Chapter 127 The King of Zhou

Gao Mingheng thought for a while and said, "The thieves have been besieging the city for a long time, and the morale of the soldiers is depressed. If you leave the city and fight, are you sure?"

Gao Mingheng was a civil servant and a rank-in official. He said he looked down on military generals. But Kaifeng now needs to rely on Chen Yongfu. He knew that his army was not as good as possible, so he discussed with Chen Yongfu once there was a war.

Chen Yongfu said: "The thief general Liu Fangliang has no movement. Whether there are reinforcements coming to support or other conspiracies, it is imperative to test it. Sir, if reinforcements come, test will definitely be worry-free and can boost morale. If the thief has conspiracy, test will be inevitable."

Gao Mingheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's reasonable. Let's do this. You go with me to meet the King of Zhou and ask for your opinion?"

Chen Yongfu was in no way possible. He went to the Zhou Palace with Gao Mingheng, and soon saw King Zhou.

The King of Zhou was already quite old and knew his destiny at 60. Moreover, King of Zhou was different from King Fu. King of Fu hugged his own gold and silver until his death, while King of Zhou generously donated money. It was probably a wise man.

After hearing the words of Chen Yongfu and Gao Mingheng, King Zhou pondered for a moment, but asked a middle-aged Taoist next to him.

"What do real people think?"

King Zhou asked for advice from Taoist, but Gao Mingheng and Chen Yongfu were not dissatisfied. However, this Taoist was the Dinghai Shen Needle in Kaifeng.

The thief besieged Kaifeng this time, and there was a help from Yiren. He used Yiren to cast spells to attack the city or release a poison to harm him. The Taoist in front of him used mysterious means to resolve the disaster.

If it weren't for this, Kaifeng City would have been attacked by thieves and even a ghost.

It is precisely because of this Taoist who is in charge that Kaifeng can hold on for so long.

The Taoist looked gentle, with a foot of green beard under his jaw, and his expression was quite leisurely. He smiled and said, "The King of Zhou respects me, but I am just a person outside the world and have no achievements in military affairs."

King Zhou smiled and said, "Mr. Li doesn't have to be humble or have any ideas, so you can tell me."

Zhenren Li smiled and said, "Well."

He thought: "What General Chen said is very reasonable. It is nothing more than reinforcements or conspiracies. After temptation, there is no mistake."

The King of Zhou nodded slightly: "Since the real person has the same view, General Chen can give it a try. If there is any need, I will agree."

Chen Yongfu bowed and said, "Thank you, the king."

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Yongfu selected a thousand elite soldiers. After nightfall, he left the city to raid and easily broke through Liu Fangliang's camp. Only then did he realize that there was no main force in the thief camp, all of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled.

Chen Yongfu caught some thieves. After interrogating, he learned that Liu Fangliang had already left the camp outside Kaifeng City with his main force yesterday.

As for where he went, Chen Yongfu did not ask. However, some thieves didn't know and couldn't ask.

After returning to the city, Gao Mingheng and King Zhou couldn't help but be confused.

"Is it because the thief is going to retreat?" King Zhou said so.

Chen Yongfu said: "However, the west of the city and the east of the city are still very fierce."

"What's the idea of ​​this thief fighting?" King Zhou looked at Gao Mingheng.

How could Gao Mingheng know? Nian Xu said: "Is there really a court army coming to help?"

The King of Zhou slowly shook his head: "The bandits surrounded Kaifeng, but it was not leaking. The situation of the near-level official army is now clear. Hou Xun is in Hebei, and Sun Chuanting is still recruiting troops. Unless Ding Qirui, where will the reinforcements come from?"

It’s not that King Zhou looked down on Ding Qirui, but it’s true that when the thieves surrounded Kaifeng last time, Ding Qirui made no achievements and was timid and afraid of things, so he was seen through by King Zhou.

Unless Hou Xun and Sun Chuanting both sides of the country were provoked, how could Ding Qirui have the courage to advance north?

At this moment, officials from the royal palace came to report that someone asked for a visit.

The King of Zhou asked, "Who is asking for a meeting?"

The official Shuzuo said, "It was said that it was a person from the south who insisted on meeting the king. Seeing that he was serious about his affairs, the villain did not dare to neglect it, so he quickly reported it to the king."

King Zhou was stunned, looked at Gao Mingheng and others, and said, "Hurry and please."

After a moment, three sergeants with strong statures and military auras overwhelmed their words walked into the hall.

Although these three people were empty-handed, they had a sense of courage.

The leader is not Zhang Shi, who is?

He actually came here in person, and his courage was getting bigger and bigger.

With Ying Yi's successive victory and the wonderful use of the Humane List, the soldiers under Ying Yi's command had long been different from the past. They all looked at each other with a majestic posture, which was very different from almost all the Ming army in this era.

Zhang Shi received a message from Zhu Bingkun and others. After thinking for a moment, he brought a team of people and horses to avoid many bandits and came outside Kaifeng City. When Chen Yongfu attacked Liu Fangliang's camp at night, he saw it. He tied Chen Yongfu's tail and saw that he had touched into the city.

As a general who did not accept his subordinates at night, Zhang Shi made many military achievements and received feedback on his military achievements. Now his physical fitness is not worse than that of Zhu Bingkun and Zheng Wu. The two people he brought into the city who did not accept his subordinates at night were also the best ones. It is not difficult to touch the city.

The three of them looked at Chen Yongfu and saw Chen Yongfu entering the palace, then they appeared to ask for a meeting.

As soon as Zhang Shi and the other two entered the house, they first saw the old King of Zhou, and then looked at everyone present. Finally, they deliberately looked at the Taoist more.

Then he beat his chest and fist: "I will pay homage to the king!"

When he came in, the person who led the way told him who was in the house, so he would not be wrong.

Although he is a worshiper, his body is strong and different from being submissive, he has a natural square shape.

The King of Zhou showed strange eyes. He was over 60 years old, had experienced many experiences and had seen many, but he had never seen such a soldier before.

He couldn't help but say, "Your name is Zhang Shi? Where is the general?"

Zhang Shi said in a straightforward manner: "The last time we will be under the command of the Qianhu Ying Yiying of Ye County, we will not accept officials from all households at night."

Although Ying Yi's independence was a fact, the facts were facts. The famous artifacts of the Ming Dynasty must be approved within a certain period of time. His official position was only a temporary household - Zheng Yunzhi was appointed by Zheng Yunzhi at a temporary basis - in fact, Zheng Yunzhi did not have this right.

"Thousands of households in Ye County?"

When everyone in the hall heard this, they all looked puzzled.

Where did the Thousand Houses of Officials from Ye County come from?

Zhang Shi said: "The King Rong. Lord Ying was originally a hundred households under Lord Zheng, Ye County. Because of his repeated military achievements, he temporarily took over the position of thousands of households in Luyang Pass."

As soon as this statement was made, the governor Gao Mingheng showed an unexpected look: "Where did Zheng Yunzhi get the ability to appoint Thousand Houses officials?"

However, the King of Zhou waved his hand: "The situation is difficult, and it may be expedient. Lord Gao, don't worry, wait until I ask."

Then he said to Zhang Shi: "Then why did you take the risk here today?"
