Chapter 485 My maid!

The news that Cui Wei fled to Yecheng alone soon reached the ears of Guo Yi, the prefect of Yecheng.

After confirming that the news was correct, Guo Yi was so anxious that he ran barefoot to Cui Wei's house without even wearing shoes.

As soon as he entered the house, Guo Yi saw Cui Weizheng sitting alone in the courtyard and trembling in despair.

"Good nephew!"

"Good nephew!"

After calling a few times, Cui Wei finally reacted.

Unlike the high-spirited man who had just left Yecheng, Cui Wei's face looked aggrieved at this moment, like a little daughter-in-law who had been bullied.

"Good nephew! What happened?"

Guo Yi was also full of fear at this time.

"It was fine the past two days, why is it like this today?"

"Could it be that Liu Duan, the magistrate of Guantao County, is extremely powerful and a famous general who has never been born before?"

"No……"

"No……"

Cui Wei finally sobered up a bit when he heard Liu Duan's name.

"How could I lose to such a shameless beggar?"

"..."

Cui Wei suddenly stood up and held Guo Yi's hand: "Uncle Guo! You have to help me! I have to mobilize other soldiers in the city! No! Close the city gate quickly!"

"well!"

Guo Yi responded with all his words, and at the same time showed a concerned look: "My dear nephew, what happened? You have to tell your uncle clearly."

"Liu Yilong!"

"Liu Yilong?"

Guo Yi let go of Cui Wei's hand in fright, and looked outside the city in panic: "Is Liu Yilong here?"

"Um."

Cui Wei told Guo Yi about Liu Yilong's defeat on his way back with a bitter look on his face.

However, for the sake of face, Cui Wei did not say that it was his fault in command that led to the defeat of the war, nor did he say that he had abandoned many of his clansmen and fled in haste.

In Cui Wei's words, Liu Yilong became a once-in-a-century military genius. He was braver than Wang Zhenxi, calmer than Tan Daoji, and more offensive than Zhu Lingshi... Anyway, the enemy was too strong, which led to his defeat.

.

"I never expected that King Liu Yilong of Hejian would be such a person!"

Guo Yi also had a bitter taste in his mouth.

No one expected Liu Yilong to arrive so quickly, nor did they expect Liu Yilong to have such military accomplishments that he could easily defeat the private soldiers led by Cui Wei.

"My dear nephew, there are still five thousand troops in the city now. But if Liu Yilong is as powerful as you say, these five thousand men are probably just a drop in the bucket."

"No!"

Cui Wei seemed to have suddenly grasped a life-saving straw.

"Five thousand troops! Plus Yecheng! We will definitely be able to hold on until His Majesty arrives!"

Guo Yi didn't know where Cui Wei's confidence came from, but he also knew that he and Cui Wei were like grasshoppers on a rope... even if the rope didn't seem to be very strong.

"Uncle, I know. My nephew, please take a good rest first. I will immediately order the city gates to be closed and prepare for war."

"Thank you uncle!"

With Guo Yi's support, Cui Wei seemed to have some confidence, and the three souls and six souls that had been washed away by Liu Yilong returned to their skins.

As soon as Guo Yi returned to the governor's house, he ordered his soldiers to drive out all the people in Yecheng and then sealed the city gate.

Yecheng is a large city.

Although the number of people there is not as large as that of Chang'an and Jiankang, there are at least a dozen or two hundred thousand people.

Releasing such a terrifying population will definitely cause a lot of commotion... If nothing else, it will at least consume the food of Wei County and surrounding counties, putting huge pressure on the Song Army's logistics.

Liu Yilong, who was at the Taoist Hall, also cursed him as an unworthy son after learning about the incident.

Compared with Cui Wei, Guo Yi is obviously more sophisticated and knows what his tasks are and what his advantages are.

Once these hundreds of thousands of people escape, the whole of Hebei will no longer be able to live in peace!

"King of Hejian, what should we do?"

Liu Duan, the original magistrate of Guantao County, had been recruited by Liu Yilong as the shogunate to accompany Liu Yilong.

But obviously, even Liu Duan was a little confused about this move and didn't know how to solve it.

"Right now, the only way is to strike first."

Yecheng has a large population, and it will take a lot of time to drive them all out of the city. It is obviously impossible for Guo Yi to drive all these people out in ten days and a half.

"But in this case..."

People around Liu Yilong were hesitant to speak.

In this way, the people of Yecheng can naturally be controlled.

But correspondingly, these people will become a burden to Liu Yilong's tribe.

"King Hejian, let alone feed these people with the rations of our army, it is impossible to even sustain them for a period of time!"

"If you gather these people together but don't give them food..."

Imagine hundreds of thousands of hungry people rushing toward you with their teeth and claws splayed, and anyone can't help but feel terrified.

"I know!"

Liu Yilong pressed his temple: "There is still a lot of food in the Hejian Kingdom. The Guhui Order has ordered the opening of the granary in the Hejian Kingdom to transport the food. The food... should last for ten days."

But what about ten days later?

Yecheng was captured within ten days. Not to mention Liu Yilong, not even Wang Zhen'e and Zhu Lingshi led the troops to boast of Haikou.

Not to mention, the only elite soldiers Liu Yilong can use now are a thousand Liu Song elites, like the county soldiers under Liu Duan. They can defend the city. But if they are to attack the city... I am afraid they will have to fight.

A question mark.

"What would the second brother do if he were here?"

When Liu Yilong had a headache, he unconsciously thought of Liu Yizhen's face.

Deep in his heart, a voice kept telling him that if Liu Yizhen were here, he would definitely be able to suppress this rebellion and break the siege of Hebei.

"If the second brother was here..."

Liu Yilong's eyes suddenly lit up, he stood up suddenly and asked: "Where are the private soldiers of the famous families who were captured just now?"

"It's just being locked up in the barracks."

"Let them all out!"

Liu Yilong was gearing up and seemed a little impatient: "I want to see if this Ye city is really watertight!"

————————

————————

Yecheng.

When Guo Yi was commanding his soldiers to drive the people out of the city, a scout hurriedly came to report: "Sir, Liu Yilong is here!"

This news scared Guo Yi and trembled: "Close the city gate! Close the city gate quickly!"

The people of Yecheng who were about to be driven out just now were shut back into the city by several heavy stone gates. For a while, the streets of Yecheng were filled with chaos and noise.

After Cui Wei learned about Liu Yilong's arrival, he quickly made peace with Guo Yi.

This is different from last time.

This time, Cui Wei put on thick Mingguang armor and covered himself tightly, for fear that any blind arrow would pierce into his delicate flesh.

After seeing Guo Yi, Cui Wei's voice was trembling: "Uncle Guo, Liu Yilong really called?"

Seeing Cui Wei's appearance, Guo Yi's heart sank to the bottom.

But for the sake of the overall situation, Guo Yi still comforted him: "According to the reports from the scouts, Liu Yilong only led more than 3,000 men. With such a small force, I don't think he would dare to attack the city!"

Cui Wei quickly shook his head: "Don't take it lightly! This Liu Yilong is brave in battle, there is no guarantee that he will not attack the city while we are relaxed!"

Guo Yi: "..."

He was really tired at this moment.

In an encounter in the wild, rushing directly to the enemy can be called bravery.
To be continued...
