Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter 375: The Situation is Distress
"You talk nonsense all day long, and you know girls all day long."
Lu Jiuzhang glared at the young prince Zhou Zheng.
"Hey, doesn't it mean I don't have a wife yet? No, it should be said to be a princess!" Young Prince Zhou Zheng said with a smile, "Actually, my identity as a second-generation prince is very embarrassing, and there is a high probability that the throne will not be passed down."
"Instead of marrying their daughters to me, some powerful officials from the frontiers might as well marry the children of some high officials with potential or backing, and through marriage, we can advance and retreat together."
"You are an ordinary lady, but she is not worthy of the prince's palace."
It is so difficult to find a wife these days.
There are some wealthy businessmen in Shuizhou County who are very wealthy.
Such a rich father-in-law will have no shortage of money to spend in the rest of his life.
"Then go!" Lu Jiuzhang nodded, "I also want to meet the scholars in Shuizhou County."
The meeting will be tomorrow afternoon.
Today I have a short rest and attend the cultural conference before continuing my journey north.
…
Shuizhou County, County Sheriff's Mansion.
Zou Jingwei is sitting on a high position, and below him are eight officials, as well as the county magistrate and the county lieutenant.
"Everyone, everyone must know about the invasion of the Demon Realm."
Zou Jingwei said, "I also received a secret letter from the new emperor, requesting our Shuizhou County to increase troops in Jiangshui County and cooperate with the old general Xuan Wuyun to guard Jiangshui County."
"On the one hand, if Pei Yunzhang is defeated, he can be wiped out in Jiangshui County."
"On the other hand, if the demon clan defeats Pei Yunzhang and takes advantage of the situation to move north, Jiangshui County will be used as the first line of defense to stop the demon clan army."
"The new emperor wants Shuizhou County to increase its troops by at least 50,000, plus 2,000 ninth-grade warriors, 580-grade warriors, 377-grade warriors, and fifty sixth-grade warriors."
This is an order from the new emperor.
As soon as he finished speaking, the county captain became embarrassed, "Two thousand ninth-grade warriors are no problem. Five-hundred-and-eighth-grade warriors can get it if they work hard. But three hundred and seventh-grade warriors are a bit difficult. Fifty sixth-grade warriors can get it."
It is an impossible task for a warrior."
"The total number of sixth-grade warriors in the entire Shuizhou County is only thirty or forty. Including some hidden warriors, it may be enough. But if all these warriors are transferred to Jiangshui County, our Shuizhou County
what to do?"
"Shuizhou County is not good at martial arts, and most of them are literati."
"If Jiangshui County cannot stop the monsters and those fierce monsters march straight in, then our Shuizhou County will be doomed."
"That's true!" Some employees echoed.
All sixth-grade warriors cannot be sent to Jiangshui County.
If this is the case, Shuizhou County will be empty.
"I drafted a report and prepared to send it to Jingzhao Mansion. It is planned to send 3,000 ninth-level martial arts warriors, 600 eighth-level warriors, 250 seventh-level warriors, and 25 sixth-level warriors.
"
"Add some to the ninth- and eighth-grade warriors, and subtract some to the seventh- and sixth-grade warriors."
Zou Jingwei said, "In this way, it can reduce our pressure a little bit."
After saying that, Zou Jingwei looked at Li Zhengyi again, "I wonder what Mr. Li has to say?"
What advice can Mr. Li, who has broken his arm, have?
He was eager to send out all the strong men in Shuizhou County. In this case, there would be no strong men in the county, and the ruins sect behind him could easily take over the entire county.
But he couldn't show it.
"The Sheriff's decision is right," Li Zhichen agreed.
"Master Li, are you a little absent-minded? Is it because of the broken arm?" Zou Jingwei said, "Don't worry, I have also recorded this incident in the book."
"After the Holy Spirit sees this, he will definitely seek justice for you."
"Thank you, Lord Sheriff!" Li Cheng nodded.
"I wonder what Mr. Li thinks about the invasion of monsters?" Zou Jingwei seemed to be pestering Li Zhicheng, insisting that he tell him something.
"I wonder what the governor asked me to say?" Li Cheng asked rhetorically.
"Of course, let's talk about what Pei Yunzhang would do! If Li Zhenzhang were that Pei Yunzhang, what would Li Zhanzhang do?" Zou Jingwei asked.
"this……"
Li Zheng was already a little absent-minded, but now that Zou Jingwei mentioned it, he had to think of countermeasures.
After a while, Li Zheng took a deep breath and slowly said, "If I were Pei Yunzhang, I should reach a condition with the demon clan and give up a county's territory so that the demon clan can march straight in!"
"In this case, with minimal losses, the demon clan will go north."
"The next step of the demon clan should be to attack Jiangshui County directly."
"The Zhou Dynasty will also increase its troops in Jiangshui County, and there will definitely be a war between the two sides."
"If the Zhou Dynasty wins, it will definitely be a tragic victory. By then, Pei Yunzhang can gather a large army to attack Jiangshui County, and he will surely capture Jiangshui County in one fell swoop."
"If the demon clan wins and continues to advance straight in, the next place to attack should be Shuizhou County. This place is the lifeblood of the Zhou Dynasty."
"Pei Yunzhang can leave this for later! Because the Zhou Dynasty will definitely intercept them all the way. Once the demon clan is defeated, Pei Yunzhang can get a big advantage and invade the territory captured by the demon clan."
"So, the status of our Shuizhou County is very embarrassing. After the Zhou Dynasty won, Pei Yunzhang took advantage of the situation and attacked Jiangshui County. After winning Jiangshui County, his next target will be Shuizhou County."
"The demon clan has won, and the next target is also Shuizhou County!"
"Therefore, what I mean is that we will spare no effort to fully support Jiangshui County, and we must not let Jiangshui County lose."
Li Zheng slowly analyzed.
I have to say that his analysis makes sense.
In these situations, Pei Yunzhang from the three southern counties would definitely not be able to confront the demon clan head-on. The only way to do this would be to give up one county and preserve the remaining two counties.
Li Zheng also has his own thoughts.
Once all the troops are stationed in Jiangshui County.
Then when you stand up on your own, there will be no pressure.
If something really happened in Jiangshui County, he might still be able to catch it.
One step ahead of Pei Yunzhang and occupy Jiangshui County.
In this way, he has the territory of two counties!
Based on these two counties, you can attack in all directions, and then establish a territory spanning four or five counties, dominate the territory, and seek hegemony.
"What you said makes sense, then I will revise this memorial and do my best to support the old general Xuan Wuyun." Governor Zou nodded, "If something goes wrong in Jiangshui County, Shuizhou County will be next.
"
"I just hope that the old general Xuan Wuyun can win, while retaining his strength, defeating Pei Yunzhang, and taking back the three southern counties in one fell swoop."
Zou Jingwei’s idea is very good.
But he didn't know that Li Zongli in the county governor's house had already begun to plot rebellion.
…
On this day, the counties and cities around Jiangshui County began to dispatch warriors and warriors to join Jiangshui County.
Apart from the three southern counties, a large number of warriors gathered in Jiangshui County.
Even warriors from outside the Third and Fourth Counties came to Jiangshui County to fight to the death with the demon clan!
