I Don’t Want To Be the Emperor

Chapter 201 Breaking the City

 Tancheng has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. The city walls are tall and solid, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and even more majestic.

 The world's first-class majestic gate!

 Throughout the ages, I don’t know how many famous generals have failed here!

 Hence, even generals like Mei Jingzhi and Yuan Qing did not dare to attack.

Zhang Mian stood on his horse, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a young man standing on the city wall, holding a bamboo joint in his hand and wearing fluttering clothes.

 “Sir, that is divine calculation.”

 Wang Tuozi reminded.

 “I’m not blind yet!”

Zhang Mian looked at the city gate angrily. Bodies were everywhere and it was a mess.

　　The peasants walked in and out of the city gate with their hands on their shoulders. The vendors set up stalls at the city gate as usual, with mountains of goods piled up behind them.

 Such a big city was captured like this?

Moreover, he faced troops several times his own!

How on earth did these people do it?

Damn it!

He really didn’t want to live anymore, and he wouldn’t even have the face to see anyone if he told him!

The siege is slightly as good as the people.

 “Master Zhang,”

Liang Qingshu was working on his abacus. When he saw Zhang Mian riding his horse, he quickly stood up and said, "It's not easy to capture Tan City. The wall is too high to climb.

 Fortunately, there are powerful brothers among us, and we finally climbed up, one against ten!

Ha ha

It’s really vulnerable! "

 “How dare you!”

 The more Zhang Mian thought about it, the angrier he became, "Han Hui has hundreds of thousands of people, you are so small, you are really not afraid of death!"

  Sanhe implemented a policy where all civilians, old and young, were trained in the militia.

 But the training intensity is completely incomparable to that of officers and soldiers!

 In his eyes, they are always just a mob!

“Master Zhang, Yuezhou is no better than Sanhe. It’s getting colder and colder, and it’s also raining. Brothers really can’t bear it anymore.”

The butcher said carelessly, "I thought the city walls here were tall and there were many rooms, so I rushed in to take shelter from the rain. It was better than starving and freezing outside.

 Thanks to the darkness and rain, just climb up and cut one at a time.

Then the city gate was opened. Those Guizhou people were really interesting. They rushed past on their elephants, but the rebels turned around and ran away, not daring to fight at all.

Mr. Zhang, you don’t know how hard it was for us to chase these rebels. "

"Son of a bitch!"

Zhang Mian really wanted to hit the butcher with a whip and beat him to pieces.

You're attacking the **** city just to avoid the rain?

 Who would believe it?

The butcher loudly echoed, "He is indeed a bastard, and he runs very fast."

 “Where is Han Hui?”

 Zhang Mian said coldly.

“Thanks to the divine calculation, Han Hui originally ran away from the southwest gate, but the divine calculation directly chased after him!

"Those who were captured alive are being held captive now."

When Liang Qingshu saw Zhang Mian looking at the goods behind him, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhang, don't worry. This time, I haven't taken any of the food from Tancheng. I've put it all in the granary. I'm afraid that other brothers won't know." It’s okay, Li Sanniang has arranged for someone to guard it.”

They were already on tenterhooks when Baiyang City took advantage of Prince He, and now in a big city like Tancheng, they were plucking hair from Prince He again!

 Do you still want to die?

 In short, they also have a bottom line as a human being!

At the gate of the city, there were so many people that Zhang Mian could not squeeze out on horseback. Finally, Wang Tuozi shouted: "Master Zhang is here!"

 The civilians who came in and out took the initiative to give up their positions and wait for Sanhe officers and soldiers to enter the city.

By noon, He Jixiang and his infantry followed him into the city.

Looking at the devastated Tancheng, I couldn't help but sigh. This was once a prosperous place in the world, second only to the capital and Jiangnan!

“Are you Han Hui?”

He Jixiang turned around and looked at the bearded man in front of him wearing a python robe and jade belt.

 “If I don’t change my name when I work, I won’t change my surname. I am Han Hui.”

Han Hui snorted coldly, "If you want to kill or chop me, please feel free to do it yourself!"

 “Han Hui, do you really think you are a hero?”

He Jixiang said in a deep voice, "You were also born into poverty, but why did you kill and plunder? There is not even one out of ten left in the huge Tan City!"

Han Hui laughed and said, "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me!"

,"

He Jixiang waved his hand and said, "If you are stubborn, take him down."

 Zhang Mian came over and said, "Sir, Master Zhou is here."

Behind him was an old man with gray hair and ragged clothes, his waist stooped and his eyes filled with tears.

 It was Zhou Jiuling, the chief envoy of Yuezhou.

"Who are you."

Zhou Jiuling rubbed his red and swollen eyes and looked at He Jixiang with a look of disbelief.

"Brother Renxi, you and I are of the same age."

He Jixiang laughed and said, "Did you forget about me?"

 “How can we forget Brother Hongjian? I think back when Brother Hongjian rode on horseback and paraded through the streets, what a heroic figure he was.”

Zhou Jiuling wiped away her tears and said, "It's just that right now, I feel like I'm dreaming."

 A auxiliary army suddenly appeared in front of him, and he defeated the rebels and saved himself. No one could react.

I don’t know how to call it.

He Jixiang raised his hand and said, "Brother Renxi, please sit down. Come and serve tea."



It is really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi!

There is still a time when I am a thief with such a thief!

 “Brother Hongjian,”

Zhou Jiuling did not sit down, but said anxiously, "Have you seen my wife and children?"

 “Haha.” He Jixiang laughed and said, “Come here! Invite Brother Renxi’s family up.”

"yes!"

Zhang Mian answered loudly and left the lobby. Soon there were more than a dozen people behind him, including young and old, men and women. When he suddenly saw Zhou Jiuling, he looked in disbelief.

The family hugged each other and cried.

 “My poor daughter!”

Zhou Jiuling was devastated when she learned that her daughter had committed suicide after being harmed by the rebels.

He Jixiang waved his hand and asked the people next to him to step aside, leaving only Li Sanniang to arrange everything.

 In the evening, He Jixiang held a banquet.

After washing up and changing clothes, Zhou Jiuling patted the sleeves of his robe twice when he saw He Jixiang. He was about to kneel down when he was stopped by He Jixiang's hand.

 “Brother Renxi,”

He Jixiang smiled and said, "You are really embarrassing me."

“If it weren’t for Brother Hongjian, how could I have seen the light of day again?”

 Zhou Jiuling's tears became more and more abundant.

 “Brother Renxi, saying that these are all nonsense,”

He Jixiang helped him up and said, "Why do you and I need to be so polite? Now that Tan City has been restored, it is really a great joy. Brother Renxi, we should be happy."

"Yes Yes,"

Zhou Jiuling cried with joy, "Your majesty is wise and has not forgotten my old minister!"

 He Jixiang let go of his hand.

 Zhou Jiuling knelt directly on the ground, facing north, "Long live my emperor!"

He Jixiang said calmly, "Brother Renxi, you have been in prison for a long time, and you probably don't understand the situation outside. Now His Majesty has meditated, and the one who reigns is the prince. It is the first year of Zhengchang."

"ah"

 Zhou Jiuling suddenly fell to the ground.
