Another three or four days passed, and reinforcements were still not seen outside Shangchun City, and people in the city began to become restless.

"What? Are you waiting for reinforcements?"

Xiao Jiu stood on the tower with a frown, looking at the enemy camp in the distance. The densely packed tents looked like ant nests one after another from a height.

Gongsun Sheng came from behind and stood side by side with him.

Xiao Jiu pursed her lower lip, her frown showing no signs of loosening, "Something's wrong."

Gongsun Sheng heard this sentence floating out of the mouth of Xiao Jiu beside him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Jiu stood here for a while, thinking about a question.

He said, "Yang Guosi."

"There are still reinforcements that have yet to arrive."

Although Yang Guosi is patient, he is not someone who cannot grasp the opportunity.

He asked Gongsun Sheng, "Yang Guosi must rush to capture Shangchun before reinforcements arrive, but have you noticed that in the past two days of fighting, the enemy's offensive seems to be weak, and there is something wrong."

And the most puzzling point is, where have the reinforcements gone?

It has been ten days since the news came out, and there is no trace of reinforcements at all.

What the hell is going on?

Gongsun Sheng had not been on the battlefield a few times and did not notice anything wrong with the army when the two sides fought. However, he was aware of the fact that Yang Guosi's enthusiasm for attacking the city had regressed.

In the past, we would attack once before dawn, but now we have to attack in a regular manner. We eat when it is time to eat, and withdraw our troops before it gets dark.

This is really not what Yang Guosi should do.

Gongsun Sheng said, "My father sent me a letter a few days ago, saying it would arrive in five days, but I haven't received a reply in the past few days."

He looked up at the sky, but there was still no eagle in the sky to send the message, but he was not too worried. It was probably the family's strength that gave him confidence. He just felt that something had delayed him on the way, so he was late.

Already.

"You don't have to think too much. Guard the city gate. Reinforcements will definitely arrive in the near future."

Xiao Jiu exhaled and relaxed a little. Gongsun Sheng was always confident.

He was anxious, but Zhao Chang was even more anxious than him.

Seeing that the reinforcements far exceeded the deadline that Xiao Jiu had originally said had not yet come, he began to think of moving the capital again and encouraged Zhou Wuxi to move the capital.

But to be honest, Zhou Wuxi didn't actually want to go to war. Moving the capital was too troublesome, but he couldn't help but Zhao Chang persuaded him again and again. He hinted overtly and secretly that if Zhou Wuxi didn't move the capital, the rebels outside the city would attack.

It was a temptation to say how wonderful the old palace site to which the capital was moved was.

Zhou Wuxi hesitated for two days. He didn't know whether he was really tired of being criticized or because he had heard too many threatening remarks from Zhao Chang. In addition, the reinforcements had not arrived after so many days.

Finally, he finally relented and agreed to move the capital.

"O great king, sage!"

The moment Zhou Wu relented, Zhao Chang almost cried with joy.

After working hard for so many days, he finally persuaded Zhou Wuxi. Congratulations! Congratulations!

"Since the capital is to be moved, how can my uncle get out of the city?"

Zhao Chang came up with the strategy he had prepared early in the morning. He would lead his troops to personally escort Zhou Wuxi and drive away from one city gate. In addition, the remaining three carriages would drive away from the other three city gates to confuse the eyes of others.

But of course they can't escape just by doing this. First of all, the defenders at the city gate cannot let anyone leave the city at this time.

Therefore, Zhao Chang held back and continued to add, "This method can only be effective if it is implemented while taking advantage of the chaos. Therefore, we still need to make Shangchun chaotic..."

The exceptionally gentle voice seemed to mean something. Zhou Wu Xiruo raised his head and looked towards Zhao Chang, wondering, "Uncle, he wants to..."

Zhao Chang murmured an answer in a low voice, lowering his voice and said, "We can deliberately open one of the city gates and let Yang Guosi in. By then, the defenders and rebels will be fighting together, and there will be many people and confusion. The king's chariot will drive toward

If you walk out of the city in four different directions, who will know which road you are really taking?"

Zhou Wuxi slowly opened his eyes as he listened.

This was the time of "chaos" that Zhao Chang said, and it was also the time for them to escape.

Just like this, isn't it equivalent to luring a wolf into the house?

Zhou Wuxi thought for a while and then hesitantly said, "Then only the few are gone, what will happen to the other ministers?"

Although Zhao Chang's method is good, it is not suitable for many people to leave.

Zhou Wuxi frowned, what is the name of moving the capital when only the king moves the capital?

Thinking that after escaping from Shangchun, not a single minister was seen in the court, isn't this a mere commander?

Clearly understanding the meaning of Zhou Wuxi's expression, Zhao Chang hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we can privately inform the ministers and ask them to find a time to leave the city and meet again when they arrive at Shangyang."

In this way, Shangchun will only be more confused when Zhou Wuxi and others escape, and it will also greatly increase the success rate of their escape.

Zhao Chang: "You are the great king. As long as you are alive, Qi will have a future. When you arrive safely in Shangyang, if you send out the message then, there will be a response. If the ministers don't come to you obediently, why bother?"

This is true. Zhou Wuxi was still hesitating, subconsciously feeling that this move was a bit damaging, but it was indeed a good idea.

When Zhou Wuxi was in a dilemma, the retainer who was provoking Zhao Chang gave Zhao Chang a look. The latter understood the situation and immediately knelt down and shouted loudly, with tears streaming down his face.

"Your Majesty, please take your own safety first! Leave Shangchun as soon as possible, and don't put yourself in danger!"

Zhou Wuxi opened his mouth, it was obvious that he was moved, and he was just about to make a move.

"Your Majesty, please don't forget what you promised to the late king. What you carry on your shoulders is the future of a country... Your Majesty."

The strong and burly man squeezed out two tears from the corners of his eyes, as if he was loyal to him.

Zhou Wuxi breathed out, his defenses relaxed, and he finally agreed to Zhao Chang's plan.

Suddenly remembering something, he asked in a slightly feeble tone, "Then it's just you and I leaving? What should Xiao Jiu do?"

There are not many generals he can use, and Xiao Jiu is a talent that can be made. Besides, the other party has done great service for him. Now that he wants to run away, he has to leave others to defend the city and help them resist the enemy. Isn't it not good?

Zhou Wuxi couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

When Zhao Chang heard this name, he felt angry, but he held it back. Instead, he showed a trace of sadness and said in a serious tone, "Your Majesty, someone must stay to break up the heir. Besides, Xiao Shangzao disagreed before.

Regarding the relocation of the capital, even if you kindly tell him and ask him to go with you, I'm afraid he won't be willing."

"Maybe... they will even obstruct it. By then, I'm afraid no one will be able to leave..."

This sentence is purely a deliberate provocation on his part, as does its connotation.

Sure enough, Zhou Wuxi's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this, "You mean..."

Before the words were spoken, he was decisively refuted by himself.

"No, it won't happen. Xiao Jiu is loyal to me, so how can he dare to use troops to stop him?"

"Definitely not." Zhou Wuxi said with certainty, but his heartbeat was uncontrollably accelerating.

If you say something out loud, there is absolutely no reason to take it back.

Besides, Xiao Jiu must not be allowed to know about this matter, so Zhao Chang had no choice but to continue lobbying.

"Your Majesty, how did you know that Xiao Jiu would rely on you in everything? He has accomplished extraordinary feats at a young age and is used to showing weakness to others, which shows how deep his thoughts are. Don't be deceived by his superficial skills.

go."

Zhou Wuxi didn't like hearing this and looked dissatisfied.

He could still see the things Xiao Jiu had done for him and the merit he had achieved.

He only thought that Zhao Chang didn't like Xiao Jiu before he said this, and he didn't care about his deliberate selection. He waved his hand and said, "If you don't take Xiao Jiu with you, then I won't take him with you. Don't say anything bad about him again."

"If you keep talking, I will get angry."

Seeing Zhou Wuxi's unhappy expression, Zhao Chang quickly swallowed back the words that came to his lips. He did not dare to argue directly with Zhou Wuxi, for fear that he would steal the chicken but lose the rice.
