In the backyard of the government office of Zhangde Mansion, the commander Wang Chaoxi was sleeping soundly with two concubines from a wealthy family in Zhangde Mansion.

Some people may still sound high-sounding when the world is peaceful and pretend to be kind and righteous gentlemanly. But if the world is in chaos, these people may first abandon etiquette, righteousness, integrity, shame, morality and ethics.

This is how Wang Chaoxi was.

He relied on the power of his wife's family to become a fourth-rank commander, so he often talked about his wife. He always said that his wife was so good, and often said that those who took concubines were shameless and vulgar, and were heartless.

But now the world has just changed. He retreated from Huaiqing Mansion to Zhangde Mansion, and he was the one who kept playing with women all the way.

In his sleep, Wang Chaoxi seemed to have seen the two personal maids who were the former prefect of Huaiqing Prefecture Lord Qian. In the past, he would swallow his saliva whenever he went to Lord Qian's mansion to see the two personal maids, but this time he finally dared to extend his claws to them.

The boss's energy had just tied up the two close maids. Before Wang Chaoxi could even cut their clothes with a knife, he suddenly felt a burning pain on his body.

Wang Chaoxi woke up immediately and opened his mouth and shouted, "Come on, there is an assassin!"

"Shut up!"

A cold shout scared Wang Chaoxi, and at this time, two women who were sleeping next to him, woke up without any strands. The two screamed in fear, subconsciously grasped the quilt and leaned against the corner of the bedside.

Only then did Wang Chaoxi realize that all the candles in the room were lit. His subordinates were standing beside a heroic young man when they were 7th grade.

At the same time, there was a tall man with a big body, big waist and round waist, as well as several men with cold faces.

Wang Chaoxi could see at a glance that Jiang Xia was the leader among these people. He asked tremblingly: "Who are you? Why did you trespass into the wing of our official? Ma Ma Lao Si, what's going on?"

Ma Laosi secretly glanced at Jiang Xia and quickly explained: "Sir, this is the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion from the capital, and the Longtou of the Royal Family Dragon Investigation, Lord Jiang Xiajiang, was ordered to help the general of Zhenguo quell the rebellion."

"My Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion? Jiang Xia?" Ma Laosi suddenly remembered Jiang Xia, a new favorite who had been mentioned in the past two years.

Wang Chaoxi quickly lifted the quilt and got out of bed and bowed to Jiang Xia and said, "Sir, please see Lord Jiang."

Jiang Xia nodded and said with displeasure: "Henan is in chaos, and there are rioters and refugees everywhere. As a military general in the court, you are responsible for guarding the city gate. You don't think about how to supervise the city defense, but you are so romantic and happy here. You deserve to die."

Wang Chaoxi did not dare to refute at all, and kept nodding, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,

Jiang Xia looked at Wang Chaoxi with anger. The most urgent task is to ask Zhu Houzhao's whereabouts, so although Jiang Xia was angry, he did not talk much about this matter with Wang Chaoxi.

Jiang Xia said: "I ask you, where are the soldiers of the general of the capital's Zhenguo now?"

When Wang Chaoxi heard this, he immediately replied: "Master Huijiang, the general of Zhenguo has been passing through the obstacles and killing the generals after entering Henan. He had left Zhangde Mansion and went to Kaifeng Mansion for more than ten days ago. Calculate the speed, I'm afraid it may not be necessary to have arrived in Kaifeng at this time."

"Arriving in Kaifeng?" Jiang Xia was shocked when he heard this. He brought the five hundred spies of the royal family dragon sting to chase him from the capital in a light clothing. He had almost no delay along the way. How could he be so far from Zhu Houzhao's itinerary?

Jiang Xia shook his head and said to himself: "It's impossible. He has the burden of supplies and shouldn't have been so fast."

"Package?" Wang Chaoxi said after hearing this: "Master Jiang, General Zhenguo did not bring his baggage team to the road together. The five thousand soldiers who were escorting the baggage had just left Zhangde Mansion, which was only about three days."

"Didn't bring supplies?" Jiang Xia shouted in dismay.

He stood up and his face changed immediately.

At this moment, Jiang Xia had a bad premonition in his heart. He felt that something might happen to Zhu Houzhao. Although Jiang Xia was not good at leading troops to fight, he still had basic common sense.

As the saying goes, the three armies will take the lead before they move their food and supplies, so how can they lead troops to fight without food and supplies?

Jiang Xia made a quick decision and said, "Go! Go on the road immediately, be sure to catch up with the baggage team first."

"Yes!" Zhang Meng, Bu Jinyun, Qian Jueshang and others answered in unison.

And as Jiang Xia expected, something happened to Zhu Houzhao.

The four troops he brought out from the capital, plus the troops of the garrisons he collected along the way, a total of 100,000 troops entered Kaifeng Prefecture.

As the ancient capital of the seven dynasties, Kaifeng, Henan Province has a very grand and magnificent architecture. In addition, the city is high and thick, so before entering Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhu Houzhao thought he would encounter a hard battle.

Who knew that when Zhu Houzhao finally arrived at the downstairs of Kaifeng Mansion, the city gate was covered with a faint silence, and there was not a single figure on the city tower.

Zhu Houzhao and his army easily took Kaifeng without any effort. Zhu Houzhao did not expect this situation and was very puzzled. Why did the treacherous thieves surrender Kaifeng Mansion?

Zhu Houzhao couldn't think of an accurate answer to this question, but Liu Jin and Huang Feiyue, who followed him, gave a conjecture that convinced him very much.

"Those rioters were all mobs. It was just a lucky chance to take Kaifeng Prefecture before. Now that they heard that the imperial court's army of quelling the rebellion came with great force, they must have no courage to fight and fled early."

"My emperor is wise. His divine power is like a heavenly soldier and general descending to earth. How dare these thieves stay with their mantis arm as a chariot? Of course, they should leave early and get better soon."

Liu Jin and Huang Feiyue asked them to play official strategies. Setting up a plan to cheat people may be their strengths, but if they asked them to lead troops to fight, they both became laymen.

Anyone who knows a little bit about common sense in marching and fighting can see the extraordinary thing here. There is not a single figure in the entire Kaifeng Prefecture, and there is not even a shout of a livestock, just like a dead city. Isn’t this obvious that something is strange? Unfortunately, none of these people thought of this.

He was also very happy to be able to successfully take down Zhu Houzhao of Kaifeng Prefecture. He ordered the defense to be immediately set up in Kaifeng City. At the same time, he ordered the granary of the city tower to see how much surplus grain was left.

At noon, the soldiers guarding the city, both Beijing and local soldiers, started to yell, and the Huotou Army, who was specifically responsible for making meals for the soldiers, was beaten up.

Why? The reason is that the soldiers ate rice soup at noon today.

Wrong, then there is no rice soup, it’s just a bowl of clear boiled water.

Kaifeng was once the fief of Zhu Su, the fifth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Su, the Zhou king, during the Jingtai period, because the person who inherited the throne was a concubine's son, he was moved out of Kaifeng and given a remote place as a fief.

The original Zhou Palace also became the palace where the emperor visited the spring tour. At this moment, Zhu Houzhao lived in this palace.

Because he had been lingering with Li Feng all night, Zhu Houzhao slept until midnight.

With the help of Li Feng, he had just washed up and left the bedroom. As soon as he walked to the front hall, Liu Jin came to report that Gao Jia, the commander of the Weihui Mansion, came to ask for a meeting.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao summoned them immediately. After seeing Zhu Houzhao, the four commanders knelt down and saluted, "See General."

Zhu Houzhao nodded. Compared to "Meet the Emperor", he felt that he seemed to like listening to the sentence "Meet the General".

Zhu Houzhao said, "Don't give me a gift, why did you come to see me?"

"Report to General, something is not good. We have sent people to search the Kaifeng Mansion, but there is no food or grass. Now the army has cut off food and don't know what to do. Please tell us." Gao Jia bowed and said.

When Zhu Houzhao heard that the army had cut off food, but there was no food in Kaifeng Mansion and suddenly felt something was wrong.

However, before he could speak, Liu Jin said, "There is no food in Kaifeng Prefecture. Is there no food outside Kaifeng? Send a few troops to collect food from house to house of the people outside Kaifeng Prefecture. Could it be that our soldiers will fight on hungry?"

Gao Jia looked at Liu Jin coldly. He didn't know Liu Jin's identity, but he just felt that this person's words and actions were feminine and harsh, and it was annoying.

Gao Jia later said to Zhu Houzhao: "Please tell me the general."

Gao Jia did this obviously ignoring Liu Jin. Liu Jin was extremely angry, but he was not easy to get angry.

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and couldn't think of any other good solutions at the moment. He nodded and said, "Let's do as he wants first. When the army that escorts the grain arrives, then return the grain to the people."

Gao Jia sighed slightly, nodded and responded: "Yes, General."

As soon as Gao Jia's words fell, a soldier suddenly ran into the hall in a hurry. The soldier ran and shouted loudly: "Report"

After entering the hall, before Zhu Houzhao and others were asked, the soldiers knelt down on one knee and saluted: "My lords, the big thing is not good. A large number of enemy troops appeared around the city gate. Now all the exits of Kaifeng Prefecture have been surrounded."

"What?" Zhu Houzhao was suddenly panicked.

Gao Jia shouted in distractedly: "No, I've been trapped."

He just finished saying this and remembered something and shouted louder: "No, food and grass are dangerous!"

Indeed, can you send an army of 200,000 to 300,000 troops to rob your food and grass?

The army escorted the baggage just walked into Qi County in Weihui Prefecture, and was surrounded in the county town even if they had time to walk out of Qi County.

Knowing that the baggage was of great importance, the escort general came to the east gate and resisted to death, so he delayed for two days.

However, the baggage army is now suffering heavy casualties, and the remaining troops can continue to fight less than 2,000, so I am afraid that it will never be able to continue to resist.
