Chapter 295: Sacrifice Army
Zhu Xianxuan led nearly 100 families to rush up to the city, but was stopped by the officers and soldiers guarding the city: "The prince can go up, but the family must stay under the city, and they must be 50 meters away."
In normal times, with Zhu Xianxuan's status and temper, he had to do things, but at this time, he didn't dare, and he didn't have that mood.
Hurriedly climbed up to the Great South Gate of Changyu, but was told that he was in Xicheng!
The soldiers in the city were busy carrying war supplies, busy and crowded, and Zhu Xianxuan squeezed for a while with great effort, already sweating profusely.
To be exact, Chang Yu is not in Xicheng, but in the southwest corner tower, on the second floor and Zhou Yuji, Ying Shisheng and others are looking far away from the railing.
"Huhuhu, have the thieves retreated? Will it come again? Zhu Xianxuan gasped and climbed upstairs and looked at Chang Yu with a straight glare.
"You're here, can he not come, you are the meat of his dreams!" Chang Yu quipped.
Zhu Xianxuan couldn't help but shudder, "This king thought that he was going to fight until dawn, but he didn't expect it to end so soon."
Heh, ......, Zhou Yuji and Ying Shisheng couldn't help but look sideways when they heard this
Chang Yu was not as polite as the two of them, and rolled his eyes: "If you wait until dawn, it is estimated that you will hit the Jin Palace."
Zhu Xianxuan was slightly embarrassed: "Outside, why are those soldiers outside transporting so many water cities?" ”
When he went upstairs, he found a large number of officers and soldiers breaking the ice and taking water from the Nanhaizi in the southwest corner of the city.
"Decorate it!" Chang Yu smiled faintly.
Fitment? Zhu Xianxuan couldn't react for a while.
"Report to the lord, Governor Wang, Governor Cai led a large number of people to come" There are Jinyi guards to report.
Chang Yu nodded slightly, and said in response: "The general soldier should go and hand it over."
Ying Shisheng turned around and went downstairs.
Chang Yu pulled Zhu Xianxuan and said, "You're early."
"What do you mean, why are you talking in a fog today, and you can't understand a word" Zhu Xianxuan was a little impatient.
"Okay, then let's make it clear, at this time, everyone is busy, the soldiers are busy rotating and replenishing combat preparations, and the civil and military generals are also busy doing their jobs, what is the prince doing at this time? Reward the army, it's not time, nag, everyone has no idle time! Chang Yu said lightly, Zhou Yuji turned his head to look out of the city, and forced a smile.
"You, do you mean that this king is useless, he can't help anything, and he adds to the chaos?" Zhu Xianxuan looked angry.
"You can't say that, you are Taiyuan's business card, the soul of Taiyuan, as long as you show your face, the soldiers in the city are screaming like chicken blood, but the time is not right at this time, who can see you in this black light!" Chang Yu hurriedly reassured.
When Zhu Xianxuan heard this, his face gradually eased and his face became arrogant, "Hmph! Count you fast round! ”
"This is not a circle, to be honest, you hurry back to the house to rest, get up early tomorrow, boil pot porridge and take the king to the city to sacrifice the army, it is best to give something more affordable, such as gold, silver and jewelry."
Zhu Xianxuan, whose face was still happy just now, instantly burst out again: "Gold, silver and jewelry? The palace hasn't been pit by you yet, where is the silver......"
"Then draw a cake and find someone else to pay the bill" Chang Yu's eyes rolled
"Find someone else, who are you looking for...... Oh, the ...... of King Shen's Mansion" Zhu's interrogation eyes lit up.
Chang Yu almost punched him over, Lao Tzu just finished knocking on a stroke, and his father just died, do you want to force Zhu Huihong to death!
Zhu Xianxuan's face turned red, and he thought about it: "Then, who else are you looking for, the gentry in the city have been circled."
"After a circle, there is no light, these wealthy gentlemen's great business is not a dime, and even the fur of others is not harmed!" Chang Yu was furious.
That's right, it's a good opportunity at this time, Zhu Xianxuan immediately realized the true meaning of wool: "This king left first, there is something urgent to do!" ”
After saying that, he turned around and went downstairs.
"Waiting for your good news," Chang Yu did not forget to advise.
"Lord Jin is a good knife" Seeing Zhu Xianxuan leave, Zhou Yuji turned around and chuckled.
Chang Yu smiled: "Then it depends on who will use this knife."
"Also, the prince of Jin is smart and may be injured if he is used as a knife by others, but the factory governor and his temperament are right, and it seems that the cooperation is very pleasant!"
"That's quite pleasant," Chang Yu smiled, but secretly scolded Zhou Yuji's old fritters in his heart.
The sky is slightly bright, and the red sun in the east has not yet surfaced, in fact, it is the coldest time of the day, not enough at this time, many people have poured out of the streets and alleys of the city.
Last night, a fierce battle was so loud that the people in the city were so frightened that they stayed awake all night, and as soon as the curfew passed, they went out of their homes to gossip about the news.
The drum tower and bell tower have always been the most crowded places where the crowd gathers, but at this time, the official announcement has not yet been posted, and these people have to ask the patrol officers and soldiers for information, and all they hear is one sentence: the thief army has been frustrated in the siege and retreated.
Where's the retreat? Gone?
I know where to retreat......
Compared with the gossip that ordinary people can only catch the wind and shadows, the news channels of those gentry in the city are more and reliable.
For example, they will go to the palace to inquire about the news, after all, the king of Jin is not in the curfew, and he has the right to enter the city at any time.
But today is very special, early in the morning when they have not yet gone out, there are royal family members invited one by one, the prince called them to hold a ventilation meeting, by the way to be a public opinion representative to the city to sacrifice the army.
This little prince can do things, he has picked up a lot of wool before, and now he will take the initiative to send news as soon as something happens, this silver is not in vain. And being able to be a representative of public opinion is also a very face-saving thing to go to the city to reward the army, and besides, it doesn't cost money to reward the army, and it is just a few words of encouragement and gratitude to serve a bowl of porridge and send warmth.
The sky was bright, the long-awaited red sun had not appeared, the gray sky was not even visible in the outline of the sun, and it was cloudy today.
Several porridge trucks drove out of the south gate of the palace, followed by half a hundred people, attracting the people on the street to stop and watch and discuss: the prince of Jin, the queen and the chief of the palace, and the gentry in the city went to the city to treat the army......
Straight down the small south gate street to the Cheng'en Gate, the outside of the forbidden area near the city gate has been crowded, hundreds of people stopped here to watch and discuss the city, the officers and soldiers on duty loudly scolded and pushed the people back.
"Lord, you either go up through the door, or just wait for a while" Under the city gate, Zhu Xianxuan looked at the large number of people coming down from the city with a stunned face, these people looked tired, and some were soaking wet and shivering.
It turned out that it was just in time for the requisitioned people to take turns to go down to the city, and the passage to the upper city was crowded at this time.
"Are there so many people at the Great South Gate? Do you know where the factory governor and Mr. Zhou are? Zhu Xianxuan frowned and asked the guards under the city.
"Back to the prince, I really don't know where the two adults are, but there should be a lot of people going down to the city on the south side of the big south gate......"
After a stick of incense, Zhu Xianxuan finally led the team to the city, and he was dumbfounded before he could stand firmly.
The city was a sloppy mess, with rolling stones and trees piled up like hills, the marks of last night's battle, and the scarred soldiers, staggering and leaning in the corners, snoozing and tired faces.
"The soldiers have worked hard, get up and drink a bowl of hot porridge" Zhu Xianxuan's heart was sour, he opened his mouth and shouted, and the gentry behind him also automatically opened their mouths, even the queen also personally held a spoon and began to cook, and there was a commotion in the city for a while.
As Chang Yu said, King Jin is a signboard, and when he appeared, sure enough, those soldiers who were originally exhausted immediately came to their senses and got up one after another and surrounded him.
"Drink more, drink more slowly...... "Zhu Xianxuan was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and everyone's faces were full ......of joy, after all, there are not many opportunities to get in touch with a prince so closely.
finally found out that Chang Yu was very likely to be at the Great South Gate, so Zhu Xianxuan asked the family to drive the porridge cart in the direction of the Great South Gate, while taking porridge from time to time to comfort the soldiers.
The king of Jin came, pulled more than a dozen carts of hot porridge and cakes and was going to the city to treat the army. When they heard the news, Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji, Ying Shisheng, Wang Jimo, Cai Maode and other civil and military people drank sheep soup in the city tower, and everyone was tired, their eyes were red, and they didn't sleep all night.
The hole in the tower that had been hit by the bandits' shells had been repaired, but the arrows stuck in the walls and windows of the second floor still spoke of the fierceness of the siege last night.
Chang Yu drank mutton soup for three nights in a row, the cold on his body suddenly disappeared, he got up and stretched his waist to the third floor, walked to the window and looked at the east side, and saw that not far from the city wall, it was very lively, more than a dozen porridge cars were surrounded by water, and after a careful look, Zhu Xianxuan was in a car on the westernmost side.
"Hey, why are there so many women?" Fang San is Chang Yu's tail, wherever he goes, his eyes are sharp, and he stretches out his hand as he speaks.
