The stairs in the city tower were crowded with heavily armed soldiers, and the people who went upstairs could only walk sideways, and Meng E handed over his waist knife before being let go.

The upstairs room was very spacious, and there were also many guards standing, Han Ruzi didn't find the target at first glance, and under the reminder of the master of Shenxiong Guan, he finally saw his cousin Han Tong in the corner behind several guards.

The two must have met before, one sat on the emperor's throne, and the other stood with many clan disciples, therefore, Han Tong recognized Han Ruzi, but Han Ruzi had no impression of that face.

There is a reason why the master book is busy, he took a few steps forward and said with a sneer: "General Zuo, the customs clearance documents ......"

Han Tong stretched out his arms and waved outward, as if he was picking up annoying insects, but the main book was more persistent than insects, and he took two steps forward, "General Zuo, I can't get out without paperwork, my general ......"

Han Tong suddenly strode forward, aggressive, holding the handle of the knife in his right hand, and said to the master book through gritted teeth: "No one can get out of the customs, not even a mouse." ”

The main book was stunned, and regretted handing over the official seal before, "But...... But ......"

"Someone! Come! Han Tong suddenly shouted, as if he was in great danger.

Not only the main book, but even Han Ruzi was taken aback, not understanding why this cousin's reaction was so fierce.

"Take him out, get out of it, drag it out, I don't want to see him again! I don't want to look at it! ”

The guards in the house were all brought by Han Tong from the Northern Army, and two of them stepped forward, put up the arms of the main bookkeeper and walked out, the master bookkeeper was shocked and frightened, and he was confused, how could he offend this general of the Northern Army?

Han Tong was about eighteen or nineteen years old, his expression was gloomy and panicked, but he wanted to make a majestic and calm appearance, his hands clenched into fists, pressed on the bookcase, and his eyes fell on Han Ruzi's feet, as if he was talking to a bug, "You are finally here, I knew you would come." ”

Han Ruzi was inexplicable, "Well, I just arrived, and it is said that General Tong arrived a little earlier than me. ”

"For a while? Haha, just this moment, Shenxiongguan fell into my hands! ”

Han Ruzi glanced at Meng E, motioned for her to stay where she was, and took two steps forward by herself.

Han Tong looked even more nervous, even if there were tall and sturdy guards around him, he still didn't have confidence, for fear of being hurt by his teenage cousin, his fists clenched tighter, but he didn't yell like just now, his eyes were always lowered, and he just refused to look at Han Ruzi.

Han Ruzi could clearly feel that this person was afraid of him.

"The Hun army has attacked the Broken Iron City, what is General Tong's plan?"

"Huns...... Huns...... How could there be a Huns? "When Han Tong was ordered to come to Shenxiong Pass, there was no news of the Huns, and he was shocked when he heard that the army had arrived in the morning, and he has not eased up until now.

"What are General Kiri's plans?" Han Ruzi asked again.

Han Tong slowly sat on the chair and put his hand on his forehead, "Plans?" Champion Hou didn't say it...... Champion Hou asked me to guard the Shenxiong Pass and not allow anyone to pass through ......"

Han Tong raised his head and finally looked at Han Ruzi, "Especially I can't let you go back to Beijing." ”

Han Ruzi smiled, "I didn't want to go back to Beijing, I came to move the rescuers." ”

Han Tong also smiled, proud, and a little crazy, "I thought I missed it, but I was a little earlier than you, haha, the champion Hou is like a god, you can't go!" Can't walk ......."

Waiting for the other party's laughter to subside, Han Ruzi said: "Shenxiong Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the Huns come, they won't be able to attack it for a while and a half, General Tong doesn't need to panic." ”

"Huns...... Easy to defend the difficult level......" Han Tong's whole body suddenly trembled, "How did you get in?" North Gate ...... The north gate should also be closed, and it should be closed immediately. ”

Han Tong stretched out his hand and touched the table, a guard beside him couldn't look at it, and stepped forward to help lay the paper and ink, Han Tong picked up the pen, quickly wrote an order, and then took out the official seal from his arms, pressed it seriously, handed the order to the guard, and the guard left in a hurry.

Han Ruzi watched silently, waiting for the guards to take the order, he said: "I have already come, just stand in front of General Tong, ask General Tong to switch and let the people go, and then mobilize the army outside the gate to immediately go to support the Broken Iron City." ”

Han Tong looked surprised, as if he was wondering why Han Ruzi was still here, "I have already sent someone to inform the champion Hou, he will make a decision, I just need to guard the gate, not open the door." ”

Han Ruzi accentuated his tone slightly, "The Broken Iron City is in danger, whoever comes will immediately send reinforcements, please General Tong make a decision immediately." ”

"I'm just guarding the gates."

"There are 30,000 Chu troops in the Broken Iron City."

"I'm just guarding the gates."

"Lose the broken iron city, the Chu army can only defend the Shenxiong Pass, and it will be difficult to get out of the pass for a decisive battle."

"I'm just guarding the gates."

"There are also five hundred noble sons in the Broken Iron City, all of whom have prominent family backgrounds."

"I'm just guarding the gates."

No matter what Han Ruzi said, Han Tong had only one answer.

Han Ruzi turned around and took a look, there were at least ten guards in the room, and Meng E was standing at the door, looking like she couldn't do it with one against ten, and protect the safety of the tired marquis.

"Okay. When will Champion Hou arrive? ”

"I've sent someone to inform the champion, I'll only guard the pass."

Han Ruzi turned around and walked towards the door, but the guards did not stop him.

At the door, Meng E made a look, Han Ruzi shook his head slightly, Han Tong was extremely wary, and now it was a risk to seize the Indian Tai.

Downstairs in the city, everyone was waiting in a hurry, and the master book was depressed and had not come back to his senses.

"Brother-in-law, get ...... Forget it, when I didn't ask. Cui Teng saw that Han Ruzi returned empty-handed.

Han Ruzi led everyone away, the streets were crowded with people and vehicles, and many people didn't care about customs clearance documents, they just wanted to get out of the city immediately and avoid the Hun army that would kill at any time.

Han Ruzi stopped, "General Tong refuses to open the city gate, refuses to mobilize reinforcements, and refuses to hand over the official seal, he has to wait for the order of the champion Hou." ”

Cui Teng was stunned and said: "Champion Hou is hundreds of miles away, and it won't take five or six days to come and go?" By then, the broken iron city would have already belonged to the Huns. ”

Han Ruzi asked the master bookkeeper, "How many soldiers are there in Shenxiong Pass?" ”

The chief bookkeeper was completely unassertive, and immediately replied: "There are 1,000 people inside the pass, and there are 4,000 or 5,000 people in the military camp outside the pass, and if you want more people, you have to transfer troops from elsewhere." ”

"Without the official seal, how many people can you mobilize?"

"Huh?" The master book has a hunch that something is not going well.

Cui Teng grabbed him by the collar, "Don't pretend to be confused, ask how many people you can mobilize?" ”

The master bookkeeper smiled bitterly: "There is no official seal...... Only the guards in the yamen can obey my orders, more than twenty people. ”

"Where's the family?"

"Forty or fifty people, old and young, they don't know how to fight."

"Let them put on their armor and bring them here, and tell them that there is no need to fight, and that they will be strong."

"I am the chief secretary of General Wu, so I will not be involved in the affairs between General Zhenbei and General Zuo." The master book was scared.

"If you want to get out of the city, just do as I say, and whether it is successful or not, it will not affect you."

The master bookkeeper was still hesitating, Cui Teng grabbed his collar again, the master bookkeeper had an idea, and hurriedly said: "Yes, please come with Cui Ergongzi, you are the son of Cui Taifu, and your words have more weight than me." ”

"Of course." Cui Teng pushed the main book to the yamen, and Han Ruzi sent five guards to follow.

He called Du Chuanyun over, "When I was upstairs, one of General Tong's guards went downstairs and went to the north gate to give an order, did you see him?" ”

"See."

"Remember what he looked like?"

"Yes."

"Take someone to stop him and persuade him to take us into the tower, if he doesn't agree......"

"I know what to do." Du Chuanyun has already run away.

Han Ruzi still assigned five guards to follow, so that there were only ten guards left around him, including Meng E, and an old general Fang Daye, who had been silent.

"After getting the official seal, General Fang will be able to go out of the city."

"Hmm." Fang Daye didn't even say a word of thanks, walked away, and crowded with the ordinary people on the street.

Han Ruzi and the guards stood on the side of the street waiting, not far away in a car, the burden was piled up, and on the top sat two children, crying loudly, and the parents were anxiously looking at the city gate, not having the energy to take care of it.

Compared with the period of Emperor Wu, Great Chu did decline, but it was not to the point of being vulnerable, and Han Ruzi secretly decided that he must repel the Huns instead of passively defending the city.

Cui Teng and the main bookkeeper were the first to rush back, bringing more than 100 people, which were more than expected, and I don't know how Cui Teng requisitioned them.

"Let's go to war." Cui Teng was full of interest, he was not afraid of anything, but the soldiers and family members who were requisitioned were as pale as their master book, and they were already timid before they could make a move.

"Wait." Han Ruzi said.

After a while, Du Chuanyun also came back, "He was disobedient and was tied up by me." Turning around and pointing back, at an intersection, Han Ruzi's five guards were holding Han Tong's heralds. There was chaos in the streets, and no one cared about kidnapping in broad daylight.

Han Ruzi was about to give an order, when there was a sudden riot under the city gate, many people were shouting "open the city gate", but there was no response, the angry people turned to the city tower, and a tall figure rushed to the front, and said angrily: "The city gate official is above, let him come out and say something!" ”

Fang Daye was dressed in civilian clothes, and when he shouted, more people followed, shouting for the city gate officials to come out.

Han Tong's guards had more than 100 people, and they drew their swords one after another, but the number of people who came in was too large, and the guards couldn't help but be nervous.

Han Ruzi waved to the rear, and five guards came over with heralds, and Han Ruzi said, "Ask your companion for help." ”

The herald's nose and face were swollen, and he was about to scream, but then he closed his mouth tightly and shook his head angrily. Du Chuanyun said: "I'll come." Jumped into a car, stretched out his hand to drag the herald up, and shouted at the city tower: "There are Hun spies in the north, go and help!" Lo and behold, your people are hurt! ”

The guards inside and outside the tower saw the wounded herald from a distance, and they were shocked and even more disorganized.

Han Ruzi said to Cui Teng and the main bookkeeper: "You can go upstairs to save people." ”

Cui Teng was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, "That's right, Han Tong is in trouble, we have to help, everyone follow me, rescue General Zuo, everyone will be rewarded!" ”

Cui Teng led his troops to break through the crowd and squeezed towards the city tower, the guards couldn't figure out the intention of this group of soldiers, and hesitantly got out of the way, and some guards even squeezed out, trying to meet with the heralds and find out what was going on at the north city gate.

Han Ruzi stood on the side of the street, looking at the chaotic scene he had created, in the past, he would always be a little nervous when he was adventurous, and he would suffer from gains and losses, but this time, he was really calm and composed, believing that the victory was in his hands.

Sometimes, a weak enemy brings a little more confidence. (To be continued.) )
