Chapter 403 Destiny to meet

In the Han Wangjun camp, the boring and repeated noise of sawing wood kept ringing. The sergeant carrying the wood was also shouting in a very neat and rhythmic manner. People were logging and carrying wood, building Huihui cannons and cloud ladders, and there was a busy scene on all sides.

The general of the escort who knew the inside story of the army had advised Zhu Gaoxu not to make weapons. But Zhu Gaoxu replied: If we surrounded the city but did not build tools to attack the city, it would be equivalent to telling Guo Zi that we were determined to seize the city by relying on our inner support!

Before Mu Sheng's army reached the west of the city, Zhu Gaoxu's troops had already surrounded Chengdu on all sides. He mobilized troops every day and attacked the city wall with long-range weapons such as bows, crossbows, copper muskets, and bowl guns.

Nearly a hundred steps away from the city wall, rows of soldiers stood in line, with torches and charcoal in front of them, and everyone lit the oil cloth wrapped around the arrowheads. Amid the shouts of the generals, the heavy infantry in the guns, shields, and the strings behind them sounded "crackling".

The black smoke in the air was heavy, and the dense rockets flew towards the city like fireflies. The sound of cannons "Boom boom boom!" was intermittent, and the smoke of gunpowder rolled up and down the city wall, and the fire was shining.

"Neal..." The war horses were tragic neighing from a distance, and a cannon shot fell into the cavalry, causing a little turmoil. But the large cavalry formation remained unmoved. The soldiers stood quietly next to the horses with the reins, looking at the closed city gate in the distance.

Zhu Gaoxu looked back and saw that the military formation was nothing strange. He remembered that when he talked to Mu Sheng before, Mu Sheng said that some chieftain troops could be defeated in just a few rounds of artillery attacks; but the army of the Ming Dynasty's garrison was not so bad, and everyone was familiar with firearms and would not be easily scared.

Both sides used bows, crossbows and firearms to shoot each other. The formation was spectacular, and the sound of cannons was deafening, but the effect was not great. At this time, the long-range weapons had limited lethality after a distance of 100 steps, and could only slowly consume each other's troops.

After this was spent in the afternoon, Zhu Gaoxu sent someone to send orders, and the troops retreated one after another and returned to the camp two miles away...

It will take several days to build a few heavy weapons, and the Han Wang army was unable to launch an effective attack on Chengdu City. But before dawn the next day, Zhu Gaoxu ordered the troops to gather troops and form a formation to approach the city wall to use the same trick again.

Zhu Gaoxu rode on the horse and stared at the city gate for a long time, and he couldn't help but become more and more panicked. His heart was hanging, worried about any unexpected problems that might appear inside!

When contacting and planning, the secret is leaked? Or is the Prince of Huayang and Wan Quan a person with no courage?

Zhu Gaoxu sat on the horse with an expressionless face, thinking about those things over and over again. He was lucky: I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and I didn't say that I would not give anyone a way to live. There is no need for the military and civilians in Chengdu to defend the siege. As long as some people organize their backs, there will definitely be changes!

The key is organization. Even in the late Yuan Dynasty, countless people could no longer survive, and a group of people such as Taizu of the Ming Dynasty must use the name of religion to gather people to organize them, and geniuses will become...

Suddenly, the south city gate in the distance seemed to move. Zhu Gaoxu immediately held his breath, reached out and rubbed his eyes, stared at it for a while, and the city gate was really slowly opening!

"Cabinets get on the horse!" Zhu Gaoxu turned around and shouted, "All cavalrymen will rush to the city gate!"

The troops were immediately in an uproar, and shouts came one after another. The soldiers turned over the horses and their horses started. The horses in front jogged for a while and soon began to accelerate their sprints. The cheerful horses' hooves were endless.

The city gate has gradually opened, and the suspension bridge fell on the moat with a "bang". Shouts kept coming from the city gate: "It is better to commit suicide in the lonely city than to commit suicide in Han!" "It is better to commit suicide in Han than to commit suicide in the lonely city than to commit suicide in Han..." Hou Hai and others were very attentive in their work. After hearing this conjunction, they must have thought about it in advance.

Countless Han Wang cavalry kept rushing in through the city gate, and the same scene was repeated at the ancient city gate, with the noise and noise shook the earth. When Zhu Gaoxu saw such a scene, the heart hanging in the air fell slightly, and he exhaled a long breath.

Once Chengdu City is captured, the entire Sichuan Provincial Administration Office will be basically stable! After all, this is a battle within the Zhu family, and the resistance of most people is difficult to be tenacious. People who are in charge of the power will probably just listen to whoever is in charge.

"Those who abandon the weapons and squat down will surrender and avoid death!" The generals in the Han Wang army shouted, and the cavalry soldiers shouted together. The infantry and cavalry who had just reinforced him saw a large number of iron cavalry rushing in, and there were "ding ding clatters" everywhere, and countless surrenders. The generals of the official army could not stop them at all, and even many generals surrendered.

"Crack, scratch, scra..." The infantry outside the city gate trotted in columns and soon arrived at the door.

Zhu Gaoxu, with his personal guards, rushed into the city gate first in front of the infantry. As soon as he entered, he heard the majestic sound of footsteps colliding with iron armor, and saw a large number of official infantry soldiers on a cross street.

However, when the Han Wangjun army also came in, the officials, soldiers and horses stopped one after another.

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and shouted, "Brothers from Sichuan Guards, why can you follow me in Annan Kingdom? Think about our invincible scenery!"

"Ding Ding Bang Bang..." Immediately, a large group of people threw away the weapons at the same time.

At this moment, Hou Hai, Wan Quan and a young man in a group of dragon uniforms came over with a group of military men. They bowed to Zhu Gaoxu on the horse.

Zhu Gaoxu pointed to Hou Hai and said, "Hou Dianzhao, you have done a good job and made great contributions. Now you will be the Left Chief Secretary of the Han Palace."

Hou Hai hurriedly said, "Thank you, the prince, for the cultivation!"

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at Wan Quan again: "We are destined to be, General Wan will continue to work with me!"

Wan Quan was also busy thanking him.

Zhu Gaoxu then glanced at the young man in that face: "Brother is the Prince of Huayang?" The young man in the group dragon costume held a tribute and said, "I greet my cousin." Zhu Gaoxu said happily: "What Hou Hai promised you is what I mean, and I will definitely fulfill it!"

...In the lobby of the Sichuan Provincial Government Office, Guo Zi was wearing a red official uniform and sat steadily on the seat, with imperial edicts and seals placed in front of him. The civil and military officials in the lobby were scattered one after another, and the huge room of the official office seemed empty and particularly desolate.

After a while, many soldiers came in and surrounded the lobby. Then some people went straight to the desk next to them and searched for official documents. In this scene, Guo Zi had the illusion that he had become a soul and no one could see him.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu, a burly man wearing heavy armor and long weapons, walked to the door of the lobby. Zhu Gaoxu looked up at the seat and said, "Guobutang, why are you still sitting there? Get out quickly!"

Guo Zidao: "This official is an official appointed by the court..."

Zhu Gaoxu interrupted him violently: "It's not that the Zhu family has given you, can you still ride on my head?"

Guo Zi was speechless and had to walk down from the seat. However, he stood there with his head rudely raised his head, not wanting to bow to the King of Han at all.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him and asked, "Has Xue Lu ran away?"

Guo Zi refused to answer silently.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't continue to ask, and walked to the door of the chanting hall behind. He turned around and said, "Please invite Guobutang to Qintang behind to speak. I have a few words and I have wanted to ask a long time ago."

The two of them sat in the Qintang. The noisy and messy outside seemed to have become much quieter. Behind the wall, Zhao Ping wrapped his hands in front of his chest, spreading his legs and stood silently staring at Guo Zi. Apart from that, there was no one else.

Zhu Gaoxu asked straight away: "A few months ago, what trap was hidden in the Wenlou Building?"

Guo Zi said nothing.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Guobutang, I am still polite to you?"

Guo Zi quickly spoke: "The things given by Monk Qingyuan and the ideas that Yuan Gong came up with."

"Oh!" Zhu Gaoxu slapped his forehead, "In the Jingnan Campaign, I quietly went to the capital to see Li Jinglong. The mysterious fragrance I used was made by the monk Qingyuan!" He glared at Guo Zi, "You guys are so vicious!"

Guo Zi said: "No one dares to hurt the life of the King of Han because he is worried that you will rebel. Now it is true."

Zhu Gaoxu said: "What have you done with your group of people, and the Eastern Palace Party and Yu? Guo Butang wrote it truthfully, and I will spare you and let you go. I am a very credible person, and I will do what I say." Of course, he never talked about credibility a long time ago, so there was nothing I could do about it. And too many people in the world didn't talk about it. Now, after whitewashing, he feels that he can be forgiven.

Guo Zi said calmly: "The King of Han should believe that the death of the late emperor is definitely not related to the emperor and the Eastern Palace! Before the emperor ascended the throne, he was already the crown prince; the common people would not do such beastly things, let alone the crown prince?

Not to mention that the emperor is definitely not the other person, even the ministers and officials of the Eastern Palace dare not plan for the crime of killing the king and killing their father? I know that the King of Han is different from ours and dislikes us; but you also know that the ministers of the court are all people who are knowledgeable about books and rituals, and they are still very virtuous and literary."

It was indeed a man full of ink and bad water. Before Zhu Gaoxu could force him to confess, he convinced the person... Zhu Gaoxu refused to admit it, but felt that Guo Zi was quite reasonable.

The possibility of the death of the late emperor Zhu Di was not high. The prince just wanted to kill Zhu Gaoxu, but this was true!

Zhu Gaoxu ignored it and pondered: "The articles written by Yang Rong are all nonsense, all of which are slanderous lies! Let me tell me what happened in the palace before and after the death of the late emperor?"

Guo Zi kept silent and looked ahead with dull eyes, as if he had lost consciousness.

Zhu Gaoxu hummed and thought to himself: You are still alive after the city is broken, it seems that you don’t want to die.

After thinking about it, he stood up and said, "Since Guobutang has fallen into my hands, I have my own way to ask you to speak."

Guo Zi said: "What the King of Han said is so true. If I fall into your hands, it will inevitably be a warning. What can such a confession confirm?

Zhu Gaoxu said to Zhao Ping: "Correction Guo Zi, don't make things too difficult for him. Unless otherwise absolutely, I will give you some basic face. I hope Guo Butang will not humiliate himself!"
