Chapter Seventy-Four: Now I'm on My Own

"Stop!" Suddenly, Sun Yuan rushed to the top of the stairs, opened his arms to stop everyone, and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, if Xiao Sheng is not mistaken, there must not be many thieves in the city, only three or two hundred. Instead of running for your life, it is better to immediately mobilize the army and suppress the thieves. In this way, things may be done. ”

Seeing the situation of leading everyone to flee one after another just now, Sun Yuan's mind suddenly moved, and he suddenly remembered the record in the real historical materials. On the fifteenth day of the first month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, the peasant army was received by the extreme people in the city who were dissatisfied with the government, and the vanguard of about 300 people, disguised as merchants and coachmen, quietly sneaked into Fengyang City, and set fire to it everywhere. The people of the city ran wildly, and there was chaos. On the second day, a large army of peasants followed. Fengyang City had no city walls, no danger to defend, after a night of chaos in the city, there was no order at all, and it was naturally easily taken by the peasant army.

In fact, there are still two barracks in Fengyang City, with thousands of troops. If there is no chaos and it is organized, it will rise up to resist on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it will not be a problem to drive out the three hundred men and horses of the peasant army.

After restoring order in the city, the Ming army could calmly mobilize troops to deploy defenses in Fengyang. After all, Fengyang is where the royal ancestral mausoleum is located, surrounded by more than ten military towns, tens of thousands of horses, and neatly equipped with personnel, and the combat effectiveness is not too bad in the Ming army.

At this time, the peasant army actually practiced the typical idea of the rogues, and they belonged to different factions, and when they started fighting, when it was cheap, each family fought bravely against the king. But when they encounter a tough battle and a bloody battle, and they need to pay a great price, they are afraid to move forward, for fear that their own power will be damaged. Thirteen families, thirty-six anti-kings, such as Zhang and Gao, there are tens of thousands of people, but among them, there are only a few thousand people who are weak, and these thousands of people also include the elderly, women and children.

If they saw that Fengyang's side was already in full battle, and there was the high pressure of the thief army of Hong Chengchou and others behind them, the first thing they thought of was to move south to Luzhou, Lu'an, and Huoshan as soon as possible to guerrillas. If you delay in Zhongdu any longer, isn't that waiting to be put in your pocket?

This may be Sun Yuan's only chance, as long as he can persuade everyone to return to their original positions immediately and lead the army to exterminate the three hundred peasant troops who entered the city in advance, this Fengyang will be saved. Fengyang is guaranteed, and he will have time to go to the household department to get Kanhe. Otherwise, as soon as the morning dawns, the main force of the peasant army enters the city, and everything is over!

Sun Yuan was already fighting, put his hand in one hand, and immediately stopped everyone.

A scholar in front of him yelled: "Bastard, get out of the way, get out of the way!" ”

Another official shouted: "Who are you, how do you know that there are only three or two hundred thieves in the city?" ”

Sun Yuan stopped everyone and shouted: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's the middle of the night, and you can't see anything, if the thieves send a large army to attack the city, won't it be a mess, which is not in line with the art of war." Besides, if it is really a large army entering the city, Fengyang has become their bag, and the houses, belongings, and women in the city will all fall into their hands, how can they put a fire and burn it. But now there are fires all around the city, so ......"

He raised his head suddenly, looked at everyone with blazing eyes, and shouted: "Therefore, Xiao Sheng concluded that there must not be many thieves, and the reason why the city was set on fire was because it wanted to cause a riot in the city and surrender without a fight. Now, all we should do is immediately lead the army into the city to quell the riots. As long as the three or two hundred jumping clowns are killed, the thief army will be terrified and will not dare to attack my Fengyang again. ”

Sun Yuan's words were sonorous and powerful, and his voice was extremely loud, even overshadowing the noise of the building.

Everyone was taken by his momentum, and suddenly fell silent.

Over there, Shaoyu people saw Sun Yuanli talking eloquently in front of everyone, calmly and calmly, in stark contrast to the panicked crowd, and his eyes lit up again.

Suddenly sighed in his heart, Sun Gongzi was amazingly talented, not only did the poetry very well, but the spirit on this body was much stronger than this full crown, this is probably the taxi written in the book! Compared with Sun Gongzi's cloth clothes, everyone in the building either has an official position or is a famous scholar, but when a big event comes, they only care about holding their heads and running for their lives!

Governor Yang Yipeng lined up the crowd, stepped forward, and shouted: "You let Ben Fu lead the troops to suppress, but what if there is really an army of thieves in the city?" In this way, not only could not save the people of the city, but buried Fengyang's army in the flames of war. There are only three or two hundred thieves you are talking about, but it is just speculation, what evidence is there? ”

"Yes, yes, now when we enter the city, if we encounter an army of thieves, won't we all die in the city? Are you trying to harm me? "How are the officials wearing official uniforms willing to lead troops into the city to fight with others, the swords and arrows on the battlefield have no eyes, and they are dead and dead. At this moment, I just want to escape downstairs as soon as possible and walk away.

At this time, another squire who looked like a man shouted and pointed at Sun Yuan: "I recognize this person, this person came to the building with an invitation from Yang Gonggong, and it must be Yang Shou's person." I don't even have a reputation, and I dare to pretend to be my famous disciple. But what this man said, he could not believe it. Yang Shoubei, where are you, tell me, did you invite this person? ”

Yang Ze's heart was already in chaos, and when he heard everyone asking, he nodded: "Yes, this Sun Gongzi is our family's ......."

Before he finished speaking, an indignant scholar shouted: "Eunuch thief, you can't believe it, everyone, the thief may be killed in the next moment, run away!" ”

"It's important to run for your life!" With a roar, the people in the building rushed towards Sun Yuan at the same time.

Sun Yuan didn't expect things to turn out like this, after all, he was just one person, how could he stop everyone, one stumble, and he was knocked aside.

There's no way, now, I can only sing bitter tricks!

Sun Yuan instantly brewed a good mood, and suddenly cried loudly: "I have been raising soldiers for more than 200 years, and the festival of righteous death is today." Although Sun is a mustard and a poor student, he is also willing to sacrifice his life for the country on the battlefield. If you still have a trace of blood, you will lead people into the city with me!" ”

This shout moved emotion, and tears poured down in tears.

Unfortunately, everyone was already frightened by the sky-high fire in the city, and stumbled down from him one by one, but no one stopped for a moment.

Sun Yuan's performance of solicitation and admiration can be regarded as a blind man.

However, his cry still touched one person.

A pair of warm little hands reached over and touched his hand: "Sun Gongzi, it's impossible to do anything." The slave family also knows that you are a loyal man, but please leave quickly, cherish your useful body, and serve the country in the future. ”

When I looked back, it was Shaoyu, who was already crying with tears on her face, and her vocal cords were choked.

Sun Yuan was depressed in his heart: Why didn't I move Governor Yang and Governor Yan with my super-standard performance just now. It's that you, a little girl, were touched by me, but what's the use of this, you can't give me a chance!

"Lady, let's go!" Yang Ze was already so frightened that he couldn't stand up straight, and walked over with the support of the two little eunuchs, and saw Shao Yu and Sun Yuan's hands holding together, and wanted to be angry, but he knew that now was not the time to attack, so he couldn't bear it: "The army of thieves has entered the city, and it is impossible to do anything, so let's go down the Huai River and go to Huai'an for a few days." ”

Seeing Yang Ze, Sun Yuan seemed to see hope, let go of Shaoyuren's hand, and said hurriedly: "If Gonggong Yang is worried that there is an army of thieves in the city, you can mobilize the garrison near the capital to enter the city as soon as possible to quell the chaos." ”

Speaking of which, Yang Ze is the actual head of Fengyang, and only he has the power to mobilize the army, as long as he is convinced, everything is still possible.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Ze suddenly giggled and shrieked: "Sun Yuan, you are a little grain chief, you don't even have a fame, and you know what military affairs." If you don't mobilize the army, will it be your turn to call the shots? Giggles, I said why is our lady so concerned about your affairs, it turns out that you are her former confidant! ”

This was said in a weird way, and Shao Yu was stunned: "Father-in-law, he ...... at the beginning"

Sun Yuan was also stunned.

"Taichu, shout so affectionately, don't forget, you are the lady of our family." Yang Ze couldn't hold back any longer, his eyes were full of jealousy, and he shouted: "Come on, palm the mouth of this untrained scholar!" ”

The two little eunuchs answered, and they were about to step forward to make a move.

How could Sun Yuan be willing to suffer this loss, he screamed, bumped into the two of them, and rushed downstairs.

I was even more angry in my heart as if I was about to explode: Yang Ze old dog, I really want to help you keep Fengyang, but you have a personal relationship between me Sun Yuan and that Shaoyu person. When is it now, still thinking about asking me for sin? Anyway, if you lose Fengyang, you can't escape a dead word, ask for peace!

Rushing down the painting building in one breath and looking at the already red-hot sky in the distance, Sun Yuan shook his head: Now that other means have been exhausted, he can only rely on himself.

Seeing Sun Yuan rushing out so quickly, Yang Ze was flustered, and he didn't have the heart to call someone to arrest him. Moreover, the building is already in chaos, and no one can be caught in a hurry.

He took a breath, tried his best to calm himself down, took Shao Yuren's hand, and said, "Lady, let's go quickly." ”

Seeing that Sun Yuan had already left, Shaoyu didn't know why, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Father-in-law, if you leave, Fengyang will fall, and the court will investigate it...... Perhaps, what Sun Yuan said has some truth. ”

"Don't talk about it, lady." Yang Ze pulled her with a white face and walked downstairs: "According to the law and discipline of our dynasty, losing the city and land, the magistrate is a capital crime." But our family is a eunuch guarding the tomb, whether this Fengyang is lost or not, it has nothing to do with our family, even if the court wants to pursue it, it can only investigate Yang Yipeng and them. As long as the imperial tomb is fine, the imperial court will not come to trouble our family. As for leading troops...... It's useless, the thief army has 200,000 people, and they can't win the battle under the general system of Hong, and Fengyang's soldiers and horses are not sent to death when they enter the city. Walk...... Let's go, this is Governor Yang's courtyard, maybe the thief army is heading this way. ”

"When the time comes, let's ...... Let's ......" As soon as he thought of this serious consequence, Yang Ze's feet softened, and he slipped down the stairs.

"Father-in-law."

"Father-in-law......
