Chapter 40: The Emperor Humiliates His Ministers and Dies

When the sky is bright, a group of mighty militia surged to the north of Chengdu, neither armor to defend themselves, nor weapons to kill the enemy, all they hold in their hands are agricultural iron tools, the team of no less than 10,000 people is indeed overwhelming, but the formation is scattered, not in order, it is completely a rabble.

The leaders on the horse were Qin Ye and Qin Cheng, the two looked up at the high walls of Chengdu, looked at each other, and then looked at the bridge hanging on the moat, and then hesitated, led the team around the east gate of Chengdu, waiting for Xu and the army.

The strategy at the time of the move was to attack from the north and south, but when it really reached the foot of Chengdu, the Qin family also retreated, and it was still necessary to join Xu He, and with the regular army taking the lead, the heart would be more stable.

These more than 10,000 people are all the Guanghan clans to come together for the Qin family to rebel, they are not registered population, belong to the private collection of the peasant households of the big clans, usually the income from farming belongs to the clan, if there is a dispute and need to be resolved by force, they will also pick up iron tools to gather people to become private soldiers, and it is true that they are exploited for farming, and they are not hungry to death, but they are not full of food, and it is impossible for the private farmers to openly reorganize and train, and it is impossible for the wealthy families to privately build weapons and armor to arm them, and the military discipline and military heart can only be a joke on them.

After coming to the east gate of Chengdu, Qin Ye Qin Cheng ordered a rest, and the militiamen threw the iron tools on the ground, sat on the ground, and chatted to pass the time when they were bored.

They can't help but come, because the lifeline is in the hands of the wealthy family, and as for the consequences of what they do, there are big rights and wrongs, and few of them probably understand that this is the sorrow of the people at the bottom created by the times.

On the tower of Chengdu City, Gao Shun, who was heavily armed, looked at the more than 10,000 militiamen, his face was always grim, and he said to Xi Zhicai beside him: "Military division, it is better to let me lead the army out of the city to defeat them first, otherwise when Xu He's army arrives, Xu He's men and horses will exceed 50,000." ”

The group of militiamen who were not in the climate, Xi Zhicai didn't pay attention to it at all, and persuaded Gao Shun to fight, and said: "This rabble, how many people come to die, trapped in the camp can't easily fight, if you fight, you have to fight a battle!" At this time, the battle will definitely be able to return with a great victory, but the soldiers will be tired and exhausted, and their energy will be wasted, so it is better not to fight. After the arrival of Xu He's army, the trapping camp is the time to show its might. ”

After listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Gao Shun thought so, and let the soldiers recharge their energy and calm their restless desire to fight.

The warm winter photos make people not refreshed, but a little lazy.

It was not until the afternoon that Xu He led the army to Chengdu outside.

Seeing the mighty formation of Xu He's army from afar, Qin Ye and Qin Chengdu were shocked, and shouted for the militiamen to get up and stand with iron tools, don't be lazy and embarrassed.

On the tower of Chengdu Frontier City, it has already been found that Xu He's army is overwhelming, looking at its scale, as reported by the Tanma a day ago, it is not bad, about 40,000.

The trapped camp was in the city under the leadership of Gao Shun, gathering on the East Gate Avenue, the cavalry was in the lead, and the foot soldiers followed, waiting for Gao Shun to give an order, and they went out of the city.

Just as the soldiers were holding their breath and concentrating, the women in white clothes and white skirts walked up to the city tower, and there were young men in white behind them to guard them.

Cai Yan, Zhen Jiang, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Diao Chan, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, the seven people came to the city tower under the escort of the personal guards led by Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi, and the soldiers on the inner avenue of the city tower have also heard of it more or less.

Standing on the city tower looking down at the east, Cai Yan hugged Guo Ye and whispered in his son's ear: "Ye'er, no matter what happens, you can't cry!" ”

What can a two-year-old understand? But Guo Ye looked at the scene outside the city, and his expression didn't change much, what his mother said, he just nodded, he didn't know what it meant, and outsiders couldn't make it clear.

Turning around and handing Guo Ye to Xiao Ren, Cai Yan said to him in a deep voice with a solemn expression: "Xiao Ren, if the city is broken, it is not a pity for us women to die, your lord can have no wife and concubine, but this is his bloodline, I beg you, you must protect him and send him to Fengxiao." ”

Xiao Ren looked shocked, and under Cai Yan's resolute gaze, he closed his eyes and nodded.

Turning around again, Cai Yan's expression was flat, and after exchanging eyes with Xi Zhicai, he walked to the edge of the city tower with the other women, looking down on Xu He's army outside the moat.

Xu He's army has been killed under the city, and he also knows that Guo Jia is on the way to withdraw his army, whether Zhang Baiqi will rebel with him, he is not sure, so if you want to break Chengdu, you must fight quickly, besides, there are only thousands of Gao Shun in Chengdu, what is there to fear? In addition, the wealthy families in Chengdu should be combined with the outside, and major events can be determined.

The general who guards Chengdu is Gao Shun, but it is Xi Zhicai who is always in charge of military and political affairs.

A few months later, when he returned to Chengdu again, Xu He was full of emotion, when he went south with Guo Jia to attack Yizhou, and the most tragic battles were fought by the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.

In the first battle of Dingjun Mountain, he and Sima Ju 60,000 soldiers were broken in half, and later the tragic battles such as Jiameng Pass and Chengdu were not the greatest credit to the rest of the Yellow Turbans?

Guo Jia, how can you kill Sima Ju with your hands?

The two generations of Qin family members around him, Qin Ye, Qin Cheng, and Qin Wu were noisily urging the siege of the city, Xu He was upset, and shouted: "Shut your dog's mouth!" ”

The two generations of the Qin family couldn't hold their faces, but they couldn't help Xu He is commander, attacking Chengdu, Xu He didn't lead troops to charge, and they didn't dare to attack the city alone.

Before riding a horse out of battle, he wanted Xi Zhicai to open the city and surrender, but Xu He's words hadn't opened his mouth yet, only to hear the woman's crisp and passionate voice coming from the city tower.

"Xu He! The lord treats you well, why do you rebel? ”

Looking up, there were seven beauties who had fallen into the country and the city lined up at the head of the city, and the accent of the person who spoke Xu He recognized that it was Cai Yan, who gave birth to Guo Jia's eldest son.

Xu He's face was disdainful, and he raised his head and said angrily: "Is Guo Jia still worthy of being the master?" He lost the battle in Jingzhou, why did he kill Sima Ju? How much credit has Sima Ju made for him? If I don't oppose it, am I worthy of the people of Taiping Dao? Is it worthy of the great sage and good teacher? Is it worthy of Sima Ju, who has suffered with me for many years? ”

In the face of Xu He's accusations and shouts, Cai Yan stood proudly at the head of the city and said righteously: "The lord killed Sima Ju, and Sima Ju must be killed!" It is true that he is a meritorious man, but his merits cannot be deserved, and he is a wrongdoer who holds meritorious deeds, and kills as many as he wants! Now, have you made up your mind? Going to make a mess? ”

Xu He waved his hand backwards and said arrogantly: "There are 50,000 troops behind me, all the siege equipment is complete, and the soldiers work together, Chengdu, I can break it in the blink of an eye!" ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Cai Yan then asked, "Xu He, then let me ask you again, if you break through Chengdu, what will happen to me?" What about the wives and concubines of these lords around me? What will happen to the eldest son of the lord behind me? ”

At this time, Xu He's face showed hesitation, no matter what, Guo Jia was kind to him, without Guo Jia, he didn't know which barren mountain to lead the rest of the Yellow Turban to survive, he could kill Guo Jia to avenge Sima Ju, but he cut off his children and grandchildren, it seems that he can't do it.

Before Xu He could answer, Qin Wu, who was not far behind him, said in a loud voice: "Soldiers! See? As long as Chengdu is broken, those beauties on the city tower, whoever of you grabs it will be whoever! ”

Xu He was startled, turned around and glared angrily, only to find that many soldiers raised their weapons and echoed loudly.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the reward is not only the money of the official and the beauty, but also a great motivation.

Cai Yan, Zhen Jiang, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Diao Chan, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, these seven people stood at the head of the city, and they all made the army behind Xu He dumbfounded, even if the Yizhou wealthy family is used to bullying men and women, they have never seen such a stunning beauty, and it is not one.

That's what you want!

Cai Yan turned around and took a long sword from Xiao Yi's hand, with a clear sound, he pulled out the sword, pointed it at Xu He, and said with a cold face: "Xu He! I, Cai Yan, are the wives and concubines of your lord, and they are all the wives and concubines of your lord, and you instigated your subordinates to try to defile the lord's family, I tell you! I, Cai Yan, are standing here today, and if I die, I won't let you succeed! ”

Turning to one side, he let out Xiao Ren, who was holding Guo Ye, and Cai Yan continued to say in a loud voice: "Xu He! This is your lord's firstborn! Today, our mother and son will never steal their lives, and they will live and die together with Chengdu! The main father's bloodline is here, do you dare to come and kill it? ”

The audience suddenly fell silent, Xu and the army had probably never seen a woman dare to face tens of thousands of soldiers and horses so bravely, and they were all shocked.

Zhen Jiang, who was standing beside Cai Yan, was not afraid at this time, but he was sighing in his heart: Fengxiao, she is your well-deserved wife.

Xi Zhicai, who had been silent, stood behind, looked at Cai Yan's graceful back, squinted his eyes and said secretly: "Lord, in troubled times, this woman is a rare virtuous helper, ruling the world, this woman must not be in power." ”

With his eyes open and his expression resolute, Xi Zhicai suddenly turned around and looked down at the soldiers of the trapped camp on the avenue in the city, from the main general Gao Shun to the cavalry infantry, all of whom had already shown gritted their teeth with indignation.

Yesterday, they were informed of the post-war reward, three years of salary!

A strong soldier is qualified to receive higher treatment than others.

"Do you hear that? The rebels outside the city don't even pay attention to the lord, they want to bully the lord's family, they want the lord to cut off his children and grandchildren! Can we turn a blind eye? Even the family of the lord and his family are not spared, can our family be safe and sound? You are not only fighting for yourself, but also for your families! Those who are ministers are worried about the ministers, and the kings are humiliated and the ministers die! You are trapped in the camp, the lord has given you the best, you are the bravest soldiers under the lord's command, and at this moment, it is time for you to defend the prestige of the trapped camp! Are there any people who want to surrender without a fight now? ”

"Nope!"

Xi Zhicai's impassioned pre-war mobilization made the soldiers of the trapped camp show hideous colors on their faces, and their fighting spirit was majestic.

"Open the gates! Against! ”

With a wave of his hand, the east gate of Chengdu slowly opened.

Gao Shun, who was straddling the horse, was expressionless, his eyes were sharp, and when the city gate was opened, the army outside the city only saw Gao Shun leading the army in front, and raised the long sword in his hand without looking back, and shouted in a deep voice.

"Trapped!"

The 3,000 cavalry and 3,000 foot soldiers in the city spoke in unison, and the momentum shook the sky!

"Every attack must be defeated!"
