"The East Palace Flower Banquet was assassinated, Prime Minister Yan's husband was seriously injured." Tang Zisheng frowned at the news from the imperial city. Mr. Shen was actually assassinated, whether it was intentional or someone else. I guessed that Prime Minister Yan is not now In the middle of the capital, it may be that the news of the Northwest City came quietly, but he didn't bring Mr. Shen with him.

"There is still too little news." Tang Zisheng muttered to himself. The speed of information dissemination is too slow now, and the distance between the imperial city and the northwest city is so far. All layout.

"Master Tang."

"Commander Jiang, is there anything important?" Thirty thousand soldiers harassed the foreign army. Shen Yiran, as the general of the three armies, took the lead, and Yang Manlou followed suit. Now the entire Northwest City has only the generals left behind by the original generals as commanders. .

And Tang Zisheng, a small county magistrate, was also drawn into the core of today's generals because of his relationship with the general.

Shen Yiran left, he was considered a half commander, and these generals would consult with him on any important matters.

"It's about the little general. The little general led his people away from the city for more than ten days, but no one came back. The scouts did not move at all to check for foreign soldiers. Should we send someone to look for the little general?"

Commander Jiang, a man in his 40s, usually deals with people in the army, but now when he meets a civil official like Tang Zisheng, he feels a little uncomfortable talking.

"According to the time, it has indeed been 14 days." Tang Zisheng's brows were full of worry, [-] against [-], this strategy is more like a guerrilla, and it will take longer than the previous quick battle. on many.

"The little general is the general's child, and we don't want anything to happen to the little general, so we have to leave this city."

Commander Jiang saw that Tang Zisheng didn't respond with a single word, and expressed his firmness all over the place.No matter whether Tang Zisheng agreed or not, he had to go out of the city. Originally, he should go out of the city to defend against the enemy, but the little general insisted on going.

The military order is like a mountain, and they have to listen even if they are worried, but now that the little general has no news, they can't hold back.

"What else did the scouts who went to inquire about find out?" Tang Zisheng naturally understood their desire to go out of the city to find Shen Yiran.

But now there are 1 fewer soldiers and horses in the city, and more than 5 horses can't move. Now there are only 5 people who can defend against the enemy.If there are fewer than [-] people, not to mention defending against the enemy, even the Northwest City will collapse on its own.

Although Commander Jiang was impatient, he still knew the consequences his decision would bring to the city. Now that Tang Zisheng didn't reject it, it showed that he had the same idea.

"No, the inquiring scouts didn't dare to get too close, but their camp has remained the same as before, and there is nothing strange about it."

"Where's the cooking smoke?"

"Cooking smoke?" Commander Jiang repeated these two words puzzled, "Master Tang wants to ask if there is any abnormality in the enemy's three meal times? According to the report of the scouts who came back, there is no such thing."

If there were any abnormalities in the cooking smoke, the scouts would not be able to detect it. They were also veterans on the battlefield.Although there have been no major wars in the past ten years, the Northwest City is a border gate, and it is common for foreigners to come and harass them from time to time.

"There is a bonfire at night in the camp, and there is also cooking smoke, and the night is not as dark as the day. If the cooking places are scattered around the bonfires, can you guarantee that the scouts will be able to distinguish them?"

Tang Zisheng took this as an entry point, but he just felt that it was impossible for Shen Yiran to lead troops out of the city and do nothing.

Even if he is caught by a foreign country, there must be some movement. Now that everything is quiet, and he heard that there is no movement in the foreign camp, Tang Zisheng can only think that the commander of the foreign country noticed Shen Yiran's intention to besiege and harass him, so he sent some people to change their schedules , and a large number of people stayed in the camp at night, so that Shen Yiran did not find the opportunity to complete the task in time.

Commander Jiang couldn't answer, because it is true that if you don't get close to the camp, you can't detect it, but, "Even if the enemy camp is different, why didn't the little general send someone back to pass a message so that we can know the situation."

"Maybe it's not that I don't want to, it's not that I can." Tang Zisheng thought of something, and took out the map outside the northwest city that he had been looking at for the past few days from the bookshelf behind him. .But the mountain will not change easily, so this map can also be used now.

"Here." Tang Zisheng pointed to a mountain stream. This is a dangerous place, but it is also an easy place to hide. If foreign soldiers and horses knew that Shen Yiran led troops to harass, they would definitely send people to search quietly. Before it is found, a large-scale battle will not break out.

There are not many other things in Xizhou, but there are many green hills, and the northwest city is surrounded by mountains. After reaching the border of the foreign countries, the mountains gradually disappeared and turned into a large grassland.

"The foreign commander should have blocked General Shen's message at this distance. General Shen should take refuge in the mountain stream now."

"Then shall we lead our troops out of the city to rescue the little general as soon as possible?"

"No need." Tang Zisheng looked at the map, "General Shen will return in a few days, we can rest assured and wait."

"This?" Commander Jiang didn't understand Tang Zisheng's meaning for a while.

"The mountain stream is dangerous, General Shen can't ambush here, the purpose is to prevent the foreigners from searching for them, and make the foreign army think that they have returned to the Northwest City, but our going will disrupt General Shen's plan. "

"But the little general didn't bring much food and grass out, so he was simmering in the mountains like this"

"There are a lot of things to eat in the mountains. Before General Shen came to Northwest City, they had already been trained to live in the mountains. If they really reached the end of the mountain, General Shen would return in time."

Tang Zisheng knew that even if Shen Yiran dared to gamble with his own life, he would not gamble with the lives of [-] soldiers.

And when they went out this time, all they brought were sweet potatoes and potatoes brought by Tang Zisheng, and each of them brought a lot, enough to last for twenty days.

Commander Jiang shook his head and sighed, "Why bother."

He didn't think that the previous plan to raid the foreign tribes and kill the tribal leaders was so easy to complete.

Tang Zisheng did not explain. In fact, they sent people out. Apart from this plan, there was also a big gamble. If the foreign army retreated, they would have the opportunity to implement the original plan. If the foreign army did not retreat, then they would stay there , also has another task.

When the foreign countries attack the city again, [-] soldiers and horses from the outer city will attack the camp, with bread on both sides. Although there is a lot of land and we are few, their ultimate goal is food and grass.

"Commander Jiang, get ready here. The foreign army has not retreated, and there is a high probability that they will attack the city in the near future." Tang Zisheng thought again after talking, wondering if Prime Minister Yan's reinforcements could catch up.

-

"We're coming, the troops of King Xin and King Huai are coming." Early in the morning, there were beggars at the entrance of the imperial city, beating their sticks and loudly announcing that the soldiers and horses were coming to the imperial city.

Originally, the news should not have been so fast, but now that the imperial city is in chaos, no one has the time to find out who is fueling the flames.

The originally bustling imperial city was thrown into chaos because of the news. Vendors rushed home with their carts. city.

The imperial city was in chaos, even the imperial palace was no exception. Many court ladies and eunuchs hurriedly cleaned up the palace's treasures, trying to escape from the palace to make a living.

The noise from outside spread into the old emperor's palace. The old emperor, who was already critically ill, trembled his lips at this moment, and made a "ho ho" sound in his throat, presumably because he was thirsty.

But all the waiters have already left, and he is a terminally ill sixty-year-old man who can hardly even stretch out his hand. Who wants to die if he can live.

The old emperor's instinct to survive made him stare his cloudy eyes wide open, stretching his hands forward, trying to get up weakly, but it's a pity that he has been ill for a long time, and his body that has been overdrawn all depends on the palace. Li Jingui's medicinal herbs are hanging, and it will be time to run out of oil and lamps.

Bang——The whole body of the old emperor fell from the dragon bed and hit the ground. The pain caused the old emperor, who was already on the verge of death, to groan. He stretched out one hand, as if he still wanted to crawl forward.

But in just a few breaths, the struggling hand completely stopped moving, and a generation of emperors died under the dragon bed so aggrieved.

"It's really embarrassing." The man who came in looked at the dead old emperor. Originally, he planned to tell the old emperor that his good sons were leading troops to fight to the root of the imperial city, but now it was too late. .

"Sir, the Imperial Forest Army has taken control of the entire palace, we are going out of the city to fight the rebels."

The prince hurried over from outside the door, because the rebel army came suddenly, he was still sleeping soundly in the East Palace and was quarreled by others, he didn't even come to bring the hair crown in a hurry, now he looks embarrassed and ridiculous.

The people in the imperial city are in chaos, so naturally the palace is also in chaos. Fortunately, following the general's order, the Imperial Forest Army guards the exit of the palace gate, so that these slaves who dare to escape have nowhere to go. Will this be the time to deal with these slaves? He solved the three-party rebels outside the city, and then went back to liquidate these people.

"No rush." ​​The man circled around the old emperor's body, looking at the old emperor's eyes that were still wide open before he died, it would be easier for him to die with peace.

"Sir, you have to be in a hurry. They fought all the way from Nanzhou to Dongzhou, and then to the imperial city. If we don't fight, we will be laughed at by the world. This is a lonely world, and they must solve it as soon as possible."

"You don't want to die, don't you come and take a look." The man squatted down with great interest, old emperor, old emperor, I didn't expect that you are still today, you said that you shouldn't have done so many cruel things back then, You see, apart from him, Yan He and Jing Huan, who doesn't want to pick your skin and bones.

But you are also unlucky, if you meet someone like Yan or He Jinghuan who claims to be a gentleman, you will definitely not be humiliated if you just bury him.

But if it fell into his hands, he was a villain, and he felt that he was taking advantage of the dog emperor.

"Sir, Royal Father is already very short of life. It is a blessing that we don't have to watch our brothers fight each other now that he is gone."

The prince doesn't want to see the dead, especially the emperor's death is not decent, and his face is very hideous. If he sees too much, he might have a nightmare. "The most important thing is to destroy the rebels now. If we protect Great Yu Jiangshan, the spirit of the emperor in the sky must also be gratified."

"Really?" The man stood up, "There are nearly 20 soldiers and horses scattered outside, and this is excluding the soldiers they have injured before, and you only have [-] soldiers from the Royal Forest Army. How do you fight?"

"What? Sir, didn't you say you have a solution? Although they have 20, they are at odds. As long as we can provoke them and let them kill each other first, will we be able to collect the fisherman's profit soon?" The prince was anxious , How is this different from what I said before.

"Since you want to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, why are you in such a hurry to go out of the city to meet the enemy?" The man looked at the prince with a half-smile.

"Yes, Gu is in a hurry, let them fight first, and Gu will wait for the troops to be dispatched later." The prince echoed repeatedly.

The man ignored this stupid prince, he had already done what he had to do, and now it was better to get away in time.Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to leave when Yan or He Jinghuan came back.

"Sir, where are you going to take father?" The prince was shocked when he saw the man suddenly dragging his father's corpse by the collar. No matter what, father is the king of a country. Treating each other with courtesy, wouldn't it be detrimental to the majesty of the emperor.

The man glanced at the prince, and the prince immediately turned back. He is still counting on his husband to help him, and it is absolutely impossible to disagree with him.

The man dragged the emperor's body and walked out of the palace. What he wanted to do was, of course, hang the old emperor's body on the city gate—a violent corpse.
