Shu Blossoms

Chapter 230
On the eighth day of April, King Taiyuan's army had been attacking the city for three days, and the [-] army led by Murong Qian also arrived outside Pingcheng yesterday.

The two armies formed a siege, trapping Pingcheng tightly inside.

However, Murong Qian left Dayan without permission at the beginning. The reason he used was that Emperor Wei was in danger and returned to the city to be King Qin. When they arrived outside the city yesterday, they saw the obituary that Tuoba Yu had ordered posted outside the city. Passed the throne to the third prince Tuoba Yu.

Seeing the obituary, all the soldiers in the army didn't want to attack the city, they all ran to Murong Qian to lobby, the third prince's succession is justified, if we attack the city at this time, it will be treason!

Moreover, more than half of the [-] troops are from the northern and southern lords. Murong Qian didn't use them like a finger, and he didn't trust him very much, which made Murong Qian quite afraid.

Unexpectedly, Murongqian, who usually does not show his mountains and dews, is a ruthless person. After discussing with his confidants, he first killed several generals who opposed the most fiercely. General.The other soldiers were afraid of his ruthlessness and had to compromise temporarily, but they didn't have much motivation, and they felt like they were not working hard when they attacked the city.

Murongqian has no good solution for a while, after all, he still counts on these people to command the war!
His confidant military adviser gave him advice, "General, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. If you discuss it with the King of Taiyuan, you can promise their future. Under power and wealth, there must be people who are tempted."

After thinking about it, Murong Qian felt that this method was feasible, so he went to discuss it with the King of Taiyuan.

King Taiyuan hesitated, "After all, they are not our own people. If they are given high positions in the future, we may cause trouble!"

"Then according to the prince's wishes, what should we do with this matter?"

Murongqian was choked up by the Taiyuan King, and felt a little displeased. What he is doing now is something that will kill his head. If there is no great profit, who would work with you!

But he couldn't directly shame Taiyuan King, so he immediately pushed the matter back to him.

The king of Taiyuan really thought about it seriously, "Now the city is full of 6 people, and we have a full 15 people. Even if it is a strong attack, it will be a matter of time before we get into the city. Lead more generals, otherwise we will directly give those generals of the North and South Lords directly."

When Murong Qian saw the cruelty flashing in the eyes of King Taiyuan, he was startled and then felt a little regret.

This Taiyuan king is not very capable, but his heart is quite cruel.There are thousands of generals from the third rank to the fifth rank in the [-] army. Most of them are from the northern and southern lords, and most of these generals are fought from the bottom. They have a lot of prestige in the army. Come on, the [-] troops must mutiny immediately!

If it wasn't for the kindness I owed him back then, I wouldn't have agreed to accompany him on this road of no return.

Murong Qian looked deeply at the back of Taiyuan King, and sighed helplessly in his heart. He was also a confused person, and only now did he realize that this Taiyuan King was a ruthless master with great ambition but no self-knowledge.

But it was too late to regret it at this time, he could only endure the irritability in his heart, and said in a harmonious voice: "My lord, you are most afraid of killing generals in wartime, and it is easy to cause mutiny. And now the most urgent task is to attack the city and kill the cowardly Tuoba. Woo."

Before he finished speaking, a soldier outside the tent shouted that there was an urgent report, and the king of Taiyuan shouted: "Come in!"

The soldier came in and knelt down and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the [-] troops sent to scout Xiahou Miao set off two days ago and headed for Pingcheng at full speed. I'm afraid they will arrive in five days."

King Taiyuan's face changed greatly when he heard this, "This Xia Houmiao actually ignored the letter I sent to him before, and decided to fight against this king, hateful!"

He turned his head and said to Murong Qian: "This king agrees with your proposal just now. The rewards will be determined according to their military exploits. If Tuoba Yu can be captured, I will give them the title of Marquis and King after I ascend the throne! But within five days, you must win Break through Pingcheng!"

The next day, the defenders of Pingcheng obviously felt that the rebel attack outside the city was more violent today, and the casualties on the towers immediately increased a lot.

After a day of fierce defense of the city, the streets and alleys in the city were already full of wounded, Liao Wennan also came to help take care of the wounded soldiers.

At night, Zheng Wei and the others were sent to watch the night on the tower.

Zheng Heng and the others were worried about Zheng Wei, so they ran to see her while they were resting.

They stood on the tower and sighed. They didn't expect that one day they would stand on the tower of the enemy's capital and fight for the enemy. At this moment, they still feel a little dazed.

Zheng Wei looked at the light in the enemy camp in the distance outside the city, and expressed his thoughts in front of his elder brother, "Brother, no matter whether it is Da Zhou or Da Wei, the people living in this land are all descendants of Yan and Huang. Most of them are ordinary people. This year, I have seen so much life and death, ups and downs, and I have always been powerless and hesitant. Now I stand here regardless of my position, just to quell the war and give them peace as soon as possible."

For the first time, Zheng Heng felt that the younger sister who only knew how to play and get into trouble had grown up.I am even more gratified that there is compassion and compassion hidden in her small body.

Hao Zesong, Zhang Da and the others were used to seeing the nobles of the royal family treat the common people like nothing. This is the first time they saw the compassion for them from a high-ranking princess, and they immediately felt admiration!
Today's starry night is especially suitable for mourning spring and autumn, but a slight movement from the Taiyuan King's tent in the distance attracted Zheng Wei's attention.

It can be heard on the walls of Pingcheng twenty miles away, this movement should be not small, Zheng Wei's expression immediately became serious, she pulled the elder brother beside her, and pointed to the front, "Brother, it seems that something happened over there! "

Zheng Heng and the others looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that there seemed to be many torches walking back and forth in the Taiyuan king's tent. Although they didn't know what happened, they at least knew that their soldiers and horses were moving.

But it doesn't look like a surprise attack, after all, such an obvious surprise attack, as long as you are not a fool, you can't do it!

Ma Xingyun said, "Why don't I go check it out!"

Now Ma Xingyun is already a very powerful scout.

"No, it's too dangerous for you to be alone!"

Zheng Wei refused, but felt that she should go to investigate, and said again: "Send a few more people there, if there is something wrong, there will be a helping hand!"

She called her lieutenant general and asked, "Mosang, do we have any good scouts among our people?"

That's right, Mozanne!
Zheng Wei has always thought that Mo You and Mo Qi are two brothers, and there are only two brothers named Mo, but he never thought that there is Mo Sang.

She asked Mo Sang curiously, "Do you have a strange army with the word 'Mo' in its name?"

Mo Sang was not familiar with Zheng Wei, so he lowered his head and refused to answer her question.

Zheng Wei knew that this might be their rule, she asked herself a lot, and later she was no longer curious.

Mo Sang nodded after hearing Zheng Wei's words, "Yes!"

Zheng Wei pointed to the abnormal movement not far away, explained the situation to him, and then said: "I want to take some people out to investigate, if there is any movement over there, I can deal with it in advance!"

Mo Sang refused without thinking: "No! The task His Highness gave me is to ensure your safety!"
