Chapter 851: Hold on and Wait for Help

"What, the remnants of Jiaozhi rebelled in Shenglong Mansion, and the army of King Wei was besieged, and now I don't know if I live or die!" Hearing this news, Deng Juan was also so shocked that he stood up and said, as for Xing Shu, who was sitting next to him, his hand was even more frightened, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and fell apart, he did not follow Zhao Hao to Shenglong Mansion, but stayed here in the deep-water port to be responsible for the dispatch of materials in the rear, but he didn't expect to wait for this news.

"Deng Zhizhou, hurry! Hurry up and gather the army, and you must rescue His Royal Highness King Wei as soon as possible! Xing Shu reacted quickly at this time, and immediately grabbed Deng Xuan's arm and said loudly, he is really scared now, as a deputy envoy, if something really happens to Zhao Hao, I am afraid that his life will come to an end.

"Xing Zuosi, the lower officials also want to rescue His Royal Highness King Wei as soon as possible, but you also know that half of my garrison in Yuezhou was taken away by His Highness, and the rest can't be recklessly moved, so there are no troops to adjust at all!" Deng Juan heard Xing Shu's words, but said with a wry smile.

"Then go to a nearby state to adjust, the safety of His Royal Highness King Wei is related to the stability of my Great Song Dynasty, and he must not be allowed to have any mistakes!" Xing Shu shouted again at this time, Zhao Hao's safety was also related to his life, so he naturally hoped to rescue Zhao Hao as soon as possible.

"If you ask for help from a nearby state, then you can only go to Qiongzhou, Hu Yanping and Hu Yanqing happened to be stationed there, in order to prevent the remnants of Jiaozhi on the side of Yuezhou, but the official and the two Huyan generals did not get along well, I was not less angry with them before, I thought that after His Royal Highness the King of Wei arrived, they would no longer be needed, but I didn't expect to have to beg them!" At this time, Deng Juan suddenly sighed and said, it seemed that he was very dissatisfied with the Hu Yanping brothers.

Hearing Deng Xuan's complaint, Xing Shu was so ashamed that his face was flushed, because they came all the way from the capital to Yuezhou, originally to appease the situation in Yuezhou. But now it's good, not only did it not calm down the situation in Yuezhou, but it put Zhao Hao in danger, and even went to ask the Huyan brothers for help, who didn't know that the Huyan brothers were all Zhao Yan's people?

"Deng Zhizhou, His Highness is trapped in a hundred thousand urgent. You can't delay for a moment, since you are at odds with General Huyan, then let the old man run in person, no matter what, you can't let His Royal Highness King Wei have an accident! Xing Shu finally spoke again, something happened to Zhao Hao, he had no intention of waiting any longer, and it just so happened that Deng Juan didn't seem to want to see Brother Hu Yanping, so he simply went out in person, so as not to delay Deng Juan time.

"If Xing Zuosi is willing to go in person, it would be the best. Speaking of which, those remnants of Jiaozhi officially rebelled, although they are only besieging Thang Long Mansion now, no one knows if they will attack other places, so Xia Guan also needs to make arrangements now, and it is best to minimize the impact of this matter. Seeing that Xing Shu was going, Deng Juan immediately agreed.

Xing Shu was anxious now, so he said goodbye to Deng Juan immediately, and then went to Qiongzhou by boat for help. In fact, Xing Shu also felt very aggrieved, after all, he was full of ambition to follow Zhao Hao to do a big career. But he didn't expect that the teacher was unfavorable, and he had to pull down his face to ask Zhao Yan's people for help, if this matter reached the capital, he and Zhao Hao didn't want to raise their heads again. But now the face and the like are no longer important, the important thing is to save Zhao Hao's life.

At the same time that Xing Shu went to Qiongzhou to ask for help, Zhao Hao in the city of Shenglong Mansion once again summoned Wang Dan and other commanders to discuss the matter. However, the only thing missing was the high commander, not only because Zhao Hao was very disgusted with the high commander, but he also knew that even if the high commander attended the meeting, he couldn't make any good suggestions, so he simply didn't call him.

"Generals. We've been trapped for a few days, the grain and grass outside the city can't be transported in, and the food in the city can't last long, so it's not a way to be trapped like this, we still have to find a way to kill it! At this time, I saw Zhao Hao take the lead in speaking, after a few days of recuperation, he finally recovered from the panic, and he was not willing to be besieged like this again, so he summoned Wang Dan and others to discuss the method.

Hearing Zhao Hao's words, Wang Dan and the others glanced at each other, and then saw Wang Dan stand up and say: "Your Highness, after these few days of observation, we found that the total number of rebels outside the city has not decreased, but is still slowly increasing, according to our estimates, it should be Li Gande after the rebellion, and attracted a lot of rebels to join, and now it has exceeded 40,000 people, with our strength, it is not difficult to kill it, but ......"

"But what?" Zhao Hao heard Wang Dan say that it was not difficult to kill him, and he was also happy at the moment, but when he heard Wang Dan say the word "but", he couldn't help but ask anxiously at the moment.

"Your Highness, the king's commander means that it is easy to kill, but it is a little difficult to escape the pursuit of the Jiaozhi rebels, there are no decent towns around Thang Long Mansion, although there are cement roads to communicate, but both sides of the road are dense jungles, and there is not much difference from the jungle, and it will take at least four or five days to walk to reach the nearest town, but in these four or five days, Li Qiande will definitely chase after him, with their familiarity with the terrain of Jiaozhi, as well as their understanding of the jungle, They will most likely make their way through the jungle to get ahead of us, and it won't be good if they get stuck in the way. At this time, Commander Cao replied on behalf of Wang Dan.

Although the rebels outside are several times larger than theirs, it is impossible to trap them, the only thing that worries them is the pursuit along the way, don't look at them on the plain battlefield They are much stronger than the Jiaozhi people, but if they are in the jungle, the situation will be reversed immediately, and their ten thousand people may be gnawed by the other party in just a few days.

Although Zhao Hao did not know military affairs, he also learned some information after coming to Yuezhou, and knew that the Jiaozhi people were far more suitable in the jungle than the Great Song army, so Yuezhou also always had an army composed of Jiaozhi people, but when he mobilized the army before, he thought that these Jiaozhi people were not credible, so all the troops mobilized were composed of Song people, and now it seems that it is a bit of a mistake.

"Then can you find a way to get rid of the pursuit of the remnants of Jiaozhi?" At this time, Zhao Hao asked again, he really didn't want to stay in Shenglong Mansion anymore, not only were there rebels outside, but there was also a shortage of food in the city, which was blamed on him not thinking that he would be trapped before, so he didn't have any food in reserve, and even he, the prince, only drank rice porridge for several days.

"This is unlikely, these Cochin people have lived in the jungle since childhood, and their understanding of the jungle is far from comparable to ours, plus we can only retreat along the cement road, and we don't dare to go deep into the jungle at all, so the Cochin people only need to take a shortcut and wait for us in front, and then we can only fight with them, but the Cochin people will definitely not fight with us, but hide in the jungle to sneak attack and release poisonous arrows, and it will be difficult for us to protect the safety of His Highness at that time." At this time, Wang Dan also spoke again, if only these troops were them, they would not be afraid of the pursuit of the Jiaozhi people, but they had to ensure Zhao Hao's safety, which would be a little difficult, because the sneak attacks of the Jiaozhi people were simply endless, and anyone in the army would be under the threat of the Jiaozhi people, and no one could be an exception.

"What should I do, can I just stay here and wait?" Zhao Hao said anxiously again when he heard this, through the last incident, he had completely believed in the words of Wang Dan and the others, but it was precisely because of this that he was even more anxious.

"Your Highness, in fact, you don't have to worry, according to the estimation of the last general, the deep-water port side must have already received the news from our side, Deng Zhizhou and Xing Zuosi will definitely find a way to come to the rescue, so as long as we hold on for a few more days, reinforcements will definitely come." At this time, Wang Dan spoke again, for the sake of Zhao Hao's safety, they could only choose the safest way to stick to waiting for help.

"But half of Yuezhou's army has been transferred by this king, what will Deng Zhizhou do to save us?" Zhao Hao seemed to be the six gods without the master at this time.

"Your Highness don't have to worry about this problem, there is General Huyan stationed in Qiongzhou, with 30,000 troops in his hands, and he can come across the sea at any time, at their speed, I estimate that within ten days, reinforcements will arrive, although our food stock is not much, but as long as we save a little, there is no problem to persist for ten days." At this time, the short commander also spoke, he used to work under Hu Yanping, and he followed Hu Yanping to fight here, and then Hu Yanping led the army away, and he stayed here as a garrison.

Hearing that he was going to ask Hu Yanping and Hu Yanqing for help, Zhao Hao's face couldn't help but be a little ugly, but then he thought of his current situation, and finally had to sigh helplessly, lose face and lose face, anyway, it's better than falling into the hands of Jiaozhi people.

Next, Zhao Hao discussed military affairs with Wang Dan and others, such as the defense arrangement in the city, and the coordination of the few remaining materials, etc., these things are very trivial, but they are very important, and Zhao Hao also knows for the first time that the original war seems simple, but in fact, there are a lot of things to consider, maybe negligence in one aspect will lead to the defeat of a big war.

Seven days later, there is still no news of the reinforcements outside the city, and the food in the city of Shenglong Mansion is getting less and less, Wang Dan and others have begun to look for wild vegetables in the city, and cook them into wild vegetable porridge with rice, and even Zhao Hao has reduced his three meals a day to two meals a day, and Zhao Hao will be woken up hungry every night, recalling his life in the capital, he also regrets his original decision even more, and sometimes he even feels that what the emperor is not as important as a full meal in his opinion.

And Li Qiande outside the city is not honest these days, and he will send troops to attack Shenglong Mansion City every day, although he is defeated every time, but it greatly consumes the strength of Wang Dan's soldiers.

On the night of the eighth day, Zhao Hao was eating the famous roast duck in the capital in his sleep, but at this moment, there was a sudden chaos outside, and Zhao Hao jumped up from the bed at once, because he remembered that when he was attacked by the Jiaozhi rebels before, it was also so chaotic outside.
