The Shouying city under the Purple Mountain is extremely majestic, and the generals dressed in vegetarian clothes stand on the high place of the north gate, looking up. The four-foot-eight-foot (9.45m) high city wall, plus the half-man-high women's wall, is more than five feet. The gatehouse is higher on the city tower, and on the roof of the four heavy houses, the red military flag with the word "Chu" is hunting and hunting, just like the shape of the army under the city. The city is high, the pool is wide, and the gatehouse is strong, which is the city that you want to capture.

"The ancients said: 'Attacking without a charge, defending without a canal, is an army without goodness'. Jing Hua didn't even give an answer, if he wasn't stupid, or the foot soldiers in the city were completely insufficient. Jun Sima Zhou Wen pointed to the bare city wall and said.

The canal is a kind of city defense equipment, the canal refers to the orange tree, the curtain of the answer, the combination of the two erected on the city wall, like a sail. The curtain above can prevent the arrows and crossbows thrown from under the city, and if there is no canal to defend the city, it will be 'for the army of no good'.

"The gates were closed too quickly, and they were not muddy." Another military Sima Zi was lonely-eyed, and at a glance he saw the middle door that was still in the primary color.

The gate is three-way, with the middle gate only open when the king enters and exits, and the two smaller side gates next to it are used for ordinary access. But whether it is the gate of the king or the door of the common people, the door should be plastered with mud during battle - those protruding copper nails on the door are used to plaster the mud to prevent the soil from falling off after drying. Now the side gate is plastered with mud, but the middle gate is not plastered with mud, although there is a water tank on the city gate to put water out of the fire, but this incident shows the omission of the city defense of Yingdu.

"When attacking the city, you may be able to set fire to the gate...... according to the plan, the division of Wu Di will attack the city first, and the main general Huang Yong planned.

"Who is under the city?!" Behind him, the soldiers of the brigade pushed the siege Meng Chong and the ladder to come, and the cadres on the chariot pointed at the city, and naturally some people in the city shouted and asked.

"I'll meet him." Everyone has heard of the range of the crossbow, so the place where he stands is more than a mile away from the city, and he has to shout to speak at this distance, so Huang Yong wants to walk in and speak.

Huang Yong's imperial hand instigated the horse to move forward slowly, and the military official standing beside Jinghua in the city hurriedly asked, "General, are you ......?"

Three hundred steps are already within the range of the crossbow's accurate shooting, and the meaning of the military officer is very simple, that is, to shoot the rebel general.

"Wait! Let's see who he is, and then listen to what he has to say. Jing Hua waved his hand to stop, he had no other plans.

"I am Huang Yong, the son of Ling Yin, who is in the city?" Huang Yong, who stopped two hundred steps away, began to speak, the sky was blowing the north wind, and his voice could be heard clearly by the people on the entire city wall.

"Ben Jiang Jinghua." Jing Hua not only stepped forward to answer, but also stood on the women's wall. "Huang Yong, your father rebelled against the prince of Liqiang, has he forgotten how the king treated your Huang family in the past? Such disloyalty and unrighteousness should be ashamed of the whole world. ”

The enemy was very red when he saw him, knowing that it was Jinghua standing in the city, Huang Yong was so anxious that he stood on Hengshi. "Jinghua, you thief! Thou hast murdered my father and murdered my eldest son, do you want to make thyself king? You are the one who is unfaithful and unrighteous and ashamed of the world......"

The scolding seemed to start here, but Huang Yong blushed and held his breath to finish scolding, and what came from the city was Jing Hua's laughter, and he said loudly: "Huang Yong, don't lie here, the eldest son lives in the East Palace, and is waiting for the king to return to the throne triumphantly, if you and your disloyal and unrighteous father do not surrender, he will punish the three clans one day." ”

"The eldest son is still alive?" Jinghua shouted loudly, not only Huang Yong heard it, but also Yang Xu, Zigu and others four hundred steps away. The most moved are Yang Lu and Zigu, even if Huang Yong and Zhou Wen have sworn in front of the army brigade rate yesterday, they are still not at ease, for fear that attacking Shouying is a political conspiracy.

"Jinghua! Someone has seen that the eldest son has been killed by you, so don't talk nonsense! Huang Yong jumped on the crossway and almost fell out of the car.

"Haha! The person I saw in person was Li Yuan? Indeed, you are a powerful prince, and you will do everything you can. Jing Hua, who had entered the state, asked with a smile, and after he asked, he raised his voice: "Listen to the soldiers under the city: the eldest son lives in the East Palace, and the king triumphs on the same day, if you don't bow down as soon as possible and surrender, he will punish the three clans in the future!" ”

Huang Yong was dumbfounded, what he didn't expect was that Xiong Jing was still alive. In the silence, it was the Yang's car dealer who stepped forward, he first reported his identity, and then said: "Jinghua, the current matter has its own rhetoric, you and I are both Chu people, and the Qin people are attacking me at the moment, why should I wait to meet here in vain." You said that the eldest son lives in the East Palace, can you please come out and see it? ”

"Naturally." Tossed for a while, Jing Hua was waiting for this sentence. He jumped off the female wall and said to the people sent by the palace and the temple people: "The teacher of Jiangdong is afraid that he will be deceived by Huang Xie and Li Yuan, so I invite the eldest son to come to the city to see him. ”

The conversations and temple people in the city and the city all listened to it in their hearts, and Jing Hua didn't say that they could also think that if the prince was here, then Huang Xie's rumors would be exposed. At this time, at the invitation of Jing Hua, the two immediately walked down the city and hurried to the palace.

From yesterday to today, the royal palace has been busy from the northernmost gate to the southernmost gate, from the easternmost palace to the westernmost palace. The weapons, arrows, and grain and grass warehouses that were moved in by the mansion and the mansion were piled up in the open space when they were full, and the thousands of cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs urgently collected were kept in the confinement garden. The city set up a canal, blocked the palace gate under the city, and 2,500 guards and sanitators, 1,300 domestic slaves of noble doctors, and more than 2,400 temple people and palace maids did not stop for a moment to transport and store materials and equipment.

When the confessor rushed to the palace, Deng Sui, who was in charge of guarding the city, was facing the sand table and was explaining to Xiong Jing the strategy of defending the city.

"The royal city was about 1,300 paces long and 1,000 paces wide, surrounded by a deep pond and a wall four feet eight feet high. Within the royal city, the east is the palace, and the west is the palace; The palace is about 300 steps wide, and the garden is 7 or 800 steps wide......"

Although the royal city is large, it is divided into two, with the east room on the east side and the Yuan Yuan on the west side, separated by a high wall in the middle. The length of the two is equal in length from north to south, but the area is indeed twice that of the palace room. Contrary to Xiong Jing's prediction yesterday, Deng Sui's arrangement was based on the north dormitory in front, and the thatched gate in the south was the rear. And the confinement garden is too wide, he, like Xiong Jing, chooses the narrower palace as the key defense area, if the city is broken, the confined side will give up and concentrate on defending the palace in the east.

"Tell Your Highness, the general of the rebels in the city seems to be confused by Huang Xie, and he said that His Highness ......" The confessor worshiped the court and told him, and he really didn't dare to speak when the eldest son was killed, so he stopped talking.

"How is His Highness?" Zhao Huang asked. Huang Xie rebelled, and he was already the head of the hundred officials.

"His Highness... Killed by Jing Hua. The confessor gritted his teeth and spoke bluntly, provoking a reprimand from the important ministers.

"Why did he say that His Highness was ...... by Jinghua?" Lu Yangjun was also in the atrium, as well as Mr. Li and others from the War Bureau.

"Huang Xie's son Huang Yong said that Jinghua murdered Ling Yin, and said that he killed ...... and wanted to establish himself as king; General Jing said that it was Huang Xie and Li Yuan who spread rumors, and the eldest son was living in the East Palace, and the king was immediately triumphant, asking them to surrender quickly, so as not to punish the three clans. At this time, Yang Lu stepped forward to tell General Yu Jing and said, 'There are different explanations for the current affairs, you and I are both Chu people, and the Qin people are attacking me at this moment, why bother to meet each other here'; General Jing naturally agreed, and then sent me to invite His Highness to the city. ”

The confessor was quite articulate, and explained things very clearly in a few words. The temple man next to him added: "Your Highness, the villain Guan Huang Yong and Yang Lu are not all the way, first Huang Yong came up, he scolded General Jinghua for being disloyal and unjust, General Jing Hua said that after His Royal Highness settled in the East Palace, this Yang Lu came up and asked General Jing Hua to ask His Royal Highness to see him." ”

"Your Royal Highness, it must be Huang Xie and Li Yuan who coaxed the Jiangdong soldiers for the sake of the Liqiang Prince, saying that the guard general Jinghua killed the monarch and stood on his own, if His Highness can appear in the city, his words will be self-defeating. Even if Huang Yong still wants to rebel, the two divisions will attack each other, and the crisis in Yingdu will be resolved. Dazai Shen Yinyu's IQ is neither high nor low, and when he heard the words of the reply between the city and the city, he immediately made up for it.

"Huang Xie thief, the disaster of the country." Zhao Huang didn't know if his IQ was not as good as Shen Yinyu's, or he was so angry that he was scolding.

"Your Highness, this matter is different from usual, there must be demons, or ......" Zhen Yinzi Mo was faintly worried, but he couldn't say that there was anything wrong.

"Since Huang Xie said that Bu Yi was dead, then Bu Yi went to tell him that Bu Yi was alive and well." Xiong Jing did not doubt that he had him, so he was going out of the palace and going to the city to puncture the rumors of Huang Xie Li Yuan.

"Your Highness, no." Guan Ji and Cai Bao spoke at the same time, and Guan Ji said: "Your Highness dreamed last night that the outside of the palace was full of mud, and the mud ground is the place of death, and Your Highness must not leave the palace." ”

After watching the season, Cai Bao also said: "Your Highness, Yingdu is important, all in Your Highness; The defense of Miyagi is all for His Royal Highness. His Royal Highness is sleeping in peace, and the thieves have no chance, if His Highness leaves the palace, the thieves are unable to prevent it. The last time I stabbed, does Your Highness remember? ”

"But ......" Cai Bao mentioned that the last assassination of Xiong Jing seemed to have been stung by a wasp, but he thought that he could puncture Huang Xie's rumors by showing up, and that Yingdu could go to Xixian County to help Chengyang as soon as possible if he turned into an Jiangdong's army, he still overcame this discomfort and insisted: "I am in danger alone, and the whole city of Yingdu is safe; If I am in danger alone, the general of Jiangdong's division will have a better chance of driving away the Qin people. How can the eldest son of the dignified prison country hide in the deep palace, so how can he be the king in the future? I have made up my mind, prepare the carriage and horses, and leave the palace! ”

Xiong Jing's reasons are irrefuted, and his presence in the city to debunk rumors is indeed the best way to quell the rebellion. Cai Bao and Deng Sui wanted to say something, but they had to endure it; Mr. Li and others seemed to be aware of it, and they also wanted to speak and stopped.

The news of the prince's preparation of carriages and horses in the palace soon spread to the north gate of Yingdu, and Fan Zeng, who asked Xiong Jing into the urn, was not happy, but sighed: "If this eldest son is either a great fool or a great brave, whether it is a great fool or a great bravery, he will never go back when he leaves the palace." After he said that, he looked at the negative man who had changed his disguise, "The eldest son is out of the palace, please go out of the city immediately, it is not good to be late." ”

Mr. Xie reminded. He obeyed Fan Zeng's words, and he also sighed like Fan Zeng, "I only pity my brother Jing." ”

"The prince is leaving the city at this time?" Jing Hua shouted out the identity of the negative soldier, he and Shen Yong are actually semi-peripheral personnel.

"The eldest son and sister-in-law are all dead, does General Jing think that if he stays in Yingdu, he can be king?" Fan Zeng was still arrogant, "General Jing should go all out to kill the eldest son, if I am not mistaken, the two divisions of Wu and Yue are going to fight." ”
