Chapter 701: Danger
There were fires everywhere in the city, and Mrs. Zhou barely managed to stabilize her mind and ordered someone to take a closer look.
At such a time, you can't make a decision casually, especially when the master is leading the troops outside, if something happens in the city, it will definitely affect the battle situation outside.
"The grain and grass were set on fire, and the three places in the city where the grain and grass were stored were ...... ...... all."
Mrs. Zhou only felt a "boom" in her head.
The three places were actually set on fire, how did those people know where the warehouse was, could it be that someone deliberately leaked the news, if this is the case, I am afraid that the master is also in danger now.
Mrs. Zhou said: "Quick, let people arrest these people, and send news to the master, just say that someone has infiltrated the city to make trouble." "This matter is not trivial, the old man told him that he must be optimistic about the military resources in the city, but he didn't expect that the old man had just left the city, and such a thing happened.
The master went out, Zi'an and the others also led the troops outside, and now there is no one around her to help.
Mrs. Zhou didn't know what to do.
"Ma'am, no. ”
I don't know how long it took, but a hurried shout broke Mrs. Zhou's thoughts.
Mrs. Zhou immediately cheered up and ordered someone to let the herald in.
The herald knelt on the ground: "Master's side...... There was chaos on the master's side, Pei Qitang blocked the way back to the city, and the master was trapped outside. ”
Mrs. Zhou's feet were weak, and the whole person fell into the chair, and her heart was beating in a panic: "What are you talking about? Master, Master...... How is this possible, aren't they just outside the city? Pei Qitang only has a few thousand people in his hands, and we have tens of thousands of people, how can we lose. ”
"Ma'am, it's true...... Pei Qitang...... King Qing...... Bring someone to kill him, and say...... The lord is a collaborator with the enemy and treason, and if the people who follow the lord do not defect to the court now, they will be guilty of the same crime as the lord, so there are people who ...... Someone threw it. ”
"This immediately ruined the momentum of the army. ”
Collaboration with the enemy and treason will bring disaster to the nine clans, and there will definitely be people who will be shaken by this, as long as one person goes out, there will be thousands of people who will follow.
Mrs. Zhou only felt that everything was lost, and hurriedly asked, "How is the master?" "Mrs. Zhou is sad, what can I do, if the master has something to do, what will they do?
The herald said: "The old man was injured and was escorted by the deputy general next to him to break through, and he has not ...... yet Not yet...... , but the lord has a message to send back. ”
Mrs. Zhou immediately said, "What news, what did the master say?"
The herald said: "The master said that he fell for Pei Qitang's plan, and now he can only ask Lord Tan to send troops to help...... As long as Lord Tan can join forces with the master, he will definitely be able to win Pei Qitang. ”
Mrs. Zhou's heart rose the last hope, that Tan Sheng was sent by the king of Jiaozhi to serve beside them, and he has always been respectful to them, Tan Sheng can mobilize the army of Jiaozhi, and he will definitely help the master when such a time comes.
Mrs. Zhou said, "Go and send the news to Lord Tan." ”
……
Tan Sheng hurriedly stood on the head of the city and looked down, green smoke came out of many places in the city, he had seen the map of the city from Zhou Yan, those places were not mansions, and there were no yamen, but suddenly a fire broke out, and the officers and soldiers in the city were like facing a great enemy, and everyone rushed over, so it seems that there must be very important things in those places, either military funds or the property accumulated by the Zhou family for many years.
If this is really the case, then it means that Zhou Yan's every move has fallen into the eyes of others, knowing himself and knowing that he has won every battle, according to this view, Pei Qitang's attack is very certain.
There was a sound of weapons clashing, and then his subordinates came to Tan Sheng and said, "The Zhou family found the person who set the fire in the city. ”
"How many people?" Tan Sheng immediately asked, maybe this was Pei Qitang's vanguard.
"I heard that there were only a few dozen people. ”
Dozens of people will disturb the city like this, if it was Zhou Yan in the past, how could such a thing be allowed to happen, I am afraid that the Zhou family is now at the end of the crossbow.
The subordinate continued: "My lord, Xing Guogong is under siege, please send reinforcements to relieve the difficulty." ”
Tan Sheng frowned, he was really right.
Zhou Yan lost to Pei Qitang.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses actually did not do anything like this, Tan Sheng couldn't help but shake his head, thanks to the king's great expectations for the Zhou family, in order to help the Zhou family and King Ning, the king sent hundreds of ships, just to contain Shangji. After these days, their sailors have also suffered heavy losses, Rao is so, Zhou Yan and King Ning have not had the slightest chance to turn around, and now that Zhou Yan has suffered another defeat, can he really send troops to help?
Tan Sheng shook his head, he has never made uncertain deals, if Zhou Yan can still reverse the defeat, he will naturally reach out, if Zhou Yan will lose, then there is no use value.
They didn't get any benefit from each other, and if he lost his wife and soldiers, how would he go back and explain to the king?
In the end, it's all about Daqi.
"Why hasn't Zhou Yan returned to the city yet?" Tan Sheng looked into the distance, faintly dusty, obviously an army was fighting.
I'm afraid only Mrs. Zhou knows the truth.
"Let's go," Tan Sheng said, "Go to Zhou's house and see how it goes." ”
As soon as Tan Sheng's words fell, he heard a muffled snort, and the guards around him covered their necks and fell to the ground, and several people came up with steel knives and immediately fought with the guards.
"My lord, let's go from the other side, Pei Qitang's army is already attacking the city. ”
Tan Sheng turned his head to look over, and sure enough, there was a sound of fighting under the city, if Pei Qitang could lead people to attack the city, then it meant that Zhou Yan lost.
"My lord, should we stay and defend the city? The people in the city are also in chaos, do you want to pacify the people first? ”
"What are you guarding," Tan Sheng said with round eyes, "This is not our Jiaozhi city, and these are not our Jiaozhi people." ”
Zhou Yan is useless, he can be regarded as Xing Guogong.
"Then we ......"
"Go to Zhou's house," Tan Sheng said, "tell Mrs. Zhou to bring her things and go out of the city with us." This was something he had already thought about, and he couldn't go back to the king empty-handed.
It took a while for the subordinate to understand: "You mean ......"
"Daqi is in chaos, Zhou Yan is useless, we will naturally go back to each other," Tan Sheng said and paused, "But we can't just go like this." ”
Zhou Yan's hoarded property over the years naturally had to be taken away.
……
"That's what Lord Tan said?" Mrs. Zhou asked, "We're going to make peace with the master outside?"
The steward nodded: "Lord Tan said that Pei Qitang was about to break the city when he saw it, Pei Qitang was not a good person, and it was rumored that he would slaughter the city for a long time......."
Hearing the word slaughter, Mrs. Zhou shuddered.
Compared with Pei Qitang, Tan Sheng is obviously more able to make her trust, not to mention that even if they go to Jiaozhi, the master is also Xing Guogong, as long as the master is given time to recuperate, the master will inevitably take back what he has lost.
"Bring your things," said Mrs. Zhou, "everyone will follow, and we will go out of the city with Lord Tan." ”
