When Lin Muyu heard the discussion of those people, he couldn't help but stand up, hugged his fists to those people, and said, "Brothers, is what you just said true?"

"Of course it's true, I just came from Jinling, and I saw with my own eyes that the 100,000 troops of the imperial court surrounded Stone City, and it has been around for more than ten days. The black-haired man said immediately.

Lin Muyu hugged him again, didn't ask again, and then sat down, and Zhao Quan also came over from another table and said, "Lord Lin Xiang, this matter is not false, I heard about it when I first came to Yangzhou." ”

Lin Muyu nodded, thinking that he should still go to Jinling to see, he still has a good impression of Zhu Yuanzhang, and he also has a sworn brother Chang Yuchun is also under Zhu Yuanzhang.

Let's say that after Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Stone City, the imperial court did not move him at first, and he and Li Xianglei all reported to the imperial court and got credit.

Later, the army of the imperial court fought several battles with Zhang Shicheng, some lost and some won, Zhang Shicheng relied on the financial resources in his hands, and bribed the officials of the imperial court from time to time, and the senior officials of the imperial court got Zhang Shicheng's bribes and did not suppress him.

Moreover, Zhang Shicheng also surrendered several times, but the officials of the imperial court all received Zhang Shicheng's tribute, and Zhang Shicheng also received the title of the imperial court.

Now, after the imperial court learned that Zhu Yuanzhang occupied Stone City, it was afraid of future troubles, so it sent troops to encircle and suppress it.

Or 40,000 horses led by Tuotuocao, Li Xianglei led 30,000 horses, and Ma Nu also led 30,000 cavalry, and surrounded Zhu Yuanzhang.

Last time, Zhu Yuanzhang was in Wucheng, and the three-way army came, but that time Lin Muyu set up an empty city plan, so Zhu Yuanzhang successfully went to Stone City, and finally took Stone City as a base.

And now, the three-way army is here again, and the number of people has increased several times compared to last time, which shows that the imperial court also wants to take Zhu Yuanzhang in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, the terrain of Stone Town is extremely dangerous, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the Yangtze River is dangerous, and the Mongolian army is good at riding and shooting, but the naval army is not good.

And the only two naval armies in the imperial court are in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and Chen Youliang fighting, Chen Youliang's naval army is very strong, the imperial court's naval army is not his opponent, every time he loses the battle, Chen Youliang now has more than 100 warships alone, and several huge ships.

The arrival of the three-way army of Detuoweed, Li Xianglei and numb really frightened Zhu Yuanzhang, so many soldiers and horses came to besiege a lonely city, which really made his heart tremble.

Last time, Lin Muyu and Lin Shiying were there, Zhu Yuanzhang was not so anxious, and now he is really anxious.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang also sent people to ask for help from all walks of life, but he did not get a response, he and Zhang Shicheng were the closest, so he sent Zhang Shicheng several times to ask for help, but Zhang Shicheng still did not agree to his request.

Now, Zhu Yuanzhang has to convene all the generals every day to discuss, some advocate surrender, some advocate abandoning the city, but no one advocates defending the city, and Zhu Yuanzhang is also difficult to decide.

And the three-way army of the imperial court attacked the city from time to time, although the stone city defense was relatively strong, but it could not resist the attack of so many people.

Zhu Yuanzhang had to personally go to the city wall to supervise the battle, because the terrain of the stone city is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the city gate tower is guarded, other places are easy to hold, therefore, although the number of officers and soldiers is large, but it is also a long time to attack.

However, many of Zhu Yuanzhang's advisers advocated abandoning the city, just like abandoning Wucheng at the beginning.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang did not agree, he also knew that Lin Muyu broke off last time, who would help him break it this time?

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang only said one sentence: "If Stone Town can't be defended, where else can we go?"

......

......

While eating, Lin Muyu said that his plan was to go to Jinling to observe the military situation and see if Zhu Yuanzhang could hold on.

Now, Lin Muyu and a few beauties have finished eating and drinking, so they returned to the inn to rest for the night, and left the city early the next morning and went straight to Jinling.

Yangzhou is not far from Jinling, with the light skills of Lin Muyu and a few beauties, you can arrive in half a day at most.

However, Zhao Quanke didn't have such a good light skill, and Lin Muyu was not in a hurry, as long as he arrived at Jinling before dark.

Lin Muyu and his entourage of seven rode seven horses and ran all the way, attracting the attention of many people, but the five beauties such as Lin Shiying and Zhao Zhiruo were too beautiful to attract attention.

They ran all morning, getting closer and closer to Jinling City, and Lin Muyu decided to find a place to eat first.

Lin Muyu's plan was to enter the city while it was dark, although he and the five beauties had very high light skills, but if it was daytime, they would not be able to fly into the city under the gaze of many officers and soldiers.

If they were discovered by the officers and soldiers, each of them would be able to shoot seven of them into a porcupine.

Lin Muyu and his group of seven walked forward for a while, and then saw a tavern, which was opened on the side of the road, both for accommodation and meals, and it was specially prepared for passing business travelers.

Lin Muyu entered the tavern with a few beauties, Zhao Quan tied the horses to a big tree again, and the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to beckon them upstairs, and went to prepare forage to feed the horses.

After Lin Muyu and the seven of them went to the restaurant, they just asked for a little wine and food, and before eating, Lin Muyu also took out a silver needle and tried it to see if these drinks and dishes had been drugged.

Lin Muyu tried it, but there was no problem, so everyone began to eat and drink.

Lin Muyu put away the silver needle, and suddenly remembered that he and Fang Xiaoyu stayed in a roadside shop that year, but they slept until midnight, and they were blown drugged and almost made into adult meat buns.

Therefore, Lin Muyu is now walking in the rivers and lakes, he will always have an extra mind, before eating, he has to try whether there is any poison, and he does not sleep in the accommodation, but he just cultivates internal strength, and once he finds that the situation is wrong, he can deal with it in time.

And now, the time is still early, just noon, so Lin Muyu called the shopkeeper again and asked, "Little second brother, how far is it to Jinling?"

"If the guest officer rides a horse, it only takes half an hour to be enough. The shopkeeper hurriedly said.

Lin Muyu immediately rewarded the shopkeeper with two taels of silver, and the shopkeeper was very happy, he just answered a small question, and he got a reward of two taels of silver, such a generous guest, he met it for the first time.

After Lin Muyu and the others had eaten, they immediately went on the road again, rode forward for a while, and heard the sound of horses neighing in the distance.

Lin Muyu immediately understood that it was very close to Jinling City, so they tied their horses to the woods on the side of the road, and then climbed to the top of the mountain on foot, and looked down and found that there were many officers and soldiers, densely packed.

Lin Muyu was also surprised to see such officers and soldiers besieging the city, which was much more than the officers and soldiers he saw on the tower of Wucheng at that time.
