For Xuzhou, King Han has already coveted it.

As long as Xuzhou can be captured, the king of Han can use the geographical location of Xuzhou to attack and retreat.

In this way, a natural advantage is formed.

If this land of soldiers must be contested, if it is firmly held in the hands of the King of Han, the entire court will be flustered.

Therefore, King Han is very urgent.

However, Xie Jin has been guarding Xuzhou, and he has messed up his plans several times, making it impossible for him to attack Xuzhou at all.

Xuzhou is like a difficult bone to gnaw, so that King Han has no way to put his mouth down.

During this time, a small war broke out between him and Xuzhou I don't know how many times, but each time it was just a test of each other.

Against Shang Jiejin, the king of Han had no chance of winning.

In the past, when he was in the court, it was because Xie Jin said good things for the prince that the old man hesitated, and he still left the throne to the prince.

But if Xie Jin didn't say it, maybe the old man would keep his promise, abolish the crown prince, and give him the throne.

Back then, it was Xie Jin's obstruction, which caused King Han to miss the opportunity.

This has made the King of Han hate and understand.

And now, Xie Jin is guarding Xuzhou again, jamming the throat of the King of Han, putting the King of Han in a dilemma, making the King of Han more and more unhappy with him.

Now, there are so many widows at the customs.

Harassment is inevitable, but they must not be allowed to slow down their pace, nor can they be dragged down by the pirates.

A quick battle and a quick battle are the only way that King Han can think of.

There was some surprise in Ping Nan's eyes: "King Han, do you want to be in such a hurry?" ”

"There are more and more pirates in the customs, is it possible that we will not attack Xuzhou, but still run to suppress the bandits?"

King Han grinned and sneered: "I'm afraid that's what the imperial court thinks." ”

"But I won't let them get their wish."

Pingnan's jaw.

He felt that King Han had done the right thing.

Although the time was a bit hasty to send troops to attack Xuzhou three days later, it was a better way to attack Xuzhou than to defend against the Japanese invaders.

"King Han, I support you!" Ping Nan said in a deep voice.

"Last time, I lost Yanzhou, and this time, I am willing to charge forward for the King of Han." Ping Nan knelt down and arched his hand.

King Han smiled and helped him up from the ground: "Good brother." ”

"Let's go, go back to Qingzhou to deploy first!"

……

The Japanese at the customs forced the King of Han to start a war in advance.

However, no one has yet learned about all this.

On the Xuzhou side, many generals and officials, after learning that the Japanese were driven to Shandong Customs, breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the Han King would divide his troops to deal with the Japanese invaders.

Only Xie Jin has not slackened, and still insists on climbing the city wall every day to observe the situation outside.

And just like that, two days passed in a row.

On the third day, Xie Jin, as usual, climbed the city wall.

But the front foot had just come up, and the back foot Xie Jin heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of him.

Xie Jin walked to the city wall to take a look, and saw that outside Xuzhou City, a dense army was marching towards them.

Although the speed is not fast, there is no intention of attacking the city.

But this scene represents that the King of Han is about to launch an attack on Xuzhou.

When Xie Jin saw this scene, his pupils shrank sharply, and he immediately shouted: "Be on guard, be on guard!" ”

"All soldiers, all go to the city wall to defend against the enemy!"

"Alert!"

Xie Jin roared, and the horn soldier who heard the sound immediately blew the horn of the enemy's attack.

Whining sound.

The soldiers under the city wall, when they heard the sound of the enemy attack, quickly grabbed the weapons in their hands and rushed towards the city wall.

Xuzhou City is the barrier of the imperial court and must not be broken!

Once it is broken, the King of Han occupies Xuzhou City, and his strength will be doubled!

The soldiers desperately rushed up, and finally the city wall was full of rows of soldiers, staring at the outside of Xuzhou.

Suddenly, outside the city, the infantry charged!

Siege engines, trebuchets, red-clad cannons, all pushed forward.

The beacon is lit.

Xie Jin roared: "Release the arrow!" ”

For a moment, countless arrows fell like dense raindrops towards the outside of the city.

The war, which took months to brew, was finally the first to be started by the King of Han!

The city of Xuzhou will fall into war.

……

Capital.

These days, Zhu Zhanji and the old man have already returned to Beijing.

But on this day, there was an urgent report from Jingshi.

On Yingtianfu Street, a red silk messenger galloped on horseback.

"Urgent!"

"Urgent!"

"Eight hundred miles expedited!"

The red silk messenger went all the way unimpeded, and when he heard the emergency report, all the people on the road hurriedly gave way to each other, for fear of delaying the important affairs of the family and the country.

At the same time, this urgent report also worried many people in Yingtianfu.

I don't know what kind of moth Daming is going to come out of again.

The red silk messenger rode all the way into the palace until he came to the emperor's imperial study, and then stopped.

knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, Xuzhou urgent!" ”

Xuzhou urgent?

Hearing the news, the obese prince took the lead in walking out of the imperial study.

This was followed by several civil ministers.

They all followed behind the prince and hurriedly walked in front of the red silk messenger.

"What's wrong with Xuzhou?" The crown prince asked in a hurry.

The red silk messenger said in a deep voice: "King Han...... An attack on Xuzhou was launched. ”

"This is a military newspaper, please read it carefully."

With that, he took out the military report in his arms and handed it to the adults.

The prince took the lead in taking it, and after reading it, he sighed in his heart.

Several other civil officials also circulated it, and after reading it, their faces were not very good-looking.

"King Han, after all, we still attacked." Xia Yuanji sighed: "The country is going to burn money to fight again." ”

When it comes to money, Xia Yuanji is the most sensitive.

Yang Shiqi touched the two beards that had just grown, and his face sank like water: "I hope Master Xie can carry it." ”

Jian Yi said solemnly: "Is there enough grain and grass in Xuzhou, do you need supplies from the imperial court?" ”

The red silk messenger shook his head: "I don't know, Master Xie didn't say it." ”

The civil servants were silent.

They glanced at each other, and there was a hint of worry in their eyes.

Everyone knows that the King of Han is a strong man in war, and they don't know if Xie Jin can defend Xuzhou City.

If it can't be defended, half of the court will be broken by the King of Han.

The crown prince instructed the red silk messenger: "In this way, you go back and tell Master Xie that he lacks something, even if you send someone back to the imperial court, tell the imperial court, and the imperial court will do its best to help." ”

The Red Silk Messenger said gratefully, "Yes! ”

Since ancient times, if the imperial court and the front line are united, they will naturally be able to do a great job.

However, the most feared thing on the front line is that the imperial court does not support the front line, which will lead to the front line not being supplied and will suffer defeat.

And the prince's words are obviously unconditional support for the front line.

"Go ahead, you can send the news to the major princes and tell them." The crown prince paused and said.

Then he sent another eunuch and commanded, "Come, take him with you." ”

The eunuch immediately left with the red silk messenger.

The rest is the crown prince and a few ministers.

Standing at the door of the imperial study, the prince took a deep breath: "Always pay attention to the situation in Xuzhou Mansion, and you can't let Xuzhou Mansion be broken by King Han." ”

"Yes." Yang Shiqi said.

Xia Yuanji and Jian Yi also nodded solemnly.
