Chapter 1178: Severe drought and sweet rain provide relief to those in need

The market in Liuchen County was bustling with business travelers and people, and it was still as prosperous as usual.

But on the way, there were many more people in ragged clothes, with sallow faces and skinny muscles. These people came from those small countries and fled here, and there were also a very small number of people from the Daji Dynasty in the warring areas.

The people of the Daji Dynasty looked at these country bumpkins from small countries with a complacent look. Recently, the news coming back from the Celestial Army was how overwhelming and invincible they were, and how small countries were running away in the face of the wind, bowing their heads and bowing.

The war is won, so what if we feel complacent!

However, at the current Liuchen County Government Office, people are constantly coming in and out, and their faces are full of anxiety, and they are no longer as relaxed as they were at first. Once upon a time, their faces were still the same as those of the people outside.

The common people are always the last to learn the news. Even if they do get the news, it is mostly censored information, which is just a way to fool the people.

These officials and subordinates are the group of people close to the center of power. They are not the first people to get the news, but they are the channels through which the news is transmitted. They need to know more than ordinary people.

But now, these little officials have worried looks on their faces, for no other reason than that the war has taken a turn. To be precise, the frontline army has been in trouble, or even in a state of death.

Wen Conglong had already sent three batches of messengers back to inform him, requesting King Yong to mobilize troops for assistance. The words in the letters became more urgent than the last.

The entire Liuchen County government was in chaos. The 50,000 soldiers and horses led by Wen Conglong were trained by King Yong over the years. Not to mention elites, at least direct descendants. King Yong was unwilling and impossible to give up these troops.

But even Wen Conglong's 50,000 troops are stuck on the front line. Who can take on the important task of bringing back the front line troops?

Yes, King Yong no longer has any intention of expanding the territory. If fifty thousand troops are on the front line, every family will lose their husbands and children, and the people will be resentful. How could King Yong come here?

This is the disadvantage of starting a war. If it really comes to this point, King Yong's future will be completely ruined. Therefore, no matter how high the cost, they must be saved.

When asking who could help relieve the worries, no one dared to take on the job, and no one even volunteered. Behind Po Tian's great achievements, there are also boundless dangers. This is a real job that will make people lose their heads, and no one is willing to take it.

Finally, several staff members who were good friends with Wu Yi recommended Wu Yi to King Yong.

After being left out for a long time, he had to be recalled again. King Yong was unwilling, but he had no choice but to write to Wu Yi. Now among King Yong's men, only Wu Yi had the prestige to subdue a group of people. For such a big event, Yong The king also favored Wu Yi the most, and King Yong was worried about the others.

In the letter he wrote to Wu Yi, he was extremely humble in terms of his position as King Yong. He said how he had listened to the villain before and ignored Wu Yi, as if he was a self-incriminating edict. Now he is sincere. I regret and hope that when the country is in crisis, Wu Yi can come out to help those in need.

There was no pretense in his person. After reading the letter, he immediately led a few followers and drove horses from the Chen Family Villa on the outskirts of the city back to the county town.

Delaying deliberately at this time, in the future, it will really be successful. In King Yong's heart, he is also a person who cannot be reused, why bother?

The group rode hard and reached the twenty-mile journey in less than half an hour. When they were outside the county government office, the door officials and guards saw Wu Yi and shouted to the inner circle: "Master Chen is back, Master Chen is back!"

The body Wu Yi occupied was called Chen Yan, so he was naturally called Lord Chen.

This sound was like a person who had been in drought for a long time was as happy as seeing rain. In fact, it was indeed the case. Because of the unfavorable battle on the front line, King Yong became a little moody. Everyone working in the Yamen was a little worried, for fear of getting into trouble.

King Yong, who was still discussing countermeasures with his advisers in the back hall, heard his servants say that Wu Yi had arrived, and he didn't even dress up properly, so he went out to welcome Wu Yi. When he saw Wu Yi, he sighed: "My king's arms are here!"

Wu Yi raised his hands and saluted and said: "Your Highness, this is a great compliment!"

"Seeing you coming, I feel relieved!"

King Yong welcomed Wu Yi into the back hall and began to introduce the specific situation to Wu Yi. Although the news transmitted through the inner demon body was equivalent to being at the scene physically, and he knew far more and more specific information than King Yong, but seeing that Seeing how Wen Conglong responded will also facilitate future decisions.

More and more people gathered in the back hall, and King Yong did not drive them away. Now was the time to work together. After the introduction, he looked at Wu Yi with a worried look on his face and asked, "How many people are there on this trip?" Chances of winning?"

"If Your Highness wants to defeat the enemy, it will only be 30%. If you want to defeat the enemy, it will be 70%!"

"We can just retreat from the enemy. How can we dare to hope to defeat the enemy now that we are in such a difficult situation!" Everyone nodded.

"That being the case, Your Highness can rest assured and wait for the good news!"

"What is the best way to defeat the enemy?" Although Wu Yi said it confidently, Wen Conglong's army was deep in the front line, and King Yong was extremely anxious. This was all his property, and it also determined his future fate! I had to ask in more detail.

Wu Yi didn't want to tell his plan in front of everyone, but looking at King Yong's appearance, he obviously wanted to work together, so he said: "Surround Wei and save Zhao!"

Although it was only four words, everyone present knew what Wu Yi was thinking, and the light in his eyes was also different.

"Now the other three armies cannot be mobilized, and there are not many soldiers and horses in the county government to mobilize. By the time we gather the troops and surround the Wei State, the Zhao State will have long been dead!"

It's normal to have disputes, but it's abnormal not to have disputes. Wu Yi responded bluntly: "In that case, how about Mr. Zhao going straight to the center and breaking the siege?"

Now Wen Conglong is trapped on the narrow beach at Sanchuankou, with a river in front and a mountain behind him. The grain road is harassed by mobs, and he is starving to death every day. It can be said that he is in a desperate situation.

Mr. Zhao is on good terms with Wen Conglong and hopes to rescue Wen Conglong as soon as possible. His idea is good, but Wu Yi cannot choose this path. Even if he is on good terms with Wen Conglong, he will not do so because of this It's like a meat bun beating a dog, there is no return.

Since King Yong invited Wu Yi over, he can only trust Wu Yi unconditionally now. Although Wu Yi's approach somewhat means using the enemy's hand to eliminate dissidents, "The mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, how many men do you want?"

Wu Yi stretched out his hand, made an eight sign, and said: "Eight hundred servants are enough!"

King Yong was already prepared for Wu Yi to speak loudly, but he didn't expect Wu Yi to be so confident. The voices around him accusing Wu Yi of being greedy for power and rashly advancing became louder again.

"If His Highness feels that it is too few, you can allocate eight thousand soldiers to me. I will never be too many!"

This sentence made King Yong speechless.
