Chapter 341: A Difficult Night

On the night of the end of the battle, the king of the East Sea woke up, and with the impression of a corpse falling from the sky in his mind, he sat up suddenly, stretched out his hands to push, and as a result, he pounced into the air, and his heart was shocked, and he broke out in a cold sweat. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He sat on the bed, dressed in clean clothes, and the pain was excruciating in several parts of his body, as if he had been wounded, but he was not dead, he could still breathe, think, and still feel fear and joy.

"I'm not dead?"

"You're dead, and this is Hades." A cold voice said.

The King of the East China Sea was taken aback, turned his head to look, and saw Cui Teng, who was covered in blood, staring at him with a serious face, and his heart was even more shocked.

"We're all dead, let's go, follow me to see Hades, and reincarnate as soon as possible." Cui Teng lowered his voice, and he looked even more gloomy.

The king of the East China Sea was not so stupid, only his brain was a little dizzy when he first woke up, but now he is completely awake, looking at the clean bedding and clothes, he knows that this is his bedroom in the palace of the king, and it is by no means hell, but he was still frightened, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his body, "Get out!" You die yourself, I don't follow. ”

"Haha." Cui Teng laughed, he didn't even change his armor to visit the King of the East China Sea, but when he saw his cousin wake up, he couldn't help but joke, "Let's drink!" ”

Cui Teng left, the East China Sea King was angry, slowly moved to the bedside, wanted to go down to the ground to see if everything was normal, just put on his shoes, but saw the emperor sitting in the corner, and was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty ......"

Han Ruzi stood up, "Have a good rest, I'll call someone." ”

"Thanks, I...... How long has Your Majesty been here? ”

"Not long." Han Ruzi's clothes didn't change, he smiled at the East Sea King, and walked out.

"Your Majesty......" The king of the East China Sea had something to say, but he didn't know what to say, "The city is defended?" ”

"Well, hold it for the time being, the Xiongnu Right Xian King is mobilizing his army, and now he is less than twenty miles away from the city, maybe he will attack the city tonight."

"He must be angry."

Han Ruzi nodded, walked out of the room, let the entourage of the King of the East Sea in, and went to meet the general outside, he still had a lot to do.

Jincheng was finally not breached, but the losses were heavy, nearly half of the casualties, after welcoming the reinforcements, the strength of the defenders did not increase, but decreased, and the army led by Feng Shili also retreated very hard, and has been pursued by the angry Huns, the situation is unknown.

The Su guards who rushed to the rescue suffered particularly heavy losses, more than 2,000 people came, only seven or eight hundred people entered the city alive, the general Chao Hua died in his duties, and the eunuch Cai Xinghai knelt on the ground to plead guilty, he already understood that he had been fooled, and almost became the precursor of the Huns.

Of course, Han Ruzi would not blame him, without this support army, King Youxian would still find an excuse to attack the city, and he got a lot of news from the outside world from Cai Xinghai, which was very important to him.

"I really don't understand what Yang Feng thinks, but he actually ...... ...... Actually" Cai Xinghai couldn't continue, he heard about the situation in the capital on the way to the march, and he didn't have the opportunity to question Yang Feng face to face.

Yang Feng chose not one, but two successors to the throne, one of whom was still in the hands of the rebels, although the matter was never officially made public, but many people heard about it, felt puzzled, and even angry, Cai Xinghai was one of them.

Han Ruzi immediately understood the intention of this move, in this way, Da Dan Yu could not attack the city and kill the emperor, the living emperor could attract reinforcements, the dead emperor was worthless, and Da Chu would set up a new monarch.

As for making the British king one of the options, one is to divide the Huns and the Qi rebels, and the other is not to give the ministers the opportunity to rebel - even if someone wants to quickly change the emperor, they will not be able to unify their forces because of two choices.

"Don't doubt Yang Gong, there is nothing wrong with what he did." Han Ruzi breathed a sigh of relief, the situation was still critical, but there was a little room for maneuver.

Cai Xinghai suffered many places on his body, and seeing that the emperor was so calm, he also quieted down and kowtowed to retire.

"When General Chao is buried, I will be there in person." Han Ruzi reminded.

"Yes." Cai Xinghai stepped back.

Chao Hua was not a capable general, nor did he perform immortal feats, but he and those fishermen and soldiers in Jingnan meant a lot to the emperor, and Han Ruzi had to personally bury him.

Fan Bangshan saved his life, but his injuries were too serious to command the defense of the city, so Han Ruzi went to the bed to comfort him, and then summoned the surviving generals to arrange the defense of the city.

If the Huns really launched an attack desperately tonight, Jincheng was unable to defend, there were too few soldiers, and they were all extremely tired, Han Ruzi could only let the soldiers who did not participate in the war at that time go to the top of the city, with more banners and more earth and stone equipment, hoping to scare the Huns.

Most of these soldiers are ordinary people, and their biggest role is to bluff.

The surviving veterans are all rested.

The accompanying civil officials also lined up in the streets for battle, but did not have the opportunity to leave the city, so they acted as the general of the city and supervised the soldiers at the head of the city.

Han Ruzi himself did not rest, and took more than a dozen guards to patrol around, and more than 30 guards squeezed out of the city gate during the day, caught up with the battle, and most of them came back, the losses were not serious, but it had no impact on the situation, and the two armies faced each other, and it was indeed not the time for them to play a role.

The Hun camp outside the city was brightly lit, as if he was preparing something, and Han Ruzi went to the city several times to watch, but he didn't come up with a good plan.

Cui Teng said that he was going to drink, change into clean armor, eat some food, or come to the emperor, but he was not injured, he was alive and kicking, and he was disdainful of the threat in front of him, "If the Huns dare to call again, they will kill him without leaving a piece of armor." ”

Han Ruzi did not have this kind of confidence and was silent.

Meng E, who was behind her, walked up and whispered, "When will Your Majesty let us out of the city?" ”

Cui Teng didn't understand what the female guard was saying, but Han Ruzi was startled, since it got dark, he had looked at the guard behind him three times, and no one else noticed, but Meng E had already guessed what he was thinking.

The biggest threat is not the Xiongnu army, but the right Xian King, who wants to attack the city for his own interests, in order to wash away the humiliation of the abduction of the concubine, and even more to attack the city, killing him, seems to be the easiest way to defend the city.

Han Ruzi shook his head, "No, there is no chance of success." ”

"There are no fewer chances than defending the city with all your might." Meng E glanced back at the guards and continued, "We discussed a plan to use the flower ......."

"You guys?" Han Ruzi asked in surprise.

"Well, we all think that it is feasible to assassinate the Right Virtuous King, Hua Bin brought in ten people from outside the city, and we went out of the city in the same number, bringing a human head, claiming to be His Majesty's, as long as we can enter the tent......"

Han Ruzi still shook his head, King Youxian didn't trust the Chu people, and he would never meet a group of Jianghu guests unguarded, even the most "favored" Deng Cui didn't have a chance to approach King Youxian alone.

"Your Majesty still has to wait for reinforcements?"

The arrival of Feng Shili's support army is still somewhat expected, and now he has retreated all the way, and there is no way to turn back, as for the other two Chu armies, one is in Mayi City outside the Saiwai, and the other is slowly approaching Yan State, it is impossible to come to save Jincheng, especially tonight, miracles cannot happen one after another.

A group of Huns went out of the camp and lined up, it seemed that they were in a defensive position, if they really wanted to attack the city, the Huns also had to use tools, they obviously accepted the lesson of the last time, first defended, and then formed siege engines.

"You ...... You can prepare, but unless the Huns really attack the city, you don't act. ”

"Yes."

Meng E asked the accompanying eunuch for pen and paper, and asked the emperor to write a handwritten edict, so that she could choose the guards and take away the imprisoned flowers.

The guards were divided into two teams, one was taken away by Meng E, and the other was still commanded by Wang He, whose only task was to protect the emperor closely.

As for Hua Bintong's disagreement with this plan, it didn't matter, he had to follow him out of the city anyway.

The tunnel out of the city has been sealed, Meng E and others can only guard behind the city gate, once necessary, immediately open the door, rush out on horseback, as for whether they can gain the trust of the Huns in time, can only be said at that time, that is the first test they will face.

Han Ruzi led people down to the city, and since he was going to send assassins, he was not suitable to show his face in the city.

He lived in the barracks, so that he could get news from the city at any time, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the assassination plan was not feasible, and he wanted to recruit Meng E and others back to his side several times, and once even asked Zhang Youcai to prepare pen and paper, but after lifting the pen, he still put it down.

There is no plan that will come to fruition, Meng E is right, assassinating the Right Xian King is no more difficult than simply guarding Jincheng, one more chance is counted as one, it is better than sitting still.

From time to time, news came from the city that the Huns had set up more than a dozen siege engines and sent soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and it seemed that they planned to attack the city at dawn.

In the second half of the night, Cui Teng was so sleepy that he found a tent in the camp to sleep, but Han Ruzi was reading at night, he had nothing else to do, so he had to read books, trying to find a little confidence and strategy from Taizu's experience, but he couldn't see it at all, Taizu's experience was completely different from this time, and there was nothing to learn from.

The king of the East China Sea came, and Liu Jie sent him to the emperor's tent without being informed.

After glancing, the king of the East China Sea asked, "Cui Teng is not here?" ”

"He went to rest, did you sleep?"

"Well, I really don't understand, Cui Teng, this kid is covered in blood, but he is still a living tiger?"

"The blood stains were on the body when he was moving, and he didn't have time to go to war."

"Hey." The king of the East China Sea thought that he was a hundred times smarter than Cui Teng, but he didn't expect to be fooled by him, "This guy ......"

"He didn't catch up, not intentionally avoiding the war."

The king of the East China Sea believed that Cui Teng was not so slippery, but he still sneered, expressed his disbelief, and then said: "The Huns are about to attack the city at dawn?" ”

"So it seems."

"Will there be any reinforcements?"

Han Ruzi was silent for a moment, "No." ”

"Then there is only one way to hold Jincheng."

"Huh?"

Han Ruzi thought that the king of the East China Sea also thought of assassination, but he said another plan, "Ask Da Shan Yu for help." ”

Da Dan hopes for peace talks, and the right virtuous king is disobeying his orders to attack the city, but there is a trouble that cannot be solved.

"Da Danyu is not outside the city, and the Huns will not let the envoy over."

"Fight, as soon as the morning dawns, the envoy went out of the city with great fanfare, claiming that he wanted to see Da Shan Yu, so that the Huns outside the city could see it, and he bet that the right Xian King would not dare to directly disobey Da Shan Yu's order."

"The Right Virtuous King dares to attack the city, but he doesn't dare to kill the messenger?"

"So it's a gamble, King Youxian is angry at the moment, and he has to calm down." The East Sea King bit his lip and paused, "I'll go." (To be continued.) )
