Fushan County, within the city.
Within the county office.
Meng Jiuyou sat on the main seat, his face filled with worry. Previously, when Fushan County was attacked, Meng Jiuyou had sent troops to fight back, destroying the Jingyang Prefecture troops and obtaining victory.
At that time, Meng Jiuyou was delighted.
After all, he had done a great deed.
Meng Jiuyou had sent the news out to inform Du Qi so that Du Qi would know of his contributions. Originally, Meng Jiuyou had already calmed down and felt that there was nothing to worry about.
Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the Jingyang Army would send troops down south?
This gave Meng Jiuyou a lot of pressure.
Although Meng Jiuyou knew that he was not their match and had sent scouts to report to Pandu County. However, Du Qi was still fighting with Bennett in Pandu County. Could he send reinforcements in time?
This was what Meng Jiuyou was worried about.
Every few days, Meng Jiuyou would ask people to see if Du Qi had sent reinforcements.
He was really worried about the current situation.
"Report!"
Just as Meng Jiu You's mind was wandering, a soldier rushed in and reported, "County leader, we just received news. The scouts rushed back and reported that Mr. Du has already led his troops back and is heading towards our Fu Shan County."
"Great!"
When Meng Jiuyou heard this, he could not help but stand up.
Instantly, a smile appeared on his face.
They had returned!
The army was finally returning!
With Du Qi here, Meng Jiuyou was not afraid of the Jingyang Prefecture army.
Meng Jiu You waved his hand to dismiss the soldiers. He was thinking quickly in his heart. Not long after, Meng Jiu You had a clear idea and had a plan in his heart. He ordered, "Men, inform Xu Qiu to come here."
"Yes!"
When the bailiff received the order, he immediately went to inform Xu Qiu.
Xu Qiu was the current County Lieutenant of Fushan County, and he was promoted by Meng Jiuyou.
He was around thirty years old.
However, he was quite courageous, and could be said to be skilled in both the pen and the sword.
After Xu Qiu entered, he cupped his fists and said, "Xu Qiu greets the county leader."
Meng Jiuyou nodded, "County Lieutenant Xu, I just received news that Lord Du's troops have started to head back to our Fushan County. With Senior Du's army, we will definitely win this battle. "
"Now, I'm preparing to head to Cang Shan Pass and personally lead the army to defend against the attack of the Jingyang County army."
"You lead the army and guard the county."
Meng Jiuyou said, "Xu Qiu, can you do it?"
Xu Qiu said firmly, "County Magistrate, don't worry. As long as the people are here, the city will be here. As long as I'm in the city, anyone who wants to seize the county seat will have to step over me. "
Meng Jiuyou said, "Cangshan Pass is the only way to enter Fushan County from Jingyang County. As long as I'm at Cangshan Pass, the army of Jingyang County won't be able to go south. "
"So, it's not that difficult for you."
"What you need to deal with now is to consider the situation in the city. Be wary of people causing trouble in the city."
"Of course, in fact, before Master Du left the city, he dealt with a group of people. So now, the problem shouldn't be too big. You just have to be careful. "
Meng Jiuyou said, "Xu Qiu, do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Xu Qiu immediately replied.
The task that he was currently in charge of was extremely simple. As long as he did his job well, he would definitely be able to make contributions.
So, Xu Qiu was very attentive.
Meng Jiuyou said, "Okay, go do your work. I'll take two thousand elite soldiers. The rest of the soldiers will be yours. "
"Yes!"
Xu Qiu replied again.
Meng Jiuyou did not stay any longer. He went to change his clothes and put on his armor. With a sword hanging at his waist, he went straight to the barracks. After Meng Jiuyou arrived at the barracks, he gathered two thousand soldiers.
These two thousand soldiers had participated in the battle with the army of Jingyang County.
They had won.
This batch of soldiers had high fighting spirit.
Their fighting spirit was very strong.
Meng Jiuyou did not say much and directly ordered the troops to move out.
They went all the way north from the county seat. After about forty miles, they arrived at Cangshan Pass, which was north of the county seat.
The geographical location of Cangshan Pass was rather special.
Cangshan Pass was built in a depression in the mountain range. The depression under the mountain became a road for travel. Cangshan Pass was built in the middle of such a mountain range. With the help of the mountain range, it became a pass.
Meng Jiuyou had purposely allowed the army that invaded Jingyang County to enter Cangshan Pass. Then, he ambushed them and defeated them. After winning, Meng Jiuyou sealed the pass.
On the two sides of Cangshan Pass, there were mountains and forests.
They were all deep in the mountains and forests.
It was easy to get lost in the mountains and forests.
Because of this undulating mountain, this forest became a barrier to the north of Fushan County.
After Meng Jiuyou led the army and arrived, the army entered the pass. He also personally went to the city gate tower.
The person guarding the pass was called Li Jingcheng.
He was already forty years old and had a big build. He was not particularly strong, but Li Jingcheng was very careful when dealing with matters. Hence, with him guarding Cangshan Pass, Meng Jiuyou could be at ease.
Meng Jiuyou looked at Li Jingcheng and said solemnly, "Lieutenant Li, how is the situation?"
Li Jingcheng's position was that of a lieutenant.
He only had six hundred men guarding Cangshan Pass, which was not a lot.
Li Jingcheng's expression was solemn as he said, "County leader, everything is fine. According to the news we received, the army of Jingyang County is still half a day away from Cangshan Pass. It is estimated that the army will reach Cangshan Pass by this evening. "
Meng Jiuyou said, "With your six hundred men and my two thousand men, are you confident in defending Cangshan Pass?"
Li Jingcheng said, "County leader, in fact, six hundred men is enough to defend Cangshan Pass. The reason is simple, Cangshan Pass is built on the official road, which is the road under the mountain. The road outside the pass is also rugged and steep. Under such circumstances, it will not be easy for the enemy to attack. Furthermore, the army of Jingyang County cannot spread out and attack from the outside. "
"Hence, we can defend it."
"Let's not talk about how long, ten days to half a month should not be a problem."
"Any longer than that, and there is no way."
Li Jingcheng said, "Don't worry, as long as I, Li Jingcheng, am here, I will not let the enemy pass Cangshan Pass."
Meng Jiuyou nodded, "Very good, I will leave the matter of defending to you. Even this official will listen to your commands. You can arrange what to do. "
"Yes sir!"
Li Jingcheng also heaved a sigh of relief.
He was also worried that Meng Jiuyou would interfere.
Now, Meng Jiuyou had completely delegated his authority and did not interfere in the war. Instead, he supported him. This was the best arrangement.
Meng Jiuyou encouraged Li Jingcheng for a while more before returning to the army to rest.
Meng Jiuyou had already done what he needed to do.
Now, he only needed to defend against the attack of Jingyang County and wait for Du Qi's army to arrive.
