Chapter 170: The Heart of the King, the Heart of the People, and the Heart of the Army

The war outside Jinyang City is raging, in order to take Jinyang City as soon as possible, everyone has taken out 100,000 points of courage, everyone knows that once the Khitan reinforcements arrive, it is not as simple as a day or two to break the city, it is very likely to be a tug of war or even a war of attrition.

And now the two lines of the Later Zhou Dynasty and the north and south of the army, whether it is the forbidden army or the Jiedu envoys, almost all of the soldiers and horses are thrown on the two battlefields of Houshu and the Northern Han Dynasty, the capital Kaifeng is now in addition to the hundred and ten officials who maintain order, there is no one with a knife, and the place is almost the same, Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, has now ascended the throne and gradually stabilized the situation, no one knows when the poet emperor stabbed them in the wind.

In addition, the boss of Houshu is the prestige Zhao Kuangyin, if the family destroys Houshu first, and even if this has not been solved after the class teacher returns to the dynasty, it will be a little embarrassing for the prestige of the Empress Dowager Fu, so a quick decision has now become a top priority, no matter from which point of view, the Northern Han can no longer afford to delay.

It's just that today, the fierce offensive has miraculously stopped, not only that, but the army that surrounded the four gates of Jinyang also retreated for three miles and five miles in one go, giving the tired Jinyang defenders a very rare respite.

When the soldiers of the defending army were puzzled, they saw a man and a woman riding two horses from far and near.

This is.... The messenger of the next week?

A certain ignorant person was about to shoot them with a bow, but he was immediately slapped in the back of the head by the team leader, "Melon coward, are you crazy?" ”

"My lord, Liu Shuai has an order, and he is not allowed to let the envoys of Hou Zhou enter the city, and kill one by one to show our determination not to surrender."

The team leader kicked this kid several times in a row, "You are a coward, and you dare to bite you, are you stupid, you finally rested for a while, you shot this messenger to death after the Zhou soldiers who were like wolves and tigers came up again, can you do it?" Haven't you heard that the two countries are at war without killing each other? ”

It wasn't until enough kicking that the squad leader finally stopped, squatted down and secretly whispered in the ear of the unlucky soldier: "Are you stupid, don't you know what to call this moment and that?" A few days ago, the sixth prince came back, I heard that not only was not ridiculed and humiliated in Hou Zhou, but the queen mother of Hou Zhou also married the princess to the sixth son, you say, if you are Liu Shuai, can you not be tempted? How sincere will you be to us this week? If you can surrender with your chest up, are you willing to work hard for their old Liu family in this broken city, and watch the Khitans come to our land to show off their power and bully our brothers and sisters? ”

"Hiss~~ Obediently, six... Did the sixth prince really marry the princess of the Zhou Dynasty? What a big deal! Then even if our marshal surrenders, he will be regarded as a relative of the emperor in the future? ”

"That's right, so it's a fool, you learn a little, the messenger in front of you must be here to persuade Liu Shuai to surrender, what good is it for us to shoot them? It's better to simply let them in, for the sake of the sixth son, maybe our Liu Shuai will really surrender? Bah! Look at my broken mouth, in the future, we may have to call Yang Shuai. ”

According to the thinking of the soldiers during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the soldiers did not have much loyalty to the new emperor Liu Jien, and the Northern Han Dynasty and the Later Zhou Dynasty were divided for only ten years, as long as the price was right, these soldiers actually had no resistance to the surrender of the Zhou Dynasty, and the reason why they were still fighting bravely to kill the enemy was all Liu Jiye's personal charm.

While speaking, the two messengers, a man and a woman, finally came to the city gate, only to see that the woman was really arrogant, and shouted directly: "Open the door!" I am your handsome daughter-in-law, Yang Yanzhao's wife Chai Meimei! ”

Qin Hao had a black line next to him, and was completely impressed by the domineering spirit of this Chai Meimei, who agrees that you are a family of two, what about your parents' orders? What about the matchmaker's words? What about husband and wife? Okay, this one really is, but why do you have to play so big with a girl's family?

The defenders on the city wall looked at each other, and they were a little confused for a while, could it be that the sixth prince really found his daughter-in-law when he went out for a while? They haven't heard of who Chai Meirong is, but the Chai surname itself is not a common surname, so coincidentally it is the national surname of Hou Zhou, is it... What did the sixth prince really give to Princess Houzhou?

It's a bit ... Exciting!

Originally, I was going to throw down a basket and let the messenger take this primitive elevator up, but now this messenger turned out to be the princess and the daughter-in-law of the handsome, so naturally he couldn't be so lazy, didn't say it, open the city gate!

is very tacit, no one has notified Liu Jiye of such a big matter, who knows which nerve of the old man is wrong, what if he is not allowed to enter? This is the best chance for us to surrender in the week, no, haven't you listened to the shouts of the city in the past two days, this is not a surrender, this is a return, after all, we were still a family more than ten years ago.

In this way, Qin Hao and Chai Meimei swaggered into Jinyang City from the main gate, and even Qin Hao himself couldn't believe it.

Also unbelievable is Liu Jiye, when Qin Hao and Chai Meirong swaggered in front of him, the expression on the old general's face was like opening a dye shop, white for a while, and green for a while, very ugly.

In fact, since his son came home three days ago, he knew that it was going to be bad, especially if he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Yang Yanzhao surrendered to Hou Zhou and married Hou Zhou Princess, and everyone knew about it, let this kid come out to refute the rumors, this kid didn't want to live or die, and he was determined to force him to be that disloyal person, and almost didn't let him die of anger.

After all, it's his own son, and he can't really kill him, so he has to lock him up in the study with chains, and he doesn't dare to let him out to disturb the morale of the army, but this dead boy doesn't know where to hear a bunch of big truths, what internal contradictions give way to national contradictions, the Han people don't fight the Han people, the overall situation of the country's national unity, the small words are set by one, and the remaining seven sons who sent them to take turns to deliver meals are all convinced, and now these eight little rabbit cubs are tied together to persuade themselves to surrender, He couldn't even understand such a simple truth as the matter of eating the king's loyalty to the king, which really made him half angry.

That's it, the most troublesome thing now is His Majesty's trust, although His Majesty has not been on the throne for a long time, but after all, he is not a fool, and it is impossible for him not to know what the people of the whole city know, he has run over several times in the past two days, and even sent seven or eight prison troops in one go, he doesn't want to think about it, even if you send a hundred prison troops to my Liu Jiye's troops, there is a bird to use, and now the war is in full swing, if you lose your heart, your family will not be able to save your life, but fortunately, Liu Jien's IQ is still online, I know that no one but myself can defend this Jinyang City, but this gap has been buried, and it will be difficult to live in the future.

But until today, he didn't know that it was nothing for the two armies to lose their hearts in battle, and what he was most afraid of was that Teniang's army would lose their fighting spirit! Obviously, he saw the order of the envoy to kill, and the envoy of the Later Zhou Dynasty could appear in front of him in a grand manner without his own knowledge, so you can imagine what the soldiers thought in their hearts.
