Wang Tao was in the Jiedu Embassy, feeling sorry for himself, he didn't have much life to ask for it, thinking that in the end, in order to save his family, he could only live and die with Xuanfu Town.

Just when he was desperate, Gao Hong suddenly broke into the study, Wang Tao didn't care about anything now, and he just glanced at him lightly for Gao Hong to break into the study without notice, and then sighed to himself.

Gao Hong knew that it was not good as soon as he saw Wang Tao's appearance, Wang Tao had completely lost his fighting spirit now, according to his situation, I am afraid that Xuanfu Town would be broken in two or three days if he was so negative.

Gao Hong hurriedly stepped forward and said to Wang Tao: "Your Excellency can't be so negative, it's not that our Xuanfu Town can't help itself. ”

As soon as Wang Tao heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and asked him anxiously: "How can I save myself?" "After all, who wants to die if they can live.

Gao Hong stiffened his face and said solemnly: "Now we still have a soldier and horse in Xuanfu Town who can fight well, and if I transfer this army and horses, Xuanfu Town will be able to support it." ”

As soon as Wang Tao heard this, he understood, and at the same time, he suddenly realized how he forgot Jia Ke. You must know that Jia Ke is now prestigious. A horse and a halberd pursued and killed Arslen Khan several times in the army of ten thousand horses, but only killed the Tatars in fear.

Jia Ke still has 10,000 soldiers and horses at this time, all of which are the elite he trained, and if this army comes to reinforce, it will definitely be able to ensure the safety of Xuanfu Town.

I think so, but now that Xuanfu Town is surrounded by water, how can I call for help?

Gao Hong had already thought of it, and he said to Wang Tao: "My lord, the Tatars have always been arrogant and look down on my China, and the guards in their camp must be relaxed. to attract the attention of the Tatars, and then send a few elites to break through from the opposite direction. As long as one can rush out, it can move to rescue the troops when it reaches Kaiping Town. When the time comes, he will order Jia Ke to gather all his men and horses to help, and at the same time report to the imperial court, and the imperial court will definitely send people from all over the country to come to reinforcements. In the end, he fought with the Tatars in the town of Xuanfu, and it is not known who killed the deer at that time. ”

When Wang Tao heard Gao Hong's words, he was overjoyed. If it is really like what he said, he will not only have no fault, but also merit. was about to act according to his plan, but when he turned his head and thought about it, he hadn't used a sword for more than ten years, and the fat on his body was probably more than a hundred catties, and there was probably not much martial arts left in this body. If he leads people to attack, I am afraid that before Jia Ke comes, he will die on the battlefield.

Wang Tao began to hesitate when he thought about it, Gao Hong saw that he was still hesitant now, and he was already impatient, and said loudly to Wang Tao: "My lord, what are you hesitating about when the matter is so urgent?" ”

Wang Tao saw that Gao Hong was already anxious, so he was a little embarrassed to tell him his bitterness: "Gao Sai Wine, it's not that I don't want to send troops, I'll tell you the truth, I haven't used swords and soldiers for a long time over the years, and I'm afraid that my martial arts are no longer complete." If I lead the team to the expedition, I am afraid that there will be no one to command the next big battle in Xuanfu Town. After saying this, the old face couldn't help but turn red.

Gao Hong was also a little helpless when he heard him say this, although he knew that Wang Tao had been pampered all these years, but he didn't expect that Wang Tao had thrown away all his ability to get promoted and make a fortune. What Wang Tao said is indeed reasonable, if Wang Tao dies, the dragons in Xuanfu Town will be leaderless, and they will not be defeated when the time comes.

Gao Hong's eyes rolled and he came up with a way, since Wang Tao couldn't fight, he ordered his generals to go instead of him. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?

So Gao Hong said to Wang Tao: "Since the adults can't go out of the city to face the battle, if you send a few of your subordinates to rob the camp from different directions, you can also make the Tatars unable to take care of each other, so that the various detachments can break out of the encirclement." I don't know what adults think? ”

As soon as Wang Tao heard that this method was good, he could not only send people out to rob the camp, but also be safe again. You only need to wait for the results in the city, and you don't have to go into battle yourself, which is really a good way to get the best of both worlds. Yu Shi hurriedly said: "Sir's plan is really powerful, the Tatars must not have imagined that we dare to go to the camp tonight, and we will act according to Mr.'s plan." ”

Wang Tao had a plan, his heart was a little more stable, and he counted the generals under his command in his heart, which made him feel even more helpless. Most of the generals under his command are his old subordinates, and when they were young, they were all braver than the other, but now they are old and weak, and their will has been worn out over the years, I am afraid that no one will be able to complete this task.

Wang Tao thought about it and couldn't find a suitable candidate, so he said to Gao Hong tactfully: "Sir, these generals under me have rich combat experience and command thousands of troops. But all of them are Confucian generals, and it may not be their forte to let them break into battle. ”

Gao Hong was about to vomit blood when he heard it, but you don't know a few of you, and you are still a Confucian general. But he also knows that some people are really harmful when they are young, but these years high-ranking officials have to do it, and horses have to be ridden. is no longer the barefoot boy who relied on his courage and was born for himself.

Gao Hong thought about Wang Tao's generals in his mind, and finally made him think of a person, this is the commander He Tong who was beaten by him, this person is in his thirties, has some courage, and also has a bit of strategy, let him go, although he does not dare to guarantee that he can come back, but the hope is always greater than others, although this matter is a little unauthentic, but for the sake of the entire Xuanfu Town, I can't take care of it.

So he suggested to Wang Tao: "My lord, the commander He Tong has a lot of courage, why don't you let him lead people to steal the camp tonight, what do you think?" ”

As soon as Wang Tao heard him mention He Tong, he remembered this person who had contradicted him several times. What else is there to consider here? In that case, send him first.

Wang Tao immediately ordered that He Tong come to see him, and soon He Tong came to the Jiedu Embassy, and Wang Tao met him in the study.

As soon as Wang Tao saw him, he didn't say much to greet, and directly ordered: "He Tong, this marshal has one thing for you to do today, and if you do it well, it will naturally be meritorious, and our Xuanfu Town can also be preserved." If we don't do that, we'll end up with the city. Do you dare to go with such a burden? ”

He Tongyi heard Wang Tao speak like this, and his heart was cold, in this Xuanfu Town, because he was transferred later, it was not his turn to do good things, and once he encountered any charge, he was afraid that the life of nine deaths would be his.

And Wang Tao gave a direct order this time, without giving himself room to refuse, he knew that he had to agree if he didn't agree, it was better to be impassioned, so he hugged his fists and arched his hand: "My lord, please command, I, He Tong, frowned, I am not a hero." That being said, his brow was furrowed.

Seeing that he was so generous, Wang Tao couldn't help but put aside his previous disgust, and praised loudly: "Okay, good Hetong, I'm relieved to have your words." Tonight you will lead a thousand men and horses to attack the Tatar camp at the third watch tonight, and you will not be asked to kill or wound many enemies, as long as you set fire to it everywhere, make a loud noise, and make as much noise as possible. Can you do it? ”

He Tongyi listened to Wang Tao's instructions and understood that this was a strategy to attack the west. It's just that this Tatar camp is so easy to break into, I'm afraid that this time it will be more than lucky. But at this time, he is no longer allowed to retreat, if he refuses Wang Tao's military order now, I am afraid that he will be beheaded immediately, so he can only stubbornly clasp his hands into fists and say: "Even if the lord gives the order, how can there be disrespectful gifts in humble positions, tonight's third watch, I will prepare more things to ignite the fire, and I will go to the Tatars to make a big fuss in the middle of the Tatars, and see what he can do to me?" ”

Wang Tao was very satisfied with He Tong's words, and ordered him to go down immediately to prepare to leave the city on time for the third watch tonight, and at the same time the Tatar camp.

He Tong said goodbye and left the Jiedu Embassy, and quickly returned home, where his wife Li was anxiously waiting for him, and was relieved to see him return.

When He Tong saw Mrs. Li, he didn't say anything, just grabbed her hand and burst into tears. Mrs. Li felt bad when she saw his scene, and hurriedly asked him what happened, and He Tong said: "I am going to the Tatar camp to rob the camp tonight on the order of the Lord, this time there is more than one bad luck, if you can keep it, you will take care of it at home, and you will take more care of your parents in front of the hall, I am under Jiuquan, and I am also grateful, if you can't keep it, I will send Su'er back to my hometown to my father's mother, which can be regarded as our husband and wife." ”

When Mrs. Li heard what he said, she knew the danger of this time, but the military order was in her body, and she had to respect it, so she hugged He Tong and cried loudly, crying and swearing to him: "The general is going here, dedicating himself to the country, how can I turn my back on chastity and marry someone else, if the general dies, I will be filial piety in front of my parents' bedside, and when Su'er gets married, I will definitely accompany the general under Jiuquan." ”

He Tong listened to Mrs. Li's resoluteness, He Tong knew that she was a person, in fact, she was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, she said so, she would definitely act like this in the future, and at this time she felt that the goodbye of husband and wife was under Jiuquan. I couldn't help but hug Mrs. Li and cry bitterly.

The husband and wife complained to each other, and before they knew it, He Tong knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he ordered Mrs. Li to fetch armor for him.

Although Mrs. Li was sad in her heart, and expected that he would not be able to return again, she still pressed the reluctance in her heart and took the armor for him. Personally put on his belt, put on his helmet and tie his headband, and put on iron armor for him, and fasten the belt around his waist. He put on a red robe for him, and then brought scissors, cut off a strand of his hair, and tied it with his hair, which showed the love between the two. To send a generation, it means that the two will never be separated from each other. After that, he cut off a strand of hair from He Tong's head and put it in his arms.

He Tong was already broken at this time, and after he finished dressing, he glanced at his wife again, and looked his wife up and down carefully, he wanted to remember this scene in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but be full of tears. Suddenly, he knelt in front of his wife with his hands in fists and said, "Say, Madam has suffered you, I'll go first." I must wait for Mrs. to arrive by the bridge, and I hope that Mrs. will look for her carefully. With that, he shook the sleeves of his robe and stood up, and walked out.

Mrs. Li saw him go, and she had fallen to the ground crying. The servants of the family also burst into tears when they saw this scene.
