I frowned as I spoke with a worried look on my face: "Even so, Zhang Jiao has an army of one hundred thousand, and he will immediately lead his troops to kill us, what we lack is time. If we have enough time to fortify our walls and clear our land, then victory will definitely be ours! More importantly, the soldiers of our army are scattered across the fields, and there are many soldiers scattered throughout the land. It would be very difficult to gather all of them in one place. If we cannot gather our superior forces, we cannot defend against Zhang Jiao's huge army of a hundred thousand! "

"In fact," he said, "I was afraid of what the Lord has just said. We can shilling the General Han Cheng for taking all the troops we have with us to the front, and for setting up a camp quickly, and making all the necessary preparations for our defense. We can continuously send the gathered soldiers to the General Han from the back, to support General Han in resisting Zhang Jiao's attack! Those two who are good at defending are always supporting General Han Cheng, Zhang Jiao will definitely not be able to do anything! "

I nodded. "That's the only way!" I turned around and asked Chen Zhi: "Second brother, how many troops do we have right now?" Chen Zhi extended four fingers first, and then said: "Four thousand people! Only four thousand people! Furthermore, there were still a thousand troops in the Pei Yuanshao Tribe who were guarding the border with Zhang Jiao. There were only a total of five thousand men. The number of people that could be gathered in a short period of time wouldn't exceed seven thousand. "We can only see how long General Han can hold it for!"

Han Cheng assured me, "Don't worry, my lord! As long as I, Han Cheng, am still alive, I will not allow Zhang Jiao's army to easily attack us! It's just that our scattered soldiers can't recall anything in time and are likely to become captives of Zhang Jiao's incoming army! The lord gave the order to divide them into small groups and quickly went to meet them at the designated place. This way, our soldiers will slowly gather. "After all, our soldiers are well-trained, and we don't need to worry about them being dispersed and becoming stragglers."

I laughed heartily and immediately felt the stone in my heart lighten a lot. I happily said, "Alright! Do as General Han said! Also, General Han, where are you going to attack Zhang Jiao Army? " Han Qian replied, "Currently, the amount of troops that my lord can give me is limited, I can only defend against Zhang Jiao's attack from the gates of the dead, which were left behind by the cavalry army general. As long as there was a way, it could be said that even ten thousand men wouldn't be able to easily break open the gates of hell! The gates of hell are abnormally narrow, not conducive to a large group of people fighting, but to us, who have a weak military strength, it's very advantageous for our defense. As long as we set up our defenses, Zhang Jiao's huge army of a hundred thousand will be completely frozen in place by the troops that I am leading, unable to move at all! "

I asked worriedly, "But this way, we will lose a large piece of land in front of us to Zhang Jiao. Zhang Jiao can take this opportunity to harvest our food.

Zhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Fourth Brother! Zhang Jiao knew that he was short of food, he must be in a hurry to achieve something. He must want to take down Yu Lin and the Ankang to end the war as soon as possible. Even if he harvested the food north of Ghost Gate Pass from our territory, it would still be a drop in the bucket for his huge army of a hundred thousand. He would not do it. That way, we can have the soldiers who are farming with the people quickly help the people harvest the grain and move the people into the mountains! Our territory has many mountains and many caves. Furthermore, the caves are connected to each other, allowing us to travel miles. Moreover, caves were extremely large. There were countless caves that could accommodate several hundred people. Therefore, it will be extremely difficult for Zhang Jiao to capture our citizens! "

I laughed and said, "Good! Then let's settle it like this! The mountain troops of the General can also attack and disrupt Zhang Jiao's food supply line. In the past, whenever Zhang Jiao attacked us, it was all because of the headache caused by the mountain troops of the General! Zhang Jiao had sent a lot of men, but they were still unable to destroy the entire General! After all, the General Tribe's battles in the mountains had become elites! Zhang Jiao was unable to eliminate the General! General's guerrilla hit that disturbed the enemy's grain transportation path played a very important role in supporting our victory in the battle! Now, we must immediately order the General to disrupt the road of transportation of xanthopanax's rations! "

Han Cheng said, "My lord, I will immediately dispatch the troops from the barracks to guard the gates to hell." I put my hand on Han Cheng's shoulder and said, "It's all yours! "General Han!" "Hm!" Han Cheng nodded and left …

As expected, Zhang Jiao flew straight towards Yu Lin's County City and Ankang as expected, and was naturally ambushed by Han Cheng outside the gates of hell, unable to take a step forward. But Zhang Jiao isn't a fool after all, he sent another group of people to attack my empty Ankang County. I am surrounded by a small army.

"My lord!" Something terrible had happened! "My lord!" He was running in in a panic, shouting loudly. Seeing that he was extremely nervous, he couldn't help but ask, "What happened exactly? Zi Hong, what's the matter that has made you so anxious? " My heart tightened, and I groaned in my heart: "Could it be that the xanthopanax is already at the foot of the city? That means something really bad has happened! "

Just as he was panting heavily, he said, "My lord, something bad has happened! Some angry commoners want to throw Ma Jun into the river! " Hearing that, I was really shocked, I knew saving people was important, so I was in no hurry to ask why the people wanted to throw Ma Jun into the river. I pointed ahead and hurriedly walked forward while saying, "Let's go! Zi Hong! Hurry up! Faster! We have to save Mr. Ma Jun! " I hurried out, and followed me.

On the bank of the river, wrapped in flowers, Ma Jun was tied to a wooden frame. Around Ma Jun, there were some young and strong men were beating drums, while some robust men and young girls were dancing. This was a dance of worship, a dance that only people would dance for the sake of offering sacrifices.

An ugly witch led the people to their knees on the riverbank. Ahead of them was a terrace with a cow's head, a sheep's head, and a pig's head. The witch muttered to herself.

Killing chickens and draining blood. The witch threw the struggling rooster into the air, and the witch grabbed another rooster and threw it into the air as well. A few moments later, a few roosters still dripping with blood were flying in the air.

The witch beat her drum and howled loudly: "The four gods of heaven and earth! Wishing our General Van to defeat the invading xanthopanax! I am throwing the spy Ma Jun into the river to offer to the Prince Long and the other Gods! In order to protect our army and win over the xanthopanax! May we people live a happy life under the rule of the General Van! The sacrifice shall begin! As soon as the witch finished speaking, everyone lifted Ma Jun above their heads and carried Ma Jun towards the water's edge. They wanted to throw Ma Jun into the river to offer sacrifice to the and the other water gods!

When I arrived with a small group of guards, I shouted, "Stop! Stop right now! " The crowd stopped when they heard my shout.

He was just shouting loudly, "Vice General Fan, Ci Shi has arrived!" When the people heard his righteous words, they immediately kneeled down and shouted, "We pay our respects to Lord Fan!" Ma Jun was carried out of the water by a few people. After he was put down, he was helped to kneel down.

I hastily went forward to support an old man who was kneeling before me. "Old sir, please quickly get up!" I then looked around and said, "Fellow villagers, please quickly get up!" Everyone was still looking at me. I said sincerely, "Everyone, please get up!" Everyone stood up.

After looking at Ma Jun, I looked around and asked: "What are you guys doing?" The witch said: "This person is xanthopanax's spy, if he did not divulge the news to Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao would not have split up his troops to attack us. Moreover, the recent abnormal phenomena, the strange thing was that when the rain started to fall, it must be because the Prince Long was unhappy about the presence of the traitor, he must be telling us to get rid of him! Furthermore, I had a dream from the Prince Long last night. The Prince Long told me in my dreams that he wanted me to get rid of the spy! Master, it is absolutely true that the Prince Long had entrusted me with this dream! "

I was interested. "Oh! Prince Long would actually ask you for a dream? Then, may I ask, how did you know that the Prince Long wanted you to eliminate the traitor? " The witch replied, "Because the villagers got a cloth from the belly of the fish, and on the cloth, it says that Ma Jun is a scoundrel. The Prince Long is very angry about it, so it will rain under clear skies! The important thing is that Ma Jun is not a native of our Jiao Prefecture, he is an outsider, how can he seriously seek for the welfare of us Jiao Prefecture people? He plotted for the Lord to build the aqueduct, and the reservoir was for the purpose of dispersing the army of the adults, and for the purpose of making the people lose money. The reason why Zhang Jiao was able to attack near Ankang County was because the Lord's army did not gather! From that, you can see that Ma Jun is indeed a scoundrel! "

When I heard this, my face turned extremely ugly. I wanted to flare up and reprimand the witch, but I held it back. Ma Jun then tried to defend himself: "I really did propose this to you for the sake of the citizens of the Jiao Prefecture! Although there were many sources of water, the local people did not know how to use them for agriculture. If the canal was built successfully, it would lead the river water and river water to irrigate the land. Producing grain per mu would produce one more bell, which was 64 extra buckets! In the vast Jiao Prefecture, as long as more people explored, they would be able to get more food! Repairing this canal could be said to achieve the goals of a rich country! And it would have a great impact on future generations as well! "After the reservoir is built, even if a year of desolation occurs, we can still rely on the water stored in the reservoir to survive the year of desolation!"
