"Master Yi, I have a question in my mind. Please tell me the truth!" Zhuge Teng said seriously.
Yi Buyi cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Old Prince, I would like to ask you a question, but Buyi knows everything and will not dare to deceive me!"
"The Yi family is an aristocratic family, but they have never been involved in the affairs of the imperial court. Why are they willing to travel thousands of miles to my palace of the Prince of Limin to be a lobbyist for Lord Mei this time?" Zhuge Teng stood up from his seat and looked straight at it. Wearing Yi Buyi seemed to want to read his mind.
On the early morning of the 20th, Mei Siyuan and Mei Yuanchen led the cavalry and set off from the military camp in Jinzhou, while Yi Buyi also set off from Jinzhou at the same time and rushed to Lizhou where the Prince of Limin's Palace was located. His trip was only for one thing: to ask Prince Zhuge to send troops to assist the defenders of Anxian Post in Suzhou.
On the evening of the 21st, Yi Buyi rushed to the Prince of Limin's Mansion and told the soldiers his identity and purpose of coming. No, Prince Zhuge’s palace didn’t want to see him. Yi Buyi knew that his trip was crucial to the Anxian war, so he stood waiting outside the door and refused to leave.
This stop lasted two days and two nights. For two days and two nights I did not sleep or rest, neither drinking nor eating. On the evening of the 23rd, an hour ago, someone from the palace finally came to invite him in.
Yi Buyi was not afraid at all, he looked at Zhuge Teng and said sternly: "If you act out of benevolence and driven by righteousness, you should go through mountains of swords and seas of fire, let alone Prince Zhuge's palace!"
Zhuge Teng's eyes trembled, and he deceived himself and asked again: "Sending troops to Anxian will do me more harm than good. How can you be sure to convince me?"
"Prince Zhuge's palace has been inherited for hundreds of years, and there is a scale of loyalty in the family education. In the face of great right and wrong, great wisdom and righteousness, how can we talk about small advantages and small disadvantages?" Yi Buyi laughed loudly, "Don't the actions of the old prince support what Buyi said!"
After Zhuge Teng heard this, he stroked his beard and laughed and said: "Haha! That's right! Although I, Zhuge Teng, am extremely disappointed with the court, I can never sit back and watch the territory of Dahua be invaded by other countries!"
Yi Buyi saw a strong sense of masculinity in this old man, and felt very excited. He knelt on one knee and said, "Buyi thanks the old prince for millions of people in Anxian!"
Zhuge Teng bowed and helped him up, smiling and praising: "In this world, how many men can surpass Yi Buyi!"
"Bu Yi dare not take this position!" Yi Buyi said. Suddenly he remembered something and said, "Bu Yi is presumptuous, but I also have something to ask."
"Haha! You know how to bargain with me!" Zhuge Teng laughed. He paused and said, "No need to ask. This morning, I sent people to the Huangzhou Military Camp. At noon the day after tomorrow, Huangzhou The 30,000 armored troops from the military camp will rush outside Suzhou City!"
When Yi Buyi heard this, he laughed with joy and said loudly: "That's great!" After saying this, he suddenly fell to the ground and fainted, unconscious. Yi Buyi came from Jinzhou in a hurry. He spent two days without sleep or rest on the way, and then stayed at Prince Zhuge's Mansion for two days without sleep or rest, without drinking or eating. By this time, his body was extremely tired and hungry. If it weren't for the support of his thoughts, he would have fallen down long ago.
Seeing this, Zhuge Teng murmured: "Having a son should be like Yi Commoner's clothes!"
Outside Suzhou City, Shatuo was in camp.
"What? Only, only three or four thousand riders? Have you never made a mistake?" Chi Hedan exclaimed.
The scout Baifu knelt on one knee, bowed his head and said in salute: "General, my subordinates sent people to inquire several times, and it is true that the enemy's reinforcements only have less than four thousand riders."
"Damn it! The cunning Dahua seeks troops!" Chi Hedan said angrily, "On the left and right, call the six generals to come to the tent to discuss matters! I, Chi Hedan, swear to flatten Suzhou City and slaughter all these Dahua generals!"
After listening to Chihedan's order, the guards hurriedly retreated to find some generals.
It was dinner time at this time, and the Chihedan guards quickly found several generals under their tent.
"General!"
"General!"
All the generals were greeted one by one.
Seeing that several of his generals were already seated, Chihedan said word by word: "Tomorrow, I will conquer Suzhou City!"
The six people sitting here, you look at me and I look at you. A middle-aged general with a goatee stood up and said: "General, the enemy's reinforcements have arrived. In today's battle, our army has a lot of wounded soldiers, and we have been fighting for several days. Should we recuperate for a day or two before attacking again?" "His troops are the vanguard battalion, and most of the people who have fought with Xu Ding'an's troops in the past few days are his troops. After a fierce battle, they suffered heavy losses.
"Ajige, your people have been fighting hard with the enemy for seven days and have lost more than 20,000 people. I naturally know that you don't need to charge this time, so I just plunder the formation on the side. Chidoha, your right army camp Thirty-five thousand people have been on the march for so many days, and they haven't even touched the sword yet. Tomorrow, your right army camp will charge to attack the city!" Chihedan pointed at the black-faced general with a broken tooth.
The black-faced general named Azig stood up and replied loudly: "General, the right army camp has already prepared to leave the camp to attack the city. But, can you give me one more day and send troops again the next morning?"
"Why is it one day late?" Chi Hedan frowned, obviously quite puzzled.
"Back to the general, I sent someone to get a batch of siege equipment. They are on the road now. Just now, the post soldiers came to report that they are less than two hundred miles away from here. They will arrive tomorrow!" Azig replied with a proud look on his face.
Chihedan became interested and asked, "What is it?"
"One crash, two siege towers!" Azig replied.
Chihedan was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Oh, you can actually get this thing!"
The soldiers of the Shatuo Kingdom are indeed fierce, but due to the lack of light industry, the military equipment is relatively simple and there are no large-scale combat equipment. At this time, I heard that Azig actually crashed a car and a siege tower. How could Chihedan be unhappy? In the past few days, Chi Hedan and all the generals under his command have known that Xu Ding'an's troops are brave and good at fighting, far beyond the defenders of Tianmen City and Yanzhou. If we use our superior numbers to forcefully attack the city, we may succeed, but the casualties will be heavy. But there are siege towers and siege towers, which are far different. The Suzhou city wall is only seven feet high, and the city gate is also three feet high. Nine inches behind it can resist the Shatuo soldiers, but it is impossible to block the rams and siege towers. The Shatuo Kingdom is vast and sparsely populated, and every soldier is a hard-to-find strong man, so they cannot fight to the death at will.
"Okay, then wait for the day! Early the next morning, your right army camp will leave the camp and capture Suzhou City!" Chihedan stood up and ordered.
Azig stood up from his stool, walked to the tent, and responded loudly: "My subordinate, Azig, accepts the order! If we send troops the day after tomorrow, we will definitely capture Suzhou City in one fell swoop!"
The fire lamp reflected the shadows of the generals on the tent, and the firelight swayed gently in the wind. The images of the seven generals were performing a shadow puppet show of a decisive battle in the tent.
A bright light came into the room through the transparent window, and Yi Buyi knew that it was already dawn. Opening his eyes, he found that he was in a strange room. He couldn't help but think: "Where is this place? I remember I was chatting with Mr. Zhuge. How could I be lying here?"
"Master Yi, are you awake?" a girl's voice came, and then a little girl dressed as a maid came to his bed.
Yi Buyi was startled and hurriedly got up from the bed.
As soon as he stood up, the maid came over with a bowl of noodle soup and said to him with a smile: "Master Yi, you are very weak. The old prince asked me to prepare some noodle soup for you. Please eat some!"
Yi Buyi did not reach out to take the soup bowl, but stood up reluctantly and asked the maid, "Am I not dreaming?"
"What?" the maid asked with eyes wide open.
Yi Buyi clenched his hands tightly, and the pain he felt made him finally know that this was not a dream, so he laughed and said, "I've done it! Grandpa, I've done it!"
