Chapter 575: The Emperor's Scheming

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

The person in front of him was both strange and familiar to Sun Ji and Li Gong.

The reason why they are strange is that they have only met Liu Xiu once, and they can't speak at all, and with their level, it is difficult to get close to Liu Xiu and say a word. The reason why they are familiar is that they are too impressed by Liu Xiu, they are young, they are still self-made, but they can call the emperor the Son of Heaven, and they have no domineering, self-respecting attitude, but treat people modestly and politely, and the two of them want to treat Liu Xiu

It's hard to be impressed.

At this time, I can see the appearance of the young man in front of me clearly, is this not Liu Xiu or who? Sun Ji and Li Gong stared in disbelief, opened their mouths wide, and were stunned and stupid for a while.

Liu Xiu smiled slightly and asked, "Sun County Commander and Li County Lieutenant, but you don't know me?" ”

Sun Ji and Li Gong suddenly came back to their senses, and the two of them were shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "Weichen greets Your Majesty!" ”

They never dreamed that the Son of Heaven would be in Juancheng, and they also helped them capture Wei Heng, one of the leaders of the Five School Army.

Liu Xiu waved his hand to the two of them and said, "Don't be polite, let's be flat!" ”

Waiting for Sun Ji and Li Gong to straighten up, Liu Xiu said: "This time I happened to pass by Juancheng, and I just happened to bump into the attack of the thief army, and my identity is not easy to reveal for the time being. ”

Now, Sun Ji and Li Gong's minds were blank, and they looked at Liu Xiu dumbfoundedly and nodded instinctively. Liu Xiu said: "You two can call me Jin Gongzi." ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! Sun Ji and Li Gong both responded.

Liu Xiu sighed secretly and said again: "Just call me Jin Gongzi." ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! Sun Ji and Li Gong said in unison again.

Liu Xiu stopped talking, but looked at the two of them with deep eyes and helplessness. Sun Ji and Li Gong glanced at each other, suddenly came back to their senses, and the two hurriedly changed their words and said, "Your Majesty...... Uh, Jin Gongzi! ”

"Hmm!" Liu Xiu nodded with satisfaction, and he asked, "Do you know what the casualties in the city are now?" ”

Sun Ji hurriedly kowtowed forward and said, "Return to Your Majesty......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Gong coughed dryly beside him, and Sun Ji hurriedly said again: "Go back...... Returning to Jin Gongzi, the casualties of the people in the city have not yet been counted, there are 2,000 county soldiers, and now counting the wounded, there are less than 900. ”

Liu Xiu asked again: "Have you sent someone to ask the county government for help?" ”

"When the thief army attacked Juancheng yesterday, Weichen had already sent a message to the county government Feige, asking the county government to send troops to help." Sun Ji Zhengse said.

"Good." For Sun Ji's response, Liu Xiu is quite satisfied. He said with a smile: "Sun County Commander and Li County Lieutenant, in the face of a strong enemy, fought tenaciously, and would rather die than surrender, they deserve to be commended!" ”

Hearing this, Sun Ji and Li Gong's eyes were both red, and it was worth it even if it was death to be so appreciated by the Son of Heaven.

The two of them kowtowed in both directions again, choked up and said: "Loyalty to the country and to His Majesty is the duty of the ministers, and they dare not take credit!" ”

Liu Xiu stood up, walked up to the two of them, helped them up, and said: "Sun County Commander and Li County Lieutenant don't have to be so polite, I have already said that I am not the Son of Heaven now, but the golden son of business." ”

"Yes, yes, Weichen understands! Wechen understands! Sun Ji and Li Gong nodded like pounded garlic.

Liu Xiu glanced at the two of them and asked, "What are the next plans for the two of you?" ”

Sun Ji and Li Gong looked at each other, and the former said: "Jin Gongzi, Weichen thinks that he should behead Wei Heng first, and avenge the soldiers who died in battle and the people who died in vain!" ”

Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "I promised Wei Heng that as long as the thief army is willing to withdraw from Juxian County, I will let him go back." ”

Sun Ji and Li Gong gasped and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't do it!" Wei Heng is one of the leaders of the five school thieves, and letting Wei Heng go is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain! I hope Your Majesty will think twice! ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Sun County Commander and Li County Lieutenant are reasonable, but if I do what the two of them want, won't I become a villain who goes back on his word and has no credibility?" ”

Sun Ji and Li Gong both shuddered, hurriedly lowered their heads, and whispered: "Weichen doesn't dare, Weichen doesn't have this intention......"

Liu Xiu continued: "If you kill Wei Heng, the thief army that has just withdrawn now will immediately fight back, with the current strength of Juancheng, can you keep the thief army outside the city?" ”

Sun Ji and Li Gong's heads hung lower, when the county soldiers were 2,000, they could not stop the attack of the thief army, and now the county soldiers are not even 900 people, and they can't resist the thief army.

If the thieves really fight back, everyone in the city will have only one way to die.

After being silent for a while, Liu Xiu said slowly: "I don't know the importance of Wei Heng, but now, I must not kill him." ”

After a pause, he changed his words and said: "What you two should do now is to immediately go and appease the people in the city, and in addition, borrow the people's hatred for the thief army, recruit as many strong men as possible, strengthen the city defenses, and prepare to meet the thief army's attack on the city again!" ”

Li Gong subconsciously asked, "Your Majesty...... Jin Gongzi thinks that the thief army will come to attack the city again? ”

"Wei Heng is now in our hands, the thief army has been successfully forced back by us, it should be ...... I don't think we're going to attack the city again, are we? Sun Ji also said with a surprised face. Liu Xiu sighed lightly and said, "When doing things, don't always think about the best result, and you must also plan for the worst." On the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly, and who can predict what will happen in the next moment? Be prepared for the unexpected

, always right! ”

Sun Ji and Li Gong bowed together and said, "Weichen remember the teachings of the son!" Liu Xiu's eyes drooped, and he said meaningfully: "The people in the city, the dead and wounded are not less to say, and the property and food have also been looted by the thief army.

Strengthening the city defenses and preparing for the second siege of the thief army is not a means to divert the resentment of the people. ”

To transfer the grievances of the people with the same hatred and hatred of the enemy, this can not only make the whole city unanimous with the outside world, but also digest the contradictions within oneself, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Liu Xiu considered the level of the matter, which was much higher than Sun Ji and Li Gong.

Hearing his words, Sun Ji and Li Gong both felt that they had benefited a lot, and the two bowed down again and said, "Your Majesty Shengming, Weichen has been taught. ”

Liu Xiu shook his head and said, "Okay, let's go and do things!" ”

"Your Majesty does you want to move to the county government?"

Seeing Liu Xiu looking at him with deep eyes again, Sun Ji coughed dryly, and asked again: "Son, let's go to the county government, it's safer there!" Liu Xiu said: "I'm fine here, I don't have to go anywhere, and I don't want to attract too much attention, and also, my identity, you two must not be exposed, once the thief army knows that I am in Juancheng, don't say that we are useless to arrest Wei Heng, just."

Even if they capture the king of heaven, they will also attack the city desperately. ”

Sun Ji and Li Gong nodded like pounding garlic, and responded in a loud voice: "Weichen understands!" Wechen understands! ”

"Go ahead!"

"Wechen retires!" Seeing Sun Ji and Li Gong cautiously exit the box, Liu Xiu shook his head again, the attitude of the two of them towards him was too respectful, so that people with a heart could see it, it was necessary to be suspicious, and it was better to see each other less.

Sun Ji and Li Gong regarded Liu Xiu's orders as holy decrees, and in fact, they were indeed holy decrees.

The two of them took the officials of the county government and the county soldiers to inspect all parts of the city.

In the process of inspection, they constantly called on the young and strong people in the city, encouraged people, took up arms, climbed the city wall, and fought with the county government and county soldiers to defend their homeland. Liu Xiu's trick is still very effective, some people's families were killed by the thief army, and some people's female relatives were insulted by the thief army, even the least damaged people, most of the family's property and food were robbed, the people

Now when they heard the call of the county government, the young and strong people all responded, reported to the county officials, received weapons, and climbed the city wall to defend the city.

When the army of Juancheng was at its largest, there were only 2,000 county soldiers, but now, with the addition of a large number of young and strong people, the number of people defending the city has suddenly increased to three or four thousand.

Almost all the young men in the city joined the ranks of the defenders.

Seeing this situation, Sun Ji and Li Gong all secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, His Majesty reminded him in time, and the anger of the people in the city was directed to the thief army, otherwise, the city would not know how much chaos would happen!

The accident that Liu Xiu was wary of did not happen, and after the thief army withdrew from Juxian County, they were stationed at the border of Juxian County. When Liu Xiu learned the news that the county army was about to arrive in Juancheng, he asked Fu Di to release Wei Heng. Until now, Wei Heng still regards Fu Di as the person in charge. Escorted to the city gate by Fu Di and dozens of county soldiers, he first looked at the open city gate in front of him, then turned his head, glanced around, and finally looked at Fu Di and said

"You are a man of integrity, can I know your name?" ”

Fu Yin said: "Under Fu Di! "Fu Di......" Wei Heng muttered his name, nodded, and said, "I wrote it down!" Today I am willing to let me go, even if I give my life, this kindness, I will repay it in the future, but the humiliation of being captured, I will definitely serve it in the future

Still! ”

Fu Di shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly and said, "If I were you, I would never say such nonsense now, and I would run for my life as soon as possible." As he spoke, he bowed his mouth to the city gate.

Wei Heng laughed, glanced at Fu Di deeply, and said, "It's a pity! After speaking, he strode out without looking back.

He had just stepped out of the city gate with his front feet, and with a creaking sound, the gate was closed again. Wei Heng glanced back, then quickened his pace and walked forward.

The battle of Juancheng has come to an end, and it is not about who will lose or who will win in this battle.

The Fifth School Army and the Danxiang Army have coveted Juancheng for a long time, and this attack was also planned for a long time in advance, with the purpose of capturing Juancheng in one fell swoop, but in the end, their goal was not achieved, and it was naturally not a victory.

In terms of Juancheng, although the city was saved, the losses were heavy, most of the county soldiers were killed and wounded, the people in the city were killed and wounded thousands, and almost all the property and food in the city were looted. However, after this battle, it sounded the alarm for the counties of Qinghe County and Wei County, and made the county governments realize that the Five School Army and the Danxiang Army flowing in the territory of the two counties were not defeated and rabble, but a large number of troops

Ability to capture any county seat.

Let's say that after Wei Heng was let go, it didn't take long for the Qinghe County Army to arrive in Juancheng. The entry of the county army into the city was welcomed by the people of Juancheng. The leader of the county army was Qinghe Taishou Xian.

Xian Yu Ji is not a minority, Xian Yu surname has two origins, one is from the Jizi lineage, the other is from the ethnic minority, the Han Dynasty compound surname Xian Yu, basically all are descendants of Jizi. This Jizi is the famous Yin Shang royal family, who was later enshrined and went to the Korean Peninsula to establish Jizi Joseon.
