my wife is mulan

Pang Gandang said: "In this way, the messenger should be able to bring back the latest order of Marshal Xiao before Dad leads the troops out of the city. Why doesn't Dad make a decision after the messenger returns? Maybe the order above has changed again."

Pang Faqi thought about his son's words for a while, and felt that it made sense, so we had to wait for the messenger to return from the other side of the river.

"It's getting late now, hurry up and arrange the manpower, set off immediately after dark, and make sure to send the courier to the riverside safely!"

"Yes!"

Chapter 1049

In the middle of the night, except for a group of patrolling soldiers passing by occasionally, there were no other pedestrians on the street, which looked very cold and chilling.

The watchman knocked on the Zhubang and shouted: "The sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful of the fire and candles!"

Pang Faqi, who was walking back and forth in the lobby of the prefect's mansion with his back on his back, stopped when he heard the sound of knocking, and asked, "Come here!"

"What's your order?" A small official came in and asked.

Pang Faqi asked, "What time is it?"

"Mr. Huifu, it's already the third watch!"

Pang Faqi frowned, "It's already three o'clock, why hasn't there been any news yet? How dare you?"

"Mr. Huifu, the Major General is still waiting to be picked up at the South Gate Tower!"

Pang Fa thought about it. It takes time to prepare the army before leaving the city, and it takes time to walk more than ten miles after leaving the city. Although there is still plenty of time before dawn, it is not the time to launch an attack. The shorter the better, the guard patrol post of the dry army has a fixed shift change time, and he must seize the time when the guard patrol posts outside the dry army camp change to have the opportunity to quietly lead the troops close to the dry army camp.

"Come here, pass on the order of the government, let Liu Gun, Zhu Ji and others come to discuss the matter quickly!"

"promise!"

Not long after the messenger left, Pang Gandang hurried back with a wet man.

"Daddy, the messenger is back, and he brought back a letter written by Marshal Xiao!"

Pang Fa looked at it, and quickly said to the attendants beside him: "Take him down quickly, change into clean clothes, and prepare some hot soup, food and drinks!"

"promise!"

After the messenger was taken down, Pang Gandang brought a letter over, "Father, this is the letter from Marshal Xiao to Daddy!"

Pang Faqi took the letter and opened it to read it. He frowned and his expression became worse and worse.

Pang Gandang quickly asked: "Father, what did Marshal Xiao say in his letter?"

"See for yourself!"

Pang Gandang took the letter and looked at it, his expression changed drastically, and he said angrily, "How could Marshal Xiao do this? Isn't it clear that we are going to fend for ourselves?"

The father and son were silent, each thinking about their own thoughts.

After a long time, the messenger came back after changing into clean clothes, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Marshal Xiao has some things that are inconvenient to say in letters, so I let the villain relay them, just"

Seeing this, Pang Faqi waved his hand to make his followers retreat.

"Okay, there are only us father and son here, what Xiao Dashuai asked you to relay, you can say it!"

"Yes!" The messenger agreed, and said it immediately. Pang Faqi and his son listened quietly. After the messenger finished speaking, the father and son did not recover for a long time.

The messenger couldn't wait any longer, "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, the villain will leave first!"

Pang Fa stood up, leaning on the hilt of his sword, walked to the messenger and asked, "Aside from our father and son, Marshal Xiao and you, does anyone else know these words?"

"No, Marshal Xiao told the villain alone at that time, there was no one else around him!"

"Very good!" Pang Faqiu nodded, and suddenly drew his sword and pierced the messenger's chest.

The messenger's eyes widened, and he slowly raised his hand to point at Pang Faqi: "You" died instantly.

Pang Gandang was shocked: "Daddy"

Pang Faqi pulled out his sword and wiped the blood on the clothes of the courier's corpse. He put the sword back into the sheath calmly, and glanced at his son, "Why are you so surprised? Those who achieve great things must have the mountain collapse in front of them without changing their face." You are so calm and calm! Come here, we father and son will discuss it in detail!"

"promise!"

When Pang Faqi's father and son had a similar discussion, Liu Gun and Zhu Ji arrived one after another.

"Has the Fujun made a decision?" Liu Gun asked, this is the question he is most concerned about. If Pang Faqi promised to give him 2000 people, he would immediately pretend to be sick and have an emergency; if Pang Faqi only gave him 1000 people, he would shirk and fight less If you don't win, in short, you don't bring troops to attack at night.

Zhu Ji also focused on looking at Pang Faqi.

Pang Faqi looked gloomy, sighed, and took Xiao Bin from the desk to write him a letter, saying: "At night, our government sent people to secretly sneak back to Xiakou to meet Commander Xiao, and the Commander asked the messenger to bring back this letter. Look at it in turn!" After speaking, he handed the letter to the attendant next to him.

After receiving the letter, Zhu Qi read it, and then he was shocked: "What? No reinforcements, no fleet to respond? Does this mean that we are ignored? Since we are ignored, why do you still order us to stick to it? Isn't it clear that we will die? Is it here?"

The letter was passed to Liu Gun, and he read it carefully from beginning to end. Xiao Bin said in the letter that the navy who went to attack Hanjinkou failed and returned without any results, and the main force of the army had already returned from Jingling and It is already impossible to send troops to reinforce Jiangxia City when Sui County kills, otherwise, it is just to send more people to Gan Jun to kill; it is also impossible to send navy warships to meet them. The army brigade will arrive immediately, not to mention that the defenders in the city will not be able to cross the river, even the supporting fleet may be in danger of being captured by the dry army, so in view of the above situation, we can only order Pang Faqi to lead his troops to defend Jiangxia City to the death , At least one month, the situation will naturally change, and when the army retreats, Jiangxia City will be saved.

Even if Liu Gun himself had the intention to surrender to Qianjun, he was still furious when he saw such a letter, and cursed: "This is not treating the brothers as human beings. Since we don't care about our life or death, what right do we have to stick to it?" ? He is forcing us to surrender!"

"Ahem, General Liu, be careful!" Zhu Ji quickly reminded.

Liu Gun opened his mouth, then closed it decadently.

Zhu Ji asked: "Fujun, I don't know what your plan is?"

Pang Faqi said: "In this situation, there is no fleet to respond, we can't cross the river, breakout is basically ruled out, now there are only two roads in front of us, either surrender to the dry army, or stick to the end, and wait for the situation to change. We have 3000 troops, and there are 1 people in the city. There are enough weapons and weapons. As long as the deployment is proper, it is not impossible to guard for a month! How are General Liu and Zhu Zhubo going to choose?"

Liu Gun didn't know what Pang Faqi was thinking in his heart, or what kind of tricks this person was trying to play. To be on the safe side, he decided not to reveal his feelings for the time being, so he said: "This matter is too big. It's better to see it at the end of the day." Call all officials and generals to discuss together!"

Zhu Qi also thinks that Liu Gun's suggestion is good. If the two of them's choices don't match Pang Faqi's inner thoughts, what if Pang Faqi gets angry and wants to kill them?So it's better to delay the time and find more people to take the risk.

"The lower officials think what General Liu said is right. This matter is of great importance and cannot be hasty. It is better to bring all the officials and generals to discuss together!"

Pang Faqi didn't force him either, and agreed: "That's fine! Come here, pass on the order of the government, and let officials at all levels of the government and officers above the squadron leader and above generals come to discuss matters!"

"promise!"

Soon, officials at all levels and generals rushed over one after another, and the lobby suddenly became noisy and seemed a bit crowded.

"My lord, almost all the people who should come have arrived, do you think it's time to start?" Zhu Ji asked.

Pang Faqi looked at it, nodded and said: "Okay, let's get started! Everyone, I invited you here late at night, because there is an important matter related to the future of everyone present and we need to make a decision together! Just now the mansion has received Marshal Xiao from Xia. The secret letter sent by the mouth, the letter said that the dry army came from the north and the west, and the river bank defense line was also captured by the dry army. Affected by various factors, it is impossible to succeed, so now we can neither retreat to Xiakou, nor have reinforcements, and as for breaking out, we are looking for a dead end!"

"Marshal Xiao ordered me to guard Jiangxia City to the death and wait for the situation to change. The imperial court will never allow the Qian Kingdom to send troops to wreak havoc in our country. It will definitely send troops to fight back. When the time comes, the Qian army will retreat and Jiangxia City will be safe. These are the original words of Marshal Xiao in the letter!"

"Therefore, there are only two ways in front of us, live and die with the city, or put down your weapons and go out of the city to surrender to the army, it depends on your choice!"

Live and die with the city?Only a crazy person would choose this!The Gan people are not foreigners, we are all Han Chinese, so there is no need to make such a big determination to fight to the end, right?It's enough to keep it almost, no matter to the court or to yourself, you have an explanation.
