The city of Aru has long been blocked, and the Tatar iron cavalry cannot rush in, how did this person appear here? It would be understandable if he had been in the city for a long time, but how did he get the latest instructions from the Loyal Father? Could it be that Hai Dongqing reported the news, but he didn't see a bird entering the city, how to report the news.

Whether it was Ning Wenfeng or Shi Wanshan, they naturally didn't know that there was a telegraph in the world, and the two didn't need to meet at all, they could indeed communicate with each other, and they were not even affected by distance. Naturally, Yu Can has no obligation to tell them all this, he can even think of the other party's doubts, but his duty is not to explain this, but just to pass on the message.

Yu Can, the head of the security bureau stationed in Talu City, is usually responsible for collecting information in the city, and forwards it to Director Feng Liang of Shicheng on time. I thought he would always be a dark worker, but today's telegram forced him to reveal his identity. That is, the sixth young master personally called and asked him to go to the yamen of the city lord's mansion to spread a word.

The sixth young master has an order, and he doesn't dare to disobey. Yu Can came, and he still appeared here generously. He knew that perhaps only by doing so could he dispel the concerns of the two generals and get things done satisfactorily.

Ning Wenfeng's words were obviously a temptation, but Yu Can still replied with a smile: "What is the good tea in the Zhongdan Gong, and the little ones don't have a chance to drink it." But if you doubt my identity because of this, you can arrest me as a liar. ”

Such a straightforward answer made Ning Wenfeng show a trace of embarrassment on his face at the moment, and he didn't know how to answer. After all, at this time, there is really no benefit in pretending to be a loyal and courageous person.

However, Shi Wanshan, who was already impatient on the side, saw that the conversation was about to reach an impasse, and he finally spoke: "Mr. Yu said that he came on the order of the loyal and courageous prince, I don't know what to teach me?" ”

"The commander has come to the lord, and the little one has come at the behest of the loyal and courageous prince, and there is indeed something to explain. According to the will of the loyal and courageous public, if the city of Dalu cannot be defended, there is no need to defend it, and it is necessary to retreat to the city of Xuanfu, and then you can accumulate strength to defend it..."

Yu Canzhifang was only halfway through what he said, and Ning Wenfeng had already interrupted him, "Why can't Lu Cheng hold it." Besides, we are waiting to eat the court's money, and now that the court has not issued an order, how can we leave our duties without permission, Mr. Yu, do you know that based on what you just said, you are already committing a crime? ”

Don't blame Ning Wenfeng for being angry. Yang Chendong may not care too much about whether Lu City is lost or not, but as a general defending the city, he will have a lot to do with it, and if he doesn't do it well, he will be ruined, and it is not impossible to even be beheaded in prison. When it comes to his own life, how can he not be in a hurry.

After Ning Wenfeng said this, Yu Can closed his mouth, first shook his head, and then tasted tea. I was not intimidated by the other party's criminal words.

Yu Can's composure fell in the eyes of Shi Wanshan on the side, and he couldn't help but light up. This man is so calm, either he has a body to rely on, or he has put life and death out of the way, but no matter what it is, he believes that no one will come to die in vain. At that moment, he suppressed Ning Wenfeng, who was still angry, and then looked at Yu Can with a smile and said, "Mr. Yu, you should still have something to say, this commander is willing to listen." Shi Wanshan said this, Ning Wenfeng could only suppress the anger in his heart, and then stared at Yu Can fiercely, he wanted to see what this person had to say next, if he was talking nonsense, he would take it first regardless of whether the other party was really a loyal person or not.

Yu Can slowly put down the teacup, looked at Shi Wanshan, and said word by word: "The loyal and courageous prince said, Alu City can be abandoned, and Xuancheng cannot be abandoned." As long as the commander guards the Xuanfu and does not allow the Tatar army to advance a single step, then in a maximum of one to two months, the city of Talu will return to the hands of the general. ”

"Oh?" Shi Wanshan's face was stunned, he had long known that there was a follow-up, but he didn't expect it to be such a result. As his thoughts flickered, he seemed to think of something, "Is the Loyal Brave Duke going to deal with the Tatar Iron Horse?" ”

"What? Didn't the loyal and courageous prince send troops earlier? Yu Can smiled.

"Sending troops is sending troops, but you don't know it by showing it." Ning Wenfeng, who was on the side, finally had a chance to interject. At this moment, he didn't know why, the more calm Yu Can was, the more he looked at him unpleasantly, when he came to his own territory, his life was in his own hands, and he could be as stable as Mount Tai, which was really infuriating.

Yu Can seemed to be used to Ning Wenfeng's provocation, and did not answer his question, but continued to say calmly: "I came to deliver the news with the words of loyalty and courage, as for whether you believe it or not, that's my question." Of course, you can also arrest me, or even torture me, and I can't guarantee that I can keep the secret in my heart. But in this way, it will delay the time for the two generals to make a choice. ”

After laying everything out on the bright side, Yu Can continued to drink tea without saying a word, like a thirsty person looking at nectar.

This attitude is completely putting life and death out of the way. Often such people are not easy to bow their heads, and even if they are arrested and punished, they will not be able to achieve results in a short period of time. And Shi Wanshan doesn't have much time now, if he makes a wrong step, he will have no chance to turn over.

"Mr. Yu, I don't know if there are any tokens to prove your identity?" Shi Wanshan still asked without giving up.

"Nope." Yu Can replied very happily. Then he added, "The city of Aru has been closed, where did I get the token?" ”

"Without a token, where did you get the news?" Feeling that he had seized the other party's loophole again, Ning Wenfeng interjected again.

"It's not bothering the generals, in short, what I said is the truth, believe it or not, the two generals think about it themselves." Yu Can categorically would not say anything about the telegram, this is still a secret to other forces, of course, the longer it is hidden, the more advantageous it will be.

Yu Can, who didn't get in with oil and salt, suddenly gave Ning Wenfeng a feeling that he had nowhere to go under the knife. At that moment, he looked at Shi Wanshan's body, obviously to command the envoy to call the shots.

Shi Wanshan frowned, Yu Can's appearance was too unexpected, he couldn't make any decisions for a while, he still needed more time to think about it. Then he slowly raised his head, "Mr. Yu, thank you for informing me, in this way, can I make a decision after thinking about it?" Now please go back and rest. ”

"Okay, you don't need to notify the grass people of the results of your consideration, your decision will not be known to the world in a short time." Yu Can knew that the task was completed and that it was useless to stay, so he stood up, nodded to the two generals, and turned to leave.

Outside the door, when the waiting soldiers were escorting Yu Can away, they saw the gesture in Shi Wanshan's eyes, and immediately lightly bowed their foreheads to show that they understood what they meant.

As soon as Yu Can left, Ning Wenfeng ignored everything else and said anxiously, "Commander, you don't really believe that he is a person sent by the Loyal Father, right?" He didn't have anything to prove himself. ”

"If you can't get out, where is the proof?" Shi Wanshan asked rhetorically, and said, "At this moment, do we have any other way to choose?" ”

"But... But why did the Loyal Father do this? Ning Wenfeng was speechless, so he asked in a different way.

"Didn't you say that the loyal duke wants this supply route, and that's why." Shi Wanshan suddenly got up, as if he was convincing himself, or maybe he had already made a decision in his heart.

Yu Can left the City Lord's Mansion and returned to his small courtyard, and soon turned off the lights and went to sleep. The soldiers sent to follow him did not find anything wrong, so he had to send someone else to continue to guard, and he rushed back to report the situation. In this regard, Shi Wanshan had already prepared, even if Yu Can dared to show up, he would naturally take care of everything first.

He knew that it was impossible to find the answer from Yu Can. It's just that Shi Wanshan won't think about letting him go, once he leaves Dalu City, he will take this person away, if he is not sent by the Loyal Courage, then he will definitely take his life before he dies.

That is, from the beginning of this night, the Northern Ming army was ready to retreat, and the carriages transporting grain and grass to and from Xuanfu were constantly coming and going, and three days later, Shi Wanshan, who had been guarding very hard, was finally ready to leave the city when the night came. In order to prevent being discovered by the Tatar army, he also left two hundred houses and let them keep walking around the castle tower with torches, giving people the illusion that the army was still there.

Shi Wanshan finally decided to believe Yu Can's words and withdrew from Dalu City. And just when he and Song Wenfeng came out of the City Lord's Mansion, in front of the main gate, Yu Can, who was already carrying a package, was already waiting here. Obviously, he also knew that the other party would not leave him here, so it was better to take the initiative and leave with them.

Yu Can knew him like this, Shi Wanshan, who hadn't planned to turn his face, walked over with a smile, "What does Mr. Yu mean, do you want to leave with us?" ”

"There is no longer the Northern Ming army and people in the city, and Chan has no value in staying here, so he has to trouble the commander." Yu Can stood there, smiling, looking like he had run out of sight.

"Hehe, okay. Come, prepare a batch of good horses for Mr. Yu, and leave the city with us. Shi Wanshan laughed. Regardless of whether this Yu Can is a loyal and courageous person, he already appreciates it very much with this courage.

In the darkness of the night, the torches stretched out, and the Northern Ming army retreated to the city of Talu, leaving behind an empty ancient city without any resources.
