Liu Mengyuan made what he thought was a wise choice. Although King Huai was not his direct descendant, he had greater support behind him. And this time the attack on Yingtian Mansion failed, it seemed that King Huai had the upper hand. But at this time, it was...
It’s time to provide help in times of need. Help in times of need is far more memorable and appreciated than the icing on the cake. Liu Mengyuan believes that joining Huaiwang’s team at this moment is the icing on the cake, and choosing Huaiwang is a help in times of need, and it is the best decision.
A few. If you withstand the pressure and let King Huai's army come to destroy the religious bandits, King Huai will be very grateful to you.
So, Liu Mengyuan sent someone to ask for help from Huai Wang Guo Xu, informed him of the situation here, and promised that he would defend with all his strength and wait for Huai Wang to lead an army to rescue. Huai Wang quickly replied to the letter, in which he greatly praised Liu Mengyuan. He promised,
Once Xingren Mansion is attacked, he will personally lead the army to arrive within three days. As long as Xingren Mansion can hold out for three days, the situation will be reversed. Guo Xu even bluntly told Liu Mengyuan that he must rely on his own strength to defend the city.
, if he asks for help from others, he will not lead his army to rescue him. There can only be one soldier and horse to rescue Xingren Mansion.
Liu Mengyuan naturally understood what Guo Xu meant. In fact, he had already considered this clearly and did not need Guo Xu to remind him. After that, Liu Mengyuan naturally prepared for the battle and defended the city. He recruited young men in the city and gathered supplies to prepare to fight the cult bandits. Even if Wu Yongbo, the commander of Guangji Army,
He was reminded several times that the small number of soldiers and horses in the city could not sustain it at all. Reinforcements must arrive before the battle to participate in the defense. Liu Mengyuan dismissed these words. All he wanted was to hold on for three days.
He believed he could do it. This was why he was noncommittal about the letter written by Guo Kun. Even if Guo Kun came in person, he would not let go. That was because he had already made a decision.
Lin Jue is so keen. At this time, Liu Mengyuan would not dare to take the safety of the city seriously. The only possibility is that he already has something to rely on, and it can only be the promise from Guo Xu. Because
Lin Jue had reason to judge that Liu Mengyuan wanted to join Guo Xu's team and was unwilling to team up with Guo Mian.
"It seems that my judgment is completely correct, but Lord Liu, this is not the time to risk the lives of the people in the city or the entire counter-insurgency situation. We can't control whose ship Lord Liu falls in love with, but the relationship is so important.
, Master Liu, really want to sacrifice the near for the distant, and risk the lives of the people in the city? If you do this, you will fail the imperial court's cultivation of you." Lin Jue looked at the silent Liu Mengyuan and said in a deep voice.
Liu Mengyuan frowned and said: "What Mr. Lin said is really difficult to understand. I am not on anyone's ship. Mr. Lin insists on making such a guess, and I have no choice. King Huai has issued an order asking me to hold on for a few days. He
I will lead the army and arrive. I am an official on the East and West Roads of Beijing. King Huai is responsible for the counter-insurgency matters on the East and West Roads of Beijing. The imperial decree requires him to take charge of all matters and act expediently. Officials from all over the country must obey his military orders and not violate them. I am only acting in accordance with the orders.
, but Master Lin's guess is so outrageous. I can't change your mind. You can think whatever you want, and I can't control it. Young prince, Master Lin, I still have many things to supervise. I forgive you that I can't.
I once again accompanied you two to talk. If you two adults have nothing else to do, I will respectfully see you off. The religious bandits have already arrived at the city, and the war may start tonight or tomorrow morning. By then the city gate will be closed, and you two will not be able to
We’re leaving the city. I’m afraid you two don’t want to stay here.”
Liu Mengyuan was already rudely issuing an order to expel the guest. The young prince Guo Kun's face turned red with anger and he shouted: "You are so hateful, I don't even know how you died later. Lin Jue, let's go. He
You will regret it.”
Lin Jue originally wanted to give some advice, because this was not the time to act out of emotion. But seeing Guo Kun like this, he could only stand up, sighed and cupped his hands towards Liu Mengyuan and Wu Yongbo: "In this case, I can only say goodbye.
.I’m sorry to disturb you today. Lord Liu, Commander Wu, please take your leave.”
Liu Mengyuan and Wu Yongbo bowed their hands and saluted. Liu Mengyuan said: "Mr. Lin, if the situation was not urgent today, I would have entertained you well and asked for some poetry lessons when you came to Xingren Mansion. But I cannot do that now. Please forgive me.
I neglected it. Fortunately, there will be opportunities in the future. I hope Mr. Lin will not worry about what happened today. Business is business and it should not affect other things, right?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Of course. But... Mr. Liu, please don't think I'm too talkative. I still want to say one more thing. Do you really think that King Huai's army will come to the rescue within three days? If he doesn't arrive in three days,
, haven’t you tricked the entire army and civilians of Xingren Prefecture? There are some things that I can’t say clearly, but I will put it here, let alone three days. You will hold on here for thirty days, and there will be no one except us.
I'm here to save you. You can think about the specific reasons yourself. I can't explain it clearly to you. You really didn't understand the situation this time and took the lives of the entire city's soldiers and civilians as a joke. I don't believe you, Mr. Liu, did it for yourself.
Those who do this in order to improve their future should think twice before doing so.”
Liu Mengyuan said with a serious face: "Master Lin, why are you mentioning this matter again? I have already made it very clear. Master Lin, please forgive me for not sending him far away."
Guo Kun's roar came from the yamen door: "Lin Jue, what else are you telling him? Good words can't persuade a damned guy. Only when the gangster puts a knife to his neck will he understand that he has made a big mistake.
What else are you telling him at this moment? Since he wanted to die, he was allowed to die. We still have a lot of things to do, and we can’t keep talking to him here."
Lin Jue sighed, cupped his hands and said, "That's alright, you two, take care. Farewell!"
Lin Jue turned around and hurriedly followed Guo Kun. The group of people left the yamen, got on their horses, and whipped their whips to go. Suddenly, someone in the yamen gate shouted: "Du Yuhou, Mr. Lin, I will send you off. The whole city is under martial law.
If I don’t go to the west city gate, you might not be able to get out of the city.”
Lin Jue and Guo Kun turned around to look, and it was Wu Yongbo, the commander of Guangji Army, who came out. He ran down the steps and mounted his horse. Lin Jue smiled and said, "Thank you."
The group of people rode through the long street and headed straight for the West City. Soon after arriving at the West City Gate, Wu Yongbo stepped forward and ordered people to open the city gate and personally sent Guo Kunlinjue and others outside the moat.
When they said goodbye, Wu Yongbo asked thoughtfully: "Mr. Lin, just now you said that King Huai's army would not come to the rescue. What do you mean by that? Can you tell me separately?"
Guo Kun shouted: "What else can you say? There is nothing to say."
Wu Yongbo looked a little embarrassed. Lin Jue smiled and said: "General Wu, don't mind. The young prince has such a hot temper. He was very angry. He came to help with good intentions, but was rejected. Naturally, he was unhappy."
Wu Yongbo nodded and said: "Yeah, I don't quite understand what's going on here, so I want to ask for a clearer explanation."
Lin Jue thought for a while and said: "There are some things that I shouldn't tell you, but I can't bear to keep you in the dark. You must know that this is a matter of vital importance to the lives of the people in the city. You rejected us today, he
Not only will Japan have to pay the price of destroying the city, but it will also have a huge impact. Since you asked, I will make it clear to you. But what I say at this moment is just a private word between you and me. Whether you believe it or not, I will
If the export turns into ashes, we will not admit it.”
Wu Yongbo cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I, Wu Yongbo, am by no means a villain. If even a few words of today's words leak out of my mouth, I will die on the battlefield tomorrow."
Lin Jue waved his hand and said, "There's no need to swear a poisonous oath. Just come here and I'll just tell you."
Lin Jue got off his horse, pulled Wu Yongbo to some big trees by the roadside, and whispered to him about the princely dispute between the two princes, as well as the various subtle situations of countering the rebellion, and what Guo Xu might do.
He told Wu Yongbo all his plans to kill with a borrowed knife. Wu Yongbo was just a local leader, so how could he know so many secrets and conspiracies? When he heard Lin Jue say that Guo Xu might use the power of the bandits to eliminate
When King Guo Mian of Jin Dynasty, he was so stupid that he could open his mouth so much that he could swallow a hammer. For him, this was simply unbelievable.
"How is it possible? How is it possible? Actually... actually want to kill each other... it's terrible. Mr. Lin, are you kidding me? Are you lying to me?" Wu Yongbo said in a helpless and trembling voice.
Lin Jue smiled slightly and said: "I said it, my words came out as ashes. I will neither explain to you nor persuade you to believe me. If you don't believe it, don't believe it. Let's stop this matter. Commander Wu, please take care of yourself.
, the city depends on you. But in fact... hey... even if you have three heads and six arms, it won't work. You may be able to barely hold it on for two or three days, but the city will be destroyed in three days. Hey, that's all, it's useless for me to worry about it. We have to
Let's go. We have to consider what happens after the city is broken. Our army can no longer be stationed in Wanting County. It is backed by the Guangji River and is a dead place. We have to consider where to stop the bandits from marching westward. Originally, Xingren Mansion was
The best place to block the attack. What a pity!"
Lin Juegong sighed and cupped his hands and walked towards the troop of soldiers and horses on the road. Wu Yongbo stood there in a daze, and suddenly waved and shouted: "Master Lin, wait a minute."
Lin Jue turned around and said, "What?"
Wu Yongbo said: "Master Lin, you just left like this. If the city is destroyed, what will we do?"
Lin Jue spread his hands and said: "I can't do anything. If Magistrate Liu doesn't ask for help, we can't march into the city. Wanting is a dead place, we can't stay, we can only evacuate. We don't want to do this, but we have no choice."
Wu Yongbo frowned and said: "I am asking you for help? Can you march?"
Lin Jue smiled bitterly and said: "Prefect Liu is the chief officer, and Commander Wu is just the commander of the Guangji Army. It is only possible if Prefect Liu personally asks for help and stamps his official seal. Otherwise it will not work."
Wu Yongbo smacked his lips and said: "Then what should we do? I believe Mr. Lin's words, but Mr. Liu refuses, so what's the best? We can't take the lives of the people in the city as a joke. Our soldiers and civilians in Xingren Prefecture are hated by the bandits.
There will be a massacre after the city is broken. How can this be done?"
