Chapter 722 The arrival of the army
The weather is excellent today.
The sun hangs high in the blue sky, white clouds drift in the wind, and are randomly kneaded into various shapes by the unruly cold wind. The light falls on the white snow, and is extremely dazzling. When it falls on people, it is Rarely, I felt a hint of warmth.
When the weather is good, the view is naturally good.
Wherever you can see, the Cui family's old house is clearly visible.
On a vast white field, it lies there like a blue-gray giant beast, with a city wall several feet high, a horse face protruding from the wall, an arrow tower towering at the corner, flags fluttering in the wind, and There is a looming patrol team.
The Cui family's old house covers an area of over one million acres, with mountains and rivers inside. It is known as an old house, but in fact it is the largest city in Boling County. There are more than 100,000 people living in the city. There are mountains, water and fields in the city, and there are countless skilled craftsmen and farmers. If we really want to fight, such a place can be completely self-sufficient.
Once the door is closed, a world becomes its own.
Of course, the premise is that outsiders cannot break the city.
Over the years, the Cui family's old residence has actually been in the process of continuous reinforcement.
The trees outside the city had long been cut down so as not to block the view.
The originally flat fields have been dug into many ponds in the east and west. In many places, a low shrub called thorn is planted in rows. The branches of this shrub have long branches. It is full of hard thorns, and even the edges of the leaves are serrated, extremely sharp.
Seeing this, Li Guohua suddenly felt a pain in his heart.
These facilities were all started by Linghu Zhishu when he was the county governor in Boling.
The purpose is to build a natural defense line against the cavalry outside the pass.
The Cui family's old residence was completely in accordance with Linghu Zhishu's plan.
But now, Zhishu Linghu has returned to the underworld.
The Cui family's old house has been in operation for thousands of years. Not to mention that the city's defense is impregnable, it is at least much stronger than Boling County City.
"General, if we are to resist the Beiting Protectorate next, we should focus on this place!" Yang Rong looked at the behemoth lying on the field and said with emotion: "As long as we have enough troops, we can defeat Beiting." The Tingduhu Mansion is trying its best to attack, but it will be in vain!”
"That's exactly what I meant!" Li Guohua nodded: "And this place is still stuck at the center of the entire Boling County. It is connected in all directions and is a real strategic location. In the past, when Cui Ming was here, we couldn't take advantage of the dove. Nest, it’s different now. We both need each other, what else can we do besides helping each other!”
Yang Rong laughed. Since Li Guohua said this, he had already made up his mind and could not tolerate objections from Cui Shu and the others.
No wonder Li Guohua brought the most elite troops this time to express his condolences to Cui Ming.
"Let's go, it's freezing cold, don't let Cui Shu and the others wait outside for too long!" Li Guohua galloped forward, whipping up his horse and whip.
Cui Tu wrapped his cloak tightly and stood on top of the city. Looking at the cavalry group rolling in from the distance, he couldn't help but change his face slightly. As a former secret ally, he certainly knew the origin and power of this army.
Li Guohua is indeed an evil person, and a kind person never comes!
Is this for condolences?
This is to force you into the palace! Looking left and right at the heavily guarded soldiers on the city, and then at the closed city gate below, Cui Tu took a deep breath, tossed his cloak, and strode towards the bottom of the city.
The low door opened, and Cui Tu led a group of people and filed out of the door.
The sound of horse hooves approaches.
Li Guohua looked at the closed city gate and the small door behind Cui Tu that only allowed two or three people to enter side by side. The smile on his face slowly faded, and the corners of his mouth were pursed tightly and drooped downwards, and his anger naturally showed out.
Cui Tu took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to hold the reins of Li Guohua's horse, and said: "The Cui family's internal affairs have caused the general to come here in the wind and snow. The Cui family is indescribably grateful. The master of the family knows well, so he should also express his condolences to the general." With his heart in mind, Cui Tu came to greet the general on the orders of the new head of the family.”
Li Guohua did not dismount and looked coldly at the heavily guarded army on the city wall. Although the swords, guns, swords and halberds were all wrapped in white cloth, the soldiers' hostility could not be concealed.
"A certain family member came and didn't even open the city gate?" he asked coldly.
Cui Tu looked a little panicked, wiped the cold juice on his forehead, and whispered: "Of course it should be opened, but now there is unrest in the Cui family's old house. As you know, the armored man is finished. The old head of the family has also passed away. Just to be on the safe side, second brother, oh no no, it’s the new head of the family. Order, the main gate of the main house has been completely sealed. You can see it after entering. Not to mention the gate, even the city gate hole has been filled in. If we had known that the general would come in person, we wouldn’t have to do this. But right now , we can only ask the general to go in from here!”
"They also enter from here?" Li Guohua pointed at the thousands of troops behind him.
Cui Tu wiped the cold sweat from his face again and said: "General, please forgive me. The Cui family's old house is like a frightened bird at this time. The Military Commission really cannot enter the city at this time."
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
Li Guohua sneered: "Are you telling these men to lie outside in the ice and snow?"
"Of course you don't dare to do this!" Cui Tu bowed and said: "General, please rest assured. Before dark, the army will camp outside to provide all the necessary supplies. The Cui family will definitely be well prepared, and they will not dare to neglect in the slightest. , everything will be borne by my Cui family!”
"The Cui family is really wealthy!" Yang Rong said with a smile.
"Mr. Yang, the general, is really helpless. In this battle, too many people from the Cui family died. In the old house of the Cui family, almost everyone pays homage and funerals are held in every household. The resentment and hostility are too strong. The string on everyone's body is tightened, and problems may occur if you are not careful. If the army from outside suddenly comes in at this time, the second brother is really afraid that something will happen. At this time, everything must be stable. Heavy!" Cui Tu explained.
Yang Rong nodded slightly, which made sense.
In the army, camp roar is a very feared thing. Right now Cui Tu is worried about city roar. This is the fundamental place of the Cui family, so it would be good for them to be more wary and careful.
He looked back at Li Guohua. Although he came with a large army today, the main purpose of the army was to exert pressure. The focus was still on the negotiations between the main figures. As long as Cui Shu understood the situation, then force was not important.
Besides, looking at the posture on the city, it’s obvious that they are on guard!
Cui Shu didn't even show up outside the city, he was just on guard to capture the thieves on his side and capture the king first.
"General, please be considerate. The master of the house has prepared a banquet. The master said that he must apologize to the general when he comes back!"
Li Guohua stared at the other party for a moment, smiled and said: "That's not necessary, just go through the small door! Go to express condolences to Mr. Cui first, there are some things, let's talk about it later!"
