Chapter 302: Transfer of Families

Without saying anything all the way, the four of Geng Zhi followed the leader and galloped all the way to the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, the eldest prince was already sitting on the throne and waiting, of course, he was still a little excited in his heart. If the other party is not a fraudulent surrender, then not only can he relieve himself from being besieged, but he can also add hundreds of thousands of troops for no reason.

This is important to the Great Prince, because only by holding the military power in his own hands can he effectively contain Wynn's attack and fight back.

"The four of you wait for the time being, I'll go in and report!"

The leader of the regiment turned around and said a word, and then dismounted and walked directly to the house.

And Geng Zhi and the four of them also dismounted directly and brushed the horses on the tethered horses not far away.

In a moment, the leading regimental leader walked out again.

"You four come to me!"

The leading regiment commander spoke, turned around and walked inside, Geng Zhi followed closely with a head wrapped in cloth in one hand, and the remaining three regiment commanders followed Geng Zhi in.

"Newspaper... The enemy envoy is until!"

The guards guarding the door didn't know how to report, so they had to say a word to the envoy, which could be regarded as saving face for the other party.

"Xuan..."

At this time, the eldest prince sat upright and said casually.

"Announce that the enemy army will make an audience with the ministers. ”

"Subordinates see the emperor" Geng Zhi and the four walked into the hall, knelt on one knee, and saluted with fists.

"Excuse me, I don't know what you are?"

At this time, the eldest prince still wanted to pretend to be confused, and he must have brought up this matter from the other party, and it was better to pretend that he didn't know.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates are Geng Zhi, the commander of the First Regiment of the First Legion, and the three behind me are also the commanders of the First Legion. ”

At this time, Geng Zhi stood under the hall respectfully, but the head of the package was placed on the ground at this time, and the four of them were nervous at this time.

"Oh, is it the four of you?"

The eldest prince was obviously stunned, according to the other party's tone, it was the four of them who came to take refuge, so this made him happy in vain.

"Your Majesty misunderstood, this rebellion was made by the collective commander of our First Legion, and we killed the commander-in-chief Gou Jian in the early hours of the morning. ”

At this time, Geng Zhina didn't know what the eldest prince meant, and the eldest prince now cared about the army, not so many people. In other words, you have come with a large army, and I welcome you.

But if you're just taking refuge on your own, then I'm sorry, maybe I'm not so enthusiastic.

After Geng Zhi finished speaking, he bent down and untied the cloth clothes that were placed on the human head on the ground, revealing Gou Jian's human head, but the human head at this time was more hideous and looked a little scary.

The eldest prince got up and walked a few steps, stepped forward to take a look, and it was really Gou Jian's head.

"Haha... Good... All of you are welcome to join us. I wonder when this army will enter the city?"

After careful observation, the eldest prince determined that it was really Gou Jian's head, since the other party killed the general who led the army, needless to say, he also knew that it could not be a fraudulent surrender.

If a general who commands the army is sacrificed in order to surrender by deception, then it can only be said that the other party is too black-hearted and will do whatever it takes to achieve the goal.

"This..."

Hearing the question of the eldest prince, Geng Zhi's words were not spoken!

"Hmm? Is it so hard that you are playing tricks on me? If you are sincerely surrendering, why are you unwilling to lead a large army into the city? Are you surrendering by fraud?"

When the eldest prince heard that the other party had the intention of refusing, he immediately exploded.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty misunderstood, it's not that we are unwilling to lead the army into the city, it's just that the family of our regiment commanders is all in the imperial capital! ”

"Then I'm afraid that the wives and children of our people will be slaughtered by Emperor Wynn, so my subordinates still hope that Your Majesty can try to save my family members. ”

"We don't want to be able to transport them out of the city, as long as we can be secretly resettled and not killed!" At this time, Geng Zhi also had to have the courage to put forward his request.

As Geng Zhi's words fell, the hall fell silent, and the eldest prince did not give an accurate answer for a while, but was thinking, because this request was not an unreasonable request.

Fundamentally speaking, such a request should be agreed to happily, so that the other party's family members are in their own hands.

But if you want to rescue the families of these people, some of the backhands you have arranged may have to be exposed, and now the eldest prince is carefully reviewing the pros and cons of the beam, this is a difficult choice.

In the middle of the sound, the eldest prince said leisurely, "How many people are there in all your family members combined?"

This point is very puzzled by the prince now, if there are too many, although the imperial capital is big, but if you want to hide it all, I'm afraid it's not so easy, it must be that the imperial capital is still in the hands of Wynn.

As long as he gives an order and locks down the city and arrests him, as long as he doesn't leave the imperial capital, he will still be caught sooner or later. So the number of people is the key, the more people the more troublesome.

"This... Your Majesty's atonement, we haven't counted it yet, but we decided not to leave the camp for the time being, and buffer for a few days, because it was normal to attack for three days in a row before, and it is normal to rest for a few days. ”

"I'm arranging for someone to write a letter to Emperor Wynn, asking for some grain, grass, military salaries, etc., and by the way, I'm explaining, so that it can be delayed for a few days. ”

Geng Zhi can be regarded as a free man, and the family members of the more than a dozen regiment leaders must not be a minority, and Geng Zhi understands this in his heart, that one regiment leader's family is not considered a slave family.

Just counting the wives and children, there are also five or six people, and these dozen people are nearly a hundred, and now that the north city gate has been closed, it is still quite troublesome to send these people out through the other three gates after being checked.

"Hmm... Okay, the emperor promised you that I would save your wives and children as much as possible, but you need to repair one book for each of you, so that my people can contact your respective families so that they will not be misunderstood. ”

"Thank you, thank you, Your Majesty!"

At this time, Geng Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as his wife and children could be rescued here, he could be regarded as having no worries.

Things went very smoothly, Geng Zhi went back and said, each regiment commander repaired a book, stamped his own regiment commander's seal, and then handed it to Geng Zhi, Geng Zhi put on makeup, and once again lurked into the city.

This time, Geng Zhi brought not only a letter from home, but also a list that needed to be transferred.

Geng Zhi also explained the situation in detail when he went back, and asked for as few people as possible to be transferred. Transferring too many family members at this time is counterproductive, and once discovered, it may affect everyone.

So this streamlined list was handed over to the eldest prince, but the eldest prince saw the dense words on it, not to mention that there were fifty or sixty people.

However, there are still a few days to deal with, and although there are a lot of people, they should still be able to be transferred.

Then the eldest prince no longer procrastinated, and the time was limited, so he ordered a personal Xiao Si, with his own tokens and letters, to sneak into the imperial capital in makeup, ready to rescue the families of these regiment leaders.

According to the plan designated by the eldest prince, all the family members who should be rescued can't all come out at once, and they will be batched in batches, so the first to come out are the wives and children, because it is easier to dress up.

On the one hand, the soldiers will not have strict inspections on children, and the women can come out with a casual makeup, saying that they are servants, civilians, or other followers, caravans, etc.

The Imperial Capital has already started a secret transfer without the knowledge of Emperor Wynn, and things are going smoothly so far.

The border guards rested for a day, and early the next morning, a soldier rode a fast horse and went straight to the palace, of course, the soldier did not go to report the mutiny, and of course he could not enter the palace.

So he only ran to the north gate, and was ordered to stop, and the soldiers were not angry, and pretended to report that there was an urgent battle report ahead that needed to be beaten to the emperor, so they hoped to open the door.

But the gate was opened, but the soldiers were not allowed to enter, but they were told to hand over the letters, and they were sent away.

After the soldier who delivered the letter turned his horse's head and walked away, he took a deep breath and calmed down, feeling glad that he had not allowed himself to go in and report to his face. Otherwise, it would have to be exposed.

The soldiers here did not dare to delay when they received the letter, and rode directly on fast horses and ran all the way to the palace, and then handed it over to the guards of the palace.

Soon this letter was handed over to the prince of Wynn, the letter was very simple, only stating that he had been injured a little in the process of the assault, and that the sergeant was physically and mentally exhausted after many days of continuous assault.

In addition, there is not much left in the grain and grass salary, I hope that the imperial capital will be supplemented, and swear that the other party is no longer able to defend the city, and the sergeants here will rest for a few days, and the emperor will be rewarding to boost morale, and the Acropolis will be taken on the 2nd.

After reading Gou Jian's letter, Prince Wynn was still quite happy, of course, for the different handwriting, Emperor Wynn did not pay too much attention, because the letter stated that he had been injured.

Coupled with the two big seals at the end of the letter, Prince Wynn did not doubt him, and when he saw that the letter said that the city would be broken in a few days, he slapped his hands and laughed, and praised Gou Jian a few words.

Then he immediately replied to Gou Jian with a letter, the content was very simple, on the one hand, he asked Gou Jian to pay attention to safety, and there was no need to go into battle to attack the city in person, and secondly, he said some morale-boosting words.

Of course, along with the letter, the army was accompanied by three months' food and grass salaries, as well as additional money and wine, which were counted as rewards.

When Geng Zhi saw Emperor Wynn's reply, he suddenly had a settlement in his heart, and did not ask for a siege as soon as possible, so he would have more time to transfer his family here.

Geng Zhi's side did not move, but the eldest prince was secretly arranging the transfer of personnel, for 3 consecutive days, from opening the city gate in the early morning to closing the city gate at night, and continuously transporting those on the list out.

As for not being able to return to the Acropolis yet, this is not a problem, as long as you leave the imperial capital and find a random city to settle down and hide, there will be no problem.

Secondly, the eldest prince was also afraid that if these people received the Acropolis, if the first army surrendered by fraud and directly threw down the troops and robbed them, he really had no way to take the other party.

And now that they are all scattered, this first legion is the fish on the chopping board, allowing themselves to be slaughtered, which is the fundamental reason why the eldest prince does not bring people back.
