Pingzhou, Liaoxi County, Governor's Mansion

Important civil servants and generals in Pingzhou gathered at the governor's office and were actively preparing for war.

Facing a strong enemy, everyone is very serious.

Lu Desheng asked, "How are the constructions of various border defense cities going?" "

Xue Xu said, "Everything has been increased and reinforced!"

"Then let's arrange your tasks." Lu Desheng looked at Sima Le Guicai first, "Le Sima, the war is about to begin. I think that as the highest-ranking general in Pingzhou, you should be in charge of the rear. , coordinate the overall situation.”

"The last general takes orders."

"After everyone's collective efforts and brainstorming, we speculate that the Xianbei army will definitely attack Longcheng of Liaoxi County and Houcheng of Liaodong County. We need to focus on defending these two places. Le Sima, who do you plan to send to guard these two places?"

Le Guicai responded in a deep voice, "Master Lu, in accordance with the advice of the last general, Zhou Da and Qin Heng will lead an army to garrison Longcheng, while Ma Jin and Qin Yan will be in charge of Hou City——"

After two years of getting along, Le Gui felt that the Qin brothers deserved to come from a family of famous generals, and that their military qualities and combat capabilities were extremely outstanding.

"But, as for Xuantu County, let's leave it to Le Lin and Qin Zhao."

Lu Desheng reciprocated the favor and promoted Le Guicai's nephew.

"And Lelang County..." Lelang County is mainly to guard against the three Korean natives, and only needs to arrange two local young generals.

Don't avoid relatives when promoting talents. In the three counties of Pingzhou, the key positions of Lu Desheng were given to the Qin brothers. This battle was crucial and there was no room for failure.

The Jintai Army led by Qin Sheng has its own mission.

Everyone has no opinion on this.Their roots are in Pingzhou, and the Lu family's relatives are all in Pingzhou. Everyone hopes to win this battle.

"In addition to Houcheng and Longcheng, other places must also remain vigilant. Once the Xianbei army is discovered, beacon smoke will be lit as a warning."

Seeing that the atmosphere was quite relaxed, Lu Desheng couldn't help but say, "You should first explore each other's background at the beginning, and others will use their big tricks as soon as they come up. It's too cruel." They said. If you still want to pass the blame, what if you don't give the other party a chance?

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, we can save it."

After discussing the matter, Lu Desheng asked everyone to disperse and everyone went about their own business.

……

"The imperial envoy sent by the emperor has arrived? Who is here?" Lu Desheng asked his daughter.

"Yes, the visitors are Zuo Anmin's nephew Zuo Yi, and a Cangbe Cao Yu. It is said that their group has entered the territory of Liaoxi County."

Lu Desheng curled his lips. The emperor made it clear that he didn't believe him. "It came quite quickly."

"It's good to have a witness as a witness, so you don't have to worry about it later." It might bring unexpected surprises, Lu Songli smiled a little meaningfully.

"Zuo Anmin's nephew, do you think he will cry if he gets slapped in the back?"

Lu Songli said to her heart, no matter he or whoever came, they would have to cry when faced with such a situation, right?

"Have everything been arranged? There won't be any mistakes, right?"

"Dad, don't worry." She left this matter to Qin Zhao.

When Qin Zhao was in the northern border, he had served as a logistics quartermaster and was very familiar with grain and grass.It's okay to fake things so that people can't see it.

Cangbu Cao, Xu Junfan, and his deputies had just arrived in Changli. They only had a meal and took a short rest before being invited by Lu Desheng to see the grain.

"Xu Caopu, this is the grain tax that I, Pingzhou, have to pay. The total is about 120 million shi of grain." Xue Xu's voice was proud.

For this tax collection, they counted the population and acres of land. Currently, they have Pingzhou. After nearly two years of unremitting efforts, the population of the four counties of Pingzhou is about 62 households, with a population of about 320 million. The average land area per capita is eight acres, with eight acres of land per capita. Some of the land is reclaimed wasteland, so no tax is required for the time being.

Xu Junfan took a breath of cold air. Is this a state tax?So many.This is the state that pays the most food taxes he has ever seen.

"You can check it out."

Xu Junfan was not polite and took his predecessors through the inspection period. They found that the grains handed in by Pingzhou should have been screened, and the grains were full, and there was no problem at all.

After the inspection, Xu Junfan asked for the keys to these warehouses and arranged for someone to guard the door.

Xue Xu agreed and let him do whatever he wanted.

Later, the government held a banquet for them to receive the wind and cleanse the dust. Lu Wei accompanied them, and Lu Desheng showed his face.

The Pingzhou government urged them to set off. Xu Junfan and Zuo Lin were also worried about the long nights and dreams, so they set off the next day.Early in the morning, someone from Pingzhou helped them load the truck. Before setting off, he checked vigilantly, but found nothing.

As soon as their grain transport team set off, Xianbei received news in a hurry.

……

Suddenly, smoke erupted in the north.

Not long after, Chang'an received an urgent military report from [-] miles away.

The Wuhuan army raided the northern border, and General Yan Zheng died. Now General Fu and his men retreated to Baihe Town, requesting the imperial court to send troops for support.

Song Mo couldn't believe it. What happened to Yan Zheng, Fu Jiangong and others?Didn't they defeat Wuhuan last year?Now in just one round, the northern border has been broken?Jinyang was lost and fell into the hands of Wuhuan.

Is Yan Zhengfu Jiangong a drunkard?The Qin family has guarded the northern border for many years and has never let foreigners step outside the border.

Before Song Mo could calm down, he received news one after another that Yanmen Youzhou Youbeiping County in Bingzhou and Liaoxi Liaodong County Pingzhou were attacked by Xianbei, and Yanmen and Youbeiping County had been lost.

Xianbei is fighting on four fronts!How dare Xianbei? !

If Wuhuan in the north is added, it will be a five-front battle.

Five armies invade Dali!

The war was expected, but it started in an unexpected way, on an unprecedented scale.

Messages requesting assistance were sent from four places one after another.

Thinking back to what Xiao Qun mentioned a few days ago, there were also strange movements in the Southern Barbarians.

Song Mo felt cold all over. At this time, he no longer cared about Pingzhou's tax and food.

He really felt that the Xianbei, Wuhuan and other foreign tribes were coming fiercely, and it was no longer the small fight in the past.
