Let's go to Pei County together...
…………
At the same time, in the meeting hall of the county government in Pei County.
"Report!"
A bandit spies trotted into the meeting hall and reported to Liu Ji: "Report, something is wrong, Qin... Qin's army is here!"
"what?"
Immediately, everyone in the meeting hall was shocked when they heard the words, and immediately stood up.
Xiao He's heart skipped a beat, he knew that the deadline had finally come!
Liu Ji was surprised: "Where did the Qin army go, and how many troops are there?"
The spy said: "The villain saw Qin's army coming in Huaiyin County. They are all Yulin soldiers with tall horses and majestic momentum. They also brought [-] cavalry. It is said that they are going to attack us directly."
"Thirty thousand cavalry? Habayashi Army!"
Hearing this, everyone was startled and booed each other for a moment.
Today, they only have more than [-] troops in their hands, and they are all composed of a group of civilians. Their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the local garrisons, let alone the Great Qin Iron Cavalry.But now, [-] iron cavalry have come, and they are from the Habayashi Army. Can this... make everyone not afraid?
"How could it be the Habayashi Army?" Xiao He frowned in surprise, and hurriedly said, "Are you sure you read it right?"
The spy nodded affirmatively, and said, "How could the young one be mistaken? The leader of the army was Li Yang, the Prime Minister of the Central Committee, and the people of Huaiyin County came out of the city to greet him. The young one was among them. I saw it with my own eyes."
"It was him!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao He suddenly realized: "It's no wonder that there will be the Habayashi Army going out. It is said that Li You, the general in charge of the Habayashi Army, was appointed by Li Yang."
Everyone became even more worried when they found out that this was true.
All of them showed panicked faces, and Liu Ji hurriedly asked, "Are those [-] cavalry also camping in Huaiyin City to rest at this time?"
The spies replied, "I haven't seen the [-] cavalry, I just heard about it."
"What, you haven't seen his army yet, how dare you say that he has [-] cavalry?" Fan Kui was annoyed at that time, and scolded.
Liu Ji also frowned, looking angry.
The spies hurriedly said: "Your little one is not talking nonsense. Although I didn't see the [-] cavalry with my own eyes, I heard Prime Minister Zhong say that to Wang Youxian, governor of Dongyang County."
Then, the spy told exactly what he saw and heard in Huaiyin County today...
After listening to the spies' detailed report, everyone fell silent.
Fan Kuai said: "What [-] cavalry? Since the army did not show up, it means that this is a deliberate bluff. In my opinion, maybe Li Yang is deliberately intimidating us."
Liu Ji turned his head to look at Xiao He, and asked, "What do you think Mr. Xiao thinks?"
Xiao He smiled bitterly and said, "If Wang Youxian, governor of Dongyang County, came with troops and claimed that there were [-] cavalry, that would be a bluff. But..."
Speaking of this, Xiao He glanced at Fan Kui, and smiled wryly: "Li Yang Naigui is the Marquis of Yang, the prime minister in the middle of the official residence, a person with such a noble status, he sent troops to quell the chaos this time, could it be that General Fan felt that the emperor would let him Bring five hundred Yulin personal guards to quell the chaos."
"This..." Fan Kui was at a loss for words.
Yes, Li Yang came from the capital, if he didn't come with a large army, it would be too absurd.
Liu Ji said solemnly: "So, the [-] cavalry that Li Yang said should be true."
Xiao He nodded: "It must be true."
Everyone present also nodded, agreeing with Xiao He's deduction.
What a joke, a Chinese prime minister personally went out to fight against the chaos, how could it be possible without tens of thousands of elite Qin soldiers!
On the contrary, if Li Yang said that he only brought five hundred soldiers, everyone would not believe it.
Really treat everyone as fools!
At this time, the spies added: "When the little one came back, he took a small road. At this time, the Qin army should be almost at the bottom of the city."
"Oh? So fast!"
Everyone became tense.
Xiao He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "This is the speed of soldiers. It is obvious that Li Yang wants to take down Pei County in one go. This also shows that he came with his army prepared."
"Thirty thousand cavalry, big brother, we only have more than 1 people, and we can't meet the enemy at all." Xia Houying said worriedly.
Zhou Bo also said: "If you go out of the city, you will definitely lose. Now it is better to go up to the city wall and stick to it."
Liu Ji nodded, but still turned his head and asked Xiao He: "Master Xiao, how do you think we should retreat from the enemy this time?"
Xiao He smiled wryly, retreating from the enemy?Repel the enemy in a dream?
They came with [-] cavalry, elite soldiers and strong generals, not to mention retreating from the enemy, even if they wanted to defend the city, it would be difficult.
Before the arrival of the Qin army, the morale of the army was unstable and scattered. If it hadn't been for Fan Kui's plan to pretend to be the Qin army and kill deserters outside the city, some people's hearts would have been temporarily stabilized. There are still 1000 troops in the city?It is estimated that there are [-] people left.
Now, as long as the Qin army is majestic and majestic, the hungry people in the city who were farmers a few months ago will tremble with fear in an instant.
At the time of introduction, as long as the Qin army yelled to surrender and not kill, maybe the defenders in the city would open the city gate obediently by themselves?It's even hard to guarantee that someone who is a little bold will directly tie up all the people in this meeting hall, and maybe use it to claim credit.
Thinking of this, Xiao He sighed, shook his head, and said, "Liu Ji, do you want to listen to the truth or the good one?"
Liu Jidao: "Of course I listened to the truth."
Xiao He said: "The truth is that there is no defense in Peixian County. You should abandon the city and flee immediately before the Qin army arrives, and go back to Mangdang Mountain."
"This…………"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
However, in the entire conference hall, no one refuted Xiao He's words, because everyone knew in their hearts that things should not be done.
[-] defenders, no armor, no weapons, holding hoes, and more importantly, under the prospect of the implementation of the New Deal in project bidding, everyone is distracted, and there is no hope for rebellion. Such a team, You told them to defeat the fierce Qin army with [-] elite soldiers?Is this possible?
It can be said that no one has such confidence at this time.
However, Liu Ji was a little unwilling, and said, "Is there no way?"
Xiao He didn't answer his question, but asked inexplicably: "Liu Ji, what exactly do you want?"
Liu Ji was stunned for a moment, and said: "If we surrender, I wonder if we can be recruited by the Qin army, and we brothers can have a good future."
