Chapter 2072: Pretending to declare an imperial edict to earn money into the city

He Wuji turned his head and said loudly: "Everyone, don't be obsessed with fighting. We have only one goal. Cover the slaves to kill Huan Xiu. Once Huan Xiu dies, Jingkou will be ours. Do you understand?"

Everyone said in unison: "No!"

Liu Yu took off He Wuji's halberd from the horse's weapon hook and threw it towards Zhou Anmu: "Anmu, then, we need everyone to fight now. Wuji, do you have a guy?"

He Wuji touched his waist: "The iron whip and soft rope are all here, let's fight and seize the halberd!"

Liu Yu nodded and said in a deep voice to everyone behind him: "Listen to my order, Comrade Jingba, let's go!"

He Wuji rode his horse forward, and the others followed closely behind. Soon, they arrived near the city gate. It was already midnight, and the city gate was still closed and not opened. However, the sergeants on duty outside the city had already begun to move.

Roadblocks were opened to prepare for the opening of the city gate. At the corner outside the city, there were already hundreds of vendors and vegetable farmers waiting to enter the city. As usual, they were squatting everywhere and looking at the official road from a distance.

A large number of people came and all stood up.

Liu Yu had been running beside He Wuji's horse, and suddenly thought of something, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone stop. The one wearing the armor continues to move forward, the others are following and don't get too close!"

More than thirty armed sergeants quickly changed from running to walking, while Liu Yu held He Wuji's horse rein and walked slowly in front. He Wuji whispered: "Send slave, what do you mean?

Didn’t you mean to enter the city by force?”

Liu Yu said: "There are many people here, and a real fight might cause chaos. Originally, we approached the city gate in the name of supporting you in office. Then Zhu Chao and Shi Xiao, together with me, said that if he didn't comply, we would cut off the gate and enter the city.

, but in this way, the city will be on guard, and the civilians will be harmed, which is not what I want. Since you have the imperial edict in your hand, we will simply pretend to be an imperial edict and welcome you into the governor's mansion in the city to declare the imperial edict. Huan Xiu will come out to receive it.

If you wish, I will kill him and then seize the city!"

He Wuji's brows softened slightly: "Then what if the guards around him resist?"

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "It is easier to deal with a few hundred defenders of the governor's office than to deal with the soldiers and horses of the whole city. As long as you sneak into the city, big things will be decided. Wuji, don't let people see the flaw and hold the edict in your hand.

, show the magnanimity of the emperor’s envoy, so that it will be easier for me to do things here!”

He Wuji sat up straight, holding the reins in one hand and the slogan in the other, with a determined look on his face and said, "Hurry up, pretending to be fierce is very exhausting!"

In this way, the group of people arrived in front of the city gate. Zhu Chaoshi came up with more than ten sergeants. When he saw Liu Yu, he smiled and said: "It turns out to be Master. I am busy with military affairs and cannot salute. Dare I ask Master and He? He

Brother, why are you here this time?"

Liu Yu said sternly: "Deputy Zhu Jun, please see clearly. Your elder brother He is now the official secretary of the Ministry of official affairs. He has an official status and is above you."

Zhu Chaoshi hurriedly performed a military salute: "I am humble and ignorant of my position. Please forgive me."

He Wuji said coldly: "According to the emperor's order, there is an urgent decree issued. The governor of Southern Xuzhou and the governor of Yanzhou. Where is Huan Xiu, the general of the Fu army?"

Zhu Chaoshi looked at the message on He Wuji's right hand and said in surprise: "Is it an imperial edict? Come, please inform Governor Huan immediately and ask him to..."

Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "Deputy Zhu Jun, you see that we have been rushing all the way. You should know that this decree is very urgent, so I might as well reveal it to you. Your Majesty has received a secret report that there is a rebellious party with evil intentions and wants to attack near the capital.

When he launched an attack, he himself was attacked. Fortunately, Yuanwai He and I were fighting with him at the time and killed the assassin. He then asked us to come and notify the governors everywhere to strengthen the defense. After we finished delivering the order here, we still had to

Rush to Guangling, and then go to Pengcheng, Shouchun, and Liyang. There is no delay at all. If we wait for Huanfu's army to get up, change clothes, and go out to greet him, at least half an hour will pass, and we will miss the opportunity to capture and prepare for counterattacks.

Can you afford the big deal of a thief?"

Zhu Chaoshi opened his eyes wide: "What? Someone dares to assassinate Your Majesty? Who is so bold!"

He Wuji said sternly: "This is not something you should ask, Deputy Zhu Jun. Liu Neishi made it clear that the military situation is very fierce. Now you quickly open the city gate and let me wait to deliver the edict. If you miss the big event, I will take you."

It’s a question!”

Zhu Chaoshi gritted his teeth, turned around and shouted to the sergeants behind him: "What are you still waiting for? Open the city gate quickly."

Liu Yu glanced at the many people in Jingkou who were talking on both sides, and whispered to Zhu Chaoshi: "I'm afraid there are many rebels among the crowd. After you open the city, quickly guard this place and don't let anyone into the city.

If necessary, inform your brother immediately and ask him to bring the sergeants from the Governor's Office to come out for support. Governor Huan has us there, so don't worry."

Zhu Chaoshi nodded quickly and said: "Master has thought more carefully, so I will do as you say." After he finished speaking, he began to explain their respective tasks to the several officers around him. The city gate slowly opened,

An officer immediately turned around and ran into the city. Zhu Chaoshi turned around and said: "Master, Yuan Wai, you can..."

Liu Yu didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and strode forward. He held the dragon-slaying knife in his hand and was the first to clear the way. As he walked, he loudly said: "The emperor's messenger is coming, and the rest of the people are waiting to get out of the way. The governor of Southern Xuzhou, Yanzhou

The governor, General Huan Xiu of the Fu Army, accepts the order!"

Tan Pingzhi behind him magically took out a gong. Every time Liu Yu shouted in front, he would beat the gong in the back. More than 30 sergeants followed him in an orderly manner, like a guard of honor for the whole team.

, showing an awe-inspiring and inviolable look, Zhu Chaoshi began to get busy and dispersed the vendors and footmen outside the city gate to a place about a hundred steps away from the city gate. Many sergeants had already started quarreling with some vendors.

In the midst of the quarrel, "Will you pay for missing my business today? Stop talking nonsense, this is a military order from the top, if you don't leave, we will take it down!" Liu Daogui led more than a hundred people behind him disguised as

Soldiers of all colors spread out and blended into the crowd outside the city gate.

When Liu Yu led He Wuji's horse all the way to the governor's office, Huan Xiu, who had just put on his official robe and was being adjusted by Zhu Lingshi behind his official hat, was accompanied by more than ten staff members.

Stepping out of the governor's office, he saw Liu Yu and raised his eyebrows: "What happened? Where did the rebels come from?"

But He Wuji's voice sounded coldly in his ears: "The emperor has an edict, and Huan Xiu will receive it!"

Huan Xiu knelt down quickly, not even bothering to straighten the belt of his official hat. Zhu Lingshi and the others, as well as all the civil and military officers who were still running, knelt down. Liu Yu waved his hand, and all the sergeants behind him ran over.

The people on both sides and behind them inadvertently controlled the whole place. Liu Yu himself stood beside Zhu Lingshi and Huan Xiu, turned to He Wuji and nodded: "Wuji, declare the edict."
