If you think about some things, you will no longer be so entangled. It is not easy to achieve success and fame in this world.

When they returned home, Li Mi and Sui Yi came to report. They had received an order from the court to go to the war with the army. Although they did not say that they had arranged any errands for them, they knew that going out to compete for military merit was the best opportunity to be a marquis and ministers. They were ready in a hurry, so they came over to ask Liu Yu for instructions.

"Continue to go back and prepare!" Liu Yu seemed a little weak and perfunctory when speaking. "The grassland outside the border is a bitter and cold place. This war took a long time. Maybe it would be delayed until the New Year. I thought I would just bring a small dry food bag and a water bag?"

Seeing Liu Yu throwing them into the door, Sui Yi frowned and looked at Li Mi next to him and asked, "Are we going to fight or work as laborers?"

Just as Liu Yu entered the door and discussed it again, for example, asking about his own errands, they were stopped by Lu Chuer, who was on the rotation to hold the door: "Two, have you heard from our son-in-law? Let you go back and prepare for it. I won't entertain you here today!"

A little female guard dared to block the road, which made Sui Yi and Li Mi feel very unhappy, but they also knew Lu Chu'er and knew who she was.

"I said to Guard Lu, your son-in-law is a little abnormal today. He looks as if someone owes him. Go in and ask if someone has been bullied. Let's stand up for him!"

Lu Chu'er said arrogantly: "You don't have to worry about our son-in-law!"

"You little girl, like your son-in-law! Come on, Brother Li, let's ignore her!"

Sui Yi said, and was about to pull Li Mi into the door. Unexpectedly, Lu Chu'er even argued with them. Finally, Lu Chu'er was helpless and changed into a gentle tone and said, "Two prefects, generals, think about it, our son-in-law is going out tomorrow, so he won't give him some time to spend with our general? Is there anything that can't be said tomorrow?"

It is rare that Lu Chuer, who has always been criticized by Liu Yu for being big and brainless, also learned to put himself in the shoes of others. Sui Yi said: "That's true, Brother Li. Let's not disturb Brother Liu's good things. Brother, I remember that there is something, so I won't accompany you. See you tomorrow!"

Li Mi was quite helpless. Seeing the direction Sui Yi was going, he knew that the boy was awakened by Lu Chu'er and went to Yashe to find his Lady Lan family. Poor three brothers, he was the only one who left him.

"Go to find that boy Hu Xuan to have tea!"

Hu Xuan was neglected by them because of his father's affairs, and Li Mi felt it was time to say goodbye. He used to be a comrade in a trench, and he had no overnight revenge.

…………

On this day, the whole Chang'an City was very quiet.

Liu Yu, who was about to go to the battle, made a final explanation to his wife at home. Xu Xuanzhu also took out some of the military books she learned back then and gave them to Liu Yu, so that he might be useful. Liu Yu put them into his baggage. For his "wild path", the deadly military books are useless to him.

Thousands of miles away, Jin Yao City on the grassland became much more lively that night.

Min Shaoqing and Ma Feng, once participants in the Battle of Xuzhou, and a great hero who quelled the King of Huai, this time they encountered a situation that was exactly the same as the Battle of Xuzhou:

The city is surrounded.

The siege is coming again.

Unfortunately, Jinyao City is just a city of earth, which is incomparable to the size of Xuzhou City. Although the siege army outside does not have the same siege supplies as the Huai army, it has endurance dozens of times higher than the Huai army. It takes twelve hours a day, and the cavalry takes turns to shoot rockets into the city, making it difficult to store food and grass in the city.

Fortunately, half of the 20,000 soldiers trapped in the city were equipped with new firearms. As long as the rapid gunfire sounded, the Turkish cavalry would retreat honestly.

"Damn it, heroes are over, heroes are over!"

On the night of April 29, Ma Feng ran down the city tower in a panic while complaining. He was so familiar with this scene. During the days of the Battle of Xuzhou, he almost needed to come to find Min Shaoqing like this every day. He thought the nightmare had passed, but who knew that the same nightmare had begun again.

"A hero, can there be self-proclaimed?"

Min Shaoqing said unhappily and continued to look at the surrounding topographic map. But this topographic map is really unknown. Most of the grasslands are flat and have very small ups and downs. In addition to encountering battles, they can only encounter battles when they leave the city. Whenever the cavalry of the Turks are encountered, the border troops of the Dashun Dynasty will suffer losses.

The Turks fought on horseback, and the border troops of the court have been used to hiding behind battlements since the founding of the Dashun Dynasty. They were not skilled in bowing and horses, so they lost the foundation for being enemies with the Turks and could only stay in the city and wait for death.

"How much food and grass are there?" Min Shaoqing asked.

"I lost a batch before entering the city, and another batch was burned when I came in. Not many of them were shipped. Fortunately, everyone has some of them on them, and it is estimated that they can last for three or five or seven days."

Facing Ma Feng's ambiguity and answer, Min Shaoqing said angrily: "Are it three days, five days, or seven days?"

"Seven or eight days, the most is the most. In fact, everyone has only three or four days of food rations on hand. Fan Dogs are so troubled that they can save food and keep some energy. If this continues, there is no need to wait to starve to death, and the soldiers in the city will be exhausted!"

Min Shaoqing sighed, the situation was indeed beyond his expectations.

In his original opinion, even if Jin Yaocheng was not a big city like Xuzhou, it was almost the same as a county town, at least it could attack and retreat or defend. Who knew that Jin Yaocheng had become an inconspicuous earthen city outside the border after being disrepaired for a long time. Not only was the city wall as low as a bamboo pole to climb in, the land was not big, less than two miles long and wide, about the same scale as a layer of earthen wall around a small town in the Central Plains.

The Turks were not very patient, but they were very patient. Originally, the city would be cut off from water and food without fighting, but the Turks did not have such good patience and siege for a moment. Their siege was different from the Huai Army. The siege began from all sides. As long as the city was guarded for a while, the Turks would kill the city.

The offensive and defensive battle has been going on for two days and two nights. This is the third night and the night that the soldiers cannot stand the most. Two days and two nights are almost the limit of every soldier's body. Many soldiers have never rested since they entered the city. Even after falling asleep for a while, they have to get up to organize defense because the siege is tight.

"Where are the other troops of our Dashun Dynasty? Why didn't we keep up all the way? After falling out, they decided not to come?" Ma Feng complained angrily, "There are also reinforcements from the Uighurs, don't they say they will meet with us in Jinyao City as soon as possible?"

Min Shaoqing sighed, "I think it's not that they don't want to come, they probably can't take care of themselves. Seeing the Turks' current situation, they were prepared for a long time. I thought my tactics were so appropriate. It turned out that they got into the trap set by the Turks!"

Ma Feng comforted: "General Min doesn't have to blame himself. We were taking the initiative to fight against the Turks. Even if we failed and died, we would leave a fortune in history. It's not too bad to think about it!"

Min Shaoqing looked at Ma Feng. There were not many people like Ma Feng who could comfort themselves in such difficult situations. It would be fine if he had succeeded and famous in history. Think about what the history books said? Because of this wrong sending troops, Dashunchao was at an absolute disadvantage in the future in the battle with the Turks. He had to pay tribute and seek peace in order to seek peace?

He would rather leave such a famous name in history!

"The court should send reinforcements." Min Shaoqing looked at the little fire that flashed in the darkness in the distance and said thoughtfully.

Those firelights represent the Turkic soldiers. Min Shaoqing looked at them for a long time and thought about it. Even if the court received the news and sent reinforcements, it would probably be ten days later. From Chang'an City to Jinyao City, it was thousands of miles apart, and it would be difficult to complete this road even if it was ten days to rush around.

At midnight, the Turks who were sieging the city entered a short rest. It was probably because the Turks had dinner again. Every day, only when the Turks had dinner, the soldiers in the city would breathe a sigh of relief, eat some dry food and drink some water, or sleep for a while. Min Shaoqing and Ma Feng leaned on the earthen pile, staring blankly at the vast starry sky.

"On the grassland, looking at the stars in the sky, it's different. Look, they flashed one by one, as if they were within reach." Ma Feng said, and then supported his arms and looked at Min Shaoqing who was sleeping in trouble. "You think, who will the court send to rescue us?"

"Where do I know?"

Min Shaoqing turned his head to the side, not wanting to be disturbed by Ma Feng for his nap.

"I will definitely send the Liu man. Apart from him, no one can lead troops to kill him!" Ma Feng said speculating, "But I don't know if the Liu man is so kind. From the battle in Xuzhou City, it can be seen that he is definitely a person who uses any means to achieve his goal. Even the emperor can be thrown into Xuzhou City, let alone us? If I were him, I would rather die soon!"

Min Shaoqing turned his head slightly and glanced at Ma Feng, then turned his head back.

Ma Feng was comforting himself just now, and now he started to say despair. But this is Ma Feng. In Min Shaoqing's opinion, Ma Feng is the kind of person who doesn't care about everything and is a good person. When others say they want to surrender to the Huai Army, Ma Feng helped everyone to persuade him to surrender. When the emperor arrived in Xuzhou City, Ma Feng did not slacken at all. When he asked for rewards for his merits, Ma Feng did not take the credit, but instead pushed all the credits to him.

Such a person is suitable to be friends, not subordinates. History will not remember him as a loyal minister.

"How do you know that Liu Wenyan won't come?" Min Shaoqing said.

"Is there any more to say? This time we are obviously robbing his credit. This is good. The credit was not robbed and people were laughed at. Liu Wenyan seemed to be loyal to his duties all day long, but he was definitely a petty person. Such a person has great achievements and will not die well sooner or later!"

Speaking of this, Ma Feng added in disappointment, "But it's not too early, otherwise we would have died too!"

Min Shaoqing sighed. It was like the battle in Xuzhou. Although he knew that only Liu Wenyan could solve the dilemma, he did not trust him. He wanted to come but seemed to know that he would not come. Although Liu Wenyan did not personally save Xuzhou City in the battle in Xuzhou, it was indeed Liu Wenyan who forced the Huai Army to retreat. Sometimes, he did not need to send troops to save Wei and Zhao.

"If you don't come, just follow the will of heaven and respond!" Min Shaoqing sighed at the end. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen. The novel is better and faster!
