Fu Song

Chapter 143 Reaction
(It’s not that I want to update slowly. It’s really not allowed by my body. It takes three months to recover basically, and half a year to fully recover. This time, I really hurt my vitality and suffered a big loss. We slowed down Come on slowly, first let the body get better slowly, and then let the update slowly and quickly.)
A lot of the bait was eaten away, but the prey stopped a few steps away from the trap, shaking its head and tail and laughing at the opponent's stupidity, which made Zuo Qiuming in the city reluctant to part with him even if he stopped in the cave of the city gate Liu Yan, who turned his head and looked around, was so angry.

But no matter what they thought, the opponent didn't have the slightest intention of following, instead the whole team retreated back.Apart from the fact that Zuo Qiuming in the city ordered a burst of bow and crossbow shots and achieved a little success, this time's attack undoubtedly lost his wife and lost his army.

Every elite soldier is precious to the current Zuo Qiuming.

They can die, but they must die with value. Only by far exceeding the value of their existence can they benefit the current Yanzhou City, but this attack obviously lost a lot of money.

Waves of captives and salt workers carried straw bags filled with snow and sand, stepped on the blood of their predecessors, rushed under the city wall frantically, threw down the straw bags, turned and fled.

As these straw bags pile up higher and higher, these people need to climb up to throw the straw bags on their shoulders to the designated place, which brings them more casualties.

But the defenders in the city could only watch helplessly as the hills made of grass bags on the opposite side got higher and higher.If this continues, these straw bags can pile up a gentle slope with a width of hundreds of meters and reach the top of the city under the city, and the opponent can follow this gentle slope and directly kill the city.

If Zuo Qiuming had enough troops, he would naturally be able to go out and sweep the opponents non-stop when they started, killing them in large numbers so that the opponents would not have more manpower to engage in this huge project.

But the problem was that Zuo Qiuming just didn't have enough manpower at this time.

At this time, no matter whether it is above or below the city, it is impossible to move your main force to other places and regard this place as a feint.

Without hesitation, Zuo Qiuming concentrated all his elite forces in the East City, leaving only some local group training in other places.

Standing on the tower, he could also clearly see the flags of the generals flying in the opposing camp.

Xiao Ding also concentrated all his main forces here.

Zuo Qiuming looked up at the sky, the sky was already dark, it was not a wise choice to launch an attack at night under such weather.

So the decisive battle is tomorrow.

If you stand up to tomorrow, you will surely win the final victory.

Outside the city, after Xiao Ding arranged a vigilant and on-duty team, he also ordered all the ministries to return to the camp to rest.Leaving enough manpower is to prevent the enemies in the city from going out of the city in the dark to destroy the siege slope that has been piled up with great difficulty. As long as the opponent dares to leave the city, Xiao Ding is not afraid to leave another group of enemies behind.

Outside Yanzhou City, two soldiers and horses were fighting to the death. Every moment, someone would fall into a pool of blood, but in Yan'an Mansion, which was hundreds of miles away, it was a scene of peace.

Today is New Year's Eve, and the rest of the year will be a long and rare rest period. All the officials and servants in the appeasement mansion are quick to get rid of the rest After finishing the official duties and cleaning the public hall, he sat down and waited for the moment when he was on duty.

It's time to relax!
Since the new pacifier Ma Xing took office, everyone has never had a moment of leisure. The comfort they used to have under Mr. Zhang Kuo's command can only become a memory deep in their minds.

Every day, there is endless work to do!
Those who want to hang around in the yamen are either driven to the bottom, or completely expelled from this glorious team.Others went to jail.The rest, either try to make themselves more valuable, or find a relationship and transfer away from this place.

After all, those who can leave with all their beards and tails are in the minority.Not everyone can find a backstage that can make Ma Xingma beheaded to save face.

But no matter how severe the horse's head beheaded, this is finally over a year, from tomorrow until the [-]th day of the first month of the first month of the rest period, but the rules set by the court, no matter how domineering Ma Xing is, it is impossible to cancel it outrageously.

Just after noon, quite a few officials had already sealed the big seals, just waiting for the moment when they would be on duty, so that they could get off work and go home to spend the festive season with their families.

Even those who were impatient, regardless of the cold weather outside, went to the courtyard and chatted in groups of three or four. Usually they came and went in a hurry and spoke quickly, but today they looked relaxed and laughed loudly. Lang, joy filled everyone's faces.

"Cheng Gong, Happy Chinese New Year!"

"Cheng Gong, I'm in the second year of junior high school, but I'm here to ask for a glass of water and wine!"

"Cheng Gong, and me, and me!"

Seeing Cheng Gui coming out from the inside, a large group of officials in the courtyard surrounded him.

Although Cheng Gui is just a commoner, he is Ma Xing's most trusted staff and staff. If he wants to get an official, it is actually very simple. It can be said that the status of a Beijing official is a piece of cake.

But it is said that Cheng Gui insisted not to, and only stayed by Ma Xing's side as a commoner.

Ma Xing was serious, and everyone didn't dare to get close to him, but Cheng Gui was always easy to talk to, and greeted everyone with a smile. By currying favor with the first master on Shaanxi Road, it was tantamount to flattering the comforter in disguise.

"No problem, together, together!" Cheng Gui cupped his hands with a smile.

Seeing that Cheng Gui had also come out, all the officials were relieved. It seemed that there was indeed nothing to do, otherwise this man would not have left the pacifier's office.

Everyone was enjoying themselves, but there was a sudden sound of horseshoes outside.

Everyone's complexion changed. At this time, this kind of thing is what they are most afraid of.

"Get out of the way, I'm Liu Fengkui, I want to see the pacifier!" Suddenly there was a quarrel outside, and it was the guards at the door who stopped the people.

Who is Liu Fengkui, but many officials in the courtyard have never heard of it.

But when Cheng Guiyi heard this name, his face changed drastically, and he rushed forward in three steps at a time, his movements were so vigorous that he didn't look like an old guy in his early fifties.

As soon as he rushed to the door, he saw the guy who called himself Liu Fengkui holding up an iron plaque at the guards at the gate. Seeing this iron plaque, he was not only the guard at the gate, but he even ran to the gate with Cheng Gui The officials all changed their faces.

That is a quick ride.

This person is the servant of the Imperial City Secretary. In fact, they are spies sent by the emperor in various places. These people have low official positions, and many of them are even eunuchs, but each of these people has good hands and eyes. The ability to deliver it directly to the emperor.

"Brother Feng Kui!" Cheng Gui cupped his hands.

"Mr. Cheng, is the comforter here?" Liu Fengkui asked directly.

Seeing Liu Fengkui's appearance, Cheng Gui's face showed worry: "Inside, please!"

Seeing Cheng Gui and Liu Fengkui go straight to the inner courtyard, the officials in the courtyard looked at each other in blank dismay. This does not seem to be a good omen!
Everyone stayed in the courtyard anxiously.

As expected, within half a stick of incense time, a civil servant rushed out from the inside with a look of despair on his face, looked at everyone, and said loudly: "Everyone, the holiday is cancelled. From today onwards, everyone, Board and lodging must be in the appeasement mansion, and everyone will be given half a day to go home and share with their families, and bring the cotton quilts over."

There was an uproar in the courtyard.

"Tao Master Bo, what happened? Even the annual leave has been cancelled? This has never happened before." An official shouted.

Master Tao sighed: "Everyone, Commander Xiao Dingxiao of Dingbian City led his army out of Hengshan, and has now arrived in Yanzhou City."

"What?" A group of people in the yard suddenly turned into wood sculptures and clay sculptures.

Liu Fengkui looked extremely embarrassed. He had chilblains on his face, ears, and hands to varying degrees. Especially his hands, when he was roasted on the fire, some yellow water immediately flowed out.But none of the few in the room disliked it. The news Liu Fengkui brought was too shocking.

"The Hengshan party has blocked all road exits, and anyone can only enter but not exit. I managed to get out." Liu Fengkui shook his head and said. "The army set out from Shentangbao. According to their marching speed, I'm afraid the battle has already started."

Ma Xing's face was gloomy, and he was holding a teacup in his hand. He wanted to smash it to the ground several times, but he put it down several times. As a pacifier, he didn't know anything about the generals under his command sending troops. This was simply hitting him. Fortunately, he has always been fond of Xiao Ding, giving him whatever he wants.

"Where did he get the strength to attack Yanzhou City?"

"Fan soldiers." Liu Fengkui said in a low voice: "Xiao Cheng helped his elder brother form two party troops, a cavalry of more than [-] people, called the iron kite, and another infantry of [-] people, called Bubazi. Together with the Guangrui Army and the Dingbian Army, there are over [-] regular soldiers, plus the civilian husbands who went out with the army, this team has almost [-] people."

"I'm still very clear about how many family backgrounds there are in Shentangbao." Ma Xing snorted coldly and said, "Xiao Ding is alone. Will he be benevolent if he fails to prepare? Once he fails, the [-] people can How many escaped back?"

"But since Xiao Ding did this, I'm afraid he is somewhat sure." Cheng Gui said.

"Zuo Qiuming from Yanzhou is a seasoned veteran. He doesn't need to compete with Xiao Ding for courage. As long as it drags on for a few days, Xiao Ding will definitely be unable to support himself." Ma Xing walked to the map and stared at him with wide eyes. Looking at the map. "If reinforcements arrive again, Xiao Ding may have a hard time coming back."

"Does the appeasement envoy want to help him?" Cheng Gui walked to the map and asked in a low voice.

"Punishing him is also a matter after the war." Ma Xing glanced at Cheng Gui, "Deqian, you should immediately prepare an order. The entire Suide army will be dispatched to Longzhou, and the security army will approach Hongzhou. No matter what The enemies in these two places cannot be allowed to spare their troops to aid Yanzhou. Tell them, don’t talk to me about difficulties or conditions, what I want is the result.”
