All Are Passersby (2)
Liu Chenglang was expressionless when he heard the news. He pondered for a while before he smiled.
He looked at Lu Jiangqiao and thanked him for his hard work. Then, he did something strange.
He took a deep breath, then began to make arrangements for the city gate. After he finished, he let out a sigh of relief and smiled.
Although there was a smile on his face, Lu Jiangqiao could tell from Liu Chenglang's tight jaw and wrinkled eyes that he was not relaxed.
"What's wrong? Is the three days very difficult?" He and Liu Chenglang worked together. He never interfered or asked about Liu Chenglang's matters. Only when Liu Chenglang needed to adjust and analyze internal and external information, he would discuss with him.
As for how to march and set up defenses, he did not know and did not want to know.
Liu Chenglang heard his words and smiled bitterly. "There are only twenty thousand soldiers guarding the city now. The enemy is almost a hundred thousand soldiers. If we attack from three directions and surround them, I am afraid we will not be able to withstand more than a few waves of attacks. "
Lu Jiangqiao was expressionless. He and Liu Chenglang were not sincere about working for Family Han.
Liu Chenglang's worry was purely because he was going to lose, not because the Han Family was going to lose. As for himself, he didn't care at all. After all, he only had one thought in his mind, and that was to end the bloodline of the Han Family with his own hands.
He was a scholar. That was the only way he could get close to Family Han.
"What about your arrangements just now?"
He was also beside Liu Chenglang when he was making arrangements. He was slightly surprised by Liu Chenglang's arrangements.
"We don't know when the enemy will attack, so we can only use this method to delay as much as possible."
Lu Jiangqiao was also worried for Liu Chenglang.
Although he did not know much about military affairs, Liu Chenglang was taking a big risk.
"But you ordered all the city gates to be opened tomorrow, and even allowed the merchants and citizens to leave the city. Isn't that a suicide mission?"
Liu Chenglang smiled bitterly again. "I can only bet that they will be as cautious as Guo Fen in the face of victory, and not charge blindly."
"You mean they don't dare to attack the city?" Lu Jiangqiao was surprised.
"If I open the city gate, would Guo Fen and Jiang Ming dare to enter? What I'm afraid of now is Xu Chang 'an. He doesn't know anything about military affairs and acts recklessly. The first time he saved Li Xiaocun, I'm afraid he'll be the same this time. If that's the case, I'll really be sending myself to the city. "
Lu Jiangqiao sighed. Looking at the worried Liu Chenglang, he suddenly had a feeling of wanting to win just once.
He wasn't doing this for Family Han, but for this white-robed minister who had been trying to prove herself.
"I think it's feasible, but we don't have to worry about Xu Chang 'an."
Liu Chenglang was a little surprised. He immediately sat down on his seat, cupped his hands, and asked, "What do you think, Brother Lu?"
Lu Jiangqiao smiled and said, "Isn't that Han Shitao in Xu Chang 'an's army?"
Liu Chenglang was stunned. He patted his head and said, "Are you saying that we should let the Family Han go and hold back Xu Chang 'an's troops? Like Zhuijiang? "
Lu Jiangqiao nodded slightly. Although Xu Chang 'an's mentality had changed a little and was no longer the same as before, it shouldn't be a problem if the Family Han's troops were to hold them back for two days.
He thought for a moment, then immediately went to the Family Han's residence. After all, opening the city gate and involving Xu Chang 'an was a serious matter. He needed the cooperation of the Family Han's people.
He went to the Family Han's mansion. The Old Ancestor of Family Han's face was as gloomy as water. He listened to Liu Chenglang's analysis of the strengths of both sides. He finally realized how ridiculous his previous idea was. He even thought that he could raise his troops by himself.
The Old Ancestor of Family Han thought for a moment, and could only trust Liu Chenglang.
After all, if Zhuijiang and Qiwu hadn't been lost, Liu Chenglang wouldn't have been in such a passive situation.
He could only ask again, "Are you sure that the reinforcements will arrive in three days?"
Liu Chenglang had no other choice. He could only trust that mysterious group of people and believe that they could make the Black Snake Tribe arrive as promised.
The Old Ancestor of Family Han sighed deeply, his back slightly hunched. He then said, "You can act on your own. I will instruct Shihai and Zhi 'er to cooperate with you. However, I still need to send the Shadow Squad out to gather information. After all, opening the city gates is a little unsettling. I hope you can understand. "
The Old Ancestor of Family Han's attitude was very good. Liu Chenglang's face showed that he was in a difficult position.
If the Shadow Squad was discovered, then Jiang Ming would know that he was afraid and this empty city strategy would be wasted.
However, at this time, he didn't know how to reject the Old Ancestor of Family Han's attitude.
He could only sigh and say, "Alright!"
The Old Ancestor of Family Han also shook his head and said with a hunched back, "Now I can only go to the Qin family and see if I can find any help. Everything will depend on you, Mister."
Liu Chenglang looked at the back of the Old Ancestor of Family Han and sighed slightly. He then let Wang Huihai push him back to the mansion.
The Old Ancestor of Family Han walked past his son's room. He stood there blankly for a long time. Now, all his hopes were placed on Han Shihai. If Han Shihai could break through to the Ling Dao realm and become a Martial Grandmaster, then there was still a chance to salvage the situation.
The old man took a deep look at his son's room, then walked to the door of his grandson's room.
The beginning of summer had just arrived and the evening wind was just right. He stood there blankly at the door.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind. Even if he had to put down his pride, he had to leave behind a trace of Family Han's bloodline.
…
In the morning, the first ray of sunlight shone on the city gates.
After a night of dew, the three words "Yuezhou City" were resplendent under the sunlight.
The city gates of Yuezhou City were open for some reason, causing waves of surprise among the people. They knew that Yuezhou had been closed off for a long time. They only opened the gates to some areas further south and prohibited people from moving towards the north of Yuezhou in the direction of Chang'an.
But now, the gates were open.
Many people and merchants poked their heads out, but when they saw the fluttering flags in the distance, they immediately shrank back into the city.
Apart from the south gate, one could see the fluttering flags from the other three gates.
The flags had the words "Jiang", "Guo", or "Xu" written on them. When the people saw it, they knew that the soldiers were already at the city gates.
Now that the city gates were open, it was possible that the city had surrendered and the soldiers would come in later.
When they thought of the appearance of the Yuezhou army, they immediately broke out in a cold sweat. They did not dare to stay at the city gates and ran back home.
Although the soldiers of Yue Province were not strong in battle, they were good at bullying men and women. They were good at bullying Ruo Xiao.
At the city gates, there were only a few old men who were leisurely sweeping the streets. The soldiers at the gates were also as usual.
When the city gates were opened, Guo Fen saw it.
He climbed to a high place and looked at the city from afar, but he could not see anything.
This was an opportunity, but it was more likely to be a trap.
Now that they had victory in their hands, they only needed to wait patiently. He thought for a moment, then immediately ordered his subordinates to not make a move, and went to Jiang Ming's camp alone.
Under his persuasion, Jiang Ming even gave up on the idea of probing.
He looked at this cautious young general and felt a trace of pity in his heart. In any case, it was just a matter of what the other side did. They only needed to attack the city together in two days to achieve victory.
Jiang Ming thought for a moment, then sent someone to report to Xu Chang 'an, and also asked him to not make a move.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the distant mountains a little red.
For the entire day, nothing strange happened. When the sun completely set, the city gates slowly closed.
Liu Chenglang sighed in relief, and so did the old ancestor of Family Han.
"Since it's night, I'll send the Shadow Guards out to investigate."
The old ancestor of Family Han did not wait for Liu Chenglang's reply. With a wave of his sleeve, a red light flashed out and disappeared without a trace.
Not long after, four or five shadows appeared in each of the three camps.
These shadows slowly approached the camp. A few soldiers on night patrol suddenly had the urge to pee, and walked to an open space more than a hundred meters away from the camp to relieve themselves.
As soon as they undid their pants, they saw a few beautiful women in black clothes not far away. In the camp, they had not seen a woman for many years. How could they stand it?
The few of them seemed to be possessed. With a wretched smile, they walked towards the beautiful women.
But before they could reach them, their vision turned black, and they fainted.
The women immediately took off the soldiers' uniforms. Soon, night patrol became normal.
To the left of Jiang Ming's camp was a forest, and beside the forest, a small river flowed.
Every night, Jiang Ming would come here to practice his spear.
His two hobbies in his free time were: practicing his spear and drinking.
When he was on the march or in battle, he never drank. He knew that drinking would cause problems and affect his judgment.
So, every time the soldiers fell asleep, he would often come out alone to practice his spear after he had formulated a battle plan.
Dressed in white, the spear was like a swimming dragon. The long spear stabbed diagonally, emitting a little cold light.
His figure was vigorous, and the bright moon was like a hook.
"How many scholars know? Who in the world deserves to be dressed in white?"
The long spear jumped high and left his hand. Under the moonlight, a silver-white long spear soared into the sky like a dragon.
Very soon, the silver light descended from the sky and stabbed into the ground in front of Jiang Ming. The end of the spear vibrated non-stop, and the pitiful old tree that had just sprouted green leaves kept shaking, causing the leaves to rustle down.
"The fourth spear, Peerless!"
Jiang Ming shouted in a low voice. Then, with a wave of his hand, the long spear flew into his hand.
The momentum of the spear changed, and Jiang Ming leaped high. The long spear moved with him. The silver-white long spear and the white clothes seemed to merge into one. Waves of cold light burst, and the clothes fluttered. This move finally ended with Jiang Ming holding the spear with one hand.
"Heaven and Earth rustle, the sky flows down, the moon is like a hook, difficult to find! The third spear, Wind Current! "
Jiang Ming wanted to change the spear form and continue practicing, but there was a stagnant feeling.
He could only stop and point the long spear diagonally.
He muttered to himself, "Appearance reminds me of the past, short memories of the past are endless. The second spear, Lovesickness. "
"He was born to be lovesick, lovesickness without a place in the world. The first spear, Broken Intestines! "
He remembered that his master in green taught him the six spear forms in the snow. His master, known as the Spear King, gave him the cultivation method and the matching spear form. He only told him that the spear form had to be practiced in reverse.
He practiced according to the cultivation method, and his Fa Li increased rapidly.
His master told him that Fa Li was the origin, and all sword forms and spear forms were skills.
The origin could be increased through external objects, but the skills could only be comprehended by oneself.
The origin and the skills complemented each other. Only when the two were combined, could the power be displayed.
At that time, he was still young. He didn't know why his master, who always liked to be alone, left on a snowy day to go to the legendary land of certain death. He also didn't know why his master had a relieved expression on his face. He also didn't know why his master said to him that he would rather he couldn't master the first and second spear in his life.
He sighed slightly. He really couldn't master the first two spear forms.
His ears moved slightly, and he swept the long spear. A black shadow was swept out from the shadow of the tree and fell straight into the small stream.
That person flew backwards, and the veil on her face was swept away by the long spear. Jiang Ming saw that face and was shocked. He immediately tried to grab her.
But in a moment of desperation, he couldn't care so much. He only wanted to not let that person fall into the small stream. His hand touched something soft.
"Slap!" His face was slapped again.
Suddenly, both of them fell into the water at the same time.
The girl poked her head out of the water. Under the moonlight, the waves were clear and crystalline. Under the bright moonlight, the water plants were like dancers moving their bodies.
Jiang Ming also poked his head out and looked at the girl. She had a round face and a pair of big eyes. There seemed to be a round moon hidden in them. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but under the moonlight, her skin seemed to be soft and delicate. Her nose was small and delicate.
At this time, Jiang Ming felt that the girl in front of him was like a fairy descending to the mortal world, a beauty coming out of the bath.
But he didn't see Han Yaner's angry eyes and eyebrows.
Han Yaner slapped him again and said angrily, "Lecher!"
