Chapter 83: Saving People
Wu Ertai was very proud, because he not only captured Shutong, but also increased the morale of the Northern Zhou army, which was a big achievement! Although the emperor didn't say that he was going to attack Guangling, shouldn't he think about these things in advance as a courtier? Thinking of this, Wu Ertai laughed even more rampantly.
He called his men over and asked, "It is said that the woman who captured this woman is the sister of King Guangling?" ”
"My lord, it is said that this woman is not the sister of King Guangling, but King Guangling treats him like a sister, my lord caught this woman this time, it is a heavy blow to the Guangling army, now I want to see how the female marshal of Guangling went to deal with King Guangling, maybe the blame for the woman's head is not safe, my lord, you are really killing three birds with one stone!" Said a soldier-like man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks.
"Haha, I said Yuan Hua, you are really too tactful, and speaking just makes me happy. Yes, my move is indeed killing three birds with one stone, that is, I was rewarded, and it also greatly reduced the morale of the Guangling army, and the most important thing is to be able to restrain this female marshal. Wu Ertai said with a smile.
The entire Northern Zhou military camp was full of laughter, but at this moment, the Guangling military camp was silent and very quiet.
Yuan Hua smiled very happily, and leaned in front of Wu Ertai and said, "My lord, it's been three or four days since you handed over the excerpts for the rescuers, why haven't you seen any movement?" Didn't you receive any news from the imperial court? ”
Wu Ertai stopped laughing, "Not bad! It stands to reason that someone should be sent, but the emperor is busy with affairs, and it is normal to delay a little, and if you delay it at the emperor's place, then it will naturally be delayed for three or four days to come to us. Believe me, the emperor will approve it. ”
"But I always felt like something was going wrong." Yuan Hua said with a solemn face.
"I said that you kid is this fate, but you said these frustrating words when you should be happy, you deserve to be like this all the time, and that master is willing to listen to your frustrating words? This time, you, Yuan Hua, aren't you so sleek? Wu Ertai smiled even more happily.
The Northern Zhou military camp was brightly lit, and laughter could be heard from afar.
Xue Qing gritted her teeth and said, "Miss, I really want to rush in and rescue Miss Shutong, looking at the smug laughter of these people, this is obviously making fun of us!" ”
Shuyu smiled and said: "You have to hold your breath, I believe that he Wu Ertai will not move his sister, because if he doesn't have his sister in his hands, can he still be so chic?" He's using his sister to fend us off, make them happy for a while, and then we'll clean up slowly. ”
"Miss, you can really hold on. What if Miss Shutong is moved? Not to mention how to explain to General Miao at that time, we can't even explain to the prince. Xue Qing still said impatiently.
Shuyu patted Xue Qing on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's okay, I have my own way." ”
Xue Qing pouted and walked to the door of the tent, looking at the Northern Zhou military camp in front of her, eager to break in directly. But Shuyu has already said don't mess around, so what else can she do? She still prefers to believe Shuyu, after all, she has been with her for so many years. The gorge is beautifully lit at night, and looking at the night, Xue Qing has forgotten where she is.
Although Zhao Huanong was apprehensive in his heart, he also understood that Wu Ertai would not cause harm to Shu Tong for a while, but he was still worried about Shu Tong in his heart. Shutong was arrested like this, how should he explain to the prince?
A sense of melancholy lingered in Zhao Huanong's heart, and he couldn't leave for a long time, he firmly believed that Shutong would be fine.
"General Zhao!" Shuyu walked up to Zhao Huanong and sat down, "How is it?" My sister isn't worried, is she? ”
Zhao Huanong smiled and said: "Haha, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm really uncomfortable, and it's really uncomfortable in my heart." ”
"I understand you, it's right to be uncomfortable, it shows that you care about Sister Shutong very much, and it's a blessing for her to have a friend like you." Shuyu said.
"Marshal, don't make fun of a certain general." Zhao Huanong said embarrassedly.
"Brother Zhao, don't be so formal, let's be casual today, there are not so many etiquette. If the prince was present, he would have said the same. Shuyu said.
"Yes! The prince has always been very tolerant of us. Zhao Huanong said.
"Yes! He has always been very fond of the people around him, no matter who it is, but now he can't get up after he falls, what do you say I should do? Shuyu said with tears in her eyes.
Zhao Huanong knew that Shuyu's heart was even more uncomfortable than himself, how could he say such a thing at this time? He didn't know how to persuade Shuyu, "Miss Shuyu, you must hold on, if you are so sad, then I will be even more sad." ”
Shuyu wiped away her tears, "I've suppressed it for too long, and it's much better to cry." Brother Zhao, don't worry, Sister Shutong will be fine, I already have an idea in my heart, and I decided to rescue my sister tonight. ”
As soon as Zhao Huanong heard that he was going to kill Shutong, he hurriedly came to his senses, "Miss, do you really want to save Shutong?" Wouldn't that be a problem? ”
"I'm not sure, but I'm also afraid that my sister will still be in danger if I delay time, so I decided to find someone to rescue my sister." Shuyu said.
"Is the person who is going to be decided?" Zhao Huanong asked.
"The candidate has not yet been decided, but I have already told the military about it, and the military flying pigeon has passed the word that someone will be sent, and now I can only wait for the news." Shuyu said.
The two of them reconfirmed Shu Tong's detention position, hoping that Shu Tong would be rescued safely by then.
Wu Ertai was drinking proudly, when suddenly the spies came to report, "Report!" The Guangling army will send someone to rob this woman tonight. ”
Wu Ertai threw the cup and said, "How can this be reasonable, dare to come and attack, do they think I, Wu Ertai, am so easy to bully?" After saying that, he got up and said to the guards around him, "Keep a tight eye on me, I don't believe that I can rob people." ”
Yuan Hua said: "My lord, I think it's better for us to be cautious, this Guangling army is not a vegetarian, if they are accidentally robbed, then it is not a waste of previous efforts?" ”
Wu Ertai's face was ugly, and he didn't speak, maybe in his heart he was also afraid of the Guangling Army. He walked back and forth slowly, as if Yuan Hua and the others were long gone in his eyes. He pondered for a long time, walking back and forth for a long time, until he accidentally bumped into Yuan Hua before realizing the existence of these people. "It seems that it is not a way to drag on like this, so as not to have too many dreams at night." Wu Ertai suddenly said to Yuan Hua.
Yuan Hua looked at Wu Ertai in surprise, "My lord, what are you talking about?" What nights are long and dreamy? What are you going to do? ”
"Now immediately call for me to fight, and then prepare men and horses for me to kill the Guangling army, I will catch the Guangling people by surprise." Wu Ertai looked very excited, "I, Wu Ertai, am not a vegetarian, I want you to strike preemptively before you have time to save people." ”
"My lord, but I don't have many soldiers and horses, even if it starts, it's not the opponent of the Guangling people!" Yuan Hua said worriedly.
"You don't know, the imperial court is going to send someone, I guess it's going to be today, so the Guangling army is even more caught off guard." Wu Ertai said.
"I see, I'll go and prepare now." Yuan Hua went out after speaking.
Shuyu was about to call someone to go to the Northern Zhou military camp, when she suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves and war drums below, and hurriedly asked the guards, "What's so noisy outside?" ”
"Report to the marshal, the Northern Zhou army is calling for a battle and asking to fight with our army, if the outside insists on refusing to send troops, they will kill Miss Shutong." The guard said.
"What?" Sookok sprang up from her chair. This is a result she never expected, she didn't expect this Wu Ertai to be so cunning that he would use his sister to blackmail herself.
Zhao Huanong ran in panting, "Miss, how is this good?" ”
"Yes! I also heard it just now, I didn't expect this Wu Ertai to be so cunning, it seems that this time I am afraid that there will be less luck. Shuyu said with a solemn face.
"But if we send troops out, I estimate that the losses will be heavy, our soldiers are not enough food and grass, plus they have to eat one meal a day in the past few days, it will be even worse, how to fight with the Northern Zhou army?" Zhao Huanong said.
"It's clearly a foregone conclusion, and escaping is no longer an option. I believe in our soldiers, and I believe that you can stand up. If we don't send troops this time, I estimate that Sister Shutong will definitely be in danger, and this Wu Ertai will definitely take a risk. Shuyu said.
Zhao Huanong lowered his head and was speechless, at this time Zhao Huanong was extremely struggling in his heart, on the one hand, as a general, he didn't want his soldiers to die, on the other hand, as Shutong's friend, how could he bear to let his friend die in front of him? But at this time, Zhao Huanong really didn't know what to do.
"Brother Zhao, I know your feelings, believe me, Sister Shutong will be fine." Shuyu comforted Zhao Huanong, "Someone! Quickly send troops to meet the enemy, I will personally go to meet this Wu Ertai. Shuyu gave the order.
Zhao Huanong wanted to stop Shuyu, but Shuyu had already given an order, so there was no need to say more, it was better to attack it together, so maybe they could rescue Miss Shutong.
"General Zhao, can you still fight?" Shuyu asked.
"Somebody!" Zhao Huanong said.
Shuyu glanced at everyone and said, "Sweep the Northern Zhou people for me today, and return me to Guangling's peace!" ”
"Long live Guangling! Long live Guangling! The shouts of the soldiers echoed in the sky.
Shuyu led the people and horses to set off towards the Northern Zhou camp, with a fierce momentum, and it seemed that they were going to break the cauldron and take Wu Ertai in one fell swoop.
