Chapter 303: I will definitely bring back reinforcements
"The last general wants to ask the queen to bring my Long Xiangwei's letter back to Yumen Pass and send it back to the Han Dynasty" When this request was made, Gao Zhong even knelt to show his solemnity and sacredness.
The queen was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Does the general plan to use this amount of troops to hold Shule?
Gao Zhong smiled and said, "The queen has sent the supplies, will I still leave?" Even if I don't have these supplies, grain and grass, I will still stick to Shule City, the queen, please rest assured."
The queen was puzzled, "Why, Shule is the barrier of the East Mountain Pass, but the biggest barrier of the East Mountain Pass is Pei Shan City, if Pei Shan City cannot be defended, then it is meaningless to defend Shule alone."
Gao Zhong smiled and didn't answer, but repeated again, "The last general hopes that the queen can send these letters back to the Han border, and as for why I, Long Xiangwei, am guarding here, I won't bother the queen."
Seeing that Gao Zhong had no intention of telling him the intention of this move, the queen could only nod and say, "This is also easy to do, how many family letters are there?"
Gao Zhong nodded and motioned for the queen to come out with him.
A few people came to the barracks on the military platform, and saw Wu Xu counting the supplies, so Gao Zhong called out, "Captain Wu, beat the drums, let everyone come to the concentration, General Ben has something to say, and ordered someone to move out all the family letters and move here."
The sound of drumming spread throughout Shule City, and all the troops of Long Xiangwei immediately gathered here, and more than 500 people stood silently on the school ground, looking solemn, waiting for Gao Zhong to speak. Gao Pet cleared his throat and made a voice with a thick internal force" The Northwest Army and the Western Regions have been completely annihilated, and now in the whole territory of Northern Xinjiang, only our Shule City defenders are left, from today onwards, we may have no foreign aid, and in the spring of the next year, we may have no grain and grass, but Shule City must be defended, because Shule City controls the Tianshan East Pass, if this is occupied by the Xiongnu, then in a few days, the large army of the Xiongnu Army can drive straight into the southern Xinjiang from here through the Dongshan Road, without having to detour through the West Mountain Pass, and at that time, the southern Xinjiang will all become the pastures of the Huns. The Huns went south with all their might, and if they broke through the southern frontier, they would directly threaten Jincheng County in Liangzhou, and at that time the problem of the Huns would get worse and worse, and the Silk Road that our Han sages had laid down would be destroyed in one fell swoop."
The queen suddenly realized when she heard this, so it is so, no wonder this little general always insisted on holding Shule City, it turned out that the Dongshan Road of Shule City is not only the northern frontier, but also vaguely has such a role under this battle, if this is part of the Huns' plan, then this little general is the key to discovering the Huns, and intends to delay this plan to death.
As soon as Gao Zhong spoke, a group of soldiers began to discuss, and even Shaoyuan felt that the problem was not small. In this high pet, he directly showed his determination. took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to the queen with both hands, "Lord Huilan, I will hand over the letter to you in the name of a Han person, and the next general will live and die with Shule City, and the city is in the people", after the high favor of the main general made up his mind, these soldiers also made up their minds, regardless of the general, since the husband is wearing this military uniform, he will be a horse leather shroud. A man will go forward, find his letter, and solemnly hand it over to the queen again.
There was no heart-rending cry, and the whole process was as quiet as a soldier receiving food, but what was placed in the queen's hands was an immeasurable weight.
There is no one standing behind the queen, that is the position to follow the queen to leave, one day for Longxiang, for life for Longxiang, the strongest soldier in the Han Dynasty should naturally appear in the most dangerous position. Loyalty to the army and love for the country has outweighed their homesickness.
Gao Zhong nodded, "Very good, from this moment on, our Long Xiangwei will live and die with Shule, and this general and all the monarchs will live and die together!
The soldiers raised their weapons together and "live and die together, live and die together!"
Under the guidance of high favor, all the heads of the family were uniformly hidden under the wooden planks of the carriage to hide from the eyes and ears. When loading the car, Wu Xu, Gao Chong, and Shaoyuan got together again, not for anything else, but to overturn the oath they had just called.
"Childe, Shaoyuan, the two of you, one is the queen of the gate, and the other is the protégé of the Son of Heaven, both of them are noble and noble, and the future pillars of the society, so it is reasonable that they should not appear here, and they have done their best to keep it at this moment, please keep the two of you to be useful, and then please hand over Shule City to you, and the two of you will evacuate Shule with the queen!" Wu Xu took the lead in speaking.
"Captain Wu, General Ben only finished talking to you one moment ago about living and dying together, and the next moment he planned to evacuate by himself, we call him a liar, Nov. Abandoning his soldiers is regarded as unkindness, breach of promise is regarded as unrighteousness, seeing the enemy fleeing is regarded as disloyalty, and disobedience to the ancestral teachings is regarded as unfilial piety. Shaoyuan is not Long Xiangwei in the first place, and he has relatives who follow the army as a supervisor, so our army no longer needs to supervise the army at this moment, and Shaoyuan also asks to go back together."
"What are you talking about, you two, a hero and a famous man. But they all have military positions. Although I am a protégé of the Son of Heaven, it is just a matter of chance, and I don't value it myself, besides, I defend the country on behalf of the Son of Heaven, isn't it better than you?" Shaoyuan laughed.
"Nominally, you're better, but your skills in defending the city are far from ours, how can you understand?
"No, one day Shule City is still garrisoned by Long Xiang Guard, I will not leave here for a day, General Gao, you and I are at the same level, you don't have the power to order this general!" Shaoyuan countered.
There was a stalemate in the dispute, and in desperation, Gao Zhong had only one means, "In the name of General Long Xiang, I order Captain Wu Xu of the Tiger Wing to return to the Han Dynasty with the letter of protection, this is an order!"
Wu Xu shook his head, "Please forgive my subordinates for not being able to obey orders, Gao Dingyuan and Mrs. Gao have asked to protect the safety of their sons, and gentlemen should keep their promises!"
Who knew that Gao Zhong shook his head, took out another letter from his arms and said, " Brother Wu, Shaoyuan, I'm letting you go, it's not a joke, Shule City may be precarious, I probably speculated that the plan of the Huns has been written in detail on this letter, I need a trustworthy person to submit this letter directly to the court or the emperor, this matter is urgent, my Han will not enter the army in winter, if this letter is not handed over as soon as possible, until the real court soldiers arrive, the Huns are already sitting on the Han frontier is very dangerous, this matter is not a joke! Second, the book is very important, and it needs to be escorted by someone with strong martial arts. At the same time, I hope that those who go back can bring reinforcements as soon as possible, and if there are reinforcements who are familiar with our situation, we will be safe one day earlier, and after thinking about it, no one can do it except the two of you!"
Shaoyuan nodded, "That's okay, then Brother Wu, because you can't order me."
The soldier's duty is to obey orders, Wu Xu fell to the ground on his knees, with tears in his eyes, and took the letter that represented the hope of survival: "Subordinate, take the order! But please hold on! The subordinates will definitely bring rescuers, before that, the general must hold on." ”
Gao Pet laughed, "Don't worry, we have God's blessing, and this is not what we said, it was said by the Huns, okay, Brother Wu, you go down to pack your things first, it is estimated that the car has been loaded, don't catch up with the car"
Wu Xu bowed his hand and "his subordinates understand", Wu Xu was about to leave, but was stopped by Shaoyuan, "Brother Wu, after you go back, just tell Xiaoyue, you don't have to wait for me, if I can't go back, then Chaisang's land and property will all belong to Xiaoyue, if you can, then ask Brother Wu to find a good family on your behalf."
Wu Xu was stunned for a moment, and bowed, "Okay, Wu Xu remembered"
Wu Xu left, only the two of them were still in the open space, Gao Chong smiled and asked, "If you are reluctant, why don't you leave?"
Shaoyuan smiled, "The master once said that the living are always very hard, because they have to bring the dead to life, so sometimes it is better to die."
Gao Zhong was puzzled: "Then why did you still say that to Brother Wu? Wouldn't it be harder for Xiaoyue to do this?"
Shao Yuan smiled and shook his head, "I let him not have to wait for me any longer, just treat it as an end, if I can't go back, he can let go of his promise one day, I said that, at least I can make her easier when she puts it down, what about you? What you said to Bingluo is in the family letter?"
Unexpectedly, it was Gao Chong who shook his head indifferently, "No, since many things can't be said in person, then there is no need to say it"
