Chapter Ninety-Nine: Reinforcements Arrive
It must be Luo Shicheng who is here, I saw that Gu Liuxian didn't care about me at all, and he was always guarding against me, so he turned around and walked out of the lobby. I have to keep Lu Yuxiu and Lu Jia safe. Anyway, Gu Liu wouldn't kill Tie Xuan first.
If Tie Xuan is killed, Jinan City will definitely not be able to hold it, and he Gu Liuxian will definitely die.
As soon as I came out, I ran into Wuchen and two women rushing over.
"What are you bringing them over?" Although I was relieved to see that Lu Jia and Lu Yuxiu were fine, I still had to complain that Wuchen had no brains to run around.
"Isn't that worrying that you're in danger when you're alone inside? Wuchen said and turned his head towards the yamen, "What's going on outside?"
"Luo Shicheng is here. ”
"Who is Luo Shicheng?"
"The one who caught us earlier. ”
"Yes, his name is Luo Shicheng. Wuchen remembered, "Isn't he and us unable to pee in the same pot?"
How can I answer this question, I can only frown and nod. Anyway, it's a bit of a dog-eat-dog smell here, so let's stay away.
"Let's go, while they're in a mess. ”
It's not so easy to go, originally Wuchen and I could go out over the wall, but Lu Jia and Lu Yuxiu couldn't, so they could only go through the gate.
But two groups of people at the gate of the yamen were tense there, and one could fight if he was not careful. If you go out rashly like this, you may become a target.
"Then go through the back door. "Dustless has a straighter brain.
To be honest, I've been in the prefect's yamen for so long, and I really didn't know there was a back door in this place. Then look for it, I really found it. However, the back door is not necessarily wider than the front door, the small door is locked, and more than a dozen Gu Liuxian's subordinates are scolding Luo Shicheng's men outside the door.
When the soldiers inside saw us coming, they immediately became nervous, and regardless of the shouting and scolding outside, they all turned around and faced us with swords.
Forget it, don't have the same knowledge as them, after all, there are two female dependents. I beckoned Wuchen to lead the two of them to the front door. Those soldiers have a task on their bodies, so naturally there is no need to chase them.
When we returned to the main gate of the yamen, Gu Liuxian was already there with Tie Xuan.
"What should I do?"
I always feel that Wuchen has asked this question several times.
"Let's see. "Shouldn't you just wait and see at this time, it's boring to walk around looking for a small door.
There will always be a time when things will be resolved, either Tie Xuan will take out the grain and compromise, or Gu Liu will not want the food first, and obediently go back to defend the city, waiting for the horse meat of their camp to be distributed. Either Gu Liu fought with Luo Shicheng first.
Personally, I prefer two people to fight, and I've seen them fight half a time before, but I haven't seen it enjoyable.
"Let go of Lord Tie!" It's the first time I've seen Luo Shicheng with such a black face, and it's also an expression of his.
"Unless he takes out the grain hidden in the city of Jinan. Whoever doesn't want to keep it to the end will starve to death, and who else can keep it to the end. ”
"It's nonsense, where is the food in this city? The horses have all been killed. ”
"You ask Lord Tie, if there is really no food, will he open the city gate and surrender!" Gu Liu kicked the ball to Tie Xuan first.
"What about surrender?"
"Surrender? If we really surrender, will a general like you and me, who has the blood of the Northern Army on his hands, still have his life?"
"Sticking to it is not death, and it will drag so many people down. ”
Now I understand that this is what Tie Hyun means. In fact, it doesn't matter whether there is food in the city or not, it is impossible for Jinan City to be held for a year, and it is even more impossible for Zhu Di to drag on in Jinan for a year. There will always be a day when the food will run out, and it is only a matter of time before the city is broken.
Tie Hyun has already given up resistance, he wants to create a situation where he runs out of ammunition and food, and then gives him enough reason to convince the people of the city and himself to surrender.
It may have been a mistake for him to recapture Jinan City when he cleaned up the remnants of the army, but if he held it for one more day, many more people would die. In this war, all people are innocent.
Obviously, following Tie Xuan, Luo Shicheng has been brainwashed by him and has accepted this point of view.
"If it has come down now, then what is the point of the previous hard work?
Gu Liuxian was able to say this kind of thing, which shows that his face is really thick. The words themselves are true, and they are exactly the opposite of Tie Hyun's surrender argument. But it is a little awkward to say it from the mouth of such a pervert with a pedophile. He is not the kind of person who will put national righteousness and benevolence and morality at the forefront.
"Gu Qianhu, there is really no grain and grass in Jinan City. Tie Xuan suddenly said, "It's all my fault as a sour Confucian scholar, maybe King Yan's usurpation of the throne is destined by God." I should not have taken a city of people against him. If I could exchange my life for the peace of Jinan City, I would die without regrets. ”
Of course, you die without regrets, take your life in exchange for the lives of hundreds of thousands of Jinan people, and you will become a hero of Jinan. I haven't counted how many merit shrines Jinan Mansion has set up for you in later generations, but there must be.
"You can vent your anger when you surrender and Zhu Di kills you alone?" Gu Liu didn't eat his "Gao Feng Liangjie" set, "Now you are riding a tiger and it is difficult to stop, you have to guard it, and you have to guard it if you don't keep it." ”
The two groups of people were deadlocked, and Wuchen, Lu Jia, and Lu Yuxiu and I had no chance to go out at all.
"Gu Liu will not kill Lord Tie first. My brain twitched and said: "Once Lord Tie dies, even if there is enough food and grass, Jinan City will not be able to hold it." ”
Sometimes they have a lot of brains, and someone has to get to the point. Luo Shicheng listened to my words, hesitated, shook a sword flower with a sword in his hand, and stabbed at Gu Liu first. This was like a clarion call for attack, and the soldiers behind Luo Shicheng rushed up with swords. In an instant, the gate of the prefect's yamen became lively.
Fortunately, the people in the city are estimated to be hungry and don't have the strength to come out to see the excitement, let alone the mood to see the excitement. Otherwise, this kind of fighting in the nest will be very demoralizing.
Gu Liu first looked at Luo Shicheng's sword and was still two feet away from him, then dodged behind Tie Xuan and pushed Tie Xuan forward. Luo Shicheng also changed his moves quickly, the tip of the sword was off, and the person followed the sword, and came to Gu Liuxian's side with a cross step. is still that move, the sword has no tricks and is pointed directly at Gu Liuxian.
Gu Liuxian was a little dead-faced, and his body had been hiding behind Tie Xuan, and he asked Tie Xuan to help him block it at a critical moment. He can't kill Tie Xuan, and he also knows that Luo Shicheng won't kill Tie Xuan. The two of them were hiding in front of Tie Hyun and behind him, playing like they were playing.
It's better to fight the soldiers who are fighting together. It's not fancy, but it's all desperate. Luo Shicheng's subordinates can have some advantages, mainly because they have the confidence to eat horse meat.
When I saw the first soldier stabbed to death, I felt a little guilty. Seeing that the second one was about to be struck in the shoulder, I rushed forward with a lunge and pulled the limp soldier away from the knife.
"Dustless help!"
After seeing Wuchen rush up, I won't go up to join in the fun, and there are still two female dependents to take care of, but I can't let them be implicated.
"Don't fight!"
An old and familiar voice reached my ears, and when I looked back, it was Gao Wei. Gao Wei can also be regarded as Tie Xuan's military advisor, I haven't seen him when I came to Jinan City this time, and I almost forgot about it. How could he come out of the prefect's yamen, it seems that Gu Liuxian didn't arrest him, he was hiding?
It shouldn't be, it stands to reason that he and Tie Xuan should be inseparable from Meng, except for not going to the city wall during the war. When Tie Hyun came to see me at the barracks, it was a little unreasonable that he didn't follow. Then he is not hiding in the prefect's yamen, but somewhere else.
Hearing this sound, the soldiers who were still fighting stopped. Gu Liuxian and Luo Shicheng are still carrying out uninteresting offense and defense around Tie Xuan.
At this time, looking at Tie Xuan again, it turned out that he had fainted. No wonder Gu Liuxian has always had a hand on him.
"General Luo, General Gu, what's the point of you two still fighting around!"
A pedant who is full of righteous and moral sermons all day long is really a bit infiltrating when he gets angry. The two of them stopped fighting and stood on the side and looked at each other coldly.
"Just because of this matter, Zhu Di doesn't have to attack Jinan City at all. ”
As he spoke, he walked over to Tie Hyun, who was on the ground. Look at Tie Hyun fainting there, there is no danger to his life, and there is no intention to wake him up.
"Lord Iron thinks a lot more than we do. Gao Wei stood up and continued, "No matter what your original intentions are, you are not willing to surrender now. I don't want to, and I don't want to. Whether integrity is important or anything, we are all selfish villains who have read the books of the sages. ”
"Since ancient times, there will be killing, punishment, death and injury. The so-called thief is punished, and the thief worships the princes. Zhu Di rebelled, and if he killed the current saint, he would be stealing the princes of the country. Gao Wei began to "promote" his righteousness again, "And we, as courtiers, even if we can't change this torrent, we must not change our ways, and we will be ruined to maintain the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Haven't you thought about it for the people of Jinan City? They have nothing to do with what you said, right?"
