Chapter 188 Gaoyou

It is no wonder that Zhang Jiusi and others did not dare to stroke Zhu Bayiyi tiger beard. After half a day of winning the treasure, he put in the incense sticks down Fanshui. How many people in the world dare to go against his storm? Even though they had been confident in vowing to capture Zhu Butcher alive outside Gaoyou City, Qi Zhedu, the left chief of the Jiangbei Province of the Mongolian Yuan, who had received the news, was completely confused. They sat in the yamen every day, as nervous as an ant on a hot pan.

"The bandit army is coming in full force, why don't the Zuo Cheng ask for help from Yangzhou? Ask the King of Zhennan to send troops to rescue? The two sides join forces to compete with the butcher Zhu. It is better to be better than defending each of them in the city and being defeated by the butcher Zhu one by one?" At this moment, the prefect Li Qi lost his confidence. Seeing Qi Zhedu's face frowning, he came to him and whispered to him.

"Yes, yes! The bandits are powerful, so you should make plans early!" Qi Zhedu's confidant general, Hui Huiren Nasuozhe Ding, also came forward and whispered to Li Qi.

Three lines of defense, the first two lines of defense were stabbed through by Huai'an Red Turban, but the expected general Dong Tuanxiao was still on the south bank of the Yangtze River. If you don't find someone to help quickly, when the butcher Zhu and his troops arrived, everyone will be dead.

"Oh, you don't know anything!" The left prime minister of the Henan Province of Jiangbei Province in the Mongolian Yuan sighed and shook his head and said, "If I can join forces with King Boluo, why should I ask Dong Tuanxiao for help across a big river? Let's go down and be busy with their own affairs. I don't need to mention this idea!"

"This?" The prefect Li Qi moved his mouth and swallowed what he wanted to say back into his stomach. As far as he knew, the left prime minister of Jiangbei Province in Henan Province, Qi Zhedu, was a rare sensible person. He was not only proficient in military tactics, familiar with government affairs, but also had a magnificent demeanor. He was definitely not a person who ignored national affairs because of his small gratitude and grudges.

"The King of Zhennan, Boluo Buhua, who was guarding Luzhou, is his uncle and nephew, while the King of Weishun, Kuanche, who was guarding Wuchang, is his brother." Seeing everyone's confusion, Qi Zhedu, the left prime minister of Jiangbei Province in Henan Province, sighed and added in a low voice, "Five years ago, Jiqing thief started, and Boluo Buhua attacked him. Then he and Wang Kuanche, Buhua, fought against the thief Wu Tianbao in Jingzhou, and the court had no rewards. Last year, the thief general Ni Wenjun and Chen Youliang attacked Wuchang, but the court did not send a soldier to rescue him. This year, because Kuanche, Buhua, lost Wuchang, seized his throne, and sentenced his son to the prison to the death. Thanks to Kuanche, who took the money and went through the queen's way, he was spared from his death and changed to a meritorious service in the crime."

"Hiss--!" Li Qi and Nasuo Ting both sucked in the air, unable to say a word for a long time.

This court was too harsh to the King of Zhennan family. Even the generals surrendered had never seen such a cruel thing. After winning the battle, they were not rewarded, and after losing the battle, they would pursue it to the end. No wonder King of Zhennan Boluo watched Zhu Bashiyi struggle in Huai'an without any wits, but it seemed that he had nothing to do with him, and he was unwilling to give up any strength.

While he was secretly sighing in his heart, he heard Qi Zhe say quietly, "Your Majesty was confused when he was young, so his mind was inevitably more cautious about people. Moreover, there have been rumors in the early years that the Prime Minister Boyan has always favored Boluo Buhua. After careful calculation, Boluo Buhua, Timur Buhua and Kuanche Buhua are also the direct bloodline of His Majesty the Emperor! Alas!"

"Hiss, ah--!" Li Qi and NasuTing took a breath again. After a while, they could not close their mouths.

In terms of position, they are also considered fourth-rank officials. However, they rarely hear about the secrets and anecdotes involving the royal family and have no courage to inquire. Today, I never know whether Qi Zhedu was in a mess or for the purpose of winning over the country, but he actually brought out the secrets between the Mongolian royal family without reservation.

The most ruthless imperial family. This sentence is almost common in the east and west, and is common in all ethnic groups in the world. Therefore, without careful consideration, Li Qi and Nasuladin knew that Yangzhou could not send a soldier. With the morale and strength of the current defenders, it is a dream to persevere until Dong Tuanxiao arrives.

"You two don't have to worry too much!" Knowing that Li Qi and Nasuladin didn't want to be loyal to the country so early, Qi Zhedu, the left prime minister of Jiangbei Province in Henan Province, smiled miserably and said in a low voice, "I have sent my confidant to get off the ship at Ximen Preparation. If something goes wrong, I will retreat from Gaoyou Lake with you. Even if I am punished by the court, I have to take the thief army out of the city so quickly, so that the local government can be wary of it early!"

"Let's wait, I'm willing to fight to protect my lord!" Li Qi, Nasulading and others were moved and sad, bowed and responded loudly.

Before Zhu Bashiyi, no one had such a sharp attack. He broke the city one day and one night, half a day, and a stick of incense to break the city. From Huai'an to Baoying and then to Fanshui, the city defense that had caused the attackers to be extremely troubled in the eyes of Zhu Butcher, it seemed that it did not exist at all. It would be understandable that Huai'an City was broken because of negligent defense of drainage ditches. Baoying and Fanshui Village were both a bit incredible. Those two places, since the fall of Huai'an, had installed countless iron cage gates on the drainage canal at the first time. Even if Zhu Butcher, holding the peerless magic weapon, could not have cut all the iron gates in the blink of an eye.

Obviously, in addition to artillery, Zhu also created a new weapon to break the city. It has never been seen by anyone in the past and has never been recorded in history. The defeated soldiers who escaped from Baoying City did not know what it was, but said that the thief army dispatched a huge and strong armored car that could walk on its own. What was hidden under the armored car and why it made the eastern wall of Baoying City collapse like tofu, but no one could understand.

It may not be bombed by gunpowder. After Suzhou was breached, Qi Zhedu had seen the news that the remaining soldiers and defeated generals reported it with their own eyes. According to them, the entire section of the wall of Suzhou City flew into the air with a loud "boom". This time, according to the defeated soldiers who escaped from Baoying City, Baoying City was destroyed in a series of muffled thunder. The city wall collapsed directly below, instead of flying upwards. The scope of the impact was limited to the city wall between the two horses, and the range less than one meter away from the city wall. Even further away, even dirt was not splashed.

"The demonic method, Zhu Tuhu uses the demonic method! Beizhi, Beizhi can swear to the sky, and see Zhu Tuhu on stage with his own eyes, stepping on the seven stars." The centurion who ran back to report the message was pale and swearing.

"Put it out and behead it!" Before the other party could finish his words, Qi Zhedu ordered the man to be sentenced to death.

Qi Zhedu did not believe in gods and Buddhas, so he did not believe that there were any demons in this world. Even if there were, he had to see the magic casting process of the demon Zhu Butuhu with his own eyes, and then report it to the court, so that the court could find great monks to find a way to solve it. Therefore, he could accept strategic failures and abandon the city to escape. However, he could not allow himself to escape without even fighting Zhu Butuhuhu with face.

He had to fight, even though he knew he could not defeat him, he had to fight Zhu Tuhuo once. Only by figuring out the true details of the other party could he leave Gaoyou. This was his duty as a minister and his pride as a Mongolian. Genghis Khan swept thousands of miles back then, but he was not relying on the cowards who lie on the merit book of ancestors in the city to make a fuss. Those people no longer had the taste of Mongolians. However, he has not forgotten the glory of his ancestors and still has this pride firmly engraved in his heart.

"No, the Red Trouble is here, and the Butcher Zhu is here to attack the city!" Suddenly, a panic scream came from outside the door, causing the tragic atmosphere in the room to collapse instantly.

"Ah!" The prefect Li Qi immediately went to the weapon rack to grab the sword. Deputy Wanhunasu stabbed Ding Ze to draw out the scimitar and stepped forward to protect Qi Zhedu behind him. "Sir, don't panic, I will take you out. Julio, Toha, you two will go outside the door to prepare horses immediately! Halajin, you can control Ximen quickly."

"Yes!" Deputy Wanhu Nasu's three sons agreed in unison and ran out. Before they could run to the door of the mansion, they "gummed" and collided with Lu Shouyi, the commander who was rushing in.

"Great, sir!" The commander of the thousand-time men, Lu Shouyi, did not bother to stand up and lie on the ground to report loudly, "Zhang, Zhang Shicheng, Zhang Shicheng is back. Zhang Shicheng is back with the team and is asking to enter the city outside the east gate!"

"Zhang, Zhang Shicheng? Are you talking about Zhang Jiushisi?" Qi Zhe, who had already made the worst plan, took a lot of effort before Zhang Shicheng came from. He frowned and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, it's Zhang Jiusi!" Lu Shouyi gasped for a few breaths and continued to report loudly, "There are also Li Bosheng, Zhang Jiusi's younger brother Zhang Shide, Zhang Jiuliu, Lu Zhen, Pan Yuanming, Qu Qiming and others, all of them are back! And, with more than 5,000 brothers!"

"Ah!" Hearing this, Qi Zhedu, the left prime minister of Jiangbei Province in Henan Province, was stunned, sad and happy.

As the saying goes, the strong wind knows the strong grass. At this critical moment, even the Mongolian officials in the city secretly packed their luggage and were ready to take a boat to escape to Yangzhou at any time. As a thousand new recruits who had only been enlisted for more than two months, Zhang Shicheng actually gathered so many soldiers and horses to help the battle. How can this loyalty not be touching?

But the prefect Li Qi was more cautious than Qi Zhedu. Before the other party ordered the city gate to be opened, he stood up and asked loudly, "Which direction did Zhang Shicheng come from? Can the military appearance be neat? Behind him, will there be pursuers appear?"

"No!" Lu Shouyi, the commander of the thousand-time men, thought for a while and shook his head vigorously. "Qi reported to the prefect, Zhang Shicheng ran back from the northeast direction. The team was dragged for a long time, and there were no pursuers behind him!"

"Yes!" Qi Zhedu immediately realized what Li Qi was reminding him, frowned and pondered in a low voice. Before he could decide whether to accept Zhang Shicheng's loyalty, a military man over eight feet high rushed into the door. "Puch!" Kneeling to the ground, cried, and crawling forward, "Sir, please be kind, be kind, save my two brothers. The last general, the last general, the last general, are willing to follow the two brothers in the family forever, and will never regret it! Sir, how can you be kind!"
