Chapter 57: Saving the General 8

Mu Ran also said, "After you leave here, just pretend nothing happened. If anyone asks you what the general said, just say you were kicked out without even seeing the general. But you can be sure that the general is indeed with me."

The sergeant was puzzled and asked, "Why is this happening? Wouldn't this make the general's reputation even worse? Wouldn't this allow the enemy's evil plan to succeed?"

Ling Huaifeng said: "Just do what the military advisor asks you to do. The military advisor has his own arrangements, so you can rest assured. Okay, go back quickly and don't let people suspect you."

Although he was confused, the sergeant still chose to believe and walked back.

After the sergeant guarding the city left, He Zhiqiu sent someone to quietly follow the sergeant guarding the city back to his home and guard outside his house.

Sure enough, not long after the sergeant guarding the city returned home, a man came to the sergeant's house stealthily.

He looked at the unharmed sergeant walking back with a puzzled expression.

But he soon softened his expression and walked into the NCO's house.

The sergeant looked at him and his expression suddenly looked a little strange.

Seeing the sergeant's expression when he saw that something was wrong with him, and seeing that the sergeant came out of the young master's residence unharmed, this person guessed that the sergeant might have discovered that something was wrong with him.

His expression changed immediately, and he was about to deal with the sergeant, but at this moment, someone suddenly appeared and took him down.

After seeing off the sergeants guarding the city, Mu Ran and his companions continued to discuss recent events.

They were recently using the treasures they had found to recruit soldiers and prepare food and fodder, and they had just completely solved these problems two days ago. As a result, they found that rumors were already spreading in the city, and they ignored the rumors in order to catch the person behind it. Now was the time to resolve this matter.

After they finished their discussion, the person sent by He Zhiqiu came back with a person. It turned out to be the person sent by the rebels to disrupt people's hearts.

This man had shifty eyes and confessed everything when asked, so He Zhiqiu had him taken away for interrogation.

Mu Ran said: "Now that this man has fallen, rumors are spreading in the city. I'm afraid the enemy army will be unable to sit still."

Ling Huaifeng: "We are just waiting for them to get impatient. We have been preparing for so long and it is time to show our strengths and make them happy."

Sure enough, after he said this, a soldier came to report, "General, the enemy has attacked the city gate again. This time it is not a provocation. The enemy is numerous, and I am afraid they are ready to really attack."

Mu Ran and the others looked at each other and thought, "It's just as you expected, sir."

Sure enough, after several days of provocation, the other party finally found out most of the information and attacked.

He Zhiqiu led his deputy general and his men to fight.

In the first battle, under the leadership of He Zhiqiu, our side directly took the head of the enemy's leader and won the first victory.

With such morale, good news came for several days in a row.

The false rumors in the city were also dispelled by such good news. Soldiers and civilians alike said, "The general is indeed a general. He will never give up justice for the sake of his children's personal feelings."

At this time, He Zhiqiu was leading his deputy general and his original soldiers, and they were getting more and more excited. They were about to enter the enemy's hinterland and there was a possibility of regaining the lost territory.

Just at this time, the enemy reinforcements suddenly increased, trapping He Zhiqiu, Ling Huaifeng and others in a valley, preventing them from entering or leaving.

When this news reached the city, the soldiers and officers guarding the city began to get anxious. After all, the enemy's reinforcements were too astonishing.

It was simply like the other party had set a trap to lure their general forward. With the number of soldiers they had stationed in the city, let alone supporting the general, if the enemy attacked now, they would probably lose the city.

Finally, under such an urgent situation, the non-commissioned officers guarding the city decided to report the matter to the court and request the court to send additional personnel to resolve the current crisis at the border.

During this period, another rumor spread in the city, saying that the general was going to be trapped and killed in the valley by the enemy, and everyone was asked to escape quickly. However, everyone believed in the general's ability, so it did not cause too much panic.

More than ten days passed, and people's hearts began to become less firm.

The sergeants guarding the city also sent several letters to the imperial court for help during this period, but after so many days, not only did they not receive any reinforcements from the imperial court, they did not even receive a single reply, and they had not even seen the food and fodder that was supposed to be delivered. The sergeants guarding the city were also worried.

Dozens of days passed before they waited again, but there was no sign of reinforcements at all, the food supplies in the city were almost cut off, and there was no sign of the people delivering food supplies.

The soldiers and civilians were in extreme panic. Mu Ran watched the people in the city hurriedly packing their luggage and preparing to flee, and he didn't say much.

Instead, the servant who served him said, "Madam, I wonder how the general is doing? The people are panicking and starting to pack their bags to flee. We..."

Mu Ran looked at the anxious servant and said, "The general has been trapped in the valley for more than a month. I and the officers guarding the city have sent dozens of letters for help, but there has not been a single reply, let alone support and food.

The situation is critical now. If you have an idea, you can pack your bags and leave with the people. You still have time before the enemy attacks the city."

The servant seemed to be persuaded by Mu Ran. He said, "What about you, Madam? Why don't you leave with me?"

Mu Ran said, "I will stay here until the general comes back."

The servant may think that Mu Ran is fanciful and said: "If the general can't come back, what should you do? Otherwise, you should leave with me."

Mu Ran just said calmly: "If the general can't come back, then I will also stay here to guard the general until the last moment of my life. That's it. If you don't want to say more to me, hurry up and go."

The servant seemed anxious as well. Without saying anything more, he quickly packed his luggage and hurried away with the fleeing people.

After He Zhiqiu was trapped in the valley for more than ten days, the border was about to be lost.

However, neither the soldiers sent to the capital to deliver the letter nor the letter received a reply, and no rescue troops or food appeared.

At this time, the only ones still guarding the city were the soldiers who followed He Zhiqiu and Mu Ran and others. The rest fled with the people.

At this time, the enemy thought that He Zhiqiu was at the end of his strength. After all, he had been trapped in the valley for more than a month without any rescue or food. They also relaxed their vigilance and thought that they would be able to capture He Zhiqiu this time.

The enemy generals thought that He Zhiqiu and his soldiers must be trapped in the valley with no food and wild beasts rampant. Their numbers were probably decreasing sharply, and the remaining people could only eat wild grass and tree roots in the valley. They were ready to capture He Zhiqiu and others in one fell swoop, and now they were just waiting for an opportunity.
