238 And the prince came

When the Henan Governor heard the announcement, he rushed to the city for the first time.

"What's the situation?" Seeing Chen Yongfu coming over, he immediately asked, "The thieves took advantage of the night to evacuate?" ”

"Your Excellency, please look!" Chen Yongfu hurriedly walked a few steps, approached the battlements, and then pointed to the bandit camp outside the city, turned his head and said to Gao Mingheng, "The bandit camp is empty!" ”

Gao Mingheng hurriedly walked a few steps, maybe he was too excited, he tripped himself and almost fell, but fortunately, Chen Yongfu was quick and helped him.

If it were normal, it would be embarrassing. However, at this time, Gao Mingheng didn't care at all, and looked at the thief camp outside the city as soon as possible.

Sure enough, although it was a little far away, it could still be clearly seen that there was no one in the thief camp.

"This" Gao Mingheng couldn't help but be excited, dragged a long voice, turned his head to look at Chen Yongfu, and immediately asked, "The thief is gone?" ”

When he said this, he suddenly remembered something, so he hurriedly added: "Could it be that two days ago, the thieves went out in a big way, and they lost the battle, so they ran away?" ”

Looking at Lord Gao's expectant gaze, Chen Yongfu was very calm and said calmly: "My lord, there is this possibility. But the general thinks that this is unlikely! ”

When Gao Mingheng heard him speak at the beginning, his face suddenly showed ecstasy, but then he heard the second half of his sentence, and immediately, he was unhappy, and lowered his face and asked, "Why is it unlikely?" ”

Despite this, he understands that when it comes to war experience, it must be Chen Yongfu's more reasonable. Therefore, deep down in his heart, he was very disappointed.

Chen Yongfu listened, and when he was about to explain, he heard another movement behind him, and turned his head to look, but saw that it was King Zhou with his sons, who was going to the city.

Seeing them turn around, King Zhou hurriedly asked happily, "I heard that the thieves have retreated?" Isn't it? Did the thieves retreat? ”

His kind of overjoyed feeling was simply overwhelming, and he didn't hide it at all.

When Gao Mingheng heard this, he said calmly: "Your Highness, the thief has retreated. However, this official thinks that things are not so simple as they seem! ”

When Chen Yongfu heard this, he was a little surprised, and couldn't help but glance at him, but he didn't say anything very wisely.

"What, what's going on?" With a little gasp, King Zhou stood at the battlement, looked at the camp of thieves outside the city, and asked with obvious disappointment.

When Gao Mingheng heard this, he replied to him: "The thieves made a big move two days ago, and the official noticed it, they"

He was about to make it up, when suddenly, Chen Yongfu interrupted him and said, "My lord, there is movement!" ”

When Gao Mingheng heard this, he was startled and immediately turned his head to look.

Sure enough, in the direction of Chen Yongfu's finger, that is, in the direction of the Yellow River, there was a group of cavalry troops, galloping towards Kaifeng City.

It's like patches of red clouds, floating this way.

When Gao Mingheng saw it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "This is the night of the imperial court officials and soldiers?" ”

As soon as he said it, he suddenly came back to his senses, immediately smiled and said to King Zhou: "Of course, it is also possible that the thief is pretending, we must not be careless!" ”

"The tall man is reasonable, the thieves are scheming, you can't guard against it, you can't guard against it!" When King Zhou heard this, he quickly nodded in agreement.

He said this because there had been cases of thieves pretending to be officials and soldiers in the past and trying to deceive the gate of Kaifeng.

As they spoke, those who did not collect the night came quickly, and in groups, some went to the camp of thieves, some went to Kaifeng City, and some went in other directions.

The people at the head of Kaifeng City, from the King of Zhou to the ordinary soldiers, did not speak one by one, and all stared at these nights without watching. It's as if they can tell if these nights are real or not!

I saw that those who did not collect at night had no scruples at all, entered the range of the defenders at the head of the city, reached the moat, and then shouted at the head of the city: "The army of the Duke of China came to the rescue of Kaifeng, and the thief army killed and wounded 50,000 prisoners, a great victory!" ”

Hearing this, the ordinary soldiers at the head of the city couldn't help but cheer loudly when they heard this. The imperial court reinforcements arrived, and the thief army was defeated, and the siege was lifted in Kaifeng!

However, on King Zhou's side, there was no cheering.

I saw King Zhou look at Gao Mingheng and ask with expectation, "Lord Gao, is this true?" ”

Gao Mingheng turned his head and glanced at Chen Yongfu, then frowned and said, "Guogong is leading the army? Which country is it? Our nobles of the Ming Dynasty, are there still people who can fight? ”

If he could really fight, he would not have been until now, and he has not seen a noble army leading an army.

The implication of his words has actually been understood, the great victory shouted by the night outside the city is eighty percent fake.

Because King Zhou had just received the holy decree, when he heard his repeated questions, he guessed: "Could it be the Xingguo Gong who is now in full swing?" ”

"Xingguo Gong?" When Gao Mingheng heard this, he repeated in a low voice, and he was even more convinced in his heart that the night outside the city was fake.

They don't want to think about it, so they say that the leaders of the princes in the court are more reliable than the leaders of the Xingguo Princes! Because that Xingguo Gong seems to be very young, he has never heard of the experience of leading troops to fight before, and he can defeat the thieves, and he is the kind that wins big?

However, although he thought so in his heart, he was not completely sure, so he turned to Chen Yongfu and said, "You come to ask, this official will see if there are any flaws!" ”

Shouting loudly, participating.

When Chen Yongfu heard this, he immediately shouted outside the city: "I haven't heard that there are imperial reinforcements arriving, who is the prince you are talking about, how many soldiers and horses, and where is the prince now?" ”

When the leader outside the city heard this, he replied loudly: "Of course it's Xingguo Gong!" There were more than 20,000 Lingjing battalions, and the Xiaoyuan battalion was incorporated into the small Yuan battalion, plus five guerrillas, totaling more than 50,000. Now the prince is leading the troops and is coming to Kaifeng. You're ready to go! ”

As soon as he heard this, Gao Mingheng on the side asserted: "This is to let us go out of the city and have a good calculation!" ”

He had good reason to be sure that it must have been a thief in disguise.

Don't talk about Xingguo Gong, just absorb Xiao Yuanying, this is impossible! After all, there is an example of Zhang Xianzhong, who would dare to recruit an thief again!

King Zhou heard what he meant, and couldn't help but feel depressed, it turned out that Kaifeng still hadn't been relieved!

Today's Kaifeng City is almost out of food! If it continues like this, I am afraid that it will be a matter of time before Kaifeng falls!

Thinking like this, he was a little unwilling, so he confirmed to Gao Mingheng: "What does Lord Gao mean, this night outside the city is not collected, in fact, it is the thief army?" ”

Gao Mingheng listened, and was about to answer in the affirmative, when he suddenly heard a very strange movement from the side of the Yellow River.

So, instead of answering immediately, he listened attentively.

At the head of Kaifeng City, other people also heard the movement, so they all quieted down one by one. In this way, they can hear clearly.

"The wind is howling, the horses are howling"

The lyrics are short, easy to understand, and tens of thousands of people sing in unison, and they are so majestic.

Gao Mingheng immediately heard the meaning of protecting the family and defending the country in the song, and suddenly, he began to wonder again.

If it was a thief, he would definitely not toss so much, and he would make such a tune and sing it in unison.

However, among the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, they had never heard of such a song before!

Thinking so, he turned his head and asked Chen Yongfu suspiciously, "Have you ever heard of it?" ”

Gao Mingheng suspected that this was a song in the army, and he had not heard of it. However, if it is really a song in the army, Chen Yongfu must know it.

However, Chen Yongfu shook his head and said, "How can there be such a song in the army, it is unheard of!" ”

However, as a man in the army, he is sure of one thing, the thief will definitely not be able to sing such a tune so vigorously. Therefore, he added: "It should really be the arrival of imperial reinforcements!" ”

When a few people on the side heard this, they couldn't help but look forward to it again, if the imperial court reinforcements arrived, it would be really great!

So, no one spoke in the city, and one by one they stretched their necks and looked into the distance, looking in the direction of the Yellow River.

The song of defending the Yellow River is simple, easy to understand, and catchy. When the army is marching, it can also sing loudly. And over and over again, and nothing gets in the way.

It may be because this is made by the Guogong, or it may be that all armies have the meaning of competition, and it may also be because it is rare to have a song suitable for the army, so the song of defending the Yellow River is like waves, and wave after wave is rushing to the side of Kaifeng City.

By the time the head of Kaifeng City saw the troops coming from the city, all of which were the uniforms of the imperial court officers and soldiers, and they could see the banners, many of the defenders on the city had already sung in a low voice.

"My lord, it's true, it's really a reinforcement from the imperial court!" At this moment, Chen Yongfu suddenly said to Gao Mingheng very excitedly.

When he saw Gao Mingheng turn his head to look at him, he pointed with his hand and said: "My lord, please look, isn't that Wu Zi the guerrilla who came a few days ago, Wu Sangui, yes, it's him!" ”

Without waiting for Gao Mingheng to speak, he pointed to a banner with the word "white", and hurriedly added: "That's Bai Guangen, yes, it's him, and he has been here before." ”

When Gao Mingheng arrived at the city last time, Wu Sangui and the others had already left and didn't see him. But it didn't matter, because his eyes were already fixed on where the Chinese army was.

There, under the banner of the word "Zhang", a person wearing a python suit was very dazzling. As long as you look at the people in the past, the first thing you must look at is this person in a python suit.

When Gao Mingheng heard it, when he really wanted to speak, he heard a surprised voice behind him: "Where is Guogong, where is Guogong?" ”

He turned his head and saw that it was the angel who had come to deliver the decree before, and he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Let's see, is it really the prince of the country who is here?" ”

The angel couldn't break through after the decree, so he stayed in the city. To be honest, the mood is not very good, and if there is no reinforcements from the imperial court, it will be dead.

Therefore, at this time, he was still instructed by others, and immediately looked at it, and immediately jumped up happily: "It's Guogong, it's Guogong, Guogong is here!" ”
