Chapter 458: A single tree is hard to support (1)
Gongsun Ke said, "Don't ask questions one after another. Thank you for your hard work along the way, so let's take a break first. By the way, where is General Yang?"
"I will explain the battle situation along the way in detail later. The most important thing now is to explain it clearly. What arrangements did the general make?" Zhang Hanshan asked anxiously. It was really rare to make him anxious, at least in Xuan Shaoning's memory.
Gongsun Ke saw that everyone was staring at him, and he couldn't help but feel terrified, so he had to say in detail: "Okay, okay, you are really! The Tang Dynasty mobilized a large army to siege the capital. When the news reached the general, he immediately began to rectify the army and dispatched troops."
"We all expected that Xia Tang would take revenge. What is the specific information you received?" Zhang Hanshan asked.
"The information we received was that Xia Tang gathered 200,000 elite troops to besiege the capital. This time they had devoted their efforts to the whole country. This time the capital was in danger! So the general mobilized Pei Zhenghao's golden armored guards, Lu Xiang's clever guards, Ling Feiyan's red rogue guards and Gu Junyuan's fury guards to go to the capital together. No matter how the emperor of Daliang treats the general, the general who is in the national crisis or puts the overall situation first, he will definitely not allow Xia Tang to attack the capital!"
"No, I want to go to the capital immediately!" Xuan Shaoning roared, and he looked at Zhang Hanshan and asked, "Commander?"
"Accurate! But I don't allow you to take risks alone again!"
"I'll go with you too!" Shi Gong Zhengyuan patted Xuan Shaoning on the shoulder.
"Then don't waste time, set off immediately!" Xuan Shaoning was about to jump on the horse again and wave the whip. Zhang Hanshan turned his head and said to Gongsun Ke, "I will leave the Guangyuan Army to you to properly resettle!"
Now Gongsun Ke couldn't turn his mind. Before he could stop him, someone grabbed him in front of him. Yanzhi and Qi Wantong stopped him in front of the army, and without looking at Xuan Shaoning and Shi Gong Zhengyuan, he said to Zhang Hanshan directly: "We'll go too!"
When Zhang Hanshan took the Han Daowei from Mobei, the fog locked building in the capital had already entered the third day. Compared with the previous two days, the fog on this day was heavier. It was time to change defense, Yan Keran did not return to the mansion as soon as possible. Although he had always been concerned about Yun Xuan and his son, the responsibility on his shoulders told him that every moment was a test, and they could not expect that the Tang army outside the city would launch an attack.
"Everyone thought that the Tang army would take action under the heavy fog, but today is the third day, and they still remained silent. The last general believed that the reason why the demon general was a demon general was that he would never play according to common sense."
Yan Keran vaguely identified the person who was talking beside him through the fog. Out of vigilance, he was closer to some people who were sure to speak, but Jiang Weizhen only responded: "The heroes have similar views, the question is which moment will the demon general choose to act?"
"It doesn't matter at any moment. From now on, we must give our all our strength to every moment afterwards, and the enemy can act at any time."
Jiang Weizhen said it very plainly, but the determination is hard for ordinary people to reach. At this moment, Yan Keran once again had a new understanding of him.
Da Fei said it was true that he was right. People of Jiang Weizhen's level would not catch Yan Keran's eyes at all. Before that, he would rather discuss it with Chen Qianji, even though he knew that Chen Qianji was not a reliable companion.
"You are right, I think so too. The time for the defense is up. Remember to notify me of anything in the next four hours."
"Commander, I have something to say. If the commander wants to find Chen Qianji, it is better to go back and accompany His Royal Highness the Princess." After Jiang Weizhen said that, he bowed and left. Yan Keran looked at the back of this person, and his heart couldn't help but twitch.
Because the fog was too heavy, Yan Keran had not been riding in a sedan chair these days and chose to ride a horse. He was still not allowed to ride a horse in the imperial city. After leaving the imperial city, he turned over and walked slowly towards the mansion. It turned out that Yun Xuan lived in the imperial city and the Yan Mansion for a while, but since she gave birth, she took the initiative to leave the imperial city and return to the Yan Mansion. Yan Keran was extremely grateful for this, especially when he saw his mother holding her grandson and was overwhelmed. He imagined the reunion of his family along the way, Yan Keran couldn't help laughing out loud. This may be the only motivation for him to persevere.
After crossing the street in front of you, you can reach the mansion. Yan Keran suddenly stopped the reins of the horse, and the guard behind him immediately stopped and began to alert. Hearing the movement of the weapons behind him, Yan Keran turned around and said, "Don't make a big deal, there are no enemies. Before returning to the mansion, I plan to go to a place. You four can just follow me. The rest will be on standby!"
At this fork in the road, Yan Keran chose to go towards the inland river. He wanted to meet Du Shaoyin and Shen Ming first. Pedestrians can rarely be seen on the road, and most of them hide at home. It is naturally the safest to hide at home in the current situation, so the entire avenue was almost empty. After walking along the empty avenue for a while, the Pangkui Little Pavilion appeared in front of him.
When Yan Keran pushed the door open and saw no one. As soon as he stepped onto the second floor, he rushed over to the door with a plan. Fortunately, Yan Keran was fast enough, and he could barely avoid it after a flip on the spot. When he turned around, he saw that it was Du Shaoyin standing at the entrance of the stairs.
"It turns out that he is a chef. He would rather be the abacus of the calculation than use a spatula."
"Cooking is my favorite. As for money, I don't care even more when I put it behind me." Du Shaoyin said with a loose arm and said, "At this time, shouldn't you be commanding thousands of troops to prepare to face the enemy, but why are you here?"
"Shaoyin, I can understand that you can't get through many things in the past for a while. I will explain it to you when the battle is over. Today I came here for this battle to defend the capital. I have a premonition that the enemy will take action soon, and I need you and Senior Brother Shen to do me a favor."
“What’s the busy thing?”
"Is Senior Brother Chen here?"
"He went to Tianfu Temple."
"I never thought that Senior Brother Chen actually believed in ghosts and gods?"
"Senior brother is going to pay tribute to the Master." Du Shaoyin stood up and walked down the stairs. When he walked past Yan Keran, he continued: "The academy has been burned, and the Master's body cannot be found. It is natural that the enemy outside the city cannot go out.
Yes, if you want to pay tribute to your master, you can only go to Tianfu Temple. My senior brother and Su Qian donated a sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial sacrific
Du Shaoyin walked past Yan Keran without any intention of calling him together. Yan Keran shouted to Du Shaoyin's back: "I'll go too!"
"It may not be appropriate, right? Qingshan Academy and the Master are both rebels recognized by the court. You are the son-in-law of the current dynasty. What is it for you to appear in Tianfu Temple? Memorial service is a form of one after another. If you have a clear conscience, then it is enough to silently recite the Master's instructions in your heart."
"Slowly chant!" Yan Keran clenched his fists and said, "I have explained these things, and I have also said that I will apologize to you until the war is over. Are you still unwilling to forgive me? Now that the country is in danger, do you have to worry about these things with me at this time?"
"I am just a commoner. I am not as far-sighted as you. In your opinion, it is just a small matter. It is a big deal for me! Ke Ran, you have changed. You are no longer the Yan Ke Ran of the past. Do I have to indicate this repeatedly?"
"Okay, I won't care about these things with you at the moment! I came here today because I had something to do, so I must not go there in vain. I need you and my senior brother to help me!"
"Help you? Ke Ran, you really have become only concerned about yourself. You were not like this before, no!"
"I know very well how I used to be! Don't waste time here, the enemy may take action soon! This is not for me, but for the people in the capital and even the Daliang!"
"Where is Moyan? Do you have no defense of Moyan?"
Du Shaoyin asked this question and Ke Ran was speechless immediately. Xiao Moyan had become the deepest crack between them, a crack that would be difficult to bridge throughout his life. All he could do was bury this deeply and would not ask about it from now on.
"Last time, I didn't plan to care about you, I thought you would only reflect on me, but today I saw that you were no longer guilty. I was so disappointed. If the prince consort had nothing else, Caomin would leave now!"
Seeing Du Shaoyin step out of the door, Yan Keran shouted with impulse and asked the guards outside to take Du Shaoyin down immediately, but in the end he held back and followed Du Shaoyin out of the restaurant.
"Focus on Shen Qianji, he may be the key point of this battle!"
Yan Keran finally shouted. At this time, he didn't care whether there was any hearing in the wall. He just hoped that Du Shaoyin would listen, preferably like this. Du Shaoyin's figure disappeared completely in the thick fog in a moment.
Shen Qianji and Shen Qianji, he had not appeared for several days. Except for the summons of the emperor, he could not see his people at all. Yan Keran had an ominous premonition in his heart. Although Cai Quan was a cunning person, he had always been a step-by-step player before, but after his only son died, his actions were out of proportion. As for Zhang Huaiyuan, he was just a lackey of Cai Quan, and his abilities were mediocre, and he was not worried at all. The one who was most worried was Shen Qianji. Even though the two had worked together before, Yan Keran had always been wary of him.
"I hope I'm thinking too much!"
