In the next few days, they all actively participated in the sacrifices at the Sheji Altar, the Spring-Welcoming Sacred Ox Ceremony, and the Drinking Ceremony for the Village Elders. They were very useful in observing the people's sentiments. Especially the village elders, wept and said: "We are so lucky to have a parent like you! Every family has food to eat, clothes to wear, and a house to live in. The children can still study, and the common people dare to go to the doctor." , this is something that every dynasty and generation can see!" Fu Xi smiled and said: "Old man, the good times are yet to come. Now we have to roll up our sleeves and work hard!" The crowd shouted: "Roll up our sleeves and work hard! "
That night, after Fu Xi finished practicing his sword skills, Wang Er said: "Master, you can start practicing your spear skills. Fu's spear technique is to hold the base of the gun in your hand and draw the gun very long, with some false and true, some strange and straight, its advance is sharp, and its retreat is fast, Its potential is dangerous, its joints are short, it is immovable like a mountain, and moves like thunder. It is easy to learn but difficult to master. As the saying goes: "The moon stick, the year sword, the spear of a lifetime." "Master, you have to work hard! I only learned a little bit to teach you how to get started. In the future, you can only rely on yourself to learn more deeply." Fu Xi said well. Learn the moves first, then understand. Fu Xi is very patient in this regard. There is no rush or impatience in Zhuang Gong. He has reached an advanced stage of Qi nourishment. Strength training has been carried out step by step. The stone lock has reached 60 kilograms. Tai Chi has been strengthened and he can be called a master. Fu's knife skills have been perfected and he is waiting for enlightenment and breakthrough. Fu Xi mastered Fu's marksmanship with each move. Wang Er sighed: "Master's movements are accurate, how come he can be so presentable just after learning?"
After Fu Xi finished practicing his marksmanship, he suddenly realized that he was tired tonight. After bathing under Xi Qiu's care, he quickly fell asleep, not even practicing the secret skills.
When I woke up tomorrow, He Xiqiu added a morning exercise, but something didn't feel right. I thought that I would practice swordsmanship after strength training in the morning, and only boxing and marksmanship in the evening. During breakfast, the whole family was there and it was very lively. Xiao Fuyu looked timidly at Fu Xi. Fu Xi smiled and said, "Yu'er, was the breakfast delicious?" Fu Yu nodded while eating the steamed buns. Fu Xi said: "Eat more to gain strength." Fu Yu nodded. Xiyue said: "Why don't you talk to your father?" Fuyu said timidly: "Yes, father." Fuxi asked Xiyue: "Yu'er is almost four years old, what do you usually learn?" Replied: "When spring comes, I'll invite you to my house to enlighten me. Now, I'll just teach him some Tang poetry." Fu Xiyan said: "Okay. Take your time, don't spoil the child, and don't be too strict." Xiyue Reply: "Okay, sir."
On March 7, the county magistrate Gao Xiuwen came to see Fu Xi urgently and reported that hungry people were pouring in from all over the country, estimated to be thousands. Fu Xi asked: "What does Gao County Cheng think should be done?" Gao Xiuwen said: "Our county is undergoing great development and needs people, but we need to calculate the money and food capacity." Fu Xi said: "Okay. Please ask Gao County Cheng and Li to register We have full authority to deal with each room." Gao Xiuwen took the order and left.
On the 20th, county lieutenant Li San came to see Fu Xi urgently and reported that there was an intrusion of horse bandits on the northeastern border. Fu Xi asked: "How does Uncle Li San think we should deal with it?" Li Sanyan said: "Let Gao Baichang lead five people to respond accordingly." Fu Xiyan said: "Okay. The enemy situation is unknown, so Gao Baichang must be careful."
On the 25th, County Lieutenant Li San came to see Fu Xi urgently and reported a letter from Fei Ge on the northern border: "About a thousand Khitan cavalry and Han troops broke into our border and rushed toward the county town." Gao Baichang also wrote from Fei Ge at the same time. On the way, they met about a hundred Khitan cavalry. Gao Xiucheng had urgently occupied a manor and gathered the villagers to guard it. Fu Xi was shocked: "Uncle Li San, what should we do?" Li San replied: "Ring the bell to warn, the county government will hold a meeting, the city defense troops will go to the city wall, and the city defense work will be fully launched. Ask the neighboring counties for help and report to the king."
Everyone comes to the county government office. After Li San introduced the enemy situation, he said: "All those in the city who can hold knives and crossbows should go to the armory to pick up weapons and armor and put them on the wall. I will direct them. Other men in the city will carry the city defense materials, such as rolling logs, stones, etc., and put them on the wall from the barracks. Cao Zuo Zhao Si is in command. The suppression in the city is under the command of Cao Zuo Sun Wu of the execution chamber, who leads a small number of execution chamber servants and some retired disabled veterans." Fu Xiyan: "Okay. Do we have trebuchets and large crossbows?" Li San replied: "We have trebuchets. We have five machines, ten large crossbows, forty small crossbows, 200 bows, and plenty of stone bullets and arrows." Fu Xi asked, "How are the people in the hospital?" Hu Liangcai, Cao Zuo of the hospital, replied, "The people have been gathered. Fu Xi said: "The hospital has a medical point near the city wall, close to the treatment." Hu Liangcai said so. Fu Xi finally said: "Let's go up the wall."
Everyone went up to the north wall. Zhao Si directed the men to hoist the suspension bridge and seal the city gate. The small town of Suxian County has four gates: east, west, north and south. The gates are very thick, up to 20 centimeters, covered with iron, nailed with copper nails, bolted with large wooden bolts, and equipped with large iron gates. Rolling logs, stones, forked poles, flying hooks, Yaksha hammers, crash carts and other defensive materials were continuously transported up the city wall. Fuxi looked down at the outside of the city. The city wall was about five meters high and the top of the city wall was about four meters wide. There are hard towers on all sides of the city wall, protruding outwards. There are regiment towers and round platforms at the corners, all of which are attack platforms. Each gate has a tower, which can be used for commanding, observing, delivering orders, and placing equipment and materials for the defending troops of each section. Li San came over to report: "There are 170 city defense troops and 150 other soldiers. The secret army is in Zhuangzi in the east of the city, led by four old brothers, Xu Shisan, Shan Liuliu, Zhang Jiujiu, and Wang Eryi. . Master, how to arrange the secret army?" Fu Xi asked: "Can these troops in the city be able to defend it?" Li replied three times: "Yes." Fu Xi said: "The secret army is not moving, waiting for the opportunity to move." Li The three names are.
One day later, dust was flying on the official road in the north of the city, and hundreds of cavalry were rolling in. The leader was a Han general. Although he was not tall, he was very energetic. On the left is a Khitan general. He is not tall, but has a lion's head, round eyes and a huge mouth. On the right is a scribe with a slightly bearded sword eye and excellent riding skills. Behind them were mostly Khitan cavalry. The scribe said: "My lord, the city has been prepared. The soldiers have set up camp temporarily until the follow-up troops arrive. We can patrol the city first." The Han general nodded.
In Fuxi, everyone watched on the city wall. The county magistrate Gao Xiuwen said: "This is Xun Lie, the magistrate of Wei County. How could he get involved with the Khitan people? Are you rebelling against the king and coming to attack us?" Li San shouted: "Xun Lie, why are you here?" The scribe replied: "Wu Shou Wenpan deprived the people, and the people were in dire straits. General Xun raised troops to plead for the people. It must be the same in your county. We can open the door to discuss righteous matters." Li San asked: "Why are you here with me?" Are the Khitans collaborating?" The scribe replied: "I have formed an alliance with the Khitans, and the Khitans helped me in the uprising. I will give the Khitans money and grain trade, and each will defend his territory in the future." Fu Xi shouted: "Let's fight." Xun Lie and a dozen other cavalry patrolled Go to the city.
After Xun Lie and others finished their inspection, Xun Lie said: "Wen Bai, there are a lot of people in the city, and there are about 300 sergeants." The scribe's surname was Du and his first name was Wenbai. He replied: "It just shows that there are not enough real sergeants, because there must be some extraordinary ones. There are a large number of sergeants to fill up the numbers. Suxian spies reported that there are more than 200 city defense troops, and 50 people have been lured out of the city. They are trapped by the Khitan team in the northeast manor, and there are more than 100 troops in the city. Therefore, I estimate that the sergeants on the city are half of the city defense troops and half of the filling numbers. .”
