Chapter 636: Mengzhou City Crisis
"But I don't think he necessarily already knows that you are on the side of the Eighth Prince, after all, when we talk about this, we can be sure that there is no one around."
"So he should just be guessing, with the idea that he would rather kill the wrong one than the wrong thousand, so don't worry too much."
Yun Xiaoshuang knew what he was worried about, and once King Hecheng confirmed that he was on the side of the Eighth Prince, then basically the ambitious prince would know.
At that time, he will become a thorn in the side of these princes, and if he eats it quickly, it will be very dangerous at that time.
Moreover, Mengzhou City is very prosperous, with countless money and food, strong soldiers and strong horses, and there is a general like Zhang Chi who is very good at governing the army, which is even more fearful.
However, she thinks that this worry is unnecessary, and King Hecheng should just guess, so she will not spread the news.
After all, King Hecheng is now on the face and has the intention of rebelling, so he still has to pretend.
Hearing her words, Zhang Ji nodded secretly, feeling that what she said made sense, if this was the case, then there would be no more to spread something on his side.
"The City Lord's Mansion has been destroyed now, and the most important thing for you now is to appease the people of Mengzhou City first, and then rebuild the City Lord's Mansion."
"However, King Hecheng will not give up so easily, so he still has to be careful and arrange the garrison of Fushou Mountain around Mengzhou City, so that Mengzhou City can be better rescued."
Yun Xiaoshuang thought about it and arranged a sentence, although Zhang Ji may not have thought of these things, she still has to remind them.
Now is not the time to take things lightly, you have to be careful in everything, so it's a good thing to remind you more.
Zhang Ji nodded hurriedly, he also thought of all this, for the sake of his own life, he also had to arrange everything.
After discussing it, she took Li Zhu back to the restaurant, anyway, the next thing has nothing to do with her, Zhang Ji can do it himself.
After a busy night's work, she was indeed too tired to do so, so she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Before she knew it, a week had passed, and nothing had happened in the past seven days, and she was busy with the affairs of the money bank every day.
And the rebuilding of the City Lord's Mansion is also on the agenda, fortunately, there are many people in Mengzhou City, and it is not so difficult to re-establish the City Lord's Mansion, and most of the seven days have been done.
And on this day, the people from the capital also arrived in Mengzhou City, this person was picked up by Murong Ye, and there is no need to worry about loyalty.
And this person is also very talented in business, and Yun Xiaoshuang has personally inspected it, so he decided to let him come over.
After the people arrived, the Qilin Money Village also opened directly, and it attracted a lot of people on the same day, after all, it was the name of the Eighth Prince, and everyone was very curious.
And seeing the magnificence of Qianzhuang, the people were also very surprised, such a front window can make people trust.
At this time, Zhang Ji came to her side, "I received the news that Jiangzhou is in rebellion, and King Hecheng himself is now too busy to take care of himself." ”
"It's really fake, don't be fake news from Jiangzhou."
Yun Xiaoshuang was a little surprised, Jiangzhou did always have many rebellions, but after King Hecheng arrived, there were few rebellions.
Although King Hecheng is a person who will not be forbearant and impulsive, he is still very capable, and as soon as he arrived in Jiangzhou, he suppressed all rebellions.
So she suspected that it was fake news released by King Hecheng, the purpose of which was to make many people who were staring at him let down their guard, and he would do it.
"I don't know about this, and I suspect that this is the case, so the capital is not moving, and it seems that the emperor is not in a hurry to do it."
Zhang Ji nodded, he thought so too, so Mengzhou should be more careful here, maybe when King Cheng's people came over again.
The excitement of the opening lasted until the evening, and the tired Yun Xiaoshuang was about to fall apart, and she still underestimated the enthusiasm of the people of Mengzhou.
However, the penny bank has been successfully opened, which can be regarded as a matter of her heart, and now it is just a matter of running the penny bank well.
In the wee hours of the morning, she was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard the sound of killing outside, and it was completely different from before.
This kind of sound is very familiar to her, it is the sound of war, and she has heard too much at the border.
She reflexively got up from the bed, and listened carefully to make sure she heard correctly.
In Mengzhou City, she could actually hear the sound of fighting, which she didn't expect at all, and she hurriedly got dressed and rushed out of the room.
At this time, Murong Ye and Li Zhu also rushed out, and they were also woken up by this voice.
"Let's go, go find Zhang Ji."
Yun Xiaoshuang's face sank, and then led the two to the place where Zhang Ji lived.
At this time, Mengzhou City was in chaos, and there was already a fight outside the city, and the people in the city were naturally worried.
I don't know who the army outside is, once the army of Mengzhou City can't resist it, and the enemy army breaks through the city, I don't know what the result will be.
arrived at Zhang Ji's place of residence, but she didn't see Zhang Ji, she inquired and learned that Zhang Ji was in the garrison outside the city.
She hurriedly rode out of the city and came to the place where the garrison was, and sure enough, by this time she was already in a mess with the enemy army, and the shouts of killing and screams came and went.
And Zhang Ji rode a horse and stood behind the army to command, with a resolute look on his face.
"Master Zhang, what's going on?"
Yun Xiaoshuang hurriedly rushed over, and then asked urgently.
"It's King Hecheng's people, 30,000 troops came to attack our garrison, fortunately, a whistle found it, otherwise this time it would have suffered heavy losses."
Zhang Ji explained while commanding, because it was a sneak attack, although it was discovered in advance, the army was not fully prepared, and it was a great loss to fight like this.
"How many of us are here?"
Yun Xiaoshuang hurriedly asked.
"There are only 20,000 troops here, and some troops are stationed on the side of Fushou Mountain, but they can't catch up for a while, and in the face of the other party's 30,000 troops, they can only fight to the death."
Zhang Ji said helplessly, originally thinking that 20,000 people guarding this place would be enough.
Even if King Hecheng is arrogant, he doesn't dare to attack the city directly, it seems that he still underestimates King Hecheng.
20,000 against 30,000, it was originally a timely disadvantage, but with the addition of a sneak attack, the disadvantage is even greater, and I don't know if it can withstand this attack.
"Zhang Chi is already on his way, as long as he withstands this wave of offensive."
Zhang Ji saw her worry, and then waved his hand and said.
Yun Xiaoshuang nodded, raised her head and looked at the situation ahead, there was an open space in front of her, and there was nothing.
Fighting in the open field, you can only look at the combat effectiveness of the soldiers on both sides, fortunately, these soldiers are all trained by Zhang Chi, with the ability of Zhang Chi Zhijun, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers is very strong.
But she didn't understand very much, why King Hecheng suddenly became so anxious, before there was only news that the prince was seriously ill, although King Hecheng had been in battle, but he had not moved.
But this time he suddenly brought troops to attack Mengzhou, did he think that his strength could compete with the emperor? As long as you are not stupid, you will not think so.
So there must be a reason for King Hecheng's sudden attack, but I don't know what the reason is.
This battle was fought in the dark, but with the stubborn resistance of the Mengzhou City army, the enemy army was never allowed to enter the city.
And finally, when it was almost dawn, Zhang Chi's 20,000 reinforcements finally arrived, and the enemy could only retreat, but they were stationed 800 miles away.
Although nearly 20,000 people were killed and injured on the other side in this battle, there were also countless casualties on their side, which was a tragic victory, and they were finally relieved.
"What should we do, should we go directly to Bazhai, these people still dare to be stationed there, are they planning to fight a protracted war?"
"It shouldn't be, after all, we have our backs to Mengzhou, so we don't have to worry about supplies at all, they are from Jiangzhou, what about supplies?"
The three of them sat in the big tent, and Zhang Chi began to analyze, and in the face of the enemy army stationed the camp eight hundred miles away, he was very puzzled.
After all, they are backed by Mengzhou, and they don't worry about supply even if they fight, while the other party is from Jiangzhou and King Cheng's army, and supply is a big problem.
If they broke through Mengzhou City last night, this is understandable, after all, the money and food in Mengzhou City are enough for them to replenish military supplies, but now they don't, and they haven't left.
"Who said they were from Jiangzhou? I don't think so. ”
Yun Xiaoshuang looked at them with a serious face and said in a shocking voice.
"These people are sure to be King Hecheng's army, and there are people from the Salt Gang in the middle, where did they come from if they didn't come from Jiangzhou?"
Zhang Chi didn't understand what she meant, after all, it was already determined that it was King Hecheng's person, so it could basically be concluded that he was from Jiangzhou.
After all, King Hecheng's territory is only one Jiangzhou, and it is still the back cover that the emperor gave him a seal.
And Zhang Ji looked at her with a shocked face, as if he understood what she meant, and Yun Xiaoshuang also nodded with a smile.
"On the way from Jiangzhou to Mengzhou, we have to pass through Haizhou and Yuzhou, if this army is from Jiangzhou, it is impossible to pass through Haizhou and Yuzhou so easily."
"Haizhou is the place of the King of the North Sea, where the soldiers are strong and strong, and the King of the North Sea and the King of Hecheng have always been at odds with each other, so the King of the North Sea will not help him."
"King Chen Liuwang of Yuzhou is the younger brother of King Hecheng, and it is normal for these two guys to join forces, so if my guess is correct, Haizhou should have fallen."
"And the most likely thing for this force is that it is from Haizhou, which is the closest to Mengzhou, and there is no need to worry about supplies."
Yun Xiaoshuang began to analyze, and Zhang Chi also opened her mouth wide, after all, her analysis was very probable.
And Zhang Ji thought so too, so he showed a shocked look just now.
If King Hecheng really joined forces with King Chen Liuwang to take Haizhou and attack Mengzhou now, then it means that they are really going to rebel.
