Yan Saburo said curiously: "Who?"

"Han Zhao sent someone to get an old palace maid from Tianyao Palace. He Xiaoyuan pursed her lips, "Let me help her change her face so that she can sneak out of the city." ”

It seemed that Han Zhao's arrangement was very thorough, Yan Saburo didn't continue to ask questions, turned around and left.

......

Yan Saburo's judgment was correct, and half an hour after the birds dispersed, the government took out an announcement to calm the people, clarifying that the news of King Yu's survival was all rumors, and some people tried in vain to confuse the people with evil arts.

In order to consolidate the city's defense, in order to unite to resist the Zhenbei Hou, it must not admit this.

Before the announcements, Shengyi residents gathered and discussed, and the situation became more and more serious. Someone has already questioned the officers and soldiers on the spot: Where is the Marquis of Zhenbei?

Of course, they did not get a reply.

Yan Saburo also observed an interesting phenomenon: the Marquis of Zhenbei clearly rebelled, but the civilians did not call him a thief like they called the Brown Army, and did not even say that he was a traitor, but only said that he "raised trouble" and "raised troops".

In addition to the fact that the Marquis of Zhenbei has gained enough favorability among the people over the years and has accumulated sufficient prestige, his banner of "respecting the rich and destroying evil" has also shaken the hearts of the people.

This incident is more explosive than the original Patriotic Invasion and the Brown Army Uprising, and it is also full of suspicions. After the people listened to it, the rumors instantly spread out more than a dozen versions, each more exciting than the other.

But a calm person immediately realizes a problem:

The Zhenbei Army is coming.

Shengyi, an ancient city that has been peaceful for a hundred years, will it encounter a baptism of war?

Panic.

Chitose and the others were watching a good show, and the three stewards of the Yao Mansion hurriedly entered the carriage and horse shop. In such a cold weather, the tip of his nose was actually beaded with sweat.

He mentioned the departure time to the first quarter of the hour (after three o'clock in the afternoon).

The shopkeeper was taken aback: "This is too early." ”

The third steward: "No car?"

"The car is enough. The shopkeeper glanced into the back hall, "But there are still half of the horses that have not been served." ”

"That's your business, and you have to transfer it to my family, and you must leave at the beginning of the day. The third steward threw him a money bag, and said loudly, "Keep your mouth tight, the contents of this deal must not be publicized!

"Ouch, you just don't have to worry about this!" the shopkeeper smiled as soon as he grabbed the money bag, "Since I don't want to attract attention, I think I'll send cars to pick up people at the back door of your house one after another." ”

As soon as the three pipes left, Yan Sanlang, who was sitting in the corner, stood up and stretched, and his bones rattled:

"It's gone. ”

In order to avoid suspicion among civilians, the Yao family's convoy was divided into four routes, and drove out of the three city gates in batches at different times. Fortunately, Shengyi, as the capital of the country, has people coming in and out all the time, and such twelve carriages driving out are not inconspicuous at all.

The Yao family met on the outskirts of the city and headed northwest.

￥￥￥￥￥

That night, the whole city of Shengyi was under martial law.

The market closed early, the army moved in, and a large number of laborers rushed between the warehouses and the city walls to transport supplies......

Even the most dull civilians realized that something was very wrong.

Sheng Yi spent the whole night in panic.

Many people barely took a nap, and the next morning found that there was already a large army outside the city!

The Zhenbei Army is coming.

Unlike the previous triumphant return and entry through the victory gate, this time Shengyi resolutely kept it out of the gate.

Thinking of the information dropped by the birds the day before, even a three- or five-year-old child understood that the Zhenbei Army was menacing.

This time, Han Zhao still chose the victory gate in the east.

He still plans to enter Shengyi from here, but the difference is that this time he wants to enter it!

The army was arrayed in front, and the gate of the victory gate was closed, and the outside was already fortified, leaving nothing to use for the Zhenbei army.

Zhenbei Hou rode his horse to the city, and only Shi Congyi gave him a flag behind him. He was not afraid of the arrows in the city, and raised his voice: "I am Han Zhao." As you know, King Wei has fled the capital, along with the magnates in the city!"

He was lucky to speak clearly, and the defenders at the city gate could hear it clearly.

Everyone was a little apprehensive when they saw the torrent of steel armor in Zhenbei Army. After all, this is the team of the Marquis of Zhenbei, who used to be outward, but now they want to kill each other. Fortunately, the high walls of Shengyi provide a sense of security.

But the god of war under the city gate told them that the king and the nobles had fled.

The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing whether it was true or not.

"He abandoned the hundred-year-old capital, abandoned the civilians, and abandoned you to defend it here, delaying his escape. Han Zhao's voice shook the wilderness, and even the civilians near the city gate could hear it, "My good sons and daughters who defend the country, do you really want to fight for the last drop of blood for the cruel and cowardly faint monarch, even if he abandons you?"

After saying this, a person appeared on the city gate, and sneered condescendingly: "Marquis of Zhenbei, your Han family has been an official in defending the country for generations, and the people treat you well, you dare to collude with the rebels to rebel, and you have the face to come here to stir up the hearts of the army!"

"It turned out to be Prime Minister Tu. Han Zhao hugged him on horseback, "Dare to ask me which sentence is wrong, is it that my king has not fled in the wilderness, or has my king not abandoned the army and people of Shengyi?"

"The king sits firmly in the Tianyao Palace and presides over the overall situation, how can he say that he is abandoned?" Tu Qingzhong laughed, "The strategy of the Marquis of Zhenbei is clumsy!"

Han Zhao raised his head: "Okay, then please come out and see the king." ”

"What qualifications do you have to meet the king?" Tu Qing said angrily, "A traitorous thief!"

"Surely someone among you and me has spoken falsehood. Han Zhao's voice was calm, "Why don't you let everyone see it......"

Before the last word "real" could be spoken, there was a "whoosh" sound, and a feather arrow shot two steps in front of Han Zhao, and the tail of the arrow trembled endlessly.

Tu Qingzhong was taken aback, turned his head and shouted: "Stop, stop!"

But it was a small soldier with a bow who was too nervous, his wrist stiffened, and he accidentally shot an arrow.

Han Zhao's horse didn't move, as if this episode didn't exist at all: "Trouble Prime Minister Tu Cheng to spread the voice on his behalf, Han Zhao asks the king to come out and see him!"

He paused for a moment and said categorically: "As long as the king ascends to the city wall, it will be easy to talk about the retreat!"

Tu Qingzhong's face changed slightly, but he immediately said: "I'll go now, Wangzhen Beihou will do what he says!"

"When will I go back on my word?" Han Zhao laughed and raised two fingers, "The national capital is too big, and it is inconvenient for the prime minister to go back and forth." Then I will give you two hours. ”

It was almost afternoon, and Tu Qingzhong's face was slightly relaxed.

"Two hours later, if there is no shadow of the king on this city wall-" Han Zhao's voice was cold, "Then don't blame me for sending troops to attack the city!"

It can drag on for a moment. Tu Qingzhong took a deep breath: "A word is a certainty!"

Han Zhao glanced at him and turned his head and ran back to the camp.
