Chapter 20, Nanshan is in an emergency, fighting against the barbarians
In October of the ninth year of Hongguang, the county government in Anding County was busy. Officials were coming in and out one after another, looking a little busy.
Chen Hongyu was sitting in the study wearing a looser robe.
It has been more than two months since he came to Anding, but he has not made any big moves. Usually, some insignificant government affairs are basically left to the county magistrate and the boss to complete.
“If you want to achieve political achievements when you are an official in the decentralized areas, you need to build water conservancy projects and expand schools.
Due to the special geographical location of Anding County, it is facing the crisis of barbarian plunder, so I am afraid that it can also add a defense against barbarians.
Now that winter has entered, there is no need to worry about building water conservancy projects and expanding schools for the time being. What we have to face now are the barbarian issues."
The barbarians in Wushan generally live in the form of tribes, and probably due to factors such as the living environment, almost all the barbarians are soldiers.
Coupled with the Wushan environment and other reasons, if the high-level Confucian cultivators do not take action, it will be impossible to destroy them with just this small amount of manpower.
After all, people like Shi Feng Jinshi can already unlock part of the world's ban on their own, use part of their strength, and combine with the army, they are simply invincible.
"It's a pity that I am only a real Jinshi now, but the distraction in Daqian is about to break through. Once the distraction breaks through, it will not be difficult to be a Jinshi in this world."
Just as he was thinking, a voice suddenly sounded in panic.
"Report, there is a small group of barbarians invading Nanshan Township."
Seeing the soap official who suddenly rushed in in a panic, Chen Hongyu frowned slightly.
"It's true that Cao Cao has arrived and was thinking about these barbarian affairs. I didn't expect that he has already arrived!"
He also knew the situation in Nanshan Township. It was relatively close to Wushan and the three powerful manors were not here.
Due to the combination of various factors, it was expected that these barbarians would choose soft persimmons.
"Prepare your horses and head to Nanshan!"
"Ah?" A trace of confusion flashed in the Zao official's eyes, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions and headed directly towards the county government stables.
Chen Hongyu didn't care about this and went straight back to the bedroom to change into some smart clothes.
In the Wu Dynasty, there is also the saying of the six arts of a gentleman - etiquette, music, shooting, charioteering, calligraphy, and numeracy.
Among them, "Book" and "Li" are the most important foundations of Confucianism and Taoism, followed by "Shu" and "Music".
As for the two things of "improving" and "shooting", due to the long-lasting peace in the world and the ban on the outside world, their importance has somewhat declined, and ordinary civil servants hardly attach much importance to these two arts.
Only those Confucian cultivators in the military can be proficient in these two arts.
Logically speaking, he, the top scholar, should not be very proficient in these two arts, and due to the ban on heaven and earth, his talent cannot be used to a certain extent.
However, in Da Qian, he and Wang Mu rode horses to conquer the world. There was no problem with these two skills. Coupled with the strength of his actual title of Juren, the combat power he exerted was very impressive.
After changing his clothes and taking his weapons, Chen Hongyu led three squads of county police officers and headed towards Nanshan.
"We ordered County Prime Minister Zhou Yang to take charge of the county seat and handle affairs! County Lieutenant Du Ming went to find three families for support."
Although it is a bit hard to say, in Anding County, the hidden strength of the three powerful families in Anding County combined to even surpass the county soldiers.
Moreover, the low-level generals among the county soldiers also have complicated connections with the three powerful families.
However, Chen Hongyu is just here to get gold plating. He only needs to make political achievements and then leave.
He has no idea of ​​"daring to change the sun and the moon to a new sky". What's more, given the current situation in Anding County, it is the best choice for these people to take shelter from powerful men and become tenants.
Nanshan Township is not far from the county seat. When Dawu seized land from the barbarians to establish Anding County, in order to better resist the barbarians' whipping of county government officials, the county seat was relatively close to Wushan.
So in just an hour, Chen Hongyu had already arrived in Nanshan Township.
Although Nanshan Township is called a township, it does not look like the towns in the prosperous and peaceful land of Wu.
The place where the township government is located is a huge fort.
At this time, Chen Hongyu had just arrived at Nanshan and could see densely packed barbarians surrounding Wubao, trying to break into it.
On top of Wubao, soldiers from Nanshan Township and some support point county soldiers struggled to resist.
"We have more than a thousand soldiers in Anding County, but the barbarians outside only have more than 400 people. Even if their combat power is incomparable, they will not fall into such a situation."
At this moment, Wang You had already received information about the personnel hidden outside Wubao.
"Magistrate, the barbarians near Anding have gone crazy this time, and they have come out to attack various places in large numbers.
Even the three powerful families were attacked by the barbarians, and the situation was somewhat difficult, so some county soldiers rushed over."
A trace of anger emerged in Chen Hongyu's heart. Although he had only been in Anding for two months and his foundation was still shallow, he had a good relationship with the three powerful families through matchmaking at home.
However, after all, the foundation is still a bit shallow.
Originally, Da Wu had the means to deliver messages, and these county soldiers should have been able to rush to Nanshan as soon as possible to resolve the crisis here.
However, because they were concerned about the safety of their own homes, they split up to go to the rescue. Fortunately, the county soldiers and generals knew the importance and left some troops here to help Nanshan resist the barbarians.
He was angry because these county soldiers and generals did not respect military orders. The three powerful families were powerful, and those barbarians would definitely be unable to do anything to them for a while.
If these county soldiers spend a little time to resolve the crisis in Nanshan first, the next thing will be easier to handle.
Of course, it is also possible that they deliberately created this situation so that the people of Nanshan would not be harmed and feel the crisis. There were various plans or other things that he could not figure out for a while.
But at this time, the most important thing is to clear out the barbarians in Nanshan, and this barbarian invasion is an opportunity for them to establish their own power.
While he was thinking in his mind, Chen Hongyu and hundreds of government officials had been discovered by the barbarians.
But perhaps due to the number of people, the barbarians only came in nearly a hundred people and did not take them seriously.
A coldness flashed in Chen Hongyu's eyes as he bent his bow and set an arrow, and then the energy in his body began to circulate.
"Whoosh!" An arrow flew out and shot directly towards the little leader of the barbarian team coming towards them.
"Pfft!" The arrow flew directly into the little leader's eye socket, causing the surrounding barbarians to become slightly confused.
"Send the message and let the county soldiers and rural soldiers in Wubao attack together!"
After Chen Hongyu finished his instructions, he shot several arrows in succession to kill several small leaders.
At this time, the barbarians were already close to him. Chen Hongyu directly drew his sword and rushed out on his horse.
"County magistrate, be careful!" Seeing Chen Hongyu leading the way, Wang You and other government officials looked shocked.
Swords and swords are silent in the battlefield. Now that the world is closed, the ordinary people who have been sealed do not have much power.
What's more, in their impression, these imperial examination scholars and county magistrates were generally poor in physical fitness and fighting skills. At this time, Chen Hongyu rushed out directly, which made them worried.
However, the next scene changed their views.
Either with swords or with fists and kicks, Chen Hongyu was invincible among these barbarians by virtue of his physical body that was beyond the reach of ordinary people through the operation of his talents.
One person and one sword directly disrupted the formation, making it easier for the officials behind to work together to strangle them.
"This is a military fighting technique!" Wang You looked at Chen Hongyu in the distance in shock.
He had spent some time in the military, so he knew some military fighting techniques.
Nowadays, Chen Hongyu used all his distractions to sum up some military killing sword skills during the Daqian campaign, and he also used some military fighting techniques.
Although the internal methods of qi and blood movement are very different, the external style of moves is not far from each other.
At this time, Chen Hongyu was about to kill this small group of barbarians.
Suddenly, there was a surge of majestic energy and blood around him, and a barbarian corpse that was originally lying on the ground suddenly stood up and chopped off his horse with a long knife.
"Bang!" The war horse didn't have time to react. A pair of hind legs separated directly, and the horse fell heavily to the ground.
