royal robes

Chapter 629
It was like a ritual, and it felt like a long time had passed.After all the Tang troops threw their weapons down the city wall, Li Jing immediately led Huangfu Jixun and the entire army to leave from the east gate of Xuzhou City. At this time, no one stopped him, not even Murong Yanchao. He knew it was inevitable. He didn't dare to cause civil turmoil in the city, nor did he dare to threaten Li Jing, so he could only watch him leave.

When Li Jing and his party left, everyone in Xuzhou City watched them go away a little bit.Suddenly, there was dust flying in the east, and a group of soldiers rushed out from the mountain. Facing the Tang army, they seemed to have not seen it, and directly led the team around Xuzhou City, and returned to the Dazhou military camp.

Tang Jun and his party were so frightened that their faces were expressionless, and there was no trace of blood on their faces. Zong Xin really planted heavy soldiers. If they had gone one step earlier, they would have been ambushed, and the entire army would probably be wiped out by then.Li Jing didn't care so much anymore, and continued to walk with the army, as long as they returned to Datang, they would be safe.

In Xuzhou City, everyone saw with their own eyes that the Zhou army let the Tang army live. This incident had a great impact on them. The opponent was the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty Li Jing. If Zong Xin was willing to let the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty go, Then letting go of a small pawn would not be a problem.

Just as I was thinking about it, Zong Xin's voice came again, and everyone had heard it several times. He was talking with a huge loudspeaker.

"I, Zong Xin, have done what I said. Since the Tang army has put down their weapons and surrendered, they will naturally be allowed to leave safely. Next, I would like to ask His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor Guo Wei to say a few words. Listen carefully, this may be your only way to survive."

Everyone gathered on the west tower of Xuzhou City, and the soldiers in the city wanted to know what their only way of life was.They knew Zong Xin too well. This man had created countless miracles, and his fate as an enemy of Zong Xin was always miserable.

There were several emperors who were killed by Zong Xin. This time he could even kill Li Jing, but in good faith he spared Li Jing's life. Of course he can release dispensable soldiers.

Guo Wei picked up the huge loudspeaker, cleared his throat slightly, and then said: "All the soldiers in Xuzhou City are listening, the widow is Guo Wei, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Because the Emperor Liu Chengyou of the Later Han Dynasty chased and killed them all, the widow had a pair of children, Guo Tong, and Guo Le'an died. In the hands of Murong Yanchao. The widow loves the people like a son. After proclaiming the emperor, all policies are based on the people. Everyone should be very clear about this. As for the widow’s conduct, you should be familiar with it. It’s just a bloodbath and deep hatred. Please don’t stop the widow from avenging blood and hatred, otherwise don’t blame the widow for being ruthless. The widow has passed down the decree that if you attack the city at noon tomorrow, you will be killed if you encounter resistance. If you don't pursue it, you will be the people of the Great Zhou in the future, and I will naturally love you. This is all I have said, and I will only say it once, even if Xuzhou is bloodbathed, this shameless Murong Yanchao must be captured alive."

After speaking, Guo Wei put down the loudspeaker.Zong Xin picked up the loudspeaker and handed it to the side, Han Lingkun took it, and then summoned up all his strength and shouted: "Emperor Da Zhou, benevolent and magnanimous, and he is kind and generous, and he deserves his name. He is serving his life, his brain is sick. At noon tomorrow, the army will attack the city. If you don’t kill the surrendered soldiers, if you want to survive, throw away your weapons..."

Han Lingkun kept saying the same thing with the loudest voice, the purpose was to attack the bottom line of the soldiers layer by layer.

Guo Wei said it once and Zong Xin said it once. Perhaps these soldiers were still considering whether to throw away their weapons and surrender to Zhou Dynasty.But Han Lingkun keeps repeating it like this, and every time he says it, some people will be shaken in their hearts. Constant repetition will only make more people have this idea.

Of course, this was also Zong Xin's idea, and even the loudspeaker was made according to Zong Xin's instructions.In fact, even Guo Wei was taken aback. Unexpectedly, after making this thing into such a shape, the sound can become very loud and spread far away.

Murong Yanchao gritted his teeth angrily on the city wall, but there was nothing he could do.The other party's voice was too loud, and it was useless for him to shout on the city wall.Moreover, if they do other things at this time, the soldier's determination will be shaken even more, and he doesn't know what to do at all. Unexpectedly, Zong Xin would use this trick.

Murong Yanchao is also very aware of Guo Wei's behavior. Indeed, the whole world is almost unanimously acclaiming Guo Wei. Since he has made such a promise, there is almost no doubt that he will break his promise, and for Guo Wei, he does not need to break his promise. , Guo Wei didn't care about the life and death of these soldiers at all, he just wanted to rush into Xuzhou to capture himself alive.

Siege at noon tomorrow?It must have been a little too fast.Murong Yanchao could almost see that his soldiers were already talking about it, and many of them were already planning to throw away their weapons and surrender to Da Zhou.If this continues, the battle will not be fought at all, and these soldiers may directly open the city gate to welcome Guo Wei and his party into the city.

Murong Yanchao would never let this kind of thing happen, even if Xuzhou City was destroyed, it would be destroyed in chaos, so that he could take advantage of the chaos to assassinate Zong Xin.After the death of Zong Xin, the eldest brother had the chance to capture Da Zhou. Similarly, only by killing Zong Xin could he break the curse he cast on himself. It was too painful to die of cold and hunger.I don't want to die, let alone die so badly.

Murong Yanchao immediately ordered: "Send someone to hold the city wall. Anyone who dares to climb the city wall without authorization will be killed, let alone throwing weapons down. Tell everyone, close the city gates and defend Xuzhou to the death. The Da Zhou army will not be able to attack tomorrow." come in."

In fact, no one really doubted that the Great Zhou army would not be able to attack tomorrow. After all, there were nearly 4 defenders in the city. This is not a small number. How easy is it to capture Xuzhou?But...Xuzhou is now isolated and helpless, let alone forcibly attacking the city, the Dazhou army only needs to trap Xuzhou to death, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. It will take less than ten days and a half a month. After the food in Xuzhou city is eaten, Self-defeating.

It was clear to everyone that Xu Zhou had no chance.All the resources of the entire Great Zhou were fighting with Xuzhou. The small city of Xuzhou couldn't last long and even didn't need Guo Wei to send troops. The small city of Xuzhou couldn't support so many soldiers. Going on like this, it is estimated that Murong Yanchao can only earn enough money to support the tens of thousands of troops by being a bandit and robbing anyone he sees. Even so, there is no guarantee.

In fact, the morale of Xuzhou's army has long been shaken, and it was revived only because of the intervention of Tang Lijing.But now Li Jing would rather leave Xuzhou than to throw down his weapons and bear the risk of being directly captured by Zong Xin. The soldiers are neither stupid nor blind. How can they not understand these things?
If Murong Yanchao is a good man, and what he does is good for the world and the common people, there may be some soldiers who would rather go hungry with him, but in fact Murong Yanchao is just a villain, and he is insidious A villain, a butcher who doesn't even spare a child under ten years old, is it worth serving as a soldier under this kind of person?
Looking at Guo Wei again, he has not had any negative comments on Guo Wei so far, and even his enemies admire him very much.There is nothing to say about his character and ability. The most valuable thing is that all the policies he implemented after he became the emperor were all for his own disadvantages and for the benefit of the people.

This time the war was not provoked by Guo Wei for revenge, but Murong Yanchao and Liu Chong wanted to seize the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they were the ones who started it.Now that the army is defeated, no one will pity them at all. On the contrary, there are more people who support Guo Wei.

Guo Wei attacked Xuzhou only to avenge his own children, let alone put this kind of thing on Guo Wei, even an ordinary soldier would risk his life to avenge his children.

Murong Yanchao wanted to stop him, but he couldn't.People kept throwing weapons from the city wall, but they didn't face him.Murong Yanchao was throwing weapons at the walls of the west city, north city, south city, and east city.Whenever Murong Yanchao changed positions, they would throw them elsewhere.

Until that night, Han Lingkun's throat was broken by yelling, and several people had changed, and they kept yelling the same words.The entire city of Xuzhou was doomed to sleeplessness, and more and more soldiers were mutinying. There were constant sounds of metal collisions, and the entire night was spent in torment.

But Zhou Jun has already held a celebration banquet. The initiator is Zong Xin. He knows that these soldiers will definitely throw all their weapons out of the city. There is no need to wait until noon tomorrow. stop.

Soldiers outside grilled meat and drank wine around the campfire.In the big camp, Zong Xin and his party were also drinking and having fun, and there were three beautiful wives around them who kept pouring wine for Zong Xin, and they were so envious of the others.Besides Zhao Kuangyin, because Zhao Kuangyin also had He Meiyu pouring wine for him.

Zhao Pu beside Zong Xin said softly: "Boss, is it appropriate to drink and have fun before the war?"

"Why do you call me boss? You are the boss of the Ao Gang."

"You are the boss's boss." Zhao Pudao: "Let's not talk about this, will we really be able to successfully attack the city tomorrow? What if Murong Yanchao sneaks into the city at night?"

Zong Xin laughed and said: "He? Not so courageous, not to mention the disparity in military strength, even if someone dares to sneak attack, it is a dead end. Sometimes morale is very strong, sometimes it is very fragile. Seeing that Li Jing would rather throw away his weapon Taking such a big risk to leave Xuzhou, don't those soldiers understand? What's more, if he wants to sneak attack the barracks of a hundred thousand troops, can he have no troops? But when an army of thousands of people marches, the earthquake Shan Yao, we've already noticed it before we even got to the barracks, so there's no need to worry."

Zhao Pu nodded. In fact, he did not doubt Zong Xin's decision, but felt that it was not appropriate to do so.Moreover, Guo Wei and Song Yan didn't participate at all, maybe they just didn't feel appropriate, so they didn't come.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Zhao Pu, even though we both have the surname Zhao, we have different tempers. There is one thing I must tell you, which is also based on experience. Zong Xinren can do whatever he wants, and it is useless to ask more questions. Do you think Haven't I asked all these years? After the matter is done, you will naturally know Zong Xin's intentions."

"What's the purpose of drinking in the barracks? It's nothing more than predicting Murong Yanchao's death, so I celebrated in advance. I know that Master Zong Xin is powerful, and Murong Yanchao is doomed, but sometimes you shouldn't be so sharp when doing things. It's just eye-catching."

What Zhao Pu said was true, but no one cared, because he drank a little more and got drunk, so he didn't care what Zhao Pu said, and just had a good drink tonight.Anyway, the victory is already decided, and no one can stop the fact that Xuzhou City is broken. The strongest nearby is Li Jing. Li Jing has escaped, and no one can save Murong Yanchao.
