Hearing Dong Junxiao's words, the generals beside Dong Junxiao naturally couldn't help but nod and said, "Don't worry, Lord Steward, there will be six patrols and sentries at night, and they will be guarded in shifts." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoWe're not going to let the Red Turban thieves outside the city sneak up on them. ”

Hearing his subordinates' words, Dong Chuanxiao couldn't help but nodded. But even so, he couldn't help but give a lot of instructions to the generals beside him. And after that, he dragged his tired body around the entire city wall of Anfeng City, and only after all the soldiers had finished eating did he stop and enjoy his meal, which had been heated many times.

……

"Big brother has a big incident, wake up, wake up!" Early the next morning, after Dong Junxiao, who was half-asleep and half-awake, heard his brother's anxious words on the bed, he couldn't help but open his eyes suddenly, looked at his brother and said, "What's the matter, isn't it the red turban thief who entered the city?" ”

"No, no...... It wasn't the red turban thieves who entered the city, but the ...... It's that the red turban thieves have withdrawn! ”

"What, the troops are withdrawn!" Hearing his brother's incoherent words, Dong Junxiao, who was sitting on the bed, couldn't help but stand up suddenly, staring at his brother in surprise and yelling.

And Dong Angxiao saw his eldest brother like this, and he also hurriedly pulled his eldest brother's sleeve and said: "That's right, all the red turban thieves outside the city have withdrawn, and there is nothing, you can go and take a look." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go." After saying this, Dong Xiaoxiao picked up the robe that was placed next to the bed and walked out. However, looking at his eldest brother like this, Dong Angxiao in the back was busy shouting at his eldest brother: "Big brother, your boots, your boots fell ......"

……

A moment later, on the western wall of Anfeng City. Surrounded by the guards beside him, Dong Junxiao, who was a little disheveled, stretched out his body to look at the empty Red Turban Army camp outside the city wall, but couldn't help frowning deeply.

Those who know him well know that when he makes this action, he is often in deep thought. However, it was at this time that a Han general shouted happily, but suddenly interrupted Dong Shuxiao's train of thought.

"That's right, the tens of thousands of red turban thieves outside the city have all withdrawn, and there is not a single one left, all of them have withdrawn, all of them have withdrawn!" The general who went out of the city to inquire about the news, after returning, couldn't help waving the horsewhip in his hand, shouting at the other generals on the city wall.

Hearing his words, the other generals standing beside Dong Shuxiao naturally couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise for the rest of their lives.

"Eternal Heaven blesses, Buddha blesses, Bodhisattvas bless, and Yuan Shi Tianzun blesses." In short, all of a sudden, on this city wall, this group of generals who survived the catastrophe couldn't help but report the names of the gods and goddesses as if they were reporting the names of the dishes.

But the more this is the case, the more Dong Shuxiao, who is standing in front of everyone, the more his brows are wrinkled.

"It doesn't make sense, this group of bandits outside the city obviously has the upper hand, why did they retreat like this?" Looking at the empty tent outside the city, and the elated generals who survived the catastrophe on the city wall, Dong Junxiao couldn't help but say to himself.

However, hearing Dong Junxiao's words to himself, Dong Angxiao, who was also happy standing beside him, couldn't help but say to his eldest brother: "Big brother, what are we doing so much, anyway, it's not just us who are ordered to beg for thieves, and now we can beat back the red turban thief, make a contribution, and have an explanation to the above." ”

"I don't know where we are going" Dong Junxiao, who was pondering, couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard his brother's words, looked at his brother and said, "No wonder Liu Futong will retreat." That's right, it must be the red turban thief who hurt Ruyang on the side of Lord Yexian and His Royal Highness King Wei. ”

"Liu Futong is on fire in the backyard, no wonder he is so anticlimactic, it turns out that he wants to confuse me, this dog thief must have wanted to run away a long time ago!" Speaking of this, Dong Junxiao, who knew that he was scheming, couldn't help but pat the battlements with hatred, and roared with shame: "This dog thief!" ”

And when the generals standing beside Dong Shuxiao heard this, their faces couldn't help but show a sudden look.

However, even if the faces of these generals were abrupt, the look of happiness on their faces still existed, and it was obvious that this group of guys was not interested in why the group of red turban thieves outside the city had retreated.

Seeing this, Dong Shuxiao couldn't help but say to the generals beside him with hatred: "Generals, now the red turban thieves have caught fire in the courtyard, and they are too busy to take care of themselves. The opportunity for success or failure can be said to be in one fell swoop, so the general decided that even if our army ordered troops out of the city, the tail line entangled the thief army, so that the thief could not return to help and died without a fight. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? ”

However, hearing Dong Junxiao's words, the generals who had just been lucky for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe naturally couldn't help but show bitterness. One of them, Yuanmeng Wanhu, even hugged his fists at Dong Shuxiao with a look of prevarication and said: "If you go back to the words of the chief manager, the soldiers under the command of the last general have already suffered a great injury after repeated fierce battles. Moreover, now our army does not understand the real reason why the thief army withdrew. ”

"In case this is not because of the fire in the backyard of the thieves, but because of the thieves' plan to lure the enemy out of the city, wouldn't our army rush out of the city, wouldn't there be a danger of overturning?"

"Lord Wanhu is right, the last general and others also think that the matter of leaving the city should be carefully considered." Hearing the words of that Wanhu, the generals who were also reluctant to go out of the city and take risks naturally couldn't help but echo one after another.

And seeing the generals like this, Dong Junxiao still doesn't know what these people think in their hearts. But Dong Junxiao is a Han chief after all, and his rotation of official positions is not enough to "go his own way" here. So after seeing the generals say this, Dong Junxiao could only sigh, and waved his hand to the generals and said: "Okay, since that's the case, let's wait until the situation is clear, and then talk about sending troops." ”

And when the generals saw Dong Shuxiao giving up so easily, they naturally couldn't help but show joy on their faces, and then happily saluted Dong Shuxiao with their fists: "Mr. Xie is sympathetic to me!" ”

However, when Dong Junxiao saw this, the disappointment in his eyes became more and more intense.

……

In December of the 11th year, Shangcai City.

Han Yan'er, a well-known warrior in the Red Turban Army, held a saber in his hand, surrounded by a group of guards, looking at the low morale on the city wall, almost all of the wounded soldiers. His heart couldn't help but think of the wall tiles covered by heavy snow, which was extremely cold.

"Your Excellency General Qiqi, there is not much military food left in the city. And because of the lack of cold protection in the city, many soldiers were sick with typhoid fever, and the situation in the city was very ...... It's not good, general, please come up with a solution quickly. Otherwise, the brothers in the city would not have lasted long. ”

Because of Han Erwu's death, Xue Qing, a brave general who became Han Yan'er's deputy, couldn't help but report to Han Yan'er like this after Han Yan'er returned to the camp from the city wall.

However, after Han Yan'er heard Han Erwu's words, she sighed and said, "Aqing, you also know the current situation. There are still 50,000 troops besieging the city outside the city, and there are less than 3,000 soldiers in my city. ”

When Xue Qing heard Han Yan'er's words, he naturally knew that what Han Yan'er said was true, so after hearing Han Yan'er's helpless words, Xue Qing could only sigh with disappointment.

However, after a long sigh, Xue Qing couldn't help but raise his head, looked at Han Yan'er and said, "General, we can't go on like this." This Tartar has been besieging the city for nearly a month, although it is said that because of General Zhang Shihua and Zhang, it has shared some pressure for us. ”

"However, General Zhang, after all, he has few soldiers, and it is impossible for him to save us. As for Marshal Liu, although Marshal Liu was able to withdraw from Anfeng smoothly not long ago, he was helpless because God was not beautiful. After a heavy snowfall, Marshal Liu's reinforcements must at least wait for more than ten days. ”

"For more than ten days, it is impossible for us to hold on. Therefore, the last general thinks that it is better to take advantage of the fact that we still have these combatable soldiers in our hands, and break through the siege at night to save our lives. ”

However, hearing Xue Qing's words, Han Yan'er sighed and said: "Break through at night, Aqing, you don't know, there are 50,000 horses outside the city, just with this little man and horse in our hands, if you want to break through smoothly, it is difficult to climb to the sky!" ”

"General, Mr. Zheng Xuli is resourceful, we might as well ask Mr. Zheng, Mr. Zheng may have a way."

"Mr. Zheng" Hearing Xue Qing say this, Han Yan'er couldn't help but nodded, "That's the case, and invite Mr. Zheng quickly!" ”

"The last general obeys!" Hearing Han Yan'er's order, Xue Qinggao couldn't help but retreat after singing a fat promise.

……

After a while, in Han Yan'er's Chinese army tent, Zheng Xuli, who was summoned by Xue Qing, walked quickly to Han Yan'er's Chinese army tent, and saw Han Yan'er, who was frowning, and couldn't help but hurriedly bow to Han Yan'er: "Xiaguan Zheng Xuli, meet the general." ”

Hearing Zheng Xuli's words, Han Yan'er, who had been pondering there, couldn't help but raise his head, looked at Zheng Xuli under the tent, and said in an anxious tone: "Mr. Zheng, you are finally here, do you know the plan proposed by Aqing, I don't know if you have any good plans, sir?" ”

Zheng Xuli heard Han Yan'er's words, and after being slightly silent for a moment, he couldn't help but bow to Han Yan'er: "General, General Xue is right, the only way to lead the army to break through can there be a glimmer of life!" ”

"Of course, I know this, but there are 50,000 Tartars outside the city, and it is difficult to lead an army to break through the siege!"

However, after hearing such words, Zheng Xuli paused and then bowed again: "General, there are indeed 50,000 Tartars outside the city, but aren't there still 500 elite horsemen in the city?" ”

However, hearing Zheng Xuli's words, Han Yan'er sighed and said, "Just five hundred horsemen, how can it be used!" ”

"Five hundred cavalry is indeed useless, but if it can be used well, it is enough to break through."

"Oh! Please sir teach me! Hearing Zheng Xuli's words, Han Yan'er couldn't help but bow to Zheng Xu with joy on her face.

Seeing this, Zheng Xuli turned sideways to avoid Han Yan'er's bow, and couldn't help but clench his fists and say to Han Yan'er: "General, there are still 3,000 soldiers in the city who can fight. Most of these 3,000 soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and if the general can use these 3,000 elite soldiers as bait. 3,000 elite soldiers went west, and the general led 500 elite cavalry to the east, I think it is not difficult to break through the siege. ”

"Take 3,000 elite soldiers as bait and lead the elite cavalry to the east." Hearing Zheng Xuli's cruel words, Han Yan'er couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.

"How can this make those 3,000 elite soldiers all my siblings and henchmen, how can I send them to death with my own hands."

However, hearing Han Yan'er's words, Zheng Xuli bowed to Han Yan'er and said, "General, this time and that time." Now that you are still unable to protect yourself, how can you take care of those 3,000 soldiers. Moreover, breaking through the encirclement is also something that must be done in the future, and the one on the battlefield is not nine deaths, how can it be said that you are harmed by the general. ”

"Well, that's not good!" Hearing Zheng Xuli's words, Han Yan'er's tone couldn't help but relax a lot.

Seeing this, Zheng Xuli knew that Han Yan'er had already moved, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said: "If you still have any concerns, general, then the lower official is willing to personally lead the three thousand foot soldiers and go west, thinking that the general is a cover." ”

"I can't do it, I can't do it. Mr. Zheng is my brain, my heart, how can I let you take such a big risk, sir. After hearing Zheng Xuli's words, Han Yan'er couldn't help but say this with a touched face.

However, when Zheng Xuli heard this, he bowed and said: "Cannibalism is a matter of loyalty." The general has a great favor for the promotion of the lower officials, and his kindness is equivalent to that of the lord of the lower officials. Isn't it a matter for a courtier to exchange his life for the life of his lord? ”

"Therefore, the lord does not need to be persuaded, and the courtiers will decide."

Hearing Zheng Xuli, who was kneeling on the ground, say such words, Han Yan'er finally couldn't help but walk to Zheng Xuli's side with tears in his eyes, and personally picked up Zheng Xuli, who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "Xuli is kind and affectionate, and I, Han Yan'er, will never forget." I just don't know, do you still have anything to remember? ”

And after Zheng Xuli was helped up by Han Yan'er, when he heard Han Yan'er's words, he couldn't help but say with tears in his eyes: "As a courtier, you shouldn't ask for favor and reward at this time, but my Zheng family is in the city. There are three unfilial pieties, no queen is great, and the minister does not want to face the ancestors and ancestors after death. ”

"So I only ask you, my lord, that when you break through, you can take my unsuccessful son and leave a bloodline for my Zheng family."

"Xuli, don't worry, I, Han Yan'er, have no heirs. Therefore from this day onwards your Son will be my Son. If I live, your son will live. This is the oath that I Han Yan'er made to the sky. ”

"In this case, the minister has no more concerns." After saying this, Zheng Xuli bowed again.
