Chapter 32: The Battle of Xinling

The four gates of Xinling are closed. The Wu soldiers www.biquge.info attacked the city for three days in a row.

The number of pedestrians on the street has plummeted, but it is not as deserted as imagined, you still have to eat, you still have to sleep, and the east and west cities are still busy. Wu soldiers besieged the city, and food was in short supply in the city. The traders took the opportunity to raise the price, and the people did not ask the price to be high, but only robbed. In this kind of busy and chaotic time, an upon-horse carriage passed through the chaotic market.

It's overcast.

Zhao Pingwei lifted the hanging burlap, looked out, frowned, and said, "This is no longer over!" ”

Ah Er, who was driving the car, replied, "Lord Liu and Lord Zhang have already reported to the emperor, but the emperor said that Master Wei is not here and cannot be the master." ”

Zhao Pingwei's face was gloomy, and he suddenly got out of the car and snatched Ah Er's whip, "What kind of words is this!" You go to the Hou Mansion to watch, I'll go into the palace! ”

With that, the carriage reversed direction, leaving Ah Er standing in a daze. "What's wrong, my lord?"

There are two big stone lions in front of the Suhou Mansion, when the Suhou Lord returned to the court in the Taishang Lake class, the Empress Dowager Wenzhao ordered two white jade walls to be placed behind the stone lions. After Su Sheng surrendered his military power, one of his subordinates was about to be beheaded for violating military orders, and before the execution, he asked to stand in front of the Zhaobi. Since then, a rule has been formed, but all generals who violate military orders must stand in front of these two sides of the wall for two hours.

At this time, the front of Suhou's Mansion was full of people, and kneeling in front of the wall was the Xinling Shou General Ji Quanming. He was originally a deputy general, but after Mo Quan's death, he was promoted by the emperor. Yesterday, he was inexplicably robbed of military power, and he was unwilling, and he wanted to enter the palace to face the saint but was stopped, so he simply knelt here!

There was a sigh in the crowd.

"General Ji didn't commit any crime, did he?"

"Could it be that it is collusion with Wu Guoyou?"

"You can't talk nonsense! General Ji has only been up for a few days, and he hasn't stood firm on his heels, who is he colluding with! ”

"It's a big taboo to change generals in battle!"

"Alas! General Ji has been replaced, who is willing to go up at this time? ”

"I heard that Wu has 200,000 soldiers, and they came to attack the city in shifts, and they have not been idle for a few days! How long can you say that Xinling can last! ”

"Alas! The people of Wu haven't driven away yet, and they have pulled the general guarding the city by themselves, and they don't know what to do! ”

There are also two people, an old man and a young man, in the teahouse on the opposite side of the road, the old one is about fifty or sixty, and the two hands with only three fingers each are holding the tea bowl. The youngest one was about ten years old, lying on the table and counting the tea leaves.

I don't know how many pots of tea I have drunk.

The little one was anxious first, "The face that drinks tea every day is yellow!" Maybe this Su Ling won't go out at all. You said that his father just died, why didn't he go out to keep a good watch? ”

"Why do you care so much? Boss Hu asked us to watch here, just watch here. When you see someone, you go to report it, don't just sit here idlely, eat and drink a lot of Lazar, don't you just do it! "The old one put the tea bowl away.

At this time, the sun had already set, the sky was not yet dark, and the people in front of the Hou Mansion gradually dispersed. Then the side door opened, and a little guy led a black horse to the gate.

"Whoa! You see it's coming out soon. ”

The little one turned his head and looked again. The door flickered open, Su Ling came out dressed in heavy filial piety, turned over and got on the horse, and the people in front of the gate of Nafu didn't care.

The little one scolded the old one and whispered, "Alas, alas! Su Ling is out, out of it! ”

"Don't hurry up and report it!"

The little one jumped up with joy, went downstairs in three or two steps, and went to the south of the city in a puff of smoke. I don't know how many roads I have bypassed and finally arrived at a small slab building, and there is a wooden sign erected on the side of the building, which reads 'Little Gambling House'.

It's hard to find! Who would have thought that there was a gambling house hidden in such a place?

The slab building was not deserted outside, and the crowd of people crowded into the dim first floor was noisy. The child squeezed up the table and asked, "Where's the boss?" ”

The loud voice was not heard by the man, and the child asked again, and the man pointed to the innermost table.

The person sitting on the innermost table was shaking the dice, and at this time the child squeezed over, "Boss, Su Ling is out!" ”

The person sitting in the village put down the dice Gu, and everyone at the table quieted down and looked at the child. Hu Mao'er pushed the silver forward and said, "Big! "Look at what?" Open! ”

The person sitting in the village hurriedly opened the dice Gu and sang, "Nine o'clock." Small! ”

"Alas! Unlucky! The man sighed, "Have fun!" As he spoke, he turned around and went out of the game, and went outside the slab building.

A red-faced man saw Hu Mao'er, ran over in three or two steps and whispered, "Just now there was a woman who was about to enter and was about to stop and interrogate, but in a blink of an eye, the person disappeared." ”

Hu Mao'er was startled, glanced at the child, and knew it in his heart. The man must have come with him. With a light clapp, a dozen people wearing tiger masks jumped down from both sides.

"Let's go!" As he spoke, he gave everyone a look. The ten men understood, and quickly coiled up the pillar. Coming down in a moment. "Ran away."

"If you kill Shen Xun, you can still escape, it's really not easy." Hu Mao'er said, "It's her, right?" ”

The tiger-faced man nodded.

Hu Mao'er sneered, "I wanted to lure her out, but I didn't expect her to come with her." Can you be sure that it is the remnants of the Qu family? ”

"Judging from the previous tricks, it should be."

"Since it is, then you can't run away from her." Hu Mao'er smiled, turned around and threw a bag of silver to the child, "Be careful next time, don't let people follow you." ”

The child understands that things have been messed up and does not dare to take it.

"Take it!" Hu Mao'er rubbed the child's head, "Do it yourself." ”

The child blushed, clutched the money bag, and stumbled, "Yes." ”

Yanzi chased two streets away, and seeing that no one was chasing, he simply sat on the ridge of the roof, thinking about the masked man's figure just now, and said with a wry smile, "Sure enough, it's someone from Wu Guo." It's really hard to get out if you get stopped. ”

The city wall of Xinling

The golden drum sounded three times, and the killing shouts began when the night was thick. After a while, it was quiet again.

No one came back from the city.

The upstairs of Xinling West City is very quiet.

A quarter of an hour has passed, and the little marquis is afraid that he will not be able to come back. The deputy general looked at Yunzhu with a cold face, was ruthless, and shouted, "Close the four gates, and transfer two more battalions of people up." ”

Give this order in front of the eldest princess! Wei Chengwu was startled, turned his head suddenly, and only saw Yunzhu shivering. Alas! "Eldest princess, it's late at night. Let's go home. ”

"Nope." Yunzhu looked out of the city. "Wait."

Not even a little starlight, what can she see?

Su Ling received a military order yesterday and commanded the forbidden army on behalf of Ji Quanming, and today he led the troops to attack the camp. It's just that he went, but he didn't come back.

The flag fluttered, and the soldiers stood straight.

Suddenly, the northwest flames soared into the sky, and the sound of fighting began. That's the garrison of Wu Bingzhong's army!

Everyone in the castle tower was surprised and delighted, and they all looked at the firelight. I don't know how long it took, but the sound of fighting got farther and farther away. A ray of light appeared in the east, the sky was slightly confused, and a group of cavalry came from afar.

Wei Chengwu lay on the city wall and watched with wide eyes. "Little Hou Ye! It's the little marquis! Wei Chengwu said ecstatically.

Yunzhu got up abruptly and watched the people in the distance get closer and closer.

The city tower was boiling, and the soldiers raised their swords and shouted, "Victory!" Victory! Victory! ”

Yun Zhu slowly sat back and muttered, "Victory." ”

After a short time, the city gate was wide open, and Su Ling jumped off his horse. He was wearing armor and a sackcloth filial piety robe, which was rotten in some places, stained with blood in some places, and muddy in some places.

Su Ling hugged his helmet and went up to the city tower, bowed in front of Yunzhu, and said in a deep voice, "Mother, win!" ”
