Chapter 118: Recuperate
Liu Yuan suddenly said in a solemn voice: "Could it be that this is the will of heaven? ”
"I also hope that the Red Emperor will bring me to the prosperity of Pei County." The third elder nodded, and it was difficult to hide the excitement in his tone.
Liu Yuan sighed deeply, he frowned and said: "Hey, at this moment, the county guard is levied, Pei County is in danger, is this Tianshu a fraud?" ”
"How could the Red Emperor doubt the Book of Heaven? Let's ask the Red Emperor, why does the book of heaven grow in the chicken? The three elders hurriedly persuaded them, they were also well-informed people, but it was the first time they had encountered a book in this egg, so they naturally did not doubt him.
"This ......" Liu Yuan was speechless, pretending not to know, "but now the situation is like this, the number of Pei troops is insufficient, and they cannot resist the continued attack of the Qin army." Then, he paused for a moment, and said in a low voice: "It would be nice if the people of Pei County could help." ”
"What did the Red Emperor say? Want people to help? The three elders glanced at each other, and hurriedly said: "If I can assist the Red Emperor, the people of Pei County will naturally not refuse." ”
When Liu Yuan heard this, he was overjoyed, and he was going to say the words of the three elders. Last night, I was so busy preparing the words in the egg, in order to build momentum as the son of the Red Emperor, so as to unite the hearts of the people. At this time, Liu Yuan got up and said: "Okay, with the words of the three elders, Pei County can also be prosperous." ”
Subsequently, the three elders of Pei County went out of the county office, and when the people saw Liu Yuan, they all saluted respectfully, and they said excitedly: "Pei Gong is the son of the Red Emperor, and we are willing to follow the Red Emperor." ”
"The Red Emperor should be happy!"
"Red Emperor, I am willing to join the Pei army to resist the Qin army's siege."
The third elder waved his hand, and everyone quieted down, "The Red Emperor has already said, Pei County should be prosperous!" ”
"Roar! Pei County is in the mood! The people immediately cheered, the Red Emperor is a man of heaven, and his words will naturally not be false, and these people are convinced.
"Although my Pei County is now besieging the city by the Qin army, Pei Gong is the son of the Red Emperor. Are you willing to fight for the Red Emperor? The third elder asked again.
"We do!"
Liu Yuan was satisfied, with the identity of the Red Emperor, these people were highly motivated, and he also took the opportunity to speak: "If you are willing to fight for me, you must obey the order!" ”
The people also nodded their heads and responded, "The words of the Red Emperor, I dare not disobey them." ”
"Very good!" Liu Yuan shouted, "Cao Shen listens to the order, distributes armor and blades, and you will follow me to the city!" ”
"No!"
In the backyard of Lu Mansion, Yu Ji also heard about the Red Emperor, her beautiful eyes were shining, and Liu Yuan became more and more mysterious. She muttered to herself: "The meaning of the Book of Heaven, the Red Emperor should be prosperous, and Pei Gong is unharmed." ”
Lu Taigong was injured, and he was also lying on the bed at this time, but his face could not hide his joy, "Red Emperor, my virtuous son-in-law turned out to be the Red Emperor, haha, my Lu Mansion is in trouble." ”
In the courtyard of the Yongjia family, since yesterday's battle, the vitality of the children of the Yong family has been greatly damaged, and the elder of the Yong family shouted: "Quick, go to the city tower, even if there are only women and children left in my Yong family, you must follow the Red Emperor." ”
"No!" The only remaining twenty strong men of the Yong family went to the battlefield of the city tower again, this time it was different from yesterday, they wanted to join the Pei army and fight with the Red Emperor.
The elder of the Yong family said in a low voice: "Yongya, Pei Gong is the son of the Red Emperor, and my Yong family will be prosperous in the future." You can rest assured that the clan will not forget you. I have put your tablet in the ancestral hall, and I am listed with the ancestors. ”
Outside Pei County, the county guard Chen Tong led the troops again, when he saw that there were many thieves on the city tower, Chen Tongxin was surprised, and secretly said that the people of Pei County dared to resist. He angrily rebuked and said, "I am angry, a group of foolish people, when the city is broken, I will slaughter it all." ”
"The county supervisor is flat, and the plan of dividing the troops is still feasible. This time, you will lead the troops to conquer Simon, and I will personally command this front today. Chen Tong did not procrastinate, and immediately ordered,
The offensive of the Qin army started again, and the reaction of the Pei army was not slow, the Qin army occupied the city tower many times, and even for a period of time, the Pei army had been defeated and retreated. Fortunately, Cao Shen, Da Niu, Lu Ze and others suddenly broke out, and they defended the city tower. As for Ximen, Liu Yuan handed it over to Xiao He, and the county supervisor Ping also did not get any benefits.
At the end of the battle on the third day, in the camp of the Qin army, Chen Tong said sharply: "A Pei County is so difficult, what does this make me face?" ”
"County guard, there are more than 3,500 people left in our army, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to fight anymore." The county supervisor said in a low voice.
When Chen Tong heard this, he also had a headache, he thought about it, and then said: "Our army has suffered heavy losses, and the traitors are even more so. ”
"But our army's food and grass are less than two days." This is where the county supervisor is worried. "If Pei County cannot be captured within two days, our soldiers will starve."
"Where's the grain and grass? Why didn't Juncheng send rice and grain? Chen Tong glared at the county supervisor and scolded.
"Juncheng is on the way, and I heard that he met bandits, so there was a bit of a delay."
"Bandits?" Chen Tong mocked: "What's the use of him, just a few bandits can delay the food and grass of my army." ”
The situation in Surabaya County is getting more and more chaotic, and many places have not been completely suppressed, so it is also appropriate for the county to be cautious. But now that Chen Tong is angry, the county supervisor will naturally not touch this brow to defend the county Cheng.
"Then take two hundred men to meet you, and make sure that you deliver the grain and grass to the camp within two days." Chen Tong knew the importance of grain and grass, and while he was angry, he also began to arrange. "In addition, the herald ordered the army to rest for two days. Now the morale of our army has plummeted, and we have taken advantage of the fact that the grain and grass have not yet arrived, so that we can rest and recuperate. ”
The county supervisor Ping posted: "What the county guard said is very true, I will arrange it." Out of the big tent, the county supervisor Ping first conveyed the order to rest, and then he personally ordered two hundred elite soldiers out of the camp to the rear to meet the county Cheng's food delivery team.
When the county lieutenant Feng Ze saw the county supervisor leaving the camp, he also knew that there was a problem with the grain and grass. He immediately wrote a letter, and then called his personal guard, asking the latter to send the silk secret letter to Zhao Gao of the county government as soon as possible. "Heh, if you lose this battle, it is also your responsibility to Chen Tong." It turned out that in that secret letter, he accused Chen Tong, but Feng Ze didn't know that Chen Tong's allegiance was not Xianyang at all.
The next day, the Qin army did not attack the city, and Liu Yuan was also puzzled, but this also allowed the Pei army to get a rest. In such a high-intensity battle, many soldiers were already physically and mentally exhausted, Liu Yuan made meat soup to warm up the soldiers, and at the same time sent cavalry to inquire about the movements and news of the Qin army.
There was no accident during the day, late at night, Liu Yuan was woken up, Cao Shen was already waiting in the lobby, seeing Liu Yuan coming, Cao Shen hurriedly reported: "Lord, I just got the news of the cavalry, and the grain transportation team of the Qin army was found in Pei County. ”
"Grain convoy?" Liu Yuan suddenly said, "Could it be that the Qin army is short of food?" ”
