Chapter 67
"Don't worry, my lord. Let me hear from the officials first. The lord is ordered to recover the three cities of Xuzhou. I don't know if this is a triumphant return or not? If it has been recovered, the lord can enter the capital, but the premise is that these soldiers will stay here temporarily. , you can’t enter Beijing with the prince.” Lu Shoubei said with a smile on his face.

This means that these soldiers will not only not be able to follow into the capital, they will not even be able to pass through the city gate.

The reason why Lu Shoubei is so confident is because of the person behind him, and the other is the particularity of this Diancheng.

Diancheng is the only way to enter the capital here, and the emperors of all dynasties used it as a line of defense to protect the capital.

The city wall is built far and long, high and strong, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

People under the city wall know that if King Ji intends to forcibly attack the city, let alone the odds of winning, as soon as he opens his mouth to order the attack, then King Yu, who acts as the agent of the government, will immediately declare to the outside world, Taking advantage of His Majesty's poor health, King Ji wanted to seek power and usurp the throne.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the royal family, so it doesn't matter whether the important officials in the court, officials and people everywhere believe it or not.

There is no excuse for the so-called crime of wanting to impose!

That king of Yu got rid of him, and his name became justified, and he became famous as a teacher.

However, if the prince agrees not to bring soldiers into the city, he will also be in danger.

The king of Yu has already started to do things clearly. Obviously, the capital is now under his control.

In this case, He Zexu should not have entered Beijing if he was smart.

Even if there is a call from the capital, they have to find excuses not to go, and if they go, it is tantamount to a sheep entering the tiger's mouth and seeking their own death.

"Lu Shuishi, I might as well tell you that I didn't go to recover the three cities of Xuzhou, but I want to return the capital city, and I want to take these soldiers and horses with me.

Now I will give you a chance to open the city gate immediately and let me pass, otherwise. "He Zexu called him by his first name, and after saying these words, he himself felt long-winded.

"Hahaha, my lord, anyone can say harsh words, I'm here to see how you plan to get there, and what you plan to do with me, the premise is that you have a chance to come in, my lord. "Lu Shoubei also completely tore his face.

He waved his hand behind him, and immediately someone brought the soft chair over, and the maidservant brought tea, and the one who pinched his shoulders and beat his legs was screaming.

"My lord? Let your subordinates attack the city?" The military general, General Wen, was already so angry that he wanted to attack the city immediately, and feed Nalu's defense to the dogs.

He Zexu sneered and said, "General Wen, why bother to get angry with such villains." After speaking, he nodded to a follower beside him.

After receiving the signal, the attendant took out a small bamboo tube from his bosom, and then took out the fire pocket, lit the lead core outside the bamboo tube and lifted it to the top of his head. After hearing a whoosh, a dazzle appeared in the sky in front of the city gate. It exploded with a click.

The fireworks in broad daylight are not pretty, but the sound is loud and spreads far.

"Tch, why are you setting off fireworks?" Someone on the city gate sneered.

Lu Shuishi looked at the dissipated smoke in the air, and stood up abruptly: "Not good."

At this moment, screams and fighting suddenly came from inside the city gate.

"They have support in the city, hurry up." Lu Shuishi reacted, and told the guards around him to take people down to help guard the gate.

It's a pity that the response was a bit late. When the guards brought people down to support, they realized that there were not a dozen or so people supporting Prince Ji, but about a hundred people.

They are dressed as soldiers, merchants, peddlers, and even farmers and woodcutters.

Their weapons are all kinds of, and they look messy, but the movements of these people are not messy, and they are well-trained.

The most terrible thing is that the gate of the city has been opened, and King Ji's soldiers and horses have poured in from outside.

Everything was so fast, as if it happened in an instant, and the battle was over in a little more than a quarter of an hour.

It's not that the troops brought by Diancheng and King Ji are too different, but that the force value is too different.

He Zexu's soldiers and horses were tempered by years of bloody wind and blood in real combat with him in the South and North Wars. If you just bring out an ordinary soldier, you can defeat ten with one.

The soldiers and horses under Lu Shoubei, who had been stationed in the city all year round, were used to being at ease, but they were completely useless in a fight, and soon they were defeated and surrendered.

"That's it, you still dare to be arrogant? Are you fucking going to continue to swear?" General Wen scolded contemptuously, and kicked Lu Shoubei into the wall, and fell to the ground. He didn't know that his ribs were kicked. It was broken, or the bone was broken, and the pain was so cold that I broke out in a cold sweat.

The people in the city didn't know what happened, and they all hid in their homes and dared not come out.

Someone pulled a chair, and He Zexu sat on the street.

No one cared about where Lu Shoubei was injured, whether he was in pain, or whether his life was in danger, they dragged him by the collar and threw him in front of He Zexu.

"My lord, please forgive my life, my lord, forgive my sins, and I have no choice but to do this." Lu Shoubei, ignoring the pain in his heart, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

He Zexu took the water bag handed over by his subordinates, drank a few sips, and looked at Lu Shoubei.

"I also ask my lord to give me a chance to take my crimes and make meritorious deeds. I am willing to serve my lord like a cow or a horse." Lu Shoubei secretly raised his head and saw the lord looking at him, and hurriedly said.

"You kind of dog, I don't rarely use it." He Zexu finished speaking in disgust, and just happened to have someone come down to report.

"My lord, what should I do with this guy?" Lu Shoubei prayed in his heart that he would be ignored, but General Wen kept staring at him.

"This kind of disloyalty to the monarch, the fish meat of the common people, keeping him will only be a disaster. If General Wen is free, I will leave it to you to deal with it." He Zexu said disapprovingly.

"The last general has orders." Upon hearing this, General Wen responded readily, and walked up to the city wall, holding Lu Shoubei's belt.

In the hands of the tall and burly General Wen, Lu Shoubei was like a little chicken.

"You can't do this, no matter what, I'm also an official of the court, and you can't deal with it at will." Lu Shoubei thought that he would be imprisoned, and that would be a temporary hardship, and the King Yu's people would still let him go Understand.

However, unexpectedly, King Ji did not follow the procedure and wanted to execute him directly, so he shouted desperately.

His throat was cracking, but it was useless, and because of multiple fractures on his body, he couldn't struggle and resist.

On the city wall, the soldiers who had been guarding the city surrendered and knelt down waiting to be dealt with. They watched helplessly as the guard was carried and stood on the city wall, but no one wanted to save people at all.

It's not because I can't take care of it, but this garrison master is not a good thing at all, not to mention deducting their salary on weekdays, and even raped a soldier's wife a few months ago.

Afterwards, the little lady hanged herself with a rope.

The soldier also disappeared, and it was said that the garrison gave the soldier 100 taels of silver as compensation, and he took the silver to go far away.

However, in private, everyone didn't believe it, and felt that the poor guy had already been dealt with by the guard.

"What are you going to do?" General Wen yelled in horror at Lu Shuishi, who was holding his feet upside down and facing down the city wall.

General Wen smiled: "Do you need to ask? This general wants to let you in. Since you have the guts to make trouble with King Yu, you should know what will happen if you fail." After speaking, he let go of his hands and looked at Lu Shuishi screamed and fell down, hit the ground with a bang, twitched a few times and did not move.

Because it fell head-down, the head landed first, and the city wall was paved with granite, so the head was thrust into the neck cavity by inertia, and the corpse looked weird.

General Wen, who was doing this kind of thing for the first time, finally let go of the sullenness in his heart, patted the dust on his hands refreshed, and walked down the city gate.

I don't know what arrangements Prince Ji is making, I only see some of Prince Ji's subordinates looking strange...
