Chapter 808: The Prince's Decision
Zhenjiang City Chamber.
Facing Xu Huaiqing's question, Mo Wen hesitated, nodded slowly: "The structure in Zhenjiang City is very suitable for street fighting. I have called you here today, and I have set up a defense zone. ”
The generals were stunned and ready to listen to their mission. At this time, the prince spoke: "I don't agree to fight in the streets!" ”
"Your Highness!" Mo Wen was stunned for a while, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a very good monarch, never interferes with the specific command of the generals, and it is the first time that he suddenly vetoes his plan like this!
"I'm sorry General Mo." Zhu Gaochi smiled apologetically: "I really don't want to interfere with your authority. But once there is a street fight, it is not just a matter of the army. After a pause, His Royal Highness the Prince's fat face showed a heavy unbearable color and said: "It will also involve hundreds of thousands of Zhenjiang people, and it will inevitably cause a large number of civilian casualties." Saying that, he sighed and said: "The people of Zhenjiang City have suffered this unjustified disaster, which is unfortunate enough, and they can't be sent to death in vain." ”
Mo Wen frowned and did not speak.
"But Your Highness," it was Xu Huaiqing, who couldn't help but persuade: "Only in this way can we last until the day when the adults move to the emperor." ”
"Yes, Your Highness," Er Hei also persuaded: "The Han Dynasty army has a water division, we can only stare at the city wall and be beaten, retreat into the city, and their water division will stare dryly!" ”
The generals were still persuading, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly burst out: "There will be no reinforcements!" ”
"Your Highness, street fighting is a good way for the weak to defeat the strong......" The generals were still chattering, and they were suddenly stunned. What do you say?! ”
"I say," said the prince, taking a deep breath and looking gloomy, "we won't have any reinforcements!" ”
"Why?" The general asked in disbelief.
"Wang Xian and Zhu Zhanji have already done what they can." Zhu Gaochi said with a sad face: "But the emperor insisted on refusing to send troops, saying that he would let my brothers decide the victory or defeat by themselves." ”
"Ahh The generals felt like they had been poured a basin of ice water on their heads for 39 days, and it was cold from the outside to the heart.
"Hey......" Mo Wen lowered his head, and there was no need to say anything at this moment.
"This matter should have been told to everyone as soon as possible," the prince was very kind, and took the responsibility of Mo Wen on himself: "But I'm not reconciled!" I don't want to lose! Don't want to disappoint everyone! As he spoke, he sighed and said, "So I won't let General Mo sue you." ”
"Your Highness......" Mo asked, his eyes reddened.
"But today General Mo told me that the city wall will be lost tomorrow, and he asked me to prepare for a street battle," the prince said slowly: "I wake up!" I can't kill the people of the city because of my obsession alone! As he spoke, he looked at the generals affectionately and said, "I can't kill you loyal and brave soldiers!" ”
There was silence in the council room, and the generals looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not knowing where to start. Only Zhu Zhanjun's sobbing sounded quietly.
"I should have come to my senses earlier, so that I could kill fewer soldiers." Zhu Gaochi stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, took a deep breath and said: "It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, what I can do now is to open the city and surrender early tomorrow morning, and exchange myself for your peace." Saying that, he sighed and said, "With the emperor here, I think this can still be done!" ”
"No way!" Before the prince's words fell, Xue Huan's side took the case first, and shouted loudly: "That Lao Cheng and more than 30,000 soldiers didn't die in vain!" ”
"Yes," Erhei also said in a sullen voice: "If you want to surrender and surrender early, it's all here, what's the use?!" It's just self-inflicted humiliation! ”
"Shut up!" Mo Wen also disagreed with the prince, but he still had to suppress the generals and said, "How can you talk to the prince?!" ”
"It doesn't matter." Zhu Gaochi waved his hand and said, "I was indeed wrong, and now I can only make amends." As he spoke, he looked at the generals with tears in his eyes: "After all, you are still alive?!" ”
"Your Highness!" Xu Huaiqing also had tears in his eyes and choked up: "We can't surrender!" Otherwise, those brothers who died in battle would have gone mad! ”
"Yes, Your Highness," Erhei also had red circles in his eyes: "We people gathered together just to protect you and fight with them, after fighting for so many years and paying such a big price, if you surrender like this, it is better to die!" ”
"Your Highness! We are not afraid of death! Xue Huan said angrily: "But we are afraid of a lifetime of shame!" ”
"Adults will kill our ......," Xu Huaiqing added.
"Father!" Even Zhu Zhanjun was infected, and said: "The eldest husband would rather die than give in!" Manly man would rather bend! ”
"This ......" Zhu Gaochi didn't expect that the crowd would react in this way. Jian Yi on the side frowned and said, "Do you dare to disobey the will of the crown prince?!" ”
"How old are you!" Xue Huan glanced at Jian Yi. The dignified Ministry of Rites was so scorned by this kid that his face turned blue with anger: "The old man is the secretary of the Ministry of Justice!" Even your father has to be polite to me! ”
"Then you go to my father," Xue Huan didn't like him at all, and glared: "I see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to surrender, and Bacheng was instigated by you!" ”
"You! Nonsense! Jian Yi's nose was crooked, and being looked down upon was one thing, but also because he was said by Xue Huan.
"Okay, don't talk about it." Zhu Gaochi couldn't listen to it anymore, and said a fair word for Jian Yi: "Jian Shangshu is also for the good of the people." ”
"Sure enough, you said it!" The generals glared angrily at Jianyi, and Jianyi was panicked by the look, so he had to bow his head.
"It's easy." Wu Wei, who had been silent, spoke. "We will defend the walls tomorrow, and we will not retreat to the city."
"Not bad!" When the generals heard this, they all agreed: "If they want to enter the city, they must step on our corpses!" ”
"You ......" Zhu Gaochi looked at this group of young people who looked at death as if they were at home, and was also moved by their heroism, and made up his mind: "Okay! Tomorrow I will go to the city wall, and we will fight them to the death!" ”
"That's right!" The generals were happy, and smiled at the prince: "People die and birds are facing the sky, we are dead, and we can't let Zhu Gaoxu be proud!" ”
"Yes!" Zhu Gaochi nodded heavily and said, "People are dead and birds are facing the sky!" As he spoke, he looked at Mo and asked, "General Mo, how to fight tomorrow, I have to listen to you." ”
"Without him," Mo Wen said in a deep voice, "only fight to the death!" ”
"Yes!" The generals www.biquge.info their heads and said, "Fight to the death!" ”
"Let's all go back and rest." A rare smile appeared on Mo Wen's face: "Almost, this is our last night." ”
"Yes." The generals got up and took their leave. Mo Wen also saluted the prince and said goodbye.
As soon as the generals retreated, Jian Yi darkened his face: "Your Highness, how can you make them change their minds in a few words?!" ”
"Because ......" Zhu Gao sighed faintly, slowly raised his head and said: "In my heart, I think the same way." As he spoke, His Royal Highness the Prince's eyes were firm, his eyes seemed to pierce the night, and he saw the Han Wangjun camp in the distance and said, "Let me surrender to the second child, it is better to kill me." ”
"Father is so right!" Zhu Zhanjun almost worships his dead father, and his perception of Zhu Gaochi has changed dramatically in this month.
"Hey......" Jian Yi was depressed, and shouted in his heart: 'Crazy, all crazy!'.
The words were divided into two ends, but it was said that the congregation would leave the chamber and walk in the cloister.
"It's still early in the morning, what are you doing?" These days and nights of fighting, suddenly there are a few hours to spare, Xue Huan doesn't know what to do.
"Isn't this nonsense, of course I'm going back to sleep." Erhei stretched his waist and said, "Trapped Lao Tzu!" ”
"Sleep?!" Xue Huan's eyes widened: "If Ming'er dies, she will sleep for a long time, isn't it a waste of time to sleep at this time?" ”
"Hehe...... hey," Erhei smiled.
"Silly." Xu Huaiqing patted Xue Huan's shoulder with a smile and said, "People have daughters-in-law." ”
"Ahh Xue Huan's eyes widened and he said blankly, "So what? ”
"Poof......" Xu Huaiqing laughed strangely: "You kid haven't touched a woman yet, have you?!" ”
"Who says no?!" Xue Huan's face was swollen and red, and he said in a sullen voice: "The maid at home is waiting for Lao Tzu to get dressed, can you still touch it?" ”
"It's not that kind of touch," Xu Huaiqing **** smiled, and hooked his thumbs together: "It's that kind!" ”
"Which?!" Xue Huan's eyes widened.
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed, pointed at Xue Ergongzi and said, "He is really a chick!" ”
"Then come with me!" Xu Huaiqing hooked Xue Huan's arm and said, "Brother help you make up for this lesson!" ”
Xue Er was stunned and was taken away by Xu Huaiqing. Erhei also went back to his residence, leaving Mo Wen and Wu Wei with two stuffy gourds.
The two glanced at each other, and Mo asked, "You went to see your father?" ”
Wu Wei nodded.
"And then?"
"Then I'll go back, and the soldiers are still working overnight." Wu Wei said, glanced at Mo strangely and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”
"I want someone to drink." Mo Wen said softly.
"Don't you never drink?" Wu Wei is even more strange.
"It's the last night, so let's taste what you haven't tasted." Mo Wen smiled self-deprecatingly: "Looking back, I have been in the military book in this life, and I have missed too many things, so it is really not worth it." ”
"I see." Wu Wei nodded, and instructed uneasily: "Just taste it, don't get drunk, how will you fight tomorrow......"
"Uh......" Mo Wen couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "Then it's better not to drink it." ”
"Two or three drinks will be fine." Wu Wei said with a smile: "Let's try it, there is no wine to drink in the underworld." ”
"Then I'll think about it." Mo Wen said with a somewhat tangled expression.
"Hahahaha......" Wu Wei laughed, waved his hand at Mo Wen, and went to the kitchen first, prepared the wine and food with his own hands, put them in the food box, and carried them to the prison.
When they arrived at the prison gate, the guards of the North Town Fusi greeted him: "My lord! ”
"I'll go in and have a look." Wu Wei said softly.
"Yes." The guard answered and slowly opened the cell door.
