fifty-eight

On the battlefield, at this time, the militia had already taken the advantage, only Wu Chuanyu led two squads to break the team, only rushed through the riverbed, the militia was a big victory, at this time the Fang family soldiers were in chaos, not a system, it was the time of the chaos.

But in the distance, there are almost two people high river roaring down, only in another bay, it rushed to the riverbed full of corpses, and at this time the flow of militia behind the earth-shattering golden gong, that is urging the soldiers to retreat quickly, but at this time thousands of flow militia are on the riverbed, and the armor pacesetter also surrounded the two killer teams led by Wu Chuanyu, who were attacking fiercely, and saw the roaring water rushing over, and stopped for a while, looking at the water that exceeded two heads rushing over, the water with countless mud, sand and stones, and also sent outThe sound of "boom" is huge.

Wu Chuanyu said loudly: "Run backwards." At this time, their killer team is closer to the river dam on the side of Fangjiazhuang, and it is the best choice to run to the side of Fangjiazhuang, at this time, the flood is coming, and the armored pacesetters besieging outside have no time to attack this small phalanx anymore, they are all in a daze, this is a good time to escape.

A group of people scattered in a hurry, and fled desperately to Fangjiazhuang behind, at this time, the water was only a hundred steps, and the roar of the water could be heard clearly, Wu Chuanyu said loudly: "Run, run, run, how much can you run." In order to run faster, some of the armor guards suddenly threw away their weapons, and some took off their armor while running.

People can't run the water, hundreds of steps on the riverbed, the militia are in a mess, some run to Fangjiazhuang, some run to the dam on the side of the militia, and some stay in place, I don't know what happened, on the dam side of the militia, Hu Haima only left a few hundred men did not go into battle, in order to break through Fangjiazhuang, he mobilized all the forces, almost all those who can go into battle are on the battlefield, although they are not the elite like the pacesetters in armor, but they are also young and strong, and they can't play a role at the moment.

A few of Hu Haima's personal soldiers hugged Hu Haima, Hu Haima was only a few dozen steps away from the river dam, he looked up to the sky and cried, almost wanted to die here, several personal guards could not care about humility, suddenly dragged him, dragged to the side of the river dam, Hu Quan's military system, if the lord is about to die, his personal guards will accompany the funeral.

Wu Chuanyu performed light skills, not touching the ground, fortunately the riverbed on this side is slightly higher than the riverbed on the side, he just rushed to the dam, and saw some homeless soldiers in armor mixed with their own killer team members squeezed onto the dam, they were no longer desperate at this time, they all wanted to avoid the big water behind, but the Zhuang soldiers of Fangjiazhuang beckoned the weapons in their hands to the riverbed militia who squeezed towards the river dam, anyone who was not their own people, were pushed into the river by the Fang soldiers on the dam, at this time most of these elite pacesetters took off their armor and threw weapons, and those who did not throw weapons and armor were behind, and they definitely couldn't run fast with dozens of catties of things on their bodies。

Wu Chuanyu looked back, only to see countless people fluttering in the water, some people shouted loudly, the banner of the militia also made the water roll up, floating everywhere in the turbulent river, a few people hugged the stone to save their lives, but the water was too big, they couldn't hold on for a while, as soon as their hands were loosened, the people also let the water blow away.

The soldiers of the Fang family on the bank of the river all looked at the riverbed of more than 100 steps, in order to keep it secret, very few of them knew today's plan, they only knew that Zhang Jiayu took some people away, and many people speculated that it was to protect Fang Juren and escape quietly, but then Miss Fang appeared, only to dispel everyone's thoughts, and now they knew that it was originally to store water upstream.

The river began to calm down slowly, the roaring water quieted down, the water level began to drop, and the pebbles in the river began to appear, and everyone looked wide.

I saw that on the riverbed, only scattered clothes and armor hooked on the side of the stone, slowly floating in the water, some corpses stumbled under the stone, unable to see the face clearly, flags and weapons can be seen a lot, but just now in this riverbed thousands of people, almost all gone, after the water, it is very calm, except for the sound of water, there is silence outside this Fangjiazhuang, I can't see that there are thousands of people here just now.

Looking at the other side again, I only saw a figure running backwards in the distance, and there were only a few hundred people who ran away at this time.

As if nothing had happened.

After the war, everything was quiet, a lot of Fang soldiers on the riverbed were carrying the corpses, searching for clothes, this battle, although the militia was defeated, but the Zhuang soldiers of Fangjiazhuang were also killed and wounded, and now there are hundreds of corpses lying flat on the river dam, all covered with white cloth, and a row of old people and children caress the corpses and cry.

Zhang Jiayu rushed back from the upstream, his men were all intact, when he rushed down, the remaining wandering militia were scattered, and only a few hundred men ran away, and hundreds of corpses were piled up in a river bay below, most of them were wandering militiamen, where the current had to whirl, so the corpses above were left.

Zhang Jiayu and Wu Chuanyu each brought people to the edge of the river, and saw that the corpses were piled up in several layers in this small bay, most of them were face down, and there were several flags floating on the river, Wu Chuanyu recognized one of the flags as the team flag of the Ninth Killing Team, and the flag captain who held the team flag moved in the water, it seemed that there was still gas, Wu Chuanyu hurriedly said loudly: "Quickly pull that person up, he is still angry." Several of his men hurriedly threw out the noose, and a few people who knew how to water wanted to go into the water to save them, and after a while, they brought the captain of the flag ashore, and the captain of the flag was Fang Yinglong, the captain of the ninth killer team.

Fang Yinglong spit two mouthfuls of water by the river, and then he no longer had the strength, the person on the side pressed his shoulder hard, and there was still blood oozing from his shoulder, the Ninth Killer Team was killed, and now Fang Yinglong was the only one who wanted to survive, but his situation would not violate military discipline and kill his head.

Wu Chuanyu went down again, he was thinking more about saving some people now, but Zhang Jiayu shouted to the people behind: "You find a way to fish up the corpses of the displaced pacesetters who sank in the water." One of the killer captains said, "Why do you want to fish up the bodies of these people, just let them rot at the bottom of the river." The head of the Zhang family said: "The armor on their bodies is all good things, and they must be fished." "The captain didn't want to go to the enemy's body, after this battle, the Fang family soldiers hated the militia to the bone, of course he didn't want to, but Zhang Jiayu spoke, so he had to do it.

Because the homeless pacesetters were wearing heavy armor, most of them didn't have time to take off their armor when the water came, so they all sank to the bottom of the water.

The two went all the way down to a river bay and saw more corpses, but the river bay here is larger and the water is deeper, so it seems that it is not easy to salvage.

Wu Chuanyu said: "Although my uncle talked to me about military affairs, it can be seen that he doesn't like to fight, and now that he sees so many corpses lying in the water, he understands how rare it is to live at home in peace." ”

Zhang Jiayu also said: " The Demon Sect will not die for a day, this war will not stop for a day, now countless people are displaced here in Shandong, the war is raging, we are fighting, several other places are also fighting, I heard that the general of the militia Deng Dezhi attacked to the south again, yesterday defeated another group of officers and soldiers, the general of the militia Hu Quan also made a gesture to storm Licheng, scared that Lord Cui will be more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in the north are accumulated in Licheng, the county government outside is in an emergency, but he wants to put the soldiers and soldiers in the city, refusing to send the soldiers and horses to the rescue, these days, the militia does not know how many counties have been broken。 ”

Wu Chuanyu said: "Is this Lord Cui so stupid? The soldiers of the militia who can fight, there are only no more than 4,000 pacesetters in armor, and what other light soldiers dare to die, but they are just scary, even if the officers and soldiers are not as good as the pacesetters in armor, are they not as good as those light soldiers who dare to die, as long as these pacesetters are dragged out, it is not easy to defeat these cannon fodder soldiers?"

Zhang Jiayu said indignantly: "He is not stupid, he is not stupid at all, as long as Licheng is not lost, then he is not guilty, no matter how much the county government below loses, it will not be able to threaten his official position, but in this way, it will suffer those county governments that have just recovered their vitality, and the people who have just resumed production there are afraid that they will be involved in the militia again." ”

Wu Chuanyu was speechless.

Zhang Jiayu said: "Do you know why the exile militia is attacking in this season?"

Wu Chuanyu said: "That's to lay down a piece of land, I think the young man is trying to claim the king under the guise of cutting the land." ”

Zhang Jiayu said: "It's a big mistake, a few years ago, Wang Kaiping had an accident, it was because of a drought, there was no harvest in Qidi, and the people couldn't survive, so they followed the White Lotus Sect, but do you see that now, there is a trace of drought?"

Wu Chuanyu looked at the sky and said, "The rain is still sufficient, and there is no locust plague, so it should be a good harvest." Wu Chuanyu was born in a poor family, and he was very clear about these doorways, and when he thought of a good harvest, Wu Chuanyu's face also showed a smile.

Zhang Jiayu said: "The reason why they are attacking from all sides, and even risking being caught up by the Yan Liao soldiers behind, is because they are busy with farming now. ”

Wu Chuanyu: "Ah" shouted, "Then they want to destroy the farm, so that there will be no more crops here."

Zhang Jiayu said angrily: "That's right, as long as there is another great famine in Qidi, then the exile militia will definitely grow again and destroy spring ploughing, it is for this purpose, I heard that it was a villain named Qin Bandit who proposed to Se Gongzi, this guy is really a great harm to the country." After speaking, Zhang Jiayu palmed the stone, and the stone chips flew.

Wu Chuanyu said: "Only in addition to the Demon Sect, can there be a peace, and now that the founding of the country is less than a hundred years old, the Demon Sect is thinking about changing the dynasty, it is really a wolf's ambition." ”

Zhang Jiayu said: "I don't know what the situation of the two lakes is, if you want to come to the more than 100,000 troops to suppress the realm, you will definitely be able to wipe out the luxury family, and at that time, the court will have more energy to suppress this side." ”

Wu Chuanyu also thought of his master uncle, thought of the gentle Xie Yu, and couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Jiayu said: "I hope that the Yan soldiers and the Liao soldiers will come soon, attack each other before and after, and they will definitely be able to defeat the militia as soon as possible." ”

Wu Chuanyu also said: "I also think about it. ”

At this time, in the north of a hundred miles away, there is a big city, the city is three feet high and two feet, the wall is thick up to 20 steps, the surrounding area is dozens of miles, the drum tower above, the arrow tower is complete, the big banner on the city is displayed, countless soldiers are on it, it is the center of a province - Licheng.

Outside the city, more than 10 military camps sit together, countless soldiers and horses are mobilized, people and horses come and go, the sound of horses neighing does not stop, the flag is waved like a cloud, not to mention the generals, guerrillas, even the general army flag also has a few, this camp is stationed on the side of the city gate.

There are dozens of rows of rejecting horses at the gate of the city, guarded by the standard battalion soldiers of Cui Guiyuan, the capital of a province, they are well fed, the standard battalion is a direct subordinate of the capital of a province, although the officers and soldiers of the standard battalion are military generals, but they are thugs in the civilian system.

Entered the city, go to the middle of the cross street on a mile distance, in the middle of hundreds of people's houses lined up on both sides, there are prosperous places such as green buildings, theaters, restaurants, etc., after these places, to the middle, you will see the governor's yamen open to the south, two pairs of big lions at the door, and a sentry officer and soldier guard, different from other yamen, the yamen of the capital are guarded by the standard camp of its chief, Shandong now does not have a metropolitan governor, the metropolitan governor's house has been canceled for decades, but the governor is there, this is the day Li Wenhong tried his best to entertain the Cui Guiyuan lord, this Cui lord in the court seems to be a clear stream, but in private, is also pro-orthodox。

Since the outbreak of the war in Shandong, Shandong's political envoys, criminal envoys, and even provincial academic and political envoys have all been under the jurisdiction of the governor, which means that the governor is now the largest official and can mobilize all civil, military, and political affairs.

A group of officials waited carefully outside the door, all of them shivered, and now if they lose a county, they will cut off the officials of a county, and if they lose a government, they will cut off the officials of a government, under such a policy, the governor who holds great power has become a tougher boss than the emperor, and this Lord Cui has already beheaded more than ten criminal officials.

After a while, a doorman pushed a smiling face, turned in without smiling, and said with a smile to these green-robed and green-robed officials: "Master Cui said that the money and food are insufficient, so you can't send troops to save them, please go back." After saying that, he sneered and was about to leave.

A young official in a green robe in the courtyard shouted, suddenly pounced on the general, and said loudly: "Lord Cui, Lord Cui, and 100,000 people in Tai'an Mansion are waiting for reinforcements from Licheng, and the lower officials have been waiting for more than ten days, if you don't send troops again, hundreds of thousands of people will suffer from swords." He howled wildly as he knelt down and begged.

The doorman was extremely impatient, kicked the little official away with a strong kick, touched a ground of dust on the ground, and the official uniform was covered with dust, and the doorman said coldly: "This lord, it's not that my family doesn't want to send troops, but the money and food are insufficient, where do the soldiers come from?"

The petty official can't take care of it, if the city of Tai'an falls, more than 100,000 people have to join the militia, and the official who lost the land will be beheaded immediately, but I am afraid that the news of the fall of Tai'an will come, and the first one to be beheaded is him, and he can't take care of it at the moment, so he said: " Cui Guiyuan, don't think I don't know, Tai'an has fallen, you are innocent anyway, but if you send troops to save it, if it fails, you will be involved, you are worried about being guilty, Cui Guiyuan, for the sake of your career, you have ignored 100,000 people, ignored thousands of displaced people, your books of sages have been read there, do you have a conscience, what are the 30,000 troops outside the city for, have you watched 100,000 people fall into the homelessness? Why don't you send troops, why don't you send troops, why don't you send troops...... He was hoarse, at first there was a little sound, but at last there was no sound, just pointing behind the door, and his face was furious.

The doorman sneered and said, "Master Geng Ruji, in the final analysis, it's not for yourself, what are you thinking about is to keep your head, what kind of saint are you pretending?" After speaking, the doorman turned around and left, and some other officials on the other side were a little farther away from this Geng Ruji, and the sound of his scolding just now had already torn his face with Cui Guiyuan, so it was better to stay away from this person.

When the door entered, he saw Cui Guiyuan and several fathers from the court sitting on a chair in the courtyard, behind were more than a dozen servants, and there were special people shaking fans in the back, and more than ten handsome maids were waiting carefully in the back, Cui Guiyuan's face was ruddy, and he stroked his silver and white long beard with his hand, talking and laughing with the father-in-law in front, and the doorman recognized that the current father-in-law was the father-in-law of Wang Andong, the master of ceremonies, and the father-in-law of Wei had always been at odds, and he was close to the orthodox people, and his own master was also very close.

In front of a few people, an opera troupe was singing, and a Hua Dan was singing: "I want to marry Zongbao back then, break the gate of heaven to protect the Song family, and from then on, I often drink the blood of the knife head before the battle, and I still sleep right away at night, only to hear the laughter of the King of Song on the Golden Palace, and the blood and tears of my Tianbo Mansion ripple...... "This is exactly the lyrics in the Yu song."

The prince said in a strange voice: "Then these grains and grass have arrived, our family can also take a rest, I heard that Lord Cui likes Yuqu, this performance of Mu Guiying is really cute." After speaking, he looked at Hua Dan on the stage in front of him.

Master Cui didn't know what this father-in-law meant, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law likes it, so I gave it to my father-in-law, and I want to come to Mu Guiying to serve my father-in-law, which is also Mu Guiying's blessing." He glanced at the door on the side, and the door had already understood and went down to make arrangements.

The prince got up and went down with a smile, when the two were talking, Geng Ruji outside was still scolding, and then the scolding came faintly, at this time a young man beside Cui Guiyuan, who was not wearing an official robe, saw that the prince was gone, and stepped forward and said: "Uncle Shi, I have stored grain and grass for more than three months now, can I take the initiative to attack." This person is Li Wenhong, who is now living in Cui Guiyuan's home.

Cui Guiyuan glanced at Li Wenhong, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Nephew, if you have time, you should contact the prince more and ask him for advice from the old man, this is the way of the official, you are still too tender, and in the future, you will be in the court, I am afraid that you will have to support each other with the prince." With that, he threw the teacup on the table and walked back.

Geng Ruji was still scolding in front of him.

The night was dark, a group of petty officials dispersed from the door of the governor's yamen, Li Wenhong also went out from the side, and saw Geng Ruji covered in ashes, extremely embarrassed, and also came out of the yamen, he scolded for a day, today is to offend Cui Guiyuan ruthlessly, and there is no hope at all if he wants to fight.

At this time, the militia was besieging Tai'an Mansion, Hu Quan personally led the troops, surrounded Tai'an like an iron bucket, he and a few attachés rushed out, originally to borrow troops from Cui Guiyuan, but it has been more than ten days, Cui Guiyuan did not see him, when he left, there was almost no food in Tai'an City, thinking of more than 100,000 people in the city, once the city was broken, it was unimaginable.

Geng Ruji saw Li Wenhong in front of him, knew that Li Wenhong was a backstage person, and ran to Li Wenhong under great joy, grabbed Li Wenhong's hands, and wanted to kneel down for Li Wenhong, he didn't eat for a day, he didn't have any strength, and his body was dusty, but when he thought of the hope of Fucheng, he had more strength, Geng Ruji suddenly said loudly: "Li Zhifu, Li Gongzi, please, please, save 100,000 people in Tai'an City, and if you don't send troops to save each other, people in Tai'an City will eat people." He is also telling the truth, since Shandong raised troops again, Cui Guiyuan transferred tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to Licheng, not to Tai'an to send a soldier, a soldier and a grain of grain, now Tai'an is the prefect to mobilize the people to defend the city.

As soon as Li Wenhong thought of his situation, he helped Geng Ruji up and said, "Master Geng, I can't help you, you better find someone else." After speaking, he turned around and hurried away, only Geng Ruji stood alone in the empty street, the lights stretched his shadow long, and the pedestrians on one side walked around him.

Geng Ruji was no longer able to cry at this time, and said in his heart: "How is this good, the prefect has told me a thousand times, and the people in the city are looking forward to it, and Cui Guiyuan has not sent a single rescuer, but he taught me how to save Tai'an, and now, I only have to bring dozens of family members to impact the military formation of the White Lotus Sect, even if I die in front of the battle, I will not live up to the trust of the people in the city." Thinking of this, my heart calmed down, I sorted out my official uniform, and said in my heart: "I am determined to benefit one party, and now I am incompetent and incompetent, only by dying in front of the battle, I can live up to the emperor's land and the great kindness of my parents." He walked quickly to the official post, where he still had a dozen family members, and he planned to take his family to die in the army of displaced people.

When he arrived at the post house, the post man knew that he had sinned against the governor, and he didn't come to greet him, and he didn't care anymore, and when he entered the hall, he saw several generals drinking together, and from time to time he made a shouting sound, thinking that it was a reinforcement who had just arrived in Licheng, and he had already had a will to die at this time, if it was before, he would definitely come forward to make friends, but he didn't need it at this time, thinking of this, he quickly stepped into his room,

After gathering dozens of family members, Geng Ruji sat in the hall and looked at more than a dozen servants in front of him, these people were all born to the family, and their ancestors were all servants of the Geng family, not hired, and they had always been loyal to themselves, but this was a mortal situation, I don't know if there were those people who were willing to follow, and made up my mind in my heart, and explained to them that if they were unwilling to follow, they would send the silver they had with them and let him disperse.

At that moment, he slowly spoke: "Tai'an is urgent, this official is entrusted by the people of the whole city, to ask for help, I don't want to do it unsuccessfully, I am ashamed of the prefect, I am ashamed of my father, this official has already decided to break into the camp of the militia, to die Mingzhi, this time there is no life, if you are not willing to follow, go now." As soon as he finished speaking, the old servants on the ground had already pounced on him, hugged Geng Ruji and said loudly: "Young master, young master, this is not the end of the matter,...... The servants below also buzzed and made many sounds.

Geng Ruji said loudly: "The whole city of 100,000 people trust, that day in order to let our group out of the city, sacrificed hundreds of soldiers, the people of the city are looking forward to the official can bring back reinforcements, now the soldiers can't be invited, how can the official escape alone, if you don't want to go, you can leave now." ”

Everyone below stopped, looked at each other, knowing that the master of their family was not joking, they had all done things under Geng Ruji for a long time, knowing Geng Ruji's personality, and knowing that their own master could do it.

At the next time, the little servant in Tsing Yi was his own scholar, named Geng Qing, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said: "Little master, there is still an old lady and sister in the small family to support, and the little one can't die, so he has to go." ”

Geng Ruji knew that what he said was the truth, so he said: "I know your family background, so you can go." I don't want Geng Qing to say: "Please also ask the master to return the small purchase documents to the small one, or the innocent body of the small one." More than a dozen servants with the same thoughts knelt down and said in unison: "Please return our master, a young innocent man." Geng Ruji said: "You don't have to worry, these things are all in the city, presumably once the city is broken, these things will go with the soldiers, if you don't want to follow, just go now." ”

Several of the servants did not believe it, looked at each other for a while, and finally doubted it, got up and went to the door.

Geng Qing also knelt down and kowtowed: "Although the master is good to the small, but the little one wants to be free, so I will say goodbye to the master." With that, he turned and went to the door.

Geng Ruji's more than ten domestic servants all left the post in twos and threes, and disappeared after a short time.

There is only one old Zhang Tou, who has grown up with himself since he was a child, like a father and son, Lao Zhang Tou took out Geng Ruji's flag, which was the flag of Tai'an Punishment and Inspection, the official position of Zheng Liupin, and the same level as the prefect, and he can be regarded as a high-ranking official, Geng Ruji intends to die in front of the militia formation, so he must die above board, so the flag, the official uniform, these things must not be sloppy.

Geng Ruji looked at the empty hall and said, "Lao Zhang, take care of my official uniform, and we will leave the city early tomorrow morning, this is the time for me to be loyal to the country." With tears on his face, Lao Zhangtou carefully put away Geng Ruji's official uniform, and he will wear it to death tomorrow morning.

A rough howl suddenly sounded in front of the hall, and one person shouted: "You evil slaves, you have left your master at this time, it is nothing, Lao Li looks down on this kind of betrayal." Lao Zhang poked his head out, and saw that the main general who was drinking below just now was twisting Geng Qing, who was trying to get away, and was slapping his face, scolding himself: "What's it, it's just a ...... to be beaten."

Geng Ruji originally planned to spend one night in the hall, and when he was going to die, he was in no mood to sleep, but when he heard the sound outside, he also got up, poked his head out, and saw the general raise his palm to hit Geng Qing.

Geng Ruji said: "This general, please stop." The general stopped, turned his head, and showed a face with Chinese characters, with extremely thick eyebrows, and at a glance he knew that he was a member of Yanliao.

The general opened his mouth and said, "This general Li led the teaching, and I have seen this adult." This military general is stout, with a mountain armor on his body, and it can be seen that he is a military attache of the third grade, Geng Ruji just replied: "This general, let him go, he is no longer the servant of this official." He had the will to die at this time, so he had no intention of dealing with others anymore, but unexpectedly, Li led the teaching: "This adult is Lord Geng of Tai'an, the young general has already heard the reputation of the adult, the adult loves the people like a son, and has done a number of things for the country and the people in office, and the last general is like thunder." Geng Ruji's official reputation is still good, and he also has a clear name, but these things are in the officialdom, not only did not bring him a trace of benefits, but made his colleagues speak coldly, and he just wanted to send the general away quickly, so he said: "General Li, please let this servant go, I am a person who is going to die, and I don't need anyone to accompany me." Li Shujiao said loudly: "This is where the words are, I heard the words of Lord Geng just now, these servants are so greedy for life and afraid of death, they actually let you go to death alone, where the truth comes from." Geng Ruji knew that his words just now had been heard by the military attaché, so he said: "That's right, Geng was sent to death alone, why bother with a human life." Li Shu taught: "Master Geng don't worry, the last general will go with you to save Tai'an Mansion, and he will definitely not let Tai'an Mansion fall into the hands of the exiles." ”

Hearing this, Geng Ruji was overjoyed, like a long drought and a rainy day, his body trembled, and he hurriedly said: "General Li's words are true, if you save the 100,000 people of Tai'an, Geng should sacrifice his life to repay him." When he said this, he was about to kneel, and he was excited when he thought that Tai'an was saved.

Li Shu taught: "Lord Geng don't worry, Geng's two thousand sons and daughters, all of them are good at battle, and they are definitely not afraid of the outcasts." As he spoke, he patted his chest hard, looking full of certainty, and a few of his relatives behind him wanted to speak and stopped, and pulled Li Shujiao, but Geng Ruji didn't see it, he was excited, and he wanted to kneel.

Li Shujiao grabbed Geng Ruji and said loudly: "Lord Geng, you just have to sleep well, tomorrow morning, you will go out of the city with me and go to save Tai'an Mansion with the two thousand sons of the general." Geng Ruji thought that there were soldiers to save the city, and he just wanted to laugh a few times with joy in his heart, and several soldiers and Lao Zhangtou pushed him into the living room together, with a look of ecstasy on his face.

Geng Ruji was like in a dream, suddenly laughed a few times in the room, and shouted to the sky: "There is help, Tai'an is saved......" suddenly made a lot of noise.

As soon as the door was closed, a pro-soldier behind Li Shujiao said: "Master Li, how can this be made, where is this the governor's strict order to go?" Several pro-soldiers persuaded Li Shujiao together, asking Li Shujiao not to pay attention to Geng Ruji, these days Cui Guiyuan strictly ordered not to attack, repeating every day.

Li led the teaching: "And live, we are soldiers to eat food, in order to kill the enemy to serve the country, to ensure the safety of one side, our Liao soldiers have been in Licheng for more than ten days, but the governor has no intention of attacking, let the militia do evil outside, every time I see the displaced people, the background is away from home, we go all the way south, I don't know how many homeless people starved to death on the side of the road, if I don't fight those evil militia, I can't calm down in my heart." ”

Several guards stopped together, they went all the way south from Liaozhen, only to see countless homeless people starving to death on the side of the road, corpses and bones paving the road, this Qi is often ten miles without people, I thought that once I arrived in Licheng, I could attack, defeated the militia, I didn't want to get to Licheng, but Cui Guiyuan strictly ordered the Liao soldiers of the Yan soldiers who arrived in Licheng not to attack, and watched the Liumin everywhere destroy the spring busy farming.

A soldier named Li Chenglu said: "General, Lord Cui will not let us attack, if we violate his military discipline, then Lord Cui asks, what will we say?" Li Sui taught: "Lord Cui is a civil official, he is afraid of losing the battle, as long as we win this battle, presumably Lord Cui has nothing to say, the credit belongs to him, and he will not care about it at that time." He said to a few soldiers around him: "Li Chengen, Li Chengzhi, you tell you to go down, get ready tonight, and we will set off early tomorrow morning to relieve the siege of Tai'an." Several officers under him were ordered, and Li Chenglu said, "My lord." He wanted to say something, but when he saw Li Shujiao's face, he stopped, he knew his general's temper very well, and he couldn't change the general's decision if he continued to talk, so he closed his mouth and said secretly in his heart: "God bless, don't make any trouble, I just hope that Lord Cui is really as the general said, but he is afraid of defeat and does not dare to fight, not for any other reason." ”

At that moment, several generals went out and arranged overnight, intending to attack Tai'an.
