289. Call for help

The sun was shining and the sky was cloudless, but the good weather did not bring a good mood.

Outside the General Army's Mansion, there seemed to be no one in the entire Tianchengwei, but from time to time I saw people sitting paralyzed beside the ruins, just sitting without sound or tears, waiting for death in the position of their original home.

Yao Fangyu wanted to do something, but she squatted down, only to feel that any language was so pale. What to do? What else can I do?

This acropolis is even more lifeless than it was when it was besieged.

After searching almost everywhere, Yao Fangyu found Feng Yue sitting against the wall with a haggard face on the steps of the urn city at the south gate, and there was no one around.

"General Feng."

Feng Yue looked up and saw that it was Yao Fangyu, he was not too surprised, straightened up slightly, and smiled hard and said, "It's Miss Yao." I asked Dr. Li before, and he also said that the girl's injury was recovering well. Looking at it now, it's true. ”

Yao Fangyu nodded lightly, "This time, thank you General Feng for taking care of me." ”

Feng Yue sighed slightly, shook his head with a wry smile, "I didn't do anything." Stopped, looked into the distance, and whispered: "I went to see the coach in the morning, and Dr. Li and Mr. Gao are trying to figure out a way." ”

After a while, Yao Fangyu wanted to say something, but saw Feng Yue laughing, with tears in his eyes, and muttered, "I promised him that I would do ......." ”

"I don't know what you promised him, but he is the second young master of Nangong, and there are many things that you don't need to do at all." Yao Fangyu looked at Feng Yue and faintly felt that what he revealed was 'giving up'.

"Yes, Nangong ......." Suddenly, Feng Yue shed a tear, worried that Yao Fangyu would see it and hurriedly wipe it off.

Yao Fangyu was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he turned to look into the distance, and continued his previous words when he didn't find anything, "Their family has always had power in the north. Now, he is trapped in Tianchengwei, and the family will not be unaware. Even if there was no way to do it before because it was a Tatar siege, now the situation is different. If the Nangong clan knew that he was in critical condition now, they would definitely come up with a way to save him! ”

Feng Yue kept shaking his head and said in frustration: "Plague, it is said outside that there is a plague in the city." Manager...... Now it's like this again, what can be done? ”

The two were silent. Feng Yue may be right, but he can't give up like this!

Yao Fangyu lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and analyzed: "Actually, our biggest problem at the moment is not the lockdown and the plague. Rather, there were no supplies in the city, from the beginning of the siege to the present. If there is medicine and food, not only Ah Jin's condition will be better, but the city will also be better. Then he said affirmatively: "If these things are not given elsewhere, the Nangong clan should find a way." Also, I don't know how the imperial court is going to confirm the plague, but we can't wait. ”

Feng Yue looked at her amusedly, and replied indifferently, "Plague! They won't listen to us whatever we say. I'm afraid that it is, so I think about being locked up like this for a month, waiting for the people in the city to die, and ...... fire, hehe....... ”

Yao Fangyu shook her head. Survived the Tatar siege but died from rumors? No, this is the life of a city, it can't be like this!

"Let people make kites and put them in the sky, and draw the family emblem of the Nangong clan on the kite." After Yao Fangyu finished speaking, he continued: "Also, put together all the cloths that can be written, and write on them, 'The Tiancheng Guards and civilians have made great achievements in the war against the Tatars!'" Misspread the plague and kill heroes! ''Plead with the imperial court to send the imperial doctor into the city!'' ''I want food, I want medicine!'' Plead not to die at the hands of your own people! Hang these at the head of the city for people to see. ”

Yao Fangyu spoke quickly, this is like what Ah Jin did during the siege of the city, you must move, so that everyone can not despair. Hope, whether it succeeds or not, the current Tianchengwei needs hope!

Feng Yue smiled bitterly and asked, "Even if it's written, who will read it?" The Datong Army that locked down the city? Then he shook his head, leaned against the wall, and stopped looking at her.

Yao Fangyu didn't want to see him so decadent, and said loudly: "Give all the soldiers present outside the city and let the Nangong clan know." If they still want to burn the city, General Feng, at least someone will avenge us! ”

"Revenge?!" Feng Yue laughed loudly, as if these two words were funny, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

Yao Fangyu asked, "Could it be that General Feng just wants to sit here and do nothing?" Don't even shout a grievance? ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a voice, "I agree!" ”

Not far away, Gao Changjing turned into the urn city.

"The Nangong clan does have the strength of four halls in the north, and the second prince is in Tianchengwei, and Pingyang will definitely do his best to rescue him. There is no way to besiege the Tatar city, but Datong Mansion is another matter. As he spoke, he bowed to Yao Fangyu, "According to what Miss Yao said, Gao organized the people to act, and if there is hope, he is not waiting to die." ”

But seeing Feng Yue's appearance, Gao Changjing sighed slightly, stepped forward and patted him, "I've been looking for you, you're ......." Cheer up, we're not dead yet. Even if the future is really dead, there are so many of us who have nothing to fear. According to Miss Yao, at least someone will avenge us. ”

Feng Yue sat for a while, the expression on his face didn't know whether to cry or laugh, "Be prepared to die, and work hard." He wiped his eyes and stood up, smiled at Yao Fangyu, and followed Gao Changjing.

After receiving the news of the Tatar retreat, Song Zhi, the master of Lubei Hall, rushed to Tianchengwei with thirty truckloads of food and medicine supplies as quickly as possible. However, by the time he arrived, Tianchengwei had already been sealed by the Datong Army. Originally, Song Zhi planned to enter the city before the closure, but he didn't expect the speed of the Datong army to be so fast this time.

Before, Nangong Pu had already negotiated with the Datong Mansion for several rounds, from asking for troops to be sent to rescue them, to bringing their own supplies into the city. But Datong Mansion only has one sentence, and he has not received an order, so he is not allowed to move without permission.

When asked where the order came from, the Datong Prefecture did not give a clear answer, only saying that Beijing and Central China would make unified arrangements. was forced to be anxious, and even took out the fact that Datongwei was besieged for half a year a few years ago to persuade Nangong Pu.

But back then, there was no rumor that there was a plague in Datongwei! This kind of persuasion has no effect on Nangong Pu.

In particular, when he encountered the soldiers of Tianchengwei who broke through the siege and asked for help, he took the guerrilla seal letter to see General Datong. However, General Datong confiscated the letter seal and insisted that he was impersonated by a homeless person. There is only one reason, that is, after the Tartar retreated, he had sent troops to seal the city, and it was impossible for him to enter or leave the city.

Nangong Pu, who knew about this, was even more anxious, urging Song Zhi to arrive as soon as possible and find a way to enter the city. And he found the Tiancheng guard who was driven out of Datong Mansion, and after learning the details, he was ready to take him into Beijing quickly. In any case, someone should always take care of this kind of thing, and you can't kill a city of people with a rumor!

Song Zhi, who rushed to Tianchengwei, was extremely helpless.

In the past two days, I communicated with the army that sealed the city repeatedly, but because of the rumors of the plague, no one was allowed to enter or leave the city, and these thirty truckloads of supplies were always left outside the city.

At this time, in the camp of the commander of the lockdown army, Song Zhi was still discussing with the commander with a smiling face. Up to now, the commander of the garrison has not given in, and the condition given is that people will definitely not be allowed to enter, but they can let supplies enter the city. There is just a premise, there must be someone from the Tai Hospital, and the Tai Doctor can be allowed to bring supplies into the city. It was at the sole discretion of the imperial physician, and this was how the plague of the imperial court was handled.

Song Zhi was in a hurry, and the people from the Tai Hospital didn't know when they came from the capital. I secretly thought, anyway, no one has ever seen the imperial doctor, so I just need to find someone to forge an official document and go in. Of course, the problem now is that he has never seen the style of the official document.

"Boss." A soldier hurriedly ran in, "There are a lot of banners hanging on the city, and there are also kites!" ”

Hearing the news, the coach was still stunned, and Song Zhi went out of the account one step ahead of him.

There was a huge kite flying in the sky above Tianchengwei, the kite was made of coarse paper, and it was indeed not easy to fly. However, there is a big Nangong clan emblem painted on it, and not only that, but there are also several secret marks like ink on the kite.

Song Zhi stared at the kite and frowned, "Second son is in trouble?!" Suddenly he turned around and asked the parishioners who were following him, "Are there any of us in the city?" ”

The hall member thought carefully and shook his head, "When our Lu Beitang withdrew from Tianchengwei, there was only one contact point, and none of us have entered the city after that. Last time I had a happy event, the people in the city also came to drink the wedding wine. It may be someone from other churches, it shouldn't be our Lubei Hall. ”

Song Zhi listened patiently to him, and became even more anxious. If it weren't for the fact that he was getting married, things wouldn't be so uncontrollable, "I have to find a way, I can't grind it like this." ”

"Break in and bring the second son out?" The congregation looked around and whispered a suggestion.

"Break? You don't want to be Pingyang, but this is the army of the imperial court, and doing so is a rebellion! Song Zhi stared, but he didn't have any idea in his heart.

The hall members pulled Song Zhi, "Hall master, there are still those words hanging on the head of the city, and I know less ......." ”

"The plague is a rumor. But even if someone in the city writes like this, there is still a doctor here! Song Zhi stomped his feet, turned his head and ordered: "Hurry up and go to Datong to inform the eldest prince." In addition, go to the government office to get an official document out, no matter what it is. If the eldest prince asks, he will say that there is an official document from the hospital here. Just go. ”

Li Mo squatted not far away, looking at the message from the city.

He arrived a few days earlier, wearing the military uniform of the Ming soldiers, and was not with the people of Lu Beitang. However, when he arrived, the city had just been sealed.

Looking at the high-flying kites at the head of the city, Ah Jin is really in the city! Some regret why they didn't come earlier, at least when the Tatars were besieging the city, they could still get in. Suddenly I thought that the Qingfeng Hall who had died inexplicably before. When he was about to go out, the master took care of him, and he didn't know the details of the enemy, so don't break in first.

However, now he knew that it was not for nothing that there was a plague in the city, and that the entire battlefield had not been cleaned until now by rotting corpses. Alas, if you don't get sick, you will be sick.

It is certain that this message was not put by Ah Jin, if he is okay, he can come out with Baxi himself. If you want to send this to everyone to see, eighty percent is not very good, so even if you go in, it will be difficult to bring it out. The thirty cartloads of supplies had to be brought into the city.

But now it can't be forced to break through, it is the Ming army that seals the city, and any abnormal movement is said by someone with a heart, it is all a rebellion.

A few days earlier, Li Mo found that several city gates were defended by boulders and molten iron, but it was not without gaps, and the south city gate found a crack and dug it for a few days at night, if there was no accident, it could be dug through again.

So, he was waiting for it to get dark.
