chapter 41

Zhang Chi didn't know the situation in Jiankang City, and was anxious and led the soldiers all the way. At this time, the north gate of Jiankang City was already in sight.

Seeing Zhang Chi's nervous expression, Santong smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, don't be anxious. Now that I have seen the city gate, I can't wait long to enter the city to see Miss Wang, which will relieve your lovesickness."

Of course, Santong was making fun of it, but everyone had no objection. If someone joked about the lady, Du Ximing would be the first one. But if the person who joked was Zhang Chi, it would be very different.

Everyone had already realized that Miss Wang had a different meaning for Zhang Chi. Moreover, Du Ximing had already admired Zhang Chi during this battle with Zhang Chi. Although he looked like a weak scholar on the outside, he defeated more with fewer people, and he really deserved to be called "Tian Ji".

Miss Wang is smart and unparalleled in the world. There are very few men who can match her. At this time, Du Ximing really hopes that Miss Wang and Zhang Chi will eventually get married.

"That's right, Miss Wang is good at strategizing, and even more so, it's impossible to stick to the city. I'd rather advise the young master to enter Shu early, just to make a big plan. Miss Wang worked hard to find a way out for the young master. You must not let the young master down." Master Han also said.

Du Ximing also nodded slightly.

Having said that, Zhang Chi always felt a little restless, as if he had some bad premonition, but he couldn't say what he felt. He could only take a long breath to relieve his depression in his chest and said, "I'd better go back to Jiankang to see the situation first, and go to Shuzhong."

While he was talking, Du Ximing raised his horse whip and pointed forward, saying, "Young master, look, there are soldiers in front of him who escaped from Jiankang City."

Looking around, the distance saw that the Jiankang city gate had been opened, and many defeated generals escaped from the city gate. Zhang Chi couldn't help but say, "No, there may be changes in the healthy city. Come with me to go up and interrogate." After that, Zhang Chi was about to let his horse go and catch up.

"You don't need to go there like this little thing, Brother Zhang," Santong said: "You are still stupid, you are joining the army, so why don't I go and ask on behalf of my brother."

After saying that, Santong rushed forward and rushed over to stop several deserters and interrogated them together.

After a moment, Santong rode back in panic. Before the horse could run to everyone, she shouted loudly: "Brother Zhang, it's really bad. Five Doks of Rice Dao rebelled and now he has captured Jiankang. Miss Wang is probably killed!"

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and it exploded among the crowd. Du Ximing certainly didn't believe it and said, "This is impossible. Miss Wang's wisdom is unparalleled in the world. How can Wu Dou Mi Dao's trick succeed?"

"I say the same, but those soldiers claimed to be the soldiers of Xie clan. According to them, the city gate was opened by the treasure of the kingdom, and the imperial guards outside the city entered the city. But who expected that General Canghuai was a member of the Five Doks of Rice Road. After slaughtering into the city, he first slaughtered the soldiers of Xie clan, and then killed Miss Wang, and now he is going to the palace."

"This must be a fake rumor!" Although Du Ximing had long been shocked, he was unwilling to admit it.

"It's true. The soldiers said that Miss Wang's body was still hung in front of the Suzaku Gate. Miss Wang was dead. This may really not be true anymore." Santong said.

Du Ximing had just heard that Miss Wang was dead, and he had already lost his composure in his heart. He had hoped that everyone would say something that he didn't believe would give him a glimmer of hope. But Santong said, "Miss Wang's body was still hung in front of the Suzaku Gate", destroying his hope bubble, and was furious: "Have you seen it with your own eyes? Miss Wang is extremely smart, how can she die?"

Santong was about to argue again, but Zhang Chi suddenly said, "Don't argue, whether it's true or not, let's go into the city and see!"

Although Zhang Chi was shocked when he heard this, he was much calmer than when he came to Jiankang City anxiously. Perhaps he had a bad premonition when he received Miss Wang's letter.

"The extreme eyes are the end of the world, we meet each other's homes. I travel thousands of miles away and plant pear blossoms here." Could this poem really become a precept for one sentence?

"Brother, do you really want to enter Jiankang City?" Ding Yizhi suddenly asked.

"That's natural." Zhang Chi asked back: "How can you know the situation in Jiankang City if you don't go in and see?"

"But now the whole world believes that you are the "sincere" of your brother. If the deserters say that, at this time, the city of Health is controlled by the Five Doks of Rice Dao. It is too late to kill your brother. How can you fall into the trap of your own brother?" Ding Yizhi persuaded.

Ding Yizhi said it right. Now Zhang Chi is going to enter Jiankang City with such a few people. If the situation in the city is really as the deserters said, then Zhang Chi is going to enter the city, which is actually no different from dying. So when Ding Yizhi finished speaking, everyone focused their attention on Zhang Chi.

Although Du Ximing was worried about Miss Wang's safety, it was difficult to persuade Zhang Chi to enter Jiankang at this time. Ding Yizhi was right. At this time, Du Ximing had already lost the ability to analyze problems rationally, and his eyes were staring at Zhang Chi for a moment to see what decision he made.

Zhang Chi also hesitated, but after thinking for a moment, he still said decisively: "Enter the city!"

"Brother," Ding Yizhi obviously wanted to persuade Zhang Chi again, and said, "If the situation in Jiankang City is really like this, Miss Wang has really encountered an unexpected situation. What can my brother do when he enters the city? If in my opinion, Miss Wang has already arranged a retreat for his brother, it is better to enter Shuzhong early and manage Xichuan early, so that he can make plans in the future. Be patient and then repay him. This is what the hero does."

The first thing Ding Yizhi did when encountering things was of course a rational analysis, which was actually very obvious. This was Zhang Chi's best way at present. It's a pity that what Zhang Chi lacked the most was calmness and reason. No matter what he did, Zhang Chi was just doing whatever he did. He never understood any forbearance.

Zhang Chi is not a wood, and Ms. Wang has a particularly good impression of Zhang Chi. How could Zhang Chi have no feelings? It’s just that he has just come to travel through time and has not yet integrated into this era at all. Many things are inevitably a little timid when he does. If he meets such a woman with unparalleled beauty and wisdom before he travels through time, how could he let a possible relationship pass away?

In fact, Zhang Chi had long had a good impression of Miss Wang, but only because he first came through time and Miss Wang had a special status, so he never took the initiative. Now that he heard that Miss Wang was dead, he understood the emotions in his heart.

Whether Miss Wang is dead or not, I am afraid he must go to Jiankang City to take a look before he is willing to do so.

What should I do and what should I not do? In Zhang Chi's opinion, it all depends on his temperament. If I don't enter Jiankang today, it wouldn't be me.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chikengqiang said: "Don't persuade me anymore. In my opinion, even if you fight on the battlefield and make meritorious deeds for fame and fortune, you are not a hero. But if you are willing to take risks for love and friendship, even if you are blood splattering on the spot, you are a hero!"

In Zhang Chi's view, even if he can become famous all over the world in the future or even be the founding king, his majesty at that time would not be as powerful as his magnificence when he said this! At least for him, this is a real hero.

This sentence is so powerful that Ding Yizhi naturally cannot persuade him anymore.

"Brother Zhang is indeed a good man who values ​​love and friendship," Santong clapped and shouted: "I just want to follow you to do such a happy revenge. Even if I die, I will not regret it!"

Santong is a loyal and straight-minded person. When he followed Zhang Chi, it was because Zhang Chi could come back regardless of life and death in front of the Hu cavalry. At this time, seeing that Zhang Chi was about to make such a decision again, Santong was of course the first to support him loudly.

But Du Ximing's heart was quite contradictory at this time.

He knew that if the situation in the city was indeed as the deserters said, Mr. Zhang would have been in danger of entering the city at this time.

Du Ximing was originally a general of the central army, so many things can be seen at a glance. Of course, he could see that from beginning to end, Miss Wang deliberately praised Mr. Zhang. Even though the world is in chaos now, Ms. Wang has prepared a way out for Zhang Chi to dominate the country.

Mr. Zhang is a poor scholar, but Ms. Wang has always promoted him to a position of being comparable to the heroes of the world. This shows how much Ms. Wang values ​​Mr. Zhang.

But now if Mr. Zhang dies in the city, wouldn’t he let down the lady’s hard work? Du Ximing respects the lady the most in his life. From this perspective, he really hopes that Mr. Zhang can enter Sichuan safely as the lady wishes, so that he can do something big in the future.

But on the other hand, he hoped that Zhang Chi could lead his troops into the city to see the situation. If he did not see Miss Wang's body, he would not believe that Miss Wang was dead.

Thinking of this, Du Ximing said: "Young Master is the commander of the three armies. How can you easily take risks? It is better for you to wait outside the city, and I will ride into the city one by one to see the situation. If the situation in the city is still salvageable, I will set fire on the top of the city. For one hour, if the young master sees the fire, he will enter the city. If there is no news, the young master will lead his army to occupy Shuzhong."

"Nonsense!" Zhang Chi cursed angrily: "You just think you are a hero, am I not a hero?"

"Even if the young master is ready to die, he should think about these brothers." Du Ximing said.

"What do you think? What do you think?" Santong couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Brother Zhang values ​​loyalty. We, as brothers, cannot pull our brothers back. Brother Zhang is a hero, so we, as brothers, must also be heroes!"

Daoxuan also expressed his opinion, "This is the reason. Killing people is just a matter of placing the ground. It is nothing more than entering Nirvana again. What's there to be afraid of?"

Seeing that the crowd was in high spirits, Du Ximing was moved, and looked at Ding Yizhi again and said, "Then Mr. Ding feels..."

"My brother values ​​righteousness so much. If I am greedy for life, how can I be worthy of being my brother's cousin?" Ding Yizhi said: "Besides, my brother has a life in heaven, which is the secret of heaven. Since my brother is not afraid, what's the scary about me?"

Since the words have reached this point, it is useless to say more, Du Ximing looked at everyone and said, "Miss Wang is indeed not wrong!"

"Since everyone has no objection, let's go to the city now." Zhang Chi ordered.

"Brother, be slow. Although you have to go to the city, you have to discuss countermeasures. Only by being prepared can you be free of trouble." Ding Yizhi said.

This is true. Although Zhang Chi is emotional, Zhang Chi will not do the matter of dying for nothing: "Did my cousin have some tricks?"

"We dare not take a clever plan. Let's talk about the situation in the Healthy City so that we can do some countermeasures." Ding Yizhi said.

After hearing Ding Yizhi say this, everyone felt it was reasonable and their eyes gathered on Ding Yizhi.

"The Jiankang city wall is solid. If Miss Wang is in the city and uses Xiejia troops to defend the city, even if the Five Doks of Mid Road has ten times the strength, she will not be able to enter the city." Ding Yizhi analyzed: "But if the deserters said it was true, someone must have designed to open the city gate and let people enter the city."

"It turns out that you haven't listened to me seriously," Santong said dissatisfied: "I didn't say it at the beginning, and the deserters said that it was the city gate opened by Miss Wang's father Wang Guobao."

"But why did Wang Guobao open the city gate and let people into the city?" Ding Yizhi asked.

Santong Yujie. Ding Yizhi continued: "Actually, if you want to know who is behind the scenes, there is the easiest way to see who will eventually get benefits. If the world is in chaos, only one person will benefit, that is, Huan Xuan of Jingzhou. Huan Xuan endured the plot, but he was unwilling to be the bird of the head. He just waited for the day of chaos in the world to rise up."

"But Huan Xuan is far away in Jingzhou, how can he know the situation in Healthy City?" Zhang Chi was puzzled.

"Huan Xuan is far away in Jingzhou, so he has to deal with others. This person is what I once mentioned to my brother, Che Yin, the general of the auxiliary country, was born in a cold state, so he had to study hard when he was young. When he was promoted by Huan Wen, he remembered the kindness of the Huan family. If we want to escape unstoppable, we may still have to do this person..."





After a while, everyone had finished discussing and then rushed into the city.

Although I had already found a countermeasure after hearing Ding Yizhi's analysis just now, everyone knew that five thousand people entered Jiankang City, facing hundreds of thousands of five-dove rice-dog army, and tens of thousands of imperial guards commanded by General Canghuai. The difference was huge. Even if it was a complete plan, it would inevitably be a fierce battle.

The previous few times won the more with less, but the difference is not too big after all, but this time, it is really a life-long battle.

Before the army arrived at the city gate, the guards on the city tower had already drawn their bows. The situation in Jiankang City is now chaotic, so it is no wonder that these guards were cautious. A general shouted on the city tower: "Where are you from?"

Zhang Chi rode his horse out and shouted to the guards on the city wall: "We are under the Imperial Army, and we are under the command of General Canghuai. I am the army of Zhang Chi. He was ordered to repel the Northern Palace Army and now he returns to the city to report."

The thousands of people under Zhang Chi were indeed soldiers named by Du Xi after betting with General Canghuai in Canghuai's army. Zhang Chi's current official title is also a new army, and he is indeed a subordinate of General Canghuai. He told the truth, but there was no lie.

The defenders on the city were no longer the soldiers of Xie's clan. After General Canghuai entered the city and killed Miss Wang, he seized the city gates on all sides. Now the defenders at the city gates have long been the new army commanded by General Canghuai.
