Shu Blossoms

Chapter 72
Outside the tent, when the cold wind blew, He Lai woke up and remembered what he had promised to Tuobayu, his face became bitter, and then flashed a look of resentment, "What are you dragging, you are just a prince who has fallen out of favor, what's so great! "

In the tent, after He Lai had left, a general spat at the door and scolded, "What a dog fights against people!"

"Isn't it just relying on the man in the palace to gain power? Make him look good sooner or later!"

Tuoba Yu stared blankly at He Lai's leaving figure. After a long while, he interrupted everyone's complaints and said coldly, "Pu Lan, continue what you just said."

He Lai's little general who heard the words hurriedly said: "It's a general! There is no mountain barrier around Qingzhou City, and the city is surrounded by city walls. The gate, after investigation by the scouts, the weakest city gate is the South Gate, but to bypass the South Gate, you must pass through Banyang County and go around Linqu. Moreover, it is too close to Muling Pass, and there should be left guards at Muling Pass. Da Zhou's reinforcements also passed through Muling Pass as usual, if we can't attack in a short time, we are afraid that we will be easily attacked by Da Zhou's army on both sides."

"Mulingguan" Tuobayu said slowly, he was really impressed by this place, it was here that he lost to that Xiao Yucheng last time, and was tricked by that little girl.

"The best way is actually to divide troops to defend Muling Pass and block their reinforcements outside Muling Pass, so that ours can have more time to attack the city!"

The general called Pulan suggested.

Another general objected, "We only brought 5 people with us on this trip. The rest of the army was detained by them in Yanzhou. I don't know when they will arrive. If we divide our troops, it will be difficult to capture Qingzhou City."

All the generals in the tent looked up at Tuobayu, waiting for his orders.

Tuoba Yu pondered for a moment, then stood up for a long time and ordered, "Divided [-] troops to the south gate of Qingzhou overnight, and attacked from the north and south to attack the city within three days!"

"Hey!" The generals answered loudly, and then acted overnight.

The Wei army moved very quickly and carefully, but within an hour, 2 people quietly left the camp and quietly went around to the south gate of Qingzhou.

At the end of the ugly time, Zhao Yi returned to patrol the city tower with his generals. Through the moonlight, he faintly noticed that there was a change on the opposite side, so he ordered the soldiers to light all the torches on the city wall and looked at the Dawei military camp twenty miles away.

After a while, he turned to his side, "Old Qian, you have a good look, come over and see if there is something wrong on the other side!"

A middle-aged general with rough features and a short stature stood up behind him. He came to Zhao Yi's side, stared at a large black shadow not far away, and turned to Zhao Yi for a moment: "Sir, it's really wrong. , Judging from the situation, the Wei army seems to be a lot less. Where is this going?"

Zhao Yi's face was heavy, and he waved his hand in a solemn voice: "Check!"

The scouts of the Qingzhou Army also moved.

When the roosters of the common people in the city began to croak, when the first beam of morning light appeared on the horizon, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army all returned to the tower, because the Great Wei Army had already advanced a few kilometers, and soon today's battle for defending the city will begin again.

The firelight shone on the faces of everyone in the tower, Zhao Yi slowly glanced at everyone, and said solemnly, "Soldiers, the Great Wei Army is here, their purpose is to occupy the homes behind you, slaughter our relatives, and raise them in your hands. Our weapons, protect our Qingzhou, protect our family, and drive the Great Wei Army away!"

"Drive the Great Wei Army away!"

"Drive the Great Wei Army away!"

Liao Wennan stood under the city wall and looked at the people who were about to be caught in the fire again, and couldn't help but wonder where the flying pigeon she sent away was now?

Did it go back to its owner?

Two days later, the army was ready to go in front of the Dongfu City of Jiankang Acropolis. Han Shidi, who was appointed as the general Youwei of the Northern Expedition reinforcements temporarily composed of four Acropolis forces in Kyoto, followed the main general Yue Wei and led the [-]-strong army to help the northern battlefield.

Suddenly hearing the familiar 'coo' sound, Han Shidi looked up and saw that a snow-white pigeon was flying towards him.

Han Shidi raised his arm skillfully, and the pigeon fell.

He hurriedly took the letter and opened it, and what caught his eye was a row of beautiful handwriting, apparently from a woman's hand.

The content of the letter is not very good, "The Great Wei's [-] troops are coming to Qingzhou, I hope to support!"

The handwriting is very smooth, even if the soldiers are in danger of their lives under the city, there is no sense of panic.The few figures are neither humble nor arrogant, and there is no sense of flattery and frivolity!

Han Shidi's brows couldn't help raising his eyebrows lightly. He remembered a rumor from a few days ago that a woman lived in his father's side room in Qingzhou City, and the relationship was ambiguous. However, when his father came back, he didn't bring back any women, and his father was normal. As soon as it happened, he forgot.

Looking at it now, it is true!

The father even left the carrier pigeon that he used urgently on weekdays to the woman, obviously with great intentions.

But she didn't put it in the room, it seems that this woman is not simple!
These trivial matters in his heart were only in his heart after a moment, and he gently drove his horse to the front of Yue Wei, the leader of the reinforcements, and said a few words softly.

Yue Wei came from the family of Yue clan and was the elder brother of the late emperor. He followed the late emperor to fight in the south and north in the early years. After he succeeded to the throne, he was transferred to the city of Dongfu, responsible for guarding the important places in Gyeonggi.

Although the grade has not been upgraded, the real power in the hand is much larger

What Emperor Zhou valued was his loyalty, and he felt that his family members were much more at ease than their foreign ministers who were highly skilled.

This time, Yue Wei was sent to fight in front of the border in person, but he just wanted to put someone who was more senior than him in the military on his head.

The excuse is also high-sounding. He is young and prone to impulsive actions, and a veteran reminds him by his side.

It is also good for the main commander to be Yue Wei, that is, it will always be easier to pass the book handed to Emperor Zhou through him.

Just as Yue Wei saw the letter in Han Shidi's hand and heard about the great disaster in Qingzhou, he sent cavalry to deliver a letter to Emperor Zhou, asking Han Shidi to lead [-] light cavalry to rescue Qingzhou first.

They left Dongfu City only two hours before they received an order from Emperor Zhou.

Han Shidi followed with a light chariot and galloped north with the ten thousand light cavalry.

It's not that he doesn't want to bring more, but that the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty is dominated by infantry, and the [-] light cavalrymen were gathered from the four cities.

Just as Han Shidi flew to Qingzhou day and night, the gates of Qingzhou City, which had been raging for days, were still closed.

As early as the day before yesterday, the Qingzhou Army found that the Dawei Army had divided [-] troops to bypass Linqu in Danyang and headed towards the south of Qingzhou City.

Zhao Yi was busy sending additional soldiers to guard the South Gate, and this guard lasted for three days.

A person tall corpses were piled up outside the city gates everywhere, the river water in the moat had been dyed a faint red, and the city was full of broken walls, crying and wailing.

"My lord, more and more people are dying now. Many women, children, and the elderly have also been injured and shot. The people can't hold it anymore." Taking advantage of the gap between the Wei army's suspension of the siege, Song Zaiyan climbed to the tower and whispered to Zhao Yidao. .
