A middle-aged man in his mid-forties immediately walked up.

"What does the prince command?"

"Go and ask the kitchen if there are any things to satisfy your hunger, and use them all to feed your brothers."

"Back to the prince's words, I just went to see the kitchen. There were only some flatbreads and steamed buns, which were ready to be sent to the barracks. ”

"Bastard, these ......"

Before King Lu's words were finished, Yu Ren had already answered. "These are good. Let's get it first! ”

The housekeeper looked at King Lu's eyes. King Lu glared at the butler. "Didn't you hear Yu Zhuangshi's words? Don't go get it yet! ”

The butler agreed, and hurried away.

After a while, plates of steamed buns and flatbread were delivered. I don't know where the housekeeper got it, and he also got some freshly fried minced meat.

Yu Ren: They had been hungry for more than a day. I haven't eaten since I was on my way last night. Seeing these things at this time, everyone couldn't help it anymore and started to do it. At this time, everyone can't care about the image, and they all grasp it directly with their hands. The butler was also clever, and he asked his men to pour a large bowl of tea for each of them. There are also many maids with large teapots waiting to add tea.

Everyone ate steamed buns with minced meat and drank water at the same time.

Yu Ren was not polite, and ate five or six steamed buns in a row before stopping. As soon as he looked up, he saw that the two sisters Ruolan Ruomei were opposite him, and they were also fierce at a steamed bun.

Ruolan saw Yu Ren looking at her, so she quickly put down her hand and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the steamed buns. And Ruomei didn't care about this, she grabbed the steamed bun with one hand, and reached into the bowl with the other hand to get the minced meat, just like eating hand-picked rice. Yu Ren couldn't help but chuckle when he saw that there were a few bits of minced meat on the corners of her mouth, like a mustache.

King Lu saw all this in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.

I saw that my brothers had almost eaten one by one. Yu Ren stood up and patted the scraps on his hands. He bowed to King Lu.

"Thank you for your hospitality, it's time for us to defend the city."

King Lu was a little surprised.

"Everyone, this, let's go! I haven't prepared any food or drinks for you yet! ”

"No need. Rajah. At the moment, the military situation is urgent. On the way here, we had already heard that the Smelling Fragrance Sect had occupied Zou and Teng counties, and their number had expanded to more than 100,000. Yanzhou City will definitely become their next target.

Our first priority now is to discuss how to defend the city. ”

When King Lu heard this, he gasped. Nodding his head again and again. "Yu Zhuangshi is right, right. I'll take you to Hanbin. ”

The two were about to leave, when they suddenly saw a man running in in a hurry.

"Report, report to the prince. The thieves of the Wenxiang Sect are rushing to Yanzhou. ”

When King Lu heard this, he stood up at once.

"How far is it from here?"

"There's still fifty miles to look like!"

"How many are there?" Yu Ren interjected.

"No less than 200,000."

When King Lu heard this, his face was as dead as ashes. I couldn't take care of Yu Ren anymore, so I got up and left.

"Where is the prince going?"

"I, I have to go. I need to get out of here! King Lu said, looking for people everywhere. Butler, butler! ”

Yu Ren looked at King Lu and knew that he had been frightened. But now he still has to rely on him to defend the city. Without the assistance of King Lu, Yanzhou City would not be able to defend it without relying on their fifty people alone. As long as the Wenxiang Sect captures Yanzhou, it will be very difficult to do. Yanzhou City is an old city and a big city. The city is high and deep, and it is close to the canal to connect the north and south. If it is occupied by the Smelling Fragrance Sect. This rebellion is really difficult to quell.

And at the moment, the army of the imperial court to suppress the rebellion has not yet set off. Yu Ren knew that his biggest task was to hold back the Wenxiang Sect and defend Yanzhou before the army arrived.

As long as he can defend until the arrival of the imperial army, this battle of counterinsurgency can be regarded as a victory. Yu Ren still sees this strategic issue very clearly. Therefore, at the moment, he must not let King Lu escape. As soon as King Lu fled, he couldn't defend this Yanzhou City.

"Lord Wang, don't panic. The thieves still have fifty miles to reach Yanzhou. There were so many of them, the march must have been slow. By the time they arrived at the city of Yanzhou, it would be two days later. We still have plenty of time. Yanzhou City is high and deep, and we still have nearly a thousand defenders, and although there are many anti-thieves, they are only a rabble.

I fought a battle with them, and we had only a hundred men, and we defeated 3,000 of them, and it was still a field battle. Those 3,000 are still said to be their elite. You can imagine their combat prowess.

Therefore, although we only have 1,000 people, as long as everyone works hard, it is not a problem to keep the month. At that time, the imperial army arrived. These thieves naturally retreated.

When King Lu heard this, he was a little skeptical. "Really, really, can you really hold on?"

"Of course, I've played against them. I know that better than anyone else. ”

King Lu hesitated for a moment, "Okay! Let's go find Hanbin right away. ”

When King Lu rushed to the general's mansion with Yu Ren, the mansion was empty. An old man in his seventies was sweeping the floor.

King Lu didn't know what was going on.

"Where's your lord?"

"My lord just heard that more than 200,000 people from the Wenxiang Sect are attacking Yanzhou, and they ran away with their men."

"What!" When King Lu heard this, he almost collapsed on the ground.

After being stunned for a while, King Lu turned around and left with the support of the guards.

Yu Ren saw that King Lu's face was ugly, and knew that something bad must happen, so he hurriedly stepped forward.

"Lord, lord, you can't go!"

King Lu hurried forward and said, "The matter has come to this, I won't leave, do you wait for those thieves to attack the city and arrest them?" ”

Yu Ren shook his head. "Not necessarily. Has the prince ever thought about it? If the prince doesn't leave, the people in the city still have some hope. Although the lord of the domain is gone, he can't take much of the team guarding the city. Let's urgently recruit some young people from among the people, and there is still great hope for defending the city.

But if the prince abandons the city like this. Yanzhou City will be lost.

Don't forget, this is your fiefdom. You abandon your fiefdom and take the initiative to flee for your life, according to the laws of our Ming Dynasty, you must be beheaded. Rather than being beheaded afterwards, it's better to fight now. If it happens, you've done a great job! ”

King Lu listened to Yu Ren's words and couldn't help but slow down. When Yu Ren finished speaking, he also stopped.

"Zhu Quan, you go back to the house immediately, and gather all the young and strong families in the mansion for me, and stand by at any time."

The butler behind King Lu agreed, and immediately bowed down.

After instructing Zhu Quan, King Lu said to Yu Ren again, "Let's go to the city and have a look." ”

Yu Ren wiped the cold sweat on his head. Fang Cai really scared him a lot. If King Lu really did not listen to persuasion, but abandoned the city and fled. Then no one will be able to control this situation. He promised Qi Shijiao that he would do it. Although he believed that the rebellion would eventually be put down. But the influence will also increase significantly. He felt that this was his dishonesty in Qi Shijiao.

Yu Ren followed King Lu to the head of the city. A dozen guards were gathering and quietly discussing something. Yu Ren couldn't help frowning when he saw that they all looked puzzled and had no intention of fighting.

"Who are you leading here?" Yu Ren asked.

A middle-aged man in his mid-thirties walked out. "I'm the chief here."

Yu Ren said to the chief, "You now leave the two of you in charge of guarding." The others went into all parts of the eastern city and gathered the other soldiers to the gates of the city. Tell them that only two people will be left to guard each district, and that all the others will gather under the city. King Lu has something to say. ”

When Nashi heard that it was the order of King Lu, he did not dare to slack off, and hurried to go.

Yu Ren accompanied King Lu to the gate of the city and waited.

After a while, soldiers from all districts arrived. Yu Ren roughly estimated that there were about two hundred people.

And they saw that all the people had arrived. Yu Ren boarded a small platform and said to everyone, "Brothers, now the Xiangxiang Sect is rebelling. The thieves have rushed to our Yanzhou City. Entrusted by King Lu, the lord of the domain had already left the city at night and asked the court for help.

Within a few days, the army would arrive. For now, we must defend the city. We must not allow the thieves to invade the city, otherwise our fathers, brothers, and sisters in the city will be destroyed by the thieves. ”

"However, I have heard that there are more than 200,000 of these rebels, and that the defenders of our whole city are only about 1,000. How to keep? Before Yu Ren finished speaking, a centurion stood up and said.
