MTL - After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister-Chapter 223 223rd
The court has received the news and intercepted it immediately. The two sides fought fiercely for three days and three nights, and the draw was tied.
The surprise attack plan of the Jin Dynasty's mansion failed, so I could only bite the bullet.
To this end, the King of Jin invested his blood and encouraged his subordinates in public. As long as he hits the capital, everyone will be rewarded, and the prince will be honored, and the gold will be waiting for you.
In order to make contributions, everyone was as excited as chicken blood, and morale soared.
The battle was in a stalemate, and it was dark.
The King of Jin hardly slept, his eyes were red, and he tried everything to win this battle quickly.
The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for him.
In the coach's account, King Jin sat in the main seat and discussed the match plan with his subordinates.
However, their performance was not as good as in the previous life, which disappointed him.
He didn't realize that it was his own problem. In the previous life, these people led an army and gave full play to their leadership skills.
However, in this life, the King of Jin personally marched, and everything must be reported to him, asking for instructions everywhere, delaying the fighter.
It is an unreliable thing for a layman to guide an expert.
The logistics officer hurried in to report, "Lord, we only have three days' worth of food and grass, and the new food and grass have not arrived yet."
Everyone heard the news, and the army is outside, how can I do without food and grass?
"What's the matter? It's not a halfway accident, is it?"
King Jin's face was sinking, "Do you know what's going on?"
The logistics officer frowned, "I have already sent someone to greet you, but there is no news so far."
"Continue to investigate." King Jin left his most trusted confidant behind to be responsible for logistics.
But something went wrong.
Others panicked, "You can't quench your thirst from afar, Lord, what should I do?"
The King of Jin pondered for a while, "Sent a team to borrow food from the nearby people."
It is said to be borrowed, as for whether it can be repaid, and when it will be repaid, it will be discussed later.
Everyone looked at each other, can the nearby people supply the army? It feels a little overhanging.
The King of Jin sent soldiers to raid the homes of the people, grabbing food when they saw it, ignoring that it was the life-saving food of the people.
This completely aroused civil unrest, and the food was robbed and could not survive. It is better to find a pad before dying.
The king of Jin's line jumped in a hurry, the collection of food and grass was not smooth, and there was not enough food for the army.
After simmering for three days, the food and grass in the rear still hadn't arrived. The officials kept the news tightly for fear of causing a mutiny.
However, if there is no food, how can I hide it? The three meals were changed to two meals, and the dry ones became thinner. The fools knew that something was wrong, so the soldiers naturally quit and asked for an explanation.
The King of Jin tried his best to appease them and ensured that they would not be allowed to fight hungry. He intensified his efforts in private, collected food everywhere, and killed a group of war horses to feed the soldiers.
At the same time, several teams were sent back to check the situation and urged the food and grass to be delivered quickly.
Every day is like a year, anxious like ants on a hot pot.
The King of Jin couldn't hear such words, his eyes widened, "Calm down, who robbed the grain and grass?"
This is the only possibility, and everyone is prepared for it.
Who knows, the cronies shouted, "Jincheng was captured by the Du family army."
Jincheng is their old nest, the seat of Jinwangfu, and the center of power.
Like a bolt from the blue, everyone was stunned, suspecting that something was wrong with their ears.
King Jin's eyes were black for a while, how is this possible? The old nest was taken?
"It must be a mistake, try again."
"My lord, is this a fake? We have General Wang in Jincheng, how could it be easily succeeded by the Du family army?"
"The Du family's army is far away from Jincheng. This must be fake."
Du Shaoxuan used his soldiers like a god. He used to defeat several times the number of enemy troops with one-to-two.
They can all secretly send a team to surprise the capital, why can't Du Shaoxuan surprise Jincheng?
The King of Jin said decisively, "This must be fake news. Du Shaoxuan has always been tricky, don't believe it."
Having said that, his heart is very anxious, his back path has really been copied?
The food and grass went wrong again, it was terrible.
Glancing at each other, anxiously waiting for news.
I don't know how long it took, and new news came.
"Master, Du Shaoxuan's open letter."
When King Jin heard these three words in the open letter, his head hurt and he had formed a conditioned reflex.
"He is not good at learning, so he goes to learn from Mu Wanqing."
Du Shaoxuan publicly announced that the palace of the King of Jin had fallen into his hands, and the King of Jin could either choose to surrender or come back and decide to die.
If he dares to say that, it means the news is true.
Everyone was shocked and angry, never expected the fire in the backyard.
Their family members and relatives are all in Jincheng, and they all fall into Du Shaoxuan's hands at this moment, and they can't help but feel anxious.
"Lord, let's go back and save people."
The main battle faction firmly disagreed, "No, we have come to this point, we can't give up halfway, we can only rush forward and win the capital as soon as possible to break the game."
"But our family is waiting."
A general strongly objected. "You don't have to worry so much. Du Shaoxuan is not a person who kills indiscriminately. Our family members will suffer a little, and their lives will be safe."
Others asked back, "What guarantee do you have that he won't kill chickens and set an example?"
Everyone:…
Everyone looked at King Jin, and King Jin was confused, "I have sent people to several nearby counties to ask the county government for food, don't worry."
The nearby area is under the rule of King Jin. What he wants, he naturally asks.
But wait, wait, the people who sent it never came back and don't know what happened.
The King of Jin sent several groups of people in a row, but there was no news, which made King Jin anxious.
Finally, the hungry soldiers mutiny...
Jin Wangfu, up and down, trembling and panic.
The pampered sons and daughters never thought that such a day would come, and they all cried.
The first thing Du Shaoxuan attacked Jin Wangfu was to control everyone.
Then searched Jin Wangfu.
Not to mention, there are 18 inner warehouses in Jinwangfu, which are divided into categories and have everything. The richness and luxury of the inventory make people shine.
"It's all recorded and brought back to the head of Qingping County for processing."
"Yes."
Du Shaoxuan looked at the treasures piled up like a hill, did not leave much, turned around to deal with military affairs.
The homes of officials in the city should be controlled and cleaned up one by one.
It is necessary to ensure the normal and orderly operation of Jincheng, to divide the fields and lands for the people, and to do a good job of appeasement.
There were so many things at once, and he was busy until late at night. He couldn't help but sigh, if only Mu Wanqing was here at this time.
With her abilities, none of this matters.
Is she asleep at this hour? I miss her so much, hey.
Wait a few days, take time to go around the city, see what's delicious, and bring it back to Wanqing to taste.
She loves food.
I collected a lot of fabrics in the most famous Jinyi Town before, she will definitely like it.
A subordinate interrupted his thoughts, "Young Commander, I found a few imperial robes and crowns."
Du Shaoxuan waved his hand, "Keep it sealed, and I will give it to the emperor directly."
"Yes."
There was a commotion outside, Du Shaoxuan frowned, "What's the noise outside?"
The subordinate said, "It's the lady from the Jin Palace who wants to see you, saying that she has something important to tell you."
Du Shaoxuan was also a little tired, rubbed his eyebrows, "let her in."
A slim and beautiful woman walked in, Yingying bowed, "My little girl Xiao Yan has seen Du Gongzi, Du Gongzi is very happy."
Du Shaoxuan glanced lightly, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Yan pursed her lips slightly, "I know where the secret room in the mansion is."
Du Shaoxuan has asked people to clean up the Jin Wangfu, searched inside and out, but so far I haven't heard of a secret room.
"Where?" There are a lot of good things in the Jin Palace, some of which are collected from the Wei Palace, and it's all cheap for him.
Xiao Yan's eyes flashed slightly, "I want to change the condition."
She doesn't want to be a prisoner, and she doesn't want to die at a young age. The only plan now is to find a backer for herself.
Right now, who else is bigger than Du Shaoxuan?
Du Shaoxuan's tone was a little impatient, "Speak."
Being by Duke Du's side will keep me from wandering, lonely and helpless."
She doesn't put on powder, she doesn't have any jewelry on her body, she is very simple and pitiful.
Du Shaoxuan looked at her bright dress, unfortunately, the fabric he recognized was the precious Yunjin, and he personally selected a few to give to Mu Wanqing.
Women are used to deceiving people. He doesn't hate women with tricks and scheming, but it's wrong to use them on him.
"No."
He is not in a hurry, the secret room will always be found, sooner or later.
If she was misunderstood by Mu Wanqing, that would be a big deal.
Xiao Yan was stunned, then changed her appearance, raised her chin, with a hint of provocation, "I heard that Mr. Du has never married, is it because you can't?"
A man can't hear such words, maybe he will prove it to her right away.
Du Shaoxuan's eyes were slightly dark, but he was not affected by it, "I don't like people who make themselves smart."
Wan Qing has never used this kind of unreliable means, and acted frankly.
Of course, the biggest difference is that Mu Wanqing never thought of relying on a man.
"I thought you liked this one."
She took a deep breath and turned back to being pitiful and soft-spoken. "Young Master Du, I'm very obedient and obedient. You can let me do anything, please accept me."
Jin Wangfu is defeated, what can she do if she is a member of Jin Wangfu? Even if you don't die, you may become a soldier. Is that how people live?
No, she must save herself, she must climb to the man in front of her!
Unfortunately, she met Du Shaoxuan who was hard-hearted, "Take her down."
Xiao Yan was dragged out, she was so anxious, she gritted her teeth and shouted, "I know a secret, about Mu Wanqing."
Du Shaoxuan frowned slightly, "Bring her here."
