Sui and Tang Dynasty Generals

Chapter 100 Zheng Yuanzhen’s Plan
"Uncle Zheng! If this is the case, the bandits will surely be furious! Jinyang East City..."

Li Shimin came back to his senses from the shock, and immediately realized that the situation in Jinyang East City would probably become even more dangerous.

"indeed so!"

When Zheng Yuanzhen heard what Li Shimin said, his face was a little surprised. When he got the news in the past, he was more shocked by the bravery of the boy from the Fu family. It was not until a long time later that he thought of this.

I didn't expect that Li Shimin in front of me would react so quickly.

"The news came earlier that the bandit Zhen Zhai'er has indeed issued an order to massacre the entire city when the city is breached!"

Zheng Yuanzhen nodded.

"But don't worry too much. I have confidence in that kid..."

Zheng Yuanzhen looked at Li Shimin.

"Within a month, the bandits will have more than 100,000 troops, but don't even think about breaking through the East City of Jinyang in the hands of that kid!"

Zheng Yuanzhen spoke with a firm and resolute tone.

This confidence stems from Zheng Yuanzhen's early years of enlistment in the army. He has a feeling about an army and a general. From all the news sent from Taiyuan and everything that happened in Taiyuan, Zheng Yuanzhen has confidence in the young man.

"Shimin!"

Zheng Yuanzhen's smile faded and he looked at Li Shimin.

"Now that His Majesty has not ordered troops to rescue Taiyuan, even if Wencheng County gathers manpower, I'm afraid there are only 500 private soldiers. Going to Taiyuan to rescue Jinyang is tantamount to suicide, and it will only boost the morale of the bandit army!"

Zheng Yuanzhen said this, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked outside the door as he walked.

"That guy finally managed to suppress the bandits' arrogance. The bandits lost two generals in a row. One was captured and the other was killed. Don't look at the bandits ordering a massacre in the city!"

Zheng Yuanzhen looked at Li Shimin and raised a finger.

"That's exactly what we can see. Zhen Zhai'er failed in the battle and is trying to save the morale. He plans to make a desperate attempt to take down Jinyang West City in a short period of time! And if he fails..."

Zheng Yuanzhen looked at Li Shimin and didn't say anything else.

Li Shimin nodded when he heard Zheng Yuanzhen's words. He understood what Zheng Yuanzhen meant very well, which was that although the East City of Jinyang seemed to be in danger at the moment, the bandit army was actually at a disadvantage and in a passive position.

Any external intervention at this time, let alone a defeat, would only backfire, boosting the morale of the bandits and ruining the good situation that Jinyang had worked so hard to build.

At this moment.

We can only trust Fu Zihou and believe that Fu Zihou can outlast the bandits!
But one month...

"Uncle Zheng, Shimin still wants to go to Hexi County! Be ready to go to Taiyuan at any time! Shimin believes in Zihou, but Shimin is more willing to lead the troops to fight the bandits when Zihou needs him!"

Li Shimin looked at Zheng Yuanzhen, raised his hand and spoke to him, his eyes and expression full of determination.

When Zheng Yuanzhen heard Li Shimin's words, he was stunned and looked at Li Shimin.

Zheng Yuanzhen did not expect that even though Li Shimin believed in Fu Zihou, he was still willing to wait for Fu Zihou in Hexi County and appear when Fu Zihou needed him the most. To do this, this kind of thoughtfulness is not something that ordinary people can have.

Look at Li Shimin.

For some reason, people used to think that Li Jiancheng was a rare outstanding young man among all the children of noble families. But when looking at Li Shimin at this time, Zheng Yuanzhen discovered that Li Shimin was actually not worse than his brother.

However, as members of a prominent clan, as members of an aristocratic family, and as powerful officials, they only saw Li Jiancheng and could not see the attractive aspects of Li Shimin.

But if we ignore his own family background and status and look at Li Shimin as an ordinary person.

He is even more charming than his brother Li Jiancheng!
"Okay! Shimin, you can rest in the mansion for a day. I will send someone to prepare the troops!"

Zheng Yuanzhen did not refuse Li Shimin.

Ever since the marriage between the Zheng and Li families, Zheng Yuanzhen has always paid more attention to Li Jiancheng, the son-in-law of the Zheng family. It was not until today that he noticed the difference in Li Shimin.

"Thank you, Uncle Zheng!"

When Li Shimin heard Zheng Yuanzhen's words, his face was full of gratitude, and he spoke to Zheng Yuanzhen happily.

Just as the old housekeeper of the Zheng family, who was waiting nearby, was about to take Li Shimin to put away his luggage, Zheng Yuanzhen suddenly called Li Shimin.

"Shimin!"

Zheng Yuanzhen looked at Li Shimin.

Li Shimin stood beside the old butler and looked at Zheng Yuanzhen in confusion, wondering if Zheng Yuanzhen had anything else to say.

"Nothing! Just have a good rest! When we leave tomorrow, I will hand over all the secret agents to you!"

Zheng Yuanzhen said.

"Thank you, Uncle Zheng!" Li Shimin raised his hand and saluted Zheng Yuanjin with gratitude. Then, under Zheng Yuanjin's gaze, he followed Zheng's old housekeeper out of the room.

In the study room.

Zheng Yuanzhen withdrew his gaze and sighed. He just thought about it and decided that it would be better not to tell Li Shimin about snatching the boy from the Fu family from the Li family.

If the danger in Taiyuan can be resolved this time, and if the boy from the Fu family survives, it will not be too late to make matters worse.

Do the math.

This life-saving grace was enough to make Li Shimin's relationship with that boy not much different from that of a distant relative.

"Fu family boy, please don't die!"

Zheng Yuanzhen thought of the young man he met in the Zheng family mansion in Xingyang in the past, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

No matter what, I will not let that young man slip away this time. I will make that young man the son-in-law of the Zheng family no matter what!

There is no suitable person in the Zheng branch!
It doesn’t mean that there is no one in Zheng’s main house!
Zheng Yuanzhen had already started to think about the children of the clansmen who were in the mansion that day.

For Zheng Yuanzhen, who had joined the military since he was young, the young Fu Zihou was worthy of being married by a girl from the Zheng family!
...........................

Outside the east city of Jinyang.

Amid the roar of drums and countless shouts of killing, there were flames and thick smoke everywhere inside and outside the city walls.

"kill!!"

"kill!!!"

The armored bandit soldiers were hit by arrows and stones. Some of them fell off the ladders, while the rest continued to climb up the ladders, trying to reach the city wall.

Inside the city, some bandits and soldiers had already stepped directly from the burning chariots over the wooden boards and charged into the city with swords in hand.

The soldiers defending the city were all fighting bravely, killing the rebels one after another and trying their best to defend the city.

Swords and arrows were scattered everywhere, bloody corpses were lying on the city roads, and amid the chaotic footsteps, one could constantly see people being hacked to death, bleeding and finally falling motionless on the cold ground.

"kill!"

A soldier defending the city killed a bandit soldier, then turned around and saw a burly bandit on the car holding a machete who was trying to get into the city. So he quickly took out his sword and killed him.

However, before the sword in the soldier's hand could see the burly thief, he was kicked away by the thief.

Due to the huge size gap, the soldier leaned against the city wall, holding his chest in pain. Seeing this, another soldier guarding the city hurriedly chopped at the bandit from one side. Unexpectedly, the bandit blocked his attack with a knife. The soldier grabbed his neck with his other hand, pressed it hard against the wall cloth, and then chopped it with a knife.

The blood of the soldiers defending the city instantly splashed on the face of the strong bandit, but at this moment there was only a cruel smile on the strong man's face.

He stood up and looked at the fighting around him. He looked into the city road and saw the dense crowds of soldiers defending the city, who kept coming from both sides. The strong man raised his sword and charged directly.

Fu Zihou was walking in the city road holding a sword and noticed that in the distance, the soldiers were forced to retreat by a bandit. Seeing the bandit's physique and skills, he frowned. Just as he was about to deal with the bandit, he saw Cao Yong had pushed aside the other soldiers and was fighting with the strong bandit. The two of them went from swords to hand-to-hand combat.

Although the bandit is tall and strong, Cao Yong's strong arms are just as powerful as his.

Seeing that Cao Yong finally ignored his injuries and fought with the bandit in the chaos, rolling on the ground, pinning the bandit down, picking up the sword beside him and killing the bandit directly, Fu Zihou then withdrew his gaze.

Seeing a gap on the other side, and surrounded by people who were helping, a thief suddenly climbed up the city wall and quickly jumped into the city road.

Fu Zihou drew his sword and rushed forward quickly.

"kill!"

Just as the rebel was looking at the panicked people of Jinyang with an excited look on his face, holding his sword to kill the people defending the city, Fu Zihou had already come behind him and slashed his neck with a sword. Blood gushed out. The rebel fell to the ground instantly, but Fu Zihou didn't even look at him. He dodged the sudden attack and held the sword in his backhand. He stabbed the rebel soldier who jumped into the city road in the face with his sword, and then he forced the rebel soldier against the city wall step by step, and then he drew his sword with all his strength.

Looking at the bandit who was bleeding profusely and had a disfigured face, Fu Zihou turned his head slightly and looked at another bandit soldier who was climbing the city wall.

The bandit soldier had obviously seen what had just happened and realized how ferocious Fu Zihou was. Just as he was at a loss, a civilian guarding the city had picked up a stone and smashed it in his face.

With a scream, the bandit fell out of the city in an instant.

Fu Zihou, Yin Tianzong, Cao Yong, Xiong Ruixiang, Xia Jia, Lai Bo and others, together with all the defending soldiers and civilians on the city walls, continuously killed and repelled the rebel soldiers who attacked the city walls.

And just then.

In East City.

Di was in her mansion when she suddenly saw her younger brother Di Xing coming.

Seeing that there was no one around, Di Xing whispered something to Di and left quickly after he finished speaking.
