I stood on the tower and listened to the soldiers guarding the gate say this, and I was stupid.

Then he quickly ran to the bottom of the castle tower and asked what was going on.

Several soldiers told me that when it was almost dawn, Chen Yuanyuan was holding a pipa and was about to go out of the city to find Liu Zongmin.

It stands to reason that if I don't have permission, the soldiers guarding the gate are not allowed to open the gate at will. But they all knew that Liu Zongmin wanted to get Chen Yuanyuan, and at the same time he was afraid that Nanjing would be breached, so he let Chen Yuanyuan out.

After listening to the soldiers, Lao Tzu angrily drew his knife and wanted to cut them, but I couldn't do it while holding the knife.

Although these soldiers did the wrong thing, their intentions were good.

The reason why they did this was not for personal gain, but really wanted to save Nanjing.

But by doing so, he was pushing Chen Yuanyuan into the fire pit.

It was only then that I suddenly understood why Chen Yuanyuan installed a hidden weapon in the pipa last night, presumably she must have wanted to assassinate Liu Zongmin.

And Chen Yuanyuan, a simple person, would definitely not be able to think of such a plan, it must have been Mu Xia who arranged her to do this.

Thinking of this, I rushed directly to Mu Xia's room and yelled: "Mu Xia, do you know that you made a big mistake!" ”

"Brother Emperor, what's wrong with me?"

"You put a hidden weapon in Chen Yuanyuan's pipa, and then asked her to assassinate Liu Zongmin, didn't you push her into the fire pit? She is a weak woman, how could she kill Liu Zongmin. And ......"

I can't go on! In my opinion, Chen Yuanyuan not only can't kill Liu Zongmin, but will be captured by Liu Zongmin, and then defiled by him.

Thinking of Liu Zongmin's lewd thief, rudely lying on Chen Yuanyuan's body, I really don't know what to say.

After I finished speaking, Mu Xia looked at me with a confused face and said, "Brother Emperor, what are you talking about?" How could I ask Sister Yuanyuan to assassinate Liu Zongmin. Last night, she took the initiative to ask me to install a hidden weapon in the pipa, and she didn't tell me that she was going to assassinate Liu Zongmin. Don't? ”

Mu Xia was stunned directly after speaking, looking at her like that, this idea should not have come up with her, but Chen Yuanyuan volunteered to contribute to the country.

"Brother Emperor, could it be that Sister Yuanyuan really went to assassinate Liu Zongmin?" Mu Xia asked.

"Nonsense! Otherwise, I would be in such a hurry! ”

After saying that, I was speechless, and I didn't know what to do at all.

Because relying on the strength of a few of us, it is impossible to rush into Liu Zongmin's camp and rescue Chen Yuanyuan.

As for Liu Zongmin, I waited until noon, and he did not launch an offensive against Nanjing.

Originally, he didn't go on the offensive, so I should be happy.

But now that Chen Yuanyuan has gone to him, the more he doesn't launch an offensive, the more worried I am.

I was even thinking that the reason why Liu Zongmin's lewd thief did not move was that he might have caught Chen Yuanyuan and was launching an "offensive" against Chen Yuanyuan.

Damn it! Thinking of this, Lao Tzu collapsed directly, and he didn't even have the heart to eat.

……

Just when I didn't think about Chen Yuanyuan's tea and dinner, Li Dingguo's deputy Gao Anbang returned to the palace from Liu Zongmin's camp.

Seeing that he was back, I asked eagerly, "General Gao, what is the situation on Liu Zongmin's side?" ”

Gao Anbang said to me: "Your Majesty, after the last general went to Liu Zongmin's military camp, he didn't know what happened to him, and he was actually injured and sick in bed. ”

No way! Hearing this, buddy, I was taken aback.

Liu Zongmin is sick in bed?

Could it be that Chen Yuanyuan really assassinated him, but didn't kill him?

"Did he see you?"

I asked eagerly, because I was worried that Liu Zongmin was not sick in bed at all, but coerced Chen Yuanyuan to do that kind of thing, so I deliberately didn't want to see Gao Anbang.

Although he was sick in bed, he still saw the last general. And for General Li's surrender, he is quite satisfied! ”

As soon as Gao Anbang said this, the stone hanging in my heart finally fell.

At least for now, I can be sure that Liu Zongmin's lewd thief has not yet attacked Chen Yuanyuan.

After confirming Chen Yuanyuan's situation, I asked again: "Did Liu Zongmin tell you when to attack the city?" ”

Liu Zongmin was injured somehow, and he heard his subordinates say that he had to rest for at least three days before he could recover. As for the siege of the city, Liu Zongmin did not express his specific position to me, only said that he welcomed General Li to surrender to him, and said that when General Li came, he must hold a feast to celebrate. ”

Damn, it seems that Liu Zongmin's injury is not very serious.

And even if he is wounded, he can still arrange for his men to lead troops to attack the city.

It made me nervous again, but I couldn't do anything about it.

For a while, my whole body was in chaos, and I felt so anxious!

……

Since Liu Zongmin took the initiative militarily, I could only guard the city of Nanjing and wait for Li Dingguo to arrive.

Soon, three days passed, and Liu Zongmin still did not launch a large army to attack the city; On the other side, in order to stabilize Liu Zongmin, Li Dingguo directly threw down the army and rushed to Nanjing overnight.

After coming to Nanjing, Li Dingguo came directly to see me and discussed with me how to deal with Liu Zongmin.

He said eloquently: "Your Majesty, don't panic first, although my army has not yet arrived in Nanjing, as long as I go to see Liu Zongmin in person, I will be sure to stabilize him!" ”

"Is the general really sure?"

"Your Majesty, you don't know Liu Zongmin. Liu Zongmin and my third brother Liu Wenxiu are fellow villagers, I have met him many times, and I recognize him as my uncle. Although he has good military ability, he is not decisive at all. So as long as I blow a little wind in his ears, he will definitely not attack Nanjing immediately! In this way, when our army arrives in Nanjing, it will be too late for him to attack the city. ”

Li Dingguo is right, the history books do record that Liu Zongmin and Liu Wenxiu are fellow villagers, and they also said that Liu Zongmin is indecisive and has a rough personality.

Hearing Li Dingguo say this, I was thinking that since Liu Zongmin was so stupid.

It is better to let Li Dingguo directly recruit him and let him return to the imperial court.

In this way, won't the siege of Nanjing be easily resolved?

So I said to Li Dingguo: "General Li, since you can stabilize Liu Zongmin, can you persuade him to return to the imperial court?" ”

After Li Dingguo heard this, he first paused for a moment, and then frowned and said: "The emperor doesn't know, although Liu Zongmin can fight well, he is illiterate, and he has no ambitions for the world. If you want to persuade him, I'm afraid it's impossible! ”

Forehead......

As soon as Li Dingguo said this, I could only give up the plan to persuade him to surrender.

After all, Liu Zongmin is different from Li Dingguo and his three brothers, although their three brothers are mixing with Zhang Xianzhong's local peasants, Zhang Xianzhong hates to attach importance to their education, so that when they become adults, they always want to worship the marquis and glorify the court, rather than being a grass coward for a lifetime.

This is the same as Zheng Chenggong's thief king Zheng Zhilong.

Although Zheng Zhilong himself was a pirate, he let his son learn the way of Confucius and Mencius, but after Zheng Chenggong became an adult, all he thought about was how to serve the country and forget all about piracy.

After reporting his plan to me, Li Dingguo stood up and said, "Your Majesty, time is running out. I have to go to Liu Zongmin's camp now, otherwise I will have a lot of dreams at night! ”

"That's good! I am waiting for your good news! ”

After speaking, Li Dingguo walked out.

As soon as he walked out, I called him back.

After Li Dingguo came back, he said to me in surprise: "Your Majesty, is there anything else?" ”

Of course, I still have something, I want to follow Li Dingguo, lead people into Liu Zongmin's camp, and then rescue Chen Yuanyuan.

"I want to go to Liu Zongmin's camp with you!"

Hearing me say this, Li Dingguo looked surprised and asked me why I was going.

I explained to him and told him that Chen Yuanyuan went to the camp alone to assassinate Liu Zongmin.

After Li Dingguo heard this, he admired Chen Yuanyuan very much, and told me that he didn't expect Chen Yuanyuan, a woman in the dust, to have such courage and courage.

Although he admired Chen Yuanyuan, he did not approve of my approach.

He was worried that after I entered Liu Zongmin's camp, once I was discovered, I would probably become Liu Zongmin's ghost.

Yes, he was right, it was indeed dangerous to go deep into the enemy camp to rescue Chen Yuanyuan.

But Chen Yuanyuan didn't even care about his own life in order to help me relieve the siege of Nanjing, what else do I have to worry about as a man?

A husband is weak and can't protect a woman, how can he protect the world!

Thinking of this, I firmly said to Li Dingguo: "You don't have to worry about me, I am free and measured!" ”

After speaking, I selected ten soldiers with superb marksmanship from the firearms battalion, and then disguised myself as Li Dingguo's entourage, and then rushed to Liu Zongmin's camp to prepare to rescue Chen Yuanyuan.
