Chapter 40: The king humiliates his ministers and dies

When it was dawn, a large group of militias rushed to the north of Chengdu. They had no armor to defend themselves or weapons to kill the enemy. They were all farming iron tools in their hands. The teams of no less than ten thousand people were indeed crowded, but the formation was scattered and incompetent, and they were completely mobs.

The leaders riding on the horse were Qin Ye and Qin Cheng. They looked up at the high walls and strong walls of Chengdu. After looking at each other, they looked at the bridge hanging on the moat. After hesitating, they led the team around to the east gate of Chengdu and waited for Xu He's army.

The strategy for the process was to attack the north and the south, but when it really reached the foot of Chengdu, the Qin family retreated. They still had to join Xu He and have a regular army to take the lead so that they could feel more at ease.

More than 10,000 people were gathered for the rebellion of the Qin family. They were not registered and belonged to farmers who were privately kept by the large clans. All the income from farming was born to the clan. If a dispute arises and needs to be resolved by force, they would pick up iron tools and gather into private soldiers. They would be exploited in farming on weekdays and would not starve to death, but they would not eat enough for every meal. The farmers who were privately kept could not be reorganized and trained, and the nobles could not build weapons and armor to arm them privately. Military discipline and morale could only be a joke on them.

After arriving outside the east gate of Chengdu, Qin Ye and Qin Cheng ordered a rest. The militia threw iron tools on the ground, sat on the ground, and chatted and passed the time when they were bored.

They had to come because their lifeline was controlled by the powerful and prominent families. As for the consequences of their actions, no one could understand that this was the sorrow of the people at the bottom created by the times.

On the Chengdu city tower, Gao Shun, who was fully armed, looked at the more than 10,000 militias, always with a harsh expression. He said to Xi Zhicai beside him: "Military advisor, why not let me lead the army out of the city and defeat them first, otherwise when Xu He's army arrives, Xu He's troops will exceed 50,000."

Xi Zhicai didn't take the group of militia seriously at all. He persuaded Gao Shun to fight and said, "There are so many mobs that come to die. The camp cannot easily fight. If you fight, you must fight with one battle! You will definitely win and return when you fight, but the soldiers will be exhausted and exhausted, and it is better not to fight. After Xu and the army arrive, the camp will be the time to show their power."

After listening to Xi Zhicai's words, Gao Shun deeply agreed, allowing the soldiers to accumulate energy and calm their restless desire to fight.

The warm winter sunshine makes people feel energetic, but they are a bit lazy.

It was not until afternoon that Xu He led a large army outside Chengdu.

Seeing the mighty formation of Xu He's army from afar, Qin Ye and Qin Chengdu were shocked and shouted that the militia would get up and stand with iron tools. Don't be lazy and embarrassing.

The Chengdu border city tower had already found Xu He's army rushing overwhelmingly. Judging from its size, it was as good as the horse exploration a day ago, about 40,000.

Under Gao Shun's leadership, the camp was ready to fight in the city, gathered on the East Gate Avenue, with the cavalry vanguard and infantry then waited for Gao Shun's order to break out of the city.

Just as the soldiers held their breath and concentrated, all the women in white dress walked up to the city tower, with a young man in white behind him, guarding him with a solemn look in white.

Cai Yan, Zhen Jiang, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Diao Chan, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, and seven people came down to the city tower under the personal guards led by Xiao Ren and Xiao Yi. The soldiers on the inner avenue of the city tower had more or less heard of them. These should be the lord's wives and concubines, all of whom were as beautiful as immortals and extremely beautiful.

Standing on the city tower looking down at the east, Cai Yan hugged Guo Ye and whispered in his son's ear: "Ye'er, no matter what happens, you can't cry!"

What can a two-year-old child understand? But Guo Ye didn't change his expression when he looked at the scene outside the city. What his mother said, he just nodded. Whether he understood the meaning or not, and outsiders couldn't make it clear.

Turning around and handing Guo Ye to Xiao Ren, Cai Yan said to him in a deep voice with a serious expression: "Xiao Ren, if the city is broken, we females are not willing to die. Your lord may not have any wives and concubines, but this is his bloodline. I beg you to protect him and send him to Fengxiao."

Xiao Ren looked shocked, and under Cai Yan's firm gaze, he closed his eyes and nodded.

Turning around again, Cai Yan's expression was plain. After exchanging eyes with Xi Zhicai, he walked to the edge of the city tower with the other women, looking down at Xu He's army outside the moat.

Xu He's army had already reached the city, and he knew very well that Guo Jia was on the way to withdraw. Zhang Baiqi would rebel with him. He was not sure, so he had to fight quickly to destroy Chengdu. Besides, there were only Gao Shun's thousands of camps in Chengdu, so what should I be afraid of? In addition, the wealthy families in Chengdu cooperated with each other and major events could be decided.

The general guarding Chengdu was Gao Shun, but the general leader in political affairs was Xi Zhicai.

After returning to Chengdu again a few months later, Xu He was filled with emotion. At that time, he followed Guo Jia south to attack Yizhou. The most tragic war was the rest of the Yellow Turbans who came to fight.

During the battle of Dingjunshan, he and Sima Ku lost half of the 60,000 soldiers. Later, the fierce battles such as Jiameng Pass and attack on Chengdu were all the most rewarding for the remaining Yellow Turbans?

Guo Jia, how could you kill Sima Ju?

Qin Ye, Qin Cheng, Qin Wu and Qin family members were urging the siege of the city. Xu He was upset and shouted loudly: "Shut up your dog's mouth!"

The two generations of the Qin family couldn't bear it, but Xu He was the head coach. He attacked Chengdu. Xu He did not lead the troops to charge, and they did not dare to attack the city alone.

Before riding his horse, he wanted Xi Zhicai to open the city to surrender. Before Xu He could speak, he heard the woman's crisp and passionate voice coming from the city tower.

"Xu He! The lord treats you well, why do you rebel?"

When he looked up, he saw seven beauties who were studded with the whole country in the top of the city. Xu He recognized the accent of the speaker, Cai Yan, who gave birth to the eldest son for Guo Jia.

Xu He showed disdain and raised his head and said angrily: "Is Guo Jia still worthy of being the master? He lost in Jingzhou, why did he kill Sima Ju? How many great contributions did Sima Ju make to him? If I don't rebel, can I be worthy of the people of Taiping Dao? Are I worthy of the great wise mentor? Are I worthy of Sima Ju who has been in trouble with me for many years?"

Facing Xu He's accusation and clamor, Cai Yan stood proudly on the city wall and said righteously: "The lord killed Sima Ju, it must be that Sima Ju should be killed! He is a meritorious minister, but his merits cannot be defeated. How many people who hold their own merits and do evil will kill as many as they do! Today, have you decided to commit a rebellion? "

Xu He waved his hand back and said, "There are 50,000 troops behind me, all the siege equipment, and the soldiers work together. Chengdu, I can break through in the blink of an eye!"

A sneer appeared on the corner of my mouth, and Cai Yan asked, "Xu He, then I'll ask you again, what would I do if you break through Chengdu? What would happen to the wives and concubines of these lords around me? What would happen to the eldest son of my lord behind me?"

Now, Xu He looked hesitant. No matter what, Guo Jia was kind to him. Without Guo Jia, he still didn't know which barren mountain the remaining Yellow Turbans could survive. He could kill Guo Jia to avenge Sima Ju, but he had no son and grandson, and it seemed that he could not take action.

Before Xu He could answer, Qin Wu, not far behind him, whispered loudly: "Soldiers! Did you see it? As long as you break through Chengdu, whoever you grabs the beauties on the city tower will belong to whoever you get it!"

Xu He was shocked and turned around and glared, but found that many soldiers raised their weapons and agreed loudly.

There must be brave men under heavy rewards. Rewards are not just money, official titles, or beauties, but also great motivation.

Cai Yan, Zhen Jiang, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Diao Chan, Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao, these seven people stood at the top of the city, which made Xu He’s army stunned. Even if the Yizhou rich people were used to bullying men and dominating women, they had never seen such a stunning beauty, and they were not one.

This is the effect you want!

Cai Yan turned around and took a long sword from Xiao Yi's hand. With a clear sound, he pulled out the sword and pointed it at Xu He. He said with a cold face: "Xu He! I, Cai Yan, are your lord's wives and concubines. They are also your lord's wives and concubines. You encouraged your subordinates to try to defile your lord's family. I will tell you! I, Cai Yan, will stand here today. Even if you die, you will not let you succeed!"

He turned sideways and gave Xiao Ren who was holding Guo Ye out. Cai Yan continued to whisper: "Xu He! This is your lord's eldest son! Today, we mother and son will never live in secret and live and die with Chengdu! The lord's blood is here, do you dare to come and kill?"

The audience suddenly became silent. Xu and the army had probably never seen a woman dared to face tens of thousands of soldiers so bravely, and were shocked.

Zhen Jiang, who was standing next to Cai Yan, was not afraid at this time, but sighed in her heart: She is your well-deserved wife.

Xi Zhicai, who had been silent, stood behind, looked at Cai Yan's graceful back, narrowed his eyes and said, "Lord, in troubled times, this woman is a rare virtuous supporter. If you rule the world, this woman will never be in power."

With his eyes opened and his expression resolute, Xi Zhicai suddenly turned around and looked down at the soldiers of the camp on the road in the city. From the commander Gao Shun to the cavalry and infantry, he had already shown gritting his teeth and gritting his teeth.

Yesterday, they had already informed them of the reward after the war, for three years of food and salary!

A strong general is qualified to receive higher treatment than others.

"Did you hear it? The rebels outside the city don't even take the lord seriously. They want to bully the lord's family, and they want to let the lord die! Can we ignore it? Even the lord's family cannot be spared. Can our family be safe and sound? You are not only fighting for yourself, but also fighting for your family! Those who are ministers, the lord worry about the lord's ministers and suffer the lord's ministers and die! You are trapped in the camp, and the lord gives you the best. You are the bravest soldiers under the lord's command. At this moment, it is time for you to defend the reputation of the lord's camp! Are there anyone who wants to surrender but not fight?"

"No!"

Xi Zhicai's passionate pre-war mobilization made the soldiers of the camp show a ferocious look on their faces, and their majestic fighting spirit was surging.

"Open the city gate! Fight!"

Xi Zhicai waved his hand and the east gate of Chengdu slowly opened.

Gao Shun, who was standing on the horse, had no expression on his face and his eyes were sharp. When the city gate opened, the army outside the city saw Gao Shun leading the army, raised the long sword in his hand without looking back, and shouted in a deep voice.

"Stealing camp!"

The three thousand cavalry and three thousand infantrymen in the city spoke in unison, and the momentum was shocking!
