C890

This sentence makes all officials keep silent, even dare not breathe, for fear that they will be killed.

Xiao Ruo Ao took a few deep breaths and managed to suppress his anger. He said in a cold voice, "Wang Chong!"

Wang Chong quickly climbed forward and said respectfully, "I'm here."

"I don't care what method you use. In three days, you can collect 20000 soldiers. If the army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty arrives in Yingtian, you can't get 70000 soldiers, I'll ask you." After a pause, he said, "and don't bluff me with the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled!"

"Yes." Wang Chong's face is wrinkled as if he had eaten Huanglian. Let alone 20000 yuan, it's hard to make another 2000 yuan. But Xiao Ruo Ao's golden mouth is open. If he refuses, it's hard for him to survive. What can he do?

"Retreat." Xiao Ruo Ao drank impatiently and left with a room full of cold sweat.

Back in the imperial study, the warden had just given birth to the charcoal basin, and before he could get warm, Li Dafu carefully handed over the tea and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, have a cup of tea to warm your body."

Xiao Ruo Ao took it in his hand, but he didn't drink it. After a while, he put it heavily on the edge of the red sandalwood, which shocked Li Dafu and all the palace people. No one dared to make a sound.

"Come to see me."

"No Li Dafu rushed down to deliver a message. Bu Chong was Qiao Chu's deputy. After Qiao Chu died, he took over Tianji Wei.

After a while, bu Chong appeared in the imperial library. He was a pretty boy in his twenties. He looked like a weak scholar. It was hard to imagine that he would be the head of tianjiwei.

"Yes, your majesty." Before Bu Chong's voice fell, Xiao Ruo Ao waved impatiently, "have you found out what I asked you to check?"

Although the two countries were mortal enemies, the expedition of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was so sudden that there was no sign before, which made him a little confused. So he sent Bu Chong to investigate the incident.

"Found some." Bu Chonggong said in a respectful voice: "the sudden dispatch of troops in the Northern Zhou Dynasty seems to have something to do with the death of Huang Sanzi."

Xiao Ruo Ao said unexpectedly, "the third son of the emperor?"

"Yes, not long ago, Yu Jin, the third son of the emperor, suddenly drowned in the river. According to the investigation, she was killed by a woman named Qiushui in the palace of the king of Qi. The emperor of Zhou was very angry and threw her body into the mass grave several days after her death. "

" women? " Xiao Ruo Ao murmured and asked, "why does she want to kill a prince?"

"This humble position has not been found yet. According to the rumor, this woman was picked up by the king of Qi in the mountains a few years ago. She has been working in the palace of the king of Qi. The king of Qi liked her very much and wanted to marry her for a time, but she was stopped by the empress." Seeing Xiao ruo's displeasure, he quickly said, "I'll find out as soon as possible."

Li Dafu wants to talk but stops. Xiao Ruo Ao catches a glimpse of his expression and says, "do you have something to say?"

Li Dafu quickly bowed himself and said, "if you return to your majesty, I'm thinking, if the attack of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is really related to the death of the emperor's third son, is it possible..." They mistook Qiushui for us? "

A word awakens the dreamer!

The more Xiao Ruo Ao thinks about it, the more he thinks it is possible. He will immediately follow this conjecture and make sure to investigate.

Three days later, Xiao Ruo Ao didn't wait to come to Bucheng, but he waited for the news that Zhou army was coming to the city. A total of 200000 troops stood at the head of the city and looked down. They could see nothing but black heads.

At the same time, Wang Chong finally recruited 20000 soldiers again, but he used the method of forced conscription. In Yingtian area, every male who has reached the age of 18 must be called into the army. But even so, there are still not enough people. In desperation, he reduced his age to 16 and finally managed to get enough.

Although he finished the task and saved his head, he made the people complain and the people complain. Xiao Ruo Ao didn't know about it, but he didn't acquiesce in Wang Chong's practice.

In his view, keeping Yingtian is a top priority. Compared with it, the so-called popular sentiment From a certain point of view, it was Xiao Ruo Ao who pushed the Western Chu to the end step by step.

The arrival of Zhou Jun has made the weather extremely tense. No one knows when the fight will start and when Yingtian is broken

The streets that used to be prosperous are now desolate. Except for the soldiers who patrol from time to time, they can hardly see anyone else. The ground is covered with fallen leaves, and the people are hiding in their own homes. They will never go out unless necessary.

"Not yet?" In the face of Xiao Ruo Ao's censure, bu Chong knelt down and said, "I'm incompetent. Please forgive me."

"Hum!" Xiao Ruo Ao stares at him with a bad complexion and says, "do you even want to move south?"

The proposal of moving to the South last time was forced down by him, but with the arrival of Zhou Jun, the ministers began to feel uneasy again, revealing the meaning of moving to the South openly and secretly, which made him very angry.

Bu Chong was shocked and knelt down in a hurry, saying: "I have no intention to be humble. I hope your majesty will check it out!"

Bu Chong's attitude made Xiao Ruo Ao quite satisfied. He waved his hand and said, "OK, get up."

Bu Chong breathed a sigh of relief. When he got up, he said, "although I haven't found out what your majesty told me, I have a good news to tell you."Xiao Ruo Ao was inquiring. Suddenly his eyebrows moved and he blurted out, "but those things have arrived?"

"Your Majesty is wise." Bu Chong said with a smile: "it has arrived in the city, waiting for your Majesty's order."

"Good! Good Xiao Ruo Ao walked excitedly in the hall, showing his first smile in recent days. He clenched his fist and said in a cold voice: "this time, I will let the 200000 soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty never return."

Bu Chong's eyes flashed, and he came forward and said, "I have a good news to report to your majesty."

Xiao Ruo Ao pressed the excitement in his heart and said, "speak."

Bu Chong said in a low voice, "Your Majesty's ships have been built. They can be launched at any time, and it's just the east wind blowing these days."

His words made Xiao Ruo Ao's face more and more full of joy. He swept away the previous haze and said with a smile, "it's really good news. It seems that God is on our side this time."

Bu Chong ingratiated himself and said, "Your Majesty is the one. Of course, heaven is on your side."

Xiao Ruo Ao was very helpful. He praised him and said, "you have done a good job. After you have defeated the army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, I will give you a lot of rewards. But now, you can do one thing for me first."

"At your Majesty's command."

Xiao Ruo Ao motioned Bu Chong to come over and whispered in his ear. The latter wrote it down carefully and said respectfully, "I'm going to do my humble job."

Dongfangze doesn't know all this. He is discussing with Zhang Qiling and other lieutenants how to attack Yingtian. Yingtian gate is the highest and thickest of all the cities. It's not easy to break it.

A deputy general surnamed Liu, who was straightforward, immediately exclaimed, "what else do you want? Just bombard with guns. I don't believe that a stone wall can block the attack of guns."
