"There is no hindrance to blame for this matter." Qian Hua stopped talking, looked around and whispered in Li You's ear, "Your Majesty was frightened last night and seemed to feel a little uncomfortable."

"Ah?" Li You suddenly felt something was wrong. If he fought hard to defend Weizhou City and forced him to retreat from Tang Kuo's army, but Li Gui died, then wouldn't all this mean nothing?

"But it seems that it's not important to me. Maybe it will be better after a few days of cultivation?" Qian Hua quickly explained, "I'm just not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of one. We still have to be prepared."

"Wang Ji has always been by His Majesty. He is smart and meticulous. I have to ask him." Li You understood that there might be secrets from civil servants hidden among the eunuchs now, so you must be careful.

While speaking, Li Gui's imperial guard had already arrived outside the city of Weizhou. Li You and Qian Hua hurried to greet him and sent him to the vacancies of the prefect who had already been vacated. Li Gui, who had a pale face, came out of the carriage and said to Li You, "Shunchang Bo was unfortunately in trouble, and most of the central army was defeated. Now, Li Aiqing is in charge of the overall situation in the city of Weizhou."

Qiu Shangjian was a deputy chief of the Si Feng before. Although Qian Hua was old, he had insufficient experience in leading the army. The last inspection left a deep impression on him. At this critical moment, Li Gui still chose him as the commander of the Weizhou army.

After receiving the order, Li You reported, "I arrived in Weizhou yesterday and killed Chen Ruyan, the governor of Weizhou, and asked Your Majesty to atone for his sins." After that, he told Li Gui everything about what happened to his homework. The killing of the fourth-rank minister is very important and he must inform Li Gui as soon as possible, otherwise there will be big trouble in the future.

"These treacherous and slander should be killed, so why did Li Aiqing be guilty of it?" After experiencing so many things in succession, Li Gui seemed to be aware of the actions of the civil servants and immediately ordered Wei Shiliang to erase the beginning and end of the matter for Li You.

"Cough cough, I'm a little tired. Go in and rest first. I'll give you all the things in the city." After saying so long, Li Gui's body could not hold back. He coughed twice and then retreated, leaving all the things outside to Li You, Qian Hua and others for handling.

Qian Hua and Li You both didn't sleep all night, but now it was not the time to rest. They quickly called Qiu Shangjian and other battalion officials to discuss countermeasures. Now that the central army has been dispersed, most of the remaining generals are the three of them and two experienced mediocre talents. The two of them can see the situation clearly, and when they see the imperial edict, they handed over the military power in their hands to Li You without saying a word.

"Commander Yao and Commander Qin are loyal to the king's affairs. Your Majesty will definitely give you a generous reward after returning to the capital." Li You would not blame such a person. Wen Yan's words turned to the topic, "Now, let's calculate how many available troops we have in our hands first? According to the principle of my Zhenwei Camp, there should be more than 5,000 people, but in fact there are only 4,500 people."

"My Yaowu Camp is a little worse than General Li's Zhenwei Camp, with only 4,200 people." Eat empty salary is something that every camp leader has. Now Qian Hua does not shy away and directly tells his actual number of people.

"I just took over Guoyong Camp. After investigation, I found that there were only 4,000 people in the camp." Qiu Shangjian was temporarily transferred to the commander this time, thinking that he could make some contributions and get promoted, but he did not expect that he not only encountered a great defeat, but even the pillars of the British Gongqiu family collapsed, but the current situation did not allow him to have time to be sad.

"The last general has 3,800 people in Liwei Camp." Yao Pingzhong, the commander of Liwei Camp, said with a little embarrassment. He was much more cruel than others, but now is definitely not the time to hide it.

"The last general's Guoyong Camp had 4,100 people." Qin Tansheng, the commander of Guoyong Camp, also reported his number.

"That is to say, there are only 20,600 people in the organization now." There are more than 28,000 people on the books of these five battalions. This ratio makes Li You sigh, but this is still good. If the army in the prefecture has a salary of more than 10,000, the remaining more than 10,000 defeated soldiers will be organized into our five battalions. Take advantage of the Tang Kuo army's troops to the city for a few days. Let's hurry up and train these people first."

Everyone was fine, and then Li You arranged their respective defense areas, Qian Hua, Qiu Shangjian, Yao Pingzhong and Qin Tansheng led their respective deployments to defend the four walls on the southeast, west and north. Among them, Qian Hua, who Li You trusted the most, was responsible for defending the north gate where Tang Kuo's troops might appear, while his own subordinates were responsible for supporting the party that was in crisis at any time as mobile forces, and to take care of the safety of the city so as not to cause trouble.

In the next few days, everyone urgently organized troops and horses to incorporate the scattered soldiers into their respective commands; while Li You captured spies everywhere in the city and maintained order in the city, he summoned all the craftsmen in the city and asked them to build various cities under the command of Gu Jiangzi.

The old man Gu Jiangzi surprised Li You again. He talked about the mace, yak, catapult and other equipment to defend the city. Li You was happy and simply made a copy of the drawings of the Baniu Crossbow and asked him to do it as usual to see if he could make this big killing weapon to defend the city.

After Li You left, Gu Jiangzi didn't come back to his senses for a long time in the workshop. Alas, the Mo family is the leader of the city, but the descendants of the Mo family have not participated in such a war in many years? Will this be the opportunity for the Mo family to rise again? A little bit, this not-so-pure descendants of the Mo family began to direct their craftsmen to get busy, and summoned their disciples to carefully study the eight-ox crossbow drawings given to him by Li You.

After resting for two days and recovering a little energy, Li Gui also came out of the mansion and came to the city wall to check the military situation. When he saw these soldiers completing their respective tasks in an orderly manner under the command of Li You, he felt a little relieved. Perhaps relying on this city can block the army of Tang Kuo's troops? It's just in the capital.

Three days later, one day earlier than Li You and the others expected, Yuan Zhang led the army of Tang Kuo to the north gate of Weizhou City. Li You checked the city tower and found that Yuan Zhang's army was on high alert and had no flaws during the march, so he had to let the cavalry who were preparing to attack dismount and rest.

After the army arrived, it did not rush to attack the city, but instead surrounded the city of Weizhou, and set up camp and camp, as if ready for a long siege.

At night, Li You did not find a suitable attack opportunity. Yuan Zhang's army was no better than Yin Ziqi's rebels, and his tactical qualities have not yet reached the level of Zhang Xun. The Wei army in the city did not have to be united in Sui Yang's army, so he could only bluff and scare the Tang Kuo army twice.
