Chapter 374: Under the City

He Rong's cavalry was in a state of readiness at any time, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the first team of thousands of people had already left the camp, and the follow-up teams continued until midnight, and there were still people on the road.

Xu Ji originally stayed in the camp, but was called out soon after, escorted by a team of cavalry, to chase Shan Yu.

Shan Yu made a siege plan on horseback, gave orders at any time, and on the way, he stopped to rest for a while, convened the lords to discuss military affairs, and finalized many final details.

Xu Ji caught up at this time, standing with some Central Plains people, not far from Shan Yu, he could see the faces illuminated by the firelight, but he couldn't hear what they were saying, not to mention that most of them didn't understand He Rongyu at all.

Although Zhang Shiyu was the emperor, he did not receive special treatment, standing with the people of the Central Plains, his face was pale, and his eyes occasionally turned, always revealing a panic that could not be hidden.

His eyes swept over Xu Ji for the third time, and Zhang Shiyu recognized him, hurriedly beckoned, let Xu Ji walk to his side, and whispered: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Princess Fondt sent a doll, single to ......"

"No, no, that's not what I'm asking, it's ...... What the hell is my sister thinking? Didn't she know that I was a guest at the He Rong camp? Doesn't she know anything about the situation at hand? There is also Yuyang's guard and assassin history, why did she condone her misdeeds? ”

"The guards and assassins probably don't know either......"

Zhang Shiyu suddenly became angry, but he didn't dare to speak loudly, forcibly suppressed it, gritted his teeth and said, "It's all because of you." ”

"Me? I'm not in Yuyang City, and I can't communicate with Princess Fangde. ”

"I'm not talking about now, it's the past, you...... You must have done something to my sister to make her die for you. Alas, when my sister went to live in the valley, I was clearly against it, but my mother said that my sister would no longer be loved when she married outside the Seychelles...... The woman is wrong, and she is really wrong. Then my sister changed, and when she came back from you, she went around every day to tell people about the 'general trend', and she once came to me to tell me how to be an emperor......"

Thinking of Zhang Shiqing's serious discussion of the "general trend", Xu Ji couldn't help but smile.

Zhang Shiyu regarded the smile as an acknowledgement, and couldn't help but be even angrier, "It's you who taught my sister these weird ideas, it's you who ......"

When Lord He Rong's deliberation ended, they all mounted their horses and went to join their soldiers, and the people of the Central Plains were also asked to set off.

Xu Ji was about to get on the horse, but was stopped by He Rongpingshan.

He Rongpingshan rode on his horse, and the whip in his hand pointed to the bright place of the torch, "Shan Yu wants to see you." ”

Zhang Shiyu had already grabbed the reins and looked at Xu Ji, silently reminding him not to add to the chaos.

Xu Ji ignored him, nodded to Chang Yanzhi, who was more concerned about himself, and walked towards the torch.

Shan Yu was already on the horse, condescending, looking down at Xu Ji, "Someone told me that you are very familiar with the princess and taught her many bad things, and you went north alone to prevent the princess from marrying into the He Rong Department." ”

Xu Ji glanced left and right, and didn't see Kou Daogu, but he believed that the so-called "someone" must be him, not Emperor Zhang Shiyu.

"I went north alone to prevent a catastrophe."

"Is it a disaster for the princess to marry into the He Rong Ministry?"

Xu Ji shook his head, "The emperor went north to borrow troops, the king of Jin came to seek an alliance, and Shan Yu led the army into the fortress, together it is a disaster, a catastrophe. ”

Shan Yu laughed, "The treacherous methods of the Central Plains people are useless to me, save your rhetoric, and leave it to persuade the people in the city to open the door and surrender early tomorrow morning, and persuade the princess to come out by herself and kneel in front of me to beg for forgiveness." If you can't persuade you, I'll kill you first, and then let the emperor persuade - the emperor is my brother-in-law, my family, I don't want this, but I can't be too indulgent with my family. ”

"It's like treating Zuo Shenwei King alone?"

He Rong Pingshan was by his side, and when he heard this, his face changed slightly.

"He's my brother, ever." Shan Yu patted the horse away, and He Rong Pingshan followed, and he didn't even have time to reprimand Xu Ji who was talking nonsense with an angry gaze.

Shan Yu is good at winning people's hearts, Xu Ji saw it in his eyes, and there was a trace of jealousy in his heart.

The soldier urged him to mount.

The camp of He Rongbu was not far from Yuyang City, and it arrived shortly after midnight, and he did not set up camp, and directly put on a siege position.

Xu Ji also joined many Central Plains people.

Zhang Shiyu was still very annoyed with Xu Ji, but when he looked around, he couldn't find anyone to talk to, so he had to come to him, "Are you and my sister happy this time?" The people of the city died because of the two of you. ”

"He Rong people came in a hurry, they didn't bring equipment, it was difficult to attack the city, Yuyang Ruo was willing to hold ......"

Zhang Shiyu was taken aback: "Hold on? Don't you think you're dying fast enough? Why did Shan Yu bring me? It's going to be used to threaten the people in the city......" Zhang Shiyu shuddered, "I knew there would be today, and I wouldn't ...... anyway It's all Huanyan's fault, she urged me to be the emperor. ”

"Actually, I came up with the idea, remember?"

Zhang Shiyu squinted at him, "It's really strange, you are unwilling to be loyal to any party, and you don't have a soldier or a general, but there seems to be your shadow in many things. ”

"Haha, that's too much for me."

"I'm not complimenting you."

"You don't have to worry, although Yuyang can hold it, it seems that they won't wait for dawn to open the door and surrender."

"You know again?"

"This is guessed, He Rong is good at riding and shooting, if Yuyang wants to hold on, the soldiers should hide so as not to be damaged. You see, the walls are brightly lit, and there is clearly no sense of defense. I guess the people in the city don't understand why the Herong people are coming, and when they figure it out, they will surrender immediately. ”

Zhang Shiyu felt that there was some truth, and his heart was a little calm, and then he was a little unhappy, "Without my will, Yuyang dares to surrender?" Alas, forget it, why do I care about this now? ”

Everyone didn't have a tent, they could only stand in the wilderness and wait, although it was not cold, but it was quite embarrassing, especially when there were He Rong cavalry around, and the Central Plains people were called watching the battle, but they were actually no different from prisoners.

Around the fifth watch, the sky was slightly bright, and Zhang Shiyu was a little nervous, "Why hasn't there been any movement in the city?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a burst of cheers suddenly rang out in front of him.

Some of Zhang Shiyu's entourage could understand some of He Rong's words, and said to everyone: "Yuyang Assassin Shi Huangfu led the crowd to surrender!" ”

Zhang Shiyu breathed a heavy sigh of relief and said to Xu Ji: "There are still people in Yuyang City who understand. ”

Xu Ji smiled, looking at the many relieved expressions around him, he couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness.

It didn't take long for the cheers to suddenly turn into roars again, and the Central Plains people who had just breathed a sigh of relief all changed color on their faces, and Zhang Shiyu grabbed Xu Ji's arm, "What's going on?" ”

"I can't guess this, I think it's a princess......"

"It's her again, this ......" Zhang Shiyu really couldn't scold and swear, and he felt really uncomfortable.

The person who could understand He Rong's language explained: "Assassin Shi led the crowd out of the city, but Zhonglang abandoned Tang Shiju and fled in advance, as if ...... It seems that he also took Princess Fondle with him. ”

Everyone else was surprised, but Zhang Shiyu was furious, "Master Tang raised this bastard, a little Zhonglang general, how dare to do such a rebellious thing!" I said that my sister didn't care about this, and she didn't even care about her brother's life, so she was coerced! Huan Yan saw the wrong person again. ”

He Rong's cavalry shouted, seemingly very angry and a little excited, but there were too many people talking, and Zhang Shiyu's entourage listened for a long time before he caught a sentence, "They, they want to slaughter the city." ”

Zhang Shiyu was stunned for a moment, "The assassin has already surrendered." ”

The retinue shook his head, "I don't know why, they just want to slaughter the city, it seems that they are assigning the priority, and they will start soon." ”

"What about me? Shan Yu is obviously angry, has anyone talked about me? ”

The attendant didn't hear too much, so he could only continue to shake his head.

Zhang Shiyu suffered from gains and losses, and suddenly calmed down again, and said to Xu Ji: "Just a reasonable person, I didn't offend him, he should understand, right?" ”

"Well, Shan Yu should understand."

Hearing Xu Ji say this, Zhang Shiyu felt more down-to-earth, "Enough, for so many years, I have been protecting my sister, so far, I don't care about her life or death, she caused her own trouble, let her clean it up by herself." ”

"Have you borrowed troops from Shan Yu?" Xu Ji asked suddenly.

Zhang Shiyu only thought about his own safety in his heart, and when he heard this question, he couldn't help but be stunned, "...... at this time"

Xu Ji Zhengse said: "I once suggested that Your Majesty borrow troops from Shan Yu, did Your Majesty speak?" ”

Zhang Shiyu was rarely called "Your Majesty" by someone other than his entourage, but he was a little uncomfortable, and he stayed for a while before saying: "I spoke, I said to borrow 100,000 soldiers, Shan Yu has been laughing, and the back ...... I didn't say anything more. ”

"Well, well done. We have to go see Shan Yu. ”

"What are you doing with him?" Although he was in the middle of He Rong's cavalry, surrounded by at least his own people, Zhang Shiyu was reluctant to leave this small territory.

"Shan Yu is angry, at this time it is most likely to be provoked, if you don't go to Shan Yu to say a few words in front of you, I am afraid that something will happen."

Zhang Shiyu suddenly realized, "It's good that you are here." Hurriedly called the entourage who could speak He Rong's language, and ordered him to negotiate with He Rongren, and he wanted to go to see Shan Yu.

"Take me." Xu Ji reminded.

Zhang Shiyu nodded again and again, and went to see Shan Yu alone, he really didn't dare at all.

The request was passed down in layers, and it wasn't long before it was granted.

Xu Ji and Zhang Shiyu got on their horses and went to see Shan Yu under the escort of a team of cavalry.

Shan Yu was still sitting on the horse, his face was pale, not far away, there were still dozens of Yuyang officials kneeling on the ground, all trembling, Emperor Tiancheng appeared, and he didn't dare to look up.

"I treat the emperor as my own family, but the emperor keeps teasing me, what is the purpose?" Shan Yu asked.

Hearing this question, Zhang Shiyu first admired Xu Ji's foresight, if he didn't explain it in time, he was afraid that Shan Yu's dissatisfaction would become more and more.

"It's all Tang Shiju...... It's not me ......" But he was nervous and scared, although he had many words, he couldn't say them for a while, his face changed, and he had to cast a look at Xu Ji for help.

Xu Ji said: "Don't slaughter the city first, you should turn back, maybe it's still too late." ”

Zhang Shiyu was shocked, Shan Yu was furious, the horsewhip in his hand was pointed, and he was about to speak, Xu Ji said again: "Hundreds of thousands of Jin troops are on their way to Saiwai at the moment, Shan Yu didn't bring his family members to Guannei, right?" ”
