Chapter 166: Brutal

Li Chuang was uneasy and felt that there was a big net covering everything, making him unable to struggle and falling into a deeper and deeper quagmire.

He looked tired, his eyes were red, and he had lost weight several times in the past few days.

In the temporary tent, Li Chuang sat upright and tried his best to remain calm. He glanced around the hall, and for some reason, he felt a sense of desolation.

Li Guo is no longer there, Yuan Zongdi is no longer there, Tian Jianxiu is no longer there, Liu Zongmin is no longer here... The seats of the hardcore heroes in the past are all replaced by new faces.

He sighed secretly, suddenly cheered up, and said: "Kaifeng is just ahead. We veterans want to attack Kaifeng urgently. We will attack it in three days."

Everyone was silent.

Li Chuang turned sideways and cupped his hands to the two strangers who were half a head shorter: "The fate of the rebels depends on this, gentlemen, please!"

Mr. Ma and Mr. Wang nodded slightly.

The atmosphere in the tent was tense. Song Xiance took a breath, stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, according to the destiny of heaven, has 40,000 elite soldiers. If Kaifeng has no soldiers or generals, it will be defeated. According to the students, more than three days, at most In one day, I was able to take the heads of King Zhou and Gao Mingheng, and take away the gold, silver, money and food from Kaifeng. From now on, the sky is high and the sea is vast, why don’t you just let it go?!"

Li Chuang showed a smile and nodded slightly.

It's not that he hasn't thought about running away, but the road is not that easy. Behind him, on the sides, there were hidden dangers that loomed over his back. It was not like he had not been tested along the way, but he never came back.

Only opening the seal, only determined to open the seal, is the only way out.

By conquering Kaifeng, he can obtain enough supplies. The wealthy and noble people in Kaifeng are all pigs in his eyes. The millions of households in Kaifeng City are his source of troops.

As long as Kaifeng is captured, the situation can be reversed.

With enough supplies and manpower, no matter what you do, there is room for change.

It's a joke that Li Chuang has reached this stage because of his talent, but he is not without all his merits. Facing a desperate situation, Li Chuang had the determination to survive.

He knew very well the consequences of turning back to fight the enemy - the odds of victory were too small and the danger was too great. Everyone fears death and seeks life, and so does Li Chuang. He was very afraid of that being who could defeat thousands of armies. He was afraid of being beheaded and seizing the flag.

And even if they win, it will definitely be a tragic victory. The 40,000 troops under his command are his last capital. If they are gone, what is the meaning of victory?

Li Chuang is not Liu Bei. Liu Bei had his ups and downs, but his reputation was not bad, so he became Emperor Zhaolie. But Li Chuang's reputation has already reached the streets. In the past, you could deceive and deceive the people, shout a few slogans, and everyone would follow. Now that he has done so many evil things, no one believes him anymore.

If he falls again, it will be difficult for him to get up.

The most important thing is that his iron rods are gone.

Once he falls, how many of the new faces in front of him will still listen to him?

Only by opening the seal, only by breaking the seal, is the way out.

Otherwise, once he falls, a few ordinary people may kill him!

"Send the order, let the brothers eat and drink enough, and attack Kaifeng early tomorrow morning!"

...

People in Kaifeng city are panicked. Gao Mingheng became an ant on the hot pot and was so anxious that he couldn't help himself. Every hour, he sent people to the Prince Zhou's Mansion to inquire whether Zhenren Li had returned.

And sent seven or eight groups of people to ask for help in all directions.

Li Chuang is here again!

But this time, Kaifeng was without Chen Yongfu. Without Chen Yongfu, he took away more than 10,000 elite soldiers. Even the man who relied on him as his backer, Zhenren Li, was nowhere to be seen.

Gao Mingheng couldn't sleep or eat well. In just one day, he had several big bubbles on his lips.

He came to Prince Zhou's Mansion again, and when he saw Prince Zhou speaking, he asked: "Your Highness, Master Li hasn't returned yet?!"

King Zhou couldn't hold himself back and said uneasily: "I haven't."

But he quickly changed the subject and said, "Where are Ying Yi's soldiers and horses? Have you ever found them?"

Gao Mingheng said hurriedly: "We have found it! There is a troop of troops in Zhuxian Town, but there are not many of them. I have sent people to reward them, but there is no response yet!"

King Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhuxian Town? That's good, that's good. Not far, not far."

He seemed to be comforting himself.

Gao Mingheng hesitated and said: "Your Highness, Zhuxian Town probably only has a few thousand soldiers and horses, but the intruders...the intruders have camped ten miles away. If nothing happens, they will attack the city soon. I'm afraid I won't be able to resist them."

King Zhou had no other choice. He even stripped off his beard in a hurry and had only one move: "Send another 50,000 yuan as a reward. Master Gao, I have to stop the bandit now no matter what!"

He seemed to be saying to himself: "Ying Yi has strong soldiers and horses, but it will definitely take a few days to reach Kaifeng. As long as he can block it for a few days, he has a chance of winning..."

When Gao Mingheng saw this, there was a look on his face that he was hesitating to speak. After a moment, he made up his mind and said: "Your Highness, I am afraid that Kaifeng cannot be defended. Chen Yongfu took away the elite soldiers, and the rest were all newly recruited local warriors, with no fighting capacity. ! Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Highness, the son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall..."

King Zhou still didn't understand what Gao Mingheng meant, so he flatly refused: "Governor Gao, Kaifeng is my fiefdom and your place of governance. You and I both have the responsibility of guarding the land. There is no need to say more, I only have one The requirement is to hold on to the city wall, no matter what. If you want money, give money, and if you want food, give food!"

Gao Mingheng's lips trembled and he was finally speechless. Finally, he sighed, bowed and turned around to leave.

After Gao Mingheng left, King Zhou thought about it, his face changing, he sighed slightly for a long time, and called the housekeeper.

"Go and make some preparations. The gold and silver are fine and the cars and boats are moving, just waiting for my king's order..."

...

After solving Niu Jinxing, Zhang Shi's subordinate Ye Bushou spread out again, his eyes spread within dozens of miles around Kaifeng, watching all the movements at all times.

However, Ying Yi did not leave and was still lingering along the Beida River in Kaifeng. But it is to eliminate any possibility of the dam breaking.

The rain is getting lighter and lighter, and gradually disappears. The sky is getting brighter. After destroying Niu Jinxing, they also defeated a bandit group of about 5,000 people. As Ye Bushou dispersed, the bandits no longer had any intention of breaching the dike, so Ying Yi felt relieved.

Li Zhenren's master and apprentice followed Ying Yi. In addition, there was also a small flag who was responsible for picking up and delivering information so that Ying Yi could know all the conditions around Kaifeng at any time.

At this moment, Ying Yi and his party were standing on the river embankment with their horses, and the rolling yellow river water was passing by. The loose sky reflected the Yellow River, and a golden line appeared between the water and the sky. The halo is really beautiful.

"...So the intruders are already planning to attack the city?"

Ying Yi looked at the water and said calmly.

Ye Buzhan said: "Back to my lord, it seems so. An hour ago, the intruders set up camp. They will probably rest all night and attack the city probably tomorrow."

Ying Yi nodded slightly: "How is the situation with Zhu Bingkun?"
