Wushushe is as usual, quiet with a bit of hustle and bustle, the faint fragrance of pen and ink in the air is intoxicating, An Sheng is wearing a cyan robe, holding an incomprehensible wild book in his hand, quietly looking at the people coming and going, and a pair of eyes to probe all kinds of people.

This is a technical job, you can't just give it to a person, you have to give it to a person who has a little connection, and likes to share it on weekdays, he locked his eyes on a scholar in a green robe at the corner of the stairs, An Sheng has observed, people who come and go will say hello when they see him, he is wild and happy to answer questions for others, and he will also indignantly accuse those politicians in the book, thinking that he is a very popular and nosy person, An Sheng locked the target and walked towards him.

The man was reading with his head down, when he was suddenly bumped into by someone, and he took two steps back, and was about to accuse, when he saw that only one of his figures had disappeared in a hurry and then turned the corner.

The scholar was so angry that he suddenly saw an unfolded letter at his feet, and he picked it up and was about to put it away, but he "accidentally" saw the contents of the letter, and was shocked for a moment, and looked around cautiously, and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he hurried back to his room.

An Sheng hid behind and watched his every move, and couldn't help but admire his good acting skills, and then, just wait for the fermentation of things.

At this time, it was the first day of Xie Chen's grain delivery, and it was also the fourth day of the food shortage in the east, the Yiren guarded the city gate, kept looking into the distance, from early morning to dusk, the patrols around him changed a batch, only her red figure, has been guarding there.

Yan Zijun looked at her emaciated back in just a few days, and couldn't help feeling guilty, and handed her the hot porridge, "Princess, you haven't eaten for a day, let's eat something first." ”

Yiren shook his head, "I have a small stomach, I'm not hungry, you drink, you still have to carry a knife to kill." ”

Yiren looked at his pale face, and knew that she didn't eat, it stands to reason that although they ran out of food, but they would not be forced to this share, it was Xiao Ye who cut off the food of the soldiers he left behind in the east, and the Yiren couldn't, so they could only distribute the little food they had left to them, they were Xiao Ye's soldiers, even if they ate their food, they naturally thought it was their general's strategy, and they were not grateful.

At present, they have been out of food for a few days, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, and they only have to defend the city to eat more every day.

"The informant came to report, saying that the Eastern Barbarians had received a secret letter, and the Emperor of Kyoto had cut off our food and was ready to counterattack, and now he was having a celebration banquet, and tomorrow, he was about to attack him."

If he wants to force them to death, only Xiao Ye, as long as they lose here, he can logically lead the fuse to Xiao Yu'an, Yiren's fingers gradually tightened, and he held back his anger, "Is it possible to take the people out?" ”

They can't hold it, if they can't keep the country, at least they can't let innocent people die.

Yan Zijun shook his head, his expression was grim, "I can't take it out, Xiao Ye sent someone to seal Lancheng, and we are in a dilemma now." ”

A trace of murder flashed in Yiren's cold eyes, she guarded the city gate for a few days, seeing that the people were becoming more and more impetuous, and frequently looked outside the city, if this battle could not be won, Xiao Yu'an would lose the first battle, and it would be difficult to turn the tables in the future.

If it really comes to that point, the Yiren thought, "Then guard the city gates, and if you can keep it for a moment longer, you can kill one more person." ”

Yan Zijun was silent, silently drank the bowl of porridge, suddenly moved, looked at the distance of the city gate, and was pleasantly surprised: "They are here." ”

The iron horsemen of the Eastern Barbarians rushed to the horses' hooves, and the sound in the distance was the sound of the wheels of the carts, and the Yiren looked into the distance, and saw that the little picker was leading a group of people to come, and they were shouting from a long distance, "The grain is coming, the grain is coming." ”

The heavy city gate slowly opened, welcoming them in, and a cheering sound sounded behind them, Yiren's eyes gradually turned red, looking at the tanned little pick, the delicate little girl in the past can now carry the burden.

"Girl, I'm back." Xiao Piao handed her the remaining half a bag of peach blossom crisp, with tears in his eyes, "I brought you back the grain, it came a little late, don't blame the girl." ”

Wushushe operates a royal name, and there are Xiao Ye's people at work along the way, if she hadn't used the name of the princess, she wouldn't be standing here unharmed today, Yiren knows how difficult this journey is.

She helped the person up, "How long can you hold on?" ”

"Three days at most."

Yiren fell into deep thought, "Because Arashi City was sealed? ”

Xiao Xuan nodded, "We escorted the grain and grass in different batches, although the early batches were closed, they could still enter the city in your name, three days ago, all the people in Lancheng were replaced by Xiao Ye's people, and our people couldn't enter, and now there are only the batches that entered Lancheng earlier and the grain and grass in Lancheng." ”

The news spread that it took time for the Wushusha to mobilize grain and grass, so the escort time was different, not to mention that the Wushusha was not in business, but to say that there were so many people in the east, and a few small Wushusha could not support it at all.

"Princess." Yan Zijun suddenly knelt down, "Right now, we need to fight against foreign enemies, Xiao Ye left the garrison, he doesn't care about himself, we ......"

Yiren knew what he was going to say, so he simply rejected him, "No, they are also the people of Dayan, Xiao Ye is a means of not compromised, if we don't care about them, they will definitely die, and if we don't care about them, it is easy to cause riots, which is not what I want to see." ”

Yan Zijun was unwilling, but he didn't say anything.

"You go down first, let the people below have a good rest, and tomorrow morning, we will take the initiative."

"Take the initiative?" Yan Zijun was a little puzzled, "The Eastern Barbarians already know that we are out of food, and they also know how many people we have, so why should we take the initiative to attack." ”

"The Eastern Barbarians don't know what happened to us, all their news was passed on to them by Xiao Ye, since this is the case, we have tried every means to confuse them and make them suspicious of Xiao Ye, only in this way will we not be led by Xiao Ye all the time."

At the moment, all their news is in Xiao Ye's hands, Xiao Ye sealed Lancheng, and the outside of Lancheng is in her hands, Xiao Ye can't receive the news, it is when she holds the sovereignty, and all the plans made by the Eastern Barbarians are based on Xiao Ye's news, as long as she can confuse them, she can win the first battle.

"Tomorrow, the whole army will be dispatched, war drums, military flags, tell Dongban to take a good look, what is a big country that cannot be bullied."

The Eastern Barbarians don't know the strength of the Ye family's soldiers, and Xiao Ye doesn't know the strength of Xiao Houye's troops, this is their biggest weapon, and they will strike with all their strength tomorrow, although they will be hit hard, but they will also hold the eastern border.

Seventeen woke up, it was already night, it was pitch black all around, only the moonlight from the bedside spread on the edge of the bed, the gloomy flute lingered in his ears, he looked out of the window, and saw Shen Qizheng standing under the window and looking up at him.

Seventeen leaned against the window, his eyes were ignorant, not as sharp as before, "Why don't you come up and sit?" ”

After that, turning sideways, Shen Qizheng jumped in through the window, walked straight to the table and poured himself a cup of tea, his face was not very good, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"Get the general a favor."

"Humph!" Shen Qizheng looked him up and down, "As soon as the seventeenth general returned to Beijing, he found many people to help, and he was not afraid of startling the snake." ”

Seventeen was not surprised that he would know this, he asked Li Ruyan to find him, he didn't intend to hide it from him, if Shen Qizheng couldn't figure this out, His Majesty the First Emperor would not keep him by his side.

He poured himself a cup of cold tea, "I came to the general, naturally because the general would help, otherwise, Seventeen would not have taken this risk." ”

"That's how you used this trick to convince Master Li and Master Xie?"

Seventeen didn't deny it, he shook his shoulders indifferently, Shen Qizheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, "Then I'm afraid that the general's trick will not work, I, Shen Qizheng, am not such a kind person." ”

"Of course I know that Lord Shen is not such a kind person, so I came to give orders." He took out the token of the Yiren in his arms, and the meaning was self-evident.

Shen Qizheng's face changed slightly, and the disguised honesty on his face was also a little tense, "Didn't the seventeenth general forget, my Shen family doesn't care about this, just look at who is sitting on the throne." ”

The capital on which his Shen family is based is not to participate in these, but only to protect the people on the throne, so for hundreds of years, no matter how the throne is fighting, his Shen family can be alone, which is also the reason why Xiao Ye still keeps him, but it is also the reason why the first emperor kept him.

Seventeen played with the token in his hand and said casually: "On the night of the palace change on Chinese New Year's Eve, the throne has not yet changed hands, and the princess instructed the general, no matter who sits in that position, the general must protect him well, but?" ”

Shen Qizheng's face was calm, and his face was not very good, "Yes." ”

Seventeen wanted this is the voice yes, and smiled lightly, "In this case, the general listened to the princess's order to protect the people in that position, and now Xiao Ye does not have a jade seal, and Dayan has not yet recognized the master, so it stands to reason that the general is still under the orders of the first emperor." ”

Shen Qizheng didn't expect him to be so shameless, pointing at his nose, he couldn't speak for a long time, he didn't know how to do it, he just used it, Seventeen propped his hands on the table and restrained the playfulness on his face, "I'm not a strong person who is difficult for a strong man, put these aside, the general is willing to help me, this matter is dangerous, if the general is unwilling, I should find someone who has no guilt in my heart." ”

"I don't want to." Shen Qizheng refused without thinking about it, and glanced at him, "You beg me." ”

"Hey!" Seventeen was stunned, looked him up and down, and found that he didn't look honest at all, the whole person was arrogant, his hands were on his hips, "Who is bigger of our two officials?" ”

Shen Qizheng was confident, "You're big!" ”

Seventeen spat at him, "Then why are you?" "Seventeen inherits the name of General Ye Feng Zhenguo, even if the official position is the same size, his weight is much heavier, and Shen Qizheng has to obey.

There was a sound of beating outside, the two were not frolicking, and Seventeen told him about his plan, "It's inconvenient for me to be exposed now, I can't enter the palace, you find someone to set a fire in the palace, don't be discovered by Xiao Ye's people." ”

"You are so big, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape the suspicion of the people around him, that Mr. Su is too evil, the city is very deep, and it is difficult for ordinary people to deal with."

Seventeen thought of Mr. Su, who always smiled gently, and frowned slightly, "I know, he handed it over to me, you can do it foolproof." ”

"It's lockdown!" An Sheng handed him the water bladder, "His Royal Highness sealed the city on the second day of his accession to the throne, and there were several riots outside the city, Xiao Ye didn't care, if it goes on like this, Kyoto will be in chaos." ”

The people of Kyoto are locked inside, like a cage, without the transportation of supplies from the outside world, and if this continues, sooner or later it will be chaotic.

Xiao Ye locked these people out, for a long time, consuming the patience of these people, they have emotions, they will make trouble, so when Xiao Yu'an's army presses the formation, the first thing to solve is the problem in front of them, and it is their troops that are consumed, I have to say that Xiao Ye is scheming enough, or the people around him, Su Li is scheming enough.

The sun had set, and there were still those people gathered outside the city gate, obviously with no intention of leaving, Seventeen glanced at the sun, turned over and dismounted, "It can't go on like this, you must find a way to enter the city." ”

"But in this situation, not to mention entering the city, it is difficult to get out of the city."

Seventeen led the horse and walked back, and walked to the pavilion that Xiao Yuanjun had given him when he left Beijing, they had nowhere to go, and there were refugees everywhere, so they could only find this place to stay.

Ansheng led the horse to feed the grass and did not disturb him.

Seventeen fingers were clasped on the table, and he kept thinking in his heart, it would not be long before Xiao Yu'an's army pressed the formation, at most half a month, he did not plan to stay, nor did he deliberately recover the four realms as he said when he ascended the throne, but went straight to Kyoto, and had the intention of directly crusading against Xiao Ye.

The little lady has no grain and grass now, and she can't last long, even if he wants to send the grain and grass over, he has to write time, so time, time is too important to him.

The night gradually darkened, and a layer of foggy darkness appeared in the distance, and Seventeen suddenly said, "I can't wait any longer, I'm going to enter Beijing tonight."

An Sheng was not surprised, and said bluntly: "I can't get in, Xiao Jue is personally guarding the city gate."

"Just because we can't go in doesn't mean that others can't get in." Seventeen snatched the steamed bun in his hand and swallowed it, "Let me ask you, where is Her Royal Highness the princess standing?" ”

"Your Majesty's."

"Yes!" Seventeen nodded, "She is on His Majesty's side, and she is also supporting His Majesty, and behind Her Majesty is the princess, and Her Royal Highness the princess is indeed standing among the people." ”

"Even if he Xiao Ye doesn't care about the people, he can't do without the people, otherwise what does he mean by being a king?"

Now that he thinks about it, Seventeen vaguely understands that Emperor He has gone to great lengths to stubbornly give the Yiren so much power.

Xiao Ye didn't dare to move her, Xiao Ye ascended the throne because the first emperor had no children, he was a royal bloodline, he had military power in his hands, and suppressed hundreds of officials, if he moved Her Royal Highness the princess, who was in awe of the people, it would be logical to break the reason for his accession to the throne.

Now the princess is on Xiao Yu'an's side, Xiao Ye can also be said to be the princess who was coerced by him, once this layer of paper is pierced, Xiao Ye has no place on the throne, so he will never dare to touch the princess, on the contrary, he must maintain the harmony on his face, so that others believe that it is logical for him to ascend the throne.

Seventeen had a plan in his heart, but An Sheng heard it in a fog, "Didn't you understand?" ”

Seventeen knocked on the door of his head, "Xiao Ye, in order to deny the matter of leaving Zhao, said that the princess is still in Foju Mountain, and now that we enter the city in the name of the princess, Xiao Ye will definitely not dare to stop it." ”
