lady, please calm down

Bianliang, Tokyo, has been the capital of the Wei Dynasty since the Spring and Autumn Period. It has been the capital of the Six Dynasties for more than 1,500 years and has gone through many hardships and disasters.

But on November 18th, the third year of Xuanqing's reign, this thousand-year-old capital was trembling and trembling amid rolling thunder.

Even though the main force of the Jinxia Army stormed the north city, more than 10,000 people were still stationed in the camp in the south of the city.

According to common sense, these people should be able to survive for a day or two even if they are besieged by several times the army based on their camp.

Unexpectedly, the barrier built by countless thigh-thick logs fell apart in just a quarter of an hour.

The soldiers behind the village wall and the wall were flying everywhere with the rising smoke. Even those who were farther away looked stupid.

There were countless Jin Xia sergeants with blood oozing from their mouths, noses, ears, and eyes. It was obvious that their organs had been injured by the shock.

Anyway, within 300 steps of the gap in the camp that was blown open more than a hundred feet deep, Sergeant Jin Xia temporarily lost the ability to think and act.

Immediately, the white-robed and silver-armored female general took the lead. The green-maned horse running at a high speed made a leap, crossed a hole created by the explosive pack, and entered the camp.

Behind, like a flat tide, is a large group of cavalry troops.
On the city, the Tokyo Xiang army, which had been besieged for more than a month, was even more excited than the Qin Wang army below who was rushing to camp. The captain, who had just been stunned, opened his mouth wide and shouted excitedly towards his general: "Prince Wang, you are here!" Let’s open the door and join the Chu army to kill Jin Lu!”

Seeing that there was chaos in the Jinxia military camp three miles outside the city, the king general couldn't help but look at Ding Peng, the superior in charge of guarding the southern city.

Before Ding Peng could speak, Du Zhaoqing, the Minister of Rites who was supervising the army, said hurriedly: "No! A fierce battle is going on in the north city at the moment. We must be on guard! The bandit camp in the south of the city has been destroyed. You just need to do your job well to prevent the enemy from having an opportunity." Take advantage of it!”

Ding Peng came from the Huai Suppressing Army and was a direct descendant of Huaibei with Zheng Miaohong roots. It is said that Du Zhaoqing's words would have limited influence on him.

But since the day when Tokyo was besieged, Mr. Cai Yuancai had solemnly told Ding Peng that he must respect Du Shangshu and not be unruly in front of him.

Ding Peng doesn't have to listen to what others say, but Lao Cai is a big boss in Huaibei and the father-in-law of the King of Chu, so his words still carry a lot of weight in the ears of these proud soldiers.

Furthermore, after the Battle of Tokyo began, the thirteen city gates were filled with stones to prevent enemy soldiers from hitting the gates.

If you want to leave the city, it will take a while to clear the stones.

Ding Peng then completely gave up his plan to go out of the city to help in the battle.

Since Du Zhaoqing had a heart-to-heart talk with the King of Chu in Hebei in the first year of Xuanqing, he had already completely turned to the latter.

During this period, Tokyo was under siege. Naturally, like all the officials who defected to the Huaibei clique, he was under great pressure to serve the public. If Tokyo was destroyed, hundreds of thousands of people in Tokyo, and even the people of the entire Central Plains, would suffer another catastrophe.

For selfish reasons, others may still have a chance to survive, but an official like him who has been branded as the King of Chu will be slaughtered and purged by Jinxia.

The history books will be written by the winner, and he, Fan Gongzhi, Zhang Chunxiao and others will inevitably be recorded as lackeys of powerful ministers.

Fortunately, in the battle in the south of the city, although the main force of Jinxia could not be eliminated, it finally opened a huge crack in the tight encirclement of Jinxia army.

Subconsciously, Du Zhaoqing's eyes turned from the battlefield to the Chinese army, but the King of Chu's banner was missing.
While he was doubting, he saw a messenger running towards him with a look of horror on his face. When he saw Du Zhaoqing, he panicked and said, "Master Du, Mr. Lu who is guarding the east city sent his subordinates down to ask, 'What's going on in the south of the city?'"

When Du Zhaoqing heard this, he couldn't help but slap his forehead and said in annoyance: "You all blame me! In the excitement, I forgot to inform all the adults. Please report back quickly. The King of Chu destroyed the Jinxia camp three miles south of the city! There is no statistics on the beheadings and captures. In short, The siege in the south of the city has been resolved! Don’t worry, Mr. Lu!”

After that, Du Zhaoqing hurriedly said to Ding Peng: "Commander Ding, quickly send people to Xicheng and Beicheng to inform you all of the news, so as to prevent the soldiers and civilians in the city from not knowing the details and panic!"

Tokyo Imperial City, Fuyuan Hall.

At noon, thunder-like roars from the north of the city were clearly transmitted into the palace.

The shaking window lattice rustled.

When Jia Rou first heard the noise, she was so frightened that she ran back to the back hall immediately. She hugged Mian'er and ran out. She even lost her shoes on the way and didn't realize it.

When I ran outside the main hall door, I could see the more than ten feet of smoke column rising from the north of the city.

Jiarou was horrified, thinking that the Nancheng wall had been broken by Jin Xia's army. In panic, Jiarou stuffed Mian'er into Zhuan Yun's arms and choked up when she spoke, "Zhuan Yun, take Mian'er to change into old clothes. I will definitely Find a way to take her out of Tokyo, send her to Huaibei, and hand her over to the princess!"

Zhuan Yun had never experienced such a situation before, so he was so frightened that he started to cry and said: "I will take your highness with you. Let's go together."

Jia Rou shook her head firmly, "Jin Lu has entered the city. If he can't find me, he won't give up! I stay so you can escape! Leave quickly!"

"Mom, don't you want Mian'er anymore?"

Mian'er didn't know what happened and just cried loudly.

Her daughter's tears finally made Jia Rou cry, but she saw her taking Mian'er from Zhuan Yun's arms, frantically kissing the little girl's tender face a few times, and then there were still tears on her face. , suddenly became serious, "Mian'er, be obedient! You must also listen to the princess when you arrive in Huaibei, and don't get angry with your sisters and brothers. Even if someone bullies you in the future."

At this point, Jiarou broke her guard again and burst into tears, but she still took the time to tell her, "Even if someone bullies you, don't fight back. Just be patient and you will grow up soon."

After all, Jiarou herself cried harder than Mian'er, and even imagined for a moment Mian'er's pitiful appearance after losing his mother's protection and being bullied everywhere.

When she cried, Zhuan Yun, Kuo Yun and others also cried together.

The next moment, there were several shouts, curses, fights, and even two screams coming from the front yard of the palace.

Jiarou's beauty suddenly turned pale. How could the golden man be so fast?
Just after breaking through Nancheng, he entered the harem?

Immediately afterwards, several figures hurriedly walked into the front hall.

The leader was surprisingly Huang Doudou, who had been arranged by the King of Chu to enter the palace.

Huang Doudou, who used to have pale skin and cold body, was now holding a bloody knife and his clothes were stained with blood. Behind him were several muscular eunuchs, each holding a sharp weapon.

Extreme fear made Jiarou uncontrollably tremble, but she still shifted her body and stood in front of Zhuan Yun who was holding Mian'er, and said sternly: "Eunuch Huang, what do you want to do!"

This voice of suppressed panic brought Huang Doudou, who was in an extremely excited state, back to his senses instantly.

Huang Doudou looked at the knife in his hand, then looked at the blood on his body, and immediately realized that he had scared His Highness.

With a 'clang' sound, Huang Doudou immediately abandoned the knife in his hand and hurriedly knelt down.

Several people behind him quickly knelt down, and then Huang Doudou said: "I frightened His Highness, and our family deserves death! I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Seeing this, Jiarou naturally saw that Huang Doudou was not trying to capture her and hand her over to the golden man, and she thought for a moment, "What happened!"

"Your Highness! Something happened in the south of the city. Mo Xianzhong, the chamberlain, had food with him and wrapped up the palace belongings, and wanted to escape from the palace! After Mo Xianzhong was stopped by the minister, he actually persuaded the minister to follow him and pay the gold! In extraordinary times, extraordinary methods are used. I then took Mo Xianzhong and killed him on the spot because I came here just to report this matter."

Huang Doudou explained, but Jiarou frowned and said in confusion: "Then Mo Xianzhong, isn't he your son?"

"Your Highness, let alone your lord, you are your biological son. If you dare to rebel against the King of Chu or His Highness, I will kill you without mercy!"

At this point, Jia Rou probably believed Huang Doudou's words, but she still asked, "The situation in the south of the city is unclear now. Has Eunuch Huang really never thought about investing money like that Mo Xianzhong?"

Huang Doudou, who had been bending down on the ground, slowly straightened up, and even smiled at Mian'er in Zhuan Yun's arms, and then said: "Your Highness, although the Zajia family is an eunuch without eggs, he also knows how to appreciate his kindness. The principle of picture reporting! Before the King of Chu left, he only told his ministers one thing, and that was to protect the safety of His Highness, mother and daughter. Outside the imperial city, there were guards led by Commander Liu. Inside the imperial city, if anyone wanted to touch His Highness, Hair, you need to step over my corpse!"

Huang Doudou was kneeling on the ground, but his upper body was straight and upright. His thin figure, under the sunlight at noon, actually gave him a hint of majesty.

After a long time, Jiarou sighed quietly, "King Chu, you saw the right person."

At this time, something seemed to have happened to the imperial army in the outer city that was responsible for guarding the imperial city. Waves of noises were vaguely transmitted into Fuyuan Hall.

If it is said that the Forbidden Army in the south of the city attacked the Imperial City and fought with the Forbidden Army, they did not listen to the sound of fighting.

Out of nowhere, another little Huangmen stumbled in.

Without waiting for his breath to catch his breath, or even bothering to salute Jiarou, he opened his mouth and howled in a sharp voice: "The defenders in the south of the city sent a message, please don't panic, Your Highness. The commotion in the south of the city was caused by the King of Chu's great victory over the enemy's camp! Now he has been beheaded and captured. I don’t know yet, but the siege in the south of the city has been lifted for the time being!”

"."

After being shocked and worried, she was overjoyed. It was a cold early winter, and Jiarou felt a thin layer of sweat break out on her body. The next breath, her hair stood on end.

Seeing that Jia Rou was swaying slightly, Kou Yun hurriedly stepped forward to help her and ordered someone to bring a chair. Jia Rou sat in the chair for more than ten breaths before she gradually recovered.

"Mother, mother, don't send Mian'er away, Mian and mother stay together." Mian'er, who still had tears in her big eyes, stretched out her arms and wanted to go to her mother's arms.

At this time, there were many people in Fuyuan Hall, but Jiarou changed her usual caution and picked up her daughter with open arms. She held her daughter in her arms and choked out: "I won't send you away, I won't send you away. Your father is outside the city. Where can we go?" Don’t go either!”

After coaxing my daughter, the outside of Fuyuan Hall gradually became quiet, and one could clearly hear the increasingly loud noises in the city, as well as the rumble of war drums in Beicheng that had not stopped since morning.

Jia Rou held her daughter and sat there for a while. When she calmed down, she took out her handkerchief and wiped Mian'er's face. Then she stood up and handed her daughter to Zhuan Yun.

Mian'er had just almost experienced a separation, and she didn't want to leave her mother's arms, but Jia Rou said softly: "Mian'er is good, I'm playing with Zhuan Yun in the palace, and mother has to do something."

"What are you going to do, mother?"

Mian'er was reluctant to give up, pulling on Jiarou's sleeves and asking with a milky voice.

Jiarou's red and phoenix eyes were still bloodshot after crying, but a smile appeared on her beautiful face, "Daddy will protect you in the south of the city, and mother will go to the north of the city."

Mian'er didn't understand what the south of the city and the north meant, but Huang Doudou was startled when he heard it and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, no! Now the main force of Jinxia is attacking the north city with all its strength. There are constant arrows on the city, so don't take risks!"

Jia Rou, who was arranging her clothes, said in an unquestionable tone: "Tens of thousands of soldiers can go, why can't I go?"

Early noon.

In Qiaolou, Beicheng, Jiang Huaixiong, the commander-in-chief of the Xiang Army of the Ten Towns, Liu Baishun, the commander of the Forbidden Army, Fan Gongzhi, and Cai Yuan are all here.

The noise in the south of the city just now was naturally noticed by several people.

Compared with Fan Gongzhi, Cai, Jiang, and Liu who came from Huaibei were not so frightened. Although the sound in the south of the city was not a thunder cannon, the three of them were familiar with the Gunpowder Bureau and Iron Smelting Works where the King of Chu invested a lot of money, and they always liked to create Some strange things.

However, despite the unknown situation, Liu Baishun, who was responsible for the imperial city guard, walked out of Qiao Tower and prepared to go to the imperial city to investigate.

On the Beicheng side, although the offensive and defensive battles were fierce, the crisis had not yet arrived.

After all, the city of Tokyo is four to five feet high, with ditches around the city, barbicans, watchtowers, and horse faces. There are enough arrows, feathers, and rolling wood. In one morning, the Jinxia army braved the rain of arrows on the city, but only one section was filled. The trench is more than ten feet wide.

If this continues, the Jin Xia Army will never be able to reach the top of the city without leaving tens of thousands of lives behind.

Under such circumstances, although there are occasional stray arrows flying to the top of the city, the North City is generally relatively stable.

Fan Gongzhi and Cai Yuan even had a leisurely and elegant time drinking tea in Qiao Tower.

However, people who have no immediate worries must have long-term worries. Fan Gongzhi talked about what he was worried about, "Cai Gong, there is a King of Chu outside the city who is in charge of the various armies of King Qin. Even if the Jin Xia army is attacking the city, it also needs to defend the rear. In addition, the high trenches of Tokyo City "Shen, there shouldn't be much we can do about Tokyo in the short term. But I'm worried about the Yellow River!"

"Is Mr. Fan worried about Jin Xia's army digging into the river and flooding the city?"

Cai Yuan answered.

There is a gap of up to two feet between the ground in Tokyo and the waterline of the Yellow River. Fan Gong knew what he was thinking, and it was not something he was bothered by.

But the most important thing about the Jinxia Army is their mobility. If they dig a dike and flood Tokyo, their cavalry army will also be unable to move in thousands of miles of mud.

Wanyan Mouyan may not have thought of this move, but he didn't do it because he was probably worried about the side effects.

Fan Gongzhi nodded with a tired look, but Jiang Huaixiong next to him said: "Now that the Yellow River is frozen, it is the dry season. Even digging the river can't cause much damage, right?"

Jiang Huaixiong was right, and Fan Gongzhi added: "What if they wait until the peach blossom season in spring to dig the river?"

"The Peach Blossom Flood will last until March and April. They can't survive it with just the little food and grass in Luoyang!"

Jiang Huaixiong was extremely confident, but Lao Cai was more confident than him, "Even if Luoyang's grain and grass are enough to last them until the Peach Blossom Flood, Yuan Zhang can't wait that long! Since Yuan Zhang is here, he must have a way to defeat the enemy!"

"."

Fan Gongzhi couldn't accept this, otherwise he would be suspicious of the King of Chu. However, Fan Gongzhi was particularly surprised. How could all these people from Huaibei trust the King of Chu so much!
It's almost to the point of being worshiped as a god, and even the rigorous Lao Cai is not immune.

In the silence, Liu Baishun, who had just left, was seen hurriedly entering again. Several people were sweating when they saw him running away, and they couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong? Have you heard about what happened in the south of the city?"

Liu Baishun picked up Fan Gongzhi's tea on the table, drank it all, and then said with a smile: "It's us! It was the prince who made this big noise. Someone from the south of the city reported that King Chu had broken the enemy camp in the south of the city!"

"Okay! It's better to shorten one of his ten fingers than to hurt him!" Jiang Huaixiong said excitedly.

But Lao Cai had a calm look on his face and said, "I knew it would be like this" and calmly stroked his beard.

Fan Gongzhi almost jumped up with excitement. Seeing how elegant Lao Cai was, he suppressed the words "Happy!" ' Swallowed it back, picked up the tea cup with trembling hands, and tried to cover it up by drinking tea.

So that I can look like Lao Cai, not surprised by changes!

Unexpectedly, the three people present all looked over with strange looks. Fan Gongzhi continued his performance and took a sip of tea, but he could not taste the tea at all because of the joy and joy that was rushing around in his chest.

It was only then that Jiang Huaixiong laughed and said, "Xiang Fan, how much can you drink from an empty cup?"

"."

After a moment of embarrassment, Fan Gongzhi became more relaxed and relaxed. Then he put the empty cup on the table and laughed, "We also want to imitate Cai Gong's magnanimity, but we are timid! Hahaha. Happy, happy. ! You shouldn’t drink tea, you should be embarrassed by the king of Chu!”

As soon as Fan Gongzhi finished speaking, he heard a burst of excitement outside. Several people thought it was the news of victory in the battle in the south of the city, and they couldn't help but look at each other and smile.

But then, a soldier broke in from outside the door. Without waiting to ask, he said: "Master Prime Minister, Cai Shangshu, Your Highness is here!"

"Your Highness is here? Where are you?" Fan Gongzhi was slightly confused.

The soldier said again: "Here comes Beicheng! We are ascending the city!"

"."

Several people were startled at the same time and rushed out to greet him.

But they saw Jia Rou, wearing a phoenix crown and palace clothes that would only be worn during important ceremonies, slowly walking up the horse road from the city.

Liu Baishun quickly ordered people to guard Jiarou with shields to prevent stray arrows from flying in.

At the end of the horse path, several soldiers who had just been replaced were resting here. Suddenly, they saw an elegant lady approaching, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

It wasn't until someone next to them exclaimed "Your Highness" that a few people realized what they were doing and hurriedly got up to salute.

Jiarou asked in vain, but said: "You soldiers have worked hard, and I, on behalf of the 600,000 people in the city, come to see you."

Two quarters past noon.

Six miles away from the north city, at the main tent of the Jinxia Army, Wanyan Mouyan had just received the news that the camp in the south of the city had been breached, and couldn't help but be shocked.

With more than 10,000 people, even if they can't stay for three or two days, they should be fine for one morning!

Was it defeated by the Qi army in just a quarter of an hour?
Even if there are more than 10,000 pigs, the Qi army cannot catch them all in a quarter of an hour!
Wanyan Mouyan sent a thousand iron kites to stabilize the camp in the east of the city, and sent scouts to the south of the city to confirm the authenticity of the news.

But before he could digest the matter, he heard a huge buzz at the top of Tokyo's North City.

Wanyan Mouyan hurriedly went out of his tent to check. The buzzing sound was made by the defenders at the top of the city. It was so messy at first that he couldn't hear what they were shouting.

But after just a few breaths, the shouts gradually converged into one voice, "Great Qi will be victorious, Your Highness will live a thousand years! Great Qi will be victorious, Your Highness will be a thousand years old!"

Even though they were several miles away, the roar of tens of thousands of Qi troops spread throughout the country, making people's scalps numb.

The mighty and heavy city, the voice of all people.
Magnificent and surging!
This scene not only shocked the soldiers of Jinxia, ​​but also Wanyan Mouyan's original idea that "Dajin is invincible" was shaken.

For the first time, he even had the idea that the Qi State was invincible and the Han family was invincible. (End of this chapter)
