Chapter 127: Prelude to the Siege

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Gongsun Xuanxu, who served as the chief historian, also arrived outside Dongkou Town with Zhang Meng, Xin Luyin and other departments.

The thieves in Dongkou Town didn't expect that the official army actually had reinforcements, and there were so many people coming! Not to mention the small 3,000 forbidden troops, there are 5,000 people and nearly 1,000 large and small grain trucks.

Immediately, more than thirty minions were frightened, and they immediately opened the town gate from the south gate or the north gate and fled.

Zhao Yu, who happened to greet Gongsun Xuanxu nearby, saw that it was a real name, and his face showed a crying and laughing expression. This rabble is really a rabble, and it is no wonder that there are thousands of people, all of whom only dare to attack such a town as Dongkou Town. There are four or five hundred regular troops stationed in ordinary county towns, plus township soldiers and township warriors, thousands of people are normal.

Attacking the county town with this kind of morale, I am afraid that on the first day of attack, there will be deserters.

Zhao Yu instructed Li Lizhong, who was half a position behind him: "Send out a scout, catch a few of these deserters, and interrogate the situation in Dongkou Town!" ”

Although the bullback thief seemed very incompetent, Zhao Yu still did not despise the other party, after all, it doesn't matter what the bullback thief says, there are now four thousand people. Sensei said that there are 4,000 small people, even if it is 4,000 small pigs, it is enough for you to slaughter them.

Chong Shiheng asked for orders on the side: "Lord Wang, please leave the matter of interrogating the captives to the last general!" ”

As soon as Zhao Yu wanted to agree, Gongsun Xuanxu, who had already come up to him, had already smiled and said, "How can such a trivial matter be judged?" It's okay to let the poor road come, but it's going to attack the city this afternoon and build siege weapons, and it seems that the poor road can only be judged! ”

Zhao Yu also felt that it made sense, the one who had fought under his command was just a kind of Shiheng alone! Others have been in a fight at best. And building siege equipment is a technical job, and you can't be sloppy!

Turning his head to look at Chong Shiheng, Zhao Yu said: "Zhong Ping, this little matter of interrogating the captive, I really don't need to trouble you!" I'll leave it to Mr. Xuanxu. It's the matter of building siege equipment, and it's going to be hard for you! We're going to attack this afternoon, and we need to build it faster. ”

Chong Shiheng frowned slightly in his heart, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction, and hugged his fists and said, "The last general will obey the order!" ”

-Gongsun Xuanxu saw that Chong Shiheng had retired, he also smiled and shook the dust, and said: "So poor Dao also went down to prepare, farewell!" ”

After the two left, Qian Yanyuan couldn't help but say: "Lord Wang, it seems that there is something wrong with the general judgment of the seed (Shiheng) and the long history of Gongsun. ”

Even Qian Yanyuan felt it, how could Zhao Yu know nothing?

Zhao Yu looked at Dongkou Town in the distance, and said helplessly: "Zhongping is not optimistic about this king, even if he does his best in making suggestions, but in doing practical things, he deliberately chooses the easy ones to do." Mr. Xuanxu naturally wants to help this king! I'm just afraid that even if Zhongping is recovered, the relationship between the two advisors under the command of this king in the future will not be too good! ”

Qian Yanyuan was stunned, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. In fact, Qian Yanyuan is optimistic about Zhao Yu's forehead? It's just that Qian Yanyuan's background and energy determine that even if Qian Yanyuan does things honestly, he will not have a chance to get on top. Moreover, he felt that Zhao Yu dared to break the shackles, so he decided to follow Zhao Yu, even if it was just for a while, it was better than a life of ignorance.

Zhao Yu glanced at Qian Yanyuan meaningfully, and said: "10,000 years is too long, this king only seizes the day!" Zigao, what do you think of this? ”

Qian Yanyuan also completely relaxed his heart, and said with a smile: "The words of the prince are exactly the thoughts in the hearts of the lower officials!" ”

Back in the tent, Zhao Yu unexpectedly saw Cui Niannu and the long-legged girl, but this was not the most unexpected thing called Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu also saw a woman dressed like a long-legged girl, judging from her appearance, she was probably five or six years older than the long-legged girl, and her figure was plump.

"The concubine has seen the prince!"

"The slave and maid have seen the prince!"

Cui Niannu waited for a salute, Zhao Yu helped Cui Niannu up, touching the snow-white and flawless, warm and jade-like hands, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a flutter.

"Niannu, you are looking for this king, but what is the matter?" Zhao Yu let go of his hand and asked with an unnatural expression.

"The concubine heard that the prince was not sleeping at the front line, and I didn't know the taste of it, so I specially boiled red dates and ginseng chicken soup with the effect of condensing qi and calming the nerves, I hope the prince likes it." Cui Niannu said with a little pleading.

"Good!" Zhao Yu promised.

Li Lizhong stepped forward and took the bamboo basket from the long-legged girl.

Cui Niannu looked at Zhao Yu with mournful eyes and asked, "Lord Wang, don't you drink it now?" Chicken broth should be served hot. After time, even if it makes people warm, the effect is not so good! ”

Li Lizhong hesitated, took a step forward, and said, "Madam, the prince has a lot of important military affairs to deal with, plus the prince has already eaten a piece of baked cake just now, I'm afraid he won't have the appetite to eat anything else." If nothing else, the last general dared to ask the lady to go back to the tent to rest first! ”

Zhao Yu knew Li Lizhong's suspicions, he was afraid that Cui Niannu was a member of the Maitreya Sect and would poison it. This poison will not be an acute poison such as arsenic, but some chronic poison. The simplest, such as mercury and the like, eat a little every day, and it does not need to poison a person, and the person who is poisonous enough is weak in his limbs and mentally declines.

Cui Niannu didn't leave, nor did he speak, just looked at Zhao Yu with his eyes. The slightly empty eyes were full of sadness. Obviously, Cui Niannu is also aware of Zhao Yu's feelings for her, after all, as long as she is a normal person, she can find that the other party is respectful of her.

Zhao Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and instructed Li Lizhong: "You don't need to take it out and put it away, open it, this king will drink it now!" ”

"But Lord Wang, I just sent an urgent ......" Li Lizhong was anxious.

Zhao Yu shook his head slowly, but very firmly, and said, "Things are always incomplete, you can hand over that document to the general judgment to deal with." This soup was specially made by the lady for the king, how could the king break the heart of the lady? ”

Li Lizhong reluctantly opened the bamboo basket, and there was a cup of chicken soup and chopsticks in it. The long-legged girl stepped forward, took over Li Lizhong's work, poured a bowl for Zhao Yu herself, and brought it to Zhao Yu, her eyes wandering.

Zhao Yu was a little surprised, after all, his wife was next door, so he took it over as if nothing had happened, and drank it all in one go.

Cui Niannu's face immediately bloomed with a heartfelt smile, it was very beautiful, and at this moment, it seemed that the sun had become dark.
