Lu Weigui knew that the princess was willing to ask herself, that was to respect herself, and if she made up her mind and instructed herself, he would do as he was based on his status. After all, this princess is not an ordinary person. She is the wife of Prince Zhongshun, and Ji Zeyu, who is currently sieging the city with a handsome army, is the righteous brother of Prince Zhongshun.
"Princess is really exalting Xiaguan." Lu Weigui sighed, "Xiaguan has no idea at this time. According to Xiaguan, it is a good thing to break out while the chaos outside, but it's just that there are many defenses outside the Yamen, but it is not so easy to break through. If there is any casualty, I would be sorry brothers."
Qin Yining secretly told Lu Weigui what she was thinking about now. The difficulties are all in front of her eyes, and they are all obvious.
But Qin Yining immediately understood Lu Weigui's thoughts and shook his head with a smile. It is inevitable for these old officials to act so cautiously, Qin Yining did not anticipate embarrassing others, and said: "There are many people outside, and now Lu Heng does not want to use thunder, so we will be fine for the time being. Commander Dingguo I don’t know what the outcome of the army siege will be, if Lu Heng gets angry and kills us to vent his anger, or wants to take us as hostages, can we be the opponents of so many people outside with our manpower?”
Lu Weigui shook his head and sighed: "That's the truth. If you don't say anything else, if the other party uses fire, we will all suffocate here. Princess, do you mean to give it a shot?"
Qin Yining said, "There is no other way right now."
All looked solemn, fearful of the present danger and the unknown future.
But they also understand that if they don't fight, they are afraid they will die here.
Qin Yining observed everyone and saw that everyone calmed down and thought about the way forward, so he slowly said: "We don't need to let our brothers fight for their lives, I don't want to sacrifice anyone. Let's listen carefully to the movement outside, if the war is anxious , we may find an opportunity to rush out."
Lu Weigui agreed: "What the princess said is that when the battle outside the city is the most tense, Lu Hengxu will dispatch reinforcements, and the defense here will naturally relax."
The officers nodded when they heard the words, as if they had seen hope.
Qin Yining hesitated, fearing that everyone would underestimate the enemy's injury or death due to wrong judgments, so he could only say: "It may not be the case, if we people escape, Lu Heng will be attacked by the enemy on both sides, which is equivalent to a fire in the backyard. That person, When you are willing to go out, you will definitely ensure that there are no other hidden dangers.”
Having said that, Lu Weigui also felt that he was too naive to think about the problem.
"But in this way, if we want to escape, wouldn't it be difficult for us to go to the sky." Some officers were deeply affected and said involuntarily.
Qin Yining said: "Everyone don't need to be nervous. It doesn't matter whether you can rush out or not. If it doesn't work, we can still stay here. We won't let everyone die in vain."
Everyone nodded, but it was unknown how many people believed what Qin Yining said. In everyone's mind, people of noble birth like the princess would not take the lives of their subordinates in their eyes. When necessary, they would go to die.
Qin Yining also knew that these empty words were not enough to win the trust of others, and she did not force everyone to believe in herself, so she did not explain more.
Everyone dispersed, returning to their respective places to prevent Lu Heng from attacking at any time.
Qin Yining and his party went back to Lu Weigui to temporarily renovate the wing room arranged in the outer courtyard.
On this day, noises are often heard in the city. In the originally small county, it was hard for them not to hear the cries of war. In addition, the people believed Lu Heng's words. They were afraid that the people from the imperial court would come to slaughter the city. At that time, some civilians were inadvertently injured by hurling arrows. How can those people in the city who have received news of their children's death be calm
The entire Huichuan County was shrouded in panic of war.
However, the rebels arranged by Lu Heng outside the yamen still defended the place stubbornly.
Jing Zhe carefully wanted to go out to investigate several times, but even with his extraordinary skills, he could not escape the eyes of everyone under the strict defense of two steps, one post, ten steps and one post.
"Right now, there's no other way to do it other than to push hard?" Lu Weigui said in disbelief when he heard the result.
There was a gloomy cloud in the courtyard.
Even though the guards were taking turns to rest, the highly tense spirit still made everyone tired. They wanted to live, but now they are trapped here like lambs to be slaughtered. Sooner or later, when there is not enough food to eat, Lu Heng also loses patience sooner or later and orders someone to attack. Under such circumstances, waiting is a kind of torment, and they are exhausted. The opponent can attack now. If you can't fight to the death, you won't be waiting for a knife to fall from the top of your head like this.
Qin Yining would also walk around in the yamen, seeing everyone in a state of irritability and fear, the atmosphere was depressed and no fighting spirit, and could not help but become worried.
"Princess." Lu Weigui asked Qin Yining to go to an unoccupied corner, and whispered to discuss: "Princess, why don't you organize someone to attack and try? What if you can escape? If this continues, we may not wait for our success. If you break out of the siege, someone will surrender first."
Qin Yining was also worried about this.
If someone surrenders without warning and opens the gate of the yamen...
This situation is simply unthinkable.
"But if you want to rush out now, the odds of winning are really low. I'm afraid some brothers will sacrifice for this." Qin Yining was helpless, "If you can't escape after sacrificing your brothers, things will be even more difficult in the future."
Lu Weigui scratched his hair in worry, "It's really a dilemma!"
Qin Yining sighed, "It's not exactly a dilemma."
She came to destroy the imperial mausoleum, although she did not do it herself, but she had achieved her goal, giving Pang Xiao a sigh of relief. I just didn't expect that Li Qitian really did it according to the worst case that she had guessed before.
For the sake of the imperial mausoleum, someone who can disregard the life and death of the people under the current famine, and can raise an army to lead a war, is such a person worthy of being a king
They can't rush at this time, they can only wait for the opportunity.
But before they could wait for the time to rush out, they heard the worried voices of many people separated by a wall.
"How could this be! Originally, we were well guarded, and Duke Ding couldn't do anything to our Huichuan county for a while, but the Tartars suddenly appeared!"
"Didn't the Tartars be beaten by Duke Ding and bowed their heads to serve as ministers, and they came suddenly at this moment, there must have been a premeditated plan."
"Dong Guogong can't care about attacking the city, and it's a good thing to deal with the Tartars wholeheartedly."
"What's so good! Can't you have tofu in your head? If the Tartars defeat Duke Dingguo, the next one to face the Tartars will be Huichuan County. Tell me, how much ability do we have to fight against the Tartars?"
As soon as these words came out, the discussion outside the wall stopped abruptly, and the atmosphere suddenly froze.
When Qin Yining and the others heard this, they couldn't help but get nervous.
Back in the wing, Qin Yining paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
How could the situation become so complicated
This is Huichuan County, not far from the capital. In the previous dynasty, although the emperor guarded the gate of the country and only said that the capital was located in the northern capital, over the years, there has never been a case where the Tartars drove straight in!
If the Tartars appeared here, would the cities north of Huichuan County fall into the hands of the Tartars
If the Tartars break through this place, then the Tartars will be able to reach the capital in less than a day, and the troops will be under the city!
At that time, even if Li Qitian holds the tiger talisman, he will not be able to shrink into an inch, so let the Hu Ben army, the Longxiang army and the peaceful southern army rush over in the blink of an eye
Qin Yining doesn't care about Li Qitian's throne at all, what she loves is the common people!
It's really called the Tartar hoofs to step on, where are the people still alive? Years of wars, natural and man-made disasters are nothing more than natural and man-made disasters, and the famine has not yet been resolved. If there are more Tartars attacking, burning, killing and looting, it is too much for the people who have experienced many twists and turns to bow their heads and recognize foreigners as masters.
Under Qin Yining's anxiety, the corners of his mouth froze.
Not only Qin Yining was anxious, but the minds of people inside and outside the yamen courtyard were floating at this time. Even if they are in different camps, but they are all big Zhou Erlang, how can they want to see the mountains and rivers broken
But they all have different identities and missions, and at this time they can only stand in place and work in a hurry.
"My lord. Let's just rush out! If we are desperate, the brothers will recognize it! Just waiting here to die, either by the rebels or by the Tartars, this is too torturous!"
"Yes, my lord, as soon as you give an order, the big guy immediately fights out without any hesitation!"
Lu Weigui was equally anxious. In October, his nose and temples were covered in hot sweat, and his collar and clothes were soaked with sweat.
With so many people waiting for his orders to act, he really couldn't bear such a lot of pressure.
"Let's make a decision after discussing it with Princess Zhongshun." Lu Weigui wiped his face and said, "Prince Zhongshun has a noble status after all, and I think she has a unique opinion. ."
"Okay." Many people agreed.
The master and the local county magistrate looked at each other, and they both followed behind Lu Weigui to the wing where Qin Yining lived.
After listening to Lu Weigui's intention, and looking at the anxious-looking officers that Lu Weigui brought, Qin Yining knew that people's hearts could not be calmed down at once.
She is also having a headache about this, and being trapped here, even if she has thousands of ways, she can't use it.
Liao Zhibing, Jing Zhe and others led people to guard Qin Yining's side, and looked at the people in front of them without a trace.
No matter how tense the situation is, their priority is to keep the princess safe.
And just when the scene was tense, the county magistrate suddenly said, "If the Tartars attack, and we want to survive, there is only one way."
Qin Yining and Lu Weigui suddenly looked at this person at the same time.
Lu Weigui said solemnly, "What do you mean?"
The county magistrate said, "If Duke Ding is defeated, do we have other options besides surrendering?"
