Chapter Eighty-Eight: Defending the City (4)
Back at the barracks, Zhao Xun immediately arranged for someone to unload the things in the barracks warehouse, and entered the big tent with a stern face.
"Zhao Ning, you and Qingshan will go back to my house with me in a while, we will discuss the arrangements for tomorrow's battle, and we must also make some preparations secretly, so as not to be killed by the enemy at that time, but die in the hands of your own people, it will be too wrong." Zhao Xun said coldly.
"What? Are you saying that someone is trying to assassinate us? Damn, we didn't do this for Yanzhou City, there were still people who wanted to assassinate us! My lord, why don't you deal with him now, and I'll see who dares to provoke us. Zhao Qingshan said angrily.
Zhao Ning also frowned and said, "My lord, did you notice something?" ”
Zhao Xun said: "I suspect that if you go out of the city tomorrow, no matter whether you win or lose, it will be difficult to return to the city, just like the people in the city today, and the reason is also very good, sacrifice a small part to protect the entire Yanzhou City." Sima Yun is so generous today, it's a bit outrageous, even Wutong is surprised that we can get so many armor. Also, although the fat man seemed to be distressed about the materials, he was very indifferent in his eyes and didn't care how much we took. It seems that he wants us to fight to the death with the Tatars, which can not only eliminate us, but also severely damage the Tatars. It seems that our expression today is too much, and it is a little dissatisfying and frightening. ”
"My lord mean Sima Yun?" Zhao Ning said.
"Not only Sima Yun, there may be others involved, forget it, I'll go back first, I have two ideas in my heart, I'll discuss it for a while, and see how to act." Zhao Xun said with some uncertainty.
"The young master is back!" As soon as Zhao Xun entered the house, Ruyu greeted him with a smile, took off his cloak, and handed over a towel with a clear face.
"What's wrong with you? It's not too early, so let's get ready to eat! Zhao Xun looked at the women and frowned, and said with a smile.
"Husband, you should not fight in person tomorrow." Li Ruolan got up and came to Zhao Xun's side and said softly.
Zhao Xun smiled: "What? Worried I'll be defeated tomorrow? Rest assured, I will not be in danger of winning or losing the battle of tomorrow. ”
"Really?"
"Absolutely!"
"Then I'll go out of town with you tomorrow!" Li Ruolan looked at Zhao Xun fixedly and said.
"What? No, absolutely not! When Zhao Xun heard this, he immediately retorted.
"Why? Didn't you say there was no danger? Li Ruolan looked at Zhao Xun with suspicion, as if she was sure if Zhao Xun was only comforting herself before.
Zhao Xun rolled his eyes and said, "You still have a task to stay in the city, and you need to do it when the time comes." ”
"What task?"
"I'll know when the time comes, I've been busy for a while, I'm ready to eat, I'm starving!" Zhao Xun hurriedly diverted the topic.
"It's getting late, I should go back too, Brother Zhao, you ...... Be careful tomorrow! Su Ran listened to Zhao Xun shouting to eat, only then did he remember that it was dark and he had been staying for an afternoon, so he hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
"Wait a minute, I'll have something to discuss with your father later, you have dinner here now, and I'll go back with you later." Don't worry, I'll send someone to say hello to your father. ”
"That'...... All right! ”
At the Zhao Mansion dinner, Zhao Xun was not particularly particular, everyone sat together and ate the food without saying a word.
"Zhao Xun, why don't you ask me about my identity?" After eating, Li Xinyan couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Is there a difference between knowing and not knowing?" I know that Li Gongzi has a great background, but now even if you are the governor of Youzhou or the envoy of Youzhou, it will have no effect on me or Yanzhou City. identity, with the guarantee of strength, you have the qualification to be above everyone, otherwise, even if you are the emperor, no one will look up to you, otherwise, there will not be so many emperors who have been replaced. Zhao Xun said lightly.
Li Xinyan heard this, and didn't say anything for a long time, although he wanted to refute it, but he felt that Zhao Xun was very reasonable, which made her very aggrieved by her identity.
After eating, Zhao Xun took the guards and Su Ran and went straight to Su Mansion.
"Zhao Xun! It's only been a few days since you came to Yanzhou City, and my daughter has started to stop eating in the house! When Su Yun saw the two, he laughed.
"Daddy, why are you talking nonsense, Brother Zhao has something to discuss with you, and I just came back with dinner at Brother Zhao's. You talk about things, I'm going to rest. After saying that, he blushed and entered the house.
"Zhao Xun, do you have anything to discuss with me, you will go out of the city tomorrow to fight, are you sure? If not, you don't have to go out, anyway, if you go or not, they are going to attack the city. ”
Zhao Xun shook his head and said: "I dare not say it, but since I agreed in front of the public, I can't go back on my word." I'm not worried about the battle with the Tatars tomorrow, but I'm worried that I won't be able to go back after leaving the city. ”
"You mean ......"
"Well, I'm afraid they won't open the gates again and let me in."
"So what do you think? Seeing that you are not in a hurry at all, then you must have an idea. ”
Zhao Xun smiled: "It's not a good idea, I'm going to enter from Xicheng." ”
Su Yun said: "This is a solution, Xicheng is all guarded by my people, and there is no problem for you to enter from there." ”
Zhao Xun shook his head and said, "No, I'm also worried there." ”
Su Yun frowned and said, "What are you worried about?" You say they won't open the gates either? I'll give them orders. ”
Zhao Xun said: "Tomorrow, the adult will definitely watch the battle in the east city, and the west city will have Wutong and the battalion commander in charge, Wutong I am not worried, but his manpower is too small to control the situation, and the adult is not there, the battalion commander has given an order, and the people below will definitely obey." ”
Su Yun thought for a while, felt that Zhao Xun was right, and asked rhetorically, "Then what do you say?" ”
"Your Excellency can secretly check your own people in the battalion?"
"Of course, otherwise, would I dare to use them so wantonly? Of the three songs of the battalion, one of the songs that I can completely control zhì is, and the remaining two songs, although there are people, cannot be completely controlled, but as long as I give the order, they will still obey. ”
"My idea is that I let my people secretly infiltrate in the name of the guards of those who have been planted by the adults. The song that the adults are completely in control of, and most of the people who secretly replace me with it. Tomorrow, the cronies beside the Lord will personally go to Xicheng to give an order, and if anyone does not obey, then get rid of him, and by the way, he can also control the soldiers and horses under him. ”
Su Yun thought for a while, and said bluntly: "Okay, you can arrange it tomorrow, and I will let Steward Su pass the order." ”
"No, I'll change people tonight!"
Back in the mansion, Zhao Xun summoned Zhao Ning and Zhao Qingshan to discuss tomorrow's affairs.
"Zhao Ning, you will send three hundred people one after another to mix into the battalion soldiers on the west side of the camp, I will take the personal guard battalion to fight tomorrow, and your Nufeng battalion will stay in the west camp, and when I go out of the city, I will immediately bring people and the soldiers in the battalion of Lord Su into the city When I arrive in the west city, take the city gate and accept me into the city. You can shoot anyone in this matter, you don't have to spare your hands, and the Shadow Guard and the Blood Shadow Guard will cooperate with you. I, Zhao Xun, am not soft persimmons, if I want to pinch it, then I have to be ready to be pricked. ”
"However, can you just guard the battalion of 1,000 people?" Zhao Ning asked with some concern.
Zhao Xun said with a smile: "Tomorrow's battle, I will not fight with the other party, if the number is equal, I will fight, if the gap is too big, I will naturally leave." Your task is not easy, you must take Xicheng, the Nufeng battalion is all archers, it is not suitable to fight, it should be reasonable to stay in the big camp. After a while, the replaced battalion soldiers will live in our camp tent, giving people the illusion that the Angry Blade Battalion is staying in the big camp, and you can even let the few soldiers who stay behind to patrol around, which makes people believe that the Angry Blade Battalion is still in the big camp. ”
"Oh well! I will definitely take down the West City Gate and let the adults return safely. ”
"But don't worry too much, I still have a card, don't forget, Qi Yan's things are in my hands, including the method of contacting the Tatans, and I will also use these to get out if I have to."
Hearing Zhao Xun say this, Zhao Ning slightly let go of his nervous heart.
"Qingshan, you will go out of the city with me tomorrow, let the soldiers change into leather armor, leather shields or iron shields, and ride the best war horses, don't let the soldiers be careless."
After explaining, Zhao Ning and Zhao Qingshan left Zhao Mansion and took the West Camp with them.
At night, Zhao Xun naturally had a passion with Li Ruolan again, I don't know if it was because she was worried about Zhao Xun, Li Ruolan went all out to meet Zhao Xun's fierce impact, and many embarrassing postures were left to Zhao Xun to fiddle with, and for a while, Jiao Cheng gasped again and ......again.
After the passion, Li Ruolan curled up in Zhao Xun's arms, leaned on his chest, listened to his heartbeat, and said lonely: "Husband, you must come back safely tomorrow!" If...... If you have an accident, the concubine is willing to live and die with you! ”
Zhao Xun was moved in his heart, gently stroked Li Ruolan's smooth back, and said softly: "Lan'er, don't worry, your husband and I will never have an accident like this, I don't have a son yet, I can't let my Zhao family die...... Otherwise, we're working on it......"
"You're necrotic...... I'm down to business...... You...... Hmm............"
In the middle of the night, the West Camp Huolin Army station, people began to get busy, according to Zhao Xun and Su Yun's discussion, most of the soldiers of the third song of the battalion were unconsciously replaced by the Huolin Army, and the large camp of the Huolin Army was stationed with the soldiers of the Flying Bear Army under Su Yun.
At the same time, Wu Tong was also thinking about his own problems in his own house, whether to stand on the opposite side of Zhao Xun. Someone sent 50,000 taels today, so that Wutong could not move tomorrow. Although not very smart, he has already guessed some situations from it, and in this case, he needs to make a choice.
originally planned to act according to that person's request, but when he thought of Zhao Xun's appearance in Qingshan Town last time, his heart tightened: "No, even if Zhao Xun is not allowed to come in this time, there is Gushan Fort not far from Xicheng, and Zhao Xun will definitely look for me first if he retaliates in the future, I can't fight him, this guy must not be provoked, let's stand on Zhao Xun's side." What's more, with Zhao Xun's cleverness, how could he be defenseless? ”
