Iron Dynasty

Jizhou City, Yongwang Palace.

Chen Xinran looked up at the strange thing slowly drifting from outside Jizhou City. Like him, the entire Jizhou City now noticed this thing.

The most important thing is that this thing also dropped a stone with a note tied to it. When the Jizhou defenders opened the note, they found him immediately.

General Chen, Your Highness is drunk, you should come back tomorrow.

In front of the gate of Prince Yong's mansion, the housekeeper of the mansion blocked Chen Xinran from the outside.

Since Jizhou City was besieged, King Yong was drunk almost every day. Although the other generals complained a lot, no one dared to persuade him because of King Yong's tyranny.

Chen Xinran was annoyed when he learned that King Yong was drunk again.

The last time I gave food and grass to the barbarians, not only did they not exchange for the barbarians to march eastward, but on the contrary, the barbarians looked down on them more and more.

The forage barbarians accepted, but they were only mocked as fools by the barbarians.

Chagatai was gone, but the barbarians led by Bei Shan succeeded him and continued to besiege the city of Jizhou.

Only then did they realize that they were just being tricked by the barbarians, and that what Bei Shan wanted was Jizhou City, not some insignificant food and grass.

Seeing that the barbarians did not retreat and the reinforcements were late, King Yong began to drink heavily every day and often punished his servants for flogging.

The servants in the palace have had a hard time this time.

Looking at the whip marks on the face of the palace steward, Chen Xinran blocked the gate of the palace that was about to close with one hand.

He said loudly: Today I have to see King Yong. Now the Qingzhou Army and the Imperial Guard are outside the city. If you want to lift the siege of Jizhou, you must cooperate with each other inside and out.

After saying that, he pushed open the door abruptly and walked inside despite the obstruction of the palace guards.

Chen Xinran had a high prestige in the Jizhou army, and was the younger brother of Princess Yong. He was so tough that the guards of the palace did not dare to stop him.

Before reaching the main hall, a burst of singing entered Chen Xinran's ears, accompanied by the sound of bells and drums.

Frowning his brows, Chen Xinran quickly arrived at the main hall, only to see King Yong in the main hall drinking red.

At this time, the two singers were lying in King Yong's arms and laughing.

Your Highness!

Standing outside the main hall, Chen Xinran shouted.

The sudden call stopped the singing and dancing in the main hall. King Yong glanced at Chen Xinran with drunken eyes, and said with a smile: Why are you here, did the barbarians come in? Hahaha, this king is waiting for them to come in. Come on, get a sword for this king!

The city was besieged and there were no reinforcements. King Yong felt a little self-sacrificing. He then shouted: What are you waiting for, go run away!

Chen Xinran frowned, and he said loudly, Your Highness, the Imperial Guard and the Qingzhou Army are now fighting fiercely with the barbarians outside the city. This is a message from the Qingzhou Army, asking us to observe the battlefield situation and attack the barbarians at any time.

Nonsense, are you really drunk when you are the king? Jizhou city is besieged, how can the Qingzhou army pass the news, can they still fly in!

Chen Xinran muttered in his heart that the Qingzhou Army really flew in.

He said: His Royal Highness, although this matter is strange, it is indeed the news sent by the Qingzhou Army. I don't believe that Your Highness and the last general are outside, and that strange thing is still in the sky.

King Yong laughed loudly, Okay, this king will go out with you and have a look. If you dare to deceive this king, be careful with your skin!

Shaking three times, King Yong followed Chen Xinran to the outside.

Because the speed of the hot air balloon is very slow, the hot air balloon has just arrived over the Yongwangfu.

Looking up at the things above his head, King Yong suddenly woke up most of his drunkenness.

He rubbed his eyes and looked at the strange thing and said, Did the thing come down from here?

It's absolutely true, please take a look, Your Highness, there seem to be people on it. Chen Xinran pointed at the hot air balloon and said.

At this time, King Yong took the letter from Chen Xinran's hand and glanced at it, and fell silent.

How did this thing fly in the sky? King Yong muttered.

Chen Xinran was also confused, he shook his head.

Since there are people above, does it mean that this thing can take this king out of Jizhou City. King Yong said in surprise, and he said, You go immediately and let them come down and take this king away!

When Chen Xinran heard the words, he already had the heart to slash King Yong with a knife. In front of the enemy, the commander ignored the life and death of the people in a city, but he had to run away alone.

He said: The end will not know how to let them down.

King Yong lived in fear all day these days. He ignored Chen Xinran and asked his servants to prepare horses. He chased after him alone.

As a result, the people of the entire Jizhou city saw King Yong chasing the things in the sky.

But from the south gate to the north gate, although King Yong shouted loudly, the strange things flying in the sky still did not fall.

Chen Xinran followed behind King Yong and looked at King Yong, who was scared to the point of going crazy by the barbarians.

At this time he asked again: His Royal Highness, the Qingzhou army and the Jizhou army are just outside the city, what should we do now?

King Yong looked angrily at the gradually disappearing strange thing, and he said: Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, no one can send troops at will!

After chasing him for so long, King Yong completely sobered up.

At this time, he felt a little more calm in his heart, but at the same time he began to calculate his own gains and losses.

...

On the official road thirty miles away.

The food and forage of the forbidden army entered the place where the forbidden army was stationed in turn.

After the food and grass arrived, Luo Hong breathed a sigh of relief. It was not terrible to have casualties, but the most terrible thing was that there was no food and grass.

The one in front is Luo Hong, General Luo.

Zhan Xingchang came with Qingzhou soldiers.

After the truce last night, the auxiliary soldiers set up camp overnight, and now the camp has grown to some extent.

Exactly! Excuse me, are you...

Luo Hong clenched his fists towards Zhan Xingchang, and he was delighted. The barbarian cavalry in front of him was staring at him, and then there were barbarian cavalry looting food and grass.

If the Qingzhou Army hadn't arrived in time, there would have been a big problem with their food and grass, so he was very grateful to the Qingzhou Army.

Moreover, the strong have always respected the strong. Luo Hong did not despise the weak generals of the Great Yu Kingdom, but he only respected the Qingzhou Army.

Now the combat strength of the Qingzhou Army has once again impressed him.

Xiaqingzhou Inspector Exhibition Xingchang.

Luo Hong was pleasantly surprised when he heard the words: I have been looking forward to it for a long time. It turns out that you are the governor of Zhan. This time, I would like to thank the governor of Zhan, otherwise the food for the forbidden army will be over.

General Luo, don't be polite, the barbarians should face the enemy together. He continued: I wonder what General Luo Hong's plan is next?

Luo Hong was stunned, thinking that the Qingzhou army is really quick talk, he didn't take the Chang'an officialdom, and said to Zhan Xingchang: Originally I was going to go directly to Jizhou, but I was blocked by the barbarian cavalry and couldn't move forward. Now that you are here, our combat power has doubled, so why not take the opportunity to force the barbarians to retreat and attack Jizhou to relieve the pressure on Fencheng.

Zhan Xingchang nodded and said indifferently, Just the general knows that the barbarians came with artillery this time?
