Bravery
"Thank you His Royal Highness for coming all the way to support our Eastern Continent, I am grateful, I miss the soldiers who represent the Flying Thunder Army, thank you a lot, if there is an afterlife, I must not get drunk with a hero like you, and now, I will work for you." After Gu Nian finished speaking, he stopped talking, and his expression was serene, waiting for the final relief.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down, I, Mu Qingfeng, swear here, if I don't drive the Japanese people out of the Eastern Continent, I will never withdraw my troops!" Mu Qingfeng swore that for a warrior's final request, there was no reason not to agree to him.
"Commander Mu, give Gu Warriors a ride." Mu Qingfeng said to Mu Chongshan beside him.
Mu Chongshan got the order, slowly walked to Gu Nian's side, and put his right hand on his chest, even if he knew that Gu Nian was bent on death, Mu Chongshan's hand was still a little trembling, after all, it was the first time he had done such a thing as sending his own people away.
Zhu Ceguo wanted to say something, but he was held back by Zhao Shoucheng, although he was only a civil official, but he knew better what it meant to be a broken jade than a complete tile. Zhu Ceguo looked at Gu Nian's satisfied expression, even if he was unwilling in his heart, he stopped his movements.
"Brother, go all the way!" After Mu Chongshan finished speaking, the internal force in his palm spewed out, which directly shattered Gu Nian's heart, Gu Nian's whole person was shocked, and then he didn't move anymore.
The people present were a little enthusiastic, according to Takeda Hararo's original plan, in addition to letting Gu Nian deliver the letter, he also planned to shake the military spirit of Tongbo City through his mutilated body, but now it seems that it is indeed counterproductive.
Zhu Ceguo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said to Mu Qingfeng: "Your Royal Highness, we have to come up with a plan for the affairs of my father. ”
Mu Qingfeng nodded, and went directly to the hall with Zhao Taishou, of course, Gu Nian's body still had to be buried properly.
"Your Royal Highness, what should we do now? It's not that I'm favoritism, my father, as the master of the East Continent, really can't have a problem, otherwise people will be panicked, and the East Road will definitely not be able to be defended. Zhu Ceguo took out the letter and spread it on the table, and said worriedly.
"Your Royal Highness, you have to think twice, why would they let the warriors enter the city to report the news, in order to make our army unstable, and then send troops in a hurry, so that they can wait for work. Our troops have left the shelter of the walls of Tumbo, and may not be successful in the field. "Unexpectedly, it was Zhao Shoucheng, the confidant of King Lu Zhu Ji, who objected.
"Zhao Taishou!" Zhu Ceguo stood up directly, "What do you mean by this, are you going to watch my father be captured alive by the Japanese people?" I didn't expect you to be a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death! In vain, my father still values you so much! If you don't send troops to save you, then I'll go myself! Your Royal Highness, what do you mean? Aren't you going to send troops and watch my father die?! “
Mu Qingfeng also kept silent, although it was a little cruel, but Zhao Shoucheng's suggestion that it was the best way to move the troops, otherwise he would send troops in a hurry, not to mention whether he could save Zhu Ji, the king of the lower land, I am afraid that Tongbo City would not be able to stand it.
Seeing that Mu Qingfeng was silent, Zhu Ceguo smiled bitterly three times and said loudly: "It turns out that you are all a group of cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't you dare to go, right?" Okay, if you don't go, I'll go by myself! I'd rather die on the battlefield with my father than be a shrunken turtle with you!" ”
After speaking, Zhu Ceguo got up directly and planned to leave, but he didn't expect Zhao Shoucheng, who had always been obedient, to be angry and shouted: "You stop me!" ”
"Why, Zhao Taishou, you still plan to rebel and yell at me, have you considered the consequences!" Zhu Ceguo has no taboos now, and what he said is extremely ugly.
Between Zhao Shoucheng took off his shirt without moving, the scars on his body were shocking, there were new injuries in this battle, and there were also old diseases that charged into battle with King Lu Zhu Yi, exaggerating to say that his chest would not be able to find a good piece of skin.
"What's the matter, Zhao Taishou is planning to settle old accounts with me? Could it be that these scars are your book of merit, and you can ignore my father's life and death? Zhu Ceguo continued, although he was still so stubborn, he also knew in his heart that it was indeed too much to say that Zhao Shoucheng was greedy for life and afraid of death, but he still couldn't be calm when he saw his father being surrounded.
"Shizi, I'm not counting my own merits, I just want to tell you that I'm not a greedy person who is afraid of death, as for why I don't let you go, this is what the prince ordered me." Zhao Shoucheng's words were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, making Zhu Ceguo stunned on the spot.
"Someone, go and fetch the letters from my study." Zhao Shoucheng said to the guards at the door.
"Letters, what letters? Didn't Lord Zhao tell me that my father left you a letter instructing me before he set out on the expedition? Although Zhu Ceguo didn't believe it, he still sat down, he wanted to see what Zhao Shoucheng was doing.
After a while, the guards brought a letter to Zhu Ceguo, Zhu Ceguo was not polite, opened the envelope directly, and knew that it was a letter from his father at a glance, but as he read it, his face became particularly ugly.
"His Royal Highness, it's not that the lower officials are greedy for life and afraid of death, if it weren't for the prince's order, I would be the first to take the men and horses of Tongbo City to the rescue." Zhao Shoucheng had already known the content in his heart, so he continued: | The prince knows that his flying thunder army is a hundred battles, but the number of Japanese troops is too large, sooner or later one day will be ambushed by the enemy, the reason why he left this letter is to prevent such a thing from happening today, I think the old prince said very clearly in his heart, once such a thing happens, no one is allowed to go to the rescue, and the whole army of the province will be wiped out, and besides" Zhao Shoucheng hesitated, "The old prince also told him that if anything happens to him, let you directly inherit his position and continue to fight with the Japanese people." ”
Zhao Shoucheng's words are exactly the same as the content in the letter of Lu Wang Zhu Ji, but even if he sees and hears it with his own eyes, he wants to let himself abandon his father, and how sad Zhu Ceguo's heart is can be imagined.
"I know, just do what Taishou says, we'll ...... We're not moving. Zhu Ceguo almost gritted his teeth and finished this sentence.
"Wait a minute, Shizi, Lord Taishou, I have other ideas." Mu Qingfeng, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
"Your Royal Highness, do you have any other good ideas, as long as you can stay with my father for a long time. I...... I will grant you any request. "In the past two days, I have seen Mu Qingfeng's ability, and only he can come up with a way to come up with such a desperate situation, Zhu Ceguo and Mu Qingfeng see it as his last straw.
"Lord Taishou, although King Lu has a letter in front of us, we can't easily send troops, but the prince is right about one thing, now after all, King Lu is the master of this land, if he is killed or captured by the Japanese people, the blow to the entire Eastern Continent is immeasurable, and in the worst case, it is not impossible for our entire Eastern Continent front to be completely defeated, so King Lu must be saved anyway, but the soldiers and horses of our Tongbo City cannot move." Mu Qingfeng said what he thought.
If there wasn't a way, how could Zhao Shoucheng, who used to be a staff member of the guard, watch his old master fall into death, but he didn't know much about Mu Qingfeng's words. "Your Royal Highness, don't sell the guanzi, you can say what you can do, as long as you can save the prince and keep Tongbo City, I will not be ambiguous if you want my head."
"Yes, Your Royal Highness, even if the sword mountain sparks, I won't refuse." Zhu Ceguo on the side was also a little stunned.
"We have to defend the city of Tongbo, because the Japanese people will take this place as their base no matter what, if we rashly transfer troops, we will definitely correct their hands, and I estimate that they will have reinforcements in two days, from today's trend of their siege, it can be seen that they will do whatever it takes.
"What then? There are not many guards in our city of Tumbo, and after so many days of fierce fighting, the soldiers are wounded and sick, and I am afraid it will be difficult to support them. Hearing Mu Qingfeng's speculation, Zhao Shoucheng couldn't sit still.
"Lord Zhao, don't worry, although the enemy has reinforcements, we are not alone, at most three days, my Xuanjia army in Beiyan can reach Tongbo City, it's not me bragging, with these three thousand Xuanjia army, even if it is 30,000 Japanese people, I don't want to shake Tongbo City." Mu Qingfeng had just gotten the news that Zhan Yunyi's army would arrive soon.
"His Royal Highness, it's not me who poured cold water on you, the combat effectiveness of the Xuanjiamen people is obvious to all, but the Japanese people are not fools, it is impossible to let them enter the city safely, hoplites like the Xuanjia Army, I'm afraid they can't please in the wild, you know the ferocity of the Japanese people, if you are entangled by them, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the three thousand Xuanjia Army to join us." Zhu Ceguo is not a straw bag after all, and after a little thought, he knows what the problem is.
"Yes, I know what the prince and Taishou said, saving the prince and receiving reinforcements are actually the same thing, if we have the ability to receive the Xuanjia army into the city, we will have the ability to rescue King Lu, so I have a two-step plan, the first step is to hit the enemy once before we evacuate, I know this matter in my heart, the two of you don't have to worry, as for the second step, there is something I want to ask Zhao Taishou."
"Your Highness, please ask, the lower officials must know everything," Zhao Shoucheng found that Mu Qingfeng was not untargeted, so his eyes became more and more eager.
"Lord Zhao, I want to ask you, where did your Yiyong come from, I have also brought Yiyong, but whether it is psychological quality or fighting skills, it is simply different from yours, do you have any special training methods?" Mu Qingfeng had a strong interest in these people for the first time he came, especially the way they killed the enemy under the leadership of Zhao Shoucheng.
"Those people." Mentioning his proud things, Zhao Shoucheng laughed: "They were originally fishermen in Tongbo City, living at sea all the year round, because they often fight with the wind and waves, but they have developed a good strength and amazing courage, because the Japanese people often rob them, so the fishermen will more or less a few times, I didn't expect His Royal Highness to see it at a glance, huh?" Isn't it His Royal Highness's intention to ......"
"That's right, whether you can rescue King Lu or not depends on your bravery!" Mu Qingfeng said categorically.
