"Pa, papa, papa." Applause suddenly rang out from the side, and a person walked out slowly.

Yuan Xi was shocked, and stood up. In a panic, the case in front of him was overturned. The jugs and wine glasses on the case were scattered all over the floor, and the oil lamp fell on the ground. The figure of the visitor appeared.

Queen Guo took a stride, stood in front of Yuan Xi, and stared at the person who came, with vigilant eyes.

"who are you?"

"Yingchuan Xinpi." Xinpi bent down and picked up the jug and wine glass on the ground, poured a glass of wine, and drank it down. "I didn't want to enter Ye City again, but I just heard my wife's high opinion. I'm happy, I'm happy."

"George?" Yuan Xi recognized Simpi, overjoyed, stretched out his hand to push Queen Guo away, and walked in front of Simpi in two steps. "George, it's really you."

Simpi nodded, but looked at Queen Guo and smiled slightly. "There are so many martyrs in Yanzhao, and even the women are different. There is Zhen Mi in Zhongshan, and there is a wife in Anping. Although Tian Feng is old and comatose, he chose a wife for the general with good intentions."

Seeing this, Queen Guo also relaxed and bowed to salute. "It turned out to be Mr. Xin, sorry for being rude. Mr. Xin is here, and the general has a brains, so I don't need to babble, and the big things can be settled."

When you're done, you're ready to leave.

Simpi returned the gift. "Madam, if you want to make a big deal, I'm afraid you need Madam's help. Please wait a moment, Madam, and listen to me."

Yuan Xi looked at Simpi anxiously, and then at Queen Guo.

Queen Guo pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I will pay all my attention to Xin Jun's high opinion."

Chapter 919 The Hero of the Women's Middle School

Yuan Xi was overjoyed at Simpi's return.But Yuan Xi didn't quite understand that Xin Pi left Queen Guo behind.

It was only based on his trust in Simpi that he didn't say anything.

Simpi greeted Queen Guo, and then asked about the general situation of her family.

The Anping Guo family was originally a big family, and Queen Guo had several brothers.However, in these years, wars have been frequent and homeless. Queen Guo's parents died in the war, and several elder brothers also died one after another. Only the married sister and younger brother Guo Biao depended on each other. This is the last hope of the Guo family in Anping.

Simpi sighed. "I'd rather be a dog of peace than a troubled world, and be honest and not deceive me. The disaster in Jizhou originated from Zhang Jiao brothers. It is really wrong for foolish men and women to be confused by heretics and cause great disaster. Now the judges are blindly strong. , wanting to burn tens of thousands of people inside and outside the city of jade, and how different it is from Zhang Jiao brothers."

Queen Guo also sighed and echoed: "As Xin Jun said. It is a good thing that the emperor is sage and the great man is prosperous. The people of Jizhou should be rejoicing and sharing peace. However, the examination and distribution are stubborn and ignorant of current affairs. The last trace of vitality in Jizhou is also It will be destroyed in his hands. If Jun Xin can assist the general and overcome the difficulties together, it will be a great virtue, and it will surely benefit his descendants."

Xin Pi hurriedly said a few words of modesty, and then asked about Queen Guo's plan.

Queen Guo was also polite and explained her original intention.

She and Yuan Xi were newly married, and many people came to congratulate her.From those few words, she could feel that as time went by, the pessimism in the city became stronger and stronger.Although the Son of Heaven has never ordered the siege of the city, no one thinks that Yecheng can last too long. They all think that this winter and next spring, Yecheng will be destroyed.

One of the reasons is the simplest: there is only so much food in the city, and it cannot last long.

As the administrative seat of Jizhou Mu and Jizhou Governor, Yecheng has a large population, and its food reserves have not been sufficient, so it has to rely on other counties for support.The trial and allocation started to make preparations for perseverance last year, but they only prepared food for more than a year.

The trial plan is very simple. The emperor will besiege the city for a year, and the consumption will be huge. It is bound to increase gifts to the Central Plains, and the Central Plains will be in chaos.

As a result, the emperor besieged but did not attack, and spent his time in Jizhou, which disrupted the trial and allocation plan.Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, the Son of Heaven will be supplemented with money and food from Jizhou, but Yecheng is sitting on the mountain, even a woman who is not familiar with military affairs knows what the result will be.

Failure is inevitable, the only difference is when you lose.

Many people support trial and match and oppose the imperial court, not because they want to rebel.After Yuan Shao was captured, it became an unrealistic hope to change the dynasty, and the trial and appointment did not have such prestige.They just want to advance and retreat, to bargain with the court, and to resist Dutian.

Now Dutian has been implemented and it is irreversible. They can only lower their expectations and just want to save their lives.

Based on this understanding, Queen Guo felt that Yuan Xi should stand up and oppose the almost crazy plan of trial and match, to save herself and others.If you can succeed, maybe you can also make meritorious service.

Simpi deeply agreed, and immediately discussed with Queen Guo, asking her to meet with the family members of some generals in the name of return visits, to understand the mentality of those generals from the side, and to test the possibility of their betrayal.

Queen Guo agreed, bowed and retreated.

After Queen Guo exited the courtyard, Yuan Xi couldn't wait to ask Simpi about her visit.

Xinpi drove himself to Youzhou, met Xun You, spent the fields in Hejian, went to Xingzai, met the emperor, and gave a general account of the meeting with Zhang Yun and Gao Lan, and finally said:

"The emperor refuses to negotiate with the judge. If we want to survive, we can only rely on ourselves."

Yuan Xi took advantage of the situation and raised his own doubts. "This matter is related to the life and death of countless people, how can it be handed over to a woman?"

Xin Pi glanced at Yuan Xi, hesitant to speak.

In his opinion, Queen Guo is much smarter than Yuan Xi.If he could only choose one person to cooperate with, he would rather choose Queen Guo than Yuan Xi.

It's just that when employing people, Yuan Xi still needs to cheer up and not hit him too hard.

"Don't worry, general, not to mention that Madam has no possibility of cooperating with the judge, even if there is, it will not affect the overall situation."

Simpi then explained his plan again, and took out a few articles for Yuan Xi to read first.

Yuan Xi took it, and glanced at the words Jizhou Yinfang on the article, feeling a little sour in his heart.

The object of the initial marriage was Zhen Mi, but Zhen Mi escaped from the marriage in the name of going to Beiyue to worship the gods. Now she can actually preside over Jizhou Yinfang.

Compared with the emperor, I am really useless.

Yuan Xi suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and after reading a few articles, he was greatly surprised.

These articles were all written by great Confucian scholars, and one of them was written by Xu Jing, his predecessor in Runan.Not to mention the article, seeing Xu Jing's name makes people dare not underestimate it.

According to Xinpi's plan, once these articles spread, the hearts of Yecheng will definitely be shaken.

Of course, the most attractive thing is Guanzhong's Dutian results.

It is true that many rich families suffered losses when the Dutian was promoted in Guanzhong, but they got the silk business and gained considerable benefits.Even if the loss of land cannot be fully compensated, the loss is not as great as imagined.

At least not worth their lives.

"If that's the case, the people in Yecheng will collapse." Yuan Xi let out a long breath.

Although Xin Pi still resists Du Tian to a certain extent, at this moment, he has no choice but to vigorously promote the benefits of Du Tian. "The general's words are very true, so it's not difficult to convince the generals. As for the judge, he is the chief culprit, and he is doomed to die. Believe it or not, it doesn't matter. What we care about most is to get rid of its foundation and make him unable to support himself. Sometimes, you can even cut off his head."

Yuan Xi nodded repeatedly, with a cruel smile on his face. "And Tian Feng and his son."

-

Simpi did not live in Yuan Xi's residence.

After meeting Yuan Xi, he quietly left.

Although the interrogator arranged for people to monitor Yuan Xi, Yuan Xi's personal guards were still from the Yuan family, and many of them were Jianghuai rangers.They don't have a good impression of the judges, and they are not interested in dying with the judges.Seeing Simpi go and come back, Yuan Xi not only has a chance to save his life, but also has the possibility of atonement, so he is naturally willing to cooperate with Simpi.

Xinpi wandered in the shadow of Yecheng, distributing printed articles, looking for targets to instigate rebellion.

With the cooperation of Queen Guo, he quickly got in touch with some generals from Jizhou.Under his coercion and temptation, many people chose to cooperate.

Even if someone turned his back on his word and wanted to catch Simpi and report his merits to the judge, he failed.

Simpi came so suddenly that he didn't give them a chance to prepare.He went in secret, and once he went out, he was nowhere to be seen.

In a few days, when the news came from outside the city that the imperial army was approaching from all directions, and that Xuzhou Inspector Liu Bei, the former general Duan Yao, the left general Yang Feng, and the right general Dong Cheng cooperated to cross the Zhangshui River, the people in the city also began to shake. Please lower the voice is getting louder.

When the judge heard the news, he was furious and ordered people to investigate everywhere, but they couldn't find the source.

He was very disturbed. On the one hand, he sent people to strengthen the city defense and prepare to face the imperial army. On the other hand, he sent people to gather the generals to unify their thinking and mobilize before the battle.

The result disappointed him greatly. Almost all the generals had no confidence in defending Yecheng, and many of them euphemistically proposed that they should surrender immediately before the army besieged the city.

The judge was shocked and angry.

At the critical moment, Tian Feng stood up.

Chapter 920

Tian Feng pulled out a roll of paper from his sleeve and waved it up. "Has anyone read "On the Advantages and Disadvantages of Dutian" written by Xu Jing from Runan?"

The generals looked at each other.

Even those who have never been in contact with Simpi have at least heard of this article.

The reputation of Yuedan Ping is too great. As one of the hosts of Yuedan Ping, Xu Jing knows a thing or two even if he is a martial artist.

Many people are willing to cooperate with Simpi, and this article is a key factor.

"It seems that there are still people who don't know." Tian Feng smiled slightly. "Then I'll read it once, and listen to it." After finishing speaking, he cleared his throat and began to recite the article.

The judge's face was livid, his brows were tightly frowned, and he was unhappy.

He doesn't know what Tian Feng means?Afraid that the influence of this article is not large enough, I specially read it here to let everyone know?

When he read this article, he was almost moved.If he hadn't considered that the land in his hometown had been confiscated, even more thoroughly than Dutian, he might have considered surrendering.

Tian Feng was not in a hurry, he read the article in a cadence, and finally smiled.

"Do you think it's concise and well-founded?"

The generals still didn't speak, but their eyes showed their attitude.

They also felt that Xu Jing's article was well-reasoned and logical, but...they were really reluctant to hand over the land just like that.

"But have you ever thought about it, since saving the land is so beneficial, why hasn't Runan saved the land so far?"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and they were all a little stupid.

They didn't know if Runan had Du Tian, ​​but they instinctively believed in Tian Feng.Since Tian Feng said that there is no Dutian in Runan, then there must be no Dutian in Runan.

"Dare to ask you gentlemen, since Xu Jing from Runan is so in favor of saving the fields, why doesn't Runan save the fields?"

As Tian Feng said, he tore the article apart until it was torn into a pile of pieces, and then threw it away.

Scraps of paper were scattered all over the place.

"Do you also believe what Ruying people say?" Tian Feng sneered and looked around. "Why did I come here in Jizhou? Isn't it because of the Ruying people? Even now, you still listen to the one-sided words of the Ruying people, thinking that if you surrender, you can avoid death. How is it different from children?"

There was a dead silence in the hall, but the expressions of the generals changed obviously, and many people lowered their heads.

The judge was overjoyed, and couldn't help secretly praising Tian Feng for his cleverness.

This is the bottom line.

Ruying people are hypocrites, and they can't believe a word.

Tian Feng waved his hands, and continued: "The Xun family in Yingchuan is attached to the imperial court, and Xun Yu's daughter enters the palace as a nobleman. The emperor treats the Xun family well, but did Yingchuan save the land? No. Brother Yuan Benchu ​​burned the palace first, After raising troops, the Son of Heaven pardoned him for the crime of mortal death, which cannot be called intolerant. Did Runan spend his fields? Not at all. However, Xun You and Simpi spent their fields in Hejian, and they didn’t leave any room.”

Tian Feng stopped and sighed. "Could it be that I, a Jizhou native, are so stupid that I've been played by the Ruying people over and over again? I'm treated as a sacrifice by them, and I still want to cheer for it?"

There was a dead silence in the hall, except for some heavy breathing.

After a while, someone stood up and clasped their fists. "In your opinion, sir, what should I do?"

"It's very simple." Tian Feng calmed down, and said lightly: "It's okay if we want to be ministers, please ask the emperor to issue an edict to pardon the lords. Ruying people can't be trusted, but the emperor can be trusted. As long as you see the edict of the emperor's pardon, You don't have to worry about the future, you can open the city to welcome you at any time."

He turned his head to look at the judge, and chuckled. "Of course, the Son of Heaven raised a hundred thousand troops and spent thousands of gold, so there must be no one to take responsibility. Zhengnan, you and I share the responsibility."

The judge was taken aback for a moment, then straightened his body and nodded slightly. "That's right."

Seeing the generosity of Tian Feng and Shen Pei, someone immediately said loudly: "No. We Jizhou people advance and retreat together, share the difficulties and share the blessings, how can we be safe and sound, and make the two sacrifices? In this way, with the Ruying people What's the difference?"

"Exactly, we will advance and retreat together." More people were angry and shouted loudly.

Even if some people feel that this is inappropriate, in such an atmosphere, it is not easy to express their objection, so they have to express their position along with others.

Tian Feng strikes while the iron is hot, suggesting that the judge send someone out of the city to meet the emperor and express the common will of the soldiers in the city.If the emperor is willing to accept, then they will open the city and surrender, if not, then they will have to fight to the end.

Yecheng is high and deep, so it is not so easy to conquer.As long as everyone is united, they will surely defeat the siege army and let them see the strength of Jizhou people. Maybe the emperor will reconsider his decision.

As for the words of the Ruying people, just treat them as farts, which are totally unacceptable.

Everyone expressed their approval.

The auditing went smoothly and the suggestion was accepted.

-

Dismissing all the generals, Shen Pei and Tian Feng returned to the inner hall and let out a sigh of relief.

"Brother Yuan Hao, if it weren't for you, today's situation would be over."

There was no smile on Tian Feng's face.He stroked his beard and pondered for a long time. "Zhengnan, are you willing to surrender?"

The smile on the judge's face disappeared, and his eyes became stern. "My Shen clan's property has been confiscated and my clansmen have been imprisoned. Even if I am willing to surrender, so what?"

"What about the disciples of the Shen clan? Are they also willing to sacrifice their lives for righteousness with you?"

The judge frowned even more tightly.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, his sons Shenying, Shenjun and nephew Shenrong have expressed their desire to die many times.

It's just that, he was embarrassed to tell Tian Feng.

Seeing this, Tian Feng let out a long sigh. "Jizhou is in such a catastrophe that there can be no death festivals. The future of future generations can be expected, and this death festival will be left to you and me to do. You send people out of the city, find a way to contact the Ju brothers, and express your heart."

The judge stared at Tian Feng for a while, then nodded. "I am not alone if I can go to Huangquan with brother Yuanhao. It's just... what about the Ruying people? I, Jizhou, have suffered so badly from them, I can't just let them go."
