The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 348 Stability

Mu Yangling just sat on the city tower all night, with her in charge, fortunately the barracks did not become chaotic, and Song Zhi sent all the yamen servants to the street, because Mu Yangling said, "It is better to let go of the news Let them know what they know, 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 For the cause, he hopes that everyone will donate money and materials to the frontline soldiers.

If Song Zhi was simply beating on the street with gongs and drums, everyone would definitely have doubts about whether the big family should run for their lives or would they run for their lives, but when he asked for donations, those gentry who were about to retire immediately stopped leaving.

They all asked for donations, so it must be true. Since it was not the barbarians who beat them, but they beat barbarians, then why did they run away?

With the example of Qi Xiuyuan regaining the Hanzhong Mansion, the gentry donated money with confidence, not much, but it was a signal.

The people saw that the gentry had all donated, and they had connections. If they all donated, it must be true, so they also contributed money and goods. Those who had money put dozens of cash into the donation box, but those who had no money Song Zhi sent the old cotton-padded jacket at home in one roll, and Song Zhi would not refuse anyone who came, and asked people to remember their names, saying that they might be able to write them down when the county chronicles were compiled in the future.

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

The county magistrate of Lin County looked at the squires who had started to pack up their things and planned to flee south, and immediately moved here. Seeing that the squires were still half-believing, the county magistrate hurriedly shouted: "Our county is not worse than Mingshui County, so we must not If you lose to them, let people go to the village to beat the gongs and drums, and let everyone donate a lot, and the one who donated 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 glory after all. It is a great temptation to contribute to the recovery of the homeland.

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

As soon as this remark came out, the squire who had already cleaned up half of the house immediately stopped leaving, and called his family together to discuss how much money he would donate.

The county magistrate of Lin County heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, and the idea spread quickly, because two counties had settled down, and the gentry in other counties stopped making noise and left, and began to think about donating money Regarding the donation, all the servants in the yamen were sent to the street to maintain order. There was a lot of fighting in the front, but there was no chaos in the rear.

The movement in the direction of Xingcheng Pass has not stopped. By dawn, the messengers had run back and forth three times, and brought back the latest news. Qi Xiuyuan was not at Xingcheng Pass at all. It should be said that all the generals were not at the pass. Mu Shi was at the gate, and he only brought 2,000 men, 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 Mansion.

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

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

Mu Yangling already knew Song Zhi's method of donating money. At that time, she praised Song Zhi's wit in her heart, but now she is not in the mood, because the latest news brought back by the messenger said that the loss of Xiying It was huge, and Jin Bing's offensive became more and more fierce.

Obviously, Jin Bing wanted to force Mu Shi to send troops out to ask for help, so as to relieve the crisis in Jingzhao Mansion.

Since Qi Xiuyuan put all his eggs in one basket and only kept 2,000 people in Xingcheng Pass, and emptied the West Camp stationed in the rear, he was determined to attack Jingzhao Mansion with the determination to win. Regardless of whether he was willing to come back, his father would not take it easy. Send a distress signal.

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

Mu Yangling walked around the room twice with a solemn expression. Mr. Ying Qian gritted his teeth and asked for orders: "Miss Mu, please ask Biaoxia to bring someone to support."

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

Most of the people left behind are soldiers who were recruited only this year. They have only received half a year of training. How can they go to the battlefield?

Going there is nothing but cannon fodder.

The 2,000 elite soldiers at Xingcheng Pass were honed by the battlefield, even though the 5,000 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 soldiers' offensive was too fierce, so they simply divided into five teams and took turns. Mu Qianhu and the others have been guarding since yesterday, and there are only 1,700 people left. There are more than a hundred people, although the general left a lot of supplies, but there are too few people..."

Thinking of the miserable situation he saw on the tower, the summoner wiped away his tears and said, "The people following Mu Qianhu said that they did not expect so many Jin soldiers to come out. General Qi estimated that they could break through 3,000 people, which is not bad. It's..."

"How about the walls?"

"It was repaired last year and it is very strong."

Mu Yangling said with a sullen face: "Go, hurry up and tell Mu Qianhu, as long as he can watch until Xushi."

"Miss Mu, the golden soldiers don't rest at night, and they will take turns to attack."

Mu Yangling's face looked a little gloomy under the sunlight, "No, it's already been one night, as long as we keep the daylight, they will definitely have to cheer up during dinner, and give the soldiers time to rest. It is safe at this time of Haishi."

Mu Yangling turned to Song Zhi, "Master Song, don't you think today is colder than yesterday?"

Song Zhi was taken aback for a moment, wondering why Mu Yangling suddenly mentioned the weather, but he still said: "This is a cold snap, it's almost the Chinese New Year, and there is a cold snap every year before the Chinese New Year."

As he spoke, he sighed slightly, the general didn't choose a good time, and fighting in such cold weather would be a disaster.

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

"Mr. Yingqian, I'm going to Xingcheng Pass. I'll leave my home to you. Without a warrant from the guard of Xingcheng Pass, you are not allowed to leave the North City Gate. If Xingcheng Pass cannot be guarded, the people will be escorted in." Kitchen Mountain, at least there is still a glimmer of hope in entering Kitchen Mountain."

Both Ying Qian and Song Zhi's expressions changed.

However, Mu Yangling took out a seal that had never been used from his bosom, stained it with ink pad and printed it on a piece of white paper. Mr. Ying Qian and Song Zhi shrank their eyes when they saw the words on it.

Mu Yangling handed the blank paper to Mr. Yingqian and Song Zhi, "This is an order."

Mr. Ying Qian could only accept it, if it was Qi Haoran's seal, he could still refuse it on the grounds of their children's friendship, but it was Qi Xiuyuan's.
