The Child Emperor

Lin Kunshan stood in front of Han Ruzi with an expressionless face, "No, I can't do it, those who look for qi can only follow the trend, if the momentum is not there, there is nothing we can do, these people are here to support the old emperor and let them change The idea is to go to Northern Xinjiang, but I can't do it."

"That's enough, I hope Mr. Lin can do another thing for me."

"Yeah." Lin Kunshan was noncommittal.

"Those who hope for qi follow the trend. Since the situation here is difficult to change, let's go out and take a look. Maybe someone is willing to join the rebel army to fight against the Huns."

Lin Kunshan slowly revealed a smile, as if agreeing, but also sarcasm, "The Great Chu has millions of soldiers, and they can't be used up. How can the common people join the army voluntarily?"

Han Ruzi also smiled, "It's hard to say, I never thought before that there would be people who would support the abolition of the emperor."

Lin Kunshan thought for a while, then reluctantly said: "Okay, since His Majesty wants me to leave the stockade, I'll leave, my people..."

"Go and stay at will."

Lin Kunshan nodded, turned and left.

The King of the East Sea, who was watching from the corner, couldn't help but speak again, "As soon as Lin Kunshan leaves, those people in the rivers and lakes will also leave, but the power in your hands is getting less and less."

"These powers are not used by me, what's the point of keeping them?"

"Hey, there is no one for you at all. My uncle will soon send a thousand iron cavalry, and they will be able to level the riverside village in the blink of an eye. What can you do then? Put the knife on my neck?"

"Ms. Cui is a reasonable person, and won't be so reckless."

Donghai Wang couldn't stop sneering, of course he didn't believe his uncle would do this, but he still felt that Han Ruzi was ignorant.

Han Ruzi was pacing back and forth, and suddenly asked Dangerous: "You are often in the market, do you think anyone will join the rebel army to fight against the Huns?"

"No." The lifeless answer was simple and direct.

Han Ruzi smiled, then sighed.

"Hey, looking at how you looked just now, I thought you were confident." King Donghai regained some confidence from this sigh.

Of course, Han Ruzi didn't have a plan. In fact, he didn't even have a bamboo leaf in his chest. Yang Feng once said to him that too much information is too complicated, but it is more difficult to sort out. The emperor has to learn to throw away most of the information, or in the case of very little information, figure out the truth and make a decision by himself.

The key is to stand in the other person's position and learn how the other person thinks.

What will the Queen Mother and Mrs. Cui do?

"The queen mother must have mastered an army that can compete with the southern army. Taifu Cui has no choice but to give up the rebellion and go north to fight. In this case, Taifu Cui will not kill me. In order to keep the East Sea King, he will also help Me. The Queen Mother... The Queen Mother..."

The queen mother had too many choices, and Han Ruzi couldn't think of what she would do.

Donghai King kept sneering, "Just because of the hundreds of bad people in your hands, the Queen Mother will let you go? A joke, a big joke."

There was a knock on the door outside, and Jin Chunzhong pushed the door open and came in, bringing three bowls of rice with dried fish and a bit of vegetables.

Don’t eat the bowl without even saying thank you. The King of the East Sea is still as selective as before, but he was so hungry that he ate the dried fish in a few mouthfuls, leaving more than half a bowl of rice. He asked: " Why is the fish so small today? There is not as much rice as usual."

Han Ruzi took the bowl and swallowed unintentionally, only then did he glance at it. Indeed, there was less rice, and there was only one dried fish, "Is there not much food in the stockade?"

"Well, save a little bit and stick to it until tomorrow night." Jin Chunzhong took over more responsibilities and understood the actual situation better.

"Can everyone have enough to eat?" Han Ruzi knew that if he had so little food, there would be less for others.

"Fortunately, everyone can understand, and Hou Juan can't change food..."

Han Ruzi's heart moved, "No matter how much food is left, take it out and make sure everyone is full."

"But..." Jin Chunzhong couldn't understand this approach.

"Listen to me, even if you don't have to eat tomorrow morning, let everyone eat this meal first, maybe... I can really change it." Han Ruzi smiled.

"Okay, I'll send the order to start the stove again. There should be no problem with tomorrow's breakfast." Jin Chun advised to retire.

The King of the East Sea had already eaten half of his own bowl of rice, and was looking at the rice bowl that was going to die, but he did not dare to ask for it, and said to Han Ruzi: "You are seeking death, without food and grass, there is no army, this is the simplest truth. , Originally, the military's heart was unstable, and after the food was eaten, everyone had to leave in a hurry tonight."

Han Ruzi found flint and tinder, lit the only small oil lamp in the house, and said to Doom, "The people will not join the army to fight against the Xiongnu, but are they willing to join the army to get enough food?"

As a chef in a well-known restaurant, he is not fussy and fussy. He ate a bowl of rice cleanly, put down the bowl, and said, "The people in the city don't know it, and I don't know about the people outside the city."

Han Ruzi smiled slightly, not knowing is a kind of affirmation.

The King of the East Sea showed an unbelievable expression, "You are crazy, you can't even feed these hundreds of people, and you want to attract more people? What are you doing, cheating?"

"Lin Kunshan will do this for me."

The East Sea King was taken aback, "Why?"

"Because he didn't want to achieve nothing, I gave up the original plan of the hopeful person. If Lin Kunshan wants to do something, he should help me. Follow the trend - what the people want to hear, Lin Kunshan will say, and there is him around the capital. My accomplices, working together, will persuade many people who have suffered from disasters and have nowhere to go. The 3,000 people I reported may be too few."

Donghai Wang was stunned for a while, and then suddenly burst into laughter, "Crazy, you are crazy, do you think everything will go your way? Do you think everything will be ready for you overnight? Haha. Don't die. , you seem to be more reasonable, persuade him, and if this goes on like this, he will hire heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals."

Don't you dare to raise your right hand in front of you, check your palm prints with the light, suddenly wave backhand and slap Donghai Wang on the face, Donghai Wang stumbled and almost fell, covering his face with his hands, furious, "I I know you are the Drunken Immortal Building..."

With a desperate glance, the King of the East Sea immediately shut up, suppressing his anger, not wanting to suffer the loss in front of him.

"I will protect your safety." There is always a sense of cynicism in the indifference, as if there is nothing in this world worthy of his serious consideration, "But if the enemy is too strong, I will not try to protect you, you have to find a way. "

"Of course." No matter how uneasy he was in his heart, Han Ruzi showed his composure again.

There were cheers from outside. It seemed that everyone was very happy to have a full meal. As for what to do tomorrow, that is the question that the "Emperor" should worry about.

The King of the East Sea took a few steps to the side, staying a little farther from his life, and said to Han Ruzi, "Why? If you force yourself to a dead end and rely on my uncle, you will save your worries and troubles, and your chance of becoming an emperor will be a hundred times greater than you are now. "

Han Ruzi slowly shook his head, "What I didn't hold in my hand at first, I won't be able to hold it in the future."

"If you continue to be stubborn, there will be no future."

Han Ruzi didn't speak any more, and the confidence he had finally picked up was gradually declining. He needed several miracles to happen at the same time to get rid of the current predicament.

The door was suddenly knocked open, Jin Chunzhong broke in and said in a panic, "No, someone set fire outside the stockade."

Without saying a word, Han Ruzi ran out of the room immediately, stood at the door and looked into the distance, the crisis really came earlier than the reward.

The east side of the stockade is close to the water, and there are fires in the other three directions, which is obviously arson.

"Where's the sentinel outside?" Han Ruzi asked loudly.

"Come back..." someone shouted, and the crowd quickly gathered.

A group of volunteer soldiers rushed from the direction of the gate in a panic, and one person shouted as they ran, "Officers and soldiers! The officers and soldiers are here again!"

The crowd was startled, and Han Ruzi immediately asked, "Where are the officers and soldiers? How many?"

The sentries came to a stop, but could not answer questions. A centurion said: "They blocked the road and set fire to it. Only officers and soldiers can use this style of play."

Another group of sentries came running, and the centurion who took the lead panted and said, "It's not an officer or soldier, it's someone from the Chai family. They say they want revenge."

"Chai family!" Jin Chunzhong was shocked.

Chao Hua was furious, "The person who killed my father is here, just in time, take the guy, rush out with me, and avenge my father!"

A large group of people responded, and some people didn't say anything, not feeling obliged to avenge the old fisherman.

"Wait!" Han Ruzi said sharply, and said to Chao Hua, "You agree to stay for another three days. During these three days, I will still be your commander-in-chief."

Chao Hua's ruthless and reckless side was aroused, he looked back viciously, but only lasted for a very short time before he bowed and said, "I obey Your Majesty's order."

"Everyone lined up, not allowed to leave the village for half a step."

Everyone panicked to find their centenary. The fire outside the stockade was getting bigger and bigger. Han Ruzi turned his head and asked in a low voice to the East Sea King who followed, "What tactics do you usually use to deal with fire attacks?"

The King of Donghai was already panic-stricken and the fire was merciless. Once it burned into the stockade, even he would not be able to survive. He was scolding the Chai family, and when he heard Han Ruzi's words, he replied casually: "Fire attack? The book says... to clear it out. Open space, can stop the fire from spreading..."

Han Ruzi had read too few books, so he reacted after being reminded by the King of the East Sea, and personally ordered a team of several hundred people to demolish the houses on the edge of the stockade.

The houses in the Hebian Village are very simple. When the Chai family attacked the village in the morning, they had already burned some of the houses, and the remaining ones could be demolished. Dozens of people pushed them down with all their might, and it took time to move the scattered wood away. More, the fire outside is getting closer, startling.

There was a sudden scream of killing outside the stockade.

Han Ruzi said loudly, "Don't be fooled, this is the enemy's trick to lure soldiers!"

Sure enough, the shouting quickly disappeared, but no one rushed in.

Han Ruzi led the rebel army to retreat to the water, and someone shouted, "Get on the boat, everyone, get on the boat."

Han Ruzi felt that something was wrong, and while he was thinking about it, the King of the East Sea shouted: "No, set fire on three sides, leaving only the waterway. This is clearly a plan to let the enemy escape and intercept in the middle. There must be an ambush by the Chai family on the water."

"We've been fishing here for many years, and we're afraid that we won't be able to deal with a few small fish when we get to the water?" Some people were quite unconvinced.

The East Sea King just shook his head. Although the fire outside was getting more and more intense, and it was approaching the stockade, he still kept a little calm.

Han Ruzi agreed with the King of the East Sea and said to Chao Hua, "Put some torches on the boat and push it out."

Chao Hua immediately did as he did, and together with a few others, he untied a small boat and pushed it out downstream.

The boat was carrying torches and drifted slowly on the lake. The fire outside had already burned to the fence of the stockade, and it seemed that it was almost beside her. Someone finally couldn't bear the torment, regardless of the emperor and military law, and jumped on the boat and ran away. A large number of people followed, scrambling for boats, and the waterside fell into chaos all of a sudden.

Han Ruzi was about to lose his hold, and Chao Hua shouted loudly, "Stop! There is an ambush on the water, look!"

Everyone looked and saw that the boat had slipped out a certain distance, only to hear the sound of whizzing in the darkness, obviously arrows were fired in unison.

The people on the boat went ashore in a hurry.

The King of the East Sea murmured: "Where did the Chai family get the archers? They drive over a little further and shoot arrows at the shore, and we will all die without burial..."

Before the words were finished, a few boats really appeared in the darkness, slowly sailing from the center of the lake to the riverside village.

"God, this is not from the Chai family, this is... a ship of the Southern Army! My uncle..." Donghai King's eyes darkened and he almost fainted.

The crisis came earlier than the reward, but it was not the enemy Han Ruzi expected.
