After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 819 An Min
There was a lot of noise around, Qiu Hu took a step forward, only the He family and his son could hear his voice: "I'm afraid the enemy army is going to besiege the city, should I lead people to sneak out of the city through the west gate first, so that it's easier to respond inside and outside?"

He Lingchuan's first thought was a good suggestion!
Leaving a capable team outside can spy on the enemy's situation, but it can be highly mobile in response to internal and external cooperation.

But before he answered, He Chunhua waved his hand: "No, there is a way to get out."

"Dad..."

"Just trust me." He Chunhua asserted, "I will send someone to make some preparations."

He has always been considerate in his actions, and he doesn't just talk about it. If he says there is a way, then most likely he really has a way.So He Lingchuan made a gesture to Qiu Hu, telling him to be calm and calm.

Qiu Hu nodded and went to get busy.

He Chunhua looked at his back, and said to He Lingchuan: "The guards given to you by the Rongshan sect are very capable. I think he is a general."

Hearing the enemy's attack, how could ordinary soldiers respond so quickly?
Did the Rongshan sect assign such talents to the eldest son as a guard?
How much do you value him?
He Lingchuan chuckled.

Of course, this thought was only fleeting, and the war restrained all of He Chunhua's energy, and he began to calculate the balance of power inside and outside the city.

He brought a 100-man personal regiment, the newly assembled Heishui City Defense Army had 780 people, and the eldest son brought [-] Rongshan people, so the combat strength was about [-].

"Nine hundred, that's not enough." He pressed his temple, "When I left Heishui City the year before last, the city defense army clearly still had 200 people, why are there only [-] left now!"

Zhao Qinghe immediately said: "I asked. Last year, the governor of Hu County declared to reduce the military defense on the grounds of heavy expenditure. The royal court also approved it, so the city defense army was reduced to 500 people; later, the northwest front line was tight, and it was transferred from here. 700 people were recruited."

"Nonsense!" He Chunhua stroked his forehead, "This is a frontier fortress!" The surname Hu really deserved to die!

But He Lingchuan understood that Heishui City had been at peace for a long time, and every year there was a wild sand season, which was equivalent to no fighting for four or five months in a year, and the governor Hu was paralyzed.The Blackwater City Army was formed by the former county governor He Chunhua, and private hoarding was not allowed. It is a regular frontier army supported by the local government. The local finances are tight, and it is really miserable to support so many big-headed soldiers.

Originally, there was Yuanting subsidy for military expenditures, but in recent years, Yuan's domestic consumption has continued, and the money has long been unable to be paid.County Sheriff Hu did not have He Chunhua's ability to increase revenue, so he could only find ways to reduce expenditure, which seemed to be no big mistake.

After going back and forth, he was reduced to the current predicament.

These 900 people are barely enough to defend the city; but if you want to repel the Antonians, it is not enough.

After all, the quality of soldiers...

"900 people are indeed not enough, we can only recruit troops from the city." He Lingchuan touched his chin, "I have been back for a few days, and I always see strong men walking around the city, and there are many practitioners."

"Cultivator?" He Chunhua immediately understood, "He also came for the Panlong Desert."

"Isn't this a ready-made boost? It's useless."

He Chunhua thought for a while, and smiled rarely: "It's a good idea."

Then, he rushed to the entrance of the food market in Heishui City.

The accompanying soldiers beat gongs all the way to attract the city residents.

Facing the elders in the city, He Chunhua began to impromptu appeasement speech + conscription mobilization.

He only said three things:
First of all, Heishui City has high gates, deep walls, strong artillery, and it is difficult for foreign enemies to invade, otherwise there is no need to use tricks to open the gate;

Secondly, Anton was defeated by He Chunhua 20 years ago.He can beat the Antonians three times, he can beat them for the fourth time;

Finally, Heishui City has enough food and equipment, so the elders don't have to worry about it.We are recruiting strong and healthy men to protect our homes and guard the city, and the salary will be generous and generous!
The soul-hunting mirror asked He Lingchuan: "Is there enough food here?"

"Who knows?" According to He Lingchuan's understanding of the administrative capabilities of local officials in Yuan Country, this sentence is probably He Chunhua's nonsense. "Otherwise, what would he say? There is not enough food, the weapons have rusted early, and the armor is not fully distributed?"

But if there is one more truth, half of the people here will run away.

He Chunhua has been an official in Heishui City for more than ten years, and his administration is close to the people. Most of the city residents don't know the governor Hu, but they all trust He Chunhua.

Hu Junshou was killed and the city gate was besieged, internal and external troubles came together.Everyone was afraid of the wind and rain, and suddenly the former county guard came to the city, and the command was determined——

He Lingchuan stepped forward to help at the right time, raised his breath and shouted: "Master He defeated the Xunzhou rebels in the north. He is already the governor of Yanzhou. He was named Marquis of Wuwei and General Changning. He put down the rebellion in the south a month ago. Not worth mentioning! This city is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and only with the assistance of strong men can we retreat from the enemy and reopen the city gate as soon as possible!"

The last sentence was addressed to other forces lurking in Heishui City. Of course, the civilians did not understand, but hearing that He Chunhua had made great achievements in battle, and thinking that such a kind and strong man was in charge of the overall situation, he felt relieved at once.

The enlistment of Heishui City went smoothly, and more than [-] people were recruited in two hours.

New recruits have a short time to learn and practice killing the enemy.

He Chunhua took time out of his busy schedule to ask Zhao Qinghe, "Are there practitioners who volunteered to join?"

Zhao Qinghe shook his head.

Oh, as expected.He Chunhua smiled coldly: "Then invite them to join voluntarily."

He Lingchuan said from the side: "No rush."

"Not urgent?"

"They don't want to end yet, Dad, if you force them, it may backfire."

Don't push people over to the Antonians.

Before he knew it, He Chunhua asked the eldest son very smoothly: "Then when will we wait?"

"Wait until they feel that we have a chance of winning." He Lingchuan smiled, "It's best to wait until they get impatient...I see, soon."

He Chunhua nodded slowly.

He Lingchuan saw deep thinking in his eyes.

I don't know whether he is thinking about He Lingchuan's words or He Lingchuan himself.

When He Lingchuan returned to his residence to rest for a while, the mirror asked him again:

"Could the current situation be part of your plan?"

Although He Lingchuan didn't discover these contents when he was planning.But the owner often has deep meaning in doing things, and it always finds out when things happen.

"Nonsense." He Lingchuan washed his face, lay on his back on the bed and closed his eyes to rest, "The sudden attack by the Anton people was an accident, and I didn't ask them to come here."

Don't imagine that the plan can be fully implemented and the development of the situation can be controlled.After experiencing the Battle of Ruins Mountain, he understood:

Accidents are the norm in life.

"Is it really an accident?" Mirror still doubted.

"It's not surprising that the people of Anton attacked Heishui City." He Lingchuan said, "As my father said, a weak country has strong neighbors, which is dangerous. What's more, when the mad sand season disappears and Heishui City loses a natural danger, foreign enemies will not be afraid to attack." It's been a protracted battle. But at this time, they got stuck really well, completely disrupting my original plan."
