The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 349 Strong
As the saying goes, the number of people exceeds ten thousand, covering the sky and covering the earth. Now the number of the Jin army is [-]. Standing on the city wall, there is a large crowd of people. From a distance, the sense of oppression is still very strong.

Zhao Tao is the magistrate of Licheng. At this time, he was also standing on the city wall, looking at a large group of people in the distance, his heart was already in his throat.

"Zhang Wu, look, there are so many people in the army of the Kingdom of Jin, how many of us are there, and what kind of people are guarding the city, you should be clear in your heart, I really don't know what's going on in your mind. What are you thinking, you still want to resist the Jin army, you are looking for death!" Zhao Tao pointed to Zhang Wu in front of him and said loudly.

Zhang Wu looked at the Jin army rushing towards him from a distance, and to be honest, his legs were shaking all the time. If it wasn't for Hao Jingcheng standing next to him, he really seemed to order to open the city gate at this time.

But seeing Hao Jingcheng nodding towards him at this time, Zhang Wu took a deep breath and said to Zhao Tao: "Master Zhao, you and I are officials of the Great Song Dynasty. Naturally, we should be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty at this time. We can How about letting Jin Jun into the city casually?"

Hearing what Zhang Wu said, Zhao Tao trembled with anger, pointed at Zhang Wu and said, "Why are you pretending to be arrogant with me here? This is not the first time that we have opened the city gate and surrendered. Even if we are from the Song Dynasty Officials, let’s open the city gate and surrender when the imperial army comes, you are a smart person, why don’t you use me to teach you?”

If it was before, Zhang Wu would naturally do what Zhao Tao said, but now, Zhang Wu can't do it.

"I understand what you said, but the situation this time is different from the past. Now the Jin army is retreating and being chased and beaten by the court's Yue family army, so we must now resist the Jin army outside the city. This is a great opportunity for us to commit crimes and make meritorious service!" Zhang Wu said to Zhao Tao, the two of them got along pretty well before, so even though Zhao Tao was very angry at this time, Zhang Wu still spoke to Zhao Tao very calmly.

Hearing what Zhang Wu said, Zhao Tao couldn't help being angry, and said to Zhang Wu: "No wonder you warriors are uneducated. You know how to wield knives and guns every day. Thinking about problems is too simple, just like It's what you said, short-sighted!"

Hearing what Zhao Tao said, Zhang Wu frowned and looked at him, asking: "Master Zhao, what do you mean by this sentence?"

Zhao Tao is a smart person, and naturally he thinks about the problem much more profoundly than Zhang Wu, and in the Song Dynasty, culture was more important than martial arts, and Zhang Wu always listened to what Zhao Tao said, but this time Zhang Wu didn't talk to himself. After discussing it, he directly decided to close the city gate to resist the Jin army. Zhao Tao was naturally very angry.

"What do you mean? Let's not talk about whether you, more than 1 people, can resist the Jin army. Even if you can withstand the attack of the Jin army, the Jin army has temporarily retreated. If the imperial army comes, then what can you do?" How about it? It is impossible for the imperial army to stay in Licheng forever. When the imperial army retreats and the Jin army makes a comeback again and goes south again, think about your fate, right?" Zhao Tao said to Zhang Wu .

Zhang Wu was also taken aback when he heard what Zhao Tao said, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Hao Jingcheng.

Hao Jingcheng looked at Zhang Wu in front of him, and said softly: "The Jin army will be maimed by the Yue family army this time, how can we send troops south at that time? At this time, the Great Song Dynasty, His Majesty's rich country and strong army are no longer the same. The Song Dynasty is bullied by others."

When Zhang Wu heard what Hao Jingcheng said, he felt a little relieved. In fact, what Hao Jingcheng said was right. If he could stop the Jin army outside Licheng this time, then he would be a great achievement no matter what he said. Maybe he can be promoted in time, so he won't stay in this ghost place.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wu nodded, and said to Zhao Tao: "Okay, Mr. Zhao, don't talk too much. I have made up my mind on this matter. As a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, this time, I must do it for you. The court is loyal."

"Stupid!" Zhao Tao yelled, and at this time he could tell that the scholar next to Zhang Wu was the one who advised Zhang Wu. He looked at Hao Jingcheng in front of him and said coldly: "What are you doing?" Who is it? Is it the secret work of the imperial court?"

Hao Jingcheng smiled at Zhao Tao and said, "Master Zhao, please be safe and don't be impatient."

"It's all because of your random ideas that caused today's situation. Someone, hurry up and pull this Shuzi out for me and chop it up!" Zhao Tao said to the people next to him.

After the people next to him heard it, they were about to go over and take Hao Jingcheng down.

Li Biao, who was behind Hao Jingcheng, walked forward and said in a cold voice, "I'll see who dares!"

There were not many guards around Zhao Tao. At this time, Li Biao and others cleaned them up, and they immediately calmed down. This group of people and the few people in Lijiazhuang are obviously not on the same level.

"Zhang Wu, these people are your subordinates?" Zhao Tao said to Zhang Wu with wide eyes, "Could it be that you just let them behave like this, and when the Jin army breaks the city, it will be you and me who are unlucky! "

Hearing what Zhao Tao said, Zhang Wu shook his head and said, "Master Zhao, these people are not my subordinates."

"You..." Zhao Tao choked for a moment. Both of them were appointed by the imperial court. In the past, Zhang Wu was quite polite to him, and he always looked after him, but he didn't expect that at this time, he would suddenly It was at this time that Zhao Tao's sense of superiority as a civil servant disappeared.

In troubled times, only those who have the military power can be considered to have the right to speak. Just like now, Zhang Wu has [-] defenders in his hands. If he really doesn't listen to his advice, he can't move him at all.

"Okay, okay..." Zhang Wu said "Okay" three times in a row, expressing his dissatisfaction, then turned around and was about to leave.

Hao Jingcheng gave Li Biao a wink.

Li Biao understood, and immediately stepped forward to stop Zhao Tao.

Zhao Tao was so angry, he turned his head and said to Zhang Wu: "Zhang Wu, what are you doing?"

Zhang Wu hesitated.

Hao Jingcheng said at this time: "Master Zhao, it's an emergency now, so I can only trouble you to wait here for a while."

Zhao Tao pointed at Zhang Wu angrily and said, "What's the matter, do you still want to restrict me? Zhang Wu, is this your order?"

Zhang Wu looked at Hao Jingcheng, saw that the other party did not speak, so he could only say: "Master Zhao, we are doing this for your own good!"
