Chapter 189 Unresponsive to Requests, Life and Death
In the last chapter of the book, it was mentioned that Ge Rong was a little difficult to deal with King Zhennan's request, and he also wanted to get some for him. However, this matter was different from other matters after all. He tried every means to get the food, but this happened.
Although Ge Rong was the emperor of Da Qi, it was impossible for the emperor to produce food because there was no food in Hebei, so he planned to invade south to get more food.
Where is the King of Zhennan? He wants to solve his urgent need now, and cannot just watch his soldiers starve to death. Now the Wei army is quite loyal, and they did not take advantage of the situation. If they join forces, it will be worse!
King Zhennan’s requirements were not high, but what? Ge Rong really couldn’t spare the time to supply them with food and grass, so the order he gave him was to find a way on his own. King Zhennan sighed and came back. On the way, he thought more and more.
You are more angry, what kind of emperor is this? We have been following him through life and death, and something went wrong. Could it be the Wei army? You are a well-fed man and don’t know how hungry a man is. You have robbed me of my food. Am I really going to be a robber?
?
Along the way, King Zhennan became more and more angry as he thought about it. He returned to the military camp and the soldiers raised their heads and watched Ren Jingyan's every move just like last time. Many people understood this from the expression on his face.
With no intention of returning empty-handed, he sighed and said, "Hey! It seems that your life has been in vain!"
"Yes! You can tell by looking at his expression!" "No, the emperor has always trusted our prince, how could it be possible? He asked for food for emergency, but he didn't give it to him?" Everyone said everything below,
The focus is whether there is food and grass. "Whether there is or not, I can't guess. It depends on what the king says later!" Some people have not given up their last hope. They don't want to listen to the depressing words of the big guys in private.
As soon as the little dwarf Dou Chi saw King Zhennan, he felt like he was seeing his biological father. He walked up to him in three steps and two steps. He was not good at observing words and expressions. He couldn't figure out the depth inside, so he laughed in a broken voice.
Said: "Your Majesty, you have always succeeded immediately when you come back. I believe that this time you will bring a lot of luck to the brothers and come back!"
He was trying to flatter him, but instead of patting Zhennan Wang Ren Jingyan, he remained silent and ducked into the Chinese army's treasure tent with his head drooped. The little dwarf Dou Chi couldn't figure out what was going on, so he followed them.
The most anxious one was Zhang Xialing. The food was lost from his hands. He had been standing guard around the Chinese army's treasure tent, waiting for the arrival of King Zhennan.
As soon as he saw the appearance of King Zhennan, he guessed eighty-nine points of the details, but he didn't dare to ask, so he followed the generals who came in to settle accounts and talked quietly. Many people were saying that the prince ran away in vain.
After one trip, I didn’t get anything. That’s roughly what it means.
Zhang Xialing didn't dare to answer a word. He stretched out his ears and listened carefully. He was so scared! He was afraid that someone would draw fire to him now. At the very least, one person was different from what everyone else said. His
His voice was also very hoarse, "What are you talking nonsense about? Is there anything that our king can't do?" He complained that everyone was talking nonsense.
Who is going to counter him when he talks like this? It is not suitable to debate in such an occasion. As for the sensible people, they looked at Zhennan King with blank eyes and listened to what he said.
After waiting for a long time, Ren Jingyan said: "Brothers, the emperor asked us to find a way on our own, but the court cannot give us food!"
It was equivalent to a heavy bomb. Everyone started talking when they heard this. Some people even argued that they could not have sex with him. Some people still suggested to grab some immediately to tide over the crisis. Sima Ziru listened to everyone. The words became more and more irrelevant and he hurriedly came out and said: "Listen to me, everyone, let's go back first and let the prince be quiet and see if there is any other way. What do you think?" Fortunately, everyone could still listen to the advice and started talking about it. out
The tent instantly regained its calm. Sima Ziru said to Ren Jingyan with a gloomy face: "Your Majesty, I have another idea that can save tens of thousands of our troops!" Ren Jingyan asked as if he didn't believe it: "Sir, aren't you talking to me? Are you kidding me? If I can save all the brothers, I can say that my contribution will be the first one!"
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you won't dare to do what I said?" Ren Jingyan heard that there was something in his words, but he didn't dare to express his position immediately. He frowned and asked: "Sir -" "My lord, do you know that there are other things in Ye City?" There is a place where food is stored”
"Ah! You mean we go -" Ren Jingyan was very cautious and fell into deep thought without daring to say a word.
At this time, the Chinese army outside reported in, saying that a messenger came from the Wei army camp. Ren Jingyan glanced at Sima Ziru, and Sima Ziru sent an order for him: After bringing him in, the Wei army's warriors arrived at the Chinese army's treasure tent. With a fist hug, Ren Jingyan saluted. He sat in front of the case in a majestic manner, looked at the strong man of the Wei army and asked loudly: "Are you the battalion officer of Dugu Ruyuan's tent?"
"The last general is indeed an insignificant battalion officer! But at the request of the pioneer general, he came here to do a great thing of great merit!" Sima Ziru guessed that the so-called big thing was just that these people wanted to take advantage of the situation, or something like recruiting. of
"I and your vanguard generals are the biggest enemies today. Now that you are in my camp alone, you are not afraid of losing your head!" This sentence contained a threatening flavor, but the Wei army camp officer did not have the slightest fear.
"Hmph, you are so stubborn even when you are about to die!" He directly pushed back, and gave Ren Jingyan a stagger, saying: "Why are there so many idiots in the Wei army camp, and they don't speak without thinking, good guy, what are you going to do?" Risking one's life, this is not something that ordinary people can do. Ren Jingyan's heart was filled with anger all of a sudden. He had just been angry in Yecheng. That was his immediate boss, his emperor. It could be said that there was nothing he could do about it. Things are better now. Even a small Wei army camp officer dares to come to my tent and speak nonsense. What is unbearable is that his face trembles with flesh and his beard grows straight.
He shouted loudly: "Come here, take me out and chop him down! Kill him!" The battalion officer who took pictures of the case and the knife and ax went forward to hold Wei Jun in custody and asked for help, but the man did not ask for mercy. The two sides were at a standstill
As soon as Sima Ziru saw that something was not going well, he didn't know what the Wei army was doing, so he killed him. What he did was too extreme. It blocked the road and shouted: "Save someone under the sword. Can your Majesty let me?" Say a few words before making a decision?" This question gave him a buffer. Ren Jingyan also realized that he had been too excited just now and almost did another thing that made him excited.
"Sir, just say it if you have anything to say." Ren Jingyan's anger became obviously much less intense.
"Your Majesty, this man is talking nonsense without thinking about life and death. He should be killed without mercy for contradicting the prince. But can we calm down and think about whether we have gone too far? The so-called two countries are at war without killing each other. , now that someone has arrived in our camp, wouldn’t it be a bit unkind for us to rely on our own sphere of influence to kill him with one knife? Your Majesty, you are not such a person. Let’s let them speak out, and then listen. If it can be used, we will use it. When it cannot be used, we will just blast him out." Sima Ziru's suggestion is very pertinent.
What Ren Jingyan heard was so right. I can't ruin my reputation just because of such a villain. He said with a straight face: "You deserve to die, but our husband is interceding for you. Let me spare you for now."
What on earth did Dugu Lang send you to do after you die? Why don't you call me here quickly!" He spoke like a prisoner being interrogated.
Everyone who says they are not afraid is lying. Who can face life and death calmly? However, people have different degrees of fear. The battalion officer of the Wei army looked like he was crawling out of a pile of dead people. His head was also wet, and he said
"Thank you for not killing me. Our general sent me here to tell you: Although the Qi army is numerous, it cannot escape the fate of defeat. You should think about your future now. Our general Chi
The reason why I have not launched an attack on you is because respecting the king is your business. Our boss also knows a little bit about it, the king——"
"Stop talking! Stop talking! Come here, beat me out with a stick!" The more Ren Jingyan listened, the more he understood. He was here to persuade you to surrender! I would never be able to do what a common man did! So he
The envoy of Wei was not allowed to say another word and was beaten out.
Sima Ziru was dumbfounded when he saw it. Why is this happening? What others said is obviously reality, why don't you admit it! Ge Rong's soldiers looted everywhere. There is a saying among the people in Hebei, "Spring is afraid of no rain, summer is afraid of waterlogging.
I'm afraid of locusts in autumn, snow in winter, and I'm afraid of Ge Rong all the time!", it's so apt. If you still follow such a person, isn't there something wrong with your own head? Wei Jun seemed to be invulnerable, but he said
The current opponent, Dugu Ruyu, is not an ordinary person and he thinks so. There is also Zhang Xialing who has lost his food. He also feels that Ge Rong is too ruthless. There is a saying: The government forces the people to rebel and they have to rebel.
There are also people who don't think so, such as the little dwarf Dou Chi. He doesn't think so when he sees others. Sima Ziru, who usually likes to talk, doesn't speak either. He shouts in a broken voice: "Your Majesty.
, this, what do I think?" Ren Jingyan glanced at him, and the dwarf Dou Chi didn't say anything for a long time. King Zhennan asked: "General Dou, what do you want to say? Come slowly!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, the general has thought of a way, but I don't know if it works or not?"
"Oh -" To Ren Jingyan's expectation, he was the best at fighting Dou Chi, but this was his first time making plans. The other people's voices were somewhat disbelieving, and their thoughts that had just been wandering around were all put to rest.
When he came back, everyone focused their attention on him. No one expected that the short Dou Chi could say such a thing.
What kind of clever plan can the little dwarf Dou Chi come up with?
