Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"Your Highness, you haven't understood the current situation yet? Yue Zhongping and Zhuang Wen have obviously been planning and preparing for a long time. I am afraid that the soldiers in Tianjiang Camp have already turned into traitors. We will continue to wait here, no less than Sit back and wait for death, in the opinion of the veteran, if we lead these garrison troops to rush out of the encirclement now, there may be a glimmer of hope."

Song Chengzhou knelt down towards Ning Fan with a hoarse voice.

"Master Song, do you think I have no backup plan? Since I know the conspiracy of Zhuang Wen and others, I must have a strategy to defeat the enemy. Don't worry."

Ning Fan waved his hand and signaled Song Chengzhou to quickly go into the yard to rest, but Song Chengzhou still refused to leave, with a look of doubt on his face.

As time passed, the thieves at the foot of the mountain launched several more attacks, but there was no doubt that they were defeated by Ning Fan's repeating crossbows each time and were unable to fight back.

The penetrating power of this continuous compound crossbow is amazing. Even if these thieves hold up shields, it will be of no avail. The shields in their hands will be penetrated easily.

Even the well-informed Song Chengzhou was shocked when he saw the repeating crossbows in the hands of Ning Fan's guards.

Suddenly, there was a burst of noisy sounds from the bottom of the mountain. Ning Fan looked down the mountain and saw the flag covering the sky and the sun.

When Song Chengzhou saw this scene, his face turned pale with fear and he couldn't say a word.

"Your Highness, if you jump down from the Qianjiang River, you may have a chance of survival. Please listen to my advice and don't defend here anymore. It is impossible for a garrison of two hundred people to stop these tigers, wolves and thieves..."

Song Chengzhou was on the verge of madness, and he warned him bitterly. In his eyes, Ning Fan was completely crazy.

"How do you know these people are not here to help us?"

Ning Fan smiled slightly.

"Your Highness, the soldiers and horses in the Tianjiang camp have long since become traitors. There is no way they can come to help us..."

Without even thinking about it, Song Chengzhou concluded that Ning Fan was just having a whim.

However, Ning Fan remained silent. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked down the mountain.

At this time, there was a cry of killing again from the bottom of the mountain, and the formation of the thieves also became loose for a while, and then an incredible scene happened.

The men and horses on both sides started a battle. The thieves fought and retreated. With no way to escape, they rushed up the mountain. More than two hundred garrison troops also began to fight desperately. Under the attack from both sides, the five hundred thieves quickly It's about to fall apart.

Seeing this scene, Song Chengzhou was stunned and had no idea what was happening.

It wasn't until Luo Yong, dressed in silver armor, came and knelt down in front of Luo Dong that Song Chengzhou realized that these soldiers were really here to suppress the rebellion!

"Your Highness! It turned out to be a canal transport troop. That's it. That's it!"

Song Chengzhou was so excited that he was trembling all over, and the eyes he looked at Ning Fan were full of admiration.

He didn't expect Ning Fan to be so farsighted at such a young age, that he had ordered people to mobilize the canal transport troops long before this.

"Master Song, I'm afraid those bandits from Tianjiang will attack Tianzhou City soon. Let's make preparations early."

"Leave matters in the city to Mr. Song."

After Ning Fan gave Song Chengzhou some instructions, he turned around and took Luo Yong and the remaining soldiers and horses directly to the city wall.

If the rebels in the Tianzhou Camp knew that Zhuang Wen and Yue Zhongping had been captured, the diehard loyalists under Yue Zhongping would definitely continue to lead the rebels to attack Tianzhou City.

"Your Highness, there are 30,000 soldiers and horses in the Tianjiang camp. If they all come to besiege the city, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for too long."

At noon the next day, looking at the smoke and dust in the distance, Luo Yong's face was densely covered with sadness.

Seeing Luo Yong's worried look, Ning Fan was not worried at all.

He had a chair brought over and sat down calmly. He even had the table set up, lit the stove, and started to warm the wine.

"Your Highness, how could you be so indulgent? This is a time of life and death."

Seeing Ning Fan's appearance, even Luo Yong became a little anxious.

"What's the rush? Haven't the others arrived yet? We'll talk about it when they get here."

"By the way, did Governor Song send someone to bring food? The soldiers cannot fight hungry. You send someone to talk to Governor Song and ask him to cook more meat."

Ning Fan ordered Luo Yong.

Seeing Ning Fan looking so rested, Luo punched the wall bravely, but there was nothing he could do.

In the afternoon, the rebels came as expected. Almost all the soldiers and horses of the Tianjiang camp were mobilized. Under the leadership of several dead men of Yue Zhongping, these rebels surrounded the entire Tianzhou like an iron barrel.

"Your Highness, I judge that these rebels will definitely attack the city at night. Our life and death are at stake tonight."

Seeing Ning Fan eating meat and drinking wine, Luo Yong almost cried.

How could Ning Fan still be in the mood to eat?

"Do you think these soldiers in the Tianjiang camp are all fools? What will happen to their families if they go against the imperial court?"

Ning Fan suddenly raised his head and asked Luo Yong something, which directly stopped Luo Yong.

After being stunned for a long time, Luo Yong said with a puzzled look on his face: "But they came and surrounded Tianzhou." "Besieged, it doesn't mean they will attack, and even if they attack, it doesn't mean they will try their best. , just wait, the fate of these diehards like Yue Zhongping will be like the sunset, they won’t last long.”

After Ning Fan had his fill of pancakes and rolled meat, he drank a large bowl of wine.

After eating and drinking, Ning Fan stood up and frowned at the traitors below the city.

"Your Highness, these people are rebels and they all deserve to die."

Luo Yong gritted his teeth and looked at the soldiers from Tianjiang Camp outside the city.

"You are wrong. These are the subjects of the imperial court, the sons of their parents. Each of them is a person of flesh and blood."

Ning Fan shook his head and said.

Ning Fan's words confused Luo Yong. Now he didn't understand what Ning Fan meant?

"These soldiers have been indoctrinated from the beginning to obey orders from their superiors, so orders from their superiors are military orders to them. Many soldiers don't even know who they are going to attack or what they are going to do. They only know how to obey their superiors' orders."

"Do these soldiers really know that they want to be rebels? In fact, they are not. Only a few people with military power can order them, and these soldiers are nothing more than war machines."

Ning Fan said again.

After listening to Ning Fan's words, Luo Yong seemed to understand something this time, but he did not fully understand what Ning Fan meant.

"His Highness is really very different from ordinary people. His Highness's thinking is so imaginative that it is difficult for my subordinates to keep up with His Highness."

Luo Yong looked at Ning Fan with admiration and said.
