Chapter 35: A Call for Help

"The lower official thinks that he should immediately go out of the city to bring reinforcements, and the inside and outside should be combined to defeat the enemy!"

At the military meeting, Yue Su was the first to express his views.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately ridiculed by many people, and it was Zhang Yanfang, the chief soldier of Guizhou, who led the laugh.

"Hahahaha....... Lord Yue, you have a hand in managing places and handling cases, but when it comes to marching and fighting, you are still far behind. The enemy army now occupies the surrounding fortresses, strictly monitoring the city of Guiyang, once an army leaves the city, they can immediately mobilize men and horses to besiege it, what is the difference between going out of the city and seeking death. ”

"General Zhang is right, if there is an army out of the city, there are many people, it will definitely be discovered, and when the enemy mobilizes troops, it will be able to annihilate our army immediately. But if only a few people go out of the city, with light horses and fast horses, it will not be so easy to encircle. Yue Su said.

"Joke, now the enemy army is surrounding Guiyang, not to mention that it is almost impassable, there are enemy camps on all roads, and it is not easy to get out. There are still a few sporadic people, and it is estimated that they are not enough for the enemy to cut. Zhang Yanfang argued.

"Okay, you two don't argue, what Governor Yue said is not unreasonable. Of course, Mr. Zhang also spoke according to the facts. Li Zheng first made a round, and then said: "Now our grain and grass will not last long, and the army can last for three months, but what about the people." Now that there is no food in the inner city, in a few days I plan to distribute military rations, and the support will be shortened. ”

"Your Excellency, you said that you would use military rations to help the people? The lower officials did not agree. Military rations are the life of the army, if they are distributed to the people, how long can we support them, I am afraid that we will not wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the imperial court, and we will have to starve to death first. Zhang Yanfang immediately objected.

"Mr. Zhang, what you said is not right, the people are the people of the imperial court, and the duty of the national army is to defend the land and the people, if the people in the city are all dead, we are guarding a dead city, what is the point?" Yue Su immediately refuted Zhang Yanfang.

"You ......" Zhang Yanfang saw that Yue Su dared to contradict himself and oppress people with great truths, how could he not be angry, his eyes widened, "I think you are stupid to read!" If we hadn't guarded the city, the people of the city would have been killed by the rebels. Why don't you see the people come out when you go up desperately? ”

"Didn't the people help? Without them paying taxes, where would the army get their salaries, and what would you and I eat? Yue Su argued loudly.

"Alright, alright...... Both of you are right. Li Zheng once again became a peacemaker and said: "I summoned you today, not to let you argue about this issue, the headquarters and courtyard in the city are the largest, and whether or not to distribute military grain to the people is up to me." Today's main thing is to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy, do you have any good opinions? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yanfang was silent, and none of the generals under him said anything. The current situation is clear, the enemy is outnumbered, and taking the initiative to attack is self-defeating, so we can only sit and wait for reinforcements to arrive, and then attack from inside and outside. But the question is, when will reinforcements come.

Yue Su pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, the lower officials believe that the first task is to communicate with the outside world, find the new governor Wang Sanshan, and ask him to mobilize reinforcements to relieve the siege. The longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to our army. ”

"Your countermeasures are good, but you have also seen that the roads and fortresses outside the city are all occupied by rebels, and it is not easy to get out. As soon as people leave the city, they are not killing themselves. Li Zheng shook his head and sighed.

"Xiaguan has been observing the enemy's deployment at night these days, and found that the road to the south is relatively lax, and there are few soldiers and horses, so it is not impossible to break through from there at night." Yue Su said solemnly.

Of course, the southern part of Guiyang is lax, because it is An Bangyan's territory, and further south, the southernmost is Luodian, An Bangyan's old nest.

Yue Su's words were once again ridiculed by Zhang Yanfang and other generals, but Li Zheng was thoughtful, and only said after a while: "You mean to break through from the south and then make a detour. ”

"That's exactly what Xia Guan meant." Yue Su replied loudly.

"Your idea is good, but who to send?" Li Zhen muttered.

"The lower officials are not talented, and they are willing to go in person." Yue Su arched his hand and said.

"This can't be ......" Li Zheng hurriedly said: "You are the prefect of the fifth grade of the imperial court, and you are a civil official, how can you go to such a dangerous mission." ”

"The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, this idea was conceived by the lower officials, whether it is feasible is not known, how can others be put in danger. The subordinate has made up his mind, and he is willing to set off tonight, take it by surprise, and highlight the enemy camp. If he is lucky, he will immediately contact the new governor Wang to bring troops to help relieve the siege of Guiyang. Yue Su said again in a firm tone.

Although this kind of thing can be accomplished by sending a few clever messengers, when I go to Wang Sanshan, I am afraid that I can't say a word except to send a letter. Guiyang's danger, wouldn't he know? The answer, of course, is no, he didn't come to help, it was because he didn't dare to come. It is useless to send a person who speaks a little weight, or who can also speak to the king of Sanshan, an ordinary messenger. Yue Su understood this truth, so he personally asked for help.

Of course, Li Zhen also knew this truth, hesitated for a long time, suddenly stood up, and waved his hand at Yue Su, "The old man respectfully worships Lord Xie Yue on behalf of all the soldiers and civilians in Guiyang." ”

Seeing Li Zheng like this, Yue Su hurriedly stood up and saluted, and the other generals saw this scene and quickly stood up and saluted Yue Su. Since you Yue Su dare to play with your life, what is it for us to make a fool of you.

******************************************************

After the meeting, Yue Su returned to his apartment, summoned Jin Chan, Yin Zhu, and Tie Qiu, and told them to prepare and go out of the city with him at night to break through.

As soon as the three of them heard Yue Su's words, they hurriedly stopped them, saying that they asked Yue Su to stay, and they were willing to go for him. Yue Su explained the stakes and said the reason why he had to go, and after hearing this, the three of them didn't say anything more, and went to prepare dry food for the horses.

The Li brothers have always been by Yue Su's side, because they are straightforward men, and they have a good relationship with Jin Chan and others, and they often laugh together, chat, and practice martial arts. The two found that they were preparing dry food and packing, how could they not be curious, and when they stepped forward to ask, they learned the reason.

Li Haoran didn't even think about it, and shouted loudly: "We are also following adults now, why do we only bring you and not our brothers." Do you think our brothers are lowly in skills? ”

Seeing that Li Haoran started to scratch the prison, Jin Chan smiled and said: "The adults are also for your good, I am here to break through the nine deaths, you have just followed the adults, it is not worth losing your surname, and all the adults have not called you." ”

"What are these words, since I, Li Haoran, dared to follow the adults to Guiyang, I would have already put my surname into it. My lord is extrajudicial and spares my brother's life, and my life is my adult's. Are you the only ones who are not afraid of life and death, and our brothers are greedy for life and afraid of death? After Li Haoran finished speaking dissatisfied, he said, "Brother, let's go see the adult and let him take us with him." After the provincial government was ridiculed by the golden cicadas, we buddies, even if we die, we have to let people know that we are men! ”

Li Haoquan on the side nodded again and again, and shouted: "Big brother is right, we are not bad seeds, since we dare to come with adults, we don't think about going back." Let's go, big brother! ”

"Well done!" "It's a man!" "It's not in vain that our brother made you a friend!" …… When the three of them saw that the two brothers were so arrogant, they all gave a thumbs up.

The two brothers, Li Haoran and Li Haoquan, came to Yue Su's room with all their strength, and fell to the ground as soon as they entered the door. I only heard Li Haoran shouting loudly: "My lord, the two of us are going to go out of the city with you to break through!" ”

"That's right! Take our brothers with you! Li Haoquan shouted.

Yue Su shook his head and smiled, expecting that it was the golden cicada who told the two, so he had to say, "Two strong men, hurry up." It is dangerous to break through here, and I am afraid that there will be no return. You are not in the public family, you don't have to take this risk, and when the siege of Guiyang is lifted, you can go home. ”

"My lord, what do you mean by this, do you think that our brother is greedy for life and afraid of death!" Li Haoran still knelt down, and shouted stubbornly: "My lord is fair and honest, for the country and the people, and my brothers are proud to follow your lord." The adults will save us, my brother's life is yours, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, if the adults command, we dare to jump! ”

"My eldest brother is right. My lord, you can take us with you, as long as you follow your adult, even if it is death, we are willing. If the adults dislike my two brothers, we will not kneel here and not get up! "This Li Haoquan is also a strong seed, otherwise he would not have insisted on following his brother to Guiyang.

Seeing his brother like this, Yue Su hurriedly stepped forward to help. The two of them still knelt hard, and Li Haoran asked, "My lord, did you promise to take us there when you let us get up?" ”

Yue Su didn't have a problem with the two of them, and he also liked these two straightforward men in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay! Since you are not afraid of death, then follow me! ”

"Thank you, sir!" The two shouted, and then they got up.

In the middle of the night, Yue Su and the others had dinner on the third watch, and only when it was almost the fourth watch did they set off from the south gate, took dry food and weapons and went all the way forward, and went straight to the camp on the rebel road.

The six of them were all dressed in black, and they also wore a black grimace mask on their faces, which Yue Su specially picked up from the people in the inner city during the day. The horses were black, the bells were picked, and the hooves were wrapped in cotton, so that no matter how fast they ran, they could not make any sound.

Tonight Tiangong is also beautiful, there are not even stars in the sky, and tomorrow should be a rainy day. According to the route calculated by Bai Yueli, he came all the way to the outside of the rebel camp.

The enemy troops on this road were the most slack, thinking that the Ming army would not break through from here, and they were lazy and lazy all the time, and in the dark night, the patrol soldiers on the lookout tower slept against the fence.

When he was about to get closer, Yue Su took a closer look, and when he saw that there was no sound, he motioned to Jin Chan and Yin Zhu to step forward slowly and move away from the antlers that were blocking the horse at the gate of the camp.

The two men were neat and tidy, stepped forward quietly, and removed the antlers without making the slightest sound. Then the six of them scurried into the camp, and then they hurried away.
