The three soldiers outside the city, continuous and shocking, have already alarmed everyone in the city. Moreover, the soldiers outside the city are all fully armed cavalry, there is not a single infantry walking on the ground, and the cavalry of more than 10,000 people alone is enough to be proud of the group wherever it is placed, not to mention that these cavalry troops are all one man and two horses, and they are fully armored. This momentum has not been seen even when the Song army was in its heyday.

In the Song Army, it is not very good to be able to have one horse per person, and even a thousand cavalry is only enough for more than 700 people to have war horses, and the remaining 300 or so people are just used as reserve cavalry, doing the business of the infantry army.

The officers on duty at the head of the city had already run down the city to report to Tong Guan.

Tong Guan has been difficult to eat these days, and he is worried. He Si sent his henchman He Si to send a letter back, and He Si said that Zhou Nan, Yang Keshi and others were not in the cottage, saying that they were in Yanjing City. Tong Guan was half happy and half sad in his heart, happy that Yang Keshi didn't have to meet King Yun for the time being, and worried that Yang Keshi didn't know if there was a way to break King Yun's plan.

If King Yun fails to make this plan, it will be Wang Jinjing, the old man, who has failed to plot to kill him, and he still has the means to deal with it. If Yang Keshi is taken down, Zhou Nan is coerced by King Yun, and Yanjing City is recaptured by King Yun, then he will have to follow Yang Keshi unlucky.

King Yun invited himself to the post house every day these days to drink and have fun with him, as if Zhou Nan and Yang Keshi had already become his slaves, and Yanjing City had already fallen into his hands. King Yun was so gracious, Tong Guan had no choice but to accompany him.

It's just that Tong Guan is not without gains.

In Tong Guan's observation in the past few days, he found a person with the same sad face as him, Geng Nanzhong, the prince's right concubine.

This old boy originally came to Xiongzhou City with Zhao Kai, the king of Yun. It's just that Geng Nanzhong is a member of the prince's faction, and the opponent of the prince's faction, King Yun's faction, King Yun came in person. So Geng Nanzhong just tried to be as silent as possible, without any sense of existence. It's almost to the point where others will forget about him when they turn their faces.

This is the case with Tong Guan.

Tong Guan has been spending his energy on Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, and has been accompanying the king of Yun all the time, where would he think of the prince's right concubine. Besides, even if Tong Guan noticed it, Tong Guan didn't dare to talk to Geng Nanzhong in front of King Yun - being involved with Shangguan's political enemies is a taboo, and Tong Guan naturally won't understand it.

It's just that in the past few days, Tong Guan was depressed in his heart, and he actually "sought the same breath", and his eyes actually noticed Geng Nanzhong; And what is even more coincidental is that Geng Nanzhong seems to have sent him frequently.

Tong Guan finally found an opportunity and exchanged a few words with Geng Nanzhong. Two people who are under the same roof naturally don't need to test for a long time, just a little conversation, they already know each other's situation and thoughts, and the two don't talk much at the moment, so they still pretend to ignore each other.

Both of them are in a bad situation now, Tong Guan is because of Yang Keshi's involvement, and even because of the previous three times to send troops to attack Liao, but there is no complete success, and even Yanjing City was lost in the end, and the army was defeated and returned; Geng Nanzhong is because of the crown prince, the prince and the three princes are fighting openly and secretly, and they have reached the point where the Manchu Dynasty knows everything about civil and military affairs. This time, the three princes took the initiative to attack, if it succeeded, the prince was afraid that he would lose the position of the prince, and Geng Nanzhong, as the prince's right concubine, could only follow the prince. The ending of the "former prince" will be known to anyone.

Both of them are now waiting, waiting for a chance to turn over.

Today, Tong Guan finally waited, although he didn't know if this opportunity could make him turn over, at least there was a sign of this.

Tong Guan was in high spirits, and there was a smile on his face, as if the soldiers outside the city were not here to attack Xiongzhou, but to tell him stories and sing operas.

The messenger was strange, but he didn't dare to ask. Tong Guan was not at ease, and asked again: "You look carefully, there are indeed 20,000 cavalry?" "Second Chinese Network

The general replied affirmatively: "The cavalry is all one man and two horses, and the east, north, and west sides of the city are surrounded by impermeable, and I am afraid that there are fewer than 20,000 horses." ”

"You said there was a big cart in the cavalry?" Tong Guan asked again.

"Exactly. At first glance, the carriage was ridden by a noble person, and it was gorgeous. The villain has never seen it. "The general is unabashed, telling the truth.

Tong Guan nodded, Fanren can have 20,000 cavalry, and they are all one person and two horses, it can be seen that Fanren is an elite soldier this time. 40,000 horses, if they are in their own hands, one person and one horse, and some infantry troops are installed, I am afraid that they will be used as 60,000 cavalry.

There are 20,000 elite cavalry soldiers, whether Zhou Nan or Yang Keshi comes or not, it is enough for King Yun to deal with it.

Tong Guan said immediately: "Follow me to the post house and report to King Yun." "King Yun with the official edict, the edict has ordered him to hand over the power of the former general to the king of Yun Zhao Kai to deal with, and now he naturally wants to report to the king of Yun Zhao Kai about the siege of the city.

Tong Guan and the general who reported the news rode to the post house, and the people of the post house had already heard the movement outside the city, and they were all waiting in the post house in panic.

Only Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, is also as excited as Tong Guan. King Yun came to Xiongzhou in order to fight with the soldiers, take these soldiers as his subordinates, and work hard for himself. Now that the soldiers are here, as the king of Yun who is single-handedly handling this matter, he is naturally happy.

Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, saw Tong Guan and a small school walking in, and hurriedly asked Tong Guan: "Are the soldiers coming outside the city?" ”

Tong Guan replied: "Exactly, it is reported that there are 20,000 cavalry troops outside the city, surrounding the east, north and west of Xiongzhou City, shouting and shouting, and the comers are not good. ”

Although King Yun was surprised, he felt even more excited. If he was greedy for comfort, he would not have begged his father and came to Xiongzhou in person.

At that moment, King Yun didn't ask the general, but said: "Even if the soldiers are coming, Tong Xuanshuai can accompany me to the city to watch and see which soldiers are coming." After speaking, he asked his subordinate officials of the Imperial City Division to take out a pair of armor, and said to Tong Guan with a smile: "Seeing that I insisted on coming here, my father specially gave me this pair of purple gold dragon pattern chain mail to protect me. As he spoke, he asked his men to help him put on his armor and put on a helmet of Tongtian.

Zhao Kai was already with sword eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, but now he is neatly draped and wearing a pair of hard-soled soap boots, which is even more heroic, proud, and has a compelling momentum.

Tong Guan couldn't help but praise: "The third prince is really a hero!" ”

Zhao Kai smiled slightly, but he was not humble, and said: "You can follow me to the city to see what those soldiers are capable of." ”

The general who reported the news led the way in front, and Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, strode behind, Tong Guan was wrongly behind, followed by the king of Yun, an official of the Imperial City Division, and Geng Nanzhong, the right concubine of the East Palace, who was not welcomed, and the group hurried towards the city.

When they arrived at the top of the city, they looked outside the city and were taken aback, including the third prince Zhao Kai, who was still full of pride just now.
