The next morning, when Shi Kefa went to the city again, his eyes were bloodshot and the corners of his mouth were blistered.

It's not just because he was ridiculed by Yu Guozhen last night, but after he went back, he reflected that he was indeed unstable. As the four prefectures are guarded, the safety of the whole body is related to the overall situation of the imperial court to suppress the thief, and occasionally at the critical moment, he can personally risk the arrow stone once, which can boost morale, but as soon as the thief Kou Fu attacked the city, he couldn't bear the surname to rush up, at best, it is not a handsome talent, and it is a stunned young man at worst!

In vain, he has read the sage books for so many years, but he is not as good as Yu Guozhen, who is only half his age!

What really made Shi Kefa sleep unstable at night was the thief. Last night, the thieves had to make a fuss almost every half an hour, and every time they beat gongs and drums, making the entire Wuwei City noisy.

Seeing Sun Xian sleeping sweetly in a bunk at the head of the city, Shi Kefa was a little jealous in his heart, and he couldn't wait to drive him up and sleep by himself.

Yan Jue's eyes were also red, and when he saw him and Luo Zhimei going to the city, he leaned over and said: "The thieves were all pretending to be lenient last night, and the sinners kept watch all night, but fortunately nothing happened." ”

"That's it, I'm ordering you to go and rest first......"

Shi Kefa waved his hand, and had the intention to go to Yu Guozhen's side to probe again, but after all, he still didn't have this face.

Fortunately, at this moment, Zhang Pu staggered over, Shi Kefa suddenly felt that this person was cute, he was faceless and skinless anyway, and he happened to deal with Yu Jimin's snarky person.

"Brother Daolin, I was tossed and bitter last night." Zhang Pu smiled and said, "Fortunately, I stayed at Yu Jimin's side and learned a method from him, you see." ”

He reached out and held out two cotton balls in his hand, which he shoved his ears in, and laughed.

Zhang Pu knew very well in his heart that the entire Wuwei City was the safest by Yu Guozhen's side, so he refused the hospitality of Luo Zhimei of Zhizhou, and slept in Yu Guozhen's accommodation, saying that he wanted to learn the art of war with Yu Guozhen at night, but in fact, the idea was that if Wuwei was really in danger, Yu Guozhen wanted to escape, and he had to take him with him. Rao is Shi Kefa felt that he was thick-skinned, but he definitely didn't expect him to be so wishful thinking.

"Tianru, what does Yu Jimin say today?"

"Oh, he said, let me persuade my neighbor to play chess, just wait for the children to break the thief."

When Shi Kefa heard this, he was stunned, this is an allusion borrowed from Xie An in the Battle of Weishui, but how could Yu Guozhen's dog spit out ivory in his mouth, and when did he say something so good?

Looking at Zhang Pu's face again, Shi Kefa suddenly understood that these words had obviously been changed by Zhang Pu.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, okay, I won't annoy people in the city today, it just so happens that I didn't sleep well last night, I'll go back and make up for sleep......"

He really went back to make up for sleep, and after thinking about it all night, he really wanted to open it, and this matter of defending the city should be handed over to Yu Guozhen, anyway, if Yu Guozhen can't keep it, he Shi Kefa will definitely not be able to hold it.

He slept well this night, and when he woke up, he picked up the cotton ball, heard the shouting of killing in the north and south gates, searched his intestines and scraped his stomach for a while, and did not squeeze out a poem, and finally gave up this elegant surname, sent someone to recruit Zhang Pu, and the two really started to talk.

The sound of fighting outside was intermittent, and the two listened while playing chess, and after a game, Zhang Pu smiled and said: "It's rare, Dao Neighbor, you really don't care about the outside world?" ”

"If you don't care, it's just that the military strategy is not my forte, so it's better not to bring humiliation on yourself." Shi Kefa sighed.

"Senator Shi, the thief is cunning, he has been storming the north and south gates since yesterday, and this is the case today." Yan Jue, the magistrate of Chao' County, appeared again at this time: "The sinner thinks that there must be fraud among them, and the east and west gates are the real places where the thieves want to attack!" ”

When he appeared, his face was even more withered than in the morning, Shi Kefa looked at him like this, and his heart was slightly unbearable, after all, they were all reading seeds, although he did have carelessly lost his nest, but since then he has been trying to try to remedy it.

"Strict order, you haven't stopped?"

"The sinners have lost their nests, and fortunately, Senator Shi has not punished the crime, how dare he not make meritorious contributions without guilt?" Yan Jue said: "The sinners have just come down from the city. ”

"Then in your opinion, where will the rogues attack the city from?"

"There must be one of the two gates."

Shi Kefa threw down the chess pieces, got up with his back hand, turned around the yard twice, and then said to Zhang Pu: "Tianru, I'm afraid that this matter will bother you again." ”

"I am willing to serve my neighbors." Zhang Pu understood what he meant, got up and smiled and walked away.

It didn't take long for him to come back again, his face was still calm and clear, and he looked like a celebrity: "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission." ”

"What does he say?"

"He said that he was very grateful for the guidance and almost overlooked."

Shi Kefa laughed, pointed at Zhang Pu and said: "Tianru, Tianru, you just deceive me, Yu Jimin will say this?" Let me think about it, he must have had that kind of smile on his face and sneered......"

Zhang Pu also laughed, this matter, everyone knows it, Shi Daolin will expose it, after all, the city is not deep.

If it were Zhou Yanru and Qian Qianyi, it would not be like this...... Shi Kefa, as the backbone of Donglin, has a big gap compared to these predecessors, and even Fang Yizhi's father, Fang Fang Kongzhi, can't compare to him.

It was already noon when Zhang Pu came back, they had a not sumptuous lunch, and then they continued to play chess in the afternoon, and then heard that Yu Guozhen let the defenders of the city take turns to rest by attacking the city. Hearing Yu Guozhen's orderly arrangement, Shi Kefa had to praise again: "Between the lines, Yu Jimin can be described as cautious. ”

In the afternoon, the thieves continued to attack from the north and south cities, and they attacked three or four times, and in one day they threw down more than a thousand corpses, while the casualties in the city were less than 100. In the fierce battle, more than 2,000 enemies were killed, and their own casualties were only one-eighth of the enemy's, which gave Shi Kefa and others great confidence in defending Wuwei City.

In the middle of the night, the thieves made two more feints, and seeing that the city was always heavily guarded, they finally fell silent and stopped attacking the city. Shi Kefa also learned Zhang Pu's method and plugged his ears with cotton balls, so he slept quite soundly.

But in the second half of the night, Shi Kefa was suddenly awakened by violent shaking. When he opened his eyes, there were already torches around him, and under the light of the torches, a ghostly face, with fear and panic, appeared in his sight.

That's the nest's county order Yan Jue.

Shi Kefa was still in a trance at the beginning, only to see Yan Jue's mouth opening and closing rapidly, like a fish in the water, but he didn't make any sound. Soon he realized what the problem was and pulled out the cotton ball in his ear.

This time, there was no need for Yan Jue to explain, he also knew what was going on. Because of a thunderous cannon sound, it came to the ears from the east, and the thieves began to attack the city again.

Orient?

He suddenly remembered Yan Jue's warning during the day, and his heart suddenly felt awe-inspiring.

"Strict order, the thieves are attacking the city?"

"The thieves attacked the city, the thieves really attacked from the east city, they first attacked the north and south cities, the defenders thought it was a feint, but found that the thieves were really attacking the city, and hurriedly went into battle, but the thieves still attacked the east and west, and actually smuggled the cannon to the east gate, and now the east gate ditch has been filled, and the thieves bombarded the door with cannons, this city, this city...... Can't hold it! ”

When Yan Jue said this, his voice was very sad, if he could make a contribution when defending the city of Wuwei, he might be able to atone for his sins, but if Wuwei was also broken, he would really be finished.

"Go ahead...... Come on, serve me and dress. Shi Kefa was in a hurry and was about to run out, but he took two steps barefoot and turned back: "I want to be in court." ”

"Senator Shi!" Yan Jue was anxious.

"Strict order, you also change into court clothes, it's nothing more than death, why be afraid?" Shi Kefa was helpless at this time, all he could do was wait for death, he sighed: "As an official of the imperial court, you must always have the body of an official, you are so anxious, you really lose the true character of a scholar." ”

Without waiting for Yan Jue to reply, Shi Kefa said to Shi Yu who was waiting next to him: "Shi Yu, you are the most loyal to me, if a thief enters the yamen, you kill me first, and Hugh teaches me to fall into the head of the thief and be humiliated by the thief, this matter is the most important, remember, remember!" ”

Although he said this awe-inspiring temperament, he put his personal integrity above the safety of the city, thinking that his personal integrity was more important than the survival of the city. Shi Yu didn't think about it this way, but he felt that the image of his master was extremely tall in an instant, and he could be the same as Yue Wumu and Wen Tianxiang in the previous dynasty. He knelt down and kowtowed again and again: "Why is this the master, there are still elite officers and soldiers in the city now, isn't there still Yu Guozhen, he lost the city, he always has to personally lead the elite to protect the lord to get out, the lord is not inert for the state, and he has never had the responsibility of defending the land, please stay for the useful body!" ”

Shi Kefa sighed and shook his head: "The imperial court supports us and other officials, and we can't all run away in front of the thieves, so we have to save some loyalty and righteousness for the imperial court...... I've made up my mind...... What about Wang Dingguo and Bao Wenda? ”

"Those two don't know where they are, and the master is not a martial artist, why should he die with the city?"

There was a cry all around, Shi Kefa was still calm, his expression remained unchanged: "It's a pity, Zhang Tianru is not here, strictly order, you change your clothes and come to talk to me about a game." ”

Yan Jue stomped his feet, he escaped from Chao' County, and he had a set of official uniforms on his body, where was there any clothes to change, but after a while, Luo Zhimei, the governor of Wuwei Prefecture, also ran over angrily: "The city is broken, the east gate is broken!" ”

"Luo Zhizhou, you come to talk with me, the court treats you and I am not thin, and you must not lose the dignity of the court at this time." Shi Kefa said safely.

Luo Zhimei couldn't, so she could only sit at the table with him, and the two played Go. Shi Kefa was calm, but Luo Zhimei couldn't even hold the chess pieces, her hands couldn't stop shaking, and she kept listening, only to hear the sound of killing at the east gate, but she didn't know what the situation was over there.

Finally, one of Jia Taiji's errand officers ran in, this errand was sent by Luo Zhimei to inquire about the details after hearing the news, and when he came back, his face was happy, and he knelt down as soon as he came in: "My lords, the thieves broke the east gate, but they were blocked in the urn city, Yu Guanren's strategy is really mysterious, the urn city is narrow, the thieves are not allowed to maneuver, the front is not allowed to enter, and the back is not allowed to retreat, and now there are countless dead and wounded!" ”
