.In the early morning, the mist lightly covered the city and streets. The Chang'an residents who were used to sleeping late and getting up late had just opened their sleepy eyes. The small vendors who worked hard to support their families had sorted out the supplies and goods for the day and were ready to start their day's life. The door panels of the shops were opened one by one, and the entire Chang'an City seemed to gradually wake up from their sleep.

There was noisy in Jiang's house. Han Mu and Zhang Su's two women were dressed up in a good manner and called more than a dozen personal guards to move them one by one to the carriage. The three of them were talking and laughing, and they looked very relaxed.

The maids serving hurriedly went to report Jiang Wen, who had just put on the court uniform and planned to go to court. When Jiang Wen heard this, he hurried to Han Mu's yard. Sure enough, he saw Han Mu directing his personal guards to carry luggage and items, and said in surprise: "Mr. Han, are you...?"

Han Mu also saw Jiang Wen at this time, and said in a hurry: "Oh, Lord Jiang, I just planned to say goodbye to you, but I didn't expect you to come. It just so happened that I said goodbye to you. You are busy with official business, so don't send me off. We all know the way back."

"What? Say your farewell? Where is Lord Han going?" Jiang Wen asked hurriedly.

"Of course I'm going back to Dajin. My husband said that it won't be possible anyway. It's not interesting to stay here and do nothing. Although it's good, it's not as good as the villagers." Zhang Tongyun said with a smile.

"This..." Jiang Wentou was so big that there was no such thing. He had to go home without even talking to other countries. The envoy of Qiuchi came to Chang'an and hung up for three months. He still waited obediently. In just ten days, Lord Han was in a hurry to stop doing his job and hurried back to the city. Isn't that right?

"This... Lord Han, it's not good to leave like this before the official duties. After you go back, you can't make a mistake in front of your Jin emperor. This is a crime of dereliction of duty and you want to be exiled." Jiang Wen held it in for a long time before he put forward such a sentence of persuasion.

"Oh hahaha." Han Mu laughed at the sky, as if he had a big face on the stage. After laughing, he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Lord Jiang, for my concern. As a deputy official of the Great Jin Dynasty, I was punished by the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty. I might be exiled to the border and lost my wealth, but it is better than eating here and waiting for death. Although I am offering food and food, I am worried that I will continue to know that I am waiting for negotiations. If I can't wait for three or five years, the Emperor of Great Jin will think that I have defected to the enemy and betrayed, which is the crime of raiding the family and extermination of the clan. I am free and happy here. I have lost my life for dozens of people in my family. Can Lord Jiang pay me a compensation?"

Jiang Wen smiled and said, "That won't be possible, how could this happen? Maybe in a few days, we can negotiate. Lord Wang Meng is busy with other urgent matters and will definitely not take three or five years. Lord is ridiculously joking."

Han Mu said seriously: "Who is joking with you? The green mountains remain unchanged and the green water flows forever. Maybe we will meet one day, so say goodbye!" After saying that, he clasped his fists, turned his head and ordered his guards to catch the carriage and go to the outside world.

Jiang Wen hurriedly stopped the car and shouted, "Mr. Han, don't do this."

Han Mu glared at his eyes and said with a high voice: "Jiang Dahonglu, can you force yourself to keep your money?"

Jiang Wen said angrily: "No... This fact is inappropriate. Please wait a moment. I will report to the emperor and the king. How about asking them to discuss with the adults quickly?"

Han Mu sneered, "You are so your ears are so calloused that I have heard. Don't talk too much and get out of here. I treat you as a friend, and don't mess with me to treat you as an enemy."

Mrs. Jiang, Su Hui and others who rushed over after hearing the news arrived here. Seeing that Han Mu insisted on doing this, his hands were already covered with scabbards on his waist. Mrs. Jiang hurriedly whispered a few words in Jiang Wen's ear and pulled him aside.

Su Hui stared at Han Mu and others with her phoenix eyes, and her nervousness was beyond words. She was a smart woman. Han Mu and others returned to China with such a big fanfare. Not to mention the borders of the Great Qin, even Chang'an City might not be able to go anywhere from two streets.

Han Mu met her eyes and saw her melancholy look, she suddenly squeezed her eyes narrowly. Su Hui was embarrassed and understood in her heart that Han Mu was doing it, blushing and lowering her head, which was really "the most gentleness that bowed her head".

Han Mu shouted loudly: "Depart."

Seven or eight carriages started at the same time, left Yongfufang Street, met with Xie Xuan and five hundred people coming towards him, and turned left and went to Tonghua Gate with great fanfare. Yongfufang and Tonghua Gate were very close, and they were only separated by a street. In less than a moment, they saw the tall Tonghua Gate Tower in Chang'an City.

...

The beacon tower was lit all the way, like a fire dragon, winding for hundreds of miles; in the early morning, the last beacon smoke of Sakuyama, located in the southeast of Pengcheng, was ignited. In the dark night before dawn, red light shone for miles, and the distance was like a sacred fire burning.

The sentry on duty at the south gate of Pengcheng had already seen the burning beacon fire. The soldiers reported to the inspector stationed at the south gate. The lieutenant dared not delay the horse and rushed into the county government, and reported to the ward and county magistrate Zou Jinhai. Zou Jinhai was originally a Xuzhou lieutenant. Because of his strict military rigor and capable work, he was finally able to serve as the chief general to guard the small border town for several years. It was the time to make achievements. He was still upset that the enemy had not been able to move south from Pengcheng and could not get a chance to show his skills. When he received the report, he actually burst into laughter.

The inspector asked in a hurry, "Why is the general laughing?"

Zou Jinhai patted the captain's shoulder and said, "Brother, I've been so tired in the past few years, and the opportunity for promotion has been here."

The captain said, "Looking at the shape of the beacon, three piles of rose into the sky in a row, one pile is a number of three thousand, three piles are a number of nine thousand, and we only have four thousand defenders in the nine thousand Qin soldiers, which is a bit difficult."

Zou Jinhai smiled again and said, "What is military merit? Is it a merit if ten people kill one person? One person kills ten? This is a merit, and it is a great merit. Moduo thought about it and quickly notify the four cities' lieutenant to come to our office for a meeting to discuss countermeasures. This time I will lead everyone to be promoted. After you have worked for a long time, you should have a deputy general and a side general."

The captain has been following Zou Jinhai for several years, and has never seen Zou Jinhai do anything extreme. Although he is relaxed in his mouth, he is ready, and the details are unambiguous. He didn't ask much questions at the moment, and turned around and went out to summon everyone.

The small hall of Pengcheng County Government was full of seats, and it felt quite unhappy to be pulled out of the warm quilt. However, when they heard that the Qin soldiers were about to arrive soon, everyone's eyes were immediately wide open, some were terrified, some were excited, and some were strange.

Zou Jinhai sat in the middle, and the four deputy generals Chen Zhongshi, the four chief magistrates and the yamen runners, and the foreman of the county magistrate, were all sitting casually in every corner. They followed the generals to hold meetings and didn't care much about the arrangements of these seats.

"Everyone, have you seen the beacon fire in Saki Mountain? Three piles of red and burning brightly." Zou Jinhai said with a smile.

"It's going to fight, okay, the birds have faded out in the past two years. I'm training every day, and I haven't even seen a single bird's hair from a Qin man. I'm so anxious." The loud voice of the Xicheng inspector Fan Xiong was so loud that everyone's earwax was dancing in their ear canals.

Zou Jinhai laughed and said, "Do you fight too little? You have a lot of trouble in Xiying, and you are the soldiers under your elder Fan who drink and cause trouble."

Fan Xiong's rough face showed a shy feeling, and he muttered: "My bastards are a little unruly, but when they fight, one battalion will overtake their three battalions."

"Ahem, how do you speak? Lao Xiong, when our three battalions in the southeast, south and north do not exist? Be careful when speaking." The other battalions' captains stopped doing it.

"What's wrong? I'm not convinced and wait for dawn to practice in the school?" Fan Xiong was absolutely unambiguous in this regard.

"Fuck," Zou Jinhai pointed at Fan Xiong and cursed: "Are you here to discuss matters or make trouble? Be careful that I will deduct your salary for half a year." Fan Xiong lowered his head angrily and said nothing, and everyone laughed.

"General Zou, how come these Qin soldiers came from the south? It's strange." Deputy General Chen Zhongshi said to all the questions in everyone's hearts.

Zou Jinhai smiled and said, "No matter where he came from? Even if he jumped out of the stone, we caught it this time, how can we fight this time? Everyone talks about it."

Everyone started to talk, and Zou Jinhai listened with a smile. Some of them proposed to defend the city, some said to set up ambush at the foot of Saki Mountain, some said they should dig traps and trenches around the city, and so on. In the end, they fought red and did not come up with a specific strategy.

Fan Xiong was angry again and said, "Don't make a noise, we are all worried. General Zou is playing with us. He didn't hold a meeting to discuss the war, and then he did what we discussed. He told me, "Let's shut up, the general will fight as he says, so he can save his brains."

When everyone thought about it, it was so reasonable that they all stopped listening to Zou Jinhai's speech.

Zou Jinhai laughed and said, "Old Fan, you guys are lazy. When did I be so stubborn and unbearable as you said? But this time I have to take my own initiative; I have adopted all the methods you said...."

Everyone was stunned, their thoughts were a little too twisted. What did I mean to make my own decisions? But I used all your methods. Isn’t this a contradiction?

"The beacon fire came all the way, and everyone knew that the south end of the beacon fire tower was Xuzhou Prefecture. They first discovered the enemy. Maybe they were trying to figure out that they were coming to my Pengcheng. The beacon fire was only 800 miles away. We should prepare early, right?"

Everyone nodded and said yes.

"So will General Li of Xuzhou sit still? I will never do it. I guess they have sent troops to follow the enemy north at this moment, so we will be able to fight. General Li Changxiong knows that the enemy has a total of 5,000, and they will have to send at least 10,000 troops to pursue him. All we have to do is to block them, attack them from front and back, and defeat the Qin soldiers in one fell swoop."

"My sir, do you want us to set up an ambush in Sakiyama?" asked the Captain of the Beicheng.

"No, we must take the initiative to welcome you and give you a head-on attack. If we wait for them to arrive at Saki Mountain, the Qin soldiers will have many choices. One is to flee east, go around Saki Mountain to the north, cross the river, and the other is to go east and drill into the chaotic mountains without a trace. If we take the initiative to fight to meet the mouth of the Yushui River, block the Qin soldiers there, and there is a flat horse, where will the Qin people escape?" Zou Jinhai smiled.

Everyone took a breath. How brave he was. Four thousand soldiers went to block nine thousand people. Isn’t this asking for death?

Seeing everyone's appearance, Zou Jinhai knew what everyone was thinking, and said calmly: "Youdao is a master of art and courage. There are two feasible things about this matter. First, the Qin people wanted to attack Pengcheng while I was unprepared, but they never expected that we would attack him head-on. This time we attacked him unprepared. Second, there are only two places to cross the estuary of Yushui River. Although it is early spring, the river water is cold, and the concern of crossing the river can be eliminated. These two places can cross the estuary.

One east and one west, the east is close to Lu County, and the enemy must choose a sparsely populated place in Xidukou to avoid being known. We can set up an ambush at Xidukou. We have few people, and the trees on the north bank can hide traces. When the enemy has crossed over a thousand people, they will attack thunder and strangle them on the south bank and drag them down. If this is not possible, we will no longer have to fight. We just need to delay until General Li’s army arrives, and then we can drive all the Qin people down from Yushui to feed fish and turtles."

Everyone was excited when they heard this. General Zou was so familiar with the terrain that he was truly a good general, and everyone was convinced.

"Do you still have any opinions? If not, prepare quickly. Half an hour later, the army will leave the city and need to rush to Yushui to set up an ambush before Si Shi. There is no need to bring much food and grass in this battle. All light-fitted, with more bows and arrows, and more crossbow beds. The more far away the equipment, the better. Let's give him a crossbar to fight wolves." Zou Jinhai's tone was humorous, revealing a strong confidence.
