Zhang Yanghao and the other four asked to join the gang, and their kneeling posture was much more standard than that of ordinary people, prostrate on the ground, calling them "Your Majesty", and voluntarily followed the emperor to eliminate the traitors.

Han Ruzi accepted these four people and appointed them as generals and deputy to Chao Hua and Jin Chunbao. Seeing them happily thanking him, Han Ruzi knew that they had been co-opted by the King of the East China Sea, although the sons of the nobles were acting recklessly, they all thought highly of themselves, and would rather not be an official than be subservient.

Han Ruzi didn't say anything, through the experience of the past two days, he understood more and more a truth, these seven or eight hundred "rabble" are his biggest guarantee, it is enough to drive away the guards of the East China Sea King, instead of fighting with the East China Sea King for a soldier and a general, it is better to wholeheartedly build the volunteers into a real army.

He lamented only one thing, too little time and too many problems.

Soon after dawn, Chao Hua led his troops back to the village, brought several boatloads of food, solved the urgent need, seven or eight hundred volunteers were waiting for breakfast, if they couldn't even eat a meal, many people would leave with their hands left, even the Jade Emperor could not stay.

Han Ruzi himself was hungry and was about to eat with the volunteers, but the king of the East China Sea stepped beside him and whispered, "You want to share weal and woe with them?" ”

Han Ruzi nodded, he went through all the hundred teams last night, remembered a lot of names, and had to do more today.

The King of the East China Sea smiled: "Can I persuade you?" ”

"Say."

"When sharing weal and woe is also scored, there is happiness and not enjoyment, it is called common suffering, but you don't have 'sweetness' now, only bitterness. This is not called shared suffering. This is a sign of weakness. They look up to you as an emperor, but you have to deign to walk among them and boast of yourself. ”

"You don't call it a word." After Han Ruzi finished speaking, he still went back to the house to wait, although the king of the East China Sea was insidious and cunning, but what he said was not wrong, Han Ruzi relied on the emperor's mystery to quickly obtain everyone's obedience, and now is indeed not the time to show his pro-people side.

The King of the East Sea also came in and rubbed his belly. "It's been a long time since I've been so hungry, and last time I was in the palace, remember? As soon as there is something going on in the palace, those guys will forget about the two of us. ”

"Yes."

The King of the East Sea took a look around, "After breakfast, it's time for us to go, right?" ”

"From Jingnan to Jingbei, across the capital, you have to discuss the route first, and then set off."

"The route is ready." The King of the East Sea stepped forward and took out a roll of paper from his sleeve. When it was unfolded, it turned out to be a simple map, "The north side of the abduction lake leads directly to the big river." You can go by boat, didn't you send someone to Huailing County yesterday, the mad monk Guangding will go to the north bank of the river to meet you, as long as he sees you, he will be relieved. ”

"So, I don't have to be involved in the uprising?"

"They are bare-tops, and they are very dangerous in the chaos, so I advise you to stay in the south. You train this group of people well, bring as many as you can, and give them to Guangding, so that the force of the lure will be greater, and maybe you can bring more people to join. ”

Han Ruzi looked at the map carefully for a while, "When will Cui Taifu's southern army move?" ”

"Once someone in Jingbei and Jingnan starts an incident under your banner, the Queen Mother will inevitably ask the Northern and Southern Army to send troops to suppress it, and of course my uncle's army will not exterminate us, but will come to protect you in the name of righteousness." The king of the East China Sea pointed to the map, "There is the Cui family's internal response at the south gate of the capital, and the city gate will be opened after receiving the code, and the southern army will rush into the city at night, take over the city gates, and then surround the palace, and the big thing can be done." ”

"There's still a guard in the palace."

"The Su Guards have a false name, how can they be the opponents of the Southern Army? And I inquired, Shangguan Xuan had previously lost the seal of the Great Sima of the Southern Army, and his prestige was disgraced, and he was forcibly appointed by the Queen Mother as the general of the Su Guard, and he was not supported by the soldiers under his command. When the time comes, you will also enter the city, and with you, the guards will most likely open the door to the palace, but it is really not good, and it is not too late to attack. ”

"And then?"

"Then it's simple, abolish the puppet emperor, move the queen mother, order the civil and military ministers, the only trouble is the champion Hou, in the past six months, he has trained the northern army well, but the foundation is not stable after all, crown him king, see his reaction, accept the title, just wait for later, don't accept, then come to a decisive battle, with the strength of the southern army, it is easy to defeat the northern army."

Han Ruzi was silent, and the guards outside happened to bring a hot breakfast, and the conversation between the two was temporarily suspended.

A bowl of brown rice with two pickled fish on it, this is the emperor's breakfast, and the treatment of the king of the East China Sea is even worse, there is only one pickled fish.

Waiting for the guards to withdraw, the king of the East China Sea picked up the pickled fish in his bowl with chopsticks, sniffed it lightly, and said in disgust: "Don't eat it, the fish stinks." ”

Han Ruzi was really hungry, and no matter what the taste was, he swallowed the rice and fish.

The King of the East China Sea was actually hungry, he barely ate a few bites of rice, the fish didn't move at all, and when Han Ruzi had almost eaten, he continued: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, while your reputation is still there, you can still regain the throne, and after a while, even if the Qi Looker talks about it, it won't be able to make the people think of you." ”

"Okay, go and call the left and right generals, the chief bookkeeper and Lin Kunshan, and calculate how many boats we have, how many people we can bring, who will go to Jingbei and who will stay in Jingnan."

The king of the East Sea smiled and received the order, but his face sank when he turned around and walked out.

When discussing the marching plan, Han Ruzi had to ask about everything clearly, and tried to delay the time as much as possible, hoping to wait for Jin Chunzhong and Ma Daneng to bring back the news of Yang Feng.

In this way, the whole morning passed, and Han Ruzi couldn't ask more questions, but when it was time for lunch, "I can't go to Jingbei hungry." ”

Smoke rose again in the riverside village, and Han Ruzi decided to delay it for a while in the afternoon, and then set off tomorrow morning under the pretext that it was not suitable for taking a boat after dark. What to do tomorrow, he doesn't know, he can only take one step at a time.

As soon as the meal here was ready, and before it could be divided, the scouts outside the stockade hurried back and reported a big news: the officers and soldiers had arrived.

Dozens of villages had people gathered at Kidnapping Lake, and no matter how slow the government responded, it finally noticed.

The King of the East Sea shook his head and sighed, "Before the incident, the Southern Army must not act rashly. We can only protect ourselves. Wait an extra hour. The danger will increase by one point, and if it continues like this, the imperial court will take precautions against the uprisings in Jingbei and Jingnan......"

Han Ruzi was very happy that there were officers and soldiers coming to attack, and immediately summoned the generals again, and the first order was to send more scouts to find out where and how many officers and soldiers were.

If it was just the county government, there shouldn't be too many officers and soldiers. Han Ruzi guessed correctly and quickly sent back the news. There were only more than 100 officers and men, and they had already traveled three miles away, and they were rushing to the smoke of the cooking, and they were very fast.

Han Ruzi tried hard to recall the military book, but found that he didn't do anything right, so he simply didn't think about it, and sent troops based on his own intuition: Chaohua was most familiar with the surrounding terrain, so he led the troops to meet the battle, Jin Chunbao set up an ambush on the flanks, and Han Ruzi left a few people to guard the village.

The King of the East Sea watched. Occasionally, when I had something to say, I forcibly held back.

The people took the command and departed. Han Ruzi could no longer stay in the house to remain "mysterious" this time, and personally went to the watchtower in the village to watch the battle, and on the way, he went to Jin Chuiduo to ask for a few "Ling Arrows".

Yahuan Dragonfly went out, handed over five arrows to Han Ruzi, and reminded: "There are ten in total, some are borrowed and some are returned, and one cannot be less when they are returned." ”

When he walked towards the watchtower, the king of the East Sea smiled and said, "Is the person inside Hu You?" That's a famous beauty in the capital, it's good to be an emperor......"

Han Ruzi ignored him and climbed up the watchtower, the king of the East China Sea glanced at the simple wooden ladder, did not follow it, looked around, there were no people around him, they were all flustered volunteers, and they were a little scared when they heard that they were going to fight with the officers and soldiers.

Lin Kunshan walked around the neighborhood, strictly abiding by the rules of the Qi Watcher, and taking advantage of the trend, now that the general trend was brewing, he didn't even want to say a word.

The watchtower was not very high, Han Ruzi and two guards stood on it, looking out, only to see a large area of reeds in the near distance and dense woods in the distance, not to mention the officers and soldiers, not even their own people who were heading to the battlefield.

One of the guards, who was a nearby villager, pointed to a patch of reeds, "It's shaking badly, it must be an officer and soldier." ”

Han Ruzi noticed that the officers and soldiers were not far from the village, he began to get nervous, he didn't know if his plan could succeed, it stands to reason that an unformed army could not go out to confront the enemy head-on, should guard the barracks, and exercise tactics in defense, but he did the opposite, sent most of the soldiers, leaving only forty or fifty people to guard the village.

If it is defeated, it is a complete defeat.

The king of the East China Sea below quietly ordered a few soldiers to go to the lake to prepare boats, if there was an accident, he didn't want to fight with the officers and soldiers, but wanted to take Han Ruzi down the north to the north.

He somewhat hoped that this battle would be defeated, and without the support of this rabble, Han Ruzi would be better controlled.

The figures in the reeds were faintly visible, less than two miles apart, and the voice came clearly, "The stockade is ahead!" "Someone in the stockade is watching us." "Chong, catch the fake emperor and receive the reward!"

The officers and soldiers shouted in unison, the reeds shook more violently, and the two guards looked at each other and whispered, "Emperor, let's go down and avoid it." ”

"There's no hurry." Han Ruzi was looking everywhere for the two teams he had sent.

Suddenly there was a roar outside the stockade, which startled the people in the stockade, and the king of the East China Sea held on to the wooden ladder of the watchtower, looked at the lake, and saw that the soldiers had already boarded the boat, and his heart was a little relieved.

"It's our people!" Han Ruzi said loudly, he saw that a team led by Chao Hua was attacking dozens of steps away from the officers and soldiers, shouting loudly and shaking the reeds.

The officers and men thought that they had only come to arrest the bold civilians, but they did not expect to be attacked, let alone a sudden attack, and the number seemed to be ten times that of them, and they were suddenly in disarray.

Han Ruzi stared at the shaking reeds, trying to judge the situation on the battlefield.

A moment later, another killing sound sounded, and the second team led by Jin Chunbao cut off the retreat of the officers and soldiers.

Han Ruzi's heart was in his throat, if the officers and soldiers were well-trained, they would soon find that although the besiegers were numerous, they did not have many weapons, and they did not abide by the rules and regulations, they were just a group of chaotic people, and the officers and soldiers had a great chance of winning whether they counterattacked on the spot or continued to attack the riverside village.

There is only one reason why Han Ruzi dared to face the battle: he couldn't see the battlefield situation clearly from the watchtower, and the officers and soldiers in it couldn't see clearly, they would panic and flee if they panicked.

He wants to capture these officers and soldiers alive.

After waiting for a while, the shouting outside became louder and louder, and the position of the officers and soldiers finally changed, and the shaking of the reeds was extending towards the river.

Han Ruzi's heart relaxed a little, turned his head to look, and saw a dragonfly waving at him in the distance, so he waved his hand too.

The dragonfly returned to the house, "Miss, you don't have to go out in person, I think the emperor will probably win this battle." ”

Looking downstairs, the King of the East Sea sighed in disappointment.
