Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 169 The Eastern Turkic Cavalry approaches the city
Chapter 169 The Eastern Turkic Cavalry approaches the city
Chapter 169: Eastern Turkic cavalry troops approach the city
After the news spread, Fang Yuan immediately mobilized manpower for publicity.
At this time, after Fang Yuan's acquisition and requisition, there were now 500 horses.
Five hundred horses are equipped with horseshoes, and the riders have been selected from state officials and security guards.
"The governor has ordered that the entire state enters a state of war!"
"No one needs to panic, Liaozhou has the ability to protect everyone!"
"Try not to go outside the city unless you have important matters. The most dangerous place is outside the city!"
"No one in the city is allowed to cause trouble or rob. Those who disobey orders will be dealt with according to military law and beheaded on the spot!"
At the beginning of the 500th year, the cavalry was dispatched.
We were assigned to go around Liaozhou City several times for publicity.
The clatter of horse hooves kept ringing, drowning out the panic of the people.
Looking at the majestic cavalry, the panicked people slowly calmed down and became less panicked.
At any time, strength is the weapon that makes people feel safe, and the five hundred cavalry in Liaozhou City are the stabilizer for the people.
As Liaozhou City initially stabilized, a part of the cavalry left the city and headed toward the four counties to spread the word that the county magistrates would coordinate the county's defense.
"Lord Governor, it's time to recruit troops!"
Xu Shihui found Fang Yuan and suggested.
Fang Yuan solemnly nodded and asked Sima Yang Sina to recruit troops.
Soon, the governor's office issued a recruitment announcement, providing money and food, and many people responded.
"Zun Zhou, we found out that the Fenyin Xue family is packing their luggage, and other aristocratic families also have signs of packing up and paying homage!"
Luo Zheng came to report.
Since the last bandit annihilation, Fang Yuan learned that Luo Zheng had strong investigative ability, so he singled him out and asked him to form a small investigation team.
His investigation team is not part of the official force, but is a collection of rangers. They are all people from the martial arts world. They are relatively unruly and have some martial arts skills. They are perfect for investigation.
This time Fang Yuan was worried about the relocation of various aristocratic families, so he asked Luo Zheng to keep an eye on the major aristocratic families and trading firms in the city. Now he found that the Fenyin Xue family was packing their luggage.
"Call Zhang San, Yang Sina, and the Xue family siblings, and follow me to the Fenyin Xue family!"
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.
The Xue family of Fenyin is one of the three tribes in Hedong, a top-notch family.
After hearing that the Pei family was driven out of Liaozhou City, the Liu family in Jie County danced very happily, and they were secretly known as the first aristocratic family in Liaozhou.
But the Fenyin Xue family is undoubtedly the strongest.
Their strength lies in their fists!
If such a large aristocratic family leaves, it will have a disastrous impact on Liaozhou City, causing more aristocratic families to leave, and causing more panic among the people.
"Yes!"
Luo Zheng left immediately.
Soon, Xue Jiaoyan and Xue Bowu arrived.
"Fang Yuan, do you want me to help you transfer some property?"
Xue Jiaoyan looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she approached Fang Yuan and whispered.
She was in charge of Fang Yuan's accounting office these days, and found that Fang Yuan really had too much money to count.
Although a lot of work was spent on disaster relief, there were still a lot of people, much more than her family.
"Nonsense!"
"Do you believe I will kick you away?"
Fang Yuan immediately scolded with a straight face.
At this time, as the governor, I am transferring property, how much impact will this have?
"Don't worry, no one will know, I'll come secretly!"
Xue Jiaoyan chuckled and whispered.
Her eyes looked like coins, as if she had fallen into a money vat.
"You!"
"If you really think so, not only can you not touch the account books in the future, but you should also move out of the Fang Mansion!"
Fang Yuan almost kicked him.
But seeing Xue Bowu in front of me, I thought about it and endured it.
After saying that, Fang Yuan ignored her and walked towards the door of the Governor's Mansion.
"A little bit~"
Xue Jiaoyan stuck out her tongue at Fang Yuan.
After finishing, quickly follow Fang Yuan and get on the carriage together.
Xue Bowu scratched his head, smiled silly, and got on the carriage.
Not long after, Fang Yuan and others arrived at the door of Fenyin Xue Family.
Along the way, Fang Yuan found that there were fewer people on the streets.
It can be seen that the influence of the Eastern Turks Qianqi is still very large.
"Lord Governor, please allow me to inform you."
The guard found out it was Fang Yuan and quickly saluted.
Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, then waved his hand to let him report.
Not long after, Fang Yuan was welcomed in and headed to the hall.
At this time, Xue Wenbo and several clan elders were already waiting here.
Seeing Fang Yuan arriving, Xue Wenbo and others stood up to salute and greet him.
"Mr. Xue, I heard that you are packing up your gifts. Are you preparing to leave Liaozhou City?"
Fang Yuan sat down and said bluntly.
"Sorry, leaving at this time."
"The main line has an order, let us return to Taiyuan Mansion now!"
Xue Wenbo's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said.
"It's very dangerous outside the city at this time, and you may encounter the East Turkic cavalry by chance!"
Fang Yuan smiled slightly and said with concern.
"Thank you to the governor for his concern, but our family can accurately monitor the location of the East Turkic Cavalry."
Xue Wenbo chuckled.
An urgent report came from Taiyuan Prefecture.
This time the East Turkic cavalry entered Hedong Road, and will most likely attack two places next.
One is Bingzhou and the other is Liaozhou!
The purpose of attacking Bingzhou was to occupy Taiyuan Prefecture, thereby seizing Hedong Road and intimidating the imperial court.
The reason for attacking Liaozhou was that refugees gathered here not long ago, giving them an opportunity to easily massacre.
If they choose to attack Liaozhou and find that there is no one outside the city, they will definitely become angry and choose to attack the city.
The situation in Liaozhou City is unbearable and its fall is very likely. The Fenyin Xue family is not willing to stay here.
Returning to Bingzhou is different. The majestic city of Taiyuan Prefecture is far from comparable to that of Liaozhou. There are many aristocratic families, strong clan soldiers, and the defensive power far exceeds that of Liaozhou City.
"But your departure will cause a great shock to one city and four counties in Liaozhou."
Fang Yuan's smile faded and he said in a deep voice.
Today's Liaozhou can be described with the word "turbulent".
The appearance of five hundred cavalrymen slowly stabilized the people.
At this time, the departure of the most powerful Fenyin Xue family will undoubtedly have a huge impact on Liaozhou.
This is like telling the tens of thousands of people in Liaozhou: If Liaozhou cannot be defended, run away quickly.
Even before the Eastern Turkic cavalry arrived, Liaozhou was already in internal chaos.
Especially now that there are so many newcomers in Liaozhou.

"Sorry."
Xue Wenbo shook his head and said slightly guilty.
As the head of a branch, he understands everything.
But there is a high probability that Liaozhou cannot be defended, and it is impossible for him to stay here.
"Mr. Xue, please stay!"
Fang Yuan took a deep breath, stood up and bowed heavily to Xue Wenbo.
Xue Wenbo was startled and looked at Fang Yuan in surprise.
Having known Fang Yuan for so long, although Fang Yuan has always been polite, his attitude is very tough.
He was greatly surprised to beg him so suddenly.
Not only was he surprised, but everyone present was surprised.
There was a look of shame on Zhang Sanjian's face, but he also imitated Fang Yuan and begged Xue Wenbo.
Yang Sina frowned, and finally, together with Zhang San, imitated Fang Yuan and begged Xue Wenbo.
As for Xue Jiaoyan, she pretended not to see it and looked away. It was absolutely impossible for her to beg Fenyin Xue.
If my sister doesn’t ask for it, Xue Bowu naturally won’t ask for it either.
The Fenyin Xue clan elders who were present looked at it, quickly recovered from the surprise, and slowly smiled, a smile that really could not do without me.
"Prefect Fang, I'm really sorry."
"I can't decide on the main line's orders."
Xue Wenbo stood up, shook his head and sighed.
He was a little moved, but still felt that Liaozhou could not defend it.
"Since Mr. Xue has made this decision, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"During wartime, if anyone from the Fenyin Xue family leaves Liaozhou City, kill him!"
Fang Yuan took back his saluting gesture, stood up straight, and his face sank.
As soon as he finished speaking, the smiles on the faces of the elders of Fenyin Xue clan suddenly froze.
Zhang San and Yang Sina, who were still maintaining their saluting postures, were also stunned and did not react at all.
Pleading the moment before.
The next moment, he directly threatened to kill him.
Such a huge change shocked everyone.
"Prince Fang, what do you mean?!"
The elders of the Xue family in Fenyin immediately became angry.
He jumped up from his seat, his face full of anger.
"Literally!"
"Mr. Xue, please respect yourself!"
Fang Yuan looked at him coldly and said in a deep voice.
After saying that, he turned around and went back the way he came.
"Prince Fang, why is this so?"
Xue Wenbo was angry and angry.
He walked towards Fang Yuan angrily.
When Xue Jiaoyan saw this, she immediately kicked Xue Bowu.
She likes Fang Yuan who has a tough attitude, and she also likes Fenyin Xue who is defiant.
Xue Bowu understood and rushed to Fang Yuan's side in a few steps, blocking Xue Wenbo's front.
"Xue Wenbo, don't force me to fall out!"
"I now have five hundred cavalry, and the number will continue to increase!"
"You can try to leave and see whether you die first or my people die first."
Fang Yuan did not stop and left without looking back.
He brought Zhang San and Yang Sina, two adjutants from the governor's office, over and asked them to stay. His attitude was very good and he was very respectful.
Since you don’t want to stay, then you have to stay by force!
"Mr. Xue, please think twice!"
"If you leave at this time, it will be a huge blow to Liaozhou, and the governor will be merciless."
Zhang San pondered for a moment and said softly.
The shame on his face completely disappeared, and he even looked a little proud.
But after thinking about it, he guessed that Fang Yuan still wanted to keep the Fenyin Xue family, so he spoke to Xue Wenbo Haosheng.
"Get out!"
Xue Wenbo was furious.
Even though he is gray and gray, he is still full of energy.
Zhang San’s hair was flying, but he was not angry at all.
The angrier Fenyin Xue is, the happier he will be.
Zhang San left, and Yang Sina followed.
Xue Jiaoyan left humming a ditty.
"Wenbo, what should I do?"
Several clan elders gathered around Xue Wenbo, their faces full of anger and aggrievedness.
"Let the clansmen stop packing."
Xue Wenbo became depressed and sighed.
"Are you so afraid of that kid?!"
Several clan elders became even more angry, jumping up in anger and calling Fang Yuan boy.
"Then do you dare to bet?"
Xue Wenbo glanced at the clan elder who was speaking and sneered.
Leaving at this time will shake the foundation of Liaozhou, and Fang Yuan will definitely be merciless.
Five hundred cavalry... Fenyin Xue family has no chance of winning.
If we win, it will be a miserable victory.
And if a war breaks out, the Fenyin Xue family will be infamy for thousands of years.
Several clan elders opened their mouths, but in the end they had no choice but to shut up.
Outside the Xue Family's Gate in Fenyin.
"Zhang San, convey my order to one city and four counties!"
"Liaozhou needs the support of various aristocratic families. Please ask each aristocratic family to provide troops or personnel for a fee!"
"In addition, if any aristocratic family moves during the wartime state, they will be exterminated on the grounds of colluding with the Eastern Turks to treason..."
Fang Yuan stopped at the door of Fenyin Xue Family, looking at the number of people on the street getting smaller, his eyes became sharper.
Liaozhou is in trouble. Thousands of Eastern Turks are attacking. The people of Liaozhou are in dire straits, but the aristocratic family wants to leave at this time.
What is Liaozhou now?
Can you come when you want and leave when you want?
"Convey it to each family individually, or to everyone?"
Zhang San's eyes widened and he asked respectfully.
Fang Yuan is using the Governor's Mansion to fight against all aristocratic families!
"Communicate to everyone!"
"Especially those foreign aristocratic families who have moved here, they personally send people to their homes to convey the message!"
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
Let the common people know.
I know that the governor's office will resist with all its strength.
Give them confidence and let everyone unite.
"Yes!"
Zhang San responded immediately.
Leave with Fang Yuan’s order.
Not long after, the cavalry took action again.
Announcements are also written on various billboards in Liaozhou.
"What?"
"Fang Yuan actually issued such an order?!"
Every family was shocked.
Liu Yongshou even slapped the table directly.
He also received the analysis of the main lineage of Taiyuan Mansion.
It is determined that Liaozhou is likely to be attacked by Eastern Turkic cavalry.
So I have ordered my clansmen to pack up their rituals and prepare to leave Liaozhou in a day or two.
Who would have thought that Fang Yuan would directly issue such an order, and those who were found to have left would be exterminated!
How dare he go against all the aristocratic families in the city?!
"Mr. Liu, are we still leaving?"
Liu Xingfa is packing up his books.
It is already early May, and spring will be here in two or three months.
At this time, the East Turkic cavalry suddenly broke in and interfered with his studies, which made him very troubled.
"What's the news from the Fenyin Xue family?"
Liu Yongshou did not answer, but asked the tribesmen on the side.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"The Fenyin Xue clan was packing up to pay their respects when the governor arrived."
"Then Governor Fang left, and then Fenyin Xue family closed the door, and there was no movement."
The clan members respectfully report.
They are all one of the three tribes in Hedong and know each other well.
When Mr. Xue from Fenyin was packing up to pay homage, Mr. Liu from Jie County was also packing up to pay homage.
Although there was no communication between the two parties, they must have left and returned together.
"Let the clansmen stop packing and paying homage."
Liu Yongshou was so angry that he kicked the desk in front of him.
He knew that Xue Wenbo was showing weakness, maybe it was because Fang Yuan said something that made him afraid.
In short, it will not be migrated.
Even the Xue clan of Fenyin showed weakness by speaking with their fists, so what qualifications did the Liu clan of Jiexian have not to show weakness?
......
All the aristocratic families in the city know about it.
All the aristocratic families in the city were also angry.
But no aristocratic family dares to move at this time.
Fang Yuan's words of genocide deeply hit everyone's hearts.
Whoever dares to be the first to migrate at this time will definitely be punished by Fang Yuan.
Maybe all the aristocratic families joining together can make Fang Yuan afraid, but what if Fang Yuan comes for real?
The family is angry.
But the people cheered.
They saw Fang Yuan's determination.
Therefore, more people responded to Fang Yuan’s conscription.
One city and four counties in Liaozhou have finally settled down.
But real peace only ends in two days.
At noon that day, there was a shaking sound like the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking outside Liaozhou City.
Fang Yuan, who was in the Governor's Mansion, also vaguely heard the terrifying shaking sound.
Liaozhou City instantly fell into panic, and people guessed what happened.
"Lord Governor, enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The soldiers guarding the city came over and said tremblingly.
His face turned pale with fright, and he was terrified.
"What are you panicking about?"
"The sky in Liaozhou has not fallen yet!"
Fang Yuan's eyes turned cold, he stood up and shouted loudly.
He walked outside the governor's house, and immediately a state official came over with a horse.
Du Miaoyan followed. She has been staying with Fang Yuan at the Governor's Mansion these days.
"Pass this official order and put the whole city on alert!"
"If the city gate is not breached, there will be no chaos in the city for a day!"
"Anyone who commits adultery and commits crimes during wartime will be killed!"
Fang Yuan mounted his horse and shouted loudly.
Zhang San, Yang Sina and others responded immediately.
Fang Yuan made a sound and rode towards the main city gate.
Du Miaoyan, Xu Shihui and others followed.
Li Danqiu's sister and brother came with cavalry from other places.
In the past few days, the cavalry in Liaozhou City has only grown to 600.
The aristocratic family had no support, so the horses were bought from various places in the city.
However, the number of voluntary conscripts increased to 3,000, and the number of people defending the city was sufficient.
Not long after, Fang Yuan and others arrived at the city wall.
Fang Yuan discovered that every one of the soldiers guarding the city was frightened.
Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan's expression became even more ugly and he climbed onto the city wall.
"Lord Governor!"
The captain of the city guard welcomes.
His face doesn't look good either.
But more angry than scared.
Fang Yuan said nothing and looked outside the city wall.
In an instant, Fang Yuan's pupils shrank and his heart skipped a beat.
After seeing such a situation, Fang Yuan understood why they were afraid.
I saw a dark mass of cavalry walking back and forth on the land, smoke and dust billowing, and a murderous look.
Some of the cavalry among them were holding ropes, and at the other end of the rope were ordinary people who were tied up and moved around with the cavalry.
Some people were unable to move and fell to the ground and were forcibly pulled. Their clothes were already in tatters, their flesh and blood were blurred, and their screams sounded like they were coming from hell.
There were streaks of blood on the ground, and pieces of flesh lay on the ground, terrifying and ferocious.
This is not the most frightening part.
Fang Yuan also saw some cavalrymen holding severed hands and feet and chewing them alive, which was bloody and scary.
The whole scene is like the god of death coming to Liaozhou City, which is uncomfortable and scary.
"Beast!"
Li Danqiu is dressed as a heroic general.
After seeing the Eastern Turkic cavalry, their pretty faces were like a layer of ice.
Fang Yuan and others did the same, looking at the current East Turkic cavalry with cold eyes.
“@#￥%……&!”
Under the city, some Eastern Turkic cavalry shouted.
It looks like he is dressed slightly differently, and he should be the general of this cavalry.
It was an Eastern Turkic language, and Fang Yuan and others could not understand what he said.
But soon, a common man was involved.
Likewise, he was also tied up with a rope and pulled from behind.
"Open, open the city gate and surrender."
"Otherwise, these two-legged sheep will end up."
The civilian translator who was led out had a trembling voice.
As he spoke, the Eastern Turkic cavalry laughed wildly.
What's more, they rode their horses back and forth around some people who fell to the ground, scaring the people so much that they begged for mercy.
However, the more the people begged for mercy, the more the East Turkic cavalry laughed and caroused. Finally, the horses' hooves stepped on the people, trampling them to death.
"Damn it!"
"Let him have the guts to attack the city!"
Li Danqiu was so angry that his eyes were split open, and he shouted down.
Fang Yuan's eyes were cold and furious, acquiescing to Li Danqiu's intention.
