Chapter 158: Zhao Hong's sorrow
So Xiao Liang no longer pondered the affairs of the urn city, he only had one or twenty people under his hands, and he couldn't personally take this group of brothers to kill them, in that case it was not much worse than suicide, so he had to find Bao Zaitong who was already lying down, please Bao Zaitong arrange as many people as possible to guard the passage between the urn city and the main city, so as not to be taken by the enemy, and arranged for Minzhuang to use all kinds of masonry and wood to block the city gate hole, and the enemy army in the province knocked the city gate open outside, which was a little relieved, When I returned to the state office, I saw that King Ji reported the battle situation for the day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
And not long after this farce ended, a team of men and horses came from outside the city, this team of soldiers escorted several carts, did not even take torches, carefully escorted these carts into the urn city, the general who was in charge of garrisoning the urn city immediately greeted him, and met a general on a horse, with the help of the light of the lantern at the gate of the urn city, he was shocked, immediately tensed his body, straightened his waist, and then bowed with his fists and saluted:
"Humble to General Gao! The little one didn't know that the general was coming, and he was rude just now! Why did you come here in person, my lord? It's very dangerous to be close to the enemy here, so let's go back quickly! ”
Gao Huaiyuan turned over and dismounted, made way of the city gate and said with a smile: "No courtesy!" Although it is dangerous here, but you can wait to be stationed here, so why should this officer be afraid? You give the order, and the whole team is ready to withdraw from the urn city at any time, and line up on the other side of the city and river, ready to attack the city at any time! ”
When the general heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately hurriedly asked for battle: "Isn't the general going to personally lead the army to attack the city at night?" The small ones are willing to be pioneers, and it is enough for the adults to watch the enemy for the small ones! ”
Gao Huaiyuan smiled and waved his hand: "Don't worry about this official, when you need to charge, it will naturally let you go into battle, you send people to raise shields, protect these vehicles, and transfer the goods on them into the city gate hole, remember not to alarm the enemy troops in the city, and don't ignite the fire!" Go ahead! ”
At this time, several large carts had entered the urn city, and a group of soldiers unloaded the wooden barrels from the carts, carried them on their shoulders, and under the cover of the shield hand, Yuguan carried these wooden barrels into the hole in the main gate.
Although the rebels who tossed for a day under the command of Xiao Liang and others after nightfall, they shot at the defenders of the urn city, but the two sides were not accurate at night, and after the escort shot, they each stopped, although the rebels on the city tower also saw the movement in the urn city, but they didn't bother to care about them, as long as they took the city wall, it was okay, as for how to toss outside, it was tomorrow during the day.
Therefore, when they were busy in the urn city, the people in the city just cautiously stretched out their heads to look at the inside of the urn city in the black hole, and they couldn't see any situation.
The enemy wounded a soldier by a few random arrows, and the soldier almost fell, but the people next to him quickly helped him, took the wooden barrel, sent it into the hole in the city gate, and stacked it.
The wounded gritted their teeth and did not make a sound, and were helped down, and after all the goods were unloaded into the city gate hole, only one person was left to work in the city gate hole, and the rest of the people waited for Yu Guan to carefully withdraw out of the city gate hole.
"Well done! Send the order down, withdraw everyone in the urn city from the urn city, and assemble outside the city to stand by! After Gao Huaiyuan watched the goods be safely delivered into the city gate, he immediately ordered the officer stationed here.
"General, ...... you?" This officer was obviously not worried about Gao Huaiyuan's safety, seeing that he had limited personnel, he wanted to stay and protect Gao Huaiyuan.
"Needless to say, just do what you are told! General Hua is waiting outside the city, you just wait to obey General Hua's orders! Gao Huaiyuan raised his hand to interrupt the officer's words and continued.
At this time, the officer did not dare to say anything, so he whispered an order to go down and began to withdraw the soldiers under his command from the urn city, and soon a battalion of soldiers quietly withdrew from the urn city, and ran through the drawbridge to withdraw to the south bank of the moat.
Only Gao Huaiyuan and his accompanying guards were left in the urn city, and at this time, Li Ruohu ran out of the inner city gate hole with a rope quickly, nodded to Gao Huaiyuan and said, "It's all done!" ”
Gao Huaiyuan glanced at the city, sneered and waved his hand: "Let's go!" Let's watch the show for a while! ”
So everyone escorted Gao Huaiyuan and immediately left the urn city, Li Ruohu still walked at the end of the team, and when he walked to the top of the suspension bridge, he bent down and took out an object, snapped twice, and immediately burst out of a small flame, and got to the rope, only to see the rope sneering and quickly burned, Li Ruohu immediately extinguished the fire in his hand, turned around and quickly chased Gao Huaiyuan across the suspension bridge into the darkness outside the city.
On the city wall, a rebel pawn carefully stretched out his head to look inside the urn city, and quickly retracted it, sat under the female wall and muttered quietly: "Finally, the fuck is honest, let Lao Tzu stop for a while!" After muttering, he dozed off, for more than two days, they didn't blink, others were already sleeping, but it was his turn to monitor the movements of the urn city, and he really couldn't hold it anymore.
After Xiao Liang arrived at the state office, he saw Zhao Hong, the king of Ji, Zhao Hong's eyes were a little dark at this time, it can be seen that he didn't sleep for long in the past two days, and he was anxiously waiting for news in the state office.
Some officials who had promised to support him had no news at this time, so how could King Ji not be anxious? Even some of his people in Lin'an City have not moved at this time, so he can't figure out how many magistrates in the Great Song Dynasty have chosen to be loyal to him, or if there are any places that have rebelled.
And now there are more and more Lin'an troops outside, although the situation in Huzhou Xie Zhouqing, the Pan brothers and others are hiding from him, but he is not stupid, knowing that at this time Huzhou can be said to have reached a precarious level, Zhao Yun and Shi Miyuan on the Lin'an side will not give him too much time to hold on, and will definitely order their soldiers and horses to conquer Huzhou City as soon as possible, and kill him, the so-called emperor, in order to restore the stability of the Southern Song Dynasty.
During the day, he heard the sound of killing on both sides of the south and west of the city, and from time to time there would be the sound of rumbling stones crushing the houses, and he was particularly worried about the battle situation, for fear that the soldiers and horses of Lin'an would enter the city at any time, and if the city was broken at this time, he would only die! A country will never tolerate his rebellion, and neither Zhao Yun nor Shi Miyuan will let him continue to live in this world! King Ji now regrets listening to the bewitchment of the Pan brothers, they are still too reckless.
At this time, someone came to report, saying that Lord Xiao asked to see him, Zhao Hong hurriedly let people pass it on, let Xiao Liang meet, speaking of which he is now an emperor, but he is really pitiful as an emperor, only a few guards and chamberlains he brought out from Lin'an City as his followers, the so-called army is also a rabble put together, speaking of which is even more ridiculous, only Xie Zhouqing and a few officials in Huzhou City can be regarded as officials, and the rest are some officials appointed by his temporary edict, There are only a few generals, and the only one who reassures him is Xiao Liang, who defected to him.
When Xiao Liang walked into the lobby, he immediately knelt down and said to Zhao Hong: "Weichen see the saint, long live the saint, long live, long live!" ”
Zhao Hong looked at Xiao Liang's one-eyed with an eye patch, and his heart was desolate, until now he has only such a person who can be trusted, which is really his sorrow, and now he really regrets that he didn't listen to Zhen Dexiu's advice at the beginning, and acted in a low-key manner not to provoke Shi Miyuan, and honored the former emperor Zhao Kuo and Empress Yang, so that now he has ended up like this.
Seeing that Xiao Liang's armor was covered with blood, Zhao Hong was really concerned about his situation, so he quickly stretched out his hand and said, "Xiao Aiqing is exempt from courtesy!" It's just you and me here, so don't be polite! You must have worked hard today, but are you hurt? ”
Xiao Liang hurriedly replied: "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, Weichen is not injured, please rest assured Your Majesty!" ”
"Oh! That's good! What is the situation of the First World War today? Xie Aiqing and Pan Aiqing refused to tell me the truth, I was very worried about the city defense! Zhao Hong saw that Xiao Liang was not injured, so he was a little relieved, and quickly asked Xiao Liang.
Xiao Liang looked at Zhao Hong's nervous expression, and also felt sad for Zhao Hong, he used to be such a beautiful prince, but now although he is supported as the emperor, he can only be trapped in this small Huzhou city, and it is really difficult for Zhao Hong to be frightened by this.
So Xiao Liang hurriedly comforted Zhao Hong and said: "It is Gao Huaiyuan, the sworn enemy of Weichen, sent by Lin'an, this thief launched a one-day onslaught today, and was repelled by Weichen and General Bao. ”
Zhao Hong heard that Xiao Liang had repelled the Lin'an army, so he was a little relieved, and said to Xiao Liang: "Xiao Aiqing, you have worked hard, I have ordered to open the Huzhou treasury, take out all the gold and silk money, and distribute it to the soldiers, and the safety of Huzhou City can only be entrusted to Xiao Aiqing!" ”
Xiao Liang was really a little moved after hearing this, knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Hong and said, "Please rest assured, Xiao will not live up to Your Majesty's expectations!" It will definitely beat the thief army to ......"
Xiao Liang was about to boast about Haikou to comfort Zhao Hong, when suddenly the ground and the house shook violently, and the teacup on the table in front of Zhao Hong also jumped, and the tea in the cup also spilled out, spilling on the table.
Zhao Hong was almost shaken off his chair, and at this time, a lot of dust fell from the roof, and then they heard a loud bang from the south of the city.
"What happened?" Zhao Hong asked in surprise.
