    People working outside came back at their accustomed time.

    This time, I didn¡¯t laugh when I entered the city. I didn¡¯t bother to get the meal and hot broth, and hurried towards the gathering crowd.

    "What happened?"

    "Why is someone injured?"

    "Did you call?"

    "Is there any news from the county government?"

    Their expectations were not disappointed, the crowd gathered was talking about it, and the county government did not disappoint them, and notices were posted on the city wall.

    Gwangju Prefecture is under siege and is in danger.

    It turned out to be Guangzhou Prefecture. The working people breathed a sigh of relief. Guangzhou Prefecture was still far away from their Dou County.

    "Why is it so far away? Guangzhou Mansion is really in danger, and it will only take a few days for those soldiers and horses to attack."

    "Don't talk about Guangzhou Prefecture, the world is in chaos, how can the eggs be completed when the nest is overturned."

    The dark clouds have already been hanging over our heads, but everyone has been trying hard to keep their heads down as if they can't see it. Now the dark clouds are getting closer, and they have to look.

    Someone ran out of the city and brought the latest news from the county government.

    "Guangzhou Prefecture is here to ask for help!"

    This sentence caused the people to explode. Oh my god, they are just a county, how can they save a prefecture?

    ?¡­

    He had just persuaded Madam Wu not to keep the chief clerk of the cavalry. Before he could return to the hall to sit down and have a sip of tea, he was so shocked that he lost three souls. When he looked at Madam Wu again, he lost another six.  soul.

    Although this woman was covered by a veil and burqa, the chief clerk could still tell at a glance what she was going to say next.

    On one side, she is a deity and a benevolent Bodhisattva in the eyes of the people, but on the other side, she is a ferocious ghost.

    Bodhisattvas will help those who are suffering, and ghosts and monsters are not afraid of evil people and evil deeds.

    ¡°Young madam, be careful,¡± the chief clerk said.

    Li Minglou asked cautiously: "How many soldiers and horses surrounded Guangzhou Prefecture?"

    The scout from Gwangju Prefecture who made the request burst into tears and fell into a coma. He was taken away for treatment and was unable to provide any more information.

    The Dou County scout, whose body was also covered in scars, said: "About two thousand."

    "That's not much." An official blurted out. The last time Dou County besieged the city was probably the same number. He felt a little contempt for Guangzhou Prefecture. Why couldn't he defend it?

    The scout said: "They are soldiers and horses coming from Xuanwu Road."

    Some arrogant officials were suddenly shocked. Does this mean that Guangzhou Prefecture will be attacked from two sides?

    "Ande Zhong's troops have not yet arrived, but the rebels from Xuanwu Road made a surprise attack, catching the state capital by surprise," the scout said.

    I am afraid that I was frightened. Two thousand soldiers and horses are not many, but thinking about facing Ande Zhong's soldiers and horses wreaking havoc on Huainan Road, people panicked, their momentum disappeared, and they became chaotic.

    When the scout said these words, Li Minglou stopped asking: "Get ready to go out to assist Guangzhou Prefecture."

    With the preparation, the main book that was startled was shouting to be prepared: "Mrs. Young! This is different from the previous Kaicheng Gate out of the city!"

    This is what many officials in the hall want to say.

    Previously, Dou County also went out of the city to fight, but basically outside the city. The farthest was to pursue the rebels outside Dou County.

    Gwangjufu is a place that takes several days of walking to get to.

    If the battle encounters danger, there is no city behind them to retreat to.

    The most important thing is that if you want to aid Guangzhou Prefecture, you will definitely have to take away many soldiers and horses. Isn't Dou County in danger?

    Li Minglou looked at the chief register: "Sir, this is the same as going out to the city to fight before. What we saved before was the people, and now we are also saving the people. The difference is only in the number of people."

    The chief clerk smiled bitterly, such an explanation could not be wrong.

    Li Minglou looked at everyone in the hall again: "Everyone has been paying attention to the movements of the rebels these days. Fortunately for everyone, the rebels have never come to us, but this is also something that makes everyone worried. I was also asking just now  How long it will take for Yuanji's rebels to reach here, Yuanji said, depends on how quickly other cities fall."

    Yuanji had already asked someone to get the map, and he started to expand it when he heard this.

    "Everyone can take a look. This is the city that has been lost on Huainan Road. It is obvious that it is encircling our Dou County." He said, pointing.

    The officials gathered around to take a look. Although they all knew that the cities had been lost, compared to the words, the maps were more shocking.

    "When Huainan Road falls into the hands of the rebels, our Dou County will be doomed." Li Minglou said, "So if you want to keep Dou County, you must keep Huainan Road and keep more cities, so that you can fight against Ande Zhong's rebels. This rebellion is not short-term. The whole of Daxia is in chaos. It's not for us to hide."  You can survive half a year and a year in Dou County safely."

    There was a moment of silence in the hall, and the chief clerk sighed softly: "So this is the same as going out to the city to fight. If you want to be safe, you can only go and fight. Fight back to scare them, so that they don't dare to invade."

    "Your Excellency, you are right." Li Minglou curtsied to the chief secretary, "This is an opportunity. It is not Ande Chung's army that attacks Guangzhou Prefecture, but more than two thousand skirmishers. Repulse them and save Guangzhou Prefecture.  , saved tens of thousands of people and thousands of troops, and when the Andezhong rebels invaded, we had a chance to fight them."

    Is this his credit again?  The chief clerk laughed, looked at Li Minglou and shook his head, that's it, this little woman did everything, let him do the talking.

    "Following the order from the government, Dou County will rush to the rescue. We will arrive at the right time." The chief clerk straightened his official hat and said solemnly.

    The officers and generals in the hall all bowed their heads and responded.

    Countless people gathered outside the county government office and were nervous. Zhang Xiaoqian strode out holding a written notice.

    "My Lord Registrar has an order. When Guangzhou Prefecture encounters an enemy, Dou County rushes to the rescue. We will arrive at the right time." He shouted loudly and unfolded the notice with a clatter.

    The people were in an uproar.

    Zhang Xiaoqian was not disturbed and asked the officials to post the notice. He mounted his horse and led the officials into the crowd. He calmly explained and declared amidst the sounds of questions, cries and doubts.

    There was a great movement of troops and horses in the military camp. Troops and horses wearing armors and various weapons were galloping in groups, constantly gathering in the open space outside the wall. Horse hooves were heavy, armors were clanking, and the atmosphere in Dou County was tense and dignified.

    The entire people of Dou County were watching. Although they were reluctant to do so, they had to accept the explanation given by the government and the current facts.

    There are no eggs left behind when the nest is overturned. If you want to survive, you have to dare to risk your life.

    Over there, the cries of relatives bidding farewell to the soldiers who were selected to fight continued, while people here began to analyze the war.

    "I heard that there are two thousand soldiers and horses besieging the city. We should go to at least five thousand here."

    "No, a large number of people may not necessarily lead to victory. A fast horse can move quickly with less baggage. A maximum of three thousand is enough."

    "Then we can still have two thousand soldiers and horses left in Dou County. That's great."

    The atmosphere gradually became peaceful, but soon new news came that shocked the people. Even the people who were reluctant to say goodbye to their loved ones stopped crying.

    Mrs. Wu Shao will go on an expedition together.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
