Help!Master Chief Assistant's Jiaojiao is a black widow

Chapter 216 Taking the Body as Bait
In the post house, there was a lot of chatting and laughing, and everyone was talking and talking happily. Zhang Xian never saw Hua Rujin's figure, so he couldn't help feeling suspicious in his heart.

Looking around at everyone, he said with a silly smile, "Your Highness, why don't you see Miss Hua?"

"Hey, she's sick and resting in her room. She's been talking about the governor, so I'm going to send someone to call her over."

Zhu Zhiye made a perfunctory sentence casually.

"No need, just let her rest well. After all, it's a girl's house, and gold is precious."

Zhang Xian glanced at Wu Muning next to him, and sighed softly: "Tomorrow when the army goes out to fight, leaving Miss Wu and Miss Hua in the city is really worrying. Your Highness is also new to the border, so why don't you just stay in Fenzhou and sit in town?" , the veteran will definitely win the Tongzhou this time, and will never disappoint His Highness' high expectations."

"As the prince, I should take the lead in the battle to boost morale at this time. How can I let the governor go out alone?"

Just as Zhu Zhiye finished speaking, Hua Rujin walked in slowly and generously.

The two gestured to each other, and Hua Rujin pretended to be sick and said: "Your Highness has such ambitions, and His Majesty will be pleased to know that, but the governor is old, so he should stay in the city to rest."

"Miss Hua, what are you talking about?"

Zhang Xian was a little startled by her sudden appearance, and it was even more puzzling for her to say such unreasonable words.

"As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, there is no reason to stay behind."

"The commander-in-chief of the three armies does not have to be the governor, maybe there are others who can take on this important task."

Hua Rujin smiled evilly at him.

Zhang Xian and Zhao Heng looked at each other in dismay. When they were confused, they suddenly saw a servant rushing in in a panic, and said loudly: "The governor, the army supervisor, it's not good. Han Wei brought people to the posthouse. Killed in."

"What, Han Wei?"

Zhang Xian turned pale with fright: "This bastard, who let him out?"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly cupped his hands to Zhu Zhiye and said, "Your Highness, please wait a little while, the old minister will go and suppress these rebellious officials and thieves."

"No need."

Zhu Zhiye swallowed his anger for many days, and when he heard the news, he finally raised his eyebrows, raised his eyes and said with a smile: "This king released him. Tomorrow, he will accompany me to conquer Tongzhou."

"This"

Zhang Xian was taken aback for a moment, and while he was still hesitating, he saw Han Wei leading a group of people to kill him.

"His Royal Highness actually plotted against the old minister."

Only then did Zhang Xian understand King Ning's intention, and with a hint, the generals in the banquet drew out their swords one after another.

"What, you want to rebel?"

Zhu Zhiye raised his eyebrows coldly.

All the generals saw that the banquet was full of swords, lights and swords, and soldiers were everywhere, so they dared not act rashly.

Only then did Zhu Zhiye take out the imperial decree, and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree that Zhang Xian and Zhao Heng colluded with the enemy and betrayed the imperial court, and I specially ordered this king to escort these two people back to Beijing for interrogation. If anyone dares to help the tyrant, he will be punished with the same crime. "

Han Wei swung his knife and shouted angrily: "Take Zhang Xian, Zhao Heng."

The rest of the generals who were watching put down their weapons one after another, and were captured without a fight.

After the two of them were escorted down, Zhu Zhiye didn't dare to delay any longer. After apologizing to Han Wei and the others, he hurriedly asked, "How is Xinzhou City now?"

"Zhang Xian did not hide this from His Highness."

Han Wei truthfully said: "Hu Kemo mobilized 30 troops to surround Xinzhou City. Since Tongzhou fell, the last general has never heard of Xinzhou City."

Hua Rujin was also anxious, and quickly asked: "His Royal Highness, now the only way is to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and attack Tongzhou City to give Xinzhou a chance to breathe."

Wei Shuhan recognized his disciple's strategy very much, and echoed with hesitation in his eyes: "The reason why the enemy attacked Xinzhou City is because this city is connected to the main road of Yanmen Pass, which can fully guarantee the enemy's backup, and Tongzhou is the gateway to our dynasty. The army must not want to lose, now that our army has changed commanders, the Tartars dare not be careless, and will definitely return to aid."

"Okay, Han Wei, the king ordered you to send troops to Tongzhou, are you sure to take back this city?"

Zhu Zhiye immediately asked Han Wei.

"The final general is willing to lead the [-] troops of the headquarters to retake Tongzhou within ten days."

Han Wei's blood is boiling at the moment, waiting for his shame to be avenged.

Zhu Zhiye saw that Hua Rujin was worried about Ye Chengwei's safety, and she was afraid that she would change if she was late, so she hurriedly said, "Okay, this king will give you 10 people, and order you to take back Tongzhou within three days."

"The last general takes orders."

Han Wei responded and left.

Although Hua Rujin was grateful for Zhu Zhiye's sincere concern for Ye Chengwei, she felt a little uneasy: "At present, the soldiers and horses in Fenzhou, plus those who have retreated from the same state, are only 12 people. Your Highness will transfer all the elite Attacking Tongzhou, leaving some old, weak, sick and disabled, if the enemy army knows that His Highness is in the city, they will definitely abandon Tongzhou and go straight here."

"This king knows."

Zhu Zhiye closed his eyes, patted her on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't you always say that this king has no ambitions? Ye Chengwei and the soldiers are fighting bloody battles in front, and this king can't just watch them fight in front of us." Fighting yourself and doing nothing, Ye Chengwei can fight against 30 enemy troops with a mere tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to protect the people of a city, why not this king."

"But."

"Nothing but."

Zhu Zhiye said firmly: "It's just a big gamble, why not trade the safety of the king alone for a chance to reverse the situation? If the enemy dares to go straight to Fenzhou, as long as Han Wei wins Tongzhou within three days, the siege of Xinzhou will definitely be defeated." If the time comes, they will return to support and attack, and the enemy will never come back."

It was the first time seeing him with such great determination, not only Hua Rujin, but even Wu Muning was quite moved.

"Your Highness, I would like to guard Fenzhou City with you."

Wu Muning suddenly felt that the silly son of the landlord's family she liked had become promising, and she was so excited that tears filled her eyes.

At this moment, Hua Rujin also felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.

He finally saw the right person, he knew the mission on his shoulders.

"Since His Highness has made up his mind, I am willing to live and die with His Highness and Fenzhou City."

Now Hua Rujin only hopes that Ye Chengwei can return from Xinzhou City as soon as possible, so she is determined to stick to this city with Zhu Zhiye.

Wei Shuhan watched from the side, thinking of his brother's expectations, finally found some comfort in his heart, and decided to stick to the city with King Ning.

Xinzhou City, which had been besieged for several months, was already depleted of people and horses. Fortunately, several heavy snowfalls since the New Year not only delayed the progress of the enemy's siege, but also solved the problem of drinking water for the soldiers and civilians in the city.

Ye Chengwei led the [-] troops back from various places to repel the enemy's attack time and time again. Seeing that there were more and more wounded soldiers in the city and the shortage of food and wages, his anxiety grew day by day.

On this day, after Qi Feng accompanied him to patrol the city defenses, he returned to his tent, brought a bowl of hot porridge, handed it to him, and said with concern: "Commander, you haven't eaten for two days. Let's have a bowl of porridge."

Ye Chengwei stared at the corners of his chapped lips, feeling inexplicably sour in his heart: "Take it and share it with the soldiers."

"Don't worry, Commander. Last night, the gentry in the city collected some rations. They can last for a few days if they save some. Now Commander is the pillar of the whole city, you can't fall down."

Qi Feng brought the porridge in front of him again.

Ye Chengwei frowned: "Right now, many people in the city have starved to death, and I ordered them not to accept any more rations from the people."

"The last general has already given orders."

Qi Feng explained: "But the squires all know the nature of the Tartars. If they really let them enter the city, the massacre of the city may be inevitable. The common people are willing to live and die with the commander."

"I'm the one who hurt everyone."

Ye Chengwei sighed: "If I hadn't ordered to stick to Xinzhou, maybe the Tartars would have left us a way out."

"The commander-in-chief is devoting himself to guarding the border to the death, how can he take the blame on himself."

Qi Feng put down the porridge in his hands indignantly, and cursed: "If it wasn't for Zhang Xian's incompetence, he didn't even win a small Shuozhou and lost Tongzhou, why did I wait here?"

"It's over, it's useless to talk about it."

As soon as Ye Chengwei finished speaking, he suddenly saw the officer running in ecstatically, and said anxiously:
"Ye Shuai, General Qi, the Tartars have retreated."
