Chang Yu doesn't like wine, but the royal food is rich and delicious, and he can eat it to his heart's content.

Zhu Xianxuan was in a high mood, the meal hardly moved chopsticks, but the wine was one cup after another, during which he frothed and flew to Chang Yu to tell Chang Yu about his heroic deeds in battle to kill the enemy and the journey in his heart.

Chang Yu smiled silently, although he was disdainful in his heart, he also understood how difficult it was for Zhu Xianxuan to take this step bravely.

"To be honest, the moment I rushed towards the thief, I really almost collapsed, and I couldn't tell whether I was scared or nervous......" Zhu Xianxuan exhaled a long breath and raised his head to dry the glass of wine.

"At that moment, I knew that fighting a war was not a child's play, and only when I saw blood did I know that war was so cruel, and only then did I know that human life was like a mustard...... Although I killed a thief, my hands are shaking until now......"

Zhu Xianxuan drank a little high, but looking at Chang Yu's gaze was very firm,

"In today's battle, the thief must have suffered pain, right?"

"Within three days, the thief army will not move again!"

Chang Yu slowly chewed a slice of beef in his mouth: "As you said, the thief was beaten!" ”

"So, will the thieves retreat?" Zhu Xianxuan's eyes lit up, and he asked with anticipation on his face.

"Possibly"

Chang Yu's face was calm: "But it may also be a stormy attack next, it depends on how the thief plans."

"Which one is more likely to be based on your guess?" Zhu Xianxuan's face was heavy.

"Half and half" Chang Yu calmly sandwiched the meat, Zhu Xianxuan poured wine and drank wildly, the wine was drunk, and the tears of choking flowed.

"Young people, drink less, hurt your body!" Chang Yu glanced up at him and said softly.

"Isn't it possible to wait until you are old, and you won't hurt yourself if you drink it when you die?" The corners of Zhu Xianxuan's mouth were raised, and he snorted coldly.

Chang Yu was silent.

In the middle of the night, Zhu Xianxuan unexpectedly got drunk again, cried at the desk and fell asleep slowly.

Tired of the bird returning to the forest, Chang Yu got up, walked outside the palace, signaled the people of the palace to enter to serve their master, and then beckoned, Tu Yuan and other personal guards immediately left the palace behind him.

As soon as the cold wind blew and the fatigue gradually subsided, Chang Yu stopped outside the south gate of the palace, and he didn't know where to go for a while.

The street is unusually quiet, the original chaos is gone, it seems that Wang Jimo and Cai Maode have basically stabilized the overall situation, plus this point, everyone who should sleep has slept.

The bell rang, and Chang Yu glanced up at the bell tower in the southwest direction, "What time is it?" ”

"Back to the adult, more than half of the child" said Ren Ren.

It was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Chang Yu meditated, and then waved his hand: "Go to the military camp in the north of the city."

So along the west wall of the palace, everyone walked towards the north, which was an important place for the yamen, and there were no people on the street.

Chang Yu's face was heavy, and he was speechless, and his entourage knew that his heart was serious, and he didn't dare to disturb each other.

Chang Yu is indeed preoccupied, and he is analyzing how likely Li Zicheng is to retreat.

As Zhu Xianxuan said before, the thief army was really beaten!

Since Jiaocheng, Chang Yu has been hanging him with a long line, pulling down the rod when he is far away, and beating him when he is close, it can be said that he has fought several times during this time, and the thief army has all been passive, and he was taken away by Chang Yu, and he was taken away.

Although the officers and men also paid a certain price for casualties, they even ordered an active attack under the pressure of everyone's incomprehension today, causing a commotion.

But the price of the thief army is even worse, along the way, within a hundred miles, the loss of soldiers will be countless.

In particular, the loss of Li Laiheng, the pioneer Li You, Bai Minghe was captured, the general Xiong Tong was demoted, Chen Shangzhi was "killed" Zhang Lingran was shot in front of the battle, and Ma Shiyao was seriously injured......

In history, Li Zicheng had no intention of expedition, and his original intention was only to sweep away the stable situation around his Dashun country, but the shop became bigger and bigger, and finally became difficult to ride a tiger, and was forced to drive ducks on the shelves.

And when it fought Taiyuan in history, the original intention was to go through the motions and make a show, to see that the high walls of the city could not be beaten down, let's go back, be a donkey down the slope, who would have thought that the officers and soldiers would take the initiative to sacrifice the city, so that he would be a little happy and sad.

And right now, the loss of troops, coupled with the strong army in Taiyuan, nearly 100,000, the city walls are thick, and the fortifications are strong, which is the best excuse for him to retreat!

But, will he retire?

In the past, Chang Yu could be sure that Li Zicheng would take the opportunity to find an excuse to withdraw his troops, but now ......

He's not sure!

The main reason is that he knows that Li Zicheng has been beaten by him!

If he can remain rational, he would have retreated early, because Chang Yu is full of confidence, he can't defeat Taiyuan City, and the brave attack for a moment is ultimately in vain, and the retreat at this time is also in line with his strategic purpose.

But after several days of battles, Li Zicheng lost his troops and did not get a little cheap, and he did not even touch the corner of the city wall, he must be angry.

I'm afraid that at this time, the thieves are interacting with heaven and man, Chang Yu sneered, although he was not sure whether the thief army would retreat or come to attack in the end, but he was sure that the city would be peaceful in the past few days.

After all, after several days of fighting, not to mention the fatigue, the morale also needs to be readjusted, and he needs time to make a decision.

"That's it, no matter whether you are walking or coming, Lao Tzu is waiting for you, and it will make your head bleed!" Chang Yu sneered and roared.

The guards behind him looked at each other, knowing what the factory governor had figured out.

"Who?"

At this moment, several guards walking in front suddenly shouted, Chang Yu was stunned, looked up, but saw that the dark street in front of him was empty.

was surprised, and was surrounded by Tu Yuan, Fan Jiaqian and others, and pushed to the corner.

"On the room!" At this time, someone else was drinking.

Whoosh, before the words fell, Chang Yu listened to the wind in his ears, and then a guard snorted in pain.

"There are assassins!" He let out a loud shout, then took his bow and aimed at the left front room, firing several arrows in succession, and the three archers around him also fired at the same time, and soon heard a scream, and the rest of the guards immediately rushed forward under the cover of bows and arrows.

Chang Yu was surrounded in the corner of the wall, unable to see the situation outside, and listening to the sound of the wind mixed with the shouting of the guards, it could be seen that there were at least a few assassins, and they were not fighting alone.

Who would dare to assassinate himself!

Chang Yu frowned, puzzled, since he left Beijing, he was only assassinated in Datong, which was done by Jiang Xuan, the general soldier of Datong, if it wasn't for the large number of people around him, he would almost have been burdened.

Datong is Jiang Jiu's territory, but Taiyuan is closed at this time, and it can be said that it is all under his control, how can an assassin assassinate him!

And what puzzled him the most was that he went to the barracks was a temporary decision, these assassins took the lead in ambushing and roofing, how did they do it, could it be that he was targeted as soon as he left the gate of the palace?

The place where the incident happened was in the administrative district on the west side of the palace, diagonally opposite the Jining Provincial Office, which was all a place of martial law, and it had always been sparsely populated, and it was forbidden for idle people to approach, and these assassins could run in front of him at such a fast speed to set up an ambush, which shows that they are all professional.

Who is behind the scenes? Who leaked his whereabouts, this is a mystery, which makes Chang Yu puzzled for a while.

The shouts and cheers rose and fell with each other, and soon became calm, the assassin was assassinated from a distance with a bow and arrow, but he was discovered by the sharp-eyed guards without revealing his tracks, and the hurried launch did not hurt Chang Yu, and it happened that Chang Yu had four archers on his side who were in a position to fight back immediately.

The shouts attracted the officers and soldiers patrolling nearby, who learned that there were assassins and immediately searched for them on a large scale.

On the Great South Gate City, Chang Yu sat in the main hall, Zhou Yuji frowned deeply, and looked silently at the few people kneeling in the hall.

These people are all Chang Yu's people, Qin Xing, Zheng Guoxing, Yan Deshou, Jiang Quan, subordinate to Dongchang, among which Jiang Quan is still Chang Yu's confidant.

However, at this time, several people were pleading.

Chang Yu was assassinated, three assassins were killed, two were captured alive, and some acquaintances escaped, and under severe torture, one of them was recruited, and he was a thief and a traitor!

This is amazing!

Suddenly Qin Xing and the others broke into a cold sweat, and several of them were ordered to take the Dongchang United Jinyi Guard and the local officers and soldiers to secretly search for the thief army, and boasted that there would not be a grain of fine sand in the sea.

Indeed, during this period of time, many secret agents were captured, and several people thought that the city was already calm and carefree.

Who knew that such a group of people suddenly appeared, and they had the audacity to assassinate Chang Yu, this responsibility, he had to bear it!

"Let's go and get ten sticks first!" Chang Yu glanced at a few people, raised his head and said lightly.

Qin Xing and the others hurriedly got up and walked outside the hall to lie down, and only Chang Yu's eunuchs were executed.

The clothes are thick in winter, but the beating with military sticks is really not light, after all, it is under Chang Yu's nose, and the executioners do not dare to release the water.

Although a few people gritted their teeth and endured the pain and didn't dare to say anything, the cold sweat on their foreheads already knew that the taste must be very sour.
