Chapter 274: Alone

The Ten Kings were still a little hesitant, but Yuan Heng had always opposed his younger brother taking risks.

Yuan Zhen said: "If you really sacrifice me and fulfill everyone, this account will be too cost-effective." Miss Fu is here, and she understands what I do. He is twenty-one years old this year, and he is no longer the frail young man with his flaws, the shadow that shrouded his heart has gradually dissipated, Fu Zhangzhu let him stand up, but to go further depends on his own perseverance.

The Ten Kings said: "How exactly do you plan to do this, what preparations do you need, and how can we cooperate with you?" ”

Yuan Zhen said: "Ready? We've been preparing since we entered Changxing City, and it's almost time to be ready. Father, we have more than 3,000 men in the city. ”

Yuan Heng immediately understood that after they took Changxing, they had been treating the people in the city well, and the military law was strict, and the soldiers under them were not allowed to come to Hu. At the beginning, the prefect of Changxing colluded with the local wealthy merchants to hoard Juqi and complained, and the people were not able to make a living, but it was their team that forced the prefect to open a warehouse and release grain after entering the city, and opened up several rich merchants, so that they could gain a firm foothold in Changxing. The prince of Jin is very particular about reputation, and now it's time to use his reputation, why did the second brother agree to join forces with King Jin, it is precisely because of the people-oriented point of the prince of Jin. Speaking of the same vassal prince, he is not helping much now, and has become a burden. If they're stuck here all the time, they'll all have to die.

The Ten Kings said: "You discuss it with the prince of Jin again, and you must not act rashly." ”

"Let my father bother, I will definitely be cautious." Yuan Zhen got up, he patted Yun Xu's shoulder and said, "Du Qianhu should stay and protect my father and brother." ”

"No, in that case, the second master will be too dangerous."

Yuan Zhen smiled: "I still have Hengshu, it's enough to take him with me." Now the rear is more important, and the soldiers under you seem to be following your commands. ”

"Two ......"

Yuan Zhen patted him on the shoulder and went out first.

"Jinshi, he's really messing around, father, won't you stop him?"

"You don't know his temper? If my blocking helps...... But I think he had a good idea. Your body is important, so it's better to give birth and raise, and it's okay to leave these things to him. He didn't do it on a whim, he dared to make this suggestion must have been considered several times, let's not worry about him for now, let's think about the road ahead. ”

Yuan Heng was worried about his younger brother on the one hand, and he was a little unwilling on the other.

"The weather seems to be nice today, I want to go down for a walk......"

Yuan Zhen called a horse when he went out of the place where he lived, and at this time night had fallen, he rode a horse to inspect the defense, and by the way took a look at the situation on the opposite side, and then went to Changxing Yamen to find Yuan Yan.

When he arrived here, Yuan Yan was eating.

"Jinshi, you came just in time, let's have a meal."

Jin Shi also sat down politely, Yuan Yan ordered someone to add a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and the two sat down to eat first and then discuss matters.

This long conversation lasted until late at night, Yuan Yan yawned and looked tired, and he said to Yuan Zhen: "Why don't you stay." ”

"I appreciate the kindness of the prince, and I still have to go back to make the final arrangements. You can also have a good night's rest until tomorrow night comes. ”

Yuan Yan nodded and agreed, and let his two personal guards send Yuan Zhen back to rest.

King Jin's reinforcements didn't know when they would arrive, and the news didn't know when it would be delivered, and their 3,000 men and horses were trapped in Changxing City and couldn't move. The army of the court on the opposite side has 10,000 horses, and the disparity in strength is huge, and they have fallen behind. If they don't find a way to break through, they will be trapped here, not only them, but also tens of thousands of people in the city.

To say that they had long expected that there would be such a day, then they had been waiting for a suitable time, and now that this time has come, what they lack now is a breakthrough, Chu Yuanzhen regards himself as a breakthrough.

When dusk fell on this day, the sunset reflected half of the sky, and Chu Yuanzhen rode a jujube horse, but saw that he was wearing indigo arrow sleeves, his hair was tied on the top of his head, and he did not wear a crown, only tied with a cloth belt. There was also a guard in the back, and that guard was not wearing armor, but was dressed in a neat caftan brown, and carried a sword at his waist. This guard is the Hengshu who accompanied Chu Yuanzhen from birth to death.

Chu Yuanzhen's eyes on horseback were resolute, and the setting sun reflected the white jade-like skin, and he raised his whip and headed towards that distant place.

A small soldier hurried towards the commander's tent.

"Hurry up and tell General Wei that the second son of King Rong's Mansion is here, saying that he is here to negotiate."

This word soon spread to the camp of the chief general, the old general Wei Gan was already over fifty years old, and at this moment he was discussing countermeasures with the adjutant generals, and he happened to hear this report and was still a little unconvinced: "Really send someone to negotiate?" ”

When Vice General Xia heard this, he laughed: "General Wei, it seems that the men and horses of the King of Jin really can't resist the majesty of our imperial army, so I will send someone to negotiate now." Are they here to make peace? I don't weigh how many pounds and taels I have, who did I send? ”

"That person claimed to be the second son of the Ten Princes' Mansion, Chu Yuanzhen."

Vice General Xia couldn't help but pout a little when he heard this: "If you want to negotiate, you have to let the prince of Jin come out, and now send a cripple to die, but there is no sincerity at all." The dishes delivered to the door don't have to be polite, how many people did the other party bring? ”

The soldier in charge of the message said: "Only one retinue was brought. ”

"Hmph, I don't know if it's stupid or bold." Na Xia Li snorted, with a look of disdain, and was about to give an order to arrest him, Wei Gan spoke at this time: "Slow, don't worry." Then he asked Xia Li, "Do you know what kind of person the second son of the Ten Princes Mansion is?" ”

"It's no wonder that Old General Wei doesn't know that you have been stationed outside all the year round, and you are not so familiar with the situation of the vassal kings in various places. Okay, I'll just say it briefly in a few words. The second son of the Ten Kings Mansion heard that he had a disability since he was a child and was a lame. At the beginning, as a hostage in Beijing, I accompanied the prince to study in the East Palace for a few years, and I heard that he was a nerd, but I had never heard of other skills. Is a disabled concubine qualified to negotiate with us? This is not a show of contempt. ”

Wei Qian hesitated for a moment, and he finally gave an order: "Since you are here, it is better to listen to what he has to say." ”

"Old general, you don't have to waste time for such a person, just tie it up and send it to the capital, why bother."

Wei Qian had his own ideas, and he passed the word down to let Chu Yuanzhen come to see him.

After a short time, the two young men walked into their camp under the escort of the soldiers, and Wei Gan paid close attention to it, and the situation seemed to be a little different from what Xia Li said.
