Liyang, Qianshan Nandu Town, a piece of slap in the left bank of Liujia River less than three miles in a radius, but it squeezed more than a thousand people.

The wind blew in the evening, and the rain started soon.

The storm blew, which caused the soldiers of the Nandu prefectures surrounded by Liujiahe to be froze.

Except for the local villagers who put ducks in this place, they set up a duck shed on the shore. Looking around, they were all naked. Apart from the reeds and reeds, there was no place to hide. They could only gather together in a mess and broke the reeds around them on their heads. This was just a psychological comforting effect. Some soldiers couldn't stand it, so they took out a fire break and wanted to light the reeds, but it was useless to click them.

"I had known it, I wouldn't have come if I had beaten to death!"

A soldier from Yingcheng Bo Mansion was so regretful that he threw the musket in his hand into the river, cursing.

It's raining, the fire rope is wet, and this fire gun is worse than his mother's fire stick.

Another soldier who was holding his knees and yelled: "It's good to throw it away, but it's hard to carry it."

"Thank you, God, if it doesn't rain, can we still talk here?" The soldiers of Longping Hou Mansion stood up while slapped their butts. The people in Longping Hou Mansion suffered the greatest losses, and now there are probably only a dozen left.

The soldiers around him did not say anything after hearing what the Longping Marquis's soldiers said, because it was the sudden storm that forced the pursuit of the Wei eunuchs, otherwise they would not have the life to run to this place.

"I don't know if the Marquis and the others wanted to withdraw? It's really not possible... I'll surrender." The soldiers of Yingcheng Bo's Mansion who threw the musket into the river looked uneasy at the two straw sheds not far ahead.

The Marquis and the others are inside.

After hearing this, everyone looked at the straw hut. Many people secretly reached out to touch if the silver ingots in their arms fell off when they were looking.

………

The duck shed where the Marquis of Lingbi and Dongningbo rested was built by local people to see the ducks.

In Liyang, there are many mines and many ducks. Every year, there are more than 100,000 ducks transported to the south.

Unfortunately, the Marquis and the others came at the wrong time. The ducks were "green and yellow" now, otherwise they could eat two fresh fat ducks.

The duck shed is made of wood and grass, which is very simple. In addition, the ducklings are not there in winter, so the grass on the top is blowing a lot, and many places are leaking rain, but compared to the soldiers outside, the shed is better than the heavens.

Marquis Tang sat by the shed, with some hay spread on the ground. A dignified Marquis just sat with Yi, staring blankly at the wind and rain outside.

The Marquis was heartbroken, and he could not be hurt anymore. He might not be able to recover without some time.

Jiao Boye was injured in his leg, either because he was beaten or because he fell. His two nephews carried him on the wooden bed where the ducklings were sleeping, and he was also full of sorrow.

"Brother, I'll go find some food."

Jiao Chengyuan whispered and searched in the duck shed, but after rummaging over and over, he didn't find anything to eat. Instead, there were a few bags of chaff for feeding ducks.

But is that thing eaten by humans?

"It's so heavy rain that the enemy soldiers cannot use firearms or cannons, so I'm afraid they won't attack." The person who spoke was Lu Dading, the general of the Lingbi Marquis' Mansion, who was entrusted with the Dusi in the police camp.

"Ephesus Wei doesn't come to beat us, but we can't just stay here. We have to send someone back to Nandu for help as soon as possible, otherwise the rain will stop and we will be over!" Jiao Chengye looked at his uncle worriedly.

Lu Dading smiled bitterly: "Young Master Ye, you have to ask Eunuch Wei's men to get the way to Nandu. Even those who report the news can't go out, so how can there be any reinforcements?"

"ah?…"

Jiao Chengye's face turned dark.

Uncle Jiao also sighed and looked up at Marquis Tang: "Old Tang, please give me some ideas."

Mr. Tang didn't seem to hear it. Uncle Jiao called him again. Before he reacted, he hesitated for a moment. Then he was very calm and said, "Don't ask for help, let's surrender."

"surrender?"

Boye Jiao and everyone in the shed were stunned.

"Yes, surrender, there is no other way to go." Mr. Tang affirmed again. Judging from his expression, he thought about it for a long time before making a decision.

"Old Tang, we are here to kill him, Eunuch Wei!... If he is surrendering him, Eunuch Wei can let us go?" Jiao Uncle Jiao hopes that Marquis Tang will think twice.

"Don't worry, Wei Yi dare not kill us!"

Mr. Tang had already considered this matter a long time ago. He slowly stood up and said to Mr. Jiao: "Far water cannot relieve the near thirst. If you point to the soldiers from Nandu to save us, we may have already come to the gate of hell. At this critical moment, don't think about those useless things. Save your life first!"

"There is no other way?"

Uncle Jiao looked bitter. He knew that Lao Tang’s opinion was right, but it was embarrassing to spread this matter.

Marquis Tang glanced at him and shook his head: "Even if the Nandu can still send troops to rescue us, we have to defend for two or three days. How many people are there now?... The weapons are almost lost, but eunuch Wei has thousands of people. When the attack comes, what can we use to block it? When it is really time to be in crisis, will I, the marquis, go to kill the enemy or your uncle?"

"I"

Jiao Boye coughed twice. He was brave and good at using big swords, but the big sword was not heavy. Moreover, his leg was injured, so he couldn't run away, let alone killing the enemy.

"Marty, why don't you fight to the death to protect you and your uncle from breaking through!"

Lu Dading also stood up. As a family general of the Lingbi Marquis' Mansion, it was his unshirkable responsibility to protect the Marquis' life and maintain the dignity of the Marquis' Mansion.

"I have decided, please send someone to talk to Wei Yan."

Mr. Tang waved his hand, and the chances of breaking through were very slim. He would not take risks with his life. He would not be afraid of losing firewood. As long as he could save his life, there would be some accounts with eunuch Wei.

………….

Eunuch Wei's "command post" is in a small village two or three miles on the right bank of the Liujia River. The owner is a local official. When a large group of officers and soldiers rushed into the village, he was so scared that his legs were weak.

Fortunately, the officers and soldiers did not harass the village, but just asked him to free up the house for the guard to rest, so he calmed down the village. The old couple took their daughter-in-law for a long time to clean up the house. After Eunuch Wei came, he was quite satisfied and asked someone to give him a reward of two taels of silver, which made the old couple excited.

The daughter-in-law looked in her early thirties, but she didn't know that Eunuch Wei was a eunuch. She saw the official always looking at her, her face turned slightly red, but she didn't dodge, and there was a bit of spring in her eyes.

Eunuch Wei shuddered at that time: Sister, we are so familiar, but not so strong...

It was windy and rainy outside, and all battalions stopped attacking and surrounded the remaining troops of Lingbi Hou on the left bank of Liujia River.

In this regard, the nobles of Fengcheng expressed their confusion and believed that Lao Tang and the others should be given the last blow to achieve the goal of everyone going into the water together.

He wanted to see Lao Tang and Lao Jiao in a very embarrassed manner.

"The duck that reaches its mouth cannot fly."

Eunuch Wei replied to the nobles of Fengcheng, and then he saw Song Sibao slipping into the kitchen with two ducks, and his face turned cold on the spot.

"Where did the duck come from?"

Song Sibao quickly said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, the younger one has given money, and the others have given money."

"I've given money,"

The father-in-law's face then soothed, saying to Song Sibao and to his entourage. He said, "It is our family repeatedly requested not to take the people one needle and one thread. It is like this to the subordinates, and even more so to himself. Only by doing this can the people support us, and only by gaining the support of the people can our imperial army be worthy of the emperor's personal army..."

After saying that, he specifically instructed Song Sibao: "Pick out the duck intestines, cut them out and mix them with salt. We like to eat this bite... Oh, use dashi sauce and braised."
