Chapter 71: War (1)
In front of the south gate, Qin Feiyang, who was supposed to patrol the north gate, stood there with a jar of wine.
"Flying?"
Huang Han paused, "Why are you here?"
"Brother Huang, I'm naturally here to strengthen your career for you."
Qin Feiyang said as he handed the wine jar in his hand to the soldiers around him, "Pour wine for all the warriors!"
The two soldiers took the wine jar, picked up the prepared bowl, and then started pouring the wine. In an instant, the wine smelled everywhere.
Qin Feiyang picked up one of the bowls of wine and handed it to Huang Han.
The two of them had a close relationship and were both teachers and friends. Qin Feiyang had liked to study military strategies since he was a child. In this regard, Huang Han, the garrison captain, gave him a lot of help.
"Feiyang, Jingxian will be handed over to you. If I can't come back-"
"Hey, Brother Huang, don't say these unlucky words. Sister-in-law and Xiaohu are waiting for you to come back."
Qin Feiyang quickly interrupted.
“Ha~”
Huang Han shook his head, took the bowl of wine and turned to look at the fifty people behind him. These people were all his confidants whom he brought out for so many years. "If you don't want to say anything else, I won't say much. This trip will last forever. I will never force anyone who wants to quit now. "
"See the Captain to the death!"
"Good brother, do it!"
"Dry!"
As several ropes were thrown off the head of the city, figures slid down from above from the grasping rope.
"Brother Huang, you must come back alive!"
On the top of the city, Qin Feiyang looked at the figure who quickly disappeared into the darkness below and murmured.
After patrolling the city walls for a while, when he returned home, the butler flashed out from the side as soon as he entered the door, "Second Young Master, the master asked you to go to the study."
"It's so late, dad isn't sleeping yet?"
Qin Feiyang was a little puzzled and turned around and walked towards the study, "Do you know what to do with me?"
"The master didn't say that, but the eldest young master is also in the study, which should be an important matter."
The old butler said while leading the way in front.
The two of them walked through several corridors, then passed through a courtyard, and came to the door of the study room to the south of the mansion.
"Second Young Master, I'm going to leave first."
"Well, it's late at night, go back early to rest."
Qin Feiyang waved his hand, pushed the door and walked in.
"Yang'er is back."
In the study, the candlelight was bright, and an old man with gray hair slowly opened his eyes. In the seat next to him, a young man who was somewhat similar to Qin Feiyang also put down the book in his hand. These two people were Qin Feiyang's father Qin Mingshan and his elder brother Qin Feiyu.
"Dad, brother."
Qin Feiyang walked to the opposite side of Qin Feiyu and sat down, curiously: "It's so late, you haven't rested yet. What's the point of doing?"
"Of course, it is for the livelihood of hundreds of people from our Qin family. Yang'er and the thieves have been besieging the city for more than half a month. The city is full of starvation. Even our Qin family lives with a meal of porridge every day. In a few days, there will be no porridge left. Then everyone will be starving ghosts together."
"Dad, things have not reached that point yet. As long as reinforcements arrive, we still have hope."
"I have heard these two words "reinforcements, reinforcements," I have heard countless times over the past few days, but now there is no movement outside. Have you ever thought about what if the reinforcements really come, what should we do if we can't beat the traitors outside?"
"this--"
Qin Feiyang was speechless. These days, everyone has placed their hopes on reinforcements, and no one has ever thought about what would happen if the reinforcements were defeated? Perhaps they were unwilling to think about it.
"Second brother, Dad means we cannot pin our hopes on reinforcements, we must be fully prepared."
Qin Feiyu also spoke.
Qin Feiyang's face showed a strange look, "What do you mean is that I want me to surrender?"
"No, as a general of the court, how can you easily surrender the thief? My father and I have already discussed it. Didn't you say that the third sister was 90% caught by the traitors outside the city a few days ago? You can find an opportunity to send me out of the city."
"Brother, what do you want to do?"
Qin Feiyu smiled indifferently, "I didn't do anything, I just went to meet the thief and talked about a business."
"Discuss business?"
Qin Feiyang didn't even believe a word, but he didn't refuse, "Okay, but I must redeem the third sister."
······
A camp outside the city.
Qin Feiyan was wearing a linen cloth and rubbed her clothes in a wooden plate with her face crying. Because of the cold weather, her hands were already red with cold water. The more she dries, the more aggrieved her heart felt.
(?_?)
"Wow~Why do I want to do this?"
"Mom, I miss you so much!"
"Second brother, come and save me!"
Every time I rub my little hands, I couldn't help but howl. The grievance in the voice made everyone else feel sad and the listener cry!
After all, Qin Feiyan is still a 15-year-old girl. She has been the pearl of the Qin family since she was a child. She has never suffered such hardships. It’s okay to have a simple meal every day, but she has to get up early to work. She has never been able to leave such a life.
"It's almost done, isn't it just washing clothes? As for crying like this?"
Next to him, Zhou Qing said as he took the wooden plate from Qin Feiyan's hand, "Miss, I can't bear the hardship, let me do it."
"State in advance, this is not free. Wait until your family comes to redeem you. Remember to pay back the money. So far, you have owed me one hundred and fifty cents!"
She looked at Qin Feiyan and said seriously.
"Sister Zhou Qing, you are such a good person. Don't worry, when my family comes to save me, I will definitely give you double the price."
Qin Feiyan sniffled.
······
"Lord, the people below reported that someone broke through at the south gate of Jingxian last night. We only killed fifty people, and one person escaped seriously injured."
In the Central Army's tent, Xu Tu reported to Liu Feng about the situation last night.
"If you escape, just run away. Now that reinforcements have arrived, it doesn't make much sense to continue blocking."
Liu Feng didn't care, but stared at the map. Reinforcements had arrived yesterday, and it was inferred from the intelligence sent back by the reconnaissance cavalry that they were likely to launch an attack today.
"Report!"
At this moment, an Jinyiwei rushed in outside, "Report to the lord, according to the spies in front of him, the enemy suddenly began to move towards us."
When Liu Feng heard this, he suddenly stood up and said, "I ordered the military captains to come to the big tent to discuss matters."
"yes!"
Soon, the leading lieutenants wearing armor gathered together, and the atmosphere of the entire camp suddenly became different.
In the big tent, Liu Feng continued to issue military orders according to the strategy he had formulated in advance. The lieutenants who received the military orders left one by one, then returned to their respective barracks and began to gather people.
When the last lieutenant left the tent, the entire camp was already in operation.
"What's wrong, what happened?"
"Is it going to fight?"
Seeing a group of soldiers rushing by quickly, Zhou Qing and Qin Feiyan put down their work, their faces full of curiosity.
