(Chapter 36) Lonely Snow Still Falls in Tuzhou City (19)

"If it's already planned, why be so sentimental."

Under the cold moon, Du Rong walked up to me gently, and he couldn't help but sigh slightly when he saw my expression.

I stared intently at the moonlight hanging above my head, and suddenly felt dazzling.

"Du Rong, I know what I'm going to do."

Du Rong also looked at Mingyue with my gaze, and he said, "Didn't you think about putting it down?" Drop it all ......"

I shook my head, "Never thought about it. ”

A pair of blood-stained hands can't be washed clean.

Du Rong was clear, this was also the answer he expected, but he still felt inexplicably melancholy.

The look in his eyes changed and changed, and he finally decided not to think about these things anymore.

"The rebels are about to attack the city, so you must have adjusted your defenses in the city, right?" Du Rong casually found a topic to ask me.

I nodded, "Well, it's all set." ”

"When are you going to play?"

"Tomorrow."

"Planning a quick fix?"

"Hmm,"

"Gu Yuancheng is not so easy to deal with, right?"

"News came from the State of Qi that Emperor Qi suddenly fell into a coma, and he couldn't stay long in Daqin."

"Emperor Qi is now in the prime of life, how could he suddenly fall into a coma?"

"How do I know that? Maybe it's a fire in the backyard, or it's a dark disease. ”

"Are you sure it wasn't you who did it?"

"Huh." I laughed, "You also think too highly of me, I'm just a little minion who has just sat on the position of prime minister, since Emperor Qi can afford to use Gu Yuancheng, will he still be calculated by me?" ”

Du Rong was noncommittal, "This is not necessarily, our emperor can afford to use you, but don't you still calculate him?" Who is afraid to calculate, and who is not to be calculated? ”

I only smiled symbolically, without saying a word.

Du Rong didn't say anything anymore, just quietly accompanied me to watch the moonlight on a winter night.

Snow, white; roof, white; earth, white; Moonshine is also white.

There was a white expanse in front of me, and I couldn't see it.

It's so quiet.

"Peng! Peng! Peng!"

"Kill!"

"Help!"

I had just sighed in my heart when the sudden loud crash came from far and near, and my hazy thoughts were pulled back into place.

"Here we go." I looked solemn and turned to leave, when the guard who happened to report the news also hurried over.

"Prime Minister, the rebels have attacked Yixian."

I said I understood, and told him to go to the Tuzhou cell now to do something.

"Really going?" Du Rong couldn't help but want to stop me.

I looked back at him and said firmly, "Yes." ”

He was stunned by my gaze for a moment, then shook his head helplessly. He waved his hand and went with me.

I turned around and walked to my room, and after only a few steps, I stopped, turned to him, and said, "Thank you for today's incident." ”

Du Rong only smiled, with a little astringency.

He wanted her to thank him for the company under the moon and watching the snow in front of the court, but he knew that she just wanted to thank him for everything he had done for her in the yamen.

Wind and snow, love and hatred, will she have it?

He didn't know.

I walked into the chamber and put on the armor that I had prepared long ago.

Grabbing the sword on the sword stand, I pushed open the door.

The slowly rising Nuan Xu illuminates the silence of the night little by little, and the brilliant glow is like the blurry charm of the best silk in the south of the Yangtze River in the sun.

The snow stopped, and I seemed to hear the chirping of birds in the distance.

"My lord, please get on the horse." The guard picked a brown steed with a shiny coat and led it to me.

I pulled the reins of my horse and rolled over and sat down.

"Are all the soldiers in the city ready?"

"Yes."

"What about the victims?"

"All moved to a safe place."

"Have you told General Jiang about the grain and grass?"

"Yes. The young general asked the last general to tell the adults to be careful. ”

"Okay." I nodded, "Let's go." ”

I drove my horse out, but the guards hesitated.

"What's wrong?" I looked back at him.

The guard was just about to say something, but suddenly clenched his fists and said, "Lord Wang." ”

I paused, and then turned around in surprise to look at Wang Jie standing at the gate of the mansion.

"Why did you come back so soon?"

Wang Jie looked at me with a calm face, and big drops of sweat slipped down from his forehead into his clothes, and the originally dark clothes were actually wet at a glance.

"You ......" I was stunned when I saw his appearance clearly.

"Why," Wang Jie looked at me with a gloomy face, "why do you want to leave me alone?" ”

I was silent, and then smiled and said, "Grain and grass are important materials for disaster relief and marching and fighting. ”

Wang Jie didn't listen to me at all, he stepped on his horse, tightened the reins and said to me, "I'm going." ”

I immediately vetoed, "No." ”

"I'm going!"

There is no time to delay, but I still want to convince him. I said to him, "If you stay in the city, you can take care of me, what can you do when you go to war with me?" ”

"Protect you." He looked cold, "This is my duty. ”

I clenched the reins, and my face turned cold, "Don't go." ”

"I ......"

"Someone, drag him to jail."

Dozens of attendants went up and pressed Wang Jie on the horse to the ground, Wang Jie wanted to resist, but after several days and nights of running around, coupled with a crowd of enemies, his weapons were accidentally thrown on the way back, and he was quickly tied hand and foot.

"Your Excellency!"

I waved my hand and said, "Take it down." ”

Wang Jie was dragged away directly.

I let out a breath and my expression returned to calm.

"Let's go."

I galloped to the city gate with a group of guards.

"Why not stop it?"

In the attic, Jiang Hewei looked at the city gate with a killing sound in the distance.

"What about you?" Du Rong asked rhetorically, "Why don't you go to the battlefield on her behalf?" ”

Jiang Hewei's expression was calm, and he said lightly, "It's the path she chose herself, and no one can go down for her." ”

"Not to mention ......"

"Besides, she never needed someone else to do it for her." Du Rong took his words.

After being classmates for so long, who still doesn't know whom?

There was a sentence that tossed and turned in his mouth for a long time, but Du Rong still said it, "Hewei, I stopped her ......"

"It won't work out." Jiang Hewei only replied to him like this.

"Yes......" Du Rong smiled self-deprecatingly.

There are geese flying south, and their journey is dangerous.

There is Peng Beifei, and its road is rugged.

I came to the makeshift tent, and Ge Jun was already waiting for me.

"What is the current situation?" I asked.

Ge Jun unfolded the map on his desk, and he pointed to a few places and said, "There are quite a few rebels, I sent a sentry to investigate, these places are where the rebels are stationed." ”

I looked at the places Ge Jun pointed to and frowned, "They are actually stationed separately?" ”

Ge Jun's face was also a little solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid this matter is not good." ”

"After all, the rebels are not always regular troops, and most of them are stragglers, or even gangs, and if we fight, these people will scatter in a hurry, and when we are tired of fighting, these people will gather together to attack us, and we will probably be in a disadvantageous situation."

Ge Jun's analysis was very correct, I expected that Gu Yuancheng also took this into account, so he simply separated them.

"What if we put them in a big circle?" I said.

Ge Jun shook his head, "The troops are not enough, besides, even if the troops are enough, in such a large circle, the scattered soldiers will not be able to resist them at all." ”

That's a real nuisance.

"Then what if we concentrate our forces and break them one by one?"

"No, either." Ge Jun still shook his head, "Although these people are temporarily gathered together, they are now a whole after all, and they are not too far apart from each other, so we can easily be attacked by them before and after." ”

Indeed, since ancient times, it has been most difficult for hooligans like this to pull out, fight, fight, and persuade them to surrender, and in the blink of an eye, they will return to their old business. However, usually they will not form a group, because there are many contradictions such as mutual distrust, uneven distribution of interests, threats to status, mutual friction and unconvincing, and turf being occupied. After all, a mountain bandit who does not obey the law, will he honestly obey the words of others?

From this point of view, how high Gu Yuancheng's means are.

"Then we won't be able to move." I said lightly.

"What do you mean...... Bypass them and attack the city directly? Ge Jun asked me uncertainly.

I nodded, then shook my head again, "It's not to bypass, it's to disperse." ”

When Ge Jun heard me say this, he immediately realized.

"That is to say, we will first send a few small groups of men and horses to disperse them, and then disperse, and our main force will take advantage of this to directly attack the city."

"A rabble is a rabble after all, and they are not willing to fight us to the death of their own men. As for the county seat, since most of their men and horses are used to attack Yixian, it is expected that there are not many soldiers and horses left in the city, and we can definitely easily recapture the seized county seat. ”

I knew that Ge Jun was definitely a talented general who could grow, and it was very easy to be with him. Unlike in the past, when she was still working as a staff member next to Emperor Cen as the crown prince, those old horsemen who relied on their age to play tricks were stubborn, relying on the old and selling the old.

"That's the difference between an army and a mountain bandit." I said, "One sees death as home, and the other is cowardly and shoots death." ”

Ge Jun agreed with me: "Yes, it does. ”

"Then let's assign the task next." I sat down on the main seat and raised my eyebrows to look at Ge Jun, "The errand of fighting the mountain bandit group is too tiring, and the appearance is not in good health, so this task will be handed over to General Ge." ”

Ge Jun, who was still studying carefully, was stunned, and then his tone showed a slight disdain, and he nodded, "Okay, this matter is left to the last general." ”

"Then the prime minister will lead the army to attack the city, if everything goes well," I stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "The prime minister will return to Beijing and invite you to eat the most famous 'Phoenix Tour' in the capital." ”

Ge Jun glanced at me, "Don't dare to let adults break the bank, and finally you can afford to eat." ”

Why are Pei Lao's people all this virtue? The suspicion is also too serious.

I shook my head regretfully.

Ge Jun glared at me, and I shrugged my shoulders to show my innocence.

"Let's go to war." I opened the door.
