045 State of Emergency
On the evening of the second day after Lu Ying left, the scouts arranged by the Zhenbei Army outside Beiguan City sent back emergency reports through several specially tamed falcons, and unknown armed cavalry were quickly attacking Beiguan City!
Although most of the elite soldiers of the Zhenbei Army stationed in Beiguan City were taken outside the pass to participate in the ambush Caowu, Lu Ying was always cautious and left 800 soldiers to defend the city and handed over to two capable generals to lead them.
Two generals named Bu Jie and the other named Dan Daogen. After the news, they immediately decisively ordered the city gate of Beiguan City to be closed. The people of Qi in the city were not allowed to go out without permission. The merchants from their own countries reported to the government office, and foreign countries and barbarian merchants immediately reported to the Commercial Bureau of the South City.
Usually Lu Ying would do similar drills by chance, so most of the people in Beiguan City did not know that the dark clouds of the war had quietly been hidden, so they just thought it was another drill. After hearing the warnings of soldiers and officers playing gongs and gongs, they still packed things in an orderly manner and went back to their respective homes.
Because everyone is very familiar with this set of "emergency management methods", in just one hour, all the personnel have returned to their posts, and there are only patrolling soldiers quietly left on the street.
When Bai Fuling heard the sound of the gong, she was having dinner on the Tongyun Tower. She knew that Lu Ying was not in Beiguan City at this moment. According to the past practice, she would never practice during combat at this time. It is very likely that someone would take advantage of his brother's absence, which would be detrimental to Beiguan City!
Huang Bai heard the sound of the gong and hurriedly sent the guests below, walked up to ask Bai Fuling whether he would go to Tongyun Tower to rest in his yard or have other plans.
Bai Fuling frowned and looked at the street, saying, "I'll go to the General's Mansion!" She had Lu Ying's token on her body, and she could pass through Beiguan City at any time without any obstacles, and even asked the city gate to lead the team home. However, she rarely used such privileges because Lu Ying would notify her in advance every time she practiced.
Tongyun Tower is quite a distance from the General Mansion in Zhenbei. The road was extremely smooth and unaware of a ghost. The officers and soldiers patrolling the city saw that it was the carriage of the Bai family from afar, and they all took the initiative to give way. Bai Fuling is so famous in Beiguan City that it can be known to everyone. Only fools will go up to check it out.
It was about to arrive at the General's Mansion, but they really encountered a fool...
"Stop the carriage in front!" Three people walked out of a street in front of the general's mansion. The first one was wearing the general uniform of the Zhenbei Army, and he was the one who called out.
The two ordinary servants in Beiguan City followed behind him. The two looked embarrassed and reluctant. They kept winking at the boss, pulling and pulling, as if they wanted to dissuade him from coming forward and asking for trouble.
The man always had a stern face and was unmoved, and walked up and said, "Today, the whole city is ordered to be martial law and prohibited from going to the streets without authorization. Do you have a general's order?"
Ginkgo glared at him in anger and shouted, "Who is my lady? Do you don't recognize it? The lady has the token of the general and can act freely at any time, and the entire Beiguan City knows it!"
"In extraordinary times, please show the token." The man was very stern and refused to give in.
Bai Fuling was unwilling to get involved in such a small matter. She opened the window and handed the token to Bai Shisan beside the car. She carefully looked at the token and said, "Is there anyone else in the car except Miss Bai? Please come out together."
As soon as he said this, the Bai family was unwilling to see each other. Zhenbei Army and others often deal with each other, but they had never seen such a stingy and unkind person!
Bai Fuling was surprisingly easy to talk, and directly signaled Bai Shisan to open the car door for her and said to the general: "I am the only one in the car, if you want to see it, just look."
The two officers who ignored him, who kept bowing and joking to the Bai family, walked straight to the car door, looked carefully in the car, and then confirmed that Bai Fuling was the only one, then hugged her fists and said hard: "I offended you!"
Bai Fuling smiled slightly: "You are just performing official duties. I wonder if this military master's surname is Gao?"
Her smile was as bright as the spring sun, and she couldn't help but lose her mind for a moment, but she quickly recovered and replied, "Gaoliangjiang."
Just when he reported his name, the two officers behind him had already looked at him with "You're done" eyes. You must be so despised that you have been doing. Don't think of going forward in your life! General Lu's favor and protection for Miss Bai's family is famous. Those who dare to offend her will be polite if they don't reward you with a military stick and a pork slap every day.
"Okay, I remember." Bai Fuling said in an unknown way, waved his hand and signaled Bai Shisan to pull up the car door and continue to go to the general's mansion.
Dingxiang secretly said to Baiguo: "Will Miss tell the general about Gao Liangjiang's lawsuit?"
Ginkgo said: "Who knows, it depends on the lady's mood."
"Actually, I think this Gao Liangjiang is also loyal to his duties..." Ding Xiang whispered.
Ginkgo curled his lips and said, "It's rare to be like him."
When Shi Zhu, the concierge of the General's Mansion, saw that the young lady of the Bai family came, his eyes lit up. He respectfully invited them and his group into the door, and immediately ran to find Shi Wei.
At this moment, the front hall of the General's Mansion was filled with officials in the city and several generals who left the Zhenbei Army to defend the city. When Bai Fuling heard that Bai Fuling had arrived, Bu Jing and Dan Daogen took the lead to greet him. Bai Fuling was not polite, and after returning the gift to everyone, he asked why the sudden martial law in the city was caused.
Bu and Dan took advantage of the city officials, briefly explained the situation, and comforted him: "The gateway of Beiguan City is very strong. If the opponent wants to attack hard, it is difficult to make up for it. Judging from the situation in front of him, they will probably arrive at midnight. The number of barbarian cavalry is limited, and it is impossible to have enough personnel to siege the city. Most of them just found out that the general is not in the city and wanted to try his luck. As long as you help stabilize the security in the city, our army will strictly guard the city gate, and they will retreat soon. Moreover, I have sent a letter to the general just now that the general can return to the army in two days. If these bandits do not leave, they will be the ones who cry!"
Seeing that the two of them were full of confidence and looked relaxed, the officials in the city also let go of the big stones and said goodbye to each of them to go back to deal with government affairs. At this time, the whole city was to prevent spies and refugees from taking the opportunity to cause trouble, and even cooperated with the enemy inside and outside, so their tasks were not light.
After everyone retreated, Bai Fuling asked, "Two adults, see who is coming this time?"
She used to go to and from the General's Mansion of Zhenbei, and also prepared food, grass, military pay, military uniforms and other supplies for Zhenbei Army. The whole army of Zhenbei Army was very familiar with her, and these senior generals were all very polite to her.
Hearing her asking about the details, she touched the bearded man, and pondered: "It's probably Caowu's people. This happened too coincidental. The general just received the news that Caowu was about to raid the Dajian Army, and took away most of the elite troops of Zhenbei Army. Someone here came to attack Beiguan City. I'm afraid he had planned to attack the east and west."
Bu Jie stared and said, "If this is true, Cao Wu would be too whimsical. With his smackling crowd, he would want to attack the city. Even if the general is not here, would we all be dead?"
Dan Daogen snorted: "Caowu is not a fool. It is not the first time he faces the general. He knows the general's power. He dares to do this, because there must be something else we don't know. There may be some tricks hidden in it that have not been used yet."
[31 Novel Network] Bai Fuling smiled and reminded: "No matter what crazy he is, brother Yi is not here, you have to rely on two people to defend the city. We don't know what tricks Cao Wu has. Why not think about under what circumstances may this Beiguan City be broken?" It doesn't matter what wind the people who come to attack the city are. What's important is that they must stabilize the situation and cannot let the enemy attack in.
Bujie said with a hey voice: "Unless we take the initiative to open the city, they will not even want to come in even if they are jumping outside for a year or two!"
His words are true. In recent years, Lu Ying has renovated the city walls and gates of Beiguan City. The city wall is as high as three meters high. To climb over the wall, you must have tools such as ladders to attack the city. The barbarian cavalry acted quickly and rarely carried such troublesome equipment. It took a certain amount of time to make it locally. In addition, siege is never much more difficult than defending the city, and the number of people besieged in the city must be several times more than the number of people defending the city to succeed. Therefore, even if the remaining number of soldiers in Zhenbei in the city is not large, it is enough to deal with them.
What's more, Lu Ying will be able to lead his troops back soon. No matter who comes to attack the city, it is almost inevitable that the soldiers in the city will be prepared for the information beforehand and be prepared for it.
"So, what we need to guard against is in the city. If a spy opens the city gate from inside, it will be bad." What Bai Fuling really wants to say is this.
Bujie laughed and said, "No wonder the general always praised the lady for being smart. It is true. We have ordered the senior generals left in the city to come immediately, and then select the candidates responsible for guarding the city gates and assign the tasks!"
"With two adults here, the little girl will feel relieved." Bai Fuling was actually not worried about defending the city. She was still very confident in Lu Ying's ability. Lu Ying was cautious in doing things and would definitely be prevented by similar things. She didn't have to point fingers, and Beiguan City would be safe.
But what about the final work after the enemy retreated? After a few years of peace in Beiguan City, such a thing suddenly happened again, which would have a blow to the people living here and the merchants who came here to do business. How to minimize the impact is the problem that Bai Fuling has a headache.
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Bai Fuling was about to get up and go to the west wing of the backyard to figure out what to do, but saw Shi Zhu bringing in six officers dressed in, one of which was Gao Liangjiang whom she met not long ago.
He saw Bai Fuling sitting in the hall, and his seat was as good as Bu and Dan. He was stunned for a moment and then opened his eyes.
