Chapter 35: Hold On!
In the face of the Dajin envoys who kept coming to lobby, Zu Dashou replied with two words: "Dream!" Approaching dusk, Zu Dashou scolded the last messenger who came to lobby, tore Huang Taiji's letter to shreds, and asked the grain official who had just come up: "How many days can the grain in the city last?" β
"If you go back to the general army, it will be enough for 30,000 people to last for five days."
"Five days?" Zu Dashou sighed in his heart, "Didn't you say that you could last for a month?" How come there are only five days left? β
"It's true that there are only five days of food left." The grain officer replied.
Zu Dashou frowned, "Pass the order, and from tomorrow, stop providing food to those people."
"No way!" Yang Fan, who was on the side, immediately stood up and objected, "It's okay to kill horses and eat meat, but you can't stop supplying food." At this time, stability is more important than anything else. If the people's food and wages are stopped, not only will the people's morale be chaotic, but the morale of the army will also be chaotic. Feeding cannot be stopped. β
Zu Dashou was already a little anxious. "If this fog is not good, is it difficult to starve to death? Do you really think that you are the Zhuge Liang, can you borrow the east wind? β
Yang Fan's eyes were firm and said, "The fog will come." β
The twenty-second day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar
It's already the twenty-second day. Yang Fan walked around the city more and more frequently. Everywhere he went, he would sit down and talk about what he didn't have, so as to distract the people and the soldiers from their tension and anxiety.
"Lao Hong, what's wrong?" Yang Fan looked at Lao Hong, who had secretly pulled him down in the corner, and didn't know what this old man was going to do.
"Lord Xiao Yang, if you tell me the truth, won't you be able to hold on." Lao Hong looked left and right, for fear of being heard by others.
Yang Fan leaned on the wall with one hand and said, "Why do you think so?" β
"Lao Hong, I count meters every day. From the beginning of a full bucket, to now almost less than half a bucket. If there is no food, he will not break through, it seems that this time the dog slave has made a bloody investment. Lao Hong gritted his teeth and said.
"Why, is there not enough food to eat? Half a bucket is not enough, so I will give you mine. Yang Fan handed a millet bag to Lao Hong.
Lao Hong stopped his hand, said no, and said, "Lord Yang has misunderstood. I know it's not easy for you, for so many days, my old Hong has seen it in his eyes. The three buckets of millet here are saved by my frugality, your life is worth more than mine, and you take these three buckets of rice. Lao Hong's eyebrows were lowered, and he never looked at Yang Fan.
Yang Fan's eyelids jumped slightly, "Lao Hong, raise your head." Let's not talk about whether we will die or not, this human life is not valuable. Remember, one breathes to live. Don't make me look flat. β
"But ......"
"But what? Show the courage you had with the firecracker! As I said, we're not going to die. Soon, reinforcements will soon come. Believe me! β
Lao Hong's red eyes sprouted, no one had ever respected and trusted him so much. He used all his strength to nod vigorously.
Yang Fan smiled and patted Lao Hong's shoulder, "This is the Lao Hong I know!" β
On this day, Yang Fan, who had just come out of the granary, finally showed a long-lost smile on his face, and muttered: "It's fast, it's fast!" β
The long-awaited mobilization meeting was held again in the center of the city. The participants this time were still all the staff, and they all sat around Yang Fan. Yang Fan's amplified iron cylinder said, "Everyone, I know. For more than 20 days, you have wondered if we are surrounded. Isn't it almost running out of ammunition? β
"I think, before I explain the situation, let me tell you a passage."
It is said that in Zhuge Liang's sixth trip out of Qishan, because Eastern Wu also marched from the southeast to Hefei and other places in Wei at this time, Sima Yi knew his strength after several encounters with Zhuge Liang, and the Lord of Wei also ordered Sima Yi to stick to it without fighting.
So the two armies held each other in Weinan for a long time, and because the Shu army came from afar, it could not fight for a long time. So Zhuge Liang wanted to use a strategy to introduce Sima Yi into the upper valley, and then use the flammable substances prepared in advance to burn Sima Yi's people and horses alive in the upper valley.
When Wei Yan introduced Sima Yi and others into the upper valley, the upper valley was burned by the flammable substances prepared by the Shu army, and Sima Yi and others were about to be buried in the fire.
Sima Yi and the others also escaped by luck. Zhuge Liang, who was on the valley above, couldn't help but sigh deeply when he saw this situation: "It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen." Don't be strong! β
"My lord, I've heard this book. In the battle of the upper valley, Mr. Zhuge miscalculated, and as a result, God favored Sima Yi, soaked in urine, and extinguished the live. β
"Haha, this soaked urine, it is estimated that Mr. Zhuge is also black-faced."
Yang Fan saw that this ridiculous atmosphere spread, and his heart was overjoyed, and said, "Now, we are besieging Linghe City. I can tell you that there are 50,000 gold soldiers outside. They had expected us to starve to death in the city. β
Everyone who originally listened to the story was shocked, 50,000? The people in the city add up to 30,000, how can they hold it?
"I know your hearts must be sinking and you don't feel hopeless. But, trust me. God will take care of us! Within three days, there will be heavy fog. There will only be reinforcements to help. We are Sima Yi who is besieged in the upper valley, if you give up hope at this time, then God will be disgusted with you! β
Yang Fan put down the iron microphone and said, "Insist, as long as you hold on for three days." Then there will be a miracle! A heavy fog will fall from the sky, blinding the enemy. β
Zu Dashou, who was standing in the corner, squatted down, holding his nose like a vulgar old man. He Kegang on the side also squatted down and asked, "Chief soldier, do you believe it?" β
"Faith! In this world, in addition to the Bodhisattva, Lao Tzu believes in him Yang Fan. Is there any way, every time I have a special grandmother, press Lao Tzu's life on the gambling table to make a bet, Lao Tzu doesn't believe him, who does he believe? Zu Dashou flicked his nose and left the center of the city with an ugly face.
"Where are you going?"
"Where to go? Write a suicide note! Zu Dashou said with a big grin, and walked into his house without looking back.

"Holy Lord, now that Linghe City has been besieged for nearly a month, Wu Xiang, the chief soldier of Jinzhou, has asked to send troops to relieve the siege."
Zhu Youzhen raised his eyebrows and said, "What, it's been a month of siege?" What did he Wu Xiang do to eat, why didn't he report it early? 10,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry are still guarding Linghe City? Zhu Youzhen's heart trembled, 50,000, how to fight?
Sun Chengzong came out and said, "The saint is angry. Wu Xiang's military intelligence to his ministers mentioned that it was Zu Dashou, the chief soldier of Liaoxi, who asked him to do this. β
"Is there anything wrong with his ancestor's birthday?" Zhu Youzhen directly burst into foul language, "Or do you want to let those Jiannu go hungry for a month?" β
"Minister, I don't know. However, Wu Xiang's recital has already been presented to His Majesty. "Sun Chengzong really doesn't know this time. What the hell are his two subordinates secretly doing, he really can't guess.
"Bring it on!"
The eunuch on the side said: "Obey!" He handed it over. Zhu Youzhen hurriedly grabbed the fold and flipped through it.
"Quasi-play, quasi-concert! Hurry up and draft an order and ask Wu Xiang to quickly reinforce and relieve the siege. β
