  Chapter 758 All People Are Soldiers

  Chu Nanzhi dozed off in a daze, and when he opened his eyes, it was already daylight.

  Hearing the noisy movement outside, she immediately realized that the Yizhou Army had arrived in Anhe County, and she didn't have time to wash up, so she hastily adjusted her makeup, and hurried out of the room.

   Knowing that Chang Lao and Nie Lao had rushed to the city gate, she told Liu Yun to lead Abi and Achun to stay in the post to take care of the little treasures, and then took Sang Qi straight to the city.

  Arrived at the door, suddenly ran into Xie Jingchen and Li Shiyao, Chu Nanzhi saw his uneasy expression, shook her head lightly and said, "You can't go out."

  Xie Jingchen knew that it was not good for him to show up at this time, so he nodded with a smile on his lips and said: "You must be careful, I will take good care of the old lady and the child for you."

   "Thank you."

  Chu Nanzhi responded and left.

  The city was already in a panic at this time, and the people who didn't know why were running and whispering:

   "It's all right, why did the imperial army come to our county, is it going to fight again?"

   "I heard that they came to intercept Princess Pingning."

   "Yes, I heard that she attracted the soldiers and horses from Yizhou just after entering the city last night. Maybe she did something wrong?"

   "That's really a catastrophe. I heard that the governor of the Tang Dynasty has ordered that if the county magistrate doesn't hand over this Princess Pingning, they will massacre the city."

   "Then let's ask the county magistrate to hand over the person, so as to save everyone's life."

"I don't think anyone would dare. This Concubine Pingning is a great person. I heard that she helped County Magistrate Hu solve many unjust cases and appealed to others. Then King Pingning is a good official who cares about the people. It was not because he fought against the gentry and gentry that the policy of land equalization was implemented in all counties and counties. How can we forget the roots of where you all came from to cultivate the fields."

At this time, a scholar in white clothes stood out from the crowd, looked at the crowd solemnly and sneered coldly: "Right now, Mr. Chang and Mr. Nie have personally boarded the city. The cruel and heartless King Qinghe is now openly rebelling!" , want to detain Prince Pingning’s family as a threat, but you are so greedy for life and afraid of death that you want to sacrifice Princess Pingning, how can your conscience be?”

  Everyone thinks back to the oppression of the gentry and gentry in these years, but with the order of land equalization, they have cultivated land, and they are deeply moved for a while.

  Thinking about the old lady Chang who went to the city in person, this is the heart of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. Naturally, the person he would risk his life to protect would not be a rich man.

The young and strong children who were fleeing in the crowd stopped one after another, and some of the gentry children also pulled out their sabers from their waists, and shouted to the guards beside them: "That gentleman is right, old lady Chang! Fu Nai, the elder of the three dynasties, has a great reputation, and King Pingning is the posthumous son of Prince Ting'an, and now the old matriarch Fu went up to the city gate to protect our Anhe County by himself, how can we be greedy for life and afraid of death."

   After finishing speaking, he waved his hand, and said righteously: "If anyone is not afraid of death, follow me to the city to resist the enemy."

  The white-clothed scholar also shouted loudly: "I will defend Anhe County to the death, and protect Princess Ning comprehensively."

   For a while, the crowd was excited, and people picked up the farm tools and knives they used for farming at home, and went straight to the city gate with great momentum.

   This scene moved Chu Nanzhi so much that she led Sang Qi to follow behind the crowd and rushed to the gate of the city.

   Arriving in the center of Debei City, from a distance, you can see the figure of Chang Lao Nie on the city wall and the soldiers looking down at the outside of the city.

  The city was even more uproarious, and children of noble families and common people began to gather from all directions.

I saw Chang Yanjue leaning on his crutches and facing the Yizhou army outside the city and shouting sharply: "Tang Yi, do you also want to rebel with King Qinghe? The lives of the people, if you want to enter the city today, you have to step over the body of the old man."

  Nie Huai'an also gazed at the Yizhou army below the city with eyes full of spirit, and said righteously: "Today, the two of us are willing to die to awaken the hearts of scholars in the world."

  Hearing the shouts from the city, Tang Yi also fell into hesitation.

  Nie and Chang's families are now the largest noble families in the Central Plains except for the Qinghe dignitaries, and their influence is no less than that of the Xie family in the previous dynasty.

   Not to mention in the north, Chang Lao is the spiritual leader of the children of the family in the south of the Yangtze River.

  If I hurt the elders today, even if I can help King Qinghe win the world in the future, then I will become the target of everyone's criticism.

   At that time, in order to appease the anger of the public, King Qinghe will definitely give up his soldiers to protect the car, not only for himself, but also for his whole family.

  Thinking of this, he quickly motioned to the archer who was ready to shoot: "Don't hurt the elders, put down the bow and crossbow, and break open the city gate for me."

   As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chu Nanzhi's figure appearing on the city wall. He then signaled the soldiers to stop attacking again, and shouted towards the city: "The governor of Yizhou, the next official, has seen Princess Pingning."

   "Tang Inspector, you led the army to chase after untold hardships to Anhe County. Could it be that you want to make an enemy of the governor of Langzhou?"

  Chu Nanzhi looked down at Tang Yi on horseback, and asked solemnly.

   "The lower officials dare not."

Tang Yi replied: "The lower official was just ordered to invite the princess to take a rest in Yizhou. Right now, King Qinghe and King Pingning are holding their own opinions. Princess Yuanxi died in Pingning Prefecture. I hope that the princess will be sympathetic to the old minister and Qinghe. Princess Qinghe's painstaking efforts, Princess Qinghe is only one younger sister, she died in vain, and as an elder in the clan, I have to ask for an explanation for her."

   "So this is why you besieged the imperial city?"

  Chu Nanzhi sneered and said, "So this is the reason why you lead a large army to harass the people?"

   "The lower officials dare not."

Although Tang Yi came here with 50,000 iron cavalry, he was determined to win, but he was a little guilty by the aggressive aura of her and the second elder, and explained earnestly: "The official guarantees his life, as long as the princess is willing to be with the next When the official returns to Yizhou, the next official will never hurt the concubine and the little princesses."

   "You are really delusional."

At this time, the white-clothed scholar from the city also came up to the city, and led the nobles in the county to promise Chu Nanzhi and the elders: "Princess and elders, don't worry, we are willing to fight with County Magistrate Hu even if we die today." Guard Anhe County."

  The young and strong people in the city also boarded the city one after another, holding the weapons in their hands tightly, staring at the densely packed Yizhou army below the city as if they were dead.

   "Why are you like this."

Seeing this majestic momentum, Tang Yi also gradually felt the prestige of King Pingning and his wife, and shook his head helplessly: "I have no intention of making enemies with the army and people of Langzhou. Don't you make Langzhou's governor and The governor is in a difficult situation, and King Qinghe's 300,000 cavalry are about to go south, do you want Langzhou to be reduced to a dead city?"

   "He dares."

  Tang Yi had just finished speaking, when he saw flags fluttering on both sides of the east and west, dust was everywhere, and a steady stream of cavalry surrounded from everywhere.

   "Tang Inspector, if you dare to invade our city of Langzhou today, the governor will let you come and go."

   Seeing that it was Ji Rongheng leading the army, Tang Yi felt timid, so he had to signal the army to turn around and leave in a disgruntled manner. He couldn't help but feel wronged by his brother:

  His agreement to let Ji Rongheng come to Langzhou is obviously shooting himself in the foot.
