Chapter 171

Rundu is a small city.

To the north is Jinling, where Yanyue is prosperous, and to the south is Huayuan, which is rich in materials. In addition to being rich in grapes, many people have never heard of this name in their lifetime.

On the 20th, I went on the road without sleep. When I was tired, I would curl up and sleep for a few hours in the cave under the trees along the way. If I was hungry, I would shoot some rabbits with my bows and arrows to eat some birds' eggs. On the evening of the 20th day, the seven people's party was about to arrive at Rundu.

"What shall we do now?" After getting off the horse, they took the horses to the river side to drink water and sit down to eat something. He Yan looked forward to see the distance, is a field, to this place, she is familiar with the road.

He Yan did not speak, only to find the highest number to climb up. After a while, he came down from the tree.

Hongshan handed her some bird eggs buried in the ashes and roasted them: "how about it? Where shall we get in? "

The bird's eggs were boiling hot, and he Yan flipped in his hands for several times before peeling the shell. The steaming food went into his stomach, and his fatigue seemed to be lighter in the past few days. She said: "we can't go directly from the front. The uto camp outside the gate. Even if we can avoid the uto people, the soldiers guarding the gate of Rundu dare not open the gate."

"What about that?" Jiang Jiao looked at her, "brother he, what can you do?"

He Yan thought for a moment: "I asked the brother of liangzhouwei before and knew that there was a path outside the city gate, which needed to cross a mountain and then take the waterway. The horse can't get on, so we can only abandon the horse and walk. Take a short cut in the middle to get into Rundu city. "

"Really?" Wheat asked: "then let's eat quickly, finish eating and continue to drive."

He Yan nodded and looked at the direction of Rundu City, with a trace of worry in his heart.

Naturally, this shortcut was not told by the guards of liangzhouwei. However, when she was fighting with the Xiqiang people in Rundu many years ago, she dug a tunnel from the city in order to let people bring people from outside the city. The tunnel connected to the river and crossed the river to the mountains outside the city. No matter the Western Qiang people or the uto people, a large number of troops and horses, can not go this way.

He Yan is not worried that there is an ambush of uto people there, but she is worried about whether Li Kuang has sealed the tunnel after many years. After all, Rundu has been quiet for so many years.

But in any case, it's time to move on.

The crowd soon finished the dry food, and stopped here. Heyan removed the reins of several horses one by one, patted the horse's buttocks, and the horse ran into the mountain forest.

"Let's go." She said.

……

In front of the gate, the guards watched the field in the distance, not letting go of any suspicious place.

In the room, Zhao Shiming, the county magistrate, was pacing back and forth anxiously. Looking at the man who was sitting in the center of the room without saying a word, he said in a hurry: "commander in chief, why hasn't general he come yet? You should think of a way!"

Li Kuang, the commander-in-chief of Rundu City, is now just over 40 years old. He is tall and powerful, with a circle of beard on his mouth, which makes him extremely resolute. As soon as he patted the table, he said with some displeasure: "what is the noise? I have already said that general he will come to help me run the capital!"

Zhao Shiming is frightened by him. He is dissatisfied, but he dare not say anything. Whether run capital can be defended or not depends on this adult. However, more than 20 days have passed, and the distance between Huayuan and Rundu is only four or five days. They can't get out of the city now. They can't find out what happened to Huayuan and have no news at all. It's really not reassuring.

There were many people sitting in the room, and the atmosphere was dull. At this time, someone knocked at the door, the curtain was lifted, and a young woman came in.

This is a true beauty. She has an oval face, white as jade, and her eyes are bright and moving like stars. Even when she is so nervous, she also wears a light pink embroidered lotus skirt. Her face is also full of smile. She puts the glass bowl in her hand beside Zhao Shiming, "don't be angry. Eat some grapes. That's it. You should save some food. "

Zhao Shiming, especially a beautiful woman, could not help but put away his displeasure and reluctantly laughed: "thank you very much, miss qiluo."

Qi Luo is Li Kuang's favorite concubine. She will take her wherever she is. She is young and beautiful, and smart and smart. Everyone would like to have one of these flowers. But now the color of beauty is not as beautiful as it used to be.

After qiluo brought the grapes, she stood behind Li Kuang, stretched out her slender jade finger and rubbed her shoulder for him. Her strength is just right. She has relieved Li Kuang's fatigue, who has been working hard every day since these days. Li Kuang took a sip of the tea bowl on the table and said, "before general he comes, continue to guard the city gate!"

Zhao Shiming didn't open his mouth. He was another man. He was the president of the chamber of Commerce in Rundu City: "Mr. Li, you have to have some time. Now there is not much grain in the city. We are the most abundant ordinary Now I can only take such a small bowl. If you keep on Guarding like this, I'm afraid that the people in the city will starve to death before general he comes. "

Some started, and the rest followed.

"Yes, we were not killed by the utos, we were trapped in the city and starved to death. What's the matter?""How can you be sure that general he will come? What if he doesn't come? "

"It's been more than 20 days. Has general Feihong been in trouble and had an accident?"

Li Kuang's "Dong" hit the table. The tea bowl on the table was spilled half a cup. The room gradually became quiet.

"Manager Wang said so, but what's your opinion?" He was staring at the president of the chamber of Commerce, his eyes were like a cheetah.

Manager Wang had a cold war and stopped talking.

They know that it's not good to hide in the city now, but there is no better way. Do they have to rush out and fight with the uto people? It's not enough to rely on their men and horses. The total number of Utopians outside is 100000. Those who were defeated in the previous war in China did not retreat. They directly integrated and made peace with the Utopians on the other side and came to Rundu.

All the troops of Rundu add up to 30000.

After all, Rundu is just a small city.

"But Lord Li, it's no way to keep watch all the time, as you can see," said an old man with white hair. "Over the past few days, the uto people have been testing out frequently at night, and I'm afraid they will soon launch a general attack on the city. We can hold on to small fights. How can a hundred thousand troops of uto people really rush in

Li Kuang bit his teeth.

He, the city commander in chief, knows these things better than anyone else. So from the beginning, he understood that the only thing Rundu could do now was to hold down the uto people and wait for reinforcements. He Rufei is his old friend. Although he and he Rufei are not close friends, when they fought against the Western Qiang people together, they knew that he Rufei was a brave and fearless hero who cherished the whole world. Since he asked for help from he Rufei, he would surely come over. If there is no news for such a long time, nine times out of ten, he Rufei is also in trouble.

But Rundu also has no other object to ask for help. Jinling? Jinling has no general with troops and horses to garrison. Only the army and horses in the city can not leave the city to run the capital, making Jinling in crisis. There is also Xiao Huaijin, the two famous generals of the great Wei Dynasty. Unfortunately, Xiao Huaijin is far away from Liangzhou and can't hydrolyze the near thirst.

For a while, Li Kuang secretly hated the traitors and seized power. Otherwise, Xiao Huaijin's Nanfu soldiers would surely be able to beat these Utopians back to their hometown and dare not step into the land of the great Wei Dynasty.

When he was silent, Zhao Shiming suddenly said, "Lord Li, do you remember that when general Feihong was in the city, he once dug a secret tunnel to lead to the outside of the city?"

People are looking at Zhao Shiming, this matter is no stranger. At that time, the Xiqiang people slaughtered the people who couldn't get into the city. General Feihong had a tunnel dug out and secretly gathered the people outside the city to the city. At that time, many lives were saved, and those people were grateful to herufei, who thought they had been abandoned.

"What do you want to say?" Li Kuang asked.

With a sigh, Zhao Shiming stood up and bowed down to Li Kuang. He said, "it's the end of his life. Zhao is an old man and a county magistrate of Rundu. Naturally, he will not leave. He will live and die with the people in the city, but Zhao's grandson is only three years old

"Please allow Mr. Li to let Zhao leave the tunnel with his grandson."

Everyone was shocked.

Then, someone followed Zhao Shiming's words: "please allow your mother to leave with his wife and children."

"Please, Lord li..."

People here have been determined to die, the only concern is the safety of their families. Li Kuang has been asked to give his wife and children a chance of life.

Qi Luo pursed her lips and took aim at Zhao Shiming secretly.

Sure enough, at the next moment, Zhao Shiming said angrily, "it's ridiculous. All of you have to take your family out of the city, and the common people follow suit. In the end, the uto people don't have to fight. I think this city will be empty!"

"You are shaking the morale of the army!" At the end of the speech, the tone suddenly turned sharp. The spirit of killing and cutting was fully displayed, and the people were silent.

Qiluo retreated to one side and did not dare to speak at this critical point.

All of a sudden, someone came outside and said, "my Lord, my lord --

" what's the matter? " Li Kuang frowned.

"Our Tunnel Tunnel Someone's coming in! "

"What?" Li Kuang stood up all of a sudden, and the first thought in his mind was that he Rufei came? After all, in addition to those people who climbed the tunnel, he Rufei walked through the tunnel in person. "But general Feihong?" he asked

"No..." The guard said, "say yes, say yes..."

"Lang Heyan, Wu'an." Before the words fell, the curtain rose again, and a young man in red came in.

This is a face that Li Kuang doesn't know. He is not very young, at most 16 or 17 years old. Born is very beautiful and clear, the most attractive is the pair of eyes, shining, such as bright gems. With a smile on his lips, he saw a room full of people who were not half flustered. He calmly arched his hand at Li Kuang: "I've met Mr. Li."

Li Kuang frowned and said, "who are you?"

He Yan pointed to his clothes, and shook out a letter from his sleeve and threw it to Li Kuang, "in the lower Heyan."The seal letter is true and can't be fake. The crown is also true. However, Li Kuang has been an official for a long time, and he Yan is the first time I have heard of it. For a time, some doubts, but next to the qiluo "ah", a light voice: "Wu'an Lang? But the wu'anlang, who was appointed by his Majesty in the end, burned the canal and defeated the uto people in Jiyang city with governor Xiao? "

It is well known that no one knows wu'anlang and that the Jiyang canal was burned to defeat the uto people. People are surprised to see Heyan. They remember that a close friend of Xiao Jue fought side by side with Xiao Jue and won the title of official. But they didn't expect that it would be such a young man?

I'm a little too young.

Is it a fake?

The more suspicious people were, Li Kuang was relieved. If the utopian plot was really true, there was no need to find a half grown child to arouse suspicion. But He asked, "how do you know the tunnel in Jiyang city?"

"I don't know," He Yan said, "the governor told me."

Xiao Huaijin? With Xiao Huaijin's ability, it is not difficult for Li Kuang to find this tunnel. It's just "Did governor Xiao ask you to come? Is governor Xiao going to support Rundu? How many soldiers and horses have you brought? Soldiers and horses can't enter the tunnel. Are your people guarding outside the city? "

He Yan stares at Li Kuang, who has worked hard to defend the city for days. His eyes are bloodshot and he looks very haggard. But not in a few years, and he looks much older. Facing such expectant eyes, he Yan slowly shook his head: "I came by myself. I didn't bring any troops and horses, and there were no Nanfu soldiers guarding outside the city."

A room of people's joy was instantly diluted by He Yan's words. Li Kuang asked, "are you joking?"

He Yan took back his own seal and put it in a good way: "I am wu'anlang, who was granted by his majesty. If there is an emergency, you can not obey the commander-in-chief."

Li Kuang looked at her and felt that the boy was just baffled. At first, he thought that he Yan was under the command of Xiao Jue. Now he told him that he Yan made his own decisions? He asked, "so wu'anlang, are you here to visit Rundu alone? I'm sorry I can't understand. "

He Yan smiles: "I come to help you."

"By you?"

"It's up to us."

As soon as he spoke, he could only hear the voice of a man outside, "yes, and us! Why do you look down on people? "

When the curtain of the door was lifted, Qi Luo covered her mouth and saw three or two people coming in from outside. There are all kinds of people, including six people except Heyan.

A man with a scar on his face stepped forward and said in a rude tone: "Laozi, we have traveled all the way here, not listening to your nonsense! Here, Liangzhou Wei number one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, nothing else. I'll help you fight the uto people! Don't get cheap and sell good. If you don't talk nonsense, I will fight you and uto together

Li Kuang Qi's face was livid. He was a bandit. He had no military discipline and no one in his eyes!

However, a man who looked handsome and kind-hearted bowed his hands at the crowd and said with a smile, "Liangzhou Wei has been staying for a long time, and his words are more vulgar. I hope you can forgive me. However, there is no need to worry about Mr. Li. Our seven brothers will not drag down Rundu. In fact, in the past, we have fought with the utos twice. We have the most experience in how to defeat the utos. "

He Yan looks at Jiang Jiao's back. He is worthy of being the young master of shuojing martial arts school. When he should pretend to be a wolf with a big tail, he will not be soft hearted.

Li Kuang didn't say anything, but Zhao Shiming on one side immediately came forward, took Jiang Jiao's hand, and said in tears: "that's really great. Rundu needs a hero like you!"

Joke, now that one more person hits the uto people, Rundu will be able to support more for a moment. It can't be said that the moment of more support can wait for the reinforcements of general Feihong. And what did they say? I've played against the uto twice in the past and won? This kind of military division is just a timely help!

For a moment, Zhao Shiming did not care what Li Kuang looked like, but said warmly: "it is really high righteousness for all heroes to come to our capital at such a critical moment regardless of life and death! It's a pity that Rundu is besieged on all sides and has nothing to repay. " He turned his head and saw the grapes on the table. He offered flowers to the Buddha. He took them and handed them to him: "this is our Rundu specialty. You can have a taste of them."

Jiang Jiao handed the grapes to the wheat. The wheat could not get it. He ate happily with the bowl.

Now, let alone grapes, there is not much food. People in the house are glad to see the wheat and swallow their mouths.

He Yan looked at Li Kuang: "I have a few words to say to Mr. Li."

Li Kuang glared at Heyan. He couldn't say that he believed the boy completely, but he couldn't find anything wrong for the time being. Hearing Yan Xin said that the boy was making another idea, and he said, "follow me."

He Yan followed Li Kuang into his study, leaving others outside. When he got to the study, Li Kuang sat down and looked at him. He said coldly, "there is no one else here. Wu An Lang has something to say."

In the past, he Yan knew that Li Kuang still had doubts about himself. If she had been her colleague, she would have been suspicious if such a group of people came to help her. He Yan took out a scroll from his arms: "on the way from liangzhouwei to Rundu, when I had time to rest, I carefully recalled the scene of fighting with the uto people, and wrote down the fighting characteristics and habits of the uto people. They fought with the uto twice, one in liangzhouwei and the other in Jiyang. Both land and water battles had their own characteristics. This should be good for Mr. Li. "Li Kuang took it with suspicion. As soon as he started, his face changed slightly, and his expression became a little excited. Naturally, he could see whether the record on the scroll was true or not. At least some of the things he wrote are similar to the experience he gained from playing with the uto.

He wrote it himself, but not as clear and detailed as the scroll. Of course, this is because he was not as close as Heyan twice in the fight with uto people, but also because he was not as good as Heyan in his own ability. For a moment, he looked at the scroll, and another figure appeared in his mind, he Rufei.

He Rufei's ability to sum up battles is equally accurate.

He knew the value of the scroll, so he looked at Heyan a little more gently and asked, "are these all written by you?"

"I wrote it with my brothers." He Yan didn't take all the credit on himself, "everyone has his own good place, one person didn't see, the other paid attention, which can avoid loopholes to the greatest extent."

Li Kuang nodded: "thank you very much."

He Yan looked at him: "Mr. Li, with all due respect, what are your plans for the future? Are you waiting for general Feihong to bring reinforcements? What if general Feihong doesn't come? "

He Yan is not the first to say this, nor will he be the last. Li Kuang sighed: "what else can we do? There are not many soldiers and horses in the city. It's good to fight back and forth, but once the city is broken, tens of thousands of people will be buried by the sword of uto people. Rundu is just the first danger. Once Rundu is broken, Jinling is next, and then it goes north... " After a pause, he added: "Your Majesty wants us to defend Rundu to the death, and we can't leave Rundu one step."

He suddenly remembered something and looked at Heyan: "brother he, did you come in from outside the city? In fact, there is another way. "

Heyan had already guessed what he wanted to say and said with a smile: "Lord Li doesn't want me to go out of the city to Huayuan and ask general Feihong for help?"

"Our men have been sent out for three times, and there is no news of them. Since he brothers have been able to retreat from the Jiyang war with Commander Xiao, they think they have made great achievements. If we can find general Feihong out of the city, maybe Rundu can still be saved. "

"Does Mr. Li think that the people sent out before were stopped on the way to find general Feihong and had an accident?"

Li Kuang Yi Leng, "what do you mean?"

"What I mean is that there is no possibility that the whole army will be destroyed before they arrive in Huayuan. There is no news yet. I'm afraid that general Feihong himself is in trouble. Now we are all trapped in Rundu. We don't know anything about the situation outside. If we wait rashly, I'm afraid it will do harm to the people of the city. "

He Yan didn't understand what he said because she was very clear in her mind. She was afraid that the people sent by Li Kuang would be killed by he Rufei after they saw him. Li Kuang once worked with "general Feihong". In order to avoid being exposed, he hoped that Li Kuang would die without a burial place. How could he offer a helping hand, even if he was close at hand.

In the past, Li Kuang's understanding of "general Feihong" would have been waiting for the new year when he Rufei would come to the rescue.

"Have you ever heard of general Feihong on your way here?" Li Kuang is still reluctant.

He Yan shook his head.

The man bowed his head and let out a long sigh. He said, "today's plan can only be delayed for a while."

He Yan asked, "is it that Mr. Li only wrote to general Feihong for help?"

"There are others, but it's too far away from Rundu, I'm afraid it won't last that long."

He Yan thought, "in fact, has Li ever thought that defending is better than attacking. It's better to attack than to wait for death."

Li Kuang: fantastic

The young man looked at him with firm eyes, "it's not a whimsical thing, but waiting for an opportunity to move and change into an attack."
