Chapter 367

It was mid summer, and the whole Jianghan Plain was full of rainstorms, and the water levels of all rivers rose sharply.

After learning that his adoptive father surrounded Qin Huan, sun could not wait to put on his wings and fly over, but he had to stop near Yingcheng to avoid the heavy rain.

During this period, Zhang Xianzhong also mobilized troops and besieged the Chinese army camp on all sides when the rain stopped, but there was no doubt that it was not a head smashing and blood bleeding. Finally, he had to stop and continue the siege.

Lu Xiangsheng on the south bank had to postpone his plan to attack Wuchang City. Zuo Liangyu, who was hesitating whether to go north, no longer had a headache.

The heavy rain stopped all the parties killed in the south for the time being.

On the contrary, the North has not had a rain since the beginning of the new year. Even Nanyang and Ruzhou are no exception. However, due to the organization of the Chinese army in the early stage, a large number of reservoirs and ditches have been built and many deep wells have been dug. Coupled with the diligence of the people, the growth of wheat has not been greatly affected.

At this time, the whole Ruzhou area of Nanyang was golden. Obviously, the wheat could be harvested soon, but there was not much joy in Xiangyang City.

It is said that the king has been surrounded in Wuchang area for seven or eight days, which makes all the civil servants anxious. Those ladies are as if the sky is about to fall, and they have no intention to do anything else.

Even some people who know are a little nervous, others are like this, not to mention Zhang Yan's fourth daughter and Mrs. Li's mother and daughter in the palace.

Obviously, now everyone is tied to the chariot by Qin Huan, both prosperity and loss. Those ladies and civil servants know that.

Once Qin Huan is defeated and killed, the great Qin State will collapse. Civil servants can change their names and find other places. Without Qin Huan's protection, the fate of those ladies will be very miserable.

Therefore, many ladies have done well. Once King Qin is defeated and killed, he will kill himself immediately.

I don't know how the news spread. It was in Xiangyang in a short time. Nanyang was well known. Zhang Yan, the chief manager, was in a mess and tired.

In the hall, officials above the fourth grade and the ladies in charge gathered together, which should be regarded as the third court meeting of the state of Qin since its establishment.

Zhang Yan had to show up for the first time. She moved a chair and sat next to Qin Huan's King's chair. She became the backbone of everyone. Mrs. Li and the other four ladies stood beside her. At this critical period, the five people were also united.

Although many civil servants knew that Mrs. Zhang sitting above should be regarded as the head of the harem of the Qin state, many people saw Zhang Yan for the first time. They were still very curious about the mysterious Mrs. Zhang.

Because everyone knows the identity of Princess de. it is the Royal concubine of King de. it was robbed by the king when he was in Shandong. People are really impressed by her beauty and temperament. She is worthy of the name of Princess De.

What shocked everyone was that Mrs. Zhang wanted to be princess nade in terms of temperament and appearance.

In particular, the nobility and aura that Zhang Yan exudes when she raises her hands and feet can definitely be developed only by respecting her long-term status. Everyone has good eyes, which can be seen naturally.

He finally understood why Qin Huan made her the chief manager, but he couldn't help guessing her former identity.

Some people with flexible brain melon seeds think that Mrs. Zhang joined the Chinese army near Kaifeng. They have guessed Zhang Yan's identity. Their hearts are jumping wildly. They can't help secretly looking up at Zhang Yan above.

Zhang Yan looked at everyone's reaction. She didn't know her identity might be seen by some people. She was also flustered. But thinking of Qin Huan's current situation, she soon calmed down and coughed.

"Dear Aiqing, recently, some unscrupulous people spread rumors wantonly in the territory of the great Qin state, saying that the king was surrounded by the Chu army at the mouth of the Han River. The situation is very critical. Do you know Aiqing's opinion on this matter?"

Qian bin glanced at Zhang Yan above and became more and more convinced of his guess. His heart was very restless, but as the head of civil servants, he naturally wanted to be the first to stand up.

So he bowed down and said, "madam, as the saying goes, I'd rather believe it than believe it. No matter whether the rumor is true or not, in my opinion, I should immediately organize reinforcements and go south for rescue."

"Mr. Qian's words are wrong. Now people and officials everywhere are in panic. It is said that the army broke through Luoyang three days ago and will go south at any time.

If this is the news deliberately released by the Chu army or Chuang army, sending troops to the south for rescue at this time is bound to make all localities more frightened. Once Chuang army takes advantage of the weakness, the consequences will be unimaginable! "

Niu Jinxing immediately stood up and shook his head.

Everyone knew what he meant, that is, Qin Huan had no children, not even a real princess. Once in danger, I'm afraid many people in the Chinese army will have some bad ideas. For their own future, they are likely to be bought by the Chuang army.

Zhang Yan also sighed, obviously also understand this truth, not to mention others, even herself has been greatly affected.

These days, Qin Huan was so cranky that he even planned to kill himself once he was defeated.

"You don't have to worry. Princess Ben and your sisters called you today to tell you about the king's current situation."

Zhang Yan almost called herself the palace. Fortunately, they changed it in time, but they obviously didn't care about it at this time. Instead, they looked at Zhang Yan and pricked their ears.

"Your Majesty defeated the Ming army in hanjiangkou a while ago and captured Wuchang at one fell swoop. However, his own casualties were quite heavy. Coupled with the heavy rain recently, he temporarily confronted the Chu army. You are all the pillars of the state of Qin. Don't listen to rumors and mess up!"

Sure enough, everyone listened to Zhang Yan's words. Although they were still skeptical, they finally settled down a lot.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yan's next words raised everyone's heart again.

"Niu Shangshu, the king has been short of troops for several times. Can you draw some troops south to reinforce?"

Zhang Yan was also extremely helpless. Although she knew that the deployment of troops to the south at this time was tantamount to the fact that Qin Huan was surrounded, she couldn't help it.

"Empress Hui, the third town, the fifth Town, the sixth town and the cavalry camp are all in Ruzhou and Kaifeng to resist intruders. They can't go south. Moreover, far water can't solve the near fire. The fourth town should be on guard against Yang Guozhu in Yunyang. They can't sneak attack Nanyang along the path with the intruders, so they can't move, so they have to send troops from all over the country." Niu Jinxing quickly replied.

Zhang Yan asked, "how many troops can be assembled in those three days?"

"Ten thousand at most." Niu Jinxing thought for a moment.

"Ten thousand is too little. How much does it take for twenty thousand troops?" Zhang Yan frowned.
