Chapter 80

Entering Tongxia Pass from the city gate, the scene in front of him was not the same as Su Ying thought.

It had long been expected that Tongxia City would be in ruins and dilapidated. The people have yellow faces and thin muscles, and they can't eat enough. Morale is low, the morale of the army is weak, and it is difficult to manage.

But to Su Ying's surprise, although Tongxia City was in ruins, there were almost no people sitting idle and waiting for death.

Although the hour was still early, there were already many soldiers in the city who were already raising their cooking smoke or training in twos and threes. The guards at the head of the city and all over the city were well organized, and there was not a hint of depression about the imminent defeat. On the contrary, there was a persistent and serious look on everyone's faces.

Su Ying stood under the city, looking at the scene of rushing back and forth on the streets near and far, no one had nothing to do, and no one was doing this meaningless thing. The corners of his mouth curled and he smiled faintly—

What a Tongxia City! What a Tongxia defender!

A soldier defending the city led him half-pressured and half-led him to the inner city. After walking for about a cup of tea, I arrived at a mansion that looked a little taller than the surrounding houses, and in front of the mansion hung a plaque in large gold letters—Overseer's House.

The Overseer's Mansion was not luxurious, and the house was too old to show any signs of renovation, or even a modest excess. Walking through the unadorned front yard and through a porch, the defender took Su Ying directly to the main hall.

The door of the main hall was open, and there were several men in military uniforms who looked like they were of some rank, talking to a man sitting in a chair in the main hall.

Su Ying didn't take off the hat, the face towel hanging down from the hat covered his face, he looked at him vaguely through the hat, and the people in the main hall also looked at him.

"Who?" The person in the main seat maintained the tone of the previous conversation, and his voice was neither angry nor humble.

"Back to General You, this person claimed to have fled nearby, and he was alone and asked us to take him in. We checked and did not carry weapons. "The soldiers defending the city were not polite and spoke cleanly.

In just a few sentences, he also explained his origin and purpose - what kind of people bring out what kind of soldiers, it seems that this young man is not a mediocre person.

"That's right." The man was still faint, and he couldn't see any change in his expression, only nodded to the soldier guarding the city.

The soldier saluted and turned to leave.

The young man then got up, looked at the people around him, and said, "I'm done, and I'm done with it, and I'm going to deploy as I tell you." Let's go down. Several men in military uniforms responded, turned to leave, and looked at Su Ying standing in the center of the main hall vigilantly by the way.

Everyone left, and only Su Ying and him were left in the main hall.

"Why did the general take them all?" Su Ying stood motionless in place, "Aren't you afraid that I'm a fine work and come to assassinate?" ”

The young man chuckled softly, "Whether it's a fine work or not, I'll give you a chance to speak." If it's really detailed, I debunked you in front of so many people, even if I say something like I'll let you go if I tell you honestly, you won't believe it. Once that's the case, we won't get anything out of your mouth. ”

Su Ying nodded.

"Now you can take off your hat?" He sat back down behind a desk full of papers.

His gestures exude a down-to-earth, casual and natural demeanor.

Su Ying smiled slightly-Tongxia has not attacked for a long time, and there is a reason for it.

He raised his hand and took off the hat, took it out of his bosom, and threw it on the man's table, "I am a member of the new emperor's command, and I will help the general before the arrival of the army. ”

The young man looked at Su Ying, raised his eyebrows, the surprise in his eyes flashed, and then he was silent. He looked at the Su film moment, picked up the music fold on the table and flipped through it.

Su Ying has seen countless people, and he doesn't dare to say that he knows people correctly, but he also has an eye or two to distinguish between truth and falsehood. This kind of pampering and humiliation in front of him is not pretending to be - Su Ying laughed with satisfaction, this is a talent.

Su Ying was a little surprised-when he took off the hat, the other party's appearance was very clear.

This is actually a rare beautiful man - sword eyebrows into the sideburns, phoenix eyes slanted, a fine mole at the corner of the eye makes others look gentle and charming, the bridge of the nose is high, the corners of the lips are smiling, long hair is in a bun, with a bit of handsome bookishness, slender and thin, delicate and elegant, handsome and extraordinary.

Putting down the recital, he looked at Su Ying and slowly got up, "Frankly, I don't trust Your Excellency. But please speak bluntly, if you really want to help me, can the siege of Tongxia be solved? And how to solve it? He spoke with a very subtle feeling, as if the atmosphere around him had become gentle and powerful.

Su Ying looked at him and said, "I already have a plan in my heart about the siege of Tongxia, and the general can rest assured." ”

After a slight pause, Su Ying arched his hand and said, "Haven't you consulted the general's name?" ”

The young man looked at Su Ying for a long time, as if he was hesitating whether to believe it, and finally smiled at him and said, "The big name doesn't dare, the next surname is Han, and the name is Qingruo." Dare to ask your Excellency if-"

Su Ying blinked, lowered his hand and said, "My surname is Nangong." ”

"Are you from the demon world?" Narrowing his eyes keenly, Han Qingruo's voice was obviously guarded, but it still did not miss the edge.

"Exactly." Su Ying lowered his head and smiled, "Please believe me, the siege of Tongxia will be resolved in a few days." ”

"Nangong Gongzi said, how can I not believe it?" His smile was a little stronger, and his expression was somewhat close to that of an official in the capital.

Indeed, behind Murong Jingyi's ascension to the throne, whose power is hidden, everyone in the world knows!

To say that Han Qingruo is heartfelt about him because of this, it is absolutely impossible. It's just that at the moment, Su Ying can't pose any threat to him.

"Dare to ask the general, how many days can Tongxia's internal grain and grass be supported?"

Han Qingruo frowned slightly, slightly gloomy, and said in a low voice: "...... Up to one day. ”

Su Ying nodded, "It would take three days for reinforcements to arrive, but the rebel encirclement is not easy to break through, so it is difficult to approach Tongxia City in a short time." If you wait for them to come to the rescue, I'm afraid it's not the best policy. ”

"What does Nangong Gongzi think?" Han Qingruo looked at him, and his tone seemed very cautious and careful.

"Instead of holding on and waiting to die, it is better to do the opposite and attack it unprepared."

Su Ying thought quickly, "How many defenders are there?" ”

"Except for the seriously wounded, a hundred and fifty-two who are able to fight." Han Qingruo reported a statistic very quickly.

"What about the enemy?" Su Ying put her hand to her lips and fell into deep thought.

"After many investigations, the main force of the enemy army is the rebels of the demon world, with strong combat effectiveness, about 2,000 people; There are also some spiritual people, and there are also about 2,000 troops. ”

Su Ying thought about it, the Shadow Licheng annihilated 5,900 enemies in the first battle, and the Licheng faction was less than 8,000 people, these should be their last hidden strength. With less than 200 men against 4,000 men, he would not dare to do so no matter how bold he was.

If you can't attack, you can only outwit it.

"General," Su Ying turned his head to look at him, "You trust me?" ”

Han Qingruo looked at him, but in the end, he smiled faintly, turned to look out the window, and said after a while: "Whether you are meticulous or not, there is no good countermeasure after a day, and it is only a matter of time before Tongxia is lost." If you work carefully, Tongxia will only lose a few days earlier, and I will kill you first and then die in the line of duty. I'm still sure of that. ”

Su Ying smiled faintly and bitterly, with such a strong temperament, it was okay to say that he was rational, it was okay to say that he was bold, it was okay to say that he was crazy, and it was okay to say that he was calm.

"If you don't work carefully, the reinforcements won't be able to catch up, and it will be in vain with you or not." Han Qingruo continued, "But if your countermeasures are successful, we will have a glimmer of life, you say, do I believe you?" ”

Su Ying looked at his indifferent eyes, the smile on the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but feel a little moved, and said: "Don't worry, general, I won't let the general down, and second, I won't let Tongxia defeat, it's just ......"

Su Ying dragged out his voice, "After two days, the defenders need to make a look of running out of water and food, abandoning the city and fleeing, so that the enemy army can enter Tongxia City. ”

Han Qingruo frowned slightly, and her eyes looked a little defensive.

Su Ying continued: "If the general believes me, let me give it a go. ”

Han Qingruo's handsome eyebrows became tighter and tighter, and she spread silently.

Su Ying waited......

Su Ying has many ways to persuade the other party, but he feels that for this person, he is not willing to make more persuasion and detour or even deception and temptation, and this method is the most suitable.

Han Qingruo raised his head slowly, as if he had already stretched his brows, "...... Qingruo is a son of faith. ”

Su Ying smiled silently, "In that case, the general should not be a son again." Just call me Shadow. ”

Han Qingruo's eyebrows furrowed, and her voice changed slightly, "Shadow? Nangong Shadow? ”

Su Ying smiled and bowed slightly, "This battle is already out of the demon realm, and it's most appropriate for me to clean up the mess, isn't it?" ”

Han Qingruo looked at him, suddenly lowered his eyes, and said, "It's Qingruo who is suspicious." If what the prince said is true, please save me and keep my people living in peace. As he spoke, he bowed down.

"Brother Qingruo doesn't have to be like this." Su Ying bent down to help him up, "It's normal that Brother Qingruo doesn't believe me. Tongxia's battle is very important, and I know it in my heart. These words may as well be said after the war. ”

Su Ying knew that Qing Ruo actually didn't fully believe in his identity now, after all, no nobleman would give up his clothes and food and come to this kind of front line to risk his life.

But what he said was also good, if he didn't work carefully, then no matter who he was, as long as he had a countermeasure, he would have to save thousands of people from fire and water.

This worship shows that he is more anxious than himself. But as a general, if he was anxious and afraid, then this Tongxia City would have been doomed a long time ago.

If Qing believes him, he can't bear the other party.
