Some villagers who had enlisted in the army were the first to react, shouting: "It's cavalry!" The Rong people have come to plunder the villages and towns! Run! ”

As soon as the words fell, brandishing a scimitar, the Rong cavalry with left hair had already rushed to him. Suddenly, the peaceful border village suddenly became a hell on earth, full of blood and the cry of survival------

The assault on the northern frontier of the Kingdom lasted a whole day, and it was only at night that the cavalry of the Endless Kingdom and the Kui Rong tribe ended the carnival of murder and robbery, and sat around the campfire to drink wine and sing indulgently. The smoke from the campfires covered the whole camp with a veil of teal, and the men laughed and joked as they drank mare's milk wine from sheepskin bags. The women poured dried cow dung into the fire, and the burning flames swept away the chill of the night, and the mutton on the shelves dripped oil into the fire, so that the smell of meat wafted around the tent.

The people in the king's tent could also smell the smell of roast mutton, and in the hand of the king of the end was a luminous wine cup carved from jade, which was filled with the wine sent by the rampant. The glow-in-the-dark wine glass is indeed a fine treasure, and it can reflect the appearance of the Endless King. Nearly twenty years of war had exhausted him, and the once strong man had become an old man with a gray beard, only those eyes were still as unruly as wolf eyes.

The first seat under the seat was the seat of the new King Kui Rong, Kui Nu looked proud, complacent, and kept raising his glass to persuade the king of Wuzhong and the leaders of the various tribes sitting opposite him to drink, and he was boasting about his achievements in and out of the words: "The defense of the country is vulnerable, my steppe cavalry is proud of the world, take the defense of the country, no, take the entire Zhou world, but it is like a bag." ”

In the end, the prince of Endless was displeased, and said coldly: "King Kui Rong is so heroic, but I don't know why he can't take a little spy to defend the country? I heard that Kui Duoyou has fled back to Chaoge and has been reused by Prince Wei, I don't know what King Kui Rong has planned? ”

"That bastard, it's not at all." Kui Nu's tongue was a little unstraight: "Back then, my aunt ------ known as the first beauty of the grassland, but unfortunately the first king had soft bones, so she had to send her to the ------ and relatives of Chaoge to give birth to such a mongrel." What is it? Bah! Still want to marry Likui? Daydream about it! ”

King Wuzhong glared at him, and Zhi Yu smiled contemptuously, he was known for his bravery, and he looked down on Kui Nu the most for this kind of shameless person who played insidious tricks and borrowed his sister to seek glory. Kui Nu also knew that he was speechless and kept silent for a while.

"However, if you are killing like this, the news will definitely be transmitted back to Chaoge, so that the guards have precautions, what should I do?" The Endless King said slowly, he regretted his decision to let Kui Nu be the striker.

"It's okay, it's okay." Kui Nu defended: "I have found out that the king of Zhou is dead, and the new Marquis of Wei has brought more than 3,000 guards to Haojing. The Asaga's garrison was half empty. In order to prevent the Huaiyi rebellion, most of the people of the country were transferred to Luoyi to defend a few years ago, and they were not transferred back. Together with our endless and Kui Rong's soldiers, we will definitely be able to take the Weidu in one fell swoop, and we can walk horses and herd sheep in the Chaogewei Palace. Wouldn't it be nice to have the beauties and treasures of the Central Plains that are all owned by my Rong warriors? ”

"Hahaha------" The leaders laughed heartily and spoke freely. During the banquet, the slave girls who added wine and meat went back and forth without shying away------

This drinking lasted until the bright moon hung high, and the people who had had enough of it would lie down in the grass and sleep soundly together, regardless of the old and the young. There was a sound of snoring in the cold wind, which also brought a strange scenery to the quiet grassland.

In the quiet moment when the moon was cold and the wind was clear, in a smaller tent in the northwest corner of the king's account, a female slave whispered something in Li Kui's ear. Li Kui's expression was solemn, she thought for a while, and said, "Ye Zi, I remember that your sister and brother are all guards, right?" ”

"Princess, yes. It has been three years since they killed my father and mother and taken my brother and sister into slavery. ”

"You are a woman who is very inconvenient, take advantage of the dead of night, let your little brother ride a fast horse, escape from the Rong camp, go to Chaoge's son and the house, and tell the news to my cousin in person. Remember, you must say it to your face, not by others. ”

Ye Zi was quite puzzled: "Princess, since the border of the Patriotic Kingdom has been attacked, Chaoge has his own precautions. Why do you want to do more? ”

"Where do you know about this joint?" Li Kui patiently explained: "Since my aunt and Wei, Wei Guo and the Kui Rong tribe have always been at peace with each other, and there has been no war for many years. Even if they knew that the northern border was attacked this time, most of them would think that it was just a border nuisance, where would they know that the intention of Wuheng and Kui Nu was to destroy the country and destroy the capital? You are defenders, you can't watch your homeland destroyed, right? ”

Ye Zi then woke up: "The little one understands." This message will definitely be delivered by the younger brother, and the princess can rest assured. ”

In the darkness of the night, a black horse stepped out of the camp gently, and the knight carefully stepped over the drunkards, and every wrong step could be wasted. Thanks to the horse's well-trained training, it didn't wake up a single cavalryman. The black horse walked between the tents like a ghost, leaping out of the fence under the protection of the darkness, raising its hooves and quickly disappearing into the night, unnoticed------

On the northbound official road outside Chaoge City, due to the invasion of Wuzhong and Kui Rong's joint forces, groups of border people poured into the north city gate like a tide. During the spring famine, the border people who had been plundered of food and goods had no way to eat, so they had to beg around the city. Outside the official residence of Wei Gong and Gongzihe, two large porridge sheds were set up, and porridge was divided twice a day in the morning and evening to ensure that the fleeing border people would not starve to death on a large scale.

In the Wei Palace, Shi Jiao reported the situation to Mrs. Qi with a nervous expression: "The Rong people are menacing this time, and in less than three or four days, the northern border has been completely in the hands of the enemy. Now I'm hurrying up and looking at me toward the song. Madam, you see, do you want to abandon the song of the court, take the prince and the clan to the south and flee to the Song Kingdom for a while. Although Wei Hou Jiyu entrusted the state affairs to him when he left, he did not dare to take responsibility for such a big matter as abandoning the national capital. After all, Mrs. Qi is the wife of the first monarch, and with her in front of her head, she also has an explanation for the people, right?

Although Mrs. Qi is shrewd, after all, her professional expertise lies in the struggle in the palace, where can she take ideas on military affairs? Hearing Rong Di Tieqi's attack, he suddenly lost his bearings, and was about to say "yes", only to hear: "No!" ”

Mrs. Qi raised her eyes and saw her son Wei Hexian, followed by Kui Duoyou and Gongsun Yu on the left and right, and suddenly felt that she had the backbone, and pulled her son and said in a continuous voice: "He'er, you came just in time!" Kui Rong rebelled against the alliance and invaded with the Endless National Alliance, Dr. Shi said let us take the clan and hundreds of officials to abandon Chaoge and flee south, what do you think? ”

Wei He bowed his hand and said, "Queen Mother, this matter must not be done!" Since Uncle Kang was enthroned, the country has been established here for nearly 200 years, and the temples and shrines are all here. If you abandon it, you and my mother and son will have no shame to face the countrymen, and we will die ashamed of our ancestors and ancestors. What's more, according to the spies' report, Rong Qi is only a day's foot away from Chaoge, and it is too late to escape! ”

He glanced behind him, Gongsun Yu understood, stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Yujun, abandoning the city at this time is already the next step. Rong cavalry is known for its fast horses and light horseloading, and if the lady and the son flee with the clan relatives and hundreds of officials, they will be caught up by thieves in less than a day. At that time, when you are in the wilderness and have nothing to rely on, you will be like meat on the case, to be slaughtered. ”

I have to say that what he said was the truth, Shi Jiao knew that he had made a mistake, so he closed his mouth and frowned and stopped talking. Mrs. Qi was even more panicked, clutching her son's sleeve tightly and weeping: "Son, what can I do then? Can you only sit and wait for death? ”

"Don't panic after the queen mother, Brother Duoyou has a strategy to break the enemy." Wei He comforted.

For a while, everyone turned their eyes to Kui Duoyou, and their eyes were full of hope and confusion. Kui Duoyou gave a deep salute, straightened up and said: "The last general is not talented, after all, he knows a thing or two about Rong Qi." What they are good at is to run thousands of miles, fast in and out, and the worst thing is to capture the city, especially in the face of the deep pool of the fortified city, the cavalry is like a toothless tiger, the knife can not be cut, and the teeth cannot be broken. For today's plan, the minister has two internal and external strategies to deal with it. ”

"Which two strategies?" Shi Jiao couldn't help but ask.

"First, inside, we must take advantage of the day before the cavalry arrives, cut down all the trees outside the city wall, demolish all the houses and huts, and move all the materials and people into the city. In this way, the Rong cavalry had nothing to rely on when attacking the city, and their horses could neither climb the city walls nor cross the moat, but at most they could only besiege the city. In addition, Gongzi and Doctor Shi had to do their best to raise food and grass materials, and the feather arrows, rolling stones, wood and fire oil used to defend the city should be enough for at least one and a half months. ”

Gongzihe glanced at Shijiao, the latter understood, and said: "The city has a reserve of materials needed for a month, and the ministers will step up the mobilization and do their best." ”

Wei He nodded and asked, "Brother Duoyou, what should you do if the thieves besiege the city for a month and a half and still refuse to withdraw their troops?" ”

Kui Duoyou replied unhurriedly: "Gongzi should quickly send people out of the city to ask Song Cao and other countries for help." In addition, Mrs. Jun should issue an edict to quickly dispatch the main force of the guards of Luoyi to return for reinforcements. If the Eighth Division of Cheng Zhou can divide troops to rescue, it will be the best. A month and a half later, there should be reinforcements to help the song. ”

The arrangements were thorough, and everyone had a bottom in their hearts and nodded in praise. At this moment, Mrs. Yi sobered up, and she understood one thing: if her son can lead everyone to defend the court song this time, then he will make immortal contributions to defend the country, which is a powerful political capital that no one can shake. If this is the case, then Wei Yuke will no longer be able to help their mother and son.

After making up her mind, she asked Kui Duoyou: "Then in your opinion, how should you allocate manpower?" ”

Before the words fell, Gongsun Yu grabbed his head and said: "Mrs. Jun, the minister is willing to lead all the servants and guests to protect the son and his wife." The ministers will fight in chariots, and they will also defend the city, and they will definitely protect me and defend the safety of the temple and the society. General Kui had been garrisoned by the Eighth Division of Chengzhou, so it would be safer to send him out for help. ”
