In Langya County, the county governor immediately received the news that Liu Renyuan sent to him.
When he saw what Liu Renyuan said in his letter about the blow to the Japanese and Gaoguli people in the naval battle at Langya Mountain, his face flushed with excitement.
"Okay, great. Our Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty is indeed worthy of its reputation. With their help, we will have nothing to worry about!" The county guard murmured to himself with a smile.
After hearing this, the seven or eight heads of aristocratic families on the side looked at the county governor one by one, wanting to know what he meant by this.
The county guard didn't explain much, but handed the letter to them and let them read it for themselves.
After seeing what Liu Renyuan said in the letter, the heads of these wealthy families were equally excited. This battle wiped out tens of thousands of Japanese and Gaoguli people, which relieved their huge pressure.
According to the news from Liu Rengui, the total strength of the Japanese and Koguryo people is about 40,000. Now there are more than 10,000 people who have landed ashore. If there are only more than 10,000 people, all their families and counties Although the city defenders may not be able to win together, they can still fight.
But if there were 40,000 enemy troops, they would have no power to fight back. They would either flee with all their family members, or wait to be exploited by the Japanese and Gaoguli people.
Saying it is one thing, doing it is another thing. This is their old nest. How can they leave easily? If they leave like this, they can only take away Xinrou, but there is still a lot of wealth that they cannot take away at all. Then Wouldn't it be an advantage to the enemy?
And if this happens, the family will suffer a major blow, so they can't even think about escaping. They can only fight to save their wealth.
This was also the first time the county guard passed the news to them, and the heads of the major families came to the city lord's mansion to discuss the matter.
Now that they got the news about Liu Renyuan, they were naturally relieved. No one wanted to leave their hometown.
"Sir, what should we do now?" someone asked.
"According to the news I got, the imperial army is marching towards us. I think it is better for us to hold on for now and stay in the county and wait for the imperial army to arrive!" The county guard said after pondering for a while.
"If we guard the county seat, Langya County will suffer!" Someone objected.
Those who raise objections naturally have family fiefdoms in other realms. If their fiefdoms are poisoned, the losses will naturally be considerable.
"We only have more than 10,000 people, and the Japanese and Koguryo people also have many troops. If we go out of the city to fight them, we don't have much advantage!" the county guard said slowly.
"What the Sheriff said is that there is no advantage for us to go out to fight in the city. It is better to guard the county and wait for the imperial army!" Someone stood up to support the Sheriff.
"Hmph, Master Wang can stand up and talk without pain. Most of your fiefdoms are in the west of Langya County. Even if the Japanese and Gaoguli people attack, they won't affect you. You don't have to worry!"
"Master Zhang, what you said is wrong. Why do I stand and talk without pain in my back? What I said is the truth. We have more than 10,000 people and only have 5,000 county and city soldiers. The rest are from our families. The family guards who are with us, to put it bluntly, there is no problem with these people defending the city, but letting them fight against the enemy is simply hitting an egg with a stone!" Wang Family Master retorted.
"You!!! You are using other people's ambitions to destroy your own prestige! Who said that our people are just throwing eggs at rocks? Are those Gaogouli and Japanese people just three heads and six arms? Are our guards just for food?" Zhang family leader said angrily.
"Okay, stop talking. I've made up my mind. Let's do this. It's not advisable to go out of the city to fight the enemy. I will try my best to contact the reinforcements and ask them to speed up and support us!" The county guard frowned. He frowned.
"Sir, can't we let the Royal Navy and others come ashore to support us? They are the closest. If they can support us, wouldn't our problem be solved?" someone suggested.
These words made many people's eyes light up. After thinking about it, they really could do this. If the Tang Dynasty navy came to help and they were fighting out of the city, the Japanese and Gaoguli people would be attacked from both sides.
The governor's frown deepened. Looking at the heads of the families in front of him, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
After scanning the crowd, the county guard said angrily: "How can I control the Tang Navy? Don't you know who is standing behind them? That's Hong Ran, Luo Zhang next to His Majesty! Let me go I gave orders to the Tang Dynasty Navy, and they would listen to me? You guys are really crazy!"
"If someone hadn't sent us the news this time, we wouldn't have even known that the Japanese and Koguryo people would come to attack. We probably thought they would just come here to harass us like before and would leave soon. If it was true, If you think about it this way, Langya County will definitely be occupied by them, and by then you will have no chance to say such things! Let's finish playing together!"
"What's more, the Tang Navy intercepted tens of thousands of enemy troops in Langya Mountain. This is already considered a mercy. What else do you want?"
Seeing the county governor getting angry, the heads of the major families fell silent. Naturally, they encouraged the county governor to do this for their own sake. Even if something happened, it had nothing to do with them. All the responsibilities would be borne by the county governor. I didn't expect to be noticed by the county guard.
"This matter is settled like this. Close the city gate tightly and hold on. I hope everyone will stop hiding and send out all your guards to help defend the city. If the city is destroyed, I will not be the only one who is unlucky! "After the county guard finished speaking, he stood up and left. He still wanted to pass this matter on to His Majesty. He just said that he would do it immediately if he wanted to urge reinforcements. He had no intention of getting involved with these old guys.
Seeing the county guard leaving, everyone shook their heads and left, going back to their families to make arrangements.
On the East China Sea, Liu Renyuan and Liu Rengui joined forces on the sea after destroying the ships of Gaoguli and the Japanese.
"Hahaha, Rengui, you have made a great contribution this time!" On the deck, watching Liu Renyuan boarding his ship, he rushed forward to greet him.
"Sir, please don't give me a high hat. I just got the news just in time when they were annihilating the Gaoguli ship. Whatever the merits, whether they are great or not, are all the credit of the soldiers. I don't dare to take credit!" Liu Rengui said modestly.
"Don't be humble. When this incident is over, I'm afraid you will be promoted and make a fortune!" Liu Renyuan said with a smile.
Liu Rengui shook his head with a wry smile. He did not dwell on this matter anymore, but asked: "Sir, have you encountered any ships from Gaoguli or the Japanese? According to the information I found, they have three batches of ships in total. , and this is only the second batch, there should be another batch of ships coming!"
