Chapter 143 The Rumor Maker

^_^(Please subscribe and ask for monthly tickets)

Han Ruzi was ready to break through. If he couldn't even get through this level of his own, the so-called guarding the broken iron city and seducing the Huns would be a joke.

There were more than 30 generals and officials leading troops to block the city gate, two of whom had military positions higher than Han Ruzi's Central Guards, and they did not intend to retreat.

In order to "save" a large number of noble children, the generals in the army were divided into two groups, one blocked the door and the other went to see the general, and it was necessary to leave their relatives in the city.

It was getting dark, and the city gate would be closed soon after night. Even if there was a token for exiting the city, it would be useless. Han Ruzi decided to wait for a while. If Chai Yue could not arrive in time, he would let his soldiers charge.

He turned his head and looked at it. Fortunately, the nobles were not in trouble, not far from Han Ruzi. Cui Teng sat on the horse and sneered, "Look at how long you can last."

Han Ruzi ignored him and said to Zhang Youcai beside him: "Go to the General's Mansion and see how Chai Yue is doing."

Zhang Youcai took the order and left. Han Ruzi's troops had two teams of 100 people. He asked one team to continue to supervise the noble camp, and the other team gathered in front, arranged in four rows behind him, and could charge at any time.

His actions scared everyone, only the soldiers of the army were fearless and arranged in a fast queue.

Dozens of generals and officials in front of the city gate whispered to each other. Not long after, a military officer came over and shouted: "Please come over and talk to the Central Guard."

Han Ruzi said to Donghai King: "You go."

"Ah? Why... Since you gave the order, uh, give me a correct word, what exactly do you want?"

"Before dark I had to take everyone out of the city and stationed in the camp on the riverside outside the city, not far away. If they gave way, I would be grateful. If they didn't give way, I would lead my troops out."

"You don't have the token of the general." King Tokai reminded.

“Either do they.”

King Donghai shook his head helplessly, slapped his head forward and went to negotiate with the generals who blocked the door.

Han Ruzi looked at the noble camp again. In fact, the biggest trouble was these people, nearly 500 noble children, plus almost the same number of followers, and if there were nearly a thousand people in chaos, the number of people he brought could not be suppressed.

These people must be made aware that the price will be a heavy price to escape.

Han Ruzi came to Cui Teng by slapping his horse.

I don’t know if someone reminded me secretly or became smart in a critical moment, Cui Teng didn’t say a swear word, but instead smiled and said, “Brother-in-law, you are so powerful. Do you want to really hit me? Return the knife to me and I will fight with you.”

"Your five-day imprisonment is not over yet." Han Ruzi said coldly.

Cui Teng nodded immediately, neither getting angry nor provoked. Han Ruzi wanted to kill the chicken and scare the monkey, but the "chicken" was even more honest than the monkey.

Han Ruzi stared at Cui Teng for a while, and Cui Teng laughed, becoming more and more innocent.

Han Ruzi had no choice but to find another target and her eyes turned, but none of the noble children who were usually arrogant and domineering had to leave the queue, so they had to be more rules and more rules.

Only then did Han Ruzi realize that there was no need to kill the chicken and scare the monkeys, and these "monkeys" were already scared.

He was a little puzzled. He didn't do anything, but just punished Cui Teng a little. It was logical that it would not have such a great deterrent effect, but the facts were right in front of him. All the noble children rode on horses and remained still. Instead, their followers showed surprise.

There was something strange about it, and Han Ruzi had nowhere to ask, so the military officers of the base camp ordered them to rectify the formation. Many entourages retreated to the rear, and the nobles were lined up in four rows to be connected with the soldiers of the army.

His orders were executed without any violation.

Han Ruzi returned to the front of the team. The team on his side kept mobilizing, which attracted the attention of the opponent. The soldiers who blocked the door began to be nervous. The nobles dared to charge, but they dared not really stop. Dozens of generals were even more panicked and kept talking around the King of Donghai.

Not long after, Donghai King came back, "They only requested: wait for the general's order, and the lord of the lord should not do his own thing."

"I'll just wait until dark." Han Ruzi said that even without the general's token, he would leave the city. It was not that he was stubborn, but that he knew that doing things must be thorough, and giving up halfway would destroy the prestige he had just established.

Donghai King stepped forward and whispered: "It's really strange. They were very tough at the beginning. Somehow, but suddenly they softened, as if... they thought you were going to do something big."

"What can I do? Isn't it just be a bait?"

King Donghai laughed dryly, "You will never imagine how exaggerated the rumors are."

"Where do you think they suddenly changed their standards?"

"I'm also surprised that the rumors seemed to fall from the sky."

Chai Yue finally arrived with Zhang Youcai before dark and brought the general's token and handwritten order, so that the noble camp could officially leave the city.

After the generals blocked the door had a staircase, they immediately retreated to the streets and alleys on both sides and gave way out of the city gate.

It was not until the entire team walked out of the city gate that Han Ruzi felt relieved and asked Chai Yue: "Why did it delay?"

"The generals disagree that Juanhou took Xungui camp out of the city. I argued with them for a while, and the general finally resisted the opposition and decided to let it go." Chai Yue was really strong, his forehead was full of sweat. Looking at the neat teams of noble children, he was also a little puzzled, "It's really rare that they didn't make trouble. No, it's Juanhou's ability to manage the army."

Chai Yue was obviously not good at pleasing his boss, and he looked quite stiff when he praised the maniac.

In any case, Han Ruzi brought the noble children to the camp outside the city, and was relatively isolated from the army in the city, so she was not afraid of anyone running around.

The followers who stayed in the city to pack up their things soon came out and set up a tent that they had not used for a few days.

After nightfall, Han Ruzi received five groups of noble children in a row. A day ago, they tried every means to return to Beijing for the New Year, but suddenly changed their minds and volunteered to guard the lonely city, hoping to fight with the Huns.

Han Ruzi made every move and tried his best to find out the reason for the change. These people themselves didn't seem to know where the rumors came from, and they were unwilling to tell them clearly.

King Donghai came once and frowned and said, "I don't know who it is. It is said that you have the support of the ministers in the court and will replace Korean stars as the general after making meritorious service. After completely defeating the Huns next year, you will be able to return to Beijing..."

Can you become emperor again when you return to Beijing? Han Ruzi couldn't believe his ears, "Do they believe in this kind of thing?"

King Donghai said seriously: "What are you not believing? A few years ago, when Emperor Wu was alive, who would say that the descendants of the two princes in front of him would have the chance to become emperor, and they would definitely be laughed at by everyone. What would happen? Emperor Huan's two sons are still alive, but the throne falls into the hands of others."

To this day, Tokai Neptune is still indignant when talking about this matter. "When the situation is unstable, anyone believes any rumors. The key question is, who is the rumor?"

The King of Donghai didn't find out, and Han Ruzi had no idea. Lin Kunshan was not in the city, otherwise he would be questionable.

Han Ruzi still found Lin Kunshan and told him about this.

Lin Kunshan thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "No matter who this person is, he is always trying to please Juanhou. Wait. He will come to Juanhou to get the merits sooner or later."

The next day, Han Ruzi went to the city to see Han Xing and formally took the order to guard the Broken Iron City to lure the Huns.

This is a plan that requires close cooperation. Han Xing finally proved that he was not an incompetent person. He called a large number of generals and made extremely detailed plans, ambushing, sending messages, intercepting, inquiring about the military situation of the Huns, food and grass transportation, and spare troops, etc., all arranged properly, so that no one, especially Juenhou, could raise questions.

Korean stars really need this contribution, but he himself cannot participate and must stay in Mayi City to confuse the Huns.

Chai Yue was appointed as the general, assisting Juanhou in implementing the plan, the grain officer, the order officer, the flag officer, etc., all were assigned by the general and were all under the jurisdiction of General Zhenbei.

On the third day, another day spent improving the plan.

Han Ruzi had not arrived at Shattered Iron City, and had already learned a lot about it. There was a garrison in Shattered Iron City, about 1,000 people, and they were indeed old, weak, sick and disabled. Han Xing took back the Qingwei Camp and assigned Han Ruzi two thousand real elite soldiers, plus 1,000 soldiers from his subordinates, more than 1,000 noble children and entourages, and there will be five thousand defenders in Shattered Iron City.

Things were settled like this. Although the Great Chu army was full of holes, it had not completely destroyed and could still carry out complex ambush plans.

Han Ruzi was about to lead his troops to set off. Several people he requested from the north and south armies to meet him at Shenxiong Pass.

On the night before the camp was launched, the rumored person finally came to "receive the merit".

Cui Teng was still in prison, and the nobles who were often bullied by him finally breathed a sigh of relief. The bruises on Zhang Yanghao's face disappeared. He came to ask for a meeting for a long time after nightfall. If he was a little later, Han Ruzi would go to bed.

Zhang Yanghao couldn't wait. After a few polite words, he told the truth: "Jianhou is a person who wants to do big things. Why not recruit talented men and women and think that he is winged?"

"It's just an ambush, it's not a big deal."

Zhang Yanghao smiled and said, "Fighting against the Huns is of course a small matter, I mean...a real big matter."

Han Ruzi understood and asked coldly: "Are you spreading rumors?"

"Haha, the morale of the army was unstable at that time, and everyone was guessing why Juehou suddenly became strict and why he was valued by the general. I just made a little hint and they believed it, and it spread very quickly and did not need my spread at all. This shows that Juehou was very popular with the people."

Han Ruzi originally thought that Zhang Yanghao was just a reckless man who lacked his eyesight, but now he realized that he was a complete gambler. The more he lost, the more he bets he bets, and he would never stop until he died.

It was from this day that Han Ruzi listed Zhang Yanghao as a target that needs to be vigilant. Such a gambler is really not trustworthy and will cause big trouble.

But now, Han Ruzi just snorted softly, "People's hearts? People's hearts are all in the capital, not here with me."

Zhang Yanghao was very happy. Juehou was complaining, which meant that he had great ambitions. He took two steps forward and said softly: "Have you noticed that the nobles and nobles were divided into different levels. People like Cui Teng were just playboys. They were arrogant and were useless when they were used. On the contrary, those with lower status, such as me, Chai Yue, can only make achievements..."

"You are the legitimate grandson of Marquis Piyuan, what are you worried about?"

"My grandfather only knows how to fight, does not understand the worldly ways, and has no foundation in the court. Even if I inherit the throne of marquis, I will be bullied by Piyuan Marquis, and it is no different from the Guiyi Marquis' family."

Zhang Yanghao knelt in front of the desk and said excitedly: "If Juehou has great ambitions, I would like to serve the work of Juehou."

This is not the first time Zhang Yanghao has shown his loyalty. Han Ruzi stared at him with a serious expression for a while and asked, "Do you have many people like you?"

"More, it accounts for at least half of the noble camps, but it's just that it's not visible or exposed, and no one pays attention."

Han Ruzi couldn't help but wonder what suggestions would Yang Feng make if he were here? Looking back at how Taizu Han Fu won the first batch of followers as a commoner? (To be continued.)
