Chapter 792: Open the City Gate
The man suddenly smiled when he heard Governor Lu's words, and his eyes were full of confidence and glory.
Governor Lu immediately had a bad premonition.
"I forgot to tell the man," said the man, "that we are from the southeast." ”
With a "bang", the deputy general beside Governor Lu immediately pulled out his sharp weapon, but he didn't expect that he had just gotten rid of the Zhang family and would immediately face the southeast.
"Really." Governor Lu muttered.
Seeing that Governor Lu seemed to have no intention of struggling, the deputy general immediately said anxiously: "Your Excellency gets on the horse, and we will escort your Excellency back to the city." ”
Governor Lu shook his head: "If they want us to die, Zhizhou will just watch from the wall when he makes a move against us, why bother to save us." ”
The deputy general looked at those people, he understood what Governor Lu said, but he became more and more confused, so what do these people mean?
Governor Lu said: "And our city gate is closed, they appear here, it can be seen that there is another way to the north, and there is no need to pass through Shuyang City." ”
After saying this, Governor Lu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "Why did you take a fancy to Shuyang City?" Is it because of me? ”
No one could answer his words.
Governor Lu continued: "Song ...... Song Chengxuan, do you have something to bring to me? ”
The man was obviously a little dissatisfied with the title of Governor Lu: "Your Excellency has arrived in the city, you want to know that you are going to welcome your Excellency into the city." ”
With that, the man did not hesitate any longer, and turned and walked into the woods.
Let's go.
I was really busy heading north.
Governor Lu looked at the backs of these people for a while before coming back to his senses.
"Quick, go back to the city!"
Governor Lu rushed to the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city had a panicked look on their faces, and when they saw Governor Lu, they immediately greeted him: "Lord Prefect, it seems that someone is coming over there." ”
In the darkness, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard, as if someone was riding a horse.
The men on the city walls tried to shine under the city, and in the night came one man and one rider.
Governor Lu thought of what the person in the southeast said, could it be that the person who came was Song Chengxuan? He came alone, so he was not afraid of being surrounded and killed by them?
Governor Lu couldn't help but clench his hands, his palms were full of cold sweat.
Obviously, Song Chengxuan should be flustered, after all, they have people in a city, and Song Chengxuan has only one person.
"My lord, what should I do?" The adjutant asked.
Governor Lu swallowed, only to feel that his throat was scraped by a knife, and he instructed the soldiers in the city: "Shoot arrows around the outside of the city, in case there are soldiers and horses in ambush behind him." ”
A wave of arrows shot from the city walls, and the men and horses under the city did not move a single bit.
The adjutant general said, "I'm sure there's no one else." ”
Governor Lu's eyes fell on Song Chengxuan, and after a while, he finally said, "Open the city gate and let him in." ”
The adjutant general said in a low voice: "Is there any arrangement in the city?" "Everyone looked trembling, as if they didn't notice that the whole city would be destroyed.
It's just one person, everyone is afraid of this, if the people from the southeast really come to attack the city, they will take Shuyang in less than half a day.
The gates were wide open.
Song Chengxuan rode into the city, the crisp sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the people on horseback were sitting precariously, and the armor on his body was turning over the cold light.
The adjutant general was about to surround him, but as soon as the people on horseback moved, the cleats of the armor on their bodies struck slightly, and when they heard the drums in everyone's ears, the soldiers all took a few steps backwards, and no one dared to step forward again.
The war horse continued to move forward, and only stopped after walking out of the city tower, and Song Chengxuan turned over and dismounted.
The soldiers defending the city took two more steps back.
Lu Zhifu's face is ugly, Shuyang is not far from the southeast, Song Chengxuan's prestige they naturally know, after Song Chengxuan arrived in the southeast, many people volunteered to go to the army, after Songjiang Mansion opened up the wasteland, many people also went to Songjiang Mansion to seek livelihood, the southeast is becoming more and more prosperous, they all see it in their eyes, he also moved his mind, want to go to the southeast to ask Mrs. Song for agricultural advice, but the imperial court has always been wary of the southeast, and they naturally do not dare to move too close to the southeast.
Although people didn't move, they were still affected, especially at a time like now, when Da Zhou was in a mess, and I didn't know what to do was the right choice.
"Let's go to the official office!" Song Chengxuan said lightly.
Governor Lu immediately straightened his back and walked forward together, he put Song Chengxuan into the city, just to figure out the situation in front of him, not to surrender to the enemy.
Walking into the mansion, Song Chengxuan stepped forward to unfold the map.
"The emperor is in Shunyang, Zhang Yuchi should have arrived in the capital by now."
Song Chengxuan pointed to the past.
The drop of wax oil on the capital is still there, like a cage, trapping the capital there.
Song Chengxuan's hand pointed to Tatar: "These are the two cities captured by Zhang Yuchi, deep in the Tatar, need a large number of soldiers and horses to guard, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Zhang Yuchi leaves the northern Xinjiang, and must send additional manpower to go, because only when the northern Xinjiang is stable, he can rest assured that he can act in Beijing." ”
Governor Lu took two steps forward, so that he could see more closely.
Song Chengxuan continued: "That's why the Tatars want to lose two cities to Zhang Yuchi. ”
Governor Lu followed Song Chengxuan's finger and looked over.
"The Tatars don't need to recapture the city, as long as they take Xuanfu, these two cities will be surrounded by the Tatars, becoming two empty cities, without the supply of food and grass, the army will be exhausted.
Can the Governor of Lu know why the Great Zhou Dynasty is holding on to the important frontier towns? ”
Hearing Song Chengxuan's question, Governor Lu immediately said: "Because the city wall of the important town is strong, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”
Song Chengxuan's face was indifferent: "The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty practice how to defend the city on weekdays, but they can't stay in the city due to the lack of food and grass, and the soldiers can only choose to break through, but unfortunately the two cities are already in Tatar, and the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are not familiar with the surrounding environment, and once they go out of the city, they will inevitably be surrounded and killed by the Tatars." ”
Governor Lu's heart was cold: "So the soldiers and horses left in those two cities have been handed over to the Tartars." ”
Song Chengxuan continued: "The soldiers and horses that were originally guarding in the north were divided into three roads, all the way to Beijing with Zhang Yuchi, all the way to Tatar, all the way to stay in Xuanfu and other towns, can these soldiers and horses hold the checkpoint when they come to attack?" ”
Governor Lu's clothes were already soaked with sweat.
Song Chengxuan turned his head, and his dark eyes fell on Governor Lu: "Who will stop the Tatars at that time?" Zhang Yuchi or Wang Shi? ”
Wang Shi went to Shunde to rescue the driver, and Zhang Yuchi was in turmoil with the prince.
By the time everyone reacts, I'm afraid it's too late.
Governor Lu is exhausted, and there are millions of people in Beijing alone, which is not only half of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but so many lives.
"Lord Song is going north to face the Tatars?" Governor Lu's voice was hoarse, "Your army passed through Shuyang, I want to make an appearance, Shuyang soldiers are not bloody, let you go north, and some people in the state capital behind will follow suit, and the road from southeast to north will be much smoother." ”
Song Chengxuan stood there and didn't speak, but Governor Lu could feel the oppressive power of those two gazes.
Governor Lu said: "Why me? ”
"As a prefect, claiming to be a parent official, and defending the people, he naturally has the ability to deduce the general trend, and it is up to the Lu prefect to decide where the people and soldiers of this city will go."
Song Chengxuan turned around as he spoke: "If you don't open the city gate early tomorrow morning, I will order the siege of the city and take Shuyang before noon." ”
Governor Lu raised his head to look at Song Chengxuan, Song Chengxuan's figure was like a halo under the illumination of the lights, making people unable to look directly.
When the footsteps faded away, Governor Lu sat down on the chair.
"Lord Prefect," the lieutenant general stepped forward, "what are we going to do?" ”
Lu Zhifu looked out the window and was silent.
The sky in the distance gradually brightened, and Governor Lu got up to extinguish the lamps beside him, and he walked all the way to the city gate, and after climbing the city tower, he saw the flag fluttering not far away.
A big "Qi" character on the flag is waving in the wind.
Song Sung-hyun finally admitted his identity.
This moment turned out to be the same as the Wang Shi he was looking forward to, maybe it was destined to be so.
"Open the city gates," Governor Lu commanded, "welcome the southeastern army into the city." ”
Who will save the Great Zhou situation? Maybe it's Song Chengxuan.
……
Capital.
In the palace.
The Queen Mother looked at Zhang Yuchi and Zhang Jingshu in surprise.
"You guys are really crazy," the Queen Mother was no longer as calm as usual, "assassinate the emperor and set up a new monarch, what do you want to do?" ”
Zhang Yuchi put down the tea bowl in his hand: "The Queen Mother, the young son is still young, and he will be able to govern after more than ten years, and you are not in charge of the overall situation after the curtain, I am all for the sake of the Zhang family." ”
"Then you shouldn't be at such a time," the Queen Mother said, "Song Chengxuan in the southeast hasn't gotten rid of ...... yet."
"Hmph", Zhang Yuchi said coldly, "After the emperor gets rid of Song Chengxuan, the next one will be to deal with me, the fate of the eldest brother and the third brother is there, how can I make such a mistake." ”
At this point, there's no use going on.
The Queen Mother said in a trembling voice: "But now the emperor is not dead. ”
"Don't get in the way," Zhang Yuchi was very sure, "I have brought people into Beijing, and I have already gone to Shunde, and I will find the emperor before King Cheng arrives." ”
The Queen Mother said: "What if it doesn't work?" You haven't thought about it? ”
"It must be successful," Zhang Yuchi smiled, "Otherwise, our entire Zhang family will die, I think the Queen Mother should have a way to ensure that our Zhang family can have the last laugh." ”
