260. Decision
In the room, Liang Lie's eyes swept over everyone, thinking in his heart. The three of them obviously didn't want to fight, and only Lu Ao was the one who insisted on fighting, Ding Xionghui was inclined to fight, Han Hongzhou never said a word, Jin Jianchang may not have seen the so-called monster today, and he didn't say anything, in other words, if he really let him see the monster, it would be a battle or a surrender. Even Nangong Jin didn't say anything. The most important thing is the soldiers below, if this battle continues, I am afraid that there will be a mutiny inside.
Peace talks? If the main battle is sent to talk, it will definitely not be able to negotiate and continue to fight; If the Lord and the Lords send it, it is no different from surrendering. So, in fact, what we have to decide now is still the previous question - whether to fight or fall? There is no 'peace talks' option at all.
Liang Lie's heart floated through the scene of the headless man running wildly. If it falls, you must consider how to write a good fold. Liang Lie ignored everyone and recalled his network in Beijing. If you only want to be demoted and hired back to the south, it should not be difficult to do.
"Boss." Nangong Jin suddenly spoke, "As far as I know, the Tartar soldiers have always been formed by the soldiers of various tribes, so they are not very good at cooperating with each other. The situation in the past few days, as you can see, should be that a small number of troops are attacking the city, and most of them have never sent troops. ”
"Second son, what do you mean by this?" Chen Baishui was extremely impatient.
"There are so many soldiers in most of the army, and the siege of the city has been besieging the city for so many days, what do you rely on to eat?" Nangong Jin asked.
Chen Baishui sneered, "I've said this many times, second son." ”
"So, I feel that General Lu is right. This time they could have broken the city and suddenly retreated, as you can see, there should be no troops to send. Nangong Jin ignored him and continued.
Chen Baishui looked at Nangong Jin with contempt, "Where did you find that they have no soldiers to send?" Okay, even if people don't have troops to send, what about those monsters? Even if they are only dozens of monsters, the second son, these dozens of monsters can't be killed at all! With these dozens of monsters, you can slaughter the city! ”
Nangong Jin continued to ignore him, Gu Zi analyzed, "They didn't rob Tianchengwei, they will definitely rob the surrounding guards." A small army continued to attack the city, and most of the army went out in search of food. If this is the case, there will be no rescue for us, but it also means that the besieging force is not enough. ”
Chen Baishui laughed, "The second prince is the same as General Lu, and he wants to attack at night?" Let's not say that the coach is gone, you say, how to solve the monster? "It's like listening to a joke.
"Those monsters ......." Nangong Jin thought for a while and said, "Those monsters won't live long, they will die by themselves." ”
"Second son, you are doing everything! To make a name for yourself? Hmph, you're burying Tianchengwei! Chen Baishui was righteous.
Liang Lie waved his hand, "No need to say any more." I'll fix the book in a while, General Chen, you send someone to the main Tatar camp. ”
Lu Ao shouted: "No! Manager! Never fall! ”
This decision made Ding Xionghui and Jin Jianchang stunned. Ding Xionghui said: "Boss, do you want to take another look?" If what the second son said is true, then we will not fall. ”
"Isn't it bound to fall?!" Chen Baishui looked at Ding Xionghui unhappily, "Even if what the second son said is true, won't the Tartar soldiers come back?" When they come back, aren't they the same as they come? Suddenly turned to everyone, "You ask yourself, is it the people who are important, the society is important, or your face is important?!" ”
Ding Xionghui was speechless for a while, while Jin Jianchang lowered his head, as if accepting the decision.
Lu Ao stood up excitedly, "It's because of the importance of the community that we can't descend!" ”
Chen Baishui officially stood up and saluted, "Boss, the last general ......." ”
"Wait!" Nangong Jin shouted loudly, "Boss, there is a top-secret military intelligence report below!" ”
Liang Lie looked at him a little unhappily, "Say." ”
"Boss, since it's top secret, I'm asking for a secret report."
Liang Lie looked at him word by word and said, "Do you know the meaning of top secret?" ”
"I know it below." Nangong Jin looked at Liang Lie and said word by word.
Liang Lie nodded coldly, "Okay, if what you say can't be a top secret, military law will deal with it!" ”
Lu Ao blocked him, "Nangong, good intentions, you don't have to be like this." ”
Nangong Jin smiled, "General Lu, it's not for you. Boss, please talk to the secret room. ”
Ding Xionghui couldn't help but hold him and whispered, "Forget it, it can't change anything." ”
"I know what I'm doing." Nangong Jin nodded to Ding Xionghui.
Liang Lie stared at him coldly, got up after a while, and ordered: "Everyone should keep their duties and strictly guard against night attacks." Walking past him, "Come with me." ”
At the door, Feng Yue was standing, and he didn't know how long he had arrived, when he saw Liang Lie coming out, he stepped forward, "Boss, the last general is willing to go to the Tatar military camp for peace talks." He looked at Nangong Jin again, "The second son can speak Tatar, please ask the boss to approve the last general to take him as an interpreter." ”
Liang Lie waved his hand, "I'll talk about it later." ”
Feng Yue saw Liang Lie walk away and gave Nangong Jin an interrogative look. Nangong Jin shook his head and smiled without answering, and quickly followed Liang Lie.
This is a stone chamber under the corner of the city wall, which was originally where the ordnance was stored, but it is now empty. Liang Lie entered, lit the oil lamp, and took the lamp into the inner compartment. Placing the lamp on the stone platform of the compartment, he turned back and said, "Say it." ”
Nangong Jin looked at him and said slowly: "If you guessed correctly, today's monster should be a medicine man made by Zhao Yingfeng, the young master of the White Lotus Sect." His purpose was to create a group of people who did not know cold and hunger, so as to cope with the situation of getting colder and colder and less food in the north. It's just that it is impossible for Zhao Quan and Altan Khan to give money to support him for this purpose. Therefore, in the eyes of Altan Khan and Zhao Quan, his research is for the sake of the 'undead army'. For Zhao Quan, with such an army, it was the Ming Dynasty that was dealing with it, but for Altan Khan, it was not against the Ming Dynasty, but against Warat further north. But in the past seven or eight years, countless people have died, but they have never succeeded. Before that, the medicine man he developed had not lived for a month, and he was completely unconscious, but he was just a living corpse. ”
Liang Lie remained silent, just staring at him.
Nangong Jin continued: "These living corpses don't live long. Zhao Quan had already borrowed all the ministries in Tumochuan before, and if there was no result, Altan Khan would not have been able to have such patience. But for Zhao Yingfeng, he needs more living people to experiment. He would not use the cultists of the White Lotus Holy City, such a reduction would weaken Zhao Quan's influence in Tumochuan, and if Altan Khan would no longer give people ....... Tiancheng guards all the people and defenders, enough for him to use for a while. ”
"How do you know?" Liang Lie didn't believe it at all.
"Last year, I burned a hole in the belly of Daqingshan Mountain to burn the corpse of a failed test."
Liang Lie suddenly laughed and applauded, "A good story made up by the second son." ”
"Why don't you ask me who I am?" Nangong Jin also smiled, not minding his attitude, "I know, with Lord Liang's relationship in Beijing, if you think about how to write this letter, even if you surrender, maybe you can get promoted and make a fortune." But there is a premise here, and that is that no one goes to report to the Holy One. ”
The smile on Liang Lie's face was slowly disappearing.
Nangong Jin still smiled, "If Lord Liang really decides to surrender in Kaicheng, and fortunately he is not dead, he can set a room for Lord Liang in the Imperial Prison." ”
Liang Lie's eyes were extremely cold, and he finally asked, "Who are you?" ”
"That's why I said top secret." Nangong Jin was like a trick, and there was an extra one-inch delicate ivory card in his hand.
Liang Lie didn't stretch out his hand to take it, but stared at it for a long time, and said softly: "Jinyi Guard's secret agent." ”
Nangong Jin smiled, "Lord Liang, it is my duty to monitor the hundred officials. ”
Liang Lie looked at him as if he had never seen it before, and suddenly burst out laughing, "I still underestimate you!" Aren't you afraid that I'll say it? ”
"I believe that Lord Liang does not like edicts, so I believe that Lord Liang will keep it a secret." Nangong Jin said very confidently.
Liang Lie kept shaking his head, "Lord Nangong, it's wartime, maybe you will die when you go out?" ”
Nangong Jin spread his hands, "Lord Liang, how do you know that your soldiers don't have this kind of brand?" After all, I entered the city a month ago. ”
Liang Lie took a deep breath, stared at him and asked, "You mean to guard?" ”
"Yang and Wei broke the city, and Zhao Yingfeng didn't catch anyone; Gao Shanwei followed more than a thousand Ming troops, which may not be enough in his eyes, so they were all consumed in our Tianchengwei. Before besieging the city, there were no such medicine men, and the enemy besieged but did not attack, now it seems that he should be waiting for Zhao Yingfeng. If he guessed correctly, he probably arrived yesterday or early this morning, and then went straight to the siege. It's a pity that there are not enough people on hand, and even if they fight, it won't be enough to capture everyone, so they simply retreat and fight again when everyone is together. Nangong Jin gave today's retreat a reason.
It's a pity that these don't matter to Liang Lie at all, and he said coldly: "How many people do you think we have?" ”
Nangong Jin thought for a while, and said, "One guard has five thousand six hundred people." Thirty percent empty salary? Afraid that Liang Lie would not tell the truth because of his identity, he smiled and said: "This is not a secret, even the imperial court has acquiesced." ”
Liang Lie didn't seem to care at all, "I counted as soon as I arrived." Tianchengwei really has 3,100 defenders, and the casualties in these days are about 400. In today's battle, the actual attrition of the two defenders should be around 500. Guard? Even if there are only 5,000 Tatars outside the city, we are dead. ”
"It's not terrible to die, it's terrible to die. When he becomes a living dead, he just wants to die. Nangong Jin said slowly.
Liang Lie sighed, "In the eyes of Lord Nangong, whether I descend or not, Liang Lie is dead?" ”
"If you fall, you will die, if you don't fall, you can still gamble on luck."
"Bad luck?"
"At least I can get a commendation and be praised as a hero by future generations."
"Commendation? Hero? Liang Lie laughed again.
"However, your quartermaster has a big problem, and Chen Baishui has to open the city several times, and it seems that it can't be separated from it." Nangong Jin didn't want to entangle with him and divert the topic.
"I know. Chen Baishui has been here for many years, and he has some prestige, but now is not the time to deal with it. If they don't die, they will be dealt with. Liang Lie finally decided, "Then keep it." However, I will not agree to rush the camp. In this way, there is no possibility of even sticking to it. ”
"How to fight the war should be decided by Lord Liang." After speaking, Nangong Jin solemnly bowed.
