Chapter 104: The city is closed

As the last soldier who reported the message left, Zhang Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that an accident would lead to the failure of the plan.

Now, all the three troops sent out have completed the task.

"No, I can't relax my vigilance now. I will be foolproof when the third brother brings people."

Zhang Rui knew that before Zhang Ji brought people here, he had to hide the whole city.

At the same time, more than 20,000 people in the city did not know that their county magistrates and wealthy and powerful local people were all under house arrest.

...

The next day, it was dawn and the earth was deafening.

The people who woke up in the city got up, put on their clothes, pushed open the door and walked out, wanting to see where the sound came from.

The people came out and looked at their neighbors, not understanding where the sound came from.

On the other side, the soldiers guarding the city and pedestrians outside the city who were about to enter the city looked ahead with surprise.

The endless cavalry came towards them rumbled.

When they were about to reach the city gate, these cavalrymen were like one person, parked fifty steps away at the city gate.

"Lelin, send a team of people in and take a look. If nothing happens, the army will enter the city."

It was Zhang Ji who spoke.

Yesterday, Zhang Ji rode his horse and rushed to the mountain camp before nightfall.

Tell the military order of Zhang Rui to mobilize his troops and the other two who were having supper.

The two were shocked, and then they discussed and asked Lelin to take the three thousand elite cavalry to set off first.

Xu Gai followed closely behind with the remaining 7,000 people.

Zhang Le and the other two rushed forward with the three thousand elite cavalry and finally arrived in Zitong before dawn.

With Le Lin's order, a ten-person knight rode out of the battle, and everywhere he passed, he was in chaos.

When the soldiers guarding the gate saw this, they threw away the spear in their hands, turned around and ran into the city gate.

Seeing this, the ten horses behind him shouted, and the horses under their seats used all their strength to gallop towards the city gate.

When he entered the city gate, he found that there was no ambush, so the leader Shi Chang pointed out one of his men and reported from the city gate.

After a while, three thousand elites rode into the city, and these people ran around the city with long spears and short swords.

The residents in the city were deeply hurt, but when they saw the dead people who were killed by them, they could only endure this anger.

Besides, Zhang Le and the other two went to Zhang's house to meet Zhang Rui.

When Zhang Rui learned that they were coming, he got up from the bed and shouted. This time, the two girls woke up. They opened their confused eyes and looked at the man beside him with dissatisfaction.

Zhang Rui smiled and leaned over and kissed them heavily at the seductive lips of the two.

After kissing, they put on their clothes and got out of bed, leaving only the bulging faces behind them.

"Go to sleep!"

Rulan saw Zhang Rui go out and yawned and said to Minglan.

Then he stretched out his pink arms and wrapped around Minglan's slender waist. Minglan closed her eyes and started to feel relieved.

Zhang Rui came to the main hall of the outer house, and Zhang Le and the other two stood up to say hello.

Zhang Rui nodded and responded, sat down, looked at the two of them, and said, "Lelin, let's continue to block the city gates from today, and you are allowed to enter and not leave."

"Zhang Ji, bring a thousand people to the schoolyard to find Du Shi and ask him to help you conquer a thousand Song soldiers."

After Zhang Rui finished speaking, the two of them answered in unison.

Then, the two of them left Zhang's mansion without eating.

After dinner, Zhang Rui took his people to the county government.

...

Lelin was very efficient and went out and ordered the soldiers to close the city gate.

But this aroused resentment from the people who wanted to leave the city, and they gathered together to rush out of the city.

Unfortunately, a large number of people died and they calmed down.

Although there are some conflicts, it is harmless.

On the other hand, Zhang Ji encountered difficulties. A thousand Song soldiers at the school ground learned that they were surrounded by others and took up their weapons to confront them.

If it cannot be solved, a bloody battle is inevitable.

Zhang Ji looked at the Song Jun opposite and shouted: "The whole city is controlled by us. If we want to survive, there is only one way. Throw away the swords and guns in our hands and surrender to us."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Song army opposite began to get in chaos.

If someone hadn't suppressed it, I'd probably have thrown away the swords and guns in my hand and ran towards Zhang Ji's side long ago.

"General, what should I do now?"

The deputy general beside him looked at the silent square-faced general with a panic look on his face.

The general's surname is Zhang Mingxiong. At this time, Zhang Xiong looked at Cai calmly, but he smiled bitterly in his heart.

If there are strong enemies outside, the morale of our own army is unstable.

No matter how you fight, you have no chance of winning.

Just as he was in a dilemma, Du Shi, who was standing beside him, came forward and advised, "General, the matter has come to this point. Please surrender them for the lives of you and your subordinates."

When Zhang Xiong heard this, he looked at him dissatisfiedly. It turned out that you would not feel hurt when you stood up and talked. What if the court destroyed this group of bandits and soldiers in the future settled the score?

When Zhang Xiong saw the panicked faces of his subordinates, he sighed deeply. Although he was not afraid of death, these people had been following him for almost two years.

"This general, I can surrender, I can only let these people behind me go home."

After thinking about it over and over again, Zhang Xiong agreed with Du Shi's proposal.

"Okay, as long as you put down the weapons and armor in your hand, you can let them go." Zhang Ji was overjoyed and directly agreed to his conditions.

Seeing that he agreed to his conditions, Zhang Xiong turned around to face these subordinates and said, "Brothers, have you heard it? If you want to leave here, hand over the weapons in your hands and take off your armor."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than 600 Song soldiers followed his instructions, threw away their weapons in a few seconds, took off their armor and left here.

More than 400 people still remembered that their old master did not want to leave, so they knelt on one knee and said in unison: "Search the general to the death!"

Zhang Xiong was very moved, but his life and death were in the hands of others and could not protect them at all.

He wanted these people to leave him, but no matter how he persuaded them, they just couldn't get up.

At this time, Zhang Ji stepped forward and said, "Since they don't want to leave, they will follow you in the future."

"This..." Zhang Xiong looked at him in disbelief.

When Zhang Ji saw him, he smiled and said, "You thought I was going to kill you, so I was too worried. Now our great cause is not fulfilling, it is time to use people."

"Okay, go see someone with me, and you will know then."

Then Du Shi asked these people to arrange them, and he took Zhang Xiong to see Zhang Rui.

There is an episode here. Afterwards, Zhang Xiong learned that Du Shi had long been Zhang Ji's father-in-law, and he was upset with his hands in his arms.

For a time, Zhang Xiong disliked Du Shi very much, and of course, as time passed, he had long forgotten.
