Outside the city.

I could already see the flag of the Qin army whirring in the wind from a distance.

"Shangqing, I found the banner of the Qin army in the distance." Seeing this, the soldiers defending the city hurriedly reported to the secretary in the city.

The banner of the Qin army?

When Shangqing of the Kingdom of Yu heard this, he looked at a few people around him in surprise, "Didn't this Princess Ruoxi say that if she was there, the Qin army would not attack Yucheng?" How could the banner of the Qin army appear around the city? Tell me what's going on? ”

"What else could it be, it speaks volumes about how they came together to give us a maze. Let the princess confuse us in the city, and the Qin people Yingkang will lead the troops to attack from the outside. Shangqing hurry up and make up your mind, if it is too late, our country will be over. Yu Guosima stepped forward and said.

Shangqing thought about it, maybe it was really like this, "It seems that no one can be trusted!" What should we do? ”

Shangqing thought about it, this Princess Ruoxi and the current monarch were originally brother and sister, and this family was going to compete for the power of the Kingdom of Qiu, what should I do as an outsider?

When Secretary Yu Guo thinks about the problem like this, other people actually think the same, after all, this matter seems to be a matter between countries, but if you think about it carefully, it is also a matter between the two children of Yu Gongji.

It's a bit hard to say.

So someone thought about it and said, "Shangqing, I thought you should report this matter to the king of Hojing in time and ask him to decide." ”

Report to the king?

Now, it seems that it will not be possible to report the matter of Yucheng to Yu Shi's father.

"You are right, we should do a few things at the moment, one is that I personally write to the king to explain the situation facing Yucheng; The second is that Sima you personally went to the city and asked all the soldiers defending the city to strengthen their vigilance to prevent the Qin army from sneaking up on our city. Secretary Yu said.

After the Sima of the Kingdom of Yu left, Shangqing did not dare to slack off, and immediately set out to go to Haojing to report the situation here to Yu Shi's father.

But a day passed, and there was no news of Ho Kyo;

There is still no news of Hojing in the past, and the Secretary of the State of Yu and others can no longer sit still;

Three days have passed, and there is still no news of Hojing, and the secretary of the country and others are already anxious.

"It is said that this process to Hojing is a one-day journey from the fast horse, why is there no news from the king after three days?" Secretary Yu couldn't help but be a little anxious and asked Sima Dao.

Yu Guosima shook his head, "I don't know the specific situation. However, the situation in our city is very unfavorable these days! According to the soldiers guarding the city, this Qin army has surrounded the city from the northwest. ”

Surrounded by?

What does this mean?

If you fight, you will fight, and it is said that you should also kill it, so how can there be such a situation?

In fact, this is just a measure and method for Ying Kang, in fact, the Qin army is indeed hoarding around Yucheng, but he just doesn't attack this side, but keeps creating momentum.

Adopt the method of encirclement, and let the Qin army conduct drills around the city, or make an attack.

In this way, Yucheng was forced to fight up first, and then to besiege but not attack, and let Yucheng surrender by himself in a bloodless way.

Now the effects are out.

"Surrounding? What do you mean by this, did the Qin army come over? To fight is to fight, and if you don't fight, you don't fight. What's going on with the siege? Secretary Yu said very politely.

Sima shook his head, "I really don't know the specific situation, after all, I've been staying in the city these days, and I haven't gone out of the city to check the situation around, so I don't know the specific situation at all." I just heard from the soldiers that the Qin army was gathering around this side. ”

"It's not clear that you're creating trouble like this, isn't this disturbing the morale of the army or whatever. In this case, you can take your troops out of the city and check the surrounding situation to see what is going on? The Secretary of State ordered Sima.

"Okay--, I'm going to check on the situation." As Sima in charge of a country's soldiers and horses, he doesn't even know the specific situation of the war, which is indeed a bit unreasonable.

Sima of the State of Yu knew that as a duty, he should also know the specific situation of the Qin army, so he was bold and led his troops out of the city.

If you don't check it, it's over, and this check, Sima Guo Guo can't sit still at all. After returning to the city, he immediately reported to Shangqing the truth of his inspection, "Shangqing, what the soldiers said is right, the Qin army is indeed surrounding our city, there are Qin army's camp tents in the direction of Sanguo in the west, and there are also Qin army's military camps in the north of Jiankuoling. Moreover, there are still soldiers and horses of the Qin army around Yucheng from time to time. This is clearly preparing for the attack on Yucheng! ”

Not only were the Qin army ready to attack from the northwest and two sides, but their soldiers and horses were already wandering around the city?

The Secretary of the State of Yu is thinking, are you Qin people treating our Yucheng as your family's own land? Turn if you want, go if you don't.

"Hey---, I'm dying, why haven't I heard from you for three or four days?" At this time, the ministers in the city of Yuguo are completely anxious, the enemy's soldiers and horses have already arrived in their city, and there is no news from the monarch, can they not be in a hurry?

"Shangqing, you don't have to worry, in fact, it doesn't matter if you wait for the news of the monarch, and in the end, we still have to wait for us to do a good job of defense." At this time, Sima of the Kingdom of Yu showed his own opinions.

"What you said makes sense, so let's do it, whether there is news from the king or not, you will defend the city to the death for me, as long as the city is in our hands, see what he Qin Yingkang can do with us?" Secretary Yu said firmly.

"Understood, but what should Princess Ruoxi do in this city?" Sima asked suddenly before leaving.

That's right!

When the Qin army began to press the border, the wife of Yingkang, the leader of the Qin people, was still in the city of Qiuguo, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

At this time, Situ of the Kingdom of Yu spoke, "The princess is the same as the king, and she is the heir of the first monarch, so we should not favor one over the other, let alone be disrespectful to the princess; Even if the king is in charge of the kingdom now, who knows who will be in charge of this kingdom in the future? ”

Well?

Obviously, there is something wrong with that.

After all, at this time, the country of Yu was still in power, how could you say such a rebellious thing?

When the secretary of the state heard this, he said with a calm face: "What does Situ mean by this? No matter how things will develop in the future, we, as courtiers of the kingdom, should not say such a rebellious thing. ”

"Great rebellion? Why is my words so rebellious, and those who are promising in the world deserve it. Today's monarch, as a secretary of the royal family, does not think of being loyal to my king, and knows all day long that he is trying to confuse the Son of Heaven and fool the people; In order to please the demon woman, she actually made an ugly thing about the princes of the beacon show. The prestige of today's son has been greatly reduced, and the princes of the world no longer trust the son of heaven. Do you say that such a secretary is really doing things for the royal family? Since such a king does not seek the benefit of the people and is not loyal to the Son of Heaven, are our courtiers still willing to be loyal to him? Anyway, it's already this time, and Situ Guo has completely let go, and expressed his dissatisfaction with Father Yu Shi as it is.

"You, you, you, as a courtier of the kingdom of Qiu, dare to slander the king, what are your intentions?" When the secretary of the state heard this, he was angry, and pointed at Situ and said: "Such a big rebellion, I have to investigate you." Someone is coming---, take down this rebellious thief for me. ”

"Hmph---, you still want to take me?" Situ of Yu Guo also became stubborn, and said to Shangqing very disrespectfully, "When I was Sima back then, you were just a Situ, and it wasn't because you have been helping Father Yu Shi do bad things that you have today's results. ”

Yes?

The ministers present looked at Situ in surprise.
