Wen Tiren was shocked.

In fact, his estimate was fifteen thousand soldiers and horses, and there could be seven or eight thousand men.

Where do you know...... There were only three thousand.

And when he entered the city, he had seen the soldiers and horses, and at a glance there were many old, weak, sick and disabled.

At this moment, he stared at Wang Wenzhi, his face was extremely solemn.

Wang Wenzhi smiled bitterly and said, "There are more than seventy horses." ”

"More than seventy? Aren't there six hundred horses? ”

Faced with the teacher's doubts, Wang Wenzhi stubbornly said: "What can't be fed doesn't have so much feed." So...... So...... Sold. ”

Wen Tiren almost choked.

He stared at Wang Wenzhi with a look of hatred that iron could not become steel, and said, "Didn't you allocate money and food?" What about feed? ”

Wang Wenzhi smiled bitterly again, he pondered for a moment and said: "I bought calligraphy and paintings for my teacher, and besides that...... And some more...... Ice ...... that you need on weekdays Not to mention, the commander, the acquaintance, the secretary and so on...... I also need to support my family. ”

Wen Tiren sat down on the chair dejectedly, and he muttered: "Okay, okay, in this way, the thief outside is like fire, what should I do, what should I do?" ”

He asked the two of them how to do it, but Wang Wenzhi only bowed his head and said nothing.

"Can you be the enemy?" Wen Tiren stared at Wang Wenzhi.

Wang Wenzhi said: "Rest assured, the enfu is just a rogue, and you only need to face the head...... You can ......"

Wen Tiren looked at him sharply and said, "If the old man asks you, you will tell the truth." ”

Wang Wenzhi paused for a while, and finally said: "The students don't know the bottom of their hearts, suddenly someone attacked the city, so it is very likely that the leader of the team this time is the giant Zhang San'er, I heard that this Zhang San'er is the righteous son of the king, wreaking havoc in Henan, once he enters the city, he will search the rich households and gentry in the city to kill." A few days ago, he broke Jianping and killed thousands of people, the worst of which was Liu Wenjian, a local gentry, with a family of more than 300 people, and no chickens and dogs were left. ”

Wen Tiren shivered directly.

He pointed at Wang Wenzhi with his hand, and said angrily: "You, you, although you understand the world and know the world, but ...... This time, you're in trouble. ”

"Enfu, the student is guilty of death."

Although Wen Tiren scolded him, after all, this person is his own student, and the teacher and student are one, once Wang Wenzhi is exposed, then he, the teacher who has always supported Wang Wenzhi, will have a good life in this Guide Mansion.

Wen Tiren leaned on the handle of the chair irritably, not saying a word, as if thinking about something.

Wang Wenzhi saw that his teacher was silent, and thought for a while and said, "Why don't I go to King Xin and discuss with King Xin about defending the city?" ”

Wen Tiren shook his head without thinking about it and said: "No, His Royal Highness King Xin is complacent at this time, if you seem to be bottomless, with the character of King Xin, you will inevitably be investigated, and at that time...... How to cover up? ”

After Wang Wenzhi heard this, he bowed his head and stopped talking.

Wen Tiren sighed and said, "Let's take a step and see a step first." ”

In fact, the Guide Mansion is quite stable, and there is no chaos caused by the rumors of a rogue attack.

Many of the scholars and gentry who moved here had great confidence in Wang Wenzhi.

Therefore, the streets and alleys are still singing and dancing.

It's just that Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, stayed up all night, and he reviewed the music overnight, and he hadn't closed his eyes for eleven hours.

Princess Xin Zhou sent someone to ask him to rest.

He just shook his head and said to Wang Chengen beside him: "The lonely king is entangled in everything right now, go and tell the princess that the lonely king is still in good spirits." ”

I ate a bowl of brown rice porridge early in the morning and exhaled.

He is now worried about money and food, the soldiers are going to fight, and the big war is imminent, but there is really no rice to cook.

Without money and food, how can the soldiers fight to the death?

Putting down the pen, Zhu Youzhen instructed Wang Chengen: "Have you arrived?" ”

"It's all here, just waiting outside the palace."

"Invite them in." Zhu Youzhen's face was calm.

Immediately, dozens of civil and military officers rushed in, and everyone saluted Zhu Youzhen under the leadership of Wen Tiren.

Zhu Youzhen showed a gentle smile, at the moment, these people are all well-known figures in the world, virtuous ministers and loyal generals, all of them are under the door of him, the prince.

He said with a pleasant face: "You don't have to be polite. ”

So everyone said, "Your Highness is polite." ”

Zhu Youzhen invited everyone to sit down, and then smiled: "Have the rogues arrived?" ”

At this time, Wang Wenzhi stood up and said: "Your Highness, there have been sporadic rogues outside the city, I am afraid that soon, the follow-up people will arrive, Your Majesty is ordered to guard the city, please rest assured, this city is solid, unless the gods descend from the sky, it will never be shaken." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Ziyan has worked hard." ”

As he spoke, someone on the side smiled and said: "With Ziyan, I won't have to worry about waiting, yesterday the students were still joking with a few friends, all saying that Ziyan can defeat the enemy in a few days." ”

Everyone laughed, and even Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but laugh.

In Guide Mansion, Zhu Youzhen discussed matters with the civil and military personnel, which was often more relaxed and casual.

Zhu Youzhen enjoyed such an atmosphere.

But today......

Zhu Youzhen changed his words and said: "Now that the money and grain in the treasury have run out, the lonely king is here...... has also smashed the pot and sold iron, not afraid of the jokes of the king, the lone king can't take out a tael of silver now, but now the defense of the city is important, the lone king thought twice, and felt that it was urgent to raise a sum of money and food...... If you can be generous and donate, then it would be very good. ”

Zhu Youzhen thought about it all night, and seemed to feel that it was the only way to do it now.

Donate money.

Everyone has made a little effort to overcome the difficulties in front of us.

In the future, when the army recovers the entire Henan political envoy, are you still afraid that the financial problems will not be alleviated?

He smiled and looked at the crowd.

But...... The atmosphere suddenly became eerie.

Originally, according to Zhu Youzhen's meaning, these ministers of the humerus around them donated a little first, and they set an example, and the gentry were willing to donate generously.

It's just that......

There was a long silence.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but say: "Why, why didn't Zhu Qing say anything?" ”

Everyone obviously lost the ease of the party, and some people bowed their heads and remained silent.

Some people close their eyes and pretend to sleep.

Zhu Youzhen looked a little helpless, so he had to look at Wen Tiren first, and said, "Wen Qing's family, you are a long history, why don't you set an example." ”

Wen Tiren's body trembled slightly, and then he stood up slowly, saluted, and said, "Your Highness, the courtier's family is poor, there are too many clansmen in the family, and life is already extremely difficult. ”

Zhu You listened, and his face turned red.

It was only then that he realized that people seemed reluctant to donate, which was different from what he had imagined at first.

So he had no choice but to look at the others, but his gaze swept over, and everyone lowered their heads and didn't dare to look directly, obviously dodging.

At this point, if you continue to call for borrowing, it will obviously be even more embarrassing.

Zhu Youzhen had no choice but to sigh and said, "The Lone King knows." ”

As a result, the monarchs and ministers fell into a deathly embarrassing situation, and they were quiet for a long time.

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "The Lone King still has a lot of reports to deal with, so let's do our own thing." ”

Only then did the civil and military officers breathe a sigh of relief and each got up to say goodbye.

Wen Tiren frowned and walked out of the palace with everyone.

Wang Wenzhi had already caught up and said in a low voice: "Enfu ......"

"Hmm......"

Wang Wenzhi: "Today, His Royal Highness is urging to borrow money, which makes students very worried. ”

"Worry about what."

Wang Wenzhi said: "It seems that there is really no grain in this mansion, but ...... The soldiers below...... But they are still waiting for the salary, if they can't pay the salary, they can't rely on it, it's the students, I'm afraid they can't control it, and if they mutiny......"

"That's enough." Wen Tiren was in a very bad mood, and he couldn't help but lose his temper at this time.

Wen Tiren snorted coldly, and Wang Wenzhi was silent.

Wen Tiren thought about it and couldn't help but sigh: "Even King Xin can't rule the world, it seems that this Ming Dynasty's qi is really exhausted." ”

Speaking of this, Wen Tiren said: "You must tell the truth to the old man, there is no money and food, this city is ...... Can it still be held? ”

"Does Enfu really want students to tell the truth?"

Wen Tiren looked at Wang Wenzhi fixedly and nodded.

Wang Wenzhi: "If you have money and food, you may not be able to keep it, let alone if you don't have money and food?" Now the military heart is ...... It is very unstable, and there are many soldiers who are talking in private...... It's better to go to the thief......"

Wen Tiren was shocked: "These soldiers, didn't you mean...... They have been indoctrinated, and they are all brave and faithful......"

Wang Wenzhi showed a look of disdain, and couldn't help but say: "Qiu Ba is stubborn, how can they be educated." ”

Wen Tiren bowed his head and remained silent, he pondered, and then said, "You tell the truth again......"

Wen Tiren was afraid of being deceived by Wang Wenzhi.

"That giant Zhang San'er, once he enters the city, will he be a real chicken and dog?"

"Not necessarily." Wang Wenzhi said in a low voice: "If you are willing to surrender, maybe you can leave your life, but ...... How can we be thieves and die. ”

Wen Tiren glanced at Wang Wenyi meaningfully: "But it may not be, a gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall......"

Wang Wenzhi's body was shocked, his eyes widened a little, and he looked at Wen Tiren and said: "The meaning of Enfu is ......."

"You send a trustworthy person to see Zhang San and see what he has to say."

Wang Wenzhi showed hesitation, but also nodded.

The family is in the city, and if a person dies, there is nothing left.

"This matter must be kept secret, and the time comes...... I'll wait for the army to enter the city, hey......"

Wen Tiren sighed, and continued: "If it is not a last resort, who would want to do this!" It's just that the thieves are murderous, and for the sake of the soldiers and civilians in this city, we have no choice but to be sinners for the ages. ”

Wang Wenzhi comforted Wen Tiren: "Enfu doesn't have to blame itself so much, the so-called good birds choose trees to perch, and now in order to protect the people in the city, Enfu is a loss of integrity, but it is also flawed, although a giant like Zhang San is murderous, he will not kill if he wants to come, otherwise how will they deceive the city in the future." ”

Wang Wenzhi couldn't bear to do this, but it can be seen that his teachers are willing to do this, and his conscience is also relaxed, and he can't help but sigh a long sigh.

Eventually...... I still can't die.
