Chapter 16: Sneaking In
Zhao Guangyi had just come down from the command platform, still wearing armor and carrying a long sword, glaring at Zhao Ting angrily.
Zhao Ting hurriedly shouted: "Third brother, why do you want to beat the junior brother!" ”
Zhao Guangyi's eyes widened and said, "Why don't you fight?" Missing for two days. Do you know that if you are captured alive by Li Chongjin and tied to the city wall as a hostage, will this Yangzhou City be attacked or not?
Zhao Ting raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this a good little brother, he wasn't captured alive!" ”
"And where did you go for two days when you were missing?" Zhao Guangyi roared.
Zhao Ting smiled and took out a parchment roll from the placket, walked over and handed it to Zhao Kuangyin.
said: "Brother Huang, my brother is fortunate not to be dishonored, this is the Yangzhou defense map!"
Zhao Guangyi shouted: "What? Did you really get the arming map? Ha ha...... There's your bart. Then the whip will be spared. ”
"In order not to be whipped by the third brother, the younger brother will fight to get it!"
Then Zhengse said: "But I really don't dare to take credit this time." This defense map was not stolen from the Li Mansion. It's a gift from someone else. ”
"Someone else's gift?"
"Who's going to give it?"
Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi asked at the same time.
"Yun Family!"
"Yangzhou's Yun family?" Zhao Guangyi asked again.
Zhao Ting nodded, "I easily entered the Li Mansion." But in Li Chongjin's secret room, he met a man in white. The martial arts were extremely high, and he was injured as a result. ”
"Someone else can hurt you?" Zhao Guangyi gritted his teeth and said, "After breaking through Yangzhou, arrest him and put him to death." ”
Zhao Ting shook his head, "I'm afraid it's impossible to catch him." I have thought about it all in this river and lake, and I can't figure out who it is. I just heard that Li Chongjin wanted to ask him to assassinate the imperial brother. ”
"The thief is ruthless!" Zhao Guangyi scolded.
"But I don't know if he agreed, no matter what, he can't take it lightly, and the imperial brother's guard must be strengthened."
Zhao Kuangyin nodded, "You can rest assured!" Then how did you escape from the Li Mansion when you were injured? ”
"Several black-clothed masked men rescued their younger brothers from the white-clothed men, and their martial arts skills are very high."
"Who is that?"
"At first, I didn't know who it was. Later, he woke up in a green bamboo forest. When I saw the eldest lady of the Yun family, she not only healed the injuries of her brother, but also presented her with a defense map. ”
"So those black-clothed masked people who saved you are also from the Yun family?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.
Zhao Ting nodded, "Brother Chen thinks so too." ”
Zhao Guangyi listened quietly.
He remembered Yun Moxi's appearance, and remembered the big, bright eyes that seemed to be able to speak.
I often can't help but think about it.
So he asked, "Is Yun Moxi okay?" ”
"Her name is Yun Moxi?" Zhao Ting said with some regret, "The younger brother only met from afar, and then fainted." I never saw him again. ”
Zhao Guangyi remembered that a year ago, he went to Yunfu in person, but she refused in person, and he never let go of his heart.
"Hmph, the Yun family refused to unite with our Zhao family at the beginning. Now he is willing to take the initiative to help, but I am afraid that it is the nature of this businessman, and seeing that the imperial brother is already the emperor, he wants to come and make a connection? ”
Zhao Kuangyin said: "I have been secretly supported by a force over the years, which has helped me a lot. But they were all secretly and anonymously helping, providing huge military funds several times, as well as important and timely news. Therefore, I suspect that it is the Yun family in Yangzhou that has this strength, and it is also a temptation to send you to visit in the first place. ”
"If you are willing to help, why don't you want to make it public? Or refuse to your face? Zhao Guangyi asked.
"This may be the consideration of the Yun family, and now that they have saved the fourth brother, in short, it is fortunate that they are friends and not enemies."
Zhao Ting said thoughtfully: "Presumably the time has not come!" ”
"Timing? What timing? Yun Moxi said the same thing at the beginning. Zhao Guangyi asked.
"The world was in turmoil. Who can rule the world, let the country and the people be safe, and build a long-term and strong country. The Yun family's power is very important, and they must be looking for a real overlord to appear. ”
"The imperial brother is eloquent and strategic, isn't he the overlord. What else is there for the Yun family to consider. Hum! Zhao Guangyi was still angry about Yun Moxi's refusal.
Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: "The Great Song Dynasty has just been established, and there are still so many separatist regimes in this Central Plains. We still have a long way to go. One day the Central Plains will be unified, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. The Yun family will naturally support it. ”
"Hmph......" Zhao Guangyi sneered, "By that time, the world will be unified, what else do you want it to support the Yun family?" Isn't that a bargain? ”
"Third brother, it is difficult to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but what is even more difficult is that if a country is established, long-term peace and stability is the key."
Zhao Ting continued: "As the saying goes, it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country. When the world is unified, if you want to govern the country well, you need the support of a business giant like the Yun family. ”
Zhao Guangyi waved his hand impatiently.
"What you said is certainly reasonable, I am just angry at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, and there are many difficulties, if the Yun family can help, it will be able to unify the world as soon as possible. But this Yun family still has to wait for some time. ”
Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile: "The Yun family has helped a lot, and the huge amount of money last time and the deployment map this time are of great help." As long as the Great Song Dynasty takes the world as its own responsibility, I believe that soon the Yun family will take the initiative to mention the matter of unity. ”
Zhao Guangyi snorted: "When our brothers unify the world, see that Yun Moxi is still arrogant in front of this king." ”
I thought that one day, if I wanted Yun Mo to obediently submit, I could also get out of the previous rejection.
I can't say why, I'm always inexplicably angry with her, and I often think of her.
Always looking forward to the day when she can look up at herself softly.
Zhao Ting was also thinking in his heart that he would definitely go to see her again when Yangzhou City was captured.
It turns out that her name is Moxi......
The two of them are thinking about each other.
"Come and take a look at this." Over there, Zhao Kuangyin shouted, he stared at the parchment roll, and his face was happy.
The two stood up and gathered around.
Looking carefully at the deployment map, the map marks the detailed distribution of Yangzhou's defense forces.
What's more, there is a place marked with a red dot and a few small words: This place can be sneaked in!
The three of them looked at each other, some surprised and a little puzzled.
"Is this credible?" Zhao Guangyi hesitated.
Zhao Kuangyin pondered for a while, and finally nodded.
"If she is so marked, she must be able to!" Zhao Ting did not hesitate, his face was happy, "Brother Chen, take someone to dig a secret passage from the outside." Without knowing it, the gods can enter the city to meet the army outside. ”
"It's good, it's just that you just returned from a serious injury, so it's better to take care of your body!" Zhao Kuangyin said.
"The imperial doctor has seen it all just now. No big deal! Tomorrow night, the younger brother will take someone there, and then the third brother will answer outside and act when he sees the signal. ”
Zhao Kuangyin thought about it and had to nod.
So the three brothers discussed the details.
The other generals were summoned to discuss and a new siege strategy was decided.
The next day, the siege was still carried out as usual, and the troops were withdrawn at noon.
It's night.
The camps inside and outside the city were silent, and both sides were tired from the continuous fighting.
The soldiers relaxed and fell asleep.
Zhao Ting led a team of men and horses to lurk at night by the city wall marked on the defense map.
