"Lord, take a break. You haven't had a night of rest! After the arrival of the Yuan army, there has been no movement for a long time. I'm afraid there will be no action tonight!" Yuan Changqing, the commander of the South Gate, stood behind Zhang Yuan, looking at the connected Yuan army camp in the dark night in the distance, with flames dotted with fire.

The number of Yuan army was unexpectedly large and unexpectedly small.

"Unexpectedly, they came and went freely and were so arrogant in the jurisdiction of our army!" Zhang Yuan stood there for a long time, with a little anger in his words. It was not surprising that the Yuan army appeared, but it was really not surprising. Since he realized that the Outer Mongolia Khanate might send troops to help Genghis Khan, Zhang Yuan had expected such a day.

However, Zhang Yuan did not expect that the other party could come and go freely in the temporal state, and there were traitors to cover them up. This reduced his favorability for the temporal state more than a little. After all, the temporal state had a Zuo Zhiming, but it is undeniable that under the management of the Mongolians, this place is still no different from other places.

The vast majority of ordinary people have long been accustomed to the rule of foreign races. For them, it has nothing to do with them who becomes emperor. This is why the Central Plains were ruled by foreign races twice in history. They did not suddenly overthrow their rule after they finally had no choice but to overthrow their rule, just like overthrowing other dynasties established by the Central Plains themselves. It has to be said that this is the tragedy of the entire nation.

Yuan Changqing said: "The people are ignorant, so that the lord needs to overthrow this dynasty ruled by foreign races!"

Zhang Yuan shook his head in silence and said, "Don't put a high hat on me. The Yuan army came from three sides, and the number of people was three times that of ours. Chiming City lost its dam, the city wall was not high and not thick, and it was not easy to defend and difficult to attack! There was a fight in this battle. I have to say that they found a good opportunity to capture the thief and capture the king first. As expected, one blow was fatal! I thought that they might attack Hanzhou, but I never thought that they were their target!"

Yuan Changqing listened to Zhang Yuan's feelings and didn't know where to start. He stood silently behind Zhang Yuan and could not comfort him.

"Okay, cheer up and accompany me to see the soldiers guarding the city. Today is the first day. What trouble the other party is going to do, this period is the most suitable time!" Zhang Yuan turned around and patted Yuan Changqing on the shoulder, and then said to a personal guard behind him: "Take a team of people to patrol the city in Chiming, so that all the soldiers patrolling the city will pay attention. Once something happens, there is the right to make a decision! I don't want to mess up inside me when I resist foreign enemies."

The strong fortress was often broken from the inside. Since the Yuan army successfully surrounded him in Chiming City, Zhang Yuan and the entirely lost their trust in the Han people here, he might have misunderstood many people.

However, just in case, Zhang Yuan had no choice but to do so.

"Here!" Facing Zhang Yuan's solemn order, the personal guard did not dare to neglect and responded.

After the personal guards left, Zhang Yuan inspected the defenses of the city walls. A thousand soldiers led by Yuan Changqing were distributed all over the city walls. The seemingly few people were enough to tighten the handle of the not-high city walls.

At the same time, there is a house in Chi Mingcheng.

A middle-aged strong man with a scar on his face sat at the square table, looking at the people in the other three positions, and said, "This Xihe rebellious defense is very tight. I just observed secretly for half an hour, and there were ten teams of soldiers walking down the street, and they were all very elite, so crazy!"

The scar-faced man took the lead, and the middle-aged man dressed in a scholar also said with a bitter face: "The lakeside is also illuminated by lights. There are people taking control in the open and secret ways, and the streets are blocked. I secretly looked at it. There are many rebellious Xihe in the center of the lake! If Chiming City is not in chaos, my salt gang will not be able to rush in!"

The man in brocade clothes sitting on the head with his back against the inner wall said, "Hmph, before they started, they complained, what's the use of telling me, you don't need to do your tasks? Let me tell you, if you don't do anything before dawn, you will be everyone who is unlucky at that time!"

"What do you mean?" The scar-faced man slammed on the table with a slap, and the oil lamp on the table jumped. He glared at the man in brocade and said, "Don't think you can be arrogant with the support of those Outer Mongolians. If you have the ability, you can try it yourself. If you can't finish it, you can accomplish your mission!"

"What did you say, try saying it again..."

Originally, the solemn atmosphere was suddenly tense, and the man in the brocade confronted him without any allowance, and he was very stunning to fight without saying a word.

"Okay, don't pretend, it's too fake, it's boring!" The old man who had been sitting there drinking tea without any movement slowly put down his teacup and said, "I know what you are trying to do. Now that we are all grasshoppers on the same rope, no one can escape. So, put away all those little thoughts. Think more about how to do this. If you do it well, you should do it!"

The scribe man poured tea for the other party again, and the tea fragrance filled the air and said flatteringly: "Hehe, what you have always taught is that the young and ignorant people are young and ignorant, and you still have to make it happen!"

The old man glanced at the scholar and said lightly: "When it's early morning, I will send someone to comfort the army first. If this matter is done, you are taking action. If it fails, you will stop. Do not do anything, sacrifice it in vain. If it fails, you will not complete the task assigned by the adults, delay the adults' major affairs and lose their lives. Do you think so?"

"But..." The man in brocade naturally heard the other party's meaning. The old man took a step back, and he also didn't mean that he could make more progress.

However, the tasks assigned by the Mongols, that they could not delay in cooperating with the attack in the early morning. If the Mongols blamed him, he would not be able to afford it.

A hint of boredom flashed in the old man's eyes, and he suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "If the Mongolian blames him, can I bear it with all my strength?"

The man in brocade clothes was waiting for this sentence, ecstatic, without any refusal, nodding, and the other two looked both despised and envious, and there was a little more ridicule in his eyes when he looked at the old man.

There was no need to go on here. Several people said goodbye one after another, left from the dark tunnel, and the old man sat alone in the lobby.

After a long time, the old man said, "Have you sent everyone away?"

"Master, you have all sent it away!" The old housekeeper walked in slowly, looked at the old man sitting there, and said sadly: "Master, these men are all greedy and intrigue, not enough to be accomplices. Why are you doing this?"
