Tai'an Mansion, the original big city of Shandong, even in front of the flood beasts, is still majestic, but in a few days, it has completely changed.

Outside the city, the mountains were all over the place, and there were mobs everywhere.

Every day, people burn, kill, loot and loot for the only resources they have.

Weak beings simply can't survive here.

Human life is trampled like mustard!

Several leaders who have become climate leaders will meet in Nanshantou to discuss the great cause of opposing tyranny and raising the banner of righteousness.

However, their first steps are not yet complete.

Take Tai'an and kill the dog Qincha!

Compared with the outside of the city, where the fire is in the sky every day and the cries of killing are incessant, the inside of the city seems quiet and eerie.

Thousands of victims who had gathered in the city were driven out of the shelters and squatted in the streets.

Rows of officers and men with swords and guns patrolled back and forth day and night, and the slightest movement would lead to the fall of people's heads.

All the people in the city closed their gates, and they did not even dare to raise the fire, and they only lived with white flour every day.

They all know that something terrible has happened in Tai'an.

They feared that the next moment countless rioters would rush into their homes, take their belongings, "seduce" their wives and daughters, and then kill them.

The heavily guarded Tai'an Mansion.

Dozens of officials and masters in the mouths of the common people are waiting here, waiting for the judgment from inside.

"Escort Jiang, is Your Highness awake?"

The cold guards with knives walked out, and everyone hurriedly got up and asked each other, their eyes were earnest, as if the people inside were their biological parents, if they heard bad news, old tears would definitely flow down from the ravine's old face in an instant.

Jiang Huwei said coldly: "Your Highness summoned the political envoy, the commander of the western class in front of the palace, the Tai'an garrison, and the Tai'an Tongzhi five adults to enter. ”

"Yes."

The five people who were named immediately stepped forward, and then entered the inner hall with the guards beside the second prince.

In the inner hall, there are a lot of people.

The bead curtain opened, and several famous doctors in Tai'an City came out, shaking their heads one by one.

Inside the curtain, the eunuchs were busy.

The five of them didn't dare to say anything to disturb, so they just stood quietly outside.

After a while, the voice of Han Zhilian, a close confidant of the second prince, came from inside:

"Your Highness asked, how is Tai'an's situation now?"

The political envoy hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and said: "The city has stabilized, although there are thousands of displaced people, but they are all under the control of the government, as for the outside of the city"

He didn't dare to say.

If the second prince dies in a rage because of his words, then he will be in big trouble.

The Tai'an garrison did not have as many scruples as him, so he stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, tens of thousands of homeless people outside the city have rioted, and there are less than 2,000 officers and soldiers under the lowly position, and they have to divide troops to take care of the homeless people in the city.

Now that the mob outside the city has begun to cut down trees and make instruments, in the long run, Tai'an will definitely not be able to hold on, so he asks His Highness to make plans as soon as possible. ”

If you plan early, you will abandon the city and evacuate.

However, there are mobs all around, and if there are not enough soldiers and horses to cover them, how can they evacuate?

What's more, His Highness now

Rao is Han Zhihuan has always been conceited and intelligent, and at this time, he didn't feel that something was wrong.

He was silent, and no one in the spacious room dared to speak.

At this time, I suddenly heard a voice as low as a mosquito and a fly: "Qingzhou"

Han Zhihuan has been with the second prince for many years, and when he heard it, he understood what His Royal Highness meant, and immediately said:

"Your Highness asked, who can go to Qingzhou to transfer troops?"

No one answered.

Han Zhihuan said without giving up: "Your Highness asks, who dares to hold His Highness's seal letter and go to Qingzhou to transfer troops to rescue the driver?" ”

Still no one answered.

There were tens of thousands of mobs outside, and there was a shortage of soldiers and major generals in the city, so it was expected that not many soldiers and horses could be sent to escort them out of the city.

If you go to Qingzhou in such a situation, there will definitely be death and no life.

Moreover, among the five people, the political envoy and the Tongzhi are civil officials, and the garrison needs to guard the city, and the duty of the commander of the forbidden army is to guard the safety of the second prince.

Therefore, no one dared to speak.

"Willing to do it!"

It was not the officials in the palace, but the Jiang guards who had summoned everyone in before.

Han Zhihuan was suddenly overjoyed, and praised: "Jiang Escort is loyal and courageous, admire it below, and when Jiang Escort returns after his success, he will personally add wine to Jiang Guard's pot to congratulate!" ”

Jiang Huwei didn't look at Han Zhilian, but just looked at the second prince, but unfortunately the second prince who was handsome in the past was already weak at this time, so he could only give him a look of encouragement.

With just one look, he was immediately satisfied.

After Qingzhou's request for help was agreed, the garrison said: "Your Highness, if the city wall is unstable, I implore Your Highness to execute the displaced people in the city in order to transfer back troops to defend the city and wait for support from all sides." ”

There was a long silence, and then a trembling voice said: "Quasi"

Tai'an was trapped, and the second prince sent people to Qingzhou to transfer troops.

All put their hopes above reinforcements.

They didn't know that the 5,000 soldiers and horses under the account of Qingzhou Jiedu had silently marched towards Tai'an.

On a high hill a few miles outside the city of Tai'an, two horsemen and horses stand in the distance.

Qingzhou Jiedu envoy has passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, he stroked his long beard, turned back to a young man beside him and said:

"After this incident, Jia Gongzi is not afraid of the crime of the imperial court to treat the prince of false transmission of holy decrees? Is it worth it to take responsibility for the mistakes of others that do not belong to you? ”

In fact, the people around him are not white, and they have more than one official rank, but they are all too low for his rank.

If it is commensurate with the official rank, he feels that it is a little disrespectful, so he takes the name of the son.

Jia Baoyu slowly withdrew his gaze from a distance, and when he heard the questions of the people around him, he smiled and said:

"For the sake of His Royal Highness, for the sake of the 100,000 people in Tai'an City, why is it not worth it?

Besides, I am a relative of the emperor, and the court may not punish me for my crimes, maybe I will be taken care of, what does Master Jiang think? ”

"Huh."

The Qingzhou Festival envoy smiled.

The emperor's relatives are worthless in the face of such a thing.

He didn't know where Jia Baoyu's ease came from, but he knew that this matter had nothing to do with him.

On the contrary, Jia Baoyu brought him a chance to be promoted and make a fortune, and he should be grateful to him.

When Jia Baoyu saw his expression, he didn't explain, and continued:

"Lord Jiang can see the black crowd, with two thousand cavalry, do you have a chance of winning?"

Speaking of military affairs, the Qingzhou Jiedu envoy suddenly sneered: "A group of native chickens who have received the great favor of the imperial court and do not know how to be grateful, killing me will only defile the knife under my hand."

Not to mention 2,000 cavalry, it is 1,000, and this general can kill them and scatter them in all directions! ”

Jia Baoyu did not deny it.

Indeed, a group of unarmed outcasts, facing a regular army, had little ability to resist.

"Since this is the case, then there is no need to wait for the rear army, Lord Jiang can drive straight in, and enter the city first to ensure the safety of His Highness!"

When the Qingzhou Jiedu envoy heard this, he wanted to beat his horse and leave, and then stopped, and couldn't help but turn around and ask: "Didn't Gongzi Jia tell me not to kill innocents indiscriminately?" ”

Jia Baoyu turned around.

"You must know that every time General Ben kills one more person at this time, he will have an extra credit. But for Jia Gongzi and the people who went south with His Highness to provide disaster relief, every person who died was a sin

Besides, it is said that scholars should be benevolent, so Jia Gongzi will not intercede for those innocent victims? ”

Qingzhou Jiedu said seriously, he couldn't help but want to see the details of this young and unseemly person from Beijing.

Jia Baoyu sighed:

"Lord Jiang looked at the mountains and forests, they were no longer disaster victims, but mobs with knives, guns, sticks, sticks, and even siege weapons

Everyone who takes up arms and harms others, for whatever reason, cannot be considered innocent.

However, Master Jiang reminded me.

Although the merit can make Lord Jiang an official and a knight, it may also wake up Lord Jiang at midnight.

Therefore, for those who have not resisted, I hope that Lord Jiang can restrain his subordinates and not make more killings.

It's not for the sake of the face of those who go south for disaster relief like us, but just to ask for peace of mind in Lord Jiang's later years. ”

Jia Baoyu's calm words made Qingzhou Jiedu's eyes change.

After being silent for a while, he hugged his fists and said: "The old man has been taught, if Jia Gongzi can govern the court in the future, he will definitely teach me the great Xuanguo Tai Min'an, and the old man is looking forward to the day when he will be a minister in the same hall with his son."

It's a pity that the old man won't be able to see that day. ”

After the Qingzhou Jiedu envoy finished speaking, he shook his head and rode down the mountain.

There are talented people in the country, but he is already old.

Jia Baoyu turned around and watched the veteran go away, he said slowly: "Perhaps, on this day, you still have a chance to see it, because it won't come too late."
