There are too many things in front of him, and Zhu Ping'an really can't remember this familiar back, so he left it behind in an instant, anyway, this person is in his own army, and it is not too late to visit him in the future.

Diao Gui still couldn't escape, the speed of the Ming official army was what he didn't expect, all the plans he had made fell through, and he didn't run a few steps, and he was shot in the thigh by a blind man who had coveted him for a long time, and collapsed to the ground.

was dragged in front of Zhu Ping'an by two soldiers, Zhu Ping'an looked at him carefully, "You are the main thing about this Dechang?" ”

Diao Gui was already in a state of distraction, and without waiting for Zhu Ping'an to inquire carefully, he immediately slammed his head on the ground, "The adult spares his life, and the villain knows everything!" ”

"Are you from the Fan family, or are you from Ning Wan's person?" Zhu Ping'an's words made Diao Gui's mouth open wide in surprise. Even Liao Jinda on the side was a little surprised.

Diao Gui pondered for a while, and kept touching his head to the ground, "Adult Mingjian, villains, etc. are all subordinates of the Fan family, and those who attacked the Tongju Lord on the courtyard wall are Lord Ning, ah no, it is the banner soldier of the Guanwai Han Army sent by my thief Ning Wan!" ”

The situation is the same as Zhu Ping'an's assumption, Ning Wan and I really put my tentacles into the hinterland of Daming early in the morning, and the business name of the Fan family is the best penetration platform.

Zhu Ping'an put one foot on Diao Gui's shoulder, "That's fine, this official doesn't have the patience to listen to those vain things." Ning Wan, my thief wants to do what the official is clear, and today this Dechang does not want anyone to live. But you are different from others, do you understand what this official means? ”。

"Understood. Got it! Zhu Ping'an's words revealed a glimmer of life, Diao Guijiu rolled on the rivers and lakes, how could he not hear it, and hurriedly replied: "Please give the villain a pen and paper, don't dare to say anything else, there is a grain storage place placed by the Fan family within a radius of 500 miles, and the villain will write it down!" ”

Only then did Zhu Ping'an withdraw his feet in official boots and nodded with satisfaction, "Not only that, but also the operation of the Fan family and so on." There is no person in charge in the area of Beizhili. Write it down. After the deed is completed, your softness will be returned to you, and you can go wherever you want, and this official will never stop you! ”

Diao Gui was overjoyed. I never thought that things would turn around. When even took the pen and paper from Wang Jinfa's hand. He lay on the cold ground and began to write.

What is the Fan family, the Dechang was copied, and all the personnel were killed. He Diao Gui can naturally hide from the world and bury his name, and it is expected that the Fan family will not do anything to his wife and children who stayed in Shanxi. As long as you can return to the capital, take your concubine and children out to hide for a while, and then send someone to sneak back to Shanxi unknowingly after a few years, and pick up the mother-in-law and son, this wealth and glory are still indispensable.

Zhu Ping'an's subordinates killed the captured Han Army Banner and Dechang men one by one in this courtyard, and the killing was next to Diao Gui, and the blood flowed over unconsciously, Diao Gui took a look, couldn't help but tremble, and then hardened his heart and didn't look to the side.

The officials who rushed into the backyard and the soldiers of the Dingzhou Guard Station came back to report that the backyard was full of grain stacks, as well as underground, and all the cellars were dug, not only with more than 4,000 stone of grain, but also with a large number of livestock frozen meat.

"Damn, no wonder the Manchu army has to break through Dingzhou, the stock here is enough for 50,000 soldiers to eat horses and feed for five or six days, and there are large and small grain storage areas around here, and there is no problem in fighting for more than a month, the supply of Tartars is much richer than that of our officers and soldiers!" Zhu Ping'an was surprised and speechless.

Liao Jinda's eyes were red at that time, these days he was worried about the hard work of defending the city, and the life and death of tens of thousands of people in the city were pressed on his immature shoulders, and only the grain and grass made him helpless. The grain stored in the treasury plus the surplus grain that the rich families in the city took out when they left, the total was only 200 stones, and seeing that the tartars had not yet come, the people of the whole city had to dig the roots of the trees, pick the grass leaves, and dig out the mouse holes to satisfy their hunger, but they did not expect that the Dechang in the city had so much food.

"Lord Liao, this official advises again, Dingzhou City is impossible to defend, rather than sacrifice here in vain, it is better to retreat to the south and join forces with Lu Dushi, so that there is a good response!"

Liao Jinda suddenly felt much more relaxed at this time. Originally, the people were reluctant to leave Dingzhou because they had no food in their hands, and they would be sent to death if they ran outside, thinking that it would be better to die in their hometown. Now with this lot of food, the people can leave the city of Dingzhou, and the official will order the people to receive the grain and then flee out of the city immediately to avoid the disaster of swords! ”

Zhu Ping'an pressed his eager figure, looking at his eager eyes, it was really a little unbearable. "I mean, adults can go together!"

Liao Jinda laughed twice, "The adult's heart is strong." But the official still didn't leave. Not to mention the responsibility of defending the land, only to talk about this grain, the official will not be able to leave. ”

Liao Jinda's eyes suddenly became extraordinarily clear, "If you don't say it, the official also understands." We can't get all the food here, even if it's all loaded, the Tartars are coming, and we are dead. Rather than this, it is better to stick to the city and buy a certain amount of time for the adults to retreat south. Now that there is food, the morale of the army can be lifted a little, those who can go have already left, and the soldiers who are willing to stay are all holding the will to die, maybe they will be able to repel the Tartar army when the time comes, but it is still unknown! ”

Zhu Ping'an sighed secretly in his heart, the young judge in front of him had already seen the shape clearly, and if the so-called defense was successful, I am afraid that even he would not believe it. Stick to Dingzhou City, you can escort some of the grain back to Zhendingchuang for the fleeing people and Zhu Ping'an and others, Liao Jinda is determined to fight in Dingzhou to the end.

Liao Jinda arched his hand at Zhu Ping'an, "If Lord Zhu has nothing to do, the official will go to requisition the carriage and escort the grain and grass out of the city as soon as possible." Inspector Lu has long been out of food, and this official has long known about it. ”

At this time, Diao Gui trembled and handed several pieces of paper full of handwriting to Zhu Ping'an, "My lord, the villain knows, it's all on it!" ”

Watching Zhu Ping'an and Liao Jinda read the ten lines at a glance in horror, Diao Gui said with courage: "Two adults, look, the villain is ......!" ”

Zhu Ping'an bowed slightly, "Okay, let's go, have a good trip!" ”

Diao Gui was suddenly overjoyed, and after making a fuss, he turned around and ran out of the courtyard. Zhu Ping'an glanced at Cheng Zhen, who was standing at the door, and Cheng Zhen's hand immediately touched the hilt of the knife.

But before Cheng Zhen could catch up, Liao Jinda had already followed with an arrow step, and while running, he had already pulled out the saber on his body, and he couldn't help but break up and stabbed Diao Gui from behind.

Diao Gui covered his chest, and Liao Jinda, who had a pale face, pulled out the blade with all his might, and stood in place panting. Diao Gui turned around in pain, pointing at Zhu Ping'an and Liao Jinda, "Why?" ”

"In the past half a month, how many soldiers and civilians have starved to death in Dingzhou City, if you have anything to say, you go down and explain to them!" Without waiting for Zhu Ping'an to speak, Liao Jinda said viciously.

Zhu Ping'an nodded, "That's right, the official promised you, but Lord Liao really didn't say that he wanted to bypass you!" ”

Diao Gui staggered towards Liao Jinda unwillingly, and as soon as he moved his steps, Cheng Zhen behind him stabbed again, directly cut off his head, and spat at his fallen body.

Liao Jinda gradually adapted to the bloody atmosphere, the greenness and hesitation on his face slowly faded, nodded at Zhu Ping'an, and went to deploy the carriage to load grain and grass.

There are not many mules and horses in the city, and there are only enough for thirty carts, and the people work together, and finally nearly 1,000 stones of grain and frozen meat are loaded into the truck, and the rest is helpless, so it can only be handed over to Liao Jinda to deal with.

Liao Jinda smiled, "Tell the whole city, today this official is the east, please have a feast for the military and civilians in the city!" The military and civilians responded violently, but it made Zhu Ping'an's heart sour, which was very unpleasant.

In the early hours of the morning, thirty carriages slowly drove out of the south gate, Zhu Ping'an arranged for Wang Jinfa and more than 100 soldiers to escort grain and grass to leave first, and a large number of people also hurriedly left the city with life-saving food at this time, but everyone knelt at the city gate with tears in their eyes, and kowtowed to the young judge not far away. Although Liao Jinda had tears in his eyes, he still said goodbye with a smile on his face.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Liao Jinda also urged Zhu Ping'an to go on the road as much as possible. Zhu Ping'an thought about it, and still planned to persuade Liao Jinda again. The officials of the Ming Dynasty have seen a lot, but an official like Liao Jinda who is full of vitality and no fireworks, Zhu Ping'an is still the first time to see it, although it is assumed that after a few years, this Liao Jinda may become the same philistine and selfish as other officials, but at least he is the most innocent and simple now, which is also the talent that the future Ming needs most! Thinking that he was going to follow this Dingzhou City to live and die together, Zhu Ping'an's heart was really unbearable.

Liao Jinda stopped Zhu Ping'an and didn't let him say it at all. "At this moment, Liao is already satisfied with the responsibility of defending the territory with the soldiers and civilians of the city, and there is no need to persuade the adults anymore!"

Before the words fell, a soldier came on horseback, although he was a few feet away, he had already begun to shout: "My lord, ten miles outside the north gate, you have seen the Tartar rangers, the north gate town guard guerrillas, please go and command quickly!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Liao Jinda immediately smiled. The morning sun has slowly jumped out of the horizon, and Liao Jinda's smile has become brighter and brighter, "Everyone has their own ambitions, since Liao's choice has been decided, he will cherish it with the adults first!" ”

Looking at Liao Jinda's face, Zhu Ping'an could only helplessly take dozens of auxiliary soldiers out of the city.

The heavy city gate slowly closed behind him, Zhu Ping'an took the reins of the horse, the war horse turned, and faced the city gate again, looking at the smiling Liao Jinda waving goodbye to himself in the gap of the city gate, Zhu Ping'an only felt that the depression and anger in his chest had nowhere to vent.

Zhu Ping'an rode a war horse and turned around suddenly, shouting at Zhang Ergou and Cheng Zhen and more than fifty auxiliary soldiers: "The big husband stands between heaven and earth, doing something and not doing something, and now Lord Liao is willing to live and die together in the capital city of Dingzhou in order to cover our retreat. ”

Zhu Ping'an stared at the faces of dozens of subordinates, and said word by word: "The Tartars who come must be the vanguard scouts of the army, who has the courage to go with this official to harvest a few heads, and dedicate them to the city, congratulations for Lord Liao to go to Qingyun!"
