Chapter 479
"Sir, this matter is probably not enough to rely on our county alone?" Wang Dong asked, "If the Later Yuan army invades this time, Liangzhou may be unable to resist."
"This is a trouble. I heard that Lord Hong has trained 30,000 people in the past three years, and 30,000 people in a county, which is amazing." Renjiang said, "But even so, it is only Dunhuang County, and there are no soldiers available for the other counties? The elderly, weak, sick and disabled, and those who are empty-handed, how can they fight?"
"Mr. Lin, there should be more than 30,000 people?" Renhe looked at Lin Xiqi and asked.
"Fifty thousand." Lin Xiqi said.
"I knew you had a secret move." Renhe laughed.
"Even if there are still 20,000 people in secret, it is probably not enough to deal with the Houyuan army." Renjiang sighed, "Three years ago, this time the Houyuan army invaded, it would have cost more than 100,000, right? I don't deny Lord Hong's methods of training troops. His subordinates are all elite soldiers and powerful generals, but the Houyuan Tartars grew up on horseback since childhood, and we are born with a disadvantage. If the number of people is smaller than theirs, there is basically no hope of defeat."
"One hundred thousand? Only a lot more." Lin Xiqi shook his head and said, "They are revenge on Liangzhou this time."
"Mr. Lin, you talk about revenge. I have a bigger worry in my heart." Ren Jiang frowned slightly.
"What are the worries?" Lin Xiqi asked.
"I'm worried that Houyuan's revenge this time will not target Liangzhou, but our Sandao County." Renjiang said.
Renhe's face changed slightly: "Liangzhou is the target of revenge for Houyuan, which should be true, but our Sandao County is definitely the key target of revenge for Houyuan Tatars. After all, the Tatars returned in Sandao County. In order to revenge, they might have killed Sandao County."
There is not a history of revenge like Hou Yuan.
They also encountered some resistance when they invaded the border, and they were at risk of their troops and generals.
But Houyuan will retaliate against these places in cruel revenge.
Such revenge made the officers and soldiers on the border scared.
Over time, many people are not very brave to resist Houyuan.
Hou Yuan came to rob and would evacuate soon.
Therefore, people on this border, especially some officials and local forces, are not allowed to resist by themselves.
This is what some local garrisons watched the Hou Yuan Tartars show their power and hide in the camp and dare not take action.
They were afraid that taking action would anger the Hou Yuan Tartars, and the consequences would be the crazy massacre of a town or even a county.
"Dare they?" Wang Dong said angrily, "Last time, the Yuan Tartars returned, and this time they will be no exception."
"This time it's different." Lin Xiqi shook his head and said, "Last time there were so many people in the martial arts world, but this time there was no such person to help."
Wang Dong looked depressed, but in fact he was just unwilling to accept it.
When the Later Yuan army invaded, they were not afraid of any danger, but with so many people in Sandao County, they probably could not protect them.
"Mr. Lin, the affairs of the Later Yuan Tartars and the Red Lotus Sect are just a sign for the time being. We have not yet been completely confirmed. Let's put this matter aside. The most important thing now is the new Liangzhou Governor." Ren Jiang said.
"Yes, this matter is the most critical right now." Lin Xiqi nodded, "I mean, if anyone dares to come to Liangzhou, he will send him to the West."
"I don't know who this person is yet, and I don't know which prince he is." Ren Jiang said, "But since he is the prince's men, there must be masters escorts by him, and there will even be many masters in the secret, guarding the two levels of light and darkness."
"Wang Dong?" Lin Xiqi looked at Wang Dong.
"Sir, the acting sect leader, let me leave this person's identity and whereabouts. I will tell you the news in the shortest time." Wang Dong said.
"Wang Dong, your news is still too late." Lin Xiqi said lightly.
"Please forgive me. My subordinates will speed up the deployment of personnel. I believe that it won't take long to get the news from the capital. We will definitely get the news from the capital as soon as possible." Wang Dong hurriedly stood up and said.
He knew that Lin Xiqi was a little unsatisfied with his current intelligence collection.
He was under a lot of pressure, but he could understand what adults thought.
The adults already knew that the new candidate for Liangzhou shepherd had been decided, but I didn’t know much about it. This was a kind of dereliction of duty.
"It's right to speed up, but you can't just fill in the gaps for the sake of speed. It's better to have nothing than to be too bad." Lin Xiqi said.
"Sir, don't worry," Wang Dong said, "In the past three years, the subordinates have some shortcomings in the infiltration of intelligence outside Liangzhou, but they are not idle either. In the past three years, they are mainly trained backbone personnel. Now they are almost mature, and they can be sent out. In this way, contact points in other places can be established immediately."
"The skeleton is very important. As long as there is a skeleton, everything else will be much easier." Renjiang nodded, "Mr. Wang has laid a solid foundation."
"Oh? Why didn't you say that before?" Lin Xiqi asked.
In the past three years, Lin Xiqi has not been too concerned about the matters that Wang Dong and the others are responsible for.
Therefore, Wang Dong’s recent performance cannot satisfy him.
For example, when looking for something like "Black Tiger Bandit", according to Lin Xiqi's idea, it is already possible to find it.
But no news came from Wang Dong, so he had to let the second senior brother take action in the end.
It took several months to succeed.
Now that I heard Wang Dong say this, I misunderstood him a little.
"I originally wanted to give the adult a surprise." Wang Dong said.
"Okay, this surprise is not bad." Lin Xiqi nodded, "enrich the personnel as soon as possible, and Liangzhou and Houyuan Tatars must also strengthen surveillance. Report any changes immediately."
"Yes, my subordinates will definitely not disappoint the adults." Wang Dong said.
"I will deal with the new Liangzhou Governor. Your main purpose is to be on guard against the people of the Red Lotus Sect. They should hate the Fuyun Sect so that they can be careful," said Lin Xiqi.
"I'm afraid they won't jump out. Once they jump out, my Fuyun Sect is not easy to mess with," Renjiang said.
Lin Xiqi nodded and said, "In order for the people of Liangzhou to suffer less from the Hou Yuan Tartars, the governor of Liangzhou must be in the hands of our own people."
Renjiang and others nodded.
It is no longer for personal gain. If the Liangzhou Governor who came from the court took office, Liangzhou would definitely not resist the invasion of the Hou Yuan Tartars.
These officials just need to hide in the city, and they will not pay attention to the people outside.
Therefore, only by letting Hao Feng be the governor of Liangzhou can he take advantage of his orders to take charge of the defense of Liangzhou.
