After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 608 Sapphire Siege
"Master Zhao is a good friend of the Liu family, it's only right for everyone to take care of each other." Liu Sanxuan said.

Zhao Wenzhong, the magistrate of Jiangzhou, is actually a foreigner who came to Jiangzhou to be a parent official.When he first took office, he also had a passion and vowed to do something for the local people.

However, when he arrived in Jiangzhou, he found that things were completely different from what he had imagined.

If he wanted to do anything that was beneficial to the common people and violated the interests of the Liu family, he was struggling.Not to mention anything else, he issued a government order that was unfavorable to the Liu family, and no one under his command listened to him.

Not only did his subordinates refuse to listen to him, but he found that even if he passed through the higher authorities, the Liu family could not be touched, because there were still people above the Liu family.

Later, Zhao Wenzhong even received death threats. If he did not cooperate with the Liu family, he would lose his life.The previous prefects were either dismissed from office or lost their lives.

As a result, Zhao Wenzhong, who had read the books of sages and sages, was defeated by the cruel reality, and had to join forces with the Liu family.

It's not okay to be different, and he can't help it.

After collaborating with others, Zhao Wenzhong enjoyed power, wealth, money and beauties, and he couldn't extricate himself.In the end, he became the faithful running dog of the Liu family.

Together with the Liu family, deceive the upper and lower, seek profit for the Liu family, fish and meat the common people.

The Liu family saw that he was so sensible, and gave him some benefits from time to time.

Zhao Wenzhong understood the ways of the world and integrated into Jiangzhou.In Jiangzhou, Zhao Wenzhong, the official of the imperial court, met Liu Sanxuan who did not have any official status, and he was very respectful and obedient.

"Master Liu, Mr. Zhao, something is wrong!" At this time, a servant of the government office rushed into the door and said, "Lan Yu led the imperial court's [-] troops to the outside of Jiangzhou City, and seems to want to attack the city."

"Nonsense!" Zhao Wenzhong stood up first, and scolded, "Now that the Ming Dynasty has been established for five years, the world is peaceful, and it's not the war-torn period back then. What city did he attack?"

"Not bad." Liu Sanxuan said, "Jiangzhou has always been safe and stable, and there are no enemies of the imperial court. Is it worth it for Lan Yu to bring a hundred thousand soldiers and horses to put on such a big formation?"

"Could it be that you read it wrong?"

"Report to Master Liu, Master Zhao." The yamen servant said, "This subordinate is not mistaken, it is indeed Lan Yu who has come, and he has indeed brought a hundred thousand soldiers, one by one, waiting in full formation at the gate of the city, setting up a stance to attack the city. "

"I don't believe it." Liu Sanxuan said.

After all, such a thing is too magical, and the magic does not seem real.

"Wait for the next official to go and see for himself," Zhao Wenzhong said.Turning around, he respectfully said to Liu Sanxuan, "Master Liu, this matter involves the government, and the master is not a member of the government, so if you meet court officials later, I still hope that Master Liu..."

"Of course the old man knows about the joints." Liu Sanxuan said, he is also a good person, an old fox, "In front of officials from outside, especially in front of the leading generals, you still have to put on a show."

"The old man is right behind your lord, and you have the right to be your servant."

After the two finished speaking, they left the government office and went to the gate of the city.

……

Jiangzhou city gate.

Seeing Lan Yu coming with a large army, the sergeants at the gate of the city were terrified. They didn't know why the other party came, so they could only close the gate quickly and dared not open the city rashly.

The crowd is anxiously waiting, and their superior comes to call the shots.

"Listen, people at the top of the city!" At this time, Lan Yu stood out of the army and began to shout, "You who have harmed the people have more than one death, and I would advise you to commit suicide immediately."

"It seems that he really wants to fight!" Hearing this, the sergeant at the head of the city froze, trembling, and his legs were weak.In front of the regular team led by Sapphire, they are all lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Of course, when they exploit the common people, they see the common people as lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Moreover, Lan Yu also said that they harmed the people and made them commit suicide.The crowd couldn't understand why Sapphire would say that.

Of course, although Sapphire told them to commit suicide, no one committed suicide at the scene.

"I will give you one incense stick of time to open the city. After the one incense stick of time, I will attack the city." Lan Yu said, "I advise you to call all the troops in Jiangzhou to defend the city, otherwise I will attack the city." It's no fun to fight."

"In the defense of Hongdu, Zhu Wenzheng led 80 troops to defend Chen Youliang's 100 troops for more than [-] days. You Jiangzhou should follow Hongdu as an example."

"This general does not require you to defend my sapphire attack for a hundred days, nor does it require you to defend it for ten days, not even one day. This general only requires you to defend it for an hour."

Sapphire hasn't fought a war for many years, and her hands are already itchy.

This time he finally got a chance, he didn't want it to end too soon.Even if you win without even having to fight, it will be even more boring, and this rare opportunity will be wasted in vain.

At this time, two figures appeared on the top of the city.

It was Zhao Wenzhong, the magistrate, and Liu Sanxuan, the head of the Liu family.

Seeing the neat army formation under the city, and the team that could not be seen at a glance, Liu Sanxuan's expression froze: "Lan Yu really brought a hundred thousand troops here, it is really a big strange thing."

"Lan Yu wants to rebel!" Zhao Wenzhong said, "Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid this is the only explanation."

"Lan Yu wants to rebel, so she attacked her own city?" Liu Sanxuan said, "How come the old man doesn't know about such a big event? It stands to reason that there should be warning signs in advance for such a big event."

"If Sapphire shows signs of rebellion, I should also be aware of the old man's relationship in the court, and then notify the old man."

"Master Zhifu, do you want to open the city?" A soldier guarding the city stepped forward and asked, "Sapphire has brought [-] soldiers and cannons. We are ants in front of them."

"You can't open the city." Zhao Wenzhong said, "If Lan Yu is really rebellious, if we let him enter the city without any resistance, it will be tantamount to colluding with the rebel, and we will be guilty of the same crime as the rebel."

Having said this, the crowd frowned.

The city must never be opened, and it cannot be beaten.

At this time, people have already decided that Sapphire may have committed treason.

I'm afraid they can't even dream of it,
Sapphire led an army of [-] to deal with them.

"General Lan, you can be regarded as a famous general of Ming Dynasty. Why did you bring a large army to Jiangzhou today for no reason?" At this time, Zhao Wenzhong, the prefect, stepped out of the crowd and stood at the top of the city and said to Lan Yu, "Jiang The folk customs in the state are simple and honest, the people live and work in peace and contentment, there are no bad guys or bandits to suppress, and the general leading the army to attack the city is already a crime of treason."

"Therefore, the lower officials advise General Lan to rein in the precipice as soon as possible and turn around."

"If General Lan withdraws immediately, the officer will pretend that General Lan never came."

"Tian Wei, you go out of the city to meet Lan Yu for a while to see if he is trying to plot a rebellion." After finishing speaking, he ordered the captain of the city gate guard, the one who made Zhu Yuanzhang and Erhu feel sad.
