When Mu Yangling asked this question, five of the six people nodded, "Some of the people we know were also transferred, and they also said to go to Hanzhong Mansion for patrol."

No matter how long the border of Hanzhong Mansion was, Qi Xiuyuan would not be able to transfer so many people away. Xingzhou Mansion was the base camp of Xiying.

Mu Yangling thought of Qi Haoran who had been away for two months, thought of his obsession with regaining his homeland, and thought of Fan Zijin's notice before winter that he would pay dividends this year but there was no movement. She looked at Jingzhao Mansion on the map Sighing, she didn't expect Qi Xiuyuan to be so anxious, and she didn't know how sure he was.

But she looked at the panic-stricken soldiers and knew that the army's morale must be stable, so she cheered up and said calmly: "It's fine to ask people to guard the north city gate, but I don't know if I can hear the victory report from General Qi tomorrow morning."

Although Mr. Yingqian is not good at fighting, he is a good person. He heard the meaning of Mu Yangling's words, and hurriedly asked: "Miss Mu, is it the general who is using the army?"

Unless Qi Xiuyuan was using troops, if he was beaten to the pass, even if he successfully blocked him, it would not be considered a good news.

Mu Yangling didn't give him an accurate answer, but said vaguely: "Let the soldiers guard the city gate and wait for news from Xingcheng Pass."

The few people in the middle tent only thought that Mu Yangling was tacitly acquiescing, and they all got excited, and rushed out to organize people to march to the north gate.

Mr. Yingqian came over modestly and asked Mu Yangling to sit down with him, and said cleverly: "Ms. Mu, I have sent a small team to guard your house. You can just rest assured and follow us into the city. No one dares to come here." It's time to commit a crime."

Mu Yangling raised his eyebrows, got up and said, "Let's go."

Song Zhi was woken up in his deep sleep. When he heard that the Fifth Battalion was about to open the city gates, he was startled when he led troops into the city. He hurriedly got up, put on his clothes, and rushed out. He asked as he walked, "What happened?"

"My lord, the flames are burning in the direction of Xingcheng Pass. It seems like a fight with barbarians." The master is also in a cold sweat. He has a deep memory of the military disaster three years ago. His family only survived him and a seven-year-old child. At this time, his face was pale and he said: "I asked the yamen guards who guarded the city. An hour ago, there were messengers from the fifth battalion who went north through the small gate. They should have gone to inquire about the news. I went to Liangqi, and now they want to open the city gate, do you think they are going to reinforce Xingcheng Pass?"

Song Zhi's expression was also very ugly. He knew nothing about war, so he could only keep silent and ran out in a hurry.

To open the door, you have to ask for a warrant from Song Zhi or a senior general, but they don't have one, so they can only wait for Song Zhi.

Song Zhi checked the other party's identity, saw Mu Yangling standing in front, and immediately asked someone to open the door. As soon as the gate of the city was opened, Master Yingqian was running towards Mr. Yingqian. Song Zhi hesitated for a moment, but still glanced at Mu Yangling. Seeing that she stepped back half a step from Mr. Yingqian, he could only ask Mr. Yingqian, "...the situation How? Do you want to evacuate the people?"

Mr. Yingqian glanced at Mu Yangling, and said: "Don't disturb the people, the defense lines to the east and north of Mingshui County have been filled in, and they can only enter through the North City Gate, so we are here to take over the North City Gate , Sir, please gather all the yamen servants to help us defend the city."

At this moment, Mu Yangling looked up at Song Zhi, and whispered to Mr. Yingqian, "Give him half of the yamen servants, and let him manage the order in the city."

Mr. Yingqian hurriedly nodded in response.

Seeing that Ying Qian always listened to Mu Yangling, for some reason, Song Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, but the master breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Yingqian quickly led people to guard the north gate, and ordered people to move bows and arrows, trebuchets and stones to the top of the city. These may not be necessary, but they must be prepared. Mr. Yingqian wiped his forehead Khan on the top, pray that none of what they do is needed, and the defenders of Xingcheng Pass can keep people out of the city.

The master was heartbroken. When he heard that the Fifth Battalion was coming to defend the city, he was even more pleased. Who knew that he only found out when the people entered the city, and there were only more than three hundred people. He complained about the lack of people, and some soldiers told him He, all those who can go to the battlefield are here, and those who stay in the fifth battalion are remnants who have retired from the battlefield, or veterans who have been guarding the gate for forty or fifty years.

Song Zhi was also afraid, but he knew that now was not the time to show cowardice, so he could only follow Mu Yangling step by step, watching her arrange the defense, and someone even brought up a few bags of lime, Song Zhi asked in a daze: " How did the lime resist it? I know where there is sand."

He thought they were using it for shooting arrows, so Mu Yangling smiled, touched the bags of lime and said: "This is a good thing, whether it is poured in water or just sprinkled like this, although it is a bit shameless, But it works."

Song Zhixin calmed down a little, thought for a moment, and asked: "Isn't Hanzhong Mansion in our hands? Why did the barbarians cross Hanzhong Mansion and come to Xingcheng Pass in the middle of the night? Could it be that Hanzhong Mansion has fallen?"

"Except for the Eastern Front, no one will guard the Hanzhong Mansion."

Song Zhi's complexion changed, and his voice became sharper, "The general gave up Hanzhong Mansion? It's impossible, we took all kinds of hardships to get it back."

Mu Yangling glared at him, and said in a low voice, "Keep your voice down." He led Song Zhi into the room on the city wall.

The guards immediately unfolded the map, and Mu Yangling pointed to the long border between Hanzhong Mansion and Jingzhao Mansion and asked: "It's so long, how can we guard it? Don't say that General Qi only has tens of thousands of horses, it's hundreds of thousands, row by row They can't hold it even if they stand there. They can only hold the pass on the east line. As long as they hold this place, they can't go around our rear. This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Let's go, so as long as we guard Xingcheng Pass, nothing will happen."

"What about the people of Hanzhong Mansion? They have only experienced war, how can we let them be in the flames of war again?"

"Don't worry," Mu Yangling looked at the Jingzhao Mansion on the map, and said with sparkling eyes, "How could the elite soldiers who finally broke through the siege waste their strength on the unguarded Hanzhong Mansion? No harm."

"What kind of elite soldiers who broke through?" Song Zhi followed Mu Yangling's eyes to see Jingzhao Mansion on the map, his eyes lit up immediately, and he was about to scream excitedly, but Mu Yangling stared back coldly, so he had no choice but to hold back She was excited, but her voice was still slightly excited and she asked, "Miss Mu, what do you think I can do? What can I do for the general?"

The corners of Mu Yangling's mouth turned up slightly, and he patted Song Zhi's shoulder and said, "Sir, the most important thing for you at this time is to stabilize the people in the city, and to ventilate the adults in the nearby counties so that they can be stable. Hold on, don't let the general in the front win the battle, but there is chaos in the back. There are a lot of gangsters everywhere. I'm afraid they will take the opportunity to make trouble. In addition to the bad harvest this year, although there are not many refugees who come to us here, they must be gathered together. But there are many."

Song Zhi understood in an instant that he wanted to stabilize the people and ensure the law and order of the county. Song Zhi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Miss Mu. I'll call people up for a meeting. Mingshui County will never be chaotic. As for other County, I will also write to contact them, but do you want to disclose this matter to them?"

Mu Yangling smiled indifferently: "It's all fighting, what else needs to be kept secret? It's not before the war."

"Yes, yes, there is nothing to keep secret," Song Zhi excitedly went down the tower, and took his master back to call the meeting.
