Lan's City!

As the governor of Guizhou, Lu Rong personally took charge of the city.

Wearing armor, he stood on the city tower, looking at the corpses falling around him, his face full of exhaustion. As a newly appointed governor of the state, he worked conscientiously and united people's hearts in a short period of time.

After all, he has been in the government, has seen countless things, and is someone who knows how to govern.

Lu Rong calmed the people and stabilized their hearts.

With Lan's City as the center, the people of Tianzhu in Guizhou in the north quickly joined in. They were all peaceful and working in a down-to-earth manner.

At the same time, Lu Rong was also promoting local education.

Under Lu Rong's arrangement, everything went smoothly. But he didn't expect that when he was developing Guizhou at a high speed, he suddenly received news that enemy soldiers were coming from the west. Lu Rong didn't panic at first, just being steady.

They raised 10,000 people to stop them.

Unexpectedly, the opponent's infantry phalanx was tight and the cavalry phalanx was powerful, which caught him off guard.

Ten thousand people collapsed immediately.

Lu Rong realized that the enemy was powerful and immediately made changes. He stopped fighting and retreated directly to Lanshi City. He quickly prepared food, grass and equipment and defended with all his strength. Under this time difference, when the Parthian army came to kill, Lu Rong

Already prepared.

The Parthian army attacked fiercely, but Lu Rong also defended steadily.

From beginning to end, there was no defeat.

However, after the killing today, Lu Rong also had a hint of worry in his eyes.

The Parthian army came to attack this time with more than 60,000 troops, including more than 10,000 cavalry and fierce infantry. The continuous fierce attacks put great pressure on Lu Rong, and the defensive materials were also rapidly consumed.

If this continued, Lu Rong would also worry about not having enough supplies.

When Lu Rong was commanding the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and reorganize Lanshi City, the Guizhou Chief Registrar next to him came over.

The chief clerk's name is Kuai Rui, and he is a member of the Kuai family in Jingzhou.

He is not very old, only in his early twenties. If he were in the Ming Dynasty court, at this age, it would be impossible and impossible for him to serve as the chief registrar of a state.

Now, he has followed to Guizhou to assist Lu Rong in handling government affairs in Lan's City. This is because there is a lack of scholars in Lan's City, especially those with certain abilities, and Kuai Rui is also a member of the Kuai family.

Therefore, he was promoted to chief bookkeeper by Lu Rong.

Kuai Rui looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, our overall number of casualties has exceeded 6,000. Although the casualties of the Parthian troops should have been over. However, we have lost so many people.

, now the people in the city are not stable, and many people are panicked. Even the army, the soldiers are frightened and have lost their fighting spirit. It is very dangerous to continue to fight."

Lu Rong's eyes were solemn and he said in a deep voice: "What do you think should be done to solve this matter?"

Kuai Rui glanced at Lu Rong and said: "Under the current situation, it is natural to resist. However, we must also be prepared to retreat. Once we cannot resist, we will evacuate Lan's City. If we keep Qingshan, we can always

Come again."

Lu Rong was also weighing things quickly in his mind.

retreat!

This is a measure that is absolutely impossible to adopt unless it is a last resort.

Once he retreats, it means he is defeated.

Although he was defeated by the Parthian Kingdom before, he retreated to Lan's City and relied on the power of Lan's City to resist. As long as he blocked it, he did not commit any major problems. On the contrary, he still made meritorious deeds.

After all, the enemy is very powerful.

If he retreated and lost Lan's city and the seat and foundation of Guizhou, his sin would be great.

After Lu Rong thought clearly, he said categorically: "We can't retreat. No one can have any thoughts of retreat. Once they do, they will definitely lose and lose their fighting spirit."

Lu Rong, who has gone through the experience of the center, is not as good as Zhuge Jin, Yang Xiu, Kan Ze, etc., but his vision and ability are not bad either.

Do things decisively.

Lu Rong stared at Kuai Rui and said: "Kuai Rui, if you want to return to the Kuai family in Jingzhou in despair, you can retreat. However, once you retreat, you will be charged with abandoning Lan's City.

It’s difficult to get up.”

"Are you willing?"

Lu Rong's low voice made Kuai Rui's heart skip a beat.

Qui Rui said: "I don't want to."

If he was seeking stability, he would not need to come to Tianzhu, he would just go to the Five Classics Hall to study. Because Kuai Rui had revenge, he wanted to overtake in a corner, surpass the direct disciples of the Kuai family, and surpass the disciples with more resources, so he came

To Tianzhu.

Now, he serves as the chief registrar of Guizhou.

As long as he has made meritorious service, he will definitely have the opportunity to serve as the governor of a place in the future, and maybe he will also have the opportunity to serve as the governor.

Seeing that Lu Rong was determined to fight again, Kuai Rui solemnly said: "Your Majesty, what do you think we should do? This time, we will listen to your opinion on what we should do."

Seeing Kuai Rui's performance, Lu Rong smiled and said: "This is the Master Kuai I know, and he is a descendant of the Kuai family. Don't worry, we will resist with all our strength and fight with all our strength. Even if we are defeated, even if

Even if everything is lost, I believe that Your Majesty will not be able to deal with us."

"The premise is that we fight to the death."

"Now, you immediately go to the city to send a message, call the people to gather near the West City, and also call all the soldiers. I want to give a lecture. After fighting for several days, the morale is exhausted, the people are frightened, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit."

"At this time, we must boost morale and let everyone continue to fight. Otherwise, it will be difficult to persist."

Kuai Rui said: "I'll go right now."

He left in a hurry.

Lu Rong looked at Kuai Yue's leaving figure, and there was a hint of expectation on his serious face.

As long as people are united, we can continue to fight.

As long as people's hearts are stable, there will be no problem.

Lu Rong took charge personally and continued to keep an eye on the corpses on the city tower. In the evening, Kuai Rui came back to report that everyone had been summoned, both the soldiers in the city and the people in the city.

Lu Rong got off the tower and headed towards the place where the people and soldiers gathered.

This area is very empty.

An area open enough to accommodate at least 100,000 people.

Lu Rong raised his head and looked ahead, and found that there were still many people gathered. However, because the area around the high platform where Lu Rong was giving lectures was already overcrowded, it was completely crowded, so the newcomers could not gain a foothold and could only stay from a distance.

Watch.

Lu Rong came to the stage, listened to the noisy discussion around him, raised his hand and lowered his head.

The surrounding voices fell silent.

Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Rong, and Lu Rong said: "Folks, I am Lu Rong, the governor of Guizhou, and the person responsible for resisting the Parthian army this time."

There was no reaction from the surroundings.

Many people know it.

Lu Rong introduced his identity and continued again: "The reason why we called the villagers together today is to resist the Parthian army. Relying on your strong support, we fought for four consecutive days and blocked the enemy's attack.

."

"It's just that right now, His Majesty the Emperor is still mobilizing troops, and our reinforcements are still on their way."

"What we have to do is wait until reinforcements arrive."

"If our Lan City is breached before the reinforcements arrive, then all our efforts will be in vain."

Lu Rong first thanked the soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, a key point was thrown out. The emperor wanted to rush to rescue Lan City and sent troops, but they were still halfway there. In fact, Lu Rong had not received any news for the time being and did not know when the reinforcements would arrive.

.

Lu Rong has no choice now.

To stabilize people's hearts, we must make the people below have fighting spirit, so we can only lie to stabilize people's hearts. Sure enough, Lu Rong's words stabilized people's hearts, and many of the soldiers and people who were talking gradually lost their anxiety.

Everyone knows that the emperor is very powerful.

Everyone knows that the emperor's army is invincible.

Lu Rong listened to the discussions around him, waited for the soldiers and people to discuss for a while, then signaled everyone to be quiet, and continued: "These days, I have been collecting news about the Parthian Kingdom, and I have also learned a lot about the Parthian Kingdom."

"The system in Anxi's country is similar to that of Tianzhu in the past. Those at the top are nobles, and those below are similar to slaves."

"Once they break Lan's City, all the systems established by the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed. All your land, money, and food will belong to the nobles of the Parthian Kingdom, and you can only become slaves and fight for Parthia.

The nobles are busy."

"All this is the situation in Parthia."

Lu Rong actually had no idea about the situation in Parthia.

All I know is that Parthian power is very strong.
