Datang romantic little landlord

"Be careful, don't try to be brave."

"Yes, I see." With the help of Su Zhangqing, Li Wangyou got up, changed into a smart Hu suit, and kissed the beautiful boss's face lightly, then pushed the door and walked out.

In the courtyard of the hotel, Niu Wu and the Zhang family brothers were already waiting here.

"Lang Jun, listen to the sound of the drum..." Before Niu Wu finished speaking, Li Wangyou waved his hand to show that he knew.

The reason why the sound of the drum made Li Wangyou's face a little ugly was because he, Niu Wu and the others could clearly hear that there were at least five bronze drums ringing outside the city.

For the Liao people, this bronze drum is a symbol of the tribe.

"Wei Shu · Liao Biography" records, "Often push an elder to be the king, and they cannot be ruled from afar. When the father dies, the son succeeds, just like the nobles in China. The Liao kings each have a pair of drums and horns, so that their children can blow themselves Of."

The drum among them is the bronze drum.

The bronze drums of the Liao people are both musical instruments and war drums.

Every Liaoren tribe has a bronze drum as the inheritance of the tribal leader, and when the father dies, the son succeeds.

These bronze drums are tall and have fine patterns.When the bronze drum sounds, it often means war.

"Sui Shu Geography Zhi" said, "If you want to attack each other, then beat this drum, and those who arrive are like clouds."

At this moment, outside Jiulong County, there were actually five bronze drums sounding, which meant that at least five Liao tribes had participated in the rebellion.

And these Liaoren tribes usually have thousands of Liaoren.

In this way, even if each household sent only one Liaoren to help in the battle, there would be at least [-] Liaoren outside Jiulong County holding weapons and ready to move.

Li Wangyou thought that there were only two hundred government soldiers in the city, and a hundred government servants and minzhuang, and suddenly felt a chill.

With such a huge disparity in military strength, even those Liao people lacked the weapons and equipment to attack the city, but if they tried their best to attack Jiulong County, they might not be able to resist it.

Now, I can only pray that the reinforcements from the Governor's Mansion in Yizhou will arrive earlier.

Li Wangyou led Niu Wu and the other three to the city wall in a hurry, but Dugu Feng and Wang Yichun had already arrived.

Looking up, there are already many Liao people under the city wall of Jiulong County.

In the south of the city, which had been silent last night, at this time, nearly a thousand Liao people with weapons came out from the jungle on both sides of the official road.

Needless to say, these Liao people are the ambush soldiers who ambushed in the south of the city last night.

Wang Yichun didn't quite believe what Niu Wu said at first, but when he saw these Liao people appearing, his face turned pale.

He never expected that these barbarians would be so cunning that they really set up an ambush in the south of the city, waiting for someone from Jiulong County to be fooled and open the south gate to escape before sneaking up on those who left the city.

Even Li Wangyou and Niu Wu felt scared for a while.

If they hadn't been blocked in the city by the fleeing crowd, they would have rushed out of Jiulong county on horseback yesterday, and they would have fallen into the trap of the Liao people.

Niu Wu and the Zhang family brothers alone may not be able to protect Li Wangyou and Su Changqing's three daughters from the encirclement.

Dugufeng's face was also quite ugly. As the county magistrate of Jiulong County, he had been the county magistrate for four years before, and he knew the Liao people quite well, so he naturally knew what it meant when the five bronze drums were beating outside the city at this time.

Li Wangyou patted him lightly on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Don't panic in the Dugu Ming Palace, although the bureaucrats are powerful, but for a while, there is nothing they can do about Jiulong County. When the army arrives, these Liao people have nothing to fear."

"Yes, what the father-in-law said is very true, and the subordinate officials think so too."

While the two were talking, they saw a middle-aged man wearing a cloth barrel skirt walking out of the woods outside the city, surrounded by dozens of strong and strong Liao men holding weapons to protect him.

The middle-aged man stood a hundred meters away, carefully guarding against the arrows shot down from the city wall, and yelled loudly towards the top of the city.

Naturally, Li Wangyou couldn't understand what the officials were talking about, so he could only cast his eyes on Dugufeng who was at the side.

Dugu Fengjiu was an official in Sichuan, but he could understand Liao's words, after hearing what the man said, he couldn't help showing anger.

"Dugu Mingfu, what did the Liao people say?" Li Wangyou asked curiously.

"My lord, that person is the father and tribal leader of the Liaoren who robbed the young lady from a good family before. This time the rebellion and siege of Jiulong County was also initiated by this person's contact in the middle. Just now he shouted from the city, asking the officials to offer copper coins A thousand guns, a hundred women, plus a hundred oxen and a hundred horses, they will not attack the county seat, but retreat on their own."

Hearing this, Li Wangyou couldn't help sneering: "These bureaucrats have a big appetite, but they are not afraid to kill themselves. Don't pay attention to these bureaucrats. If they want to fight, just come and wait for the Governor's Mansion of Yizhou When the reinforcements arrive, we will settle accounts with them."

Wang Yichun on the side opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he held back and closed his mouth.

In his opinion, it is entirely possible to have a good discussion with the Liao people.Except for the matter of giving away women, it is not easy to talk about other copper coins, cattle and horses, you can talk about it.

It's just that he knew that Li Wangyou didn't like him, so he could only endure it, not to get into trouble.

Dugufeng nodded, and when he was about to shout down, another accident occurred in the city...

886 Crazy with Hate, Where the Long Sword Goes

But I saw the leader of the Liao people under the city beckoning behind him, and after a while, several Liao people dragged a man dressed as a yamen servant and got out of the woods.

The yamen servant's clothes were filthy, and there was a lot of blood on his body. It was obvious that he had fought a lot when he was arrested by the Liao people.

When Dugu Feng saw that person, he immediately showed a look of horror.

"This...how is this possible!"

Seeing that he was so panicked, Li Wangyou quickly asked: "Dugu Mingfu, what happened? The arrested yamen servant is from your county yamen?"

Dugufeng had the expression of seeing a ghost on his face, and he stuttered a little.

"Yes, yes, back, back to my lord, that person, that person is an officer in the county government. The lower official, the lower official came yesterday, so I ordered him to go out of the city and ride a fast horse to Chengdu County for help."

"What?" Li Wangyou and Wang Yichun beside him exclaimed at the same time.

Everyone naturally understood the meaning of Dugu Feng's words.

The yamen servant he sent to ask for help was actually caught by the Liaoren, so it was obvious that the reinforcements that everyone was looking forward to would never come.

The Governor's Mansion of Yizhou, which is located in Chengdu County, must not have known about the Liaoren rebellion in Jiulong County, Pengzhou.

Things are getting serious!

Li Wangyou couldn't help turning his head to look at Niu Wu and the Zhang family brothers, wanting to see what suggestions they had.

If there were no reinforcements, Li Wangyou would not be sure whether he could hold Jiulong County.

Two or three days, it's okay to say, but if the Liao people besiege for a long time, the city will be broken sooner or later.

After all, three hundred versus five thousand, the disparity in strength is too great.

Niu Wu, the former soldier king of the White Army of the Sui Dynasty, and the Zhang brothers, the two veteran soldiers of the Jinwu Guard, also frowned at this time, staring at the city without saying a word.

They knew better than Li Wangyou and Dugu Feng, the county magistrate, how dangerous the situation was.
