Chapter 21: The Siege of Rock Castle

Chapter 21 Wisdom Harvest Nanyang City

Early the next morning, Tang Xian and Zhou Yu stood outside the north gate of Tongxian County, and the north gate at this moment was full of people, counting no less than 50,000 people, these were the private soldiers of the family.

Zhou Yu looked at the 50,000 private soldiers of the family in front of him and said in a deep voice: "You are all my Zhao Guo's sons, and you are also the grassroots level, the family is so big, or they don't treat you as people, they use their official power to occupy your good land, and they want you to work for them, do you agree? At present, Chang is just and unreasonable, but he is willing to stay with this king, and this king's personal army! Kill back to the royal capital with this king, kill the law enforcement thieves, and take the head of the regular thief! If you don't want to stay, you can let you go, and this king will never stop you!"

"Your Highness, I would like to stay, I have no home, and the law enforcement team has slaughtered my village. I was forced to join the family, and I was able to live with one meal a day!"

"Your Highness, is this true? I don't share the sky with the law enforcement team, if I can kill the law enforcement team, I am willing to stay!"

"Your Highness, I'm a rough man, I just want food and clothing, can I get three meals a day when I become your pro-army? Two meals are okay, if I can, I'll stay."

"I'm a peasant, I can only make a hoe, and I can kill a few dog thieves with a hoe, can I stay?"

Seeing that only a few dozen or so loyal to the family left, and the rest stayed, Zhou Yu was very satisfied, and said solemnly: "To become a pro-army, you naturally have three meals a day, and there are silver rings to distribute! Armor and equipment are distributed, and if you have merit in killing the enemy, there are also two rewards for promotion of official positions and silver! After joining, you will be the prince and the army in the future, and you can only be loyal to the king!"

After speaking, Zhou Yu instructed the people beside him, after deleting some of the old ones, he ordered each soldier to be issued with golden armor and a long knife, and after the distribution, all the 50,000 soldiers knelt on one knee: "Meet His Royal Highness the Third Prince!"

"Jin Biaozi, take these 50,000 soldiers to training!" Tang Xian shouted, and a big man ran to Tang Xian's eyes and respectfully said yes, and left with 50,000 soldiers.

A pillar of incense after the army camped outside Nanyang City, in the main general tent of the Chinese army, all the generals held a pre-war meeting here, Li Nan looked at everyone and asked: "Attack Nanyang City, do you soldiers have a good plan?"

"The city lord of Nanyang has 200,000 defenders, and the city lord Lin Gui is an eighth-level cultivator, this battle is a bit difficult!" said a general

The deputy general came out of the ranks: "There are many crossbowmen in Nanyang City, if you want to capture it, you will kill a thousand enemies, and you will lose 800 yourself, which is extremely time-consuming!"

"We can take cover in front of the armor with shields, and march slowly until we are fifty feet from the city wall, and then charge!"

"This king thinks that the catapult will be thrown with fire oil!, and then the archers will release rockets, and the defenders on the city wall will definitely be worried about the flames, and even mess with themselves, and then break through the city gate with the right side of the cavalry like Tang Xian did before!" Zhou Yu said.

Tang Xian stood up and said mysteriously: "There is no need to do this, I have a plan to make the 200,000 defenders of Nanyang City surrender!"

"So Mr. has a clever plan?" Li Nan wondered.

Tang Xian nodded and said, "The generals can order the soldiers, besiege but not attack!

Zhou Yu asked, "How can Mr. put himself in danger?"

"It's okay, I have my own clever plan! When the city gate is opened, please accept the surrender of the army! Don't cause casualties! They are also the sons of the Great Zhao Kingdom!" Tang Xian said solemnly.

In Nanyang City, in the city lord's mansion, the city lord Lin Gui was walking back and forth, he was holding a letter in his hand, which was sent by a civilian before, and the content of the letter was Chang Gang's seventy-two pieces of incriminating evidence. Lin Gui knew that someone was just trying to frame him. While Lin Gui was thinking, a soldier came in from outside the door and said, "Lord of the City, there is a white-robed young man who claims to be Tang Xian of the Righteous Army, and he is asking to see the City Lord outside the door!"

"Tang Xian, okay, let him in! I'm here to see what tricks he throws!" Lin Gui put away the envelope and said coldly.

Tang Xian walked into the mansion, looked at the city lord Lin Gui and said calmly: "In the lower Tang Xian, I have seen the city lord Lin!"

"Okay, you Tang Xian, you are bold enough! If you come here to do something, you are not afraid that I will kill you!" Lin Gui said sharply

Tang Xian shook his head and said softly: "City Lord Lin, this is different because you didn't help the abuse, so I'm here to save you."

"You're here to save me, it's ridiculous! Your life is in my hands now! You're still talking wildly, come on! Arrest him!" Lin Gui shouted

"City Lord Lin, you received the envelope, the law enforcement team must have known about this!" Tang Xian said with a gentle smile

Lin Gui stood up and pointed at Tang Xian, and shouted, "Okay, it turns out... You're trying to frame me! Good you sinister Tang Xian!"

"No, no, no, this is exactly the treasure you wanted that day City Lord! City Lord Lin should surrender! You have no chance of surviving under the law enforcement team!" Tang Xian waved his hand and said with a smile

"Tang Xian, what if I hand you over to the law enforcement team now to prove my innocence?" Lin Gui shouted

"It's useless, I have already reported my name when I came in, this is absolutely detected by the ability of the law enforcement team, and you covered up for the treasure that day, do you think the law enforcement team will not know?" Tang Xian looked at the city lord and bowed

Lin Gui couldn't help but lose his soul and asked, "What if I didn't let you in and killed you directly outside the door?"

"I'm a half-immortal cultivator, no one here can kill me! And presumably that letter is still in your hands, do you think the law enforcement team is blind? As long as the law enforcement team has the slightest suspicion, your Lin City Lord will definitely be on the blacklist, and now you are dead, surrender is the way to live." Tang Xian shook his head and said with a pleasant face.

Lin Gui's eyes were gloomy, and he said softly: "Sure enough, it is the think tank under the three princes! What a step-by-step calculation! Sir, if I surrender to the three princes, how will the three princes treat me?"

"Guilty of meritorious service, with your ability as a city lord, you should be a general, Chang Gang has no way, why do you want to work for him again!" Tang Xian looked at Lin Gui and said solemnly.

"If I surrender, can the three princes treat my soldiers well, these soldiers have been with me for so many years! Lin can't let them be wronged anymore!" Lin Gui said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry! They were originally from the Zhao Kingdom, and they were originally soldiers of the Zhou family, and these soldiers were still under you. After you surrender, the Third Prince will not take away your military power, but he needs your absolute loyalty!, are you willing?" Tang Xian said seriously.

When Lin Gui heard that he could still be treated well if he did not seize military power, Lin Gui solemnly promised: "The three princes are really so benevolent and righteous, if this is the case, I, Lin Gui, am willing to follow the three princes to the death!

After half a pillar of incense, Lin Gui asked the deputy general to lead the troops to kill all the law enforcement team stationed in the city, and then the city gate was opened, and all the soldiers were ordered to put down their arms and surrender out of the city, Lin Gui took the important generals to the city gate and knelt in front of the army and shouted: "The criminal minister Lin Gui leads 200,000 soldiers, is willing to surrender to the three princes, and is willing to follow His Royal Highness the three princes to the death!"

"Brother Tang, Brother Tang, you are giving me another big gift, these people are surrendering to me, not surrendering to the righteous army, not surrendering to Zhennan Hou Li Nan, they are completely the king's private army!"

Retracting his thoughts, Zhou Yu walked to the city gate, helped up Lin Gui, the city lord of Nanyang who was kneeling on one knee, and said solemnly: "Soldiers, please get up quickly! Hurry up! At the moment of law enforcement, you are well aware of the righteousness! Worthy of being my great Zhao Erlang! That is, if you join me, you will be the king's own soldiers, and this king will not take the military power regardless of the past suspicions, and I also ask all the soldiers to enter the king of Jingqin with me, and destroy the unrighteous rebels!

Lin Gui and 200,000 soldiers shouted: "Obey the will of the three princes, the king will be the king, and the rebel ministers will be exterminated!"

Kill, kill, kill!"
