Wang Tao was at the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, feeling sorry for himself and lamenting that he didn't have much chance of survival anymore. He thought that in the end, in order to save his family, he could only live and die with Xuanfu Town.

Just when he was desperate, Gao Hong suddenly broke into the study. Wang Tao didn't care about anything now. As for Gao Hong breaking into the study without notification, he just glanced at him lightly and began to blame himself again.

Gao Hong knew something was wrong as soon as he saw Wang Tao's appearance. Wang Tao had completely lost his fighting spirit. According to his situation and such passivity, Xuanfu Town would probably be breached in two or three days.

Gao Hong hurriedly stepped forward and said to Wang Tao: "Sir, please don't be so negative. It's not that our Xuanfu Town cannot save itself."

When Wang Tao heard this, he immediately became energetic and asked him anxiously: "How can I save myself?" After all, who wants to die if he can live?

Gao Hong grimaced and said solemnly: "Now we in Xuanfu Town still have a force that can fight well. If I bring this army here, Xuanfu Town can sustain itself."

When Wang Tao heard this, he understood, and at the same time, he suddenly realized why he had forgotten Jia Ke. You must know that Jia Ke is now famous. With a horse and a halberd, he chased Alsileng Khan several times among thousands of horses.

, only to kill the Tatars who were frightened by the news.

Jia Ke still has 10,000 soldiers and horses at this time, all of whom are elites he has trained. If this army comes to reinforce, they will definitely be able to ensure the safety of Xuanfu Town.

I think so, but now that Xuanfu Town is surrounded by water, how can I ask for help?

Gao Hong had already thought of this and said to Wang Tao: "Sir, the Tatars have always been arrogant and look down on us, China. The guards in their camps must be lax. This year, I will lead a sneak attack. I don't ask for many casualties, as long as the bigger the noise, the better."

.To attract the attention of the Tatars, and then send a few elite groups to break out from the opposite direction. As long as one of them can break out and reach Kaiping Town, reinforcements can be brought in. At that time, Jia Ke was ordered to mobilize all the troops to come to the rescue and at the same time report to the court.

If we report this, the imperial court will definitely send troops from all over to come for reinforcements. We will eventually fight the Tatars at the foot of Xuanfu Town, and it is not yet known who will be the winner."

When Wang Tao heard Gao Hong's words, he was overjoyed. If it was as he said, he would not only have no fault but also merit. He would immediately act according to his plan, but then he turned around and thought again, he had not used weapons for more than ten years.

, I am afraid that I already have more than a hundred kilograms of fat on my body, and I am afraid that there is not much martial arts left on my body. If I lead people to attack, I am afraid that I will die on the battlefield before Jia Ke comes.

Wang Tao began to hesitate after thinking this. Seeing that he was still hesitant, Gao Hong became impatient and said loudly to Wang Tao: "Sir, when the matter is urgent, why do you still hesitate?"

Wang Tao saw that Gao Hong was already anxious, so he expressed his difficulties to him with some embarrassment: "Gao Jijiu, it's not because I don't want to send troops. I'll tell you the truth. Over the years, I haven't used swords for a long time, and I have become a master of martial arts."

I'm afraid it's no longer possible. If I lead the team on an expedition, I'm afraid there will be no one to direct the next battle in Xuanfu Town." After saying this, the old face couldn't help but blush.

Gao Hong felt a little helpless when he heard what he said. Although he knew that Wang Tao had been pampering himself over the years, he did not expect that Wang Tao had thrown away all his ability to get promoted and make money. What Wang Tao said was indeed reasonable. If Wang Tao died, Xuanfu Town would be leaderless.

It will be self-defeating when the time comes.

Gao Hong rolled his eyes and came up with another idea. Since Wang Tao could not go to the battle, he ordered his generals to go in his place. Wouldn't this get the best of both worlds?

So Gao Hong said to Wang Tao: "Since you can't go out of the city to fight, if you send a few of your generals to rob the camp from different directions, you can also prevent the Tatars from looking at each other, so that each small team can break out of the encirclement.

.I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"

When Wang Tao heard that this method was good, he could send people out to rob the camp and he was safe. He only had to wait for the result in the city and did not have to go into battle in person. It was indeed a good way to get the best of both worlds. He quickly expressed his position and said: "Sir, this plan is indeed true."

It's awesome. The Tatars must not have thought that we dare to steal the camp tonight, so we will act according to the master's plan."

Wang Tao had a plan and felt a little more at ease. He counted the generals under his command in detail, which made him feel even more helpless. Most of the generals under his command were his old subordinates. When he was young, each one was better than the last one.

He is brave, but now he is old and weak, and his will has been weakened over the years. I am afraid that no one can complete this task.

Wang Tao thought about it and couldn't find a suitable candidate, so he tactfully said to Gao Hong: "Sir, these generals under me are all experienced in combat and can command thousands of troops. But all of them are Confucian generals.

, I’m afraid it’s not his strength to let them break into the formation.”

Gao Hong was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. He didn't even know a few of you Qiu Bazi, and he was still a Confucian general. But he also knew that some people were really harmful when they were young. It's just that these days, high officials have to do things and ride horses. It's not the same as it used to be.

With his courage, he fought for his own birth as a barefoot boy.

Gao Hong thought about Wang Tao's generals in his mind, and finally he thought of one person. This was the commander He Tong who had been beaten by him. This man was in his thirties, had some courage, and was also quite cunning.

, let him go, although there is no guarantee that he can come back, but the hope is higher than others. Although this matter is a bit unreasonable, for the sake of the entire Xuanfu Town, he can't care about it.

So he suggested to Wang Tao: "Sir, Commander He Tong is quite brave. Why don't you let him lead people to steal the camp tonight? What do you think?"

As soon as Wang Tao heard him mention He Tong, he thought of this person who had contradicted him several times. What else should he consider? In this case, let him go first.

Wang Tao immediately ordered that the commander-in-chief He Tong be sent to see him. Not long after, He Tong came to the Jiedushi Mansion, and Wang Tao met him in the study.

When Wang Tao saw him, he didn't say much greetings and directly ordered: "He Tong, I have something to do today. If you do it well, you will be rewarded. Our Xuanfu Town can also be preserved. If you don't do it well, we will take action."

You will die together with the city. Do you dare to bear such a heavy burden?"

When He Tongtong heard what Wang Tao said, he felt a chill in his heart. In this Xuanfu Town, since he was transferred later, good things would not happen to him. If he encounters any kind of charge, he will probably end up with a narrow escape from death.

But Wang Tao gave the order directly this time, leaving no room for him to refuse. He knew that he had to agree even if he didn't agree, so he might as well be impassioned, so he cupped his fists and handed over his hands: "My lord, please tell me, if I, He Tong, frown, I am not a hero."

Having said that, his brows were already furrowed.

Seeing that he was so generous, Wang Tao couldn't help but put aside his previous disgust and praised loudly: "Good, good He Tong, I feel relieved with your words. Tonight, you will lead a thousand men to attack in the middle of the night."

The Tatar camp does not require you to kill or injure many enemies, as long as you set fires everywhere, make loud noises, and make the noise as loud as possible. Can you do it?"

After listening to Wang Tao's instructions, He Tongtong understood that this was a strategy to attack the east and attack the west. However, since the Tatar camp was so easy to break into, it would be a disaster if he went there. But at this time, he could no longer retreat. If he refused now,

Wang Tao's military order was probably going to be pushed out and beheaded by him immediately, so he could only bite the bullet and clasped his fists and said: "Now that your Excellency has given the order, there is no disrespect for humble positions. I will prepare more fire starters tonight at the third watch."

The Tatars are making a big fuss in Zhong, what can they do to me?"

Wang Tao was very satisfied after hearing what He Tong said, and asked him to go down immediately to prepare to leave the city on time at three o'clock tonight, and at the same time set up the Tatar camp.

He Tong said goodbye and left the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, and quickly returned home. His wife Li at home was anxiously waiting for him, and she was relieved to see him back.

When He Tong saw Mrs. Li, he didn't say anything. He just grabbed her hand and burst into tears. Mrs. Li felt bad when she saw him and hurriedly asked him what happened. He Tong said

"I am going to the Tatar camp to rob the camp tonight under the orders of the Jiedushi. This trip will be very unlucky. If you can hold on, I will take care of you at home. I want you to take care of me in front of the parents' hall. I am in Jiuquan."

I'm grateful, if you can't keep it, send Su'er back to my parents' place in my hometown, so we can be considered as husband and wife."

When Mrs. Li heard what he said, she knew the danger this time, but she had to respect the military order, so she hugged He Tong and burst into tears. While crying, she swore to him: "General, go here to sacrifice your life for the country.

How can I abandon my chastity and remarry someone else? If the general dies, I will fulfill my filial piety in front of my parents' bedside, and when Su'er gets married, I will accompany the general under the Nine Springs."

He Tong heard what Mrs. Li said resolutely. He Tong knew that she was actually soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Since she said so, she would definitely act like this in the future. At this time, he felt that the couple would meet again under the clouds. He couldn't help but hug Mrs. Li.

I also cried bitterly.

The couple talked to each other, and before they knew it, the third watch was approaching. By this time, He Tong knew that he could not wait any longer, so he ordered Mrs. Li to get the armor for him.

Although Mrs. Li was deeply saddened and expected that he would never come back once he left, she still suppressed her reluctance and fetched him the armor. She personally dressed him, put on his helmet and hairband, and then

He put on the iron armor and tightened the belt around his waist. After putting on the red robe, he took scissors, cut off a bunch of his own hair, and tied it with his hair, which showed the relationship between the two.

The love of hair. Using hair to represent people means that the two will never be separated from each other. After that, they cut a strand of hair from He Tong's head and put it in his arms.

He Tong was heartbroken at this time. After finishing dressing, he glanced at his wife again and looked her up and down carefully. He wanted to remember this scene in his heart, and his eyes could not help but fill with tears. Suddenly he clasped his hands in fists

Kneeling in front of the madam, he said: "Say, Madam, you have suffered so much, I will take a step first. I will wait for Madam to arrive by the Naihe Bridge. I hope Madam will search carefully when the time comes." After saying this, he stood up with a shake of his sleeves and went out.

Walk.
