"Fifth son, immediately send someone to send this secret letter to Yongcheng and hand it over to Yiming." Guo Qi stamped the fire paint seal and handed it to Li Wudao.

"No! Someone will be sent to do it. Li Wu responded.

"Go for it! By the way, when Chen Feng returns to the city, let him come to see me. ”

"No! Retired from his position. ”

After Li Wu left, Guo Qi walked to the map and said silently: "Life and death are at stake here, but it is difficult for Yongzhou's military strength alone to resist Murong Chui's army, and now I can only hope that the Western Army can send troops to rescue as soon as possible." ”

This kind of thing of pinning his life on others, Guo Qi feels very sad, but what can be done! Who has made his strength too weak!

"Humble Chen Feng to meet the lord."

"Coming back, what's going on outside the city?"

"My lord, about 100,000 arrows of all kinds were recovered, and countless weapons were seized; In addition, the traps, horses, and thistles outside the city have been arranged. Chen Feng reported.

"It's hard work, go back and rest!"

"No! Retired from his position. ”

Two days later, the camp of Qishan City.

This is the Chinese army battalion of the Western Army of Great Qi, responsible for commanding the elite 150,000 Northwest Frontier Army of Great Qi; And the person in charge of commanding this elite army is Zhao Kui, a fierce general of the Great Qi.

"Who's here? The barracks must not be approached, and leave quickly, otherwise we will release arrows. The officer guarding the camp gate shouted into the carriage parked outside.

Song Yiming got down from the carriage and saluted the officers guarding the barracks: "In the Xiayong Palace, the governor of the palace of Shi Song Yiming, there is something important to ask to see General Zhao, and he is also bothered by the little brother to report. ”

"You said that you are the chief of the palace, you are the chief of the palace! What is the evidence? The officer didn't even look at Song Yiming and said.

"Here is a seal letter as proof, and please borrow a step to verify it." Song Yiming was still very polite.

The officer followed Song Yiming to the side, and Song Yiming secretly stuffed a money bag into the officer's hand and said, "Little brother, this is the official's seal, and please verify it." ”

The officer shook the money bag in his hand and said with a smile: "If the seal letter is true, I will report it to the general, as for whether the general is willing to see you, it depends on your creation." ”

"Thank you, little brother." Song Yiming hurriedly saluted.

As the saying goes, 'take people's money and eliminate disasters with others'; after the officers received the money, they naturally did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately went back to the camp to find the general of their own family.

"Newspaper, newspaper, newspaper...... Mr. Shi Song Yiming, the general and the head of the Yongwang Mansion outside the camp, asked to see him. The officer came to the big tent of the Chinese army to report.

Zhao Kui, who was wiping the horizontal knife, put the horizontal knife into the scabbard, and said with a puzzled eye: "Shi Song Yiming, the head of the Yongwang Mansion, what is he doing at this time, let him come in." ”

It didn't take long for Song Yiming to enter the big tent.

"In Xiayong, the governor of the palace, Shi Song Yiming, met with the general." Song Yiming saluted respectfully.

"Sir, please take a seat, I wonder what Mr. is doing here?" Zhao Kui asked.

"General Yu, I'm here to ask for reinforcements." Song Yiming said eagerly: "The general may not know, now that the Xirong army has come to Huangyang Pass, my prince has led all the Yongzhou soldiers and civilians to fight against the Xirong army in Huangyang Pass, and asked the general to send troops to rescue quickly." ”

"What?" Zhao Kui sent the commander to say: "How is the war now? ”

"Two days ago, Murong Chui, the general of Xirong Zuo, once led an army of 100,000 to storm Huangyang Pass, and my prince led the Yongzhou army and people to fight to the death before the Xirong army was repulsed; Although more than 10,000 enemies were killed in this battle, our Yongzhou soldiers and civilians also suffered heavy casualties! Please also ask the general to send troops to rescue quickly. ”

"Ben Jiang wanted to send troops to rescue, but there is no His Majesty's Shengyu and military talismans, and there is no military transfer document from the Ministry of War, Ben Jiang is really powerless!" Zhao Kui was very embarrassed and said: "But don't worry, sir, I will repair a letter and submit it to His Majesty and the Ministry of War, explain the situation, and ask the court to make a decision." ”

"Then there is General Lao, and I will take my leave first." After listening to Zhao Kui's words, Song Yiming bowed and saluted.

"Mr. Song go slowly, the general still has military affairs to deal with, so I won't be far away."

After coming out of the camp, Song Yiming glanced at the Qishan camp coldly.

"Sir, are things going well?" The little guy who drove the carriage asked Song Yiming.

"Humph! Zhao Kui refused to send troops. Song Yiming said coldly: "Quickly set off to Huangyang Pass and report to the lord." ”

"No! Please get on the bus. ”

Song Yiming got into the carriage and galloped all the way, and finally arrived at Huangyang Pass in a day and a night.

"My lord, Lord Song asks to see you." Li Wu walked into the study to report.

"Let him in!"

"Humble duties see the lord." After Song Yiming came in, he knelt down and saluted Guo Qi.

"Get up! What happened to the king and asked you to do it? When did General Zhao send troops? ”

"Humble and incompetent, please punish the lord."

Hearing this, Guo Qi frowned and said, "Yiming, what do you mean by this?" ”

"My lord, Zhao Kui said that there is no His Majesty's Shengyu and military talismans, and there is no document for the transfer of troops from the Ministry of War to refuse to send troops."

"Bang! Darn. Guo Qi angrily slapped the handsome case and said: "He is prevaricating the king, he really deserves to die." ”

"The Lord is angry; The matter has come to this, and the lord still needs to make plans in advance. ”

Guo Qi calmed down a little and said, "Yiming, get up!" It's not your fault, you're right, and it needs to be considered in the long run; Yiming, what do you think this king should do next? ”

"It's really not good, the lord can go back to Luodu." Song Yiming secretly glanced at Guo Qi and said.

"No, this king will not go back; It was not easy for this king to lay this foundation, how could he give up! Even this king will die in Yongzhou. Guo Qi said sharply: "Yiming, you go back to Yongcheng now, gather all the soldiers and civilians in Yongzhou, if the Huangyang Pass is not guaranteed, this king will lead the army to retreat to Yongcheng, where he will fight to the death with the Xirong army; Remember that this is a top secret and is not to be known to anyone but you and me. ”

"No! Commanded by humility. Song Yiming ordered.

Two days later, the town guarded the lobby of the mansion.

"My lord, the spies reported that a large number of Xirong reinforcements came from the west, and they also brought a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance, stretching for dozens of miles." Tang Bi saluted Guo Qi and reported.

"It seems that Murong Chui's reinforcements have arrived." Guo Qi got up from the handsome chair and said with a smile: "We should also have a good time with them." ”

"Ha, ha, ha,......," the generals laughed.

"Hu Qiong, have all the ordnance transported from Yongcheng been replenished?" Guo Qi asked.

"The lord has already replenished it, please rest assured."

"Hmmm! Very good; The generals will listen to the order, from now on, the northern city defense will be dominated by Tang Bi and Li Wufu, and the southern city defense will be supplemented by Hu and Chen Feng. ”

"Obey the orders of the Lord and the Lord, and we will not fail in our mission." The four of them answered the order together.

"If nothing else, just step down! Zhuo Yidao stayed. ”

After everyone left, Guo Qi asked Zhuo Yidao: "This king won't let you be the main general of the northern city, are you angry!" ”

"The last general will not dare." Although Zhuo Yidao said this, he was still a little angry in his heart.

"You!" Guo Qi smiled and said: "You come with me, this king has something to hand over to you, and this matter is related to the life and death of all the soldiers and civilians in Yongzhou." ”
