MTL - Long Wind Crossing-Chapter 79
The two of them had been tense for a day, and they were both a little tired. Gu Jiusi went to rest first. After Liu Yuru cleaned up, she also returned to the bed. She leaned against Gu Jiusi's arms and suddenly remembered: "Why did you let me today? Brother Ye is here to take care of things? He has just come to Wangdu, aren't you afraid that he will disobey the public?"
Stay, if I let them take charge, I might be a little frustrated in front of me at that time, and they will all surrender, they surrender, after King Liang enters the city, you and your parents, as the family of the generals, are afraid that you will not be able to escape."
Gu Jiusi said, calmly: "I know Ye Shian well, I know his ability and character, leave things to him, even if I lose in front, he will defend the city at all costs And about defending the city, Ye Shian has seen it with his uncle before. He is also a smart man. It is much better for him to be in charge than those rice buckets who only know how to fill their own pockets. As for whether he can convince the public, he will not pay back Are you there?"
Hearing Gu Jiusi mentioning herself, Liu Yuru was a little helpless: "You even counted me into it?"
"Where is this calculation?" Gu Jiusi sighed, "This is understanding."
Liu Yuru couldn't help laughing when she heard this, she leaned against him and continued, "Then you rushed out of the city like this today, did you think they would retreat?"
"Just give it a try."
Gu Jiusi closed his eyes and said peacefully: "When they came, the city was completely unprepared. If they attacked the city directly, the city would be destroyed. I figured in my heart that if King Liang was so desperate, the whole army would definitely be destroyed. People were panicking, and they were cautious. So I deliberately led the soldiers out and formed a line in front of them, so that they thought I had got the news in advance. Then I scolded them again, and then pretended to be defeated and ran away. When King Liang pursued, I let them Don't shoot arrows even if you get close, it's all about trying to lure them into the city. King Liang will be afraid when this set of scenes sits down, thinking that Mr. Fan has already got the news, and deliberately ambush here to wait for them, but I am young and inexperienced , the play is too exaggerated, let them see the opportunity."
Liu Yuru finally understood why King Liang retreated at the last mile today.
Gu Jiusi is acting, so why is King Liang not testing? If the people in the city at that time showed the intention of obstructing, King Liang might be determined to fight over. It's just that Gu Jiusi insisted to the last mile without firing arrows, which really made King Liang uneasy to retreat.
"This is King Liang's last chance to make a bet. He not only has to win Wangdu, but also can't lose too much." Gu Jiusi's voice was a little sleepy, "Otherwise, when Fan Xuan calls back, he will There is no chance of resisting Fan Xuan and Beiliang's contact at all, so he will be empty. But Wangdu has to take it down, so he is now waiting for the best time to attack. When the time comes, they will start ."
Speaking, Gu Jiusi opened his eyes, raised his hand and patted Liu Yuru's back, forced a smile: "But don't be afraid..."
"I'm not afraid." Liu Yuru opened her mouth decisively, she hugged Gu Jiusi, listened to Gu Jiusi's heartbeat, and said gently, "The wind and rain are coming, you are by my side, I'm not afraid at all. "
Gu Jiusi was stunned for a while, he pursed his lips, and finally said nothing, he sighed, and reached out to hug Liu Yuru.
"I owe you a wedding."
He spoke softly, Liu Yuru was a little confused, and listened to him: "When this matter is over, we will get married again."
Liu Yuru blushed slightly, and said nothing.
People always have something to look forward to.
When the two fell asleep, it was very lively above the tower. The girls from the entire Wangdu City went up to the tower, singing Jingzhou minor tunes, singing and laughing on the tower. They sang, danced, and called out to the soldiers outside the city. Some of the soldiers outside the city were so disturbed that they couldn't sleep. When they got up in the middle of the night, they saw the girl standing on the tower, wrapped in a veil, and couldn't sleep.
, I moved a lot closer, in order to see more clearly.
Everyone listened to the tunes of their hometown, looked at the woman in the distance, lying on the cold ground, some people couldn't help but be at a loss for a while.
Why did you come here all the way?
Now that my hometown has been captured by Liu Xingzhi, and Dongdu is besieged by Fan Xuan, I have traveled thousands of miles to Wangdu City. Even if Wangdu is captured, where is the road ahead?
The words of Gu Jiusi's scolding appeared in the soldiers' hearts during the day. This was not the first time they heard such words, but it was the first time they were scolded so nakedly, chaotic ministers, thieves, disloyal and unjust, the world Discuss it together. Harm the common people, mess up the great honor, and destroy the whole country.
It stopped and went back to the tent.
However, beheading those few people became a thorn in everyone's heart. Following King Liang to become such a traitor, he was beheaded just by looking at a girl.
After Gu Jiusi rested, he got up early in the morning, made a bowl of pear soup to moisten his throat, put on a red long gown, a warm pure white fox fur, a golden crown on his head, and a stove in his hand , Tong Munan instructed: "Go to the city and find some people who can scold people, no matter if they can scold, no matter if they can scold."
"What are you doing here?"
Liu Yuru walked out of the room with a smile and saw Gu Jiusi's dress.
Point cute feeling out.
Seeing Liu Yuru come out, Gu Jiusi smiled and said, "I'll go to the tower to see and bring people to fight with them."
Liu Yuru felt that this battle was spoken out of Gu Jiusi's mouth, like a child's play, so tens of thousands of troops were standing at the door, but they were fighting, she sighed and went to sort it out for him After taking off his clothes, he said softly, "Just scold you, don't screech your voice hoarse again."
Gu Jiusi was amused by this, he waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I brought a helper this time."
After Gu Jiusi and Liu Yuru discussed it, they went out. Liu Yuru went to Ye Shian, and together with Ye Shian, started to count the inventory of weapons to appease the people in the city.
Now that the army is outside, the people in the city are extremely nervous. Ye Shian let all the teahouses in the city entertain guests for free, and the government pays for them. The storyteller told the situation in time, so that the people should not be nervous.
Gu Jiusi went up to the tower. When he arrived, he saw Shen Ming leading a group of people standing. These people were all good at scolding in the city. Seeing Gu Jiusi trembling, Gu Jiusi Holding the heater, he said mildly: "Don't be nervous, stand on the tower and scold them, someone will protect you, and you can receive the reward after scolding. This is based on your ability to eat."
Everyone was appeased by Gu Jiusi's words, and they all secretly looked at this good-tempered adult. Gu Jiusi discussed the content of the curse with everyone. Today's curse this time is actually focusing on distracting the other party. military heart.
Let them know clearly what their current situation is, what King Liang intends to do, they follow King Liang, and what will happen in the end.
Everyone understood what Gu Jiusi said and understood how to scold him, Gu Jiusi took the lead, stood up to the tower, and immediately began to scold: "Liang Wang old thief, why don't you attack the city today? Is it a guilty conscience not to attack the city, afraid that you will wait for the sky to be struck by thunder when you do all these things? You bring these soldiers to Wangdu, do you think everyone doesn't know? You just want to take down Wangdu and give Youzhou as a gift , unite with Beiliang, and attack the Central Plains again! Do you think everyone doesn't know about your plan? Beiliang and I, Darong, have been fighting each other for hundreds of years. The throne, that is to replace the throne of King Liang with the safety of my Darong people for thousands of years in the future! Such a loss of power, humiliation, madness, treason and betrayal of the country, you are the King of Liang who did it!"
Gu Jiusi opened his mouth to explain King Liang's plans thoroughly. King Liang heard it in the account and wanted to rush with his sword. Qin Si held King Liang and said anxiously, "Your Highness. , I have already endured it before, and now I am impulsive."
"Look at what this **** is talking about!" King Liang said angrily, "How will other people see me when he says so?! Let him continue to scold me like this, and the battle will not be fought. !"
"Your Highness, don't be impatient," Qin Si smiled, "It's just a fight, Your Highness doesn't need to be angry, I'll just go."
Qin Si's words calmed King Liang a little, King Liang nodded: "Then you go."
Qin Si bowed his hands and backed away, and then walked out of the barracks. He walked down to the city tower, brushed his sleeves, and then shouted loudly: "You **** child who doesn't know how high the sky is, what nonsense? What are the eight ways! King Liang is the orthodox bloodline of the former Li family, and now he is recovering the country and the country, and he is in line with the times, but you have made him a chaotic thief. People, how can you be so slanderous!"
"I slandered?" Gu Jiusi laughed out loud, "Then tell me, King Liang's hometown of Jingzhou was taken down by Liu Xingzhi, and Dongdu was besieged by Master Fan. Going to Yangzhou in the south and not taking Jingzhou in the west, but going to Youzhou in the north, is it not for the exchange of the Great Wall of Youzhou and Beiliang or something? Do you really think that you are so rabble, you really can stop the general trend of the world and become one of your own The country will fail?! If you take Youzhou and don’t send it away, then you will be invaded by Beiliang in the north every autumn and winter, and you will be attacked by the domestic princes in the south. You are here to tell me, don’t take my advice, you will cost the boss What are you doing with the strength to come to Youzhou?!"
Dare to talk about state affairs here? Do you think that when you arrive in Youzhou, no one will know about your bad deeds in Yangzhou? If you are over 18 years old, you can only play cockfights and gamble for money. When you arrive at Wangwang, you will be a Phoenix? That kind of person Do you still believe what you say?"
When these words came out, Mu Nan got angry on the spot, he was about to drink, when Gu Jiusi grabbed his hand, Gu Jiusi laughed: "This bamboo spirit is weird, I know you? Do you know what I used to do? Gu Jiusi is clever, and I don't want to take the imperial examination because I am too lazy to take the exam. I, the county magistrate, was made a merit when I was in the yamen. Who doesn't know about it? I can now Standing here is also the fame I got after Gu Jiusi destroyed Heifengzhai and solved the food and wages of the displaced people in Wangdu, how can you call me a wine bag with a few words?"
Actually he didn't want to talk about this with Gu Jiusi, but what Gu Jiusi said really shook the military's heart too much, and what Gu Jiusi said was indeed the truth. , Now that he is in control, even if Qin Si's tongue is a lotus flower, it can't change the fact. Instead of entangled with the legitimacy of King Liang's raising of troops, it is better to entangle with the boring words of how Gu Jiusi became an official.
Gu Jiusi also knew what Qin Si meant, but he was just procrastinating, and he could procrastinate every day.
So the two of them studied each other's problems. Gu Jiusi has an excellent memory and reads quickly. In the past six months, he has been reading books almost whenever he has time, so he and Qin Si have tested each other for an afternoon. make it difficult for the opponent. After the night, both of them had a sore throat, so they stopped.
After Qin Si returned to the barracks, King Liang said solemnly: "I can't wait any longer, I'm afraid that this kid will have another move, sleep well tonight, and tomorrow, we will attack the city! "
Qin Si nodded and scolded for this day. He also deeply felt that Gu Jiusi was not an ordinary person, and in terms of time, he really couldn't delay it any longer.
Gu Jiusi got down from the tower and hurried to find Ye Shian.
Ye Shian heard Gu Jiusi looking for him, he ran up quickly, and then heard Gu Jiusi's hoarse voice: "Get ready, tonight, I'm going to take everyone out of the city to raid."
"Out of town raid?!"
Ye Shian was stunned, the phrase "you're crazy" almost blurted out, but thinking of King Liang's withdrawal from the army before, he was suppressed and discouraged: "Jiusi, we should be fine. Defend the city and don't take risks."
"They will attack the city tomorrow." Gu Jiusi said hoarsely, "Tonight they will not be prepared, let's attack them first, their army is in chaos now, if we attack like this, they may instead retreat. "
Gu Jiusi raised his eyes and looked at Ye Shian: "Otherwise, when King Liang's army attacks the city, we will collapse first."
Ye Shian was stunned, and after a while, he understood what Gu Jiusi meant. They have been surviving by chance. If they don't take the sword, how can there be any chance of winning?
Ye Shian was silent for a moment, and finally said, "I'll prepare."
After speaking, Ye Shian turned and left.
Gu Jiusi went home for dinner and said goodbye to Liu Yuru.
When he left, he kept looking at Liu Yuru, the armor that Liu Yuru put on him personally, she seemed to know nothing about everything, completely believed him, and said softly: "Lang Jun used to write quite a lot. Handsome, in uniform today, he is also very handsome."
Gu Jiusi looked at her seriously, Liu Yuru looked calm, she lowered her head and tied the amulet around his waist, whispering: "Don't be impulsive."
"I know."
Gu Jiusi laughed: "I know what I know, you have a good night's sleep, everything will be fine. Oh, don't be afraid when you hear the sound of war drums at night, I scare King Liang."
"Yes." Liu Yuru nodded. She took Gu Jiusi out of the door, and when she got to the door, she watched him get on the horse. She always had a smile on her face, her expression was calm, Gu Jiusi thought she didn't notice it, and when she hit the horse and left, she didn't look back.
If he turned his head, he would see Liu Yuru's suddenly lost smile and suddenly bent spine, next to Yinhong who supported Liu Yuru and whispered, "Madam!"
"I'm fine." Liu Yuru waved her hand, and after a while, she said, "Clean up the Buddhist hall, I will go to the Buddhist hall tonight."
When people are powerless about one thing, they often can only pin their hopes on gods and Buddhas.
Actually, she knew Gu Jiusi too well. With Gu Jiusi's current appearance, she knew that he had big moves. But if he didn't say it, she naturally wouldn't ask. She could guess it, and what he would hide from her was nothing more than planning to go to the battlefield.
She was afraid that he would be worried, so she didn't ask more questions, let people sweep the Buddhist hall, and knelt in front of the hall herself.
She never believed in gods and Buddhas, but at this moment she suddenly transformed into a good man and a woman, begging for the blessing and mercy of the Bodhisattva, and let that person return safely.
Gu Jiusi went back to the tower, he ordered tonight's plan, and then went to sleep.
On King Liang's side, he is also ready to attack on the second day, so everyone can rest well. It was only at night, not long after everyone woke up, that they heard the thunder of the drums of war.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The army of King Liang suddenly became chaotic. Everyone woke up from their sleep, put on their armor and picked up their weapons, and rushed out of the barracks to form an array, but they found that the wilderness was vast and no one was seen. .
Everyone cursed and went back to sleep.
After another hour, everyone woke up, and the sound of war drums came from outside!
There was a lot of scolding at the door, but after a while, a group of people scolded and ignored them, and they were sleepy again. This time they fell asleep, and many soldiers sneered: "Those soldiers in Youzhou only know these tricks."
"Next time you knock and shout, and don't ignore them!"
A group of people discussed indignantly, and then fell asleep.
At this time, it was the darkest time of the night. In the firewood house in Huarong's backyard, Wang Mei bit the rope tied by the man's hand one by one.
There was blood in her mouth, but she still didn't stop. This is Qian San, who has been her friend for more than ten years. He still had a murder case on his back, and was caught by Gu Jiusi this time, and Gu Jiusi didn't have time to try it, but when the matter was over, neither she nor Qian San could escape.
She broke a tooth and finally bit the rope. As soon as Qian San's rope was untied, she immediately found a bowl from the side, smashed it, and cut open the rope, and then led her to open the door secretly.
At this time, everyone was asleep, and Huarong was very quiet. Aunt Wang and Qian San sneaked out of Huarong, and then ran wildly in the direction of the city gate.
They just heard the sound of the war drums, and the sound of the war drums is about to fight, and when the war is over, the city gates will be opened!
This is their only chance, even if the battlefield is dangerous, it is their only chance to leave Wangdu.
The two of them ran not far from the city gate, watching the soldiers coming and going at the city gate, they dared not show their faces, and hid in the alley and watched secretly.
Wang Mei and Qian San were leaning against each other, it was a little cold, Wang Mei said hoarsely: "You put money in the bank, right?"
"Yes," Qian San said in a low voice, "Let's go to Cangzhou and take the money out of Wangdu. I'll find a way to change my identity and keep my name incognito from now on."
Wang Mei was a little tired, she didn't speak. But Qian San's words became her only hope, and she sat with him on the steps, waiting for the city gate to reopen.
In fact, they don't know if they will open again, but if they don't, they don't know where to go. They waited for a long time, the morning star lit up, and the war drum sounded again!
This time, after the sound of the war drums, the door slowly opened, and the soldiers rode their horses, holding knives, and rushed towards the outside.
They move very little, quietly and without any sound.
And King Liang's army was shouted again, everyone was dissatisfied, and many people dragged and refused to get up, thinking that this must be another joke.
"They just don't want us to sleep," someone said, dissatisfied, "Why do we get up again and again like this, it's a trick!"
Many people think so, so this gathering is extra difficult. However, when King Liang was still gathering his troops, the ground suddenly shook.
This time everyone finally realized that there was a problem, but when they reacted, they saw a large group of black cavalry wielding long knives and slashing towards them!
In the dark night, everything is unclear. I don't know how many people there are, and I don't know what the other party is like. I can only run around in the dark.
Gu Jiusi took advantage of the victory to pursue, taking advantage of the fact that these people were still in a panic, and slashed all the way.
The blood stained his eyes red, and there were swords and swords around him, but he felt that he was not afraid at all.
Bringing a spear, he galloped across the battlefield.
Liang Wang didn't fall asleep long after the snare drum sounded, he kept thinking and hesitating.
Do I have to remove Wangducheng?
This is the capital of Youzhou, it is best to take it down. What is the most important thing in Keyouzhou? It's the Great Wall. As long as you can get the Great Wall, do you want to look at the capital? Does it make so much sense?
King Liang tried his best to find a reason not to attack Wangdu, completely forgetting why he came to Wangdu in the first place.
He just felt that Wangdu was too unpredictable. He was afraid that there would be an ambush ahead, and now he can only retreat.
Qin Si saw King Liang's hesitation, and he cautiously said: "Is the king afraid of an ambush in the city?"
"Mr. Qin," Liang Wang sighed, "I can't afford to lose."
When Qin Si heard this, he was silent for a moment, then nodded and said calmly: "I understand, it's just the prince, now it's the last moment, if you don't take Wangdu, are you willing? "
Liang Wangwan pursed his lips, how could he be willing? He took a deep breath and finally said, "As Mr. said."
As soon as I finished speaking, there was chaos outside. Then I heard a loud shout, and one person rode a horse and carried a gun, and rushed directly into the tent, approaching King Liang!
The surrounding was in a panic, Qin Si protected King Liang, and shouted: "Come here! Protect Your Highness!"
The surrounding soldiers were in chaos, many people stopped Gu Jiusi, Liang Wang and Qin Si were escorted by nurses to the outside of the account. The outside of the tent was already **** on earth, and the lights were all slashing and killing. King Liang stood in this camp, and he couldn't tell how many people there were. He only felt that he was surrounded by Gu Jiusi's people, and everything was dead. On the eve! Everyone was running, and no one listened to him. He panicked for a while, got on his horse, and shouted: "Go! Go first!"
King Liang beat the horse very fast, Qin Si followed closely, he knew that after King Liang faced life and death directly, it would be difficult for him to move this person again.
He could only follow, listening to King Liang's analysis: "There must be a lot of people in ambush in his city, Fan Xuan knows I'm coming, how can I not prepare for nothing? We don't want it anymore, Let's go to the next place!"
Qin Si did not speak, he felt inappropriate.
The screams of killing from behind were so loud that Gu Jiusi chased after them, as if they must die to quell the battle.
So they ran and chased one after another, while Wang Mei and Qian San took advantage of the chaos and quietly knocked out a soldier, then hurriedly escaped from the city gate with the other party's letter.
When they got out of the city gate, they found that there were slashes and blood everywhere, and they panicked and moved hand in hand in the battlefield, afraid of what would happen.
Wait for the night to pass, and the day dawned, Gu Jiusi finally gave the order to retreat. King Liang ran all the way and saw that Gu Jiusi was not chasing after him, so he took a breath. He turned around and found that there were about ordinary people still following him.
When King Liang saw that there was no one in the four fields, he felt more at ease and decided to set up camp. Gu Jiusi led the people back to Wangdu City. As soon as he entered the city, he saw everyone looking at him.
They seem to want to compliment him, but there are no good words. He could only look at him with hope, Gu Jiusi smiled and said to everyone, "Don't worry, they're gone."
Speaking, he put down his spear and said peacefully with everyone: "Do what you need to do, don't delay."
!
Ye Shian organized everyone to carry the wounded down. Gu Jiusi glanced at the wounded and sighed: "It's good to go, if we come back again, we don't know what to do."
Ye Shian nodded and replied, "It's okay."
At this time, Wang Mei and Qian San supported each other and walked forward. Qian San suddenly stopped and asked cautiously, "Is that the camp of King Liang?"
Wang Mei was stunned for a while, and after a while, she glanced at the flying flag with the character "Liang" and nodded. Qian San gritted his teeth, but said, "King Liang is right here, Amei, wait for me here, I'll come when I go."
"You...what are you going to do!" Wang Mei was a little scared, Qian San patted her hand and said gently: "Don't worry, I'm going to eat, and there is no conflict. "
Wang Mei couldn't believe it, but Qian San was determined and didn't care about Wang Mei's thoughts at all, and ran all the way in the direction of King Liang, anxiously said with the defenders: "Quick, quick. Help me report to King Liang, I have important information to tell him! I beg him to summon the villain!"
Liang Wang originally did not intend to meet such a person, but when he heard that Qian San had escaped from the city, he asked someone to bring it over.
Qian San restrained his excitement, and after bowing to King Liang, he raised his head and said with King Liang, "Your Highness, the villain is here to share his worries for the king."
"How?"
"Your Majesty probably doesn't know, how many people are there in the city?"
Hearing this, King Liang suddenly raised his head, Qian San smiled lightly: "Unfortunately, I know, no more, no less, just ten thousand."
