The soldiers of the Yuan army were repulsed again, and the towers of Anyi City cheered, and Taishou Jia Kui hurriedly walked to the person who saved him, but saw that this person was slender, with a thin face, dark skin, deep-set eyes, a cold expression, and a bloody long sword in his hand, about thirty years old.

"Thank you for the rescue, I am grateful." Jia Kui said respectfully to this strong man who saved him and guarded the city by himself.

The strong man first returned the sword into the sheath, and then clenched his fists and arched his hand: "Your Excellency doesn't have to be like this, you came here just to repay your kindness." ”

"Kindness?" Jia Kui was stunned, he had never seen the person in front of him, how could this person say that he was here to repay his kindness?

"A certain surname Zhu, a fair name, a native of Luoyang, migrated to Dongyuan in the east of the river with his mother to avoid chaos. Five years ago, because he accidentally killed the son of the Ling family in Dongyuan County, he was wanted by the government, and in desperation, he had to flee to another country. However, the old mother couldn't follow, so she was taken by the county order and locked in a cell. Fortunately, the adults came here to take office, passed through Dongyuan, and severely punished the county order for corruption and perversion of the law, so that the old mother was saved and properly placed by the adults. My mother has always missed the kindness of adults and often asked me to repay my kindness. I know that the adult is in trouble, so I rushed from Dongyuan, and I don't want to save the adult. ”

After Jia Kui heard this, he was slightly surprised and said: "The Yuan army has blocked the water in the siege of Anyi, how can you come in from the outside?" ”

"A certain person who has followed the great swordsman Wang Yue since he was a child to learn swordsmanship, swordsmanship is outstanding, even if Yuan Jun is thousands, but they are all ordinary people, they can't help me at all, I killed more than a dozen people in a row, and the rest of them are afraid. I didn't dare to chase it anymore. Only then was I able to enter the city of Anyi. "I wish justice to the story.

"Strong men are strong in martial arts. It's really a blessing for the people of Anyi City, just because the strong man has saved my life, and the kindness is repaid, I shouldn't have begged the strong man for anything, but this matter is related to the survival of tens of thousands of people in Anyi City, I don't know if the strong man can sacrifice his life to do one thing for me? Jia Kui immediately bowed.

Zhu Gong arched his hand and said: "If your lord has any orders, even if it is so." When I was leaving, my mother instructed me to do my best to protect the adults, even if I risked my life. ”

Jia Kui said: "The strong man is serious, although this move is a little dangerous, but it will not cost his life." You are a strong martial artist and can come and go freely in the midst of Yuan's army, and I would like to ask you to help me deliver a letter. ”

"Sending a message? Where to? Zhu Gongdao asked.

Jia Kui said: "General Hulie Tai Shi Ci garrisoned Hanoi, although the situation in Anyi is critical. But it can still last a few days, so I will repair a book. You immediately go to Hanoi with the letter, and be sure to hand it over to General Taishi himself, who will inevitably send troops to rescue him when he sees the letter, so that your mission will be accomplished. ”

Zhu Gongdao frowned and asked, "In this way, didn't that leave the adult's side?" If there is any danger to adults, won't the old mother complain that a certain adult is not well protected? ”

"Don't worry, my life is not so easy to lose, and I also have a strategy to delay the enemy, as long as the strong man can send the letter, it will be a great achievement. Even if my life is lost, the arrival of reinforcements is equivalent to saving the lives of the people of the city. In exchange for the lives of tens of thousands of people in the city, I think it's worth it! Jia Kui looked at death as home.

Zhu Gongdao sighed at Jia Kui's words, and immediately clasped his fists and said: "Since the adults insist on this, there is nothing to say." A certain is willing to smear the liver and brain of adults! ”

Jia Kui smiled happily, immediately asked someone to take a pen and paper, wrote a letter freely, and then handed it to Zhu Gongdao.

"Strong man, without further ado, you can go on the road now, and take advantage of the new defeat of Yuan's army, you may be able to easily break out of the encirclement." Jia Kui said.

Zhu Gongdao kept the letter close to him, and then hugged Jia Kui with a fist, turned around and jumped down to the outside of the city wall, the slender figure floated down, and fell directly into the pile of corpses, with the help of the elasticity of the corpse, turned over to the ground, rolled over, and stood up on the ground, and then quickly took off the military uniform on one of the corpses of Yuan Jun, draped it directly on his body, and ran forward quickly, and soon integrated into the ranks of the defeated army, and then he could no longer be seen.

Jia Kui saw that Zhu Justice had gone, so he was relieved and began to command the people guarding the city to clean up the dead bodies in the city, while he went down to the city tower and asked people to find the richest man in the city, Zheng.

Zheng came to the gate of the city and met Jia Kui, who immediately made a call to Zheng.

After hearing this, Zheng hurriedly asked, "My lord, is this possible?" ”

Jia Kui said: "Let's try it!" ”

Zheng said: "My lord, when will I act?" ”

"Wait until it's dark!"

Gao Gan was defeated again, annoyed and angry, and said angrily: "Little Anyi City, I don't believe that I can't attack him!" Pass the order, and the whole army is ready to attack the city! ”

After hearing this, Zhang Sheng, the general of the senior cadre, looked embarrassed, and hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, the soldiers are very tired, and the weather is freezing, even General Guo has been defeated, let alone the rest, it is better to rest for a day and fight again tomorrow!" ”

After saying this, Zhang Sheng hurriedly glanced at the other four generals Xia Zhao, Deng Sheng, Wei Gu, Zhang Yan and others around Gao Gan, and Xia Zhao, Deng Sheng, Wei Gu, and Zhang Yan hurriedly echoed the voice.

The senior cadres gave up and returned to the camp, but assigned the generals to guard the various camps, and never let anyone out.

Guo Yuan led the defeated army back, a group of people were depressed, and Zhu Gongdao, who was disguised as a soldier of the Yuan army, took this opportunity to slip out of the encirclement of the Yuan army, captured a war horse, rode away, did not look back, and soon disappeared without a trace.

The sky gradually darkened, Yuan Jun all cowered in the camp, only a few people were on guard, when night fell, no one noticed, Jia Kui commanded a group of people, from the city to carry buckets of cold water, along the city wall water......

After a long while, the gate of Anyi slowly opened, and a black shadow flashed out of it, running straight towards Yuan Jun's camp.

At this moment. Gao Gan was alone in the camp and drank sullen wine. He was quite dissatisfied with the fighting that had taken place in the past three days. He never expected that a lonely city that had been surrounded by his regiments would be able to hold on so tenaciously and repel dozens of attacks in a row.

The army's attack was blocked, and Gao Gan's mood was also very depressed, according to Jihua, he should have captured the entire territory of Hedong, and should have occupied the three key points of Pishi, Pusaka, and Dayang. The west can attack Guanzhong, and the east can threaten Luoyang, forming a diversion role and laying a good foundation for Yuan Shao to launch a full-scale war.

However, all the jihua could not be carried out because it was impossible to capture Anyi Castle. If you bypass Anyi, it is equivalent to leaving a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, which is very harmful to it.

"Goo-dong!"

Gao Gan took a sip of wine, and he was in a very unhappy mood.

That's when it happened. A personal soldier walked in from outside and said directly to Gao Gan, "Lord Qiqi." A spy was caught outside, saying that he was the richest man in the city, Zheng, and wanted to see the adult, saying that he had something important to tell him. ”

When Gao Gan heard this, he came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Bring people in!" ”

"Whoa!"

After a short time, the Zheng family, who was tied up with five flowers, was pushed in, and as soon as he entered the big tent, he was pressed and fell to his knees.

Gao Gan put down the wine pot in his hand and glanced at Zheng's, but saw that Zheng's fat head and big ears, fine skin and tender flesh, the clothes on his body were also extremely luxurious, and there was a high-quality jade pendant tied around his waist.

Gao Gan waved his hand at his soldiers and motioned for them to leave, and said to Zheng: "You want to see me?" ”

Zheng nodded heavily and said, "The villain risked his life to go out of the city just to meet the adults. ”

"See what I am doing?"

"The villain is Zheng Lun, the richest man in the city, when the adult led the army to Anyi on the first day, the villain had the intention of surrendering, but the Taishou Jia Kui bewitched the people, swore to resist to the death, and the villain had no choice. In the past three days, there have been countless deaths and injuries in the city, and the people are mourning all over the country, my ancestral hometown is Anyi, and I can't bear to let tens of thousands of fathers and elders suffer with him because of Jia Kui alone. So, the villain contacted more than 30 wealthy families in the city, discussed together, and unanimously decided to prepare to open the city and surrender, and sacrifice Jia Kui to the adults. ”

After hearing this, Gao Gan's face was slightly moved, but then he regained his composure, and asked as if he was suspicious: "Since you want to arrest Jia Kui and dedicate it to me, weishenme, you came alone late at night?" ”

Zheng Lun said: "My lord, this is actually a worry for us, they are worried that we will dedicate Jia Kui to the lord, and after the surrender of Kaecheng, the lord will vent his hatred because of the obstruction of the past two days and order the slaughter of the city. That's why they recommended me to make a deal with an adult. ”

"What deal?"

Zheng Lun said: "We will dedicate Jia Kui to your lordship, but please don't enter the city with your army, if you must enter the city, the army must not follow your lord into the city, and must stay outside the city." As for those Diao people who follow Jia Kui to resist the adults, we will settle them one by one, and dedicate them to the adults together with Jia Kui. ”

Gao Gan thought about it for a while, and felt that what Zheng Lun said was indeed in their interests, if he agreed, not only could he kill Jia Kui, but he could also make An Yi surrender without spending a single soldier. As for whether to enter the city or not, it is not a decision that Zheng Lun and others can make, as long as Zheng Lun and others arrest all the resisters and dedicate them to him, after he kills them all, and then transfers a large army into the city, who can resist?

"Okay, I promise you the conditions, as long as you arrest Jia Kui and those resisters and dedicate them to me, not only will I not lead the army to attack the city, but I will also make you the county commander of Anyi, how about it?" High arterial road.

Zheng Lun immediately thanked him and said: "Thank you for your love, if this is the case, the villain will be grateful." ”

"Okay, that's it, tomorrow, I'll be waiting for you at the city gate!"

After Zheng Lun heard this, his face showed embarrassment, and he said to Gao Gan: "My lord, Jia Kui and those who resisted are numerous, although we have more than 20 people joining forces, the number can only be equal to them, and it is only a little difficult to catch them all overnight." I wonder if adults can grace two days? ”

"No! Two days is too long, I will give you a grace period of five hours at most, I don't care what method you use, if the time comes, I haven't seen you tie up Jia Kui and the others to see me, I will send a large army to attack and set foot on your Anyi City! ”

Zheng Lun trembled, and immediately said: "My lord is angry, I will go back and prepare, hoping to get them all drunk for an excuse......"

"Okay, I'll send someone to take you back. By the way, how did you get out? ”

"Money can make ghosts grind, I bought off one of the people who guarded the city gates, and only after everyone else was asleep did I sneak out."

Gao Gan didn't ask anything more, and immediately called someone in, untied Zheng Lun, and then sent someone to send Zheng Lun out of the camp.

After Zheng Lun was sent away, a faint smile appeared on Gao Gan's face, and he thought to himself: "Haha...... God help me! Tomorrow I will be able to spend the night in Anyi City......" (To be continued......)
