Chapter 912: Soldiers Descend on the City
Lin Jue thought for a while and said, "That's it, if Commander Wu really thinks so, then let's think of a way." Commander Wu may be able to find a way to get the great seal of Governor Liu's mansion, even if it is ...... It's okay to forge a document requesting rescue. We will send troops to help immediately. But I don't know if you're willing to do it. ”
Wu Yongbo was stunned and said: "Forgery of official documents? It's a capital offense. Besides, the prefect's seal may be able to get his hands on it, but how can the handwriting of the prefect Liu be forged? I don't have the skills. ”
Lin Jue pondered for a moment and said, "Indeed, I took it for granted, this plan will not work." However, if Commander Wu thinks that my words have some credibility, we might as well work harder. I will stay in Xingren Mansion tonight, and after dark, Commander Wu will come to pick me up and enter the city, and tonight we will go to Governor Liu to persuade him again, maybe Governor Liu will change his mind. If it still doesn't work, we're thinking of other ways. In short, for the safety of Heungin Mansion and for the overall situation of quelling the rebellion, we must do our best. What do you think of Commander Wu? ”
Wu Yongbo thought for a while and nodded: "Just listen to Lord Lin, you still have to persuade." Maybe Lord Lin will tell Governor Liu what he said to me, and he will change his mind. Lord Liu...... People are still good, it's just ...... Some of them are stubborn and self-serving. ”
Lin Jue nodded and said, "That's right, then let's make a decision, after the sun sets, I'll come back." Leave. ”
The two said goodbye, Wu Yongbo got on the horse and left, and Lin Jue also returned to the team. The team moved forward and walked along the avenue towards Wanting, and after traveling more than ten miles, Lin Juelema stopped.
"Uncle, I have to go back to Xingren Mansion." Lin Juedao.
"Go back? What do you want to do when you go back? Haven't you been angry with that Liu Mengyuan? This guy is already determined to wait for Guo Xu to save him, what are you going to do when you go back? Let's go back and reconsider the countermeasures, where to re-resist and stop the westward advance of the bandits. I'm dying, we're running out of time. Guo Kun said anxiously.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Uncle, don't worry, after you return to Wanting, prepare for the deployment of the army, and go to Xingren Mansion tonight to prepare for tomorrow's defense of the city." ”
Guo Kun was stunned and said, "How can you say this?" Then Liu Mengyuan didn't say that he wanted to ask us for help, nor did he agree to let us march into Xingren Mansion to defend the city. Could it be that the commander of Wu told you that Liu Mengyuan changed his course? ”
Lin Jue shook his head and said, "That's not true, but I went back to persuade Governor Liu again, and I believe I can convince him." The eldest brother is ready and waits for the official document. ”
Guo Kun was even more surprised: "Can you convince him?" Then why didn't you convince him? Isn't that a joke? That guy has a bad and stubborn attitude, and I don't believe you can convince him. Don't waste your efforts. Tell me to go back and figure out how we can take the next step. This Xingren Mansion will be broken in a few days, and we can't afford to waste time. ”
Lin Jue smiled and said, "Doesn't my uncle believe me?" If I say I can convince him, I will be able to convince him. When have I spoken big in front of you? Trust me and do what I say. Go back and prepare the army to prepare for the march, even if it is a battle to defend the city, it will be a vicious battle, and we must do more mobilization and encouragement. ”
Guo Kun was even more puzzled in his heart, he didn't know why Lin Jue was so confident that he could convince Liu Mengyuan that he had already said nothing today, what else could he do? However, his brother-in-law can't be speculated by common sense, and his methods are not unseen. Whether it succeeds or not, it doesn't matter if you try it once, if you really convince Liu Mengyuan, wouldn't it be a great thing. Otherwise, the plan to use Heungin as a place to be defended will not be realized
Yes, the army must retreat immediately. And the five counties in Jingbei have nothing to resist, is it possible to retreat all the way to the west, retreat to Bolangsha, Yangwu County, and then fail to defend it? That would be to give up all the five counties, and it would definitely cause some trouble.
"Well, in that case, then you can go and try again. If Liu Mengyuan still doesn't listen, you should come back quickly, don't waste saliva with him. I still need to talk to you about my next steps, but I can't afford to delay. Guo Kun nodded.
At that moment, Lin Jue only took Bai Bing and Sun Dayong and other five or six people with him, turned his horse's head and walked back. When I rushed back to Xingren Mansion, the sun had already set in the west, and the sky was already twilight. Lin Jue and the others found a secret place to rest and wait for dark.
……
Outside the east gate of Xingren Mansion, after the arrival of the first wave of bandits, it took a whole day for the bandits to arrive in an endless stream to the east of the city. When it was dark, in the sound of drums, the black flag was unfurled, and the black star and moon banner representing the presence of the Holy Father was erected on the battlefield outside the city. That was a sign that the Holy Duke of the Qing Sect, Hai Dongqing, had arrived on the battlefield.
The whole city was in a commotion, except for the Church Protectors, the rest of the Holy Elder Order, the Holy Spirit Regiment, and the Holy Women's Regiment were all ordinary congregation, groups composed of the old, weak, women and children. Although it was formed, it was actually very loose at all. After the long journey, the elderly, children, women and children were tired enough, and one by one they sat on the ground panting, and the scene was chaotic.
But the Qingjiao has its own means to quickly restore the spirit of the congregation, and that is to pray and bow. With the presence of the Holy Father, the passionate singing sounded, and more than 100 white-robed saints of the general altar sang the song of the Holy Father. The song quickly resounded through the city.
"The Holy Father is the greatest, Ze is the heaven and the earth, kill all the evil demons, and the Holy Religion is respected."
"The Holy Father is great, and Ze is in the sky. Our people have been blessed together. ”
"The Holy Father is the greatest, and Ze is the universe. The heavenly soldiers of the temple all respect the order. ”
"The Holy Father is great, and heaven and earth live together. The believer lives forever, and the traitor perishes. Divine power protects the body, invulnerability, fire and poison, and the body of King Kong. The Holy Father is great, Ahuala is Kebaba, Ahu Akbaba is yelling......"
The saints are all carefully selected daughters of beautiful sectarians, dressed in white robes to cover their heads, faces and figures, but they still look graceful and intriguing. Their voices are beautiful and cool, as if they are really like saints coming down from the Cloud Palace, which is impressive.
In this set of songs, all the congregants pouted their buttocks and knelt on the ground, silently chanted the Majesty of God, prostrated sincerely, and prayed faithfully. It was as if all the fatigue and hardship, worry and fear had vanished at this moment.
……
On the city wall, Liu Mengyuan, the prefect of Xingren Mansion, and nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses guarding the city and the people at the head of the city witnessed such a scene. Many people have goosebumps all over their bodies, feel chills on their bodies, and hairy in their hearts. It's not because of the boundless crowd of bandits under the city, but because of this weird scene, which gives people a sense of fear that the demons are dancing around.
The other party began to camp under the city, it seemed that it was unlikely to launch an attack tonight, Liu Mengyuan decided to go back to the mansion to take a bath, eat something, and rest for a while. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the next high-intensity battle. And after witnessing the surging bandits under the city, he felt that he should write to King Huai for help again, because he felt that he might not be able to last two days, and King Huai's army must arrive as soon as possible, otherwise Xingren Mansion might not be able to hold it.
After instructing the defenders of the city to pay close attention to the movements of the enemy troops under the city, and immediately reported the situation, Liu Mengyuan went down the city wall and returned to the back house of the palace. Mrs. Zhao saw her husband return
Come, busily serve him to bathe and change clothes, and cook a delicious meal. Liu Mengyuan called a pair of children to accompany him to dinner, and then went into the study and began to write letters.
It was already dark, and Liu Mengyuan was writing hard under the lamp in the study. On this letter, Liu Mengyuan almost begged King Huai to quickly lead a large army to help, and he wrote down the situation he saw in the city in the evening, the fear reaction of the soldiers and civilians in the city, and even the worries in his own heart, and asked Guo Xu to send troops to rescue him quickly, otherwise Xingren Mansion was afraid that it would really not be able to hold it.
Of course, Liu Mengyuan did not forget to report to Guo Xu about Guo Kun and Lin Jue's arrival today, and he told Guo Xu that he would definitely be loyal to King Huai, would not ask for help from the army of King Jin, and would never let them take great credit for quelling the rebellion. He Liu Mengyuan is not a person who steps on two boats, he will fully support King Huai and be loyal. These words are not only allegiance, but also imply threats and urges. The implication is: I even refused, and I even refused to take the initiative to come to the aid of King Jin's army, and I am loyal enough to you. If you don't save you in time, you've failed my loyalty to you. I can go and ask the army of King Jin to come to the rescue at any time.
Finally, the letter was finished, and after Liu Mengyuan wrote the words 'Liu Mengyuan bowed his head' at the end of the letter, he let out a long sigh and put down the brush. He read the letter carefully, and with satisfaction laid the letterhead in the corner of the table and waited for the ink to dry, and leaned back on the back of the chair, gently beating the sore instep, thinking in his heart. As far as is known, the army of the king of Huai is in Zhangping County, north of Shanzhou, and tonight the horse ordered someone to send the letter, if the king of Huai immediately sent cavalry to reinforce, then the time of one day and one night should be enough. The arrival of thousands of cavalry would immediately alleviate the current crisis. What I have to do is to fight for my life and hold on for a day and a night, and I must not be breached before the reinforcements arrive.
In fact, Liu Mengyuan at this moment is actually struggling in his heart. The refusal to send rescue to the door during the day really made him feel entangled in his heart, especially after witnessing the demons dancing outside the city in the evening, and he regretted it slightly. He felt that he might have made a mistake, and that he was indeed playing with the lives of the soldiers and civilians in the city. Before the arrival of King Huai's army, many, many people will surely die.
Although he is not an official who loves the people like a son, he also does not want to control the deaths and injuries of the army and civilians. But he had no choice, he had to choose between King Huai and King Jin. Maybe the safety of the time is naturally to invite the army of King Jin to defend the city as the best plan, without having to take huge risks, and without having to die too many people, but in that way, the future days will not only be the end of his career for Liu Mengyuan, but also the end of his life.
The contrast between the strength of the two princes in the court is actually obvious, although the matter of establishing the crown prince is not on the surface, but once it is proposed, King Huai's ascension to the throne is almost a sure thing. Not to mention that the rumored emperor's attitude is biased towards King Huai, just in terms of actual strength, it is no secret that Lu Xiang fully supports King Huai. And what is behind King Jin? It's nothing more than the so-called ancestral system of 'standing up for a long time'. The ancestral system cannot be violated, but it is not inviolable. The Great Zhou Dynasty was not without such a time. At the end of the day, it's strength that determines everything. He is just a small prefect, and his opinion on this matter is not worth mentioning at all. Now that I have this opportunity, let myself become the person in the eyes of Lu Xiang and King Huai, how can I not cherish it? This is impossible. Those who know the times are Junjie, and they will have a better future if they conform to the general trend of the DPRK and China, and he Liu Mengyuan is not one of those people who pretend to be ministers with his neck in his hand, he will not do such stupid things. Therefore, even if the current thing is risky, he must get through, and it will be a sunny day to get through, and his future hope is counting on this opportunity.
