Chapter 292: Siege
"What do you say? The mutton you sent the other day was cut off by you? Chen Ting took a few steps to Gu Hong, reached out and grabbed his collar and said angrily. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Gu Hong was frightened, and his face stammered, "The general is angry!" ”
"Do you know that you have exposed our whereabouts?"
"However, the Tartars did not come to attack us, so they did not know that we were hiding here." Gu Hong hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.
"Maybe they're gathering strength, idiot, are you crazy to take this risk for the sake of a few dozen sheep?" Chen Ting raised his hand and was about to hit him.
Gu Hong subconsciously dodged to the side and said: "It's not dozens of them, just hundreds, general, do you know how long our soldiers haven't touched meat, since we left Gyeonggi, we have cut off meat, the single Tatar people are mainly meat-eating, and they are already stronger than our soldiers, and now they are guarding so many cattle and sheep in the single tartar, you let our soldiers just eat coarse grain and vegetable leaves every day, how can the soldiers stand it." ”
After Chen Ting heard this, he slowly let go of Gu Hong.
Because what Gu Hong said was the truth.
Although Su Muxi sent him to recover the lost land and also arranged the supply of grain and grass, the Lingzhou county guard who supplied the grain and grass did not act according to the holy order at all, but only gave them a few days of grain and grass, and it was given when they were about to arrive in Xincheng.
Chen Ting is known as a victorious general, and he has always been known for seeking stability, no matter what the circumstances, he will not blindly send troops.
So he thought of such a way, and after listening to Gu Hong's words at this time, he knew that they couldn't hide here anymore, otherwise it would bring ruin to the villagers here.
Chen Ting looked back at Dongfang Jin, to the people present, you all go down first.
After everyone left, he said to Dongfang Jin: "Sir, what is the best plan?" ”
Dongfang Jin said: "Capture Xincheng." ”
"Now the eldest prince of Shan Tartar Batu is stationed in Xincheng, and Xincheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if we rush into the palace, the Sun family will definitely be miserable, and when the time comes, not only can we not subdue Xincheng, but also may lose the army, so Chen will have the emperor's trust."
Dongfang Jin slowly stood up and said, "General Chen, guess how the Shan Tartars captured Xincheng?" ”
Chen Ting shook his head and said, "Chen doesn't know, and I haven't heard the people here talk about it. ”
Dongfang Jin smiled: "Because they have internal responses? Someone put them in, only in the muddy waters can they fish, if everything is calm in the big man, how can those who have plans achieve their goals, so he can only make a profit from muddying the waters and making the situation look out of control. ”
"What does Mr. Xian mean that King Xin is still in Xincheng now, and he has not disappeared because of the defeat?" After hearing this, Chen Ting was shocked.
Dongfang Jin nodded and said, "If I guessed correctly, it was he who colluded with the Shan Tatar people and relied on betraying the interests of the Han to get what he wanted." ”
"Now that His Majesty has ascended the throne, what else can he get?" Chen Tingdao.
Dongfang Jin said: "Although Your Majesty has made a dragon chair, but the world has not returned to the heart, and the country is not stable, this General Chen should know." ”
Chen Ting nodded and said, "What should we do according to Mr. Nayi's meaning?" ”
"Make a single Tartar enter the city, and then the inside and the outside should be combined?" Dongfang Jin said simply.
Chen Ting smiled and said: "Sir, this method is easy to say, but it is actually very difficult, Chen has also thought of such a method, but even if we Han people are dressed as single Tartars, but the soldiers at the city gate are not stupid, they will always interrogate, we don't know the internal affairs of the single Tartar, and the people at the city gate will reveal their stuffing as soon as they ask." When the time comes, it will backfire. ”
Dongfang Jin smiled and said, "But now you have me." ”
"Sir, do you know about Shan Tartar?"
"I don't understand."
Chen Ting was stunned for a moment after hearing this, only to hear Dongfang Jin continue: "But they really want to catch me, as long as the general sends someone to take me from entering the city." ”
Chen Ting smiled awkwardly, after all, it was the first time he and Dongfang Jin met today, although Dongfang Jin gave him the "Illustration of the Thirty-six Soldiers", but he didn't know the authenticity.
I don't know anything about Dongfang Jin.
Seeing him hesitate, Dongfang Jin said, "Is the general afraid that after I enter the city, he won't give the general an internal response?" Think about it, if I spent a long time just to enter the city, then I would go to the city gate to call the door myself, why bother to come all the way to you. ”
"It's not that Chen doesn't trust Mr., he just thinks it's too dangerous." Chen Ting hurriedly waved his hand.
"Don't think about me, after your people brought me into the city, I naturally have a way to meet you, after you see me enter the city, after you receive my signal, you will attack, don't blindly attack the city."
Chen Ting nodded nonchalantly and said, "How much does the gentleman need to bring into the city?" ”
"Five people will do." Dongfang Jin stretched out his hand and said.
"Five!" Chen Ting said in surprise, "What are five people enough to do?" ”
Dongfang Jin said: "Five people are enough, and if there are more people, it will arouse suspicion." ”
Chen Ting still couldn't believe what Dongfang Jin said at this time, but now that their position had been exposed, he had no choice but to take the risk of believing Dongfang Jin.
After he finished chatting with Dongfang Jin, he immediately issued an order for the whole armament to fight, and selected five people to send to Dongfang Jin.
Dongfang Jin personally dressed them up, and they were originally strong men of the Han nationality, but now they have become rough grassland people.
Chen Ting couldn't help but sigh when he saw it: "If they can say Shan Tartar again, then we will also think that they are Shan Tartar, let alone the guards in the city." Mr. is really skilled, such a superb disguise technique, Chen has really heard of it, and has never seen it. ”
"It's just a small skill of carving insects."
Dongfang Jin took the unknown soldier out of the village.
"What's your name?"
"Under the king tree roots!"
"Wang Ji!"
"Wang Zhong!"
"Wang Kai"
"Wang Chao"
After they finished reporting their names one by one, Dongfang Jin couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you five brothers?" ”
They were told by Dongfang Jin, their faces were slightly confused, and Wang Shugen said: "We are not brothers, but brothers in life and death, we are all people from the same village." ”
Dongfang Jin nodded and said, "Well, I know, now I'm going to give each of you a single tartar name, you can all remember it, don't forget your name." ”
They saluted Dongfang Jin and said in unison: "Yes!" ”
"Wang Shugen, your name is Battle!" Dongfang Jin pointed to Wang Shugen and said.
Wang Shugen nodded and repeated: "Yes, my name is Battle, someone asks you what your name means, and you tell him that you are a hero on the grassland." ”
"Yes!"
Then Dongfang Jin said to Wang Ji: "In the future, you will be called Ilad, and you are the war knife on the grassland!" Wang Zhong, you are the upright Asgen, Wang Kai, you are the rich Bayin, and Wang Chao is the warrior Dai Qin," after she finished speaking, she emphasized: "Do you all remember your name and its meaning?" ”
They all repeated, "Remember! ”
"Okay, let's go into town."
***************************************************************************
About two hours after Dongfang Jin left Qingfeng Hall, Su Muxuan returned to Qingfeng Hall with a snack in his hand.
As soon as he entered the door, he said to Dongfang Yu: "You are a doctor, help me see, what's wrong with me?" Why is it dizzy, I almost can't find the way back to Qingfengtang. ”
Dongfang Yu stepped forward to give him a pulse, and after a while, he looked at Su Muxuan with some surprise in his eyes and did not speak.
"Doctor Dongfang, what's wrong with me?" Su Muxuan asked.
Dongfang Yu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Well, it's okay, maybe it's because of the water and soil adaptation, you can go back to your room and rest for a while." ”
Su Muxuan nodded and walked towards the back with some doubts.
Dongfang Yu said to himself with some confusion: "This person is obviously a sign of poisoning, could it be that my sister used poison on him?" Why? ”
He shook his head in confusion and continued to get busy.
After a while, I saw Su Muxuan hurriedly running out from behind, and came to Dongfang Yu and said, "Have you seen your sister and her?" In that direction? ”
After Dongfang Yu listened to Su Muxuan's words, he immediately understood why he was poisoned, and hurriedly ran to the back, checked the various rooms, and sure enough, there was no Dongfang Jin.
"Sister is gone again?" Dongfang Yu lost his mind.
"Don't you know if she's gone or not? Aren't you just on the outside? Su Muxuan said anxiously.
Dongfang Yu glanced at Su Muxuan and said: "Qingfeng Hall has the back door again, since my sister wants to leave here, how can I let me know that it is naturally the back door, and it is not all because of you, if you are not here, my sister will definitely not leave." ”
After hearing this, Su Muxuan was stunned for a moment and said: "I will definitely find her, she must have secretly returned to the capital, I will go to the capital to find her." ”
With that, he walked outside.
Dongfang Yu saw that he was still carrying the horseshoe crisp he bought for Dongfang Jin in his hand, and he suddenly felt a little unbearable.
In the past few days, he has seen that Su Muxuan is afraid of falling when he holds Dongfang Jin in his hands, and he is afraid of melting in his mouth, and he spoils her like a child, which can be described as obedient.
Although it didn't know what Dongfang Jin's attitude was towards this person, but for the sake of his infatuation with Dongfang Jin, Dongfang Yu stopped him: "It's a long way to the capital, you are alone, if you don't even bring a little bit of entanglement, how can you go to the capital." ”
After Dongfang Yu finished speaking, he took out fifty taels of silver from the counter and put it in Su Muxuan's hand and said, "This is the road money I gave you, I hope you have a smooth journey." ”
This is the first time Su Muxuan has received so much silver from others, and he hurriedly said: "No need, I can figure out how to deal with the silver myself." ”
Dongfang Jin looked at him for a moment and said: "Okay, you don't want to die to save face and suffer from it, I have seen it in the past few days, you look at it as a pampered young master, on weekdays, you must come to reach out for food to open your mouth, it is not convenient to go out and do anything, what do you take to earn silver, or take it, this is not only for you, if you can catch up with my sister, there is also silver to take care of her." ”
"Thank you!" Su Muxuan took the silver into his arms, and arched his hand at Dongfang Yu: "There will be a period later!" ”
After that, he set out on his way back to Beijing.
***********************************************************************
Capital! Chengqian Palace!
Su Muxi frowned and listened to the report from the person who came back from the front line: "Your Majesty, the minister has indeed searched everywhere, but he has not seen the figure of General Chen Ting, nor the shadow of the 100,000 army. ”
"Did they disappear out of thin air?" After hearing this, Su Muxi couldn't help but say angrily.
"The minister doesn't know, there is no tension in the front of the battle, and the minister doubts whether General Chen Ting's army is going to the direction of Xincheng."
After hearing this, Su Muxi pondered for a while and said, "Wait, I believe that General Chen Ting is loyal to the Great Han, if there is nothing to do, the tide will recede." ”
"Chen Qijuan, Your Majesty has ascended the throne, so he should be established this morning, otherwise if the throne remains vacant, it will not be conducive to the stability of our dynasty."
"The minister thinks so too."
"The minister is also, if there is already a candidate for the future position in mind to avoid suspicion, let's set the date of the post-sealing ceremony as soon as possible, and our Ministry of Rites can prepare in advance."
Su Muxi glanced at the people below, and Guo Shitong lowered his head and didn't say a word, knowing that this must be his idea, so he said: "Guo Xiangguo, what do you think, now that the war in Xincheng is tight, do you think I should recover Xincheng first and then set up, or, when the battle in front of me kills the enemy, I will put up a lantern here to celebrate the ceremony?" ”
After Guo Shitong listened to Su Muxi's words, he knelt on the ground busily, "Naturally, the battle ahead is more important." ”
As soon as he said this, Su Muxi immediately stood up, turned around and walked off the dragon chair and went to the side hall.
When the ministers saw this, they had no choice but to retreat.
Two days later, Su Muxi still had no news from Chen Ting, so he couldn't sit still, if there was no news from Chen Ting, he would only have to drive the royal conquest in person.
At this moment, suddenly Xincheng came with Chen Ting's good news.
"Your Majesty, General Chen Ting has successfully taken Xincheng." The soldiers who reported the victory panted and presented the good news.
The little eunuch Wushuang hurriedly took the good news and gave it to Su Muxi with both hands.
Su Muxu hurriedly opened it and carefully looked at it twice from beginning to end, but his face was not as excited as when he heard the good news just now.
After reading it, he rolled up the good news, and said with a slight smile on his face: "In a few days, General Chen Ting will return to Beijing, and he will order him to go down and prepare to meet them." ”
Wushuang hurriedly responded: "Yes, General Chen Ting has returned triumphantly, and the slave maid will order them to go down and prepare them to welcome the heroes back to the court." ”
Su Muxu nodded and didn't speak, his face sank little by little, which made Wushuang a little overwhelmed.
"Official, did something happen?" Wushuang asked boldly. (To be continued.) )
