Chapter 57: Breaking the Levee Doesn't Make a Fate
"The spies came to report, Li Fen has already sent troops, and it is expected to arrive in Wuzhou City tomorrow night." Wu Zhibo said.
"I know about this, when I went to see Miss Xiangyan just now, Miss Xiangyan already told me." Xiangyan answered Wu Zhibo's question just now.
That's what happened! It's really a big deal!
"Therefore, I don't know what good plan the envoy Zhao has to inform Miss Xiang?" Zhuge Xian asked.
"Bursting the levee!" Xiangyan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"Bursting the levee?" Everyone said in unison, all of them had doubts about this.
Only Zhuge Xian knew Zhao Yan's intentions, and then said meaningfully: "I see, Young Master Zhao's plan is really a plan to retreat from the enemy and collect the territory!" ”
"Why did the military advisor say that?" Tian Shaoqian asked puzzled, he only knew that the embankment outside the city would be broken! That's going to be a disaster!
"When the Yunyang soldiers go to the city, break the embankment and release the flood, and flood the three armies, they can annihilate the enemy army without spending a single soldier! This is a retreat from the enemy. After the embankment broke, the flood was raging, the farmland was destroyed, the forest and swamp were restored to the ocean, the plague was rampant, the people were sick, no one came to and from Wuzhou, we were in a predicament, if Zhao Shaozhu led the troops to come, he could get Wu without much effort, this is to collect Wu. Zhuge Xian explained.
That's a clever idea! But not to them, but to Zhao Yan!
"Can't break the embankment!" Tian Shaoqian was shocked when he heard this! It can't be broken. If the levee breaks! His father, his home! And the entire city of Wuzhou will cease to exist!
Chen Bian: "Yes, I can't decide. ”
Kong Yanli: "This embankment can't be decided!" ”
Li Chunyi: "Brother Zilan, this embankment can't be broken." ”
Ziying: "As a monarch, he should have made a living for the people, but if it was for temporary profit, he would do such a catastrophic thing!" Are we not going to be infamous through the ages? The lord of the incense city is self-respecting. ”
Guan Duyi: "Why don't we withdraw from Wuzhou City?" Back to the state from the long-term plan? ”
Kong Yanli: "No! If we withdraw our troops, what will happen to the people? Li Taishou will definitely turn Wuzhou City into a dead city! ”
……
A group of people chattered and deliberated for half an hour...... An Hour......
Xiangyan never said a word except for the first two sentences.
She was thinking...... What kind of troops can win more with less? Defeating the strong with the weak?
"Lord!" Lu Yong suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed!
"Lu Yong? What are you doing? Get up! Xiangyan went up to help, but Lu Yong didn't move.
Seeing that Lu Yong was so resolute, Xiangyan said calmly: "If you have something to say, let's talk about it directly." She had already vaguely guessed what Lu Yong wanted to say.
"Chen Lu Yong, the three generations of my ancestors died on the battlefield for resisting foreign invaders to protect the territory and the people! Since the minister has been loyal to the lord, he often feels sorry for the time lost in vain, fortunately he was left with a life when the lord gambled his life, and changed the heavenly wheel of the minister, and the minister should follow the legacy of the ancestors, protect the realm of the lord, and the people of the lord, even if he died on the battlefield, the minister did not hesitate! So, the minister petitions! Please order the ministers to fight to the death with Lifen! To repay the grace of the Lord's public knowledge! Lu Yong still kowtowed to the ground and said loudly.
"Everything started because of His Majesty, and His Majesty is willing to stay and accompany Captain Lu." Zhuge Xian also knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Wuzhou City is the hometown of the minister! Wu Fan is brutal and unkind, but fortunately, the lord is fighting Wu Fu Wuchang! The new law of Master Wu and Ziying Gongzi has brought Wuzhou City back to life, such a great grace! There is nothing to be rewarded! The minister is also willing to work with Captain Lu! Fight to the death! Tian Shaoqian also knelt and kowtowed.
"Since Uncle Lu and the military advisor stayed, then I will ...... too" Guan Duyi wanted to stay too, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Lu Yong...... "Captain Guan!" The lord and the ministers will entrust you! Strategist, you are our wise man, and you will follow the lord with you......"
"Enough!" Xiangyan said sharply, and all the people present were silent, as if time stood still.
Xiangyan squatted down, put her hand on Lu Yong's shoulder, and smiled knowingly: "If you are gone, how can you witness the Lu family get rid of the stigma?" ”
Lu Yong raised his head when he heard this, and a tear fell quietly.
"Report!" The doorman shouted to report.
"What's the disturbance? It's not that it's an extraordinary time! Don't bother! Wu Zhibo said impatiently to the doorman.
"Master Wu, this person outside the door is not an ordinary person, and the villain can't call the shots, so he can only come to report." The doorman said innocently, this person outside the door wants to see the lord, he really doesn't dare to refuse the door!
Wu Zhibo: "There are no rules, there is no circle!" We're talking about something important! It doesn't matter who it is! Let the man go back. ”
"But ......" the doorman was bitter in his heart, and he couldn't tell it.
"Okay, you all get up first, Wu Zhibo, don't bully him! Say, "Who is coming?" Xiangyan first asked Lu Yong and them to get up, then glared at Wu Zhibo, and finally asked the doorman.
The doorman bowed his head and said, "It's Master Ruan Yuruan." ”
"Ruan Yu?! Hurry up, hurry up! Please let him in! Never mind! Forget it, I'll go and invite it myself! Xiangyan was overjoyed when she heard this, and walked towards the gate of the mansion in three steps and two steps.
Xiangyan opened the door, it was Ruan Yu! But there was also a woman by his side, that woman's hair was tied up high, her face was stunning and beautiful, her expression was as cold as ice, and she was wearing an off-the-shoulder suit with a collar? With two swords on her back, although she is a woman, she gives people the feeling that she is the kind of woman who does not let her eyebrows, Xiangyan just looked at it twice, and only regarded it as Ruan Yu's doorman, and did not care too much.
"Ruan Gongzi, I haven't seen you for many days, like every three autumns!" Xiangyan stepped forward and held Ruan Yu's hand tightly and said excitedly.
"The lord of Xiangcheng has every opportunity to work hard for Wuzhou City day and night, as soon as the new law comes out, the people are cheering, how can there be time to take care of a small person like me? However, thanks to the blessing of the lord of Xiangxiang, I have been much cleaner recently, and I can really do business as well as a businessman. Ruan Yu said as he held Xiangyan's hand.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Young Master Ruan, let's not be so polite." Xiangyan made a gesture towards Ruan Yu, without Ruan Yu's assistance, there would be no her now.
"What Xiang Gongzi said is very true, I visited late at night this time because I heard that Li Fen will be in the city tomorrow night, but is there such a thing?" Ruan Yu also replied with a straight face, and said solemnly.
When Xiangyan heard Ruan Yu say that Li Fenbing was coming to the city, her eyebrows were tightly locked, and she pulled him into the inner hall in a hurry, and the woman who followed Ruan Yu just followed slowly, looking left and right.
"Mu Yu, meet again after a long absence, don't come to harm?" Zhuge Xian saw Ruan Yu come in and greeted him.
"Brother Xian, Wu Cheng's farewell is like yesterday! We've all been through a lot, and we don't say we're sick or okay, at least, we're still alive. Ruan Yu also replied with a salute and said a little self-deprecatingly.
The two of them were silent, since Xiangyan and they conquered Wuzhou City, Zhuge Xian and Ruan Yu had not met each other......
Now I see this, and the past is vivid.
It's hard to put into words.
A wife and daughter died.
One can't help himself.
Wu Zhibo just nodded when he met Ruan Yu's eyes.
Tacit.
That's it.
Xiang Yan broke the atmosphere of their old acquaintance and asked, "Where did Gongzi Ruan hear about the arrival of Li Fen soldiers in the city?" ”
"Senior Brother Jiuli told us." A female voice came from outside the hall to answer for Ruan Yu, and I saw a heroic woman walking over.
"Little junior sister?!" "Little junior sister?!"
When Wu Zhibo and Zhuge Xian saw the comer, they were all so shocked that they shouted!
How did she go down the mountain!
"You know?" Xiangyan wondered, isn't this person Ruan Yu's bodyguard?
"Yes, lord, this is the granddaughter of me and my virtuous master, Dugu Ying." Wu Zhibo introduced.
"Isn't the little junior sister cultivating Buddhism in the Taizhou Temple? How did you meet Ye Jiuli again? Zhuge Xian asked.
Ye Jiu is away from the yin and yang, his whereabouts are erratic, among the eighteen of them, he is the most out of place, he is not close to anyone, he has no friction with anyone, and he has a lot of feelings of not being happy with things and not being sad with himself.
"Yes, I was originally concentrating on Buddhism in Taizhou Temple, but last night Senior Brother Jiuli came to me, saying that it was Yunyang Soldiers, Senior Brother Xian, you will break the embankment and retreat from the enemy, for the people of Wuzhou, for the place where my grandfather lived, for the place where I am full of memories, Senior Brother Jiuli persuaded me to go down the mountain to help you, so, I came." Dugu Ying simply explained, she spoke as cold as ice, obviously righteous and awe-inspiring, but without emotion.
"So good! Captain Lu, Captain Guan's old injuries have not healed, and with the help of the little sister, he can fight hard! Zhuge Xian said excitedly.
There can be a "sword spirit" Dugu Ying to help, and it is not afraid to fight hard! That's for morale! It's a big improvement!
Wu Zhibo asked: "Ye Jiuli, that kid is also in Wuzhou?" How did he know that Yunyang had sent troops and we were going to break the embankment? ”
Dugu Ying: "Senior Brother Jiuli's whereabouts are uncertain, he talked to me for a while last night, and then disappeared, as for how he knew that he was going to break the embankment, he didn't say it explicitly. ”
Ruan Yu: "Ye Jiuli also came to me last night, and he also said something similar to me, and the more accurate news is that Li Fenming will besiege the city!" I knew that the situation was urgent, so I asked the housekeeper in the mansion to buy all the weapons available in the city! Tonight, I will secretly send it to the City Lord's Mansion, and tomorrow I will prepare a boat, open the north gate, and evacuate the people safely to Pingshan Island for refuge. ”
Xiangyan said excitedly: "I really don't know where to start! ”
The gap in armament can be regarded as making up for a little!
Ruan Yu waved his hand and said: "No need to say thank you, slaughtering the city, or Xiang Gongzi breaking the embankment, it is a headache for me, I help you, and I am also helping myself, not to mention that there are still things I need to protect in this Wuzhou City, I wish Xiang Gongzi a prosperous and victorious victory!" ”
"Ruan Gongzi is a true gentleman." Xiangyan exclaimed. And I made up my mind in my heart! Be sure to win over Ruan Yu to join them!
"Even with the help of the two, the disadvantage of our army has not changed." Ziying said like cold water at this time.
Yes, it's still a disadvantage!
However, the gear of disadvantage was turned around......
