Chapter 411 Give Up?
At the head of Yanshi City, the soldiers were nervously arranging defenses, Pei Renji and other generals were also commanding, only Wan He and a round-looking official stood on the head of the city and had nothing to do. The round-looking official is called Wang Zhang, who is the Taishou of this Yanshi City, that is, the official who supported Yang Dong as Yang Gongqing said. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Hearing that Wan He suddenly came to Yanshi City, this Wang Zhang immediately ran out of the city to greet him, who is this Wan He? That's the youngest prince of the dynasty! He is the most powerful supporter of Wang Zhang's master, Yang Tong! Wang Zhang doesn't have much ability, but he can be sent to be a party guard, relying on his good eyesight and ability to pat horses, when he sees Wanhe coming, how can he not come to pat the horse's ass? But as soon as he walked out of the city gate and saw the endless grain transportation team behind Wan He, Wang Zhang was immediately dumbfounded! When he heard Wanhe explain that the grain was transported from Luokou Cang, and there were thieves from Wagangzhai chasing behind, Wang Zhang was suddenly so frightened that his legs and stomach were weak, and he trembled for a while, and almost fell down!
Wan He didn't pay attention to this Wang Zhang, since the city gates were opened, Wan He didn't say a word, and waved his hand directly, which was to let the soldiers transport food into the city. Soon, Pei Xingyan and Luo Shixin also led the Royal Forest Army to return victoriously, and Wan He simply handed over the command of the army to Pei Renji.
At the head of the city, watching Pei Renji methodically commanding several generals to deploy defenses at the head of the city, Wan He yawned a little boredly. Wan He didn't know anything about these things, and he didn't have the energy to learn them, but he turned around and asked Yang Gongqing behind him: "Has the letter for help been sent to the Eastern Capital?" ”
Yang Gongqing immediately took a step forward and said, "Eldest young master, please rest assured, my subordinates have sent the most powerful subordinates to deliver the letter, and the letter will be delivered to the Eastern Capital in no later than two days!" ”
Hearing Yang Gongqing's answer, Wan He was also a little relieved, and Pei Renji also judged based on the results of Pei Xingyan and Luo Shixin that the enemy's soldiers and horses should be around 50,000! And there are fierce generals like Xu Shiji to play the striker, so the commander of the Wagangzhai thieves who came to pursue this time is either Li Mi or Shan Xiongxin! With such a lineup, I am afraid that even if there is a wall of Yanshi City as a cover, it will be difficult to defend, but fortunately, it is not far from the eastern capital Luoyang, and there is enough food in the city, so it can be dragged to the eastern capital to rush to the reinforcements! Therefore, as soon as Wan He arrived in Yanshi City, he had already written a letter asking for help, including Wan He's tokens, and asked Yang Gongqing to send someone to Luoyang as soon as possible, looking forward to the reinforcements coming as soon as possible.
"That ......" Behind Wan He, Wang Zhang looked at Wan He in a cold sweat, trying to squeeze a smile out of the fat on his face, but he could only squeeze out an ugly expression. Seeing that the conversation between Wan He and Yang Gongqing was finished, Wang Zhang immediately stepped forward and said flatteringly: "Country, Grandpa Guo!" This, this, will the thieves of Nawa Gangzhai really come over? ”
Wan He glanced at this Wang Zhang, but nodded angrily, this Wang Zhang knew that it was useless at a glance, since the city gate was opened, then there would be no need for Wang Zhang, if it weren't for Yang Dong's face, Wan He wouldn't want to pay attention to him! And Wan He's head turned a little pale, his legs and feet trembled, and he seemed to be about to fall to the ground again, swallowing his saliva hard, Wang Zhang looked at Wan He pitifully and said, "Country, grandfather Guo!" Grandpa Guo! You want it, you want to save it! Humble duty, humble duty is loyal to His Royal Highness the King of Yue! ”
Wang Zhang can not be afraid! The famous Zhang Xutuo died at the hands of Wagangzhai, he was just a nameless guard, how could he dare to fight with Wagangzhai? If it weren't for Wan He leading so many soldiers and horses in the city, I am afraid that Wang Zhang would immediately open the city and surrender! As for Wang Zhang's appearance, Wan He couldn't help but show a trace of disgust, and simply ignored Wang Zhang's words, but shouted to the soldiers left and right behind him: "Lord Wang is tired, you guys, take Lord Wang down to rest and rest!" ”
Those who followed Wan He were all the people brought by Yang Gongqing, and as soon as he heard Wan He's words, three or four people immediately stood up, stepped forward and grabbed Wang Zhang, and just pulled him towards the city. Poor Wang Zhang, he didn't even have time to speak, so he was dragged away! And Wan He glanced at the figure of Wang Zhang who was far away, but he said to Yang Gongqing in a deep voice: "Look at this guy!" Don't let him mess with us! "Wan He is not the officialdom chick two years ago, and he is much more powerful in guarding against people's hearts than before, and he has already seen Wang Zhang's thoughts, so Yang Gongqing can take more precautions!
Yang Gongqing nodded and agreed, at this time, it happened that Pei Renji also walked to Wan He's side, and when he saw Pei Renji, Wan He also hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "General Pei, how is it?" Can this Yanshi City be defended? "In fact, Wan He is also a person who is afraid of death, if Pei Renji answers that he can't hold it, Wan He will not stay here and die, and immediately lead the soldiers and horses to escape! Anyway, what Nawa Gangzhai wants is just food, as long as the food is left, the other party will not chase after it!
Pei Renji didn't expect Wan He to have so many ghost eyes, and when he heard Wan He's question, Pei Renji said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, there are also 2,000 defenders in this Yanshi City!" With the addition of our own soldiers and horses, it should be no problem to hold on for a few days! But it must not be long! Otherwise, we can't afford it! ”
"Ugh!" Few days? Wanhe is also a little confused, this concept is a little vague, three days is a few days, five days is also a few days, how many days is this? This question is very important to Wanhe, and it is related to whether Wanhe decides to run away! So Wan He asked a little more clearly.
And Pei Renji showed a wry smile and said: "If it is the former thief in Hebei and Shandong, I have 10,000 rebels in my hands, and I don't even need to hide in the city, I can defeat the other party by directly attacking!" But the thieves in this Wagang village are far different from the thieves I have met before! The elite level of the army is even far greater than that of some local armies! Before, I thought that the other party would have more than 30,000 people at most, so I had the confidence to rely on this Yanshi City to resist the opponent's attack! Unexpectedly, there were at least 50,000 horses! With so many soldiers and horses, if I forcibly attack the city, plus the more than 10,000 ** I brought are recruits who have not experienced battles, I really don't have any confidence in this battle! ”
Pei Renji's words scared Wan He enough! This Pei Renji is a veteran of the battlefield, and he is the current commander of the counterinsurgency, even he said that he is not sure, so isn't this battle lost? Wan He immediately had the idea of running away, but he still held on to the last glimmer of hope and asked, "Then, then, what if there are reinforcements?" ”
"Reinforcements?" Wan He didn't have time to tell Pei Renji about sending someone to Luoyang for help before, so Wan He suddenly said that the reinforcements were now, which made Pei Renji a little surprised. Pei Renji's eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise and hope, and he hurriedly asked Wan He: "Grandpa Guo!" Do we still have reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements? How many centaurs are there? How long will it take? ”
Pei Renji suddenly spit out several questions in a row like a machine gun, and Wan He was also stunned when he asked, and he didn't know which question to answer for a while! After a long time, Wan He relented and said, "Uh! This, I just asked someone to send a letter to Luoyang, as long as I receive a letter asking for help, Luoyang will send troops to help! ”
"Luoyang?" Hearing Wan He say this, Pei Renji also frowned, estimated in his heart, and then said: "If you send reinforcements from Luoyang, it will take at least three or four days to get here!" This doesn't include the time spent on the road by the people sent by Grandpa Guo, but I can only hold out for three days at most! ”
"Ugh!" Hearing Pei Renji say this, Wan He was completely desperate, and the whole person was like a frosted eggplant, completely wilted! It seems that the only way to do this is to give up these grains and flee back to Luoyang directly! It's just that this coming and going, Wan He is tantamount to wasting his efforts, which makes Wan He also very unhappy! However, if you are unhappy, Wan He didn't plan to fight with her life, so she could only say to Pei Renji: "In this way, we have to give up these grains!" ”
Pei Renji also knew the meaning of Wanhe's words, and only by leaving the grain to Wagangzhai could he win a glimmer of life. Although Pei Renji is also very unwilling, knowing that if these grains fall into the hands of Wagangzhai, it will only make Wagangzhai stronger and stronger, and Pei Renji's hope of avenging Zhang Xutuo in the future will become more and more slim. But Pei Renji also knows that if he doesn't do this, himself, Wanhe and these more than 10,000 soldiers will be wiped out! Therefore, he could only nod and agree to Wan He's method.
"No!" Just when Wan He had given up hope and was about to let Yang Gongqing go to the side to pass the word and retreat, suddenly a clear drink came from the side, Wan He and Pei Renji looked back, but it was Qin Qiong who was walking quickly towards this side. Qin Qiong was sent to settle those grain and grass trucks before, so he had just arrived at the head of the city, and happened to hear the conversation between Wan He and Pei Renji, walked up to Wan He and Pei Renji, and said to the two: "We finally transported the grain out, how can we leave it to those thieves?" Isn't that a pipe drain? ”
Pei Renji sighed and said with a wry smile: "If there is another way, I don't want to give up like this!" Uncle Bao! Stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, if you want to find Wagangzhai for revenge, let's wait for next time! ”
Looking at Wan He and Pei Renji's long sighs, Qin Qiong suddenly smiled and said, "Grandpa Guo!" General Pei! Don't give up hope yet, I have a plan here that can be delayed for a few days, maybe until reinforcements arrive! ”
