Sang Dazhang's words left everyone confused and bewildered.

"What do you mean there is no reinforcement?" Ma Nantian asked Mr. Sang to sit down.

But the head of the Sang family did not move at all, with a cold face: "Let me be frank with you. I will never admit what I am going to say after I leave this door!"

Ma Nantian, Old Man Ma and Yuan Niang looked at each other.

Ma Nantian met the gaze of the head of the Sang family and nodded solemnly: "I swear on the lives of all the members of the Ma family that this matter will be kept secret!"

Sang Da Dang curled his lips unremittingly: "I hope you can do what you say."

Sang Da spoke very quickly, as if he was afraid that people would find out that he had come to the Ma family: "I was drinking with the city lord today, and he got drunk and told me a shocking secret."

Ma Nantian asked: "What secret?"

"Someone in the Great Zhou royal court is colluding with the enemy. Some time ago, someone sent over the Yunzhou army's defense map."

Bang!

Mr. Ma loosened his grip, and the teapot in his hand fell to the ground, breaking into pieces: "Collaborating with the enemy?"

Then, Mr. Ma's eyes turned red, and anger burned in his eyes: "At this moment of life and death, there are still people who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?!"

The head of the Sang family was full of sarcasm. "What's the big deal? Back then, God of War Gu was unstoppable, but in the end, he was defeated by the Zhou Dynasty. Killing someone with a borrowed knife is always the specialty of the Zhou Dynasty!"

Sang Da's words were ruthless, but his eyes were moist: "Today, you are still talking about serving the country with all your heart! What is the need to be loyal to a court like this?"

Ma Nantian bowed deeply to the head of the Sang family and said, "Thank you for telling us about this!"

Ma Nantian knew clearly that it would be a huge risk for Mr. Sang to report the news late at night!

No matter what he says, this is actually a righteous act!

Sang Da Dang slightly turned to the side, refusing to accept Ma Nantian's greeting: "You people are always like this, putting others on a pedestal, making people want to die for you! I won't be fooled by you!"

Head Sang turned his head away and didn't look at the Ma family: "Just now, I also received news that the left army Gu Hai planned to raid Wuzhou, but was ambushed."

Headmaster Sang took a breath and said quickly, "Zuo Xian Wang intends to trap Gu Hai to death and delay time, while Wanyan Wushu will lead 20,000 to 30,000 people to bypass the Yunzhou Left Army and go to Fuming Town!"

"It would be best if we can capture Fuming Town, but if we can't, we have to cut off the food supply."

Mr. Ma calmed down and said calmly, "The general should send troops to defend."

The mockery on Sang Da's face became more intense, but deep sorrow rose in his eyes: "Yunzhou only has 5,000 soldiers guarding it. Because the Emperor of Great Zhou promised to send 50,000 reinforcements to help defend Yunzhou. In fact, these 50,000 reinforcements will not come!"

"What do you mean there won't be any reinforcements?!" Ma Nantian's eyes were red with anger!

Even if the defense map is known to the enemy, with the general's ability, there might still be a chance to turn the situation around.

But the promised reinforcements did not arrive in Yunzhou. Wasn't this a deep stab in the back for the general? !

By then, the general and his hundreds of thousands of troops were trapped on the grassland, caught in a dilemma, attacked from all sides, and without food. Even if the God of War came, there would be nothing they could do!

Sang Da Dang hesitated to speak, and finally said cautiously: "This is the information I got, it is very credible. I won't say more, I'm leaving now."

It is a kind act that Mr. Sang is willing to take the risk and come to the Ma family.

He can't get involved in this matter any longer, lest the entire Sang family be implicated!

Ma Nantian sent Sang the Great to the gate. Sang the Great paused, and wanted to turn around and say something, but in the end he disappeared into the inky night without looking back.

Ma Nantian returned to the hall.

The three members of the Ma family looked at each other.

Yuanniang stood up and volunteered: "Father, this matter is serious, let me go and report to the general!"

Ma Nantian glanced at the room where his grandson was resting, feeling a little reluctant: "Danggui is still young. If you leave, there will be many dangers along the way. Who knows..."

A trace of tenderness and kindness flashed across Yuanniang's eyes, and then turned into a firm determination to face death.

"Father, we can't let anyone else know about this! Grandpa is too old to go, and your every move is under the surveillance of the Tartars! Only me, a woman, the Tartars will let down their guard."

Long before Ma Nantian left to see Sang Dadang off, Yuanniang had already thought of a plan: "I'll use the excuse that the child is sick and I'll stay at home to take care of the child. No one will suspect anything. Every day, civilians from Wuzhou City go out of the city to deliver food and fodder to the Tartar army. I can blend in with them."

Mr. Ma frowned and said, "Although you are a woman, you often go out to discuss business. You can't be sure that someone will recognize you."

Yuanniang smiled brilliantly, took out the hairpin on her head, and cut a long cut on her face!

Blood gushed out from the wound, looking hideous and terrifying.

"What's wrong with you? You are too impulsive!" Ma Nantian was angry and anxious. He didn't dare to call the servants loudly. He could only run to the inner room to find gauze and medicine.

Yuanniang was extremely cruel, and the wound ran from the left forehead to the chin.

Yuanniang's lips trembled uncontrollably due to the pain.

Her lips were pale, and her fingers were cramping unconsciously due to the severe pain: "Father-in-law, can you see it like this? If not, I can make another cut!"

"Enough, enough!" Ma Nantian burst into tears.

Ever since his son died, he has treated Yuanniang as his own daughter.

Seeing Yuanniang destroying her own appearance in order to deliver a message without revealing her identity, my heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

Yuanniang knelt on her knees and kowtowed three times to Ma Nantian and Old Master Ma.

She walked to the door of her son's bedroom and put down her hand that was about to push the door.

In order to ensure that the news would not leak out, Yuanniang did not bring any tokens or letters. She believed that the general would never forget her!

The next day, just after daybreak, Yuanniang, wearing a coarse cloth shirt, mixed in with the group leaving the city.

The wound on her face was treated with medicine in time, and a thin layer of blood scab formed on it.

Such a wound did not attract any strange attention when she was among the crowd.

Because many other people in the team also had disfigured faces, some with whip marks, some with knife wounds, some on the face, some on the back...

The Tatars sent hundreds of thousands of troops this time, and the logistical pressure was particularly great.

The Tartars were too busy to handle the situation, so they conscripted many civilians in Wuzhou City, and even captured women, to transport food to the front line.

"Stop, who are you? Why do you look familiar?!" A Tartar officer passing by suddenly stopped Yuan Niang who was queuing to leave the city.

The team leaving the city paused for a moment, and everyone's eyes fell on Yuanniang.

Yuanniang's heart felt like it was being grasped by a pair of huge hands, and her heartbeat was like a drum. Could it be that she was going to be recognized?
