"The emperor knows the character of King Lu very well. We seem to be at a disadvantage, but in fact we have already taken the initiative."
Qu Xu agreed after listening to Zhou Heng's words.
In Qu Xu's view, Zhou Zheng is a person who is strong on the outside but capable on the inside.
"Ran Min, take this letter to Daning City and hand it over to Li Yangchi of Ning Zhijun!" Zhou Heng asked Ran Min to deliver the letter to Li Yangchi.
"Ning Zhijun?"
Everyone looked at Zhou Heng again.
"That's right, Daning City is where Xu's family belongs. If Zhou Zheng can't gain a foothold in Luoyang, he will definitely go north to Daning City. I want Ning Zhijun to intercept Zhou Zheng."
Zhou Heng expressed his thoughts.
People say that every ten steps counts. Although Zhou Heng can't do ten steps, he can at least do one step.
"Your majesty is wise, so you can definitely destroy King Lu." Yu Shilin said
"Report, report to the emperor, the rebels are attacking the city, please make the emperor's decision!" Yingji hurried in from the outside to tell Zhou Heng the situation, Zhou Zheng ordered the Luoyang army to attack the city, and Lei Pibao and others were resisting.
"It seems that they have also reached the point where their fuel is exhausted."
Zhou Heng said with a smile.
The past few days have been calm, and the sudden attack at this time must be a problem with the food and grass.
"Order Lei Pibao and Tian Zhang to resist them at all costs." Zhou Heng passed on the order, and Zhou Heng felt that as long as they could withstand this wave of offensive, the rebels would be at the end of their battle.
"As ordered."
Yingji nodded and immediately went to the gate tower.
"Master Qu ordered you to recruit soldiers immediately!" Zhou Heng felt that they could recruit soldiers in Chang'an City. Chang'an City is the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and he believed that they could recruit many soldiers.
"clear."
Qu Xu nodded.
Three days passed.
The rebels still have not captured Chang'an.
"What's going on?" Zhou Zheng said incredulously, he didn't understand why Chang'an's defense was so strong, it was simply unbreakable.
Moreover, the defenders seem to appear continuously, it is impossible for Chang'an to have so many defenders.
"It should be looking for recruits."
Bai Jizhong wrinkled and said nothing.
Now that Zhou Heng is the emperor, everyone responds to every call. The people of Chang'an will naturally support Zhou Heng. There are no less than one million people in Chang'an.
Recruiting tens of thousands of troops is not a problem at all, and now it seems that the gap between them is being gradually narrowed by Zhou Heng.
If they can't win Chang'an, I'm afraid they really have no chance.
"Recruiting recruits? Are Wen Ting and Zhou Kai worthless? Why is there no movement at all, just watching Zhou Heng doing evil in Chang'an City?"
Zhou Zheng said angrily.
"Your Highness, be safe and don't be impatient. Perhaps the situation in Chang'an City is more serious than we imagined." Bai Jizhong had long had any illusions about Wen Ting and Zhou Kai.
Zhou Heng ascended the throne, according to Zhou Heng's cleverness, how could he not get rid of these hidden dangers, these people are probably cleaned up by Zhou Heng.
Now the only thing they can rely on is themselves.
"Why."
Zhou Zheng sighed.
"Your Highness, Mr. Bai, our food and grass are insufficient, and we can only last for two days. If we can't take Chang'an City within two days, we will be completely hopeless."
A person walked in from the outside and told Zhou Zheng and Bai Jizhong the problems they were facing.
"Why did the food and grass run out so quickly? Are they all pigs?" Zhou Zhen said angrily, knowing that when the six major families came, they also brought them food and grass.
"Your Highness."
Bai Jizhong reminded Zhou Zheng to be more cautious in his words, saying that the soldiers are pigs is a bit too much.
"Your Highness, it's not that we eat too much, but that this incident happened too suddenly. We didn't bring much food and grass from Luoyang. Secondly, the food and grass of the six major families are a drop in the bucket for an army of 50,000 people."
The visitor explained the situation to Zhou Zheng again.
The six major families said that they had sent food and grass, but the army of food and grass they sent was eaten up in two days, as if no food and grass had been sent.
"Why."
Zhou Zheng sighed.
"Your Highness, without delay, order the soldiers to attack the city with all their might!"
Bai Jizhong felt that they had reached the point of a life-and-death struggle, and they had no way out.
the"Okay, I'll leave everything to you."
Zhou Zheng handed over the matter to Bai Jizhong.
Bai Jizhong came out of the tent, thought for a while and came to the queen's tent.
"Empress, my minister Bai Jizhong has something to see!" Bai Jizhong called out from outside the tent, and then came a voice from inside the tent before Bai Jizhong walked in.
"The minister kowtowed to the queen."
"Master Bai, please stand up!" The queen glanced at Bai Jizhong, with a displeased expression on her face, as if she didn't like Bai Jizhong, the queen felt that it was Bai Jizhong who encouraged Zhou Zheng to come to this point.
"Thank you!"
After Bai Jizhong got up, he saluted Xu Rui who was beside him.
"Did Master Bai come to see me for something?" The queen asked Bai Jizhong. If there is nothing to go to the Three Treasure Hall, Bai Jizhong must have something to come here.
"Queen, I have come to ask the queen to give King Lu a way out." Bai Jizhong said slowly.
The queen narrowed her eyes.
"What do you mean?"
The queen didn't understand what Bai Jizhong meant, what it meant to give King Lu a way out.
"The empress is now attacking Chang'an with my army, and I can't attack for a long time. The food and grass are almost cut off. If the food and grass are cut off, we will definitely not be able to attack Chang'an. At that time, I feel that Luoyang is our foothold. I ask the queen to move Luoyang to the king of Lu for preparations. A place to settle down."
Bai Jizhong persuaded the queen.
Bai Jizhong knew that Zhou Zheng wanted to fight to the death, but Bai Jizhong was still a little worried, what if Zhou Zheng retreated at the critical moment?
So he thinks it's better to plan and be conservative.
The queen looked at Xu Rui, and Xu Rui nodded, thinking that Bai Jizhong's proposal was good, they would not be afraid of running out of firewood if they stayed in the green hills, and they could look at Chang'an by retreating to Luoyang.
And the place east of Luoyang will be their rear.
"good."
After getting Xu Rui's consent, the queen agreed to Bai Jizhong's words
At the same time Hanshan Temple.
"Go back and tell the emperor, I will definitely do this." Zhang Daoheng immediately agreed after receiving Zhou Heng's letter.
"My lord, are you leaving?" Monk Yongming looked at Zhang Daoheng and asked.
"Yeah, I should go out for a walk after so many years, otherwise everyone may have forgotten me, Zhang Daoheng." Zhang Daoheng said with a slight smile.
"But what happened here?" Monk Yongming felt that Zhang Daoheng had left. What about the research and development of cannons and firecrackers?
"It's enough that you are here for this matter. If I want to, I can go to Luoyang to help the emperor put down the chaos. This is the key." Zhang Daoheng said, there are priorities.
If I don't go to Luoyang to help Zhou Heng, once Zhou Zheng seizes Luoyang, the Great Zhou is likely to be divided into two, and all the efforts of the previous emperors of the Great Zhou will be in vain.
Dazhou is also likely to be annexed by other countries. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
