Looking at the King of Shu who was not good-looking, several people present were a little embarrassed, and it was Zhu Xieyuan with a straight face. I saw him salute the King of Shu, and said in a respectful tone: "The prince is well aware of the righteousness, which is really a blessing for the country, and the minister believes that the emperor will be very happy to know this news." When the war is over, the ministers will go to Emperor Chen to ask for merit for the prince. ”

After taking a deep look at Zhu Xieyuan, the King of Shu seemed to be a little angry. His face sank and he said: "Lord Zhu, you can't say that, this king is the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and he is favored by the emperor." How can you do this for the sake of the imperial court! ”

"The prince's words are wrong, since he is meritorious to the imperial court, how can he not go to Chen? As the political envoy of Sichuan, the minister is in charge of the political affairs of a province, which is a matter within the scope of his own office. Zhu Xieyuan's face suddenly became serious, and his body stood straight, with a posture that was not afraid of power.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, King Shu's face suddenly turned red, and he seemed to be very angry, and the atmosphere became very tense. For a long time, the king of Shu flicked his sleeves and said quite unhappily: "Since it is the matter that Lord Zhu is in charge of, it is naturally inconvenient for this king to ask as a vassal king, so Lord Zhu will make up his own mind!" ”

After a conversation, the atmosphere became a little strange, and the King of Shu did not stop and turned away. The people present didn't know what to do, but seeing that Zhu Xieyuan asked everyone to leave, these people didn't stay, and soon dispersed.

"Old fox, you can be a man!" Stretching out his hand to point at Zhu Xieyuan, Lin Zai came to his side with a smile on his face and said playfully.

Looking at Lin Zai with an innocent face, Zhu Xieyuan said helplessly: "This official is as clear as water and as clear as a mirror, I really don't know what you're talking about!" Speaking of Zhu Xieyuan's face, he seemed to have suffered a lot of grievances.

Sighing helplessly, Lin Zai said angrily: "Don't think that you are smart, and the old man is not stupid." You not only gave the King of Shu a step down, but also explained to the court on behalf of the King of Shu, do you think I can't see it? ”

Looking at Lin Zai in surprise, Zhu Xieyuan looked incredulous, and said in surprise in his voice, "I really can't believe it, you actually saw it?" It's really unexpected! After saying that, Zhu Xieyuan strode away, and when he walked out a short distance, he heard Lin Zai's shout, and Zhu Xieyuan hurriedly quickened his pace.

"Dashuai, someone outside asked to see him, saying that he was sent from Chengdu!" The herald strode out of the tent, saluted Sun Chuanting, and said respectfully.

Glancing at the herald, Sun Chuanting didn't say anything, but looked at Yuan Keli who was sitting on the side, and said with a smile: "Lord Yuan, it seems that the people in the city are still quite anxious, we just sent someone here!" ”

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Yuan Keli said in a deep voice: "Lord Sun, I don't think so, I think the people in Chengdu City are worried about us." Coming in such a hurry was just to send someone to remind us. Our scouts have already investigated, and Chengdu City is only surrounded on both sides, so it's no problem to get in and out. ”

"Worried about us? Remind us? What do you mean? Sun Chuanting looked at Yuan Keli in surprise and asked hesitantly, obviously his head hadn't turned around yet.

Sighing softly, Yuan Keli naturally knew why Sun Chuanting couldn't think of it, so he had to say helplessly: "We scouts come back to report, there are about 100,000 rebels!" They were worried that we would be outnumbered and in love, and they had sent people to remind us of this. ”

Touching the sword on his waist, Sun Chuanting didn't know what mood he was in now, and what he felt in his heart could be said to be very complicated. It seems to be very atmospheric to be slighted, and at the same time I feel funny, but I really don't know what to say.

Waving his hand at the herald, Yuan Keli also said helplessly: "Let him come in!" ”

After a short time, a general of the Ming army walked in quickly, saluted Sun Chuanting, and said loudly: "Zhou Sisheng, the lowly Chengdu staff general, has seen two adults. On the orders of Lord Zhu, the political envoy of Sichuan, he came to greet the two adults! ”

Nodding slowly, Yuan Keli suddenly showed a smile on his face, and said in a happy voice: "Lord Zhu has a heart!" What else do you have to do this time? Once xing makes it clear! ”

Zhou Sisheng was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this old man to talk like this, but he felt very much in line with his appetite. With a light fist clench, Zhou Sisheng said in a deep voice: "My lord, there are now 20,000 defenders in the city, and Qin Liangyu, the envoy of Shizhu Xuanfu, is also in the city. Lord Zhu asked the humble post to ask, what are your plans? How do you need to cooperate in the city? ”

Glancing at Zhou Sisheng, Sun Chuanting and Yuan Keli glanced at each other, and said in a deep voice: "Go back and tell Lord Zhou, we will attack early tomorrow, and you will rush out at a time of your own." But a word of caution, the artillery will come out when we're done. ”

It seemed that Sun Chuanting's tone was not very good, and Zhou Sisheng's god suddenly became a little unsightly, but he knew that he was not qualified to say anything. Facing Sun Chuanting and the two of them with a fist, Zhou Sisheng said in a deep voice: "I understand my humble position!" After speaking, Zhou Sisheng turned around, obviously preparing to leave.

"General Zhou, wait a minute!" Yuan Keli seemed to sense Sun Chuanting's unhappiness, obviously because of what he had just said. But now is not the time to explain, he hurriedly stopped Zhou Sisheng and said in a deep voice: "You go back and tell Master Zhu that I am here, and the old man is Yuan Keli." Let Lord Zhu rest assured that Ming Ri will definitely be able to defeat the rebels in a battle! ”

Bowing to Yuan Keli, Zhou Sisheng said respectfully: "Yes, my lord!" The lowly must bring the words! ”

When Zhou Sisheng left, Yuan Keli smiled bitterly and said to Sun Chuanting: "Chuanting, old man!" ”

"Lord Yuan, don't say anything, it's a gaffe! This time, the emperor sent the court out, and the court could not embarrass the emperor, and he must fight to attack the city. Sun Chuanting's spirit was very dignified, and his eyes were also unusually firm, obviously he had made up his mind.

Yuan Keli naturally understood that Sun Chuanting was leading the troops at such a young age, and it must be the Emperor of the Apocalypse who was strong enough to override public opinion. Sun Chuanting shoulders the trust of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and the grace of knowing is high and deep, if there is anything wrong this time, it is not Sun Chuanting's business alone. The Emperor of the Apocalypse will definitely fall into an unknown reputation, and Sun Chuanting's pressure can be imagined.

"Chuanting, for the sake of the collapse of Mount Tai in front and se, don't let anyone or anything block the train of thought, this is what the old man can tell you!" Yuan Keli smiled indifferently, his eyes were very soft, as if he was looking at a junior!

Bowing to Yuan Keli, Sun Chuanting said gratefully: "Chuanting has been taught!" Thank you, sir, for your teachings. ”

calmly accepted Sun Chuanting's salute, Yuan Keli knew that Sun Chuanting was a disciple to his disciples, and the relationship between the two was one step closer. He also likes Sun Chuanting very much, so he is naturally happy to see it.

Time flew by, and the next morning it was just dawn, and the camps of both armies were moving. Obviously, both sides are not ready to look at it like this today, the battle is today!

The Ming army at the head of the city was also preparing, and Zhu Xieyuan boarded the city early, looking at the camps on both sides, his face was very solemn. He was still a little worried in his heart, after all, 20,000 people would be a little difficult to face so many rebels. Although he already knew that Yuan Keli was in the army, he was still very worried in his heart.

However, Zhu Xieyuan didn't expect that Yuan Keli would appear here, which also reassured him. He naturally knew Yuan Keli's ability, and when he thought of Yuan Keli, he suddenly felt a lot more secure in his heart.

The Ming army and the rebels outside the city were all preparing, but it was obvious that the Ming army was faster and was soon ready. In front of the Ming army camp, there were two rows of Ming soldiers, they were in groups of four, two people carried a small artillery, and the other two people carried a large package.

There were 400 men in all, and each of them found a place to set up the guns, and then unwrapped them, and they were all round shells. Because of the rifling problem, the shells could only be rounded. However, this kind of artillery modified according to the Tiger Zun cannon can now be four miles away, which means that most of the rebels' camps are within the range of the artillery.

At the head of Chengdu City, the King of Shu led the Chengdu officials to watch. When the King of Shu came today, he still had a smile on his face, obviously yesterday's incident was not taken to heart. However, at this time, the King of Shu frowned slightly, turned around and asked Zhu Xieyuan: "Lord Zhu, what are those soldiers busy with?" Are they setting up artillery? Why hasn't this king seen it! ”

Zhu Xieyuan was even more confused, he naturally hadn't seen it, and his face sank and said: "Back to the prince, the minister hasn't seen it either!" ”

"Lord Wang, my lord! This kind of artillery has been seen in a humble manner! The face of the King of Shu just showed a look of disappointment, and a voice sounded in everyone's ears, which surprised everyone.

When everyone followed the voice, they found that the person who spoke turned out to be Qin Liangyu, a general who had never spoken much. Zhu Xieyuan was better, and the King of Shu couldn't wait to say: "General Qin, hurry up and talk about it!" ”

"Yes, my lord! This kind of artillery is called a two-person cannon, and the first time I saw it was in the army led by Sun Chengzong Sun. It is said that it was newly developed by the firearms factory, and because it can be carried by two people, it is called two people to carry the cannon. Compared to the bulky Hongyi cannon, this two-person cannon is much less powerful in terms of both sheer and power. However, the advantages of this cannon are also very obvious, easy to carry and very fast, ordinary artillery shoots a cannonball, this kind of artillery has already produced two! Qin Liangyu replied respectfully, and then said what he knew.

Everyone present was stunned, obviously not expecting this to be the new artillery of the imperial court, Zhu Xieyuan frowned and said, "Could it be that this is the army of Northern Xinjiang?" Although he is in Sichuan, he still knows the situation in Liaodong, and although he reports slowly, he will still arrive. (To be continued.)
