34. Siege
Zhu Quan was originally disheartened when he saw his right-hand man Zhu Jian die in battle, but later saw that Duoyan Sanwei was actually bought by Zhu Di, and now his wife Yuli cried and complained, telling him to turn his mind to the left and to the right. He is also a young hero, if there is no ambition, it is impossible, he was moved by Zhu Di's sentence to divide the world equally, and there are already some activities in his heart, and now the situation is forced, he can't help but agree, so he has to stomp his feet, sigh, and said, "Fourth brother, you and I have a deep brotherhood, if it is a brother next to me, I won't do anyone else!" ”
Yuli listened to Zhu Quan's words, burst into tears, and hurriedly threw herself into Zhu Quan's arms, still in shock. Although Zhu Quan was helpless, he finally broke the jar, and he had a plan in his heart, which was much better than worrying about the price all day before. So I felt a lot more relaxed.
I glanced at Zhu Di, only to see that his eyes were deep, with an elusive smile on his face, and he was squinting at the rebirth of this young couple, and the biggest catastrophe in Zhu Quan's life was buried by him. He was quickly attracted by my gaze, turned his head and smiled at me, not arrogant, but more restrained than before, I should have been happy for him, but somehow in my heart, I couldn't be happy, the expression on my face stiffened, where could I escape his eyes, I had already walked over, and asked in a low voice, "This ending, also has half of your credit." ”
I pursed my lips and smiled, "It's all up to the prince to be brave and strategic." ”
Zhu Di had already noticed that I was unhappy in my heart, and he didn't fight with me, and said to Zhu Quan and Yuli, "Brother, brother and sister, the fourth brother's behavior today is really helpless, and I have to do it as a last resort, don't take it to heart in Wangxian and his wife." I can't compensate you here, brother! Saying that, the two of them bowed deeply, Zhu Quan still had some anger on his face, and Yuli stepped forward and hurriedly helped Zhu Di up, "Don't dare to be!" Fourth brother, don't say that! Where can we stand it! ”
Zhu Quan was also a little embarrassed when he saw his wife taking responsibility for himself like this, so he also said, "From now on, I will follow the fourth brother, experience glory and disgrace together, and live and die together!" ”
Zhu Di patted Zhu Quan on the shoulder, "Good brother! As a brother, I must remember your friendship and never lose up! ”
At that moment, the group discussed outside the city gate, although Zhu Quan resisted, but he was also the person who made a decisive decision, and decided to embark on the road of Jingjing, so he no longer delayed, ordered Yuli to return to the house, arrange the affairs of the house, and take all the concubines and children to Beiping on the road. Zhu Di was very satisfied with Zhu Di's decision. Even I and Sanbao watched from the sidelines, and I had to look at this King Ning with admiration, in addition to being a few years younger than Zhu Di and lacking experience, his courage and strategy were simply not under Zhu Di, Zhu Di had him as his right-hand man, it was like a tiger with wings, no wonder Zhu Di was such an unruly person, in order to take him down so much for many days.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Zhu Di asked me and Sanbao to rush back to Beiping with a few hussars to help Zhu Gaochi defend the city, and he continued to win over Zhu Quan, and supervised Zhu Quan to lead Duoyan Sanwei and his own Shenji battalion together with the army to withdraw to Beiping, and to withdraw as the center, and Yuli led the family of Ning Wangfu to cushion the back, such a military mansion, the ladies are very capable, and Yuli is not among them, so Zhu Quan is also at ease.
Because Sanbao said that after Zhu Di and I left, the 500,000 army attacked the city, the spectacular and tragic scene, so now we are all palpitating, and we don't dare to stay at all, for fear that Beiping will be lost before we go back, so we are rushing back day and night. When we rushed back, it was still peaceful, and we entered the city, but we also felt that after leaving for more than two months, Beiping was no longer as lively and prosperous as before, and there was a sense of depression.
Sanbao told me that this is because Beiping is now closed to all nine gates, in fact, it is eating its old book, completely isolated from the outside world, and has become an empty city. I listened, my heart is also very uncomfortable, back to the Yan Palace, Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochu brothers came out to greet us, this is the time of the same enemy, no one wants to remember the past festival, is that everyone is quite harmonious, I and Sanbao to their brother arched to their brother, "The prince said, he is not here for this time, thanks to the world's stubborn guard!" ”
Zhu Gaochi smiled slightly, "What do you do when you say this kind of thing, Beiping is the home of all of us, and we are all guarding our homeland, so there is no need to say so." ”
Zhu Gaoxu asked, "My father borrowed troops for two months, what was the result?" ”
I replied, "The prince and the seventeenth lord will lead an army of 100,000 to rush back, and the big guy will suffer a few more days, and when the prince returns, he will be able to breathe a sigh of relief." ”
Zhu Gaochi Zhu Gaochu said that, after all, he was still heartfelt, and after hearing my words, he was finally relieved, and his face was much more relaxed, so he said, "Mother said, after Aunt Helian and Sanbao come back, please go to the back to eat and wash the dust." ”
I was stunned for a moment, Zhu Gaochi is not a few years younger than me in terms of age, calling me an aunt at this time, it must be Xu Yunhua's meaning, although I have an alliance with Zhu Di, after all, she has no reputation, she can be so generous, it can be seen that her attitude has changed a lot now, thinking about it like this, I am also very moved in my heart, and patted Zhu Gaochi's arm twice, "The princess is still so polite, we are all our own people now, there is no need to talk about such a false courtesy." ”
Zhu Gao smiled innocently, "It's winter, the weather is bitter and cold, Aunt Helian must be very busy accompanying his father, it should be, come in quickly." As he spoke, he stretched out a hand and let me and Sanbao in.
Xu Yunhua also picked it up from the back hall, although her face was haggard, she was in good spirits when she saw us, thinking about coming these days, she was also heartbroken for guarding the city, so I saluted her and said, "The princess has worked hard!" ”
Xu Yunhua didn't expect me to say such a sentence, and smiled, "It's you who work hard, come in and get hot water to wash your hands, there is a hot meal in it, use some first and then go back to rest." ”
I said thank you to Sanbao first, and then went in to wash my hands and face, this reception banquet, there is simply an indescribable magic, everyone doesn't talk much, but it seems that the original mustard has been thrown away, everyone's purpose now is very simple, that is, to keep Beiping.
Xu Yunhua even ordered someone to clean up the yard that had been prepared for me before, and let me go there to live. I was grateful, and when I returned to my room, I found a few jackets at the bedside, a bright red star, a mink trench coat with excellent wind, and a pair of dark deerskin boots. It's already November, and the weather in Beiping is especially cold, so Xu Yunhua used these outfits to show me goodwill.
I smiled and packed my clothes, ordered the girl to take a hot shower with a large bucket of hot water, poured it on the bed, closed her eyes and became dark and sweet. I wanted to have a good night's rest, in order to comfort the pain of running all the way, but in the middle of the night, I heard a quick knock on the door, got up and opened the door to see, but it was Bao'er, I smiled, "You girl, why did you come at this time?" ”
Bao'er hurriedly said, "Miss, it's not good! Brother Sanbao asked me to call you, the southern army is attacking the city again! ”
I was rubbing my eyes sleepily, and when I heard this, I immediately woke up, "What! ”
"Zhangyemen is the weakest, but Zhai Neng saw it, and he came over with his men!" Boa said.
I immediately went back to the house, put on my thick clothes, and followed Bao'er to Zhangyemen. It turned out that when we were not there, headed by the general Zhang Yu, Yuelongcheng and others, on the order of the young lord Zhu Gaochi, sent heavy troops to guard the Jiulong Gate one by one, and strictly followed Zhu Di's order before leaving, not trying to attack, but only to guard the city gate before Zhu Di rushed back. Unfortunately, the manpower is limited, and the generals' abilities are also weak, so Zhangyemen has become a weak door. Although Li Jinglong is a piece of stuffy material on paper, he has many capable generals under him, and Zhai Neng is one. After the last siege of the city, he circled outside the city of Beiping for many days, and saw the shortcomings of Zhangyemen. This person was hand-picked by Zhu Yunwen, and he had some military exploits, so he was very disdainful of Li Jinglong, who had done nothing, and even when Zhu Yunwen appointed Li Jinglong, he complained to Zhu Yunwen, saying that Li Jinglong was friendly with Zhu Di and it was inappropriate to let Li Jinglong lead the troops. Therefore, he and Li Jinglong are very at odds. Once this flaw is discovered, he dares not to report to the coach, so he wants to attack the city privately, and secretly thinks that if he robs this battle, he will have a chance to improve.
As soon as I arrived at the city wall, I saw that Sanbao had rushed over, he was looking down with clairvoyance, frowning, I patted him, he dropped clairvoyance, turned back to talk to me, "This is not good!" ”
I picked up the clairvoyance and looked down, only to see Zhai Neng leading thousands of fierce generals, holding torches and cannons, simply fighting more and more bravely, and it is inevitable to win against Zhangyemen!
I was also anxious all of a sudden, "Can I borrow troops from other city gates?"
Sanbao shook his head, "The two closest gates to us are not abundant, once the troops are withdrawn, there must be other attacks, if you want to move the rescue troops, you can only divert a little from each of the city gates, but this will greatly delay the time, and it is better than nothing." ”
"Shall we sit idly by, then?" Before I finished my words, I saw Zhu Gaochi also limping up, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "Da Shizi is not in good health, and now he is the commander of the whole army, how can he come here in person, in case ......"
Zhu Gaochi waved his hand and said, "Aunt Helian don't say it, when my father leaves, I will hand over Beiping to me, and I will make an oath to live and die with Beiping. ”
As soon as he said this, I had nothing to say back. At this time, the battle became more and more intense, and the light of the artillery simply illuminated the entire Zhangye Gate, and the soldiers on our city gate could not stand, and those southern troops were for this purpose. There are so many talented people, but they are helpless for a while because their troops are inferior to others!
Seeing that the men were about to climb up. I suddenly had an idea and said, "Don't worry! Pregnant! ”
