Dare to Believe the Country and Live Up to Your Honor Ⅲ

After Ge Min entered the city, he found that there was no one in the city. He looked at the deserted streets in doubt. He knew that Dingchuan had always been deserted, but there were not even guards and soldiers there.But it's already bright day, why is there no one there?

"General, what's going on here?" Deputy General Zhao Xun looked around suspiciously and asked.

"I don't know, could it be that the Nanxia army has already come?" Ge Min guessed, but it shouldn't be, all of this doesn't look like the city was slaughtered, and no one shouted so many times at the city gate just now He came to open the door, but in the end he had to use a ladder to get in. What is going on?

"I don't know if the Nanxia army that we defeated at the Great Wall when we came just now has anything to do with this incident?" Zhao Xun suddenly remembered the Nanxia army that was killed by the trench bridge last night. Dead, if not, you can still ask one or two questions now.

"do not know."

"General, it's better to let the subordinates look around." Zhao Xun led the people to walk in all directions.

When Gongsun Mingyue gathered all the people and came to the city, he was surprised to see the shadow of the army on the city wall. Could it be that Ponce and the others haven't done it yet?He turned his head and gave Qiu'er a wink, and Qiu'er stepped forward knowingly and shouted: "The people upstairs heard clearly, we are under the command of General Nan Xiasun, if you are familiar, open the city gate to welcome us into the city, otherwise we will go to the city immediately." In a short time, you will be turned into ashes."

Suddenly there was commotion on the city wall. In fact, Gongsun Mingyue wanted to remind the people in the city to escape quickly. They had already arrived, but seeing the way the soldiers danced their hands, it seemed that they wanted to fight to the death. What is going on? thing?Gongsun Mingyue is getting more and more strange.

"Mr. Sun, don't talk nonsense with these people, we just let the Poxi Army break down their gates." The Nanxia General Xu Haonan who was beside Gongsun Mingyue said viciously.

Hearing what he said, Gongsun Mingyue smiled contemptuously and thought: how many court people do you want to harm us?

Seeing that Gongsun Mingyue didn't let go, Xu Haonan couldn't say anything more. He turned his head and looked at the city wall angrily, wishing he could go up and kill him right away.

Soon, the gate opened, the city bridge was put down, and a strange general came out. Gongsun Mingyue had never seen it before. Qiu'er turned her head to look at Gongsun Mingyue, but saw Gongsun Mingyue shaking her head gently.

The strange general, holding a long knife in his hand, stood by the long bridge on horseback, and shouted loudly: "I am Zhao Xun, the deputy general under General Chao Tingge, and I have come to show you General Sun's ability. Let you enter the city, if not, then forgive us for not being able to open the door and enter the dog."

Ge Min has been stationed in the frontier all the year round, and this time he returned to Bianliang because of his father's affairs, so he didn't know Gongsun Mingyue, and naturally his subordinates didn't know Gongsun Mingyue either, which seemed to Gongsun Mingyue to be safe and sound, but this time It was completely different from the previous plan. At this moment, he panicked and didn't know what to do.

When General Xu Haonan heard this, he was furious, and before Gongsun Mingyue gave orders, he rode forward and said aggressively to Zhao Xun, "Who do you call a dog?"

"Whoever agrees is the one who says." Zhao Xun said with a slight smile, looking at General Xu Haonan.

"You..." General Xu Haonan's face turned purple with anger, and he wished he could finish the other party by going up.

Gongsun Mingyue wanted to laugh when he heard Zhao Xun's words, but he couldn't show it, so he could only hold back his smile and said to General Xu Haonan: "I think Xu Haonan is up to you to try this General Zhao's ability."

Xu Haonan, who was instructed by Gongsun Mingyue, immediately picked up the iron halberd in his hand, clamped the horse's belly and rushed towards Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun looked at the menacing Xu Haonan, smiled contemptuously, picked up the long knife and rushed out.

As far as the shots of the two are concerned, Gongsun Mingyue can't tell who is stronger and who is weaker, but this is the first time he has truly experienced the rivalry on the battlefield. He really understands why war is cruel, and why Ponce wants to protect the people even if he takes his own life.

Gongsun Mingyue rode up to Qiu'er and asked softly, "Who do you think will win among them?"

While staring at the battle between the two, Qiu'er said softly: "I think that General Xu Haonan probably has the upper hand just now, but now after a few rounds, his offensive against Zhao Xun is almost overwhelmed." , I think that Zhao Xun should be trying to lure the enemy at first, but General Xu Haonan is too aggressive, so he will naturally fall for the opponent's set."

As soon as Qiu'er finished speaking, she heard Xu Haonan screaming and falling from the horse to the ground, bleeding profusely all over her body, and looking back at Zhao Xun, although she also saw redness, but it was all external injuries, harmless, in such a situation, It is clear at a glance who wins and who loses.

Seeing that General Xu Haonan was defeated, Gongsun Mingyue couldn't help saying hello, but since he is from Nanxia, ​​he naturally couldn't show it, so he pretended to shout at the soldiers behind: "Come on."

The Nanxia army rushed forward, and the scene was extremely chaotic. Under the cover of Qiu'er, Gongsun Mingyue fled to a safe place. Looking at the fight in front of him, he hoped that the imperial army could kill more Nanxia troops, but And he didn't want the Nanxia army to die too much, he was afraid that Li Binghao would not believe him then.

As he was watching, General Xu Haonan crawled up to him covered in blood and said, "General Sun, we are too few and we are no match for the Song army. I think we should withdraw first and wait for me to deliver a letter to the emperor. Could you send more reinforcements?"

Gongsun Mingyue didn't ask Li Binghao for too many troops at the beginning, and she wanted to act according to her plan in advance, but now it seems that this plan is going to fail, because those armors and weapons that Xu Haonan once suspected have changed at this moment. It became the imperial court's plan to sow discord, which ruined Gongsun Mingyue's plan to make Qianguo and Nanxia enmity.

Gongsun Mingyue had to withdraw his troops. First, he had to think carefully about his next plan. Second, he didn't know what Pang Ce would do next in the city, whether he would conflict with Ge Min's team, but if he really did If there is a conflict, it will be troublesome.So he has to think about it, he has to think about it, and come up with a good way to get the best of both worlds.

He didn't understand how Ge Min came to Dingchuan Village. Logically speaking, Pang Ce should have already arranged these things, but why did these reinforcements come to such a small place as Dingchuan Village?

Gongsun Mingyue didn't understand, neither did Pang Ce. At this time, he was listening to Lu Liang in the secret room about the situation outside.

"General, my subordinates have seen clearly, it is General Ge and General Zhao."

"Didn't they go to Weizhou? Why did they come to Dingchuan village?" Pang Ce couldn't help being surprised when he heard this. He stood up with an ominous premonition in his body and mind.

"This subordinate doesn't understand. Maybe General Zhu's letter was not delivered, or he didn't make it clear?" Lu Liang guessed.

"Impossible, Suzaku won't be so sloppy." Pon Ce shook his head resolutely. He knew Suzaku too well, and he would never make such a fatal mistake.

Pang Ce paced back and forth in the secret room while thinking about what to do next. He didn't understand the purpose of Ge Min's coming here, but he knew that he must not go out at this moment, otherwise it would not only ruin Gongsun Mingyue's major event, but also Charged with passively resisting the enemy, now Zhao Zhenchou has no excuse to kill himself. If he is given a chance now, then he will die.

Of course, no one knew the purpose of Ge Min's coming here, because Zhao Zhen told him this purpose himself, and no one knew except him.

……

"I hope you can set up troops in Dingchuan village." Zhao Zhen said calmly, looking at Ge Min.

"Why? Isn't it time to reinforce Weizhou? Dingchuanzhai is just a small place, and it is impossible for a large army to station troops." Ge Min asked suspiciously.

"I have seen the map. Dingchuanzhai is a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. With it, Weizhou will be much safer, so it can be regarded as a barrier for Weizhou. I think Li Binghao is not an idiot. They will want to attack. If calculated according to the current garrison, they are definitely not Nanxia's opponents. You can support Dingchuan Village if you go there, and then..." Zhao Zhen stopped talking suddenly and looked at Ge Min in silence.

"Secondly, what?" Ge Min didn't know why.

"Secondly, I hope you will reinforce Weizhou depending on the situation, and if necessary, you can passively slack off and let Pang Ce fend for himself." Zhao Zhen said meaningfully, looking into the distance.

"The emperor wants to..." Ge Min finally understood Zhao Zhen's meaning. It turned out that the Dingchuan village was not only used to deal with Nanxia Li Binghao, but also used to deal with Pang Ce.

Zhao Zhen glanced at him, turned around and walked towards the dragon chair, and said as he walked, "I hope you know what happened this time, and if others find out, you should know the consequences."

"I understand that I must strictly keep the secret and make sure to complete the task." Ge Min cupped his hands and said.

"Is Old General Ge okay?" Zhao Zhen sat on the dragon chair and asked casually.

"Thanks to the emperor's blessing, my father is still in good health." Ge Min said.

"That's good. When you return triumphantly, I will clean up the dust for you with General Ge." Zhao Zhen glanced at him and continued, "You don't have to worry about the old general. After you set off, I will take the old The general will be taken into the palace, and there will be someone to take care of him, so you can rest assured and go on your way."

Ge Min is not stupid, he knows what it means, and if he fails, his father will probably lose his life, but how can he disobey the imperial decree?

Thinking of this, Ge Min sighed deeply, stood up and walked out.

The conflict between the emperor and Pang Ce has not lasted for a day or two. Even when the country hates family feuds, they still do not forget to plot against each other. From Yan Xi's assassination to the current deployment of troops in Dingchuan, according to the situation, it can be seen that this battle will last for a while. It can't be over.

Ge Min didn't want to get involved in the fight between them, he just wanted to live peacefully and retire smoothly, so he didn't bring most of the troops with him. Firstly, Dingchuanzhai was too small for a large army to camp, and secondly, He is not interested in the conflict between the emperor and Ponce, what he cares about is how to deploy the army is the best for the battle.

"General." Zhao Xun called out, waking Ge Min out of his thoughts. He looked up at Zhao Xun's concerned eyes, and smiled awkwardly, "How is it?"

"The Nanxia Army has already been beaten away." Zhao Xun reported the achievements of the day, he did not have the slightest joy but worried on the contrary, he frowned and asked, "General, do you think this is strange?" It's weird, just as we arrived, the Nanxia army came back, but when we first arrived, this place was an empty city, don't you think it's strange?"

Ge Min looked up at him with a weird smile on his lips.
