Chapter 535 The demeanor of the housewife (additional)

Minghou Mansion, above the lobby.

"I'm not leaving!" Cai Yan's cold voice echoed in the lobby.

"Zhao Ji, they are thinking of you too!"

Cai Yong stared at his daughter, and said in a low voice: "Whether Nanxiang City can be defended now is really uncertain. You are now Mrs. Minghou, but the head of the house. If Minghou is not here, you are the backbone. Don't act impulsively!"

Although he knew very well what changes would be brought to Nanxiang when his daughter left at this time, he still hoped that his daughter would leave.

In particular, Mujing has laid a piece of sky in Hanzhong.

No worries.

But he didn't expect Cai Yan to be so persistent, several people tried to persuade her, but she couldn't shake her mind at all, she just wanted to stay, stay in this dangerous city.

"I said, I won't go!"

Cai Yan raised her head, and her cold eyes swept away. Compared with the past, she now has a bit more air of a superior person. trick.

Her eyes were as sharp as electricity, she looked at everyone in the hall, and said calmly: "I am Mrs. Minghou, the mistress of the Mu family. Today, Minghou is fighting. I am not in Nanxiang. I am the backbone of the people in Nanxiang. After leaving, the hearts of the people in Nanxiang City will be scattered, you will not understand such a simple truth!"

She paused, her voice became sharper, as if she was asking: "Or do you all think that now that Marquis Ming has captured Hanzhong, we should abandon Nanyang and the people in Nanxiang who have always supported us?"

"I dare not wait!"

Everyone was startled when they heard the words, and they bowed their heads and knelt down to salute. Even Hu Zhao, Liu Jin and others were suppressed by Cai Yan's bearing at this moment.

To be the mistress of the house should have such an aura.

"Ma'am, we are only worried about your safety. The enemy army will increase their troops and will storm the city. The city will be destroyed soon. We have no confidence to defend Nanxiang City. At this moment, we can only keep it safe by letting Madam leave!"

Hu Zhao bowed his head and said pleadingly.

"Hu Changshi, you know very well that Nanxiang City, which is in danger, can't stand the slightest wavering heart. We can still hold on because the people in the city still have confidence in us. For several days in a row, we I heard that the people have taken the initiative to help, this is the support of the people, but if I leave, I will tell the whole city that this Nanxiang cannot be defended!"

Cai Yan stood up, her slender and delicate body was slim, and her agile eyes swept away. Her fortitude at this moment was not that of a woman, but the courage of a mistress: "When my husband handed over Nanxiang City to me, I Don't let your husband down, you don't need to say too much, in the name of Mrs. Minghou, I tell you all, I will live and die with Nanxiang!"

She didn't leave, not because she was stubborn, and she didn't want to die here, and she wanted to reunite with her husband, but Nanxiang was the most important thing for her, and she was even more important.

She gained Mujing's trust and reviewed many memorials for Mujing. Many memorials were reviewed by Hu Zhao, Liu Jin and others, and those that needed Mujing's review were sent to the study according to Mujing's previous arrangement. It was she who personally imitated Mujing's handwriting and then reviewed it.

From these memorials, she can clearly see Mujing's strategic deployment, and Nanxiang City is very important to Mujing's future.

The strategic deployment of the entire Mu army is to take Hanzhong first. This is the first step. As for the second step, Bashu can be taken, and Jingzhou can also be taken in the chaos. Jingzhou is a place that cannot be abandoned for the Mu army. After winning Hanzhong and Bashu, they must also fight out. At that time, Nanxiang will act as a strategic bond.

Therefore, Nanxiang must not be lost.

"Madam is wise!"

Everyone looked at each other, speechless. At this moment, they were all impressed by Cai Yan's courage and bearing.

"Hu Changshi, you also said that the enemy army is increasing its troops. Now there are no more soldiers in the city. It's hard to say whether it can be defended. As a woman, I don't know much about marching and fighting, and I can't talk about it." But I am familiar with classics and military books, and I understand one thing, that is, morale is very important on the battlefield!"

Cai Yan held the palace skirt, walked up, and took out a token: "Everyone knows, what is this?"

"Jing Ping Order?"

Everyone's eyes trembled slightly.

Among the Mujun, there are two things that are comparable to tiger charms. One is the seal of the Marquis of Ming Dynasty, and the other is Jing Ping Ling. It is rumored that Jing Ping Ling was made by Xu's workshop in Nanyang. It is made of strange metals, neither gold nor iron. On the token, one side is engraved with the word Jingping in ancient writing, and the other side is the Jingping badge, a pattern of black mandala flowers.

This thing is the same as Minghou's seal, it is a thing that represents Mu Jing's identity, and it can command the Mu army, not just the Jingping army, but all soldiers and horses.

"From now on, Nanxiang will be my commander!"

Cai Yan raised Jingping Order and ordered the heroes, and said in a low voice: "Everyone, please pass on my order. From now on, my wife will personally sit at the head of the city to meet the enemy army and the battlefield. If the city of Nanxiang is destroyed, I will be buried. This city."

"Ma'am, absolutely not!"

When Hu Zhao heard this, he knelt down and started drinking.

"Zhaoji, don't mess around!" Cai Yong couldn't sit still, he started to drink angrily.

"I have made up my mind on this matter, you don't need to persuade me!"

Cai Yan looked resolute, and said: "I want to defend Nanxiang for my husband, if I can't defend this city, I will die in this city!"

Her temperament is inherently stubborn, and she is even more stubborn in what she is doing now. In her opinion, it is a pity that she cannot go to the battlefield with her husband. Now she is defending the city for her husband. If the city is broken, she will have no face to face her husband.

"How to do?"

Hu Zhao and Liu Jin looked at each other, they were a little panicked, and it was fatal to let Cai Yan go to the top of the city.

If it is only the name of Mrs. Minghou, it can be stopped.

But none of them expected that Mu Jing actually handed over Jing Ping Ling to Cai Yan. Jing Ping Ling represents Mu Jing, and Mu Jing is the lord, who is irreversible.

"Since that's the case, we have no choice but to sink the boat!" After all, Hu Zhao was more courageous than Liu Jin. He bowed his hands and said to Cai Yan: "Madam has such determination, and I respect you very much. You should swear to the death to defend Nanxiang, defend Madame is safe!"

"We shall swear to the death to defend Nanxiang and Madam's safety!"

"We shall swear to the death to defend Nanxiang and Madam's safety!"

At this moment, the people of the Minghou Mansion have no anxiety, no thought of advancing or retreating, the only heart is to live and die together, and they will defend Nanxiang City to the death.

……

After everyone left Minghou's mansion, they began to make preparations, to make preparations for breaking the boat.

"Kong Ming, how can you respond!"

After walking out of the mansion, Liu Jin couldn't hold his breath any longer. He said gloomyly: "No matter what, madam must not be allowed to go to the city!"

"Up to now, we can't change Madam's determination!"

Hu Zhao shook his head: "We have all underestimated Madam. Madam is a master of Confucianism, she has outstanding talents and knowledge, and has learned from ancient to modern times. She should have a certain courage. Don't think about it like ordinary women. If you want to attack her, then she has Jing Pingling in her hand. , if we oppose it, it is tantamount to disobeying the lord!"

"Then watch madam take risks like this, how will we face the lord in the future!"

"Although this matter is dangerous, it is not a hope!"

Hu Zhao said in a low voice: "Maybe it depends on Madam whether we can defend Nanxiang City!"

"What do you mean?"

"Tell this matter to the whole city as quickly as possible!" Hu Zhao said with his hands behind his back, "If we want to break the boat, we must gather the strength of the whole city and work together to achieve hope!"

"I understand!"

Liu Jin made it clear: "You have to use your madam's feat to encourage the whole city to defend the city!"

"That's right!"

Hu Zhaodao: "In fact, Madam is right in saying that Nanxiang must not be lost, even if it is the last person in a bloody battle, you must not lose Nanxiang. Losing Nanxiang is equivalent to losing Nanyang. Nanyang is the foundation of it. It is the foundation of countless soldiers. In our shepherd army, there are too many Nanyang soldiers, if we lose Nanyang, we will lose the morale of the army!"

…………

……

Outside the city, Nanyang Barracks.

Lei Bo was dressed in military uniform, standing on a high platform, staring at the front, that city seemed to be crumbling, but under his fierce onslaught, he forcibly blocked them out.

He is not reconciled.

With a large army in hand, but still unable to conquer this city, his heart became more and more anxious.

But the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't break through the city. For more than a month, he had used various methods, including night battles, sneak attacks, going around and attacking from the side, but everything was blocked by the generals in the city. Township is like a tortoise shell, which cannot be broken.

"Lieutenant Lei, it seems that I blamed you wrongly before, this is really a hard bone!"

A young man stood beside him, looking at Lei Bo's gaze with some gloomy eyes, fixedly staring at the distant city wall, and said bitterly.

His name is Ji Yu, Ji Mengxiao.

The cousin of Ji Ling, the number one confidant under Yuan Shu's command, is also the younger brother of Sima Jiyi, who was in Nanyang's captaincy at the time. After going to Mushan, Mushan was ordered to go north to attack He Jin, but it was a last-ditch fight. Before leaving, he directly wiped out Ji Yi in order to solve the trouble in Nanyang.

This is the hatred of killing his brother, Ji Yu has been thinking about it for several years.

He served as a school lieutenant under Ji Ling, and was asked by Lei Bo for help. He asked Ji Ling to go south, and Ji Ling agreed, and gave him [-] troops. He personally led [-] troops as reinforcements, and went straight to Nanxiang. It was only three days ago that they arrived at the barracks.

At first he looked down on Lei Bo, thinking it was a disgrace that Lei Bo led an army of tens of thousands but was kept out of the city.

But these two days, he personally attacked, with the morale of a fresh army, charged into battle, almost broke into the city twice, but was forced to be driven down, which made him feel aggrieved, and also let him see the violent bear army combat effectiveness.

"Mu Jun's ability to escape from Guanzhong is not in vain!"

Lei Bo said in a low voice: "But Captain Ji led the reinforcements this time, and helped me to break the city. After several days of fighting, I have seen that the city is already at the end of its strength. I believe that as long as we give us another three days , the broken city is in sight!"

"I heard that Mu Longtu's newlywed wife is in the city?" Ji Yu's eyes were burning, he licked his lips, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "On the day of breaking the city, I will love this number one in Luoyang City very much." Talented girl!"
