Not yet,
One person and one horse rushed into Qinjiazhuang like lightning.
In the Qin Mansion, Qin Ming held his chin with one hand and sat bored on the sofa in the office.
[It’s already this hour, why hasn’t the palace’s decree arrived yet? ]
[It shouldn’t be! Could it be that someone in the DPRK was causing trouble? ]
Just as Qin Ming was wondering what happened, there was a sudden knock on the office door.
Qin Ming raised his head and glanced at Wan'er.
Wan'er understood, stood up, opened the door, and led Qin Da in from outside.
Qin Da bowed to Qin Ming and saluted.
"Sir, Butler Cheng from Duke Lu's Mansion is here, saying that the young master has asked someone to bring you a letter."
Qin Ming stood up suddenly, with a happy face and said excitedly:
"Quick, ask him to come in."
"Here."
[It must be that tough guy from Xiong Da. He received the soft armor and thank-you letter from me. I wonder how he and Chu Liang are doing lately? When can I return to the court as a teacher? ]
[Don’t tell me that I haven’t seen him for a while, I still miss him! ]
A few moments,
An old man wearing a gray gown and a black turban walked in.
"Old slave Cheng Quan, please pay homage to the man from Qin County."
Upon seeing this, Qin Ming hurriedly helped Cheng Quan up.
"Steward Cheng, it's just a letter. Why are you here in person?"
Cheng Quan hunched over and said nothing.
The silent look made Qin Ming's heart tighten, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart!
In silence, Cheng Quan took out a blood-stained letter from his arms and handed it to Qin Ming with trembling hands.
"Mr. Qin County, this is a letter from the young master to you."
Qin Ming glanced at the envelope and immediately became anxious.
He grabbed the letter, opened the envelope with trembling hands, and took out a piece of paper stained with blood.
"Brother Ming, my good brother, thank you for the treasure armor you sent me."
"Without him and his father, he might have been found outside Lanzhou yesterday!"
"hehe..."
"I miss my days in Chang'an so much!"
"Ha... It's a pity that I and Chuliang may not be able to go back!"
"As a brother, I'm asking you to do something. If our two brothers die in Lanzhou with our father, the Cheng family will ask you, brother, to help take care of them."
"Don't let my little brother and mother be bullied!"
"With your temperament, you will definitely agree, right?"
"You can never mistake someone! If there is a next life, we brothers will still be brothers!"
...
After Qin Ming read the letter, he couldn't help but tremble all over. He subconsciously touched his trouser pocket to light a cigarette, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find it.
"F*ck!"
His eyes were dull and he sat slumped on the chair!
Wan'er clutched the handkerchief tightly with both hands, and for a moment she didn't know how to comfort Qin Ming.
She knew that Qin Ming cared about Mr. Cheng as his friend.
Cheng Quan looked at Qin Ming's appearance and felt the same sadness.
Just this afternoon, a general from the Cheng Mansion who went on an expedition with the army returned to the Cheng Mansion wearing a blood-stained battle armor.
According to his oral account, he fought his way out of the siege along with more than a dozen Hong Ling envoys from the army!
The purpose is to pass back to the Cheng Mansion what Lu Guogong confessed before he fell into coma!
Thinking of the current bleak situation of Cheng Mansion, two lines of turbid tears flowed down Cheng Quan's cheeks.
But even so, Cheng Quan still raised his head and said stubbornly to Qin Ming:
"Mr. Qin County, my Alang is wise and powerful. He will definitely be able to defend Lanzhou and return in triumph!"
Qin Ming came back to his senses after hearing this.
yes! How could I have forgotten Cheng Yaojin, this evergreen tree of the Tang Dynasty?
There is a character named Cheng Yaojin in "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang".
In other words, Cheng Yaojin in history would never die in Lanzhou!
Damn it, no, history has long been changed by myself, this butterfly.
It should be noted that the reason why Zuo Lingjun Wei went to Lanzhou at the beginning of the year was because Baiqisi accidentally discovered the unusual movements of Tuyuhun's army on the way back to cotton seeds.
And the reason why Bai Qisi went to look for cotton was because of himself!
Thinking of this, Qin Ming hurriedly asked:
"Steward Cheng, what happened in Lanzhou? How are Uncle Cheng and the others doing now?"
When Cheng Quan heard this, he wiped the tears from his eyes and told Qin Ming the news that his general had been brought back.
Qin Ming couldn't believe his ears after hearing this. He never expected that the current situation in Lanzhou was so severe that the city could be destroyed and people killed at any time.
"Steward Cheng, before you came, was there any news from the court?"
Cheng Quan shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"Old slave, I'm just a servant. I don't know anything about the affairs of the court."
"Qin County man, I have to rush back to take care of the house. If Qin County man has nothing else to do, I will leave now."
Qin Ming nodded and said:
"I'll give it to you."
.......
After a while,
Qin Ming frowned and pushed open the office door.
"came back?"
When Qin Ming heard this, he raised his head and nodded when he saw the figure on the sofa.
"Grandpa, why are you here?"
Li Yuan pointed to the sofa beside him and motioned for Qin Ming to sit down.
"Girl Wan was worried about you, so she ran to the backyard and found me. Ask me to come over and enlighten you."
Qin Ming sat on the sofa and forced a smile.
"Have you heard what Wan'er said?"
Li Yuan nodded slightly.
"heard."
Li Yuan patted Qin Ming's shoulder and comforted:
"Lanzhou City, the wall is three feet wide and five feet high. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as there is enough food and grass in the city, it won't be a problem to hold on for a few months. You don't have to worry too much."
Qin Ming nodded and said:
"I hope so."
After finishing speaking, Qin Ming looked at Li Yuan with some suspicion and asked:
"Old man, how do you know so much about the walls of Lanzhou City?"
[The city wall of Lanzhou City was rebuilt by my order in the first place. Can I not be clear about it? ]
Li Yuan sneered and said:
"A few years ago, I went to Lanzhou to visit friends and climbed to the top of Lanzhou City."
Qin Ming suddenly realized.
He lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly asked:
"Old man, you said before you were old that you once led troops to fight in wars when you were young. Is it true?"
Li Yuan nodded and said:
"That's still fake! I think back then..."
Upon seeing this, Qin Ming quickly reached out his hand and interrupted Li Yuan's next bragging!
"Master, in your opinion, how long can Lanzhou City be defended if there is sufficient food?"
Li Yuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then said:
"The armies of Tuyuhun and the Dangxiang people have always been dominated by cavalry. They are good at fighting in the field but not good at attacking cities!"
"If I were the coach of Tuyuhun, I would definitely make use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, and besiege Lanzhou City instead of attacking it."
"Then, I will send out cavalry to plunder the towns, villages, and even counties around Lanzhou City."
"On the one hand, they plundered grain, grass, money, and people to supply the army! On the other hand, they forced the defenders in Lanzhou City to go out to fight in the field!"
"In addition, they can also send cavalry to block the army supported by the imperial court!"
As Li Yuan spoke, his expression gradually became serious.
