In the past few months, the Japanese invaders have ravaged the southeast, and the momentum has become louder and louder, and the first to be poisoned are Taizhou, Ningbo, Shaoxing and other places, the Japanese have wantonly looted and killed, the people have died tragically, the countryside has been deserted, the wharves have been destroyed, the warehouses have been seized, and the beacons have been burned everywhere. Wang Chen sent the fierce general Tang Kekuan to meet the enemy, several battles in a row, mutual damage, the Japanese invaders turned to move north, Jiaxing, Songjiang, Hangzhou and other places were attacked successively, a month ago, Jiaxing was actually breached, the Japanese Kou forward approached Suzhou Mansion, fortunately Yu Dayou led the troops to arrive in time, blocking the Japanese Kou, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

The Japanese invaders fought successively, their prestige was shocked, the officials and soldiers were exhausted, and even Wang Chen rebuked twice.

Tang Ruji never imagined that the would-be would-be coquette ran to the sandbank again, knowing that this was the case, why bother to come to find bad luck, the chagrin in Tang Ruji's heart needless to say.

"Lord Tang, this official is Hanlin Xiu, just know how to use a pen, but don't play with knives and guns, the Japanese are here, but it depends on you!"

In a word, the responsibility was put on Tang Xiucai and An Yuandao. Tang Yi saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but sneer, he was still a champion, he didn't have any guts and responsibility, and he chose a soft bone once every three years, which is really sad and lamentable!

An Yuandao was still an old man, so he grabbed Tang Xiucai and asked, "Lord Tang, how many people do you have?" Have you ever been in a war? ”

"Six hundred, all recruits, not badly trained." Tang Xiucai replied quickly.

An Yuandao automatically ignored the latter sentence, the Japanese are as cunning as a fox and extremely brave, even if they are elite officers and soldiers, they can't beat them, not to mention hundreds of recruits, at most, they are a little stronger than the people, what use can it be?

Tang Xiucai's subordinates are unusable, and those in Shazhou County are even more inadequate, in addition to the more than 200 officials who only know how to bully the common people, there are also so-called military households who have not trained for one or two million years, and are more skilled than swords with hoes and scales, pointing at them to deal with the Japanese Bandits, it is better to pray that God will open their eyes and the Wolves will go the wrong way!

"Champion Gong, I can't beat it!" An Yuandao said with a bitter face. Tang Ruji was dumbfounded when he heard this, blurted out, and said, "I can't beat it, let's run quickly!" ”

Tang Xiucai hurriedly said: "My lord, you can't run, the Japanese are going to do it tonight, there are twenty or thirty thousand stone of military rations at the dock, as well as the rest of the materials, if it falls into the hands of the Japanese invaders, what can I do?" ”

"That's right!" Tang Ruji's face is green, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, losing military rations is equivalent to losing the city and land, and it is going to lose his head, even if Yan Ge Lao and Xiao Ge Lao can help around, but it is also a stain that cannot be shaken off in a lifetime, and it is absolutely unacceptable for Tang Zhuangyuan, who has a great future.

I can't fight, I can't run, is there any way to live?

Tang Ruji was as anxious as a pendulum, walking around over and over again, only heavy wheezing was left in the room, and after a while, An Yuandao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stomped his feet suddenly, startling everyone.

"Lao An, what are you crazy about?" Tang Ruji said hatefully.

An Yuandao hurriedly smiled and said, "Champion Gong, I have thought of a way." ”

"What's the solution?" Tang Ruji asked in surprise.

An Yuandao was about to speak, but when he noticed Tang Yi and the others, he stopped talking, made a look, and asked all the subordinates to go out, Tang Yi was no exception, there were only three people left in the room, Tang Ruji, An Yuandao and Tang Xiucai.

Retreating outside, Tang Yi frowned deeply.

There is no doubt that the situation in front of us is not that the enemy is strong and I am weak, but that the enemy is extremely strong and I am extremely weak! Chen Sipan has been a widow for many years, fierce and cunning, he will definitely not send only the yellow dog alone, maybe there are already a lot of widows in Shazhou City at this time. It will come out at any time, attack inside and outside, easily break through the city, and steal the military rations.

As for why Chen Sipan was able to grasp the time so accurately! Tang Yi dared to say that someone must have reported the news, and the faint Tang Yi smelled a smell of conspiracy, Tang Ruji had a bad reputation, but he would not pull hatred like this, maybe it was aimed at himself. Thinking of this, Tang Yi couldn't help but slap a spirit. In the gloomy night, it seemed that a poisonous snake was spitting letters at him.

Tang Yi walked around irritably, constantly thinking of a way to break the game, but he was at a loss. If An Yuandao and Tang Ruji are good, they can still fight against the city, but looking at the performance of the two guys, they are pig teammates at all, and they are not trustworthy. But if you run away, you will be charged with a crime, and it will also drag down the front line to resist the Japanese, and the elite soldiers such as Yu Dayou and Tang Kekuan will be hungry, and their hearts will be like a knife!

Isn't there the best of both worlds?

Tang Yi stomped his foot hard, and suddenly the door opened, and Tang Xiucai walked out of it. Tang Yi greeted him, Tang Xiucai did not speak, but stretched out his hand and pulled Tang Yi to the corner of the wall. By the light of the lantern, Tang Yi could see the bulging green tendons of his father's sideburns and his iron face.

"Dad, what's An Yuandao's idea?"

"Alas!" With a long sigh, Tang Xiucai said coldly: "Yi'er, Anzhi County is much more powerful than you, he said let's take one or two thousand stones of grain and leave first, and when the widows appear, they will set fire to the dock." ”

"He's going to burn the grain?"

"Hmph, what if the wolf can't get food, the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, and continues to chase and kill? How could someone as smart as Lord An come up with such a solution? ”

"And what does he want to do?" For the first time, Tang Yi felt that his head was not enough.

Tang Xiucai looked around, lowered his voice, and said, "He wants to burn down some people's houses and cause some people to be displaced." Wait until the Japanese invaders have plundered, and then come back with men and horses, kill these people, pretend to be Japanese robbers, and please be rewarded! ”

After listening, Tang Yi's mouth opened wide!

shouted wildly in my heart: An Yuandao, what a fucking genius!

Taking away one or two thousand stones of grain is better than nothing, but it can report to the imperial court, saying that it was desperately protected, and not all of it was lost. Then he used the heads of some ordinary people to pretend to be Japanese robbers. It creates a kind of back-to-back battle, although it is not defeated by the Japanese invaders, but it is the illusion of heavy damage to the enemy army.

There is no strong garrison on the sandbank, and it is already remarkable to be able to kill some of the pirates, and if you don't do it, you will not only not blame, but will also order praise. Speaking of which, An Yuandao can climb from the miscellaneous stream to the position of the county, which is indeed a bit of Taoism! It's just that this kind of Taoism is disgusting!

"Dad, children will never let you do such a thing as killing good and risking merit! As the saying goes, you can't contain fire in paper, take one wrong step, and you will never recover! ”

Tang Xiucai grinned bitterly and asked, "Yi'er, what do you say your father should do?" ”

Tang Yi's eyes rolled, gritted his teeth and said: "Fight, fight to the death with the Japanese Kou, I don't believe it, the Japanese have three heads and six arms!" Tang Xiucai's eyes showed a hint of relief, he was not mistaken, his son was a bloody and principled person. But things are far from being so simple, Tang Xiucai had tears in his eyes and muttered: "Yi'er, Dad is not afraid of death, but Dad is afraid of implicating you!" ”

Tang Yi was puzzled and looked at his father blankly. Tang Xiucai smiled self-deprecatingly, "Yi'er, people just calculated that your father would be obedient and obedient, so they told me the plan." When he spoke, the corners of his eyes almost cracked, although he was not a person of mind, but he regarded the word conscience more than anything else, if he did such a thing that lost his conscience, it was better to kill him.

But does he have a choice?

Tang Ruji and An Yuandao are both greedy for life and afraid of death, they are determined to escape, if Tang Xiucai goes against them, even if they win, these two people will not let Tang Xiucai go, they lost the battle, they didn't run, and even resisted unfavorably, lost grain and grass, disobeyed the command, all kinds of crimes will fall on Tang Xiucai, and they will completely become scapegoats.

On the one hand, there is no life, and on the other hand, it is to ask for merit and reward, what is the difficulty of choosing, as for conscience, is this thing still worth it?

"Dad, if you listen to them, you will blame yourself for the rest of your life, and it will be worse than killing you!" Tang Yi said with red eyes.

Tang Xiucai nodded thoughtfully, "Yi'er, Dad knows that Dad is not afraid of death, but Dad doesn't want to implicate you?" ”

I'm implicated again, Tang Yi is going crazy!

"Silly boy, if your father is disobedient, he will inevitably be charged with a crime, you must know that the son of a criminal official cannot be examined, and your life will be over!" Tang Xiucai's eyes flashed with tears, in his heart, morality is far more important than life and death, there is only one thing that can make his morality turn, and that is his son! Tang Xiucai's heart is dripping blood!

It's over in a lifetime!

As if the thunder sounded in his ears, Tang Yi trembled, and his little face turned pale. Yes, instead of taking the risk of resisting, it is better to follow Tang Ruji's arrangement, anyway, the sky is falling and Tang Zhuangyuan is on top of it, what is the obstacle with him Tang Yi? As long as nothing happens, the two of them can continue to live a chic life, there is a saying, who hasn't eaten, as long as you don't chew it!

At this moment, a servant hurriedly ran over, gasped and said, "Lord Tang, the hall asks you to hurry up, protect the food and hurry up!" ”

Tang Xiucai nodded blankly, turned around mechanically, and burst into tears in an instant, he knew that what he had believed in all his life was broken, as if the white jade had a little more flaw and could never be taken away!

He was just about to pull out his legs and leave, when suddenly his hand was grabbed, and when he turned his head suddenly, Tang Yi was staring at him with burning eyes.

"Dad, the child wants to fight once!"

Xiao Tang and Tang Xiucai should be regarded as the same kind of people, both have limits and principles. Chinese have always attached great importance to prudence and independence, and these two words may be the difference between politicians and politicians!
