Nanyang County.
Before Quan Jingxuan became the chief supervisor, he served as the governor of Nanyang County. Even after becoming chief supervisor, this place was once one of his defense areas.
However, this Nanyang is not the old Nanyang of Jingzhou that everyone is familiar with, this is Nanyang of Anzhou.
The two Nanyangs are not far away and are often confused. This problem is because there are too many states at present, the place names have been changed repeatedly, and the jurisdiction has been changed year by year. In comparison, the same name is just a small problem.
Quan Jingxuan had governed this place at the beginning until he was dismissed in the north due to unfavorable war. Yuwen Yong found a new person who was not new to replace him.
At this moment, six of the eight city gates in Nanyang were opened, and there were still many people coming and going, and some of the big cities were lively.
The minor officials in the city held documents and informed them along the way.
In recent days, the temple has issued many government orders, which has made the minor officials particularly busy and have almost no time to rest.
But their spirits are still good. Although their errands have increased, their treatment has also improved a lot. Several of them have changed into new clothes and are working harder when reading.
There are more officials coming and going in and out of the official office.
The door was open, much more noisy than the city gate.
At this moment, in the inner room, several important officials are reporting on the situation in various places.
The general manager of the two places of Jingzhou and Anzhou, the governor of the fourteen places of Jingzhe and other provinces, the military leaders of Nanyang and Pingyang and other places of Nanyang, the governor of Jingzhou, the Duke of Wukang County, and the general Cui Qian was sitting in the upper position, listening to everyone's memorials.
Cui Qian is an old minister.
He started his family during the Northern Wei Dynasty. Later, he followed the governor of Jingzhou, He Basheng. After returning to the Western Wei Dynasty, he was appreciated by Yuwen Tai. He was promoted all the way, fought wars, governed the land, fought against the Chen people, and chased the Qi people. He was the only remaining in the country.
One of the famous officials.
When Lao Quan was the chief supervisor of Jingzhou, this person was already the chief supervisor of another state. After Quan Jingxuan disappeared, he was promoted on the spot and became the chief supervisor of two states.
When the old man was young, he was brave and good at fighting and was able to give advice to the army. Now that he is old this year, he cannot get on a war horse.
However, he used his past experience to appease the military and civilians in his jurisdiction, and carried out education without distinguishing between Chinese and foreigners, and had a good governance.
His political achievements have been ranked first in the country for many years, and Yuwen Yong issued an imperial edict in just a few months to praise this good herd.
It’s a pity that Cui Qianshi is too old.
He was sitting in the upper position at this moment, like a candle in the wind, his whole body was thin and small, a little dry, and his official uniform looked extremely large when worn, as if he was covered in, his hair and beard were sparse, and
Grey white and dry,
His eyes looked a little cloudy.
The county magistrate couldn't bear it when he saw his appearance.
"Mr. Cui, I'll report to Xiangyang to Xiangyang about the autumn harvest. Why do you come here in person?"
"You have just recovered from a serious illness, so don't move around."
This county magistrate is Cui Qian's "old official". Cui Qian recommended him when he was working at the Shangshutai. Logically speaking, the two cannot work in the same place, but Cui Qian has a very good reputation. Yuwen Yong
I don’t care about these things, I just want to find some capable people for him to help him manage the local area better.
Cui Qian looked up at the county magistrate, "In the past, most of the local officials were like what you said. After arriving at the place, they locked themselves in the mansion, waiting for the devil to send the documents expressing their political achievements and stay in the place.
After three years, I still don’t know the roads in the city, and I can’t even walk the official office clearly...: Can this really manage the place well?"
"So too. I always say that officials must first be familiar with their responsibilities. Don't stay in the office and be a noble person. Sometimes you can go out for a walk more often and see what your place looks like
."
"You will do it if I take the lead. If you take the lead, the other officials in Jun Township will do it."
"Your Majesty has entrusted me with an important task. How could you delay major issues because of this little disease?"
"Stay on."
The county magistrate did not dare to persuade him anymore, so he had to report seriously.
Although Cui Qian is old, his mind is still very clear. If there is anything wrong with their report,
He could find out immediately and correct it, so everyone was very serious in front of him.
Just as everyone started working enthusiastically, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded from outside the door.
The next moment, a tall young officer walked in quickly. He looked at everyone, walked quickly to the boss's side, and whispered a few words in his ear.
"What?!"
Mr. Cui's muddy eyes instantly became clear, and some uneasiness flashed in his eyes.
His eyes swept over the people in front of him, "You guys stay!"
"The rest of them go out!"
Everyone didn't know what happened, and soon, there were only Manager Cui and several important officials in the county left in the house.
"The Chen people's cavalry attacked Yiyang Pass! Now he is heading towards Nanyang County!"
"ah??""
The officials' reactions were similar to those of the level resident, and they all felt absurd at first.
The Chen people's cavalry came to knock on the door? Is this fucking reasonable?
The county magistrate first reacted, "No! It must be the rebels of Qi State conspiring to invade with the Chen people!"
He hurriedly looked at General Cui, and anxiously even his name became private, "Sir, please get in the car immediately and return to Xiangyang!"
"Nanyang is away from Yiyang Pass...:
2
The voice of the county magistrate suddenly stopped again. The distance between the two sides was too close. Maybe the enemy's cavalry had already approached the city and fled by car, which was like sending themselves to the enemy's hands.
Cui Qian said, "Not to mention that I can't walk out, even if I can walk out, I will never run away!
North "This is my defense zone, where can I let Chen be so arrogant here?"
"You should tell everyone immediately, be prepared to defend the city, and let the minor officials issue another notice, so that the people should not be afraid, just say that I, Cui Qian, are here, and I must protect them all!"
Cui Qian cheered up and began to command.
There are not many things that can be done at the moment, there are not many troops in Nanyang, the main forces of Jingzhou are in Jiangxia, and the forces of Anzhou are in Liang State.
Under such circumstances, there are not many things that can be done.
Cui Qian can only do three things now, close the door and guard the people, comfort the people, and invite reinforcements.
The comfortable atmosphere in Nanyang disappeared immediately. The local soldiers entered the city one after another, guarding the city walls in various places. At the same time, they were on guard in the city and not allowed to enter and exit. There were soldiers guarding the intersections of the roads everywhere. When the people in the city saw this attitude, they felt naturally
I also understood that it was a mess, and they were hiding at home, trembling, hoping that nothing big would happen.
The minor officials set out on the road again, but this time they changed the reading content. The minor officials told the bandits that there were thieves coming, and they also said that the general manager Cui Qian was in the city, so that everyone should not panic.
These notices finally calmed the people in the city a little.
Mr. Cui and the others still know it.
That's a good official.
After an hour, the enemy's cavalry appeared outside the city.
Liu Taozi rode a black war horse and stared at the city in the distance. Huang Fajita and others followed him and watched together.
Huang Fapu feels a little unreal at this moment.
He never expected that one day he would go out to fight with Liu Taozi.
When I remembered the past period when the two of them met each other, Huang Fapu was even more wrong, and I always felt an illusory feeling.
Liu Taozi pointed to the city in the distance and looked at Huang Fa poking beside him, "The enemy is really prepared. What should General Huang think he should do?"
"Ah...Han Lord..."
"If you feel awkward, just call it a general."
"Isn't this rude?"
"Then you call it the king."
"With, the king, Nanyang is not a small city, but its military strength is insufficient. I think there is no need to fight. I just need the king to come forward, tell his identity, and persuade them to surrender. The king never surrenders, and is famous all over the world.
They learned that the king had arrived in person, and even if they refused to offer the city, they would have no morale anymore..."
Liu Taozi suddenly looked at him, "Is my name so scary?"
Huang Fa smiled bitterly, "When I was in the past when I was confronted by the king, I was so scared that I couldn't eat for several days..."
Liu Taozi grinned and showed a less obvious smile.
In fact, Liu Taozi and Huang Fakuan have some similar personalities.
Whether in terms of combat style or in other aspects, Huang Fabiao also likes to make some not-so-funny jokes, and from time to time he also talks about other people.
The army of both sides confronted each other, and the people on the city wall were also shocked when they looked at the so-called Chen Bing in the distance.
This armored and formation, they didn't believe that they were the cavalry of the State of Chen if they killed them.
These are the cavalry under Dugu Han Demon. Such elite force, could it be Yao Xiong or Gao Yanzong who came in person?
The prefect Fu looked at Cui Qian and stood on the city tower.
The prefect was a Han man and his surname was Liu. He didn't like Liu Taozi's "impersonation" of the Liu surname.
He is good at studying and has some talent in governance, but he seems a little lacking in military view. After Yuwen Yong took office, he promoted many such cultural people to gradually replace the military honors who bent his bow and shot eagles in the past.
Children, this certainly brings many benefits and is beneficial to internal affairs, but it also has disadvantages, such as not knowing about military affairs.
It’s not that I don’t know the military at all, and I definitely have an understanding of military affairs, but it would be a bit of a slight leap to command the war.
Cui Qian's eyesight was not very good. As he grew older, he became more and more colorful. He could not see the knights outside the city clearly, so Liu Taishou described it to him one by one.
Hearing Liu Taishou’s description, Cui Qian’s face became increasingly ugly.
Then a man rode his horse and rushed out of the enemy's formation. This man was very experienced. He came outside the city wall.
It allows people on the city wall to see him, but it is just outside the range.
Liu Taozi raised the horse in his hand and roared loudly, "I am Liu Taozi from Han Kingdom!!!"
"Let you surrender immediately!!!"
"Those who surrender will not be killed!"
Liu Taozi's voice was loud. When he shouted, the enemies far away heard it. The messengers behind him stood in a row and began to pass on messages to him.
Liu Taishou was telling Cui Qian about the situation of the enemy, but he was still confused when he saw each man and a cavalry rushing out.
I heard this.
At this moment, Liu Taishou's face turned pale, his legs were trembling violently, and he couldn't stand steadily, so scared that he was out of control.
A calm and powerful hand held his hand.
It's Cui Qian.
Cui Qian stared at him and said seriously: "Don't be afraid, don't let others see your fear."
Liu Taishou's lips were trembling, "Big, big, sir, that's Liu, Liu...'
"I know."
Cui Qian said, then turned to look at the rest of the people.
As Liu Taozi shouted out like this, even the prefect was scared to this way, let alone the other soldiers.
The city walls became noisy and bustle. Now Liu Taozi finally had the prestige of a person like Yang Zhong and Duan Shao in the past.
They were able to shake the enemy through their names and reduce their morale. Yang Zhong and thousands of people dared to go to Qi State, shouting their names along the way, scaring many Qi generals to flee without fighting.
Duan Shao is even more so. When the enemy heard that Duan Shao was coming, the reinforcements didn't dare to move forward...:::,
Looking at the panicked people, Cui Qian looked at the officers beside him, and he said loudly: "I am stationed here under the order of Your Majesty. You must not let the Eastern thieves take the city. I will never bow to Liu Taozi.
Oh, if you are afraid, you will cut off my head and give it to Liu Taozi!!"
The officers were silent.
They looked at the old man with gray hair.
This old man has done many good things in the local area, and has won everyone winter clothes, increased rewards and salary,
Set a better rotation and resumption...
The fear on everyone's faces suddenly disappeared a lot.
How many people have raised their courage, "So what about Liu Taozi?! Can you still fly up the city wall?! Our reinforcements will arrive soon, what are you going to be afraid of?"
"Even if you die, you will die with a virtuous person. What's wrong with it?"
Many generals on the city wall spoke out for support.
Liu Taozi stayed on the city wall, watching the enemy become confused at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then gradually calmed down, and he rode his horse back.
"General Huang, it seems that I am not as scary as you said.

Huang Fajitao frowned at this moment. He stared at the city wall in the distance solemnly, "I know the prefect here. He is a young man with no courage. He was once despised by the soldiers. How about such a person?
...\n.Is there anyone else here?"
Just as Huang Fa was thinking hard, he strode to his side and said in a muffled voice: "General!! I am willing to be the pioneer!!"
Huang Faji was shocked and hurriedly turned around, but found that the person who spoke was Xiao Moha, the general under the tent.
Huang Fapu is a little confused.
It was obvious that Chunyu Liangcai praised Xiao Moha to Huang Fa not long ago, saying that this person became more and more calm and talented as a general. Why did he become so impatient after meeting the Han people? What about the recurrence of old age and illness?
Now I haven't figured out the situation, and I don't even know who is defending the city. Are you going to start siege?
Huang Fajitao is not easy to dissuade him. He asked for a fight under his devil. If he refuses, what do he think about the allies? Save his strength and let friendly forces attack?
Just when Huang Fajitao didn't know how to speak, Liu Taozi spoke.
"Don't rush to attack first. First check the surrounding terrain, find out where reinforcements may arrive, and then make siege equipment. I think the city wall is tall, and it is inevitable that there will be too many casualties."
Huang Faji looked at Liu Taozi with some gratitude, then glared at Xiao Mohe, "General Chunyu just praised you, why are you so impatient?"
Xiao Mohe hurriedly said, "General, it's not that I'm in a hurry to get military achievements, but the enemy is not ready to defend at this time. The reinforcements have learned the news and cannot be able to get it at this moment. It's the best way to seize the city.
If the opportunity is delayed, I am afraid that the siege will be blocked by reinforcements."
Huang Fajita didn't say anything.
Liu Taozi said calmly: "The gains and losses of a city are not important."
"We came from afar, not to occupy only one Nanyang. When fighting, the light should be long-term."
"Brother!"
Gao Yanzong could no longer help but speak, and this was the first time he interrupted Liu Taozi. He said helplessly: "Why did you teach me... He is not his own family."
Liu Taozi was not angry either, "Since he is an ally, he should let go of his grudges, take them sincerely, and work together. If he can't do it, he will be defeated by the enemy."
Xiao Mohe was stunned for a long time, then bowed his head and bowed to Liu Taozi.
Liu Taozi did not choose to attack the city directly, but distributed the demon army to investigate the surrounding situation. She seemed calm and confident.
Cui Qian, who was on the city wall, was also a big shot who had participated in many wars in the past. At this moment, he heard the prefect around him telling the other party about his actions, and he was getting more and more anxious.
"not good!"
"This is to use Nanyang as bait to eat reinforcements from all over the country!"
"This is the old trick of Qi people. From the time when Gao He Liuhun came, they were fighting like this!"
"Then, what should we do?"
A hint of cruelty flashed across Cui Qian's face.
"How many pigeons do you have here?"
"There are thirteen more."
"Enough."
"Come with me."
Cui Qian asked the prefect to help him walk down, and then ordered a few confidants to strengthen the north wall.
After they walked down the wall, Cui Qian suddenly asked, "Liu Sheng, are you afraid of death?"
Liu Taishou trembled all over.
"Sir, I..."
"There are no generals inside and outside Anzhou. The only thing we can rely on is Duke Yun, who had just arrived near Zhongzhou. "I am going to ask the reinforcements not to move forward, wait for Duke Xun to arrive and lead them to come. During this period,
,
We have to guard the city.”
The prefect was silent for a long time, and then whispered: "I am willing to fight to the death with the lord."
"Don't be afraid, we are fighting to the death for the king's affairs, and the public of Yun State has always been called for speed again...\n.\n.\n.Okay,
Go and pass my orders.”
