Outside the east gate of Yangwu City, thousands of officers and soldiers had already assembled on the battlefield, preparing to launch a counterattack against the bandits who were huddled in the Bolang Shachi Road.

For two days, the defenders of the city were well rested. When the bandits did not attack the city again, but all retreated into the Bolangsha Chi Road, at first Wei Dakui, Zhao Youji and others thought it was their trick. I thought that the other party wanted to take advantage of our own slack and suddenly launch a siege. But soon, they understood. The other party had no intention of attacking the city, and the purpose of their stay in Bolangsha was to encircle and suppress Lin Jue and other hundreds of cavalry who were forced into Bolangsha.

After the results of the soldiers' continuous reconnaissance confirmed this judgment, Wei Dakui and Zhao Youji had a dispute. What Wei Dakui meant was that he had to find a way to rescue Lin Jue and the others. Lord Lin attacked the camp with hundreds of cavalry in order to defend the city and contained the enemy's siege operations, which played a key role. Now the bandits are about to withdraw, but they obviously want to exterminate Lin Jue and the others before leaving. If you don't want to rescue at this time, it's unreasonable.

Therefore, Wei Dakui's idea was to take the initiative to lead the defenders out of the city to fight and attract the sect members to turn back, so that they could draw their attention to the city and let Lord Lin and them get out. But this idea was strongly opposed by Zhao Youji.

Zhao Youji put forward two reasons. First, defending the city is a top priority. The reason why Lord Lin went out of the city to attack the camp and harass was precisely to prevent the other party from attacking the city. The reason why they hated Lord Lin was that Lin Jue would lead the cavalry to harass and kill people behind the flanks during the siege of the city. Therefore, if you send troops out of the city to rescue, you will put the defenders and the city in danger. This is also what Lord Lin does not want to see.

Second, the safety of His Royal Highness King Jin must be guaranteed. Once the city is broken, His Royal Highness the King of Jin will be in danger. This is absolutely inadmissible. If the general who quells the rebellion has three longs and two shortcomings, it will be a great shame for the imperial court, and it will make the cult and bandits arrogant even higher.

These two reasons made Wei Dakui unable to refute. It is true that both of the two reasons are more important than Lin Jue's life. rashly led the army out of the city, and if there was a slight mistake, all the previous efforts were lost.

But Wei Dakui always couldn't bear it in his heart, he found that he now had great admiration for Lin Jue, and he didn't want Lin Jue to die in Bolangsha. He wanted to save Lin Jue, because it was Lin Jue who reversed the situation that was already facing a total collapse. If you don't do anything at the moment, it seems to be unfair to Lin Jue, and it is too unconscionable. Wei Dakui put forward the suggestion that he should only lead a small number of soldiers and horses to fulfill his obligation to save people, but Zhao Youji still gave it back.

"Do you think you're Lord Lin? Do you have his talent and courage? You go just to die. Zhao Youji was not merciless at all when he spoke.

Wei Dakui couldn't hold back his face, and replied to him: "I at least want to save Lord Lin, what about you?" said that he admired and worshipped, and begged for Mobao. But when it came to life and death, you didn't even say anything about saving Lord Lin. Are you scholars like this? ”

Zhao Youji stared at Wei Dakui with a pale face. The expression was a little hideous. After a while, he said softly: "Wei Dutou, act with the overall situation in mind, and consider the overall situation, rather than acting emotionally. How do you know my admiration for Lord Lin? Since you said such a thing, I might as well tell you what I think. I have already made a decision, if Lord Lin has three long and two short this time, I, Zhao Youji, will judge myself to Xie Linda

Person. I, Zhao Youji, swear to the sky, if I violate this word, heaven and earth will hate it. You Wei Dutou is a witness. Wei Dutou, I want to save Lord Lin more than you, but the situation doesn't allow it. ”

Wei Dakui was extremely shocked, he never expected Zhao Youji to make such a poisonous oath. He had already prepared for it. I misunderstood Zhao Youji, and Zhao County Ling is not a hypocritical person. Think about it yourself, although you admire Lin Jue very much, if Lin Jue is really besieged and killed by the bandits this time, she may feel bitter and regretful, but she will definitely not commit suicide to thank you. Wei Dakui's view of literati was further reversed. It turns out that they are not all powerless, and they are full of mouths, saying some sour and rotten poems and articles that make people get goosebumps, and they are all backbone and strong emotions. Even more direct and fierce than those warriors.

Wei Dakui had nothing to say, he had to admit that Zhao Youji's arrangement was correct, and he should defend the city with all his strength right now, just in case, instead of risking his life to save people. Only when reinforcements arrive can they go to the rescue.

For two days, the soldiers defending the city were on guard, and rolling wood and stones were piled up on the city walls. He even improvised thousands of arrows to defend with all his might. Although Guo Mian, the king of Jin, asked several times to evacuate Yangwu, he finally stayed under the persistent persuasion of Zhao Youji and Wei Dakui. He also went up to the city to inspect and meet with the soldiers and people who defended the city, which greatly boosted morale.

At noon on the third day, the long-awaited reinforcements finally arrived. Guo Kun led 700 cavalry of the forbidden army and 200 guards of the palace, a total of 900 horsemen, from Nancheng to Yangwu County.

After receiving a call for help from Yangwu County, Guo Kun realized that his judgment had been wrong, and immediately ordered the army to turn around and rush to Yangwu County, and he himself led 900 horsemen to come first.

On the way, Guo Kun was extremely remorseful, regretting that he should not have listened to Lin Jue's advice, and was deceived by the bandits into going to Fengqiu. Along the way, he was worried that the city would be lost by the time he arrived in Yangwu County. Because under the attack of tens of thousands of bandits, Yangwu County could not defend it at all. As soon as Yangwu was lost, the situation changed greatly, as Lin Jue said, the passage to the west was opened, which would be a major mistake. He was also worried about the safety of King Jin. If the King of Jin dies in Yangwu County, then his life will be lost. Because it's your own mistake.

He was also worried that Lin Jue would die in Yangwu. Although his brother-in-law has always been a little disdainful of him, he is his brother-in-law. Cai Wei just gave birth to a son, Lin Juegang became a father, and he insisted on asking the emperor to let him come with him to quell the rebellion, if he died, all the responsibility would be on himself. I'm afraid my sister will hate herself to death.

In short, along the way, Guo Kun was anxious, annoyed and regretted. When he led the cavalry to arrive outside the county seat of Yangwu County, he was so excited that he cried when he saw that the city was intact and the Qinglong Flag on the city gate was waving in the wind. All the worries disappeared cleanly, and Yangwu County was not lost, which is simply a miracle.

But in the hall of the county government, after he heard the report of Wei Dakui and others, he was angry again.

……

"Bang dang!" The sound of the tea cup shattering sounded in the hall of the Yangwu County Ya, and Guo Kun, who was pale, stood beside the desk, pointed at Wei Dakui and Zhao Youji's noses and began to curse.

"Bastard thing, Zhao Youji, Wei Dakui. One of you is the commander of Yangwu County, and the other is the head of the horse army who is guarding the forbidden army. When you attack the camp, you want Lin Jue to study

People go to lead people to attack the camp? That's fine. Now that Lin Jue has fallen into Bolangsha for two days and two nights, you don't go to the rescue, and you are still embarrassed to stay in the city as a shrunken turtle? Are you not ashamed? Especially you, Wei Dakui, do you still have eggs? Are you a man? I'm ashamed of you, and you've brought shame on the faces of my entire Forbidden Brother of the Infantry Division. ”

"......" Zhao Youji and Wei Dakui were speechless. Although there are many twists and turns in this, arguing at this moment will only add fuel to the fire.

"Immediately send an order, all soldiers and horses go out of the city to meet the enemy, be sure to repel the bandits, and rescue Lin Jue." Guo Kun shouted loudly.

"All of them are waiting for the wind and dust to come, and the men and horses are tired and need to rest. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to attack now. Zhao Youji hurriedly shouted.

"Wrong? Is it appropriate to wait until Lin Jue dies at the hands of the bandits? Zhao Youji, let me tell you, if Lin Jue has three longs and two shorts, you can't get rid of it. Guo Kun scolded angrily.

Zhao Youji said with a pale face: "Xia Guan understands Du Yuhou's mood, but Du Yuhou must not forget that the safety of the city is far more important than a person's life and death. It's not that we don't want to save Lord Lin, but we want to make sure that the city is not lost, which is the overall situation. Lord Lin risked his life in order to protect Yangwu City, and the whole city admired him. If we had attacked rashly before, the soldiers and horses in the city would not have been able to make any achievements at all, and the safety of the city would have been endangered. Since Du Yuhou has arrived with the army, he must save people, but let the officials make some preparations. The lower officials will gather more than 1,000 young and strong people, plus the staff of our regiment in the city to train the officials, and accompany Du Yuhou out of the city to kill the enemy. The lower officials will prove to Du Yuhou that the lower officials are not greedy for life and afraid of death, and the lower officials will rush to the front. If Lord Lin has three longs and two shorts, the lower officials will compensate each other with their lives. I implore Du Yuhou to give the subordinate a chance, give the subordinate a little time, and at the same time let the cavalry brothers drink saliva and rest, and the horses eat a mouthful of forage. It will be of great benefit to the war. ”

When Zhao Youji said this, Guo Kun had nothing to say. He was indeed very similar to rescuing Lin Jue immediately, but he came day and night, and the people and horses were tired and needed to rest urgently. A rash attack may not lead to good results. And the number of soldiers and horses is not right, 900 cavalry plus less than 500 forbidden army infantry who can fight, this more than 1,000 people have to face more than 10,000 bandits, Guo Kun really has no bottom in his heart.

"Well, if you say so, I can't help but give you face. I don't need your manpower, but I can't help but give you a chance. My men and horses don't need to rest, but it takes time for you to gather your men and prepare. I'll give you an hour, and after noon, you must go to battle. Zhao Youji, if I say something you don't like to hear, your life can't be compared with Lin Jue. You say you lost your life, but your life isn't worth anything. Lin Jue was specially approved by the emperor Although I went out to plan to quell the rebellion, he is the champion of my Great Zhou, you can't compare with him. It's better he's safe and sound, otherwise your head will have to move. You'd better not be scheming. ”

Zhao Youji listened to this, not to mention how uncomfortable he was. But he is not a person who likes to argue, and said in a deep voice: "What Du Yu is waiting for to teach is that the lower officials have been taught." ”

Zhao Youji immediately retired to prepare for the war. Wei Dakui also asked to visit the cavalry soldiers who came in the dust and prepared to attack. Guo Kun nodded in agreement. After both of them left, only Guo Mian and Guo Kun were left in the yamen hall. Guo Mian never had a chance to speak, and at this time he could finally say a few words to Guo Kun.
