my wife is wonderful

"General, there is news from Yang Qingmo!" The howling cold wind made the tent rustle, and it seemed like it was snowing again outside.

The wind and snow in Gaofeng are heavier and the weather is colder than in Cangcheng.

During the Lantern Festival, there was silence both inside and outside the city, but everyone knew that this was just an illusion. Under this illusion, there was tension and fear in the city, and preparation for action outside the city.

Before noon that day, deputy general Ren Qi quickly walked into the tent and reported to the commander in person.

When Zhu Yue heard this, he quickly asked: "Where's the news?"

With the arrival of Ren Qi, other generals who heard the news rushed to the main tent.

Ren Qi pointed outside the tent, "That's the bird raised by Yang Qingmo, I guess. I just saw it and called it a few times. It came down and showed me the bamboo tube tied to its feet. I was about to untie it." ,it……"

Ren Qi paused for a moment, "It flew up again. I think it wanted to see the general before it was willing to land."

Zhu Yue paid no attention to Ren Qi's brief pause. His attention had already been focused on the white swan outside that swooped down because it saw him.

The cluster of red feathers on the head of the swan is particularly conspicuous outside the bitterly cold wind and snow-covered Gaofeng City.

"Fortunately, this spiritual bird always flies high, otherwise it would have been shot down long ago!"

Zhu Yue thought happily.

The other generals who followed noticed that Ren Qi seemed to be moving his right hand as far back as possible. Because he was wearing a narrow-sleeved cotton coat and armor, he tried to hide his hands under his cloak, but the cold wind here blew his cloak. Floating back and forth, someone with sharp eyes saw a few blood marks on the back of Ren Qi's right hand.

He didn't think about the origin of the blood stain, it was naturally Hongfu's doing.

For the soldiers who were facing death at any time on the battlefield, they did not care about this minor injury. Ren Qi tried to hide it, so he naturally felt that he had lost face, so some generals who had a good relationship with him wanted to make fun of him, but they He was bumped into and stopped by his colleagues.

Zhu Yue ignored the little moves among his subordinates. He stretched out an arm across his chest. Hong Fu paused slightly when he flew in front of him, and stared at him for a while with a pair of small round eyes.

This slightly confused look made Zhu Yue, the commander of the Zhenyao Army, murmur in his heart. I heard that the one with red hair on his head is not as smart as the one with green hair. Wouldn't it fail to recognize that he is the person it wants to deliver the message to?
If you give yourself a paw then, it will be embarrassing.

Fortunately, Hongfu stared at Zhu Yue for a while, then stood obediently on Zhu Yue's arm with one foot, and raised the other paw.

"Father, I am asking you to untie the bamboo tube!"

Zhu Shen, who came later, wanted to reach out and untie it himself, but when he saw the blood marks on Ren Qi's hand, he still held back.

Zhu Yue successfully got the letter from Hongfu.

After Zhu Yue read the letter, facing the expectant eyes of everyone, his expression remained unchanged and he said to them: "Xuzheng is attacking the city!"

The tone is sonorous and powerful.

The generals were overjoyed, and Xin Zhou couldn't help but ask first: "Yang Qingmo is back? Where is he? How much of the troops have been lost when going to Xiaocheng this time?"

Zhu Yue did not answer, but looked at King Jin, who had followed the generals but had not spoken. If you fail, you will immediately..."

"I wish you general, please arrange the siege as soon as possible. I will take care of my safety. Don't worry, it is not easy to save my life. I cherish my life very much!"

King Jin waved his hand to interrupt Zhu Yue's words.

Zhu Yue met King Jin's serious eyes and only said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is still waiting for you to return."

He stopped talking and started making arrangements for the siege at night.

Today is the Lantern Festival, but because of the expeditionary army counterattacking outside the city, the people of Gaofeng City have no intention of celebrating the festival. Some wealthy households in the city have left Gaofeng City, but some do not want to travel long distances in this cold weather. The family moved, so they waited and watched for a while, but even though they stayed, the fear and uneasiness in their hearts grew day by day, just like in Cangcheng.

Although the Zhenyao Army arrived outside Gaofeng City in the past three days, they have never actually attacked the city. They only sent someone to shout once on the first day, to the effect that the king of Yao Muji, Ge Qiang, was the defeated general of Zhu Yue, the commander of the Zhenyao Army in Daning. , previously intended to attack Daning, but finally fled back to Gaofeng like a lost dog. Now Zhu Yue leads the Zhenyao army to Gaofeng. As a defeated general, he should naturally open the city gates to thank General Zhu for his kindness of not killing. No benefactor comes to the door. It was really rude to thank guests behind closed doors. Such words made the guards at the gate of Gaofeng City so angry that they almost vomited blood. If in the past, someone had shouted such arrogant words outside Gaofeng City, whether it was King Ji or his subordinates, King Ji's army could not swallow this cowardice no matter what.

But this time I swallowed it.

Then today, the Zhenyao Army brought their Royal Highness the Fourth Prince to the city gate, saying that they would be given one day. If the city gate still did not open to welcome guests before noon tomorrow, the Zhenyao Army would use the blood of Goluo to clear the way for the Zhenyao Army.

"Although the fourth prince is not the crown prince, letting him die outside Gaofeng City and being killed by the enemy troops is really a disgrace to me, Yao Mu!"

In a restaurant in Gaofeng City, a few tables of guests were sitting sparsely, talking about the current situation.

"Brother Ou, do you want to open the city gate to save His Highness the Fourth Prince?" "Of course I will save him if I can. Even if His Highness the Fourth Prince is guilty, he must be rescued and let His Majesty deal with him instead of watching him die outside Gaofeng City."

"Indeed, if His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is allowed to die in the hands of the Zhenyao Army, how will the Prince see His Majesty in the future!"

"If the prince doesn't go out of the city to fight, is he planning a big plan?"

"I don't think so. I heard that the prince was injured and more than half of King Ji's army was lost, so... alas..."

"Where did you come from? If you say it this way, wouldn't Gaofeng City be in danger?"

"Gaofeng City is already in danger. Even if King Ji's army comes out to fight, what is the chance of victory... Well, it's hard to say. Look at the nobles in the city, who usually suffer the most. If they hadn't guessed these situations, how would they have been able to win? Take a long walk out of town in this freezing season.”

"It seems that tonight is the last night of good sleep. Come on, let's have a drink and go back and have a good sleep. After tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well in the future!"

As soon as this was said, everyone took it seriously and raised their glasses.

At the same time, in Prince Qi's palace.

King Ji was sitting in front of his desk. His throat felt itchy. He endured it again and again, but he still couldn't hold it back. He coughed twice and felt a dull pain in his chest caused by the cough.

"Your Majesty, three groups of people have been sent to Yaocheng. If Your Majesty intends to send troops to support, even if it is calculated based on the time when the last emergency report arrived in Yaocheng, the reinforcements should have arrived in Lingfeng City by now. If that is the case, Fatty Pi Someone will be sent quickly to deliver the message, so we must hold on, but there is no movement from Lingfeng, and there are obviously no reinforcements. "

The speaker was Guo Kang, King Ji's most trusted confidant, and one of the lieutenants of King Ji's army. The fat man he mentioned was a garrison guard in Lingfeng, and he was very respectful to King Ji on weekdays.

After King Ji coughed a few times, he stopped without any sign of discomfort on his face.

"Your Majesty, your body..." Another deputy general, Jin Sheng, looked at King Ji with worry. When he mentioned it, other subordinates in the study also looked at King Ji with worry.

Ge Jiao waved his hand and said, "I am fine and will not die."

After a slight pause, he continued: "Your Majesty did not send troops. I had anticipated this and knew your Majesty's difficulties. Although there are 150,000 troops guarding Yaocheng and its surroundings, they are not just the guards of Yaocheng. The soldiers are Yao Mu’s last line of defense..."

"Who is the last line of defense against? Could it be against us?" These words came from Ge Shu, the second son of Prince Ji.

"Geshu, shut up!" Ge Jiao shouted, which caused several more coughs.

"Your Majesty, what the Second Young Master said... is a bit more straightforward, but it is not groundless speculation." Jin Sheng said thoughtfully.

Ge Jiao waved his hand, "After all, he is his uncle, the king's brother, and the king of Yao Mu. No matter whether you are a junior or a minister, you should not make unreasonable comments, otherwise it will be disrespectful."

"Your Majesty, no matter what, we have to take action at noon tomorrow." Guo Kang reminded.

"Yes, Ge Luo cannot die. He is not only my nephew, but also His Majesty's son and the fourth prince of Yao Mu. So when noon comes tomorrow, we will go out of the city to fight..."

"Prince! Father!" The subordinates and Ge Shu in the study shouted to stop him, "We cannot fight."

"Your Majesty, now King Ji's army is no match for Zhenyao's army. We are leaving the city to fight now, just to let the remaining King Ji's army go to die. If we defend the city, we can at least hold on for a while, and maybe we can wait for reinforcements... "

"There will be no reinforcements!" the subordinates in the study argued.

"Okay, we can't fight, we can only defend until the last King Ji soldier falls. Is this what you mean?" King Ji asked loudly, and there was silence in the study.

After a while, someone said: "If they want to attack the city, they will attack the city, leaving some to guard the city gate. Your Majesty and the Second Young Master will lead most of the troops northward. Your Majesty, we can't stop the Zhenyao army. How can we not conquer Jicheng, As long as the garrisons in places like Lingfeng are brought under our command, we will have military supplies by then. Even if the Zhenyao army captures Gaofeng, what will happen, we will be able to counterattack quickly..."

"But this, isn't it..." Some people hesitated to say those two words.

"Rebellion? Really?" Jin Sheng looked at Ge Lao and knelt down, "As long as the prince is willing, my subordinates are willing to follow you to the death!"

Others knelt down one after another, "I am willing to follow the prince to the death!"

Ge Zhuo stood up, walked around the desk, stretched out his hands to help people up one by one, "You are here, my king...how dare you die so quickly!"

"Report! Your Majesty, the Zhenyao army has begun to attack the city!" In the study, the principals and ministers were talking to each other, but they were interrupted by an urgent report.

"Siege the city! Isn't it tomorrow at noon?"

"No, I fell into a trap!" (End of Chapter)
