Chapter two hundred and ninety-ninth fled after hearing the wind

A middle-aged man in his forties immediately walked up.

"What are the instructions of the prince?"

"You go and ask the kitchen what you can satisfy your hunger, and use it all to satisfy your brothers."

"If you are going to the prince, I have just visited the kitchen. There are only some big cakes and steamed buns that are ready to be sent to the military camp."

"Bastard, these..."

Before King Lu finished his words, Yu Ren had already answered. "These are very good. Come on first!"

The butler glanced at King Lu. King Lu glared at the butler. "Didn't you hear what Zhuangshi Yu said? Why don't you go and get it!"

The housekeeper agreed and went there quickly.

After a while, plates of steamed buns and pancakes were delivered. I don’t know where the butler made them, and even made some freshly fried minced meat.

Yu Ren and the others had been hungry for more than a day. Since they rushed to the road last night, they had almost never eaten anything. When they saw these things, everyone could no longer help but take action. At this time, everyone didn't care about their image and grabbed them directly with their hands. The butler was smart, and he also asked his subordinates to pour a large bowl of tea for each of them. There were also many maids holding large teapots waiting to add tea.

Everyone ate steamed buns with minced meat and drank water.

Yu Ren was not polite, and ate five or six steamed buns in a row before stopping. When he looked up, he saw Ruolan and Ruomei's two sisters opposite him, and were also facing the steamed bun.

When Ruolan saw Yu Ren looking at her, she quickly put down her hand and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the steamed buns. Ruomei ignored these things. She grabbed the steamed buns with one hand and reached into the bowl to get the minced meat, which was like eating rice with her hands. Yu Ren saw how many minced meat was stained with the corner of her mouth, as if she had a beard, and couldn't help but chuckled.

King Lu saw all this and smiled on his face.

Seeing that his brothers were almost finished eating, Yu Ren stood up, patted the pieces on his hands, and saluted King Lu.

"Thank you for your kind hospitality, it's time for us to defend the city."

King Lu was a little surprised.

"Everyone, here, let's go! The wine and food I prepared for all the heroes have not served yet!"

"No need. Prince. Now the military situation is in urgent need. On the way we came, we have heard that the Winter Scented Cultists occupied Zouxian and Tengxian, and their number has expanded to more than 100,000. Yanzhou City will surely become their next target of attack.

Our first priority now is to discuss how to defend the city.”

After hearing this, King Lu took a deep breath and nodded repeatedly. "Shi Zhuangshi Yu is right, yes. I will take you to find Hanbin now."

The two of them were about to set off when they suddenly saw a man running in hurriedly.

"Report, report to the prince. The thieves from the Yinxiang Sect are coming to Yanzhou."

After hearing this, King Lu stood up all of a sudden.

"How far is it?"

"It's still fifty miles away!"

"How many people are there?" Yu Ren interrupted.

"No less than 200,000."

After hearing this, King Lu looked as if he was ashamed. He no longer cared about Yu Ren, so he got up and left.

"Where is the prince going?"

"I, I have to leave. I have to leave quickly!" King Lu said, looking for people everywhere. "Butler, butler!"

Yu Ren looked at King Lu and knew that he was scared. But he still had to rely on him to defend the city. If the Yanzhou City was not supported by King Lu, they would not be able to defend the 50 people alone. As long as the Yinxiang Sect conquer Yanzhou, it would be very difficult to deal with. Yanzhou City is an old city and a big city. The city is high and the deep, and it is close to the canal and connects north and south. If it is occupied by the Yinxiang Sect, this rebellion will be really difficult to pacify.

At present, the army that suppressed the rebellion had not yet set off. Yu Ren knew very well that his biggest task was to hold the scented scholars of the scented religion and defend Yanzhou before the army arrived.

As long as he could defend the imperial army, the battle to suppress the rebellion would be considered a victory. Yu Ren could still see this strategic issue very clearly. Therefore, he must not let King Lu escape at the moment. Once King Lu escaped, he could not defend the Yanzhou city.

"Prince, don't panic. The thieves have to reach Yanzhou for fifty miles. With so many of them, the march must be very slow. It will take two days to wait until they reach the city of Yanzhou. We still have enough time. The city of Yanzhou is high and the city is deep, and we still have nearly a thousand defenders. Although there are many thieves, they are just a mob.

I once fought with them, and we had only a hundred people, so we defeated three thousand of them, and that was still a field battle. Those three thousand people are said to be their elite. You can imagine their combat effectiveness.

Therefore, although we only have a thousand people, as long as everyone works hard, it will be no problem to guard each month. By then, as soon as the imperial army arrives, these rebels will naturally retreat.

After hearing this, King Lu was a little skeptical. "Really, can I really hold on?"

"Of course, I've fought with them. I know this more than anyone else."

King Lu hesitated for a while, "Okay! Let's go find Hanbin immediately."

When King Lu brought Yu Ren to the Gan General's Mansion, there was no one in the mansion. An old man in his seventies was sweeping the floor.

King Lu didn't know what happened.

"Where are your vassals?"

"The sir just heard that more than 200,000 people from the Winter Sorcery Sect attacked Yanzhou and ran away with their men."

"What!" King Lu almost collapsed on the ground after hearing this.

After a while, King Lu turned around and left with the help of the guards.

Seeing that King Lu looked ugly and knew that something must be bad, Yu Ren rushed forward.

"Prince, Prince, you can't leave!"

As the King of Lu walked forward, he said, "It's over now. I won't leave. Are you waiting for those thieves to attack the city and arrest them?"

Yu Ren shook his head. "Not necessarily. Have you ever thought that if the prince doesn't leave, the people in the city will still have some hope. Although the vassal master left, he can't take much of the team guarding the city. Let's recruit some young and strong people from the people, and there is still great hope to defend the city.

But if the prince abandoned the city like this and left, Yanzhou City would undoubtedly be in trouble.

Prince, don’t forget that this is your fiefdom. If you leave the fiefdom and run away on your own initiative, you must be beheaded according to the laws of our Ming Dynasty. Instead of being beheaded afterwards, it is better to fight now. If the matter is accomplished, you will make a great contribution!”

After hearing Yu Ren's words, King Lu couldn't help but slow down. When Yu Ren finished speaking, he also stopped.

"Zhu Quan, go back to your home immediately and gather all the young and strong servants in the mansion for me and be on standby at any time."

The butler behind King Lu agreed and immediately bowed.

After giving Zhu Quan the order, the King of Lu said to Yu Ren again, "Let's go to the top of the city to take a look."

Yu Ren wiped the cold sweat from his head. He was really shocked just now. If King Lu really did not listen to the advice and instead left the city and fled, then no one could deal with the situation. He promised Qi Shi Cult, so he would have done it. Although he believed that the rebellion would be quelled in the end, his influence would also greatly increase. He felt that this was his breach of trust in Qi Shi Cult.

Yu Ren followed King Lu to the top of the city. More than a dozen guards were gathering together to discuss something quietly. Yu Ren saw that they all looked puzzled and had no intention of fighting, and couldn't help but frown.

"Who is the leader here?" Yu Ren asked.

A middle-aged man in his thirties came out. "I am the one here."

Yu Ren said to the chief of Shi, "You are leaving two people behind to be responsible for the guards. The others went to various parts of the East City to summon other soldiers to the city gate. Tell them that only two people were left to guard in each district, and all the others gathered under the city. King Lu had something to teach."

Nash Chang heard that it was the order of King Lu, so he didn't dare to neglect it, so he went there quickly.

Yu Renze accompanied King Lu to the city gate and waited.

After a while, soldiers from various districts arrived one after another. Yu Ren roughly estimated that there were about 200 people.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yu Ren climbed up a small platform and said to everyone, "Brothers, now that they have heard the Xiang Sect rebellion, the rebels have arrived at our Yanzhou City. The lord of the vassal was entrusted by the King of Lu, and had already left the city at night and asked the court for reinforcements.

Within a few days, the army will arrive. At present, we must guard the city well. We must not let the thieves attack into the city, otherwise our elders and brothers and sisters in the city will be destroyed by the thieves."

"But, I heard that there are more than 200,000 rebels, and there are only 1,000 defenders in our city. How can we defend?" Before Yu Ren finished speaking, a centurion stood up and said.
