Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1265

Although they were tricked by Guo Yeyin and transferred away the gold bricks they were determined to win, they only occupied a nominal empty city.

But this did not dampen Yu Jingde and Duguyu's confidence in regaining the gold bricks.

Yu Jingde took his three sons, and together with Duguyu, climbed up to the west gate tower.

A few people climbed up and looked far away, the ferry not far from the west gate was already empty of a ship, and the current of the Heishui River, which was about tens of feet wide, was turbulent, and the water surface was turbid, and it was hard to see the depth.

Several people sighed in unison in their hearts, without the escort of the river boat, this is really an insurmountable moat.

For the officers and soldiers of Lingnan City defending the city, this is a natural danger and reliance.

Suddenly, Yu Zhongyao, the third son of Yu Jingde, pointed to the edge of the ferry on the other side of the Heishui River, and shouted: "Father, look quickly, they have already begun to deploy defenses on the river bank, if my child read correctly, Those neatly lined up in a row are the bed crossbows."

"Bed crossbow?"

Yu Jingde narrowed his eyes for a closer look, stomped his feet fiercely in anger, and cursed: "Zhao Youxin, an old man, is really hurting others and himself. The hundred bed crossbows under the Zhao family's box are all cheap. Official army."

"It's over!"

Yu Yuan, the eldest son of Yu, sighed in frustration: "I thought that if we broke the thunder formation of the government army, we would be able to drive straight into Qianzhou City and take back the batch of gold bricks. This is a good thing, the other party retreated quietly and moved to Lingnan City Not to mention that we don’t have a river boat available now, so we can’t cross this extremely dangerous Heishui River smoothly. Let’s talk about the hundreds of bed crossbows on the opposite bank. Was shot into a hedgehog by the opponent's hundred bed crossbows? It's over, it's really over now, and I missed the great opportunity before!"

"Bastard!"

Yu Jingde stared fiercely, and shouted at Yu Yuan: "Before we fight, we are defeated, get out of here, don't try to confuse people here!"

Yu Yuankou didn't stop himself from making fun of himself, and stepped aside resentfully.

But Duguyu smiled, shook her head at Yu Jingde very calmly, and said: "Don't be angry with the old Patriarch, if the young master is also concerned, it will cause chaos."

Duguyu actually changed his style and talked about love for Yu Yuan, which surprised the three brothers of the Yu family.

You know, before their father Yu Jingde came, Duguyu and their three brothers didn't deal with it very much.Who would have thought that he would speak good things for Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan glanced at Duguyu gratefully, but was ignored by Duguyu, wasting his expression in vain.

Duguyu continued to speak to Yu Jingde: "Old Patriarch Yu, this junior thinks that since the Heishui River must be crossed, Lingnan City must also be attacked, and the gold brick must also be taken back. What do you think?"

"Of course!"

Yu Jingde replied without thinking: "No matter how much you pay, you must take back the gold brick. Because the gold brick is the foundation of our two families."

Suddenly, Yu Jingde seemed to hear the hidden words in Duguyu's words, and said strangely: "Nephew, could it be that you already have a plan in mind?"

"Hehe, didn't the old Patriarch just say that? No matter how much you pay, you want to take back that gold brick?"

Duguyu smiled strangely, and said softly: "This is the strategy in the mind of this junior."

"Easy to say!"

Yu Zhong, the third son of the Yu family, asked back: "Young Master Dugu, we can build without a boat, but do you know how much it will cost to cross the Heishui River with a crossbow on the other side?"

Duguyu replied noncommittally: "The price is naturally very high. There is no doubt about it. I am afraid that the muddy water surface of the Heishui River will turn bright red by then. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. To put it bluntly, facing hundreds of bed crossbows ready to go and staring at the other side, forcing the crossing means filling up the Black Water River with the corpses of hundreds of thousands of Dharma guards."

As soon as these words came out, several people's hearts trembled at that time, and they were really shocked by the words of Duguyu, a white-faced young man.

He is really a man with a dark heart. To Duguyu, the death of hundreds of thousands of Dharma guards is as common as crushing a bunch of ants to death with his feet.

Yu Zhong asked again: "Young Master Dugu, you really don't feel pain in your back when you talk. Yes, the hundreds of thousands of Bailian Dharma Guardians are a group of untouchables. They come from lowly backgrounds, and their death is not a pity. But don't forget, if there are no such lowly Even if we are allowed to forcefully cross the Heishui River, who will attack the city and break the gates for us and get back the gold bricks after landing?"

"Haha, the third son didn't hear clearly what I meant."

Duguyu smiled and said: "I asked hundreds of thousands of Dharma guards to cross the Heishui River by force, that's right. But I didn't say that I asked the Dharma guards from your two families to force the crossing. As long as the forced crossing is successful, how many people will die on his side? What are we going to do with our two families? As for the task of attacking the city and retrieving the gold bricks after the successful landing, our two families will handle it. What do you think?"

"Young Master Dugu, what are you talking about..."

"idiot!"

Yu Zhong was scolded by his father Yu Jingde before he finished questioning: "You also step aside for me, you are brave and foolish, you are just making jokes!"

After the elder Da Yuan, Yu Zhong also retreated to the corner of the wall with unlucky misfortune, and drew circles in the corner with his brother with a gloomy face.

Yu Zheng, the second child who survived the disaster, was still secretly glad that he didn't interrupt indiscriminately, but who knew that the old ghost Yu Jingde was addicted to Xunzixun, waved his sleeves again, and shouted: "You also step aside, The family is unlucky, the Yu family actually gave birth to you three useless things."

Unfortunately, the second son of the Yu family also lay down on the gun, and retreated to the corner in despair, drawing circles and suffering together with the other two brothers.

Afterwards, Yu Jingde nodded thoughtfully at Duguyu and said, "Nephew, what do you mean to let Hu Bilie take his [-] horsemen to lead the charge as cannon fodder and forcefully cross the Blackwater River?"

Duguyu smiled harmlessly, nodded, and replied: "Yes, isn't he, Hu Bilie, self-confident? Why don't you let him fight this battle? If you take this opportunity, you can forcefully get through it again." The Heishui River can let more than [-] of his Dharma guards die under the Heishui River. Isn’t this a double-edged plan? The vulgar people share food at the same table? Don’t forget, we all use ivory chopsticks. Hey, we are porcelain and he is tiles. Naturally, why should he take the initiative to share this kind of work with him.”

Yu Jingde scolded Duguyu secretly in his heart, he is really the most heartless and shameless boy with a bad face.

But generally speaking, Duguyu's proposal is quite in line with his intentions, and he doesn't want a situation where Hu Bilie continues to grow up and share the food with the two of them in the future.

However, he also questioned: "Although Hu Bilie is an idiot, he has an expert behind him, nephew. How could he obey us obediently and be willing to be cannon fodder?"

"Old Patriarch, don't worry, I already have countermeasures for this."

Duguyu said confidently.

Yu Jingde was about to ask, but suddenly heard a burst of noisy footsteps ringing in his ears, and then several other people also noticed the footsteps.

Duguyu glanced at the few people who were running not far away, then lowered her voice and said, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there soon! This Hu Bilie is really impatient, old Patriarch, don't talk to the three young masters for a while , this junior will certainly persuade Hu Bilie to obey my orders and lead the crowd to cross the Heishui River. No matter what, Hu Bilie will be the cannon fodder!"

"it is good!"

Yu Jingde also suppressed his voice, and hastily replied: "This time, I will listen to you!"

Then, he gave his three good-for-nothing sons who had retreated to the corner to make circles, and gave them a wink, signaling them not to mess in and ruin the event.

"Hahaha... so you are here, but it will be easy for someone Hu to find you!"

Hu Bilie's voice came one after another, and in an instant, he had already walked in front of everyone.

Chapter 1086 Dugu Yu stunned Hu Bilie

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!

Upstairs in Ximen City, Hu Bilie, who couldn't stand the nagging, came.

After saying hello, Hu Bilie found that apart from Duguyu's somewhat human face, the members of the Yu family, father and son, didn't seem to like him very much.

Especially Yu Jingde, an old man, his eyes are not his eyes, his nose is not his nose, he looks so bored with himself to the extreme.

Hu Bilie can figure it out without using his head or his butt. It is probably because the imperial government and army transferred the gold bricks, leaving an empty city.

Damn it, what happened to the empty city?The empty city is also a city, and I, Hu Bilie, took the lead in taking it down, wasn't it?

Hmph, I couldn't recite it because the officers and soldiers were afraid of me, Mr. Hu, so they retreated in embarrassment at night.
