After a long rain, I felt upset, as if the huge city was soaked. In a few days, life would be even harder.

Chen Sanlang was carrying his hands on his back and stood under the eaves watching the rain flowing down the tiles, slightly ecstatic.

"Report!"

The door cried anxiously.

"What's the matter?"

"The spies from the east gate of the city reported urgently that they found a large number of people coming."

"Um?"

Chen Sanlang was stunned. Could it be that the barbarian army was fighting? It was impossible, how could it be so fast? He didn't think much about it and stepped out.

"Young master, straw raincoat!"

I came over and helped him put it on.

Get it!

Take several riders to the east gate.

The autumn rain continued, and pedestrians were rarely seen on the street. It was depressing. Horse hooves trampled on the street bricks, splashing water. Soon we arrived at the city gate, got off our horses, climbed up the steps, and climbed to the top of the city.

After a while, Jiang Caoqi also came to hear the news, and the three hundred heavy cavalry followed. The current situation is that if the barbarian army really comes, with these heavy cavalry, they will have the power to fight.

"Sanlang, is there really someone here to fight the city?"

Jiang Caoqi asked in a low voice.

Chen Sanlang replied: "It doesn't look very similar, you'll know what to do after a while."

The rain curtain was fine, and the vision was blocked, so I couldn't see far. After waiting for about half an hour, I finally saw that group of people, with shadows and a large number of people. There were really a lot of people, and there were two or three thousand.

Above the city wall, the guards' hearts tightened slightly.

When the other party approached a little, Chen Sanlang looked strange when he saw it.

This group of people looked like they were defeated soldiers at first glance, scattered and wet. In order to reduce the burden, the armor on their bodies was thrown away, wrapped in ragged cloth, weapons, big swords, and long spears in their hands were all used as crutches and were leaned in their hands. If there was nothing to support them, they would probably fall down.

Not only were they defeated, they were also at the end of their strength and were extremely weak.

The leader of the team had about dozens of horses, but he was completely lost. Looking at the horses, they were so thin that it made people feel distressed.

If you can’t see the banner, you should have thrown them all out when you are defeated. Without the banner, it is difficult to tell where it is.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not the Barbarian Army. After all, Laoshan Prefecture has just been stable for a while and is not ready for a big battle.

Jiang Caoqi opened his eyes wide and looked at the crowd under the city, saying, "Are they all the rebels who escaped from the prefectures and counties? Why did they run to our Laoshan Prefecture?"

"Yes, it's them."

At this time, Chen Sanlang had already recognized the leader of the horse riding Mo Xuanyi.

Although I have not seen each other for a long time, Chen Sanlang was deeply impressed by him, so he could identify it.

On that day, Mo Xuanyi had sent an envoy to invite Laoshan Prefecture to send troops to form an alliance, and to recommend Chen Sanlang as the leader of the alliance. Chen Sanlang laughed and asked the envoy Liu Yuan to have a meal, so he sent them away.

I knew everything later.

Some guessed Mo Xuanyi's intention to come. Chen Sanlang shouted, "Open the city gate and we go out to greet each other."

Jiang Caoqi said: "Sanlang is careful of fraud."

Chen Sanlang smiled and said, "I'm not afraid, I can't make up the wind and waves."

Jiang Caoqi thought it was true, and the people under the city were so weak that they could fall down after pushing each other, without any combat power. With three hundred cavalry on his side, there was nothing to worry about.

Immediately accompanied Chen Sanlang down, opened the city gate, and rode his horse out of the city. The heavy cavalry guarded both sides and made a horrifying sound of killing.

Hearing the powerful sound of horse hooves, it was like hitting the heart, Mo Xuanyi's team subconsciously retreated. They were exhausted, and when they had any contact and collision with each other, they fell down in a mess.

Mo Xuan thought, his eyes slighted with pain. He had a strategy and good governance of the army. Otherwise, he would not have started from scratch and established such a Dongting Army. However, when the prefectures and counties suffered great defeat and fled all the way. With hunger and cold, the morale of the army had fallen to the bottom and had no choice but to do anything else.

Chen Sanlang rode a horse to the front of Mo Xuanyi and asked, "What are you thinking when you come here?"

Mo Xuanyi turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and said, "Young Master, we are here to join us. Please accept us."

As he said that, he knelt down on the ground.

At this point, any posture is useless. It is better to show it directly and show sincerity.

The cavalry accompanied them also dismounted and knelt all over the ground. Then thousands of soldiers knelt down, and they were all black and shouted: "Young Master, benevolent, please accept me!"

Chen Sanlang jumped off his horse, helped Mo Xuanyi up, and smiled and said, "General Mo doesn't have to be too polite. You must be hungry when you travel all the way, so you can go to the military camp to rest and have a meal.

Jiangcao looked at each other and nodded secretly. The city is just when people are employed. People should accept talents, but there are also some considerations for acceptance. It is not enough to be too enthusiastic; it is not enough not to take people into consideration. It is high above and arrogant, and it is inevitable that people will feel cold.

Chen Sanlang acted like this and took it very appropriately.

The military camp of Laoshan Prefecture is not small, and there is no need to be crowded with three or four thousand people. During these days, Jiangcao Qi was recruiting soldiers and thus built many barracks in advance. However, the number of new recruits is really limited, and there is no way. It is hard to cook without rice. There are only a few people in the city, with very few young and strong people, and there is no exchange of migrant population. How many soldiers can be recruited?

The absence of recruits has resulted in many barracks being empty, which is now in handy.

The big pots were already set up in one mouthful, and the fire was burned, and the flames were strong. Half of these big pots were boiled in water and half of them.

Whether it is hot water or hot porridge, ginger slices are placed inside to drive away the cold.

Nearly a hundred large pots, each of which is two meters in size, is a veritable large iron pot, but it is still not enough to use it now.

It seems that a large number of pots must be cast.

The Dongting army was tired and hungry for a long time, but they didn't have a good time to eat dry rice and eat meat, so they cooked porridge and warmed their stomachs first.

Seeing this scene, Mo Xuanyi felt mixed emotions and had all kinds of feelings. Before coming to join him, he had a lot of struggle. He had once joined Yuan Geshu. He thought he could show his ambitions and make achievements, but he did not expect that he would end up like this and leave Yangzhou without any life. After this incident, he had become very wary of joining and relying on others.

But at present, in the difficult situation, in order for the Dongting Army to be preserved, he had to make another choice and come to join Chen Sanlang. Along the way, Mo Xuanyi was worried that he would be rejected and would not be accepted because Chen Sanlang had enough reason to do so. Fortunately, this worry did not happen. They did not make the wrong choice, at least they would have something to eat now and would not starve to death.

Chen Sanlang and Jiang Caoqi stood there, and Jiang Caoqi asked, "Sanlang, how do you arrange it?"

Chen Sanlang thought for a while and said, "You don't need to doubt people, you don't have to use them!"
