Gu Zhixing's head was dizzy, and his body was not yet well, and he couldn't see through the situation in front of him at this moment, he got up and took two steps in the room, and suddenly saw the thatched house outside from the window, and there was a faint immature guess in his heart.

Gu Zhixing glanced back at Sun Lei and asked, "How many people did they bring?" ”

Sun Lei quickly replied: "It's not much, it's only about five or six hundred, it's strange to say......"

As he spoke, he frowned, his face full of confusion: "When they arrested us in the coal mine tomorrow morning, they were able to mobilize far more than these, why are there so few people coming now?" Isn't it difficult to attack an entire cottage than to hold a few of us in the morning? ”

Shen Ningjie was also a little puzzled, and after a while, he said softly: "Could it be that they really waited for a large number of people to come?" So why don't we do it now. ”

Sun Lei disagreed and said directly: "But we don't have so many bows and arrows, so if they open the door rashly, if their large army has been secretly ambushing, didn't we give them a chance?" ”

Now they can still defend it, because as long as the city gate does not come, they will not be able to attack easily, if they take the initiative to fight out, in case of an ambush, it is very likely that the whole army will be destroyed.

Shen Ningjie's voice sank a little: "It's not okay to take the initiative to attack, and it's not okay to keep guarding, so what else do you think we can do at the moment, can't we do something to break the deadlock in front of us?" ”

"I don't think they're waiting for someone." The two of them were fighting, if it was in full swing, Gu Zhixing opened his mouth: "If they decided to use a large number of people to encircle and suppress this place from the beginning, it would not be divided into two batches, so they are not waiting for someone, they must be waiting for something else." ”

"What are you waiting for?" Shen Ningjie felt that what he said made sense.

Gu Zhixing slowly walked to the side of the bed, pushed open the window, and the cold wind got used to it, he looked up at the weather outside, although it was cold, there was no rain or snow.

After looking at it for a while. He suddenly asked, "If they attack with fire at this time, can they burn down the entire cottage?" ”

"How is that possible?" Sun Lei was an anxious man, and when he heard this, he didn't think much about it, so he directly denied it: "Now it's the northwest wind, and the southeast of those officers and soldiers outside the cottage will burn at most to the courtyard in front of it, and the entire cottage will not be burned at all." ”

If you want to burn down the entire cottage by fire and without troops, it is definitely impossible.

Shen Ningjie obviously knew what Gu Zhixing meant, and his face was quite solemn for a moment, and he didn't speak immediately.

Gu Zhixing listened to Sun Lei's finished speaking, then stared at Sun Lei and asked word by word: "Now don't you understand what they are waiting for?" ”

Sun Lei hesitated, his head turned woodenly, not very conscious, hesitant and uncertain: "What are you waiting for?" Wait...... Wind?

Gu Zhixing nodded solemnly: "Wait for the wind, I just saw that your entire village is made of thatched roofs, walls and brackets made of bamboo, once you encounter a fire, it will be very good to ignite, when the time comes, do you have to be busy fighting the fire, or deal with them, take the opportunity to attack." ”

Shen Ningjie's face also sank: "Then we can't let them attack, we must take the initiative to attack, even if we can't completely solve it, we have to beat them back today, so that they don't dare to act rashly." ”

Sun Lei still meant just now: "But there are really not so many bows and arrows to enter the battle, and we may not get much benefit." ”

In fact, most of them are women and children who have come back from the outside to help them, and there are not many young adults who can really be sent to the battlefield.

Gu Zhixing sighed deeply and insisted: "I said before, you can't let so many people sit here and wait, since they have to wait, then let them wait, just to free up time for us, isn't it?" Send those women and children away secretly in the back mountain first, and leave those who have combat effectiveness behind, can everyone walk as much as they want? ”

Shen Ningjie pondered for a long moment and then asked softly: "But it was all your guess just now, and you are sure that they must have prepared it this way?" ”

Mainly, a group of people in the back mountains can go after leaving here, he really doesn't know.

Now that the famine outside has just subsided, many people are still too busy to take care of themselves, most of them are desperate people, can they still have a stable place to go outside, do they want to sleep on the street in the cold?

Gu Zhixing just wanted everyone to leave here to avoid the war and save their lives, but he knew that if he left now, everyone had nowhere to go, and he would freeze to death outside.

Gu Zhixing didn't know what Shen Ningjie was hesitating about, and suddenly he was a little angry: "What are you insisting on, what is the point of letting everyone stay, they are powerless, and they can't help, right?" ”

Shen Ningjie couldn't get used to hearing his arrogant and commanding appearance, and suddenly asked angrily: "Then you come and tell me where they can go when they leave here?" It's freezing and freezing, have you ever thought that they went out from here, and if they are online, even if they don't chase them, they won't survive this winter. ”

Gu Zhixing was stunned for a moment, because he had thought about the problem too simply, and he had indeed ignored this problem before.

Shen Ningjie possibly felt that he couldn't tell a prince who didn't understand the suffering of the world at all, he quickly laughed, and his expression was cold: "The prince still takes care of himself, your injuries are not healed, you should rest first, what to do in front of me, I will discuss with my second brother." ”

He had resentment in his heart, so naturally he wouldn't have a good face, and left Sun Lei with a cold face, and hurriedly followed behind him.

Gu Zhixing sighed helplessly, but after all, he couldn't sit still, got up, and prepared to go to the back mountain to have a look, even if what Shen Ningjie said just now made sense, Gu Zhixing still felt that it was not a long-term solution for these people to stay here, and the officers and soldiers would die if they entered.

Qingyun followed behind him, and was somewhat indignant about what happened just now, and said: "The prince is a little ignorant, you are obviously for their good, he doesn't appreciate it, so why do you still have a cold face with you." ”

Gu Zhixing put his hands behind his back, and he didn't react when he heard this, so he only replied softly: "He is also for everyone's consideration, but I was negligent, and now the situation outside is not very good, it is not easy for Shen Ningjie to find a place to live for so many people." ”

Qingyun heard that he was defending Shen Ningjie and didn't dare to say more.

On the other side, Qinglan secretly went down the mountain because he couldn't wait, afraid of something happening, and then bought a horse in Songyan and hurried to the border.

And at this moment, Song Yi is being locked up in the prison of the border army.

No matter how he explained, these people didn't believe that Gu Zhixing's token was obtained by him openly, and even felt that he stole the token and wanted to frame Gu Zhixing with it.

I knew that it was not a big deal for the border army to leave the border without authorization, and if it was really Gu Zhixing's order, then everything would naturally have Gu Zhixing's frank reprimand, otherwise it would be troublesome, and none of them would be able to stand it.

Song Yi had no way at all, no matter how he explained, no one would believe him, because he was not Gu Zhixing's cronies at all, and he couldn't even explain to these people who had been stationed at the border all the year round and had never been to the capital that he was the grandfather of the country.

The general they led was not here, if the general was sure to recognize Song Yi.

But the people who held Song Yi said again: their general went to the border to investigate the enemy's situation, and he would not be able to come back until night, and Song Yi had a headache again, so what would he rescue at night?

He didn't even dare to think about what the situation was on Gu Zhixing's side now, and if he hadn't been transferred to the border army in time, something would have happened to them.

After waiting anxiously for a few hours, at noon, Song Yi finally heard a voice from outside the prison, and then he saw Qinglan being surrounded by people and walked in.

Song Yi was suddenly excited, grabbed the railing in front of him with both hands: "Qinglan, why did you come here, prince?" ”

Qinglan frowned and didn't reply, but hurriedly said to the person next to him first: "This is the grandfather of the Guogong Mansion, he came to Songyan with the prince this time to deal with the famine, and he didn't let the people go quickly." ”

The soldier was taken aback, and quickly apologized and let him go: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Grandpa Guo, we really couldn't confirm your identity in advance, offended." ”

Song Yi couldn't take care of these now, so he hurriedly asked Qinglan: "What's the situation now, why are you here too?" ”

Qinglan's face was very heavy, and he said as he walked out: "The situation is more troublesome, the prince is now in a cottage, we are in the coal mine in the early hours of this morning, Ma Huaiyi's people wanted to kill us, and the people in the cottage saved the prince, and the prince was seriously injured." ”

Song Yi's face sank, and he subconsciously wanted to apologize.

Qinglan didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and said directly: "Now we must bring the border army back as soon as possible, Ma Huaiyi has already sent troops to surround the cottage, and now most of them have already fought, there is not much combat power in the cottage, I'm afraid it won't last long, I'm afraid that something will happen to the prince, won't your general come back?" ”

The last sentence was asked to the soldiers around him.

When the soldiers heard Qinglan's words, they also knew that the situation was urgent, and they also understood that they had arrested Song Yi and locked him up, so they delayed the matter.

For a while, the soldier didn't dare to slack off at all, and quickly said: "I have already asked someone to inform the adjutant general, and the adjutant general will come over immediately." ”

The deputy general did come quickly, and he met with Qinglan a few times, was familiar with Qinglan's identity, and once again confirmed that Gu Zhixing's token was indeed true, and then the deputy general said: "I can take people and horses with you, but I have to make it clear first, now the border situation is also severe, the general is tense all the time, I don't dare to slack off, I naturally don't dare to give you too many people, I'm afraid there are only five or six hundred people who can call." ”

Qinglan frowned slightly, this number is a little less.
