In the next few days, the Tatars stopped attacking the city. They just surrounded the Kaiping Guards and sent cavalry to roam around. Kaiping Guards completely became an isolated island in the sea.
However, the people in Kaiping Weizhong are relatively stable, because there is still plenty of food, and there are several water sources in the city, so there is no shortage.
Because the Tatars did not attack the city, and Jia Ke had no intention of leaving the city for a sneak attack, the two sides faced off peacefully for more than ten days.
That night, the top of the Kaiping Acropolis was still as heavily guarded as during the day. Various torches illuminated the top of the city as bright as day. Because Jia Ke was afraid of another sneak attack by the Tatars, he issued a strict order, no matter it was day or night.
There can be no letdown in defense.
At this time, a small black shadow sneaked up on the city wall, and the soldiers on the top of the city immediately spotted him. Without any hesitation, he shot an arrow at the black shadow. The black shadow was already stumbling, so where could you hide? You just
Don't shoot him in the shoulder.
The black figure was shot in the shoulder, but he did not dare to shout loudly. He just tried his best to lean against the wall quickly, and then shouted to the people above: "I am Lord Qianhu's personal guard. I just came from Xuanfu Town.
There is important military information to report. Drag me up quickly."
When the people on the top of the city heard him shouting, they didn't know whether it was true or not, but if it was true, it would be a big deal, so they quickly reported it to the officers on the top of the city.
The person on duty at the top of the city today is Deputy Qianhu Huang Baifeng. Although Huang Baifeng is old, he is very serious in the old city and has always been cautious in doing things. At this time, he was still patrolling on the top of the city, and suddenly he heard soldiers coming to report that there was something wrong.
A personal guard of Lord Qianhu was at the bottom of the city. They didn't know what to do, so they asked Huang Baifeng to go over and take a look.
Huang Baifeng knew that Liu Yu had gone to Xuanfu Town to report to the Jiedushi Envoy some time ago. At this time, he heard that a man who claimed to be a soldier of Qianhu came down from the city, so he suspected it was him.
So I didn't dare to be lazy. When I arrived at the place of the accident, I looked down at the city. I saw that it was dark under the city, and I could only vaguely see a figure huddled there.
Huang Baifeng shouted to the city: "Who are you? Tell me your name."
The dark figure under the city tried to raise his head at this time, looked at Huang Baifeng under the light of the torch at the top of the city, and said with difficulty: "Huang Qianhu, I am Liu Yu, I have important military information to report to Mr. Qianhu, please let go of the rope and pull me
Go up."
Huang Baifeng recognized Liu Yu's voice and knew that the person under the city must be Liu Yu, so he immediately asked someone to lower the rope.
Liu Yu gritted his teeth and endured the pain in his shoulders, and tied the rope around his waist. The people at the top of the city saw that he had been tied up, and they worked together to drag him up to the city.
Liu Yu had just been dragged into the city, and Huang Baifeng immediately came over to check on him. He was now in ragged clothes, not a single piece of cloth on his body was good, and he was already as skinny as a stick. There was an arrow on his shoulder. Look at the shape of the arrow.
, he should have been injured by one of his own just now.
Looking at him, Huang Baifeng must have suffered a lot. He couldn't help but feel sorry for him, and he didn't know how he persisted.
Huang Baifeng is currently on duty and cannot leave his post without authorization. He immediately ordered the soldiers to go to Qianhu Mansion to report to Jia Ke.
Jia Ke was already asleep at this time. He was exhausted these days and had not been to the city entrance for more than ten days. In the past few days, both parties finally relaxed and he was able to have a good sleep in the room.
When he was sleeping soundly, he suddenly heard someone calling him outside the window, "Master, wake up quickly. Something happened. Master, wake up quickly."
Jia Ke woke up when he heard the sound. The sound was from his soldiers calling. Now Jia Ke is surrounded by soldiers every time he takes a rest, and Fang Tian's painted halberd is placed beside his bed.
At this time, when I heard the call of the soldiers, I immediately got up and rushed out without even having time to change my clothes, holding Fang Tian's painted halberd.
As soon as Jia Ke went out, he saw a soldier waiting by the door. When he saw Jia Ke coming out, he immediately went up to report, "Uncle, Huang Fuqianhu just sent someone to report, saying that Liu Yu has returned and is now at the top of the city.
, please let me decide."
When Jia Ke heard that Liu Yu was back, he didn't even bother to put on his clothes. He took Fang Tian's painted halberd, mounted the fire dragon colt and rushed towards the city.
When he ran to the top of the city, he saw several military doctors bandaging a man's wound. The man was enduring the pain while eating a steamed bun.
Jia Ke went over to take a look, wasn't it Liu Yu or who? Liu Yu was completely different now from when he left. If it hadn't been for having been with him for so many years, just looking at his current appearance, it wouldn't have been possible to meet him suddenly on the street.
Can recognize him.
Liu Yu also saw Jia Ke at this time, suddenly pushed the military doctor away, crawled to Jia Ke, hugged Jia Ke's legs and cried loudly.
Jia Ke quickly squatted down and held him in his arms. It was his shoulder that said: "It's okay, brother, you're back. You're home."
Liu Yu cried for a while before she gradually put away her tears and quietly winked at Jia Ke. She didn't say anything about military affairs.
When Jia Ke saw Liu Yu's eyes, he understood that there was something he couldn't say in public. So he said to everyone: "He just came back. Let him rest. You guys help me carry him back to the house."
You are among the soldiers. You found a door panel from somewhere, made a simple single frame, put Liu Yu on it, and carried him back to Qianhu Mansion.
Returning to Qianhu Mansion, Jia Ke dismissed the soldiers, and then asked the soldiers to take Yu to his room. He went to the room to visit himself. When Liu Yu saw that there were no outsiders, he grabbed Jia Ke's hand and cried.
Then he said to Jia Ke: "Uncle, I failed to complete the mission you gave me. That damn Wang Tao was greedy for life and afraid of death and refused to send troops. He abandoned our Kaiping Guard."
Jia Ke's eyes flashed, but he said with emotion on his face: "Good brother, you are indeed a good man of my Jia family. Liu Yu, you have suffered, don't worry, I will not just give up. The blockade outside is so severe.
, how did you come back?"
Liu Yu thought that Jia Ke was caring about him, and said movedly: "Thank you for your concern, sir. I hurriedly came back to report to you. I snatched the horses from the Jiedushi Mansion and drove all night, but when I got nearby, the Tatars had already blocked the road.
I could no longer walk on all roads. I could only abandon my horse and wander around the mountains for several days. It was not until today that I managed to escape to the city."
Jia Ke still looked touched and grabbed Liu Yu's hand or shoulder and said: "Okay, it's okay now. Recuperate well at home. I can't live without you. You will have to work hard for me in the future."
.I can’t just die like this, otherwise I will find someone to do something for me.”
When Liu Yu heard Jia Ke speak like this, she completely regarded herself as his confidant, and was so moved that she burst into tears.
Jia Ke quickly wiped his tears with his sleeves, and said comfortingly: "A man, if you bleed and don't shed tears, why are you crying? We have been friends for several lifetimes. Your grandfather was a soldier, and you are still a soldier. Your son, I
I still want him to be my personal soldier. If you cry like this, I will tell him later and see if he doesn’t laugh at you."
Liu Yu slowly stopped crying and couldn't help but smile.
Jia Ke saw him smiling and said with a smile: "Yes, this is a man. You must laugh at all times. Even if you die, you must die with a smile."
Jia Ke arranged for Liu Yu and had no intention of sleeping. He came to the study alone and sat there thinking about things. He looked ferocious for a while, then sneered for a while, and finally calmed down and returned to his normal and kind expression.
Jia Ke had already thought clearly at this time. It seemed that no one could rely on him. He was the only one who could fight on his own. However, he had already been mentally prepared and was not too disappointed about the lack of support. He was just worried about Wang Tao at this time.
He felt resentful, thinking that after this period of time, the Tatars had retreated, and he was settling the accounts with Wang Tao.
