"The news from the Imperial Capital is that Cangxu City is now in chaos. What on earth is going on?"
Yang Ji thought for a moment and continued to ask.
"Can't your lord see it?"
Hu Tieyan smiled bitterly and looked around:
"The houses here have been severely damaged. Although Cangxu City was in chaos before, it has not reached this level. On the contrary, various commercial activities are still quite developed. There are still many traders coming here from various places.
But now, a large number of merchants have fled, and the population of Cangxu City is now less than one-third of its previous size."
"Also, although barbarians would invade in the past, they usually only happened once in a long time. And usually in the middle of the night. It has never happened before that they invaded before it was completely dark like now. Moreover, the time is getting longer and longer.
The earlier they come, the more frequent they come.”
"I heard that all this is related to an article in the Emperor's Master. It is said to be written by a martial artist from Taiyuan Continent. It said what happened to Cangxu City that led to the current situation."
Yang Ji was still listening to Hu Tieyan's previous words, but when he heard his last words, Yang Ji and Great Asura were shocked.
"It's true that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Before you even arrive, they have already put the blame for Ann's incident on your head. This is not good news for you."
The great Asura said with some worry.
"Soldiers are coming to block it, and water is coming and the soil is flooding. At least I can still guard. In Cangxu City, this is the highest official position. This matter cannot affect me."
Yang Ji said calmly.
"This is best. But it's always good to be careful. The only good news now is that although they know your article and even know that he is from Taiyuanzhou, they haven't been able to connect this matter with your name.
Together."
Dao of Great Asura.
"Um."
Yang Ji nodded, knowing that he couldn't ask anything else from Hu Tieyan, so he waved his hand:
"You go down first. In addition, give me the order to go down. I will summon all the captains, captains, and military attachés in Cangxu City to hold a town meeting. Tell them that everyone must arrive."
"Yes, I understand!"
At this time, Hu Tieyan had already called Yang Ji an honorific. He turned around and walked towards the door. After walking a few steps, he seemed to have reached something, and Hu Tieyan suddenly stopped.
"Anything else?"
Yang Ji stood in front of the hall and asked, separated by a table of hundreds of generals.
"The barbarians are harassing frequently now. After today, they will definitely come tomorrow. Cangxu City is now leaderless. I hope that you can work hard and summon the defense of Cangxu City to establish a defense against the barbarians as soon as possible. This is a property of
I’m just talking privately as a family, and I hope it can be of help to you adults.”
Hu Tieyan turned around, saluted, and said sincerely.
"I know. You don't have to worry about this. I'll think about it myself!"
Yang Ji said calmly, but his mind drifted to a place hundreds of miles away.
…
In the night, with stars dotted, a group of ferocious birds of the barbarians waved their wings and flew across the sky like shooting stars. Below the sky, there was a dense primitive jungle.
These jungles are covered with big trees and ivy. Unlike anywhere else in the Han Dynasty, every ancient tree here has seven or eight people hugging it. It is hundreds of feet high, and some can even reach thousands of feet, with clouds touching the sun.
, the canopy of each tree spreads out, and a single tree forms a forest, covering an area of more than ten acres, which is amazing.
And those ivy roots are green, with green leaves sprouting out, covering every place in the jungle. The small ones are as thick as a baby's fist arm, while the big ones are as thick as an adult's thigh. One root, one root after another.
, criss-crossing and traveling through every place.
The tangle of ivy and thorns makes these jungle areas difficult to navigate. It is difficult even for people to enter, let alone horses.
A group of ferocious barbarian birds flew past the primeval jungle, and no one noticed the four "venomous giant bees" following them behind.
"It turns out this is the primitive jungle!"
At this time, Yang Ji's mind was connected with the poisonous giant bees. Through the eyes of these giant bees, he secretly looked at this land of virgins. In the wilderness, every leaf, every vine, and every tree revealed
Strong breath of life.
This kind of life energy is rich and pure, and it is not found anywhere else in the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty failed to hunt the wilderness, and these primitive jungles with tenacious vitality took a huge credit.
"Bah!"
The screams of ferocious birds came from the front. Yang Ji accelerated his speed and controlled four poisonous giant bees to follow carefully. There is a trick in the art of war called "play hard to get". Yang Ji's poisonous giant bees came from Cangxu City.
The one who was released never showed up, but followed behind, tracking all the way, and finally arrived at the wild primitive jungle.
"Hit the snake seven inches". If you want to deal with the barbarians, you must find out the origin of these air riders, their habitat, and the place where they meet.
This is also the reason why Yang Ji did not send out the poisonous giant bees to alert them.
"Gulika!..."
There were bursts of rushing sounds from the front, as if the barbarian warriors were exchanging something. Soon, the originally hundreds of aerial cavalry teams suddenly split into two and flew in two different directions.
Yang Ji hesitated for a moment, then quickly divided the bee swarm into two teams and flew forward with the two teams.
Continuing forward, after a while, the barbarian air cavalry team divided into groups again, from two to four, into four teams. Yang Ji once again divided into two giant bees, each following a team.
Moving forward, the number of teams became eight.
Yang Ji hesitated for a moment and could only choose four of them. He followed those four teams until they reached the barbarian tribes deep in the jungle.
After detecting the location of these barbarian tribes, Yang Ji quickly withdrew his mind, leaving only a few giant bees dormant nearby, guarding, and probing.
…
The sun rises and the moon sets, and the night passes quickly.
The news that a new city guard had appeared in Cangxu City flew out quickly like wings. According to the usual practice, Yang Ji was supposed to be in the guard's mansion to appease the garrison military attachés.
However, from sunrise to sundown, from sundown to noon... even the lunch time passed. Except for the two junior captains, the governor's mansion of Youda was deserted, and no one came to report!
A group of soldiers from the main office of the mansion lined up on both sides, lowering their heads and saying nothing. Although no one said anything, everyone could feel the embarrassment.
Even a person with an indifferent nature like Ghost Alchemist felt extremely embarrassed. From time to time he looked at Yang Ji on the stage and hesitated to speak.
On the first day of taking office, something like this happened but not the instructions. This was definitely a huge blow to Yang Ji's prestige as a guard.
He knew that the situation in Cangxu City was difficult, but Yang Ji did not expect that it would be such a difficult method!
Now, the soldiers on the left and right could no longer stand, and each one of them was thinking about running away.
"boom!"
Yang Ji rarely lost his temper, but at three o'clock in the morning, he finally couldn't help but hit the table with a slap in the face. The table was almost broken:
"Where's Hu Tieyan? Call Hu Tieyan over!"
Hu Tieyan came very quickly, and arrived at the governor's mansion in just a short time. There were layers of sweat on his forehead, and he looked like he was tired from running around, as if he had been running all the time.
The atmosphere in the guard's mansion was very wrong. Hu Tieyan felt something was wrong as soon as he came in. He also knew what was going on and lowered his head, not even daring to raise it.
"Hey!"
Seeing Hu Tieyan in Captain's black armor, Yang Ji calmed down, and the anger in his heart was not that strong. He was originally worried that Hu Tieyan had stabbed him on the surface and in the back, and was doing him both positive and negative things, but he actually dared to show up, and he knew it
If you are wrong, it means that things are not as you imagined.
"Let me ask you, have you delivered all the messages I asked you to deliver yesterday?"
Yang Jidao. The first thing he suspected was this.
According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, within a city, the guard has the greatest power. Especially in border areas, governance and military power are integrated.
As the guard of Cangxu City, he has the power to control all the soldiers and horses of Cangxu City. Everyone must obey his orders.
"Back to my lord, my subordinates have already received the news. After yesterday, I sent soldiers to each city to deliver orders. I can guarantee that the entire city should be aware of the news that the guard has taken office."
Hu Tieyan was sweating profusely. Even yesterday when he faced the barbarian aerial cavalry, he had never been so embarrassed or so hasty. He usually had a clear conscience, but he obviously messed up this matter.
"They didn't even get it even if it was conveyed?"
Yang Ji didn't believe it.
"Well, the military ranks of my subordinates are not enough to control the captains. Therefore, I don't know what the captains are thinking. But the news from my subordinates has indeed reached them."
Hu Tieyan said sincerely.
Yang Ji suddenly fell silent. There are three levels of captaincy, and Hu Tieyan is only the lowest first-level captain. There are second-level and third-level high-level captains above him.
In border war areas, all positions are one level higher than those in the interior. Hu Tieyan, the captain, has several heads above him. Not only does he have no control over his superiors, but he has to be controlled by them.
There were so many military orders, and he summoned all the military attachés in the name of the new guard, but no one listened to the announcement, not even a single person. This was something Yang Ji had never thought of before.
"To fight against the outside world, we must first settle down the inside." The barbarians must be dealt with. But the most urgent task, the first thing to do is probably to unite the three thousand unruly slugs in Cangxu City and merge these scattered forces into one ball.
Then there was the power to deal with the barbarians.
"Who has the highest rank here?"
Yang Ji suddenly asked.
"Master Zhang Yiyan!"
Hu Tieyan replied subconsciously. As soon as the words came out, he trembled and suddenly understood. The chaos in Cangxu City did not start from the hands of Master Yang in front of him.
The best way to deal with such a chaotic situation is to cut through the mess quickly. For Yang Ji, the best way to "cut the mess" is to "kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."
