I heard that Quan Xiang wants to be good [rebirth]

The news came back three days later.

Early in the morning, before dawn, someone knocked on the door of Shuchang Yu's mansion.When the butler opened the door sleepily, he saw a spy rushing in in a hurry, and went straight to Shu Changyu's residence without paying attention to him.

At that time, Shu Zhang Yu Fang got up and was about to have breakfast.The spy made a hasty announcement and rushed in.

Shu Changyu has arranged such spies in Zhaojing and other places. If there is any news on weekdays, Feige will send it to him, so that he can keep track of the situation in Beijing even though he is in Huzhou.But this time the spy came back in person, presumably it was an urgent matter that attracted him to hurry back.

"Master Shu..." The spy couldn't catch his breath. "The north... the north is in chaos!"

Shu Zhangyu frowned upon hearing this, put down his chopsticks, and raised his hand to let Kong Qing carry the sleepy Shu Xun Zhi out.

"Where's the mess?" He asked with a frown. "Zhaojing?"

"Shandong!" the spy said. "The victims in Shandong were going to the north, but the emperor knew about it halfway. He insisted that the turbidity of the victims might hurt the Daqi Dragon Vein. He issued a strict order and sent people to drive these victims back to Shandong!"

Shu Changyu frowned.

Although Emperor Qianning was a bit confused in his previous life, he was not the face of such a tyrant.That Shandong is now so dry that not a single blade of grass can grow, and the victims can only starve to death if they stay there.It is normal for the local people to be displaced wherever a disaster occurs on weekdays. How can there be any reason to drive people back to the disaster-stricken area?

"What about after that?" Shu Changyu asked in a deep voice.

"Afterwards, the victims of the disaster in Shandong were instigated by a local military officer named Zhuo Renyue and formed an uprising army! As soon as Zhuo Renyue took the lead, the victims of the disaster responded one after another. Now there are more than [-] subordinates who have set fire to the surrounding provinces. Kill and loot!" Having said this, the spies swallowed and said. "The scholars who went to Huzhou along the Hebei River, now...the life and death are uncertain!"

Shu Changyu was taken aback.

Traveling by water is very fast, and now according to the time, Fang Yuqian might just arrive at Shandong.

What's more, there are so many victims in this group, they are all hopeless people.They revolted and wanted to eat, so they robbed them from the surrounding area.Although the surrounding people were in good weather, they did not have an easy life.If this group of people plundered without distinguishing between rich and poor, I am afraid that there will be chaos in that area, and there will be a lot of sorrow.

Before Shu Changyu had time to ask him, he heard the spies say again: "This group of people burned, killed and looted all the way, they have broken through the four cities of Daqi, and they are coming towards Huzhou!"

Shu Changyu frowned and asked, "Since he wants to rebel, why come to Huzhou?"

The spies said: "Nowadays in the uprising army, it is rumored that you...are descended from the stars, and if you want to change the dynasty, it must be you. Then Zhuo Renyue is here for you, and wants...to make you the new emperor, We will rule the river with Daqi."

Shu Zhang Yu immediately stood up, ignored the breakfast on the table, turned and went out the door.

"Now, go to the Huzhou government office immediately, and invite the Huzhou city defense general and the Huzhou magistrate to the government office."

This Daqi has always emphasized civility over military affairs. Except for the frontiers to resist foreign barbarians, the defenses of the states and counties are very weak.The founding emperor of Daqi thought this way because he was afraid that the local military power would be too heavy and cause civil strife, but now it is not the local army but the local people who are fighting against it. It is difficult for the weak local army to become a climate.

When Shuchang Yuzhihe was requisitioned, the Huzhou city defense army was conscripted. I remember that the total number was only [-], and they didn't practice hard on weekdays, so they served as sentries to catch local ruffians.This is also the reason why this group of people was able to break through four cities in a row, as if entering a land without people.

Those disaster victims were desperate, and none of them were afraid of death; the leader was a young general, so he knew the art of war.They plundered all the way and saved food and pay. On the contrary, the victims followed the rebel army to have food, and everyone was probably very brave.

The more Shu Changyu thought about it, the more he frowned.

As soon as he walked out, he saw Kong Qing holding Shu Xun Zhi standing at the door waiting for him.Shu Xunzhi still looked sleepy, seeing him coming out, she called him with her soft voice.

Shu Zhangyu didn't even have time to stop, so he ordered Kong Qing, "Take the lady to dinner." While speaking, he pulled the cloak from the hand of one of the maids, wrapped it around his shoulders, and walked out quickly.

Shu Chang Yu usually only knows how to be busy with business, but has a rough heart, Shu Xun Zhi has long been used to him like this.She rubbed her eyes and looked up at Kong Qing.

"Brother Kongqing, it's not yet dawn, where is dad going?"

Kong Qing looked up, and saw that in the starry night, only the sky was a little white.Shu Changyu wore a blue cloak and walked quickly in the night, carrying the stars on his shoulders.

That appearance, as if protecting the whole world behind him.

"Daddy is busy." Kong Qing softened his voice, lowered his head and held Shu Xun Zhi's hand. "Let's go and have breakfast."

-

Just after dawn, the Huzhou city defense general and the Huzhou magistrate rushed over one after the other.The city defense general is now over 50 years old, his beard is half white, and he was out of breath when he ran in.

Shu Changyu informed the two of them without delay.

The city defense general was already out of breath, but when he heard the news, his face turned pale.

"More than a hundred thousand...!" He sighed. "Not counting the ones who joined after that, I'm afraid there will be more than 20 in Huzhou! The Huzhou garrison is now only 8000 people. Even though they are all from the army, if they want to resist..."

At this point, his throat was choked and he couldn't say what happened next.After a long pause, he sighed heavily and closed his mouth.

Shu Changyu looked at his old appearance, the more he looked at him, the more he felt that this person could not go to the battlefield.He is quite old, and he was born as a martial artist, so he has only been stationed in one city, so it is really embarrassing to use him.

He said to the magistrate of Huzhou: "Mr. Zheng, please tell the city and the people all over the place, and be prepared. It is best to pack up and take your family, old and young, to hide in the south. Those who live in the surrounding villages must enter the city or move south. They are not allowed to stay. After the war is over, it’s not too late to go home. There are food requisition notices posted in the city, among which rich peasants and above in the city are required to donate food and donations, and all the proceeds will go to the people outside the city to buy food and grass. plenty of food."

The prefect of Huzhou responded one by one.

"In a while, I will go to Xinyumen Pass and the capital to ask my brother and His Majesty to send troops to reinforce them." Shu Changyu said. "At that time, it will take at least half a month to go back and forth. We will defend this half month, and then we can wait for reinforcements to switch from defense to offense."

Shu Changyu turned to the general again: "Assemble all the Huzhou garrison troops, put them on standby, and guard Huzhou City strictly. Send another subordinate to the southern states and counties to seek reinforcements." He paused and said. "The general, please go in person. You must be quick. You are familiar with the generals in the southern states and counties. It will be much easier to dispatch troops by then."

"But the official is gone, who will guard Huzhou?" the general asked tremblingly.

Shu Changyu looked at him without hesitation.

"I will guard."

When the notice was posted on this day, it immediately caused an explosion in the city, and there were many discussions.

However, there is no obstacle to the collection of grain money in Huzhou.After the short-term panic among the people of Huzhou, many people generously donated, even donating more than half of their family's money and food.This is not without benefiting from Shu Changyu's career in Huzhou in the past few years, which can be said to have saved a party's emergency, and everyone in Huzhou naturally remembered it in their hearts.

At this time, Shu Changyu was arguing with Lin Hong, the general of the Huzhou garrison.

"The Yellow River is a natural moat. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. According to the current attack speed of the Shandong rebels, they will reach the Yellow River in less than two days. We can set up an ambush here and attack them when they cross the river. At least we can Make it lose a few percent."

Shu Changyu had already planned this matter on the way to Huzhou government office today.

But Lin Hong's attitude is surprisingly conservative.Hearing this, he shook his head again and again, and said, "Master Shu, the current plan is to defend the city to the death. Huzhou has its own city wall several feet high. If you go out of the city to fight, I'm afraid you will never return, and you will lose yourself."

Shu Changyu frowned: "Now that the enemy is out in the dark, they don't know that we are on guard, so they caught us by surprise at this time, isn't it in their hands?"

But Lin Hong shook his head firmly: "Sir Shu, you can't let Huzhou soldiers follow us to die in vain. This is a dangerous move, and I'm sorry that it will be difficult for me to follow."

Shu Chang Yu Wenyan frowned even deeper.When he was arguing with Lin Hong just now, he had explained clearly to Lin Hong the formation of troops and the order of attack, but Lin Hong just refused to agree.He didn't bother to waste any more words on him at this time, so he opened his mouth and said.

"General Lin, as soon as my official rank is above yours, the soldiers will strictly enforce orders and prohibit you. You will do what I say. Secondly, this soldier was born to defend his family and country. He died to resist the enemy. He deserved his death. Why? Come to die for nothing? If the city of Huzhou is destroyed and the people suffer because of you shrinking your head, then it is your fault and mine."

Hearing this, Lin Hong suddenly stood up.

"Master Shu, are you here for the people of Huzhou, or for your own reputation?" He sneered. "If you really want to save the people of Huzhou from suffering, you might as well surrender. Originally, they came for you, not for Huzhou. Master Shu probably asked me to wait for the bloody battle because he was afraid of getting the reputation of treason?"

Shu Changyu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Not to mention the more than [-] rebels who had to loot for food.They want to be justified, so they introduced a long and short metaphor.At that time, if you get a long-term metaphor, you will also regard him as a golden signboard with no real power, and burn, kill and loot in his name.

But Shu Changyu was too lazy to explain this to him.

This is a habit he developed in his previous life.His time should be spent in more useful places, instead of reasoning with stubborn stones. If you want to scold me, scold me, let's see who is the one who speaks and counts.

He sneered.

"Surrender without a fight, we don't need such a general." Shu Changyu said. "Come here, tie Lin Hong up and drag him out, bring him to the front of the garrison, and behead him for public display. If there are those who retreat, those who want to surrender, or those who don't obey orders, they will all end up like this."

The left and right guards stepped forward and set up Lin Hong.

Originally, Huzhou city defense generals were good-natured and old. As a young general, Lin Hong was used to dominating the Huzhou army.Therefore, seeing such a frail scholar as Shu Changyu, I was not afraid to fight him at all.

Unexpectedly, Shu Changyu wanted to kill him.

"Short and long Yu!!" He struggled in a panic. "I am the official of the imperial court, how can you kill me! The emperor will not spare you!"

But Shu Changyu didn't feel flustered at all, and smiled slightly with his lips curled up.

"At present, the enemy can't take care of so much."

His voice was light and light, and when he said this, the sound was like the wind in spring.But when it fell gently into everyone's ears, ice balls immediately formed.

The author has something to say: starting today, the daily update is 6000!

Something about little kids:

Because the writing of this part of the plot is relatively dry, and the state has not been good for the past two days, so a new character was added. The original intention is to be a wingman and a character to promote the plot. I did not expect to arouse the disgust of some little angels...

To roughly explain my thoughts:

First of all, it’s not about raising children. After all, as mentioned earlier, the prime minister is too busy with official duties to care about children, so children are basically raised empty-handed.In the current situation, this four-year-old girl does not need the protagonist's constant care.

In addition, the Prime Minister himself is a person who is more ambitious than his family. The Prime Minister is not because he likes children, but because he is kind for a while. Some of the future (emphasis) plots will be driven by children, but it is impossible to revolve around children.

In the end, I just feel that this girl is just a part of a long and rich life.He has a lover, a confidant, a colleague, and an adopted orphan by his side, and there is no conflict.

If the little angel really doesn't like it, then there is no other way but to say goodbye.After all, I like this girl very much, and I am reluctant to delete her.

Prime Minister Shu has been in Huzhou by himself for so long, and there is a tough battle to be fought soon. I hope that before Jing Mu comes, he can have a little padded jacket to warm him, just~
