Faced with the rebels' besieged by the city, these vassal kings were even more panicked than ordinary people.

Because once the city is broken, most ordinary people will only lose some money and may hurt their lives. After all, there are still a few who massacre the city.

What's more, the White Lotus Sect has always shown itself as a kind person, so naturally it will not do such self-stigmatism.

But these royal families are different from officials.

You should know that this type of rebels hates their royal officials the most. If they are caught by the rebels, they will never end up in a good way.

How could the King of Jin not panic?

He is the whole family in the Jin Palace in Taiyuan City.

"What do you mean?"

Prefect Li basically had no friendship with King Jin, and this time it was even the first time they met. In the past, if King Jin had something to give orders, he would send someone to explain it directly.

Therefore, he naturally could not understand the thoughts of the King of Jin.

"You are so stupid, and I don't know how this brain is used to be the position of governor.

I will ask you one thing, do you have the confidence to keep Taiyuan City? If you have the confidence, just tell me that there is.

If not, send someone to send my family out of the Jin Palace earlier to avoid war!”

Although the King of Jin said it very righteously, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he wanted the Prime Minister Li to quickly send all the families of the Prince of Jin to escort out of Taiyuan City.

In general, he was scared!

Prefect Li was silent for a moment.

He doesn't know how to answer.

As the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, can he say that I may not be able to defend it?

If anyone says this, if anyone accidentally passes it outside, the people in the entire Taiyuan City will be panicked and may even cause riots.

However, the King of Jin obviously wanted him to send troops to escort the whole family out.

After thinking for a while, the prefect Li came up with an idea that he would not offend the King of Jin or speak inappropriate words.

“What King Jin said is indeed reasonable.

Your Highness’s family is a noble family, so naturally it cannot be equated with ordinary people.

After a while, when the rebels attacked the city, they might also bring some chaos to the city. At that time, the people will be mixed, which will be a bad idea to shock the family of King Jin!

However, there are rebels outside the city now, and the number of family members of King Jin is quite large. If they go straight out of the city, there will be danger!

It would be better for King Jin to send a letter to General Liang and ask him to come over to protect Taiyuan quickly.

General Liang has an army of 100,000 under his command, and the station is not far from Taiyuan City. He can get here in one or two days.

If General Liang comes to protect him, Taiyuan City will be as solid as a rock!

There is no need to worry about the rebels outside the city!”

Secretly sending King Jin away...

Oh!

Prefect Li did this only when he was crazy.

Not to mention the rule that the vassal kings were not allowed to leave the enfeoffed territory without orders, even if it was possible, Prefect Li would not be willing to send him away.

Everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope, why do you escape first?

There is a King of Jin here on Taiyuan City. Maybe General Liang is better off talking and is willing to send troops to rescue him quickly. If he sees him away, who knows whether General Liang can come here in time?

Besides, it is difficult for him to send someone out of the city now, let alone the large number of families in the King of Jin's Mansion.

If he responded today, I am afraid that the news of King Jin's escape the next day would spread throughout Taiyuan City. Then the people's hearts were unstable and the military morale was unstable.

Ordinary civilians would not think about the nobles of heaven and nobles, they would only think that the King of Jin had escaped, so it seemed that this city could not be defended, so they had to escape or surrender quickly.

Once the people have this idea, they can still defend the city. Before they can attack the city, the hearts of the people in the city will disperse first.

For example, if the enemy hit the capital, the emperor ran away as soon as he heard the wind. How could the soldiers who were guarding the capital have any intention to help guard Kyoto?

The so-called Emperor Tang escaped nine times and lost six times in the capital. This is a lesson from history.

"Okay, I asked you to help me, and I even made up my mind!

Is there no need to talk about it?"

Zhu Qiugui slapped the table and glared angrily.

He didn't believe that an official who could reach the position of prefectural prefect would be so simple that he couldn't even hear his implications.

This was obviously a very unwise perfunctory person, and even wanted to use him as a raft to force General Liang to send troops to rescue him immediately.

"What your highness means? I really can't understand what he said!

If your highness has anything to say, just tell the officials, and the officials will do whatever they want!"

Prefect Li also sighed in his heart, it seemed that he had offended the King of Jin.

But since I offended it, I just pretended to be deaf and dumb, pretending to be unable to understand anything.

"Oh!

OK...you are so good!"

Zhu Qiugui was so angry that he laughed.

Although he has been trapped in this Taiyuan City and cannot go out over the years, no one in this Taiyuan City dares to go against his wishes.

How could I not be angry when I was bluffed for the first time?

However, no matter how angry he was, he did not dare to attack the prefect of the prefect, nor could he say that he was timid and asked the prefect to send him and his family away immediately.

In the end, he could only sweep the cups on the table down the ground in anger, and then left angrily with panting.

Watching King Jin disappear in front of his eyes, Prefect Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's very good to leave!

Alas, now I don’t know if I should hope this city will be held or can’t be held anymore!”

Yes, if you can't defend it, you may lose your official position, but there are the precedents who sent troops to suppress the army and the army is completely dispersed. At most, he will retire and return home.

But if he offended the King of Jin, if he guarded this Taiyuan City again, he would still not know how the King of Jin would mess with him?

However, after thinking for a while, Prefect Li felt relieved.

That's it. If you can defend this Taiyuan City, you will have to die and return home or apply for transfer to other places.

The King of Jin was just a vassal king after all, and no matter how long his hands were, he could not reach out of Taiyuan.

...

Three days later

The latest batch of land mines, earth grenades and conscience-free cannons have been made.

Although the number is not large, according to Li Ju and his team's estimates of the power of these firearms in the past, even if the walls of Taiyuan City cannot be completely destroyed, half of them will be destroyed.

Therefore, on the night that these things were made, Li Ju and the others sent someone to sneak up on the side of the wall of Taiyuan City and buried hundreds of land mines.

Then, after the relevant personnel returned to the safe position, the land mine was immediately detonated.

Accompanied by the continuous explosions and dazzling firelights for nearly five minutes, the ancient Taiyuan city wall that had stood tall for countless years collapsed.
