The whereabouts of Lord Min are unknown, making the original armistice agreement a dead letter. In the battle with King Huai, more than a month after the resignation, there were signs of a resurgence of beacon smoke.

"We must not let that kid surnamed Liu have a rat poop that spoils the overall situation of the court."

On the one hand, Yuan Bolang stabilized the envoys of King Huai, and on the other hand, he stepped up the search for Liu Yu, and he firmly believed that the whole world was not the king's land, and even if he hid in the mountains, he could be arrested.

Things were not as simple as he thought, the envoys of Huaidi only stayed in Xuzhou City for two days and lost their patience, and then on the third day, the envoys of King Huai in the post house suddenly disappeared. Min Shaoqing hurriedly informed Yuan Bolang of the news, and Yuan Bolang was shocked, but also thought that a supernatural event had occurred.

"Didn't find them out of town?" Yuan Bolang asked.

Min Shaoqing said helplessly: "The city gates are closed, how can the envoys of King Huai get out of the city?" ”

Yuan Bolang was stunned on the spot, and said in his heart, could it be that Meng Chuliang received the news and escaped with makeup? He knew that the gate of Xuzhou City was only open to the north gate in Shenshi during the war, and immediately ordered: "Min Taishou, immediately send someone to guard the city gate, don't let the surnamed Meng escape!" ”

Although Yuan Bolang took precautions, he still fetched water with a bamboo basket, and Meng Chuliang did not leave the north gate of Xuzhou, and for two days, he still could not find out Meng Chuliang's whereabouts. Yuan Bolang was in a hurry, originally detaining Meng Chuliang could be regarded as a containment of King Huai, who knew that Meng Chuliang was so shrewd, and before he could come forward, he had already fled. This is obviously the news that the intelligence officers in Huaidi have received the news, and the news that the county lord of Min has been secretly killed has become more and more real.

"It's over, it's over!"

Yuan Bolang sighed and immediately instructed his entourage. "Pack your bags. Prepare to return north with Luan. ”

King Huai went to war with the imperial court. Xuzhou City bore the brunt of the attack, and at this time, if Luan Jia did not move away, the entire Dashun Dynasty would be finished. On the one hand, Yuan Bolang ordered his entourage to pack up, and on the other hand, he went to see the new emperor, and after denouncing the shameless villain who was bad for the court, Yuan Bolang also euphemistically proposed that it was time to go back to Luoyang City or Chang'an City.

The new emperor's personal expedition was too dangerous, Yuan Bolang did not agree, and now he took advantage of this opportunity to quickly fool the new emperor to return to Chang'an. Only there is the safest.

"If General Liu doesn't come back, I won't go anywhere, just wait in Xuzhou City." Su Yan said in a firm tone.

Yuan Bolang was dumbfounded, the new emperor is going to kill himself? It doesn't matter if the new emperor dies stupidly, he will be buried with an old bone!?

Now he knows the strength of Xuzhou City, but with four or five thousand defenders, the Huai army is casually tens of thousands of horses, and the Huai army is well-trained and has the experience of attacking the city before, if Xuzhou City is besieged, it will be a question whether it can hold on for a day.

"The emperor thinks twice!"

Su Yan said impatiently: "It's useless to think twice." General Liu said that he wanted to keep my throne. I have to hold it firmly in Xuzhou City until I see him, although I don't understand General Liu's words very well, but what he says becomes a reality every time. I believe that General Liu was not wrong this time. ”

Yuan Bolang said angrily: "It's that damn kid surnamed Liu again!" Your Majesty, that kid can only bewitch the public, and he still has a heart of disobedience! If he was thinking about the emperor wholeheartedly, how could he send the emperor to a dangerous place, but he himself was nowhere to be seen? ”

Su Yan thought for a while and said, "General Liu may have something more important to do. ”

After Su Yan finished speaking, he didn't want to say anything more to the old man, so he walked to the inner hall alone, and when the new emperor had already entered the inner hall, Yuan Bolang still stood in place with a wry smile, he found that the "traitorous and misleading the country" that had been rumored many times in history might happen in front of him, and he might also become a traitor scolded by everyone in the history books!

"Yuan Xiangguo, Yuan Xiangguo...... Let's go. The new emperor's attendant Wu Gonggong persuaded, "Unless General Liu appears in front of the emperor now, the emperor will not listen to what you say, hurry up and arrange the city defense, but don't let the army of the rebel king come in!" ”

Yuan Bolang sighed in his heart, even an old man is greedy for life and afraid of death, how can the new emperor not enter like this? Arrange city defenses? Is it his turn to do it?

As soon as Yuan Bolang returned to the hotel, he received news that the generalissimo was about to lead his troops into Xuzhou City.

"Rebel against the Generalissimo?" Yuan Bolang's hateful figure immediately appeared in his mind, but after thinking about it, this title was not Liu Yu's, but another hopelessly stupid fool.

Seeing that Min Shaoqing and the generals of Xuzhou City were jubilant, Yuan Bolang sighed: "Just send the soldiers, and others will not use them." ”

Min Shaoqing was very puzzled, could it be that the generalissimo who rebelled against him didn't invite Yuan Xiangguo to see him?

When he met the person who rebelled against the generalissimo Chai Jin, he realized that what Yuan Bolang said was indeed the truth, where is this rebellion against the generalissimo, it is simply an elm lump that can't get a fart for a day! And Chai Jin did not bring the soldiers originally stationed in Luoyang City, but only brought a small part of the Imperial Forest Army, plus the defenders in some places, all of which added up to only more than 4,000 soldiers.

Most of them were infantry, and they didn't bring grain and grass, which obviously meant that they wanted to eat the grain stored in Xuzhou City, and the grain in Xuzhou City was indeed not much. Min Shaoqing was in such a hurry, he couldn't cope with thousands of mouths, but now he has more than 4,000 mouths, so he has to eat Xuzhou City poorly!

"General Chai, I wonder when the follow-up baggage grain and grass will arrive?"

Chai Hulu frowned deeply, then squinted at Min Shaoqing, and did not speak.

"General Chai, when will the follow-up reinforcements arrive in Xuzhou City?"

Chai Hulu coughed, then smiled embarrassedly, but still didn't speak.

"General Chai, I don't know what you think about the defense of Xuzhou City?"

Chai Hulu blinked, lowered his head and thought for a while, Min Shaoqing said in his heart that this guy was finally going to say something, who knew that Chai Jin thought about it for a while, and then asked very seriously: "This brother, your surname?" ”

Min Shaoqing almost fainted in one breath, he had just introduced himself to him just now, and he forgot about it when he turned his head.

"General Chai, the next official is Xuzhou Taishou Min Shaoqing. You ......"

Chai Jin smiled: "It turned out to be Min Taishou, disrespectful, disrespectful." What do you call me? ”

Min Shaoqing was stunned again, and said, "General Chai, isn't this title good?" ”

"Good. Good. Hey. No one ever called me that. That's what you'll call it from now on, and that's okay. Chai Jin was very satisfied with his promotion to general, smiled, and then turned his head to look at Min Shaoqing, "Min Taishou, what did you ask me just now?" ”

Min Shaoqing was speechless, if he could, he really wanted to slap the pumpkin in the face. How can such a stupid person be a general? Or rebel against the Generalissimo!? It's good if the court really has no one to use. This is clearly the new emperor's nepotism, and everyone knows that this stupid guy is the brother-in-law of the new emperor and the father-in-law of the fourth princess.

"Damn, this kind of person can be a marshal, do you still need to fight this battle?"

When Min Shaoqing told Ma Feng about the trip, Ma Feng said angrily.

Min Shaoqing sighed: "Don't say that, the new emperor can come to Xuzhou City, whether it is good or bad, who can predict?" ”

"What else to expect? Presumably, the new emperor was surrounded by a group of villains, encouraging the new emperor to the front line of the war. Who knew that the man named Liu Wenyan was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he left the new emperor and fled. The Huai army came to attack. Xuzhou City will be lost, and then the Great Shun Dynasty will change hands! ”

Min Shaoqing complained: "How can you talk regardless of the occasion, such words ......"

"I'll just say that if I want! Isn't that the case? Ma Feng pointed outside and said, "Min Taishou, look at the city wall outside, which side has not been attacked by the Huai army?" If the Huai army comes back to another round of onslaught, do you think this wall can hold for a few days? ”

Suddenly, a guard came in at the door and reported: "Taishou, Assassin Shi, the military department has ordered the city wall to be repaired." ”

"Repair the walls?"

Min Shaoqing and Ma Feng glanced at each other, it seems that this firewood horse is really ready to fight for a long time in Xuzhou City, just came to Xuzhou City, and was ready to build the city wall before he could gain a firm foothold.

It is said that it is repaired, but in fact, it is still the local people, in fact, the local people have also been repairing the city wall.

"How is he going to fix it?"

Ma Feng asked, and the guard looked embarrassed, obviously Ma Feng's question was beyond the scope of what he knew.

"Let's go, go and ask."

Min Shaoqing and Ma Feng went to meet Chai Jin together, at this time Chai Jin was looking at the city defense map of Xuzhou City seriously, seriously making Min Shaoqing and Ma Feng feel a little excessive, staring at Xiao for half an hour motionless, thinking that he was asleep, he stepped forward to take a closer look, Chai Jin was really carefully looking at every detail on the map.

"Chai Horse, how to build this city wall?"

Chai Jin looked at Min Shaoqing with a blank face, and then looked at Ma Feng, and asked with a bitter face: "Repair the city wall, that's how to repair it, what do you say?" ”

Ma Feng said in an unkind tone: "You should always explain which side to repair, and then whether to increase or reinforce, some details must be implemented before they can be repaired!" ”

"Oh, the walls have to be repaired on all sides anyway. Let's take it first...... West's. Heightened a little, reinforced a little, that's all, almost. ”

Ma Feng and Min Shaoqing glanced at each other, not understanding why they had to start repairing from the west, and Ma Feng also asked this question.

"General Chai, the west city wall is not the main direction of the Huai army's attack, why don't you build the south side first?"

Chai Jin was stupid, he couldn't say anything when he thought of it, and after muttering for a long time, he said, "That's it...... West. ”

Ma Feng and Min Shaoqing's faces were not very good-looking, since the generalissimo said that he would repair the city wall, and also pointed out that starting from the west, they would do so. Walking on the road, Ma Feng complained: "With such a dumb general, how can the imperial court be qualified to fight with King Huai?" ”

Min Shaoqing said thoughtfully: "At least he is a pragmatic general." ”

Although this firewood horse is stupid, it is indeed very pragmatic as Min Shaoqing said, and when he came to Xuzhou City, he began to direct the construction of the city wall below. The overseers were all officers and soldiers, and the repairers of the city wall did not completely recruit the people, and the soldiers also picked up bricks and shovels and went up to the city wall to repair them themselves. This surprised Ma Feng.

"If you can go into battle to kill the enemy, you can be a bricklayer to repair the wall. These soldiers are really interesting. ”

The peaceful life of Xuzhou City lasted until the second day of the winter month, seeing that winter was coming and the snow season was approaching.

On the second day of the first month of winter, the west city wall was almost repaired, the craftsmen were ready to replace the next wall repair, the war drums and thunder outside, the Huai army regrouped, and completed the siege of Xuzhou City. (To be continued......)
