Dingzhou City, State Pastoral Mansion. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as Yu Wen entered the back house, the tip of his nose moved, and he smelled a strong smell of medicine.

The black clouds in the sky were low, the cold wind was howling, and the faint crying came from the side, which made him tighten his neck.

'It is rumored that Lord Zhou Mu suddenly vomited three liters of blood, and it seems that it is not groundless! ’

He thought silently in his heart, but his face made a sad look.

Dingzhou is in a hurry, and Shi Gaoshun has completely relieved himself of his duties, and all the burdens are on Xu Chun.

Yu Wen sighed, just now, it really seems to be destiny.

"Lord Yu!"

The next person went in to report, and it didn't take long for a housekeeper to greet him: "I don't know what happened when the adults came?" ”

"Just a trifle...... In the harsh winter, the dripping water turned into ice, and the soldiers in the city urgently needed 3,000 sets of winter clothes, as well as charcoal, medicinal herbs and other ......"

As Yu Wen spoke, he saw a difficult look on the butler's face.

The siege of the city by the army not only delayed the autumn harvest, but also the money and grain of the counties and counties had no shadow, of course, at this time, there was only this lonely city in Dingzhou.

The war is fought with military supplies, and under the myriad circumstances, even if the state pastor has to raise it, it is not easy.

'Especially...... The family is all grass on the wall! Seeing that there was only one lonely city left in Dingzhou, the court reprimanded in the name, but no heavenly soldiers came, where did you not know how powerful it was? In addition, the spies of the Xie family and the Lin family continued to spread the news, and as early as more than a month ago, they began to excuse themselves, and they couldn't force it, so they produced dozens of stones of old grain, and they were called Huazi'......

The tax can't be paid, and the family can't make any efforts, even if Yu Wen knows that the state city has reached a desperate situation!

Unless Zhang Wenzhen dares to kill all the big clans in the city and collect all their food and property, he will definitely not be able to survive next spring.

But if you really want to do this, especially under the premise of being overwhelmed by the army, it is just a dead end.

All the scholars asked for was to ensure the land and the power of the Jinshi, and they really didn't care which one sat on the dragon chair.

What's more, the city of civil and military affairs is also inextricably linked with these families, or they are simply the people among them, even if Zhang Wenzhen wants to start, he will inevitably backlash!

'Alas...... It is understandable that the state pastor is in a hurry to attack the heart of the internal and external difficulties......

Yu Wen's eyes flashed, and then he said what he meant: "Besides...... When the general of my family heard that the condition of the state pastor was worsening, he specially ordered me to come and greet one or two, and dared to ask the lordship......"

"Woo ......"

At this moment, the cry of the inner house was high-pitched.

On the sickbed, Zhou Mu Xu Chun was as thin as firewood, his face was like white paper, only his cheeks were slightly flushed, and he had obviously reached the final stage of death.

He stretched out his claw-like hands, as if he was about to grasp something, and his chest was ho-ho.

"Sir...... But what do you want to explain? ”

His wife Zhang asked, and hurriedly scolded several concubines and maids around him: "Be quiet, do you want to make the master uneasy?" ”

She is also from everyone's background, and she is very able to calm the scene, especially after Xu Chun's death, she will immediately be in charge of life and death, and driving away a few concubines and maids is just a matter of thought.

Those concubines have sons and daughters to rely on, but those who don't are immediately frightened, and when they see the old man looking like he is about to die, he completely lost his mind and didn't dare to move at all.

"National ...... National ......"

Xu Chunnu moved his mouth, and finally spit out a few words: "State affairs are difficult, pay Zhang Wenzhen, winter ...... Winter ......"

But he couldn't say any more, his palm fell, and he closed his breath.

"Master!!"

Zhang probed his palm and saw that Xu Chun's breathing had stopped, and he couldn't help but cry bitterly.

For a while, the crying in the entire inner house shook the sky.

When Yu Wen and the housekeeper were looking at each other, a small servant ran out, holding the prepared filial piety clothes and black belts, but he couldn't cry: "Steward Qian, master...... The lord went to ......."

As soon as these words came out, the housekeeper's lips were also blue, as if he had lost his backbone in an instant.

Even Yu Wen, watching the collapse of the Dinghai Divine Needle in this state city, he also fell into a trance all of a sudden.

In a daze, I don't know how many words I said, how many people I saw, I said goodbye in a daze, looking at the gloomy sky, Yu Wen suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

"Lord Yu!"

When I walked to a street corner, the two little maids next to me who seemed to have been waiting for a long time immediately greeted me: "My lord is invited!" ”

"You are ......"

Yu Wen's eyes moved, but he didn't say anything and followed them.

Outside the street corner, there was a carriage, covered on all sides, and the windows were covered with black cloths.

I don't know how long it took for the carriage to stop behind a big mansion, Yu Wen shook his collar, entered the mansion, and was immediately led directly into the secret room by a housekeeper.

"Master Yu is here too!"

There were already seven or eight people sitting in the room, and under the dim light, their faces were cloudy and uncertain.

"It's you!"

Yu Wen naturally recognized that these were middle-level civil and military officers in the state city, and they belonged to the kind of people who did not have a good reputation, but they held key positions and were very crucial.

Of course, he himself is the same, although he is only a historical document, he can enter and leave the governor's mansion and get close to Zhang Wenzhen.

Such a force, but being so connected, just thinking about it, his hands immediately began to tremble, but his eyes were a little hot.

"Excellent! When Lord Yu saw us, he didn't turn around and left, and he didn't immediately scold, so it can be seen that he is also a fellow practitioner! ”

A young voice came, and a person who looked like a prince of a family came to the throne: "Little brother Xie Wusi, I have seen you!" ”

"People from the Xie family?"

Yu Wen nodded: "No wonder you can invite so many people, what do you want to do?" ”

"This should be asked by the adults!"

Xie Wusi smiled and groaned: "Your Excellency just came out of the State Pastoral Mansion, but Xu Chun is dead?" ”

Yu Wen was surprised that the Xie family was well-informed, but he still nodded, and after admitting this, everyone in the hall was different, but they all felt relieved.

"The state pastor is generous and kind to us, but how can a small favor and a small favor be worthy of the righteousness of life and death of the people in the city?"

A middle-aged officer spoke indifferently.

"Not bad...... Dingzhou City is about to be broken, and we should also discuss the way back, and at the same time plan for the future of the state pastor! ”

A civil servant next to him said: "At least...... With Wuzhen's promise, after the army entered the city, there would be no offense, and even the state pastor's family could be pardoned, which was worthy of the friendship of our colleagues......"

"Exactly!"

When several officers heard this, their eyes lit up and they echoed loudly.

Yu Wen heard the cold hair on his back, and firmly remembered this civil official who spoke out, and thought in his heart: 'In terms of thick skin and ruthless thinking, this person can be said to be handsome for a while, and he must not be offended in the future......

"Good!"

Xie Wusi was overjoyed: "All of you are great heroes with your hearts to the king!" ”

Everyone didn't dare to say anything, and Yu Wen originally wanted to find a way back, echoed a few words, and agreed half-push and half-on-the-spot, and then his face showed embarrassment: "It's just that the military power in the city is mostly in the hands of Zhang Wenzhen, this person is a confidant of the state pastor, and the court is loyal, so it's not easy to deal with ......"

"Besides...... And the messengers are here! ”

"Zhang Wenzhen was just a deputy general before, so what is he afraid of?"

Several officers next to him spoke: "In terms of seniority in the army, you have to rank behind a certain family, and it is not the order of the state pastor, who is willing to listen to him?" ”

"With a few helpers, at least Simon will not be a problem! As for Zhang Wenzhen? ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Xie Wusi's mouth: "Since this person is determined to resist the heavenly soldiers, he can only send him to die, not only will he die, but the family will not be able to escape!" ”

This cold murderous aura suddenly made Yu Wen feel excited.

……

"Although I already know the truth of qi and numbers, I don't want Xu Chun to die, and the luck in Dingzhou City will decline like this!"

Lao Dao returned to the post station and called Confucian scholars and generals: "I'll wait to prepare, it's time to go!" ”

"But as soon as Xu Chun died, there was immediate instability in the city?"

Confucius stroked his beard and sighed.

"As long as we find clues, we will immediately contact Zhang Wenzhen to make the first move, and we will not be without a fight!"

The general snorted coldly.

"This is the number of days, and it can be reversed by non-human beings!"

Lao Dao smiled bitterly, the families in the city are preparing for the back road, and they have other thoughts, what else can they do with strangers?

If you use your magic power and forcibly suppress it, do you really think that the hidden power on the other side is a vegetarian?

And forcibly fighting against such luck, even if it is oneself, will be demerited and cause evil consequences.

"Go to Hugh! Go Hugh! ”

Therefore, I can only sigh with my sleeves.

"Alas...... You ......"

The general stomped his feet, if the old man was determined not to help, he would at most inform Zhang Wenzhen to strengthen his vigilance, but the rest was simply unthinkable.

"Unexpected...... Since three hundred years ago, the rebellion at the end of the Shang Dynasty came, and the world has entered a strong period......"

A trace of sadness appeared on the old Ru's face, but he didn't say much.

Now it is obvious that they cannot do anything, and they are not obliged to accompany their loyal ministers to their deaths.

……

Time flies.

Six years of peace have passed, and the moment is seven years of peace.

The world is still in turmoil, and in Dingzhou, the battle to besiege Dingzhou City has finally been carried out to the last moment.

Xu Chun's death brought a trace of pathos to the New Year, not only swept away the last trace of joy of the festival, but also seemed to draw the last end to the rule of the old court in Dingzhou.

"Trebuchet, fa!"

Qi Lin and Chen Jingzong had a good spare time, taking turns attacking the city every day, and constantly strengthening their efforts.

Under the situation of the unification of Dingzhou, all parts of the country are stable, so that they have enough spare time to slowly grind this fortified city.

The families in the city have long been unable to bear it, and they have sent out documents of surrender, secretly connecting with each other, and their power is getting bigger and bigger.

"Again!"

Qi Lin was wearing armor, roaring loudly, looking at the waves of soldiers, as well as flying arrows and throwing stones, and his eyes turned to the direction of Luoshui from time to time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
