When the city was initially brought under control, it was already close to dawn.

He Lianyan was looking for someone, "Where is Tian Qi?"

Jielong went to inquire about it and came back and said, "He said he was going to open the city gate."

"Where are the people?"

A group of people are looking around.

"Here."

Helianyan heard the sound and went over.

The light of dawn shone on the city walls and also on the ground.

Tian Qi was lying there on his side, his back covered with arrows, looking like a hedgehog.

There was still a smile on his lips, but it was a little stiff. There seemed to be a look of longing in his eyes.

Helianyan walked over slowly.

Behind him, Jielong said: "Tian Qi is one of the first batch of old people. When we sent people to Tanzhou, he was the first to recommend himself. He said that he wanted to make a meritorious service and go to southern Xinjiang to see...see..."

"Little lady." He Lianyan said the next words for him.

"Yes." Jie Long was a little sad, "He is a good person and cheerful. All the brothers like him."

More than ten people from the Imperial Guard stood behind He Lianyan and looked at Tian Qi.

He Lianyan said: "Who is in his family?"

Jielong said: "My parents are still alive, and I have a brother who just got married. I have a sister who has been married for several years. He himself... has been married for three years, and the child was only born last year."

He Lianyan said: "From today on, his family is the family of my Jin Yiwei. He must be comforted every year. Anyone who bullies his family will be the enemy of my Jin Yiwei and will never stop fighting."

"yes."

"Also, is Tian Qi's child a boy or a girl?"

"son."

"When you are older, you will be sent to study. If you can read well, it is best. If you cannot read well, I, Jinyiwei, will take over. If you can read well, you will be willing to join Jinyiwei, and you will be promoted to the third level."

"yes."

Helianyan lowered his head.

Behind him, Jielong and Shiyu Jinyiwei lowered their heads.

The morning light emerged and shone brightly on this group of people.

It also shined on Tian Qi.

Later, He Lianyan raised his head and said, "Light a fire and take his bones and his soul back! Send them to the Martyrs' Shrine."

"yes."

He Lianyan finally said: "Brother Tian, ​​have a good trip."

She immediately entered the city.

"Ms. Helian, Miss Helian!"

One of the guards called to her, "Master calls for you."

He Lianyan entered the county house.

Yang Xuan was sitting in the lobby, eating steamed buns.

"Yan! Have you eaten?"

"Didn't eat."

"Give her a bowl."

The buns are very simple, even vary in thickness, and some are uncooked.

Everyone got a big bowl. Song Zhen looked at the bowl and felt that he couldn't finish it.

But seeing that everyone was like this, I couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't fought in many years, so I have forgotten that one meal is a meal."

After eating the buns, Yang Xuan said: "I just learned from the torture that He Lianrong is preparing to send troops to attack the southern part of the town in three days."

Everyone glanced at Xin Wuji.

"Now that the troops in Tanzhou City are well equipped, He Lianrong will not sit back and watch. However, whether he will come as soon as he hears the news or wait a little longer depends on his courage."

Song Zhen said: "How is this person?"

Han Ji said: "There are hills and valleys in the chest."

Song Zhen said: "In this case, I won't come right away."

He found that everyone was looking at him blankly.

It seems that I have some advice for Zitai.

…

At dawn, He Lianrong summoned everyone to discuss matters as usual.

"Your Majesty, the food and fodder are all ready."

"good."

"The army is gathering, the old and the weak are being eliminated from the army, and the rest are left to look after the family." Chen Faxiang said.

He Lianrong nodded, "Okay."

Finally, he took everyone on a patrol.

"Here facing Chenzhou, the mountains and rivers have always made it difficult to hold on. No matter how strong the city is, it will fall one day. The decline most likely starts from within.

Therefore, the drills must be serious, and secondly, the people must not be treated too harshly, otherwise once the enemy troops come to the city, the army will have no fighting spirit and the people will complain, and they will be beaten with just one drum."

"What you said is true."

"However, even Yang Gou would not dare to attack a fortified city like Tanzhou."

Everyone laughed.

Last time, Yang Xuan defeated the Tanzhou Army and then withdrew. This is an example.

He Lianrong smiled, it is not a bad thing for his subordinates to be confident.

A young-looking general said: "Why didn't we take the initiative in the past?"

Everyone glanced at him, and Jin Ze smiled, "The Duke of Haojiao learned that the direction of Tanzhou was to maintain ties in the past. This was the strategy set by the late emperor."

The young man's name is Helian Luo, and he is close to the current emperor He Lianchun. Originally, He Lianfeng was unknown when he was in power. After He Lianchun ascended the throne, the family flourished.

Before this man came to Tanzhou, he was granted the title of Duke of the State, and he could be said to be extremely popular.

He Lian Luo came to Tanzhou to gain experience. He asked for battle many times, but was suppressed by He Lian Rong.

"But that's the late emperor." Helianluo smiled happily.

The big mountain that was weighing on my head is gone, and I feel relieved.

"Whether we want to send troops or not, we need Ning Xing's permission." He Lianrong hesitated.

He doesn't like these young people who rely on their blood to rise to power. They are Duke Cheng at such a young age. What achievements do they have?

There is nothing, just reincarnation.

Jin Ze whispered: "Your Majesty, this person is known as a dragon or a phoenix among people in the Ningxing clan. He has performed well in martial arts several times."

He Lianrong nodded.

Helian Luo snorted coldly, "It's just to avoid fighting! This attack only targets the southern part of the town, but we don't dare to take a peek at Chenzhou."

grass!

Everyone was secretly angry, but it was hard to scold him.

Some people couldn't help it and said sadly, "Do you dare, Mr. Cheng Guo?"

Helian Luo sneered, "If Yang Gou dares to come, I will show you what a Daliao warrior is!"

He Lianrong coughed dryly and said, "Mr. Cheng is heroic."

"Enemy scout found!"

The bell suddenly rang at the top of the city.

"Go and have a look."

When everyone went to the top of the city, they saw hundreds of horsemen heading towards the city in front of them.

"alert!"

"Prepare to attack."

The top of the city is on guard, and the cavalry is being summoned below the city.
