When Tong Zhifu heard this, his face turned even paler.
"What should I do then?"
Yu Weigang glanced at the two prefects who looked panicked, frowned and sighed.
"What to do—Ah!"
"We can only rely on those four to five thousand elite soldiers to resist."
"I'm sure both of you have seen that the drought in East Gate City has lasted too long. The soldiers defending the city have long since collapsed and are completely unable to resist."
Yu Weigang took a deep breath, pursed his lips and looked at the two of them.
"Fortunately, the two gentlemen brought so many elite soldiers with them. I believe that with their strength, they can definitely hold back the rebels until reinforcements arrive from the imperial court!"
Prefect Tong's expression paused and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
These elite soldiers have absolutely no strength at all.
If he was really that powerful, how could he escape from Shiquan City?
The disparity in numbers and weapons was too great, and they couldn't resist for long.
"But who will command those elite soldiers?"
"Without a good general to lead these elite troops into battle, they would be no different from a pile of loose sand."
"As a civil servant, I can't help even if I want to..."
Prefect Tong frowned and looked at the two prefects. He didn't know how to give orders anyway.
Yu Weigang raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Prefect Tian.
"I remember that Lord Tian led troops to suppress bandits when he was young, so he has some experience."
"So, this important task must belong to Master Tian..."
"No, no, no..." Magistrate Tian waved his hands anxiously.
"I don't even know what year that Lord Yu said was from. I was just following the soldiers to catch the bandits. The commander was Tian Xiao, not me..."
He just went along and got some credit.
If Tian Xiao was not his nephew, he would not have been able to get this free credit.
Yu Weigang frowned in embarrassment.
"What should we do? The rebels are about to attack. If we don't deploy now, it will be too late..."
Yu Weigang's eyes swept back and forth between Prefect Tian and Prefect Tong.
"Both of you have more experience than I do in fighting rebels."
"Master Tong has fought against the rebels before, so he has experience."
"Lord Tian has led a large number of soldiers to capture bandits and has experience in fighting."
"In my opinion, why don't you join hands and lead your elite troops to fight against the rebels?"
"I will be responsible for stabilizing your rear. I will immediately mobilize water and food from the entire city and provide them to you, primarily to ensure military supplies..."
"What do you think!?"
Yu Weigang finished speaking and looked at the two of them sincerely.
Prefect Tong glanced at Prefect Tian in panic, then lowered his eyelids guiltily.
"Well, to be honest, I have important business to go to Beijing on."
"Concubine Tong is pregnant with the Emperor's eldest son, so she has a lot to think about during this pregnancy."
"I have to take the old lady to the capital to visit Concubine Tong. Keeping the dragon fetus stable is a big deal."
Having said that, Tong Zhifu clasped his fists and feinted at the two of them.
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you two to take care of the affairs of Dongmen City. I'll be leaving first..."
After Prefect Tong finished speaking, he rushed out of the prefectural office as if he was on a whirlwind, without giving anyone a chance to stop him.
He escaped from Shiquan City not to defend Dongmen City.
His sister is a child concubine and is pregnant with the dragon fetus. This is a living golden ticket to immunity from death. The emperor will definitely not kill him.
He was really stupid. Why was he wasting time with these two people in Dongmen City?
Yu Weigang looked at Prefect Tong who was running away as if being chased by a dog, and curled the corners of his lips slightly.
He turned to look at Prefect Tian.
"Then I'll have to work hard..."
"Oh!" Magistrate Tian slapped his thigh and interrupted Yu Weigang.
"I don't know where my nephew Tian Xiao has gone..."
"Don't worry, Master Yu. I'll send someone to urge them right away. How could it take so long for the reinforcements to arrive..."
As Magistrate Tian spoke, he hurried out.
Damn it, Prefect Tong’s face turned pale with fright, which shows that the strength of the Heavenly God Army is extraordinary.
Otherwise, those 5,000 elite soldiers would not have hurriedly evacuated from Shiquan City without even fighting.
Dongmen City was not under his jurisdiction, so even if he died here, it would be in vain.
Before the Heavenly God Army reaches the city gate, he should quickly follow Lord Tong and run away.
Yu Weigang stood in the middle of the main hall with his back to Tian Zhifu, watching him hurriedly run away, with a sneer on his face.
Sun Yayi, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Yu Weigang in confusion.
"grown ups....."
Dongmen City is almost becoming a dry and dead city. Is it really necessary to fight?
