Chapter 105: A cry of helplessness
The development of the situation was even more serious than she imagined, the Xianbei cavalry was too fierce, the whole city of Shuozhou was frightened, and the rumors of destroying the city were very loud, many people fled from Shuozhou, or went east or south, and in a few days, Shuozhou City was about to become an empty city.
"The Xianbei cavalry is so sharp, you can send an urgent letter to the national capital, Zhao ...... Has the emperor ordered reinforcements to come, when will they arrive?" The situation is stronger than people, even if Zhou Jinhuan no longer wants to believe it, he has to admit that he can only expect Zhao Yu's reinforcements now, otherwise they will all finish the game.
"The emperor's letter said that he would send 8,000 cavalry to help, but the distance between Yecheng and Shuozhou was too far, and by the time they arrived at Shuozhou City, they were afraid that they would have fallen. Zhang Zilang frowned, and Hei Asan next to him scolded on the side: "This emperor Lao'er's idea is really strange, this Yecheng is so far away from Shuozhou, why don't you know to let the nearby state capital lend a hand, isn't this letting us die?"
The words are not rough, Hei Asan said the thoughts of everyone present: This Shuozhou City is the northern lock key of Dayan, if it is lost, the entire north of Dayan will be under the control of Xianbei, even if Zhao Yu doesn't like a few of them, he won't joke about his own country, right?
Thinking of this, Zhou Jinhuan's heart became even more chaotic.
Zhang Zilang, Hei Asan, Zheng Liu, Rujin, Cao Ming, Fan Zhi, several people were sitting there, no one could speak, and so was she Zhou Jinhuan.
Stratagem is such a thing as a matter that only works between two people whose power is balanced, and if there is a disparity in the strength of two people, even if Zhuge Kongming is alive, it will not help.
To deal with Xianbei, only with strength, there is no room for luck and slippery, and only violence is left to deal with violence, however......
Although Zhang Zilang has combat experience, he is a scholarly general who is like a lamb to the slaughter in the face of the wolf-like Xianbei cavalry; although Hei Asan is full of violence, he can only charge into battle, and it is no problem to keep a few people to break out of the encirclement, but he can't protect Shuozhou City; Cao, Fan Liang has the most actual combat experience, but they can only deal with the cavalry of the Great Zhao State, and the Xianbei cavalry is forgotten; while Zheng Liu is a typical civilian official, he is simply powerless; Rujin can play with guns and sticks, but most of them are flowers, beautiful but not practical, this battlefield is too realistic and bloody, and it is not suitable for her at all.
So, what countermeasures can they think of, they are simply waiting for death!
"It's not early, and the night is a sensitive time, so you better go and see the barracks more. ”
A circle of people like this, you look at me, I look at you, it's better to go back and do your own things step by step.
After sending everyone away, she locked herself in the room, and a sense of powerlessness surrounded her, which she had never felt before, so she buried her head in her knees and sobbed softly: "What can I do now, Jingzhi, it is estimated that those Xianbei people will rush to the city in a few days, what should I do, what should I do to keep my promise to you, what should I ......do?"
The knock on the door made her tears fall away at once, and she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and she took a sip of tea: "Who?"
"Madam, it's me, Wan'er. ”
She took a few deep breaths, patted her swollen face, walked over and opened the door: "It's not early, why don't you rest?"
"At the end of the month, I'm going to Yecheng. ”
Since Xiao Jingzhi left, the word "time" has no sense of existence in her, thinking about it carefully, it has really been half a month since she returned to Yecheng last time, and it is time for her to go back and report the situation to Zhao Yu.
"Then I'll leave?" Su Wan was about to leave, but Zhou Jinhuan suddenly grabbed her, and her tone was a little urgent: "You wait first!"
She took a pen and wrote a letter almost without thinking, this letter was written by her to Zhao Yu, the purpose was to ask him to order the surrounding state capitals to send reinforcements, she believed that if there were more reinforcements, it would not be impossible to turn the tide of the war.
As Hei Asan said, they really can't count on Yecheng's reinforcements, so they can only beg him to give an order.
"Wan'er, this letter is very important, very important, you must hand it over to Zhao Yu in person, the safety of the entire Shuozhou is in one fell swoop, do you understand?" Stuffing the letter into her hand, Zhou Jinhuan's expression was a rare panic, and when she was about to leave, she asked out loud: "I know that you are good at kung fu, and you will be back in three or four days, right?"
"Yes. "There was nothing to hide, she was on her own, riding a good BMW, and she had light skills, and she was much faster than the average army.
"Wan'er, please, thank you. The relationship between her and Su Wan is to look near but far away, she shouldn't have handed over such a life-and-death matter to her, but now there is no way, only she can ask for it.
"Madame's kind of seriousness when she says that. Su Wan obviously didn't expect Zhou Jinhuan to use the word "begging" for her.
After packing up her things slightly, she left overnight, but her destination was not Yecheng, but Zhangzhou City, where Xiao Jingzhi was located.
In fact, it was not only Zhang Zilang who received Zhao Yu's secret letter, but also her, Su Wan.
The secret letter that Zhao Yu gave her was very simple, asking her to go to Xiao Jingzhi and tell the truth about Shuozhou City.
"I'm sorry. Su Wan wanted to tear up the letter written by Zhou Jinhuan, but in the end she couldn't get her hands down, put it in her sleeve, and went to Zhangzhou City without looking back.
Zhangzhou City is farther away from Shuozhou than Yecheng, and when she hurried to Zhangzhou City, it was already three days later.
The gate of Zhangzhou City was closed, she didn't understand the situation at all, so she had to jump up the city tower lightly with light skills, everything was calm, but the army kept patrolling the streets: Could it be that the war in Zhangzhou is not over yet, but what about the soldiers of Daliang State?
If she appeared in front of Xiao Jingzhi's eyes recklessly now, he would definitely be suspicious, so she secretly hid in the city tower and stayed up all night this night, and when the sun finally hung in the sky, she wiped the dirt on the ground on her face and followed the soldiers patrolling the streets to find the barracks.
"This military master, please let me meet General Xiao, I am Mrs. Xiao's personal maid, and I have something to report to the general urgently. She didn't rest all night, her eyes were swollen at this time, and her mouth was a little dry, the soldier guarding the door was going to drive her away when she saw her like this, she had an idea, and thought of Zhou Jinhuan's handwritten letter in her sleeve, and hurriedly handed the letter over, and at the same time her tone was much colder and tougher: "This is Mrs. Xiao's handwriting, you'd better hand it over to General Xiao immediately, if you delay the military plane, you don't have to ask for the life of your family!"
It is human nature to bully the soft and fear the hard many times, just like the guard in front of him, after hearing Su Wan's threat, he immediately took the letter and reported it.
Xiao Jingzhi came earlier than she imagined, she didn't like Xiao Jingzhi very much, but she also had to admit his infatuation with Zhou Jinhuan.
"How is Jinhuan now, what is the situation in Shuozhou City?" Xiao Jingzhi is still as good-looking and outrageous as before, even if there is a short opening on his fair face, it does not make that good-looking discount, but more manly, more fascinating.
"Madame, she ......" she fainted after only three words, seven points of disguise, three points of truth.
In fact, she has always had an intuition, but she doesn't want to wake up so early at the moment, otherwise it will be too unnatural, and it will not match the dust on her face and her hoarse voice.
Naturally, the doctor couldn't find out anything, but it was reasonable to say that he was overworked.
"When she woke up, she called me. I could hear that he was forcibly suppressing his panic.
Xiao Jingzhi, who came out of the big tent on his own, read the letter again, Zhou Jinhuan's handwriting is too familiar to her, and it will definitely not be forged, but what happened in Shuozhou, why did he borrow troops from the surroundings, he was too obedient, Zhou Jinhuan asked him to only stare at the war in Zhangzhou City, he really only stared at Zhangzhou City, and he didn't know anything about Shuozhou City!
"Have those people in Daliang Country been a little more honest recently?" Since he sat in Zhangzhou City, the siege of Zhangzhou has been resolved, but there are always small groups of homeless soldiers to invade Zhangzhou, they are well versed in the terrain, and they run away after fighting, even he didn't think of a good way, otherwise he would have returned to Shuozhou a long time ago.
"Back to General Xiao, they are all rabble, otherwise you ......" His lieutenant was interrupted by Xiao Jingzhi before he finished speaking: "It was the same last time, I just led some soldiers out of the gate of Zhangzhou City, and they came, the key is that they are only the vanguard, and they have Hu He and their brigade after them, this is definitely not good......"
In the face of Hu He's tactics, he really had a headache, he went to Zhangzhou City these days, the first half of the time was thinking about the matter of lifting the siege, and the second half of the time was thinking about how to deal with the infestation of the homeless, but he has been unable to do it.
They are like cunning gophers, dexterous and difficult, and difficult to guard against.
"General Xiao, the woman is awake. The soldier's briefing made him stand up suddenly: "Take me quickly, you, go and ask for a doctor." ”
When he arrived in the tent, Su Wan was about to salute, he stopped her and asked directly: "Madame is good in Xiao Mansion, how is the situation in Shuozhou now?"
Su Wan told the truth, and the more he listened, the more his eyebrows wrinkled, until he finally heard Zhao Yu say that he would send troops from Yecheng to help, and his hand creaked.
"You've worked hard all the way, doctor, give this girl a good look. ”
After this time, Xiao Jingzhi's face became even more ugly: Su Wan was her personal maid, and she rarely left her side, when he saw Su Wan, he had a bad premonition, but he never thought that the premonition would be so accurate!
Now, he is trapped in Zhangzhou City by Hu He's homeless soldier tactics and can't move, and Shuozhou City, where she is far away, is facing the fate of being trampled by the hooves of the Xianbei cavalry.
