Stick to the helpless choice.

In the face of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the main force of the Eight Banners of the Jin Army, Zu Dashou and the 39,000 soldiers and civilians in the city had the only chance to hold on and wait for help.

The next day, he really waited for reinforcements. The commander of this support army was the new Jinzhou staff general Shi Dayong.

………

After learning that the Jin army had besieged Dalinghe City, Qiu Hejia immediately summoned Wu Xiang, the chief soldier of Liaodong, and Song Wei, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, to discuss the matter of sending troops to rescue.

Song Wei was in favor of sending troops to rescue immediately, but he didn't want Wu Xiang to oppose it, saying that there were no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Jinzhou, but there were tens of thousands of Jiannu who surrounded the Daling River.

Besides, if the troops of Jinzhou are sent to help, once defeated, Jinzhou will have no troops to defend, and if Jiannu takes advantage of the situation to attack Jinzhou, things will be even more dangerous. The top priority at the moment is to quickly send general intelligence and close the gate, and ask Sun Jing to send the gate soldiers quickly, otherwise, the Jinzhou soldiers and horses alone will not be able to send aid rashly.

Wu Xiang came from Ningyuan, and there were 3,000 cavalry in his department. Song Wei came to Shanhaiguan, and there were also 3,000 cavalry in his department. Although Qiu Hejia was the governor of Liaodong and Guanmen, the former was the same as Zu Dashou and only listened to Sun Chengzong's orders. The latter is Liang Tingdong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he is also respectful of Governor Qiu.

Now that Wu Xiang did not agree to send troops, it was naturally impossible for Song Wei to risk his three thousand cavalry.

Deputy generals Liu Zeqing, Pei Guozhen, staff generals Zu Kuan, Xia Chengde, Lu Pinqi and others are all descendants of Zu Dashou, and when they heard that the Jin army had surrounded the Daling River, they naturally thought that they should immediately send troops to rescue. However, Wu Xiang did not agree to send troops, and the reason was undeniable, Jinzhou alone could not break the siege. The wisest choice is to wait for reinforcements to arrive, so that there is a way to solve the crisis. Therefore, none of the generals insisted, so Qiu Hejia, the empty governor, ordered Wu Xiang and Song Wei not to move.

After discussing for a long time, they broke up unhappily.

After the generals of Liaodong left, Qiu Hejia called Shi Dayong, who had been listening for a long time, to his study with a worried face.

…………

What General Wu said is true, with the existing soldiers and horses in Jinzhou, it is indeed impossible to break the siege. Lord Futai is not too anxious, after knowing that Lu Dao Ancestor Shuai is surrounded, he will definitely send the army of the closed door to come to the rescue. When reinforcements arrive, the odds will be greater..."

Seeing Qiu Hejia's sad face, he sighed for a long time, Shi Dayong hurriedly relieved himself, saying that it was good, but he was also worried in his heart, history had told him that Zu Dashou was defeated in Daling River, so it means that the reinforcements must have failed.

Thinking of the more than 30,000 soldiers and civilians in Daling River, and thinking of He Kegang, who would rather die than surrender, Shi Dayong couldn't help but feel heartache.

But he was helpless, Wu Xiang and Song Wei, who had the most soldiers and horses, did not agree to the rescue, and what could he do, a general with only a few hundred soldiers and horses. Did you really volunteer to die?

I know I can't do it, but I don't do it.

Sometimes, it is a man of lofty ideals who is willing to throw away his blood; Sometimes, he is also a reckless man with a dizzy mind.

Shi Dayong didn't want to die in vain.

Now it seems that the only way is to wait for Sun Chengzong to transfer the army to close the door.

But I hope that with its arrival, the wheel of history can leave its original track.

Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven.

Shi Dayong felt a sense of powerlessness, and history didn't seem to change if he wanted to. In the battle of Dalinghe, the whole army was almost wiped out, and now, I am even more looking at a human tragedy about to happen, but I can't do anything.

The heart is bitter, but he can't show it, Shi Dayong is very depressed.

I haven't seen him for a few days, but Qiu Hejia seems to be much older, sitting there motionless, looking at the ground in a daze, and I don't know what to think.

I don't know when, the servant came over with a bowl of freshly fried medicinal soup, but when he saw the governor's appearance, he didn't know whether to advance or retreat.

Sighing, Shi Dayong walked in front of the man, took the medicine in his hand, walked to Qiu Hejia's side, gently put down the medicine bowl, and persuaded in a low voice: "Lord Futai, don't think so much, the medicine is decocted, you take the medicine first." ”

"Let it go."

Qiu Hejia, who raised his face, turned a little yellow, stared at Shi Dayong and looked at it, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Shi Dayong's heart moved, and he asked suspiciously: "Does Lord Futai have something to say to the last general?" ”

After hesitating for a moment in his heart, Qiu Hejia nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Dayong, Ben Fu wants you to lead the army to rescue Dalinghe City, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

Hearing this, Shi Dayong cried out: "Let me go?!" The whole person was stunned.

………

Qiu Hejia didn't joke with Shi Dayong, he gritted his teeth and made the decision to let Shi Dayong lead the troops to rescue after careful thinking and repeated weighing.

"As the governor of Liaodong, how can Ben Fu not save the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Dalinghe City surrounded by the Jin army? Wu and Song refused to send troops, did Benfu really have to wait? The military situation changes three times a day, what if the reinforcements do not arrive, and Dalinghe City is lost? ”

"The last time the last time I went to deliver food, I saw that Dalinghe City had been almost built, and Zu Shuai was a veteran of the battlefield, with tens of thousands of elites under his command, and with the city to hold on, the Jin army might not be able to gnaw it."

"That's what I said, but I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, if Zu Dashou can't keep it?"

"This? …”

"There's one more thing, you can't be unaware. The grain in the city is all transported from your Songshan, and you can do the math, how long can the grain and grass in the city be edible? ”

"One month at most."

"That's it. Time waits for no one, and the transfer of troops from Guanmen must be reported to the imperial court first, and it can only be approved after consultation between the emperor and the cabinet and the Ministry of War, and it will take at least seven days to wait for the order to transfer troops. Wait for the deployment of troops and horses from all walks of life, and it will take ten days to get to me here in Jinzhou at the earliest. In this way, half a month has passed. As you know, the arrival of the army involves a lot of trouble, and it is also troublesome to dispatch. Under these layers of joints, it is impossible to go to the Daling River without preparing reinforcements in January. However, the grain in Dalinghe City can last for a month at most, and when the food is finished, the army's morale will be broken. Benfu is afraid that the city will not wait for reinforcements to arrive, hey! ”

"What do you mean?"

"Before the arrival of the Jingluo army, I, the governor of Liaodong, will organize reinforcements no matter what, even if I know that it is irretrievable, I also want to let the soldiers and civilians in the city know that the court has not abandoned them, so as to strengthen their perseverance!"

"With all due respect, Lord Futai actually wants to give hope to the ancestors, right?"

"So to speak."

"The last general is willing to lead troops to help, but Lord Futai also knows that the last general only has a few hundred remnants under his command, how can he help?" Shi Dayong pointed out his most difficult problem, which was that he had no troops to save him.

Hearing that Shi Dayong was willing to help, Qiu Hejia was relieved and hurriedly said: "I will transfer the personal guards to you, and then transfer some men and horses from the various armies in the city to you. ”

After thinking about it, Shi Dayong nodded resolutely: "If Lord Futai can really transfer soldiers and horses to the last general, the last general will come to the aid of Daling River!" ”
