It took at least a month to travel from the capital to the besieged city, and when we arrived in Guangdong and Guangxi, we had to march with 23 soldiers and horses. No matter how hard we went, it would take us until September.Along the way, Piangoutou and Guo Shang were very worried about the impoverished situation in the city, so they rushed day and night, and they arrived on August [-] abruptly.

The first marching army scouted out the enemy's camp early, and the army stationed further away, preparing to attack the besieged city defenders on both sides.

Today Naigou Tou and Guo Shang entered the trapped city, intending to contact Xiao Lue, and then agree on when to start the war.Unexpectedly, when the two of them went outside the besieged city, they felt that the atmosphere was really weird.

What they expected was that the enemy troops outside the city were heavily guarded, and the defenders inside the city were at war.In short, it is definitely not what you see in front of you. There are several big pots set up on the city wall, rolling them to eat, and frying slices of meat on iron plates... The enemy soldiers under the city looked up at the city wall together, shouting from time to time: "I want two A bunch of lettuce, a bunch of chicken sausages, more soup. More soup!"

Then the soldiers on the city wall took a bamboo tube and put two sticks in it, and filled it with a spoonful of soup from the pot with a big spoon, and then hung down a bamboo tube and a basket.The little soldier who just called out puts two big cakes on it and takes away the bamboo tube, which can be said to be very harmonious.

This, is this a sleepy city?

Gou Tou and Guo Shangshang looked at each other in blank dismay.

It was Guo Shang who looked familiar, and the two of them looked at each other and hesitated, and the enemy recognized it.After all, among a group of enemy troops who were staring at the besieged city, there were two people who were not staring at the city, which was not right, so this place suddenly became a riot.The same is true for the enemy army, as soon as they saw Guo Shang, from the Dali Dynasty, they immediately attacked without saying a word.

As soon as the fight started here, the city gate immediately noticed it.

Zhu Hongyi hurriedly shouted to stop, and by the way asked the enemy lieutenant who was waiting for the fried meat to stop quickly.After all, the commanders of the two armies are in friendly peace talks in the city, and it is not right for the subordinates outside to fight against each other.

Gou Tou and Guo Shang thought that Zhu Hongyi had rebelled and was going to fight the enemy to the death, but the enemy deputy general rode over and ordered his subordinates not to do anything, and then said to Gou Tou and Guo Shang: "Our general is negotiating peace with General Xiao in the besieged city. , you might as well wait."

peace talks?

Gou Tou and Guo Shang are really more and more confused.Seeing that the enemy army really did not stop him, Guo Shang watched them run to the city gate with vigilance and shouted: "Zhu Hongyi, I have brought reinforcements, food and grass, as well as an imperial edict. Please hurry up and ask General Xiao to receive the edict!"

Reinforcement and food were originally what the defenders of the besieged city wanted wholeheartedly. Now I don't know why the people at the city gate are calm anyway, and continue to sell food in an orderly manner without any delay.

Zhu Hongyi ordered a small soldier to report back to the city, shouting all the way: "Reinforcements are here, food and grass are here..."

The people in the besieged city were happy when they heard it. After all, the arrival of reinforcements meant that the siege was over and they could go out to earn money.Although it is not bad now, but to be honest, they are really tired of eating meat, vegetables, and big pancakes, and want to go out of the city!

Enemy: Bored?hehe.

Gou Tou and Guo Shang waited in a strange mood, surrounded by the enemy's lieutenant general, behind them were tens of thousands of enemy troops, in front of them was the bustling food business, and under their feet was the battlefield of the besieged city...

Fortunately, not long after, Xiao Lue, Song Wen, and the enemy general appeared on the city gate together.

Goutou immediately held up the imperial decree and shouted: "The emperor has a decree, order Xiao Lue to be the general in front of the battle, and lead an army of [-] from Guangdong, Guangxi, kill the enemy and retreat!"

Xiao Lue stood still, very calm: "The minister leads the decree!"

It was Zheng Zhengbiao who was very excited, his face was so dark right now, Xiao Lue was the general in front of the battle, so he was a head shorter than Xiao Lue.They didn't take themselves seriously at first, and they won't in the future.

Immediately said: "Gou Tou, I order you to go to the capital to report that Xiao Lue and Song Wen colluded with the enemy, openly let the enemy's general enter the city, and detained this general privately. Xiao Lue and Song Wen treasoned the country. Forced by the situation, I order you to take down Xiao Lue, Song Wen, and a group of people in the besieged city! Wait for the emperor to make a decision in the future!"

Although Gou Tou felt that the situation was weird, but looking at Zheng Zhengbiao who was talking nonsense, he still showed the expression of you fucking idiot!

Everyone knew that Gou Tou followed Xiao Lue back to the capital without saying a word, and he didn't even want to be a military officer, so he followed Xiao Lue to be a steward of the general's mansion. He was obviously Xiao Lue's person, and he ordered Gou Tou to take Xiao Lue down?

Everyone at the city gate also looked at Zheng Zhengbiao like you are an idiot, and the enemy general laughed and said, "If you, General Zheng, guarded the city, I would have taken the besieged city early!"

Xiao Lue said: "You don't have this chance."

The enemy general nodded: "I think it's not bad right now."

Xiao Lue has a sacred decree, and the emperor personally appointed the former general. He is now the biggest general in the besieged city. He immediately stood on the gate of the besieged city and said loudly: "Everyone obeys the order, the two countries are about to start peace talks. , so the two armies stand still. When the peace talks are over, we will fight if we want to fight!"

The enemy general followed suit and added: "Everyone retreat ten miles and set up camp!"

The enemy's besieging soldiers and horses moved quickly, lined up, and immediately retreated.

After they pushed out ten miles away, Xiao Lue gave another order: "Open the city gate!"

The defenders at the city gate responded and opened the city gate!

"The city gate is open?!"

"The city gate really opened..."

The people in the besieged city rushed out of the city gate one after another, cheering and jumping.But as soon as he rushed out, he saw that the enemy lieutenant hadn't left, and his feet retracted all of a sudden.Then, when he saw Gou Tou and Guo Shang, he tentatively ran out a few more steps, seeing them all smiling and looking at him, and the people immediately burst into laughter again!

The enemy general asked Song, "I'll wait for your peace envoy."

"Okay." Song Wen nodded, "Please also send your peace talks over as soon as possible."

The general of the enemy army complied, and had a happy chat with Song Wen and Xiao Lue. He was sent out of the besieged city, and rode away with the lieutenant general.

Zheng Zhengbiao watched them retreat for ten miles, and watched Xiao Lue order to open the city gate. He felt that he had witnessed an act of blatant treason with his own eyes. persecute yourself.

Of course, he didn't forget to write the last memorial, so he participated in Xiao Lue and Song Wen's copy.

In the capital.

The emperor kept the battle of the trapped city a secret before, only the military department, the household department and himself knew, and they discussed the war after going to court all day long.Because the besieged city was besieged, the news could not be delivered, and the capital had not received news for more than a month.

After the emperor went to great lengths to make Xiao Lue a general, he dispatched troops from Guangdong and Guangxi, as well as food and grass, to the besieged city, and everyone in the imperial court knew about it.

It's just that there is still no news uploaded from the official road to the capital.The news from the emperor's personal guards came back regularly, saying that Xiao Lue broke into the besieged city; Song Wen arrived at the besieged city together; circle; there is a weapon that can explode when burned with fire and arrows in a trapped city... Song Wen sells food on the city wall...

At the beginning, the news was very exciting. After all, when they heard that the besieged city was besieged, the courtiers were very anxious. The news could not come out or come in. They were all waiting for Xiao Lue to break the predicament.

Later, when the news came, they were also relieved a lot.In the court hall, there was a heated discussion about the matter of reinforcements, food and grass. I was afraid that Guangdong and Guangxi would send too many troops.The point is that the Ministry of Household Affairs really can't mobilize so much food and grass...

There is too little news from the court, but there are endless debates.

It's just that when the news came later, they looked at the emperor in the wrong way. They always felt that the emperor's guards had heard the wrong news?

This Song Wen made bamboo tube rice and vegetable porridge on the city gate, that's all, anyway, Song Wen was a bad guy in their hearts, and they could accept any bad things.

But General Xiao, who climbed up to the position of general with great military exploits all the way, attacked the enemy's pigsty at night?What's this? !

What other weapons use fire arrows to ignite explosions?If there was such a weapon, how could the besieged city be besieged as soon as Xiao Lue left?It can't be that Xiao Lue built it in the capital for his own sake, right?Could it be that Xiao Lue wants to rebel like the prince? !

All of a sudden, the court became fierce. Those who opposed Xiao Lue's rebellion, taking the prince as an example, said that Xiao Lue would definitely rebel.

Later, there was another news, but it was that Song Wen was selling food at the city gate, and the point was that there were still people buying it!The courtiers all felt that they were not listening to the battle reports from the front line!They all hoped that Song Wen would go to the trapped city. It would be better for the enemy to stab him with a knife and bury his bones in the trapped city. After all, swords have no eyes on the battlefield, but not only did he not die, he even sold food to the enemy. up?

At that moment, the courtiers quickly came to visit Song Wen, saying that Song Wen must have surrendered to the enemy!

Those who devoted themselves to the questioning of the Song Dynasty immediately "colluded" with the courtiers who said that Prince Xiao Luuexue was rebelling, saying that the two must be in collusion with the enemy country, and asked the emperor to quickly order to send other people to the trapped city to quell the chaos.

Who to send, this is a new question!

Every day in the court, there is a lot of quarrel.

At the end of August, reinforcements finally arrived in the besieged city.The battle report became official again, and Zheng Zhengbiao's excerpts - Shen Xiaolue and Song Wen - were sent directly in early September.

This Zheng Zhengbiao can become the great general who will succeed Xiao Lue in guarding the besieged city, and he also has some influence in the court. His passbook arrived with Xiao Lue's, but the one who handed the passbook withdrew Xiao Lue's first, and gave it to Zheng Zhengbiao's ancestor sent up.

So the emperor and courtiers saw that the battle report was sent by Zheng Zhengbiao.

He counted Xiao Lue and Song Wen in the booklet, holding the token of the first emperor to frighten himself every day, and he did not fight in the besieged city, and did not want to break out of the siege and turn the besieged city into a "smelly city".Moreover, Song Wen was also doing business with the enemy army. In order to facilitate Song Wen's business, Xiao Lue openly colluded with the enemy general and invited the enemy general to enter the city. Stationed abroad, the gates of the besieged city are opened, and the enemy troops come in and out every day...

In the end, Zheng Zhengbiao cried bitterly on the zhezi and said: "Your Majesty, the besieged city has become the city of the enemy army. How can it still be the city of our Dali Dynasty! The minister is incompetent and ashamed of the emperor. Now he is under house arrest and cannot be the emperor. Share your worries! Your Majesty, please send troops to arrest Song Wen and Xiao Lue, these two traitors!"

Courtier: Song Wen is really amazing!Far away in a besieged city, you can still be accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason!It is simply a county magistrate through the ages!
