After dressing as a widow

Sergeants in counties and counties only have a few hundred people in their patrol hands. After Gu Lin's deployment and training in the past two years, they can form a mechanism that connects counties and counties, move one place and quickly reinforce other places. The first time the letter came back, and the people in several nearby counties were given time to retreat.

The sergeant who came to report lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said, "There are too many thieves attacking, even if there are horse traps and traps that the adults let the big guys dig before, let them get in the way, they can't stop the continuous stream of thieves." thief."

It is speculated that there must be a battle between Dayu and Che Luoguo. Gu Lin mentioned it to the officials and friends under his command, as well as the vice president. They didn't expect this day to come so soon!

The vice president who also got the news walked in with big strides, followed by two soldiers: "Master Gu, have you heard about it?!"

"It will take five or six days for the imperial court's reinforcements to arrive at the earliest. We must guard Lizhou City in these few days, otherwise you and I will also be guilty of dereliction of duty."

It stands to reason that Gu Lin is a civil servant, and it is his job to send troops to fight, but now who in the Lizhou Army does not know that Mr. Gu is a martial artist, and he is even better when it comes to sending troops to fight. You need to have enough confidence in general to be able to give him your back with peace of mind.

Gu Lin looked at the official friends and others standing under the hall, and said in a deep voice: "I will write the memorial immediately and send it to the capital as soon as possible. Please reinforce the imperial court. Vice President, you should immediately send someone to the front to inquire about the news and find out about this matter." The number of thieves who attacked this time, and the approximate route of travel."

"Okay." The vice president cupped his hands.

Lin Zhen just came back from the newly discovered quartz sand yesterday, and was writing a plan for setting up a glass factory. When he saw the person who often followed Gu Lin walking towards the backyard with a solemn expression, he put down his charcoal pencil and went out: "What happened?"

The servant cupped his hands: "Boss Lin, Mr. Gu has come to inform you that you should not leave the state capital in the near future."

"The State of Che Luo suddenly invaded and occupied several counties one after another. Your Excellency and Vice President Qian are already discussing the strategy against the enemy."

Lin Zhenxin's head sank: "Several counties in a row?"

"Yes, my lord has sent people to investigate the military situation."

Lin Zhen stood up and walked to the yamen in front. In the past two years, because he improved the weapons in the army and proposed to dig a lot of horse pits and traps around the counties, counties and townships, the big guys are not sorry for him appearing in the yamen. strange.

Lin Zhen walked in directly, first saluted Gu Lin, Deputy Qianhu and several officials according to the rules, and walked up to Gu Lin.

Gu Lin was talking, saw him pause, and continued: "Cheluo Kingdom has been preparing for war for a long time, and the menacing attack, the sergeants of all counties and counties add up to [-], and they are still scattered everywhere, so they can really gather quickly Yes, there are only one thousand sergeants under the deputy head of the state capital."

"If the Cheluo Kingdom gathers tens of thousands of people to attack, Lizhou will be in trouble."

In order to prevent local officials from embracing their own self-esteem, the only sergeants in the localities are those in the hands of Mr. Qian, and most of them have quarrels with the prefects and prefects who are civil servants, just like the prefects and military officers of Luozhou who were still fighting for power during the drought. .

Like Lizhou, Zhizhou and Qian Zong have a close friendship, but those who can really send troops to fight against the enemy depend on the generals stationed in various places.

And these generals, without the imperial order of the capital, would never go private.

Therefore, before the general with the Imperial Order from Kyoto came with the army, Gu Lin and Deputy Qianhu had to guard the capital of Lizhou no matter what.

Gu Lin made a final decision, and said to Vice President Qian: "Count the people and go to Zai, we must suppress their momentum, otherwise the people's hearts will be unstable, the people will flee, and it will be even more difficult to hold on to Lizhou."

"Yes." Thinking that the thieves from Che Luo Kingdom were looting the people of Lizhou, the vice president gritted his teeth with hatred, and immediately walked out the door.

Gu Lin and Lin Zhen went back to the backyard together, and Lin Zhen personally put on the armor he had made for him. Looking at Gu Lin, who had always shown himself as a literati, at this moment, he was like a sharp weapon eager to drink blood, showing his sharpness.

Lin Zhen was holding a suit of armor and a hat with plumes on top, and was about to tiptoe to put it on for him, but he had already bent his knees and lowered his head.

Seeing his hair braided and tied with a hairpin, Lin Zhen couldn't help but stroked his head, and put on his cap with fluttering feathers and a high air.

Gu Lin, who was wearing armor, suddenly picked him up with one hand, sat on his arm, and raised his eyes to look at him from below.

Lin Zhen hugged his neck tightly, bent down and bit his lip, so fierce that it almost made Gu Lin's lip bleed.

Gu Lin, who is fiercer than him, will only be more fierce than him, stroking his face with his cold armored palm, looking at him who was a little confused by the kiss: "Let's go."

"Ah."

Lin Zhen followed him and walked out of the gate of the government office. Lin Zhen told Lin Xiaoyao to bring out the horse that Lin Xiaoyao specially bought for him from Pingzhou. At this moment, it is called Tianma by everyone. It has slender limbs and is tall and handsome. It is faster and more durable than the horse that Gu Lin captured from the people of Che Luo before.

But all those who practice martial arts do not like horses. When this horse was given to Gu Lin by Lin Zhen, Gu Lin, who had always been calm, also rode the horse for a lap.

The soldiers assembled, and the people in the city smelled the urgency inside, asking each other what happened?

Everyone shook their heads.

The families of those sergeants stood anxiously in the crowd, looking at their sons and husbands.

Gu Lin and Deputy Chief Qian rode at the front on horseback, followed by Chief General, General Banner, and Small Banner. Compared with two years ago, these sergeants had changed their appearance. They were all wearing new armor and armed with The weapons here are also longer and heavier than the swords in the past, and some sergeants are pushing five huge crossbow beds that are one foot long and extremely heavy.

Just by looking at the groove on the top, one can predict how big an arrow will be to fill it.

Lin Zhen followed the traveling sergeant team and quickly walked up to the city tower of Lizhou. He looked at Gu Lin and the others who were galloping away at a high speed, and did not look back until they could no longer see Gu Lin and the others.

Early the next morning, the news came back that the troops led by Gu Lin and Deputy Qianhu had repelled the traitors from the Cheluo Kingdom who invaded Zai, killing one thousand enemies, taking six hundred prisoners, and obtaining many chariots and horses.

Lin Zhen, who was in the state capital, breathed a sigh of relief.

Before noon, another sergeant returned to the government office, bringing a new residence report.

Another group of traitors from the country of Che Luo was found in a county forty miles away from Zai. The newspaper also said that according to the people from the country of Che Luo captured by Gu Lin and the vice president, they were just here to test On the ground, the real army will soon arrive in Lizhou.

Guan Peng, Qualcomm, Jiang Jing, and Lin Zhen looked at the numbers above.

One hundred thousand.

There are actually 10 horses.

More than 100 miles away from the state capital, on the plains that are about to leave the territory of Cheluo Kingdom, simple fur tents are densely packed like rolling small bumps.

The eldest prince of Che Luo Kingdom, Sang Han, heard the news from the front and kicked him over: "Trash, so many soldiers and horses have been lost in just a few counties, what's the use of keeping you!"

The man standing beside him said: "Prince, I would like to lead the army to support, and I will let those Dayu people in Lizhou taste our power!"

Although Sanghan has a violent temper, he is not mediocre. He thought of the news he had inquired about in the past two years.

The land cultivated in Lizhou suddenly increased, the grain production increased, and a thing called cement was produced to build roads and city walls.

He tried his best, but he couldn't produce a large amount of cement, and he knew that if Lizhou was allowed to continue like this, it would sooner or later become a stumbling block for them to capture Dayu, so when he felt that the time was right, he took advantage of Lizhou When the sown grain can be harvested in the granary in a month, the army is launched brazenly.

As long as they take Lizhou, they can feed their soldiers with Lizhou's food and grass, solve the problem of food and grass for the [-] troops, and have more confidence to fight to the capital.

When the time comes, he will arrest the old emperor who is sitting in the Imperial Palace in Kyoto to wash his feet, and kill those courtiers who are blah blah blah.

Sang Khan got up and went out, and ordered the soldiers below to rush to Lizhou.

He divided the 10 horses into three groups, all the way to Lizhou, all the way to Dongyang County, which connects Lizhou to the outside world, and all the way to insert Lizhou and the main road between Lizhou and Kyoto, enclosing Lizhou.

In July, when the sorghum, buckwheat, etc. in the field are forming ears and turning into grains, the green seedlings taller than a person are very gratifying to look at.

But the common people and officials were not happy. In the past few days, the state government issued several decrees in succession, ordering the sentries guarding the fortresses to have no shortage of people at twelve hours a day. Once there is an enemy attack, they will light up the smoke.

The city walls are weak, and most of the villages exposed to the eyes of the enemy must be moved to the state capital immediately, and all the stored grain can be brought with them. The crops in the field are not yet ready for harvest, but they cannot be left for the people of Cheluo Kingdom, they must be set on fire incinerate.

Now every household has ten or twenty mu of land, so many crops have been set on fire, not to mention the common people, even the officials are bleeding.

But if you don't do this, you can't do it. Leaving the crops will only add food and grass to the thieves in the Che Luo Kingdom, giving them more energy to burn, kill and loot.

Looking at the continuous smoke rising, and the grain that can be harvested in another month, the people couldn't help but wipe their eyes.

Forcing himself not to look at it, he carried the rest of the family's food storage on his back, took his youngest son, and followed the people from the village to the state capital.

When Sang Khan arrived at the edge of Lizhou's state capital with an army of [-], he was so angry that his beard was raised when he saw the empty villages.

"Damn Dayu people!"

The people of Cheluo are plunderers by nature, and on the way here they thought that they must plunder at the edge of Lizhou. All the men, old people and children were killed, leaving only the women and brothers who could give them pleasure.

Unexpectedly, all the people withdrew.

Sang Khan kicked down the earthen wall, and looked inside the house which had obviously been moved only a few days ago: "Go straight to the state capital of Lizhou, I want them to use blood to pay for the consequences of teasing me."
