Chapter 30: Rushing to the aid of Yongle City

After this incident, Deng Baichuan became more and more like a great enemy, and he strictly guarded Murong Fu to prevent the opportunity to "let him try". And Murong Fu himself seemed to accept his fate, and never mentioned any requests such as "hands-on".

In late August of the fifth year of Yuanfeng, the first batch of three enlarged hot air balloons personally supervised by Murong Fu was finally completed. This time, the three hot air balloons had a payload of 200 kilograms and flew at an altitude of about 500 meters. Of course, the above is only a theoretical number, what the actual effect is, Murong Fu still needs to test the ride to know, and Murong Fu is naturally accompanied by Qiao Feng, who is also strong in martial arts.

On the evening of the second day after the completion of the hot air balloon making, Murong Fu and Qiao Feng boarded the hot air balloon and floated up, and there were 100 catties of sandbags in the sky with them. On that day, the sky was beautiful, the wind was stable, and the hot air balloon floated to the highest altitude when the sun was setting, only to see that the red sun was as big as a basin, obviously far away in the sky but as if it was close in front of you, slowly sinking into the end of the sky, clear silence but magnificent. And around this round of red sun, the clouds turn from pure white to light yellow and from light yellow to golden red under the background of the setting sun. Although Qiao Feng said that he was the best martial artist, it was the first time in his life to climb to such a height, and when he saw such a majestic scene, he couldn't help but let out a long roar to express the joy in his heart.

After all, the wind at a height of five hundred meters was extremely strong, and it was extremely difficult for ordinary people to speak even in this strong wind, but it was not long before Qiao Feng quieted down again. After all, he was young and old, and he felt embarrassed when he was a little out of shape, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Murong Fu on the other side. I saw Murong Fu leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, staring blankly at the red sun and silent. Qiao Feng had always known that Murong Fu was handsome, but at this time, seeing his ethereal expression and fluttering clothes, he couldn't say anything beautiful, and there was only one thought in his heart: meticulously crafted, not ordinary. However, for some reason, he only felt a palpitation, and hurriedly shouted: "Murong ......" How did he know that the words had been blown away by the wind before he could say anything.

Murong Fu didn't need Qiao Feng to call him, only a moment later, he himself came back to his senses in a daze. After all, Qiao Feng was an ancient, and the height of 500 meters was already novel, but Murong Fu had already seen the scenery at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and what only touched his mind was some past events that had long since passed. The afterlife cannot be traced, Murong Fu retracted his thoughts, made a few simple gestures to Qiao Feng, and bent down to weaken the fire of the coal furnace. After a while, the flight altitude of the hot air balloon dropped to about 200 meters, and the two were finally able to talk normally.

Qiao Feng knew that Murong Fu was only fighting for Yongle City like this, but now that he saw the ability of this hot air balloon, he was immediately convinced. "With this hot air balloon and fire oil, our army can attack with condescending fire."

Murong Fu had long been accustomed to Qiao Feng's foresight in the use of soldiers, and it was not surprising that he would see through his intention to make the hot air balloon, so he only sighed in a low voice: "I hope it won't really lose my life." ”

Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was also widely praised in the Yan Army, and Qiao Feng naturally heard the story of Zhuge Liang's burning of rattan armor soldiers. Hearing Murong Fu's words, Qiao Feng's eyebrows twisted and then relaxed again, and said loudly: "These Xia people occupy my land and slaughter my people, if the sky has eyes, if you want to fold your life, you should fold them first!" ”

Murong Fu is not an indecisive person, after listening to Qiao Feng's righteous words, he also raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said: "Brother Qiao can be said to be a natural general in military affairs, but it is a pity to hide in recklessness. ”

When Qiao Feng heard this, he only shook his head and sighed: "Jing Liu's ability is a hundred times better, but this officialdom is ...... No matter how ruthless the enemy on the battlefield is, it is not as sinister as the knife behind it. I don't know poetry and books are rude by nature, but it's more comfortable to roll around the rivers and lakes. ”

Speaking of the seed of the seed, Murong Fu was provoked with new worries, and frowned: "The seed of the scriptures has always been arbitrary, and this time Xu Xi greatly lost his face, I am afraid that he will sit back and watch and refuse to send troops to rescue." ”

Qiao Feng was speechless, and after a while, he squeezed out a sentence: "It's not like this......" Obviously, even he didn't have much confidence in saying this, so he changed his words again. "Perhaps, the battle of Yongle City was not as dangerous as we expected."

Murong Fu shook his head and said calmly: "Plan for the worst and do your best, but don't have illusions." ”

Qiao Feng was ashamed for a while, Murong Fu didn't have much contact with Chong Ge in the rear army, but Qiao Feng was not. Qiao Feng has a bit of talent for using soldiers, and he has also learned a lot of skills by the side of the planter. He has always admired the heroes and heroes with skills, and admired the kind of man, because he was unwilling to say more about the weaknesses of his character. With Murong Fu's words, Qiao Feng's heart was awe-inspiring, and he immediately saluted Murong Fu with a fist, and said, "Thank you Murong Gongzi for mentioning it, Qiao has been taught!" ”

Murong Fu knew that Qiao Feng was above board, and he didn't shirk his salute, but only forced his eyes to look at Qiao Feng and said word by word: "If Chong Jinglu really refuses to send troops to rescue, what is Brother Qiao's plan?" ”

Qiao Feng was not ambiguous, and said forcefully: "One yard is one yard, I don't care about Xu Xi for the time being." However, the lives of my Great Song soldiers are precious, and I can't help but save them! If he is dissatisfied, Qiao will ask him for guilt afterwards. ”

Murong Fu smiled lightly, put his arm on Qiao Feng's shoulder and said, "The heroes see the same thing, the ancients don't deceive me." ”

Qiao Feng is such a awake person, he naturally knows that Murong Fu has this question, and if he has a conflict with Chong Mo in the future, he will definitely be a little offended to him. Qiao Feng is a martial artist in the rivers and lakes and doesn't care about that official position, but he knows that Murong Fu really loves Xi Wen more. "Brother Murong Xian, with your talent, you really don't want to be an official?"

This sentence, Murong Fu doesn't know how many times he has been asked during this time. Seeing that Qiao Feng was as bold as his mother-in-law, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and asked rhetorically: "Brother Qiao, isn't he a person who can't believe in the scriptures?" After a pause, he said proudly. Even if he is really the villain who will repay him, am I afraid that he will not succeed? ”

Murong Fu said it so thoroughly, Qiao Feng's heart was also relieved, because he smiled and said: "If a talent like Brother Murong Xian is hidden in the mountains, it will be a loss for the imperial court. ”

Murong Fu smiled playfully and said loudly: "Non-yes, non-yes!" Under the young man's wealth and temperament, he likes fine house food, fresh clothes and horses, Chinese lanterns and fireworks, sheng flute playing and singing, and wants me to hide in the mountains and fields for coarse tea and light rice, which is absolutely unwilling. ”

"Hmm." Qiao Feng nodded, and said with a straight face. "Such a gentleman, I just came to the border to eat sand, and I don't know why I came?"

As soon as these words came out, Murong Fu was immediately speechless, but Qiao Feng couldn't hold back his laughter.

On the sixth day of September in the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Yongle City was built. Within ten days, the Liang clan of Western Xia sent the commander Ye Weima, Ba False Burial and other troops to lead the six superintendent army with 300,000 soldiers to surround Yongle City and cut off the water source flowing through the city. The soldiers approached the city, and Xu Xi, who claimed to be a Confucian general and knew the soldiers, was frightened by the onslaught of the Xia army, so he couldn't defend the city. Qu Zhen, the deputy head of Yan Road, and Gao Yongneng, the deputy head of Yan Road, successively sent troops to break through, but he shook his head and refused. There was no water in the city, so the soldiers had to dig wells to get water. However, due to the geographical limitations, only three living springs, the spring water is only enough for the generals and schools in the city to drink, more than half of the soldiers died of thirst, and even used the dung juice of the horses to quench their thirst, and the shape of Yongle City has been tragic to the extreme.

When the news of the siege of Yongle City came out, Shen Kuo and Li Xian successively reorganized their troops and sent troops to rescue them, but the seeds who were driven to Yanzhou by Xu Xi were indifferent. The Tai centaurs in the battle of the summer were all in Yongle City, and the generals such as the seed master Dao knew that the situation was urgent, and the ministers outside the military tent in the cultivation could not kneel down to ask for troops, but the cultivation still did not want to pay attention.

After a while, Qiao Feng and Murong Fu also came over. Seeing the two of them, Master Dao hurriedly said, "Brother Qiao, Brother Murong Xian, come with me to persuade the scriptures!" ”

Qiao Feng's expression was unpredictable and he was silent for a long time, but Murong Fu only sneered. "The war is urgent, how can he be angry? After living a lot of age, he is so immature! With that, he lifted the curtain and strode in.

Qiao Feng also followed, and the Seed Master Dao was startled when he saw Murong Fu's murderous aura, and hurriedly raised one leg. Before he got up, the captain who was originally kneeling beside him suddenly grabbed him and whispered, "Dianzhi, I'll wait here." ”

The seed master Dao was a smart man who spoke at the beginning and the end of his words, and with a change of expression, he immediately understood the intention of the captain. Qiao Feng and Murong Fu are not serious soldiers, even if they offend the cultivator, it is nothing, but the soldiers who are kneeling here now will have to get along with the cultivator day and night in the future. If you offend the seed too much, it is embarrassing. Especially himself, since his own nephew can't turn his elbow out, he can only turn a blind eye.

In the military tent, Chong Mo saw that Murong Fu and Qiao Feng were not called in, and his face was even more unkind, so he only shouted: "Who allowed you to come in?" Get out! ”

Qiao Feng's expression was complicated, and he was silent for a while before he said in a deep voice: "Please send troops to rescue Yongle." ”

"Ridiculous!" He snorted, "Then what Xu Xi said in the northwest can be taken at his fingertips, and he hates the handsome and cowardly; and on the official family's silver, Xia, and You three states fell for a hundred years, and one day of recovery, Yu Bian's work was really handsome. 'In the whole world, he is the only one who is brave and loyal, how can I not fulfill him? Since he has spoken wildly, he must do what he says, why should I come to his rescue? ”

"Xu Xizhi is a talented person who ignores military affairs, please focus on national affairs, and don't worry about such villains who play right and wrong and chase fame and fortune." Qiao Feng immediately knelt on one knee, he was not a pedantic person, and then added. "If Jing Luo really hates that villain, after Xia Jun retreats, his subordinates will personally take him down, and three knives and six holes will be angry for Jing Liu!"

Qiao Feng has always been upright, and he never expected that he would say such a sentence at this moment. I saw him stunned for a while, and then he said gloomily: "He is a villain, but now this state affairs have long been destroyed by villains, what can I say?" Speaking of this, his expression was annoyed again, and he gritted his teeth. The old man has been in the northwest for half his life, and the blood and tears of the past have been ruined by the hands of villains, and the northwest border has been in a slump since then! The old man hates the skin of the flesh that he can't eat, how can he save him? How can you save him! ”

Qiao Feng was speechless for a while.

But at this moment, Murong Fu suddenly chuckled, and said mockingly: "I said that this is in vain, Brother Qiao, you are too naΓ―ve!" "It turned out that Qiao Feng had agreed with Murong Fu that if Qiao Feng couldn't persuade him, Murong Fu would have to do whatever he wanted.

Qiao Feng couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he heard this, took a step back and made a "please" gesture to Murong Fu.

He only thought that Murong Fu was also here to persuade him, so he just sat behind the military case and looked at him coldly, looking at him as if to say: Let your mouth be a lotus, I will not move, see what you can do to me?

Unexpectedly, Murong Fu suddenly took two steps and shot at several important points on Chong Ge's body.

"Murong Fu, you are presumptuous!" Stunned, he shouted, "What do you want to do?" ”

Murong Fu didn't have time to pay attention to him at all, so he pushed him away with a stool, took out a blank piece of paper from the military case and wrote: "After a little experience, you can know how long a person will die from lack of water?" I sue you, three days, only three days! Now Yongle City has been trapped for five days, even if the troops are sent now, whether they can repel the Xia army depends on the right time and place. In vain, the Yanjun army has followed you from birth to death for so many years, you fought with Xu Xi for power, but let them be cannon fodder, you are also worthy of being this general? Xu Xi talks on paper, you are disloyal and unjust, what is the difference between you and him? With that, he threw down his brush and picked up the seal on the side, and pressed it heavily on the white paper.

Qiao Feng watched Murong Fu holding the forged military order, and walked out by himself with a drop of sleeves, and he was speechless for a while. He had expected that Murong Fu would definitely take the sword and order the army to send troops, but he never imagined that Murong Fu's method would be so simple and rude.

Qiao Feng was stunned for a while, and just turned his head to leave, he suddenly stopped him. "Qiao Feng, don't unravel the old man's acupoint yet!"

Qiao Feng smiled bitterly again, hugged his fists and said: "Cultivate the strategy, after the troops are dispatched, the subordinates will ...... again."

"Fart!" Before Qiao Feng finished speaking, Chong Ge was already angry, and his eyes were wide open. "Did you know that forging military orders is a capital offense! Just with Murong Fu's kid, he knows how to use a fart? ”

Qiao Feng listened to the words of the kind of man, his eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Have you changed your mind?" ”

Chong Ge sighed gloomily, and only said: "Let me ask you, can that hot air balloon really surprise soldiers?" ”

Qiao Feng nodded heavily and said loudly: "My subordinates are willing to guarantee with their lives!" ”

Outside the camp tent, Seed Master Dao had obediently received the military order and was about to leave, but several captains around him grabbed Murong Fu and insisted on it, only saying that this military order was not written by the seed master himself, and he did not dare to follow the order.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and Qiao Feng walked out with Chong Ge. I saw that the slasher snatched the military order from Murong Fu's hand, glanced down at it, and sneered: "Scholar's opinion, bullshit doesn't make sense!" "Tear the military order to the ground. Murong Fu changed color, but said again: "Qiao Feng, Murong Fu, since the merits of this hot air balloon have blown into the sky, let the two of you lead a team of 100 people to break into Hengshan, and burn down the camp of the Xia army with fire after nightfall!" In this battle, no defeat is allowed to be won! If it fails, you will come and see you! ”

Qiao Feng hurriedly bowed and said loudly: "Subordinates receive orders!" ”

The situation took a turn for the worse, and Murong Fu couldn't help but look at Chong Fu with a dull expression.

He couldn't wait for Murong Fu's reply, so he immediately swept over with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Murong Fu, do you dare to disobey?" ”

Murong Fu was chilled by the star, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "My subordinates receive orders!" ”

"Planter Dao, I order you to lead all military cadets to march in a bundle, set out before sunset, and gallop to help Yongle!" Planting and saying.

"Subordinates take orders!" The planter shouted loudly and hurriedly walked out with a group of captains.

Seeing that Murong Fu was still looking at him dumbfounded, he couldn't help but say proudly and disdainfully: "If it weren't for the fact that your hot air balloon is beneficial to the country, would you really have the time to send soldiers to play with you?" The dog can't hide two taels of sesame oil in his belly, and he dares to show off in front of the old man! "Sweeping Qiao Feng again, word by word." Qiao Feng, Murong Fu, my Yan army only has these five thousand seeds left, if this battle is lost, the old man will personally cut out your heart and lungs to sacrifice the heroic souls of my Yan army! Get lost! ”

As soon as the northwest veteran was powerful, North Qiao Feng and South Murong immediately farted and retreated.

On September 13 of the fifth year of Yuanfeng, the 5,000 Yanyan army in Yanzhou was planted to aid Yongle.
