The small tent was crowded with people, half of the Northern Army guards, half of the Southern Army generals, glaring at each other, but holding back, a tall figure obscuring the candlelight, making the whole tent dim and dangerous, like a jungle, in which poisonous snakes and beasts lurked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The candle was placed on a high stool in the middle of the tent, just in time to illuminate the person who came out to speak.

The first one to come out was a general of the Southern Army, who hugged his fist and said bluntly: "The battle in the city is in full swing, tens of thousands of Southern troops have entered the city, and the victory can be decided in one fell swoop. If we have doubts, please explain. ”

Han Ruzi waited for a while and replied: "The Southern Army is not Cui Taifu's personal army, but the army of the imperial court......"

The general spoke: "Of course, if the emperor is still alive, of course we will obey the orders of the imperial court, but it is rumored that the emperor has died, and several people in the city have established themselves as emperors, and the imperial court has long existed in name only. ”

"King of the East Sea? Mrs. Choi? Han Ruzi proposed two choices, but seeing that the other party did not answer, he continued: "Cui Taifu once lost the Southern Army, when he seized the seal, did you help?" The Empress Dowager's brother Shangguan Xuan has served as the Great Sima of the Southern Army for a period of time, have you ever obeyed? ”

The general was stunned for a moment, "As long as it is the order of the Great Sima of the Southern Army, we have to obey it, as for the capture of the seal, it is not our turn to help, the left and right generals are the cronies of the Great Sima." ”

The generals of the Southern Army nodded in agreement, and when Cui Taifu recaptured the Southern Army that year, the left general Zhao Mengli and the right general Cui Ting contributed the most, and the other generals just went with the flow.

Han Ruzi asked again: "Mrs. Cui didn't retaliate against anyone afterwards?" ”

The general glanced at his companions and replied: "There are a few people who have been dismissed, all of them are cronies promoted by Shangguan, and they have nothing to do with us. ”

Han Ruzi is used to being called "Cui Taifu", and the soldiers of the Southern Army are only called "Da Sima".

"So not only did the bystanders not get you retaliated against, but they also brought you a lot of benefits?"

All the generals of the Southern Army were stunned, and the leader said, "This ...... It's a different situation......"

"Is there any of you who is a close confidant of the King of the East China Sea or Taifu Cui?" Han Ruzi's gaze swept over, although the candlelight was dim, he could still see most people's eyes, "If there is, please bring troops into the city immediately, I will not stop you." ”

No one spoke, Cui Taifu's cronies were basically with him, and only one Zhao Mengli was left behind, and no one in the tent dared to claim to be cronies.

Han Ruzi continued: "Everyone has also seen that there are two emperors in the city, who sent messengers respectively, once during the day and again at night, but they only came to persuade me to enter the city to help, but did not give a clear benefit. Ladies and gentlemen, I don't hide that today's imperial court does exist in name only, let's take a step late, the identity is very embarrassing: helping the strong side, you won't get much thanks after the fact, helping the weak side, and there is a danger of defeat and death. The reason why I didn't move was to wait for them to offer more favorable terms. ”

Han Ruzi let out a long hum, "You also hope that after the chaos is over, you can be promoted to the rank of official and get money and land, right?" ”

The generals of the Southern Army looked at each other, and although they did not answer directly, they did agree with what the Marquis said.

"At least wait until a promise." Han Ruzi stood up, "I will never let go if I don't win the third rank for each of you, and I won't let the soldiers in the battalion get a bounty of one hundred taels or one thousand taels each." ”

Someone laughed.

When the leading general spoke again, his tone softened a lot, "But once the battle in the city is over, no one will open conditions, right?" ”

"You are all battle-hardened veterans, you should understand how difficult it is to attack the city, Cui Taifu has entered the city, and he has not defeated the Su Guards for a whole day, that is, he has encountered an obstacle that is difficult to overcome. The imperial city is also a city, and it is an impregnable city, which cannot be attacked without ten days and a half moon. The messengers in the city will only come more and more often, and the conditions given will get better and better. ”

The generals discussed with each other for a while, and then the leader said, "If the terms offered by the British king are better, should we really help him?" That's ...... Betrayal of the Southern Army. ”

"The Southern Army is the army of the imperial court." Han Ruzi repeated this sentence again, "You are taking the country's money, I not only look at whose conditions are better, but also see which side is more likely to win, the winner is the imperial court, and it is natural to obey the will of the imperial court, how can you say betrayal?" ”

The generals were moved, and the leader hesitated for a moment, and asked carefully: "What if it is the victorious who is tired?" ”

Han Ruzi smiled slightly, "Then you are the ones who make the conditions, not the ones who accept them." ”

The leading general smirked inexplicably, turned his head to look at the guards of the Northern Army, "Everyone said that the main force of the Northern Army will arrive in three days, is it true?" ”

"Three days at most." Han Ruzi said frankly that in fact, he had not received any news.

The generals of the Southern Army retired, no matter how they thought about it, they felt that they were in an extremely advantageous position, and the tired marquis was right, it was the best choice to stand still for the time being.

Han Ruzi was not familiar with the generals of the Southern Army, so he could only lure them to his advantage, and he only said one sentence to the guards of the Northern Army: "You are all my cronies." ”

When the Northern guards left, they were more satisfied than the generals of the Southern Army.

Cai Xinghai stayed, he is not only a cronie, but also a confidant, and he is qualified to discuss the truth with Tihou.

"Did you ever think that Mrs. Cui would really lead the troops to attack the camp after dawn, and the southern army outside was likely to fall in the wind, and the three thousand northern army would not last long."

Han Ruzi laughed twice, "Mrs. Cui is scheming and decisive, what he lacks is courage, he was assassinated, and he attacked the capital in a fit of rage, but he did not occupy the whole city for a long time, which shows that he concentrated all the 60,000 southern troops together, not to attack the fortification, but to fear betrayal again." ”

Han Ruzi stared at the candle for a while, "Mrs. Cui still has doubts about the soldiers around him, let alone the southern army outside the city?" These Southern troops did not resist when I captured Baiqiao Town, and they did not take revenge when I killed Zhao Mengli, which will definitely make Cui Taifu more suspicious. He didn't dare to come, and neither did the king of the East China Sea. ”

Cai Xinghai was persuaded, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of saying it, being an emperor also has to have courage, but only the tired marquis has this courage." ”

Han Ruzi did not deny it, "I'm more worried about Shangguan Sheng, this person has a violent personality and may be rash, in his eyes, the southern army naturally wants to help the southern army, if he wants to take the opportunity to break through and send troops to kill directly from the north gate, it will be a big trouble." ”

Han Ruzi's military camp was too close to the north gate, and once the Su Guards rushed out, he only had a very short time to react.

Cai Xinghai said: "Although the number of three thousand northern troops is not large, but we are willing to go to the soup for the tired marquis, the big deal is that we work harder, always be on guard, how can we block it for a while, and buy a little time for the tired marquis." ”

"Don't be too tired, prepare more antler fences on the road, and don't let the army in the city rush over at once."

Cai Xinghai came up with an idea, "There is a large area of private houses five or six miles ahead, but it is a natural obstacle, and setting up a antler fence there will get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Han Ruzi shook his head, "This is not an attack on the enemy city, try not to disturb the people of the capital." ”

Cai Xinghai was very ashamed and retired with a red face.

Han Ruzi was not as calm as he seemed on the surface, and he was actually uneasy in his heart, but he was so tired that he had to lie down and sleep.

He had many dreams, one time the northern army arrived, another time the army rushed out of the city, and the other time the king of the East China Sea was laughing......

He suddenly woke up, thinking it was time for dawn, but it was pitch black in the tent, and the candles had long since been extinguished, and he didn't know when.

Han Ruzi got up and walked out of the tent, standing at the door and looking up at the sky, it should have been not long after midnight, the sky was full of stars, and then looked into the distance, there was also a fire in the barracks, it was quiet, and most of the people were sleeping soundly.

This is a good thing, it shows that the officers and men of the Southern Army are no longer in a hurry to enter the city to participate in the battle, which is also a bad thing, and the army that is at peace is the most vulnerable to a sneak attack.

Han Ruzi thought to himself that if he was Shangguan Sheng, he should launch an attack at this time, not only to defeat the army outside the north gate, but also to frighten the southern army in the city.

"Take me to see Cai Dujun." Han Ruzi said to the guards at the door.

Cai Xinghai didn't sleep, the camp of the Northern Army was at the forefront, facing the official road, and he was directing the soldiers to build more antler fences through the night.

"Let's pause for now, if the enemy attacks, we have to save some strength for the battle." Han Ruzi asked Cai Xinghai to withdraw the soldiers, and then passed the order to go down, and each battalion extinguished all the torches, and only kept a few dozen in the Chinese military camp.

Looking from the direction of the capital, it seems that there are only a few hundred people left in the camp of more than 40,000 people.

Although Shangguan Sheng is reckless, he is a general after all, and a fake trap may be able to scare him.

Han Ruzi had not really mastered the southern army yet, and he never wanted to start a war at this time.

Time passed little by little, Han Ruzi did not return to the tent, and ordered Cai Xinghai to rest, and he supervised the front.

There was a sudden sound of horses' hooves on the official road, it was not a sneak attacker, it was a scout of the Northern Army, holding a torch, circling around in the antler fence, and soon came to the tired marquis, and reported that Cui Taifu had sent a messenger again, this time there was only one person, not a general, not a minister.

The messenger was brought over, and when he saw the Tired Hou from a distance, he immediately jumped off his horse, clasped his hands into fists, and said with a smile: "Don't come to the Tired Hou. ”

The Qi Looker Lin Kunshan represents not Cui Taifu, but the King of the East China Sea.

Han Ruzi retired the guards and talked to Lin Kunshan behind the antler fence.

"The king of the East China Sea said that he did not forget the agreement, as long as the Tired Marquis publicly announced that he would restore the throne, the King of the East China Sea would immediately remove the emperor title and serve the Tired Marquis as the master."

Han Ruzi shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not the level of a Qi Seeker, just say what you are ready to do." ”

"When you are entrusted by someone, you must come first. Hmm......" Lin Kunshan glanced at the dark barracks, "I didn't ruin any of the plans of the Tired Hou, did I?" ”

"It's okay, my plans aren't so easily ruined."

"Hehe, I'm thinking too much. In this way, although there is a stalemate in the city, the general trend is turning to the tired marquis, and those of us who hope for qi naturally have to take advantage of the trend. ”

Han Ruzi didn't speak.

"Emperor Baoxi and Taizu Sword, are you interested?"

Han Ruzi's face changed.
