Xiao Muqing only knows how daring Tang Yin is. Not to mention the capital city of Bessa, even Tang Yin has the courage to venture into it.
Looking at Shangguan Yuanrang who looked disapproving, Xiao Muqing did not continue to argue with him, but just laughed and welcomed him into the city.
He could clearly see how powerful Shangguan Yuanrang was in the city. If he wanted to resist Besa's army now, he would have to rely on this person a lot, and he didn't dare to offend him.
The Feng army led by Xiao Muqing was almost like a star holding the moon, and they welcomed Shangguan Yuanrang into the city. The latter accepted the crowd's support with peace of mind, sitting on the horse without even getting down, with his head held high.
, the corners of his mouth were raised, half-smiling, triumphant. In his opinion, everyone should treat him like this. If he hadn't arrived in time, the barbarian army would have already entered the city.
As he was walking forward, a group of people came quickly in front of him. The leader was none other than Shangguan Yuanji.
Shangguan Yuanrang's eyes were sharp and he saw his elder brother coming from a distance. He was stunned for a moment, and then the proud look on his face suddenly disappeared. His first reaction was to get off the horse, forced out a peaceful smile, and looked at the people around him from time to time.
Nodding in greeting, Xiao Muqing was very strange. He couldn't understand why he suddenly made a 180-degree change in the attitude of everyone on his side.
After waiting for a while, he also saw Shangguan Yuanji and others approaching quickly, and then he realized that Shangguan Yuanrang was also in awe of his eldest brother!
Shangguan Yuanji has never practiced Lingwu, but his three brothers are all highly skilled in Lingwu. However, the attitudes of the three brothers towards him are both respect and fear. Of course, respect is far more important than fear. Parents
After passing away, the eldest brother becomes the father. No matter how great the three of them are, they are just younger brothers and juniors in front of Shangguan Yuanji.
Before Shangguan Yuanji could get closer, Shangguan Yuanrang rushed over to greet him. When he arrived in front of Shangguan Yuanji, he straightened his clothes and knelt down. Before he could speak, his eye circles turned red. Shangguan Yuanrang wandered around, leaving.
We have been together for several years, and we have been separated from my eldest brother for several years. When we met at this time, my heart was full of emotions. After a moment of relief, he said in a trembling voice: "Brother Yuan Rang, meet my eldest brother!"
Looking at his brother who had been away from home for many years and kneeling in front of him, Shangguan Yuanji's tears fell. He hurriedly reached out to help Yuan Rang up and looked him up and down carefully. He felt that his brother was much darker than he thought.
He also looked a lot more mature. He nodded excitedly and choked with sobs: "It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back!"
The two brothers had not seen each other for many years. When they reunited after a long separation, they naturally had a lot to say and had thousands of things to say. However, Xiao Muqing did not have time to wait for them to chat about family matters. He came closer and said with a smile: "Sir, Lord Shangguan, General Youyuan is like this."
My brothers are really a blessing to the Shangguan family and also to my Pingyuan County!"
He said this very skillfully, not only to express his compliment and respect, but also to secretly give Shangguan Yuanrang the title of general. The implication was that he wanted to draw him into the Pingyuan Army.
How could the two Shangguan brothers fail to hear the underlying meaning of his words? Shangguan Yuanji didn't say much, while Shangguan Yuanrang said dissatisfiedly: "I'm just an idler, when did I become a general? If I hadn't known about Pingyuan County this time
If there is trouble and my eldest brother is trapped, I will not rush back all the way."
He was telling the truth. Shangguan Yuanrang had no intention of surrendering to the army at this time. The reason why he came back to Pingyuan County was just to understand the danger in Hengcheng and save his elder brother's life.
Xiao Muqing blushed, rubbed his hands and laughed, looking at Shangguan Yuanji in embarrassment. Shangguan Yuanrang was too arrogant, unreasonably arrogant. He wanted to draw him into the Pingyuan Army to help his side repel the enemy, but he could only start with his brother.
.
Shangguan Yuanji naturally understood what Xiao Muqing meant, but he was not an unreasonable elder brother, nor would he force his brothers to make a certain decision. He was silent for a moment and said: "Yuan Rang, Pingyuan County is our hometown.
The people are our fellow villagers. At this critical moment, a barbarian army of 200,000 invades our county. We should do our best to protect our homeland and ensure the safety of the people!"
Shangguan Yuanrang smiled slightly and said proudly: "Brother, don't worry, as long as I'm here, the barbarians from the feudal state will never step into Hengcheng!"
Hearing what he said, Shangguan Yuanji felt relieved. As long as his brothers were willing to contribute, it didn't matter whether they joined the Pingyuan Army or not.
Xiao Muqing moved the corner of his mouth and wanted to speak, but in the end he held back. He sincerely hoped that Shangguan Yuanrang would join the Pingyuan Army. Now that Zhang Zhou was killed in battle, there was a lack of a regiment commander. If Shangguan Yuanrang could take over this position
, with his outstanding spiritual martial arts, he can completely raise the combat effectiveness of the Pingyuan Army to a higher level, and he can also do greater things in the future. However, Shangguan Yuan makes this man both arrogant and unreasonable. If he is too tight,
I'm afraid it will be counterproductive.
Shangguan Yuanrang looked around, but did not see his two brothers. He asked: "Brother, where are Yuanwu and Yuan Biao?"
"The two of them have gone with the Lord to the expedition to the barbarian capital!"
"Oh?" Xiao Muqing said this. Shangguan Yuanrang didn't believe it, but his elder brother said the same thing, so he couldn't help but not believe it. Could it be that Tang Yin really dared to go deep alone to attack the capital of the barbarian state? This is incredible. At this time,
Shangguan Yuanrang became very interested in Tang Yin and wanted to see what kind of person he was.
He thought so in his heart, but did not say so, and muttered: "This county magistrate is just looking for death himself, and he also wants to drag my two brothers with him. If something happens to Yuan Wu and Yuan Biao, I will never spare him."
!”
Xiao Muqing trembled when he heard this and secretly stuck out his tongue. Shangguan Yuanji's face darkened and he scolded in a low voice: "Yuan Rang, don't talk nonsense, let alone be rude to the adults!"
Seeing that his eldest brother looked unhappy, Shangguan Yuanrang hurriedly bowed his head in response.
Returning to the Shangguan family's mansion in the city, everyone sat down separately. Shangguan Yuan looked east and west, feeling that a lot had changed in his home. He originally thought that his eldest brother had become the deputy county magistrate, and his family would become richer, but he didn't expect the opposite.
, a lot of valuable things in the house were gone, and the number of guards increased, but there were not many servants left. It was obvious that life was not as good as before.
When people become officials, they get richer and richer, while his eldest brother becomes poorer and poorer as he becomes an official. Shangguan Yuanrang didn't know whether he should cry or laugh. He walked around the courtyard with his hands behind his back, shaking his head and sighing from time to time.
Not long after everyone sat down, four corps commanders, Bai Yong, Juno, Guyue, and Li Wei, also came closer from outside, and at the same time they brought the casualty statistics of their own soldiers.
Every time they see the statistics of their own casualties, everyone feels a headache, especially today, after a hard battle throughout the day, the outer city wall was captured by the enemy, and the Pingyuan Army suffered heavy casualties.
There were originally 80,000 soldiers in the five corps. Now there are less than 40,000 soldiers who can take up arms to fight. Most of the casualties are casualties. Even those soldiers who can fight are almost all injured and exhausted. Our combat effectiveness has been sharply reduced.
At this level, can it still withstand the barbarian attack?
Seeing everyone lowering their heads and being silent, Xiao Muqing said seriously: "Our army suffered heavy casualties, and the barbarian army suffered even greater losses. What's more, now that we have Yuan Rang... Brother Yuan Rang assisting us, fending off the enemy will not be a problem!"
Shangguan Yuanji said: "If the troops are really insufficient, I can organize the people in the city to help our army defend the city!"
Xiao Muqing hurriedly shook his head and said: "That's not right! The people have not received formal training, and they have never seen the blood on the battlefield. If the people are allowed to go to the battlefield to fight against the barbarians, it will not only increase casualties, but may also cause a large number of people to flee.
The morale of our army will increase the arrogance of the barbarian soldiers, and the war situation will become even more unfavorable to our army!"
After listening to Xiao Muqing's analysis, Shangguan Yuanji nodded, feeling that what he said made sense. It was okay to ask the common people to help transport city defense facilities, but it was indeed too risky to actually organize the organization to go to the battlefield.
Juno snorted coldly and said, "If the county could send reinforcements, how could Hengcheng be in such trouble?"
His words immediately resonated with everyone. At this time, both sides were exhausted from the fight and were at the end of their war effort. As long as the county sent reinforcements of even 10,000 people, it would be enough to reverse their passive situation.
Everyone was filled with indignation, but only Qiu Zhen knew what was going on. He would not miss the opportunity to arouse everyone's dissatisfaction. He rolled his eyes and echoed: "Yu He is a greedy villain. If we can give him
With a large amount of gold, silver and jewels, he may have sent reinforcements when he was happy. Without money, he would not care about the life and death of our plain army and the people of the plain!"
"This bitch!" Juno clenched his fist and slammed the table down.
Everyone's blood was rising, and their eyes were spitting fire.
Shangguan Yuanrang walked into the house at this time, looked around at everyone, and said quietly: "As soon as the barbarian army retreats, I will go to Shunzhou to get his dog head!"
Shangguan Yuanji frowned, but before he could speak, several regiment commanders had already answered: "Yes! Brother Yuan Rang, we will accompany you when the time comes. If you don't kill Yu He, this dog officer, we will be sorry for the soldiers who died in the battle."
I'm sorry for General Zhang who sacrificed his life for his country!"
Under Qiu Zhen's casual instigation, everyone's hatred for the barbarian army was suddenly transferred to Yu He. At this time, Yu He was still organizing troops in Shunzhou and preparing to reinforce Yancheng. He had no idea that he had become a soldier of the Pingyuan Army at this time.
The target of public criticism.
Shangguan Yuanrang pulled up a chair and sat down and said: "The barbarians are not afraid, and we don't have to stay in the city to defend the city. When the barbarians come to attack the city again tomorrow, I will go out to meet the enemy."
"This..." Xiao Muqing pondered for a moment and said worriedly: "Brother Yuan Rang cannot take it lightly. The barbarian army has a large number of troops. If they go out of the city to fight, I'm afraid..."
"Hmph!" Shangguan Yuanrang sneered, grabbed his three-pointed two-edged sword, and said, "What are you afraid of? To kill an enemy, just stab with the sword, and to kill a group of enemies, just swing the sword.
Even if there are millions of enemy troops, in my eyes they are just cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered!"
These words can be said to be extremely arrogant, but Shangguan Yuanrang is also arrogant enough. On the battlefield, he has the courage to be defeated by ten thousand people. In future battles, he did get the nickname "The enemy of ten thousand people", and was called
Tang Yin was awarded the title of "Invincible General", and he swept across Liuhe with a three-pointed two-edged sword.
