Chapter 701
Chapter 702
Huo Shao didn't have the time, let alone the thought, to pick up Qian Zhenfu and others, not to mention that they only had less than 500 people left.Of course, if you include the injured soldiers in the previous camp, the number will be much larger.But in this way, it makes their team look even more unusable, and it will definitely become a burden if they are brought with them.

Huo Shao naturally already knew about the situation in Yin County, and that was why he ignored envoy Qian Zhen. After asking about one of the troops, he immediately led his men to join the large group of troops.

Huo Shao may have wanted to regain some ground for himself after his stupidity was announced to the world, but unfortunately, the emperor was unwilling to do so.However, there is still a time difference. At least in these few days, Huo Shao still occupies the position of the commander-in-chief.

They can't take care of these things for the time being. They have too much to take care of themselves at the moment. The Tatar soldiers who have occupied Qingzhou and Lanzhou Prefecture began to jump up and down again after two days of silence, and soon they arrived at the gate of Yin County.

Although the number was only five thousand, the pressure was already great enough for a small county.

There is no garrison in the county, only a dozen government officials.Qian Zhenfu became the largest official in Yin County, but his injuries were too serious and he could not get out of bed. He often fell into a coma due to emotional excitement, which was extremely detrimental to the war, let alone recuperation.And under him, there is only one general like Wang Xiao left, and no one else has the ability to lead troops.But although Wang Xiao is capable, he still lacks the skills to lead an army.

So, when the Tatar soldiers attacked for the third time, Qian Zhenfu envoy asked people to invite Sheng Xi from the wounded soldiers camp.

At that time, Sheng Xi had just finished an operation on a wounded soldier who had recovered some strength after being nursed for a few days. Although she was wearing a smock, the bloody smell still penetrated through the smock, so that when she got close to Qian Zhenfu, she , the other party straightened up suddenly, fearing that Sheng Xi would stab him in the stomach again.

Sheng Xi probably guessed why Qian Zhenfu asked him to come, so he sat on a chair nearby without saying a word, waiting for Qian Zhenfu to speak.

Qian Zhenfuzhi looked at the girl sitting opposite him, seeing that she was almost the same age as his daughter, and then thinking about the predicament in front of him, he was filled with emotions for a while, and he didn't know where to start the conversation.

Sheng Xi waited for a while and didn't hear anyone speak, so he simply asked directly: "Your Majesty called me here, do you want me to lead people to fight the Tatar soldiers outside?"

Qian Zhenfu raised his head suddenly and looked at Sheng Xi with shock flashing in his eyes: "Madam, how come you..." Do you know?He has never mentioned it to anyone!Moreover, although he did have this plan in his mind, the moment he saw Sheng Xi, he had already suppressed this idea.

Even though Sheng Xi is more powerful than ordinary people and more courageous and resourceful than those of them who are used to being soldiers, she is still a girl after all.She was only over ten years old, so she was supposed to be protected, not to take the lead, and in turn protect the rough old men like them behind her...

Seeing his surprise, Sheng Xi just smiled softly and said: "Although there is a city wall in Yin County, the wall is low and the city gate is in disrepair. That is to say, the Tatar soldiers have not been serious these days, and there are more people coming. It was the Tatar general who faced us in Lanzhou Mansion before. He wanted to play tricks on us, so we breathed a sigh of relief. But if they come with more people, or if they bring in more siege weapons, the city will definitely be very difficult. It will break soon."

She had a calm expression on her face when she said this, as if everything was expected, and she didn't feel panic at all.

Qian Zhenfu opened and closed his mouth and involuntarily uttered a soft "ah". After a while, he finally realized something was wrong and hurriedly closed his mouth, but his gaze deepened at Sheng Xi.

But Sheng Xi didn't wait for him to speak, and then said: "Your Majesty's instructions are that we are in the same boat now, and we can only find a way out if we work together in the same boat, right?"

Sheng Xi looked at Qian Zhenfu with slightly arched eyebrows, having already thought things through in her mind.She would definitely not be able to go back in this situation. Even if she did leave, she would have to turn back again after she hit the road.It's just a pity that I was afraid that Shen Anhe's wedding would have to be postponed.

After coming back to his senses, Qian Zhenfu said hurriedly: "No, no, no, no! Ah, no, I mean, Madam is right. Only by working together in the same boat can we find a way out. Qian said no, but he meant that I was asking for something. Madam Yu, how dare you give orders!"

He is not blind, but can be said to be sharp. Just from leaving the city, it can be seen that Sheng Xi definitely has the ability to lead troops, and is more flexible, more capable of judging the situation, and more powerful than him.If this is placed in the camp, it will be regarded as a general.It's just because the other party is a woman, and she is the wife of Shen Shilang, a second-grade imperial concubine. With such an identity, she is the person who stays in the deep house and is in charge of the central government. How can she be connected with this chaotic and brutal battlefield.

But the facts are right in front of us, and it’s impossible not to believe them.And even if the situation is unbelievable, we still have to ask people to write letters.Because there is really no other way.

Qian Zhenfu tightened his eyebrows, and after a long while he finally sighed and said, "Madam, you can see more clearly than Qian, and better than many of us." Qian Zhenfu suddenly smiled bitterly, "Qian, this is also the case. There is really no other way. Thousands of people behind him are innocent and have been implicated by this war. As a soldier of Li State, Qian should have dedicated his life to protecting the people, but now... Madam, Qian is indeed If I want you to help sit in charge, Madam only needs to help Wang Xiao and others make suggestions in the city, there is no need to go out of the city!"

Qian Zhenfu finally spoke out his plan, but as soon as he finished speaking, his face turned red.

He was a dignified governor, but he should have slipped up at such a critical moment. It really shouldn't have happened, it was really embarrassing!

Qian Zhenfu had never been so anxious before. It was actually more uncomfortable than when he faced the Tatar soldier's long knife and was about to be stabbed through the abdomen.

He didn't dare to look at Sheng Xi, and even felt that he was too despicable.At this time, asking a girl to help him jack up the tank is simply not something a man can do!

Secretly gritting his teeth, Qian Zhenfu suddenly regretted it.However, before he could say anything he regretted, Sheng Xi nodded and said, "Okay, I will help you guard the city!"

"Uh-huh," Commander Qian Zhenfu suddenly raised his head to look at Sheng Xi. For a moment, his eyes turned red disobediently.

Although Sheng Xi was given military power against the rules, no one raised any objection at this time.After seeing Sheng Xi's fighting prowess and archery skills, all the soldiers admired him.In addition to his decisiveness and good medical skills, he has already found a place in the hearts of these soldiers.

The matter of Sheng Xi taking over the military power was surprisingly smooth.

And after she took the job, the first thing she did was to send people out to find out the news. Unexpectedly, they actually brought them back... How many people?
