165 After the rain, I don't know where the dragon is (3)

"There is an emergency military situation! Get out of the way! I want to meet the Crown Prince!" Feng Shikong led the Shaanxi guards to the Qin Palace. The guards at the main gate of the palace were unmoved, but just secretly looked at these civil and military officials with their eyes.

After a long time, a side door was opened next to the gate and a royal official walked out of it. Feng Shikong narrowed his eyes and recognized this person. It was Zhang Shangxiang, the chief of the Qin Mansion who dared to face the rude prince.

Seeing that the governor and the three officials were with him, Zhang Shangxiu hurriedly stepped forward and asked in confusion: "I wonder why the department and the institute are coming?"

"We are here to ask for the Crown Prince, and there is an urgent military situation!" Feng Shikong said urgently: "Where is your highness?"

"Your Highness did not come back after paying homage to Zhang Zi yesterday. I heard that he had moved to the camp." Zhang Shangxiu said in his heart: You are holding a group to bully others, how can they be too lazy?

"In the camp!" Feng Shikong turned to his colleagues with an anxious look on his face and said, "Hurry! Go to the guard camp station outside the north gate to meet His Highness."

The bureaucrats had no backbone in their hearts. After hearing the governor shouted, they immediately turned around and got into a sedan chair, fearing that they would be alone.

Military newspaper said: Li thief took Nanyang to attack Xi'an on Shangluo Road, and captured Shangzhou the day before yesterday. Huang Shiqing died in the king's affairs.

Now the two armies of thieves have reached the gate of Xi'an, and have truly reached the autumn of life and death. The past cultivation of mind and nature has not changed, and they have all been thrown away from Java. No one can really calm down.

"Master of the Ministry!" The Governor's Office, who had run to explore the road earlier, rushed back on a fast horse, regardless of the people on the streets to watch, shouted loudly: "The Eastern Palace Guard Camp was pulled out last night!"

Feng Shikong felt a chill in his heart and shouted: "Send someone to chase him!" As soon as he said this, he felt something was wrong. What if he chased him back? Could it be that the prince of Chongling took everyone to the city to kill the thief?

Lu Zhiqi rode a horse and was tightly attached to Feng Shikong. Hearing that the prince had left last night, he felt cold in his heart and said, "Feng's Courtyard, the prince left quietly last night, probably because he got the news in advance."

Master Feng was so confused that he didn't speak for a long time.

Dustrielda also came over and said anxiously: "The Ministry of the Ministry. Now the most urgent task is to defend the city and defend the thieves. None of us can afford the crime of losing the land. The officials thought that they should go and invite Sun to come out first."

When Feng Shikong heard about Sun Chuanting, he woke up with a sudden inspiration: "Yes, yes! Cui Dusi said so well, go and ask Sun Governor to take action! We should return to the Qin Palace first and ask the Qin King to make a decision."

Although the vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty had no local administration and military power, even the guards were greatly reduced after Renxuan. At most, they only collected some miscellaneous taxes to eat the farmland, and were actually a prince of Taiping. However, the ancestral system of Emperor Gao. These vassal kings all wanted to guard the capital and thought they would be able to guard the vassal state, so it was not bad for them to come forward when they encountered major events.

When Lu Zhiqi heard this, he lamented in his heart: It would be fine if the crown prince escaped overnight, but the guardians on the side had no idea, it would be fine if they didn’t fight this battle!

"There are still five thousand Sichuan soldiers in Xi'an Prefecture, which may be used!" Huang Jiong said, "But this group of people lack food and clothing, so we should ask the King of Qin to pay a lot of money."

Cuilda's face turned red. She suddenly realized that she might have done something stupid. It was also yesterday that the Sichuan Army Barracks officer Luo Yukun gave him a sum of silver and asked him to give him a pass and go north to eat. Cuilda knew that Xi'an Prefecture had no spare time to raise this Sichuan Army. Instead of holding it in her hands, it would be better to do a favor and take money to get the matter and let these Sichuan Army go to Shanxi to eat.

I didn’t expect that I just left yesterday and the thief arrived today!

——Yes! These Xichuan Qiuba can’t afford even the cold stuff. Where did you get the money to bribe me!

Triard only blamed himself for his greed for a moment, and actually made people foolish and let these Sichuan soldiers who might be able to fight.

"The Sichuan soldiers also set out to camp yesterday." Triard said in a low voice.

"Why are we all together!" Feng Shikong was furious and then he seemed to realize: "Is it the order of the Eastern Palace?"

Trilda just shook her head and didn't say anything.

While he was talking, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind everyone. A man in blue-clothed men rode on the horse. When he saw the officials turning over and falling off the horse, he burst into tears.

Feng Shikong thought it was unlucky and shouted loudly: "Who are you! Why are you crying!"

"Li thief arrived in Chang'an County, and there were only 300 soldiers in Hexian County." The servant cried and said, "My master has already jumped into the well and the whole festival!"

Master Feng was shocked and frightened, and asked sternly: "Who is your master!"

"My master is Mr. Wu of Chang'an County, and his official title is Congyi." The servant endured his grief and reported Wu Congyi's official title.

When Feng Shikong heard that it was Chang'an County, he had an ominous premonition in his heart. When he heard Wu Congyi's name, he completely fell into practice.

In the seventh year of Hongwu, Changxing Hou Geng Bingwen rebuilt the Xi'an city wall in order to strengthen the military defense capabilities of Xi'an City. During this construction, the south wall and the west wall remained unchanged, and the north wall and the east wall each extended one quarter outward, increasing the urban area by about one-third compared to the previous new city built by Han Jianshe. At the same time, the two counties in Chang'an and Xianning were also extended into the city.

Now Chang'an County's well-dumping festival has become the most vivid footnote when the troops are at the city.

The officials and officials were hurt by their kindness. Those who had a marriage with Wu Congyi could no longer hate him; those who had contact with him were even more bleak and tears were shedding their clothes.

"Go to see the King of Qin first." Feng Shi Kong Yaoyao pointed to the King of Qin's mansion, but secretly pressed the horse's head. When Cui Erda followed, the Shaanxi Governor asked in a low voice: "Can you still defend the city and wait for help?"

"We can only do our best to be honest with you." Trilda said dejectedly.

Shaanxi is located in the border area, so it has Shaanxi Dusi and Xingdusi. The Dusi is located in Xi'an and Xingdusi is located in Ganzhou. The two are 2,600 miles apart. When it comes to reinforcements, Xingdusi cannot count on them. In comparison, Shanxi's Jin soldiers are more reliable, but the premise is that Xi'an can hold them for more than one month.

"Kaifeng has been in charge for a year and a half, so Xi'an is not weaker than Kaifeng, right?" Feng Shikong asked in a low voice.

Trilda was speechless.

The Kaifeng Battle was indeed the most tragic battle since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

From February to September of the 15th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng San opened the Feng Mansion, and both sides fought to the death. With no choice, they even moved their thoughts on the head of the Yellow River at the same time, and wanted to break the dike and release the water. In the end, Li Zicheng successfully broke the dike and flooded the entire Kaifeng City. Kaifeng City, with a population of more than 300,000 people were killed after war, famine, drowning, and massacre. In the end, less than 300,000 people were left.

After this battle, Li Zicheng was also injured and withdrew from the dead city. The Ming court had to deal with the Qing soldiers from the entrance of Xuanda, so he was naturally even more powerless to pursue them.

If Xi'an was also like this...

Trilda couldn't even imagine it.

Seeing that Cui Erda did not speak, Feng Shikong had to sigh and let his horse go to the Qin Palace.

This scene on the street soon spread throughout Xi'an City through rumors. Every household hid men and food. They prepared big red paper with "Suan people" and prepared to welcome the King of Break.

...

King Zhu Cunji of Qin stood by the pond, sprinkling bait into the water, watching the koi compete for food. He had heard Zhang Shang say about the bandits attacking the city, but the only thing he could do was to pretend to be calm and play with carp here.

"King, we should continue to suffer the chaos! Since the crown prince is summoned by us, it is not a sin to follow the crown prince!" Zhang Shang said anxiously: "If you are late, you will not be able to leave the door!"

Zhu Cunji suddenly turned his head and shouted hysterically: "No! I gave Li Zhe a lot of grass and trees here, and I wouldn't give it to that beast!"

Zhang Shangxiu was so angry that he choked for a moment.

What a stupid thing this is!

Li Zicheng is the murderer who killed your relatives. The crown prince is your nephew. Even if the crown prince is rude, he cannot say such a thing that is not right or wrong no matter what!

Especially this is still a big deal!

Zhu Cunji suddenly smiled as he looked at the inexplicable shocked Zhang Shangxiu. As if he wanted to appease the loyal chief minister, he said: "I have dreamed of Emperor Taizu Gao. Really! Emperor Gao has really come to him with a dream!"

Zhang Shangxiu felt amazement in his heart: Oh no! This person looks like he is crazy!

"Emperor Gao is very fierce!" Zhu Cunji seemed to be frightened by the dream he recalled and shivered. His voice became sharp: "It's like I'm going to peel me alive!"

"King..." Zhang Shangxiu shouted, trying to awaken Zhu Cunji from his hysteria.

"It's exactly the same as that beast prince! It's exactly the same!" Zhu Cunji roared wildly, as if he was completely in a dream, running along the bridge, and he could still hear the screams of fear and terror from afar.

Zhang Shangxiu stood on the spot in a trance. He was stunned: When Xi'an lost, two-thirds of the world fell into the hands of the thieves... Is the Emperor Ming Dynasty, which was cast with great courage, about to end?

"Changshi Zhang.Changshi? Mr. Zhang?"

"Ah? What's the matter?" Zhang Shangxiu felt someone calling him in a trance. When he came to his senses, he saw that it was a servant from the Qin Mansion.

"Mr. Feng and the others are back again, please see the king."

"I'll welcome them in, and you go and ask the princess to persuade the king to come out." Zhang Shangxiu could only treat the dead horse as a living horse.

Feng Shikong and others were welcomed into the main hall by Zhang Shang, and their hearts were hung in a strong voice. They waited for a long time and were about to lose patience. Finally, they were looking forward to Zhu Cunji, the contemporary prince of Qin's vassal.

Feng Shikong immediately met and said sadly: "King! The thieves are about to force the city. Please ask the king to open the treasury and recruit volunteers to defend the city!"

Zhu Cunji looked at Feng Shikong, his eyes flushed: "Open my treasury? Open my treasury! Why are you all staring at my silver! Get out! You wine bags! Useless things! Get out of here!"

The governor is also a leader. He is somewhat arrogant.

Feng Shikong was scolded by Zhu Cunji, and he felt sad and angry, and he thought to himself: This is the country of your Zhu family! You don’t care, let alone the ministers of other surnames! As long as you have fulfilled your integrity, you will be worthy of your kindness. Huang Jiong and others were all sad when they saw this situation.

Everyone was in a daze and left the Qin Prince's Mansion. Cuildalda bowed to the bureaucrats and said, "The military affairs are about to come, please forgive me and I will take the lead and fight against the enemy!"

Everyone knew a little about the current military force of Xi'an Prefecture, and they said bitterly, just saying, "I wish Sima will succeed!"

Cuildal himself did not believe that the soldiers and villages in Xi'an Prefecture could block Li Zicheng's 100,000 troops.
