Chapter 122: Zhan Yuan Prefecture (7)

The siege battle was carried out for three consecutive days, attacking one after another, attacking day and night, and the Jurchens who opened their mouths and were ready to swallow the small city of Wonju in one gulp, but they hit their heads and broke their front teeth. The loss of military commanders at all levels amounted to as many as 100 people, including the eldest son and living daughter of the Duwan Yan Lou room, nearly 10,000 casualties among ordinary soldiers, the vanguard army was beaten and half disabled, and the blood flowed like a river under the city of Yuanzhou, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain.

I don't know what the Jurchens are afraid of began to retreat, and some people continue to retreat in defeat, and Wanyan Lou has beheaded several generals, but it is still difficult to reverse the decline, he knows that the heart of the Lu Dao army has been dispersed, and the soldiers have been tired of fighting, so they can only temporarily stop and recuperate, and at the same time shout to the city, persuading them to surrender the city, otherwise the chickens and dogs will not stay.

It is said that the words of this defeated man are still so crazy that they should be heard as a joke, but people are so strange, and something terrible has happened. Some of the eunuchs and clan elders in the city were frightened by the tragic battle, and actually ran to the city lord's mansion to cry to the old city lord Xiao Qin, asking the five girls to stop fighting, and tied up the Texas military lord to surrender to Kaicheng in order to save the lives of the people in the city!

Zhao Xin, who was arranging the city defense and preparing for another battle, received the news and frowned, isn't this adding to the chaos? She hurried back to the City Lord's Mansion, and before she entered the council hall, she heard her eldest brother giving an impassioned speech, asking her father to go back to the mountain to take charge of Yuanzhou and reconsider the relationship with the Jurchens.

"Who wants to open the city?" Zhao Xin stepped into the hall door, coughed lightly and asked coldly, her voice fell. The hall that had been bustling just now immediately fell silent, and the guys who were reasoning with the facts immediately fell silent as if the power had suddenly gone out. Fu'er sat back and drank boiled water, as if it was someone else arguing just now. It's like it has nothing to do with me.

"Dare to do it, it's not like the Khitan men on our grassland!" Zhao Xin sat on the first place, glanced at everyone and said with a little contempt, she is now in the smoke of gunpowder, the blood stains on her battle clothes have not dried, and she is full of murderous atmosphere, those people are cowardly people, otherwise they would not have said the words of Kaecheng surrender, how dare they look directly at Zhao Xin's eyes. They all bowed their heads and were silent, silently reciting the "Diamond Sutra", thinking that they had overtaken her in their hearts.

"Fifth sister, you colluded with outsiders and coerced your father to give way, causing the Jurchens to invade on a large scale and trapping the people of the whole city in fire and water, everyone is just asking for the people's lives, aren't you allowed everyone to speak!" Xiao Chongjie saw that everyone pretended to be innocent. Got up and said.

"Big brother's words don't make sense, right? It was you who coveted wealth and made friends with Xijing, and set up a puppet emperor without permission, how could you still accuse the fifth sister of colluding with outsiders; Besides, it seems that coercing your father is also you, and when you first returned home, it was the fifth sister who gave up the position to you. It was you who were not greedy enough to force your father to make you the lord of the city again, right? Or are you vainly claiming to be the king of Yuanzhou County and the southwest to recruit envoys. Desperately recruiting troops, shouting to regain the lost territory and welcome the new king back to Beijing. The Jurchens attracted by the tree's great wind, I'm afraid everyone here knows this! Xiao Chongjian, who had never spoken, said-for-tat.

"The first emperor is missing. The country cannot be left without an owner for a day, and we welcome the new emperor to conform to the will of the people and act on behalf of the sky; The fifth sister is a woman, how can she be in charge of the military for a long time, and I am the eldest son in the family, and my father let Xian and me, which is justified; The Texas army has repeatedly fought with the Jurchens, otherwise why did the Texas army start to attack the city after entering the city, and the main culprit of the Texas reinforcements will be extremely respectful to the five sisters, obviously they have the old, otherwise I have repeatedly sent envoys to Texas to discuss state affairs, and they are all closed? Xiao Chongjie said unhurriedly, as if he was very open in his heart, and put on an appearance of serving the country wholeheartedly.

"The first emperor is missing, so where is the new emperor? The new emperor said beautifully, but it's just a gorgeous excuse, what you want to do is really unknown to others! Xiao Chongjian said, "It is true that the Dezhou army and the Jurchen have repeatedly fought evil, but people can rely on the power of one state to fight Yan Xian and flee in the wilderness, otherwise you still want to set up a new king, Western Kyoto is the world of the Jurchens, and with those of you who claim to be kings, what qualifications do you have to talk about state affairs with Dezhou, it is really a big joke." ”

"Okay, you have the support of the Texas Army, just make a lot of nonsense, wait..."Xiao Chongjie pointed to his younger brother and sister with some anger and said.

"Haluha, when we're gone, you'll regain power and clean them up, right?" Just as Xiao Chongjie was furious, a group of people walked into the conference hall, Zhuge Hong looked at him and said with a smile, "Since you don't welcome our Texas Army, let's just go, if it weren't for the old friendship between the commander and our boss, the ghost would be willing to come!" ”

"I'm afraid that you won't be able to get out!" Looking at the Texas soldiers standing outside the door, Xiao Chongjie swallowed his saliva and said without losing the battle.

"Cut, is it really true that your Yuanzhou is the tiger's den in Longtan, since Lao Tzu has come in, he will naturally go out, don't bother you!" Zhuge Hong snorted and said with a smile, "However, please also ask Xiao Zhaozhi to settle our account, you have used a lot of the things we brought in, you don't care about the money, whether you give money or return the goods, we will leave immediately after settling the account!" ”

"I... I'm not the lord of the city, and I don't eat alone, and I can't find me alone, you have to go to them! Xiao Chongjie said evasively, he knows the price of grain in Yuanzhou City now, in the past, even when there was a shortage of soldiers, it was only seven or eight times, and after the Jurchens besieged the city, no one was willing to sell it when they came out to two hundred, Xiao Chongjie had the heart to dig it, who knew what price they wanted, so they simply hid.

"Since you're not the city lord, what are you chirping here, where is it cool and squatting!" Zhuge Hong immediately turned his face, pointed at Xiao Chongjie's nose and said, "He won't give it, what about you?" He turned to the elders and gentry and asked again.

A few people looked at Xiao Chongjie, but he turned his back and looked at the old city lord, he sighed, they looked at each other again and bowed their heads and kept silent, but they all secretly scolded Xiao Chongjie in their hearts, damn your kid fooled us all here, saying that as long as he can get back to power, he will give them more food, but I didn't expect to pretend to be a grandson at this critical moment, no, he is a grandson!

"Okay, since no one wants it, Lao Tzu will burn it and break through, and if you eat it, you can feed it to the dogs!" Seeing that no one responded, Zhuge Hong finished speaking angrily, turned his head and left, the people in the hall were dumbfounded, the food burned everyone to drink the northwest wind, and focused his eyes on Zhao Xin again.

"Come back, don't mess around!" Zhao Xin, who had been listening to their quarrel, spoke.

"Commander, these people are ruthless and unjust, let's go with me, as long as my life is in order to ensure that the commander is complete!" Zhuge Hong looked back.

"Alas, at this time of life and death, my brothers came to save me at the cost of their lives, and I received this love. I won't stop you if you want to leave, but I hope you will keep all the food and I personally pay for it all. But I don't have that much money now, but I will definitely pay it back to the second master! Zhao Xin sighed and said.

"It's... Commanding you, why do you need this? Zhuge Hong sighed deeply, pondered for a moment and made a decision, "If the commander wants it, I won't take a penny, and my brothers and I will take it together!" ”

"No need, I owe the second master and my brothers too much, and I can't even affect the brothers anymore!" Zhao Xin smiled bitterly and shook his head, his heart was full of bitterness, his own brother was forced to do so, but it was the 'outsiders' who repeatedly sacrificed their lives and forgot to help each other.

"Although our Wonju is small, it is related to the fortunes of the country, and if Wonju is lost, not only will we all become slaves of the Jurchens, but our descendants will also be slaves for generations. At this time, if the gold is reduced, although you can save your life, what is the fun of it! She said to everyone in the hall, hoping to get everyone's support.

"Xin'er, let me say something!" Xiao Qin, the old city lord who has been a mud bodhisattva for a long time, spoke, "I have ruled Yuanzhou for many years for my father, and I haven't done anything for the people, but now my father can't hold a knife or gun, so I will bear the needs with you, and I can do something for the clansmen and the people!" As soon as Xiao Qin's voice fell, everyone was shocked again, which showed the attitude of the old city lord, and he stood on his daughter's side.

"I am also willing to go to this difficulty with my fifth sister!" Xiao Chongjian stood up and said.

"The affairs of Yuanzhou are also the affairs of our clan, and we also fully support the five girls to protect Yuanzhou together!" The elders of the clan looked at each other and made a choice.

"The city lord is righteous, we are also willing to contribute to Yuanzhou and jointly resist the Jurchens!" The gentry in the city also knew which end was hot, and their buttocks immediately moved over. Only Xiao Chongjie's face was as dead as ashes, he knew that his sister had won the support of the clansmen and gentry and had become a veritable city lord, and his attempt to restore the throne had failed, and he had been abandoned by everyone.

Zhao Xin and Zhuge Hong looked at each other and smiled, which means that only they know the truth, the best performance in this kind of double reed game in the palace is the prince and the happy man, they are often a red face, a white face, a singing and a harmonious seamless, making it difficult to distinguish the true from the false. And these people around them have also learned a little bit under the ears and witnesses, although their acting skills need to be improved, but it is enough to fool these uninformed people, and today they finally got rid of the crisis again and brought people's hearts together.

Although the civil strife has subsided, it is still facing another crisis, and the fierce fighting for several days has consumed a lot of weapons, especially the 100,000 arrows in the city have been exhausted, and the firearms of the Texas army are all relied on to support the situation. And both of them understand that the bullet is one less than one, and it can't be replenished at all, but they don't know when they will wait for the siege, and they don't know how many vicious battles they have to fight, and it is urgent to solve the problem of weapons!

Wanyan Lou's room is also very annoying, not only because of the death of his son, but because these people in the city are too disagreeable, you just shrink in the city, what are you doing when you go out at night... (To be continued.) )
