Zhang Wen smiled and said: "Actually, in this matter of city defense, Lord Zhang only needs to be in the center of the dispatch. The two generals of the forward army, Hou Ji and Hou Yong, also stayed in Lanzhou, and there were still 20,000 soldiers and horses waiting to be transferred at any time. It is expected to come to Lanzhou without worry. ”

Da Kui was silent for a long time, and then said: "You and I are originally fellow villagers, and I am much younger in terms of age. In the future, there is no need to be so polite in private. ”

Zhang Wen clasped his fists and saluted: "Although you and I are old friends, but there is a difference between respect and inferiority, this etiquette cannot be messed up." After a pause, Zhang Wen got up to say goodbye, Da Kui knew that it was inconvenient to keep him because he was entangled in military affairs, so he immediately ordered Yang Xiaohu to send off the guests.

After Yang Xiaohu sent Zhang Wen away, he came back and said to Da Kui: "Father-in-law, today is the Dragon King Temple Fair in the north of the city, I'll go and see if there are any red dates for sale, and come back to stew chicken soup for you." ”

Da Kui couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "You want to go out for a walk, right? Don't make trouble. ”

Yang Xiaohu agreed and went out early.

Today was a fine day, the sun was shining and there was no wind, and Da Kui was supported by two guards to the garden. In order for Da Kui to recover from his injuries, Zhang Wen specially arranged this mansion in the north of the city and sent fifty strong soldiers to be Da Kui's guards.

After walking along the stone path in the garden, Da Kui felt a little tired, so he was helped by two guards to the cloister to rest. The guards around him were respectful, and Da Kui not only said: "You can also sit, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be restrained." ”

Hearing this, the two guards arched their hands in unison and said, "My subordinates don't dare." ”

Da Kui couldn't see this kind of decent, and said coldly at the moment: "If you sit down, you can sit, my body is weak and I can't talk much." When the two guards heard this, they hurriedly found a place to sit.

Da Kui looked at the snow scene in the garden, and couldn't help but think of his home in Wu County, Suzhou. The world is impermanent, and I don't know what happened to my family. When he was about to leave Yingtian, he heard that Emperor Taizu was going to take his family to Yingtian's old house. Now that he has been reinstated, he can go home to reunite with his wife and children when he recovers. Thinking of this, Da Kui couldn't help but laugh stupidly.

Two magpies flew into the garden and landed on a dried plum tree. Seeing the magpie Dakui is in a better mood, as the old saying goes: the magpie announces the good news. It seems that the comfortable days that I have been thinking about in my heart are not far off.

At this moment, Yang Xiaohu rushed into the yard like a fly. Running all the way, he shouted with a smile: "Father-in-law, look at who's coming." Da Kui turned his head to look, only to see Yang Xiaohu just running in front of him, and then three people came in at the gate of the garden. Da Kui couldn't help but be overjoyed when he looked at it. The people who came turned out to be Master Feng, Meng Ge and Ou Sledgehammer.

The three of them walked quickly to Da Kui and bowed down: "Subordinates, see Lord Zhang." ”

Da Kuihaha laughed and got up and helped the three of them up one by one, and couldn't help but take a closer look. Master Feng has lost his son when he is old, and his face is still sad. Meng Ge was smiling, still straightforward. The sledgehammer is already burly, and with his dark complexion, he looks even more powerful and powerful.

Da Kui sighed: "If you had come to Lanzhou to find me earlier, I wouldn't have ended up like this." There are tens of thousands of people in the forward army, but there is not even a person close to him. ”

Yang Xiaohu not only muttered when he heard this: "My father-in-law is so unreasonable, I am not a confidant?" Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Master Feng forced a smile and said, "Madam said, I am afraid that Lord Zhang will be alone in appearance, so I asked us to come to Lanzhou to look for you." Earlier there was a Holy Pass, and we couldn't come even if we wanted to. ”

Da Kui coughed lightly and said with a haha: "This place is not the place to talk, come and come, come to the hall and drink tea." ”

Two guards walked over and walked back with Da Kui on the left and right, and Meng Ge couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it: "My lord, what's wrong?"

Yang Xiaohu hurriedly raised his lips with his fingers on the side, and Meng Ge swallowed back the words on his lips.

Everyone entered the front hall and sat down. The guards served tea, and Da Kui talked about his own business. None of the people present are outsiders, and Da Kui does not hide it, and states everything in detail. Hearing the thrill, everyone couldn't help but be moved.

Meng Ge and Ou Da Hammer were both from the military, so the reaction was not great. Master Feng is a literati, and every time he hears the key points, he is amazed in amazement, until Da Kui finishes telling his own experience, Master Feng said: "I thought that the pain of my loss of a son was a great sorrow in the world, but I didn't expect that Master Zhang was born and died from his hometown, it was so dangerous." ”

Da Kui smiled and said, "What did Master Feng say, the man should go to the country." What is the fear of dying for the sake of the people?" said he reached out to serve the tea, tasted it and found that the taste was wrong, and opened the lid of the tea cup, only to find that the cup was red date tea.

Yang Xiaohu stood aside and said with a smile: "Lang Zhong said that when the father-in-law is using medicine, he can't drink tea. Therefore, I have prepared red date tea early. ”

Da Kui couldn't help laughing and said, "Then you still said that you were going to go to the temple fair to buy red dates?"

Yang Xiaohu scratched his head and said: "I haven't gone out for many days, and the child just wants to go out and see the world." ”

Da Kui smiled, and asked Meng Ge and the three about the road, and the guest and host naturally had a long talk.

Just when everyone was talking happily, a soldier rushed into the door, and the soldier bowed to Da Kui when he entered the hall, and then said: "Lord Zhang, General Zhang Wen asked the little one to inform the adults, and Timur personally led an army of 200,000 to take Lanzhou, which is now less than fifty miles away from the north bank of the Yellow River. ”

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, Da Kui pondered for a moment before saying, "Please General Zhang Wen come here to discuss matters." ”

The soldier got up and walked out of the hall under the order, Da Kui looked at Master Feng, Meng Ge and Ou Da Hammer and smiled: "It's really not a coincidence that the three of them came to Lanzhou this time. Now that the Yuan army has not arrived, I hope that the three of them will leave the city as soon as possible, and the horse will be anxious to Yingtian. ”

Meng Ge stood up with a snort and said rudely: "You and I are brothers, we should live and die together." ”

Ou Dazhui said with a smile: "Meng Ge and I are inseparable from Meng, and I will not leave if he stays." ”

In the end, Master Feng stood up and said, "I, Feng Yazhong, am now alone without any worries, and I am the same wherever I go. ”

Da Kui nodded, and then said: "Since this is the case, let me wait to defend Lanzhou, the city is here." ”

"Defend Lanzhou, the city is in the people. The three of them clasped their fists and sang a promise at the same time.

Yang Xiaohu said behind Da Kui: "My father-in-law is so weak now, how can he go into battle to kill the enemy?"

Hearing this, Da Kui not only sighed and slowly sat back.

Meng Ge laughed and said, "With me and my district brother here, the adults of nature protection are thoughtful." ”

Yang Xiaohu didn't seem to hear it, and stood there wrenching his fingers. Seeing this, Da Kui not only asked, "What are you doing?"

Yang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Senior Ouyang said that the stepfather only needs to take medicine for half a month to drink tiger bone wine, and there are still three days left in the calculation. After three days, you will recover after drinking tiger bone wine, and it is said that there are 20,000 soldiers and horses in this city, and it is not a problem to support the arrival of reinforcements. ”

When Da Kui heard Yang Xiaohu say this, the stone in his heart fell to the ground. After a month, you can get back to normal, which is a good thing.

While everyone was talking, a report came from outside the door: "General Zhang Wen has arrived." ”

Da Kui hurriedly got up to greet him, only to see Zhang Wen bring several generals in the army into the hall together, and everyone greeted each other, and then the guests and hosts sat down.

Zhang Wen first spoke: "The men and horses of my Ming Army Brigade have just returned to the DPRK, and the expansion received the news that they brought troops to take my Lanzhou. The Yuan army was 200,000, and our army left only 20,000 men and horses in Lanzhou, even if the people were recruited to help defend the city, it would be difficult to survive two months. I wonder what you think?"

Da Kui saw that there were two acquaintances who came with Zhang Wen, and these two were the two brothers Houji and Hou Yong. Da Kui not only smiled and asked, "The two generals are also there?"

Zhang Wen explained: "The marshal was afraid that the city of Lanzhou would be alone, so he was recommended by General Sun Qian and left the two generals Houji and Hou Yong in Lanzhou. ”

Da Kui nodded, bypassed this and said: "This time, Timur's heavy troops are coming, and we need to contact the left guards to enter the city as soon as possible. At present, there are Pingliangwei, Huiningwei, and Jingningwei three soldiers and horses can be mobilized. Each guard has 5,000 men and horses, if they can gather in Lanzhou, they can resist for a while. ”

Zhang Wen nodded and said: "What Lord Zhang said is in line with the last general's mind, and the last general has sent a messenger to send a message to Sanwei, and it is expected that reinforcements will arrive in the near future." After a pause, Zhang Wen said again: "The grain and grass in the city are enough to support a year, and if the three guards enter the city, they can hold on for several months." The last general has asked for help from the marshal's army, and it is expected that he will receive the news in less than half a month. ”

Da Kui nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is the best, Zhang Wen can think of all the military details." The marshal really didn't see the wrong person. ”

Zhang Wen said humbly: "My lord praised it falsely. ”

Da Kui pondered for a moment before saying: "Now that the Yellow River is frozen, it saves the trouble of the Yuan army crossing the river, how should this matter be dealt with?"

Zhang Wen said: "If the river freezes, the Yuan army can move unimpeded." In this way, we must be fast and get ahead of everything. ”

Everyone present also nodded yes, and Zhang Wen continued: "The last general is here to explain this matter to the adults, since everyone has no objections, the matter is settled." After speaking, Zhang Wen took the generals to leave, and Da Kui ordered Yang Xiaohu to send off the guests.

When Zhang Wen left, Da Kui yawned, but he looked tired. Now Da Kui is weak and can't sit for a long time. It's only half a day's work, and I'm tired.

Master Feng opened his mouth at this moment: "Lord Zhang, my subordinates always feel that this matter is not so simple. ”

Da Kui hurriedly asked the reason, and Master Feng said: "The soldier is treacherous, we need to be careful to beware of spies." After a pause, Master Feng continued: "It is impossible not to prepare early for the expansion of Timur's army. As soon as the Ming army withdrew, Timur received the news, and it seems that the matter still needs to be considered. ”

Da Kui thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile: "In this way, the heavy responsibility of guarding the four gates falls on our heads." ”

Meng Ge and Ou Sledgehammer got up and arched their hands: "But according to the orders of the adults." ”

Da Kui yawned again, and then said, "Don't be in a hurry at this time, Master Ben will go to sleep first." The three people in the hall couldn't help but be speechless when they heard Da Kui say this.
