Yin hexagram? What do you mean? Is it good or bad? Gong Changyu asked.

"General, your copper coin is not very easy to say." Hei Dashuai said, "It takes two crescent-shaped wooden planks to measure the hexagram." ”

"Sincerity is spirit, isn't it all the same?" Gong Changyu picked up the two copper plates again and re-measured them twice. It's weird, these two times it's turned heads! Hei Dashuai also picked up two copper plates, he threw them three times in a row, and he also threw out the yang hexagram, and was overjoyed: "Congratulations to the general, from the yin hexagram to the yang hexagram, it shows that although it is difficult for us to defend the city, there is still a great turnaround, since Mr. Xi Qitian came, Wuyoucheng has changed." ”

"Isn't it? Mr. Xi Qitian did not bring a soldier or a soldier, and came to us from Dong'an to give us advice, how difficult it is. Gong Changyu said.

"General, just now I saw that Wu Xiangming's walking posture was very similar to Jing Zhigang's son. It can't be that Jing Dapeng escaped from the Jing family's courtyard, right? Hei Dashuai guessed.

"Impossible. Lord Jing sent ten catchers to guard the courtyard, and Jing Dapeng couldn't get out. Unless he disguises himself and deceives the eyes of the fast catcher. Gong Changyu said.

"Then should we go to Lord Jing's house now to check if Jing Dapeng is still at home?" Hei Dashuai suddenly realized that things were very bad.

"Black handsome, I can't get out at all. Look at the blue wolf army in the direction of Namajiaqiao, they are building a new camp, and there must be a congregation of the Heaven and Earth Society joining in. Gong Changyu pointed to the smoky camp of the Blue Wolf Army in the west and said, "Why is it that the Battle of Baochengfu has ended for seven days, and General Yin Zongtang has not come to reinforce us?" ”

"They're not coming. The blue wolf army of Jingbei County, Jiangzuo County, and Jiangdong County organized 50 armies, divided into three northern expeditions, and went straight to the Beijing Division, General Yin Zongtang and General Liu Tianyou received the emperor's order and had already left Baocheng Mansion. Hei Dashuai explained.

"When?" Gong Changyu bent down and picked up two copper plates, rubbing them back and forth in his hands.

"It's been three days since the secret service received a secret letter from the scout, and in order not to shake the morale of the army and confuse the people, the quartermaster and the chief bookkeeper won't let me tell you." Hei Dashuai replied.

"Hey, these things can't be hidden...... However, the quartermaster did the right thing, and it was very detrimental to the defense of the city to release the information that the waiting for help had failed prematurely. Gong Changyu sighed.

At this time, Quartermaster Zhu Rongchu came up with Mr. Yin, Lu Zanchen and others. He panted and reported to Gong Changyu that 600,000 catties of 1 million catties of rice in the city had been used, and more than half of the dried meat had been used. If new methods are not adopted, the feeding of more than 100,000 people in the city will be a big problem.

"It seems that you can only rely on your own strength to defend Wuyou City, it's time to think about going out of the city to grab the food of the Blue Wolf Army." Gong Changyu drew his sword and pointed it out of the city.

As soon as he heard that he was going out of the city to fight the blue wolf army, the black marshal came to the spirit: "General, you give the order, sneak attack them, I will be the first to fight the vanguard!" ”

"General, count me in the mix." Zhang Weijun raised his hand to sign up.

"I'll go too."

"I'll go too." ……

The soldiers volunteered one by one, and took the initiative to go out of the city to fight happily with the blue wolf army, and in less than two minutes, Gong Changyu gathered more than 500 people around him.

"Brothers, there is a great danger to go out of the city to fight. Their forces are dozens of times that of me, and if they attack rashly, they will only die in vain. Gong Changyu was very calm.

"General, we are not afraid of death. Instead of starving to death in the city, it is better to rush out and slash, killing one is enough, and killing two will make money. Hei Dashuai said.

"Brothers, killing one or two blue wolf armies alone will not solve the fundamental problem. All of our soldiers add up to only 1,500 men, and we have to garrison forts, so our strength is very limited. We must outwit and not sacrifice a single soldier, because we cannot afford to fight a war of attrition. Gong Changyu said, "Therefore, General Ben decided to select 50 people from the veterans of the Jingjie Battalion and 50 people from the new army to form a commando team, mainly with the goal of burning the grain and grass of the Blue Wolf Army. ”

"General, their grain and grass are distributed everywhere, and we are afraid that it will be difficult to find them." Mr. Yin did not agree with Gong Changyu's guerrilla warfare method of burning grain and grass, "Our only way is to wait, and when the wolf army is short of food and grass, we will fight our way out of the encirclement together." ”

"Old man, you reminded me that General Ben still has 800 soldiers stationed in the area of Tiger Mountain, why don't you let them come to reinforce us?" Gong Changyu patted his head and smiled.

"yes, we forgot about them?" Hei Dashuai echoed.

"Who wants to go to Tiger Mountain to deliver a chicken feather letter?" Gong Changyu looked at the soldiers gathered around him and asked.

As soon as these words came out, no one stood up to answer, and Gong Changyu was very embarrassed: "It's impossible for me to run in person, right?" ”

"There are more than 200 miles from Wuyou City to Tiger Mountain, and it takes two days and two nights to walk. In the middle, you have to pass through the defense area of the Blue Wolf Army, and it is too dangerous to send the soldiers of the Jingjie Battalion to it. Hei Dashuai said.

"Isn't that just nothing?" Gong Changyu looked helpless, "Hei Dashuai, it's better for you to go." ”

"General, I really can't go. The blue wolf army under the city is very familiar with me, and I may have been recognized by them before I even left Deng's shop. Hei Dashuai shook his head and said, refusing to "catch the dart".

Since the black boss refused to go, the others were even more afraid to go. Everyone, look at me, I look at you, and the city wall was silent for a moment.

Tuk Tuk Tuk –

From under the castle tower, there was the sound of bamboo sticks taping the stone steps. A beggar came up with a chicken leg in his mouth and a steady pace. Gong Changyu looked at it fixedly, and the person who came was Rong Weishan.

Gong Changyu hurriedly ran down from the city tower and stretched out his arms to greet Rong Weishan: "Little brother, didn't you go to the Shuifu Temple in Baocheng Mansion?" ”

Everyone was surprised that Gong Changyu was so enthusiastic about a beggar and called him a brother.

"Shuifu Temple has been burned to the ground by Miao Peilin, and I have no place to live, so I have to come back again. Big brother, can you give me a tael of silver? Rong Weishan was straightforward and stretched out his hand.

"Aren't you eating chicken legs, what are you doing with silver?" Gong Changyu said with a smile.

"I fished out this chicken leg from a bucket at the Weixi River Fish Restaurant. If you don't believe it, you smell it, it smells a little bit. Rong Weishan took the chicken leg out of his mouth and handed it to Gong Changyu's nose.

"It stinks." Gong Changyu hurriedly covered his nose with one hand, fanned the air with the other, and motioned for Rong Weishan to go away.

"Big brother, I've roasted this chicken leg over the fire several times, and it still smells a little stinky." Rong Weishan said with a smile, and did not go away, but gnawed the chicken leg to the bone in a few bites.

"Brother, when you came from Baocheng Mansion, did you see the Jingnan Army stationed in Tiger Mountain?" Gong Changyu asked.

"Big brother, that army has already gone to Jiangdong County with General Yin Zongtang to attack Li Xiucheng. You're counting on them to reinforce Wuyu City. Rong Weishan bit off the chicken leg bone in one bite, "Is this information of mine valuable?" ”

"Of course." Gong Changyu nodded slightly.

"Then give me the money, big brother." Rong Weishan opened his black hand.

Gong Changyu took out a tael of silver from his body and stuffed it into Rong Weishan's hand: "That's why I brought so much." In the evening, you come to the county office, and I will give you another two taels, how about it? ”

"Enough, enough. One or two is enough for me to eat for ten days and half a month. Rong Weishan smiled, "Big brother, recently I also found that there are dozens of beggars in the city inexplicably, and their whereabouts are very suspicious. ”

"Oh. Let's hear about it. Gong Changyu was taken aback.

"This group of beggars wandered the streets and alleys during the day, wandering around the city walls, and returned to Huilong Temple at night. They thought that I was also the internal response of the Blue Wolf Army, and they dragged me to the incense room of Huilong Temple for a few nights......" Rong Weishan said as he went up to the castle tower.

"And is there any one of these beggars who is the leader?" Gong Changyu asked.

"For the time being, I can't tell who's the leader." Rong Weishan responded.

"Then you keep inquiring for me." Gong Changyu grabbed Rong Weishan's hand and clenched it tightly, "Everything depends on you." ”

"Big brother. The beggars are changing every day, and I can't tell how many of them there are. Rong Weishan lay down on the base of the fort, "It's still comfortable here, the sun is warm and the air is fresh." ”

"Little brother, this is not the place to sleep. You'd better hurry down to the bottom of the tower. If it doesn't attract the attention of those in the Blue Wolf Army. Hei Dashuai reminded.

"Oh yes." Rong Weishan got up and trotted down the city tower.

Afterwards, the black marshal drove Rong Weishan down the fort with a saber, and shouted while chasing: "You stinky beggar, run to the city wall to ask for food, you don't want to die!" ”

"Master Jun, spare your life-" Rong Weishan descended from the city tower, like an arrow off the string

Of course, this is for the beggars in the city. Rong Weishan ran faster and faster, ran farther and farther, and even lost his straw sandals. Hei Dashuai still couldn't "catch" Rong Weishan, and scolded angrily in the back: "Next time I come to the city tower to ask for food, I have to cut off your leg!" ”……

After Rong Weishan left, Gong Changyu took people to the courtyard where Jing Zhigang lived, and he wanted to check whether Jing Dapeng was still in the courtyard. If it weren't for Jing Dapeng who took away the silver in the underground palace of Wangcheng, he didn't want to waste his limited manpower on this, so he directly pulled him out and killed him.

As soon as they arrived at the door, the two arresters who were monitoring Jing Dapeng arched their hands and said, "General, what are your orders here?" ”

"Is Jing Dapeng still in the yard?" Gong Changyu asked.

"Yes. That guy is very honest, and he has never been out of the gate for half a step. A catcher responded.
