Destiny Only Han

Chapter 544 Liu Ying: Dangerous!He wants to be Zhao Gao!

Shangjun, Fushi County.

The red sun is rising in the east, and the Wuding River that flows around the city is sparkling. In the city, there is no wind, and the smoke rises, like white pillars frozen in the air, neither shaking nor moving.

It can only be that all these beautiful pictures have become fragmented with the sound of shouting and killing on the city wall.

Outside the city wall, thousands of Hun cavalry galloped back and forth around the moat, uninterruptedly drawing their bows and shooting arrows, covering the infantry holding large shields and carrying long ladders to the city with a rain of arrows like locusts.

Today is the fifth day of the Xiongnu siege.

Bank of China said that he stood disgraced at the top of the city, rolled up his sleeves, picked up a stone the size of a human head, and smashed down a Hun soldier who was climbing up.

The Xiongnu's siege was getting tighter, and even he, the steward who presided over the market trade, had to go to the city to defend.

And eunuchs are also bloody.

Well, he is fighting the enemy bravely at the moment, more importantly because he is worried that he will not be able to explain to Liu Ying...

Ten days ago, he was still shouting and shouting in front of the Huns who came from all over the grassland to trade, showing off his power, but when the market closed in the afternoon, the Huns around the market suddenly seemed to have lost their nerves and packed all the traded commodities. , Loaded on the bullock cart, drove the cattle, sheep and horses that had not yet completed the transaction, and hurriedly left the negotiating field together.

As for those female slaves who have always been rebellious and have not yet completed the transaction, if it were not for the strong intervention of the Bank of China, they would probably be killed by the Huns on the spot...

After all, although female slaves are valuable, if they cannot be used for themselves, it is better to kill them directly.

And they told the Bank of China to keep the people, mainly because they thought that after the city was broken, the slaves would still be theirs...

However, the Bank of China said that he didn’t know about it. At first, he thought that he had bargained so hard that the Huns were unwilling to do business with him. The leader of the Xiongnu came to negotiate with him...

After all, he needs to complete the autumn trade in a beautiful manner in order to obtain the capital to return to Chang'an City and Liu Ying's side.

Although he is an eunuch, he is not stupid. Liu Ying, the crown prince's position is as stable as Mount Tai, and he will definitely inherit the great position and be crowned emperor in the future.

Therefore, he only needs to wait patiently and serve with all his heart, and his status in the future will inevitably rise...

Then, the war broke out...

Fortunately, Lin Zhi, the prefect of Shangjun, who came back from patrolling the border, heard about the changes of the Huns, judged that something serious might happen, and ordered all the gates to be closed overnight, and cleared out all irrelevant people around the market, so as to make sure that the wall was cleared, and he ignored the Bank of China. He refused to follow what he said, and directly tied him back from the court...

For Lin Zhi, the important thing was not to trade with the Huns, but to keep the land safe and secure the people. As a county guard, if he made a mistake and caused the city to be captured by the Huns, then he had no choice but to commit suicide and apologize.

Anyway, in the buyer's market, even if he made a wrong judgment and the war did not break out, the market could quickly return to its previous prosperity.

On the contrary, if the judgment is correct, then the credit will be great, not only can the people under the rule be saved from the fire of war, but also a favor from the East Palace can be obtained!
The Bank of China said it represented the East Palace, and Liu Ying was recognized as the God of Wealth!
Therefore, under Lin Zhi's deliberate arrangement, a look of gratitude flashed across the face of Zhong Xing, who was facing the fierce battle, and he moved towards Lin Zhi who was standing on the top of the helmet and leaning on the sword: "The sheriff..."

Lin Zhi glanced at him sideways, with an invisible trace of slyness flashing across his face, and interrupted: "Don't worry, the Huns' large-scale attack has nothing to do with you! According to the battle reports from other places, the Huns not only appeared in Shangjun, South Korea, Daiguo and other places also ignited the flames of war!"

Bank of China said that it was joyful at first, and then full of sorrow.

What he is most afraid of is that others will accuse him of causing the war. Before he came, the Shangjun market was well-organized, and the Huns and Han merchants lived in peace. Last year, the tariffs on this market alone More than 7000 million yuan!
Now Lin Zhi's words can be regarded as picking him out.

But the flames of war are rekindled, even if the two sides shake hands and make peace within this year, the trade volume in the border dispute market will not last for three to five years, and I am afraid it will be difficult to recover!
It doesn't matter that he can't complete this year's task, I'm afraid it will implicate Liu Ying!

After all, it was Liu Ying who first proposed to open up a discussion field with the Huns and sign a trade contract, and Liu Ying has been in charge.

Donggong benefited from it, so naturally Donggong has to bear the blame!

When Bank of China and Lin Zhi were relatively silent and watched the two armies fight, there was a sudden commotion from below the city, and an officer who looked like a school lieutenant ran up and whispered in Lin Zhi's ear.

Lin Zhi listened, his two thick eyebrows huddled together, he wanted to give an order directly, but he turned his head to look at the curious Bank of China and said that he decided to sell Donggong another face.

So he turned his head and said: "Those Huns and female slaves are making a lot of noise, some are foreign ministers, it is inconvenient to comment, let the crown prince Zhong Shangyi deal with it!"

Well, Crown Prince Zhongjuan and Crown Prince Zhong Shangyi are both subordinate officials of the Eastern Palace. Their rank is higher than a hundred stones. The target is the Zhonghuang Gate, which belongs to the emperor. (Value) Guarding the gate, when the emperor travels, he follows him on horseback.

Although eunuchs lack something, medicine shows that physical development and sexual development are inversely related. If a child is not distracted by that thing, he will grow about half a foot taller than his peers.

The reason why eunuchs were often used in ancient palaces was not only to prevent people from cuckolding the emperor, but also because eunuchs were taller and more powerful than court ladies.

So upon hearing Lin Zhi's words, Bank of China was taken aback for a moment, then stomped its feet violently, and walked down from the top of the city with an iron armor weighing more than 30 kilograms!

Now that the Xiongnu invaded, all men, women and children in the city were recruited to help defend the city, that is, to help transport rolling logs, rocks, feathers and arrows, food, etc., and those Xiongnu women who were brought into the city by Bank of China were no exception.

Bank of China said that he gritted his back molars, clenched his fists, and said to himself: "Since you don't know what's good and what's wrong, don't blame the Xun family (Note 1) for being ruthless!"

The Huns are attacking the city outside, if those Hun women dare to make any changes, he will naturally kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, so as to make an example!

A moment later, Zhong Xing said that a team of Eastern Palace guards came with a murderous look behind him, and the first person who greeted him was an interpreter he had found in the local area.

Huai, who was wearing a scalp hat and khaki patches, leaned over with a nod and bowed his head, and whispered, "Mistake, mistake..."

Bank of China frowned: "What's wrong?"

Huai whispered next to his ear, "When these women heard that it was King Baiyang and King Loufan who were attacking the city outside, they clamored to send them weapons to help the Han army defend the city and kill the Xiongnu..."

Looking at Bank of China's frowning, Huai hurriedly explained: "Most of these people have vendettas against their fathers, husbands and sons with King Aries and King Lou Fan, so they should be trustworthy..."

"Is it up to you to believe it or not?" Bank of China said with a cold snort, looking into the eyes of the Hun women in front of him, suddenly a little moved.

From those long and narrow eyes, he saw unwillingness and pleading, the blazing flames, and the anger and hatred filled with anger.

"Give them weapons, can they beat the Huns in the city?"

"can!"

Huai said something loudly, then smiled wryly:
"Xiaomin is a Qin man who escaped from the Xiongnu. He knows the Xiongnu very well. The Xiongnu can ride a sheep and draw a bow to shoot birds and mice. Young people can shoot foxes and rabbits. Women are no exception. And one of their usual tricks is Before the battle between the two armies, young girls and young girls form the vanguard, riding horses and scattering to harass the enemy..."

"Shangguan thinks, the same prairie horse, carrying a grown man and a child weighing dozens of catties, must be the latter running faster..."

"Good. I will classify the Xiongnu women into one category, those who can wear armor and fight, and those who can ride horses and shoot arrows..." Zhongxing nodded lightly, turned around and walked, and said: "The waiter's family and the county guard said that if the county guard agrees, Let them fight."

..............................

On the top of the city, Lin Zhi listened to what Bank of China had said, met his expectant eyes, and sneered, "Okay, let them go to the city to fight, and we will wait for the men to go down to the city to rest..."

Without waiting for Bank of China to say anything else, Lin Zhi's face was frosty and he continued: "Soldiers, important affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the way of survival! If you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for not showing mercy to Donggong! You go down Bar!"

Bank of China said that he took a deep look at Lin Zhi, turned his head and left, the previous gratitude disappeared without a trace, his fists tightly clenched in his sleeves, and the sharp nails almost pierced his palms.

At this moment, he only hated that his status was too low. Even with the background of the Eastern Palace and the King of Yan, it was not enough for Lin Zhi, the founder of the country, to leave him with the slightest bit of dignity!

He secretly vowed that he would work hard to climb up, climb to the top step by step, and become a person like Zhao Gao!

Under one person, above tens of thousands of people, all the power is poured into the court, and all those who look down on him, hurt him, and trample on his dignity are trampled under their feet and under the dust!

Note 1: 臜家 (our family) is a self-proclaimed military term that originated in Shanxi and Shaanxi. It is used to refer to our army and horses. It means "I", "we", "you and me". It has obvious military characteristics and represents the masculinity. It is also called "Sajia" in some places, such as Lu Zhishen in "Water Margin"...

The power of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty was overwhelming, so this appellation with obvious political characteristics was popularized and used as a self-proclaimed name. Later, this appellation was not limited to eunuchs. For example, in "Memoirs of a Palace Lady", Cixi also called herself this way:' In the middle of the night in winter, Cixi ordered people to deliver food to the two night watchmen, saying that our family would reward us with an official job.
