50. Scheming

"Chitose Wangye!" The iron strings flicked in the distance, shouting.

Zhu Di had a smile on his face, and was about to let him flatten down, when suddenly there was a rustling sound on the top, Zhu Di immediately raised his head, and I had already kicked an empty horse next to him with his foot, the horse rushed into the city gate, Zhu Di quickly jumped onto the horse, the original horse's head was cut off by a huge iron plate that fell straight on the top, as long as it was half a point away, the iron plate would fall on Zhu Di's head.

At this moment, my heart almost jumped out, Zhu Di had quickly ridden the horse behind him and turned the horse's head and retreated, the iron strings in the city were obviously fully prepared, when Zhu Di withdrew, more than a dozen black-clothed killers jumped out, chasing and blocking Zhu Di, and I and Sanbao and others also rushed in to meet Zhu Di, Zhu Yan's blood whip swept away, and even knocked down two black-clothed people who were almost on Zhu Di's horseback, all the way in a hurry, we all withdrew, and Tie Xian saw that the sneak attack was not successful, and did not dare to touch the hard, The gates of the city were immediately shut down.

A few of us were in front of the city gate, watching the black and heavy city gate close tightly in an instant, Zhu Di's face was covered with dark clouds, and a few green tendons on his forehead were beating, for a long time, he called softly, "Go back." ”

My heart was still beating, and I couldn't imagine what it would be like if the iron plate fell on Zhu Di. Zhu Yanxue slammed the long whip on the door a few times, and said angrily, "Iron string, this cheap billet!" What kind of benevolence, morality, loyalty and honesty! Actually use this kind of trick! Let's go inside, screw his head off and hang it on this wall, and see who else dares to play such a trick again!" ”

Sanbao glanced at her coldly, "The prince said, go back." ”

At this time, Zhu Di had already left slowly on horseback, and Zhang Yu and others from Yuelong City beckoned the troops they brought to rush back. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Zhu Yanxue's face was full of anger, he raised his whip to drive the horse up, and ran into the forest to sulk.

"I didn't expect this guy Tie Xian, who has always said the same, to make such a trick!" Sanbao's face was flushed with anger, and he threw his helmet on the table, angry. Zhang Yu raised his eyebrows even more, "Lord Wang, let the last general go and solve this nerd who doesn't know the height of the sky, in order to avenge being deceived today." ”

Zhu Di sat down at the table and looked at everyone coldly, "I don't know how thick the nerds are, but we all encountered the biggest nail since the launch of the project on the way south, isn't it worth our attention?" ”

Everyone was splashed with cold water by Zhu Di's two words, they stopped talking, and sat quietly, no one could imagine how Zhu Di, who is the most courageous leader on weekdays, could say such frustrating words at such a time. Could it be that he was frightened by the iron plate that fell from the sky? Although no one dares to say it, after all, they can't control the thinking of others, and someone must think so. I stood far away, quietly looking at Zhu Di, only I understood how difficult it was for him to get to this point, and how much he cherished the situation he had today, so he had a cautious attitude that no one could match the enemy.

Zhu Di pinched the bridge of his nose with one hand, rubbed it up and down, frowned, and said, "Let's all go back and rest." ”

Seeing that the boss was so tired, everyone left quietly, and when I was about to leave, Zhu Di said in a low voice, "You stay." ”

I glanced back at him and stood still. "Come here, come to me." Zhu Di still closed his eyes and said quietly. So I walked slowly to him, and he reached out and touched my hand in his own judgment, and then gently held it, and did not speak for a long time.

"Lord Wang, Iron String deceived you." I whispered.

"yes, he cheated on me, so I don't have to intercede with him anymore."

"Are you ready to attack?"

"We have artillery, and it is a matter of moments to storm the city." Zhu Di finally opened his eyes and looked up at me with a half-squint.

"Are you asking me if it's appropriate to storm the city with artillery?" I looked directly at Zhu Di and asked.

Zhu Di smiled, "No, I'm just ...... I want to talk to someone the most. ”

"There are still a lot of people out there waiting to talk to you." My face stiffened.

"I just want to talk to you." Zhu Di increased the strength of his hand, so that I didn't even have the courage to break free, "It was the iron strings that forced me." There's no way I'm going to give up going south for a city in Jinan, you know what that means. ”

I nodded and smiled reluctantly, "Then I wish the prince in advance to be captured." ”

"You're not happy." Zhu Di looked straight ahead, his eyes empty, "You are still too young and don't understand many things." War is the most harmful to the people, since we have already started the war, we must end it as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause more damage. You see that the people of Jinan City in front of you can hardly survive, but outside Jinan City, there are still thousands of people carrying the mountain of war on their backs and suffering from unprecedented harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, just to support those useless southern troops. You say, should we continue to consume the people, or should we tie up people like Tie Xian in front of the army earlier to boost morale? ”

I nodded, "You have a point. In that case, let's do it. No matter what, I'll follow you. Before I finished speaking, I could feel Zhu Di's hand adding some strength, and I smiled slightly, "This war has begun and lasted for more than two years, many people have had to accept it, and many more people have become numb. I'm also numb, after today's events, I don't want to think about anything anymore, now my only concern is your safety, no matter what, I want to see that you are safe. ”

Zhu Di stood up, took me into his arms, kissed my hair gently, and stopped talking.

Early in the morning of the second day, three artillery pieces were erected outside the city gate of Jinan, and the muzzle of the guns was facing the city tower on the city tower. If it weren't for the hostility between the two sides, I couldn't help but admire this iron string, what a strong personality he had, so that he could lead such a large team of the old, weak, sick and disabled in the city to resist such a huge team? Listen to the patrol soldiers report, this iron string since the retreat to Jinan to defend the city, almost every day personally supervise the army, never relaxed, he has a deputy general called Sheng Yong, the two work together, encourage each other, encourage the people of the city are the same hatred, swear not to open the city gate.

"Tiexian, the prince is merciful, he has spoken, I will give you another chance, as long as you open the city gate, you will not blame the past, you will be kind to the people in the city, and you will not touch the property of the people. If you are stubborn and stubborn, then we have no choice but to be polite! "The general Zhang Yuren is tall and big, with a rough voice, taking the lead and shouting at the city tower. Unexpectedly, after shouting for a long time, there was no response from the city tower.

The soldiers couldn't help but be a little restless, and they all guessed whether the cunning scholar Tie Xian was thinking of some kind of ghost idea again, Zhang Yu even seemed to have thrown a big stone into the water, not only did there be no echo, not even a trace of ripples were aroused, and they couldn't help but feel that their faces were swept away, and they were annoyed and angry, "Tie Xian!" Since you don't eat and drink in the toast, don't blame Uncle Zhang for being polite! Gunpowder loaded! ”

The soldiers of the commander's artillery immediately filled the chamber with gunpowder and aimed all three holes at the tower. At this moment, Tie Xian suddenly stood up, condescending, and looked at us with his back to his back. Zhang Yu saw Tie Xian and laughed, "Nerd! Don't think that you have a body of adamantine iron because you have a bit of a ghost idea, I have a cannon here, not to mention a cannon barrel, even if you take a spoon and dig a spoonful and stuff it into your mouth, it will blow you up to the ground, and your intestines will be direct! ”

Tie Xian still didn't speak, but suddenly took out a thing from his back, the thing was not big, and it was covered with a black cloth, Tie Xian's face was solemn, and he put the thing firmly on the city wall, and lifted the black cloth, Zhu Di took the clairvoyance and looked at it twice, and suddenly threw the clairvoyant to the ground, his face was furious, and some of the soldiers who stood in front of him with excellent eyesight also saw what Tie Xian took out, and couldn't help but be shocked, all of them were full of righteous indignation, their faces were flushed, and their mouths were scolding, : This iron string is simply a treacherous villain, There's nothing else to do but use these tricks! Have the ability to come down and open the city gate to fight a battle in the light! If the uncle doesn't fight, he is looking for teeth all over the ground, so he is not a man! ”

Under that black cloth, it is the god seat of Gaozu Zhu Yuanzhang!

"Lord Wang, that's a wooden plank, maybe it's all ordered by the iron strings, it's not the justifiable first emperor's divine position." Zhang Yu took the lead in saying.

"Shut up." Zhu Di interrupted Zhang Yu's words, and walked back and forth on a horse restlessly. Zhang Yu was also depressed when he said this, and refused to speak on the side, I walked up to Zhang Yu and comforted, "General Zhang, do you remember what we went south for this time?" ”

Zhang Yu glanced at me and replied reluctantly, "It's difficult." As soon as he finished speaking, his own face changed. I nodded to him, and continued, "Yes, it's Jingnan, the prince is to follow the last instructions of the first emperor, and the vassal king Jingnan is to sweep away the traitors in the court." This is the last precept of the first emperor, at this time, not to mention the iron string is made and a former emperor's divine position, that is, he used white paper to draw a portrait of the first emperor, write the name of the first emperor, we can't move him half a bit, this iron string, it is really not simple. is not only brave, but also strategic, and he cannot be underestimated from now on. “

"Whatever he has, in my eyes it is a treacherous trick, not a man!" Zhang Yu was still angry, but after being taught a lesson by me, he didn't dare to shout anymore, let alone say anything about the direct bombing.

Seeing that he had made such a good move, Tie Xian on the city tower couldn't help but feel very proud, looking at us with a provocative smile, and even smiling at Zhu Di.

It was a stalemate until the afternoon, and Zhu Di was unwilling to give the order to retreat, our troops were strong, and there was more artillery to help, and Tie Xian was so cunning, no one could bow their heads and admit defeat.
