Chapter 356： frighten yourself

   "Let's leave from Hanzhong Mansion," the lieutenant said with bitter hatred in his eyes, "kill all the way, and let the Han people remember that our Jurchens are not so easy to bully."

But someone hesitated: "Sir, there are chasing soldiers behind. If all this is a conspiracy of the Han people, will there be soldiers who ambushed in advance in Hanzhong Mansion?"

The lieutenant's expression changed, thinking of the sudden siege of Jingzhao Mansion, and the fierce attack they encountered, the reinforcements did not arrive for a long time, and even the messengers who went out to deliver the letter did not return. Qi Xiuyuan returns to help...

The lieutenant    was in shock, why did they break out so easily? Obviously, Qi Xiuyuan let them out on purpose, in order to relieve their pressure. Five thousand people are indeed a little worthless in front of tens of thousands of troops, but what if these five thousand people are all elite soldiers?

Those who can follow the general to break out of the siege are all their Jurchen warriors, who can block three with one, and if these five thousand elite soldiers are all used in defending the city, they can block about twenty thousand people.

The lieutenant's face changed dramatically, and he muttered: "We have been calculated, all of this is a trick of the Han people, there must be more than 2,000 people on the tower, they hid their troops, and there may be people in the Hanzhong mansion. We were eager to attack Xingxing. Chengguan, so I didn't realize it, they must be waiting for them to ambush us when they go back."

"Sir, what should we do?"

"Going from the east line of Hanzhongfu, I remember there is a road there, passing through Donggu and going straight to Wuguan."

The lieutenant gave an order, and everyone immediately gathered the team and went to the east line of Hanzhong Mansion. Seeing this, Mu Shi, who was chasing, narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't know if this was the other party's conspiracy, but he had to ensure that they would start from the east. After crossing the line, he wouldn't turn around and harm the people of Hanzhong Mansion, so Mu Shi immediately brought people not far or near to catch up.

If it were normal times, the lieutenant would definitely be able to find something wrong, but the death of the single person gave him a fatal blow, and he was frightened by himself before, and now he is full of confusion. He only knows to hurry to Wuguan and attack Qi Xiuyuan from behind. , as well as atonement for their failures.

"Mu Qianhu, Wuguan is in front."

"Chengdu, where Wuguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, is no less than Xingchengguan. There are generals there. We have few people, so don't worry about it. Go back to Hanzhong Palace, close the city gate, and enter a state of alert."

The arrival of Mu Shi made the prefect of Hanzhong Mansion burst into tears. He has been living in fear and dire straits for the past two days. The staff advised him to take the opportunity to escape, and he was also moved, but looking at the people outside, he couldn't move, and now that Mu Shi came, he finally didn't have to suffer.

Mu Shi sent someone to deliver a letter to his daughter, and he stayed in Hanzhong Mansion.

The Hanzhong mansion, which was like an empty city, came alive in an instant. Flags were planted on the tower, and the gates were opened to let all the people in. It was closed at night. Not only the yamen guarded the tower, but also young men volunteered to help defend the city. .

Mu Shi reassured Fang Zhifu: "The general never gave up the Hanzhong mansion. We drove the Jinbing away from the eastern front. All this is in the general's calculations." Then he regretted: "It's a pity that we are not strong enough, otherwise Ambush the next party in Hanzhong Mansion, and we will definitely wipe out all the Jin soldiers."

Fang Zhifu forced a laugh, even though he was annoyed in his heart, it was not easy to get angry at this time, he was still waiting for Mu Shi to guard the city for him.

It sounds nice, everything is in the calculation, it is not certain whether Xingzhou Prefecture can be defended before, anyway, he knew that the Hanzhong Prefecture was unprotected by Qi Xiuyuan for two days, and he and the people of Hanzhong Prefecture were also frightened for two days.

Seeing the annoyance flashing in Fang Zhifu's eyes, Mu Shi didn't know how to explain it. He just scratched his head, thinking that he should wait for the generals and military advisors to come back and let them deal with it.

Mu Shi felt that he must be very angry if he were himself, but he is a soldier now, and fighting is inherently risky.

At this time, Mu Yangling had just followed Xu Shi to Wu Shancai's house.

Mu Shi went to chase people, she stayed on the tower to deal with the follow-up matters, and when she had arranged everything, she remembered Wu Jin, and hurriedly called the three guards to ask, only then did she know that Wu Jin was detained by his father down.

The guard said angrily: "Girl, Wu Shancai wants to escape, so he can escape by himself, and he has to arrest Wu Gongzi. All of us have been arrested to the prefect's house, which has been delayed for a long time. We should have been there long ago. It's here."

"So has Wu Shancai escaped now?"

"No," said one of the guards triumphantly, "Didn't the girl call two people to look at him? When they found out that Wu Shancai wanted to escape, they went to inform the city gate. Anyone can leave, but Wu Shancai couldn't let go. I was forced to come back again." After saying that, he laughed.

Mu Yangling raised his eyebrows, "I remember it was the yamen in the official yamen who guarded the South City Gate?"

The soldiers in the city are all on the city wall, and the southern city gate can only be guarded by the yamen. Aren't those people Wu Shancai's subordinates?

"We said, if they dare to let Wu Shancai go, no matter whether the battle is won or lost, the general will definitely take their flag when they come back, and even their family will not end well. Wu Shan is the official of the imperial court. Even if he was demoted, these yamen must be charged with the crime. These yamen’s ancestors are all in Xingzhou, and they are most afraid of their relatives, so Wu Shancai is angry, but he can’t get out.”

"Then why is he willing to let you go?"

"Young Master Wu persuaded him," the guard said triumphantly. At that time, Wu Jin looked at his father with grief and indignation and said, "Father, this bow and arrow are used to kill the enemy's generals. It's done, the siege of Xingzhou can be solved. No, they tried their best, but if the bow and arrow are not delivered to Miss Mu, no matter whether the city can be defended or not, the fallen soldiers and civilians will be counted on your head, even if the saint can let you go, this Xingzhou Can the people of the mansion and Hanzhong mansion let you go? Can brother Qi Xiuyuan let you go? Father, I know your painstaking efforts, but you also think about your son, your grandson, and the ancestors of the Wu family. Zong think about it, we don't want to bear this infamy, we don't want to!"

Wu Shancai was flushed by his son's words, and glared at his son with shame and anger: "Am I willing to run away? I'm not for you, or I left early last night, wicked son, wicked son, how did I give birth to you? Such a son?"

Although he scolded fiercely, Wu Shancai released Xu Shi and the three guards and handed over the bows and arrows to them, but detained the remaining seven guards and his son. He didn't know why he did this, anyway. After doing this, I felt a lot more at ease.

Wu Jin was crying so much that tears came out of his nose and snot. At this time, he wiped away his emotions and knelt on the ground with his neck shrunk.

Wu Shancai saw his heart twitching, and he was angry. This son was usually weak and incompetent, but when it came to the critical moment, he tried his best to hold back his loyalty and righteousness. This was the case every time. good thing?

Wu Shancai stared at his son in grief and anger, and didn't ask him to get up, so when the servant reported Mu Yangling's request to see him, Wu Shancai was still staring at his son who was kneeling on the ground.
