Gongsun Long's soldiers and horses had just won the battle, and the morale of the army was high, and they were holding back their strength to take Jinping City in one fell swoop. Beigong Ru also encouraged Gongsun Long to take advantage of the victory to pursue and not give the wing army a chance to breathe.

Out of the commander's military tent, Yu Mo asked puzzledly: "Shizi, didn't you say that you took Youcheng and Fengcheng firstly to confirm the crime of Shugongyun's rebellion, and secondly, to win the trust of their father and son, and then try to delay time and disturb the morale of the army?" Then why did you still encourage Gongsun Long to attack Jinping as soon as possible? Zhao Jingzhi also nodded confusedly on the side.

Beigong Ru patted Yu Mo's shoulder and said, "What you said is good. But I dared to call Gongsun Long to attack the city immediately because I knew that he would not win. As early as before leaving, Chu Ziyi and I had carefully considered the candidates to be sent to guard Jinping, and finally chose Xu Shaobin. This man is not good at attacking, but he really has no one to compare with him on the defensive side. The capture of the lower city and the peak city was originally in our plan, so Jinping had already prepared and waited for the rabbit. At this time, Gongsun Long went to attack the city, which was just enough to frustrate his morale. ”

Yu Mo suddenly realized: "I see. ”

Beigong Ru then instructed: "You two must take chin beans tonight, and you won't go to battle with the army tomorrow on the grounds of diarrhea." ”

Zhao Jingzhi hurriedly said: "What about you?" ”

Beigong Ru said with a smile: "It's too easy for the three of us to get sick at the same time to arouse suspicion, don't worry, I have other ways." ”

Gongsun Long was bent on breaking through Jinping and consolidating his position before his younger brother Gongsun Jing arrived, so he gladly followed Beigong Ru's advice and set up camp, and the next day he began to storm Jinping.

Xu Shaobin, the garrison of Jinping City, was a veteran of the city, and a thick pile of thistles had been piled up under the city gates and walls, and Gongsun Long's army had to spend time and effort removing these obstacles. At the same time, the defenders of the city had already launched a counterattack against the besieging enemy forces with bows and crossbows. For a time, stones, wooden sticks, and boiling water were thrown from the registered car to the city, and Gongsun Long's soldiers and horses were difficult to approach. Some of those who climbed the city wall were also beaten down by long axes, lianbang, wolf fangs, and yakshas.

At this time, I saw Beigong as a leader, leading a team of people to rush to the city, waving his sword to block the bows and arrows shot from the city as he ran, and dodged them all. Suddenly, he spotted a flying feathered arrow, but instead of dodging, it struck him right in the right shoulder, and he immediately fell off his horse and was rescued back to his camp by the soldiers who had caught up. Then, Gongsun Long personally went out again, and he fought until dusk without making any progress, and suffered heavy losses, so he had to quickly withdraw his troops.

When Gongsun Long was leading his troops to retreat, several cavalry suddenly came out of the city to chase Gongsun Long's soldiers and horses. Gongsun Long's army did not expect that these soldiers defending the city would have the courage to take the initiative to go out of the city to pursue, and immediately the army was in turmoil, and they fled and were beaten by the wing army.

Returning to the coach's tent, Gongsun Long hung his head and said: "This time the loss of troops is really worth the loss." He saw that Beigong Ru was already pale and must have lost a lot of blood, so he hurriedly said, "Quickly ask someone to heal the son." ”

Two soldiers walked in, one held Beigong Ru to prevent him from following forward when he pulled out the arrow, and the other took a knife to cut a little from the wound of the arrow so that the arrow could be pulled out.

Beigong Ru gritted his teeth, and dripping sweat particles appeared on his forehead. "Ahh Beigong Ru couldn't help but scream, and the arrow was pulled out. The two of them hurriedly cleaned his wounds, and after dressing and bandaging them, they retreated.

Gongsun Long couldn't bear to say: "The prince will rest for two days first." ”

Beigong Ru nodded slightly, and said worriedly: "The only way to do this now is to wait for the large group of soldiers and horses to converge before attacking the city." ”

When Gongsun Long heard this, his face immediately changed, and he said unconvinced: "I will lead people to attack again tomorrow, and I will never withdraw my troops if I don't take Jinping!" ”

After that, Gongsun Long worked hard for many days without any results, and the morale of the army gradually declined.

Two days later, Gongsun Jing arrived with reinforcements, and knowing that the eldest brother had failed to attack the city, he led a team of men and horses to carefully surround Jinping City to reconnoitre, and came back and said: "I have observed, the southeast gate is their weak point. Tomorrow we will concentrate our forces and attack the southeast gate. ”

When Beigong heard this, he couldn't help but sink in his heart.

Beigong Ru returned to the camp tent and hurriedly said to Zhao Jingzhi and Yu Mo: "This Gongsun Jingzhen is not simple, he can see the weakness of Jinpingcheng's defense so quickly. ”

Zhao Jingzhi asked anxiously, "What should I do then?" We've got to send a message to the city. ”

Yu Mo shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's a fraud." Gongsun Jing has always distrusted the prince, but today he told us the battle plan in front of us, and I am afraid that he is waiting for us to act rashly and send the news out, so as to arrest us properly. ”

Beigong nodded approvingly and said, "That's right." We can't take any chances. Yu Mo, you go and help me get a few basins of cold water. ”

Zhao Jingzhi asked puzzledly: "What do you want cold water for?" It's cold enough this December. ”

Beigong Ru sighed and said: "My injury is almost healed, if I want to continue to delay, I can only pretend that the arrow wound causes cold and heat." ”

"Are you crazy?" Zhao Jingzhi hurriedly said: "Don't die?" ”

Beigong Ru shouted: "Be a little louder, we will really die if we are heard." ”

Zhao Jingzhi hurriedly whispered: "This is not a joke, it will kill people." ”

Beigong Ru frowned and said, "I still have a way to deal with it tomorrow, but after tomorrow, I have to contact Xu Shaobin." Chu Ziyi told him that he could only believe it if I came to him in person. So, I'm going to have to sneak out tomorrow night. Then he whispered to the two of them.

After listening to Beigong Ru's plan, Yu Mo sighed, went out to avoid everyone, and prepared more than a dozen buckets of cold water. Beigong Ru took off his shirt and said to him, "Come on." Yu Mo bit his lower lip tightly, and poured all the cold water on Beigong Ru's body until he was soaked with cold water from head to toe, and his lips began to turn purple. It was night, and Beigong Ru started to burn.

But the next morning, he still struggled to get up and attack the city with Gongsun Long, and Gongsun Long persuaded him several times, and finally said: "The prince is so weak that he can't even get on a horse, and it will definitely not work to charge into battle." Just let me command from the car. Beigong Ru had no choice but to give up, and sat in the car with Gongsun Long to watch Gongsun Jing attack.

Gongsun Jing's estimate is really good, and the southeast gate is the weak point of Jinping City. Gongsun Jing took the brunt of the momentum of life and death outside the degree, and led the troops. "There will be a heart to die, and there is no greed for life", Gongsun Jing's soldiers and horses were inspired, their morale was greatly boosted, and they all rushed to climb the city wall. At the moment, the southeast gate is about to be opened a gap. Beigong Ru was very anxious in his heart, but he couldn't show anything on his face, and secretly thought about countermeasures.

After a while, Beigong Ru said to Gongsun Long: "Brother Bozhuang, Brother Ling is going to turn things around and make a miraculous achievement." ”

When Gongsun Long heard this, his face turned pale, he lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and then ordered: 'Collect the troops!' 'Zhengzhong Beigong is as follows.

Over there, Gongsun Jingzheng was hitting Xing's head, and suddenly heard that Mingjin had withdrawn his troops, and was greatly annoyed, but he had no choice but to order to stop the siege and return to the camp.

After coming back, Gongsun Jing asked angrily, "Why did the eldest brother order the troops to be collected?" ”

Gongsun Long blushed and said, "Ben Shuai has other plans. ”

Gongsun threw the knife to the ground and shouted, "This battle can't be fought." With that, he rode away.

Beigong Ru took the opportunity to add fuel and vinegar to the side and whispered: "There is no one in your eyes like this." Gongsun Long's face became even more ugly.

At night, Beigong Ru asked Zhao Jingzhi to pretend to lie on the bed, Yu Mo quietly led the horse, carefully helped Beigong Ru to get on the horse, and asked, "Shizi, are you okay?" ”

Beigong Ru smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can hold on." ”

Beigong Ru took advantage of the night to come to Jinping City, showed the token, and was brought to Xu Shaobin. Xu Shaobin was surprised and delighted when he saw Beigong Ru, Beigong Ru told him like this, Xu Shaobin hurriedly ordered someone to prepare.

said that over there, Gongsun Jing had always suspected that Beigong was making trouble from it today, so that the siege was abandoned halfway. It was he who led the troops to patrol the night tonight, and he wanted to explore the reality of Beigong Ru.

Gongsun Jing came to the north palace and said through the curtain: "I came to visit the prince in Xiate." Then he opened the curtain and walked in.

Yu Mo hurriedly ran out, blocked Gongsun Jing out of the curtain with a smile and said, "My family has just taken medicine and fallen asleep. Inconvenient to disturb. Gongsun Jing heard that there seemed to be a snoring sound inside, so he stupidly led the troops to other places.

Yu Mo was in a hurry, the hour was not early, and Beigong Ru had not come back yet. If this Gongsun Jing comes back and breaks in with an iron heart, it will be a big deal. He really couldn't sit still, so he walked outside the camp, thinking that it would be good to be able to pick up Beigong Ru. After a while, he saw Beigong from a distance leading a horse and carefully approaching the tent, and Yu Mo breathed a sigh of relief and put his mind at ease.

No, as soon as the two met, Yu Mo saw Gongsun Jing patrolling from behind Beigong Ru. There is nowhere to hide at this time, if he is bumped into by Gongsun Jing here, then it will be difficult to justify himself if he has already slept by deducing that Beigong has slept.

At the last moment, Yu Mo was in a hurry, took out the horse whip on his waist, and hit Beigong Ru with his head and face, Beigong Ru realized that there was a situation, and hurriedly knelt on his knees, covered his head with his hands, and kept begging for mercy.

Yu Mo whipped like rain, and scolded angrily: "Things that don't grow, how many times have I said that the horses of the prince have to eat night food every day." If I don't come out to see, you're lazy again. ”

After that, there was another whipped up. Gongsun Jing passed by them, and when he saw this, he didn't suspect that the person who was beaten would be Beigong Ru, so he looked at it coldly and walked over.

When the two returned to the tent, Yu Mo immediately knelt down and said, "The son of the world forgives my sins, I am the last resort." ”

Beigong Ru hurriedly helped him up, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, you are clever enough, otherwise you really can't hide it tonight." ”

Only then did the two of them tell Zhao Jingzhi about the thrill just now, and he couldn't help but be afraid. Zhao Jingzhi saw that Beigong Ru's face was flushed, and he touched his forehead, which was actually hot, and hurriedly went to decoct the medicine for Beigong Ru to take.

Beigong said weakly to Yu Mo: "Starting tomorrow, you are careful to spread the news in the army, saying that the Wing King will personally lead the troops to quell the chaos on the same day, and the vanguard is the Beidi cavalry." Remember to speak of Domu's team as godlike. Yu Mo nodded yes.
