Chapter 1457
Chongquan County, Tianquan City
The land of the three counties of Jidong Road is Danhe, Xinfeng and Chongquan.
Among them, Chongquan County is the main one, Danhe County and Xinfeng County are the supplementary ones, forming a cornering situation, echoing each other, and placed due south of Liaodong.
According to the imperial court's vision, if the troops of the Northern Jin Dynasty enter the Pass from Liaodong, the three counties can resist them step by step, delaying the cavalry front as much as possible and buying time for the rear to dispatch reinforcements.
Therefore, Tianquan City, the original seat of the county seat of Chongquan County, naturally became the capital of Jidong Road today.
This Tianquan City is not a dangerous pass, and the city walls are not very thick. It is located on an endless plain, and there is no danger to defend.
The roads around the city are well connected in all directions, and you can go directly to the other two prefectures and counties along the official road. It is an important transportation route for nearby merchants to move goods.
This is also the reason why the Jidong government set up heavy troops in Liao Ancient City, because Tianquan City could not be defended~

…
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the cold Tianquan City ushered in the long-lost warm sunshine. The bright sunshine poured down on the earth, sweeping away the coldness of winter. Waves of warm breeze blew towards our faces, indicating that spring was no longer around.
Far.
The wide-open city gate faces the official road, and military flags are fluttering in the wind on top of the city. A small number of people are coming and going on the official road, rushing for their livelihood.
A thin-faced centurion standing at the city gate with his arms akimbo stretched out comfortably and said with a smile:
"Look, the sun is so comfortable. The northwest wind blew my ears off a while ago~"
The military uniform was still the same, but not even an hour after he came out to stand guard, the centurion felt a little hot, and the temperature was obviously getting warmer.
Standing guard in winter is the most life-threatening. You can't hold a long gun steadily, and your ears often get frostbite. The pain is really terrible.
"Hehe, that's what the head said."
A veteran smiled flatteringly and said:
"How about the head being a lucky star? On the first day of the new year, it is our brothers' turn to be on duty and the sun is shining. Everyone is blessed by the head!"

"Okay, you sycophant, stop taking pictures." The centurion said with a cheerful smile:
"You have followed me for so many years and flattered me so much. Aren't you tired?"
Although he knew that the veteran was flattering him, the centurion still smiled when he heard good things. Who doesn't like to hear good things?
"Hey, hey, hey, what I'm saying is all the truth."
The veteran smiled and leaned closer, whispering:
"Boss, I heard that there is no peace over there in Liaodong. Shouldn't we be at war too?"
The veteran's sly eyebrows were wandering around, as if he was saying something ulterior.
The centurion glanced at the veteran and muttered:
"This rumor has been circulating for two or three months, so it's nothing new. It's okay for us, since we don't border Liaodong anyway, so the New Year will not be stable over there on the front line.
Who knows what those border troops in Liaodong and Beiliang want to do? We can just leave it to fate~"

This centurion was very open-minded and knew that a small person like himself could not determine the direction of the general trend.
The veteran's attitude was completely different, and he said worriedly:
"Don't start a fight~ I'm just here to earn some military pay every year to subsidize my family's daily expenses, but I don't want to die on the battlefield.
If you lose your life, it will really be a big loss to my grandma’s family.”
This veteran was very familiar with the centurion, so he dared to speak his mind.
"Look at your courage."
The centurion rolled his eyes at him, patted his somewhat fat belly and said:
"Even if the sky falls, there will be a tall man who can hold it up. The 20,000 soldiers and horses in Liao Ancient City need money for money and weapons for weapons. They are like the biological sons of the Ministry of Revenue. Isn't now the time to put them to use?
What are you afraid of? It won’t be our turn if we fight.”
"Really?" The veteran scratched his head and muttered doubtfully:

"Can those turtle grandsons really block the Liang army? If they can, it's okay. If they can't, then the Liang army will march straight in? I don't think Tianquan City is safe."
"Okay, okay, let's just stand guard and stop worrying about other things." Seeing that the veteran still looked worried, the centurion immediately began to persuade him.
"Da da da~"
"Da da da~"
A sudden sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the end of the official road, interrupting the conversation between the two, and the ground shook slightly.
The centurion turned his head blankly, and even the soldiers guarding the door and the people on the official road looked over.
What appeared on the horizon was a large cavalry army, holding high the flag of the Jidong Road garrison, running towards the city gate.
"Boom~"
The sound of horse hooves became louder and louder, and the figures and flags became clearer and clearer.
Seeing that it was one of his own, the centurion was relieved, but his eyes soon became strange.

Why do these cavalrymen look so embarrassed?
The armor on many people's bodies was stained with blood, and the few military flags they had were in tatters. There was no order in the cavalry's advance, as if they were fleeing.
It seems, it seems that behind the cavalry there are some running infantry?
The centurion looked confused, unaware of what was happening, but the sharp-eyed veteran stretched out his hand and said:
"The banner with the character Yuan is General Yuan from Liao Ancient City who is here!"
The centurion shuddered subconsciously. Everyone was afraid of Yuanwu's reputation in Liao Ancient City. If a little guy like him offended Yuanwu, he might not even be able to see the sun tomorrow. He stood up straight now.
Straight.
Sure enough, he saw a strong figure in front of the team, which looked very much like Yuan Wu.
"Boom~"
The cavalry entered the city all the way without any intention of stopping, and rushed past the many soldiers defending the city.
The centurion only saw the bandaged general raising his knife towards him and shouting:
Password 563743675
"The Liang army invaded the ancient city of Liao. The entire army was on alert and the city gates were sealed immediately!"
"Seal the city gate immediately!"
The cavalry rushed into Chengdu in a hurry, leaving a group of city guards in a daze.
After being stunned for a long time, the centurion roared at the top of his lungs:
"Enter the city! Close the city gate!"
…
As the defeated troops of Liao Ancient City retreated into the city, the entire Tianquan City became tense. The garrison came out in full force, went to the city to be on guard, and the people who were wandering outside hurriedly hid in their homes.
Especially in the office of the Minister of Economic Affairs, there were even more clouds.
The big shots on Jidong Road were sitting there, almost all of them looking gloomy.
Sitting on the main seat are the civil and military envoys. They are Deng Chumin, the envoy of Jidong Road, and Lu Jiyi, the envoy of the military governor.

Both of them were local officials from Jidong Province, but Deng Chumin was a disciple of Yuwen Hongru, a serious scholar. When he was a minor official in the capital, he received a lot of favors from the Yuwen family.
Before that, he was only the governor of Chongquan County. After Yuwen Xingchen came to the throne, he immediately became the governor of Jidong Province, which shows that he is a die-hard Yuwen leader.
As for Lu Jiyi, he is an old man over sixty years old. He can sit in the position of Protector mainly because of his qualifications. He has been a general in Jidong Road and he brought out many generals in the army.
.
In fact, everyone knows that the old general will not be able to serve for a few more years. As he gets older, Yuan Wu from Longxi will take over from him sooner or later.
