Including Mu Yangling, there were fifty-five people in total, and only nine survived in the end.

When Mu Shi brought people to find Liu Xuan and the others, three of them were already dying. Liu Xuan lost too much blood and had passed out of shock. Mu Yangling looked at them and said without sadness or joy, "Let them find a doctor. Whether they can survive depends on God's will."

Liu Zhuang hugged Liu Xuan, his face was full of tears, "It's come to this point, it's come to this point, Ah Xuan, you should be more energetic and wake up."

Qi Haoran admired that they were able to kill Jin Bing instead of running away blindly, and waved to his subordinates: "Hurry up and find the military doctor, give me good medicine, and put it in my name."

This time, eighty-nine people died in the war in Linshan Village, but after seeing the slaughtered village and the empty county town, the people in Linshan Village can only feel lucky.

Qi Haoran couldn't be with them, he just called two soldiers to send them to the Fucheng. Along the way, the disaster victims continued to join in. By the time they arrived at the Fucheng, nearly 2,000 disaster-stricken people had already followed behind Linshan Village.

Suddenly so many people flocked to Xingzhou Prefecture, Wu Shancai, the prefect of Xingzhou Prefecture, and He Bao, the magistrate of Shunzheng County, hurriedly brought people over.

Wu Shancai was worried that so many victims would enter the city, and was about to close the gates, but the four gates were guarded by Qi Xiuyuan's people, and he could not command them at all.

The victims were brought back by soldiers from the West Camp, and the guards let them in without even thinking about it.

Wu Shancai was furious, and shouted: "What does Qi Xiuyuan want to do? Disorderly government won't work? With so many disaster victims coming in, what about safety and food?"

He Bao glanced at him, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I heard that General Qi is in the city, why don't you ask him?"

Wu Shancai choked, the barbarians suddenly attacked the city last night, he was ordered to close the south city gate tightly, and shut Qi Xiuyuan out of the city gate. At that time, Qi Xiuyuan dared to jump up the city gate and kill him all the way to his mansion, dragging him to Xingcheng Pass to face him Barbarian, the barbarian was able to come down only after he retreated, how dare he pluck his beard?

Seeing that he was quiet, He Bao stopped talking.

At this time, in the general's mansion, Qi Xiuyuan issued orders continuously, leaving only one battalion to guard the pass, and the second and third battalions went out to rescue the people.

He also knew about the large number of disaster victims pouring into Fucheng. Qi Xiuyuan pondered for a moment, then said to Rong Xuan: "Wu Shancai is still suspected, I don't feel relieved to hand over the disaster victims to him, you take someone to talk to him, just say Xiying I am willing to share the burden for the government, starting today, the safety of the city will be entrusted to our soldiers."

Rong Xuan raised his eyebrows, "I'm afraid Wu Shan won't agree, isn't this putting life and death in our hands?"

"If you don't agree, you have to agree," Qi Xiuyuan was full of anger, "I was just transferred out of the city, and the Hu people attacked the city. If it weren't for our special contact information, I would be in Xingyuan mansion now. When I know the news, Xingchengguan will only I am afraid that it has already been breached, as a defender, what do you think will happen to me?"

Rong Xuan also suspected that someone was in collusion with the Hu people. It was not easy to go to Jiexishan, and there was a thick fog inside. Except for those who hit by accident, the Han people could not go to the Hu people, and the Hu people could not go to the Han people. It was received by Han people.

Otherwise, the Hu people could climb over from Mount Jiexi. The line of defense is so long, and the imperial court would not just set up a western camp here.

"You suspect Wu Shancai?"

"Last night, I clearly disclosed my identity. According to the rules of the border town, the city gates are closed on time, but the angels will not stop them, and the guards will not stop them. The four city gates, even in Xingyuan Mansion, he has to open the gate honestly for me, where did the south gate have the guts to stop me? They said that the magistrate ordered no one to open the city gate." Qi Xiu looked far away. There was a cold light in his eyes, "I was stopped outside the city gate for two and a half hours. Because of the delay, how many soldiers and civilians died? I must pay for this."

Rong Xuan sighed a little when he thought of the loss this time. Now the imperial court can't even pay for the soldiers, and they are all supported by the local people, so the soldiers can eat seventy percent of their fill. Now recruiting soldiers is more difficult than having children. This time, they failed to protect the common people. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to collect the tax related to military pay next year.

"General, the little general sent someone back to spread the word that he had killed the Wushu who attacked Mingshui County, and the main force fled north across Jialingshui. Many, the little general asked for reinforcements to bring the people over."

Qi Xiuyuan and Rong Xuan's eyes lit up, and they asked in unison: "Did Haoran kill Wushu?"

The soldier nodded proudly, "The general pierced Wushu's right chest with his sword. It's a pity we couldn't get his body, otherwise it would be so majestic hanging on the gate of the city."

Qi Xiuyuan and Rong Xuan smiled, "It was stabbed in the right chest?" Wouldn't it be possible to still be alive? In the chaos, Haoran couldn't get off his horse to touch his breath.

But it's good to be able to win the battle. At that time, the battle to defend the city was at a critical moment, but he suddenly received an emergency from Mingshui County, and he really couldn't spare any troops, so he asked Qi Xiuyuan to take the fourth battalion.

Originally, he was holding the idea that he could keep Mingshui County for a while. Who would have thought that before Qi Haoran arrived in Mingshui County, Qian Shu, the county magistrate of Mingshui County, would suddenly run away and take away a group of yamen servants. The county magistrate Song Zhi led the rest of the people to insist on defending the city. Seeing that he could not hold it, he opened the east gate and west gate and released the people of the county. When Qi Haoran arrived, the whole county was engulfed in flames, and 40% of the people were slaughtered, not to mention the towns and villages under Mingshui County.

Qi Haoran has been here as a general for four years, among which Jin soldiers have attacked countless cities, and the number of grass valleys is even more numerous. Although he can't guarantee that the battle will be won, he has never let the people fall into such a dangerous situation.

His defenses and his strategy were all leaked. Rather than saying that he was angry that someone was colluding with Jin Bing, it would be better to say that he hated his own negligence and incompetence.

It must be the people around him who are familiar with his defense and strategy, but he and Rong Xuan didn't notice it at all. To him, it's not incompetence, what is it?

The soldier who reported didn't know the general's ups and downs, and continued: "The general sent someone back to a village, let us take care of it, saying that there is his benefactor inside."

"Oh?" Qi Xiuyuan came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and asked, "Are you from Linshan Village?" He asked him to find out about his younger brother's journey to the north, so he naturally knew Mu Yangling who was kind to him back then.

The soldier nodded, "It's the villagers of Linshan Village, General, they are very powerful. There are more than 40 barbarians and 22 golden soldiers left behind from more than 50 people."

Qi Xiuyuan and Rong Xuan looked at each other, both a little surprised, with some light in their eyes, "Are they ordinary villagers?"

"Yes, they are ordinary villagers who only know how to farm, but there is a little Mu girl in there, with such strength, a small hand can crush our bones." The soldier chuckled, and they were excited to shoot Miss Mu's shoulder, Er Gouzi was the most pitiful, she almost crushed one hand.
