Chapter 139: Out of the wall and red plums, empty-handed borrowed soldiers
If it was in the past, Xie Fenghua might still have the heart to deal with it, but now that the border is tight, she can't afford to delay it so much. Her face tensed up, and she said unhappily: "Miss Ling, I don't have time to play with you now......"
"It's okay," Ling Fei raised his eyebrows and smiled, and his lips spat out a few words, "You don't have time, that's your business." But what I have is time, and we can have fun. ”
"Are you sure?" Xie Fenghua pointed to the surrounding scenery and sneered, "Right in this place? ”
Ling Fei pouted, quite disgusted, "Don't you say it, I haven't found out yet, it's really cold here." That's not as good as that, I'll give you two options. Either you go with me, or I go with you. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xie Fenghua and Du Huaishao were silent.
Jiang Yu had never seen Ling Yuanfei, and his first impression was very bad.
Originally, he waited on his stomach in the ice and snow for a few days and nights, and his good temper had been exhausted. I finally waited for the main backbone to appear, and I couldn't wait to run back to the border now.
Who would have thought that a group of interceptors would run out halfway.
One can imagine how bad his mood was.
Yes, without waiting for Xie Fenghua to speak, he had already said extremely unceremoniously: "Good dogs don't stand in the way." If you are interested, you can get out of the way. Otherwise, don't think that you have an advantage in numbers, and if you really want to make a move, you may not be able to take advantage of it. ”
Du Huaishao couldn't help but cover his face.
This Jiang Yu is really an eyeless one.
Now even Mrs. Yuan didn't respond, and after thinking about it a little, she knew that she had scruples about this group of people.
And before he figured out Ling Yuanfei's identity, he dared to make a big fuss in front of so many people, and it was also thanks to Mrs. Yuan's impulsiveness and recklessness not to pursue him.
If he knew that in the past few days, the so-called "good dog" in his mouth had taken Mrs. Yuan back to captivity, and he might be scared to death.
Out of that friendship in battle robes, he secretly bumped Jiang Yu's arm, and made several glances in a row, before finally letting the other party understand the strangeness of the situation at this time.
And Ling Fei always had a playful smile, his eyes were purring, and his whole face was indescribably vivid.
There was a palpable lightness in her body that had not been shown in the past few days.
It was at this moment that Xie Fenghua suddenly realized that he had never had an in-depth understanding of this person. Her eyes sparkled, and she muttered, "What if I don't choose either?" ”
"Beauty, this is not a good habit." Ling Fei put his hands behind his back and came up slowly, "When you can choose, try to express your position as soon as possible." Otherwise, if you miss this village, you won't have this store. ”
Xie Fenghua tugged at the corners of his mouth and said casually: "Miss, are you warning me?" ”
"Nope. I'm kind enough to remind you. Ling Fei walked up to her, her face was very close, she raised her head slightly, saw the calm self-control in those eyes, and continued, "Of course, if you need to think about it, I can also give you plenty of time. I'm already out of the island, so I'm not in a hurry to go down the mountain at this time. ”
But she was not in a hurry, but Xie Fenghua couldn't afford to waste this time. Facing her unrelentingness, her tone was a little colder, and she said coldly: "In this case, the eldest lady will leave with me." ”
"Don't ......," Du Huaishao and Jiang Yu suddenly said in unison.
And Ling Fei seemed to have guessed her decision a long time ago, although she was surprised on her face, she didn't see any waves in her eyes. The next moment, she had skillfully grabbed Xie Fenghua's arm and said with a smile: "I knew that you would definitely be reluctant to me." If I had known, I wouldn't have brought so many people out. ”
"Miss, I'm too unconfident in myself." Xie Fenghua lowered his eyes slightly, his expression full of unclear meaning.
Ling Fei pursed her mouth, without the slightest serious and cold appearance that a commander should have, and at this moment, she was by her side, but there was a sense of a little bird.
"If you want to blame, you can only blame you for being too ruthless." Ling Fei seemed to think of something, and his whole face instantly became depressed and gray, "I knew that I couldn't let you go, but he didn't say a word to me when he left." You say, what do you think of me? ”
She was already delicate and cute, and her eyebrows were drooping at the moment, like a frosted eggplant. Rao is an iron man such as Jiang Yu and Du Huaishao, who was also intimidated by such weakness and grievances, and couldn't wait to teach that negative person a lesson for her.
And when they thought of the identity of the negative person, they immediately shrank their heads, and could only stare secretly at the figure in front of them with a straight back.
Xie Fenghua didn't realize this, and quietly broke the hand that ordered Kite Fei, and said with a smile: "Since you have decided to go together, then things will be easy to do." The eldest lady must also know the way down the mountain, which happened to save us a lot of time. ”
"With me by your side, you will be content." Ling Fei glanced at her, then turned around and led the people down the mountain.
It wasn't until she walked a long distance that Xie Fenghua sighed softly and turned around, and before she could explain, the two of them had already scrambled to jump up.
"Young lady, you actually have a leg with a woman!"
"Young lady, if you do this, are you worthy of the Marquis of Dingyuan, who is waiting for you in Tianjing?"
"Young lady, most of the red plums that come out of the wall will be broken, you must think twice......"
“……”
The two of you didn't give her a chance to speak.
Listening to these more and more outrageous words, Xie Fenghua's face had turned black to the bottom of the pot, and he said sharply: "Are you finished?" Otherwise, you will stay here and continue to talk for three days and three nights? ”
Du Huaishao and Jiang Yu shut up in unison, as quiet as quails.
Just kidding, they are just trying to talk quickly, and if they are lucky, they may be able to dig up some hidden things that are earth-shattering. But that doesn't mean they're willing to stay in a place where birds don't.
Xie Fenghua had a trace of helplessness in his eyes, and shouted in a bad tone: "Why don't you hurry up and keep up?" Do you want me to drive you with a whip before you move forward? ”
"No......" Du Huaishao put away the indecent look on his face, glanced in the direction where Ling Yuanfei left, and said thoughtfully, "Young lady, do we really want Miss Ling to follow?" ”
"Or else? Are you going to go back to the island with her? Xie Fenghua couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
These two people, aren't they really confused?
Since Ling Fei has brought so many subordinates, it means that it is imperative. She knew that she would not follow her back to the island, so she gave another choice - if you don't follow me, I will pester you!
This is really overbearing!
But Xie Fenghua knew that time was pressing, so naturally he didn't have time to entangle with her in a roundabout way, and the best way was to allow her to go with her.
As for the purpose of Ling Fei must follow, it is still impossible to know. But as a person who may be used by her, Xie Fenghua will not be polite. If she doesn't peel off a layer of skin before Ling Fei reveals her true purpose, she won't be Xie!
At this moment, Du Huaishao had already figured out the key, and his sword eyebrows immediately drooped, and he still didn't give up: "Young lady, is there no other way?" This made the eldest lady suddenly come to block us, and it was hard not to guess her purpose. ”
"Even if there is a purpose, it has to be done." Xie Fenghua said undoubtedly, "The subordinates she brought, you must have seen clearly, they are not inferior to our thousand elite soldiers. If you really want to make a big move, no one will necessarily suffer! ”
In a word, the luck psychology of the two will be driven away.
Jiang Yu's eyes were rolling slightly, and suddenly, his eyes were shining, and he said to Xie Fenghua: "Young lady, I see that woman has a good impression of you." Or do you sacrifice your beauty and stumble these people with your own body? ”
Xie Fenghua kicked over, "What the hell is the idea?" Hurry down the mountain! ”
Jiang Yu immediately hugged his head with a smile and ran down.
On the mountain road in winter, the snow is all over the place, and the feet on it, deep and shallow, teach people to be restless for no reason.
Xie Fenghua raised his eyes to look, but found that Ling Yuanfei had already led people out of a short distance. At this moment, she happened to look back, far away from her gaze, which made her have a strange illusion.
Thinking of Jiang Yu's nonsense words, a wry smile overflowed from the corner of her lips.
She wanted to use beauty to achieve her goal, but after the confrontation just now, she knew that Ling Yuanfei was not a simple character. In fact, leaving the courtyard on the island, she can no longer regard her as a person who has no serious liking for women.
I only hope that there will be no uncontrollable accidents in the next relationship.
……
At the same time, outside the city.
Tang Mengqian was on his horse, surrounded by a group of lieutenant generals, staring intently at the city gate in front of him.
- It seems that as soon as the army is united, this gate will be breached.
"Shizi, are we going to attack the city?" A man with a scar asked.
They quietly lurked under the city from Yunzhou, just to catch the people in the city off guard. The thought of the great feat he was about to accomplish made the scar man so excited that he immediately took his sword in his hand and split the gate in half.
Unexpectedly, Tang Mengqian suddenly shook his head and said thoughtfully: "This city can't be attacked casually. ”
"Why?" The man with the scar was puzzled, "There aren't many people in this city anymore, if you don't take advantage of this time to attack it, when will you wait?" ”
Tang Mengqian glanced at him, and said in a cold tone: "Don't forget, Lincheng is not only blocked by us, but also the people of the Northern Underworld are staring at him. Once there is any wind and grass, this city is not complete. If we are taken advantage of by the people of the Northern Underworld, it is very likely that we have made wedding clothes for others. ”
The scarred man pondered for a moment, but said, "Is there any other good way for the prince?" ”
"Naturally, there is." Tang Mengqian grabbed the reins in his hand and suddenly asked, "Didn't you find out that the person from the Xie family was not in Lincheng?" ”
The man with the scar hurriedly replied, "That's true." Shizi, are we going to spread the news? Xie Er, as the head of the first army, did not sit in the military tent in the middle of the army, if it was known by the group of pedantic old men in Tianjing, those charges would not escape. ”
"I'll do that later." Tang Mengqian's breath was like frost, and he said unclearly, "If what I expected is not bad, it should be the man named Dou Changke who is sitting in Lincheng." Without waiting for reinforcements from the imperial court, even if this person retreats, he can retreat to Lincheng, and he has some ability. ”
After a pause, he continued: "You go to the city gate to deliver a letter, and say that this prince has come to support and defend against foreign enemies together with the soldiers in the city. ”
"Shizi!" The man with the scar suddenly exclaimed in disbelief, "Aren't we going to attack the city?" Why did it become a defender? This is the perfect time to siege the city, so don't miss the other......"
He wanted to say something, but when he saw Tang Mengqian glance at him coldly, those unspoken words suddenly fell back into his stomach.
Seeing this, Tang Mengqian lightly added, "Before Lincheng is completely taken into the bag, this prince must ensure that there is no snooping on the Northern Underworld. Otherwise, once Dou Changke's forces are dispersed and the enemy army in the North Swarms in, what is the point of coming to this city? Do you understand this? ”
The man with the scar was dripping in a cold sweat and almost made a big mistake.
And at this moment, when he heard Tang Mengqian's plan, he was even more ashamed, and hurriedly responded: "Back to the world, the last general understands." Then the last general went and called for the gates of the city. ”
With that, he shook the reins and staggered past him.
Tang Mengqian looked up at the guarded face on the city tower, and his eyes gradually became darker.
In fact, the reason why he made people pretend to support was not simply to prevent the Northern Underworld from taking advantage of the fire to rob. The more important reason lies in the secrecy of this move. Heading north from Yunzhou, he tried his best to hide his purpose and whereabouts. Therefore, he didn't think that Dou Changke, who was at the forefront of the scene, would know what he was doing.
I don't know, so I can use it to my heart's content.
At that time, he would only suggest that Dou Changke lead the most elite soldiers into battle to kill the enemy, until those people and the enemy army in the Northern Hell were almost exhausted, which was the best time for him to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
With the least damage, the maximum profit, this is his ultimate goal.
Thinking so, he asked the people around him, "What movement is coming from the mountain?" ”
After the scarred man left, he was left by a staff member in the Beiheng Palace, with a sharp beak and a half-white beard, who was slowly saying at this moment, "Yu Shizi, there has been no news so far. However, the subordinates thought that no news was the best news. At least, there shouldn't be any surprises until we take Lincheng completely. ”
"Don't be careless." Tang Mengqian thought for a moment before he said, "Once that Xie Er returns to the army, it will be like a dragon entering the sea, and it must not be underestimated." ”
The staff stroked his beard and hesitated, "What does the prince mean?" ”
"If you give the order, you must stumble on Xie Er's footsteps. Before Lincheng was completely taken into possession, this prince didn't want to see that unsightly woman. Tang Mengqian said coldly.
The staff hurriedly went down to make arrangements.
The army spread like a tide, and quickly closed again, Tang Mengqian thought of the unscrupulous woman, and a sense of irritability suddenly rose in his heart. Fortunately, the scar man had already done his job, and he could only temporarily suppress those complicated thoughts and lead an army of 20,000 to swagger in through the West City Gate.
At this time, Dou Chang Ke Gang led people and repelled another wave of attacks from the Northern Underworld. Before he had time to check the battle situation, he wore blood-stained armor and went to greet Tang Mengqian.
When he saw the 20,000 soldiers and horses behind Tang Mengqian, a long-lost smile appeared on his face, "Tang Shizi, you really came too timely. With these reinforcements, it was easy to repel the bunnies in the North Underworld. ”
A humble smile appeared on Tang Mengqian's face, and he said, "Brother Dou, you are really polite. Who doesn't know that you can fight well, and the soldiers under your command are even more than a hundred, even if there is no one I brought, it is not a problem to repel the enemy army in the northern underworld. ”
Dou Changke waved his hand again and again, his attitude was more humble than him, "As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. In the end, it still depends on the people brought by Tang Shizi. Tang Shizi, why don't we discuss it first, how to distribute these people? ”
After speaking, he glanced at the soldiers, and his eyes were frighteningly bright.
Tang Mengqian's heart tightened, and he always felt that Dou Changke's appearance was extremely terrifying. This time he entered the city, he was ready to stand by and watch, but who would have thought that Dou Changke would target these people as soon as he came.
This does not bode well.
He thought for a moment before he said, "Since Brother Dou said so, there is naturally no excuse. Since I have come here, it is to defend the city. For this point, it is also worth our long-term consideration. I just don't know, what's going on in the war ahead? ”
Dou Changke hurriedly said: "Don't worry, that group of rabbit cubs in the North Darkness are very empty, and they have been beaten away by me." But there are many people on the other side, and they come to sneak attack from time to time, so if we want to win this battle, I'm afraid it's not so easy. In view of the inferiority of the Northern Underworld people who are accustomed to sneak attacks, Tang Shizi doesn't know if he can borrow me 5,000 men and horses and let me take them to the city gate to guard them firmly? ”
Tang Mengqian was about to refuse, but he continued: "Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of your jokes, this time my soldiers are dead and wounded, and there are not many people who can really go up and kill the enemy." If Tang Shizi can allocate a few thousand elites, it would be great! ”
After that, he praised Tang Mengqian again. That flattering appearance couldn't wait to praise Tang Mengqian to the sky, and also blocked Tang Mengqian's refusal in his throat.
What else can you say in the face of praise from someone who almost didn't think you were a father?
Of course, he will meet all his needs!
So, Tang Mengqian finally nodded in the boast of the sky, and personally ordered five thousand elites and gave them to Dou Changke on the spot.
Dou Changke was immediately grateful, and grabbed his hand, "Tang Shizi, you are really a good person!" What a pillar of the Liang Dynasty! With you, Lincheng is really saved! ”
"It's over. It's just my job. The corners of Tang Mengqian's mouth twitched, although his heart was extremely painful, he said quietly, "Brother Dou, let's hurry up and prepare......
"Then Tang Shizi ......" Dou Changke hesitated a little, unexpectedly, Tang Mengqian was about to calm down the fluctuations in his heart, and when he heard the words, he said, "I'll take someone down to settle down first." If there's anything you need my help with, you can have someone come to me at the castle guard's mansion. ”
"Okay. Rest well. If there are not enough soldiers, I will go to you. Dou Changke said in a high-spirited manner.
Tang Mengqian stumbled under his feet and almost twisted his foot. He didn't look back, paused, and gritted his teeth in hatred.
It wasn't until those people disappeared at the end of the long street that Dou Changke put away the smile on his face, and there was no longer the appearance of laughing just now.
His entourage asked, "Childe, why did you let these people into the city knowing that they had bad intentions?" ”
"Don't put it in the city? And how? Dou Changke said coldly, "Tang Mengqian thinks that I don't know his purpose, so I'll pretend not to know." He wants to use me to repel the Northern Underworld, why don't I want to use the people in his hands to defend this city? ”
In fact, when he received the urgent report from Tianjing that day, he had already had the intention of dying to live and die with the city. Unexpectedly, Tang Mengqian actually brought people here in person and was willing to enter the city.
With a little thought, he could guess what Tang Mengqian's idea was. But he is more willing to seek skin with the tiger than to be attacked by both sides, not to mention, this is still a profitable tiger.
So, there was the "borrowed soldier" just now.
He knew that Tang Mengqian was reluctant, but the more reluctant he was, the more he had to peel off a layer of skin. Otherwise, how could the only person he had left in his hands resist the enemy army in the North that was eyeing him?
Thinking of this, he said to his entourage: "Wait a minute, you go and separate the soldiers who fought with us from Tang Mengqian's people, and you must not let them have any communication." Before repelling the Northern Underworld, we can't let Tang Mengqian know that we have insight into his plans. ”
Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.
His entourage also knew the seriousness of the matter, and hurried down to make arrangements without saying a word.
The 5,000 men and horses that were temporarily borrowed were personally arranged by Dou Changke on the city tower to deal with the unexpected harassment and sneak attack of the enemy army in the north. He stood on the castle tower, looking at the neat silver armor and the cold spear, and the big stone in his heart finally slowly fell back into his stomach.
Although it is a borrowed soldier, there are still people available.
Now, you should be able to hold out until that person comes back, right?
As for Tang Mengqian, then I'm sorry! Today, although this is the first time, it will not be the last!
After that, the front line was attacked several times.
However, fortunately, the people brought by Tang Mengqian were exceptionally strong, and they did not endure many days of continuous harassment, and under the high morale, they actually fought several beautiful battles.
Although there are also casualties, these people are already good, and they can basically use one as ten. Moreover, compared to the Northern Underworld, this casualty is negligible.
Dou Changke's mood finally relaxed, and he estimated that the enemy would not attack again in a short time, so he also put his mind at ease, and rode his horse to the city guard.
He wants to thank Tang Mengqian well!
At this time, Tang Mengqian listened to the report of his subordinates, and almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, "That Dou Changke, really put more than 5,000 people on the city tower?" ”
"That's true." The man with the scar was extremely depressed, "Shizi, should we talk to him?" ”
Those people are the elite of the army!
Tang Mengqian suddenly glared at him, "What did you say?" If a person has borrowed it, can he still get it back? ”
