"Yes, the King of Handan is trapped in Guji Town."
In the county government office of Dai County, Dai County Magistrate Li Kai looked at the powerful disciples below with an expressionless face. He could see the expressions of fear, joy, frustration, or anger.
"Although the fort of Guji Town is strong, with two thousand troops inside, and plenty of food and grass, the war is dangerous, and no one knows whether it will be able to return to this place..."
"If Huairen dies outside the Great Wall, you can rest assured." Li Kai swept his eyes one by one, "But if Huairen survives and returns to Dai County..."
Lu Chengji, who was sitting on one side of the Daizhou Governor's Office and was the secretary and military officer, could clearly see that several people shuddered and had a look of fear on their faces.
Last year, when Li Shan returned from Mayi, he found a random reason and cut off five heads of the Zhao family in Daizhou... Nowadays, the name Zhao family no longer exists in the Daizhou powerful clan.
"Ming Mansion." He Lou Shanzhu, who was promoted as the leader, stood up and said: "We, the descendants of several ethnic groups, are all serving as personal guards, accompanying His Highness..."
Li Kai slammed the table and said, "Did someone ask you to lead your children out to help?"
"Isn't it what you should do to stop the Turkic cavalry and protect Yanmen Pass from being breached?"
"Could it be that Yanmen Pass was breached and the Turkic cavalry looted your hometown?!"
Li Kai really didn't have the patience to wait any longer. Starting from the day before yesterday, Jieli Khan drove his army to attack Yanmen Pass. They not only attacked the city from the front, but also sent small groups of troops to try to attack from various trails.
In other words, the troops at Yanmen Pass were tight and they really could not be divided. When the reports of the two major defeats in Lingzhou came, Su Dingfang was afraid that Zhu Yichen and Ma Sanbao would be unable to resist, so after thinking hard for a long time, he decided to let Li Kai go back to Dai County to recruit troops. ...This is where Li Shan’s roots are deepest.
When Li Kai returned to Dai County, he sent his personal guards to report the news in advance, summoned the young and strong soldiers of the government, and then summoned all the powerful families in Dai County.
Although Daizhou is bitterly cold, it is a place of four wars and often suffers from military disasters. If a powerful clan does not have force, it is inevitable that the clan will be destroyed. If the powerful clan of Dai County can use the force of force as the main force, an army that is not too weak can be quickly organized. .
Thinking of this, Li Kai stood up suddenly and said sternly: "I don't care about the newly built county government, and my fourth uncle won't care about the Daizhou General Manager's Office that was just completed, but do you expect the Turks who have failed to break through the border in two years to wait for you? Treat each other with courtesy?!"
If the previous suggestion that Li Shan, the King of Handan, might return to Dai was just a veiled threat, then Li Kai's words were a naked threat.
After all, whether Li Shan can come back alive or not is something that even the gods can't say for sure, but Li Kai's fourth uncle, Yongkang County Duke Li Jing, is actually the general manager of Daizhou.
You won't help?
Okay, okay, as the acting county magistrate, I may not be able to do anything to you, but believe it or not, I will let my fourth uncle take action and kill you? !
Lu Chengji looked at Li Kai's ferocious face and thought that in terms of close friends, Li Kai and Li Shan should be role models.
It has been almost two months since he arrived in Daizhou, and he is serving as a military official again. Lu Chengji is very aware of the importance of Xia City... After Li Shan resigned as Dai County Magistrate, he gave up the entire Xia City. Now Li Kai is also in Chang'an. Already famous.
And Li Shan was trapped in Guji Town, and Li Kai did not hesitate to use such threats to force the powerful people in Dai County to contribute. Such friendship is amazing.
This time there was only silence for a few breaths. Although He Lou Shanzhu was trembling, he said loudly without hesitation: "The He Lou clan hopes that all the young and strong can be used to support the war!"
In fact, it is not that the powerful clans in Dai County are unwilling to contribute, but there is a certain amount of effort. If they can protect their families from the plunders of Liu Wuzhou, Yuan Junzhang, and the Turks year after year, these powerful clans are more or less in power. There are people outside the Great Wall who have some connections... If you contribute too much, you might get into trouble. If you contribute less, you won't come forward directly. Even if the Turks break through, you can give them gold, silver, jewelry, food, grass, ordnance, and you'll probably be able to avoid trouble.
But now there is nothing they can do. Li Kai has already raised the butcher's knife... Not to mention Li Jing, the general manager of Daizhou, even if it is just Li Kai, the acting magistrate, they can't bear it.
As the saying goes, to destroy the county magistrate, to destroy the family governor!
Just as Li Kai watched everyone leave and was about to discuss with Lu Chengji the matter of getting the army young and strong, the leader of the personal guards, Guo Pu, hurried in and whispered: "Mr. Yiyan is here."
Li Kai stood up abruptly, looking a little panicked. Li Yiyan was born in Guzangfang, and was a Jinshi in the same discipline as Li Shan. They had a good relationship. He was sent to Nao County as the county magistrate by the government. Now there is a war in the south of Nao County. How could he Come?
A quarter of an hour later, in the side hall, Li Yiyan, who looked tired, quickly recounted what was happening or what had happened in Nao County. Lu Chengji and Li Kai were both panicked. This rebel army... didn't even need to attack the Tang army's formation, as long as it appeared Being behind the Tang army was enough to shake the morale of the army.
Guo Pu, who had experienced battles for a long time, was still able to hold on. After thinking for a moment, he whispered: "Sanlang immediately sent out his personal guards, summoned the children of the powerful clans, and made the soldiers strong and strong. They marched through the night. They must be ahead of the rebels..."
Li Kai jumped up and said, "That's right, we're not in despair yet!"
"When Brother Yiyan left Nao County, the rebels had not yet gathered Yuan Junzhang's old soldiers into an army, so they should not attack the camp at night." Lu Chengji analyzed: "As long as we can get to Nao County quickly, check and balance the rebels, and then use ships Delivering news should be able to stabilize the morale of the troops."
Li Kai regained his composure, and while issuing orders, he called several personal guards... After a while, the personal guards' response made Li Kai's face livid.
"Brother Demou?"
"Niu Bin, the deputy commander of the cavalry, is missing." Li Kai whispered back, stood up and spread his limbs. The guard on the side picked up the Mingguang armor and put it on. The young man murmured to himself, "The Turks must not be allowed to cross Nao County..."
On this night, the entire Dai County was brightly lit. Not only the county town, but also the villages all over the place were bustling with people. Countless young men holding weapons and riding inferior horses, led by soldiers, marched towards the west side of Dai County.
Beside the huge fire, Li Kai and Lu Chengji looked at the endless crowds of people, including young people galloping towards them, strong men holding weapons, and middle-aged people who looked a little old. There are also young people who are still childish.
"Lang Jun, it's not about having too many soldiers but being good at them..."
Before Guo Pu finished speaking, Li Kai shouted: "At this time of great urgency, is there still time to assemble the army?"
"Let the bodyguards pass the order to march to Nao County and stop thirty miles north of Nao County. Whoever kills the rebel soldiers will have their heads exchanged for ten copper coins!"
The guards shouted in agreement, and the crowd was quite commotion. Suddenly, a big man in the queue stepped out on a bad horse and said loudly:
"I will fight tonight for the king of Handan."
"Your Highness governs the place with benevolence, resists foreign invasion with war, loves me and trusts me, my parents, wife and children drive me out, and I am willing to die to protect you."
"Who is unwilling to die, who is unwilling to kill the enemy?"
"Why did the Ming government lure him with money?"
