Come to Daming with military supplies

After careful questioning, I realized that these people were all Fan Yuhai's confidantes.The replacement was also his order. On the grounds of protecting Khan's absolute safety, he was completely protected and isolated on the surface, but in fact it was nothing more than house arrest.

Fan Yuhai was an ambitious person, Yang Chendong knew this very early on, so he gave him a chance, and sure enough, this person grabbed Su De and put Su De under house arrest, and brought the emperor to command the princes.

But this is just under house arrest, and there are too many people who can't understand it, but Yang Chendong knows in his heart that the matter will be revealed one day, even if he has arranged for Director Feng Liang to spread the news, it must not take long, civil strife He must live, but he wants to see how this famous general makes a decision.

......

Under the city of Dalu, the war is still going on.

After suffering losses in the first battle, the Tatar army and the new army of mercenaries seemed to have reached some kind of tacit agreement. There was no war between the two sides, but a confrontation.

Speaking of which, both sides have fears.The Tatar army was afraid of the muskets of the new army, and did not dare to charge rashly; what the new army was worried about was the number of cavalry on the other side, which was nearly [-]. If there was a real battle, the power of the muskets would be limited. , once the two sides fight together, it will end with two injuries, which is not what they want.

It is precisely because of these scruples that the two sides settled down, which made it hard for the Northern Ming army guarding the city. When the Tatar army directed all their spearheads and energy at Dalu City, Shi Wanshan, who was under double pressure, was in a state of constant pain every day. In dire straits.

When the Tatar army attacked the city before, they only used infantry. These well-trained siege soldiers have already caused headaches for the Northern Ming army.But when the mercenaries just confronted the Tatar army and neither side had any intention of sending troops, the Tatar iron cavalry also came in handy. They came to the bottom of the city and continuously released bows and arrows to the upstairs, killing and injuring a large number without much combat experience. The Northern Ming recruits.

Dalu City, which was already in jeopardy, is even more dangerous. The number of soldiers' battle losses is rising every day. If it continues like this, it may not last long.

After another tiring day, the exhausted Shi Wanshan and Ning Wenfeng returned to the yamen of the city lord's mansion, and sat in the courtyard while drinking tea while staring at each other silently.

Deng Qiang, the guarding eunuch, had already returned to the Xuan Mansion, and he also brought back Commander Tong Zhi Gufeng, under the pretense of bringing the general back to recuperate his injuries, but in fact he was just looking for an excuse to evade responsibility.

As long as he is not in the city, once Dalu City falls, this responsibility will not have much to do with him. At that time, with the general Gu He in his hands, the safety of Xuan Mansion can also be guaranteed.

"It's a good plan, so I said that I shouldn't go to Dalu City. The location of this city is very important, but the city walls are not tall, so I'm asking for trouble." Ning, who has always been happy and angry. Wen Feng finally couldn't bear it anymore this time, and suddenly patted the stone table in the courtyard and said.

After days of hard fighting, even people with good tempers have been tempered. How could Ning Wenfeng's performance at this moment not be what Shi Wanshan had in mind?It's just that he is more aware that there is no way out in the current situation.

He once sent [-] miles to the capital to rush to the capital, and asked some officials who had a good relationship with him in private, and the answers were almost the same. The court attaches great importance to this battle. The imperial decree to ask for guilt will be issued immediately, and by then, they will be Beiming's sinners.

After finally surviving until today, Shi Wanshan, who was even a bandit once, of course didn't want to lose everything, what he had to do was try his best to keep Dalu City.Suppressing the anger in his heart, Shi Wanshan asked, "Wen Feng, what do you think if we fight our way out, how about sending someone to the mercenary army to ask for help?"

"Please help?" Ning Wenfeng raised his head after hearing this, looked at the hopeful Shi Wanshan and shook his head, "Commander, I didn't hit you. If you were a mercenary, would you intervene at this time?"

Shi Wanshan was speechless for a moment.He knew that the proposal just now was a bit idiotic, but now he really couldn't find a better way.Behind them is the Xuan Mansion, where there is also a shortage of troops. There may be strength to defend the city, but there is absolutely no strength to help.As for the imperial court, although he sent out several emergency documents, they all seemed to sink into the sea. It can be seen that the imperial court will not send a large army over for the time being.

This is also an unavoidable solution. It is unexpected that Ning Wenfeng rejected it so quickly.

Ning Wenfeng, who was sitting across from him, understood Shi Wanshan's thoughts, but he still couldn't help but said: "Commander, there is no need to fight this idea. The current mercenaries are afraid that we and the Tatar army will suffer a lose-lose situation. Why? Will make a move at this time."

"But...But once Dalu City changes hands, their supply channel will be cut off. Will the Loyalty Guild allow such a thing to happen?" Shi Wanshan still wanted to argue.

"So what if the supply channel is cut off? Isn't there still the Nuergandusi area? This is just the backup route for Lord Zhongdan. At least for this reason, it is not worthwhile to deal with [-] elite cavalry .” Ning Wenfeng shook his head.

With such an attitude and such a decisive answer, Shi Wanshan was speechless.Perhaps he also had such thoughts in his heart, otherwise, he would have sent someone to send a letter to the mercenaries long ago.It's just that right now, apart from this method, he really can't find a solution.

With a sigh, Shi Wanshan closed his mouth again, and only opened his mouth violently when drinking tea, as if he had hatred for the teacup and the tea leaves.

silence.

The silence again represented the pain and helplessness in the hearts of the two generals.But at this time, a soldier from outside the door walked in, half-kneeling on the ground, "My lord, there is a man outside the mansion who claims to be a loyal messenger, begging to see him."

"Loyal and courageous messenger?" Hearing his voice suddenly, the eyes of the two men who were already decadent looked bright, and Shi Wanshan suddenly said after a breath: "Please, please."

If he hadn't been concerned about his identity, Shi Wanshan would have stood up to greet him at this moment.But even if he didn't do this, the two words of please can already represent his excitement at this time.

The soldiers retreated, and it was only half a cup of tea, but from Shi Wanshan's point of view, it seemed that a long time had passed, and finally a man in commoner clothes walked into the backyard, accompanied by his own soldiers , has already proved his identity.

"Caomin Yu Can has seen two generals." The person who came under the clasped fists bent slightly and then stood upright again, with an air of neither humble nor overbearing.

Speaking of grassroots, how many grassroots can behave so naturally when they see Commander Du?Just from this aspect, this person is different from ordinary people in many ways.

"So it's Mr. Yu, please take a seat." Ning Wenfeng said with a spring-like smile on his face.Before finding out the identity of the visitor, this kind of reception was naturally done by him, a subordinate official.While speaking, he waved to the soldiers on the side, signaling them to back down.

Soon there were only the three of them left in the small courtyard. Yu Can tasted the tea in front of him under Ning Wenfeng's gesture, and nodded slightly after drinking lightly, "Not bad, good tea."

"Hehe, now that the big battle is coming, and I don't know that the master is coming, I'm not well prepared. But I think there must be peerless tea at Mr. Zhongdan." Ning Wenfeng smiled, and did not forget to point the finger at what he wanted to say. question.Even at this time, he was still very suspicious of Yu Can's identity.

Chapter 849 Withdrawing from Dalu City

Dalu City has been blocked long ago, even Tatar cavalry can't rush in, how did this person appear here?It would be understandable if he was already in the city, but how did he get the latest instructions from Mr. Zhongdan?Could it be that Haidongqing reported the letter, but he didn't see the bird entering the city, so how to report it.

Neither Ning Wenfeng nor Shi Wanshan knew that there was a kind of telegraph in the world. They didn't need to meet each other at all, and they could communicate with each other, even without being affected by distance.Of course, Yu Can has no obligation to tell them all this, he can even think of the doubts of the other party, but his duty is not to explain these, but just to send a message.

Yu Can, the team leader of the Security Bureau stationed in Dalu City, is usually responsible for collecting intelligence in the city, and forwards it to Director Feng Liang of Shicheng on time.I thought he would always be a dark worker, but a telegram today made him have to reveal his identity.That is, the Sixth Young Master personally called and asked him to pass a word to the Yamen of the City Lord's Mansion.

The sixth young master has an order, and he dare not disobey.Then Yu Can came, still appearing here in a big and open manner.He knew that perhaps only by doing so, could the worries of the two generals be dispelled, and the matter could be handled satisfactorily.

Ning Wenfeng's words were obviously probing, but Yu Can still replied with a smile: "What kind of good tea does Mr. Zhongdan have? I don't have a chance to drink the small ones. But if you doubt my identity because of this, you can take my tea away." Catch it as a liar."

Such a straightforward answer made Ning Wenfeng feel a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer.After all, at this time, there is really no benefit in pretending to be a loyal and courageous person.

On the other hand, Shi Wanshan, who had been impatient for a long time, saw that the conversation was about to reach a stalemate, and he finally said: "Mr. Yu said that he came here under the order of Duke Zhongdan, what can you tell me?"

"Master Commander, I came here under the order of Lord Zhongdan, and I really have something to explain. According to Lord Zhongdan, if Dalu City can't be defended, there is no need to guard it. It is better to return to Xuanfu City , You can accumulate strength to defend there..."

Yu Canzhi had just spoken halfway, when Ning Wenfeng had already interrupted him, "Why can't we keep up with Lucheng? Besides, I'm waiting for the imperial court's salary. Now that the imperial court has not issued an order, how can we wait?" You can leave your post without authorization, Mr. Yu, do you know that based on what you just said, you are already committing a crime?"

No wonder Ning Wenfeng was angry.Yang Chendong may not care too much about whether Lucheng is lost or not, but as the general who defends the city, he will bear a huge responsibility. of.How can he not be in a hurry when it comes to his own family and life.

After Ning Wenfeng said this, Yu Can closed his mouth, shook his head first, and then sipped tea.He was not frightened by the criminal words said by the other party.

Yu Can's composure fell into Shi Wanshan's eyes, and he couldn't help but his eyes lit up.This person is so calm, either because he has something to rely on, or because he has put life and death aside, but no matter what it is, he believes that no one will come to die in vain.At that moment, he suppressed Ning Wenfeng, who was about to lose his temper, and then looked at Yu Can with a smile and said, "Mr. Yu, you should have something to say. This commander is willing to listen." Shi Wanshan said so, and Ning Wenfeng He could only suppress the anger in his heart, and then stared at Yu Can fiercely. He wanted to see what this person would say next. If he was talking nonsense, he would not care whether the other party was really Loyal and courageous people, take it first and then talk.

Yu Can slowly put down his teacup, looked at Shi Wanshan, and said word by word: "Lord Zhongdan said that Talu City can be abandoned, but Xuan City can't be abandoned. As long as the command envoy guards the Xuan Mansion well, the Tatar army will not be allowed to leave." Take a step forward, and within one to two months at most, Dalu City will return to the general's hands."

"Oh?" Shi Wanshan was stunned. He already knew that there was more to come, but he never expected such a result.As his thoughts raced, he seemed to have thought of something, "Is Mr. Zhongdan planning to take action against the Tatar cavalry?"

"What? Didn't Lord Zhongdan send troops early?" Yu Can smiled.

"Sending troops is sending troops, but you don't know just by acting." Ning Wenfeng, who was on the side, finally had a chance to intervene.At this moment, he didn't know why, the more calm Yu Can was, the more he disliked him. When he came to his own territory, his life was in his own hands, and he could still be so stable as Mount Tai. It was amazing. It's exasperating.

Yu Can seemed to be used to Ning Wenfeng's criticism, and instead of answering his question, he continued to say calmly: "I came here to deliver the news based on the words of a loyal and courageous man. If you don’t believe me, that’s my problem. Of course, you can also arrest me, or even torture me. I’m not sure if I can keep the secret in my heart. But in this way, it will delay The time for the two generals to make a choice is that familiarity is more important than familiarity, and the two can choose by themselves."

After laying everything out on the bright side, Yu Can continued to drink tea with his head down without saying a word, like a thirsty person looking at the nectar.

This behavior is completely disregarding life and death.It is often difficult for such a person to bow his head. Even if they are arrested and sentenced to death, there will be no results in a short period of time.And it happened that Shi Wanshan didn't have much time now, if he made a wrong step, he would have no chance to stand up.

"Mr. Yu, do you have any tokens to prove your identity?" Shi Wanshan still did not give up and asked.

"No." Yu Can replied happily.Then he added, "Dalu City has been closed, where did I get the token?"

"Without a token, where did you get the news?" Feeling that he had caught the opponent's loophole again, Ning Wenfeng interjected again.

"I don't need to bother the general. Anyway, what I said is the truth. Believe it or not, the two generals should consider for themselves." Yu Can will definitely not tell the telegram, which is still a secret among other forces. Of course, the longer you keep it hidden, the more beneficial it will be.

Ning Wenfeng felt that Yu Can had nowhere to cut his sword.Immediately, he turned his attention to Shi Wanshan, obviously wanting to command and make decisions.
