Chapter 35 - Branches Forward
"Since you can't be sure what the situation is, you should prepare with both hands. First, let the people in the capital vigorously investigate to confirm whether the incident had occurred; second, they stepped up the recruitment of troops and horses, and there was no need to deliberately hide it. ”
"It's naturally safest to deal with it with both hands, but there is still half a gap between the troops when the plan is to start an incident! If the imperial court is determined to fight outside and at the same time at the same time, although this king is confident to resist the Guangwu army, it will be more than several times more difficult to get out of Changshan Prefecture in the future!"
Footsteps sounded, and Li Xu, who had not yet taken off his groom's clothes, walked into the study.
You Bo got up first, and Xiao Meng followed.
"The eldest prince. ”
"Yes, Father. ”
"You are so happy today, why are you here?"
"In the middle hall, I saw my father's face strange, and I guessed that something big had happened. Is there a change in plans?"
Li Kuiqi nodded and sat back in his seat.
"Five Strengths......
Li Xu was not as entangled as Li Kuiqi and others, but looked natural.
"I see, it's very simple. Father, hold your troops and give me three days!"
"Oh?
......
When the moon set and the sun rose, although there was nothing to do all night, the hearts of Chen Tianfeng, Liu Jieming and the other three gradually made some waves.
Lean against the city wall and take a quiet rest. But it didn't take long for panic shouts to spread across the city walls.
"Big... My lord, the Blood Tiger Iron Rider is here!"
Chen Tianfeng and the others hurriedly climbed to the top of the wall and looked, the red lines were running towards the city wall, and the faces of the three of them changed greatly.
"Prepare for battle!"
But the 20,000 Blood Tiger Iron who rushed forward with an indomitable momentum rode out of the range of the bow and crossbow, made a bend and ran back.
The soldiers on the city wall, in their hearts, are really called seven up and eight down.
Xiao Liangqing, who was in a good mood, entered the barracks and was about to go back to the camp tent to drink a few glasses, but saw Shen Zhifu in front of his camp tent.
Just as he was about to speak, Shen Zhifu turned around with a thick anger on his face.
"Didn't the general say that it is forbidden to go into battle without authorization?
The smile on Xiao Liangqing's face froze, and he had to reply.
"General, the last general didn't go to war, just to scare them. ”
"The army has decided to attack tomorrow night, you tell Ben to scare them, what do you have in your head?"
Xiao Liangqing has been like an energetic man recently, and Binzhou City is like a big beauty who has almost no cover.
Binzhou City is in front of him, but he can only watch from a distance and cannot attack it, he has already accumulated a fire in his belly.
And although he is now a deputy general, he and Shen Zhifu are both of the fourth rank in rank.
What's more, they are not affiliated with each other!
Because the Blood Tiger Iron Rider is more special, his identity is even faintly higher than Shen Zhifu in ordinary times.
So he finally broke out.
"Shen Zhifu! General Ben kindly called you a general for a few days, and you won't know what your last name is!"
Shen Zhifu couldn't imagine that this rough man would dare to ignore military discipline so much, and his face was flushed with anger.
"You... The general ordered the general to be the main general, and you to be the deputy general, if you do not obey the general's orders, the general will behead you!"
"Hahaha, kill me? This deputy general is not right, you try to kill me?!"
Ten guards at the door of the tent slowly gathered around Shen Zhifu.
Shen Zhifu's nostrils were like a cow breathing, and he raised his trembling hand and pointed at Xiao Liangqing's nose.
"After pacifying Binzhou City, about everything that happened here, General Ben will truthfully report to the general. ”
"Hehe, like a! whatever you want, General Ben won't play with you anymore!"
"You can move freely, but if you mess up General Ben's plans. This general will definitely beg the general in blood to behead you for public display!"
Xiao Liangqing shook his hand and turned around, leaving only a dissatisfied snort.
......
For everyone in Binzhou City, today is extremely difficult.
Outside the city, the news that the Cangfeng thief Kou Chen soldiers might attack the city at any time has spread.
The city was surrounded by two diametrically opposed atmospheres, oppression and restlessness, and many houses were filled with the helpless cries of the cowardly.
There are also many people who stop saving food and enjoy the carnival.
If it weren't for the Binzhou defenders who discovered this momentum early and killed thousands of troublemakers, maybe there would have been a big problem in the city.
Yang Yue'er squatted in the corner of the room, buried her head between her knees, her two little hands tightly clasped her knees, tears dripping on the floor.
"Woo woo - Grandpa Fulai, there are windy thieves outside the city, and I can't get out. And the city may be breached, and I may never find my brother again. ”
After a breath, she suddenly lifted her head. Two small hands wiped away the tears indiscriminately, and there was a new light flashing inside.
"No, the general's brother will definitely be able to protect Binzhou City! I will definitely be able to find my brother!"
"It's chaotic outside, so I'll stay in the house and wait for the general's brother to beat the Wind Thief away! ”
......
A black curtain covers the earth, and Binzhou City seems to have become a dead city again.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Gu Xuzhang no longer had the leisure to lie on the rattan chair and tease Xia Bing'er, and kept circling around Xia Bing'er.
"Uncle, don't turn around, my eyes are about to be turned by you!"
Gu Xuzhang turned to face Xia Bing'er, his face serious and serious.
"Girl, tell me the truth, how many cangfeng thieves have come from outside the city?"
"Didn't I say it earlier? 100,000 infantry and 20,000 Blood Tiger Iron Cavalry. ”
"Really, but why aren't you in a hurry?"
"With the current strength in the city, do you think you can hold it, uncle?"
Gu Xuzhang's head shook like a rattle.
"No way! Do you have any good plan?"
"No! I mean, since it's impossible to hold on, what's the point of struggling?"
Gu Xuzhang: "......"
"If I remember correctly, when you were a child, when I went to visit you Xia Lao, Xia Lao once admonished you to be prepared for danger in times of peace, not to be chaotic, and not to give up hope in a desperate situation! Have you forgotten?"
Xia Bing'er's face was slightly red, so she had to tell the truth.
"With Fengqing here, Binzhou City will be fine!"
"That kid hasn't seen anyone since he left yesterday, and you still expect him?"
"Uncle!
Gu Xuzhang looked at Xia Bing'er's serious eyes, and finally let out a long sigh.
"Ahh
......
Yang Fengqing, who was missed by everyone, was trekking between the mountains and mountains with 10,000 subordinates.
Looking at the military uniforms cut by trees and grass, they look like homeless people with weapons in hand.
Fortunately, although everyone's expressions were a little tired, the sharp momentum was still there.
Finally, they climbed the towering mountain that completely obscured their view into the distance, and as far as the eye could see, the col in front was illuminated by orange-red light.
Luo Daguang, who had been pursing his lips, grinned.
"Hahaha-I finally found it! My lord, the camp of the Wind Thieves is in that valley!"
has not walked out of the mountains, Yang Fengqing's face has long been tense, and he finally loosened up a little when he heard the words.
"With a little more force, you can rest for a while when you get down this mountain!"
"But from here on, you may encounter the scouts of the Wind Thieves at any time. All the soldiers clasped a branch of the tree, and no one else should touch the trees on either side except the soldiers who opened the way. ”
"Yes!"
