Chapter 353: Hot air balloon chaser

Jizhou City, Yongwang Mansion. ? Eight? One Chinese? ≤≤≤≤=≈≈≠≥
Chen Xinran raised his head and looked at the strange thing slowly drifting from outside Jizhou City. Like him, now the entire Jizhou City people have noticed this thing.
The most important thing is that this thing also dropped a stone with a note tied to it. When the Jizhou garrison opened the note, he immediately found him.
"General Chen, Your Highness is drunk, you should come back tomorrow."
In front of the gate of the Emperor Yong's Mansion, the housekeeper of the palace blocked Chen Xinran outside.
Since Jizhou City was besieged, King Yong was drunk almost daily. Although other generals complained a lot, no one dared to persuade them because of King Yong's violence.
Chen Xinran was annoyed when he learned that King Yong was drunk again.
The last time I gave grain and grass to the barbarians, not only did not exchange for the barbarians to march eastward, but the more the barbarians looked down on them.
The forage barbarians accepted it, but they were only mocked by the barbarians as fools.
Chagatai was gone, but the barbarians led by Beishan succeeded him and continued to besiege Jizhou City.
Only then did they realize that they had been fooled by the barbarians, and Bei Shan wanted Jizhou City, not a trivial piece of food.
Seeing that the barbarians did not retreat and the reinforcements were late, King Yong began to drink heavily every day, often punishing and flogging people.
The subordinates in the palace are very difficult to survive this time.
Looking at the whip marks on the face of the palace steward, Chen Xinran blocked the gate of the palace that was about to close with one hand.
He said loudly: "Today I must see King Yong. Now the Qingzhou Army and the Forbidden Army are outside the city. If you want to lift the Siege of Jizhou, you must cooperate inside and outside."
After all, he slammed the door open and walked inside regardless of the impediment of the palace guards.
Chen Xinran is quite prestigious in the Jizhou army, and is also the brother-in-law of Princess Yong. He is so hard, but the guards of the palace dare not stop him.
Before reaching the main hall, a burst of singing came into Chen Xinran's ears, accompanied by the sound of bells, drums and piano.
Frowning, Chen Xinran quickly arrived at the main hall, only to see King Yong Zheng drinking red in the main hall.
At this time, the two singers were lying in the arms of King Yong and laughing.
"Your Highness!"
Standing outside the main hall, Chen Xinran shouted.
This sudden shout stopped the singing and dancing in the main hall. King Yong took a drunk look at Chen Xinran and smiled: "Why are you here? Did the barbarians come in? Hahaha, this king is just waiting for them to come in. , Come, take a sword for this king!"
The city was besieged and there was no reinforcements. King Yong was a bit self-defeating. He then shouted: "What are you waiting for, go and flee!"
Chen Xinran frowned, and he said loudly: "His Royal Highness, the Forbidden Army and the Qingzhou Army are now fighting the barbarians outside the city. This is a message from the Qingzhou Army, asking us to observe the battlefield situation and to attack the barbarians at any time."
"Nonsense, are you really drunk when you are the king? Jizhou City is under siege, how did the Qingzhou Army pass the news? Can they still fly in?"
Chen Xinran muttered in his heart, this Qingzhou army really flew in.
He said: "His Royal Highness, although this matter is weird, it is indeed a message from the Qingzhou Army. If you don't believe that your Highness and the Admiral will go outside, the strange thing is still in the sky."
King Yong laughed loudly, "Okay, I will go out with you to have a look. If you dare to deceive the King, be careful!"
Shaking around, King Yong followed Chen Xinran outside.
Because the speed of the hot air balloon is very slow, the hot air balloon has just arrived over the Yongwang Mansion.
Looking up at the things above his head, King Yong suddenly woke up most of his drunkenness.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at the strange thing and said, "Did things come down from here?"
"It's true, please see, your lord, there seems to be people on it." Chen Xinran pointed to the hot air balloon and said.
King Yong took the letter from Chen Xinran's hand and glanced at him, falling into silence.
"How did this thing fly in the sky?" King Yong muttered.
Chen Xinran was also confused, and he shook his head.
"Since there are people on it, does it mean that this thing can take this king out of Jizhou City?" King Yong said in surprise, he said, "You immediately let them come down and take this king away!"
When Chen Xinran heard the words, he slashed the heart of King Yong with a knife. The enemy is now, and the coach wants to escape alone regardless of the life and death of the people in a city.
He said: "At the end I don't know how to get them down."
King Yong lived in fear these days, he ignored Chen Xinran and asked his servants to prepare horses, and he chased him by himself.
As a result, all the people in Jizhou City saw King Yong chasing the things in the sky.
But from the south gate to the north gate, although King Yong yelled, the strange things flying in the sky still did not fall.
Chen Xinran followed King Yong and looked at King Yong who was scared to go crazy by the barbarians.
At this time he asked again: "His Royal Highness, the Qingzhou Army and the Jizhou Army are outside the city, what should I do now?"
King Yong looked angrily at the strange things that were gradually disappearing. He said, "Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, no one can send troops at will!"
After chasing for so long, King Yong completely sobered up.
At this time, he felt a little more settled, but at the same time began to calculate his own gains and losses.
...
On the official road thirty miles away.
The grain and grass of the Forbidden Army entered the area where the Forbidden Army was stationed.
After the grain arrived, Luo Hong heaved a sigh of relief. Casualties are not terrible, the most terrifying thing is that there is no grain.
"The one in front is Luo Hong, General Luo."
Zhan Xingchang came with Qingzhou soldiers.
After the truce last night, the auxiliary soldiers built the camp overnight, and now the camp has some scale.
"Exactly! Excuse me, are you..."
Luo Hong held a fist to Zhan Xingchang, his heart was joyful, the barbarian cavalry in front of him stared at him, and the barbarian cavalry looted the food and grass in the back.
If it weren't for the Qingzhou Army to arrive in time, their food and grass would have a major problem, so he was very grateful to the Qingzhou Army.
Moreover, the strong have always respected the strong ~EbookFREE.me~Luo Hong looks down on the weak and weak generals of the Great Yu Country, but only respects the Qingzhou Army.
Now the combat power of the Qingzhou Army once again made him admire.
"Prosperity in the Xia Qingzhou Provincial Government History Exhibition."
Luo Hong was pleasantly surprised when he heard the words: "Long admiring for a long time, it turns out that you are the exhibition governor. This time I thank him for the exhibition, otherwise the forbidden army will be over."
"General Luo doesn't have to be polite. The barbarian enemy is now and should be facing the enemy together." He continued: "I don't know what General Luo Hong plans next?"
Luo Hong was stunned, and said that the Qingzhou army was really quick to talk. He did not take the Chang'an officialdom, and said to Zhan Xingchang: "I was going to go directly to Jizhou, but I was blocked by the barbarian cavalry. Now that you have come here and our combat power has doubled, we might as well take the opportunity to force the barbarians to retreat and attack Jizhou to relieve the pressure on Fencheng."
Zhan Xingchang nodded, and said lightly: "It's just that the general knows that the barbarians came with artillery this time?"
