Chapter 338: Desperate Scheme
Chapter 338 Desperate Scheme
In the corner, Xia Xun, Xie Yufei, Ximen Qing and Nan Feifei, who came in a hurry, got together.
"Xianggong, the wound on your head...... What's going on? β
Nan Feifei gently wiped the blood oozing from Ximenqing's forehead with a handkerchief, and asked distressedly.
Xia Xun coughed and said seriously: "Brother Gao Fei was accidentally injured by Qiu Xia in order to save me. β
Ximenqing rolled his eyes at him.
Xie Yufei redressed Xia Xun's wound, because of the excessive force, the wound on his shoulder was torn open again, and he didn't feel anything at the time, but now he is not only bleeding, but also in pain. Xie Yufei tied up the cloth strips and asked nervously: "Xianggong, what should I do now, if the government is suspicious, it will be bad to check one person at a time." β
Xia Xun said calmly: "I arranged the bodies of Qiu Xia, Cao YΓΉ Guang, and Wisteria to everything, and the scene was arranged in a confusing manner, as if sympathetic killing. If Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan were shrewd enough, they would not have investigated with great fanfare at this time, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city would be suspicious of each other and panicked. However, the only thing that worries people is Cao YΓΉ Guang's Lao Tzu, he doesn't have many people available, and if he himself comes to check the officers and soldiers guarding the city one by one, he will recognize me......"
Ximen Qing sighed and said faintly: "If you think about it carefully, the trouble of my ascension was all brought to me by you Yang Xu." Originally, I was at ease in Yanggu County, so I was not comfortable. It's all you kid, who came to me from Qingzhou and dragged me to Beiping with you, almost causing death. Well, now that I'm in Jinan, I'm actually dragged into the water by you again, and I've become a prisoner of the imperial court. β
Xia Xun patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't say it's like a resentful woman, okay?" What's wrong with me dragging you to Beiping, if you don't go to Peking with me, can you get such a charming little lady? This kind of blessing is something that my brother fought for you. Follow the brothers, there are benefits for you......"
Ximen Qing said stupidly: "What's the benefit?" Can you find me another little lady who is like a flower? β
Nan Feifei was not angry when he heard this, and pinched him fiercely, Ximenqing was in pain, and hurriedly laughed and said: "Good lady, aren't I talking angry." β
Xia Xun glanced at Nan Feifei and said with a smile: "Feifei, look at your gentle appearance now, you really look like a little woman, but do you already have a child?" β
Nan Feifei glanced at Ximenqing, and replied shyly: "Not yet......
Ximen Qing glared at Xia Xun and snorted, "Don't tease my wife, say!" Now what? β
Xia Xun frowned and said: "Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan, in order to prevent deserters and collaborators, there have always been patrolling soldiers guarding the city, and the tools that should be able to climb out of the city have also been confiscated. If there is really a danger of being discovered, I will have to flee into the city, and now there are countless empty houses, and it is still easy to hide, but ...... Eating is a big problem. β
Ximenqing thought for a while and said: "It seems that there is only this way, let's eat, I'll figure out a way, although I can't eat enough...... and I will not starve you to death. β
"Brother Simon......"
Xia Xun held his hand and shook it, but he didn't say a word of thanks. Da En is not grateful, Ximen Qing at the critical moment, finally stood on his side, at the moment I can't see the possibility of King Yan having a little success, see the truth in the tribulation, Ximen Qing's brotherhood, Xia Xun is unforgettable.
Xie Yufei said: "Xianggong, then should we wait for the officers and soldiers to find out about us before leaving, or will we run away now?" β
As soon as Xia Xun was about to answer, he heard a commotion in the city, and the sound of bangzi rang out on the spot, and someone shouted: "The Yan army is attacking at night......
β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»β»
The night attack of the Yan army only lasted for a short time, and the Yan army had similar night attacks before, and its real purpose was just to make it difficult for the defenders in the city to rest, and this time it seemed to be the same, and when the defenders continued to rush to the head of the city and wait, the Yan army withdrew, just sporadically sent some arrows to the head of the city.
But the officers and soldiers defending the city soon appeared, this time it was different from the previous night raids, because many arrows were tied to the shafts of the arrows, at this time many of the soldiers and civilians defending the city were forced to leave the refugees out of the city to be used as cannon fodder, and the siege of the city for more than two months, and the strength to walk and even defend the city of the strong men, were originally relatively wealthy, so they persevered until this moment.
Most of these people have the conditions to read privately, so they will naturally be more or less literate, so under the torch, one letter after another was opened, and when the official began to collect the letter of King Yan, the content had spread rapidly throughout Jinan City.
"If it doesn't fall, the Yan army will divert water to flood Jinan?"
Ximen Qing was shocked and said: "It's bad, it's bad, Feifei, let's escape with Yang Xu and them." β
"Where to escape?"
Nan Feifei reprimanded angrily: "The flood entered the city, a piece of Ze country, hiding in the people's houses, ...... is not as high as the head of this city." β
"What should I do, what should I do, I am really going to die in the city now."
Xia Xun's face changed, and he suddenly thought of an extremely important matter, and blurted out: "Flooding Jinan City? Big things are not good! β
Ximenqing said with a bitter face: "We were not starved to death, we were not beaten to death, but in the end we were drowned alive, and we couldn't escape death after all, of course it's not good." β
Xia Xun shook his head slowly: "You can't escape first, this city ...... I've got to keep it! β
Xiqingmen mourned: "If you want to escape, there is nowhere to escape, brother!" β
Only Xie Yufei seemed to hear what Xia Xun was saying, she glanced at Xia Xun and saw that his face was extremely solemn, but there was not much panic about the imminent death.
On the tower of the city gate, the top floor of the three-story city tower has been flattened by the war, and in the second-floor building, Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan and others have heavy faces, and in front of them, there is a pile of collected letters, most of which have been opened by the officers and soldiers guarding the city.
Because of his son's inexplicable tragic death, Lord Cao, who was indignant, also had to temporarily put aside his son's affairs and participate in the military plane, he said worriedly: "The army's spirit has been weakened, and I am afraid that this city will not be able to be defended." The army and the people defend the city, they still hope that they will be forced to retreat the Yan army, and there will be a large army of the imperial court to break the siege, but now as long as the Yan army diverts water to irrigate the city, Jinan will be broken, and everyone will die without a place to be buried, who still has the heart to defend the city? β
Sheng Yong said anxiously: "This official has just come back from patrolling the city, and the officers and soldiers of our guard are still calmer, but those who have captured the people who came to the city are extremely frightened, and now they account for at least half of the troops defending the city, if they don't want to defend it, this city will be broken by the Yan army without flooding." β
Tie Xuan said: "So what, do you and I have to sacrifice the city and obey Yan Yi?" Ladies and gentlemen, who wants to surrender and be the one who is unfaithful and unrighteous and who will be infamous for ten thousand years? β
Sheng Yong, Gao Wei and Master Cao hurriedly said: "We are loyal to the emperor, how can we have such intentions, but I am worried that once King Yan uses this desperate plan, our months of hard work will be in vain, and Jinan City will not be able to be defended, so we are at a loss." β
Tie Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, this official has a plan, maybe he can get rid of Yan Rebel." β
Sheng Yong said movingly: "What is Lord Tie's plan, tell me quickly." β
Tie Xuan elaborated on the plan he had just thought, and Sheng Yong hesitated: "This ......, Lord Tie, you have to think clearly." If this plan succeeds, the Yan army will naturally collapse without attacking, and the siege of Jinan can be solved. But once the city fails, ...... defend the city since ancient times, it is a last resort, and it is not possible to surrender by fraud, and the defenders of the city surrender by fraud, once the city is broken, there is a fear of slaughtering the city, and the soldiers and civilians in the city cannot be protected. β
Tie Xuan sneered: "Isn't General Sheng still having the heart to protect himself?" Yan is frenzied, and has decided to lead the water to flood the city, once our plan fails, but it is still this situation, under the flood, there is no life, the city will die together, and I am afraid of slaughtering what city, and the whipping corpse is almost the same. Now that Yan Rebellion wants to divert water to irrigate the city, the army and the people are disheartened and unable to hold on, so this is the only way to do it. If it succeeds, you and I will eliminate Yan Rebellion, keep Jinan, and become famous; Defeated, then the king of Yan is furious, the whole city of the army and the people have no luck, just to cut off the heart of the enemy, the city is in the people, the city is dead! β
Master Cao said in his heart: "King Yan's desperate plan is to bΔ« us surrender, and your desperate plan is to cut off our back road to surrender." Seeing that Sheng Yong, Gao Wei and others had no objections, although he slandered, he didn't dare to show it.
Tie Xuan stood up and said loudly: "You and I read the books of sages, what have you learned?" Eat the king's lu, be loyal to the king, serve the king, and shine for a thousand years! Death is a dead ear, and it is exactly what it deserves! β

The four cities of Jinan, except for the east city, have long been completely blocked, in the middle of the night, the people who were guarding the head of the east city were all transferred, replaced by the henchmen of the supervision team, only the torches were bright from afar, and they didn't know what they were doing under the city gate.
At dawn, Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan and others gathered the defenders, and the defenders in the city knew that the Yan army was about to burst the embankment and flood the city, and the people were panicked.
Tie Xuan said sadly: "The Yan army has been besieging the city for more than two months, and the soldiers and civilians of the whole city have done their best to defend and serve the king. Now the city is becoming more and more difficult, the imperial court reinforcements have not been seen for a long time, last night the Yan army shot into the city, saying that if the city is not dedicated, it will lead water to irrigate the city, and the stone will be burned. We will wait for the shepherd to guard the side, report to the court, and go down to Anlishu. Today, the soldiers and civilians of Jinan have been holding on to the lonely city for two months, with countless casualties and pillows, and they have been loyal to the imperial court. Therefore, ......, I consulted with you and resolved to ...... Surrender the city! β
As soon as these words came out, the cheers were thunderous, and hundreds of people shouted wildly, it was many soldiers, and there was a relieved smile on their faces, and the Yan army outside the city did not know why, and suddenly heard the movement in the city, and immediately strengthened their vigilance, but if they looked closely, they said that there were bursts of cheering voices from the city, and they couldn't help but be surprised.
Tie Xuanrong shouted wildly for a while, and then pressed his hands down slightly, and continued: "This official has selected a few officials, and they are ready to go out of the city to discuss with His Royal Highness King Yan to surrender the city......
The three civil officials came out in response and looked around at the people, one of them was Yi Jiayi, who was also Xia Xun's old acquaintance, and Xia Xun, who was already invisible in the crowd, lowered his head again.
Tie Xuan said again: "In order to let His Royal Highness King Yan understand the sincerity of the soldiers and civilians in my city, I also have to invite a few fathers and elders to go together, therefore, please nominate a few people to come out and go to the military camp of His Royal Highness King Yan with the envoy of this official." β
As soon as he heard this, Xia Xun's head drooped even lower.
