Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

At the moment when Wu Xiuxiu dropped the words, Guo Ye looked at the back and suddenly felt sour in his heart. He didn't expect that Wu Xiuxiu, who has always been strong, would also give him a kind of sympathetic impulse to take him into his arms and cherish him for a while. .

It seems that a woman is always a woman, no matter how lonely and arrogant you are, no matter how strong you are, you are still a lovely person made of water in your bones.

However, Guo Ye has no time to pay attention to these men and women's affairs now, because there is still a sword hanging on his head, a sword that has already been opened and reveals a ferocious murderous aura-that is, it is possible to attack at any time. Those bandits and water bandits who entered the county.

Taking advantage of Wu Maocai's cessation of insanity and mania, Guo Ye explained to him why the county magistrate Gu Weiyong and others evacuated Longxi County in succession.

At the same time, it also detailed and authentically explained the situation that Longxi County will face at this time.

……

……

Wu Maocai finally suppressed his temper and courage to finish listening to Guo Ye's words. One can imagine the ugly expression on his face. He was walking unsteadily in the living room like a walking corpse, muttering in his mouth: "Hi, I What kind of wind is this? I can't live in Dongliu Township, which is a good place, but I'm jumping in the crater of Longxi County, I'm really confused!"

"Snapped!"

Wu Maocai suddenly raised his right hand and slapped himself, cursing: "Aren't I a bitch? I'm going to live here if I don't want to go here."

"It's over, it's over, I've sold out all the properties and belongings in Dongliu Township, and I can't go back. You bastard, I'm so worried."

……

Hearing Wu Maocai muttering to himself like a dick, at least it was a Weng son-in-law in name, Guo Ye felt a little sorry for it.

Immediately stepped forward to pull him back, and said in relief: "Actually, things are not as bad as imagined. The walls of Longxi County are high and thick. You can't break it if you want to. Don't be too panic. Didn't I just say that? The county magistrate My lord appointed me and the meritorious Cao Ma Yuanju to preside over the affairs of the county, don't worry, if Longxi County is like a chicken and a dog, can I stay and guard?"

Guo Ye's words were like a shot in the arm, like a reassurance pill, immediately made Wu Maocai calm down a little, his face calmed down a little, he turned his head to stare at Guo Ye's resolute and handsome cheek, and asked: " When, really?"

Guo Ye smiled and said: "It's natural, I'm not a fool, do you really think that if you let others fool me with a few nonsense words, I will be a dead ghost for others? It's long."

Listening to Guo Ye's sworn assurance, Wu Maocai's ever-changing face made autumn chrysanthemums bloom, and he asked as if he was seeking proof of something: "Xian, son-in-law, you just said that once you support it to Zhechong When the reinforcements from the Wei Mansion arrive, you will be done. Well, if you make a great contribution, you will be promoted to the ninth rank if you can't help it, but, is it true?"

Shit, Guo Ye has completely convinced this old ghost.

What is a dog that can't be changed to eat shit? Cheap father-in-law Wu Maocai is a typical example.

But he didn't lie to him, so he nodded without knowing whether or not.

Seeing Guo Ye nodding, Wu Maocai became more energetic, hugged Guo Ye's arm and said in a discussing tone: "My son-in-law, what the old man scolded just now was all angry words, don't take it to your heart. In fact, you The matter with Xiuxiu, the old man has always been in favor of it, don't worry, when you are done, the old man will let Xiuxiu consummate the house with you. After all, they are a young couple, how can they always live in two places, isn't it?"

I rely on!

This old thing has changed so fast that even Guo Ye can't get used to it.

But at this time, he is not really as he said just now, he is optimistic about the upcoming siege and looting of the city by bandits and water bandits. On the contrary, within these fifteen days, the entire Longxi County will be on the verge of being isolated.

The most urgent thing at the moment is to find a strategy for defending the city, not some bullshit consummating the house, not consummating the house, losing your head, and consummating your grandma's house?

After thinking about it, Guo Ye immediately waved Wu Maocai's arm away, and said righteously: "The bandits are still alive, why do you call yourself home?"

Then he waved his sleeves pretentiously, and walked out of the living room without taking away a trace of cloud.

Wu Maocai looked at Guo Ye's figure that was drifting away, and thought secretly in his heart, the fake son-in-law who recruited was really not in vain, just in case, in case this kid really became a ninth-rank official, tsk tsk, in the future It's really awesome.

After leaving the Wu Mansion, by coincidence, Guo Ye watched the new chief arrester Pang Feihu, the new soap squad leader Zhu Pengchun, and Cheng Erniu and others come hand in hand, probably looking for him.

The purpose of their coming is obvious, nothing more than to ask today's magistrate, county lieutenant, and several other assistant officials why they left the city one after another, as if they were hiding from a disaster.

Guo Ye greeted a few of them, motioned not to speak, and then told Cheng Erniu: "Erniu, you go to the prison and call the prison leader Shao Xiao to the mansion to discuss important matters."

Cheng Erniu didn't ask any more questions, and immediately turned around and ran out of Fushun Lane.

Then Guo Ye told Zhu Pengchun: "Old Zhu, go to the south of the city and bring me the rogue son Sun Mingyan, and tell me that my little brother has a big money-making business here, and ask him if he can do it."

Fatty Zhu sighed. Although he was a little puzzled, he didn't dare to ask why when he saw his brother's stern expression, and turned around and ran away.

The rest of Pang Feihu saw that Guo Ye had just issued two orders, and they both called people to discuss things. Obviously something happened.

Then he asked: "I've never seen you so nervous before, why, tell me, brother?"

"Ugh……"

Guo Ye sighed deeply, grabbed Pang Feihu's shoulders, and walked side by side towards his own Guo Mansion, sighing as he walked: "Brother, don't be nervous. Even you can smell something wrong in the atmosphere in Longxi County today. Come on, hehe, can things be small?"

Then the two walked to the yard. Guo Ye supported Pang Feihu's shoulders, pointed to the increasingly cloudy sky, and said in a solemn tone: "Look, there are dark clouds covering the city and the city is about to be destroyed. The boundary of Longxi is It's going to start to blow, and it's going to rain..."

Chapter 110 Discussing Countermeasures

After Guo Ye and Pang Feihu sat in the courtyard for a while, Cheng Erniu led the jailer Shao Xiao, Zhu Fatty and the son of Chengnan rogue Sun Mingyan arrived one after another and entered the mansion.

After a few people bumped heads and exchanged greetings, Guo Ye led them to the study room, conspiring and discussing the imminent matter.

Entering the study room, Guo Ye made a long story short and quickly told about the bandit's upcoming siege of Longxi City.

Sure enough, even though the few people present were all people who had seen the scene before, although they were not as frightened as Wu Maocai, they were still deeply shocked by the news, their faces darkened one by one, and their worry was fully revealed.

Except for Cheng Erniu who cursed "son of a bitch" in a low voice, no one in the room said a word, and their thoughts raced in silence, and the atmosphere in the whole study suddenly became tense and depressed.

Everyone murmured in their hearts that there were only two hundred yamen servants in the whole city. These yamen servants usually idle about and do not do their jobs. They are as ineffective as chickens and dogs.

Moreover, the difference in the number of the two sides is too great. Although the number of the siege bandits is unknown, it is conservatively estimated to be five hundred, or even more than six hundred.

How can an egg touch a stone, how can an arm twist to win a thigh?

Time flies, and the voices of sighs rise and fall, but no one speaks to break the slightly dull silence.

"Cough cough..."

Guo Ye deliberately coughed a few times, and said quietly: "Actually, if you say that Longxi City is not impossible to defend, can a living person be suffocated by urine?"

"How can you keep it?"

Seeing Guo Ye's speech, Cheng Erniu interjected unwillingly and shouted: "Let's not say that we are too far behind this group of bandits in terms of numbers, but that we, the county government officials, can't be counted on to catch them fast? Think about it, we don't practice day and night like the government army and border guards at all, so how can we get combat effectiveness?"

"Yes, yes." Fatty Zhu also took advantage of the situation to interject, and echoed, "Brother, these water bandits are inhumane, and they usually do business with knives licking blood, tsk tsk, they are all beasts who kill without blinking an eye Mile. Compared with them, our brothers are lambs in the sheepfold. Where are the opponents of these wolves and leopards?"

Regarding the words of Fatty Zhu and Cheng Erniu, those who were as steady as Pang Feihu, as timid as Shao Xiao, and as silent as Sun Mingyan all nodded their heads in agreement with them.

Guo Ye saw that although the atmosphere in the study was no longer depressing, it seemed somewhat demoralized.

Of course, he who has read the classics and history collections in later generations understands that it is a big taboo for military strategists to declare defeat before fighting. First of all, he has already lost a lot in terms of momentum, which is not a good phenomenon.

The few people closest to him are already like this, so one can imagine what kind of mentality the government servants under him will have at that time?

Guo Ye thought to himself, it seems that at this time, he can only rely on the personal charm and popularity accumulated by his little brother to give everyone confidence.

Immediately, Guo Ye said calmly to several people: "When have you ever seen me, Guo Ye, mess up? When did I let my brothers suffer? How could someone Guo talk about things that are not sure?" Woolen cloth?"
