Chapter 781

Pound thought for a moment and then doubted: "Nie Shen is the magistrate of Zhangye county. He was born in a poor family, and he was also an official selected by Yang Cishi. This person's ability and wind rating have always been good. He has been pacifying the people and stabilizing the situation in the city. Now, what is he doing here? "

Gao Lan said, "you can see it at first sight!"

"Hopefully, it's good news," pound said

After a while, Nie Shen strode forward.

Nie Shen is in his early thirties. He used to be a teacher in the countryside. Even if some ability, but no way, no identity, so can not become an official.

Yang Xiu started his career in Liangzhou. Nie Shen took part in the examination. After passing the examination, he was finally appointed as the magistrate of Zhangye county.

During his term of office, Nie Shen worked hard.

Its evaluation is very good.

Nie Shen bows to Gao Lan and pound. He is just a very ordinary magistrate, and his official position is far inferior to that of Gao Lan and pound.

Gao Lan said: "the magistrate of Nie county is here. I don't know what's important?"

Nie Shen said in a deep voice: "during this period of time, Xianbei, Di and Qiang people were in trouble. General Gao and general Pang led their troops to resist, and they consumed a lot of food and weapons. In particular, Zhangye's own Treasury did not have much food. "

"Considering the lack of food and equipment, during this period of time, the lower officials told the people in the city and publicized everywhere. In the end, many people donated food and some famous families donated weapons."

"Today, a lot of people have raised ten thousand stones of grain, as well as a number of bows and arrows and armor. All the materials have been delivered to the lower floor of the city. Please accept them. "

Nie Shen's face is soft, giving people the feeling of spring breeze.

But he is a very tough man.

Ten thousand stone grain is not much. In the normal days of Gaolan, if more than 8000 soldiers were fed three meals a day, that is, about a month, they would eat up all the grain.

But now, it's food. For today's Gaolan, it's enough to last two or three months.

It's just in time for rain.

With this grain, Gaolan will have the opportunity to continue to resist.

Gao Lan was very happy. He stood up, clasped his hands, and said, "for us, the grain of Nie county magistrate is timely rain. This batch of grain came in time. Thank you. Thank you

Nie Shen shook his head and said, "when the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible. Nie Shen has no great ability to help Gao general Zhen Shoucheng pool. Therefore, we can only do some chores. "

Gao Lan said: "Nie county magistrate is modest."

Nie Shen said, "General Gao, please follow me. The food is in the tower."

"Please

Gao Lan stood up and walked out of the room with pound.

However, Pound's heart, but there is a trace of vigilance, worried about fraud, so from the beginning to the end, Pound's hand, has been pressed in the waist of the hilt. Once anything happens, pound will respond immediately.

They walked out of the room and went down to the city tower. There were carriages and carriages in the city, all with bags of grain. Now the Yamen officer in charge of transportation is unloading all the grain.

Gao Lan was very excited.

There is no way out.

At such a critical juncture, Nie Shen's food was too helpful to them.

"Step on it! Step on it

At this time, in the streets of the city, suddenly came the sound of rapid footsteps.

Not far away, a group of people came.

These people come here in different clothes. Some are young and some are very thin. They show different mental outlook one by one. The leader was a gray haired old man of some age.

He was walking on crutches.

Seeing the visitor, Nie Shen said, "General Gao, the old man in charge, is named Gao Qiu. This man has a good reputation in Zhangye and is a businessman in Zhangye. It's quite good to say that Yang Cishi was a scholar and Gao Qiu's two sons, one of whom was a magistrate in the county, and the other went directly to the Cishi's office. "

Gao Lan nodded and waited quietly.

Not long after, Gao Qiu came to Gao Lan and said, "old Gao Qiu, see General Gao Gao."

Gao Lan said, "the old man is polite. I don't know what it means that the old man brings so many people here."

Gao Qiu stroked his beard under his jaw and said slowly, "I heard that Qiang people, Haoqiang people and Xianbei people were making trouble. Now they are attacking the county. Only by relying on General Gao's presence in the town can Zhangye be immune from any crime. "

"Now that the enemy is powerful, after General Gao has resisted for more than a month, his troops are gradually insufficient. In order to solve the problem of insufficient military strength, Lao Jiu traveled all over the country and raised these 4000 people. "

"Of these 4000, there are more than 800 private soldiers of the Gao family. In addition, there are more than 3200 people in Zhangye City. They do not want their homes to be harmed or their good days to be destroyed. They all stand up to defend Zhangye. "

Gao Qiu said, "so these people come here, and they all obey General Gao's instructions.""Thank you, Mr. Gao!"

When Gao Lan listened to it, he changed his address to Gao Qiu.

Because in today's situation, with 4000 more troops, there is more hope to be stationed in the city. There was food, there were soldiers, and there were some equipment.

Gao Lan is full of confidence in this battle.

He has the advantage of geographical advantages, more advantages of people and, in addition, the cold weather is not conducive to the advance of troops, so he will have more confidence in the next battle.

Gao Qiu left without delay. Nie Shen left after handing over the grain. Gao Lan and pound took the food and arranged for all the soldiers before they went back to the room above the city.

Pound said in a deep voice: "Lao Gao, the current situation is good for us. But I'm still worried. I'm not worried about Nie Shen, I'm just worried about Gao Qiu. Will his 4000 people have any problems. If some of these people make trouble when we fight, I'm afraid it will affect the overall situation. "

Gao Lan said: "reasonably speaking, there should be no problem. After all, Gao Qiu's sons are all the winners of a successful career. If they want to keep their hard won official posts, they can only stand with us. "

However, there is no reason for you to think about it. Now, in this situation, we must be careful of everything, and we can't relax at all. You should keep a close watch on these four thousand soldiers and use them carefully to avoid problems. "

"I understand," said pound

After a pause, pound said again, "you said that in our present situation, Nie Shen asked the people to raise food and grass, Gao Qiu recruited the people and sent us soldiers. Under such circumstances, is it more helpful? "

"Of course

Gao Lan said with a smile: "according to the master's plan, Yang Cishi's drastic reform in Liangzhou is to continuously crack down on bandits and bandits, suppress the Qiang people and the enemy, which is of great help to the people of Liangzhou."

"So there is support."

"In the same way, they have offended countless people. Of course, the people they offended are the powerful, not the ordinary people. That's why this counterattack is so powerful. "

Gao Lan said: "this is also the reason why we were suddenly calculated, so that we fell into Zhangye."

Pound said: "I hope the Lord can solve the threat of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao as soon as possible, so that we can get rid of the current predicament as soon as possible. It's hard to be trapped all the time. If it wasn't for the shortage of troops, I'd like to take the army and fight with budugen. "

Gao Lan said, "your words are exactly what I want to say. But I always believe that the guild will win. Because the Lord has always been invincible and invincible on the battlefield. "

Pound nodded solemnly.

Two people look at each other, faces have a bright smile. Because they always believe that Zhang Xiu will win in the end, and they will be able to keep the clouds open and see the moon.
