The early morning mist gradually dissipated, the morning sun spread out with the morning sun, Mulan Xu was too tired, and had completely forgotten about her sister's affairs, and Lin Nan, who was beautiful in her arms and came back to life, was naturally not in the mood to get up early, so neither of them noticed that Youlan had entered the room.

Youlan found that the tent was tight, and there were her sister's clothes on the ground, and she had already guessed the matter, she knew that her sister was here for her, but she was not grateful, but her heart was sour and very uncomfortable.

"Sister." She whispered, but Mulan didn't realize it, only Lin Nan heard it.

"Is it Sister Youlan?" Lin Nan raised his head and asked.

"Ahh Youlan was taken aback, stepped back a few times, and said in a lost voice: "You...... You are ......"

"It's me, it's your sister who brought me back." Lin Nan smiled, opened the corner of the tent, and stuck his head out.

Seeing that his face was ruddy, it was far from yesterday's look, and she was surprised and delighted, blinked her eyes and glanced at him, "Are you okay?" ”

"Hmm." Lin Nan smiled at this little beauty with clear eyebrows, made Youlan's face feel ashamed, hurriedly lowered his head, and whispered, "That...... Then I'll go out first. ”

"Well, your sister is a lazy cat who hasn't woken up yet." Lin Nan picked her with his eyes, which made Youlan's heart flutter, and quickly pushed the door out of the house.

Lin Nan looked at Youlan Zhang very delicate and cute, although she was not a beautiful character, but she also had something outstanding, thinking that her sister was like this, her sister should not be bad, so she hurriedly lowered her head to Mulan's appearance.

The little face of the red servant, the crescent-like eyelashes, and the closed little Dan lips are really a little similar to Youlan.

"Tsk, it's sisters." Thinking of this, Lin Nan put a bite on her face, and called in a low voice: "Lazy cat, lazy cat, it's been three strokes a day, why haven't you woken up yet." ”

"Hmm......" Mulan Li ignored her, but her lips moved.

Lin Nan's eyes rolled. Biting her earlobe, she called, "Your sister is here." ”

"Oh......" Mulan agreed, suddenly opened her eyes suddenly, sat up from the bed with a sigh and said in a lost voice: "I forgot about Youlan." ”

"She's gone." Lin Nan hugged her snow shoulder and smiled.

°C±dǐng°C±diǎn°C±小°C± says,.≠.o≧s_(); "She knows it all?" Mulan was ashamed and shocked, and glanced at Lin Nan with a red face.

"Of course you know, what, are you afraid that she will know that you robbed her man?" Lin Nan deliberately teased her with words, making Mulan silent, not knowing how to answer.

Lin Nan smiled softly when he saw her like this, kissed her on the cheek and said, "Don't worry, you two are my life-saving benefactors, and I won't treat you badly." ”

Mulan listened to what he said, and her heart calmed down a little, and then Youlan suddenly pushed the door and ran in, exclaiming: "Oh no, there are many officers and soldiers outside, shouting 'Emperor'." ”

"What?" Lin Nan's eyebrows furrowed, and he quickly stretched out his arm to grab the clothes on the ground, and Lan turned his back to look at the two of them shamefully. After the two of them put on their clothes, Lin Nan was no longer in the mood to joke at this time, and whispered to the two women: "Don't make a noise, I'll take a look." ”

The soldiers searching outside were led by Hou Junji, so as soon as Lin Nan went out, he heard Hou Junji's rough voice.

"Your Majesty, where are you?"

Lin Nan was overjoyed, and quickly opened his voice and replied: "I'm here!" ”

"Huh?" Hou Junji heard Lin Nan's echo in the forest, and when he looked ahead, he saw a mountain col and a hut in the col, and couldn't help but rejoice: "The emperor is set there, let's go over quickly!" ”

Hou Junji flew over, Lin Nan also ran out of the mountain col, the monarch and the minister saw each other, he was overjoyed, Hou Junji cried with joy, grabbed Lin Nan's shoulder and said: "The minister can't sleep all night, and he doesn't think about the emperor all the time. ”

Hahahaha, Lin Nan laughed loudly, hugged Hou Junji to the lower pass, and met the Mulan sisters, and everyone didn't talk much, so they returned to Chuzhou.

Lin Nan returned to the palace, first went to bathe and change clothes, and found that the arrow wound had begun to heal, and couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of the miracle medicine.

Sima Nan and Lai Hu'er saw Lin Nan's face tense, afraid that he would blame, and immediately fidgeted. But Lin Nan didn't mention the two, just snorted and said, "Where is Murong Lian?" ”

Murong Lian heard this, and hurriedly came out and said, "The minister is here." ”

Lin Nan squinted at him and said, "I ordered you to supervise the construction and digging of the canal, but there is any progress?" ”

Murong Lian hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, it has been chiseled for more than a thousand miles, but now the people of Chuzhou are rioting, so it is delayed." ”

Lin Nan snorted, took a sip of tea and asked, "Oh, have I paid your people's wages every year?" ”

Murong Lian's heart froze, but his face remained unchanged, and he hurriedly replied: "The ministers have all been distributed, don't dare to slack off." ”

"Okay." Lin Nan laughed, came down to the palace and patted Murong Lian on the shoulder and said, "Well done, this group of mobs have taken my royal silver and still want to rebel, I really don't know what to do, and they should all be punished." ”

Murong Lian realized that what he said was wrong, but he couldn't hear anything, so he could only agree: "What the emperor said is extremely true. ”

Lin Nan snorted, turned around and ordered, "Come on." ”

The two guards hurriedly entered, and the hundred officials thought that Lin Nan was going to reward Murong Lian, but who knew that Lin Nan's face suddenly changed, and he turned around and glared at him angrily: "Come on, take Murong Lian down, push it out and put it to Ling Chi to death!" ”

"Huh?" Murong Lian was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged, the minister has never deducted the wages of the people, and I ask the emperor to investigate it in detail." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be investigated in detail." Several civil officials also knelt down to intercede with him.

Lin Nan was furious, pointed at Murong Lian and said, "How do you know that I am talking about your deduction of wages, if you don't have a ghost in your heart, how can you think about this?" Also check in detail, what to check? If it weren't for you, how could Wang Shijun be ruined? The more he spoke, the more angry he became, and he said to a few people on the ground: "You intercede for him, but you can't get his benefits!" ”

Several people were shocked, and hurriedly buried their heads in the ground and said: "The emperor is angry, I don't know what happened, and he has concealed it." ”

At this time, Wei Zheng suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty. ”

"What are you guilty of?" Lin Nan stared at him, not knowing what his words meant.

Wei Zheng sighed: "As an official, the minister has not verified this matter, and he does not dare to admonish him, which has caused a disaster in the people's livelihood, and he hopes that the emperor will be punished." ”

When Lin Nan heard him say this, he shook his head and said, "No one is perfect, and the culprit of this matter lies in my improper use of people, not your sin." After he finished speaking, he ordered: "Murong Lian Lingchi will be executed, the nine clans will be exterminated, the family property will be confiscated from the treasury, and these few who intercede for him will be reduced to commoners, and they will be sent to the state and never hired." ”

Seeing that Lin Nan's punishment was so severe, no one dared to say more than half a word, and Murong Lian saw that he was unable to return to the sky, so he immediately scolded until he was dragged out of the palace.

Lin Nan returned to his seat, and the **** Sima Nan said, "Where is Wang Shijun now?" ”

Sima Nan stepped forward and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the anti-thief king Shijun deceived the Great Sui people to open the gate of Yong'an, recruited more than 10,000 soldiers, plus the river workers and people who followed him, now have 50,000 soldiers, and they are stationed in the city. ”

After listening to the diǎn diǎn head, Lin Nan pondered for a while, and ordered: "Quickly adjust the people from the neighboring counties to enter Yong'an, and I want to see what he Wang Shijun is capable of." ”

"Yes!" The ministers agreed in unison.

Three days later, all the people and horses led elite soldiers to gather in Chuzhou, and Lin Nan changed his helmet in a whole bunch, personally took the front, and came to Yong'an.

Yong'an, known as Chenggao in ancient times, is the granary of the counties of Yuzhou, the reason why Wang Shijun chose to garrison here is precisely because the grain and grass here are abundant, and the city is solid.

Lin Nan personally led an army of 500,000 to Yong'an in the starry night, who knew that the rainy season had just arrived, and the continuous torrential rain hindered the speed of the army's march, and it was not until noon on the seventh day that Lin Nan's army marched to Runan County, fifty miles northwest of Yong'an City.

Runan County ordered Chun Yutai to kneel outside the city to greet him, and Lin Nan did not enter the city, but only ordered the three armies to be stationed outside the city and enter Yong'an tomorrow. At dusk, the sky after the rain was red, Lin Nan had no intention of enjoying the scenery, but he was absent-mindedly pacing back and forth in the big tent of the Chinese army, and his mind was a little heavy to figure out the traitor's method of defending the city.

At this time, the sound of footsteps came, and Zhuge Zhigong entered the tent, "Enlighten the emperor, the sentry camp returns, Wang Shijun has a deep ditch and a high base, guarding the city, and there is no big action." "Oh?" This is beyond the reach of Lin Nan's historical data, and he couldn't help frowning: "Although Yong'an has abundant grain and grass and a strong city, Wang Shijun is only a rabble of 50,000, untrained, and the number is ten times less than our army, how can he hold it?" Zhuge Zhi also bowed his head slightly and said: "The minister also thinks that there is fraud in this, but he doesn't know what the hell this Wang Shijun is doing." Lin Nan diǎndiǎn head, turned around and looked at a map hanging in front of the tent, carefully looked at it for a while, and didn't see any clues, at this time, Mulan carried lotus seed soup into the tent from the outside, Zhuge Zhi's mind turned, and he said: "Your Majesty, I think that Wang Shijun just wants to do the battle of trapped beasts, and you don't have to worry about it." "Hmm." Lin Nan diǎn diǎn head, knowing that he was thoughtful, and expected that there should be no big mess, so he waved his hand and ordered him to go down.

"Come on, Mulan." Lin Nan smiled slightly and beckoned Mulan to come over. "Your Majesty, your body is just right, you shouldn't be tired, let's drink this bowl of soup first." Mulan walked over, Lin Nan grabbed her arm and held it in his arms and chuckled, "I'm not hungry, I don't want to drink any soup." Mulan blinked her phoenix eyes, leaned her delicate body comfortably on Lin Nan's warm chest, and lightly opened her lips and said, "Then what the emperor wants to eat, Mulan is easy to do." Lin Nan smiled when he heard this: "I just want to eat you." Mulan was timid, but she glanced at Lin Nan coquettishly, her heart was sweet, her cherry lips were fragrant, and she said coquettishly: "The emperor knows how to bully Mulan." For some reason, seeing Mulan's smile, Jieluo's face suddenly appeared in front of her, and Lin Nan's face changed suddenly, and he took his hand away and sighed: "Okay, you go out." Mulan didn't understand what he meant, thinking that he had made him unhappy, so he quickly got up and knelt down and said: "The emperor forgives the sin, Mulan is just joking, the emperor must not take it seriously." Lin Nan shook his head, stepped forward to help her up, and sighed: "I have never blamed you, it's just that I didn't bring a concubine on my southern tour, and now I have this taboo, which is really a bit difficult to do." Only then did Mulan understand what he meant, her face was ashamed, and she whispered to Lin Nan: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Mulan's body can still withstand it." Lin Nan was a little moved when he heard this, and took her little hand and said, "Okay, I know, you go first." "Hmm." Mulan agreed, and reluctantly got out of the big tent.

The next day, Lin Nan personally put on a strong and stubborn and led his troops to the city of Yong'an.

I saw the banner at the head of the city, the two rows of soldiers defending the city were dressed differently, but they were full of spirit, there was no fear, the moat was obviously widened, and the water color was very turbid, it was expected that there must be sharp knives buried in it, the Yong'an city wall was originally very strong, and now it has been sprinkled a lot by Wang Shijun, although it was hastily built, but it also played a lot of roles.

"Your Majesty, this Wang Shijun seems to have been prepared, so he has nothing to fear." Wei Zheng whispered, Lin Nan squinted his eyes and looked at the city, only to see that there were no big leaders except for a few lieutenants with light helmets, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he raised his voice and shouted: "Ask Wang Shijun to come out to see me." A few lieutenants at the head of the city ignored it, and a few soldiers put their bows and arrows on them, but because they were too far away, they put them down again. Zhuge Zhi looked at this situation and said to Lin Nan in a low voice: "Wang Shijun must have expected that the emperor would not be able to capture this city, so he deliberately avoided it to humiliate the emperor. ”

"Hmph, what a Wang Shijun, I want to see what he is capable of." Lin Nan drew his sword as he spoke, pointed to the sky and shouted: "The three armies listen to the order, now attack the city, and the first person to go to the head of the city is Yong'an Taishou!" "Gu ....... Boom...... Boom...... The trumpeters on both sides raised their horns together, the twenty-sided earth-shaking drums beat in unison, and the infantry of the Sui army was divided into forty columns, each with a thousand people, each holding a shield hob, and behind each column there were three squads carrying ladders, all of which strode towards the edge of the city...... Twenty catapults slowly approached from behind, followed by the siege of ten thousand gold dǐng, pushed forward by thirty wrestlers.

In the face of this formation, the sergeants at the head of the city had to tremble a little. At this time, the Sui army had already entered the range of the archers at the head of the city, and a deputy general raised his hand, and saw that the Sui army had forced a few steps further, so he shouted: "Release!" "Thousands of feathered arrows fell from the sky, most of them hit the shields, some embedded in the shields, some were shocked away, and some passed through the gaps, knocking the Sui soldiers to the ground.

However, bows and arrows are limited in lethality to shielded infantry after all. Tens of thousands of Sui troops approached the moat, and the commanders of each column with a thousand faces shouted at the rear army: "Siege!" "Kill!" The shouts of tens of thousands of Sui soldiers were earth-shattering, and the first group of ladder men in the rear team quickly moved forward and put the two ends of the ladder on the other side of the moat, while the second group of ladder hands stepped on the ladder and put the ladder on the head of the city. "Put!" In front of the catapult, a general soldier handle fell, dozens of jacks of boulders were sent to the head of the city, used to cover the soldiers who stepped on the ladder to attack the city, tens of thousands of Sui troops quickly went up the ladder before and after, and the rebels defending the city moved the stones and rolling wood to the Sui army on the ladder and smashed it, and the boulders sent out by the catapult smashed the nave of the city head, and many rebels were also smashed into a blur of flesh and blood, miserable, this tragic siege battle finally kicked off!

Under the cover of catapults, accompanied by the screams of the city. The arrows were much thinner at once, but the rebel generals at the head of the city discovered this diǎn, and hurriedly mobilized hundreds of archers to go to the city, Lin Nan saw it, and hurriedly mobilized a thousand rocketeers to the city to release rockets to the city.

Team Rocket really worked, and the Sui army took advantage of the rebels to dodge and put out fires everywhere. Climbed quite a bit, and some even touched the wall. "Brothers. dǐng live! A lieutenant drew his sword and cut down the Sui soldiers who touched the wall, and then a group of ordinary people came up from under the city, this group of people were men and women, old and young, there were no weapons at all, some were just holding agricultural hoes, pickaxes, etc., and some only knew how to lift the stone and smash it down.

"How can there be ordinary people!" Lin Nan asked in surprise. At this time, Hou Junji came back from his side horse and said: "Your Majesty, a large number of ordinary people suddenly appeared at the head of the city, helping the rebels to defend the city. Lin Nan saw that many Sui troops were beaten down from the city by the common people, his fists tightened, and he shouted at Hou Junji: "This group of ordinary people is a fake companion of the rebels, and the three armies are ordered to kill me!" "Your Majesty." Wei Zheng stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this group of people doesn't even have weapons, they must have been coerced by the rebels to defend the city, and they can't be killed!" ”

"Nonsense!" Lin Nan drank at him, and then instructed Gao Dehong: "You bring another team of archers up and shoot the rebels pretending to be ordinary people for me." "Yes!" Gao Dehong hit a dozen horses and led a thousand crossbowmen to approach the city. This siege battle was carried out very tragically, the sound of killing in the sky was constantly ringing, the weapons were handed over in all directions, the sky was sprinkled with bright red blood, and there were countless stumps under the city wall.

This qiē Lin Nan saw it all, but his heart was like a stone, and he still ordered the Sui army to attack the city with all his might, and regardless of the people, the rebels were all killed, and the stones, flying arrows, and boiling oil at the head of the city continued to hit the Sui army's body, and pieces of corpses were almost piled up at the city gate, and some of the ones who had not yet lost their breath would be stoned to death by the corpses that fell again, and there was almost no possibility of survival, although the rebels had the help of the people, but because the Sui army had no concerns, the unarmed people were either shot to death or killed by the soldiers who went to the city, and quickly retreated.

The rebels were finally unable to support under the powerful offensive of the Sui army, the stones and hot oil had been used up, and most of the archers were killed, although the rest were barely supported, but they were like the end of a strong crossbow, and there was no big effect. The catapults of the Sui army have stopped firing, Hou Junji, Hu Yanzan and other generals led the army to approach from behind, the Sui army swarmed to the city, and the rebels were already difficult to resist, so they could only start a short-handed confrontation.

Pieces of rebels fell, Huyanzan was like a ghost, holding a green dragon knife, killing dozens of people in a row, chasing until the head of the city, cutting the drawbridge, the drawbridge was broken, the rebels knew that the big thing had gone, they retreated to the city, ready to fight with the Sui army in the streets, and Huyanzan personally led a hundred people to pursue from behind, Hou Junji took advantage of the situation to open the city gate, Yong'an announced the loss.

Such a swift capture of Yong'an made Lin Nan's historical materials unreachable, Zhuge Zhi also felt that there was a ghost here, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there are no 50,000 soldiers defending the city, there must be fraud here!" "Well, get into town!" Lin Nanyi frowned and drove the army into the city, and at this time, Hou Junji also came out, and Lin Nan hurriedly asked, "Have you ever seen Wang Shijun?" Hou Junji shook his head and said, "In addition to tens of thousands of people in the city, there are only two thousand defenders, and Wang Shijun and others are all missing. "Missing!" Lin Nan was taken aback, and immediately ordered: "Immediately order the Eighth Route County to guard the whole city to search and arrest, our army sentry scouts are squatting outside the city day and night, will he Wang Shijun and tens of thousands of horses be able to fly without wings!" "The sun is approaching, the Eighth Road County Guard and Hou Junji and other generals have all returned in vain, and Wang Shijun really disappeared out of thin air with 50,000 horses.

Syllable! A bowl of tea fell to the ground. Lin Nan was furious and shouted at the generals: "How can 50,000 horses disappear out of thin air, can't they all evaporate from the world!" The generals trembled in their hearts, but no one dared to speak, only Zhuge Zhi pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty, although Yong'an is a heavy place for grain hoarding, there are not many household registrations, but Chen Shi passed through the streets and alleys, but found that many people in Yong'an City were homeless and lying on street corners, which was really suspicious. Lin Nan was reminded by him, and then he suddenly realized, and lost his voice: "Wang Shijun must have turned all the people into people, and then suddenly attacked at night, this trick is really vicious." Hou Junji suddenly debuted: "Your Majesty, there are now 70,000 or 80,000 people in Yong'an City, and it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake. What can I do? An evil light flashed in Lin Nan's eyes, and he snorted coldly and said: "If you want to pick out which one is a double yolk egg from a hundred eggs, there is only one way, and that is to beat all these hundred eggs. Then you don't need to discern. ”

"Your Majesty!" When Wei Zheng heard this, he was shocked, and he kowtowed again and again: "In the whole world, there are all the people of His Majesty, how can they be killed in vain." Lin Nan was willing to listen to him, took off his sword and handed it to Hou Junji, saying: "You carry my sword, send orders to the three armies, and search from house to house, but no young man will be left." ”

"Your Majesty, this." Hou Junji took two steps back, not daring to take the sword. "Your Majesty, no!" The hundred officials knelt down in unison, and Lin Nan, who provoked him, was furious and said, "Are you coercing me!" The hundred officials didn't dare to speak, and Wei Zheng admonished: "Your Majesty, the matter of slaughtering the city is the way to destroy the country by the faint monarch, and it is absolutely impossible!" (To be continued.) )
