When Zhao Ming heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Isn't the army shouting and screaming outside?"
Zhao Shen: "You said it was just shouting and yelling, so how could it be a big army?"
He looked up and down at his father, whom he hadn't seen for many years, and asked, "Are you injured?"
Zhao Ming snorted, then turned to face the little emperor with a gentle look on his face, and asked softly: "Is your Majesty okay?"
The little emperor held his waist and cried softly: "It hurts——"
Zhao Shen quickly explained, "It was too urgent at the time..."
Zhao Ming glanced back at him and did not let him continue. Instead, after looking around for a week, he frowned and asked, "Where is Mr. Ji?"
Ji Yuan walked out from behind a curtain with a big boy in his arms, "Here is someone."
Zhao Ming saw that King Yuzhang didn't speak for a long time in his hand. The two of them looked at each other and understood what the other meant.
If the army arrives in time, Xun Xiu kills Zhao Ming and captures the young emperor. If Ji Yuan can protect King Yuzhang, then he can protect the emperor. Just change him to another one. This will not be difficult for Zhao Hanzhang and Zhao Jiajun.
He wants the emperor, and they can make the emperor in his hands useless.
If the army did not arrive in time and Xun Xiu killed Zhao Ming, then Zhao Ming would definitely kill the young emperor. Ji Yuan also killed King Yu Zhang before he died, leaving Xun Xiu with nothing to grab.
At this point, the direct bloodline of the Jin Dynasty was all dead, and Zhao Hanzhang could just kill Xun Xiu to avenge the Jin Dynasty, and then stand on his own feet.
As for King Langya in the east of the Yangtze River, a few people don't think about it for the time being. He doesn't even dare to cross the river to attack the Xiongnu. How dare he cross the river to attack Zhao Hanzhang?
When Zhao Ming heard that the army outside was fake, he immediately frowned and said, "If he finds out, he will return immediately. We will still be in danger."
Zhao Shen held up his sword and said, "You and them should close the door tightly. I will take people out to guard it."
Zhao Ming asked, "Can't we escape?"
The reason why they didn't escape before was because they didn't have time, so they could only resist in the house. Now that they have temporarily repelled the Xun family's army, they can take the opportunity to run away.
Zhao Shen clicked his tongue and said disgustedly: "How can we run past them? They have a large army outside the city."
Zhao Ming said: "I have a way out, go out through the south city gate, there is no Xun family army there."
Zhao Shen paused and asked, "Are you sure?"
Zhao Ming glanced at him angrily and said, "I'm sure!"
He did not expect that the Xun family army would rebel, but he also did not regard Meng County as a very safe place, so he had planned a way out.
The south city gate is the escape route he left.
He will naturally ensure that the escape route is completely in his own hands.
Zhao Shen was excited. He originally wanted to mobilize the people in the city to fight against Xun Xiu, but this was very dangerous. After all, the people in the city had not been trained, and the final result might be tragic.
If they could run away, Xun Xiu's target would be the young emperor, so he would not embarrass the people in the city too much.
But... "Who will cut off the queen?"
Zhao Ming's eyes fell on him, and his meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Zhao Shen:......
He resigned himself to his fate and asked: "How many troops and horses do you have at your disposal now?"
"one thousand."
Zhao Shen couldn't help but stare, "Do you think I'm the wronged? The captain guarding the city said that there are 10,000 Zhao soldiers in the city."
Zhao Ming sighed and said: "There are defenses at the two city gates and at key points in the city. They have been coming to support, but they must have been held back by the Xun family army. You have also seen the losses just now. Apart from the dead and seriously injured people, I
Maybe four thousand soldiers can be mobilized."
He said: "I have to lead troops to protect His Majesty and the courtiers."
Zhao Shen was not stupid and asked directly: "How many people do you have left outside the South City Gate?"
Zhao Ming said quietly: "Two thousand."
Zhao Shen said: "Give me two thousand people."
Zhao Ming said nothing, and Zhao Shen said, "Father, my grandfather only has one grandson."
In other words, you only have one son, can you bear to let me end it here?
In the end, Zhao Ming transferred two thousand people to him, and then quickly left the city.
At this time, Xun Xiu, who had run for a while, saw the people retreating quickly, his face turned pale, "Is that Zhao Jiajun?"
Both sides also looked ugly.
Xun Xiu knew that he had been deceived, but when he looked into the distance, he saw a crowd of people on the city tower and a flag with the word "Zhao" waving. If these were the people in the city, it showed Zhao Hanzhang's status in the hearts of the people.
Ever since the eight kings began to attack each other, the common people had long been accustomed to ignoring the mutual attacks of the superiors and just keeping their doors closed.
They were willing to take the risk and leave their homes, which meant that they valued Zhao Hanzhang's interests more than their own lives.
Xun Xiu felt a chill in his heart. Even if he really captured the little emperor and occupied this city, could he really own it?
If he lived in a city full of Zhao people, would they be in danger or he?
"General, general——"
The general's call brought Xun Xiu back to his senses.
There was no way out, Xun Xiu's confused eyes gradually became firmer and more fierce.
At this point, he had no retreat.
but……
Xun Xiu turned to the general and said, "Go back to Wang Han immediately and find someone to keep an eye on him."
The general looked confused, "Huh?"
Xun Xiu said calmly: "If anything happens, he will be our retreat."
When the general heard this, he immediately led a team of troops and ran back.
In Xun Xiu's residence, Wang Han, who had been urged and persuaded by his staff, looked with satisfaction at the thick smoke rising in the distance and the faint shouts of killing. He turned and went downstairs: "Let's go back to Xuzhou."
The staff breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly followed, urging them calmly: "I'll tell them to prepare their horses."
Wang Han frowned and said, "It's almost dark, and the horses are full of bugs. Let's prepare the frame."
The staff was tired and wanted to persuade them again. Seeing that his face was not very good, they could only swallow the words that came to their lips. Forget it, even if Xun Xiu didn't win, there should be no one to stop them. It's just a frame.
.
As a result, they prepared the carriages, but before they could leave, Xun Xiu's general led people to surround their carriages and horses, asking them to go back to their houses.
Wang Han was furious, "You are so brave, you dare to block my way."
After saying that, he wanted people to break out. The general was well prepared. He brought a lot of people and suppressed them directly. He also confiscated all the weapons of Wang Han's guards. He called them euphemistically: "A sword has no eyes, but you can't tell the difference."
Wang Langjun was hurt."
Wang Han never expected that Xun Xiu would dare to treat him like this, and shouted: "Do you know who I am? I am Wang Han! I am from the Langya Wang family..."
The general said impatiently: "Who cares who you are, what about the Langya Wang family? Now that our general has rebelled against the general, it is useless even if you are from the Xiping Zhao family."
Wang Han's face turned livid, "How can a second-rate Zhao family be compared with my Wang family? Who else in the Zhao family can do it except Zhao Hanzhang..."
The general was upset and didn't want to listen to him at all. The sword came out of its sheath, a cold light shone on his face, and he said coldly: "If you keep nagging me, I'll kill you!"
Wang Han became silent like a duck whose neck was strangled.
At this time, Xun Xiu, who was returning, met Zhao Shen waiting at the intersection.
I'm a little uncomfortable tonight, but I really want to continue writing. I'll try to see if I can write it. If it's too uncomfortable, I won't write it.
