Chapter 132
After asking around, I found out.
It turns out that when Deng Zhan and others were gathering intelligence in Liangzhou, they often rescued some people who were determined to defend their country and asked them to go to Yong County to find Wang Hao. As a result, Wang Hao's name in Liangzhou gradually spread.
Recently, some of the battles that Wang Hao secretly fought were all to rescue soldiers from the front line.
This is inseparable from what Deng Zhan and others did behind enemy lines.
"So that's how it is!"
Wang Hao let out a long breath and nodded slowly.
He had told Deng Zhan to try to rescue some loyal ministers who were determined to serve the country.
But he didn't expect that this kid could make his name so widely known in Liangzhou.
This was a pleasant surprise, otherwise he might not have met a fierce general like Pang De.
It was obvious!
They came from Hanyang County and came all the way to Yong County. Even when they passed by Chencang, they didn't think of seeking their protection.
""Your Excellency!"
Pang De clasped his fists and bowed.
Then, he pushed out a man dressed as a clerk and said loudly:
"This person is Si An, the county magistrate of Hanyang County."
"The prefect of Hanyang defended the city to the death, but now he has died!"
"We are following his last will and wish to send the county magistrate to Luoyang to ask the court to send troops for support."
Wang Hao looked up.
Sure enough!
The man in the soldier's uniform was very different from the others.
It was not that his appearance was different, but his demeanor was completely incomparable to others. He obviously had a bit of official airs!
The other party was the county magistrate, far more powerful than Wang Hao, a county magistrate.
Although he was now a fugitive, according to the rules of the Han family, Wang Hao should also salute him.
"This is the seal of the governor of Hanyang County!"
Si An immediately took out the seal to prove his identity.
"The magistrate of Yong County pays homage to the county magistrate.
Wang Hao hurriedly stood up and saluted.
"Hmm!"
Si An nodded and said softly,"I have heard of the great name of Wang County for a long time. Seeing him today, I find that he is indeed extraordinary. Now the civil strife in Liangzhou cannot be stopped. I am afraid that it will not be long before they will attack the three prefectures and threaten Chang'an."
"I have anticipated this!"
Wang Hao said calmly, neither humble nor arrogant:"Therefore, we have been preparing for the battle. Don't worry, County Magistrate. If the Qiang and Hu people from Liangzhou invade our Yong County, they will not be able to return!"
"Just call me Si An!"
Si An exhaled:"When I entered Yong County, I knew that your Wang County was by no means ordinary. The city should have been repaired, and it was raised by two feet. The arrow towers on the four corners are two feet high and are built with bricks!"
"But I heard that you have only been in office for half a year!"
At this point, Si An's eyes were full of admiration:"I have to admit that I have been in Hanyang for many years, but I haven't done as much as you have in half a year."
"This time, whether the imperial court can stop the Qiang bandits from Liangzhou, the defense of Yong County is crucial. If you can defend here like a nail, it will not be so easy for the bandits to take Chang'an."
Wang Hao nodded and said,"Don't worry, Si Juncheng, I have already made plans to live and die with the people of Yong County. Please go to the capital this time and convince the court to send troops to fight!"
Si An clasped his hands and said,"Don't worry, I will!" Wang
Hao tried to ask,"When are you going to leave?"
Si An paused and said,"The sooner the better, it's best to leave today!"
"" Okay, no problem!"
Wang Hao agreed immediately and called Zhang Ji,"Zhang Ji, take them down to rest immediately, and then send someone to prepare fast horses, and try to set off today!"
Zhang Ji bowed:"Yes!"
Si An nodded:"Wang County is vigorous and resolute, which is admirable."
Wang Hao smiled lightly:"No, it's not worth mentioning."
That afternoon.
After lunch, Si An led his men to leave Yong County.
Looking at the team galloping on fast horses.
Wang Hao turned his head and smiled lightly:"Lingming really doesn't go?"
(PS: Pang De, whose name is Lingming.)
Pang De was serious and responded in a sonorous voice:"How can a real man be willing to live in peace? I, Pang De, would rather die on the battlefield than live in peace!"
Wang Hao could clearly sense it.
At this moment!
Pang De was in pain, he clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to crush something to death.
He must have hatred in his heart!
"Lingming, your loved one......"
Wang Hao tried to guess.
"Dead!"
Pang De simply uttered two words, his eyes stern and filled with murderous intent:"I, Pang De, will kill Li Wenhou and avenge them!"
Wang Hao knew that the people who attacked Hanyang County were the Huangzhong Yicong Hu led by Li Wenhou!
"Don't worry!"
Wang Hao patted Pang De on the shoulder:"You will definitely avenge this!"
Pang De nodded heavily:"Well, thank you, County Master, for allowing me to stay in Yong County!"
Just at this moment.
Not far away, there was smoke and dust.
Wang Hao looked around and saw a horse coming.
"Report"
"Report"
The rapid sound of the report came closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer.
Wang Hao frowned, thinking something was wrong:
""Is something big happening?"
When the scout approached
, Wang Hao asked without waiting for the other party to speak,"What's the situation ahead?"
The scout hurriedly clasped his hands and said,"My lord, a large number of Qiang and Hu bandits have been found in the direction of the Weilong Ancient Road. They should be coming for us."
Wang Hao was stunned for a moment,"How many soldiers and horses?"
The scout replied,"About 20,000, all on fast horses and elite cavalry!"
Twenty thousand soldiers and horses!
Although this number is not large, they are all fast and elite cavalry.
It is enough to prove that they are the main force of the Qiang and Hu in Liangzhou.
Before this, Wang Hao thought that they would follow the normal attack route, first take Chencang, then besiege Yong County, and go straight to Chang'an.
But he did not expect that the other party would come from the direction of the Weilong Ancient Road.
And the first to bear the brunt of the attack from here is Wang Hao's Yong County!
It seems that the other party has been paying attention to the movements in the direction of Fufeng.
They chose Yong County first, obviously to use Wang Hao as a scapegoat to shock the court!
Or, in their eyes, they also realized the role of Yong County as a barrier to Chang'an.
If it cannot be removed, it will be a huge obstacle for them to capture Chang'an!
"Damn it!"
Pang De frowned and said,"County Lord, they must want to take advantage of Yong County's unpreparedness and raid here, so they came from the Weilong Ancient Road. We should have made preparations early!"
"Don't worry, Lingming!"
Wang Hao was not nervous at all, but calm like a lake:"I have been preparing for a long time in Yong County. Don't mention that he only has 20,000 cavalry to attack, even if it is 50,000 or 100,000, he can't take over my Yong County!"
"Someone come!"
"promise!"
"Quickly send an order to the three armies to enter a special combat readiness state"
""No!"
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Suddenly!
The dull and rhythmic sound of drums rang out.
Pang De could clearly see that the moment the drums rang out, the entire Yong County immediately entered a strange state.
The people in the city returned home in an orderly manner without any panic. The soldiers of various armies appeared on the top of the city in a very short time. Those who closed the city gates closed the city gates; those who transported equipment transported equipment; those who went up the arrow tower went up the arrow tower!......
Although it looked messy, it was orderly and well-proportioned!
It was as if it had been deliberately trained.
Pound's eyes widened immediately, revealing an expression of disbelief!
"The county magistrate is indeed a genius!"
Pang De couldn't help but praise
