Xiao Yuanche couldn't sleep since Su Ling left. He only felt frightened and very upset.
He simply told Guo Baiyi to summon civil and military officials to discuss the next step.
After a while, Guo Baiyou, Cheng Gongjun and other civil servants, Xia Yuanrang, Xu Jinghu, Huang Kuijia, Zhang Shiyou, Xia Yuanqian, Le Wenqian, Xu Baiming, Li Mandian and other military generals all gathered in the middle hall.
Xiao Yuanche sat in the middle and asked Guo Baiyi to tell him why he had summoned them. He also made it clear that if he had any ideas, he could just say it without being rigid.
As a result, the whole middle hall was full of enthusiasm and everyone expressed their opinions and talked loudly.
Everyone was talking in a lively manner when suddenly a soldier came quickly to report: "Your Majesty, the chief guard of the old Zhangbei City Gate has something urgent to report to your Majesty!"
"It's an emergency? If Su Ling isn't stationed at the North City Gate, what's the emergency? Why doesn't he come to see me in person?" Xiao Yuanche asked suspiciously.
The soldier was so cowardly that he stammered in a low voice: "My lord, it's better... to summon the chief of guard and let him... say it in person!"
Xiao Yuanche and Guo Baiyi looked at each other, and then said solemnly: "Let him in!"
After a while, I saw the guard chief of the North City Gate, being held up by two or three guards, walking in in a panic.
Xiao Yuanche and everyone took a look and couldn't help but be shocked.
Without him, the image of these people would be too miserable.
Looking at these people, they are all disheveled, their armor is incomplete, and their helmets are crooked.
The guard captain's face was even more pale, with traces of smoke and fire all over his face, as if he had opened a grocery store.
Actually, it's not that miserable at all.
It's just that the guard chief is afraid of Xiao Yuanche
He was so angry that he implicated himself. Halfway through the journey, the people who came with him had their clothes torn, their helmets on crookedly, and their armor torn.
He himself even got black ash from nowhere, and he scratched it randomly on his face.
That's why it has such an image.
In this way, the Prime Minister blames us, and we have a good answer. We risk our lives, but there is nothing we can do.
But their glorious image really frightened Xiao Yuanche and everyone in the hall.
Xiao Yuanche stood up involuntarily, frowned, and said anxiously: "You...how could you do this? What happened at the North City Gate? Tell me quickly!"
The guard captain was rolling around, with mucus and tears flying from his nose. He cried miserably and kowtowed: "Lord! Something bad has happened! Su Ling, Su Changshi, was captured alive by the Shen thief general Zhang Chuyi. Now,
Trapped in the Shen camp, I don’t know whether I will live or die!..."
Xiao Yuanche didn't want to listen. As soon as he heard this, he immediately collapsed on the bench, his face turned pale, and he said with a look of shock: "What are you going to say? Say it again!"
That guard captain, if his heart is broken, he will die. The prime minister blames him, and I can't do anything about it!
"My lord, before the fifth watch tonight, enemy troops suddenly appeared outside the north city and attacked. They were the thieves Zhang Buyi and Zang Xuanba. They also brought about two to three thousand elite light cavalry troops! I urged my subordinates to report to Su Changshi immediately.
My lord, I would like to send troops to help... But I don’t know what Su Changshi was thinking. Not only did he not let his subordinates report to the lord, but he also went to fight alone. His subordinates could not stop him, so Su Changshi went alone.
, who would have thought that he would be captured alive by Zhang Wuyi within less than five seconds of fighting with him!"
"Su...Su Ling! It hurts me so much!"
Xiao Yuanche's face suddenly turned pale, he covered his head and cried out in pain.
Guo Baiyi's face also froze, and he quickly walked over to support Xiao Yuanche and said: "My Lord... My Lord, don't panic, it's important to take care of yourself!"
After saying that, he turned around and scolded: "What have you done? Why don't you fight to get Su Changshi back!"
The guard chief said helplessly: "Why don't we want to? It's just that I can't wait for just a few hundred people. How can I snatch Su Changshi back from thousands of cavalry? We can only fight to the death to close the suspension bridge and close the city gate.
..... Fortunately, Zhang Wuyi's army had no siege equipment, so they withdrew, otherwise the North City Gate would have fallen into the enemy's hands!"
Xiao Yuanche heard this and cried out in pain: "Su Ling! Su Ling! Aren't you always very smart? Why are you so stupid today! If I had known this, I would never have let you guard the North City Gate.
!”
Guo Baiyi then said in a deep voice: "My lord, the matter has come to this and cannot be undone. We should quickly think of a way to attack the enemy camp and rescue Su Ling!"
Xiao Yuanche's face turned pale, and he put his hand on his forehead and said, "I have a splitting headache, and I'm already at a loss for words... Everyone, if you have any ideas, please come up with some ideas!"
Huang Kuijia was the first to jump out and cursed: "Shameless thief, how dare you sneak attack! My lord, Kuijia please order me to rush into the thief camp immediately, kill the birdman Shen Jizhou, and rescue Su Ling!"
Saying that, he turned around and left.
"Come back! Come back!" Guo Baiyi said angrily.
Huang Kuijia had no choice but to turn around and shouted: "Why are you stopping me from offering wine? If it were later, Mr. Su would really not be able to survive!"
Guo Bai
Yi Leng scolded: "You idiot! My lord hasn't spoken yet, why are you so anxious!"
Huang Kuijia was startled, and then Xiao Yuanche sighed and said: "Kui Jia, I know you are brave, but the thieves are very powerful, at least there are more than 100,000 enemy soldiers. You are covered with iron, how many nails can you twist! This matter
We need to think about it in the long term! Think about it in the long term!”
Huang Kuijia slapped his butt anxiously and said, "Oh! My lord! If we think about it again, Su Ling's body will be cold!"
Xiao Yuanche forced himself to calm down and said to Wenwu: "Everyone, we have a clever plan to save Su Ling. Tell us quickly!"
This time the situation exploded, and Xiao Yuanche's civil and military forces were divided into two groups.
A group of people immediately mobilized their troops to rescue Su Ling no matter what.
This faction is headed by Huang Kuijia, Cheng Gongjun.
The other group believes that the overall situation should be the most important thing. Although Su Ling was arrested, he is an important figure. Shen Jizhou cannot kill him with just a few words. Saving Su Ling is not the focus, but to be fully prepared for the battle tomorrow.
Try to fight again.
This faction is headed by Xia Yuanrang and Xu Jinghu.
There is another group that wants to take care of both. Su Ling has to save them, but he also can't rush into the fight.
This faction is headed by Guo Baiyou, Zhang Shiyou and Xu Baiming.
So the three factions each occupied the top of the mountain and became one, fighting with each other and refusing to give in to each other.
Now the middle hall became lively, everyone was spitting, noisy, and dancing like a river boiling over the sea.
Xiao Yuanche was so noisy by these people that his head and ears were buzzing.
Suddenly I felt short of breath and my head hurt terribly.
He couldn't hold on anymore and suddenly shouted: "It hurts me! It hurts me!"
Then his body went limp, he fell on the desk, and passed out.
This time
, the originally chaotic situation became even more chaotic.
Seeing Xiao Yuanche passed out and unconscious, the civil servants and generals suddenly lost their backbone and rushed forward, shouting like princesses.
Guo Baiyi was the closest, desperately hugging Xiao Yuanche, raising his head and yelling: "What are you doing! What are you doing! If you don't give up, you have to retreat! How can the lord survive with such a crowd?"
Enough space, do you want to kill the lord?"
Everyone was stunned, neither forward nor backward, so they had no choice but to freeze on the spot.
I don't know who shouted: "Don't delay the wine ceremony, call the military medical officer quickly!"
With one word to wake up the dreamer, Guo Baiyi shouted to the guard: "Don't be stunned! Call the military medical officer quickly, it's urgent to save the prime minister!"
The guards walked out of the camp and went straight to the doctor's residence.
Guo Baiyi's face turned cold and he said word by word: "My lord is in danger, Su Ling has been captured, and our army is on the line of life and death! My lord has already given an order. My lord cannot take charge of the affairs, so I, Guo Baiyi, will take charge of the overall situation! I now give an order that all idlers will be killed."
Everyone, please return to the camp and wait for orders! Wait for the call! If you disobey, you will be killed without mercy!"
As he spoke, Guo Baiyi sternly drew out his sword, raised it above his head and said, "If anyone is dissatisfied, ask about this sword first!"
Everyone hesitated immediately, but Xiao Yuanche did say something first, Guo Baiyi was really angry, and the sword was right there.
Really helpless, everyone had to retreat silently and disperse.
Huang Kuijia even retreated and turned back three times. In the end, he burst into tears and jumped out.
After everyone dispersed, Guo Baiyi waited for a while, feeling that these people had already gone away.
Suddenly there was a trace of cunning on his face
With a sly smile, he leaned into Xiao Yuanche's ear and whispered: "Master! Master, wake up! Master, wake up!"
Guo Baiyi called out once more, but saw Xiao Yuanche's body suddenly move, one of his eyes that had been closed slowly opened, a look with deep meaning came out, and he whispered: "All gone?
"
Guo Baiyi shook his head and said with a smile: "Yes, now the only ones left here are the eldest brother and me!"
Looking at Xiao Yuanche again, he sat up and smiled teasingly at Guo Baiyi: "Baiyi, how did I sing in this play?"
Guo Baiyi burst out laughing and said, "Brother, this is a good performance. If Baiyi hadn't known the details in advance, he would have almost taken it seriously!"
Xiao Yuanche laughed loudly and said: "It's hard to guard against it. Our army is not monolithic... I have no choice but to do it!"
Guo Baiyi smiled and nodded.
Xiao Yuanche then said seriously: "Okay, the noisy ones are gone, it's time for us to get down to business!"
Guo Baiyi looked solemn, cupped his hands and said: "Please give the order, my lord!"
Xiao Yuanche said without hesitation: "Baiyi, you've worked hard, go to the Hantian Guard camp first, tell Huang Kuijia to order all the elite Hantian Guards, secretly open the North City Gate, wait for Shen Jizhou's camp to relax, and then all rush into the camp.
Directly attack the Chinese army’s tent at Shen Jizhou!”
"Here!" Guo Baiyi said seriously, cupping his hands.
"Tell Huang Kuijia not to make any noise, and the less noise the better, so as not to let the news leak out!"
"Baiyi understands!" Guo Baiyi said with cupped hands.
"Besides, if you go to Yuanrang again..."
When Xiao Yuanche said this, he suddenly paused, waved his hand and said: "No! Go to Shiyou and Bai Ming's camp, ask them to order all their troops, and then set off until there is chaos in Shen camp.
Charge straight out and crush the enemy camp!"
Guo Baiyi said with a serious expression: "Here!"
Xiao Yuanche's expression was filled with excitement, and his demeanor was a bit more heroic and pointed.
"Destroy the enemy camp and fight for success or failure! Tonight! Baiyi, tell them that Xiao Yuanche is serving wine and waiting for them to return victorious at the head of Jiuzhang City and ask for credit for them!"
