Among them, Fushi City and Gaonu City are the largest and wealthiest cities in the entire Shang County of Daqin at this time, with a population of more than [-].

 Once Fushi city and Gaonu city were captured by Yi Li, it would mean that the two most elite cities in Shangjun were lost.

 With the temperament of this Xinyiqu king, most of the people in the two cities will be slaughtered and enslaved, and the two cities will be completely defeated.

 This is absolutely unacceptable to Xu Feng. Compared with land, Xu Feng values ​​population more at this time.

 When Huang Zhong led the army to Shangjun, Xu Feng told Huang Zhong that if the battle was not good in Shangjun, he could abandon the land to protect the people.

 Now the most important thing in Daqin is land, but it is in urgent need of people!

 But it's a pity that Xu Feng's thinking is obviously simple. Sometimes people can be kept without abandoning the land.

 Just like Gaonu’s side at this time, it’s the middle of winter, the sky is freezing, and water is splashed outside at night to form ice. Under such circumstances, it is basically impossible for Gaonu’s people to move out.

 These people are not stupid, if they really migrate in this midwinter season, most of them will be frozen to death on the way.

 Adults can hold it, but children can't hold it!

 Therefore, the moment Huang Zhong arrived at Gaonu City, he knew that only by defending Gaonu City could the more than [-] people in Gaonu City be saved.

 On the other side of Fushi City, Huang Zhong had no choice but to defend Gaonu City.

 The city is alive, and the city is lost. This is Huang Zhong's determination the moment he entered Gaonu City.

 Originally, Huang Zhong guessed that he would have at least half a month, or even 20 days of preparation time on the side of Gaonu City, and then he would usher in the remaining army from the north to capture Fushi City and go south.

 Jia Xu also recognized this point.

 But unfortunately, none of them expected that the opponent they met this time was not an ordinary person, but a 'master' who didn't follow the routine.

 Yi Li was outside Fushi City, and after receiving the news that his own brother had killed Gaonu in battle, he couldn't contain his anger, and simply gave up attacking Fushi City, and went south to kill Gaonu City.

 On this point, even if Huang Zhong and Jia Xu were killed, they would not be able to guess.

 "Sir, can you help Han Sheng?"

 Ma Chao and Huang Zhong had a relatively close relationship, so he naturally didn't want to see Huang Zhong kill Gao Nu in battle, so he begged Jia Xu.

 Jia Xu couldn't help showing a wry smile, looked at Ma Chao, and said politely: "General, I'm not a fairy, I can make a soldier by throwing beans, but it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!

 Now everything can only be resigned to fate, and it depends on General Huang's performance in Gao Nu.

 And if the general really wants to help General Huang, the only way now is to rush to the Jiuyuan Great Wall to receive the troops there.

 Then lead the army south as soon as possible to help General Huang, maybe there is still time for everything. "

 Jia Xu still respects Ma Chao, knowing Ma Chao's bravery, after all, both of them were born in Xiliang, so they are very destined.

 "Since this is the case, Meng Qi will go to Jiuyuan non-stop day and night, and forgive Meng Qi for not being able to continue to follow Mr. Protection."

 Ma Chao made up his mind at this time, and prepared to rush to Jiuyuan in the shortest possible time. Time is life now.

 "General, you can leave with peace of mind. This Yiqu army has already gone south. We have no enemies in the north. I will not be in danger."

 Jia Xu also understood what Ma Chao was thinking, and responded with a smile.

 "it is good."

 Immediately, Ma Chao brought enough dry food from the guards, and then asked the guards to spare three fast horses. He set off alone with four horses, day and night, and went straight to the Great Wall of Jiuyuan.

 But Jia Xu, as a frail scholar, was very weak, but couldn't stand this kind of torment, so he was protected by the three hundred cavalry and rushed to the Jiuyuan Great Wall slowly.

 Moreover, the destinations of the two of them were originally different.

 Ma Chao is the new captain of Jiuyuan County and is in charge of the military, but he is going to the Great Wall of Jiuyuan.

 After all, the Great Qin's [-] Great Wall Army is now stationed along the Great Wall, and has been fighting the Huns in the north.

 As the new governor of Jiuyuan County, Jia Xu needs to rush to Jiuyuan City, the prefecture of Jiuyuan County, to take over the civil affairs there first. He is part-time advising Ma Chao.

 Fortunately, Jiuyuan City is not very far from the Great Wall, and it will be very convenient for the two to contact each other when the time comes.

 [Today's Chapter 3, please collect it! ! ! 】

 Two days later, Dang Ma Chao didn't know where he was going.

 Under the protection of [-] cavalry, Jia Xu also reached the boundary of Fushi City, and he could already see Fushi City in the distance.

 "Huh? My lord, what's going on? Why is my Daqin flag still hanging on Fushi City?"

 A chief guard accompanying him looked at Fushi City suspiciously at this moment, and said to Jia Xu in the carriage.

 The chief guard also heard the conversation between him and Ma Chao, and knew that Fushi City had probably been captured by Yi Qurong at this time.

 But now, he clearly saw a big "Qin" character hanging above Fushi City in the distance.

 He didn't believe that it was Yi Qurong in the city who had hung the wrong flag.

 "What? And this?"

 Jia Xu in the carriage was also shocked when he heard what the chief guard said, and poked his head out.

 Jia Xu looked in the direction of Fushi City, but unfortunately he couldn't see clearly at all, so he had to ask the chief guard, "Are you sure you read it right?"

 "Of course, my lord, I have had good eyesight since I was a child, and I am absolutely right."

 "Go, take a closer look."

 When they got close to Fushi City, Jia Xu also saw clearly the big flag with the word 'Qin' on it.

 "Really, Fushi City is still in our hands? Could it be..."

 For a moment, Jia Xu thought of a possibility, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

 "If that's the case, it's just God bless Daqin, God bless His Majesty.

 I didn't expect to meet such a stupid opponent this time. If so, perhaps Huang Zhong might not necessarily lose in Gaonu. "

 Oh oh oh!

 At this time, a horn sounded from Fushi City.

 When the soldiers at the top of the city saw Jia Xu's small group of troops outside the city, they thought it was the Yiqu cavalry who had come back again, so they blew their horns and gathered the troops.

 It is true that tens of thousands of Yiqurong troops surrounded them a few days ago, and the Daqin defenders in the city were already terrified, and they were a little frightened.

 "Misunderstanding, we are our own people. We protect the new Jiuyuan county magistrate. We pass by here and hope to report."

 The chief guard hurriedly shouted to the defenders of the Qin army on the top of the city, for fear of being attacked.

 Qin Bing on the head of Fushi City, after seeing the "Qin" flag hoisted by Jia Xu's convoy and seeing that there were no other soldiers and horses behind them, they believed their words.

 "You wait outside."

 A moment later, a middle-aged man in armor, accompanied by a civil servant, boarded the city wall and looked down at Jia Xu's convoy outside the city.

 These two people were the governor and lieutenant of Shangjun in Fushi City.

 "Let them in."

 The magistrate of Shangjun spoke and believed Jia Xu and the others.

 After all, it was too obvious that Jia Xu and the others could not be enemies.

 After Jia Xu entered Fushi City, he met with the Sheriff of Shangjun, and soon learned the details from them.

 Jia Xu learned that five days ago, the Yiqurong army, which had already surrounded Fushi City, built siege equipment and was about to attack the city, suddenly withdrew and went south.

 Up to now, the Shangjun guards are still very puzzled.

 "Haha, it's really as I thought, it's really laughable.

 Let me, Daqin, meet such an enemy, it is really God's blessing, Your Majesty's luck! "

 Jia Xu couldn't help laughing out loud.

 Fushi City was not lost, and it was not harmed by Yi Qurong, which was too important to Daqin.

 There are not only more than [-] people in this city, but also the fertile land in this area is the "land of fish and rice" in the north, which will contribute a lot of tax revenue to Daqin every year.

 Not only that, but more importantly, the importance of Fushi City's geographical location.

 Fushi City is the only way to connect Jiuyuan to Guanzhong, and because it is close to Jiuyuan County, it will be a granary behind Jiuyuan County.

 "Mr. Zhang, the Yi Qu Rong rebel army went south to attack Gao Nu, and now Gao Nu is in danger.

 The newly-appointed Jiuyuan County Captain has already gone north to Jiuyuan to transfer troops, and is preparing to go south to help Gaonu.

 I need your side to prepare food and grass for an army of at least [-] in advance, so that our army in the north can go south and shorten the time to support Gaonu. "

 Jia Xu looked at Zhang Tai, the prefect of Shangjun, and said.

 "No problem, give me five days, enough to prepare food for [-] troops for you."

 When Zhang Tai learned that the reason why Fu Shi City escaped this disaster was the work of Gao Nu's colleagues in the south, he was also very grateful.

 At the same time, he agreed to Jia Xu's request without hesitation.

 "Wang An."

 "The end is here."

 "You can send a cavalry to rush to the Great Wall of Jiuyuan, find General Ma, and tell him that there is no need to prepare food and grass in Jiuyuan.

 After he took over as Jiuyuan County lieutenant, let him immediately dispatch troops to the south to Fushi City.

 The official will ask Zhang Junshou to meet them here, and the food and grass for the army to go south will be prepared for them here. "

 Jia Xu found the accompanying chief guard and said to him.

 "No, I'll make arrangements now."

 "In this way, Ma Chao led the troops from Jiuyuan to the south, and then arrived at Gaonu, maybe the time can be compressed into one month.

 It took Yiqurong at least five or six days to go south from Fushi City to Gaonu, and it took at least three or four days to rest and prepare to attack the city.

 The real time left for them to attack the city is only 20 days.

 With General Huang's ability, he might be able to last for 20 days.

 Most importantly, the king of Xinyiqu that General Huang is facing this time is a reckless man, so he should be easy to deal with. "

 Jia Xu was thinking in his heart.

 He asked Fushi City to prepare food and grass, which directly shortened Ma Chao's time a lot.

 The time came to January [-]th in the fourth year of Qin II. After nearly a week of marching, the [-] Yiqu cavalry led by Yi Li finally arrived at Gaonu.

 Maybe God opened his eyes. When Yi Li led the army to Gaonu, it was snowing heavily on Gaonu's side.

 "The whole army attacked the city."

 As a result, Yi Li didn't care at all, and ordered to prepare to attack the city as soon as he arrived in Gaonu.

 "Your Majesty, no way!"

 "My lord, the soldiers have come all the way, their legs are frozen, it is not suitable to fight now!"

 "Yes, Your Majesty, think twice!"

 As soon as Yi Li gave this order, all the tribal generals under his command knelt down and begged.

 "His grandma's, a bunch of trash."

 Yi Li looked at the men kneeling down in the entire handsome tent, and roared angrily.

 In this way, no matter how urgent Wei Li was, she could no longer act arbitrarily, so she had to order a two-day rest.

 At the same time, Yi Li ordered to rebuild the siege equipment.

 However, it was freezing cold, and their soldiers were too cold to hide in tents, so how could they be willing to cut down trees to make siege equipment.

 As a result, the time dragged on for five days in a row. After the university stopped completely, the Yiqu army built some ladders and began to attack the city.

 "If it's snowing this heavy, it will be fine for a few more days."

 In Gaonu City, Huang Zhong looked at the white snow in and out of the city, his heart was not heavy, and he even smiled.

 Although, two days ago, Huang Zhong was surprised when he suddenly received the news that a 5 Yiqurong army was coming from the north.

 But it wasn't enough to make him flustered, compared to Ma Chao and Jia Xu's worries about Gao Nu.

 Huang Zhong himself still has some confidence in this battle.
