Chapter 56: For the Present
After Ye Feng finished speaking, the people in the room were all silent, although they didn't want to believe what he said, but they couldn't find a flaw to refute.
After a long time, Su Wang Zhu said in a deep voice: "From this point of view, this Song Hu is not only scheming, but also scheming, every step is very accurate, and now his conspiracy has succeeded, and now this battle is inevitable?"
Ye Feng and the other three were silent, now that the soldiers are in the city, the big war is about to break out, and there is indeed no good way for a while.
Su Wang Zhu looked up at the three people in front of him with a difficult face, and suddenly laughed: "You don't have to panic, this king has another way to eliminate this military disaster." ”
Ye Feng and the others were all stunned, they didn't know what else His Royal Highness King Su could do now?
Su Wang Zhu stood up and said with a long sigh: "What Song Hu did, but if he wants to avenge his father, he has to deal with this king." As long as this king goes out of the city to meet and let it be disposed of, it should save the people in this Lanzhou city from suffering this unjustified disaster. ”
Hearing this, Ye Feng's faces all changed greatly, and they dissuaded him repeatedly: "This matter must not be done, Your Highness, please cherish yourself!"
Su Wang Zhu flicked his sleeves and said: "Other than that, there is no other good law. The prosperity of this Lanzhou city is due to the painstaking efforts of the king and the people for many years. If the battle breaks through and the thieves break through the city, the people in the city will inevitably be destroyed and destroyed. How can this king bear in his heart?"
Ma Jing took a step forward and bowed down and said, "Your Highness is the blood of Taizu, the royal nobles, how can you be so reckless?
His Royal Highness King Su was speechless for a while, and sighed: "Now the battle cannot be won, and sooner or later the city will be broken, but it will only increase the casualties, so what can I do?"
Lord Zhou also stepped forward at this time and said: "Don't worry, the city defense of Lanzhou is strong, the city is high and the walls are thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and now there are still 3,000 guards in the city. ”
Su Wang Zhu said suddenly: "How many days can you defend? The thieves are strong, even if the city is strong, it will be broken sooner or later, what is the point of holding on?"
Lord Zhou replied: "Most of the guards that the prince brought from Suzhou are scattered in various places in the suburbs of Lanzhou, and there are seven or eight thousand people. ”
In addition, Master Ma wrote a letter by hand, sending someone to secretly infiltrate the Black Armor Guard's camp, and ordered the Black Armor Guard to move behind the thief army with reinforcements. There are 10,000 people in the Black Armor Guard, and they are experienced in a hundred battles and well-equipped, so they should be able to contain most of the thieves' troops. ”
"With such a two-sided attack, Hugh said to attack the city, but I am afraid that the thieves will be in chaos at that time. In this way, the siege of Lanzhou City can be lifted. ”
Ye Feng was shocked when he heard this, the Lord Zhou in front of him, who usually looked chubby and even a little stupid, could not imagine that he was not only an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, but also quite proficient in the art of war.
Su Wang Zhu was overjoyed when he heard this, and even said "good plan, good plan", but he immediately frowned again, and said: "Now that Lanzhou City has been surrounded by four gates, and the black armor guard station is surrounded like an iron bucket, who can have such the ability to break out of the siege and send a letter to transfer troops?"
Lord Zhou also lowered his head with a difficult face, such a task is indeed impossible for ordinary people to complete.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the house and said, "Of course, there are still us!"
The people in the house looked up in amazement, only to see two figures flying down from the outside and landing in front of the hall, causing the guards of the horse palace in the courtyard to panic and shout and surround them.
Ma Jing took a few steps forward and stretched out his hand to stop the commotion of the guards, because he had already seen clearly that these two people were Tang Da and Zhang Idiot who rushed over because they got Tang Yu's news.
The two walked up to the hall and saluted King Zhu first, and Tang Da said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Lord Zhou's plan just now has been heard below." In the Lower Don
Although Da is an idler in the rivers and lakes, he is a little skilled in martial arts, and it is not difficult to quietly break out of the trapped military camp on the outskirts of the city. ”
He turned around and pointed to Zhang Fatzi beside him and said: "This Brother Zhang is the son of Zhang Fu, the current British Gong, and his light skills are particularly outstanding, and he will definitely be able to sneak into the Black Armor Guard's station to deliver the message unnoticed." ”
Su Wang Zhu had long heard that the British prince Zhang had a hundred books hidden in his belly, and his light skills were even more shocking, but he didn't expect it to be such a little fat man who didn't look amazing.
At that moment, he groaned slightly, and without saying much, he immediately took out a white jade plaque from his body, and it was faintly visible that a dragon pattern was carved on it. Ye Feng looked familiar, this brand was very similar to the jade plate that Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, gave him in the capital.
Su Wang Zhu handed over the jade card to Tang Da, and said in a deep voice: "This is the token of this king, see the jade card as if you see this king, Tang Daxia can take this jade card to the east of the city ten miles of the grange to find Vice General Zheng, he has followed the king for many years, loyal." You can pass on the king's edict and ask him to quickly gather the soldiers of nearby Tuntian and rush to Lanzhou City as soon as possible to rescue. ”
He stuffed the jade plate in Tang Da's hand, held Tang Da's hands tightly, and said with expectation: "Tang Daxia, everything is please!"
Tang Da said "rest assured" and nodded very firmly.
On the other side, Ma Jing also hurriedly wrote a letter and handed it to Zhang Fatzi, and handed it to Zhang Fatzi with a thousand instructions, looking uneasy. Facing his nagging, Zhang Fatzi nodded helplessly.
Ye Feng pondered for a while at this time, and said: "Although Lord Zhou's strategy is very good, it will take a certain amount of time for reinforcements to arrive, and before that, we need to delay the moment when Song Xiaohou's army attacks the city as much as possible. ”
Su Wang Zhu Shen thought so and asked, "Does Ye Gongzi have any good plans?"
Ye Feng said: "Now there is a way, you can try it." ”
Ma Jing was overjoyed when he heard this, and asked, "What way?"
Ye Feng said Kankan: "I have known Song Xiaohou since I was a child, and I have also had a personal relationship, for the sake of today's plan, I am willing to go to the military camp to ask for a meeting, know the benefits to him, and persuade him to withdraw from the army." Even if it doesn't work, you can try to delay the time of his siege for about half a day to buy time for the arrival of reinforcements. ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the hall changed greatly, in such a tense situation, Ye Feng wanted to go to the local military camp alone to see Song Hu, and put himself in danger, wouldn't it be equivalent to a sheep falling into the tiger's mouth?
Zhang Fatzi was even more anxious and said loudly: "What kind of personal relationship, we have had a feud with him since childhood, and now when we go to see him under this situation, he still doesn't take the opportunity to retaliate?"
Others also disagreed.
Ye Feng said categorically: "If you want to delay the thieves from attacking the city, there is only one way, instead of sitting in the city and waiting, it is better to take a risk, what if it can be done?"
Tang Da saw that Ye Feng's attitude was resolute, so he said: "If you want to go, you also have to take Tang Yu with you, he will do his best to protect your safety." ”
Ye Feng smiled and said, "No need, Tang Yu should stay and protect Fu Shuangling in the Qinglong Dart Bureau, I am accompanied by Lord Zhou here, and it shouldn't be a problem to be safe." ”
Lord Zhou couldn't change Ye Feng's decision when he saw it, so he sighed and said, "Okay, this mansion will accompany Ye Gongzi on this trip, even if it is Longtan Tiger's Den, we have to break a way out!"
Tang Da looked at Lord Zhou, he had already learned the true identity of this Lord Zhou from Tang Yu, and also knew that he was actually a hidden martial arts master, since Tang Yu was ashamed of himself, it should not be a problem to protect Ye Feng.
But he still had a vague worry in his heart, he couldn't say why, he just felt a little worried, no matter how high the master, what he could do in the face of thousands of troops was very limited. However, in the current scene, it cannot be said directly.
He could only nod to Lord Zhou, and his words seemed to be full of trust: "Then trouble Lord Zhou, please be sure to protect Ye Gongzi!"
Lord Zhou nodded firmly, showing full confidence, but was his heart as confident as he had shown?
After all, they went deep into the tiger's den, and life and death were unpredictable.
On the side, Su Wang Zhu and Ma Jing, the overseer, had already begun to discuss how to urgently dispatch the city defense and how to block the news to avoid chaos in the city.
So Tang Da and Ye Feng immediately said goodbye and prepared to go.
Su Wang Zhu personally got up and sent them to the door of Mafu, and there was no other word, only one sentence: "Please!"
Just these three words make people feel an extremely heavy responsibility on their shoulders, and the people of the entire Lanzhou City, their lives and deaths are all tied to the success or failure of the four of them.
At this time, the sky was already bright, walking on the streets of Lanzhou City, those ordinary people began to come and go again, busy and busy, busy for the day's livelihood.
They were immersed in their own little days, unaware that outside the city, there was an army of tigers and wolves ready to attack at the moment, and they could be destroyed at any time.
Looking at these carefree and busy people, Ye Feng couldn't help but think, I hope they can go on so carefree forever.
At this time, he thought of Su Wang Zhu, just now he proposed to exchange himself for the safety of the people in the city, which may seem a little contrived, but at this moment, Ye Feng felt that he deeply understood his feelings.
How happy and rewarding it should be to see so many people living and working in peace and contentment under their rule every day!
Sometimes people need this sense of accomplishment, no matter how high or low the status, no matter what brings him a sense of accomplishment, he will always need it, because only in this way will life seem meaningful.
So he understood that His Royal Highness King Su, for this achievement, for this meaning, sometimes sacrifice his life is also hesitant.
Facing the rising sun, when he strode out of the gate of Lanzhou City, Ye Feng suddenly remembered a poem he had read:
There is no survivor of the attack, this is not unknown.
It is said that one person should be abandoned, and more than ten million people will live.
Parents in the Central Plains are selfish.
Youyou Heyang Bridge, life and death from now on.
Reciting this poem in his heart, in an instant, Ye Feng's heart was also full of the tragic pride of a strong man who went out and never returned!
As they strode out of the city gate, at the corner of the city wall, Donghai Yu was silently watching their backs with his hands behind his back.
For a long time, he looked up at the vaguely visible military camps in the distance, shook his head and sighed softly: "This kid is really not afraid of death!"
Behind him stood the old lama with long eyebrows, and said with some joy at the moment: "Since Tang Da and that fat prefect have gone out of the city with him, it seems that among the rest of the people, except for Nanshan Qi, they are not your old opponents, if we want to snatch Xiao Sanji now, we must be able to catch it!"
Donghai Yu turned his head and glanced at the old lama contemptuously, and snorted from his nose: "Even if Nanshan doesn't make a move, what if you grab people? Now that the city is besieged by heavy troops, can you get out? Seeing that the city is about to be slaughtered by random troops, you better think about how to protect yourself first!"
The old lama's face changed suddenly, a little frustrated and a little unwilling, but he still asked Donghai Yu very respectfully: "Please also teach us a way to protect ourselves." ”
Donghai Yu suddenly laughed: "The old man was entrusted by the son to assist you in robbing people, but he never promised to be responsible for saving the lives of your useless wastes." Now that the catastrophe is coming, the old man is still too busy to take care of himself, so you should ask for more blessings! By the way, you should recite more sutras and beg your living Buddha, maybe he can save you. ”
In the laughter, his figure suddenly rose into the air like a big bat, and disappeared between the houses in a blink of an eye, leaving only the old lama with long eyebrows, standing in place in a daze with a bitter face.
