Zhao Huan was stunned for half a cup of tea before he came back to his senses, he glanced at Zhang Xiaochun with a complicated expression, he didn't know what to say, it stands to reason that collaborating with the enemy and treason should be beheaded, even if Zhang Bin is dead, it can't change the result, but Zhang Xiaochun is an honest and honest official, and he is even more committed to guiding Taiyuan without losing it, so he shouldn't ask him for the blame.

Which should be the law or human feelings? Zhao Huan subconsciously looked at Xu Zizhen.

Xu Zizhen didn't expect Zhang Xiaochun to be so excited, as the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children, but for the sake of the country's righteousness, he even cut his own son with a knife, where can I find such a good official? Seeing Zhao Huan's gaze, it was exactly what he wanted.

He sighed lightly and said: "Your Highness, these days Taiyuan City has been besieged, all thanks to Lord Zhang day and night to lead the people to defend the city, if it weren't for him, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan City are afraid that none of them will be spared, but it is a pity that the tiger father gave birth to a dog, and actually made a collaborator with the enemy and treason, according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, Lord Zhang should be questioned this time, but there is a big problem at the moment, that is, the Jin people have just retreated, and we are busy cutting off the prefect's head here, isn't that a joke for the golden dog?" And it's a small joke, if the Jin people take this opportunity to attack again, then the people's hearts will be scattered, who will lead everyone to defend the city? If Taiyuan is lost, the entire northern line of the Great Song Dynasty will be in a comprehensive emergency, and who should carry this big black cauldron? ”

This is simple, direct, vulgar and easy to understand, although the people present are quite disdainful of Xu Zizhen's use of the adjective black pot, but the words are not rough, now the whole Taiyuan military and civilians only serve Zhang Xiaochun, even if Xu Zizhen is only a guest elder in the hearts of the people, as soon as Zhang Xiaochun is withdrawn, Taiyuan will be chaotic.

Zhao Huan is timid and timid, but he is not stupid, how can he not understand this reason? Immediately pushed the boat down the river and nodded: "What Zizhen said is extremely true, if this is the case, what should be done according to your opinion?" ”

Xu Zizhen secretly praised Zhao Huan for being interesting, Zhang Xiaochun's disposal method he already knew in his heart, since the prince spoke, he hurriedly said: "I'm just a grass people, I can't see anything, but the prince can see me and let me say, then I'll give a Jianyi, Lord Zhang has been in Taiyuan for a long time and is very popular with the people, with him in the city, since this is the case, then punish Lord Zhang for three years and not be promoted, Your Highness, what do you think?" ”

Everyone is a little unclear so, not promoted in three years? That is to say, as long as Zhang Xiaochun does not make a big mistake, he will continue to be his Taiyuan prefect in the past three years? No matter how you look at it, it's a bit of a non-sin.

Zhao Huan groaned slightly, and actually nodded his head in response: "Okay, this matter is alone, after returning to Beijing, I should make it clear to the official family, and if there is any objection from the DPRK and China, I will bear it alone." ”

Zhang Xiaochun was already kneeling, and when he heard this, he immediately kowtowed, tears fell like rain, and shouted in a trembling voice: "Sinner Zhang Xiaochun, thank Your Highness Longen!" ”

Xu Zizhen waited for him to kowtow and helped him up, beckoned a guard, and asked him to send Zhang Xiaochun back to the house to rest first, and then collect Zhang Bin's body and bury it separately.

A storm stopped, Xu Zizhen set his eyes on Yan Yuchun on the side, the female spy of the Jin Kingdom was nesting quietly in the corner at this time, Xiao Rongyu was guarding on the side, her hands and feet were injured by Qiong Ying, although it was not broken, she couldn't move for a while, and she couldn't escape if she wanted to.

Xu Zizhen walked up to her and stood still, sneered and said, "Miss Yan, do you have anything else to say when it comes to this?" ”

Yan Yuchun said lightly with an expressionless face: "What do you want me to say?" ”

Xu Zizhen leaned down to hold her chin, glanced at her face, and a smile suddenly hung on the corner of her mouth: "I have a lot to ask you, but I don't have time now, I'll look for you when I go back." After speaking, he said to Xiao Rongyu, "Tie her up and find a room for her to stay." ”

Xiao Rongyu responded, lifted Yan Yuchun and went to the backyard, there are many means in the Three Peerless Hall, even if you don't use a rope, you can't run away from her.

The sky gradually brightened, and a night passed between words, Xu Zizhen walked back to Zhao Huan's side and whispered a few words, Zhao Huan nodded again and again, and after Xu Zizhen finished speaking, he coughed and said loudly: "Wait for a good rest for half a day, and tonight the lonely relatives will have a banquet to congratulate the victory!" ”

There was a cheer from below: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”

A beautiful battle to defend the city ended, at the cost of the Song army's very small casualties to swallow up the 30,000 people of the Jin army, the blood outside the city of Taiyuan flowed like a river, the corpses were piled up everywhere, the people were all happy, and they rushed to the city with food and wine to reward the army.

Wanyan Zonghan in the camp of the Jin army was in a thunderous rage, he couldn't help but be angry, this siege was not foolproof in his plan, but it was also a great chance of winning, but he never thought that it would be such an ending, when Apu sent a distress signal, he had a very bad feeling, and he sent people to reinforce without thinking about it, but when the reinforcements arrived, they found that it was too late, the Song people had already evacuated, the speed was very fast, and the retreat was orderly, more than a thousand cavalry looked like bandits first, The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion rode their horses upside down and retreated slowly.

The Jin people have all suffered from the Shenji Battalion, and they stopped when they saw the firearms in their hands, even if the reinforcements had 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry, they would definitely not have their good fruits to eat if they rushed to catch up.

Wanyan Zonghan wanted to kill people very much, a few hours ago, the 30,000 former troops who were in high spirits said that they were gone, and the deputy commander of the unified army, Apu Gang, and a group of generals had no survivors, and they didn't find the corpses when they cleaned the battlefield, so they didn't have to think about it, they must have been taken captive by the Song people.

Bang!

The whole case was almost kicked to the ground by Wanyan Zonghan, his eyes were so angry that he could breathe fire, several staff officers of the army looked at each other, and said cautiously: "Zuo Shuai, the Song people have been weak for a long time, and it is not enough to be afraid of a small victory, it is better for the army to attack the city with all its might, and it will definitely ......."

Wanyan Zonghan said angrily: "It's a fart!" The Song people are newly victorious, and their morale is booming, if they attack again at this time, they will definitely be defeated! ”

Before the staff officers could say more, Yan Zonghan was furious: "Get out!" Get out of here! ”

……

When Yan Zonghan was angry, Xu Zizhen slowly shook to the backyard and gently pushed open a door.

Crunch......

The early morning sun shone obliquely into the room, and a woman curled up in the corner slowly raised her head, her flower face was dim and her temples were scattered, it was the female spy of the Jin Kingdom, Yan Yusong.

Seeing Xu Zizhen standing at the door with an evil smile on her face, her heart suddenly jumped, and a feeling of uneasiness rose up, she wanted to run away regardless of it, but unfortunately she couldn't move at all now.

The woman who pretended to be a maid didn't know what to give her to eat, and now she didn't have the strength to do it, and even sitting on the ground like this was extremely reluctant.

"Don't bother with it, I'm not going to say anything." Yan Yusong pretended to be calm, but the tremor in her voice still betrayed her.

Xu Zizhen walked in with his feet raised, with a weird smile on his lips, and closed the door with his hand: "I didn't plan to ask you anything." ”

Yan Yuchun was taken aback: "Then what are you going to do?" ”

The corners of Xu Zizhen's mouth raised: "Guess?" ”

A large hand gradually dilated in Yan Yusong's pupils, and finally landed on her face, and slowly and gently descended down her cheek.
