Chapter 340: Entering the city
Emperor Tianqi issued an order to carry out a large army quickly.
Because judging from the news sent back by many scouts.
It seems that a group of bandits are near the city of Guide Mansion.
Although Emperor Tianqi felt that the brother of King Xin was not capable, he still had brotherhood after all.
But the army was moving rapidly, but all officials couldn't bear it.
Not enough physical strength.
Emperor Aoki asked them to stay in the back team, but these people refused to rely on them and said that they would be with His Majesty no matter what.
All fools know how dangerous this place is. Even if a small army is left to protect it, they are not at ease. After all, the emperor is accompanied by elite soldiers, and most of the people who protect them are crooked.
Therefore, everyone is so tired that they are out of breath every day.
But Emperor Tianqi still refused to stop.
As soon as it was night, all the officials complained in the night tent.
They all went to ask Emperor Aoki again.
The leader is Liu Hongxun.
Liu Hongxun is the Minister of Rites. He is much more pampered in daily life, so he naturally can't stand it!
He limped and brought several ministers to see him and saluted.
Emperor Apocalypse only nodded at him: "What's the matter?"
Liu Hongxun smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I have been suffering from waiting all the way. Guide City is right in front of me. Why should you fight for the length of half a day? My feet are full of blood, so I have to find a doctor to treat it."
Emperor Tianqi said coldly: "What if the bandits surrounded Guide and attacked the city and harmed my brother's lives?"
So everyone looked at each other.
Liu Hongxun said in surprise: "Your Majesty is King Xin? Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is as solid as a god in Guide City. He has so many civil and military officials around him, and none of them are easy to save money! If a group of bandits really dare to hit him, it will be destroyed in the blink of an eye? Your Majesty... You are too worried. However, Your Majesty acts so quickly that the army will inevitably be unable to look after each other. If you encounter a thief, wouldn't it be bad? The so-called son of a thousand gold cannot sit in the hall, Your Majesty... think twice."
After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi just sneered: "I have my own considerations. As for King Xin... is it wrong for me to worry about his safety?"
"Your Majesty, as far as I know..."
At this time, the ministers started to discuss.
Liu Hongxun said again: "As far as I know, King Xin has the left guard, Right guard and Central Guard. Among these three guards, the left guard is the strongest, with 15,000 elite soldiers. King Xin has many soldiers and generals, and so many wise men are on the side. How could he lose? His Majesty acted so quickly on the grounds of King Xin..."
"On the battlefield, there are ever-changing changes. Who can ensure that there is no accident? You don't understand military affairs, what are you talking about here!" Emperor Tianqi couldn't help it and interrupted him angrily.
At this moment, Liu Hongxun dared not say much.
But he couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
I had no choice but to say in my heart, Your Majesty is so stubborn and obeys his own opinions, and it must be Zhang Jingyi, the treacherous, who said something again.
So he pointedly and looked at Zhang Jingyi, the "coachman" standing beside him.
Zhang Jingyi looked confused. Damn, this is my business?
If the emperor cannot be persuaded, Yangyang can only disperse.
However, it has also caused a lot of complaints in the army.
Of course, complaints are mostly caused by accompanying rumors.
Emperor Tianqi just pretended that he didn't see it, and continued to move quickly the next day. Seeing that Guide was in sight.
Of course... a special situation soon occurred.
The imperial carriage actually began to encounter small bandits.
There are hundreds of people.
But what encountered them was a small team of troops from the third teaching team.
After encountering bandits, these more than 30 people were very decisive. They sent people to report to the camp and asked them to send troops to support them at any time.
On the other hand, it is formed to fight directly with the bandits.
Most of the bandits are just weak farmers. When they meet ordinary officers and soldiers, they still have some combat effectiveness, but the students in the teaching team are obviously not ordinary officers and soldiers.
When the students from the teaching team rushed, they were in chaos and they didn't look back and dispersed like birds and beasts.
This time, it was a surprise, but it made Zhang Jingyi alert.
So he ordered the teaching team to protect the carriage at any time to prevent any accidents.
…………
Zhu Youjian, surrounded by civil and military men, climbed up to the city tower and looked down from the city tower, but saw that bandits who were covering the sky and the sun had begun to set up camp outside.
Rather than saying that these bandits are setting up camp, they put down their bags after they come, and they are considered to be "staying in" here.
In the team, there were not only men, but also many women and children, and even women hugged their children and snuggled beside their men.
Therefore, there are babies crying, women shouting, and some people holding chickens from nowhere, and the sound of chickens crowing endlessly.
Of course, there was also a team of people stationed in a farther position. Unlike other bandits, this group of people seemed much more severe.
They were almost all male, wearing the cotton armor of the Ming officers' army. They were not ordinary sticks or poles in their hands, but serious swords and spears.
Like stars holding the moon, they tied up around a large tent.
Seeing this, Zhu Youjian's face turned pale as paper.
Then, he lowered his head and said nothing.
The civil and military officials behind him comforted Zhu Youjian: "Don't worry, your highness, this is a mob. If the left guard comes out, he will definitely win."
Zhu Youjian worked here, but he really had no food, so he did not bring the reward silver for rewards. However, he hurriedly said to the soldiers guarding the city gate to the soldiers who would definitely receive a heavy reward in the future, and then he left with his civil and military officials in a mess.
And under the city...
Zhang San'er was in that big tent at this time.
He was from Ansai, Guanzhong, and was a fellow villager with the King of Chuang Gao Yingxiang. He followed Gao Yingxiang for half a year. After that, he led a group of brothers to Henan. After arriving in Henan, he took the banner of King of Chuang. For a moment, there were many followers, sweeping over most of Henan.
This time he went straight here because he heard that Wang Xin was the brother of the current emperor. He came here to take up the vassal not long ago, so he thought that this was a big fat sheep.
At this time, he was sitting in the big tent, thinking about the way to break the city, but someone said outside: "A lobbyist came to the city."
Zhang Saner just smiled coldly. In fact, he looked honest and honest. If he hadn't been surrounded by a group of bandits like stars and placed anywhere, he would have looked like an honest tenant.
When Zhang Saner heard that there was a lobbyist in the city, he was not surprised at all. He followed Gao Yingxiang in Guanzhong and swept across Henan since then. Every time Zhang Saner sieges the city, he has seen more such things.
As long as they are ready, there will be some cowards in the city who will secretly send people out to express their willingness to open the door to welcome the trespass into the city. Of course...the premise is to ensure the safety of their family.
Otherwise, although there are many bandits, their weapons are extremely simple, and they are mostly old, weak, sick and disabled. How can they break the city?
Zhang San'er had long been accustomed to this and said lightly: "Call in."
So, a man came in carefully.
I saw that this person's fair skin was in sharp contrast with the rough and dark skin of the bandits.
"Little man Wang Qing, I have met you all the kings."
Zhang Saner and others then laughed, as if they thought the person in front of them was very funny and interesting.
The man named Wang Qing was startled and became more cautious. He then laughed and said, "I will serve my master..."
"Who is your master?" Zhang San'er stepped on the long bench, crossed her hands and looked at him sideways.
"He is the commander of the left guard of King Xin. He is the commander of the city gates everywhere. His surname is Wang and Wen Zhi. He and his mentor Wen Tiren have always admired the kings. The name of the king is as bright as the ears. Now the king is coming. The head of the family is ecstatic and wishes to offer the city gate and welcome the king into the city. But... the head of the family hopes... the king can save his life..."
"Of course this is easy to say." Zhang Saner understood the rules. Zhang Saner knew the rules when he heard that the general who came to defend the city.
"Are he and his mentor? Go back and tell him that I, Zhang Saner, is a man with eggs. What I said is naturally counted. Don't worry, just when will he open the door?"
"At midnight tonight, the city gate will naturally open, and the head of the family will provide guidance to the king."
Zhang Saner said, "If you want to, you will go, and after entering the city tonight, he will definitely benefit you."
Only then did Wang Qing breathe a sigh of relief and went there embarrassedly.
Zhang Saner felt at this moment and couldn't help laughing, and everyone was also joking.
"After entering the city tonight, I will send an order to search and kill King Xin and the rich families in the city, and not leave any of them. Oh, yes, keep that king and his master's life..."
As he was talking, someone came hurried outside and said, "It's amazing, something big happened!"
Zhang San'er was shocked and looked at the person in front of her: "Captain Zhao, what's wrong?"
"There are a large number of government troops more than ten miles away."
"What's the scary thing about the official army!"
"It's so great, I'm afraid there are more than 10,000 people."
At this moment, Zhang San seemed cautious and frowned and said, "So much?"
"Not only that, we also encountered a team of people, only dozens of people. Unlike the ordinary government army, we were wearing the armor of the Fengqiu County government army. When we saw us, we not only did not run away, but we rushed directly. Hundreds of brothers were killed by them. I am afraid that this time... we met the elite of the dog emperor, the official army like Fengqiu County."
After hearing this, Zhang San'er's face changed slightly.
"Someone wants to offer the city here, but the other side is an official army running towards it. Could this... be something wrong?"
"Or, we will quit immediately tonight."
It was said that it was the official army from Fengqiu, and so many people came again, and everyone suddenly showed fear.
Zhang Saner shook her head and said, "In my opinion, this may be a plan. When we enter the city, they cooperate with each other and besiege us in the city and kill them all."
“What should I do?”
Zhang Saner seemed hesitant, and saw a big fish right in front of her...
only……
