Chapter 348： Stable

Mu Yangling just sat on the city tower for one night. With her in charge, it was fortunate that the barracks did not become chaotic, and Song Zhi sent all the yamen to the street, because Mu Yangling said, "It's better to let go of the news. , let them know in their hearts, otherwise it will only make people more panic." Song Zhi beat gongs and drums to inform everyone that General Qi was going to recover the homeland occupied by the Hu people, so in order to show their support for this great He hopes that everyone will donate money and materials to the soldiers on the front line.

If Song Zhi was just beating on the street with gongs and drums, everyone would have doubts whether the big family should run for their lives or would run for their lives, but he asked for donations, and those country squires who had the intention of quitting suddenly did not leave.

has asked for donations, it must be true, since it is not the barbarians who beat them, but they beat the barbarians, what are they fleeing?

Another example of Qi Xiuyuan’s recovery of the Hanzhong Mansion was in the past. The squires donated money with confidence. It wasn’t much, but it was a signal.

The common people saw that all the squires had donated, and they had a way to do it. If they had donated, it must be true, so they also contributed money and things. The rich put a few dozen coins into the donation box, but they had no money. He sent a roll of his family's old cotton-padded jacket over, and Song Zhi refused to come, and asked people to remember his name, saying that he might be able to write it down when the county annals were repaired in the future.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's enthusiasm increased, and people who went to the yamen to donate money and goods lined up on Qianmen Street.

The county magistrate of Linxian looked at the squires who had already started to pack their things and planned to flee south, and immediately moved in as they did. Seeing that those squires were still dubious, the magistrate shouted anxiously: "Our county is not worse than Mingshui County, so we must not If you lose to them, let people go to the village and beat drums and gongs, and let everyone donate more materials, and the one who donates the most money in the county can go to the military camp as a representative.”

No one wants to go to the military camp, but this is honor after all, and it has contributed to the recovery of the homeland. This is a great temptation.

The people of Dazhou have become obsessed with regaining their homeland.

As soon as these words came out, the squire who had already cleaned up half of them immediately stopped and gathered his family to discuss how much to donate.

The magistrate of Linxian County breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and the idea spread quickly, because two counties had already settled down, and the squires of other counties didn't make a fuss, and began to think about donating money. Regarding donations, the yamen in the yamen were dispatched to the streets to maintain order.

The movement in the direction of Xingchengguan has not stopped. By the time of dawn, the messengers have run back and forth three times, bringing back the latest news. Qi Xiuyuan is not at Xingchengguan at all. At the gate was Mu Shi. He only brought 2,000 people, while the Hu people had 6,000 elite soldiers. At this time, they could only guard the gate and wait for reinforcements from the direction of Jingzhao House.

But Mu Yangling knew that there must be a lot of golden soldiers garrisoned in Jingzhao Mansion. Jingzhao Mansion itself is also a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult for Qi Xiuyuan to take down Jingzhao Mansion quickly.

She frowned at the map, Song Zhi hurried in, and said, "Miss Mu, the county has settled down, how is the front line?"

Mu Yangling already knew how Song Zhi donated money. At that time, she still praised Song Zhi's wit, but now she has no mood, because the latest news brought back by the messenger said that the loss of Xiying It is very big, and the Jinbing's offensive is more and more brave.

Obviously, Jin Bing wanted to force Mu Shi to send troops out for help in order to solve the crisis in Jingzhao Mansion.

Since Qi Xiuyuan had only left 2,000 people at Xingcheng Pass in a desperate attempt, and had emptied the Xiying that was stationed in the rear, he would attack Jingzhao Mansion with the determination to win. Not to mention whether he was willing to come back, his father would not take it lightly. Send a distress signal.

But if Qi Xiuyuan does not return to help, once the Xingcheng Pass is broken, the furious Jin Bing will not let go of a single person in the pass, not only Xingzhou Prefecture, but also Mingshui County and Changju County can not escape the fate of massacre. The gate must be guarded.

Mu Yangling walked around the room twice with a dignified face, and General Ying Qian gritted his teeth and ordered: "Miss Mu, please ask Biao Xia to bring someone to support."

"No," Mu Yangling said: "As soon as you leave, the county town that has settled down will definitely be in chaos, and you can't do much."

Most of the people who were left behind were soldiers who were recruited this year. They only received half a year of training, so how could they go to the battlefield?

Going is just being cannon fodder.

The two thousand elite soldiers of Xingchengguan were tempered by the battlefield, although the five thousand golden soldiers on the opposite side were also tempered.

Mu Yangling turned his head and asked the messenger, "My father, I mean how does Mu Qianhu defend the city now?"

"Mu Qianhu divided the people into two teams and took turns to defend the city, but the Jin Bing's offensive was too fierce, they simply divided into five teams and took turns to go. There are more than 100 people, although the general has left a lot of materials, but there are too few people..."

The messenger remembered the tragic situation he saw on the tower, wiped a tear and said: "The people who followed Mu Qianhu said that they didn't expect so many Jin soldiers to come out. Earlier, General Qi estimated that they could break through 3,000 people is not bad. now..."

"How about the city walls?"

"It was only repaired last year, and it is very solid."

Mu Yangling said with a sullen face: "Go, hurry up and tell Mu Qianhu that he will do as long as he can keep the time."

"Miss Mu, Jinbing does not rest at night, and they will also attack in turn."

Mu Yangling's face looked a little gloomy under the sunlight, "No, it's been a night, as long as you keep the day, they will definitely encourage them during dinner, and they will give the soldiers time to rest, and the time will come. It is safe to arrive at Hai Shi."

Mu Yangling turned his head and asked Song Zhi, "Master Song, don't you think it's colder today than yesterday?"

Song Zhi was stunned for a moment, wondering why Mu Yangling suddenly mentioned the weather, but he still said: "It's a cold snap, it's almost New Year's Eve, there's a cold snap every year before the New Year."

said with a slight sigh, the general did not choose the right time, fighting in such a cold weather is a disaster.

Mu Yangling said: "It is a disaster for us, and it is also a disaster for them, but for Xingchengguan, it may not be a disaster."

"Mr. Ying Qian, I am going to Xingcheng Pass, and I will leave it to you from my side. Without the warrant of the general of Xingcheng Pass, you are not allowed to leave the North City Gate. If Xingcheng Pass can no longer be guarded, you will **** the people in. Chushan, there is still a chance to enter Chushan."

President Yingqian and Song Zhi both changed their expressions.

Mu Yangling took out an unused seal from his arms, dipped it in ink pad and printed it on a piece of white paper, Ying Qian and Song Zhi shrank their eyes when they saw the words on it.

Mu Yangling handed the blank paper to President Ying Qian and Song Zhi, "This is an order."

Ying Qian could only accept it. If it was Qi Haoran's seal, he could still refuse it on the grounds of their little sons and daughters, but that was Qi Xiuyuan's.
