Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Shen led his less than two thousand brothers to attack the palace courtyard. Shi Xiaowei closed the city gate and was responsible for guarding the city gate to prevent the enemy from entering the city.

However, Zhao Shen felt that if Xun Xiu had rebelled long ago, he would have secretly transported troops into the city long ago, and there was no need to rush into the city today.

So the place where Zhao Ming and the little emperor are now must be very dangerous.

Even after much thought, he didn't think he could win the battle with more than a thousand people, so he stopped a few brothers and dragged Zhao Jiajun to serve as their guide, saying: "I already know where the palace garden is. You don't need to." Lead the way, you lead them through the streets and alleys, beat gongs and drums, gather all the people in the city, find all the flags with the word 'Zhao', and let them pretend to be the Zhao family army."

The soldier was stunned and asked: "How can this method be possible? The people in the city have never been trained."

Zhao Shen had seen many cities destroyed and people killed along the way. How many of the soldiers guarding the city were trained?

He said: "Don't you all say that the general is highly respected among the people and responds to every call? In that case, we should use this advantage."

"I don't know the inside story of the Xun family's army's rebellion, but the Xun family's army was once under the command of the general and received a lot of favors from her. I don't believe that all the soldiers are willing to follow Xun Xiu in the rebellion," Zhao Shen said: "They may just lack an opportunity, and What we lack is time, and the people in this city can awaken that opportunity and delay time for us."

This soldier had learned how to read with volunteers from the logistics and school, and had also listened to Zhao Hanzhang's lectures. Hearing this, he disapproved and said: "This is exposing the people of the city to danger. The general said that we defend the city to protect it." The people, the city is here, and the people are there. If you want to save the people, you can destroy the city, but you cannot ignore the life and death of the people just to defend a city."

Zhao Shen looked at him in surprise when he heard this and asked, "What's your name?"

The soldier said with a serious face: "A certain Feng Wei, even if Lang Jun dealt with me according to military law, I would also like to say this."

"I am not your general, and I have no authority to deal with you according to military law," Zhao Shen said, "What do you mean, are you willing to give up a city to protect the people?"

The soldier nodded seriously.

Zhao Shen asked: "What about His Majesty, Governor Zhao and other ministers?"

The soldier was stunned. He didn't care about the little emperor, because he was not a soldier of the little emperor. He was a soldier of the general, but he couldn't ignore Zhao Ming.

That's the general's uncle.

The soldier had a headache.

Zhao Shen then said: "For the sake of the world, we can only implement this risky plan. You said that the Xun family's army only has ten thousand people in the city, but I know that there must be more than that. Xun Xiu is also a famous general, and the palace is just an ordinary mansion." Son, how long can we defend against it? So we must have enough manpower to carry out the suspicion strategy."

"The people asking for help have already gone out and will arrive early tomorrow morning at the latest, so no matter what, we have to hold on until tomorrow."

Feng Wei gritted his teeth and finally turned around.

He took the people given by Zhao Shen, beat gongs and walked through the streets, loudly recruiting people as soldiers.

At first, everyone kept the door closed, but when they heard that Zhao Hanzhang's uncle, County Shou Zhao, was also trapped in another courtyard, some people began to open the door and peek out.

Seeing the soldiers, a young man in brown cloth couldn't help gritting his teeth. He went into the house and took out a long fork and asked, "Are you Zhao Jiajun?"

Feng Wei's eyes widened and he immediately said: "Yes, look at my face. I often guard the East City Gate. Do you recognize me?"

The man looked at his face carefully and found that he looked familiar, so he walked out of the door with a fork and said, "I'll go with you."

As soon as the sound subsided, the neighbor next door also opened the door and stuck his head out to take a look. After a pause, he retracted and closed the door. After a while, he came out with a hoe and followed silently.

The doors in this alley opened one after another, and young men walked out with the weapons they could find. Two young men came out of several houses. A young boy followed him out with a fire stick, but was pushed by his brother. go back;

Then there are women in their prime. After all, there are not that many young people in the city.

When Feng Wei saw that they wanted to refuse, a thin-faced woman who was only about 24 or 25 years old said calmly: "The general is also a girl, and there are also female soldiers under the general. What you men can do, we women can't do." Also done.”

As soon as Feng Wei heard this, he no longer refused. He walked through the streets and called out all the people he could. At this time, Zhao Shen and his team had already rushed to the street of the other courtyard and besieged the royal family with Zheng. The Xun family's army in another courtyard encountered each other, and the two sides started a fierce battle.

As Zhao Shen expected, the so-called Royal Courtyard could not be defended at all, and Xun Xiu had already led his men to kill it.

This was originally an ordinary large house, the home of a local wealthy family in Meng County. In order to direct the frontline war, Zhao Ming and the young emperor retreated here, and he immediately vacated the house for them to live in.

Because it is the residence of the emperor, it is euphemistically called the Palace Villa. In fact, the wall is less than two meters long. Except for the main door, the other corner doors can be kicked down with a kick.

So Xun Xiu suddenly attacked, and the house could not resist his attack.

Oh, by the way, not all of Zhao Jiajun's 10,000 troops in the city are in other courtyards. Nonsense, this house is so big, how can it possibly accommodate so many people?

There were less than a thousand soldiers and generals patrolling the house, but the surrounding houses were requisitioned by Zhao Ming, and the Zhao family's military camp was nearby, so reinforcements returned quickly, but in the end they were unable to withstand Xun Xiu's attack.

After all, Zhao Jiajun also sent people to guard the city gate, and other places were also guarded. Xun Xiu must have secretly brought troops in.

At this time, Zhao Ming was standing in the lobby with his sword in hand. Behind him was the trembling and pale little emperor. The courtiers could barely hold their own, but their faces were also a little pale.

The door in front of them was closed, and three groups of soldiers outside were trying hard to prevent Xun Xiu from entering.

Hearing the shouts of killing getting closer and closer, bows and arrows even shot through the door into the hall from time to time. The soldiers in the hall immediately stepped forward with shields to block the incoming arrows.

A stray arrow shot from the top of the door frame and shot toward the seat where the little emperor was sitting. The guard guarding the little emperor slashed it with a knife.

After the arrow shot through the door frame, it was relieved of its strength and was easily chipped away, but it still shocked the little emperor. His legs became weak. When he saw the broken arrow falling at his feet, the ten-year-old boy I couldn't help crying.

Zhao Ming looked back at him, with emotions rolling in his eyes. At that moment, the thought that flashed through his mind was that if Xun Xiu attacked, he would lead the young emperor and King Yuzhang to die for the country, and all Xun Xiu's plans would be wiped out. Become empty.

He wanted to imitate Zhao Hanzhang and hold the emperor hostage to control the princes. If the emperor was gone, what could he use to resist Zhao Hanzhang?

As long as Hanzhang returns, he can summon Zhao's army to attack him with a single call, and the world will soon be stable.

And if the emperor fell into his hands, Xun Xiu might actually be able to hold the emperor against Han Zhang, and the world would be in chaos again.

But such an idea was contrary to what he had always stood for. Zhao Ming was confused for a moment. He must have been bewitched by Zhao Hanzhang. How could he have such a rebellious idea?

See you tomorrow
