Hidden in the court

Chapter 195: Adding fuel to the fire is an art

Seeing that everyone just smiled at each other and was unmoved, Wang Ze continued to bite the bullet and said: "The only method the general can use is to besiege the city, wait until the food and grass in the city are exhausted and the army is demoralized, and then try to persuade the city to surrender or attack. The repeated harassment tonight is also in the plan. If I am not mistaken, the general will use this method in the next few days. But the general does not know that the food and grass in Tairan City can last for three months. And according to the information I stole, there are reinforcements outside Taiyuan City. At this moment, Taiyuan City only needs to hold on until the reinforcements come to rescue it. By then, it will be you, the general, who will be the humble one.

The solution I'm talking about is that I will go back and immediately lead all the defenders on the city wall to Taiyuan Prefecture, capture the bandit leader alive, and bring him back to the court."

After hearing this, everyone laughed even louder. Old Xing even bent over and slapped his thigh.

"Ha ha ha ha--"

"You little kid, you actually speak of surrendering to the enemy so openly."

For the first time, confusion and bewilderment appeared on Wang Ze's face, and then he shouted through gritted teeth.

"Yes, that is surrendering to the enemy. The Wang clan elder does not care about the names of our clansmen at all. Even if he is sure to wait for reinforcements, the brothers on the top of the city will definitely not be able to stop the general's attack. Who will pay for their lives? Does the general not believe me?"

Seeing the expression on the boy's face, everyone stopped laughing.

"Brother, it's not that I don't trust you. With your intelligence skills, I really suspect that you have been deceived. Tell me, how is the food you have had in the city these past two days?"

Wang Ze was stunned for a moment, but still answered honestly: "Two sesame cakes and two bowls of porridge a day."

"hehe…"

It was Old Xing who sneered now. He looked at Wang Ze who looked confused and said, "Then do you know how much food I gave him?"

Ji Mingshang took over the conversation: "Let me introduce you to this man. He is the reinforcement that Taiyuan City has been waiting for. He was also responsible for transporting food to Taiyuan City before. He has transported a lot of food to Taiyuan City, including rice, flour, meat and wine. It is probably enough for all of you to eat for two years..."

Wang Ze was struck by lightning when he heard this. The reinforcements from Taiyuan City were in the enemy's tent? He only had one thought in his mind: "It's over, it's all over!"

But he soon laughed again, fortunately he arrived in time. Otherwise, the brothers on the wall would also be doomed, and now the lives of these people really depended on his shoulders.

Wang Ze was really pitiful. A little kid was deceived by two groups of people in one day. The news he knew about Taiyuan City was false at least in terms of food. But didn't Ji Mingshang lie to him? In fact, the reinforcements that Taiyuan City was really waiting for were Ji Liancheng, and Ji Mingshang doubled the food.

As for what effect this will have, just look at Wang Ze now.

Ever since he realized that he had no chance of winning and that so much of his food had been taken away by the main clan, he seemed to be on the verge of insanity.

Ji Mingshang walked over and held his shoulders, "Little brother, I know why you came here today. You are so brave to do this for your brother. I respect you.

Your proposal is very good. No one wants to fight. As long as you can do what you said and convince all your brothers, then we will open the city gates at noon tomorrow. Then you and your brothers can go straight to Taiyuan Prefecture, capture the main culprit, and take revenge if you have any grievances or grudges. We can only kill the main culprit, and as for the others, as long as you don't gather again, we won't ask anything."

Wang Ze's eyes gradually brightened, but now it was his turn to be cautious.

"How can I trust you?"

Ji Mingshang smiled slightly and began his performance.

"Hey, alert! I like it. Let's put it this way, you don't have to believe it. If the city gates are not opened tomorrow, then we will continue to surround them. It would be even better if one of you tells us off and opens the city gates to catch us. Wait for my people to charge into the city, and then we'll see who is the turtle.

Think about it, I can promise you more. If you truly submit to the court, you will not only have food and drink, but I can even give you some money to live on. Don't think I'm lying to you, I'll have them prepare it. When you leave, take a cart of meat and a cart of grain. Or take another cart of money?

It's okay, it's okay. Anyway, those people in Taiyuan Prefecture are only enjoying themselves now. I guess they didn't even know that the city gate was open when you came out. Think about it, they must be eating meat and drinking wine, accompanying women and walking dogs. Oh, maybe the dog is still chewing meat bones now? Oh, right. Have you seen bones in all these days on the top of the city..."

Old Xing, who was listening nearby, was already numb. Why didn’t he notice that the prince’s words were so rude before?

But the effect was immediate. Even Hu Die was gritting her teeth and clenching her fists.

Not to mention Wang Ze, a guy who had personal experience, was already trembling all over and his eyes were red.

"But the imperial edict said not to keep a single one..."

Hu Die's sudden words immediately dampened the young man's spirit.

Is it possible that he and his brothers are destined to die?

"Eh~ Yes, all the people of Wang's family were killed without leaving a single one. As for those on the top of the city wall, they are ordinary people of Taiyuan City who were coerced by Wang's family~"

Ji Mingshang said this, and it was true. His Majesty had sent two supervising officers, and they are all here now.

Hu Die looked at Su Mengyang who nodded secretly at the side, and held back the last words she wanted to say.

"Okay, it's settled. When you go back, can you convince everyone and ensure that no one tells on you? That depends on your ability. If the truth is revealed, you'll die faster than I will."

In this way, the people on the Taiyuan city wall watched helplessly as a figure came from the enemy camp in the distance, gradually becoming clearer, with several cars following behind it.

"That guy is back! Open the city gate!"

Ever since he saw the several cars following Wang Ze, the guard felt a little uneasy.

As expected, the first thing Wang Ze said when he saw him was: "Take your brothers and submit to the court!"

The defending general had no idea what to do, so he chose to leave everything to Wang Ze.

Wang Ze didn't waste any words and climbed onto the grain cart in two steps. "Look here, brothers. Tell me, do you want to rebel?"

Unfortunately, no one responded to him.

"We were all deceived, deceived by our own main branch and our own elders. We have no reinforcements at all, and our food is not just enough to sustain for three months, but enough for everyone to eat for two years! That's two whole years! What did the group of people from the main branch say? The reinforcements will arrive in a few days, and the food will last for three months. Guess why they said that, I went to Taiyuan Prefecture tonight to report the news. Let me tell you what I saw?
