Chang Yu closed his eyes and rested his mind. After a while, the sky turned dark and night fell.
Fang San walked to the couch with a bowl of hot mutton soup: "Mr. Factory, do you want to eat?"
Chang Yu glanced at him and said, "San, can you give me a different trick?"
“Change it, change it”
Fang San smiled mysteriously and said softly: "This bowl is sheep whip soup. It is carefully brewed. It is very tonic!"
Cough, cough, cough, Chang Yu almost recited it in one breath: "The paralyzed one needs to replenish his vitality after being injured. Why don't you get a sheep whip for me to patch up? If it's hard, I'll fuck you!"
Fang San was dumbfounded when he was scolded: "If adults want to, I can bear it." He said with a shy look!
"roll!"
Chang Yu shouted loudly, startling Zhou Tianpeng and other guards who were on duty downstairs. Just as he was about to go upstairs to check, Fang San hurried down, still trying to suppress a smile on his face.
Just after Xu Shi arrived (at seven o'clock in the evening), Zhou Yuji came in with a serious look on his face: "The bandit army has begun to mobilize troops towards the east gate, and there are at least 20,000 people watching the fire."
Another half an hour later, he reported: "There are also bandits camping in the west, at least 20,000 of them!"
Chang Yu was a little surprised when the intruder mobilized his troops late at night, but it was also expected.
Zhou Yuji quickly summoned civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures, and asked Chang Yu for his opinion on whether to go out of the city to intercept.
Chang Yu's suggestion is that the bandit army chose to mobilize its troops at night to prevent the officers and soldiers from leaving the city to intercept them, but it cannot be ruled out that they deliberately lured the officers and soldiers out of the city at night.
In any case, the strategy of dividing the troops and besieging the city must be implemented, and if the officers and soldiers cannot stop it, then just let it go.
After Zhou Yuji discussed with a kind of civil and military forces, he felt that what Chang Yu said was reasonable, but he didn't want the rebels to easily bypass the trench formation in the south and divide their forces to encircle things. But for a while, he couldn't think of an excellent way to retaliate, so he could only
He stared at the rebels on the city as they dispatched their troops and generals, and ordered the patrols on duty below the city to stand ready.
"He won't attack the city tonight," Chang Yu muttered to himself as he lay flat on his back and looked at the roof. He suddenly felt very tired. He seemed to be able to sense Li Zicheng's thoughts: He was very tired too!
"I'm so tired, I'll have a good rest and I'll attack the city tomorrow." In the bandit camp in the south of the city, Li Zicheng issued the order to mobilize troops, left the rest to the military advisor and others, and went back to his account to rest.
However, he was tossing and turning on the couch, unable to fall asleep, even though he felt exhausted both physically and mentally at this time!
This state is very abnormal. It has not happened for many years. It only happened many years ago when I was surrounded by officers and soldiers and fled in a panic. Could it be...
A bad feeling arose in my heart, but I couldn't explain why. The despicable look of that dead eunuch came to mind!
It was necessary to kill this beast as soon as possible, Li Zicheng thought silently in his heart, as if only killing Chang Yu would make him feel at ease.
Chang Yu suffered from abnormal pain from the fracture in his shoulder. Even though he had extraordinary healing ability, the pain still caused him to grit his teeth and make it difficult to sleep. It was not until the second half of the night that the pain subsided and he fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes, he vaguely saw Zhu Shenxuan's face only one foot away from him. He sat up with excitement and covered his chest with his hands: "You, you didn't do anything to our family, right?".
Zhu Shenxuan rolled his eyes and really wanted to strangle him to death. He took a long breath: "I heard that you were injured. Hey, why are you still so willful in the face of a powerful enemy? Don't you know that you have become a thorn in the side of the thieves?"
It would be better for you to kill you quickly. If someone hooks their fingers, you will be so fascinated that you hold your head and send it over..."
"Who said our family was injured?"
Chang Yu waved his left hand, his shoulder ached slightly, but it was no longer serious compared to yesterday, and he was overjoyed. This body is so awesome!
Um... Zhu Shenxuan, who was still complaining about Chang Yu, looked stunned: "No, didn't you say that you were shot by the rebel archer..."
"It's an injury, but it's not as serious as the rumors say." Chang Yu chuckled and then changed the subject: "Come here early in the morning. Do you have any good news to tell our family?"
"Early in the morning?"
Zhu Shenxuan opened his mouth wide: "It will be noon soon."
As he spoke, he stood up suddenly: "Those misers really won't shed tears until they see the coffin, they are all tough!"
"Why, no money?" Chang Yu frowned.
Zhu Shenxuan glanced at Chang Yu and snorted coldly: "One of them wants money and the other refuses to pay. What can I do? When you sealed the city and didn't allow anyone to leave, I still had a soft word for you, but now I
I can’t applaud you, you’re doing the right thing, even if you have a knife on your neck, these iron roosters are still so stubborn, it’s okay, let’s all die together!”
Seeing the indignant look on his face, Chang Yu secretly laughed, thinking that you were also a bitch in history, not necessarily much better than these wealthy gentry. It's just that this guy has been darkened by himself during this period, and he figured it out.
"No matter how stingy you are, you can't really be free of money, at least you have to pay for the drinks in the palace," Chang Yu stood up and said.
"Hey, can I let them walk out of the palace without paying for the drinks?" Zhu Shenxuan's face showed a hint of pride: "I invited forty-eight gentry in the city, big and small, and charged 260,000 for drinks."
What a shame! Chang Yu sighed, those who can be invited to drink by King Jin are naturally the famous people in Taiyuan City. Who doesn’t have a huge family fortune, but now the average person is only 5,000 taels!
You really need money rather than your life. Historically, after Li Zicheng broke into Taiyuan, he made a huge profit by robbing dozens and nearly millions, and by that time most of the wealthy people had already left the city to take refuge.
"It doesn't matter, ant legs are also meat. Two hundred thousand can last for a while." Chang Yu said while washing: "Think of ways to make them vomit slowly. Even if you dig them bit by bit, they will lose their speed."
Meat".
"Why are you digging? You're robbing me!" Zhu Shenxuan said angrily.
"Hey, Your Majesty, this method is good. You can give it a try, but we suggest you keep a low profile and rob it secretly. Doing it openly will damage the reputation of the palace!" Chang Yu said with a smile.
Damn it! Digging a hole again! Zhu Shenxuan was furious and about to explode. Chang Yu quickly waved his hand: "Just kidding, just kidding!"
Zhu Shenxuan was finally calmed down, and he looked at Chang Yu sideways and said, "Is it possible that these wealthy gentry in the city were plotted by you from the beginning, so you closed the city and did not allow them to leave?"
Chang Yu smiled and said nothing, took the lunch brought by Fang San and started to eat it happily.
When Zhu Shenxuan saw that he was silent, he held his head and looked at the roof, silently saying: "Actually, it's not impossible to rob, but it really can't be done blatantly..."
Ahem, cough, cough, Chang Yu squirted out his rice and almost choked to death: "You, are you serious?"
Zhu Shenxuan is really young and easy to fool, and Chang Yu just said it as a joke. To be honest, of course he also wants to squeeze all the wealthy gentry in the city, but no, he can't really rob him, then
Isn't he just like a thief? If he does it, the negative impact will be immeasurable.
And even if you pretend to be a thief, it won't work. After all, the city is now dominated by officers and soldiers. Where can the thieves come from? But with a few people to rob, even if a wealthy family has no servants to protect the courtyard, they can't beat you to death!
"Don't act recklessly. It's not good to cause chaos in the city." Chang Yu looked at Zhu Shenxuan solemnly and said, this child was really led astray by him. He even had to run thousands of miles away to rob him, but this guy actually eats his neighbor.
Damn it, the ignorant are really fearless
Hehe, Zhu Shenxuan scratched his head and giggled: "I am just talking."
However, Chang Yu looked at his expression and it didn't look like he was just talking. He thought to himself that he had to send someone to keep an eye on this guy to prevent him from causing a big mess in the city.
It was already noon. Chang Yu walked out of the tower and looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly. Although the sky was cold, it was finally a little warm.
"The weather is good, suitable for hunting." Chang Yu walked to the battlements with a cold look on his face and looked towards the south. There were many flags in the rebel camp, tents stretched for miles, and a vague crowd of people could be seen.
Looking closer, outside the trench formation, facing the south gate, there were three square formations of the rebel army, numbering about ten thousand people, waiting for orders.
Looking behind the formation, we could vaguely see some siege equipment, such as ladders, chariots, etc., but there was no sign of the artillery, maybe it was blocked.
The ladders are all ready. Is it possible that we want to attack the city today? Chang Yu sneered in his heart, let's attack the river first.
He got on his horse and headed straight to the west of the city with a few guards. When he arrived at Zhenwu Gate, Chang Yu frowned and looked solemn. The bandit army had at least 20,000 troops stationed outside the city, and they were watching eagerly from 300 meters outside the moat.
I saw some of the rebels riding horses around under the city, and some of them were lazily basking in the sun and cursing the officers and soldiers. They were very arrogant.
However, if these thieves approached the moat, they would be shot with bows and arrows by the officers and soldiers patrolling outside the city.
There is no bandit army at the Fucheng Gate in the northwest gate, only a small group of people galloping back and forth.
In the north of the city, only the bandit soldiers were seen exploring horses, but no large army was seen. Chang Yu rode half a circle to the east city, and happened to meet Zhou Yuji and others who were patrolling the city.
