Chapter 131 131. Determination
Da Wu's words have been held in his heart for a long time, but he knew it was wrong before, so he never said it out of his mouth.

Now that Xiangyang City is about to be destroyed, everyone is in danger, so what is there to worry about?So spit it out quickly.

Da Wu continued: "Yang Guo, you and Wei Xiaobao don't seem to have any supernatural abilities, but they seem to have brought unimaginable benefits to Xiangyang City.

If it weren't for the secret collusion with the Ming army, it would be hard to explain your various actions! "

Collaborating with the enemy army is a terrible crime. Everyone present couldn't help but sweat for Yang Guo, and of course they were also worried about Da Wu.

For such a serious matter, if Da Wudang said it directly in front of the people, it was obviously a shameless act, and he did not hesitate to forge a death feud.

As for what Da Wu said, although it is reasonable, it is only an inference after all, without substantive evidence.

Everyone in the room is a veteran of the rivers and lakes. After contacting Yang Guo these days, they all feel that he is calm by nature, indifferent to things, and dislikes power.If it wasn't for deliberate forgery, it would be hard to believe that he would be a spy.

Commander Zhao said at this time: "Yang Shaoxia and General Guo brought [-] cavalry to meet our team that day, Yang Shaoxia did fight with the enemy's masters with all his strength, killing and wounding many enemies.

If it wasn't for Yang Shaoxia that day, General Guo might have been dragged to death by the enemy cavalry, and our team might have been wiped out as well... If it is said that Yang Shaoxia had an affair with the Ming army, I would be the first to not believe it. "

Guo Fu also said: "That's right, Yang Guo just came down to Mount Zhongnan recently, and he has been practicing martial arts in the Quanzhen Sect and the Ancient Tomb Sect for the past three years, so how could he have anything to do with the Ming army and the Northern Dynasty?"

Everyone nodded, they all felt that Wei Xiaobao's sudden appearance was unreasonable, and it was normal to have something strange.But Dawu speculates that Yang Guo's assassination of the enemy's coach came to Xiangyang for another purpose, which is a bit untenable.

Yang Guo quietly waited for everyone's discussion to subside, then explained to Da Wu in a calm tone: "Brother Wu, I assassinated that General Han, probably because of the enemy's deliberate connivance, but I really didn't have any relationship with the Ming army." collusion.

As for Wei Xiaobao, although he is young and usually not steady, he is actually a person with a lot of ideas, besides, this matter is not all caused by him.

Both Fujian Fuwei Escort Bureau and South Shaolin Temple are interested in developing a grand plan in the troubled times, plus the Tiandihui, the reason why these three parties help Xiangyang is based on a clue, and it is not as weird and abrupt as everyone thinks . "

Everyone listened to Yang Guo's words, speculated in their hearts, and believed him a little more.

Da Wu Ze was still paranoid and jealous, looking at Yang Guo with hostility.

At this time, the most critical judges are of course Guo Jing and Huang Rong and his wife, and everyone turns their attention to them.

Guo Jing heard that Da Wu was suspicious of Yang Guo, he didn't scold his disciple for talking nonsense like usual, he only persuaded him softly:
"Dawu, we must be vigilant in dealing with people, but we must not be too stubborn and go to extremes."

Da Wu has always been convinced of his master Guo Jing, he lowered his head and said softly: "Yes."

Huang Rong held Guo Jing's arm slightly, and looked up at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, full of admiration.

Guo Jing stood up. He was not tall, but his shoulders were broad, and he seemed to be able to withstand the collapse of the sky.

Everyone in the hall looked at the actual Lord of Xiangyang City together, knowing that he was about to give an order.

Over the years they had gotten used to following his orders, though not always correctly.Sometimes it will be ruined because of a wrong command.

But one thing is certain, this person will live and die with Xiangyang, follow him may not be able to live, but it must be life and death together.

Huang Rong, who was always very determined, also remained silent, waiting for Guo Jing to make a decision.

In the end, Guo Jing looked ahead and said firmly: "I believe what Wei Xiangzhu said is true.

Commander Zhao, order 3 horses, and we will go out of the city to receive reinforcements from outside the city!

Rong'er, you lead the remaining defenders and hold on to Xiangyang City. If we accidentally fall into the enemy's trap, then you just treat us all as dead in battle. No matter what the situation, you must not open the city gate and hold it tight! "

Guo Jing finally chose to go out to respond. Although it was risky, it was also an excellent opportunity to get rid of the crisis at the moment.

Seeing Guo Jing's resolute look, Huang Rong couldn't help sighing softly when she was agitated: "My silly brother, if you die in battle, Xiangyang City will last for a while in my hands, and it will eventually be conquered." '

But of course it's not good to speak out at this time to vent everyone's anger, Huang Rong also calmly said: "Don't worry, we will guard the gate of Xiangyang City and wait for you to return safely!"

Although after Wei Xiaobao brought the news, the city of Xiangyang had already made preparations these days, but the tens of thousands of horses was too large, and it took a long time to rectify before they came out from the side door in a mighty manner.

The enemy spies in the dark saw the Xiangyang soldiers leaving the city, they were frightened and panicked, and hurriedly reported to the officer.

The army of Xiangyang City marched for more than ten li, and sure enough, in the northwest of the city, they found two armies and horses fighting in a scuffle.

One of the troops was dressed in black and armor, with the sun and moon logo embroidered on its shoulders, and the sun and moon flags were hung high in the team. At a glance, it could be recognized that it was the Ming army that had fought for more than ten years.

The other side is relatively scattered, and even the costumes are not unified. There are actually many monks with bare heads wearing monk uniforms, and the weapons they hold are simple iron rods.

Yang Guo stood beside Guo Jing and said, "Many of them should be monks and soldiers from the Southern Shaolin Temple."

Guo Jing nodded and said with great joy: "Look at their posture, it is a real confrontation with swords and guns, and it is definitely not a show to lure us out of the city. This time Xiangyang City may really be saved!"

Lu Youjiao, Commander Zhao and other masters and generals all came with the army, they also saw this and were equally overjoyed.

Not missing this opportunity, Guo Jing waved his hands and shouted: "Go!"

More than ten miles away, the Ming army camp.

In the Chinese military tent.

The head coach Zhu Yuanzhang sat safely on the tiger leather chair in the middle, with military adviser Liu Ji on the left and deputy general Xu Da on the right.

Far away from them, sat Yang Dingtian, the envoy of Mingjiao Dharma King, Jinlun Dharma King, Qiu Qianren, Duan Yanqing and others.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned slightly to the military commander on the left, and asked, "Excuse me, sir, what is the situation in the south now?"

Liu Ji respectfully replied:

"Shu people are greedy for chaos and enjoy misfortune. When the former emperor of the Southern Dynasty moved his capital to Lin'an City, it was the Bashu pacifier who first declared that chaos would not be tolerated, which buried the hidden danger of chaos in the south. But now the Qingcheng and Emei factions are divided into two groups to rule Sichuan. On the contrary, the government was elevated.

The Duan family of Dali lives in the southwest, and they are dedicated to self-reliance, so they should not get involved in the troubled times of the Southern Dynasties;

Gusu Murong is ambitious and will definitely wait for the opportunity;

Tiandihui, Fuwei Escort Bureau, and South Shaolin Temple have formed an alliance, and now they have actually controlled the Fujian Road and expanded outwards. There is no powerful force in the south of the Yangtze River and the south of the Jinghu Lake that can resist it, and it is expected that they will be annexed by it.

——The alliance of three forces is actually controlled by Lin Yuantu from the Fuwei Escort Bureau. In the future, one of the four southern parts will probably belong to him.

Of course, the orthodoxy of the Southern Dynasties was still in the Lin'an Mansion. The emperor of the Southern Dynasties was still alive, with 20 troops, and there were especially many capable ministers and generals in the court. "

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "No wonder Lin Yuantu will send heavy troops to Xiangyang to rescue this time. If our Ming army breaks through Xiangyang City and unifies the north and south, it will be a matter of course, and they will have no chance to fish in troubled waters."

Liu Ji was in awe of the lord, and although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't need to answer these words, he still replied very solemnly: "That's right. Xiangyang City, with its power, won a gap for all the speculators in the southern world."

Zhu Yuanzhang hummed, turned to the right again, and asked Xu Da, "Brother Xu, if you lead the army to encircle the Fujian reinforcements sent by Lin Yuantu, how many people can be captured?"

Xu Da was wearing heavy armor and looked majestic, but his eyes were surprisingly gentle.He pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "I have never seen this army before, so I don't know what to do.

But if, as Mr. Liu said just now, the soldiers recruited by the forces of the rivers and lakes have more than enough bravery, they must not have enough opportunities to change the battle formation.If you give me [-] elite soldiers, you may be able to win. "

Xu Da's voice is rough, but his tone and rhythm are slow and orderly. It seems that he is a rough person with fine details.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly and said: "Who doesn't know that Brother Xu, you never fight unprepared? Since you say you can win, you will definitely win.

However, Xiangyang City may not sit idly by, if they send troops to respond, our army will inevitably suffer from the enemy."

Without waiting for Xu Da to speak, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the group of martial arts masters, and finally fixed his eyes on Jinlun Fawang, and asked with a smile:

"Master Jinlun, do you think the defenders of Xiangyang City will fight hard and go out of the city to meet them?"

Ever since Jinlun Fawang came into contact with Zhu Yuanzhang, he felt that although the new coach had low skills in martial arts, his skills were quite remarkable. With just a few words, he often pushed and pulled several of their top masters to confuse them.

So at this time, he replied cautiously: "In the past month, Xiangyang City suffered consecutive defeats, and even dared not leave the city anymore.

The old man thought that the defenders of Xiangyang City would definitely stay within the city gate and would never dare to take risks. "

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to hear him, and didn't respond, but turned to ask Xu Da, "Brother Xu, what do you think?"

Xu Da still thought carefully for a while before he said: "What the king said is not unreasonable. If I were in Xiangyang city, I would never abandon the strong city wall and let the soldiers go out of the city in danger. I will try to delay it. Other ways to break through."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, motioning for him to continue talking.

Xu Da said: "But in the matter of fighting, there can be no chance. We can't judge the movements of Xiangyang defenders with common sense.

I think that if the female Zhuge Huangrong gave the order, she would probably be like me, wait and see for a long time before speaking; and if it was the Guo Jing I saw a few days ago, she would attack without fear. "

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Yes. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles... Xiangyang City has always been ruled by Guo Jing, and his wife Huang Rong is only on the sidelines.

So brother Xu, if the main force of Xiangyang goes out of the city to support them, how many people do you think can be given to you to win? "

Hearing this, Xu Da closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then slowly said: "Ten thousand elite soldiers are enough."

As soon as he said this, most people in the tent couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Although Yang Dingtian, King Jinlun Fawang and the others don't understand military affairs, they can barely understand basic calculations.

Just now Xu Da said that if you give him [-] elite soldiers, you may be able to win more with less and defeat the reinforcements from Fujian.

Now it is estimated that the main force of Xiangyang City defenders will go out of the city to meet them. At that time, the Ming army will inevitably be attacked on both sides. Why did he say that only [-] elite soldiers are needed?
Why do you say less and less?This person looks calm and wise, could it be that he is actually a fool?

When everyone was puzzled, Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Ji and a few others smiled, as if they had guessed what Xu Da meant.

Another general in the seat, surnamed Chang and named Yuchun, said harshly:

"General Xu is boasting a bit. If you send me, Chang Yuchun, and give me [-] troops, you will be safe. I only bring [-]. I'm afraid even Guo Jing will be difficult to trap."

Xu Da explained: "The [-] elite soldiers, regardless of the reinforcements from Fujian and the Xiangyang defenders who came out of the city to meet them, just attacked Xiangyang City from the front.

When they rushed back to the city for rescue in a panic, it was time for the [-] troops led by General Chang to dispatch. "

When he said this, Chang Yuchun immediately clapped his hands and said:
"This plan is very good! At that time, General Xu, you will also attack the enemy troops outside the city, and we will attack them. In addition, they are concerned about the safety of Xiangyang City and their morale is unstable. We will surely win!"

By this time, Jinlun Fawang and others who didn't know how to fight knew about Xu Da's strategy of attacking east and west with a loud noise.

As for the details, there are naturally many things worth deliberating. Using troops to deploy formations, feint to retreat, when to double-team, and when to make a general attack all require extremely experienced battlefield experience. .

But with an invincible general like Xu Da strategizing, and a brave general like Chang Yuchun charging into the battle, the defenders in Xiangyang must suffer disaster this time.

All the masters in the tent showed smiles, but Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Ji and others had serious faces, always planning something.

The Ming army's advance team was only [-], and they were able to stalemate with the Fujian reinforcements for a while. When Guo Jing's [-] elite soldiers arrived, they were powerless to resist, retreated steadily, and were quickly scattered.

This time the main purpose was to welcome the reinforcements from Fujian, so Guo Jing did not chase after and wipe out the remnants of the Ming army, but met with the leader of the reinforcements.

Yang Guo vaguely knew this leader, he had met him a few years ago, he was one of the deacons in power in South Shaolin Temple, his dharma name is Kongji.

Guo Jing's face was full of smiles, he squeezed Kongji's hand tightly, and said, "Master You Lao worked tirelessly to come to Xiangyang for rescue from thousands of miles away."

Kong Ji admired Guo Jing, the world-famous hero from Xiangyang, and hurriedly said: "Hero Guo is so righteous, for the sake of the country and the people, and has devoted himself to the foundation of the South for many years, this is truly hard work.

The little monk is only following the order of the abbot to lead the soldiers to bring food and grass, so what kind of hard work is it? "

After saying that, he led Guo Jing and others to look at [-] soldiers, [-] stones, grain and grass.

Guo Jing and the generals in Xiangyang City looked at the soldiers, horses, food and grass in front of them, and they all felt desperate.

With these aids, Xiangyang City can at least survive the strict blockade of the Ming army for one more year.

When the deep winter came and the weather outside the city was freezing, the Ming army would have to withdraw, and Xiangyang City could hold another extremely difficult round.

Everyone's depressed emotions in recent days can't help but ease up, and the expressions on their faces are much more relaxed.

But as the saying goes, extreme joy begets sorrow, and at this moment, a disciple of the Beggar Clan suddenly rushed to report: "The big thing is not good, the enemy suddenly appeared with a large army, set up several giant siege vehicles, and launched a fierce attack on the gate of Xiangyang City! "
