A sudden rain last night did not affect the good weather today. In the morning sun, the unknown flowers and plants under the city are still hanging with unsteady raindrops, crystal clear.
Within the handsome hall, the three people talked about the whole night all night.
Speaking of the end, Xiao Jianshu opened his heart very rare, and said that he hoped that Xu Wenruo would help him.
But Xu Wenruo's attitude was ambiguous, but Xu Yan's attitude made him very happy. Xu Xun would definitely take care of himself.
Although Xu Wen did not say clearly, his son had already shown his attitude, and if Xu Wen would not help himself, he would not become his own resistance.
There are also the generals who support themselves in the army.
In this case, younger brother, Xiao Cangshu! After this position, my brother will compete with you!
I hope you will disappoint your brother!
The three were talking, and there was a noise outside the handsome hall, and there seemed to be a sound of cheers.
The three were in doubt, and suddenly saw a small dwelling scattering like flying before, and his face could not restrain the joy.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Jianshu asked.
"Report to the son! Report to the prince! Withdraw! They withdrew!" The little dwelling was already excited.
"Withdrawal? Withdrawal for what? Tell me clearly!" Xiao Jianshu frowned slightly and said quickly.
"Liu Xuanhan's army has withdrawn, and there is no enemy camp outside Ba City! The siege of Ba City has been lifted!" The soldier's face turned red with excitement.
Xiao Jianshu and Xu Yan heard the words, Huo Ran stood up.
However, Xu Wenruo was still mature and prudent. He was not too surprised and just smiled lightly.
"Are you serious about this?" Xiao Jianshu seemed to be in disbelief and asked again.
"How dare I deceive you! Liu Xuanhan's army has really withdrawn... Master, listen, the cheers outside are the cheers of the soldiers and the people!"
Xiao Jianshu and Xu Wei listened attentively.
The whole city is boiling!
The siege of the city lasted for a long time, and it was in danger. The city was about to be destroyed. The high-pressure days were too long and it was too painful.
Today, the clouds are open to see Hongming!
The city to the general, the Chinese to the soldiers, and the people in the city, and the people in the city have already become a jubilant ocean.
They told each other and couldn't wait to share their joy from every know or not.
More insiders have shaped Xiao Jianshu's statue and worshiped, because it is the wise and wise martial arts of the son, not afraid of danger, and hit the enemy camp with 500 warriors.
At this time, Xiao Jianshu was sitting on the chair in the handsome hall, and he trembled with excitement.
Xu Wenruo and Xu Yan on the side are also happy.
"Keep! Finally hold it! ......"
Xiao Jianshu kept repeating this sentence. Suddenly, he felt like a sense of intersection.
It's preserved! "
Xu Wenruo and Xu Yan both were in each other, and Xiao Jianshu took three more heads, and then slowly got up.
At this moment, there were small strokes reported: "Son, Ling Jun, several elders in the city of Tancheng want to see the son and Ling Jun!"
Xiao Jian Shu was a little surprised at a time, and slowly looked at Xu Wenruo.
Xu Wenruo nodded towards him, and then turned towards the little swing: "Go back to them, the son is correct, and immediately meet with them.
"Here!"
After the pawn left, Xu Wenruo said to Xiao Jianshu: "Master, these elders are all octogenarians. They are also very knowledgeable and famous elders among the people of Ba City. You must not ignore them, Master."
Ah, when we meet later, you should be careful in your words and deeds, and your attitude and behavior should be courteous!"
Xiao Jianshu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand, kid!"
............
In the handsome hall, three gray-haired and energetic elders, each holding a cane, walked in slowly under the guidance of the soldiers.
Xiao Jianshu was originally sitting. When he saw these three old men walking in, he quickly stood up and walked over in a few steps. He even personally supported the oldest man in the middle. Xu Wenruo and Xu Wei also came up respectively.
He helped two other elders in front of him.
When the three elders saw the prime minister's son personally coming to help him, they quickly said they couldn't help him, but Xiao Jianshu insisted on doing so.
The three elders were very happy and had smiles on their faces.
Xiao Jianshu helped them sit down and ordered the soldiers to serve tea.
When the tea arrived, Xiao Jianshu accompanied him to taste the tea for a while.
Look at the three octogenarians, each adjusting their clothes, and then stood up. An old and respectful voice said: "On behalf of the people of Ba City, we would like to thank you for relieving the crisis in Ba City and saving the people from massacre!"
After saying that, they all knelt down.
The panicked Xiao Jianshu quickly walked up to them, supported the three of them, and said respectfully: "The three of them are all Jianshu's elders, and they are also highly respected elders. Jianshu can't bear it, can't bear it."
ah!"
The three elders then gave up and looked at Xiao Jianshu with admiration on their faces. The old man at the head said: "Young Master Jianshu is so young, yet he is so unafraid of life and death and has extraordinary courage.
You are stationed in Ba City, which is really a blessing to the people of Ba City! We are grateful to the Prime Minister for your protection, and for your protection, Your Majesty!"
Xiao Jianshu helped them sit down one by one, then waved his hands respectfully and said: "The words of the three old gentlemen are serious. Whether it is Bacheng or the people of Bacheng, this city is my city of Dajin, and the people
We are the people of the Jin Dynasty. Anyone who cares about the people of the Jin Dynasty will definitely do it without mercy. This is the duty of a young man! If these three old gentlemen want to be grateful, they should be grateful to you today!"
Having said that, Xiao Jianshu first faced the direction of Longtai and bowed his hands respectfully.
The three elders looked at each other with a look of admiration in their eyes. After a moment of silence, they all stood up and held their hands in the direction of the dragon platform.
Xu Wenruo saw it in his eyes and was filled with emotion.
Xiao Jianshu then changed the topic and said: "Now that Baicheng is stable and the thieves are far away, the three old gentlemen have come here this time. What do you want to teach me? I am all ears!"
The three of them handed over their hands again, and the eldest man cleared his throat and said: "The danger in Bacheng has been resolved, which is a good thing. It's just that the little old man dared to ask... But no
I know what the young master’s next plan is..."
Xiao Jianshu had never thought that they would ask such a question and couldn't help but be startled.
The old man thought that Xiao Jianshu was in trouble, so he hurriedly said: "If the young master feels that the matter is confidential, I might as well not ask..."
Xiao Jianshu quickly waved his hands and said: "No, no, no, the old man misunderstood. Others can't tell. The three of them are famous elders in Ba City, so naturally...my father is fighting fiercely with the Shen thief in Jiuzhang.
, relied on the grain and grass from Ba City and Longtai in Kyoto. During the previous siege of Liu Xuan and Han Dynasty, neither Kyoto nor Ba City’s grain, grass or weapons could be transported to Jiuzhang. There were some people with ulterior motives in Beijing who took the opportunity to make a big fuss...
...So, I thought that since there is nothing wrong with Bacheng, I will return to Kyoto, firstly to stabilize the situation in Longtai, and secondly, to clarify everything to the emperor and raise food and grass..."
As soon as he finished saying this, the three elders looked at each other, stood up together, saluted and said in unison: "We have an uninvited request, and I hope you will accept it!"
Xiao Jianshu didn't know what they meant. Seeing that they spoke solemnly, he hurriedly said: "Three old gentlemen, just say whatever you want. There is no need to do this..."
The eldest elder Fang said: "Sir, now that Ba City has been settled, people's hearts are still unstable...Although Liu Xuanhan has escaped far away, the leader of the thieves is extremely cunning. Soldiers say, Shui
The situation is unpredictable, and the soldiers are unpredictable. If the young master really leaves Baicheng, what should Liu Xuanhan and others do if they know the news, come back, and kill the general again?"
"Yes...yes!" The other two elders also echoed.
When Xiao Jianshu heard this, Fang Yi smiled and said: "Three old gentlemen, you can rest assured, I predict that Liu Xuanhan will never come back!"
"No, no, no! Young Master, although you are very resourceful, how can you be sure of something that has not happened? If the traitors come again and the Young Master is not in the city, who can the people of Ba City rely on...
...Wouldn’t it be that we will be slaughtered again by then..."
When these three people talked about their sadness, they couldn't help but burst into tears.
Xiao Jianshu looked at Xu Wenruo and Xu Wei helplessly. The three of them tried to persuade them for a long time before the three old men stopped crying.
After their emotions stabilized a little, Xiao Jian Shufang said: "It is human nature for the three old gentlemen to be worried. I wonder what they think..."
The three people raised their hands together and said seriously: "The three old men are recommended by the people of the city. As their representatives, I have come to beg the young master to stay in Ba City for a longer time...Don't abandon the people of Ba City.
And let’s go…”
When Xiao Jianshu heard this, he was stunned on the spot.
Still staying here? My father is still on the battlefield, waiting for food and grass there. I stay here and my father doesn’t care...?
Just when he was about to refuse, Xu Wenruo and Xu Wei shook their heads at him.
Xu Wenruo intercepted the conversation and said: "But I don't know how long, three old gentlemen, the young master should stay in Bacheng!"
The oldest old man hurriedly raised his hands and said: "We also know the situation on the front line, and we dare not delay the young master for too long... We will only stay for ten days, and the young master can leave after ten days...
.How is it?”
After saying that, the three people looked at Xiao Jianshu with expressions of expectation on their faces.
Xiao Jianshu lowered his head and was silent in thought. After a long while, he suddenly stood up with his head held high.
"A man was born in heaven and earth, not just for the people. If the people of one city cannot be protected, how can he protect all the people in the world! Ten days will be ten days. Xiao Jianshu swears here that I will stay in Ba City for ten days. In ten days, if Ba City
If nothing happens, I will leave again. If there is another difficulty in Ba City, Xiao will not return to the capital unless he clears up the trouble!"
Xiao Jianshu held his head high and his chest high, and his words were eloquent.
When the three old men heard this, they were overjoyed. They all wanted to salute again, but Xiao Jianshu stopped them and said: "Three old gentlemen, you don't have to do this. You are the one who should pray for the people. You are the one you should worship!"
As he said this, Xiao Jianshu bowed deeply to them.
Xu Wenruo and Xu Wei saw this in their eyes, and they had more expectations for Xiao Jianshu in their hearts.
The three old men were very moved. The eldest old man suddenly said loudly: "Since Mr. Jianshu has done this for us, the people of Baicheng, if we don't do something, wouldn't it be that we have lived these years in vain!"
"Old man!"
"Brother..."
"Let's go back now and mobilize the people in the city. There is not enough military rations. We, the people of Baicheng, will step in and take out all the food we have stored to support the king's division in Jiuzhang!"
"Yes! That's right! Let's go back right away! The food and grass matters are all on us!"
When Xiao Jianshu heard this, he was inexplicably moved and bowed deeply.
............
After seeing off the three old men, Xu Wenruofang looked at Xiao Jianshu with a smile and said: "Jianshu, there is a truth to this experience, do you understand?"
When Xiao Jianshu heard this, he changed his face and cupped his hands and said, "Please sir, please give me some advice!"
"Xiao Jianshu, you have to remember that no matter what position, power or situation you get in the future, you must keep eight words in mind: the people's support can be used! Don't lose the people's support, do you understand?"
"Kid, remember..."
............
The three of them chatted for a while, and suddenly another soldier came quickly, knelt down and reported: "Report to your Majesty, Young Master... Mr. Bonin, the Governor of the Shadow Division, has arrived outside the gate of the Commander's Hall and wants to see you.
Your Majesty..."
Xiao Jianshu and Xu Wenruo looked at each other in surprise.
Xu Wenruo frowned slightly and said in a low voice: "Bo Ning wants to see me? Why?"
