Now, there are still established fortresses, which means it is illegal.

But the local county magistrates didn't care, so you can imagine why.

Xie Yuan led his troops to speed for an hour and finally stood in front of Zhangjiabao.

With so many people coming here, the people inside had already noticed it. Close the entrance and prepared to defend.

The fortress was crowded with people, and she looked very panicked. Xie Yuan stood silently under him, waiting for the results of serving and investigating.

This made the owner of Zhangjiabao even more panicked.

After a while, the person he sent to negotiate came out of the small door and came to Xie Yuan.

"I'm the next surname, Zhang Shun, and I'm the steward of the Zhang family. I dare to ask... who are you? Why are you here?" The person who came was a thin Han man in his thirties.

Xie Yuan looked serious and glanced at the big flag standing next to him, saying:

"Your Majesty is directly under the Central Guard Army's Central Camp Xie Yuan, and was ordered to come and level the fortress and ask Fort Lord Zhang to bring his men out to surrender, otherwise the consequences will be borne by one."

When Zhang Shun heard this, he shook his hands and said quickly:

"Oh, General Xie, your reputation is well-known. Everyone in the world knows it. He is actually a hero among women. Fortunately, we have been grateful for you. Our lord has admired you for a long time. Please go in and have a drink of the bar."

Xie Yuan frowned slightly and looked at him and said:

"You've been talking nonsense from the beginning, and I don't like to delay my kung fu."

Zhang Shun was stunned for a moment, then quickly changed his words and said:

"Everyone is a Han Chinese, why should you be so ruthless? I heard that General Xie was born in the Xie family. We have joined in-laws within three generations. If you have anything to say, it will definitely not delay your work and will not make it difficult for you to do it."

Xie Yuan became even more impatient. She patiently took out the information page given by His Majesty from her arms, relaxed with one hand, revealing the red jade seal covered by her head, and red marks, and said coldly:

"I have nothing to say to you. Setting up a fortress to hide the population is a crime. This is an imperial edict, telling you that the lords should not be lucky, either surrender or wait for me to attack, and there is no third way."

Zhang Shun widened his eyes. Although the paper pages floating in the wind affected people's viewing, the seals and red scribble on them were as beautiful as blood, so there was no way to see them clearly.

His heart was pounding nervously, his throat tightened, and then he slapped his thigh and started crying:

"Oh, this is all a misunderstanding. General. Although our fortress has not been demolished, there is absolutely no private population. There are many leaders, village chiefs, and party chiefs. If you don't believe it, go to the government to investigate.

The reason why everyone lives in our Zhangjiabao is that bandits are rampant here recently, and the villagers are begging to live in to seek shelter.

Our lord of the fort is kind-hearted and can't stand everyone suffering, so he will be like this. General Xie doesn't believe it, so he will just pull someone out and ask questions."

Xie Yuan, who was riding on the horse, had his eyes flashed, and his phoenix eyes were full of power, staring at Zhang Shun without a moment of moment. He looked straight at Zhang Shun's calves.

Just when Zhang Shun couldn't help but want to continue swearing and swearing to defend a few words, Xie Yuan pressed his hands on the saddle, leaned forward slightly, and said warmly:

"Since that's the case, it should be no problem to let everyone in the castle come out now, right?"

Zhang Shun choked, his eyes rolled, and he was wise in a hurry: "This..."

Xie Yuan's face was a heavy expression, interrupting his thoughts, then sat up straight and said:

"Your Majesty has an order that this fortress cannot be stored no matter what, and it must be demolished now."

"But……"

"If there are bandits and your county cannot punish you, I will tell you something about taking care of you. Don't worry."

Zhang Shun grinned in an anxious manner and stretched out his hand:

"Why is General Xie so impatient? There is a grievance here. We must not give our Zhang family some time to find a way to seek an injustice with His Majesty. If it is just like this... how can we afford this charge?"

Zhang Shun fell to the ground and cried, crying as if the sky had collapsed.

The soldiers who followed Xie Yuan were all soft-hearted when they looked at it. Zhao Nianyou was about to say something.

Xie Yuan was unmoved, his eyebrows were sharp and impatient, and he shouted coldly:

"After surrendering, I have the opportunity to seek justice in front of His Majesty! Now I am obstructing and refusing to surrender, and I still dare to cry and cry out for justice? Here comes someone! I will beat me and throw it back!"

Immediately, two personal soldiers responded and turned over and dismounted to capture Zhang Shun.

Seeing this, Zhang Shun dared not continue acting, so he got up from the ground and ran back.

But he, a thin butler, could not escape Xie Yuan's personal soldiers. He was caught up in two or three steps. Shengsheng took two punches before letting him go.

On this side, Zhang Shun fled back to the fort from the small gate in a hurry. He pressed his red and swollen eyes and cheeks and said to the fortress master:

"Master of Fort, Xie Yuan is just a fool. No matter what he said, he doesn't work. He insists on demolishing the fortress today."

The owner of Zhangjiabao has gray hair and looks over fifty years old. He has a thick long beard that hangs on his chest.

Although he was just watching Xie Yuan's reaction at the gate just now, he couldn't hear what they were saying. So he asked quickly:

"Didn't you tell her that we are the ones protected by the Queen Mother Bao?"

Zhang Shun covered her face with a sad expression and said:

"Don't mention it, she took a piece of paper. I could see clearly. The top of it said that we kept this family for the Queen Mother Bao, and the bottom of it also had the emperor's seal and the red mark. I'm afraid that Queen Mother Bao will not work now."

Master Zhang was stunned. He staggered his feet and murmured as he pressed the door post next to him:

"What happened? The emperor came from the lower three counties, and there was no change. Why did he just touch my Zhangjiabao!"

Zhang Shun said with a bitter face:

"Master, what else can it be? We are Han people, and the emperor is also a Hu person. Of course, he can let the Hu people go and will never let us go!"

When the lord heard this, his sad expression gradually became firm. He turned around and drew out the long sword from the sword stand beside him and said:

"Since that's the case, stretching your head is a knife, and shrinking your head is a knife, and fighting with them!"

As he said that, he rushed out.

At this time, outside the castle, the scout who was exploring reported to Xie Yuan:

"The entire Zhangjiabao only has two gates, east and west, and two floors high. From the head of the castle, the number of defenders is about 300. The armor is complete and well-equipped. Arrows, stones, and tincture oil are arranged on the head of the castle. The east and west gates are the most, and there are no other city walls. No giant crossbow arrows are seen."

Xie Yuan looked at the words "Estimated Zhangjiabao's population was 3,000" on the information page, and put away the paper. Looking at the bulky earthen castle not far away, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:

This battle is not easy to fight.

She didn't bring any large equipment needed for the siege. How could a guard of the Central Guard attack be attacked by 500 people and attack the fortress with 3,000 defenses be won quickly?
