: The willows and flowers are bright

In the Shanhaiguan period, Gao Di waved his hand to ask the soldiers who came to report to retreat, and his face was gloomy and clear, and he couldn't see what he was thinking. This soldier came to report the bad news that the food and grass that had been transported to Ningyuan was taken away by the Jin people. After hearing about this, some of the generals in the hall were in a state of ease. A few of them wanted to lead troops to help Ningyuan, but Gao Di refused. He looked at the generals and said, "Now the news that the Jin people have received is 200,000 people in Liaodong this time, which is more than all the people guarding Liaodong. If we meet the Jin soldiers who are good at fighting outside the city, we are afraid that our troops will only die. So I will not let you do such a confused thing and harm my Ming Dynasty!"

"But sir, if you don't send people to rescue and you can't send food and grass to Ningyuan, you're afraid that the 20,000 troops there will be no way to resist the attack of the Jin army. sir, I'm afraid we..." Wu Xiang said worriedly.

"They were all found by themselves. If Tang Feng and Yuan Chonghuan were willing to obey their orders that day, such a situation would have happened? Now they not only harmed themselves, but also exhausted me, the Ming Dynasty, 20,000 elite soldiers and tens of thousands of people, were in siege, and they were in danger. It would be impossible to redeem them if they died!" He snorted heavily.

"Sir, although Lord Tang and the others are wrong, those people and the people are all military and civilians of the Ming Dynasty. We cannot watch them being harmed by Jianlu. We must think of a way to save them." Zhao Ruijiao couldn't help but say.

Gao Di looked at the generals below who had such thoughts, and did not dare to stop their thoughts immediately. He just said in ambiguously: "I have sent the food and grass last time, but I didn't want to be robbed by the Jin soldiers. If I send it again, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass that level. Moreover, many people and people in Shanhaiguan are also consumed a lot, so it's not easy to squeeze out some more expenses. Let's do this, wait for me to plan carefully to see if I can move some food and grass out, and then order the army to send it. I hope that our troops can break through the siege of the Jin soldiers and send the food and grass into Ningyuan this time!"

Finally, Gao Di persuaded the generals to persuade him, and he was dry and said, and after drinking a large cup of tea, he ordered the generals to go back. As soon as they left, Gao Di's face, who seemed to be as anxious and helpless as them, became cold. He sneered and said in his heart: "If you keep Ning Yuan's official this time, it will be really over. Why should I go to save you? With the robbery of the food and grass I sent before, I can also explain to the court. After a few more days, Ning Yuan will be out of food and grass. If there is no food and grass, the army will have no fighting spirit. Even if I want to send food to save you, you will not be blessed to suffer."

Although he knew that Ning Yuan would lead his troops to compete with the Jin army as soon as he broke, he would rather do this than watch Tang Feng and the others make contributions and he was punished by the court because Gao Di said from the bottom of his heart that he was a villain. And he also thought that perhaps he could retreat with the strength of Shanhaiguan and the 100,000 troops under his command, and that he would not only be innocent but also have achievements.

"Sir, all the food in the warehouse has been used up. The military and civilians in the city will be out of food tomorrow. What should I do?" The military officer looked at Tang Feng and others with a bitter face and asked. He was obviously under a lot of pressure.

Tang Feng and the others had known about this for a long time, and they had all the cost in the granary these two days, but after hearing this, I felt nervous. After a long time, Yuan Chonghuan said powerlessly: "I understand, you go down first. We will think of a solution."

The lobby of the command post was quiet again. I don’t know how long it took, but Tang Feng said: “Now we have really reached the last moment. Even if Gao Di wants to deliver food, he can’t get in. There has been no news from the court, so he doesn’t know when he will deliver food and grass.”

"Yes, once there is no food, the soldiers in the city may be able to last for two days, but those people will not be as obedient as soldiers. Do you really want to push them down the city?" Zu Dashou said with a wry smile.

Since that incident two days ago, Tang Feng has sent a lot of people to take care of the people in the city, afraid that they will do something. Fortunately, although the food provided in the past two days is small, it is still enough, so the people are still at peace. But once the food is cut off, the people who have no military regulations will do anything. Tang Feng can't guess what they will do. When he thought of the hideous faces of the people who were responsible for Yuan Chonghuan that day, Tang Feng shivered unconsciously. If they really attacked the city gate collectively, and the Jin soldiers attacked from outside, Ningyuan City would be immediately broken.

"No, I can't let Ningyuan City be destroyed like this!" Tang Feng shouted in his heart. He raised his bloody eyes because of his nervousness and looked at Zu Dashou and the others and said, "If the people really want to cause trouble, we can only remove them first. In this way, we can ensure the stability of the city!"

"No, we guard the border to protect the people. How can we slaughter our Ming Dynasty's own people?" Yuan Chonghuan immediately opposed, and he looked at Tang Feng with incredible eyes. Tang Feng had no intention of evading. He said to his eyes: "Then do you have any good solutions? If Ning Yuan loses, the Jin army can march straight into Shanhaiguan. Do you think that Gaodi can block more than 100,000 Jin soldiers?"

"I..." Yuan Chonghuan said a lot about it, and after a long time, he said: "We must not hurt our people!" He said something a little like he was saying to Tang Feng, and it seemed that he was cheering himself up, as if he was shaken.

"Brother Elementary, you should know which one is more important than the people in Ningyuan City or the people in Guanzhong. If the Jin people enter the pass, my Ming Dynasty will be shaken, and the people in the world will fall into trouble! Beijing is in Shanhaiguan, and the current emperor and all the ministers in the court are..."

"Enough!" Yuan Chonghuan shouted loudly and said in pain, "Don't say it again, I think about it again, there will always be solutions!"

"By the way, why don't we take the initiative to send troops to kill Jianlu off guard? Maybe we can even seize some food and grass into the city, and then we can wait until the imperial court's food and grass transport will come." Zu Dashou suddenly put forward his own idea.

"I'm afraid the Jin army has been guarding against us for a long time. Since they can use the matter of our food to disrupt our morale, they will of course guard against us fighting to the death at the last moment. With the current morale of our army, we are afraid that we are not the opponent of the Jin people at all. Moreover, without the help of city walls and artillery and other fortifications, even if we have the same force on the plain, we can't stop the Jin army's cavalry. This method is absolutely impossible!" Tang Feng immediately shook his head and denied it.

After thinking about a few ways but failed, the hall fell into silence again. Tang Feng said for a long time: "I was in a hurry just now, and I thought about killing those people. If Brother Yuan, you really don't want me, I won't go against your intentions. If this happens, from tonight, we will deploy a large number of troops in the city to prevent the people from doing something that will make Ning Yuan lose. Dabao, go and arrange it!"

Yuan Chonghuan also smiled apologetically and said, "I also know that Yizhi, you care about the court and the city, but you must not be sure. I really don't want to do such an inhumane thing!" After calming down for a while, he had to admit that this was the last solution.

Seeing that he could understand him, Tang Feng felt comforted. The two looked at each other and threw the previous argument aside. At the same time, they stood up and walked out. They were not at ease with the situation in the city now and wanted to see the situation in the city. Today the soldiers had a piece of cake made of wheat, but everyone ate it in small mouthfuls as delicious. They all knew that the city would be out of food from today. But when they saw Tang Feng and the others, the soldiers still stood respectfully because they knew that these two adults were the same as themselves. The soldiers actually didn't want much. As long as the Lord General regarded himself as his brother, they would happily accept the order even if they died.

Looking at the soldiers who were forced to fight, Tang Feng felt a little grateful. He didn't know what to say or do, but just bowed to the soldiers. After patrolling the city, Tang Feng went to the north of Ningyuan alone to see if there was the appearance of the grain transport ship he wanted to see on the sea. In the past few days, he has been here every day, and sometimes he thinks that he is about to become the mythical Hufu Cliff.

The sky was completely dark, and the sea was also pitch black. In fact, Tang Feng couldn't see anything, but he still tried his best to look far away, but it was still dark. "Hey, it seems that history has really changed because of my intervention. Even Yuan Chonghuan could not defend this Ningyuan City!" Tang Feng thought of disappointment and was about to turn around.

Suddenly, his eyes seemed to have captured a bright spot in the distance, which seemed to be a star, but when he looked up at the sky, he found that Tainankong was completely covered by clouds, and there was no starlight at all. "Is it because I was dazzled? Or I wanted to see something too much, so I had hallucinations." While mocking himself, Tang Feng looked at him hopefully again.

Sure enough, there was light, and more than a little, dozens of light flashing on the sea surface. It was not starlight, but light of light. Ignoringly, Tang Feng also saw hazy shadows, which were wooden boats!
