Chapter 114: In the City of Wuchang

The Wuchang City mentioned here is actually Jiangxia County, and Wuchang County is in the east of Wuchang City and has been included in Zhang Xuan's command.

Wuchang is the famous three towns of Wuhan in later generations.

Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang are divided by the Yangtze River and the Han River. Zhang Xuan's army approached, never approaching the city of Wuchang from the land. Zhang Xuan sent people to surround Emperor Hongguang to swagger under the city, in order to recruit the people of Wuchang City, the soldiers left behind in Wuchang City, known as 100,000, but in fact only 10,000 or 20,000, most of them were defeated soldiers, and a few were recruited people in the city.

Tang Wang was dressed in military uniform, standing at the head of the city, looking at it clearly with a clairvoyant mirror, it was Hongguang himself, but the corners of his mouth gritted his teeth slightly, his hand pressed on the clairvoyant mirror, and his knuckles turned white, he took a deep breath, and immediately recovered, he laughed. looked confident, and said: "The thief is poor, the thief is a division in June, and he has been fighting for several months, and the veterans of the division are tired, and now there is nothing to be done, and it is too much to underestimate this king with a district drama to defraud the city?" ”

"If the thief comes again, shoot him or die."

"Yes." The soldiers who defended the city listened to the order.

Fortunately, during the period of Hongguang in Wuchang, he lived in a simple place and rarely had contact with the people below, so there were not many people who knew Emperor Hongguang in the city, and the order of King Tang could still be implemented.

However, Tang Wang knew that paper could not contain fire. This news will definitely be leaked, and then Wuchang City will not be able to hold it at all, and what worries King Tang even more is that Hongguang has been captured, and the court has no leader, what should I do.

Although he was worried, his face should not be pale, no matter how worried he was, he had to do what was in front of him first.

"Woohoo." The sound of long arrows breaking through the sky, these long arrows are set towards Hongguang.

However, the soldiers sent by Zhang Xuan to Hongguang's side were all very alert, and when they heard the sound, they immediately reacted, and one shield after another was erected, blocking Hongguang inside, Hongguang only heard the sound of long arrows nailed to the shield.

A cold sweat broke out on his back.

Seeing that the head of the city responded like this, the group pulled Hongguang back.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, the people in the city, but until Your Majesty dies, Your Majesty has no intention of revenge. ”

Hongguang said: "The king of the dead country deserves to die. ”

After saying this, he closed his eyes and said nothing, looking like he was waiting for death.

Zhang Xuan sighed in his heart: "I remember that Hongguang is very incompetent, but I don't want to have a bit of hard bones." ”

Along the way, Zhang Xuan wanted Hongguang to come forward to persuade him to surrender, but he tried his best to force him with a sword, but Hongguang just didn't say a word, he was in a hurry, and he just wanted to die. never meant to beg Zhang Xuan for mercy.

Zhang Xuan didn't care either, and said: "In the past two days, let him go to the city for a walk if he has time, and remember to protect his safety." ”

"Yes." Lou Lei said.

When the army first arrived, it had not yet gained a firm foothold, and Zhang Xuan was only 30,000 people around him, because he had occupied a lot of prefectures and counties along the way, and he had to leave troops to garrison, and after the arrival of the army, he would return to the team one by one. And Zhang Xuan also decided not to attack Wuchang in a hurry.

It is necessary to leave Wuchang City to Luo Rucai.

Zhang Xuan's command has taken over Hongguang, and he has already been in the limelight. If Wuchang City is taken again, the limelight will be too strong, but it will not be a good thing. So even if Wuchang rubbed his hands and got it, Zhang Xuan still wanted to wait. Not to mention that Zuo Liangyu is still in the city, although Zhang Xuan feels that Zuo Liangyu is most likely seriously ill and can't be a director.

But Zuo Liangyu didn't breathe for a day, so he couldn't take a peep.

It's just that he doesn't know how quickly the form in the city is developing.

Tang Wang returned to his mansion, closed the door, and sat on the Taishi chair at once, his iron armor hitting the wood with a "bang" sound.

"Your Highness, but you're in a bad mood?" Tang Queen Zeng said. As he spoke, he drove away the servants next to him, poured a cup of tea for King Tang with his own hands and said: "Your Royal Highness is in an important position, and he is cautious in his words and deeds at any time, although he is in the mansion, he is not without the eyes of outsiders." ”

Tang Wang said: "With you, I can rest assured." ”

The king and queen of Tang are also a husband and wife in distress.

King Tang has a series of ups and downs, and Queen Zeng has experienced it with him, especially in the high wall of Fengyang, King Tang was locked in the high wall, it was Queen Zeng who worked hard, walked around for King Tang, bribed eunuchs, etc., it can be said that he smashed all his dowry into it.

If it hadn't been, King Tang might not have been able to stand out of the high wall one day.

After he came to Wuchang, Hongguang rewarded twelve beauties because of the Tang King's support for the dragon's merits, but the Tang King never touched, just used as a maid, and Zeng Hou was also a scholarly family. Knowledgeable, is the Tang King's mentor and friend, many things Tang Wang discussed with the Empress Zeng, with the wrist of the Empress Zeng, the matter of the backyard is not a problem at all.

Tang Wang sometimes said that if Empress Zeng was a man, the title of the gold list would be just idle.

"What the hell is going on?" The queen said, "Can't you tell me?" ”

Tang Wang's face twitched twice, and he said, "What can't be said." Your Majesty----, Your Majesty-----, Your Majesty is in the hands of thieves. ”

"What?" Empress Zeng was taken aback and said, "Your Highness has been mistaken. ”、

There was a hint of annoyance in Tang Wang's voice, and he said, "How dare I be wrong about such a big thing." ”

This trace of anger is not just directed at anyone.

Zeng Hou's face sank, Zeng Hou is now in her early thirties, her demeanor has retreated from childishness, bright and glamorous, but also has a solemn temperament, she paced in the room and said: "Your Highness, this Wuchang City can't be defended, or go quickly." ”

Tang Wang shook his head and said, "I won't leave." This Wuchang City was originally a dead place, the outside is a soldier who can be helped, and the inside is a city that can be defended, and now within half a year, Wuchang is not a reinforcement, and the situation in the city is less than half a year later. ”

"It's not going to be kept. After taking this errand, Lone never thought about getting out of Wuchang City alive. ”

"Your Highness's heart," Zeng Hou said: "Why don't you know that if the concubine stays, isn't it to die with Your Highness." It's just that the times are different, and now that Your Majesty has fallen into the hands of thieves, will the civil and military officials who leave with Your Majesty safe? ”

"The thieves' attack is so ferocious, if the dragons are leaderless, how can they resist the thieves' attack."

"Who does Your Highness think can take on the big responsibility, is King Lu?"

When King Tang heard King Lu, he frowned.

The first thing he remembered was the long bamboo nails on King Lu's hands. He knew that the outside world's evaluation of Hongguang was not good, but he felt that King Lu was estimated to be better than Hongguang.

"I'm afraid King Lu won't take on the big responsibility." Tang Wang said.

Zeng Hou said: "If King Lu can't do it, then wouldn't His Highness have a chance?" ”

Tang Wang's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Because among the clans gathered in Wuchang City, only King Lu is the queen of Emperor Wanli, and the bloodline closest to Chongzhen is the most qualified, and if King Lu can't do it, then he has to choose from the other kings, but the bloodline is not the most important.

Tang Wang has a chance. Zeng Hou knew his pillow person best, and knew that Tang Wang had the idea of making contributions in his heart, which was caused by his special childhood, otherwise he would not have thrown himself into the Fengyang high wall because of King Qin's affairs. said: "Lord He should have fled, otherwise today the city is not only Your Majesty, but also Lord He, His Royal Highness has an old relationship with Lord He, with the power of Lord He, there may not be no competition." The situation in the world is like this, and it is the right time to give in. ”

"Your Highness must not miss it."

Tang Wang only felt that this sentence had reached his heart.

Yes, it's the right thing to do.

It's not that he covets power, but that among the vassal kings today, there is no one who has achieved anything except him. In order to turn the tide and revive the country, even if the ancestors and ancestors have spirits in heaven, they will bless him to ascend the throne.

King Tang suddenly thought of something and said, "It's just that Lone abandoned the city and fled. How to face the world? ”

Tang Wang was actually moved, but he couldn't get over his face. I couldn't think of a good way to get the best of both worlds for a while.

But at this moment, he heard someone break in outside, fell to his knees on the ground, and said, "Your Highness is not good." ”

"Tell me something slowly." Tang Wang said.

"The left army, the left army opened the city gate and ran up the river." The man said.
