Chapter 57

After Zheng Yixue was driven out by Xiao Chuye, she wandered around the streets alone.

My father died tragically and the mansion was occupied. Although Anqing was large, he had no place to live.

The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is floating, and the life experience is floating and the rain is blowing.

In the dark night, Zheng Yixue squatted alone on the bridge and slowly fell asleep.

...

When she woke up, she found herself lying on the warm and comfortable bed, while Yu Wan was tidying up her clothes in front of the mirror. Under the rising sun, she seemed very handsome and extraordinary.

“Where is this?”

Zheng Yixue quickly lifted the quilt and sat up. When she found that her clothes were not passive, she was also inexplicably disappointed.

"Awaken?" Yu Wan smiled softly at her, "I wasted my energy last night and found you. This is Zuihuan Tower opposite your house. The shopkeeper and I are old friends, don't worry."

"The City Lord's Mansion is no longer my home."

When he said this, Zheng Yixue's eyebrows were filled with a faint sorrow, which made Yu Wan unable to stop feeling distressed.

"Yixue, I will find out the mastermind behind it and avenge your father."

"The mastermind behind the scenes?" Zheng Yixue looked at Yu Wan in confusion, "You mean, there is someone else who secretly colluded with Dongming and caused An Qing to fall?"

"That's natural." Yu Wan sat on the edge of the bed and took the clothes on her chest. "The Murong family is just a wealthy businessman in a county, so how could they collude with the supreme ruler of the Dongming? They are nothing more than the pawns behind the scenes."

"An Qing is just a pawn of the black hand, a pawn of political struggle. This person must be in a high position, and he is scheming and vicious."

Seeing his firm appearance, Zheng Yixue couldn't help asking, "Do you know who he is?"

Yu Wan shook her head, "I just guess, there is no evidence. I will settle the matter with him when I take over the power one day!"

"At this point, you must not take care of someone you have."

Yu Wan was stunned and said, "Who?"

"Bar King." Zheng Yixue looked out the window thoughtfully. "I always feel that this person is extremely cunning and is far from as simple as it seems."

"Okay. Listen to you." Yu Wan took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was almost nine o'clock at this moment, so he quickly stood up. "Huzi should have rescued your cousin. I also want to go with them to meet the Barbarian King and discuss the next ambush battle. You can wait for me in the room and don't go anywhere."

Looking at his hurriedly leaving, Zheng Yixue suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of happiness. Even if she could not get along with Yu Wan, as long as she could accompany him every day, it would be a kind of happiness.

———

Downstairs of Zuihuan, Yu Wan met Du Zhengyan who had been imprisoned for many days. If he hadn't recognized his voice, Yu Wan would have thought Xu Hu had picked up a beggar to fool him!

I saw the man with a unkempt face, a sluggish beard, a pale face, a thin body, and a foul smell. He didn't have the smell of the second young master of the Du family.

After he washed up and dressed up, he walked towards the city lord's mansion together.

However, when everyone just left the gate of Zuihuan Tower, they saw barbarian soldiers coming and going on the street, with wooden carts coming and going, loading with seized food and grass, all transported to the north gate!

"When I left last night, the food and grass were still in the granary, so why did it be moved to the north gate today?"

Zhao Xunchang looked at the food truck in confusion and said in a daze.

"Don't this bastard want to withdraw now, right?"

After stepping into the city lord's mansion, Xu Hu couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw all the garrisons packing up their supplies and bags.

"Let's go and see the Barbarian King!"

Yu Wan and the others accelerated their pace, quickly passed through the crowd and came to the hall.

After seeing Yu Wan and the others, the Barbarian King stepped down the leaders and generals of the battalions and asked the left and right to give everyone a seat.

Yu Wan was already anxious at this time, and there was no mood to be silly. He stood up and said, "Master, I will see the soldiers escorting food and grass on the road and packing their bags. Where are they going?"

Xiao Jianbang said lightly, "The war has been completed and the food has been obtained. Naturally, I will retreat to the mountains before the Eastern Army comes."

What... the Barbarian King is going to withdraw?

Except for the father and daughter of the Barbarian King, everyone was peering at each other. They finally took An Qing and wanted to use the help of the Barbarian Army to seize the danger. However, they expected that they would withdraw immediately after snatching the food!

Doesn’t this mean that everything I did before was in vain?

Xu Hu was the first to stand up, "King, haven't you promised to help us fight Huang Degong? Why are you now..."

Xiao Jianbang smiled coldly and raised his sleeves, "With this batch of food and grass, the orphan can expand the army. The expedition is insufficient but the self-saving is enough! What is the relationship between the survival of the Western Ming Dynasty and the orphan!"

"The army of Dongming is ten times more important than me, with strong ships and powerful cannons, and excellent weapons. I still hope that my army will be your scapegoat!"

Hearing these words, Yu Wan's heart suddenly became cold. Zheng Yixue really said that Xiao Jianbang was not an ordinary person.

After breaking through Anqing, he immediately crossed the river and destroyed the bridge after seizing military rations, turning against others. At this moment, he finally deeply realized the famous saying: There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests!

The sinister hearts of people are because he thinks others too simply. The Barbarian King, who seems approachable and frank, teaches him another lesson.

The barbarian army withdrew in advance, and the plan to attack Huang Degong's army was in vain, and the destruction of the Ming Dynasty was inevitable.

Can history really be rewritten? Did you just admit defeat?

No!

Yu Wan took a deep breath, clasped his fists and said, "What the king said is indeed true, but have you ever thought about it? With such a large number of food and grass, you will be caught up by the Eastern Army if you can't walk dozens of miles. At that time, your army will be exhausted and have no danger to defend, and I am afraid that it will not escape the danger of being destroyed!

After Yu Want to finish speaking, Xiao Jianbang's face was slightly slower and he smiled faintly, "It's not impossible to ask me to stay and help you, but you have to be alone."

"Please say it, lord!"

"After retreating to the enemy, follow me to return to the royal court. I will grant you the Grand Marshal of the Khitan tribe! From then on, I will become a naturalized clan and cut off contact with the Han people!"

"hiss……"

Everyone took a breath. The Barbarian King made such a big deal, and in the end, he forced Yu Wan to join them. It was so elusive that his heart was as bright as the sea of ​​people!

Should we choose to be the great marshal of the barbarians or watch the demise of Ximing? When this decision was made, everyone looked at Yu Wan with a gaze.

Yu Wan raised his head and raised his chest without hesitation, and said with a righteous heart, "The king's love for me will never be repaid for his death. However, I will be a Han minister for one day and a Han minister for the rest of my life! If the king needs to serve the last general in the future, he will call him to come to him and go there. He just wants me to betray my ancestors and join the Khitan tribe. I forgive my younger generation for not being able to obey orders!"

"Even if you die, you can't accept it!"

Xiao Jianbang was furious and slapped the table, and pulled out the wolf-patterned sword and hung it around Yu Wan's neck!

This incident scared Xiao Chuye's face and she hurriedly stepped forward to hold his father's arm, fearing that his hand would tremble slightly and would kill Yu Wan's life.

"If I can't save the Ming Dynasty, I'm willing to die to thank the world!"

After talking, Yu Wan slowly closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Seeing his rather than surrender, the Barbarian King loved and hated him, and coldly returned his sword to the sheath and sat down straight down.

"Since this is the case, I won't force you. Tell me about your plan to get rid of the enemy!"

After hearing this, not only Yu Wan, Xu, Zhao and Du were all relieved, but Yu Wan finally saved his life.

But I have to say that the concentration of Doctor Yu is really stable, and even the Barbarian King cannot shake him even if he is so coercive and tempted!

Yu Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought for a moment before saying, "When Huang Degong learned that Anqing had fallen, he would inevitably march on land and land to encircle our army. According to the current situation, the Dongming Army was all in Huoshan, and the naval warships were parked in two places, one on Xinzhou Island in Anqing, and the other in Saikou Bay, two hundred miles west of Anqing. Each of these two places was moored by 100 warships."

"The army does not need to worry too much. I have my own way to deal with it. The real big problem lies in the navy. Anqing is passed by the Yangtze River, and the enemy can go deep into the hinterland of our army, so it must be blocked outside Anqing City! But I am not very familiar with the navy and have not yet responded. Brother Du, what are your opinions?"

After Du Zhengyan was named by Yu Wan, he first bowed to the King of Barbarians, and then narrowed his eyes and said, "The Xinzhou fleet has been occupied by our army, so there is no need to worry about this. The real threat comes from the navy in Saikou Bay. At present, the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the Khitan army is not familiar with water wars, so we must not fight against the open flames of the Eastern Army. If you want to block it outside Anqing City, there is only one solution for the present!"

When everyone heard Du Zhengyan say this, everyone looked at him.

Du Zhengyan thought for a moment and said, "Shipwreck!"

What? Everyone took a breath. How powerful can hundreds of warships form surface combat power? If you say no, just don’t want it?

"Did all warships sink?"

Yu Wan felt indescribable pain in his heart. As a modern person, he knew very well the role of the navy army in Hanjing and Anqing.

Du Zhengyan nodded, "The water surface of the Yangtze River is extremely wide, with a depth of several meters. Only when all these hundred ships sink can the surface of the river be sealed! The Dongming Navy arrived in the blink of an eye. The situation is urgent, and General Yu needs to decide as soon as possible!"

"Okay, just do what you said!"

Yu Wan gritted his teeth and said decisively. He weighed clearly what is more important than what is more important.

"Brother Du, I will trouble you to implement the matter of blocking the Yangtze River. Hu Zi, you will bring 600 brothers to help. You must complete the shipwreck before the enemy arrives!"

Finally, he invited the wolf-patterned sword to command the army from the Barbarian King, and then hurried to the outside of the city with Zhao Xunchang and the generals of the battalions.
Chapter completed!
