Hearing that the herald said that He Yunlong was coming, Huang Wenjin's first reaction was not to wonder how He Yunlong, who had been confirmed to have been captured by Wu Junsheng, could still come to Tongling, but subconsciously screamed badly, knowing that things were going to be troublesome, and it was difficult to pass this level today.

Huang Wenjin was informed, and there was no way to describe He Yunlong's angry expression when he saw Huang Wenjin, everyone present just heard a howl like an injured tiger, and then saw that He Yunlong's fist had smashed into Huang Wenjin's face, and then, the stormy fists and feet continued to hit Huang Wenjin's face, mixed with hysterical scolding, "Dog mongrel!" Ungrateful dog mongrel! Return Lao Tzu's Chizhou City, return Lao Tzu's Chizhou City! ”

Because He Yunlong pounced on him empty-handed, Huang Wenjin, who was really at a loss, never fought back, but just tried to dodge as much as possible, and gritted his teeth and endured it if he couldn't dodge, but He Yunlong, who was red-eyed, soon found that he couldn't get Huang Wenjin's life empty-handed, so he went to grab the knife of the guard in the hall again, but not only Zhao Jinfu hurriedly shouted to stop it, but Huang Wenjin, who was very good at martial arts, didn't dare to just be beaten and not fight back, so he immediately flew up and kicked the knife in He Yunlong's hand directly, and became accustomed to making up for it naturally. used the mandarin duck leg to kick the injured He Yunlong to the ground.

"Dog mongrel ——!"

He Yunlong, who was red-eyed, didn't care about the re-cracking of his body, jumped up and grabbed the guard's gun again, Zhao Jinfu hurriedly ordered the guard to hold He Yunlong down, and yelled at Huang Wenjin: "Huang Wenjin, you go out of the city first, and I'll talk about it later!" ”

Knowing that He Yunlong, who was angry, couldn't be reasonable, Huang Wenjin could only hurry away without looking back, but He Yunlong was struggling like crazy, shouting and screaming to fight with Huang Wenjin, frantically greeting Huang Wenjin's ancestors for the eighteenth generation, and yelling at Zhao Jinfu: "Zhao Jinfu, are you my brother?" It was my brother who slaughtered Huang Wenjin and avenged my Chizhou City! Avenge my brethren! Avenge! ”

"Brother He, of course we are brothers, but Huang Wenjin is also our brother in heaven." Zhao Jinfu replied very helplessly: "You calm down, I already know what happened, Huang Wenjin is not doing it properly, I'm sorry for you, but he also has his difficulties, you have to understand ......." ”

"Less nonsense!" He Yunlong roared, "This bastard, who eats me and drinks me in Chizhou, in the end, he will die and not save him, so that my Chizhou City will be broken by demon soldiers, and if you don't kill this ungrateful dog mongrel, Lao Tzu will not be a man!" ”

Zhao Jinfu smiled bitterly, and could only persuade again: "Brother He, calm down, the matter of Chizhou, I will ask Huang Wenjin to make amends for you, the demon soldiers have arrived in Datong, and the enemy is current, we must focus on unity ......." ”

"I'm too united!" He Yunlong roared wildly, and roared with red eyes: "When I was in Chizhou, where did I feel sorry for him Huang Wenjin dog mongrel?" If you give him rations and weapons, and lend him land to garrison, how can you unite him? And how did he repay me? Lao Zhao, you wait, wait for Huang Wenjin to repay you, I am your end! ”

Zhao Jinfu shook his head helplessly, and no longer persuaded him, but just asked the guard to hold He Yunlong tightly and let him calm down, but after a stalemate for a while, He Yunlong really calmed down a little, Zhao Jinfu asked someone to let him go, and asked Lang Zhong to treat He Yunlong, whose wound had been bleeding again, and at the same time deliberately changed the topic and asked: "Yunlong, didn't you hear that you were captured by the demon soldiers?" How did you escape? ”

"It's not that I escaped, it's the demon soldiers who took the initiative to release me, and my whole family." He Yunlong was distracted, first gave a general introduction to the before and after of his capture and release, and then took out a letter of persuasion written by Feng Sanbao to Zhao Jinfu, and said: "This is a letter from Feng Sanbao, the leader of the demon soldiers, to you, but I am not here to persuade you to surrender on behalf of the demon soldiers, if it weren't for Huang Wenjin's dog mongrel to settle accounts, I would rather die than send troops to the demon soldiers." ”

"Of course, the two of us have been brothers for so many years, what kind of person are you, I still don't know?"

Zhao Jinfu really trusted He Yunlong, and did not doubt He Yunlong's righteousness and true intentions at all, and also opened He Yunlong's persuasion letter to watch, but after seeing Feng Sanbao's promise to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the Taiping Army, Zhao Jinfu, who had already made a fortune from the Tongling Copper Mine, was also moved in his heart - after all, the richer a person is, the more unwilling he is to die in vain.

Fortunately, this vacillation was not enough to make Zhao Jinfu lose his mind and abandon years of faith, persistence and loyalty. Therefore, Zhao Jinfu quickly tore Feng Sanbao's letter of persuasion to shreds, and sent someone to take He Yunlong to his back hall, let his wife and concubine help take care of it, and then ordered a banquet to be set up to wash the dust and suppress the shock for his long-time friend He Yunlong.

At the wine table, He Yunlong, who still had no hatred, still scolded Huang Wenjin more than once, and repeatedly asked Zhao Jinfu to help him avenge his hatred, Zhao Jinfu's hard persuasion had little effect, so he had to quickly change the topic, and asked about the specific situation of the battle between the Chizhou Taiping Army and the Wu Army, and by the way, inquired about the specific combat effectiveness of the Wu Army's Feng Sanbao Department, He Yunlong told the truth, calmly admitted the tactical mistakes he made, and also admitted that the Wu Army's guns were sharp and extremely difficult to deal with, and the Chizhou Taiping Army was not the opponent of the Wu Army regardless of the field and street battles.

"Brother He, in your opinion, can my army stop the demon soldiers?" Zhao Jinfu asked another key question.

"Lao Zhao, to tell you the truth that you don't like to hear, I'm afraid you don't have much confidence that you can beat the demon soldiers in the field." He Yunlong was not polite, and said directly: "I know that your army's weapons and equipment are better than mine, but the foreign guns and foreign cannons in your hands are still absolutely unable to fight the demon soldiers, the guns of the demon soldiers are too powerful, they can be fought quickly and accurately, and there are palm thunder and fast-firing small cannons, and fighting with them is to find death." ”

"The surname Huang said the same thing." Zhao Jinfu looked worried, and said: "He also told me that the demon soldiers have an army that is more powerful, holding a gun that seems to be an endless demon gun, and you can shoot continuously without loading guns and ammunition. ”

"He farts! Is there such a demon gun in the world? He Yunlong, who had never fought with Henry's spear, scolded, "He is just preserving his strength and not daring to fight hard with the demon soldiers." ”

"The one surnamed Huang shouldn't lie to me." Zhao Jinfu replied: "I didn't believe that there could be such a demon gun in the world at first, but many of the Heavenly Brothers present at that time said so, so I couldn't help but believe it. ”

"Is there really such a demon spear?" He Yunlong was stunned, and asked suspiciously, "Then why didn't I run into it?" ”

"I don't know, maybe there aren't many of that kind of demon spear in the demon army, so you didn't encounter it." Zhao Jinfu guessed the correct answer, and said: "But it doesn't matter whether the demon soldiers have this kind of demon spear or not, what matters is how we can defend Tongling City." ”

"You can only defend the city with all your might." He Yunlong said helplessly: "Stick to the defense line of the city wall, use the condescending advantage to offset the gun advantage of the demon soldiers, and don't let the demon soldiers enter the city one step." ”

"But what if the walls can't be defended?" He Yunlong asked rhetorically and said: "I heard that the demon soldiers have a very powerful and strange gunpowder, which can directly blow up the city wall, if the demon soldiers directly blow up the city gate and blow up the city wall like in Chizhou, or dig a tunnel to bury gunpowder to blow up the city wall, and we can't prevent it, what should we do?" ”

"It's ......." He Yunlong was speechless, and suddenly woke up again, and hurriedly asked, "Old Zhao, are you shaken?" ”

"How can I be shaken?" Zhao Jinfu denied it and said, "I'm asking what to do?" If the walls can't be defended, what else can we do? ”

"That can only be to fight with the demon soldiers to the end, and be loyal to the Kingdom of Heaven and the King of Heaven." He Yunlong told the truth.

Zhao Jinfu's expression was a little complicated, and he nodded after a while, and sighed: "Yes, if you really get to that point, you can only be loyal to the Kingdom of Heaven and the King of Heaven." ”

"Don't worry, I will take my remnants to fight you to the end, and I will not surrender." He Yunlong comforted Zhao Jinfu and said: "But you must not let Huang Wenjin's dog mongrel enter the city, that dog mongrel has bad intentions, and entering the city may pose a greater threat to you than the demon soldiers." ”

"With you in the city, where do I dare to let Huang Wenjin enter the city?" Zhao Jinfu smiled bitterly, and his heart moved again, and suddenly thought of an excellent excuse to refuse Huang Wenjin's entry into the city - to prevent the rest of He Yunlong's troops and Huang Wenjin's troops from merging.

After the banquet, it was getting late, although He Yunlong wanted to go to his remnant camp overnight to take over the army, Zhao Jinfu stopped him, and tried his best to leave He Yunlong in the city to rest overnight, avoiding the hidden danger of He Huang's second army being on fire overnight. At the same time, for the sake of the soldiers of He and Huang's armies, and for his own interests, Zhao Jinfu sent an envoy out of the city overnight to contact Huang Wenjin, and clearly told Huang Wenjin that in order to avoid the merger of He and Huang's armies, he could only let the remnants of He Yunlong enter the city to help defend it, and asked Huang Wenjin to establish a strong camp outside the city, and the Tongling City and Tongguanshan garrisons formed a rivalry, and asked Huang Wenjin to undertake mobile tasks and be ready to send troops to rescue Tongguanshan at any time.

After learning of Zhao Jinfu's decision and requirements, Huang Wenjin, who sincerely came to help Zhao Jinfu defend Tongling City, was of course disappointed, and in frustration, Huang Wenjin even had the idea of leading the army to leave again, and took out this idea to discuss with the generals. As a result, Huang Wenjin was quite surprised that all the generals under his command unanimously agreed to leave Tongling, and his younger brother Huang Wenying also said: "It's boring to stay in Tongling, Zhao Jinfu won't let us enter the city, staying outside the city is to die in vain, He Yunlong's bastard with rat belly and chicken intestines insisted that we caused him to lose Kechizhou City, and he would definitely pull Zhao Jinfu to do everything possible to frame us." Rather than stay here and die, it is better to take the brothers and leave as soon as possible, and go to other places that can accommodate us to fight with the demon soldiers. ”

"The second general's words make sense." Fan Ruzeng, who made a big mistake in Chizhou, also said timidly: "We can go to Wuwei to go to Qi Tianhou Fan Yunde, if he takes us in, of course it is best, if not, you can go directly to the Wing King Eight Thousand Years Old, with the temper of Eight Thousand Years Old, he will definitely not embarrass us, and he will definitely treat us well." ”

The rest of the generals echoed one after another, saying that instead of staying in Tongling to be angry with He Yunlong and being forced to die by Zhao Jinfu, it was better to go downstream to join the Wuwei Taiping Army or go directly to Shi Dakai. Huang Wenjin was greatly moved when he heard this, and he really couldn't get along with He Yunlong, so he made up his mind after thinking for a while, and said: "Okay, tomorrow I will send someone to contact Zhao Jinfu and give him one last chance, if he lets us enter the city, we will stay and help him fight demon soldiers and guard Tongling." If he still insists on staying outside the city, then we will go to do nothing! ”

The generals applauded, and Huang Wenjin also said in his heart: "Zhao Jinfu, this is the last chance that Lao Tzu gave you, if it weren't for the great events of the kingdom of heaven, in fact, Lao Tzu wouldn't even want to give you this rat-eyed copper rat at the last chance." ”

It's a pity that after Huang Wenjin sent an envoy into the city to express his attitude to Zhao Jinfu the next day, Zhao Jinfu not only did not seize this last opportunity, but was also very angry at Huang Wenjin's decision, and almost scolded Huang Wenjin on the spot for his ingratitude, eating his own food and grass for nothing, and refusing to die for himself. He Yunlong next to him sneered and said, "Lao Zhao, do you see it, this is what happened to you when you took Huang Wenjin in, now you should understand what kind of person he is, right?" ”

Hearing He Yunlong's words, Zhao Jinfu's face was of course how ugly and ugly it was, but the envoy sent by Huang Wenjin had an even more ugly face, and said directly: "Tian'an, think about it, we Huang Chengxuan said, he will wait for you until it gets dark, if you don't give us an answer before dark, we will leave immediately in the evening." ”

Huang Wenjin's envoy left angrily, Zhao Jinfu's face became more ugly, but He Yunlong next to him was very sorry, and said: "It's a pity that the demon soldiers came too slowly, if the demon soldiers could rush to Tongling City at this time, as long as the demon soldiers found out that Huang Wenjin was going to retreat tonight, he Huang Wenjin just didn't want to fight with the demon soldiers to the end!" ”

Hearing He Yunlong's words, Zhao Jinfu's heart moved again, and a vicious thought surfaced in his mind, but fortunately, Zhao Jinfu just moved this idea, and immediately dispelled this too despicable plan, and at the same time had no choice, Zhao Jinfu had to carefully consider whether to let Huang Wenjin lead the army into Tongling to help him defend the city? - Although the relationship between Zhao Jinfu and He Yunlong is quite good, if it is more beneficial to Zhao Jinfu to let Huang Wenjin's troops enter Tongling City, it is not impossible for realist Zhao Jinfu to consider giving up He Yunlong and embracing Huang Wenjin with open arms.

The result of consideration was that Zhao Jinfu did not dare to take this risk, because the reputation of Huang Wenjin, a veteran of the Taiping Army, was too much higher than that of Zhao Jinfu, and there were many more veteran Guangxi brothers in the army than in Zhao Jinfu's army. So after hesitating again and again, Zhao Jinfu still made up his mind and decided that he could not let Huang Wenjin enter the city no matter what, so he could only find another way to let Huang Wenjin be cannon fodder outside the city.

It also happened that just when Zhao Jinfu made up his mind, bad news suddenly came from the side of Tongguan Mountain, saying that after the Wu army landed in Datong Town this morning, the vanguard team directly drove to the foot of Tongguan Mountain and arranged artillery positions to prepare to attack the Tongguan Mountain camp of the Tongling Taiping Army. Zhao Jinfu, who regarded Tongguan Mountain as his life, was of course shocked when he heard the news, and then suddenly had an idea, and immediately sent people out of the city to contact Huang Wenjin, asking Huang Wenjin to immediately send troops to reinforce Tongguan Mountain, promising that as long as Tongguan Mountain was held, he would lend the Tongguan Mountain camp operated by the Tongling Taiping Army for many years to Huang Wenjin to station, and ensure the supply of grain, grass and ammunition.

"Thank you, I know the situation in Tongguan Mountain, the camp is very strong, but unfortunately it is not a city wall, and it is not vulnerable in front of the flowering cannon of the demon soldiers, I am not interested in going there to die. If you want my help, let me into the city, or I'll leave as soon as it gets dark. ”

This was Huang Wenjin's heartless reply without any consideration, but after the envoy brought Huang Wenjin's original words back to Zhao Jinfu, Zhao Jinfu, who was angry, was angry from his heart, and he finally made up his mind............
