On the night after the battle, Donghai King woke up, and there was still the impression of a corpse falling from the sky in his mind. He sat up suddenly and stretched out his hands to push it. As a result, he was stunned and sweated in his heart.

He sat on the bed, wearing clean clothes, and felt unbearable pain in several places on his body, as if he was injured, but he was not dead, and could still breathe, think, and feel fear and joy.

"I'm not dead?"

"You are dead, this is the underworld." A cold voice said.

King Donghai was shocked and turned his head to look. He saw Cui Teng, who was covered in blood, staring at him with a serious face, and he was even more shocked.

"We are all dead, let's go with me to meet the King of Hell, so that we can be reincarnated as soon as possible." Cui Teng lowered his voice, making him look even more yin.

King Donghai was not that stupid. He was just a little dizzy when he woke up. Now he was completely awake. Looking at the clean bedding and clothes, he knew that this was his bedroom in the Dai Palace, not hell, but he was still scared and had a cold sweat on his body, "Get out! Go and die by yourself, I won't follow."

"Haha." Cui Teng laughed. He came to visit King Donghai without even changing his armor. But when his cousin woke up, he couldn't help but joke, "Go to drink!"

Cui Teng left, and the East Sea King gradually calmed down and moved slowly to the edge of the bed, trying to go down to see if everything was normal. As soon as he put on his shoes, he saw the emperor sitting in the corner, and was stunned, "Your Majesty..."

Han Ruzi stood up and said, "Get a good rest, I'll call someone."

"Thank you, how long has it been since I...Your descend?"

"It's not long." Han Ruzi's clothes didn't change, and she smiled at the King of East Sea and walked out.

"Your Majesty..." The King of East Sea had something to say, but he didn't know what to say, "Is the city guarded?"

"Well, I've been defended for the time being. The right wise king of the Huns is mobilizing his army. Now he is less than twenty miles away from the city. Maybe he will attack the city tonight."

"He must be furious."

Han Ruzi nodded, walked out of the room, letting Donghai's entourage in, and went to meet with the general outside by himself. He had a lot to do.

Jincheng was not finally broken, but the losses were heavy, with nearly half of the casualties. After welcoming reinforcements, the troops defending the city did not increase, but decreased. The army led by Feng Shili also retreated very hard and was pursued by the angry Huns, and the situation was unknown.

The Suwei Army who came to rescue the chariot suffered particularly heavy losses. When he came, more than 2,000 people were there, and only seven or eight hundred people entered the city alive. General Chao Hua died and eunuch Cai Xinghai knelt down to apologize. He already understood that he had been deceived and almost became the forerunner of the Huns.

Of course, Han Ruzi would not blame him. Without this reinforcement army, the Youxian King would still make excuses to attack the city. Moreover, he received a lot of external news from Cai Xinghai, which was crucial to him.

"I really don't understand what Yang Feng thought. He actually... actually..." Cai Xinghai couldn't continue. He heard about the situation in the capital on the way to the marching, so he didn't have the chance to question Yang Feng in person.

Yang Feng elected and established the heir to the throne, not only one, but two. Among them, the King of England was still in the hands of the rebels. Although the matter was never officially made public, many people were puzzled and even angry when they heard about it. Cai Xinghai was one of them.

However, Han Ruzi immediately understood the intention of this move. In this way, the Great Shanyu could not attack the city and kill the emperor. The living emperor could attract reinforcements, and the dead emperor was worthless, and would also allow the Great Chu to establish a new king.

As for making the King of England one of the choices, one is to separate the Huns and Qi rebels, and the other is to not give ministers the opportunity to cause trouble, even if someone wants to quickly change the emperor, he will not be able to unify his power because of two choices.

"Don't doubt Mr. Yang, his approach is not wrong." Han Ruzi breathed a sigh of relief. The situation was still critical, but there was a little room for maneuver.

Cai Xinghai was affected by many places. Seeing the emperor so calm, he calmed down and kowtowed and left.

"I will be there in person when burying General Chao." Han Ruzi reminded.

"Yes." Cai Xinghai retreated.

Chao Hua was not a general with outstanding abilities, nor had he made extraordinary achievements, but he and the fishermen and soldiers in southern Beijing were of great significance to the emperor, and Han Ruzi had to attend him personally.

Fan Chushan saved his life, but his injuries were too serious and he could no longer command the city to defend. Han Ruzi personally went to the bedside to comfort him, and then summoned the surviving generals to arrange the city to defend.

If the Huns really launched an attack at all costs tonight, Jincheng was unable to defend, there were too few soldiers, and they were extremely tired, Han Ruzi could only let the soldiers who did not participate in the war at that time climb to the top of the city, and put more flags and more earth and stone equipment, hoping to scare the Huns.

Most of these soldiers are the people, and their biggest function is to bluff.

Surviving veterans will all rest.

The accompanying civil servants also lined up in the streets to fight, but they had no chance to leave the city. At this time, they acted as generals to guard the city and supervised the soldiers on the top of the city.

Han Ruzi himself did not rest and patrolled around with more than a dozen guards. More than 30 guards squeezed out of the city gate during the day and caught up with the battle. Most of them came back. The losses were not serious, but they had no impact on the situation. The two armies were indeed not the time for them to play their role.

The Hun camp outside the city was brightly lit, as if he was preparing something. Han Ruzi came to the city several times but did not come up with a good plan.

Cui Teng said he was going to drink, change into a clean armor, eat some food, and still comes to find the emperor. He was not injured, jumping around and looking at the threats that were approaching. "If the Huns dare to fight, they will kill him without leaving any armor."

Han Ruzi did not have this confidence and remained silent.

Meng E behind her walked up and whispered: "When will Your Majesty let us leave the city?"

Cui Teng didn't understand what the female guard was saying, but Han Ruzi was shocked. Since dark, he had looked at the guard behind him three times, but no one noticed it, but Meng E had guessed what he was thinking.

The biggest threat is not the Hun army, but the Right King. He wants to attack the city for his own benefit and to cleanse the humiliation of his concubine being abducted, and to attack the city. Killing him seems to be the easiest way to defend the city.

Han Ruzi shook her head, "No, there is no chance of success."

"The chances are no less than defending the city with all your might." Meng E turned around and looked at the guards and continued: "We have discussed a plan to use Huabian..."

"You?" Han Ruzi asked in surprise.

"Well, we all think that assassinating the Right Xian King is a feasible solution. Hua Bin brought ten people from outside the city. We left the city with the same number, brought a head, claiming that it was His Majesty's, as long as we could enter the tent..."

Han Ruzi still shook her head. The Youxian King did not trust the Chu people and would never meet a group of tourists without any defense. Even Deng Cui, the most "popular" Deng Cui, had no chance to approach the Youxian King alone.

"Your Majesty still need to wait for reinforcements?"

The arrival of Feng Shili's reinforcement army is still expected. Now he has retreated all the way and cannot turn back. As for the other two Chu troops, one in Mayi City outside the Great Wall, and the other is slowly approaching Yan State, it is impossible for them to come to save Jincheng, especially tonight, miracles cannot happen one after another.

A team of Huns came out of the camp and lined up, which seemed to be defending the position. If they really wanted to attack the city, the Huns would have to use equipment. They obviously learned the lesson from the last time, defended first, and then formed siege tools.

"You... can prepare, but unless the Huns really attack the city, don't act."

"yes."

Meng E asked the eunuch for pen and paper and asked the emperor to write a handwritten order, she could choose guards and take away the detained Hua Bin.

The guards were divided into two teams, one team was taken away by Meng E, and the other team was still commanded by Wang He. The only task was to protect the emperor in person.

As for whether Hua Bin agrees with this plan or not, he has to follow him out of the city anyway.

The tunnel after leaving the city has been blocked, and Meng E and others can only guard the city gate. Once needed, they will open the door immediately and rush out on horseback. As for whether they can gain the trust of the Huns in time, they can only talk about it later. That is the first test they will face.

Han Ruzi brought people down to the city. Since he wanted to send assassins, he was not suitable to show up on the city.

He lived in the military camp so that he could get news from the city at any time. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the assassination plan was not feasible. He wanted to call Meng E and others back several times. Once, he even asked Zhang Youcai to prepare the pen and paper, but after picking up the pen, he still put it down.

There was no plan that must be accomplished. Meng E was right. Assassinating the Right Xian King is no more difficult than simply guarding Jincheng. One more opportunity is better than sitting down and waiting to die.

From time to time, news came from the city that the Huns had already built more than a dozen siege weapons and sent soldiers to clean the battlefield. It seemed that they planned to attack the city as soon as the sky was dawn. This time, there was no excuse or trick, and it was a pure hard attack.

In the second half of the night, Cui Teng was so sleepy that he found a tent in the camp to sleep. Han Ruzi was reading at night. He had nothing else to do, so he had to read books, trying to find some confidence and strategies from Taizu's experience, but he couldn't see it at all. Taizu's experience was completely different from this time and could not be learned from it.

King Donghai came, and Liu Jie sent him into the emperor's tent without notice.

After glanced at it, Donghai King asked, "Is Cui Teng here?"

"He's going to rest, have you finished sleeping?"

"Well, I really don't understand. Cui Teng is covered in blood but still has a vicious life?"

"The blood was stained when he moved the body, so he didn't have time to join the war."

"Hey." Donghai King thought he was a hundred times smarter than Cui Teng, but he didn't expect that he would be fooled by him, "This guy..."

"He didn't catch up, he didn't intend to avoid the war."

King Donghai believed that Cui Teng was not that sloppy, but he still sneered, expressed his disbelief, and then said seriously: "The Huns are about to attack the city at dawn?"

"It seems that's the case."

"Will there be reinforcements?"

Han Ruzi was silent for a moment, "No."

"There is only one way to defend Jincheng."

"Um?"

Han Ruzi thought that King Donghai also thought of assassination, but he said another plan, "Called to the Great Shanyu for help."

The Great Shanyu hoped to negotiate, and the Right Xian King attacked the city against his will, but there was a problem that could not be solved.

"The Great Khan is not outside the city, and the Huns will not let the envoys go."

"As soon as the sky was dawn, the envoy left the city with great fanfare, claiming to see the Great Chanyu, so that all the Huns outside the city could see it, so he bet that the Right Xian King did not dare to directly violate the Great Chanyu's orders."

"The Right Xian King dares to attack the city, but dares not kill the envoy?"

"So it's a bet. The Right Xian King is angry at this moment, so he has to calm down." King Donghai paused while biting his lip, "I'll go." (To be continued.)
