Chapter 116: The Siege
How could a shrill and piercing exclamation not attract curious eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 InfoThe first person to rush to hear the news was Ji Ruolan, who was very fond of her
The one of the concubines. Coming slowly with broken lotus steps, with a displeased look on his face, surrounded by a group of little girls with flowers and branches
came slowly, and the voice of displeasure still came one step ahead of her, "What is the noise, is there any rule?" "Follow them
and saw something. When he saw the thing, his face instantly defecated, and he let out an exclamation in his mouth, and took a few steps back with all his might
, almost fell into the arms of one of the girls. I took a closer look, and suddenly I felt as if someone had been hit hard in the chest, and my eyes were blown
It was dark, and he finally passed out.
It took a long time to wake up and turn around, looking at the bloodstained head that had rolled down the railing. The distorted face is too much
It's too hideous, and then add those dried blood stains, which is even more terrifying. But it was the face she knew best. It's no longer good to look at that one
No matter how gentle her face was, no longer a smiling face, she struggled to open her mouth, but only a moan of pain was in her throat
The throat rolls and cannot utter a single word; Douda's tears slipped from his eyes, and Zhong Yuyou fainted.
When he woke up again, he had already fallen on the soft couch in front of Ji Ruolan, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Ji Ruolan's eyes full of concern.
Looking at the face full of care in front of him, and remembering the face just now, he finally became inward under Ji Ruolan's gaze
All the feelings in my heart burst out. It was no longer the roar of thunder, but a thunderbolt, a thunderbolt of anger.
finally angered Ji Ruolan at this time, looked at the face that had been distorted and deformed, and stretched out her palm, wanting to kill herself
This slap fell, but in the end, it still didn't fall on the face that was once so gentle, and it waved coldly
sleeves, slammed the letter in front of her, no longer looked at him, and slowly left the room with heavy steps
Child. At that moment, that back seemed to be shaking and trembling in the faint light, as if it was about to die in that ray of light
Broken. Looking at that cold gaze, and seeing the letter that fell not far away, he couldn't stop everything on his face
Expression; Seeing Ji Ruolan's back again, I was even more frightened. After struggling for a long time, he stretched out his trembling hands and took the book
I took the letter, unfolded it, read it only once, and then crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it out vigorously...
The facts have been left in my heart, no matter how I want to throw away the facts that I don't want to admit in my heart, but I still can't get rid of it after all.
All that was thrown away was the fear in those eyes, and the pain remained in my heart...
Ji Ruolan's heart was upset, and when she saw her beloved concubine looking so haggard at this time, she remembered the one who was thrown out by herself
The terrifying face, remembering his little by little, has mixed feelings in my heart, I don't know whether to hate or grieve? I don't know how to hate myself,
Or should I hate others? In the midst of Ji Ruolan's struggle, she spent this restless night without stars in a panic
・・・
The east finally flashed a ray of light, cutting through the darkness, tearing apart, and a round of red sun broke free from the shackles of the black clouds, and jumped out violently
The rays of light came out, eating away at the darkness, driving away the darkness, so that they had to hide in the corners and survive; make them
had to hide in the corner, hating the hidden disguise of his body, looking for a glimmer of life.
That glimmer of life, but it is also an ugly manifestation of their sight and movement once again, quietly walking.
A hurried footstep finally pulled Ji Ruolan back to reality from the painful self-blame, looking at the panicked model of the soldiers in the city tower at this time
Like, even if he didn't speak, Ji Ruolan could guess a few points. But hearing his words, Ji Ruolan still showed unbearable
Resistant's panicked look. He couldn't add an extra coat, but only his underwear, and ran with the soldier to the tower.
Standing in the whirring wind, looking down, I couldn't help but show a look of horror on my face. And at this moment, the four goalkeepers have already rushed here
, they all described the situation of the four doors at this time to Ji Ruolan. Ji Ruolan listened carefully to the words of the guards of the four gates, and was in the four gates in person
After checking it up, I was even more suspicious of Wang Ximin's words about him, and I was even more shocked to know that Wang Ximin had left last night. True
I regretted leaving him here at that time, and took him to see the faces of the soldiers in the city, as well as the defense of the city.
I was really remorseful in my heart, but there happened to be one thing that was comforting in my heart: that is, there was not a single siege machine in the army of the four gates
。 This is the comfort in Ji Ruolan's heart, and it is also the fear in Ji Ruolan's heart. If this is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, he has all in his heart
The plan will be shattered, and the future will never be seen again, and he will not be able to find his way out, and he will not be able to find that ray of light...
Wang Ximin did not stay in Li Muqi's camp, and had already left in the night. Li Muqi never asked him about the defense in the city.
And any situation in the city, just waved goodbye to Wang Ximin, gave him some dry food, and handed him a letter.
All the generals were puzzled by Li Muqi's meaning, Li Muqi smiled and said, "Even if I ask, he won't say, even if I open my mouth at this time."
, I'm afraid it's all a lie. That being the case, why should I ask him, why don't I tell him to leave quickly, so as not to affect the morale of our army. "Don
After a pause, he continued, "He is grateful to me, and he will definitely tell the emperor about the affairs of the city, and I will definitely receive news from Chang'an soon." ”
Sure enough, as Li Muqi expected, about five days later, news came from Chang'an. The generals really admired Li Muqizhi
There was no doubt about his words.
Qingzhou City has been surrounded by regiments for three days at this time, and Li Muqi did not issue a general order to attack the city, nor did he see those attackers
The equipment of the city was taken out, but the battalions were only told to defend it strictly, so as not to let the careful probes in the city pass through and spread the news of the city. And in this
In the third day, dozens of fine works were caught, and urgent letters were found from their arms. Li Muqi did not return them
and did not torture them, but kept them in the army, where they feasted and entertained them every day.
The generals were puzzled and came to Li Muqi's big tent one after another, wanting to ask why Li Muqi was like this.
"General, our army has besieged Qingzhou for three days, but I don't see the general ordering the siege of the city." A look of excitement suddenly appeared on his face, and he said, "
Could it be that the general was too timid in his heart to attack the city? Suddenly, he hugged his fists and said, "If the general is timid and worried, I am willing to lead an army to attack."
If the city cannot climb the tower at sunset and kill the enemy general, I am willing to sacrifice the head of my neck to the general to repay the general's kindness
。 ”
Looking at the excited expression of the general in front of him, Li Muqi suddenly shook his head and sighed. After a long time, he said, "I know the general
I was eager to seek merit, and I knew that the general had already thought about me, but I couldn't agree to the general. "Stretch out your palm, and it's a city
patted the general in front of him on the shoulder and said slowly, "The general wants to make a meritorious career and hang his name on the history." But
Did the general ever think that the greater the general's credit, the greater the general's fame? The thicker the blood in the hands of the general, the more tired it was at the general's feet
The heavier the bones. Those who can achieve the great name of a shogun are not only the blood of their enemies, but also the blood of their own relatives and brothers
, how can these great names achieved with blood, how can the general carry them? I know what the general thinks in his heart, if a general does not slash the enemy general
, how can you become a general to protect your family and defend the country? If you don't have blood on your hands, how can you grow into a real general
Army? Have you forgotten the words of the Book of War? Have you forgotten your original dream? Have you forgotten that you are a soldier?
The purpose of man? Looking at the struggling look on the faces of the generals, Li Muqi said, "This time, I will build with the generals."
Miraculous feats, so that the generals will spread their good names to the world..."
Ji Ruolan looked at the army of the four gates. There was not a single soldier attacking the city, but the city of Qingzhou was besieged, and there was no one to be found
Breakthrough, my heart is full of anxiety. He was not anxious about the enemy army besieging the city, but about the scene in the city. Li Muqi has taken Qingzhou City
After seven days of siege, the fire in the city was almost exhausted. There was already a sense of unease and anxiety in the city, and there were at least thousands
The people have not seen cooked food, and have swallowed cold food for two days, even raw food. If it drags on for a long time, there will be chaos in the city. reach
Hundreds of people will die in the city. This is the scene that Ji Ruolan wants to see, and it is the landscape he doesn't want to see.
If the people of the city are in a panic, they will surely fight with him against the soldiers outside the city, and then they will break through the siege. Attract the crowd
When the people go to the city agreed with him, they will inevitably tell him about Qingzhou in other cities, and opportunities will surely appear.
Just as Ji Ruolan was wandering back and forth with a struggling mind, a sentry hurriedly came and told Ji Ruo the scene of the East Gate
Lan. Ji Ruolan was overjoyed, and instantly made a decision in her heart to stop struggling. With the sergeant rushed to the east gate.
Seeing the scene in front of me, my heart was even more happy, but there was also a trace of worry floating in my heart. When I was in a dilemma, I suddenly thought of a plan
, the color of joy instantly crawled on his cheeks, and the general behind him whispered in the ear of "so and so". The general was commanded,
quickly went according to Ji Ruolan's plan.
Li Muqi really saw the corner of the east gate open, and saw hundreds of people walking out of the city in a hurry, looking at the land of timber and grass in a hurry
。 Seeing them like this, the general smiled and said, "Sure enough, as the general expected, Ji Ruolan really ordered the sergeant to come out as a civilian."
Collect firewood. It's hard to see if you don't tell carefully. ”
"Ji Ruolan is worried that when the people are collecting firewood, our army will pretend to be the people, mix in it, and then make trouble at night and take the city gate
opened, so this plan was decided. If the people of our army are mixed in, they will definitely find out when they return to the city. Li Muqi smiled
"Don't forget the mountain paths, Hugh will let the details go." ”
The generals replied, "Yes."
Ji Ruolan carefully inspected the sergeants returning to the city, and did not see an unfamiliar face sandwiched between them, worried in her heart, and called the people around her
The general carefully checked it before he felt at ease. Knowing that Li Muqi had seen through his plan, he couldn't help but sigh softly. A few more days later, again
Seeing that Li Muqi retreated the soldiers of the East Gate for ten miles, Ji Ruolan asked the sergeant to pretend to be a common man to go out of the city to collect firewood, and he didn't see a stranger when he came back
Face. This has been repeated several times, and there is still not a strange face sandwiched in it, but I dare not take it lightly, and it is still very tight
Zhang cautiously, cautiously arranged, consulted. I did not see the news that came from them, and I heard from them.
Ji Ruolan's heart was really panicked, the food and grass in the city were already insufficient, and there were already hundreds of people lying on the side of the street corner, waiting
the rescue of the state capital; Moreover, the grain in the state and county treasury was almost exhausted, and there were occasional complaints in the army. Ji Ruolan knew,
If no solution can be found, there will inevitably be a riot in the city, and if the morale of the army changes, he will not be the only one affected
And that's it, and many will be tormented and even die - at the hands of those they once trusted and depended on.
"There must be no such situation," Ji Ruolan struggled for a long time, and finally made up her mind, "They have been inexplicably accepted."
Nearly three months of suffering, all of which were caused by me, I can't keep them going. As the governor of Yizhou
Not being able to bring them happiness is already a great sin, and it is even more of a sin to make them suffer so much; If in order
They died, under the nine springs, how can you imagine it? And what face to them? ”
Since Ji Ruolan had made such a decision in her heart, she also knew in her heart that Li Muqi would treat the people in the city well and would not deal with his soldiers
Bewilderment. Then he climbed the city tower and looked at the direction of Li Muqi's camp and shot an arrow.
After a while, I saw a general in silver armor leading dozens of mighty generals slowly. Ji Ruolan knew that silver
General A must be Li Muqi, so he shouted above the city tower, "Since you are an enemy general, you shouldn't salute, but this salute is not for King Yi."
, but for the people of the city, for the soldiers who have been with me for many years. I hope that King Yi will not blame them, but will treat them well. They
I was an innocent person, but I was involved in this crisis because of my own desires..."
The vast majority of wars in the world are caused by one's own desires, and countless innocent people are involved for the sake of their desires
Blood sacrifice.
"Even if the general doesn't say it, I won't kill the innocent, torture the people, and harm the general's sergeants."
Hearing Li Muqi's words, Ji Ruolan had a quiet and peaceful smile on her face, looked at Li Muqi under the city, and gave another salute...
