Chapter 318: Who is available?
The Huns suddenly stopped the siege and did not regroup the next day, as if they had realized their shortcomings and planned to besiege the city for a long time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Han Ruzi was finally able to take a nap down-to-earth, but after waking up, he was dizzy, and he was still thinking about the incident before going to bed, as if he had never been interrupted by sleep.
Who can go out of the city to send a decree and order all localities to immediately send troops to rescue Jincheng? After Han Ruzi got up, he saw that everyone would weigh it.
Zhang Youcai and loaches? No, they are too young to escape from the encirclement, and they have no officials or positions, one is an ordinary eunuch, the other is a young man from a fishing village, even if they hold the holy decree and the treasure seal in their hands, no one believes them.
Liu Jie, the supervisor of the central department? He had served in the palace for many years, and many courtiers knew him and were loyal enough, but he could not escape the siege.
Meng E? Han Ruzi no longer had the slightest suspicion about her, with her skills, she might have a way to sneak out of the middle of the Hun camp at night, but her identity was destined not to be trusted by officials, and she was worse than Zhang Youcai.
King of the East Sea? Too timid.
Cui Teng? Not considered at all.
Fan Bangshan? The reputation is too loud, and any time you go out of the city, you will attract a large number of Huns.
Other generals? If you charge head-on, even Fan Bangshan may not be able to break out of the encirclement, and others have no hope.
All the ministers? It was most in line with the rules of Da Chu to be passed on by one of them, but it was precisely because they could not leave Jincheng an inch, and Han Ruzi just thought about it for a while, and excluded them all.
There is also a northern army outside the city, I don't know how many people there are? What are you going to do at this time? Can you hold back the Huns......
Han Ruzi had a headache when he thought about it, and smiled at Meng E, who had been protecting him since yesterday: "Emperor's technique? I can only let you see the emperor's helplessness now. ”
"It's not the first time I've seen His Majesty like this."
Han Ruzi smiled, even when he was a puppet in the palace, he had a little room to maneuver, never like now, blocked on all sides, the only hope was that a miracle would happen, and this miracle was completely out of his control.
He first went to the city to look at it for a while, and after confirming that the Huns really had no intention of attacking the city, he summoned civil and military officials in the military camp under the city, and officially appointed Deng Cui, the commander of the Chu State, as the general of the chariot cavalry, and led all the soldiers defending the city.
As soon as yesterday's battle ended, the relatives of the acting prince came to sue the royal court, which was Han Ruzi's answer to this.
The general of the Che Cavalry belongs to the first rank according to the convention, only half a level lower than the general, and has been vacant for many years, and the Acting Captain is the third grade, Deng Cui is considered to be on the rise, but no one envies him, this is a critical order, the responsibility is great, but he will not get any benefits for a while, and he will probably never get it.
Han Ruzi can make decisions alone, but he can't come up with all the solutions alone, he roughly explained the predicament in front of him, and then asked the hundreds of officials: "Why did the Huns stop attacking the city?" ”
The barracks were small, with many honor guards in a circle, the emperor and his ministers all standing, the eunuchs and guards behind the emperor, and the civil and military officials standing on one side, arranged according to rank - no matter how many Huns there were, the Ministry of Rites still had to do things according to the rules and maintain order and rules.
The emperor's first question was easier to answer, and even some civil officials could guess that there were only two possibilities for the Huns to stop the attack: one was to wait for reinforcements and equipment, and the other was to try to encircle and annihilate another northern army outside the city.
"Jincheng is difficult to support alone, and must get support, who can break out of the siege and send a decree to save the driver?" Han Ruzi threw out the second question.
Most of the civil officials were consciously silent, this was not a question they could answer, but the generals were passionate, especially Fan Bangshan, who was the first to ask for his life, but when asked how to break through, his answer was too simple, "Give me a hundred people who dare to die, and give up my life to fight, it's better than sitting in the city and waiting to die!" ”
If Fan Bangshan is lost, it will be a major blow to the morale of the defenders in the city, and Han Ruzi can only shake his head and refuse, and appease a few words.
There were many people who asked for their lives, and even Cui Teng and several civil officials jumped out, but they were all like Fan Bangshan, with no enthusiasm and no practical way to break through.
Han Ruzi quickly dissolved this useless discussion, leaving Deng Cui to listen to his plan to defend the city, and he still could not fully trust the temporarily appointed general.
Unlike Chai Yue, who is very disciplined, and not the Fang Daye who is brave and resourceful, Deng Cui disdains to make plans in advance, "How to defend the city, everyone knows, it's useless to talk more, just repeat what should be done, what the Chu army doesn't know is what the enemy outside the city will do." Anticipate the enemy's opportunity, the minister can't do it, unless it's a god, and the minister doesn't think that others can do it. Since His Majesty has appointed his ministers to defend the city, he will wait for the Huns to attack the city again, and then look at the means of the ministers. ”
Han Ruzi had nothing to say, so he had to politely order someone to send off the new general of the Che Cavalry, and then asked the king of the East China Sea beside him: "Who did you hear that he is a general?" ”
The king of the East China Sea said with a bitter face: "His surname is Deng, and he is a military general, so everyone says so...... Your Majesty asked him to defend the city, not just because of my recommendation, but mainly because I saw him sacrifice his wealth to trap the Huns yesterday, right? ”
The king of the East China Sea didn't have much confidence in Deng Cui, so he had to shirk a little responsibility first.
Han Ruzi didn't say anything, there was really no one around him, Fan Bangshan was brave and more than enough strategy, and the forward general of the Northern Army was a steady and cautious person, and it was difficult to take on a big responsibility at a critical moment, but Deng Cui showed a bit of a trick, I don't know if it was a coincidence, or if he really had the ability, he could only use it first.
Han Ruzi returned to the palace and just sat down in the hall, Wang He led a group of guards to kneel down to the emperor, leaving only Meng E still by the emperor's side.
"It's ...... Why? Han Ruzi asked in surprise.
Wang He said: "Your Majesty is trapped, we can't defend the city and kill the enemy, we are ashamed, please allow Your Majesty to allow us to break through and ask for help." ”
Han Ruzi had thought about these guards and admired their bravery, but he couldn't accept their request, "I understand your skills, but this is not a narrow road, there are too many Huns outside the city, you ...... Can you break out? ”
If there is a city, a river, and an army blocking the road ahead, Han Ruzi believes that these guards have a way to bypass it, but Jincheng is surrounded on all sides, and no one can escape unless they fly or escape from the ground.
Wang He did not ask for orders at will, and replied: "We can act separately and set fire to the Hun camp, or have a chance to pass through the camp." ”
Han Ruzi thought about it seriously for a while, but still shook his head, "It's not worth the risk, I still need your protection." ”
Wang He had no choice but to get up and retreat with the guards.
Cui Teng couldn't help but say, "Why don't you try?" These guards are strong in martial arts, maybe they can really break through? ”
"The camp of the Huns seems to be lax, but in fact it is tight, one person calls and a hundred people respond. Wang He and the others wanted to sneak through the camp, but they could only walk, and once they were discovered, there was no way to survive. ”
"Then you should try it." Cui Teng whispered, feeling that the emperor was a little too cautious.
Han Ruzi was actually moved, but he had seen too many failures of so-called martial arts masters, and in the face of the Hun army, he didn't want to try the lives of thirty guards.
Only the king of the East China Sea can understand the emperor's thoughts, and in his heart he blamed most of the reasons for the failure to seize the throne on the Jianghu people, since they are all martial arts masters, the guards cannot be much stronger than the Jianghu people.
"Your Majesty needs a clever plan, and it is possible to say that it will succeed, not to try it by chance." The East China Sea King Road.
"Where's the idea?" Cui Teng couldn't think of it, looked at the King of the East China Sea, and said disdainfully: "You have a clever plan?" No, if you do, it's a trick. ”
"Hehe, a clever plan and a treacherous plan are one thing, it is a trick to use it on the enemy, it is a trick to use it on one's own people, Your Majesty is trapped, I am also trapped, after the city is broken, the jade is burned, no matter how stupid I am, I will not harm myself."
Cui Teng couldn't say the king of the East China Sea, "What about your 'clever plan'?" Let's hear it. ”
"My clever plan is to brainstorm, although Jincheng is not a big city, there are tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, I can always find one or two capable people, right?"
"Putting up notices?" Cui Teng asked.
The King of the East China Sea glanced at the emperor and shook his head with a smile, "The people in the city are unstable, and posting notices will make everyone more panicked, my suggestion is this: First of all, let the wind out, just say that Your Majesty has secretly sent people out of the city to ask for help, no matter what, stabilize people's hearts first." ”
"It's a lie." Cui Teng actually thought that this idea was not bad, but he refused to admit it.
The King of the East China Sea ignored him and continued: "Secondly, I still let out the rumors in private, saying that Your Majesty still needs a spare messenger, either self-recommendation or recommendation, regardless of origin, as long as you can escape. ”
Han Ruzi also felt that the plan of the King of the East China Sea was feasible, but there was a question, "If it is an ordinary person who is recruited, who will believe the holy decree he carries?" ”
"Uh...... Then add a requirement, not only can you escape, but you also have to bring a minister. ”
Such conditions are too harsh, and it is almost impossible to recruit suitable candidates, but Han Ruzi has no other way, so he nodded, and Cui Teng immediately said: "I'll spread the news, I can do this." ”
Cui Teng ran out, and the king of the East China Sea said again: "I definitely can't do it myself, but I can recommend someone." ”
"Who?"
"Lin Kunshan, Your Majesty has always taken him with him, and he should also use it."
Hope immediately turned into disappointment, Han Ruzi shook his head, he would rather pin his hopes on the martial arts master than trust the hopeful person again.
Liu Jie, the central superintendent, introduced an officer, and it turned out that the Huns were lining up outside the city again.
Han Ruzi landed in the city again, and sure enough, he saw that the Huns were attacking the city again.
Deng Cui was also in the city, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, the surrounding generals were already panicked, but he just observed and didn't give an order for a long time.
Seeing the arrival of the emperor and the generals getting out of the way, Deng Cui pointed to the outside of the city and said: "The Huns pretended to attack the city to lure another northern army to come to the rescue, they suffered a lot of casualties yesterday, and they will not really fight today." ”
Han Ruzi didn't say anything, stood beside Deng Cui for a while, and then turned around and went back to the palace.
The emperor had more confidence in Deng Cui, and the generals had no objections.
It was past noon, and the Huns really did not really attack the city, and the other northern army was not invited.
Liu Jie, the central supervisor, walked in quietly, and when the emperor looked up, he said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Ruosu, a member of the Zhongshu House, asks to see you." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Zhao Ruosu voluntarily went out of the city to ask for help."
Han Ruzi remembered Zhao Ruosu, this person had seen a lot of concerts, and it was almost a living study, but when it came to breaking through and asking for help, he didn't look like he had a stunt.
"Please come in." Han Ruzi thought that this was another official who took the opportunity to show his loyalty, anyway, he knew that the emperor would not agree, so he might as well be brave.
Zhao Ruosu entered the house, but he didn't just say big things like other officials, and after saluting, he said, "Your Majesty is willing to give up the northern army outside the city?" (To be continued.) )
