"It turned out to be Brother Han!"

In front of the garrison barracks not far from the city gate, one of the burly guards immediately greeted him with a smile and enthusiasm. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although Han Yu was unkempt and looked a little sluggish, the armor guard on duty did not show disgust.

This is mainly because Zhang Tanghuai, the head of Baizong, usually treats these subordinate soldiers as brothers, and does not look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, so he is naturally quite close to Han Yu.

"The matter is urgent, I want to see my brother, and please let you know." Han Yu said and bowed deeply.

"It turns out... I didn't expect that Brother Han was not..."

The two armor soldiers guarding the barracks looked at each other, this Han Yu was articulate, polite and courteous, obviously not a stupid person.

If it weren't for the fact that his appearance hadn't changed in the past year, I'm afraid the two of them would never believe that the young man in front of them was Zhang Tanghuai's stupid little brother.

Zhang Tanghuai, who was dressed in military uniform, got the notification, put down the official document at hand for approval, and walked out as soon as possible.

Zhang Tanghuai has always been close to Han Yu, not to mention that this is the first time Han Yu has taken the initiative to come to him, and he can't help but speed up his pace while being happy.

Seeing Han Yu standing in front of the barracks with an anxious expression, Zhang Tanghuai greeted him with a hearty chuckle and said, "Brother Han, why are you here?" Could it be that my father has something to do? ”

"Brother Zhang, can you take a step to speak?" Before Zhang Tanghuai could react, Han Yu forcibly pulled him aside.

"What's so alarming?" Zhang Tanghuai was full of curious inquiries.

"Brother Zhang, a few days ago, in Jinzhai County and Huoqiu County in the south of Henan Prefecture, was there any wolf smoke rising?"

Before the words fell, Zhang Tanghuai's gaze suddenly sharpened.

Zhang Tanghuai's murderous aura honed on the battlefield all year round was glared, but it was not something that a powerless teenager could resist, so frightened that Han Yu took a few steps back.

Han Yu actually knew about the military information that was not disclosed to the public, although it was not a secret, but if it was spread out, I was afraid that it would cause murder.

However, Zhang Tanghuai was quickly relieved, Brother Han had hardly left the house for nearly a year, and even if he went out, he had never left the teahouse a distance of 100 meters, maybe he just heard the passing officers casually mention it.

Zhang Tanghuai's eyes slowed slightly, and he nodded slightly apologetically: "That's true, but it turns out to be a false alarm, the two places are safe and sound, and there are fast horse scouts who have come to report to Lord Zhu, but this is a military plane, how did you know about it, Brother Han?" ”

Hearing Zhang Tanghuai confirm that there was a false alarm, it means that the whole thing is already inseparable.

Han Yu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice with determination: "Although I am not talented, I am willing to guarantee with my life, at this time, the two counties have already been captured by the rebel army, and the Kou army and horses are pouring towards this side, and tonight there will be a heavy fog on the edge of Fengyang City, and the rebel army will take the opportunity to join forces with the inside and outside of the city to break through the city!" ”

In fact, Han Yu could clearly tell Zhang Tanghuai who the leading generals who came to lead the army were, how many men and horses they brought, the situation of weapons and soldiers, and even where and when they would attack the city.

It's just that this will only arouse Zhang Tanghuai's vigilance and suspicion, so Han Yu said the whole thing in a very conservative and general way.

"Brother Han can't talk nonsense like this, you're going to lose your head!" Zhang Tanghuai was startled and looked at Han Yu with concern.

"Uncle Zhang treats me as his own, Brother Zhang treats me like a brother, and he will never dare to say anything," Seeing that Zhang Tanghuai's face was cloudy, Han Yu stared at Zhang Tanghuai's eyes and said solemnly: "I really don't hide that my little brother knows a little about the art of astrology!" ”

Han Yu pretending to be a god stick is also a helpless move, at this critical moment, he can only count on Zhang Tanghuai, naturally he can't say such unbelievable words from the next generation.

In fact, sometimes telling the truth is more like deception, but fortunately, the ancients respected the mysterious astrological art very much, although it sounded very mysterious, and it also made Zhang Tanghuai suspicious for a while.

"What will happen?" Zhang Tanghuai asked suspiciously.

"The city is broken, the imperial tomb is destroyed, and the world is shaking!" Han Yu replied without hesitation.

Han Yu knew the consequences very well, it was already a big crime to talk about the destruction of the city, not to mention that the royal garden was destroyed, which was a big crime of the nine clans, and this statement was likely to implicate the Zhang family.

If Zhang Tanghuai doesn't believe it, he will be handed over to the government at worst, and he will be kicked out of the house.

No matter which one it is, it is a dead end, which is also the reason why Han Yu has been unable to make up his mind for a long time, because all this sounds too unbelievable.

Zhang Tanghuai's eyes were fixed on Han Yu, and he even unconsciously touched the handle of the knife on his waist.

Cold sweat slowly dripped down Han Yu's cheeks, and he could even clearly hear the sound of his heart beating violently.

"What can I do?" Zhang Tanghuai said this sentence with almost all his strength, but for some reason, Zhang Tanghuai finally chose to believe Han Yu.

Han Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, only to realize that the cold sweat had already soaked through the clothes on his back.

Although Zhang Tanghuai only chose to believe in this unbelievable thing, it is the most important part.

Without the help of Zhang Tanghuai, the head of the city, Han Yu, who was powerless, even if he could accurately know all of Zhang Xianzhong's deployments, I am afraid that he would not be able to prevent Fengyang City from being captured.

"Brother Zhang, can you face Lord Zhu of Fengcheng Garrison and euphemistically say a suggestion to strengthen the garrison." Han Yu did not hesitate to put forward the suggestion that he had already thought of.

"The Lantern Festival celebration is approaching, and Lord Zhu is afraid that he will not know these things." Zhang Tanghuai shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"The city of Fengcheng is towering, the artillery at the head of the city is gathered, and the long garrison is about more than four thousand people, even if the number of Kou troops is large, they are not afraid," Han Yu's tone paused slightly, thought for a while and continued, "What needs to be guarded against is the Kou army that has infiltrated the city, once the siege begins, it will inevitably kill people everywhere and set fires, and will definitely wait for the opportunity to attack the city gate together." ”

Although Han Yu even knew that the generals of the Kou army had brought a few concubines, if he said the specific number of generals and rebels, it was likely to arouse Zhang Tanghuai's suspicions.

This is a matter of losing his head at any time, if it weren't for the relationship of getting along day and night for a year, Zhang Tanghuai would have done his best if he didn't transfer Han Yu to the yamen.

"You even know the number of permanent troops?!" Zhang Tanghuai was taken aback, and even really believed that Brother Han in front of him really knew some astrological techniques.

Zhang Tanghuai looked at Han Yu and sighed slightly: "Most of the troops are stationed in the barracks, and they are not allowed to go out without an order, in fact, the regular establishment of my subordinates is eighty-eight people, in fact, twenty people do not exist, there are still seven people who are old, nine people are only fifteen years old, and there are not many people with combat experience, if there is really a Kou army attacking, I am afraid that I will not be able to stop it." ”

Since he had chosen to believe in Han Yu, Zhang Tanghuai also had no reservations and informed Han Yu of the current situation.

Hearing Zhang Tanghuai's words, Han Yu was not surprised.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the army was never full, and many generals made a fortune by eating empty salaries, and it was commendable that Zhang Tanghuai's department was still more than sixty percent.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty military and civilian division, is to divide the common people into two kinds, one is called the army, each family from generation to generation to have a person as a soldier or officer, the other is called the people, all generations are exempt from military service, this hereditary system of recruitment, although there is no lack of strong, but also let a lot of crooked melons and cracked dates mixed into the army, greatly affected the combat effectiveness, so there will be the situation of the old, weak, sick and disabled flooding the army, this is the strange system created by Yuanzhang, the synthesis of the Han Dynasty's Tuntian, the Tang Dynasty's soldiers, and the Song Dynasty's ruler book, and in the Ming Dynasty continued for hundreds of years.

Han Yu, who came from later generations, naturally knew this kind of drawback, but even the emperor couldn't handle it, so Han Yu didn't need to worry about it.

At present, the situation is not optimistic, and Zhang Tanghuai has only fifty-two people who can fight.

In the face of the more than 10,000 Kou troops who were about to take advantage of the night fog to sneak attack, the number of officers and troops at the city gate was almost negligible.

Zhang Xianzhong's department is that everyone spits on them, and I am afraid that they can drown them.

However, many times life is like playing cards, not every time you can get a good deck of cards, but how to manage a bad hand.

Although the situation is critical at the moment, it is not lifeless.

In history, the reason why the Kou army led by Zhang Xianzhong was able to easily conquer Fengyang City, which was high and deep, was completely due to the sneak attack of the dark night fog, and the fine work in the city should be combined with the outside.

Now, although Zhang Tanghuai has less than 100 soldiers under his command, he is fully responsible for defending the city gate.

Because of Han Yu's relationship, Zhang Xianzhong's department has lost the opportunity.

The city is high and deep, coupled with strong firearms with sufficient ammunition, it is not impossible to block the distance of the labor division, and Zhang Xianzhong's department, which does not have many siege equipment.

And Han Yu has no way out, in history, Zhang Xianzhong invaded Fengyang, not only destroyed the imperial tomb, but also killed officials and wealthy households, in fact, this has nothing to do with Han Yu.

However, in order to prevent the official army from rebelling, Zhang Xianzhong beheaded all the officers and soldiers who surrendered, and did not let go of their families.

In order to save the lives of Zhang's family, Han Yu had already decided that even if he fought for his life, he would stop Zhang Xianzhong from conquering Fengyang.
