"The members of the Kong clan surrendered to the enemy and poisoned the drinking water of the Yongzhou army?"

In the afternoon, she was a little drowsy, but when she heard the news from Zhang Zifang, Jiang Shu woke up immediately.

"General Bu just sent me a letter, and as soon as he heard the news, the subordinate officer rushed over to inform the lord."

Zhang Zifang stood in the middle of the hall and said with a rare serious expression: "According to what Mr. Yin said, even the Prince of the Huns didn't know about the fact that the Kong family had treasonously colluded with the Xiongnu. The state is obviously not as strict as the previous few days, and Mr. Yin made inquiries from various aspects to piece together the cause and effect of this incident. He expressed regret that it was too late to prevent the occurrence of the poisoning incident."

Jiang Shu nodded slowly, and then asked: "How much Yongzhou's troops were lost in the poisoning incident?"

"The specific data is still unclear, but based on the situation Mr. Yin described, Bu Jingyun speculates that the remaining [-] defenders in Shannan County may now have less than a quarter of their combat power."

Jiang Shu frowned deeply, and suddenly remembered that when he talked to Xie Min about the Xiongnu attacking Shannan County, he always felt that he had overlooked some details. Now that he thinks about it, it is here.

The Kong family in Shannan, Shannan County... People can do anything when they are pushed, but no matter how anyone thinks at that time, it is impossible to predict that the Kong clan will commit acts of treason. Catastrophe is doomed to be inevitable.

"We need to inform Captain Xun of this matter as soon as possible." He made a decision.

Although Xun Ling's army is far away from Yongzhou, even knowing the situation in Shannan County will not help, but this matter is related to his father's safety, so he must be notified as soon as possible so that he can be mentally prepared.

Zhang Zifang nodded without stopping.

The situation was urgent, and there was no time to sit down and study ink to write a letter. Jiang Shu called Buqu Ah Meng directly, and said: "Pass my message to Captain Xun, and say, 'Kong surrendered to the enemy and poisoned the Yongzhou army. Dangerous'. This matter is urgent and must be conveyed as soon as possible."

Affected by the host's emotions, Ah Meng solemnly clasped his fists in response to "No", then turned around and walked out quickly.

After Buqu left, Jiang Shu ordered all the important officials of the whole government, including Zhu Cao, to come to the main hall. Throw a blockbuster first: "I want to lead the troops to Yongzhou myself."

After the words fell, all the people present were shocked, and Qin Shang and others frowned deeply. Looking at their expressions, if they were not present, they might have already blurted out "My lord must not", "I beg your lord to be careful." Think about it" and other words of advice.

Jiang Shu was not surprised by their reaction. After all, from his own point of view, the prefect of a county is going to lead the army, which sounds a bit rash.

But this is indeed not an impulsive decision he made, but the best countermeasure he found after careful consideration.

It is true that Shannan County has nothing to do with Xing County, even if he does not rescue him, it will be fine.

But firstly, it was Governor Xun who was in crisis. Thinking about his acquaintance with Xun Ling, he couldn't bear to watch this veteran be besieged with cold eyes. Second, in the long run, once Shannan County was captured, the backbone of the Yongzhou Army With Xun Zhou's death, it will not be far from the entire Yongzhou falling into the territory of the Huns. This will be a great threat to Xunzhou and Yizhou, which are adjacent to Yongzhou.

So Shannan County must be saved.

After judging this point, the next thing to ponder is the question of where to recruit troops.

At present, the Xunzhou army is attacking the city in the north, and it will not come back within ten days and half a month, so it will not be considered for the time being.

As for the local county soldiers in Xingjun, they can gather thousands of soldiers when the soldiers are constantly recruiting and training, but this number is far from enough to support Yongzhou.

Since the soldiers in Xunzhou are not good enough, they can only borrow troops from other places.

In order to prevent the Huns from attacking, Xun Cishi deployed most of the Yongzhou army in Yijun, making the defense of Yijun as strong as copper and iron, while he himself only left [-] defenders by his side.

Originally, 1000 troops were enough to defend a city, but that was when there were no other accidents. Now that they were trapped by the Kong family, most of the defenders were lost, and [-] men fought against the attack of [-] troops. Reincarnation, I am afraid it will be difficult to keep it.

Now that Governor Xun is besieged in Nanzhe City, he should not be able to ask for help in the future, and even if he can send a message, given the poor geographical location of Yongzhou, surrounded by wars on three sides, it is estimated that he will not be able to find a suitable call for help for a while. Candidates.

Jiang Shu looked at the map and found that the only place that could send troops to support at this time was Yizhou.

However, Liu Lang, the governor of Yizhou, Jiang Shu’s original setting for him is a typical "lone ranger" character design. He seems to have a good relationship with the neighbors around him, but in fact he just has no enemies, and it is definitely not a friendly relationship.

Before Xunzhou was attacked by the Huns, almost the whole prefecture fell, and Yongzhou sent troops to rescue twice in succession. However, Yizhou, which is the closest to Xunzhou, has always had the attitude of "nothing to do with yourself, and hang on high". Several carts of food and grass were sent as aid.

It was also lucky that Yizhou was still very peaceful even though the surrounding neighbors were being involved in the war one after another. It has to be said that its geographical location is simply excellent.

Having said that, with Liu Lang's style of "being wise and safe, but seeking no faults", even if he receives a letter of help from Yongzhou, there is a high probability that he will ignore it.

Jiang Shu thought to himself, maybe only his "nephew" borrowed troops from his uncle with the benefits, so that the other party would be able to borrow thousands of soldiers for the sake of his "relatives".

Borrowing from Yizhou and borrowing troops to assist Shannan County by the way, this is the fastest way he can think of to support Yongzhou.

Jiang Shu told the reason to everyone, and then the officials in the hall understood why the Fujun had to lead the troops to go out in person.

After pondering for a moment, Xie Yin calmly said: "Think about it, from Xing County to Shannan County, it will take at least half a month on a fast horse, and you will have to detour to Zhu Ning to borrow troops on the way. When you arrive in Shannan County, Nanzhe may have already fallen. how?"

"If Nanzhe falls, find a way to take it back, even if it's too late, you have to save it." Jiang Shu said in a strong tone.

There was one more thing he didn't say.

To put it bluntly, even if he only had time to collect the corpse of General Xun in the end, his trip was not in vain.

The flames of war are ruthless, and many heroes can only end up with their heads in different places after death. Thinking about the bones of his elder brother Jiang Che, isn't it impossible to find it?

Hearing this, Xie Min stared at him and said: "Since the lord is fully prepared, I will fully support you. You can just do it, and there is no need to worry about the future."

Seeing that the magistrate had agreed, the others couldn't think of a better way after much deliberation, so they expressed their support one after another.

Seeing that everyone expressed their approval, Jiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The situation is critical. I will set off tomorrow morning. Before I come back, all the affairs of the county government will be handed over to you."

With that said, he stood up, raised his sleeves and put his hands together to ask everyone.

Seeing this, all the officials got up with flicks of their clothes, bowed their hands and accepted the order: "I will definitely live up to my lord's trust."

Afterwards, Jiang Shu left the person in charge of the relevant Cao office and ordered them to prepare the dry food and horses needed to go to Yongzhou and the "good gift" to the governor of Yizhou, and asked the soldier Cao Shi to summon five hundred soldiers to protect himself tomorrow morning hit the road.

The officials who received the task were busy carrying out their work, the main hall gradually emptied out, and finally only Xie Min was left sitting in the seat on the left, silently drinking a cup of cold tea.

Jiang Shu sighed softly, walked to his side, and smiled helplessly: "After I leave, all the big and small affairs in the mansion will fall on Brother Xie."

Xie Min put down his teacup and said two words: "Don't worry."

"That's right, brother Xie, I've always been at ease." Jiang Shu squatted on the mat on his right side in a relaxed posture, supported his chin with one hand and looked at him, "I just want to work hard for you , if things go well, I will bring you a gift when I come back."

Xie Yin remained silent, the slightly dim light in the afternoon made his expression deep and stern.

The two were silent for a long time, then he suddenly turned his head and said in a low voice, "Be careful."

Jiang Shu felt real worry from his tone, so she sat upright, restrained her smile, and nodded solemnly in response.

·

The next morning, the sky cleared up.

After the morning sun rose, the abundant and transparent sunlight spread on the earth, reflecting Jiang Shu's black hair brilliantly.

In order to save time, Jiang Shu did not plan to take a carriage for this trip, but, like other soldiers, would ride fast horses to Yizhou throughout the journey.

Knowing this decision, the officials in the mansion and even Zhitao, Ziming and others were worried for a while, lest the manor would be exhausted and collapsed on the way.

Jiang Shu himself is not worried about this. In the past few months, he would often go to the racecourse with Xie Min to race horses, so riding skills are not a problem. As for physical strength, it is really not enough. Can't you swallow pills like players!

In order to show that her body is young enough to resist, Jiang Shu specially wore a vermilion slim-fitting riding outfit today, and rode a gorgeous and handsome bay red horse. The dress is completely different from the past, making the young man extraordinarily energetic. Seeing this scene , Qin Shang and others finally swallowed their hearts back into their stomachs.

It was still early, and most of the players were not online yet, so Jiang Shu could still say goodbye to the officials who were seeing him off at the gate of the city.

In the end it was the prefect who went out, and the officials reluctantly said goodbye to him as if they were about to say goodbye to their relatives whom they lived with day and night.

But no matter how much he wants to say, there will always be time to finish. Before leaving, Jiang Shu glanced at the familiar faces of everyone, nodded to them, and finally turned his eyes to Xie Min who was in the center of the crowd.

It was really hard for him to ignore Xie Min's existence, even though the other party didn't say or do anything, just stood silently on the carriage, staring at him without looking aside.

Because he was wearing snow-white clothes, the other person exuded a cold and clean radiance in the sun, so holy that he seemed to be floating away in the next second.

Jiang Shu imagined the scene of Xie Yin flying away, and couldn't help laughing. Suddenly, he remembered that the other party once stood on the carriage to see him off like this, as if the other party would always stand behind him and support him unconditionally.

This sudden thought made him feel at ease.

Looking at Xie Min's bright and dazzling figure in the midst of the sun, Jiang Shuyang showed a smile on his lips, and said "Thank you" to the other party, and immediately grasped the reins, turned the horse's head, and let five hundred soldiers and fifty soldiers Part [-] protected him in the center and galloped away along the flat official road.
