In history, when Li Zicheng attacked Luoyang, he was unwilling to take out his family fortune, let alone now?

Ma Tingyu looked at King Fu, although the expression on his face didn't change much, but in his heart he scolded King Fu as shit, "You still have the nerve to cry poor in front of me? Who doesn't know that your Fuwang family has a great career, and the emperor of the temple loves you the most. Leaving Luoyang to you, when you became a feudal clan, you were rewarded with a large amount of land and property. I dare not say that the entire Luoyang belongs to your family property, at least half of it belongs to your Fu Wang's family property.

Now you cry poor in front of me?Are you really stingy?Don't you know that once Luoyang City is breached, you will have nothing to eat? "

"But my lord, if the city cannot be defended and Zhao bandits attack the city, it will be bad." Ma Tingyu said.

Ma Tingyu didn't say it clearly, but the meaning inside and outside the words is obvious. If you don't take out these things, once Zhao Wen invades the city, you will be finished.

"Are you threatening me? My widow tells you that Sun Chuanting was the most responsible for the fall of Luoyang City, and then you, Ma Tingyu, are the most responsible.

The widow is the royal family, the prince is honorable, and it is the responsibility of you and other civil servants to protect one side and protect the vassal. What does it have to do with the widow? " Fu Wang glared at Ma Tingyu.

King Fu is the most beloved son of Emperor Wanli. In order to make King Fu the crown prince, Emperor Wanli and his courtiers spent a lot of time arguing.

Although King Fu was still not made the prince in the end, this did not affect Emperor Wanli's love for King Fu.

It may be that Emperor Wanli loved him too much, which made King Fu a little ignorant of world affairs, stingy and selfish.In the words of later generations, Fu Wang is that kind of exquisite selfish ghost.

"My lord, it's not that the subordinate officials are threatening. It's just the fact that the Zhao bandits are powerful. If they don't have enough soldiers, they won't be able to defend Luoyang City at all.

My lord, the number of defenders in the city is now scarce, and the money and food in the treasury have long been used by Mr. Sun to build the Yellow River defense line.As long as there is a little way to go down to the official, he will not come to the prince.

Your lord, Luoyang City is your fiefdom, you can't ignore it. " Ma Tingyu became anxious when he saw that King Fu would not enter. He eagerly persuaded King Fu, and even knelt down for King Fu.

"Don't talk about it anymore, the widow's family really can't stand the toss, and the widow has no money. As for these guards, the widow can't give you either."

No matter what Ma Tingyu said, Fu Wang just said one thing, that is, not to give.

Ma Tingyu saw that King Fu was so stubborn, so he stopped persuading him.

"Oh!" Ma Tingyu sighed, turned around with a lonely face, and walked outside.

When Ma Tingyu walked out of the gate of Fu Wang's mansion, he turned his head and glanced at Fu Wang's mansion.

"It's really a stone in the latrine. It's smelly and hard. You can take it easy. After Luoyang City is taken by the Zhao thief, I'll see how you can escape. The matter of King Jin is right in front of you. I don't know how to change it. I really have nothing to say. Can say."

Ma Tingyu flicked his sleeves, and then walked away with the entourage standing outside the palace.

After Ma Tingyu left, Zhu Yousong looked at his father and asked in confusion, "Father, why don't you agree to Ma Tingyu's request?"

"What do you know?" King Fu gave Zhu Yousong a blank look, "Even if we don't hand over the guards and money to Ma Tingyu, Ma Tingyu will find a way to defend Luoyang City.

Since he will find a way to defend Luoyang City, why should we give him guards and money?

Today's sage is not a widow, but the son of that person.Although the widow is his uncle, do you think that if the widow's guards suffer heavy losses in the battle of defending the city, will the current emperor give the widow additional manpower?Our family's money and food have been accumulated through hard work. If it is squandered in the battle of defending the city, will the current emperor give it?

Back then, the widow and that person kept fighting for that seat. Although he won it in the end, the former emperor still doted on the widow.When the widow was in the vassal state, he valued the widow quite a lot.

Today's foundation was given by the former emperor. Our family is not like a family that has been passed down for more than 200 years like King Zhou and King Qin.

It's also fortunate that that person died early, otherwise, it would be impossible for us father and son to live a peaceful life.

The widow is the uncle of the current emperor, and there is no way to prevent him from dealing with us father and son openly.

But if our family loses everything in this battle to defend the city, he might be able to laugh in his sleep.

Furthermore, some things cannot be started at the beginning. Once a precedent is set, it will not be easy to refuse in the future.

Today Ma Tingyu can come to ask for guards and money and food, and tomorrow he can let our father and son go up to the city wall to defend the city.It's Ma Tingyu's business to defend the city, so what's the matter with our father and son? "

King Fu explained to Zhu Yousong why he disagreed with Ma Tingyu's request.

Standing beside Fu Wang, Zhu Yousong quietly listened to his father's teaching, showing a sudden realization expression from time to time.

When Ma Tingyu returned to the magistrate's yamen, all the officials in the prefecture city had been waiting in the back hall of the yamen for a long time.

Just as Ma Tingyu entered the hall, all the officials waiting in the hall greeted him.

"Master Ma, how is the matter going? Did the prince agree to borrow guards and provide money and food?"

Liu Zeli, the magistrate of the Henan government, hurried up to greet him, and looked at Ma Tingyu expectantly.

Ma Tingyu let out a long sigh, frowned tightly, and said in a low voice: "You can't get in oil and salt, you can't live without a rope, you don't know what's going on, and you don't know what's good or bad!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood that King Fu must have refused.

"Ah, what should we do now? There are only less than [-] soldiers in the city, and there is no money or food in the treasury. Even if you want to recruit young and strong people, at least you have to feed them." Liu Zeli said with a look on his face. Said sadly.

"What should I do? How do I know what to do? Let's finish with Luoyang City. I can't conjure soldiers and horses to defend the city out of thin air. What can I do? There is no way, there is no way." Ma Tingyu sat He took the main seat in the hall, picked up the teapot on the table with a dull face, and drank in a muffled voice.

"My lord, don't say such angry words. King Fu doesn't want people to pay, but the city still has to be defended. Is it possible that we still go out of the city and kneel down to welcome Zhao thief into the city?" Liu Zeli said anxiously.

"What is this!"

"Don't King Fu know about King Jin? At the beginning, King Jin was unwilling to pay people and money. In the end, King Jin's lineage was taken away by Zhao thief. Doesn't King Fu have a long memory?"

"That's right, doesn't King Fu have a long memory?"

For a while, discussions arose in the hall.

"Yeah, doesn't King Fu understand these things? Doesn't he know that once the Zhao thief breaks through Luoyang, he, King Fu, won't be able to fall, okay?

I really don't understand why King Fu is unwilling to borrow troops and pay.What we guard is not only Luoyang of the imperial court, but also Luoyang of his King Fu.

Back then, King Jin was taken over by Thief Zhao because he didn't want to pay for others, and it's the same for King Fu now.These princes are really unreasonable, unreasonable. "Liu Zeli kept yelling at King Fu in a low voice in the hall.

Ma Tingyu put down the teacup in his hand and let out a long breath, "We can't rely on King Fu. Now we can only put it on the gentry in the city. As long as the gentry in the city is willing, there is still hope for defending Luoyang City. If the gentry in the city is not willing ,Then there's no way."

Ma Tingyu stood up from his chair. He looked at the people in the hall and said, "Everyone, let's quickly gather the gentry in the city and finish this matter as soon as possible. If the matter is finished, I'm afraid it will be too late." gone."

Under Ma Tingyu's order, the officials in the hall walked out of the yamen and walked towards the homes of the gentry in the city.

When Ma Tingyu and others gathered the gentry to deal with the matter of defending the city, Zhao Wen also led soldiers and horses to Luoyang City non-stop.

After almost two and a half days, Zhao Wen finally led his troops to the city of Luoyang.

Before Zhao Wen arrived in Luoyang City, Song Hu's people outside Luoyang City discovered Zhao Wen.

When Zhao Wen arrived outside Luoyang City, the leader of Song Hu's remaining guards and a few personal guards hurried to Zhao Wen's army.

Zhao Wen had just arrived outside Luoyang City, and before Zhao Wen could give the order to set up camp, Qianhu, who was left behind by Song Hu, hurried to Zhao Wen under the leadership of Zhao Wen's guards.

Zhao Wen stood in an open space in the center of the army, because the military tents had not been set up yet, so Zhao Wen could only stand here temporarily.

"The last general will be No. 20, nine thousand households, one thousand households. General Song stays behind in Luoyang to lead the troops. Together with the Premier League, I pay my respects to the commander-in-chief."

Tong Yingchao looked at Zhao Wen in front of him, respectfully saluted him, and said loudly.

Zhao Wen nodded, "Get up, how is the situation in Luoyang City?"

Zhao Wen looked at Tong Yingchao and asked slowly.

Tong Yingying stood up from the ground and pointed to Luoyang City, "My lord, since we arrived in Luoyang City, we have been staring at Luoyang City. From the beginning to now, no one in Luoyang City can come out. Now Luoyang City has been occupied by us. I'm trapped, and I'll wait for the commander-in-chief to take it down."

"It's not difficult to take a Luoyang city, and it can be taken within a day." Zhao Wen looked at the Luoyang city in front of him, and said: "Now gather your troops and set up the camp on the east side of Luoyang city. Wall, await my command."

"Obey!" Tong Yingchao clasped his fists at Zhao Wen and saluted, and then left with Zhao Wen's order.

After the Premier League left, Zhao Wen looked at Li Xiaosan, "Let the army spread out and surround Luoyang City one by one. Remember, all four walls surround it."

"Obey!" Li Xiaosan replied, and led a few messengers to the rear.

A few quarters of an hour later, the army led by Zhao Wen started to move and surrounded Luoyang City.

At this time, the soldiers in the army also began to set up camp.

When the moon passed the horizon, the military camp had already set up.

After setting up the big camp, Zhao Wen asked all the thousand households in the messenger general and the counselors at the level of thousand households to gather in his big tent.

Sitting in the big tent, Zhao Wen looked at the generals in the big tent, "Take a rest tonight, and prepare to attack the city at sunrise tomorrow morning.

When attacking the city, directly bomb the gate of the city wall for me.According to the previous news, there are very few defenders in Luoyang City today, so our main purpose this time is not to kill the defenders on the city wall, but to enter the city as soon as possible and take Luoyang City in the shortest possible time. "

In the following time, Zhao Wen made detailed arrangements for the siege tomorrow morning.

It didn't take long for Zhao Wen to arrange the matter.

According to the news that Zhao Wen received before, in order to prevent himself from breaking through the Yellow River defense line, Sun Chuanting transferred Luoyang and the soldiers and horses around Luoyang.

In this way, today's Luoyang City has become a city with not many soldiers and horses stationed there.

It didn't take Zhao Wen long to attack Taiyuan, let alone Luoyang, where there are not many defenders.

Half an hour later, the generals in the big tent came out and returned to their camp.

As the night gradually darkened, Ma Tingyu anxiously walked back and forth in the hall of the yamen.

Officials of all sizes in Luoyang City sat or stood in the hall.

"My lord, what should we do now? Thieves Zhao drove to the outside of Luoyang city this afternoon, and it is estimated that they will start attacking the city tomorrow morning.

But we have only recruited more than 4000 young men in the past few days, and with the previous soldiers and horses, there are only [-].Moreover, these young men recruited have not been trained yet, so how can Luoyang City be defended with such a small number of troops? Tongzhi Liu Zeli stood beside Ma Tingyu, looking at Ma Tingyu who was walking back and forth in front of him, with an anxious expression on his face.

Ma Tingyu frowned tightly, his face was gloomy, he stopped, and looked at Liu Zeli, "Why don't I know what you said? But there are only so few people in the city now, how do I know how to defend the city?

If King Fu can give up money and food, I can recruit at least 2000 more people in the past few days.But Fu Wang is not willing to pay for money and food. It is difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice. Without money and food, how can she recruit young men? "

These people like Ma Tingyu talked to the gentry in the city these days, and they only got more than 4000 taels of silver.

Ma Tingyu used all of the more than 4000 taels of silver to recruit young men.

Because of the lack of money, the number of young adults recruited is also very limited.

"Tie Zhao is outside the city right now, what should we do? What should we do?" Liu Zeli kept clapping his hands, his expression flustered.

Ma Tingyu said in a deep voice: "Send someone to Fu Wang's mansion and tell Fu Wang that there is a hundred thousand troops of Zhao bandits outside the city. I don't think he can pay for it."

"Yes!" Liu Zeli replied, and hurried outside.

Not long after, Fu Wang Zhu Changxun received a message from Ma Tingyu.

King Fu sat in the study room of the palace. He looked at the guards standing at the door, and said incredulously: "The people sent by Ma Tingyu really said that? The Zhao bandits outside the city really have a hundred thousand troops?"

"My lord, it's absolutely true. That's what the people sent by the prefect told the villain, saying that there are one hundred thousand troops outside the city." The guard replied affirmatively.

King Fu waved his hand at the guard, "You go down first, if Ma Tingyu sends any news, report it to the widow immediately."

"Obey!" The guard saluted, and then went outside.

"One hundred thousand troops, Zhao thief's one hundred thousand troops are approaching the city, father, what should we do?" Zhu Yousong stood beside King Fu, his fat face was full of anxiety.

Fu Wang's right hand supported the armrest of the chair under him, beating non-stop.

"One hundred thousand troops, one hundred thousand troops!" Fu Wang muttered, his hands beating the handrail faster and faster.

"How could there be an army of 20? It was rumored that Bandit Zhao led an army of [-] to attack Henan. Zhao Wen was not an ordinary bandit. He had elite soldiers in his hands. He should have sent out his troops to attack other places in Henan.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for Zhao thief to gather all the soldiers and horses in his hands together, and the soldiers and horses in his hands are not the mob in the hands of Liu thief, so there is no need. "

Fu Wang's eyeballs kept rolling, and his brain was running fast.

But the thought in his mind was not how to help Ma Tingyu defend the city, but whether the news Ma Tingyu sent was true or not.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. It is absolutely impossible for Thief Zhao to have 10 troops outside the city." Fu Wang slapped the armrest of the chair and suddenly shouted.

Zhu Yousong's body trembled suddenly, and he hurriedly looked at his father, "Father, are you saying that Ma Tingyu lied to us?"

"Hehe!" Fu Wang didn't answer directly, but sneered, "This Ma Tingyu is really bad-hearted. Everyone said that the scholar is exquisite. I didn't quite believe it before, but this time I have to believe it."

King Fu looked at his son, "Let me ask you, is Bandit Zhao an ordinary person?"

Zhu Yousong froze for a moment, he didn't know why his father asked himself this way.

Without any thought, Zhu Yousong replied directly: "It's not an ordinary person."

"Let me ask you again, there are no soldiers and horses in Luoyang City, if you have 20 troops in your hands, will you use all the soldiers and horses in your hands to attack Luoyang?

Will you send the soldiers and horses in your hands to attack other places?Do you want a Luoyang City, or a Henan? " King Fu asked again.

"Does it need to be said? It must be the whole of Henan. Everyone rumored that the soldiers and horses in Zhao's hands were powerful, even stronger than the previous Jiannu.

If I had so many soldiers and horses, I would definitely not bring so many soldiers and horses with me, but let them attack other places.

After all, only when the soldiers and horses under him are useless, will these soldiers and horses be gathered together. "Zhu Yousong replied.

King Fu clapped his hands and said: "This is the end, you know how to throw out the soldiers and horses in your hands, don't Zhao thief know? He will gather all the soldiers and horses in his hands together to attack those who don't have a large number of soldiers and horses stationed." Luoyang? You can figure out things, I don’t believe that thief Zhao can’t figure it out!”

"Hehe, Ma Tingyu, Ma Tingyu, you are indeed deceiving me."
