The steps in the city tower were filled with fully armed soldiers. The people who went upstairs could only walk sideways. Meng E handed over her waist knife before she was let go.

The room upstairs is very spacious, with many guards standing. Han Ruzi looked at him at first and did not find the target. Under the reminder of the chief clerk of Shenxiong Pass, he finally saw his cousin Han Tong in the corner behind several guards.

The two must have met before, one sitting on the throne of the emperor and the other standing with many royal children. Therefore, Han Tong recognized Han Ruzi, but Han Ruzi had no impression of that face.

The chief clerk was busy for a reason. He stepped forward a few steps and said with a flattering smile: "General Zuo, the document of clearance..."

Han Tong stretched out his arms and waved out, as if he was chasing the annoying insects, but the chief clerk was more persistent than the insects, and took two steps forward, "General Zuo, I can't get out of the gate without documents, my general..."

Han Tong suddenly strode forward with great momentum, holding the hilt of the knife in his right hand, gritted his teeth and said to the chief clerk: "No one can come out of seclusion, even a mouse cannot do it."

The chief clerk was shocked and regretted handing over the official seal before, "But...but..."

"Come here! Come here!" Han Tong suddenly screamed, as if he was in great danger.

Not only the chief clerk, but even Han Ruzi was shocked, and he didn't understand why this cousin's reaction was so intense.

"Take it out, drive it out, drag it out, I don't want to see him again! I don't want to see him at all!"

The guards in the room were all brought by Han Tong from the Northern Army. Two people stepped forward, raised the chief clerk's arms and walked out. The chief clerk was shocked and scared, and was confused. Why did he offend the left general of the Northern Army?

Han Tong was about ten years old, with a gloomy and panic, but he wanted to act majestic and calm. He clenched his fists and pressed his eyes on Han Ruzi's feet, as if he was talking to a bug, "You are finally here, I knew you will come."

Han Ruzi was puzzled, "Well, I just arrived not long ago, and it is said that General Tong arrived a while earlier than me."

"A moment? Haha, just this moment, the God's Pass fell into my hands!"

Han Ruzi glanced at Meng E, signaled her to stay where she was and took two steps forward.

Han Tong seemed even more nervous. Even though he was surrounded by tall and strong guards, he still had no confidence, for fear of being hurt by his teenage cousin. He clenched his fists tighter, but he did not scream like he had just now. His eyes were always low, but he refused to look at Han Ruzi.

Han Ruzi could clearly feel that this person was afraid of him.

"The Huns army has attacked the Shattered Iron City. What are General Tong's plans?"

"The Huns...the Huns...how could there be Huns?" When Han Tong received the order to come to Shenxiong Pass, there was no news about the Huns. He heard that the army had arrived in the morning and was shocked and he still had no sense of recovery.

"What are General Tong's plans?" Han Ruzi asked again.

Han Tong sat slowly on the chair, holding his forehead with his hands, "Plan? The Champion Hou had never said... The Champion Hou asked me to guard the Shenxiong Pass and no one was allowed to pass..."

Han Tong looked up and finally looked at Han Ruzi, "Especially I can't let you pass the customs and return to Beijing."

Han Ruzi smiled, "I didn't want to go back to Beijing, I'm here to get the rescue."

Han Tong also smiled, proud and a little crazy, "I thought I missed it, but I was a little earlier than you, haha, the champion Hou predicted things like a god, you can't leave! Can't leave..."

When the other party's laughter gradually subsided, Han Ruzi said: "The God-Shen Xiong Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Even if the Huns come, they will not be able to capture it for a while. General Tong does not need to panic."

"The Huns... are easy to defend the difficult..." Han Tong's whole body trembled suddenly, "How did you enter the gate? The north gate... the north gate should also be closed, close immediately."

Han Tong reached out to touch the table. A guard beside him couldn't see it and went forward to help lay paper and grind ink. Han Tong picked up the pen and quickly wrote an order, then took out the official seal from his arms, pressed it seriously, and handed the order to the guards. The guards hurriedly left.

Han Ruzi looked silently and waited for the guards to take the order. He said, "I have arrived, so I will stand in front of General Tong, ask General Tong to switch and let the people go, and then mobilize the troops outside the pass to support Shattered Iron City immediately."

Han Tong looked surprised, as if wondering why Han Ruzi was still here. "I have sent someone to notify the Champion Hou that he will make a decision. I just need to keep the gate and cannot open the door."

Han Ruzi emphasized his tone slightly, "The Broken Iron City is in danger. Anyone who comes will send reinforcements immediately. Please ask General Tong to make a quick decision."

"I only keep the pass."

"There are 30,000 Chu troops in the Broken Iron City."

"I only keep the pass."

"If you lose the Broken Iron City, the Chu army can only defend the Shenxiong Pass, and it will be difficult for you to get out of the pass and fight to the decisive battle."

"I only keep the pass."

"There are five hundred noble children in Shattered Iron City, and all of them have outstanding families."

"I only keep the pass."

No matter what Han Ruzi said, Han Tong had only one answer.

Han Ruzi turned around and looked at it. There were at least ten guards in the room. Meng E stood at the door. It seemed that she could not fight ten with one and protect the safety of Juehou.

"Okay. When will the Champion Hou arrive?"

"I have sent someone to notify the Champion, and I will only guard the pass."

Han Ruzi turned around and walked towards the door, but the guards did not stop him.

At the door, Meng E winked, Han Ruzi shook her head slightly, Han Tong was extremely wary, and now he is taking the Inn too risky now.

Under the city tower, everyone was waiting anxiously, and the chief clerk was in a daze and had not yet come back to his senses.

"Brother-in-law, get it... forget it, pretend I didn't ask." Cui Teng saw that Han Ruzi was returning empty-handed.

Han Ruzi led everyone away. The streets were crowded with people and vehicles. Many people didn't care about the customs clearance documents and just wanted to leave the city immediately and avoid the Hun army that would come to kill at any time.

Han Ruzi stopped, "General Tong refused to open the city gate, did not mobilize reinforcements, and refused to hand over the official seal. He was going to wait for the order of the champion Hou."

Cui Teng said in surprise: "The champion Hou is hundreds of miles away, and it takes less than five or six days to go back and forth? By then, the Broken Iron City will be the Huns long ago."

Han Ruzi asked the chief clerk: "How many soldiers are there in Shenxiong Pass?"

The chief clerk had no opinion at all and immediately replied: "There are one thousand people inside the pass, and there are four or five thousand people in the military camp outside the pass. If you want more people, you have to dispatch troops from other places."

"Without an official seal, how many people can you mobilize?"

"Ah?" The chief clerk felt that something was wrong.

Cui Teng grabbed his collar and said, "Don't pretend to be confused. Ask how many people you can mobilize?"

The chief clerk smiled bitterly and said, "There is no official seal... Only the guards in the yamen can obey my orders, there are more than twenty people."

"Where are servants?"

"Forty or fifty people in the old and young, they won't fight."

"Let them put on their armor and bring them here, tell them that they don't need to fight and strengthen their momentum."

"I am General Wu's chief clerk, so I will not participate in the matter between General Zhenbei and General Zuo." The chief clerk was scared.

"If you want to leave the city, just do what I said. Whether things are successful or not will not implicate you."

The chief clerk was still hesitating, and Cui Teng grabbed his collar again. The chief clerk had an idea and hurriedly said, "Yes, please go with me, you are the son of Grand Tutor Cui, and you have more weight than me."

"Of course." Cui Teng pushed the chief clerk to the yamen, and Han Ruzi sent five guards to follow him.

He called Du Chuanyun, "When I was upstairs, one of General Tong's guards went downstairs and went to the North City Gate to pass the order. Did you see him?"

"See it."

"Remember what he looks like?"

"Remember."

"Take people to stop him and advise him to take us into the city tower, if he doesn't agree..."

"I know what to do." Du Chuanyun had already run away.

Han Ruzi still assigned five guards to follow him, and in this way, there were only ten guards left by him, including Meng E, and a veteran general Fang Daye who had been silent.

"After you get the official seal, Old General Fang will be able to leave the city."

"Yes." Fang Daye didn't even say thank you, and walked away and squeezed with the ordinary people on the street.

Han Ruzi and the guards were standing on the street waiting. In a car not far away, there were piles of bags piled up like mountains. Two children were sitting at the top, crying loudly. The parents were looking at the city gate anxiously and had no energy to take care of them.

Compared with the reign of Emperor Wu, the Great Chu did decline, but it was not yet vulnerable. Han Ruzi secretly made up his mind to repel the Huns instead of passively defending the city.

Cui Teng and the chief clerk were the first to rush back and brought more than a hundred people, which was more than expected. I don’t know how Cui Teng requisitioned it.

"Let's start the war now." Cui Teng was very excited. He was not afraid of anything. The soldiers and servants who were requisitioned were as pale as their chief clerk, and they showed fear before they could even take action.

"Wait." Han Ruzi said.

After a while, Du Chuanyun also came back, "He was disobedient and I tied him back." He turned around and pointed back. At a intersection, Han Ruzi's five guards were holding Han Tong's messenger. The street was in chaos, and no one cared about the kidnapping in broad daylight.

Han Ruzi was about to give orders, when a riot suddenly occurred under the city gate. Many people were shouting "Open the city gate", but received no response. The angry people turned to the city tower, and a tall figure rushed to the front and said angrily: "The city gate official is on it, let him come out and say something!"

Fang Daye was wearing civilian clothes. When he shouted, more people followed and shouted that the city gate officials would come out.

Han Tong had more than a hundred guards, all of whom were drawing swords and swords, but there were too many people coming, so the guards had to be nervous.

Han Ruzi waved to the back, and the five guards came over with the messenger. Han Ruzi said, "Call for help from your companions."

The messenger had a bruised nose and swollen face. He was about to scream, but then he shut up and shook his head angrily. Du Chuanyun said, "I'll do it." He jumped into a car, reached out to pull the messenger up, and shouted at the city tower: "There are Xiongnu spies in the north, go and help! Look, your people are injured!"

The guards inside and outside the city tower saw the injured messenger from afar and were shocked and even more chaotic.

Han Ruzi said to Cui Teng and the chief clerk: "You can go upstairs to save people."

Cui Teng was stunned and immediately understood, "That's right, Han Tong is in trouble, we have to help. Everyone comes with me and rescue General Zuo, everyone will be rewarded!"

Cui Teng led his troops to a road in the crowd and squeezed towards the city tower. The guards could not figure out the purpose of the soldiers and hesitated to move aside. Some guards even squeezed out, wanting to meet with the commander to find out what was going on in the north city gate.

Han Ruzi stood by the street, looking at the chaotic scene he created. In the past, he was always a little nervous and worried about gains and losses when he took risks. This time, he was really calm and confident that he was sure to win.

Sometimes, weak enemies bring more confidence. (To be continued.)
