"Your Majesty, not long ago, there was smoke from cooking in the inner layer of the camp outside the city." The person who came to deliver the news said.

"There is smoke from cooking? Do they have food? Who gave it to them?" Zhao Lun asked.

"I don't know. The four city gates have been closed and never opened, and no food has ever been transported out of the city." The man replied quickly.

Zhao Lun frowned, and his heart became more confused.

Since the city gates were not opened, where did their food come from?

Could it be...

Zhao Lun suddenly thought of a terrible situation.

Nanlin City!

Since the food was not transported out from Yanyang City, it must have been transported from other places, and the nearest city to here is Nanlin City!

The rebels in Nanlin City naturally don't have much food in stock, but Nanlin City itself has it. Duan Wanming must have stored a lot of food before, so the rebels in Nanlin City are not short of food at this time.

The rebels in Nanlin City captured a lot of imperial soldiers in the previous battle. Therefore, they must have had ideas about surrendering the imperial court's regular army. Therefore, after seeing those defeated soldiers blocking outside the imperial capital, they had an idea in their minds and wanted to take the opportunity to subdue those people. It is very likely!

In addition, the direction in which those defeated soldiers are moving now is Nanlin City. Everything seems to be right!

The rebels in Nanlin City bribed the defeated soldiers outside the city with food, and the defeated soldiers outside the city were too hungry. In addition, they thought they were abandoned by the imperial court, so they accepted the recruitment of the rebels in Nanlin City. They rushed to Nanlin City at this time, just to join forces with the rebels in Nanlin City!

The more Zhao Lun thought about it, the more likely it was that this was possible. The more he thought about it, the more chilled he felt.

The rebels in Nanlin City are already in trouble. If these tens of thousands of troops join in, it will be a huge threat, enough to threaten the safety of the imperial capital.

Don't forget that the defenders of the southern neighboring city also have tens of thousands of people, and they have surrendered to the rebels.

The rebels themselves are not terrible, their combat effectiveness is limited, but the strength of these regular troops of the court is absolutely not to be underestimated. Even Zhao Lun dare not ignore their existence.

More importantly, there are not many defenders in the imperial capital now. Once the army of the southern neighboring city comes, the imperial capital will not be able to defend it at all!

It is necessary to call for reinforcements from other cities, but distant water cannot save nearby fires. Those cities are far away from the imperial capital. Moreover, it takes time to reorganize the army, raise food, etc. By the time those troops arrive, I am afraid that the imperial capital has been captured by the rebels.

Once the imperial capital is lost, the throne that I have not sat on for a few days will be completely gone.

No, it must not be like this!

Thinking of this, Zhao Lun had already made up his mind that he must stop this from happening. He took advantage of the fact that the defeated soldiers outside the city had not yet joined forces with the rebels in the neighboring city to the south, and took the initiative to inflict heavy damage on the defeated soldiers. As long as they were defeated, the rebels would also be severely damaged. By then, the imperial capital would be much safer, and there would be hope to hold out until the arrival of the troops from other cities.

"Ask General Liu Fei to come to see me, quickly!" Zhao Lun ordered.

"Yes."

Soon, a burly, sturdy-looking middle-aged man came to the hall.

"I, Liu Fei, greet your majesty."

The man who came was Liu Fei, a senior general in the military system. However, he was not well received by Li Yang and was not valued on weekdays. When he saw that Zhao Lun had the opportunity to ascend the throne and seize the throne, he took the initiative to surrender to Zhao Lun. He was one of the first generals to surrender to Zhao Lun. Therefore, Zhao Lun valued him very much. After Zhao Lun ascended the throne, he handed over all the troops in the city to him to manage. At the same time, he also promised him that he would be promoted to the Minister of War in a few days.

"Stand up." Zhao Lun said: "General Liu, I called you here because I have something very important to tell you to do. Do you dare to accept it?"

"Your Majesty, just say it, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Liu Fei quickly expressed his attitude.

Liu Fei's ability is not very strong, but he doesn't think so. He thinks that he is not valued because of Li Yang's prejudice against him, or even jealous of his ability, and fear that he will threaten his position as the Minister of War.

After surrendering to Zhao Lun, Liu Fei felt that his chance had come, especially after Zhao Lun ascended the throne and became emperor, Liu Fei seemed to see the days of his own rapid rise.

The facts did not disappoint him. He did soon gain a lot of power and also received the promise of Zhao Lun, the Minister of War.

However, this promise has not been fulfilled for the time being, so Liu Fei naturally showed positive attitude in the hope that Zhao Lun would fulfill his promise as soon as possible.

"Very good, I really did not make a mistake." Zhao Lun said with satisfaction: "I hope you can send troops immediately to attack the defeated soldiers outside the city!"

"Ah?!" Liu Fei was stunned.

Liu Fei obviously did not expect that Zhao Lun would ask him to do such a thing. You know, he was still thinking about receiving the defeated soldiers outside the city not long ago. At that time, he would subdue them and he would have more troops to command, but he did not expect that Zhao Lun would actually ask him to attack the defeated soldiers outside the city.

They were his own people. Just because they lost the battle, they would be attacked?

Liu Fei was a little confused.

After a defeat, it is understandable to punish them, but there is no need to kill them all, right? What's more, the situation in the imperial capital is not very good now, and the threat from the neighboring city to the south is increasing. It is obviously not a wise decision to fight internally at this time.

Just when Liu Fei was thinking about whether he should persuade Zhao Lun, Zhao Lun spoke again.

"I have received reliable news that the defeated troops outside the city are about to surrender to the rebels in the neighboring city to the south. Once they join the rebel forces, it will be a huge blow to us. At that time, the imperial capital will be in danger "

Zhao Lun's words surprised Liu Fei even more.

Didn’t the defeated troops outside the city just fight the rebels in the neighboring city to the south? Why are they suddenly surrendering to the rebels?

However, if this is the case, Zhao Lun's decision would make sense.

"Time is running out, you lead your troops out immediately." Zhao Lun said: "We must defeat them before they reach the southern neighboring city!"

Liu Fei was still a little stunned. This incident had a huge impact on him. Many of those defeated soldiers were his former colleagues. It was indeed too sudden to suddenly become enemies.

"What? You take the order?" Zhao Lun said dissatisfied: "Then I'll go with someone else!"

"No, no." Liu Fei reacted and said quickly: "The general has given the order, and the general will lead his troops to fight immediately, and he is bound to defeat the rebellious army!"

What former colleagues, what former comrades-in-arms, how can they have rights and be important?

Liu Fei knew very well that once he lost Zhao Lun's trust, he would not be able to keep his current rights, let alone his position as Minister of War!
