The appearance of Zhao Gou did not change the pessimism of Gao Shiyou and Liu Yu.

The great painter just sells his son, and King Kang is not a favored one, everyone knows that he is just a dispensable son of the great painter, and it is very cost-effective to send them to coax them to resist with the discipline of the great painter.

That's a ruthless person who can even sell King Yun in a hurry!

King Kang is a fart!

Of course, this is exactly what happened......

"The king doesn't need to worry, this daimyo's mansion has a population of millions and a mountain of food, as long as we and the rest of the people stick to it, when the demon soldiers suffer heavy losses under the fortified city, the loyalty and righteousness of all parts of the country will naturally swarm up, and when the time comes, the army of the emperor will go north and sweep the world is just around the corner."

On the streets of the Daimyo's Mansion, Zhang Jun said with great ambition.

Zhao Gou is a victim of the great painter, what 200,000 troops are about to go north, these are all lies, the great painter is not a fool, how can it be that Zhang Jun went north at this time, let Zhang Jun send an envoy just to let him coax the officials and gentry in Hebei and Wang Yue to work hard. But he also knows that these people are also not stupid, and they will not believe him just because of a promise, and no one will believe in his promise for a long time, so he can only send Zhao Gou as a hostage, after all, he sent his son to live and die with the loyal ministers and righteous men of Hebei, what else can the latter question?

However, whether the army of the great painters will go north depends on the next battle situation.

The Hebei gentry were able to block Wang Yue and even inflict heavy damage on Wang Yue, so of course he didn't mind picking fruits.

But if the Hebei gentry were beaten by Wang Yue......

Well, he'll watch the beauties dance in Zhenjiang and write poems to commemorate them.

Zhang Jun is very clear about this, Zhao Gou is also very clear, and it is estimated that Liu Yu and others are also very clear, but the problem now is that even if everyone knows it, they must pretend not to know, and then act together in a play that pretends to believe that the 200,000 army of the great painter will really go north......

How else?

Abandon the city and flee?

Gao Shiyou and others are reluctant!

If they had been willing, they would have already run away by this time.

Zhang Jun, who is full of ambition to hoe and rape for the country, is reluctant to give up this opportunity to finally have someone to fight Wang Yue!

Ever since he saw the thief driving his henchmen to slaughter the students in Yingtian, Zhang Jun was determined to get rid of this evil for the world.

But it's a pity that in the past two years, I can only sit back in the south and watch this evil become more and more rampant.

The emperor of the capital became his puppet, the generals of the western army became his accomplices, the officials and gentry in the north were timid and cowardly and did not dare to confront it, the emperor and a group of civil and military who fled south only knew that they were reluctant and secretly safe, and they were looking for fun in Zhenjiang every day but did not dare to cross the Huai River to the north to attack the Central Plains, he was really about to endure it. At this time, the officials and gentry of Hebei finally stood up bravely, he was really ecstatic, and he thought that he could rely on these loyal ministers and righteous men to open the curtain of loyalty and righteousness in the world.

But I didn't expect that demon to play such a trick.

In the blink of an eye, the loyal ministers and righteous men of Hebei were coerced by him and forced to the point of desperation.

If the resistance in Hebei fails like this this time, then no one in the north will dare to confront it again.

There really isn't any.

After the loyalists of Hebei fell, Wang Yue coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes to command hundreds of thousands of troops in Henan and Hebei to push from north to south, and the rest can only be the pattern of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, even if it is the best result.

So this is the only chance.

And Zhao Gou is reluctant to this up-and-coming opportunity, he invited himself to go north this time, as the most inconspicuous of the sons of the great painter, he has always been eager to have the opportunity to grasp power, this time he went north to gain the support of the Hebei gentry, fantasizing that he can be the spokesperson of the great painter, and create a career in Hebei and even become an heir.

If the great painter can recapture Kaifeng, his eldest brother will definitely drink poisoned wine.

Zhao Kai is also finished.

The great painter must choose a new heir.

At that time, he had already been supported by Hebei Zhongyi, and he really controlled the army in his hands, and he would force his father to make him the prince, and his father could not have any other choice, this was Zhao Gou's dream, which was also the reason why he ventured north, but unfortunately, after knowing how Wang Yue solved Zhending's resistance, this dream has become a nightmare.

This is a sure defeat!

Zhan Du's strength there is much stronger than that of the Daimyo's Mansion, and Zhan Du himself is obviously more talented than Gao Shiyou's waste, so he was still killed by Wang Yue in the blink of an eye, so now he has annexed the 50,000 troops of Zhan Du's subordinates, and Wang Yue, who has been supported by the people of Hebei, is afraid that opening the Daimyo is a drum. This is to come to Hebei to integrate loyal ministers and righteous soldiers, it is completely self-killing, in fact, at this time Zhao Gou already wanted to run, but Zhang Jun didn't do it.

"I hope so!"

Zhao Gou sat on horseback and looked gloomily at the bustling city in front of him.

Because there were too many fleeing gentry gathered, the Daimyo Mansion City was also overcrowded at this time, but it cheapened those merchants, after all, these fleeing gentry had a high spending power, so it formed a special prosperity, just like Chongqing during the Anti-Japanese War. Coupled with the fact that the army has swelled to more than 50,000, including some reinforcements from the two roads of Jingdong, the entire Daimyo Mansion City currently has gathered more than one million people, which means that the city is large enough to accommodate it.

But there is no shortage of food.

As the general logistics base of the whole Hebei, there is no less grain than Kaifeng all the year round, there are a large number of government reserves in the city, and the three major animal husbandry supervisors outside the city are grazing countless cattle and sheep.

More than a million people will not starve to death for at least a year.

This is the advantage of the city being big enough, the forty-eight miles of circumference of the city wall, slightly larger than the inner city of Beijing in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no huge imperial city, the imperial city of the Daimyo Mansion is very small, the circumference is only three miles, not as big as the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty. This huge city has more space than Kaifeng City to accommodate the army, civilians and various government warehouses, and the whole is a fortress that exists for long-term entrenchment......

That's what it does.

The significance of the existence of the famous city is that after most of Hebei fell, it served as the last support of the Great Song Dynasty in Hebei.

It's just that the diversion of the Yellow River has changed everything.

Originally, the Yellow River was on its east side, and the Yongji Canal passed through it, but after the Yellow River was diverted, it became to go to the west of it, and it was not necessary to go to the Daimyo Mansion to cross the Yellow River.

"The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the backyard flowers across the river!"

Zhang Jun sighed.

On the restaurant on the side of the road, the sound of silk and bamboo is constantly heard.

At this moment, a window above their heads suddenly opened, and then one of them was about to open the window, but he accidentally dropped the fork rod and smashed it on Zhao Gou's head.

Zhao Gou raised his head with a calm face, and an old face appeared in his field of vision......

"King Kang?"

The latter exclaimed.

Zhang Jun also raised his head immediately......

"Ting Jungong?"

He said stunned.

Well, this is Wang Boyan, the governor of Xiangzhou, who fled.

Lao Wang then walked out of the restaurant, and not only him, but also Liang Yangzu and Zhang Yiqian of Zhixinde Mansion with him, these exiled officials will definitely not be able to go to the capital now, and they fled south just in time for the winter without a boat, and Wang Yue's minions control the southern communication line, they are also afraid of being caught, so they all gather in the Daimyo Mansion to drink every day to relieve boredom.

They are basically all bare-knee, that is, they have some family members and daughters, and Liu Yu and the others have no time to care about them.

They had no soldiers, horses, money, and food.

It's just an idle eater, who is interested in caring about them.

The appearance of Zhao Gou and Zhang Jun surprised them a little, and a group of people hurriedly went upstairs again, and while drinking Zhang Jun talked about the 200,000 army, everyone was also very perfunctory and excited, they are all old fritters, which one here also knows the details of the great painters, just listen to this kind of thing. Then the rest was to scold Wang Yue together, for this they were all full of energy, together they angrily reprimanded this thief, and wrote some poems that worried about the country and the people, which made the atmosphere much warmer all of a sudden.

At this moment, another person hurriedly walked upstairs, and when he saw Zhao Gou and Zhang Jun, he was immediately stunned......

"King, as soon as the king comes, the people of Hebei will have a lord!"

He pounced on Zhao Gou excitedly.

"Mao He Gong still stood up to fight with the rebels when the thieves were rampant, and he was really a loyal minister!"

Zhao Gou helped him and said.

Well, this is Huang Shanqian, the governor of Zhaozhou.

"It's a pity that the traitor is still rampant, but we can only sit back here and watch it poison Hebei!"

Liang Yangzu sighed.

"My lord, my lords, I have found someone to deal with the traitor!"

Huang Shanqian, who was still pulling and pulling with Zhao Go, said excitedly.

Belch?!

Everyone was stunned.

"Is Mao Hegong serious?"

Zhang Jun said excitedly.

"Really, that traitor is nothing more than a powerful demon, so his henchmen know that they will win if they follow him, whether it is his subordinates who are rebels, or those ignorant people, in the final analysis, if someone can defeat this rebel with a spell, his henchmen will naturally collapse. And the people in the city are unstable, in the final analysis, those Diao people who are singing outside and opening the city gate to welcome him are really not afraid of the laws of the court? It's nothing more than knowing that his demon magic is powerful, as long as he comes, he will definitely break the Daimyo, and he will win with him, if he can be defeated by spells, then who would dare to follow him to make trouble? ”

Huang Shanqian said.

"Everyone knows this, but who can defeat him with a spell?"

Wang Boyan said.

Of course, everyone understands this, the last time in Kaifeng, the great painter used to find those Taoist priests, masters, and even strange people in the rivers and lakes, trying to find a person who really knows magic and can deal with Wang Yue, but unfortunately none of those guys dared to take this job......

After all, Wang Yue really knows how to demons!

No matter which strange person sees the scene of him slashing people with a giant knife, he will not hesitate to choose to avoid contact with it, everyone is nothing more than a mouthful of food, and they all know that they are fine, this is a real demon!

"Brother Tingjun, but there is one here."

Huang Shanqian said with a smile.
