Chang Yu closed his eyes and rested his mind. After a while, the sky turned dark and night fell.
Fang San walked to the couch with a bowl of hot mutton soup: "Mr. Factory, do you want to eat?"
Chang Yu glanced at him and said, "San, can you give me a different trick?"
“Change, change”
Fang San smiled mysteriously and said softly: "This bowl is sheep whip soup. It is carefully brewed. It is very tonifying!"
Cough, cough, cough, Chang Yu almost carried it in one breath: "It's paralyzed. It needs to be replenished with blood. Why don't you get a sheep whip for me? If it's hard, I'll fuck you!"
Fang San was dumbfounded by the scolding: "If adults want to, I can bear it." He said with a shy look!
"roll!"
Chang Yu shouted loudly, startling Zhou Tianpeng and other personal guards who were on duty downstairs. Just as he was about to go upstairs to check, Fang San hurried down, still trying to suppress a smile on his face.
Just after Xu Shi arrived (at seven o'clock in the evening), Zhou Yuji came in with a serious look on his face: "The bandit army began to mobilize troops towards the east gate, and there were at least 20,000 people watching the fire."
Another half an hour later, he reported: "There are also bandits camping in the west, at least 20,000 of them!"
Chang Yu was a little surprised when the intruder mobilized his troops late at night, but it was also expected.
Zhou Yuji quickly convened civil and military forces to discuss countermeasures, and asked Chang Yu's opinion whether to go out of the city to intercept.
Chang Yu's suggestion is that the bandit army chose to mobilize its troops at night to prevent the officers and soldiers from leaving the city to intercept them, but it cannot be ruled out that they deliberately lured the officers and soldiers out of the city at night.
In any case, the strategy of dividing the troops and sieging the city must be implemented, and if the officers and soldiers cannot stop it, then let it be.
After Zhou Yuji discussed with a kind of civil and military forces, he felt that what Chang Yu said was reasonable, but he didn't want the rebels to easily bypass the trench formation in the south and divide their forces to encircle things. But for a while, he couldn't think of an excellent way to retaliate, so he could only He stared at the rebels on the city as they dispatched their troops and generals, and ordered the patrol team on duty below the city to stand ready.
"He won't attack the city tonight," Chang Yu muttered to himself as he lay flat on his back and looked at the roof. He suddenly felt very tired. He seemed to be able to sense Li Zicheng's mind: He was very tired too!
"I'm so tired, I'll have a good rest and I'll attack the city tomorrow." In the bandit camp in the south of the city, Li Zicheng issued the order to mobilize troops, left the rest to the military advisor and others, and then went back to his account to rest.
However, he was tossing and turning on the couch, unable to fall asleep, even though he felt physically and mentally exhausted at this time!
This state is very abnormal. It has not happened for many years. It only happened many years ago when I was surrounded by officers and soldiers and fled in panic. Could it be...
A bad feeling arose in my heart, but I couldn't explain why. The despicable look of that dead eunuch came to mind!
It was necessary to kill this beast as soon as possible, Li Zicheng thought silently in his heart, as if only killing Chang Yu would make him feel at ease.
Chang Yu's shoulder fracture was in extreme pain. Even though he had extraordinary healing abilities, the pain still made him grit his teeth and make it difficult to sleep. It wasn't until the second half of the night that the pain subsided and he fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes, he vaguely saw Zhu Shenxuan's face only a foot away from him. He sat up in excitement and covered his chest with his hands: "You, you didn't do anything to our family, right?".
Zhu Shenxuan rolled his eyes and really wanted to strangle him. He took a long breath: "I heard that you were injured. Hey, why are you so willful in the face of a powerful enemy? Don't you know that you have already become a thorn in the eyes of the thieves?" It would be better for you to kill you quickly. If someone hooks their fingers, you will be so fascinated that you hold your head and send it over..."
"Who said our family was injured?"
Chang Yu waved his left hand, his shoulder ached slightly, but it was no more serious than yesterday, and he was overjoyed. This body is so awesome!
Um... Zhu Shenxuan, who was still complaining about Chang Yu, looked stunned: "No, didn't you say that you were shot by the rebel archer..."
"It's an injury, but it's not as serious as the rumors say." Chang Yu chuckled and then changed the topic: "Come here early in the morning. Do you have any good news to tell our family?"
"Early in the morning?"
Zhu Shenxuan opened his mouth wide: "It will be noon soon."
As he spoke, he stood up suddenly: "Those misers really won't shed tears until they see the coffin, they are all iron cocks!"
"Why, no money?" Chang Yu frowned.
Zhu Shenxuan glanced at Chang Yu and snorted coldly: "One of them wants money and the other refuses to give money. What can I do? When you sealed the city and didn't allow anyone to leave, I still had bad words for you, but now I I can’t applaud you, you’re doing the right thing, even if you have a knife on your neck, these iron roosters are still so stubborn, it’s okay, let’s all die together!”
Seeing the indignant look on his face, Chang Yu secretly laughed, thinking that you were also a bitch in history, not necessarily much better than these wealthy gentry. It's just that this guy has been darkened by himself during this period, and he has figured it out.
"No matter how stingy you are, you can't really be free of money, at least you have to pay for the drinks in the palace," Chang Yu stood up and said.
"Hey, can I let them walk out of the palace without paying for the drinks?" Zhu Shenxuan's face showed a hint of pride: "I invited forty-eight gentry in the city, big and small, and charged 260,000 for drinks."
What a fuck! Chang Yu sighed, those who could be invited to drink by the King of Jin were naturally famous people in Taiyuan City. Who could not have a huge family fortune, but now the average person is only five thousand taels!
You really need money rather than your life. Historically, after Li Zicheng broke into Taiyuan, he made a huge profit by robbing dozens of people and nearly one million yuan. At that time, most of the rich people had already left the city to take refuge.
"It doesn't matter, ant legs are also meat. Two hundred thousand yuan can temporarily last for a while." Chang Yu said while washing: "Think of ways to make them vomit slowly. Even if you dig them bit by bit, you have to make them lose their speed." Meat".
"Why are you digging? You're robbing me!" Zhu Shenxuan said angrily.
"Hey, the prince's method is good. You can give it a try, but we suggest you keep a low profile and rob secretly. Doing it openly will damage the reputation of the palace!" Chang Yu said with a smile.
Holy shit! Digging a hole again! Zhu Shenxuan was furious and about to explode. Chang Yu hurriedly waved his hand: "Just kidding, just kidding!"
Zhu Shenxuan was finally calmed down, and he looked at Chang Yu sideways and said, "Have you planned on these wealthy gentry in the city from the beginning, so you closed the city and didn't allow them to leave?"
Chang Yu smiled and said nothing, took the lunch brought by Fang San and started to eat happily.
When Zhu Shenxuan saw that he was silent, he held his head and looked at the roof, silently saying: "Actually, it's not impossible to rob, but it really can't be done blatantly..."
Ahem, cough, cough, Chang Yu squirted out his rice and almost choked to death: "You, are you serious?"
Zhu Shenxuan is really young and easy to fool, and Chang Yu just said it as a joke. To be honest, of course he also wants to squeeze all the wealthy gentry in the city, but no, he can't really rob him, then Isn't it just like a thief? If it is really done, the negative impact will be immeasurable.
And even if you pretend to be a thief, it won't work. After all, the city is now dominated by officers and soldiers. Where can the thieves come from? But with a few people to rob, even if a wealthy family doesn't have servants to protect the courtyard, they can't beat you to death!
"Don't act recklessly. It's not good to cause chaos in the city." Chang Yu looked at Zhu Shenxuan solemnly and said, this child was really led astray by him. Even he had to run thousands of miles away to rob him, and this guy actually ate him. Damn it, the ignorant are really fearless.
Hehe, Zhu Shenxuan scratched his head and giggled: "I am just talking."
However, Chang Yu looked at his expression and it didn't look like he was just talking. He thought to himself that he had to send someone to keep an eye on this guy to prevent him from causing a big mess in the city.
It was already noon. Chang Yu walked out of the tower and looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly. Although the sky was cold, it was finally a little warm.
"The weather is good, suitable for hunting." Chang Yu walked to the battlements with a cold look on his face and looked towards the south. The bandit camp was full of flags, tents stretched for miles, and a vague crowd of people could be seen.
Looking closer, outside the trench array, directly opposite the south gate, there were three square formations of rebels, about ten thousand people, waiting for orders.
Looking behind the formation, we could vaguely see some siege equipment, such as ladders, chariots, etc., but there was no sign of the artillery, perhaps it was blocked.
The ladders are all ready. Could it be possible that he wants to attack the city today? Chang Yu sneered in his heart. Let's get to the river first.
He got on his horse and headed straight to the west of the city with a few guards. When he arrived at Zhenwu Gate, Chang Yu frowned and looked solemn. There were at least 20,000 rebels stationed outside the city, and they were watching eagerly from 300 meters outside the moat.
I saw some of the rebels riding horses around under the city, and some of them were lazily basking in the sun and cursing the officers and soldiers. They were very arrogant.
However, if these thieves approached the moat, they would be shot with bows and arrows by the officers and soldiers patrolling outside the city.
There was no bandit army at Fucheng Gate at the northwest gate, only a small group of people running back and forth.
In the north of the city, only the bandit soldiers were seen exploring horses, but no large army was seen. Chang Yu rode half a circle to the east city, and happened to meet Zhou Yuji and others who were patrolling the city.
