Chapter 286 Soldiers approaching the city (Part 2)
Jiangdu's troops were so quick that they could reach the city, which was both a crisis and an opportunity for Han Jian...
The Yuzhou military transformation has not yet been completely calmed down, and there is still a possibility of turmoil in Yuzhou City at any time. Han Jian knew that Yang Luochuan would inevitably be hesitant at this time. He wanted to kill him, but also knew that the consequences of killing him would likely lead to the insurrection of Yuzhou.
"Let the dog go and discuss it again." Yang Luochuan said after being silent.
When Han Jian heard this, he knew that the initiative was already in his own hands. Han Jian said coldly: "If you are deported and there is no barrier in your hands, how can you ensure that the King of Southern will not go back on his word? Before retreating, you will not easily take risks."
Han Jian said "before retreating the army", and told Yang Luochuan that before he was free, Yang Yi was his last bargaining chip. Unless Yang Luochuan was ready to do whatever he wanted, he would fight to the death.
Yang Luochuan did not expect that his reputation would be threatened by a younger boy today. But if he did not follow Han Jian's request, his son would not be able to be saved first. Originally, Jiangdu soldiers were at the city, and the city was high and the river was deep, and Jiangdu soldiers would not be able to kill in for a few months. But what is now tight is that there are still military changes in the city and outside the city, and the military generals involved in the military changes were not able to be found out in a short time. Many generals arranged by the imperial court in Yuzhou were deeply rooted and no different from ordinary military generals. It is not easy to judge who is loyal or treacherous. In this way, if there are rebels in the city and the army outside the city, then the fall of Yuzhou City would be in a daze. Yang Luochuan did not want to take such a risk.
"Go up to the city tower!" Yang Luochuan shouted.
Han Jian held Yang Yi out of the door, and Han Jian was also nervous at the moment. After all, he wanted Yang Yi to deal with the people from the Southern Prince's Mansion to come forward to steal people at any time. He was in danger alone, and the situation was quite critical. Yang Luochuan might turn against others at any time.
The moon was as bright as snow, and the group left the Southern Prince's Mansion. Yang Luochuan got on the horse, turned to look at Han Jian who was holding Yang Yi hostage, and sneered, and led the soldiers to the east gate. Han Jian was not in a hurry. Yang Ronger approached a little and asked, "Can you prepare a carriage?"
"No need. Thank you." Han Jian said.
Yang Yi was quite angry at this time. His Nanwang Prince was very famous in Yuzhou, but this time he fell into Han Jian's hands, which ruined his reputation.
Han Jian walked and took Yang Yi hostage and went to the Dongcheng Gate with the guards of the Nanwang Mansion. At this time, there were many generals from the Dongcheng Gate. Everyone was alert to the soldiers and horses of Jiangdu outside the city to attack the city at any time. Han Jian glanced around and did not see Yang Luochuan himself. He expected that Yang Luochuan had already gone up to the city tower to observe the situation outside the city.
"Please!" A general came down from the city tower and made a gesture of inviting Han Jian.
Han Jian was a little embarrassed. It was not easy for him to threaten Yang Yi to go up the city tower. After all, the stairs of the city tower are full of soldiers, and the stairs themselves are very narrow, so they may be attacked by others at any time.
But at this moment, a figure floated from the two-story building on the street downstairs. Han Jian saw this figure at the beginning and thought it was Fayi. When he saw it clearly, he realized that it was Zuogu. Han Jian had learned from Ke Qu'er that Zuogu was close to Zuogu, but he did not expect Zuogu to appear in Yuzhou City. At this time, Zuogu was floating in the crowd of troops. Han Jian could not guess why her purpose was. If Zuogu wanted to kill him, he would have no choice. After all, Zuogu did not need to take into account the safety of the Prince of the Southern King.
Just when Han Jian couldn't figure out the purpose of Zuo Gu's visit, the soldiers in Yuzhou also noticed the white figure falling from the sky. A soldier raised his bow and arrow to shoot Zuo Gu's visit, but Zuo Gu's visit was one step faster and quickly jumped in front of Han Jian's exercise.
"Leave it to me." Zuo Gu said directly without discussing with Han Jian.
Han Jian didn't expect that the target of Master Zuo Gu's arrival was Yang Yi. Han Jian thought, is Master Zuo Gu trying to rescue Yang Yi?
Just as Han Jian was a little stunned, Zuo Gu had already attacked Han Jian and slashed Han Jian's shoulder with his hand as a knife. Han Jian wanted to dodge, but he could not continue to hold Yang Yi hostage. Zuo Gu's move was just right, which was to make Han Jian subconsciously dodge and relax his hostage to Yang Yi.
Then Yang Yi was captured by the Zuo Gu master, and Han Jian was about to take back the hostages, but he saw the Zuo Gu master carrying Yang Yi, as if he was carrying a very light puppet with his opinion, and quickly rushed up the city tower. Even if the soldiers reacted and stabbed with a spear, they were still easily avoided by the Zuo Gu master. As the Zuo Gu master went up the city tower, the soldiers in the city became nervous. No one knew who this was, and they didn't know the purpose of this person.
"Protect the prince!"
The soldiers worked together, as if they wanted to organize Zuogu to approach the Southern King, but Zuogu's purpose was not the Southern King, but the city tower. Soon, Zuogu's master held Yang Yi hostage on the battlements, crossed the battlements, and went directly to the top of the city tower. Han Jian couldn't help but admire his high light skills. Han Jian then knew why when he was in the palace that day, Ke Qu'er tried his best to say how high her master's light skills were. Today he had seen it with his own eyes and realized that Ke Qu'er had nothing to say.
As the hostages in Han Jian were robbed by Zuo Gu, the soldiers of the Southern King's Mansion seemed to be unscrupulous and faced Han Jian with their weapons. Naturally, Han Jian did not have the superb light skills of Zuo Gu. At this moment, he was unable to fly.
"Don't be rude to the East!" Yang Rong'er saw that Han Jian was going to take risks, and the soldiers under her opponent shouted.
Hearing Yang Rong'er's words, the soldiers surrounding Han Jian retreated and made way for the stairs to the city tower.
"Let's go, my father is waiting for you on the top." Yang Ronger said in a calm tone.
Han Jian didn't say much. Now he was like a turtle in a jar. He was taken hostage by Zuogu's superior, so he could only leave the will. If the King of Southern really wanted to kill him, he would have no more ways. It was only a matter of time before he came to Yuzhou, and he could not escape from Yuzhou. However, before he came, he had prepared, so he did not intend to escape without any result.
Han Jian followed Yang Rong'er to the city wall. At this time, the soldiers on the city wall not only had to deal with the black Jiangdu army four or five miles away from the East City, but also had to guard against the Zuogu people standing still on the city tower.
Yang Luochuan's eyes were also on the Zuogu man on the city tower. After his subordinates reported that the King of the East came up, he looked at Han Jian and said with a cold look: "Is this your person?"
"No." Han Jian said directly, "She is from Zuogu. I think the King of Nan should have heard of this person."
Yang Luochuan was a little surprised. He naturally knew the status of Zuo Gu's master in the Wei Dynasty's rebel army. Such a woman could be said to be an enemy of the entire Wei Dynasty. How could his son save his life if he fell into the hands of such a woman?
Yang Luochuan's fists were clenched tightly at this time, but he had no choice but to do anything. Although the Zuogu Master seemed to be forced to death, Yang Luochuan, the martial arts master of Zuogu, had just seen it with his own eyes. He knew that women with such martial arts would not come to host the Prince of the Southern King for no reason.
Just as Yang Luochuan was considering how to save people, a horn was heard among the soldiers and horses of Jiangdu far outside the city, which meant to attack the city at any time.
"Dongwang, what do you say?" Yang Luochuan glared at Han Jian.
Han Jian was calm at this time and said, "Please send an envoy to the Eastern King's camp to contact him!"
"I don't think it's necessary."
Yang Luochuan turned his head and looked outside the battlements, a team of Jiangdu cavalry had already rode their horses to approach. Because these people did not bring weapons, but scepters symbolizing envoys, which means that these people were envoys who came forward to negotiate.
When these Jiangdu cavalry approached, Han Jian was still unable to identify the person who came from the moonlight, but saw the person who took the lead in holding a scepter with a graceful figure, like a woman.
"Is Your Highness the Eastern King on top?" The woman shouted, and from this voice, Han Jian could tell that it was his ninth concubine Han Zhaoshi.
Yang Luochuan heard the sound below and looked back at Han Jian. At this moment, he was still very angry. Han Jian was holding Yang Yi hostage, which made him very angry. Unexpectedly, Han Jian, the hostage, did not protect Yang Yi well, and made him fall into the hands of a woman like Zuogu, who was an enemy of the court. At the moment, Jiangdu soldiers were at the city, but they were not in a hurry to attack the city and sent envoys to negotiate. This means that the news about the Dong King in the city had been spread from some channels outside the city, and it was known in the Jiangdu military formation that the Dong King had contact with the Nanwang Mansion.
"Reply!" Yang Luochuan said coldly to Han Jian.
Han Jian walked forward, went to the edge of the battlement, and glanced down. He was estimating whether he would fall to death if he jumped down with his lightness skills. After comprehensive consideration, Han Jian did not choose to jump off the city tower. Although he would not fall to death, the soldiers on the city tower behind were not vegetarians after all. They would take advantage of the fact that he was so angry that he would fly together with stones and bows and arrows, but he still couldn't escape.
Han Jian couldn't help but smile bitterly. For some reason, he still had these thoughts at this time. He knew that even if he jumped down, it would be useless to reach the Jiangdu military formation. His main purpose was to unite with the Southern Prince's Mansion. Only in this way can the Eastern Prince's Mansion not be single and lonely. Once he reaches the point where the Eastern Prince's Mansion is single and lonely, then even if he is wise and powerful, other forces will still erode Jiangdu.
"Jiu Niang, it's me!" Han Jian shouted loudly.
"Okay!" Han Zhao's voice came back with a few echoes.
Then he turned around and left, probably for return. At this time, Han Jian turned around and looked up. Master Zuo Gu was still standing on the city tower. Han Jian was increasingly unable to understand the purpose of Master Zuo Gu holding Yang Yi up.
At this time, another soldier came up to convey the war report. The King of Southern thought to go to the side this time. Han Jian's ears were very sharp. From the words of the reporter, he had guessed the situation in the city.
