The eldest son of the red mansion

Seeing Burigude's question, Zhou Wu hurriedly walked a few steps forward, came to Burigude's side, nodded and bowed and said: "General, I am a hundred households in this city, and I am General Gu Xu's confidant. Just now the general asked me to guard the imprisoned thousands of households in the garrison mansion, waiting for the adults to come and release them. I was anxious to wait in the mansion, so I came here to see if the adults of Shangguo need anything, so I can help." After finishing speaking, he showed a flattering smile to Brigude.

Chapter 207 Righteous

Seeing this man's wit and wit, Burigude saw that although he looked a bit awkward, he could still be kept by his side as a plaything, so he jokingly said to him: "I think you are smarter than my son. If you are strong, you might as well be my son."

As soon as Brigud finished saying this, he said something bad in his heart. What he said just now was a bit too much. Now is the time to conquer the hearts of these people. If this person becomes angry, let Arslen Khan know , I am afraid that he will be punished.

Who would have thought that Zhou Wu would hit a snake with a stick and immediately knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "I feel close to my father when I see my father today. It is really a blessing for me to be filial by my father's side in the future. Please also accept it." Boy, let the boy be able to follow his father and listen to his teachings at all times." After finishing speaking, he kowtowed on the ground non-stop.

Gu Xu saw how he looked like a slave. Although he himself surrendered to the Tatars, he felt so shameless towards Zhou Wu that he only knew how to flatter the Tatars, and his face turned red.

Brigude was completely taken aback by him. He didn't expect that this person would take it seriously when he said a joke. Not only was he not angry, but he really wanted to worship him as his father.

How could Bu Rigude recognize such a shameless and cowardly man as his son, but seeing Zhou Wu kept kowtowing, he could only step forward to help him, and said in his mouth: "General Zhou, don't do this, Get up quickly, it is okay for us to take care of each other as a family in the future, I was just joking just now, don't take it seriously."

When Bu Rigude just helped Zhou Wu up, there was a sudden change. At this time, Zhou Wu's face no longer had a smile, but his face was full of ferocity.And there was already an extra dagger in his hand, and before Brigude could react, Zhou Wu wanted to stab him with a knife.

What Burigude thought in his mind at this time was that it was not easy to fall for the trick, Gu Xu tricked me into the city and wanted to catch us all.Before he could finish thinking, someone pushed him, and Zhou Wu's dagger just scratched his arm.

Brigude turned around and saw that it was Gu Xu who pushed him just now.At this moment, he completely understood that Gu Xu really wanted to surrender, but his officers and soldiers were unwilling.

Gu Xu had been following Bu Rigude just now, and when Zhou Wu got up, he felt something was wrong. He knew Zhou Wu very well. When he moved his right arm just now, Gu Xu already understood that Zhou Wu wanted to A sign of action.So he didn't care too much, and directly pushed Brigud away, which saved his life.

Gu Xu snatched a saber from a Tatar next to him, came to Zhou Wu's side, raised the saber, and slashed at him.Although Zhou Wu dared to carry out the assassination, his skills were really weak, and he was knocked to the ground by Gu Xu in just a few strokes. At this time, he was lying in a pool of blood, looking at Gu Xu fiercely.

Gu Xu was so angry that Zhou Wu in front of him almost ruined his big event, raising a knife would end Zhou Wu's life.

Bu Rigude hurriedly stopped Gu Xu. He has always valued heroes. He saw that although he was a treacherous man on the surface, he did not expect to be able to give up his life for the country at a critical moment, so he wanted to save his life, " Let’s hurt his life, take him back and ask him if he has any other accomplices.”

Gu Xu then gave up, staring at Zhou Wu fiercely and asked: "I ask myself that I treat you well, so why did you betray me?"

Hearing what he said, Zhou Wu laughed out loud.After laughing, he said: "The Emperor of Central Plains treats you well, why did you betray him?"

Gu Xu was left speechless by his question, and Brigude next to him took two steps forward at this time and said: "As long as you tell me who else is in the same party, I will be the master. Not only will I not kill you, but I will also give you high officials and generous salaries." .”

Hearing his words, Zhou Wu stared at him fiercely and said: "The matter has come to this point, what else can I say, I only hate that I used to be greedy for pleasure and left behind my martial arts skills, otherwise how could you stand here? .”

After Zhou Wu finished speaking, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "The salary of eating the emperor, the matter of loyalty to the emperor, I have done my best as a humble minister of the emperor. Today I am dying, I only wish I could not kill the enemy for the country."

Gu Xu's face at the side has turned into a scapegoat. Compared with Zhou Wu's integrity, he is like a shameless villain next to him, and the eyes of the civil servants and soldiers around him are not right anymore. Everyone's eyes are full of contempt.

Gu Xu didn't want to stay here anymore, so he said to Brigude: "This is not a place for generals to talk, why don't you take them back to the Garrison Mansion, and torture them severely at that time, are you afraid that he won't tell the truth?"

After listening to Gu Xu's words, Bu Rigude thought it was reasonable, so he ordered Zhou Wu to be tied up. When they were about to go to the garrison mansion, they suddenly shouted to kill Zhentian.

Gu Xu looked up and saw a few thousand households, each of them brought their subordinates to kill here.Gu Xu couldn't help but change his face, staring at Zhou Wu with blood-red eyes: "Why did these people come out?"

Seeing this situation, Zhou Wu showed joy on his face, and said to Gu Xu: "You want to betray your ancestors, but we still want to meet our ancestors underground. These people are all released by me. Today we must Fight to the death with the Tartars."

After hearing his words, Gu Xu couldn't bear it any longer, he raised the waist knife in his hand and slashed forward, next week Wu's head rolled to the side.Gu Xu was still angry, stepped forward to Zhou Wu's body, and slashed a few more times.

And Burigude didn't care about him at that time, and now many of his troops are concentrated in the Wengcheng, and now arrows are flying around like rain.In just a few breaths, hundreds of people were hit by arrows, and rolling wood and thunder stones kept falling from the top of the city.

Brigude didn't dare to neglect at this time, and immediately ordered the cavalry under his command to slowly withdraw from the city gate.

When Gu Xu saw that Burigude was about to retreat, he hurried forward to stop him and said, "No, general. In the current situation, we should take advantage of the situation to attack the city. Our number is several times that of the enemy. Although there are some losses in attacking the city now, it is better than being defeated." It is better to drive out of the city wall and lose the foothold. When Miyun is fortified, the loss will be even greater if you attack the city again."

Although Gu Xu was greedy for life and afraid of death, and corrupted the law, he also rose from a hundred households after all.He is also very knowledgeable about attacking, killing and defending in the army. The proposal he just gave to Brigude is indeed the best way at present.

Although Brigude knew this was the truth, he didn't agree with him. His cavalry was now trapped in the small urn city, unable to use it at all, and they were all crowded into a pile.If you don't evacuate at this time, I'm afraid you will have to confess here by then.

So Bu Rigude ignored Gu Xu and insisted on leaving Miyun City.Gu Xu had no choice but to escape Miyun with Bu Rigude.

After Brigude withdrew from the city, he took his men and horses and retreated beyond the range of the bow and arrow before stopping.Brigude turned around and found that Gu Xu escaped with him.Brigud didn't have any scruples now, and immediately sent an order: "Come here, tie up this spy for me."

Hearing Buzhigude's order, several Tatars immediately came forward to tie Gu Xu tightly. These Tatars had lost hundreds of people in the urn of Miyun City just now, so now they treat Gu Xu Xu was not polite, and when tying him up, he punched and kicked him from time to time.

When Gu Xu saw this situation, his ghosts froze. He thought that Bu Rigude was going to kill him to vent his anger, so he shouted: "General, wait a moment. I know the defense of Miyun City very well. As long as the general spares my life, I will definitely kill him." Help the general take this city."

When Brigude heard his words, his heart was moved. What this man said was very reasonable. If he knew the truth of the other party, it would be much easier to attack the city, so he ordered his soldiers not to abuse him anymore. Take the men and horses back to the camp.

Bu Rigude took Gu Xu outside Arslen Khan's big tent, and let his soldiers go in to report.After a while, Arslen Khan's order came from the personal soldiers, asking him to go in and answer.

When Brigude entered the big tent, he saw Arslen Khan sitting in the center and other generals standing on both sides.

When Arslen Khan saw Bu Rigude come in, he asked, "Then, is Gu Xu a real surrender or a fake surrender? Has Miyun City been taken?"

Burigude immediately fell to his knees and reported to Arslen Khan, "Great Khan, Gu Xu really wants to surrender."

"Oh, that's really God helping me, so you are in Miyun City now, right?" Arslen Khan showed a smile on his face.

Bu Rigude knelt on the ground and said anxiously: "Khan, although Gu Xu really surrendered, Miyun City is not in our hands."

Arslen Khan was taken aback by what he said, and then asked: "How do you say this? Didn't Gu Xu surrender the city? Could there be any changes?"

Bu Rigude had no choice but to tell Arslen Khan everything about Zhou Wu's assassination and how they were driven out of Miyun City.

After hearing his words, Arslen Khan sighed for a while: "Although the Southern Dynasty has such soft bones as Gu Xu, there are countless righteous men in the country."

Arslen Khan then said to the generals on both sides: "Now you understand why I dare not annex the Southern Dynasty at once? If I have that kind of thought now, even if I can take the Southern Dynasty, I am afraid that there will be endless resistance everywhere, not to mention Jia Ke in Xuanfu Town is not a vegetarian either. When we are trapped in the Southern Dynasty, even if we go back, we will suffer heavy losses. By then, how many of us Tatars will be left."

The generals and leaders under the tent are completely convinced by Arslen Khan at this time. The wisdom of their sweat is like the sun in the sky, and it is not something they can ponder at all.When they were still confused, they had already figured out all the details and strategies. In this world, only Jia Ke from Xuanfu Town could rival their sweat.

After Arslen Khan finished speaking, he sent an order below: "Bring Gu Xu up."

Gu Xu was led into the big tent. He looked up and saw a young man in his 20s sitting in the center of the big tent, and other generals were waiting on both sides.He understood at once that the man in the middle was the Great Khan of the Tartars.

So he knelt down on the ground as soon as he entered the big tent, and cried loudly: "Khan, I was wronged. I really wanted to surrender, but I didn't expect that there would be a traitor under my command. Otherwise, I would have asked Khan to sit in the city now. "

After hearing what he said, Arslen Khan immediately got up and came to him, untied him personally, and then said kindly: "General, don't blame yourself, this time it's just a villain. Wait until the army breaks through Miyun. Naturally avenge the general."

As he spoke, he personally helped him to the side of his throne, and asked someone to arrange a seat for him and ask him to sit down.

Chapter 208 Preparation

Arslen Khan asked Gu to sit down again before returning to his seat.He asked with a pleasant face: "The general is the chief general of Miyun, so he must know the defense of Miyun very well. I wonder what the general can teach me?"

Gu Xu was flattered at this time, and thought that the Tatars would be ruthless, and he might lose his life.I didn't expect that the Great Khan not only didn't blame him, but treated him with respect and courtesy.Although he knew it in his heart, it was because the other party thought that he still had value to use.But after the fear just now and the huge difference from now, Gu Xu couldn't help being excited.

Hearing the Khan's question, he got up quickly and said, "Khan, I know the defense of Miyun very well. There are not many soldiers in the city, and there are many shortages of equipment. As long as the Khan leads the attack, he will surround the city on all sides and attack together." , don’t give Miyun a chance to breathe, and the opponent’s soldiers are not many, and they are scattered on the four walls. In this way, each wall has only one or two thousand people. As long as the sweat is not stingy with troops, the city can be broken within three to five days.”

Arslen Khan was a little puzzled by what he said, so he asked bluntly: "Miyun is an important city in the north, how can there be only such a force? Why is there such a shortage of equipment?"

Hearing Arslen Khan's question, Gu Xu couldn't help feeling a little hot on his face, and murmured, not knowing how to answer, and finally he could only murmur: "It's because the imperial court doesn't have enough food, and the soldiers below have to live. , so the generals under me can only eat empty pay to maintain everyone's combat effectiveness." After speaking, his face felt hot, and finally he lowered his head and dared not look at Arslen Khan, fearing that the other party would be disappointed with him.

Arslen Khan is also a fine man, you can tell what's going on by looking at his expression.The evaluation of Gu Xu has dropped to the extreme. If it is not the time for employing people, he would have been pushed out to kill him long ago.What such a person wants in the future is to become the leader of his own tribe, so his own tribe doesn't know what kind of abuse he will receive.

Gu Xu also knew that the Tatar Khan's evaluation of him would definitely decline, so he felt that he should make up for his mistakes, so he handed over to Arslen Khan and said, "Khan, there is a serious shortage of arrows in Miyun City, only about [-] to [-]. As for the rolling wood and lightning stones, there is even a shortage, even if the opponent's new general is extremely capable, he can't defend Miyun City, the Great Khan can just send troops to go there tomorrow, and it will take a few days to break through."
