Chapter 650 Confrontation
Gong Tian and Gong Fang left Chen Fang angry, boarded the carriage and entered the Unyielding City one after another, went to the castle to find Gong Xiaobai, and planned to spread all the anger Chen Fang received on this younger brother.
Of course, venting anger is only incidental, and seeking trouble is the real purpose.
When the army came over, they didn't greet them, and they didn't set up a temporary garrison.
In the end, when they looked for it, their anger and preparations were all pushed back by Gong Xiaobai, the spokeswoman of the imperial court, who arrived in time.
Not welcome? Is it wrong? The law says that you must go out to greet you when you come. You are the emperor himself.
Didn't set up a station? Be careful to tell you slander, it was built earlier, but it was built closer to the border, because the deadline given by the imperial court has not yet come, and the army came first, so there was no time to notify.
Mei Mei's two words directly blocked Gong Tian and Gong Fang back, because of Mei Mei's special status, they couldn't do it even if they wanted to overwhelm others, so they could only stare at Gong Xiaobai who was pretending to be innocent behind his aunt, and proposed The army used the road to enter the unyielding city to meet the requirements of the temporary station.
The reason given was that the east and west sides of Unyielding City, one side was against the mountains, there was no road to go on, and the other side was against the water, so there was no boat, and the army could not pass through.
Gong Tian and Gong Fang made up their minds, as long as Gong Xiaobai let them lead the troops into the city, they will not leave at that time. With a large army in hand, Gong Xiaobai can't do anything to them no matter how reluctant they are. It is up to them to turn against customers.
Regarding the two people's request to enter the city as an excuse, no matter whether it is Yu Mei or Gong Xiaobai, of course they will not agree. Anyone can guess what the other party's plan is. Gong Xiaobai would be put on the fire for doing things in the city, and with a few manipulations, he would probably be dismissed as the lord of Unyielding City.
When the barracks were built outside the city, Wu Mei and the others had already considered this issue and thought of a way.
It's not that Unyielding City has no ships, but it doesn't have so many ships for the army to transport troops, and it doesn't have the ability to build so many ships. However, it is simple to erect two pontoon bridges connecting the opposite bank, and it can be completed in a day.
Charming said this plan, and at the same time emphasized that the army is not allowed to enter the city unless there are special circumstances, this is the rule set by the imperial court.
Gong Tian and Gong Fang couldn't refuse, so they just said a few perfunctory words.
In this way, they left angrily without achieving any goal, but they did not intend to give up the idea of bringing the army into the city.
After leaving Unyielding City, the two people who were at odds with each other got together again and discussed ways.
In the end, it was decided that before the pontoon bridge was erected, they would directly lead the troops to forcibly enter the city. As long as they entered the small broken city, with the strength of their troops, it would not be easy for them to bring Unyielding City under control.
As for the matter of forcibly entering the city and breaking the rules, it is directly handed over to the people in charge of the imperial court to solve it. At most, they will only get a scolding, which is irrelevant.
They also made an agreement in private, that after entering the city, they will each control half of the city, and together they will find a way to get Gong Xiaobai down, and then each will compete for the control of Unyielding City based on their own abilities.
Whoever gets it will get it, and the other side will take the initiative to lead troops out of the field.
After making up their minds, Gong Tian and Gong Fang started to act, leading the army directly to the Unyielding City.
The strange situation of the army outside the city was naturally noticed by everyone in Unyielding City, and they were not surprised by this situation.
In order to prevent Gongtian Gongfang from succeeding, Unyielding City naturally closed the city gates, and the two sides confronted each other.
"Imperial brother, we don't want our soldiers to go far away, and we don't want your men to be troubled to build the pontoon bridge. It's just an excuse. Don't block us out of the city like guarding against thieves." Gong Xiaobai shouted.
Gong Xiaobai poked his head on the top of the wall and replied timidly: "Elder brother and second brother, don't embarrass me. I really can't let you in. An army of so many people entering the city will cause panic among the city residents."
"What panic, you can't treat us as robbers, so make it clear." Gong Fang scolded.
Gong Tian also darkened.
Gong Xiaobai saw that his elder brother and second brother looked terribly angry, he subconsciously shrank his neck, and after a while he plucked up the courage to reply: "I didn't say you were robbers, what I meant was that so many people entered the city, and the noise was too loud to disturb the people." .”
"It's just to cross the road, and it won't be long. It can disturb many times. I don't have time to talk to you here. Hurry up and open the city gate and let us pass." Gong Tian said impatiently.
"Brother, don't make things difficult for my younger brother. According to the rules, armies are not allowed to enter the city at will. I can't open this gate. You'd better wait for me to send someone to erect a pontoon bridge and take a detour from there." Gong Xiaobai said.
"That's right, according to the rules, the army is not allowed to enter the city at will, but now we have come a few days earlier, and there is no barracks for the troops here. You can't let us spend the night here while you are building the pontoon bridge."
Gong Fang pretended to be concerned about his soldiers.
"We didn't bring any camping supplies when we came out this time. The soldiers are already tired after walking all the way here and need to rest. Can you bear to see so many soldiers laying in this open space at night with no quilt to cover? "
"This..." Gong Xiaobai hesitated a little.
Charming pulled Gong Xiaobai away, and shouted directly to the city: "Don't worry, we will send down the prepared supplies later, you have quilts to cover at night, so you won't catch cold."
"You really don't want us to enter the city as an excuse?" Gong Tian said in a deep voice.
"Well, unless we get an order from the imperial court." Gong Xiaobai said bravely.
Given that there is a way to bypass the inflexible city and enter the barracks, of course the imperial court has no reason to order the gates of the unyielding city to be opened for the troops to enter. Support, Human Emperor will not let go of this.
Gong Tian and Gong Fang looked at each other, since they couldn't reach an agreement, there was no need to continue talking.
"Gong Xiaobai, don't be so stubborn, we will enter the city whatever you say today, and I will give you another chance to open the city gate, otherwise we can do it ourselves." Gong Tian put down his harsh words.
"What do you want to do? Do you want to attack the city? This is a serious crime. Brother and brother, you can't be impulsive." Gong Xiaobai shouted in a panic.
"Siege? We're not rebels. How could we attack the city? It's just some arrogant soldiers who don't want to sleep in the wild and smashed the city gate without authorization because they didn't want to sleep in the wild."
"However, we will send troops to catch these people and punish them severely, and we will help you repair the city gate, but there will be more people going there when the city gate is repaired, I hope you don't mind."
Gong Fang said in a mocking tone.
This idea is a way Gong Tian and Gong Fang came up with to deal with Gong Xiaobai closing the city gate.
Those people sent out to cause sabotage will definitely be convicted in the end, but as long as people return to their hands, nothing will happen, and they will just pretend to be locked up for a few days at most.
Gong Tiangong gave a sinister smile, and then led the troops back for a certain distance, and then a group of dozens of tall and mighty men came out of the army formation, and ran towards the city gate cursing.
