The Sims: The Emperor Raising Project

Chapter 232
Outside Lin'an city!

Chang Yuchun ordered the soldiers to push hundreds of catapults to the front of the battle, and then ordered the soldiers to fill the catapults with clay pots.

Zhao Gou and the others at the head of the city looked puzzled at this scene.

Looking at the hundreds of catapults lined up in a row outside the city, Wan Qixi was so frightened that he trembled, his teeth chattered and said: "If my expectation is correct, the clay pot should be filled with kerosene. If you want to set fire to the city, the officials must investigate."

Hearing this, Zhao Gou frowned, and glanced sideways at Wan Qixi, whose body was shaking like a sieve, with an unconcealable look of contempt flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The big deal is to perish with Lin'an jade and stone, what's there to be afraid of?" huh?"

Wan Qixie nodded awkwardly when he heard the words, and said with a smile on his face: "What the officials say is very true, what they say is very true."

Wan Qixi said so, but what he thought in his heart was "dead friends will not die poor people."

He didn't have the thought and consciousness to die generously with Zhao Gou.

Looking at the catapult phalanx that was only four hundred steps away from the city, Zhang Jun frowned and fell into deep thought. After contemplating, he couldn't help frowning, and said: "The effective range of the catapult is about [-] steps, but Why did they place their catapults four hundred paces from the city?"

Zhang Bao, who was temporarily pulled by Zhang Jun to be a strong man, also couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, "Perhaps you feel that the closer the distance is, the greater the power of the catapult can be exerted?"

Hearing this, Zhang Jun couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly, and said: "The catapult is no better than an arrow. It needs to fly a certain distance in the air. After accumulating power, it can use the force of the fall to increase the impact. Therefore, the distance is too short. For the catapult, It's not a good thing."

Hearing this, Zhang Bao nodded clearly.

Just when the two were puzzled by Liu Bian's intentions.

Chang Yuchun outside the city quickly revealed the answer to everyone. Chang Yuchun raised his saber and pointed it straight at Lin'an City. With an order, five hundred catapults that had been loaded were launched at the same time, launching the first round of catapults into the city. attack.

The five hundred pottery pots pierced the sky and flew straight to Lin'an City with the sound of the wind breaking through the eardrums.

Seeing this, the defenders at the top of the city, including Zhao Gou, hid their bodies behind the battlements to avoid the extremely terrifying stone-throwing attack.

After a long time.

Everyone was surprised to find that the catapult had already completed the first round of projection, but the attack was delayed. Zhao Gou frowned with a face of confusion, looked up at the sky, and saw several clay pots falling behind With a sound of breaking wind, he crossed the city head and flew straight into the city.

Seeing this, Zhao Gou couldn't help frowning, with an expression of confusion on his face, he stood up silently, looking at the hundreds of clay pots flying into the city over the top of the city, he couldn't help frowning and lost himself in thought.

After a long time.

Zhao Gou, who was puzzled, frowned and looked at Wan Qixi, and asked, "What do the rebels want?"

Wan Tuxi shook his head in a dazed expression, laughed awkwardly, and said, "The rebels are cunning, and I can't guess what they're thinking."

Right now.

Yang Cunzhong, who was in charge of the Shenwu Central Army at the time, came to Zhao Gou silently, handed the note in his hand to Zhao Gou, and said: "There are all these things in the pottery pot. I respectfully invite the officials to read it."

Zhao Gou looked at Yang Cunzhong silently, reached out to take the note from Yang Cunzhong, and checked it at a glance. After reading it, he couldn't help being furious. He called his elder brother by his name regardless of his identity, and cursed: "Zhao Gou Huan, I am at odds with you."

Liu Bian ordered people to use a catapult to throw clay pots into Lin'an City, and the pots were filled with words that wantonly smeared Zhao Gou, and the contents of the note were written by Qin Hui himself.

Qin Hui first directly named himself as the prime minister at the beginning of the chapter, and then according to Liu Bian's instructions, deliberately discredited Zhao Gou as a treacherous and evil person who had no elder brother and colluded with the Jin people to kill the people.

Qin Hui finally emphasized Liu Bian's legitimacy, and truthfully narrated Liu Bian's heroic deeds after he escaped from the Five Kingdoms City.

Comparing the two, Liu Bian's image is set off by Zhao Gou to be extremely stalwart, while Zhao Gou is portrayed by his most trusted Zaifu as a clown with mediocre resources, mediocre abilities, but extremely greedy for power and position.

The eyes of the common people are discerning, who is good and who is bad, although they don't say it, but they are like a mirror in their hearts.

Now that Liu Bian led his army to the city, Zhao Gou originally only had worries outside the city, but now he was facing trouble inside the city.

Looking at Zhao Gou, who was clutching the note tightly in his hands, and lost his soul, Wan Qixi sighed secretly, and immediately made a judgment, thinking: "The people's hearts have been lost, and the safety of the people is in danger."

After thinking about it, Wan Qixi bowed to Zhao Gou and said solemnly: "Don't worry about the officials, I am willing to go to the army of Zhang Shuxiang to supervise the battle with a knife."

Zhao Gou heard the words, as if grasping the last life-saving straw, he tightly held Wan Qixie's hand, and said: "The Duke of the Manchu Dynasty, only Aiqing can be worthy of loyalty and courage. , I decided to take the position of Chancellor to reward my love for your loyalty and bravery."

When Wan Qixie heard the words, Da Luobo looked at Zhao Gou with a face that was neither red nor white, and said: "The official family is like the virtue of heaven, and I can't repay it. I am willing to live and die with Lin'an in order to repay Your Majesty's kindness."

"it is good."

At the same time Zhao Gouda was moved, he untied the sword from his waist, handed it to Wan Qixie, and said: "Seeing things is like seeing a king, and I give you the right to cut first and then play."

Wan Qixi took the "Shangfang Sword" from Zhao Gou with both hands, knelt down on both knees, and paid homage to Zhao Gou: "It is really a blessing for three lives to have the trust of the official family. I am willing to use this body as an official Do the work of a dog and a horse."

(Shangfang sword is in quotation marks because the concept of Shangfang sword did not appear in the Song Dynasty)

After Wan Qixie finished speaking, holding the "Shangfang Sword" in his hand, he said goodbye to Zhao Gou with a sob, and went straight to Zhang Junjun.

Looking at Wan Qixi's back gradually going away, Zhao Gou suddenly felt more confident, and sighed: "There are loyal ministers in the Great Song Dynasty."

After a long time.

Wan Qixi came to meet Zhang Jun holding the "Shangfang Sword" bestowed by Zhao Gouyu in both hands.

Zhang Jun silently glanced at Wan Qi Xi who was holding Shang Fang's sword, frowned and said, "Why are you here?"

Wan Qixi silently put the sword aside, looked around like a guilty conscience, and saw no one around, so he took Zhang Jun to a place where there was no one, and said: "Dare to ask the prime minister, what is the victory of this victory?" Negative geometry?"

Zhang Jun naturally heard the implication of Wan Qixi's words, he looked directly into Wan Qixi's eyes playfully, and said, "What do you think?"

Seeing this, Wan Qixi couldn't help smiling awkwardly, and said: "We wise people don't talk dark words. From my perspective, the outcome of this battle has been decided. Under internal and external troubles, the officials have no chance of winning."

Hearing this, Zhang Jun couldn't help frowning, looked at Wan Qixi with an uncertain expression, and said, "What do you mean?"

Looking at Zhang Jun who was quite vigilant, Wan Qixi shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Master Zhang Shu, it's already this time, can we be more honest?"

Zhang Jun looked at Wan Qixi with a strange expression, and asked, "How can you be honest?"

Wan Qixi looked directly into Zhang Jun's eyes, and said word by word: "Today's words, come out of my mouth and into your ears. Heaven knows, the earth knows, you know and I know. If a third person listens to it, the secret will be leaked." People will be struck by the five thunders and die, and they will never be reborn."

After Wan Qixi finished speaking, he raised his right hand to meet in the air, waiting for Zhang Jun's reply.

Seeing this, Zhang Jun nodded silently, then raised his hand and gave Wan Qi Xie a high-five oath.

until this time.

Wan Tuxi finally opened his heart to Zhang Jun. He silently leaned into Zhang Jun's ear and whispered, "Master Zhang Shu, in my opinion, should we surrender?"
