Chapter 737 Internal Response
Cheng Yulian is not a person who follows the rules.
Although he got a scholar's fame, he spent a lot of time reading miscellaneous books in his thirty-two years of life.
He likes to read historical books such as the Records of the Grand Historian, the Book of Han, etc.
You can know the rise and fall of history.
It is much better than just holding Confucian classics and studying hard. He was very happy to hear that Wu Nian founded the Imperial College in Yingqing Prefecture, and the students also studied history books.
Among the many historical figures, Ban Chao joined the army and pacified the Western Regions. He was named Dingyuan Marquis for his military merits. This is his favorite story.
Now, he seems to have the opportunity to follow the footsteps of his ancestors and do something meaningful and exciting.
Cheng Yulian's eyes flashed for a long time and gradually returned to peace. He returned to the corridor and said to his slave who was standing in the corridor: "Go and invite Mr. Niu to the study."
"Yes." The slave responded and bent down and left.
Cheng Yulian put away the oil-paper umbrella and entered the study along the corridor.
There were books everywhere in the study, most of which were history books and military books. Cheng Yulian placed an oil-paper umbrella at the door, came to the bookcase, took out "The Art of War", but did not open it to watch, but just put it in his hand to play with it.
"Master, please look for me."
After a while, a middle-aged man with an ugly appearance, tall figure, dressed in a long gown, dressed as a scholar, walked in.
"Sit." Cheng Yulian asked him to sit down, and he also came to the Grand Master's chair behind the desk to sit down, looking up at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man named Niu Bian, who claimed to be from Huanglong Mansion. His whole family was killed by the Mongol Yuan people and wandered to Yangwu County. Half a year ago, he was hungry and cold and almost starved to death.
Cheng Yulian helped Niu Bian and accidentally discovered that Niu Bian had good knowledge, so he asked Mr. Xixi.
The two of them talked about everything in private. Cheng Yulian is a passionate person. Niu Bian was ruined by the Mongols and the family was destroyed. The content of the two people's conversations often discuss how to drive away the Mongols and Yuans.
"Sir. Now the general has occupied Xingshi Mountain and has the advantage. Moreover, there are many soldiers and horses, with only five thousand households. However, the Mongols occupy the city, so he may not be able to do it. I want to contact the three major households in Yangwu to do it.
What do you think, open the city gate for the general?"
Cheng Yulian's eyes were as bright as stars, with the determination to sacrifice and the courage to not be afraid of death.
"If you do this, Master, then I think we will be taken to Caishikou by the Mongols soon, and become the chicken that will kill the chicken to warn the monkey."
Niu Bian shook his head and said without hesitation.
"Why?" Cheng Yulian frowned and asked.
"Although the generals of the auxiliary Han are very powerful now, the Mongol Yuan people are not weak either. There are four thousand commanders in the city."
"They monitored the three major households. The three major households are the clay Buddhas crossing the river, and they are unable to protect themselves. Master, go up and discuss with them. Wouldn't it be that meat buns beat dogs, and there will be no return?"
Niu Bian's voice is very powerful, his pronunciation is clear, and his ugly face shows a solemn look.
Cheng Yulian suddenly became decadent, so how could he not know about this? He was just lucky. With his family's strength, it was impossible for him to help Wu Nian open the city gate.
Only by contacting the three major players and making efforts together can it be possible.
"Then we still do nothing, just watch? Are we watching the general's fierce attack on the city, and the soldiers were killed and injured?" Cheng Yulian stood up, walked back and forth anxiously with his hands on his waist.
"No. As long as the master is determined, we can still do something."
Niu Bian shook his head, and a creepy smile appeared on his ugly face.
"How to do it?" Cheng Yulian's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to ask.
The most frustrating thing in this world is powerlessness. At this critical moment, as long as he can help, he can do whatever he wants.
"Set the fire." Niu Bian put away his smile and gently spit out two words. Then, he gave his own plan.
"Master, prepare firewood, liquor, cloth, etc., and send people to contact General Sui Han. As long as the general's army reaches the city, you will set fire to your own house and then set fire to the house next door."
"This is not OK. I don't feel sorry for my house. It's just that the war is going on. Even at night, there will be no fewer soldiers patrolling the streets."
"Even if I burn my house, I will be killed quickly by them, and the fire will be extinguished by them. There will be no impact."
Cheng Yulian just thought for a moment and waved his hand, thinking that this plan was unreliable.
"So it depends on luck." Niu Bian said lightly without denying Cheng Yulian's words.
"Luck?" Cheng Yulian was stunned for a moment.
"That's right. Master, you can bet. If you set fire, there are soldiers of the generals of the Han Dynasty outside. Will other big families and people set fire to follow?"
"If a fire burns vigorously, the Mongols can't save it even if they want to put out the fire. With the general's troops outside the city, they may retreat immediately."
"We will help the general get the city."
The cow becomes calm.
His ugly appearance, coupled with his calm face at this moment, made Cheng Yulian even more creepy.
Good luck.
This is a life-gamble.
If no one follows the fire, he will be dead.
but.
Doing big things, you can’t cherish yourself.
In life, there are always times like this to fight for life. A hero is a step further, and a mortal is a step back.
"I have been reading poetry and books since I was a child, and I have always longed for such an opportunity. I immediately sent someone to send my family out of the city, and then contacted the general and set off this fire."
Cheng Yulian didn't hesitate for too long, his eyes flashed with a magnificent aura of knowing that there was a tiger in the mountain, but he said in a deep voice.
"Okay. I'm worthy of being the master." Niu Bian showed an ugly smile and nodded.
"Mr. Niu. Thank you. If I succeed, when the general captures Guangyang Mansion, I will pay you a house, buy land, and build a family in this county."
Cheng Yulian raised his head and said gratefully.
Everyone is like-minded comrades and is sharing weal and woe. Niu Bian even came up with such an idea for him.
Just die, let it go, things are done. He will not treat Niu Bian unfairly.
"No. Master, you don't have to thank me. I don't need any land and house. As long as things go well, it's fine." Niu Bian shook his head slightly, and his eyes flashed with a gleam.
"No. I still have to thank you." Cheng Yulian waved his hand and insisted.
Cheng Yulian acted according to Niu Bian's plan, first moved his family out of the city one after another, and then sent his confidant to contact Wu Nian.
In Yangwu County, the three major Han families were the top priority, and the Mongolian and Yuan people were the key focus.
Cheng Yulian's goal was small and did not attract the attention of the Mongols and Yuan people. The plan was progressing very smoothly.
