Chapter 55: Decisive Battle 1 and 3

Shen Chongming made a decision, which nine cows couldn't pull back. Chen Xiao, who had no regrets, responded to this matter helplessly, and didn't care about resting, so he directly approached Sikong Wang to discuss the matter.

"Brother Chen, you're too worried about this matter. You must know that the mansion outside the city is Lord Shen's own property, and it was built by the Erdan brothers themselves, no matter how many sentry posts the rebels set up again, we will enter and exit it through the secret passage It is a no-man's land. Sikong Wang's indifferent expression greatly surprised Chen Xiao's expectations.

After being stunned for a long time, Chen Xiao still asked with some disbelief: "So, you have no objection to your lordship going out of the city through the secret path this time?" ”

"Of course not." Sikong Wang nodded without thinking about it, and then said with admiration: "I won't tell you Brother Chen, the junior brother never expected that Lord Shen was also a person of temperament, let me ask if today, when his status has reached his level, who would easily take risks for a woman?" ”

Chen Xiao smiled bitterly, "Brother Sikong Xian, you don't know the reason, this Miss Zhao and Lord Shen are inseparable, and the matter between the two of them can't be finished for three days and three nights." ”

Looking at the embarrassed look on Chen Xiao's face, Sikong Wang couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "Please forgive the little brother for being abrupt, can Brother Chen tell me about the matter between Miss Zhao and Lord Shen?" ”

Chen Xiao immediately shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Sikong Xian, this matter is absolutely unacceptable. This is Shen Chongming's secret, and he doesn't dare to show it out with Chen Xiao's two guts.

However, he has a good relationship with Sikong Wang these days, looking at him a little disappointed, he whispered: "If you really want to know something, go to the second brother another day to ask, he also knows some of these things." But let's talk about it, you can't betray me about this. If you provoke Lord Shen to lose his temper, you can't even think about the end. ”

Seeing that what Chen Xiao said was so serious, Sikong Wang couldn't help but feel a little unconvinced. "I said, Brother Chen, it's not like that. Brother Erdan has been making Lord Shen angry all day long, and he hasn't seen anything wrong with him. ”

Chen Xiao shook his head and said mysteriously: "To tell the truth, Brother Sikong Xian, don't like to listen to it. If you talk about the weight in Lord Shen's mind, among the people around him, the weight of Ma Erdan is the heaviest. Don't look at Lord Shen always scolding him all day long, that guy is also muddy and unusual, but the relationship between the two of them is not too much to say that they are brothers. ”

Sikong Wang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. I didn't notice this before, but now after listening to Chen Xiao's words, I think about it carefully, this is really the case.

Although Brother Erdan often makes Shen Chongming angry all day long, and sometimes even teaches him directly in front of many people, but after all these years, the relationship between the two is still like that. Now it's even better, the second brother who has become married lives in Lord Shen's small Guogong Mansion, as if he is already the number two person in the Guogong Mansion. This kind of treatment is not even Lord Shen's brother Xiao Ershao.

Looking at the change in the expression on Sikong Wang's face, Chen Xiao guessed that he was almost pondering, and said with a smile: "So let you ask Brother Erdan, if Lord Shen is really angry after knowing about it, it will be just two kicks for him at most." ”

Sikong Wang smiled: "It's not to cause him trouble, the most curious thing now is what kind of woman this Zhao Ziqian Zhao girl is, who can make Lord Shen willing to risk for her." ”

"Alas, since you don't think it's dangerous, let's take a good look at it, your lord will leave the city tomorrow night, and this time is too hasty." Chen Xiao said with some worry. Since the last time I entered the city through the secret passage, several sections of this secret passage have been tightly blocked by stones, and it took a lot of effort. If you want to dig it up now, I'm afraid it's not a good idea.

Hearing Chen Xiao express his worries, Sikong Wang immediately laughed, "Brother Chen doesn't have to worry, tomorrow you just need to dig some big pits in the tunnel and move the stones that block the secret passage to it." ”

Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with admiration: "Brother Sikong, you are really an expert, hahaha." ”

The rooster crows at dawn and the sun is rising, and the rebel business outside the city, which stretches for more than ten miles, has begun to bury the pot to make rice, looking at the curling smoke, Yu Jiao, who is wearing a steel helmet, can't help but rub his nose.

"Huzi, if you personally go to the Guogong Mansion, you must ask Lord Shen to send two thousand soldiers and horses for the city as backup. Looking at it this way, the rebels' offensive today is probably much stronger than yesterday. ”

Chen Hu's hair is scattered, his eye sockets are deep, his face is greasy and he looks extremely haggard, and his image of being handsome and chic in the past is gone at this moment. In order to prevent the rebels from sneaking up at night and to protect the city, Chen Hu was worthy of his monthly military salary.

Not only did he have to fight hard during the day, but he didn't dare to close his eyes for a moment at night, guarding Nanjing City like a door god. This lasted for a few days, and it would be false to say that he was not tired, and he had always hoped that Shen Chongming could send more soldiers to the city to share some tasks for the brothers.

But at this time, when he heard that Yu Jian asked him to ask Shen Chongming for reinforcements, Chen Hu stood there motionless. "My lord, I'm afraid this is not good. If Lord Shen felt that we couldn't stand the city, he would definitely send reinforcements up, and it would be too embarrassing to take the initiative to ask for it. ”

Yu Jiao's eyes widened, and he reprimanded: "Confused, today's situation is different from yesterday, and I ordered you to ask for reinforcements just in case." You know Lord Shen, the two thousand soldiers and horses he dispatched will definitely not be used by this general until the critical moment. ”

The appearance outside the city is clearly that the rebels tasted the sweetness yesterday and are ready to intensify it. And since they have already found out, how can they leave them with an opportunity to take advantage of?

Seeing that Yu Jiao lost his temper, although Chen Hu was still unwilling, he still took the order to go down to the city. In his heart, he was beating the drum, Master Ma next to Grandpa Guo was not a good stubble, this birdman sarcastic person has the most set of tricks, this time he didn't get any errands in the battle of defending the city, but cheapened himself, this time he was ordered to ask for reinforcements, and he would definitely be made amusement.

Worriedly arrived at the gate of the Guogong Mansion, but the scene in front of him made Chen Hu secretly say that he was lucky, only to see the second brother hurriedly beating the horse out with a dirty face, and he didn't know what he was busy with in a hurry.

"Hehe, hard work." Looking at Chen Hu in front of him, Shen Chongming couldn't help but smile and nodded, it is a good seedling.

"Grandpa, just now my family has observed the movements of the rebel camp and concluded that the rebels' offensive today is stronger than yesterday. The lord was worried that the city would be lost, and the special general came to ask your grandfather for 2,000 reinforcements in case of emergency. Chen Hu lowered his head and said, his red cheeks were really embarrassed to face Shen Chongming.

Shen Chongming nodded and said, "It seems that the rebels have tasted the sweetness, you go back and tell Lord Yu that the official will send five thousand men and horses to act as backup later." But you have to tell Lord Yu that these 5,000 men and horses must not go to the city until the critical moment, otherwise it will be a little bad if the rebels see the flaws. In addition, tell Lord Yu that the Shenji Battalion will also adjust its tactics today, and order him to contact the generals of the Shenji Battalion, and the company will fight together, which will definitely cause the rebels to suffer a lot of losses. ”

Chen Hu immediately nodded, hugged his fists and said, "The young general obeys the order, and then go back and tell my family." After that, he gave a salute and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, before he could turn around, he was stopped by Shen Chongming, and he was shocked in his heart, and he didn't know what was wrong with the Duchy.

"Chen Hu, the battlefield is dangerous, you must be more careful." Shen Chongming admonished, this Chen Hu has won the true legend of Yu Prison, and in time, he will be a promising general.

"The young general has written it down, thank you for your concern." Chen Hu was a little moved, this Lord Shen is really a good boss who is sympathetic, but it's a pity that Lord Ma next to him is not a thing, which ruined Lord Shen's good reputation.

Chen Hu retired, and Shen Chongming was also busy, and some equipment that had been useless for some years was turned out from the bottom of the box by him. Gold silk soft armor is indispensable, and two small fire guns must also be carried, at least if something goes wrong, you can resist one or two.

"Xianggong, what do you want to ......" Seeing Shen Chongming busy making these things, Yan Yumeng couldn't help but ask curiously. Xianggong hasn't touched these things for some years, so why did he take them all out today?

Shen Chongming smiled, pretending to be indifferent and said, "If you have nothing to do, pack up these things and bask in the sun, so as not to get moldy." ”

"This ......" Yan Yumeng was a little confused by his words, will these things be moldy?

"Yumeng, there is something in the yamen tonight, Xianggong is afraid that he will not be able to come back, you should rest early, so you don't have to wait for me." Shen Chongming tried his best to show his usual expression, for fear that the delicate-minded Yan Yumeng would notice that something was wrong.

"Xianggong, I heard that the rebels have a lot of spies lurking in the city, you go in and out, but you must be careful." Yan Yumeng instructed, but she vaguely guessed something in her heart. Last night, Xianggong kept muttering a name in his sleep, and today he will pack these things, just for that name.

Shen Chongming was shocked in his heart, and said with a forced smile: "You can rest assured, Chen Xiao will always be by his side today, and there will be no incident." ”

Looking at Yan Yumeng, who was full of tenderness, and seeing that the children were not nearby, Shen Chongming couldn't help but be a little impulsive, pulled Yan Yumeng in front of him into his arms, and said softly: "Yumeng, wait for the husband to come back." ”

Outside the city.

"Sect Master, Hall Master Zhao asks to see you." The guard outside the door knocked on the door and said, Zhao Wenyi, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, stood up with a spirit, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Hurry up, please." ”

"My son-in-law meets my father-in-law." As soon as he came in, the dusty Serangjun saluted.

"Hurry up, Xiao Se, have you worked hard?" Zhao Wenyi's face was full of relief, and he asked eagerly: "Have you moved the army?" ”

"Father-in-law, rest assured, when the son-in-law left to come back, I had already ordered the Mongol army to launch an attack on all the fortresses in the border pass at the same time, and I believe that it is absolutely impossible for the official army in northern Xinjiang to take care of themselves and send troops south." Serangjun said with a smile, for this matter, he did everything he could.

Zhao Wenyi nodded, but there was no excitement on his face. Today's situation is very different from what was previously expected, and now I have only restrained the officers and troops in northern Xinjiang, which is far from enough for me.

Looking at Zhao Wenyi's expression, Se Langjun suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and asked cautiously: "Father-in-law, is there something wrong with things?" ”
