Chapter 440: Another stab in the back
Upstairs in Danzhou City.
Zhang Jiujie looked at the dense Khitan tent under the city. Tent, sneered, and said: "Heaven has a road that does not leave, and hell has no door to vote for, these Khitan people really don't know whether to live or die!" ”
Cui Geng was puzzled: "There are 100,000 Khitan troops under the city, and General Manager Zhang doesn't seem to be worried?" ”
"Hehe, what about a hundred thousand troops?" Zhang Jiujie said proudly: "Which time did the Khitan attack on my Danzhou City, didn't it come out?" The result? Not in vain. Especially this ......"
Cui Geng asked, "What's different this time?" ”
Zhang Jiujie blinked and said jokingly: "This time Danzhou has Cui's writings, of course they have to lose even more." Speaking of which, Cui's luck is really good. As soon as the Khitans come, the whole city will prepare for war, and your participation in the Lalang meeting will be over. ”
After a pause, he continued: "Also, why did the Condor fall without an arrow? I should have heard of the allusion to "The Bird with the Frightened Bow". It should have run into the Khitan army and was seriously injured, but you picked it up. With such good luck, wouldn't it be a dead end for the Khitans to be your enemy? ”
Cui Geng said: "No, there is no "cane-headed man" to command, the divine eagle is high, how can the Khitan people get it?" ”
"Why not?" Zhang Jiujie glanced at Li Duozuo and said, "No matter how much the Condor is, it can't be smarter than a person, otherwise how can the people of the Divine Eagle catch Hai Dongqing?" ”
Li Duozuo shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Even for the Shen Ya people, it is not easy to capture the Divine Eagle. The Khitans were marching in a hurry while trapping the Condor? Unlikely. ”
Zhang Jiujie said unconvinced: "What about General Li's opinion?" Could it be that Cui's book is really some kind of divine envoy sent by God? But the old man did not believe it. ”
"This ......" Li Duozuo didn't believe it, and couldn't help but be speechless for a while.
Di Renjie said: "Regardless of whether Cui's work is a divine envoy or not, luck is certain." This time, the Khitans poured out of the nest, and the old man saw that their qi was exhausted. Alas, God bless Don! ”
These words are not joking, but truly heartfelt.
The reason is very simple, as soon as Radamizhu gets out of trouble, Mo Du has to send troops to fight even if it is just to vent his anger. The Khitans should be in a hurry to jump over the wall now, eager to fight the Zhou army.
Hearing this, Cui Geng couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, when Di Renjie asked himself to negotiate, one was to prevent himself from making trouble with Li Duozuo, and the other purpose was to hide the news of Radamizhu's escape from Wu Zetian.
If Li Xian can take advantage of this gap and use any means to force Wu Zetian to give way, of course, everything will be fine. Now it seems that it is all wishful thinking. One point of victory or defeat, can Wu Zetian spare Li Duozuo? Wang Xiaojie's revenge will be avenged. The conditions I promised Di Renjie and others a few days ago are no longer meaningful.
He was happy, Di Renjie, Zhang Jiujie, and Li Duozuo had mixed feelings in their hearts and looked good.
"Master Di, there is an urgent official document here!"
The dilapidated house was even more affected by the overnight rain, and suddenly a small school school carried a pigeon and walked up to the city tower.
Di Renjie took off the official document on the pigeon's leg and looked at it, sighed and said: "Heaven's will is hard to disobey, even if there are no Turks, the Khitans have exhausted their qi this time!" ”
What do you mean by that?
"Yang Xuanji, the chief of the Divine Soldier Dao, somehow got the route of the Khitans' march this time. He led 20,000 elite horsemen to follow, and now it is only two days away from our Danzhou! ”
Zhang Jiujie said: "Yang Xuanji is a famous general in the world, and the 20,000 cavalry under his command are the elite of the imperial court. When the Khitan was attacking the city, they suddenly covered up from behind...... Sun Wanrong is dead! ”
Li Duozuo sighed and said: "The defeat of the Khitan has been decided, and I am afraid that I can only go far away in the mountains and forests." The Tang Dynasty was successful in the coming days, and the two of them did not forget to mention to the Son of Heaven that many years ago, there was also a Li Duozuo, who would rather bear the infamy for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. ”
Although Di Renjie and Zhang Jiujie were not ashamed of Li Duozuo's actions, they still respected his belief in recovering the Tang Dynasty, and said: "Certainly, definitely." ”
"Thank you, both of you. Belch...... Li was upset, so he went down to arrange it, and he was out of company. ”
After speaking, Li Duozuo staggered down the city tower, his body was rickety, as if he was more than ten years old.
Cui Geng's heart moved, and said: "The Khitan dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, will Li Duozuo also jump off the wall in a hurry?" Two adults, you must be on guard! ”
"Cui is thinking too much." Zhang Jiujie said: "Your Majesty is almost eighty years old this year, how many years can you live?" Sooner or later, this world will fall into the hands of the surnamed Li. At that time, the new monarch ascended the throne, and he Li Duozuo may not be able to be reinstated, and now he is fighting to the death, which is too worthless. ”
"That's right."
……
……
The Khitans did not attack the city that day, but the next day, they went completely crazy.
"The first to ascend will be rewarded with a thousand taels, and the official will be promoted to three levels!"
"Kill! After the city is broken, the knife will not be sealed for three days! ”
"Kill Zhang Jiujie and avenge your dead brothers!"
"As long as Di Renjie is arrested, Da Zhou will definitely send an envoy to ask for peace, and the good days of our Khitan will come!"
……
With bursts of shouting, the Khitans besieged the city of Danzhou on all sides, regardless of priority.
This time, they learned the lessons of the previous three failed attacks on Danzhou City, and they were extremely well prepared, not only with ladders, catapults, and rushing carts, but even with ants attached to the city when necessary.
It didn't take two hours, and the four doors were tightened at the same time, and dangers were frequent.
Cheongbian Province Governor's Office.
"Report! Dongcheng can't stand it, and ask Master Di to send reinforcements quickly! ”
"Reinforcements? In addition to the old man's five hundred personal guards, where are there any reinforcements now? Di Renjie said bitterly: "That's it, that's it, Li Yuanfu!" ”
"The last general!"
"You take the old man's five hundred guards and gallop to the aid of Dongcheng, there must be no mistake."
"But...... The end is gone, what should you do here? ”
Di Renjie turned his face and said, "What can the old man have here?" Is there still someone in Danzhou City who wants to harm the old man? Enforce the military order! ”
"Yes!"
Not long after Li Yuanfu left, someone suddenly came to report, saying: "The Khitan attack is too fierce, and Xicheng is in danger, so I ask Master Di to send reinforcements quickly." ”
"I ......"
Di Renjie was taken aback at first, and then laughed and said: "It's difficult for us to persevere, and I'm afraid it's even more difficult for the Khitans to persevere." You go back and tell your brothers that as long as you persist through this wave, the Khitans will die! ”
"But ......" the little colonel who reported the message was embarrassed: "But we may not be able to withstand this wave, how much do you have to send someone over,"
"This ...... All right! ”
Old man Di stood up and said, "The old man is definitely gone, if you want reinforcements, the old man will go with you." Although I'm old, it's okay to cheer everyone up. ”
The little colonel muttered: "Little doesn't mean that......"
"Alas, whether it means that or not, this old man in Xicheng is not at ease, he has to go!"
There is another sentence that Di Renjie didn't say, it was Li Duozuo who was in charge of Xicheng, although intellectually he felt that he should trust this person, but subconsciously, he always felt that this guy was not very reliable.
Di Renjie shook his spirits and ordered someone to prepare the horse.
He was leaving, and of course the officials in the governor's mansion couldn't sit still, and asked to go with him, and Cui Geng was among them.
Coupled with the servants of these officials, there can be two or three hundred in such a makeshift way, and they come straight to the West Gate.
"Kill!"
As soon as they ascended the city tower, Feng Changqing and Huang Youwei, who were wearing heavy armor, shouted and rushed up. Other officials, regardless of civil and military forces, also joined the battlefield with their own swords.
Only Di Renjie's old arms and legs really can't move, and he is in charge of the overall situation in the back.
The dispute between the two armies was a thousand miles apart, and with the addition of such a new force, the situation of the battle was suddenly reversed.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the Khitans retreated like a tide.
Only then did Li Duozuo bring the beggar Sibi Yu and the beggar Zhongxiang to ask for the guilt, saying that the last general would be incompetent, let Di Xiang come to Yashi in person, and ask Di Xiang to punish the crime.
Of course, Di Renjie didn't think much of himself, and Wen Yan tried a few words.
Li Duozuo suggested: "It's almost noon, why don't you have a light meal on the city tower with all the adults?" ”
Di Renjie nodded and said: "That's fine, in the past, Zhuge Kongming burned incense and played the piano in Xicheng, and now the old man drinks and has fun in the Tanzhou City Tower, and it is also a good story to say it." ”
Li Duozuo smiled and said: "Zhuge Liang played the piano, it was an empty city plan, in fact, he was very panicked." You are old and now have tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and when it comes to the realm, I don't know how many times you are smarter than Zhuge Liang. ”
"Haha, General Li is false."
Di Renjie ate on the city tower to boost morale, of course, the bigger the, the better. Therefore, Li Duozuo's words are not very refuted.
Later, a few crude tables were set up, and the officials began to drink happily.
People with good deeds even talked and laughed loudly, pointing at the city, and their disdain was overflowing.
After less than half an hour, suddenly, Li Duozuo, who had been holding a banquet under the city tower, walked up to the city tower with the beggar Zhongxiang, the beggar Sibi Yu and Gao Xianzhi, and said, "Everyone, can you eat?" ”
"Well, I've pretty much eaten."
"That's good."
Choking cool~~
Suddenly, Li Duozuo pulled out the sword at his waist and said, "Everyone, now that there are people everywhere, it's time for us to talk about business." ”
That's not the right tone.
Di Renjie's face changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "What do you want to talk about?" ”
……
……
At the same time, outside the city of Danzhou, the Khitan camp was in the middle of the army.
Li Manfei, the chief of the Fenwen Department, said anxiously: "Great Khan, you can't fight like this anymore, this morning, the stick boys of my Fenwen Department died twenty percent!" ”
He Axiao, the chief of Fubu, was dissatisfied: "What is two percent? I've lost nearly three-thirds of my manpower. The battle has reached this point, can it be returned? ”
"If you fight again, if you fight again, our Khitan will be wiped out!"
"If you don't fight, you have to destroy the clan, what kind of good men and women do you think Wu Zetian's old lady is?"
"Then you can't take the initiative to die like this!"
……
The more the two talked, the more stiff they became, and Sun Wanrong was neither angry nor persuasive, just watching them argue with a smile.
It wasn't until the two of them were tired of arguing and their voices became lower that Sun Wanrong smiled slightly and said, "The two chiefs, please be calm for a while, Ben Shuai said two things, and you will understand that the dispute just now is meaningless." ”
"Those two things."
Sun Wanrong stretched out two fingers and said, "First, there is news from the inner line of the city, Yang Xuanji, the chief of the Divine Soldier Dao, is coming with 20,000 elite horsemen, and he is only a day's journey away from us. When he arrives, he will fight with the defenders in Danzhou City inside and outside, and we will not be lucky! ”
He Axiao said anxiously: "I said why did the Great Khan attack the city at all costs this morning, it turns out that there is still such a reason!" So what are you waiting for, give the order to go on the offensive. ”
"Not busy, not busy." Sun Wanrong waved his hand and said, "And after listening to what Ben Khan said about the second thing, you will understand that Yang Xuanji is not worried." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Our inner line in Danzhou City is Li Duozuo, the general of the right Yulin. He is going to tie up Di Renjie and others at noon today, that is, now, open the gate of Xicheng City, and offer Danzhou City! At that time, what can Yang Xuanji's 20,000 cavalry do under the fortified city? There is also Turkic Modu, when he saw that my Khitan defeated the Zhou army again, he may not be able to change his original intention. ”
Li Manfei hesitated: "Of course, it is best for Li Duozuo to be able to dedicate the city, but ...... Is he reliable? Could it be a scam? ”
"Never!" Sun Wanrong said firmly: "The real purpose of Li Duozuo is to establish the country of Liaodong and reproduce the glory of Goguryeo at that time, just like our Khitans." You said...... Let's not turn the world upside down with Da Zhou, does he Li Duozuo have this opportunity? Therefore, he will definitely help us win this battle at all costs. ”
He A smiled and said, "The people also want to establish a country? It's just overwhelming! Let's just make a fuss with them for the time being, wait for Danzhou City, and then wipe them out with those Han people. ”
Sun Wanrong nodded and said: "Ben Khan also means this, He Axiao listens to the order!" ”
"The last general!"
"You led the troops and horses of your headquarters to be the vanguard of our army, and when you saw the red flag raised on the tower of Xicheng three times, you quickly entered the city and captured Danzhou!"
"Order!" He Axiao pursed his lips and said, "I won't seal the knife for three days, hehe, I can't wait!" ”
