Chapter Thirty-Eight: God Help Me

When Zhang Xuan heard this, his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a few times.

He wasn't afraid, but happy.

Yes, happy.

What worries Zhang Xuan the most? The most worrying thing is that the camp outside the city, and Cao Ying felt that the siege was hopeless, so they no longer attacked the city, but walked around the city. In this way, Zhang Xuan was trapped in Nanyang City, and Zhang Xuan had just been trying to find a way out for himself, which was in this kind of worry.

At this moment, hearing that the righteous army was preparing to attack the city, Zhang Xuan finally let go of half of his heart, and pulled back all the thoughts he put on his body, trying to figure out how to deal with the outside.

"Quick, quick." Cheng Wenying said in a panic: "Send all the officials and all the strong men to the city, send people to Lord Yan, and send a letter to King Tang." There is also a sedan chair for the official, and the official wants to go to the city. ”

"Uncle." Zhang Xuan said loudly: "Little nephew, I am willing to go to the city with my uncle." ”

Chu Wufu's eyes glanced slightly, and he secretly said in his heart: "Why does this person want to send himself to death?" His suspicion of Zhang Xuan deepened again.

I have to say that the atmosphere of the late Ming Dynasty was the norm to be greedy for life and fear of death, but Zhang Xuan's volunteering was abnormal. It is useless and not suspicious.

But at this moment, Cheng Wenying had no master, and he didn't have the heart to judge Zhang Xuan's intentions at all, and said, "Okay, good." "He can't wait to send everyone from all over the world to the city at this moment, how could he refuse Zhang Xuan.

"My lord," Chu Wufu said beside Cheng Wenying's sedan chair: "This Hou Maosheng has a little problem, why does he want to go to the battlefield so actively?" Adults should worry that he has ulterior motives. ”

At this moment, Cheng Wenying didn't have the heart to care about these things at all, and said: "When, do you still have the heart to say that this will go to the city first." ”

Before the words fell, Cheng Wenying had already put down the sedan curtain, kicked heavily at the bottom of the sedan car, and said: "Get up the sedan chair, get up the sedan chair, get up the sedan quickly." ”

After a while, Cheng Wenying and his party appeared above the city. The people, the kings, and the officials were all at the head of the city. There are still large piles of rolling stones and sassalwoods on the head of the city, and the moat under the head of the city has long been a deep trench because of the drought. A large number of rogue soldiers were stationed south of the moat, showing off their might, and they looked invincible.

Zhang Xuan and Cao Zongyu also followed the group of people from the county office.

When Zhang Xuan saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"The people of the city listened." A man rode alone along the moat, galloping, while galloping, he shouted loudly: "My Cao Ying will never kill people indiscriminately, as long as the door is opened and surrendered, the autumn will not be committed, if you resist stubbornly, you will not be left behind." ”

The person who shouted, Zhang Xuan knew. It was Yang Shan.

Yang Shan's eyes were also very sharp, and he saw Zhang Xuan at a glance. He remained silent, as if he had not seen it.

"Who killed this thief for me?" Cheng Wenying shouted.

"I'll come." An officer-like man shouted out of the ranks, drew his strong bow, and shot an arrow. This person is a hundred households, and he can be regarded as the only remaining official and military general in Nanyang Mansion.

The distance between the head of the city and the city is only a few tens of meters, and it is within the range of bows and arrows.

"Collapse." With a sound, Yang Shan turned over to the horse in response. As if he had fallen off his horse, in the blink of an eye, Yang Shan got on the horse again, and held up a long arrow in his hand, which was the arrow that Qian Baihu had just shot.

Qian Baihu was very annoyed and scolded: "Thief, I think you can take a few arrows." ”

Qian Baihu shot arrows continuously, and several arrows were shot down in one go.

Yang Shan never thought that Qian Baihu still had this hand, and he didn't dare to show the means like just now, a horse, the horse jumped, and fled back, several long arrows were nailed to the ground behind Yang Shan, if Yang Shan was just a little slower, now it would be the end of the random arrow piercing the heart.

"The last general will damage the prestige of the army, and please forgive the sins." Yang Shan came to Luo Rucai, turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground and said.

"What a crime Yang Shan has." Luo Rucai stretched out his hand to help Yang Shan up and said, "But what did you find?" ”

Yang Shan said: "The prefect is obviously prepared, the distribution of the people, and the convening of Ding Zhuang, there is no obvious gap, but," Yang Shan paused slightly, and said: "I saw Zhang Xuan at the head of the city." ”

"Really?" Luo Rucai was overjoyed and said: "This city is broken. ”

Yang Shan didn't know how Zhang Xuan got to the city, how could Luo Rucai not know, now this situation made Luo Rucai, who was a little desperate, suddenly burst into ecstasy, and said: "Yang Chengzu, Yang Chengzu." ”

"The end will be." The Yang brothers agreed.

Luo Rucai said: "Immediately prepare manpower and attack the city immediately." ”

"Yes." The Yang brothers said loudly.

The Yang brothers are also the people that Luo Rucai can use, they are cousins themselves, and they brought the entire clan to vote, and Luo Rucai divided their brothers into two parts. However, fighting tiger brothers and going into battle as father and son soldiers, Luo Rucai had no intention of separating them too much, and sometimes used them together.

"The end will be." Zhang Yingyuan said. Zhang Yingyuan, a native of Shaanxi, is an old man who follows Luo Rucai.

"Zhang Yingyuan." Luo Rucai said.

"You are ready, Lone wants you to take the elite of your headquarters at any time and seize the city gate." Luo Rucai said.

Luo Rucai looked at the city at this time, thought silently in his heart, and said, "Zhang Xuan, don't let me down." ”

"Lord Yan has arrived." I don't know who said a word, Lord Yan was in the prefect's official mansion, and was surrounded by countless people to go to the city, although Lord Yan had gray hair, he walked calmly and calmly, and he didn't seem to be worried about the rogues under the city at all.

Originally, because of the appearance of the rogue, the floating military spirit suddenly settled down.

Zhang Xuan can see that Lord Yan is the backbone of the entire Nanyang City.

Yan Riyu came to Dao Chengtou to take a look, laughed and said: "Today, this rogue will definitely return." ”

"My lord, why do you say that?" Cheng Wenying immediately stepped forward and said jokingly. Cheng Wenying has no other skills, but this kind of kung fu is a housekeeping skill.

"Since ancient times, where have cavalry besieged the city, and there are no foot soldiers to see the rogues, if they can come to attack the city? My city is high and deep, as long as we hold the city steadily, even if they get off their horses to attack, they can't attack it, as long as you defend the city, it will be a great achievement. Yan Riyu said.

"Your Excellency is clever." Cheng Wenying said immediately.

Suddenly, there was a sound of slapping horses, one after another, as if the rogues under the city had been defeated.

Although Yan Riyu felt uncomfortable, it was not easy to have a seizure, and at this time, boosting morale was more important than anything else.

Yan Riyu whispered to Cheng Wenying: "Immediately go and assign people, the entire city is responsible for everyone, where is there a mistake to kill someone, if the southern city is broken, before the city is broken, I will kill you first, go quickly." ”

"Yes." Cheng Wenying shuddered in his heart, he knew that Yan Riyu was the kind of person who did what he said. As long as he says it, he will definitely do it. In this way, Cheng Wenying immediately went down to make arrangements. When Zhang Xuan saw Cheng Wenying coming, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Uncle, is there any place where the little nephew can serve one or two." ”

When Cheng Wenying saw Zhang Xuan, his heart moved, and he said secretly: "This Hou Maosheng is bent on taking the martial arts path, and he has also served in Zuo Liangyu's army, isn't he a talent." Thinking of this, he grabbed Zhang Xuan and said, "You don't want first-level merit, now you go down, I will give you a team of people, for a while, how many military merits do you want, how many military merits." ”

"Uncle, this ----" Zhang Xuan was suddenly frightened by this good news. Cheng Wenying put his life in the hands of Zhang Xuan, Zhang Xuan was not happy for a while, but a little scared, and said secretly in his heart: "Isn't this Cheng Wenying testing me?" Am I being discovered? ”

His frightened look was not pretended.

Now, Cheng Wenying is more relieved.

Although Cheng Wenying is incompetent, but he can mix with a county Zhengyin, and the ability to observe words and emotions is common in the officialdom, but he keeps it in mind, if Zhang Xuan listens to this and looks happy, he is a little suspicious, but Zhang Xuan is scared, and he immediately believes Zhang Xuan.

In his heart, this Hou Maosheng is the kind of person who blows the cowhide so loudly that he doesn't dare to do it when things come to an end, which is too in line with the image of a scholar he has seen.

"Master, arrange a team of people for Hou Xian's nephew." Cheng Wenying waved his hand, and the matter was settled.
