Zhao Kuangyin was shocked in his heart, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

At this time, it is indeed too dangerous to open the city gate, even if it is possible to close the city gate in time, but after receiving the messenger for help, it is necessary to send troops to rescue, but how to send troops in such a scene, there are no less than tens of thousands of people in the eyes of the Liao cavalry in the north, and it is not clear how many follow-up are not clear at all.

At this time, sending troops to rescue Baili Wuji is equivalent to letting 30,000 Zhou troops die in vain.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin secretly relented and shouted: "Close the city gate, the messenger under the city is Liaoguo." ”

The main general ordered that the soldiers of the Zhou army guarding the city gate naturally obeyed the order and quickly closed the city gate that had just opened a thin slit.

At this time, the Liao army's forward was less than five miles away from the city gate, and it was less than four miles away from the Ming army's scouts.

The Zhou army was on the verge of battle, which made the Ming army scouts under the city disheartened, and in desperation, the scouts could only bypass the north gate of Weizhou City and escape to the west gate.

Zheng En, who was on top of the city tower, muttered, this is obviously the messenger of the Ming Kingdom, why did the third brother change his words and say that it was a fine work.

Zheng En is a rough person, straightforward and fast-talking, and he can't figure it out, so he asks each other: "Third brother, what does this mean, the second brother ordered me to lead the army to reinforce the eldest brother, how can you treat the Ming army messenger like this?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin sighed slightly: "You have also seen that the Liao army is powerful, and we will open the city gate now and send troops to rescue, but it is just to send it to death." But the saint and the Ming have an agreement that they will send troops when they receive the messenger's message, and the emperor of the Zhou State cannot break his trust in others, so I can only say that they are meticulous. ”

The reason is valid, the approach is correct, and Zhao Kuangyin deserves to be a generation of heroes. Act decisively.

But Zheng En is a rough man, although he understands what Zhao Kuangyin meant, but he can't see such a despicable thing.

What's more, Chai Rong repeatedly told him before leaving. As soon as he received a messenger for help, he had to send troops to help each other in order to repay Baili Wuji for his kindness several times, in Zheng En's heart, Chai Rong's words were holy decrees, and Zhi'en Tu Bao was the iron law he followed.

At this time, he still respected his third brother Zhao Kuangyin, because Zhao Kuangyin did this in the interests of Zhou State. But about Zhao Kuangyin's character, Zheng En had some doubts in his heart.

Zheng En opened his mouth and said, "Third brother, even so. I can't wait to save my eldest brother, I can't let these ten messengers die in vain, right? ”

Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "How to save? ”

Zheng Enyi gritted his teeth and said: "Please ask the third brother to sit in Weizhou City, and lead a certain personal guard out of Beicheng to rescue them." ”

Zhao Kuangyin was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Fourth brother, no." Not only will it not save them. Even you have to get in, and I don't agree. ”

Zheng Enzheng said: "I know that the third brother is for my good, but there are some things that I have to do, and if I don't do it, I can't sleep at night." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said angrily: "Why are you so stubborn? ”

Zheng En suddenly knelt down on one knee and said, "Third brother take care, if you say goodbye today, when you don't see each other, let me say goodbye to my younger brother and third brother." ”

There are always some people in this world who are brainless. In Zheng En's heart, the weight of Baili Wuji is far less than that of Zhao Kuangyin. But for the sake of righteousness, Zheng En abandoned Zhao Kuangyin and preferred to go out of the city and risk rescuing the Ming messenger.

Such people often cannot leave their names in history, because such people generally die early.

Zhao Kuangyin was still waiting to stop again, but Zheng En got up and walked down the city tower by himself, and summoned his personal guards.

Zhao Kuangyin was helpless, and shouted behind his back: "Fourth brother, be careful here, if you can succeed, you don't have to come back, you can go to Bianjing to report to the saint ......." "Ordered the guards to mobilize three hundred cavalry to protect Zheng En.

At the same time, he hurriedly ordered his guards to give orders to the defenders of the north gate to cover Zheng En's party with bows and arrows.

Zhao Kuangyin knew that with his 30,000 people and the original 3,000 defenders of Weizhou City, he might not be able to support it for long.

The Liao army outside the city is still coming, this is no longer a grass valley, it is very likely to be a large-scale invasion.

The messengers of the Ming army outside the city fled around the city, and the Liao army four miles away immediately sent a hundred-man cavalry to pursue, and the army began to surround the city of Weizhou and stationed it outside the city, without quickly attacking the city, as if waiting for the arrival of the main general.

Although the messengers of the Ming army were ahead of the Liao army, they rushed all the way, tired of people and horses, and the distance of four miles was chased by the Liao army to a distance of one mile just after passing the west gate.

And when they just fled to the corner of the south gate, the Liao cavalry had already chased behind them.

In order to keep their companions alive, the four messengers then turned around to stop their pursuers.

The way the scouts blocked was unique to the Ming army, and they knew that their tired bodies could not stop the pursuing Liao army at all.

So, the way they chose was to detonate the grenade on their body.

Eight of them were detonated at the same time, blowing up more than a dozen Liao cavalry who rushed in front, so the pursuit of the Liao army slowed down.

At this moment, the messenger of the Ming army smoothly continued to rush south, opened the distance for several miles, and fled to the direction of Chengzhou in the Zhou state.

The defenders on the city wall were all moved, and as soldiers, they might not be able to do this, and what they couldn't do often made them feel envious and respectful, envious that the Ming army had soldiers who could die for their comrades, and respected the bravery of these four soldiers.

At this time, the cavalry of the Liao army cleaned up the chaos, and saw that more than a dozen people had been lost, so they shouted angrily and continued to pursue the six Ming troops in the distance.

At this time, Zheng En led eight guards and three hundred cavalry to quickly pour out from the north gate.

The Liao pursuers had already rushed through the south wall, with their backs to Zheng En and his party, and they were just caught off guard by Zheng En's entourage, and with only five casualties, Zheng En solved the Liao army of more than 80 people.

But at this time, the cavalry of the Liao army had already surrounded them, and they were not coming to target Zheng En, but to surround Weizhou City.

The way has been blocked, Zheng En actually doesn't want to go back, the purpose of his exit from the city is to rescue the messengers of the Six Ming Army, so Zheng En led three hundred cavalry to quickly chase after the six Ming Army.

The Ming army, which had been chased by Zheng En, was now wary of the Zhou army, and although they fled south together, they kept a distance from Zheng En, and after running twenty miles, the Ming messenger began to turn and head west.

Zheng En hurriedly stopped and asked, "Where do you want to go?" ”

The messenger of the Ming army replied: "I, the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, are coming to Weizhou City, and we must go to report the breach of trust by the Zhou State, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Zheng Enmao's face turned red, and the four words of Zhou Guo's betrayal made Zheng En uncomfortable like a slap in the face.

Zheng En knew that this really had to be informed, otherwise, Baili Wuji would just fall into the hands of the Liao army.

But he had the task of reporting to Chai Rongyu that the Liao army was going south, and after a little silence, Zheng En ordered two guards to go to Bianjing to report the news instead of him, and led the rest of the troops to move closer to the messenger of the Ming army.

Zheng Endao: "Zhou Guo has not betrayed his trust, you have also seen with your own eyes, the Liao army is moving south, and the Zhou army can only protect itself, although the strength is not enough, but a certain rate of more than 300 cavalry with you and other reinforcements is, if there is an accident, a certain will pay for the life of the eldest brother."
