Chapter 137: The Depth of Love
The sky gradually entered dusk, and the young man drove the donkey cart and slowly approached the land of Baizhou.
Hearing of Su Yu's arrival, the scholar looked at Su Yu and was happy and worried, a few days ago I heard Zeng Cong's letter recounting, saying that the night of the night attack on Yongjiang, she was trapped in the mountain, fortunately nothing went wrong, otherwise, the scholar will inevitably blame himself and regret it.
Su Yu also took a good look at the scholar, and saw that his already thin body was getting thinner and thinner, with a cotton coat on both shoulders, as if standing in one breath, he used all his strength, and his face and lips were pale as if he was seriously ill, and he was already in the middle of a terminal.
Seeing the scholar, Su Yu felt that although there had been no war in the near future, and the scholar had not encountered any accidents, the situation of the scholar in front of him was a little more than Su Yu imagined.
Now that the weather has warmed up, there are still several braziers in the scholar's tent to keep warm, Su Yu looked, sometimes the wind blows into the tent, and the scholar is still frozen and can't help shivering.
When he saw her, the scholar showed a rare joy on his face, and said a few words of greeting, and the scholar was both reproachful and happy, that is, looking forward to Su Yu coming to help him, and hoping that she would not come and stay away from this place.
Su Yu threatened, whether it was Baizhou or Zonghe, no one in the camp was as familiar as her, so Su Yu patted her chest and warned the scholars, but she didn't want to spoil her opportunity to be a heroine.
The scholar was helpless, he understood Su Yu's temper, and he started beating when he was a child, but whenever she decided something, the eight donkeys couldn't pull it back, so he just pretended to be serious and said to Su Yu: "Then you just stay in the camp, you are all married, don't go out to fight and kill." ”
Su Yu pretended to hesitate for a moment, made a retreat, and responded to the scholar's hello.
After experiencing a big battle in Tiger Valley before, Zongyu and Scholar, the losses of both sides were extremely heavy, and then they were evenly matched, and they didn't dare to attack rashly, they only watched each other, and by the way, they recuperated from the army whose vitality was greatly damaged.
Originally, the grain and grass here of the scholar could not last long, but when the Chinese New Year was approaching, Zeng Cong sent his subordinate Xu Cheng to support, and as soon as Xu Cheng arrived, the scholar's team and military grain and grass instantly expanded a lot.
At that time, if the sect in Baizhou City did not have any good countermeasures, the scholar and Xu Cheng attacked Baizhou together, and if they wanted to take Baizhou City, it was also a matter of winning the game.
But that sect therapy can be called a general, and it depends not only on his own courage and good fighting, but also on his resourcefulness and ability, he is also a good hand, if not, he would not have let Su Yu waste his efforts back then, and lost a few cities in a row to induce him to succumb. Now the shortcomings of the original pride and arrogance of the sect therapy have been slowly smoothed out by Su Yu's toss at the beginning, so today's sect therapy is much stronger than the sect therapy that was captured by Su Yu back then.
The spies came to report, saying that it was the sect therapy that made his subordinates turn into ordinary people, divided into several roads, and went to Xichuan to ask for help, since then, there will be soldiers and soldiers who have turned into ordinary people, from all over the country into Baizhou City, at first, the scholars did not care much, thinking that it was some ordinary traders, but after two days, I felt that something was wrong.
The scholars also sent people to disguise themselves as ordinary people to try to enter the city, but the people who were checked were too strict, and the unidentified people were resolutely unable to enter the city, and those who were in groups of people only needed to be led by one person, and those who were guarding the city could enter the city smoothly, and few of the people who went in came out again.
Da Kui once led people, caught a few such people on the road, after investigation, found that those people's clothes, are wearing the uniform underwear of the army, when fighting, those people are also well-trained, at a glance is a battle-hardened general. In this way, it shows that the team of sect doctors in Baizhou City is quietly growing, and the reason for not keeping quiet may be to lure scholars to attack the city, so as to defeat the army of Bingzhou with a surprise strategy.
In the past few days, Xu Cheng and Da Kui have also led a team of soldiers and horses to try, and the people who come out to meet the battle or watch the battle in the city have always been Zonghe, but with Su Yu's understanding of Zonghe, whether it is the combat style or the law of arranging troops, they are a little different from him, and I always feel a kind of indescribable familiarity, but when I think about it, it seems to be strange.
On the scholar's side, if you talk about leading troops, Da Kui is naturally a good hand, personal ability, and one of the thousands of troops is difficult to beat, but the remaining generals under his command are many excellent, like Da Kui and Zongyu are not so brilliant, and Xu Cheng, who has been following Zeng Cong's side, if he fights alone, he is a middle master, but if he leads troops to fight, he always has to lose Da Kui, the so-called thousands of troops are rare, and one will be difficult to find, Su Yu feels that if the scholar has a talent like Xiao Jiajun, it will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort, But at present, the state and Xichuan are considered to be the civil strife of the Great Liang, and what the Xiao family army guards is always the stability of the entire Great Liang border.
Zongzhi is an upright person, according to Su Yu's understanding of Zongyu, he betrayed Wei Tong for the first time and followed Tang Zhe, firstly, Wei Tong was already misbehaving, and secondly, Tang Zhe had the reputation of the virtuous king Yanli to rely on, and now Tang Zhe is in charge of Xichuan, except for the matter of clothes, Tang Zhe did not do anything wrong with the people of Xichuan, so like last time to persuade Zongyu to surrender, Su Yu always couldn't weigh the right bargaining chips, so winning without a fight is almost impossible, and now in Baizhou City, Su Yu didn't dare to guarantee that in addition to Zonghe, there would be any big people in it.
Unexpectedly, the mountains and rivers came far here, and in the face of the current situation, Su Yu also felt very tricky, in addition to small-scale temptation, he was also a little overwhelmed.
After discussing with the scholar for a long time, the scholar still felt that he could try to persuade him to surrender for two reasons.
First, whether it is money, status, or affection, if the healing is intentional, he will be lowered
, Bai Zhou has almost become a scholar's bag.
Second, if this plan fails, he will find a way to let people spread the rumors of Zongyu's collaboration with the enemy in the city, and when the time comes, it will arouse the suspicion of others, and Su Yu's continuous letters will become a sharp blade, cutting the trust between Zongyu and Xichuan and others. If Zongyu loses the trust of the superiors, then the military power of Baizhou City will be in the hands of others, and it will be much easier to attack Baizhou with all his strength when the time comes.
The scholar's plan is not impossible, but Su Yu feels that this method is okay for others, and for the old people who have known each other for a long time, he is always a little unbearable to start, but after Su Yu listened to the scholar's continuous cough, he couldn't help but feel himself with a begging gaze when he looked at her, and his heart was extremely soft.
In the final analysis, whether it succeeds or not, it is also good for her to write a letter to explore the tone of Zonghe.
Laying the paper and grinding, and writing the words freely, Su Yu folded the letter and handed it to the young general who delivered the letter.
When the young general who delivered the letter came to the camp to pick up the letter, Su Yu was stunned for a moment, feeling that this world was really not big, and she went around and around, and met the young man who was trapped on the mountain with her before.
The young man saw that it was Su Yu, and he was a little embarrassed, his face was flushed, and he kept pulling the corners of his clothes, eager to plunge his head into the ground, and then he felt crisp.
Su Yu sealed the envelope with red wax, handed it to the young general, and said, "This time the letter is more reliable, don't take a detour like last time." ”
Saying this, the young man's face turned even redder, and he nodded hurriedly and said, "No, not again." ”
Su Yu nodded, and did not blame the young man for his private diversion, but was grateful in his heart for the moment of life and death, this young man did not abandon her, but chose to fight with life and death.
Thankfully, in the end, both of them were fine.
The letter was sent out, Su Yu had to say that the young general was also quite neat, and after a night's work, he had already handed over the reply letter to Su Yu with Zongyu.
Su Yu opened the letter and looked at it, and as she expected, Zongyu refused simply, as if even if he gave gold and silver, he would never betray Xichuan.
This was in Su Yu's expectation, but also in the scholar's disappointment, a little day later, the scholar begged again, Su Yu wrote another letter to Zongyu.
This time, Su Yu hesitated for a long time before lifting the pen, because if the first letter was full of Akagi who wanted to persuade him, then writing this second letter would already have a slight sense of conspiracy, Su Yu felt that his biggest weakness was not that he had a benevolent bodhisattva heart, but that he was too familiar with it, and he cherished everyone around him as friends and relatives.
When she was caught by Yang Zhu in Yongjiang and planned to do the medicine, Zongyu also asked Tang Zhe for a lot of favors, although the final ending could not be changed, but Zongyu's heart, Su Yu remembered it, and now if you don't know the other intentions of the scholar, it's okay, if you know, it will be even more difficult to start.
Thinking of the scholar's urgency and resoluteness, and some begging eyes, Su Yu's heart hurts, in fact, the previous scholar was not like this, the scholar is a righteous gentleman, although he knows that the soldiers are not tired of cheating, but he is extremely unwilling to use conspiracies and tricks to win over others, now the scholar is like this, Su Yu feels it, maybe he feels that his body can't last long, he wants to avenge his clothes as soon as possible, even if his reputation is discredited and the means are exhausted.
The death of Yiyi brought a greater blow to the scholars than to any of them.
Because love is deep, hate is earnest.
In the end, Su Yu still wrote the second letter, and the second letter was sent, as expected, the response was still the rejection of Zongyu, but this time the rejection was very concise, I don't know if I was too lazy to respond, or I had nothing to say.
While the scholar's rumors had not yet spread, Su Yu was a little shaken again, but when a cold rain continued in the spring, the scholar stepped on the raindrops in front of her tent, and never said anything, just quietly knelt down towards her.
Su Yu's heart twitched uncalmly, looking at the scholar's increasingly weak body, Su Yu pulled the scholar back to the study and asked someone to send the third letter.
