Wang Buxi, who was far away in Fuming Town, was almost going crazy with anxiety. He asked three times a day: "Have the reinforcements arrived?"

"Where's the food?! Where's the food that the emperor promised to give us in Yunzhou?!"

"Did the messenger sent to Kyoto deliver the message?!"

The officials in the Fuming Town County Government had blisters on their mouths, untidy beards, and dark circles under their eyes.

"Lord Wang, no! No reinforcements, no food, no news!"

"Why is there nothing?! Lord Wang, we can't wait any longer. We need to collect grain from the entire state!" Yan Tongchu walked in with a red face.

Wang Buxi was so anxious that he said in a bad tone, "You have a high fever. Didn't the doctor tell you to rest well? Why are you here again?"

Yan Tongchu's voice was a little hoarse: "How can I sit still in this situation?"

Wow!

Alechuan was wearing armor and had a look that looked like he was ready to kill at any time: "Lord Wang, the general only brought ten days' worth of food! If we don't send them food, even without the Tartars attacking, hundreds of thousands of troops will be in chaos!"

How could Wang Buxi not know the seriousness of the matter? !

asshole!

There is a high probability that they will be cheated by the emperor again!

But the people of Yunzhou don’t have much stored grain, and there are only a few people in the entire town. Even if all the grain from every household was collected, it would only be enough for the army to eat for three to five days!

The people have no food, what do they eat and drink?

Wang Buxi's eyes were bloodshot, and the emotions of anger and anxiety intertwined together, almost swallowing up the whole person!

Just then, there was a sudden commotion outside the county government office.

"The eldest lady is back!"

"She also brought a lot of food!"

Wang Buxi, Yan Tongchu, Alechuan and others ran out of the door. What came into their sight was Su Yunyan, who was exhausted from traveling, sitting in the bed of a tricycle, with a convoy of cars stretching as far as the eye could see behind them.

Some were tricycles, some were ox carts, and some were even donkey carts, but the carts were loaded with bags of food and fodder!

"Miss, why are you here?" Alechuan ran towards Su Yunyan happily, but then his heart was in his throat.

Why did the young lady go to Fuming Town instead of staying in Kyoto? Fuming Town is so dangerous!

Because of the long journey, Su Yunyan's hair was a little messy, her complexion was not very good, and her lips were dry and chapped.

She said with some fatigue: "I set out as soon as I received the news. I should have arrived earlier, but I thought that with the efficiency of the court, it would definitely take a long time to raise food and fodder."

"So I went around to Xiangzhou and Hezhong to collect food and grass, which took some time."

Wang Buxi looked at the full bag of food and was overjoyed: "Miss, you are really capable!"

Su Yunyan shook her head, not daring to take credit for it. "I didn't raise the money by myself. My ninth brother Song Zhizhou from Xiangzhou, Li Mingde and other fellow apprentices from Hezhong Prefecture, and Shopkeeper Xia who went to Hezhong Prefecture to help raise food, all the food they raised was given to me, asking me to transport it back together!"

Wang Buxi knew Manager Xia.

Among the food and fodder taken away for the general, part of it was raised by the merchants in Huaishuo Town.

The war on the front line was urgent. Wang Buxi, Yan Tongchu and others did not exchange pleasantries with Su Yunyan and directly took over the batch of food and fodder.

The food and fodder Su Yunyan brought was enough to sustain an army of 300,000 for about five days.

"Alechuan, you take the people to the front line first."

Alechuan hesitated: "But the general gave me the order to protect Yunzhou before the reinforcements from the Great Zhou arrive in Yunzhou!"

Wang Buxi said: "When a general is away from home, he may not obey military orders. If the reinforcements don't arrive, will you not send food to the general? According to our plan, the reinforcements should have arrived in Yunzhou the day before yesterday. They are already two days late! Do you still want to wait any longer?"

Alechuan naturally knew the importance of food and fodder, but he was really worried: "Who will be entrusted with Yunzhou?"

Where are the soldiers in this town?!

Wang Buxi wiped his face and said, "Before the general came to Yunzhou, didn't Lord Yan and I guard the border for many years? We have the protection of the city wall, and we are well prepared to wait for the enemy to tire. How can we let a few thousand sneak attack troops break through our city wall?"

Alechuan: "What if the enemy spreads rumors that the general has abandoned Yunzhou and fled?"

When people go to war, it is easy for them to lose their rationality and be carried away by the surrounding public opinion.

In peacetime, naturally no one would believe such rumors.

But if we are in a desperate situation, the general is not here, and all the generals of Yunzhou are not here, who can be the spiritual pillar for all the people of Yunzhou?

"And me! I am A Niang's daughter. Most people in Yunzhou have either heard of me or seen me! As long as I am in Yunzhou, no one will believe that A Niang would abandon Yunzhou and run away!"

Su Yunyan stood up and said, "I feel obliged to do so."

Alechuan rejected it reflexively: "No! Yunzhou is too dangerous, Miss, you have to go back to Kyoto!"

Su Yunyan pursed her lips, her jaw tensed into a straight line, and said firmly: "Alechuan, if you leave 500 soldiers behind, I am willing to set up an army and swear to defend Yunzhou to the death!"

Alechuan's worried gaze met Su Yunyan's stubborn eyes, and his heart paused. He knew that Su Yunyan had made up her mind!

Wang Buxi urged: "Alechuan, don't waste time, the general is still waiting for you!"

Alechuan looked at Su Yunyan deeply, kept the 500 strongest soldiers under his command, and then without looking back, he took the other soldiers to transport food and grass out of the city!

Su Yunyan didn't know much about military affairs, so she handed all the 500 soldiers to Wang Buxi and Yan Tongchu: "My two lords, Yunzhou is in your hands! I will stay in the governor's mansion and won't go anywhere! As long as Yunzhou is here, I will be here! If Yunzhou is gone, I will forget it!"

Su Yunyan said this with determination. She gritted her teeth and swore that she would protect her mother's retreat and Yunzhou!

She couldn't let her mother fall into the desperate situation of being attacked from all sides!

She couldn't let hundreds of thousands of Yunzhou troops have no way to retreat and be buried in the grassland!

Wang Buxi did not hesitate and immediately gave five hundred soldiers an order for defense.

Guo Xiaoyue is on the other side of Yuyi Town and Rouxuan Town, so they don’t need to worry about it.

The center of the war is still in the three towns of Fuming, Huaishuo, and Woye.

Especially Fuming Town, which is of great political and political significance. Once it is broken, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the entire Yunzhou!

To be on the safe side, Wang Buxi also had people make a lot of scarecrows, put armor on them, and stand them on the wall to confuse possible enemies who might launch a surprise attack.

At the same time, Wen Yu also publicized the fact that Su Yunyan had come to Yunzhou in "Yunzhou Weekly"!

During the preparation period, "Yunzhou Weekly" was sent to every street free of charge, without any charge.

When the people of Yunzhou learned that Su Yunyan had also come to Yunzhou, they felt much more at ease.

Just after Alechuan transported grain and grass out of the city, Wanyan Wushu took 30,000 cavalry and took a detour from another direction, approaching the seven towns of Yunzhou.

"How far is it from Yunzhou?"

"It's less than a day's journey!"
