The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Xu Xueyan actually had no experience in leading troops in war, and his knowledge of military affairs was limited to a few military books.

But he just felt that at this time, King Chu could not take the lead in running away, but should take the lead in defending the city.

So he bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, Hanyang is located in the north of the Yangtze River, and it lacks major generals. The city is not tall, so it will be a matter of time before it is captured by the bandits.

Jiangxia is located in the south of the Yangtze River. It has a tall city with more than 5,000 battalions and 5,000 rural soldiers. Yesterday, Xianguan also recruited more than 1,000 defeated troops.

As long as the king takes the lead in defending the city, and uses money to reward the soldiers and civilians, and makes everyone work together, Jiangxia will surely be defended! "

"Let King Gu take the lead in defending the city?" Zhu Huakui's expression was exaggerated, as if he heard a big joke, "What a joke! Gu is the king of Chu, and he is seventy, how can he risk his life to defend the city like those Qiu Ba?!"

Xu Xueyan looked ugly and wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Zhu Huakui with a wave of his hand.

"Stop talking about defending the city! Go and lead the Chu soldiers outside the palace now, and prepare to protect Gu, the princesses, princes, etc. from leaving Jiangxia!"

Although Zhu Huakui is seventy years old, he still has considerable control over the Chu Palace, while Xu Xueyan, a long-time official, has only been in office for a few years.

Unless he doesn't want to do it anymore, he can only do as Zhu Huakui says.

He thought for a while and realized that if Jiang Xia could not defend, his responsibility was indeed to protect the king of Chu from escaping safely, so he immediately took orders to summon the soldiers of the Chu government.

There was chaos inside and outside the city. In addition, the Chu soldiers had only been recruited yesterday and were not well organized. Therefore, it took Xu Xueyan nearly an hour to bring more than a thousand Chu soldiers to the Chu Palace.

What made him collapse was that Zhu Huakui was not ready at this time and was still supervising the palace stewards and servants to load gold and silver treasures into trucks - hundreds of large trucks were parked in the Chu Palace (the palace was actually a small palace). At present, only a little over 100 cars have been loaded.

He immediately went to Zhu Huakui to advise him.

"Your Majesty, if you want to leave, you can't delay it. You have to give up what you have to give up."

Zhu Huakui said: "You know nothing. If you don't have enough money, how can you support this whole family who is homeless? How can you support these many servants and the more than a thousand Chu soldiers you led?"

"Your Majesty..."

"Okay!" Zhu Huakui interrupted Xu Xueyan impatiently, "You will urge them to do it quickly, and you will first lead troops to set up defenses around the palace to prevent the mob from taking the opportunity to cause chaos.

Remember, be especially wary of those clans—those bitches, all of them are jealous of the treasures of the Chu Palace.

Eh? Be careful over there, that box is full of precious jades. If it breaks, you won't be able to afford the compensation if I sell it! "

Seeing this, Xu Xueyan had no choice but to retreat and go to set up defenses outside the palace. As a result, he found many people sneakily watching outside the palace.

I sent people over to arrest and question them, and found that they were all members of the clan.

The clothes of these clan members were not as good as those of some common people. It looked like they were descendants of the down-trodden clans at the bottom. It was not a crime to peek into the palace, so he let them go.

Chu Mansion soldiers.

Cao Yunfei, commander of the first battalion of the third regiment of Shengjie Guards, led a team of "Chu Mansion Soldiers" composed of Shengjie Guards and received the task of guarding the corner gate of the palace.

Seeing that everyone on the left and right was his own people, the captain of the victory team said: "Battal Commander, I think this King of Chu is probably cleaning up his treasures and preparing to escape. Why don't we take the opportunity to attack?"

Cao Yunfei glared and said, "The main force has not yet attacked the city. What are you doing now by attacking the Prince of Chu's Mansion? To steal the treasure."

The captain scratched his head and said: "I just feel that with more than 300 of us infiltrating the Chu palace soldiers, we are fully capable of taking down the Chu palace."

Cao Yunfei listened and said: "It seems that you have to ask the military and political officers to give you ideological and political lessons when you go back - for us soldiers in the army, completing the tasks assigned by the commander-in-chief is always the first priority.

What is the mission the commander has given us? Act as an internal support when the main force attacks the city, instead of taking over the Chu Palace! "

The captain immediately became serious after hearing this, "I know I was wrong."

After the two of them finished speaking, they heard faint shouts from the distance——

"The thieves are attacking!"

"The officers and soldiers can't stop us at all, run away!"

"···"

Upon hearing this movement, Cao Yunfei and a group of disguised Shengjie guards showed excitement.

Cao Yunfei immediately ordered: "The King of Chu must take part of the treasure and escape first. We will follow the original plan and escort the convoy of the King of Chu's palace to the city gate to block the city gate and welcome the army into the city!"

"understand!"

After all, Zhu Huakui was more precious about his life. Hearing that the Yi army had crossed the river and attacked outside the city, he ignored the remaining treasures in the palace that had not yet been loaded into carts, and asked Xu Xueyan to lead Chu soldiers to protect him and more than a hundred carts of gold and silver treasures out of the city first. .

As a result, the convoy was stopped by a large group of people not far from the gate of Prince Chu's Mansion.

"Your Majesty, you can't leave us alone!"

"Take us with you."

"Your Majesty, I am your ninth uncle..."

These people are all members of the Chu vassal clan!

I don’t know when hundreds or even thousands of people gathered near the Prince of Chu’s Mansion!

Seeing that the convoy was so blocked that it couldn't move, Zhu Huakui was so anxious that he got angry.

He got out of the carriage and shouted: "If you want to leave together, just leave! What are you doing around Gu's motorcade? Get out of the way, everyone, get out of the way!"

Some people nearby wanted to move away, but some people far away were still blocked and couldn't move at all for a while.

Zhu Huakui was so angry that he jumped to his feet, called Xu Xueyan over, huddled in the carriage and whispered: "Let the government soldiers drive people away - kill anyone who dares to stand in front of the convoy!"

"Ah?" Xu Xueyan was stunned, and then reminded, "Your Majesty, they are all members of the clan..."

Zhu Huakui asked: "Is the life of the orphan more important or the lives of these clan members?"

Xu Xueyan didn’t know how to answer.

Zhu Huakui said again: "Tell the soldiers of the mansion that as long as they protect the orphans from the city safely, each of them will be rewarded with ten taels of silver! If they can protect the orphans from leaving Wuchang Mansion, each person will be rewarded with another fifty taels of silver!"

Xu Xueyan sighed: "I understand."

Then he conveyed Zhu Huakui's words to the Chu soldiers.

Hearing that there was a silver reward to be won, the defeated soldiers in the government immediately took action. They did not directly use the knife, but gave a warning first.

"Get out of the way! If you don't get out of the way, we won't be polite!"

"The King of Chu has an order to kill anyone who blocks the way!"

"Make way quickly!"

"···"

Most of the clan members were frightened and tried their best to squeeze towards the roadside.

However, a few ambitious people on the periphery took the opportunity to shout: "These cars are filled with the gold and silver treasures of Chu Fan. They belong to all our clans. We can't let him take them away like this!"

"We are owed so much salary, it's time to get it back!"

"Let's go up and grab it together!"

Some clan members were so poor that they couldn't even finish a meal. They were really jealous when faced with more than a hundred carts of treasures. This matter was instigated by someone who was interested, and they thought that their status as a clan member could scare the officers and soldiers, so they gathered around and tried to rob the cart. treasure.

Zhu Huakui was completely anxious!

He opened the curtain, waved his arms wildly and shouted: "Kill them! Kill them!"

There were many veterans of the Ming Army among the defeated troops, and they did not take human life seriously. As for the clan - these days, ordinary clans are not as powerful as ordinary gentry.

Immediately someone started to kill with a knife!

Seeing this, Captain Shengjie Guard asked Cao Yunfei, "Batalion Commander, what should we do now?"

Cao Yunfei gritted his teeth and said: "Kill! We must send the convoy to the city gate before we can complete the mission!"

So Cao Yunfei took the disguised Shengjie Guards and other Chu soldiers to kill the clan in front of them.

Fortunately, most of the clan members were frightened when they saw the soldiers of the Chu government starting to kill, including some who were booing with ambition.

After pushing and shouting, dozens of clan members died, and the other clan clans that had besieged him finally dispersed.

The convoy of Prince Chu's Mansion was then able to drive towards the south gate.

Because some gentry and common people had already fled, the road ahead was less congested, but there was still a lot of chaos along the way.

In this way, about half an hour later, the motorcade arrived near the South City Gate.

There are still many carriages of gentry and wealthy merchants leaving the city, but fortunately there is no longer a jam.

Seeing the carriages from Prince Chu's Mansion entering the city gate one after another, and soon passed nearly halfway, Cao Yunfei winked at the captain beside him, and immediately shouted: "Do it!"

At the same time, a knife cut off one side of the rope holding the horse on the vehicle next to it, and the vehicle was immediately pulled over by the horses!

"kill!"

More than 300 Shengjie guards disguised as Chu soldiers followed closely, either cutting the ropes of horses like Cao Yunfei, or killing the Chu soldiers next to them.

Many Chu soldiers were immediately stunned!

After reacting, few resisted and most of them fled quickly.

A few money fans wanted to seize the opportunity to snatch the treasures in the car, but they were killed by the Shengjie Guards first - the treasures of the Chu Prince's Palace were all reserved by the Kuaibu.

Cao Yunfei released the fireworks signal and shouted: "We are the Yi army! The army has entered the city! Those who surrender will avoid death!"

While shouting, he gathered the Shengjie Guards to kill Zhu Huakui's carriage.

The city gate is blocked by these carriages and cannot be closed for a while. Now that the main task is completed, Cao Yunfei naturally wants to capture Zhu Huakui to gain more credit...

Second update.

Good night~
