S: I'm mistaken, Zhang Shixin is Zhang Guifei's younger brother, and the previous article has been modified, I'm sorry.

"Deceived the superiors and subordinates, disregarded people's lives, forcibly occupied people's women, deducted the food and salary of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and concealed the number of casualties in the explosion of the gunpowder factory last year... And you, as my concubine, actually bought the intelligence officer to hide it from me, if it weren't for the recent decisive battle, the firearms would not match, and I asked Jinyiwei to check, how long do you plan to hide from me..." Chu Jinnan frowned and said angrily.

Originally, the decisive battle was coming, and he didn't plan to tell Zhang Guifei about it, but the recent troubles pressed on his heart one after another, making him feel a lot of pressure, but Zhang Guifei smiled at this time to make a big deal about the prince's birthday, and completely ignored the current stormy situation, so that he couldn't help it anymore and broke out.

Zhang Guifei was so frightened that her delicate body trembled suddenly, the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground with a click, and then she knelt down and came to Chu Jinnan's side, grabbing his robe, under her eyebrows, a pair of soft and narrow eyes were filled with tears: "Your Majesty, you listen to the concubine's explanation, concubine... The concubine body just doesn't want Your Majesty you... You, the concubine is wrong, the concubine will no longer dare, I hope Your Majesty will forgive you..."

Zhang Guifei wanted to explain, but her mind turned around, and she really didn't know how to explain, so she immediately hugged Chu Jinnan and begged for forgiveness with a handful of snot and tears.

Facing Zhang Guifei's soft gaze, Chu Jinnan pushed Zhang Guifei away and said coldly: "If it weren't for the prince's sake, I would have sent you into the cold palace a long time ago, look at what the harem is like by you, except for being able to give birth to a son, how can there be a little bit compared to the queen, do you think those rumors of the abolished queen, I don't know if you made a small move?" I tell you, even if you abolish the queen, it won't be your turn..."

Chu Jinnan seemed to want to vent all the anger that had accumulated in his heart these days on Zhang Guifei.

Concubine Zhang Guifei sat paralyzed on the ground, her heart sank to the bottom, saying that she was only worthy of the queen in giving birth to a son, and she was not a queen at all, and it was more uncomfortable than killing her, the white and red jade face was almost as pale as frost, her eyes flashed with tears, and she crawled over again, hugging Chu Jinnan's thigh: "Your Majesty, the concubine knows that she is wrong, the concubine really knows that she is wrong, please ask Your Majesty to spare the concubine for the prince's sake, the concubine will not dare."

"I knew today, why bother at the beginning, do you know that in such a situation, Zhang Shixin's deduction of the food and salary of the soldiers and horses of the five cities has caused a lot of bad impact on the ministers and the army." Chu Jinnan said in a deep voice.

Concubine Zhang raised her eyes and looked at Chu Jinnan, and said, "Then the concubine asked Shixin to take out all the silver and make it back?"

"It's late, Zhang Shixin can't live, for the sake of the prince, I will punish him alone, and I won't implicate your Zhang family." Chu Jinnan had already made up his mind at this moment, and he would definitely kill Zhang Shixin in order to shock Junxin.

When Zhang Guifei heard this, her heart shook violently, tears dripped from the corners of her eyes, she spent makeup, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

It wasn't until a little eunuch came in and said, "King Qing asks to see", and Chu Jinnan left the palace, that Zhang Guifei reacted, and chased after her, begging Chu Jinnan to spare her younger brother Zhang Shixin's life.

The other side.

Yangchuan.

Chen Mo received a letter from Chu Lechan.

The letter explained that she hoped that Chen Mo could look at her face, not to cut the grass and eradicate the royal family, and it was best to save the prince's life.

Chen Mo can understand what Chu Lechan left in the letter, after all, she is the princess of Chu State, and today she is her royal brother.

In the previous relationship, Chu Lechan also talked to her about Chu Jinnan, saying that her royal brother was still good to him.

Chen Mo thought about it and replied.

OK.

In fact, in the persuasion letter of Zhenxi Hou, it was also written that as long as Chu Jinnan surrendered, not only would he not kill him, but he would also be given a fief, crowned him king, and allowed Chu Jinnan to take his concubine and son to live in this fief, and he would not be able to leave the fief in the future.

In Chen Mo's previous life, except for the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, few new dynasties would kill the emperors of the previous dynasty, not only would they not kill, but they would also treat them well.

Even those who usurped the throne will not.

Zhenxihou wrote a letter of persuasion to Chu Jinnan, and there was a response a week later.

The response was also a letter of persuasion.

The content is roughly the same as that of the Marquis of Zhenxi, as long as the Marquis of Zhenxi surrenders, the court will crown him as the king of Zhenxi and forgive his sins.

Obviously, neither side will surrender.

This battle cannot be avoided.

Mid-November.

The three armies set out from Yangchuan at the same time, and the troops approached the city of Nanyang, surrounded on all sides, preparing to fight a final battle.

According to the meaning of Zhenxi Hou, before the winter, the war will be ended.

"Whoa..."

Since the three armies set out from Yangchuan, the rain has not stopped for several days, and the rain curtain has sprinkled on the canal outside Nanyang, and the beautiful landscape has lost its color under the black tide of soldiers.

The warships full of Zhenxi army docked on the riverside, and the black-armored sergeants with a rainbow morale stared at the rain curtain and looked at the imperial court sailors on the other side of the river.

The rain poured down on the faces of the soldiers, solemn.

At the same time, outside the Nanyang moat, there was a slight tremor on the ground, and the black and oppressive Western Boundary Iron Rider slowly appeared outside Nanyang City, shaking the sky and shouting, almost pressing down the rain:

"Will!"

"Will!"

"Will!"

At the front of thousands of troops, Chen Mo, Zhenxihou, Xu Lie, Wu Shixian, Dead Wood, Dongkui and so on were one person and one horse, looking up at the Nanyang City Wall hundreds of zhang away, and there was an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

On the city wall, all the cannons were pushed out, and the musketeers and archers were all ready, just waiting for the Zhenxi army to attack the city.

Both sides are ready for a decisive battle.

Zhenxi Hou naturally will not attack the city at this moment, the army has just arrived from Nanyang, it must be adjusted first, and it is currently raining, which is not suitable for attacking the city.

Zhenxihou ordered to retreat ten miles and camp on the spot.

…

On November 21, the rain stopped.

November 23rd.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sound of artillery brought the prelude to the siege.

There are cannons in the imperial court.

The Zhenxi army also has artillery, but the number is not as good as that of the imperial court.

The strong grandmaster took the lead, covering the gunner advance of the Zhenxi Army and bombarding the Nanyang city wall.

And the cannons bombarded by the imperial court were blocked by Dongkui and others, and the Marquis of Zhenxi also appeared in front of the imperial army, showing his true strength, and he was also a grandmaster. qδ.net

It's a pity that the grandmaster powerhouse of the imperial court did not make a move, which made Chen Mo a little disappointed, and their move was also intended to attract the grandmaster powerhouse of the imperial court to launch a decisive battle.

If they don't come out, it's not easy for Chen Mo and the others to go in and find it, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the city.

Boom...

The sound was like thunder, spreading for several miles, and the entire Nanyang City heard its voice.

Feints, and no real siege.

On the 24th, 25th, and 26th, it was still a feint.

On the south gate tower, under several days of continuous bombardment, two large holes were finally blasted out of the city gate tower, and a gap was broken in the wall battlement, smoke and dust were billowing and rubble was splashing.
