Chapter 355: Reinforcements

General Peng was killed in battle, and died on the battlefield in order to help the army of the ancient city successfully transfer. He did not resent himself for being wronged, nor did he retaliate for being imprisoned, he looked up to the sky, bowed down to the earth, and felt no guilt in his heart! Li Quan blamed himself for his death, and he had no shame to refute Gao Lang's invective.

"Gao Lang, I warn you, don't go too far! Whatever General Li says is for Gu Pingzhou, even if he catches the wrong General Peng, it is not intentional, he has already admitted his mistake, what else should you do? How can you, a junior officer, be so arrogant and rude!" At this time, the adjutant general next to Li couldn't look past it and accused Gao Lang.

The adjutant general's words immediately aroused the anger of the defenders, who immediately glared at them!

Gao Lang sneered: "For the sake of Gu Pingzhou? Then you tell me, who is the current Gu Pingzhou? I will be arrogant and rude, what can you do? Lao Tzu tells you, Lao Tzu is now waiting for death, the city is broken and I will die, no one will give face to Lao Tzu, you all give Lao Tzu a go, you are not welcome in Pingcheng!"

The adjutant general was speechless for a while, what else would he care about for a person who was not even afraid of death?

"Gao Lang, I understand your feelings, but only Pingcheng is still holding on to the entire Gupingzhou, and we, as soldiers of the Shuntian Empire, must defend the city! I still say that, you can beat me and scold me, but we can't leave! I have sent someone to ask the court for help again, Gupingzhou has been thrown away from my hands, this last city must not be thrown away from my eyes again, even if I die, I will die in the battle to defend this land! You can resent me, but you don't refuse our sincerity, Pingcheng really can't be lost again! Li Quan said persistently.

Gao Lang looked at Li Quan, and only after a while did he speak: "Whatever you want, if I find out that you have other plans, I will kill you with my own hands!" Then he ignored Li Quan and walked towards Ye Heng.

"Little brother, you are the first team to support Guping Prefecture, on behalf of all the people of Pingcheng, thank you, please accept my worship!" As he spoke, Gao Lang knelt down in front of Ye Heng.

Ye Heng hurriedly helped him up and said, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, General Gao, please get up!"

Gao Lang got up and asked, "What do you call the little brother?"

"In the lower leaf Heng. Ye Heng hurriedly replied.

"Brother Ye Heng, it stands to reason that you came to support us regardless of life and death, and you should have been treated well, but the food and grass in the city have long been insufficient, and I really can't offer anything to reward you, I'm really sorry!" Gao Lang said with great shame.

"General Gao doesn't have to be like this, we are only here to serve the empire, if there is anything we need to do, you can give the order!" Ye Heng said.

"Well, then, rest in the city, and I'll look around, and I'll come to you if I need it." Gao Lang said after a while.

"Then I'll go with you, and by the way, get acquainted with the situation in the city. Ye Heng said.

Gao Lang nodded in agreement, and Ye Heng told Lan Jiayue to arrange for everyone to rest, and he left with General Gao.

Liu Quan looked at Gao Lang's back and had mixed feelings in his heart, and finally he ordered his army to help build the city wall, and he began to look around.

"Repair this place, if the materials are not enough, tear down the city lord's mansion, and bring all the stones and timber over, and the rebels must not be easily attacked!" Gao Lang walked to a section of the badly damaged city wall and said to the officers and soldiers around him.

"The rebels have withdrawn, quickly organize people to transfer the people in the city, although it is hard to leave their hometowns, at least there is still a way to live! Tell the people that it is best to go north, Jinyang Prefecture is the safest. Seeing that the people in the city were helping to carry the materials, Gao Lang said to an officer.

"Report to the general, we have already started to organize the transfer, but not many people are willing to leave, and those who remain in the city now are all people who are willing to live and die with Pingcheng. The officer explained.

"Women and children must go! Whether they want it or not, they must be sent away! Go and execute it at once, hear me!" shouted Gao Lang.

"Yes!" the officer agreed, and immediately turned and ran away.

Soon after, Gao Lang came to the room and said to the cook, "I know that there is a shortage of food, but we must ensure that the wounded and sick are fed, even if they drink porridge, and put all the rice in their bowls." ”

The person in charge here said in embarrassment: "General Gao, it's not that we don't do our best, it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice! Everything that can be eaten in the city has been concentrated here, not to mention rice, and now even the bark and leaves are almost eaten up, and we can't do anything!"

"Can't we think of a way anymore? Brothers are born and die, we can't starve them all to death!" Gao Lang said helplessly.

"General Gao, I still have some food here, so let's take it to solve the urgent needs in the city first. Ye Heng said, and took out the grain and grass in the gift ring given by Kong Ying, and immediately filled the open space here.

Gao Lang saw the sudden mountain of grain in front of him, looked at Ye Heng in shock, suddenly knelt on the ground, and said loudly with a crying voice: "Thank you Brother Ye Heng, I thank you on behalf of the soldiers and civilians of the city!"

"Thank you, little brother!" The surrounding chefs also bowed to Ye Heng. Let's have a book

"General Gao, please get up, everyone, please get up!" Ye Heng hurriedly said and helped Gao Lang up.

"Brother Ye Heng, thank you for your great kindness, if Gao doesn't die, he will be a cow and a horse in the future to repay today's kindness!" Gao Lang said excitedly.

"General Gao's words are serious, Ye Heng is not here for anyone, nor is it for anyone to reciprocate. Let's prepare a meal, if there are not enough people, there are some cooks in my team, let's do it together, let the soldiers and civilians in the city have a full meal today. Ye Heng said.

"Just listen to Brother Ye Heng! What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and make a fire to cook!" Gao Lang shouted excitedly. He was still worried about the lack of food in the city, if there was still no supply, it would not take a few days, and there would be no rebels to attack, they would take the initiative to give up Pingcheng and continue to stay here, and they could only starve to death!

"General Gao, I still have some silver taels on me, if you need anything, go buy it immediately. As he spoke, Ye Heng took out a thick stack of silver tickets.

Gao Lang waved his hand and said: "Brother Ye Heng, I know that you have good intentions, but it's a pity that it is wartime, and there are rebels all around, and there is no place to spend money!"

Ye Heng thought for a while and said, "That's it, you see what else you need in the city, I'll find a way to buy it!"

Gao Lang looked at Ye Heng, as if he had guessed Ye Heng's thoughts, and said: "Brother, it's too dangerous to do that, you must not take any chances! With this food, it is enough for us to hold on for a while, let's wait for the reinforcements from the imperial court!"

Ye Heng thought about it, it stands to reason that the reinforcements from the imperial court should also arrive, so he dispelled the thoughts in his heart, and then followed Gao Lang to continue to check around.

The 30,000 troops mobilized by the Shuntian Empire to aid Guping Prefecture were stationed in Linhan Prefecture, which bordered Guping Prefecture, at this time, and their leader was Ouyang Chen, the eldest brother of Ouyang Jian, a native of Prince Qing's mansion. At this time, Ouyang Chen was pacing back and forth in the Chinese army camp.

The imperial court had already issued three holy decrees urging him to rush to Gupingzhou, but Ouyang Chen deliberately delayed time. The grain transported by the imperial court to Gupingzhou was withheld by him batch after batch, and even the people who conveyed the holy decree were also detained in the army.

"Report!" Received a message from the birds of prey!" Suddenly, someone outside the tent lowered his voice and reported.

Ouyang Chen immediately returned to the center seat and sat down, and then said, "Submit it!"

A soldier immediately sent in the unopened secret letter, Ouyang Chen took the secret letter and did not open it immediately, but asked the soldier, "When you received the secret letter, were you discovered by others?"

"Report to the general, no one has found out, as soon as I receive the secret letter, I will send it to you. The soldier replied immediately.

"You did a good job, this is a reward for you, take it!" Ouyang Chen took out a silver ticket from his body and sent it to the soldier.

The soldier was overjoyed, stretched out his hands to take the silver ticket, and was even more happy when he saw the denomination, and thanked him vigorously.

"Okay, let's go!" Ouyang Chen said lightly.

"General, you are busy, the villain will not bother!" the soldier retired, thinking happily about how to celebrate the fortune that fell from the sky.

It's just that as soon as the soldier turned around, the smile on his face suddenly froze, his eyes widened, his mouth opened wide but he couldn't make a sound, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, dyeing the camp red! I saw that behind him, a palm hit the back of his heart, and this palm was full of strength, which immediately shattered the soldier's heart and killed him on the spot!

Ouyang Chen's palm came out without warning, and the soldier would never have thought that his immediate boss would kill him. One moment ago, he was happily thinking that he was following the right person, and he would inevitably live a good life in the future, but the next moment he was killed with a palm, and he was killed!

"Don't blame me for being ruthless, blame me for not knowing too much. Ouyang Chen took out a beautiful handkerchief and wiped his hands, and said to the soldier who fell to the ground, "I don't want anyone to know about my affairs, only the dead can keep it absolutely secret, so you must die!"

After speaking, Ouyang Chen returned to the table with the secret letter, then opened it and carefully examined its contents. After Ouyang Chen finished reading the secret letter, he immediately set fire to destroy it, and then said loudly outside the tent: "General Chuanwang came to see me!"

After a while, a burly man entered Ouyang Chen's camp, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the corpse of the soldier, but he didn't take a second look, but asked, "Big brother, what are you looking for me?"

"Wang Ming, I'm going to leave secretly for a few days, during this time the army is under your command, you just need to continue to be stationed here, you must not act casually, understand?" Ouyang Chen admonished.

"Understood!" Wang Ming agreed, although his heart was full of doubts, he didn't know why Ouyang Chen, as the supreme leader of the army, wanted to leave in such an emergency. However, Wang Ming understands a truth, that is, don't ask about what you shouldn't know, and don't ask if you shouldn't ask yourself, just don't know anything. Curiosity can not only kill cats, but also kill people!

"Wang Ming, you dispose of the corpse, if anyone asks, just say that this is an assassin sent by the rebels to assassinate me, and I killed him on the spot during the assassination. And I was seriously injured in the fight with the assassins, and I have to take care of my injuries these days, and you will take care of all the affairs in the army, understand?"
