Li Yi was not the only one who knew the news from the scouts.
The refugees had lived in the forest with their companions for a long time, so their information channels were very wide.
When some of the tall and strong refugees entered the city, they were asked by the guards if they were willing to be banished to serve as the garrison force of Pan County.
The mouth that eats people is short, but the hand that takes people is soft.
Moreover, it was not a very scary thing to be a soldier in Youzhou.
To be precise, he was a soldier under Li Yi.
All the refugees in Pan County knew that General Li Yi was the guardian of Youzhou and Pan County.
As long as he was not a child, the people all over Youzhou knew that Li Yi had never lost a battle.
Moreover, the soldiers under him would not suffer many losses even after a great battle.
This was the reputation that Li Yi had built in Youzhou over the past five years.
With more people joining the army, the Pan County Army had gained a lot of manpower.
But the bad thing was-
The refugees had all escaped from the city with their families. When the young and strong joined the army, the news they heard in the army would naturally be passed on to their relatives.
Thus, the news of the two hundred thousand strong Turkic army besieging Pan County began to spread among the people.
For a moment, everyone's hearts were inevitably wavering.
In a teahouse in Pan County.
Most of the refugees who had settled down lived in empty houses in the city. They did not care if there were any dead people in the houses. After all, they had seen more dead people than living people during this period of time.
Once people settled down, they would worry that their hard-earned lives would be disrupted.
Therefore, everyone gathered at a place like the teahouse.
"Do you know that the Turkic army is about to attack?”
A man asked mysteriously.
The tables around them turned around when they heard that.
"So what if I know?"
The village woman shouted loudly,
"General Li Yi is in Pan County. What are you afraid of?”
The man beside her pulled her and said,"
"What do you know, woman? Sit down and lower your voice!"
The man who spoke at the beginning waved his hand and said,
"It's fine, it's not that I don't trust General Li.”
"On the contrary, if there's a general in our Great Tang that is most worthy of following, it would definitely be General Li Yi!”
The village woman had probably received a great favor from Li Yi and was straightforward. When she heard the man's words, her expression softened a little.
She stopped shouting and lowered her voice.
"Then what did you mean by that?”
The man sighed and said,
"The people of Youzhou naturally trust General Li Yi.”
"But do you know that the Turks are mobilizing two to three hundred thousand soldiers to encircle and suppress Pan County?”
"We only have one county. How many people can go to the battlefield at most? Thirty thousand? Fifty thousand?"
"Sigh…General Li Yi is a god-like soldier, but the Turks have the advantage in numbers.”
In the teahouse, everyone was originally discussing among themselves, and it could be considered to be noisy.
However, as the man spoke, the place gradually quieted down.
By the time he finished speaking, the place was dead silent.
What the man said was actually what most people thought.
On one hand, the citizens of Youzhou worshipped Li Yi almost blindly.
This was not only because he had guarded Youzhou for five years, but also because he had defeated 50,000 Turks in the first battle and successively recovered the thirteen cities of Youzhou.
But on the other hand, everyone was deeply wary of the Turkic army of three hundred thousand.
Although there were only about 250,000 soldiers left, it was still an incomparable number for the military strength of Pan County!
They were already crushed in terms of numbers. What was going on?
……
Li Yi knew that the people in Pan County City were wavering.
This was very normal.
If the common people heard that they were going to use thirty to fifty thousand troops to fight against the enemy's two hundred thousand troops, they would have already mutiny.
There was no chaos in the city because Li Yi was here.
Everyone was already giving him face…
He still had to do it himself to stabilize the people's hearts.
He chuckled and shook his head.
"Men."
With a command, the guards outside the tent came in and waited for instructions.
Li Yi pointed in the direction of the city gate and said,
"I wanted you to do something."
Four hours later.
The people of Pan County noticed that the soldiers on the city wall were pointing into the distance and whispering to each other.
This caused them to panic, thinking that the Turkic army was about to surround them.
A busybody asked loudly,
"What are you guys discussing up there? So what if it was outside the city? The Turks are here?"
The soldiers looked at each other.
After asking for the opinion of his superior, a soldier ran down from the city wall.
"It's not the Turks, it's the general. He erected a monument outside the city!”
Monument?
What monument?
Looking at everyone's puzzled gazes, the soldier explained,"
" General, you drew a circle with lime eight hundred paces outside the city. In the circle, you erected a stone tablet with the words-"
"Those who enter the circle will die!"
After saying that, he hurriedly ran back to the city wall to stand guard.
Only the people were left in an uproar!
