The little fat man originally felt that his trip to Bazhou was really ups and downs, and he finally experienced all kinds of emergencies and big battles in person, but at this moment, he finally realized that the previous ones were just a small warm-up before the opening of the big play, and they were nothing at all. His hands and feet were cold, and he only felt that his mind was blank, let alone coping, and he didn't even have any ideas.

"Are the gates closed? Have you ever informed Zhu Hanqing? The soldiers and civilians in the city should go immediately to pacify ......"

In the end, Master Yue has been in officialdom for a long time, even if he has no experience in dealing with such a big war, but he suddenly recovered from the shock of learning of such an urgent military situation, but he opened his mouth to ask a series of closely related questions. And Zhou Jiyue had already passed the sluggish period when she heard the news at first glance, and at this time, her face immediately turned straight and answered Master Yue's question in a deep voice.

"On all sides of Bazhou City, a total of six city gates have been ordered to close, General Zhu Xiao is already urgently ordering troops, and he will immediately go to the city to guard the ......"

It wasn't until the little fat man heard that the city gate was closed and Zhu Hanqing was ordering troops to prepare for battle, that he finally recovered from the shock and speechlessness, self-pity, anger and chagrin just now. Hearing Zhou Jiyue talking about those busy but not chaotic responses in all aspects, and hearing the old man Yue Da ask every word about staffing, grain, straw, ordnance and so on, he gradually felt very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, he opened his mouth and said in a loud voice, "I want to go up to the city and see!" ”

Before meeting, Master Yue and Zhou Jiyue turned their heads to look at him at the same time, and the little fat man couldn't help but feel a little weak in his heart. However, this time he was full of energy, no matter how the two of them objected, he must go to the top of the city and personally preside over the defense of the city. Unexpectedly, what he was waiting for was not opposition, but the undoubted support of the eldest lord.

"When the people in the city were panicking, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not afraid of difficulties, risked arrows and stones, and ascended the city to preside over the defense, which is a good thing to inspire the hearts of the army and the people. If you have this heart, not to mention the unknown number of soldiers and horses besieging the city, even if there are still 100,000 troops, then there is no need to be afraid! You must know that Bazhou is not the Bazhou of Bazhou, it is the Bazhou of Dawu, and no matter how hard the Northern Yan soldiers work, they can't cope with the hundreds of thousands of troops in the entire northern Xinjiang of Dawu! ”

And Zhou Jiyue bowed slightly to the little fat man and said, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to go, I will go and gather the guards of the East Palace." ”

The little fat man only felt surprised and happy, and the negative emotions that had just accumulated in his heart disappeared in an instant. He nodded hurriedly, and then said ruthlessly: "As long as I am here, Yan Jun will not want to take the first step out of the city!" ”

This kind of argument that I am in the city, coming out of the mouth of the dignified prince, seems a little childish and ridiculous, but no matter the eldest lord and Zhou Jiyue, none of them laughed. Compared with the little fat man who is just full of enthusiasm and a sense of responsibility at the moment, Zhou Jiyue knows how difficult the situation will be in the next few days. There are only 2,000 soldiers and horses in the city, many of whom are wounded, and the whereabouts of Liu Jingxuan's troops and horses are unknown, and the casualties are unknown.

At this time, the prince is willing to stand up, which is the only chance to win!

When Lord Yue hurriedly went back to summon the officials, Zhou Jiyue had already summoned all the guards of the East Palace as quickly as possible. Compared to the little fat man, the people who guarded the pro-army were purely shocked and angry, while the teenagers from the Wuying Pavilion fell into silence after an uproar, and I don't know how many people turned their eyes on Liu Fangyuan.

And Liu Fangyuan was indeed as everyone expected, his face was hideous. Bai Bufan, who deeply understood his mood, thought of the rumors about Liu Jingxuan that he had heard before, and compared with the current situation of encountering the enemy army besieging the city again, he didn't know that this was completely deliberate on the part of Beiyan. But the more he knew, the more discouraged he felt, and he only hated that he hadn't discovered this trick earlier.

Compared with Liu Fangyuan's white and extraordinary, Dai Zhanning seemed silent and low-key, with a flat expression on his face with his head down, it was difficult to see what mood he was in at the moment. Even when a few people around him quietly watched, hoping that he would stand up and say a few words, he still hung his head and did not say a word, like a silent sculpture.

Zhou Jiyue naturally wouldn't give Liu Fangyuan a chance to break out, she suddenly took a deep breath and shouted, and when everyone regained their quiet, she said in a deep voice: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is determined to be with the city, he will entrust me to wait for his safety." No matter what you have in mind, I don't have time to think about it right now. Don't forget your accusations as guards in the East Palace now! ”

Although Liu Fangyuan was so angry that his whole body was trembling, he still held back such emotions in the end. When he followed everyone to line up outside the gate of the Taishou Mansion and ushered in the prince in military uniform, he saw the little fat man's gaze fall on his face accurately. Immediately after, he saw the little fat man stretch out his finger and point over.

"Liu Fangyuan, get in the car!"

Seeing that the prince directly ordered Liu Fangyuan to board the car and accompany him, many of the young people in the Wuying Pavilion breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that His Royal Highness the Prince still did not have a plan to divide the Yan people in the north of the country, and still believed in the father and son of the Liu family. And although those guards and pro-soldiers have always been a little envious and jealous of the young people of the Wuying Pavilion who are more trusted by the East Palace, they still can't help but admire this scene at this moment.

In the past, when the crown prince was still the king of England, there were a flood of bad reviews, but now look at it, where is the wrong person? After arriving in Bazhou, this decisive, responsible, courageous, and critical moment can give enough trust to the commander of the army, even if the former emperor, if he encountered this series of emergencies when he was the prince, he might not be able to deal with it better than the current prince!

The little fat man in the carriage did not encourage Liu Fangyuan again and again as others imagined, and expressed his trust in his heart, but after the initial long silence, he whispered: "I'm afraid the next few days will be more difficult than before, and there will be a lot of suspicious and suspicious arguments at that time, from today on, you will be my close attendant." ”

Liu Fangyuan was taken aback: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"

"Whether you originally wanted to make a career or fight back against those voices who said that your father had different intentions, but the most important thing now is stability, not risk. You must know ......" The little fat man clenched his fists in some pain, and slammed on the half wall of the carriage, and his head that had just been held high in front of people was already hanging down, "Qianqiu and King Jin have already fallen into the hands of Beiyan!" ”

At that moment, Liu Fangyuan was like the little fat man before, he only felt that his mind was blank.

Until the little fat man stood on the high city tower, overlooking the enemy army like a tide, and saw that the siege equipment was pushed out in an orderly manner, as if he was planning to assemble it overnight, and the siege would be launched tomorrow, Liu Fangyuan's mind was not thinking about the crisis in front of him at all, and his mind was full of thinking about the more Qianqiu.

After he and Yue Qianqiu met, this peer who insisted on grabbing a senior brother seemed to be omnipotent, and he did everything he thought was impossible. But now, Yue Qianqiu actually fell into Beiyan like Xiao Jingxian, is this possible? If it's true, then what should Xuandaotang do? Will Yan Xu go crazy? What kind of attitude and mood will the old lady have?

And the little fat man is also calm on the face, but in fact his heart is like numbness. Because he was worried about the arrows, there were several guards with shields in front of him, and Zhu Hanqing, who had just rushed over, also pressed the hilt of his sword with his hand, his face full of vigilance. The little fat man barely cheered up and asked a few words about the security situation, and when he heard Zhu Hanqing's answer, he was full of confidence, and he was finally a little relieved.

But at this moment, a reckless interjection made the atmosphere freeze again. This time it was no one else who broke the atmosphere, it was the general Huzi Bai Bufan: "General Zhu, the enemy army is tired from afar, and he actually plans to reorganize the siege equipment overnight, why don't you take advantage of their unstable foothold, go out of the city to sneak attack, and give them a powerful look?" ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, although Bai Bufan said that his current position was only that of the East Palace guards, and he was not suitable for and had no right to make such a suggestion at such a time, he still couldn't help but watch such a good opportunity fleeting. Especially in the face of Zhu Hanqing's somewhat sharp gaze, he continued to speak even more stubbornly.

"The enemy must know that now that General Liu is leading the troops outside, there are few soldiers in Bazhou City, so they unscrupulously disregard the gist of the village, prepare overnight, and look like they are about to attack the city at three moments. Not to mention anything else, as long as you can set fire to those siege engines after the attack, you can drag it on for at least ten days and eight days, and the reinforcements will have already arrived by then! ”

"How do you know that the enemy's posture is not to lure me into a night attack and annihilate the elite defenders of Bazhou City?" Liu Fangyuan and Bai Bufan relied on the order of the prince to inquire about the defenders one by one, but they did not find anyone who slandered Liu Jingxuan at all.

Seeing that Bai Bufan's face was unconvinced, he laughed and said: "Don't forget, there are still spies in the city who disguise themselves as Bazhou army soldiers to make waves, what if the elite on my side is exhausted, but there are spies over there who suddenly launch and cooperate with the enemy army outside to prepare to seize Bazhou City?" Do as much as you have the strength, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, no risk! ”

The more Liu Fangyuan and Bai Bufan listened, the more they felt that these words were all aimed at them, and even vaguely felt that there was also a meaning aimed at Liu Jingxuan - but it was true, if Liu Jingxuan was not greedy for merit, but returned as soon as possible after defeating the Northern Yan soldiers and horses, now Bazhou would not be so overstretched even if it was besieged again!

However, Liu Fangyuan had already had green tendons on his head, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word. And Bai Bufan's words about how to have a result if he didn't take risks came to his lips, and he didn't dare to say it after all. It doesn't matter if he takes risks, he can risk a fire in the backyard and risk the safety of the prince of the East Palace, his father and his grandfather will definitely kill him if they know about it!

The little fat man was already in a very bad mood, and the argument between the two sides was like adding fuel to the fire, making him almost unable to help but be angry. However, it was at this time that he heard a calm voice.

"It is indeed a good idea to take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold, attack it unprepared, and frustrate its edge."

With this voice, the eldest man in an official uniform appeared in front of everyone unhurriedly. He first saluted the little fat man meticulously, and then said lightly: "Although General Zhu is young, he is also a great general who has been honed on the battlefield since he was a child. It's a risk worth taking. ”

The eldest lord Yue, who had always been cautious and serious, actually said something worth taking, and Bai Bufan couldn't help but be surprised and delighted.

And what was also inexplicably surprised was Zhou Jiyue. However, at this time, the sky had already darkened, and although the head of the city was lit with a torch, in order to prevent any archers from taking the opportunity to snipe, there was no torch in the area where everyone was standing, so even if she had enough eyesight, she couldn't see clearly what the expression on the face of the eldest master was.

Because of Lord Yue's words, the little fat man seemed to have found an outlet to vent, and immediately said to Zhu Hanqing: "General Zhu, did you hear Lord Yue's words?" Is it really not feasible to go out of town and attack at night? ”

If it was just Bai Bufan, Zhu Hanqing could naturally refute it with his age and military position, but now the same opinion is the Yue Da Master who is acting as the Taishou, Zhu Hanqing thinks that it is not Liu Jingxuan, and he can't bear it at all. Therefore, when the little fat man's question also brought out a clear tendency, he thought that he was entrusted with the duty of staying behind, and he did not have much merit before, and gradually became moved.

He is not a battlefield junior brother who has not stolen the battalion, once this battle is successful, he will definitely ...... But what if it fails?

Just when Zhu Hanqing was caught in the battle between heaven and man, and he was in a dilemma, the anxious little fat man added another weight to the scale: "You don't need to kill many enemies, as long as you burn those siege equipment, this merit is not inferior to General Liu's opening of the city and breaking the 100,000 army of the Northern Yan Puppet Emperor!" All the soldiers are promoted to the third level, and they will never break their promises! ”

As long as the little fat man said what he said when he was lonely, it was all loud and unrepentant, so Zhu Hanqing finally changed his mind. He himself can turn away the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but if the soldiers below know that he has missed the opportunity for promotion and the crown prince's commendation because of his conservatism, then where will he have the prestige of a general in the future?

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, and finally knelt down on one knee, and said awe-inspiringly: "Please lead the army to attack, select the elite as dead soldiers, and the rest will defend the city, be prepared!" ”

"Good!" The little fat man was in good spirits at this time, and as soon as he looked left and right, his eyes fell on Bai Bufan, because he smiled, "Bai Bufan, you have always been by my side before this seed, and your heart is itchy, right?" This time, you also go, follow General Zhu to polish it, and be a young general like General Zhu one day! ”

Bai Bufan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately agreed happily. Overjoyed, he glanced at Liu Fangyuan and Dai Zhanning, but he really hoped to bring these two people along, but after thinking about it again, he still didn't dare to go beyond the bounds of his subordinates. When he saw that the little fat man began to speak loudly again to boost morale, he only felt that he had really made the right choice to enter the Wuying Pavilion before.

Under the encouragement of the crowd, no one noticed that Zhou Jiyue's sharp eyes stared at Master Yue from beginning to end, until the other party noticed her gaze and finally looked over. Under the four eyes, the eldest lord smiled apologetically, and then regained his composure.

If you gamble on everything, then put all the chips on the bright side in one go!
