Chapter 374: Dying Struggle

Wu Miao didn't treat him badly when he arrived at the cottage and still treated him as a VIP, he lived in the back house of Wu Miao's house, bypassed two paths, passed through a clump of fruit forests, and rushed to the Xuan Hall, and suddenly heard Wu Miao's extremely angry shout from behind the trees in front of him: "What? That's impossible! No way! ”

Hong Seyan hurriedly lightened his steps and quietly leaned over, standing behind a tree wall, listening intently, as soon as he heard the content of Wu Miao and Yun Xuan's discussion, Hong Seyan couldn't help but be shocked.

The scourge of Yao'er has stopped the reinforcements from rescuing the cottage;

Yao'er and Chen Ruzhi and many other court officials have written to the court to impeach him;

Xun Yue and Yue Xianlan have sent envoys to Lin'an to plead guilty to the Son of Heaven and explain the reasons for their rebellion;

Xun Yue and Yue Yulan have already put forward the conditions for peace, and they must hand over his head to Hong Seyan, otherwise everything will not be negotiated.

One by one, one by one, it was as if thunder struck Hong Seyan's heart, making him lose his soul. He clung to a hall pillar, like grasping a life-saving straw, supporting himself to prevent his body from softening, pinning the last ray of hope on Wu Miao and Yun Xuan, but the next conversation made him even more frightened.

"Impossible! How can I do that? Inviting the Tusi of all departments of Yunjun to publicly ask Xunyue and Yue Satin Lan for guilt, that's fine, it's just a prestige. Anyway, the plan to replace it failed, and our two brothers and sisters can't be the biggest toast in Yun County, so they can't be the governor and assassin, so it doesn't hurt to bow our heads.

However, how can it be possible to sacrifice Hong Seyan's head? If we kill Hong Seyan. Hand over his head, and we will be treacherous and traitorous to survive! What we have lost is no longer face, but people's hearts! From now on. Let's not expect a tribe to ally with us anymore, we will be alone in Cloud County! ”

Wu Miao's face was pale, and it was very terrifyingly distorted: "Brother Yun, you are a smart person, can't you see how insidious the trick of the old thief of Xunyue is?" If we do, we won't have a foothold in Yunjun anymore! ”

Yun Xuan's voice had a kind of heroic loneliness: "Brother Wu, do we still have a choice?" ”

He sat down on the stone bench. said gloomily: "Yao'er is not dead, the court will definitely know the truth." You don't have to deny it, look at Hong Seyan's attitude of wanting to put Yao Er to death. knows that as long as this person lives, he will definitely be able to ruin his good deeds, what does it mean for the court to know the truth? ”

He looked up. Looking at Wu Miao. Desperately: "This also means that you and I have no support, there will be no reinforcements coming, no one will stand up for us, what else can you and I do?" ”

Ambitious people may not have the corresponding courage and talent, some ambitious people succeed, but more ambitious people are ambitious and talented, and eventually harm others and themselves. Yun Xuan is just such a person. At the beginning, Wu Miao was hesitant to use the power of the imperial court to force the two barbarians against Wu and Bai, but he insisted on his own opinion. Now that the situation is not good, he is the first to regret it.

Wu Miao said miserably: "I didn't want to respond at the beginning, but you insisted on going your own way. Now bow your head, what else is there besides the rebellion of the people? ”

Yun Xuan heard his hesitation, and his eyes lit up: "How could it not be?" We admit defeat now, and at least we can save our strength, in that case, even if you and I don't have a chance to take our place, but what about our sons? What about grandchildren? Hundreds of years from now, who will remember what you and I have done today? What we want to fight for is not the glory and glory of you and me for a while, but whose family can become the most powerful force in Yunjun in the future.

If we don't agree to their terms, our elite will be eaten up by them. Do you think that the other tribes will not follow suit and swallow us up? Xun Yue and Yue Satin Lan are really not good enough and can still defect to South Vietnam, what about us? They are a barrier outside of us, we can't rely on any of the forces, we're finished! ”

Wu Miao slammed his fist on the stone table, blood oozed from his hands, but he didn't seem to feel anything at all, he really regretted it now, remorse was like a poisonous snake, devouring his heart one bite at a time.

Yun Xuan was taken aback by his movements, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "What if...... You really don't agree with us killing him, so how about we hand him over? ”

Wu Miao said in a deep voice: "What's the difference between this and killing him with our own hands? ”

Yun Xuan lowered his eyes, thought gloomily, suddenly opened his eyes, and said excitedly: "There is!" I have a plan to get us to meet their demands without ruining you and me! ”

Wu Miao shrugged and said, "What's the way, you say?" ”

Yun Xuan stood up excitedly and told Wu Miao his thoughts, Wu Miao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said happily: "This plan seems to be feasible!" ”

Hong Seyan stood behind the tree wall, listening to the two of them discussing how to kill himself in a bright light, only so angry that he wanted to burst his heart and gall, he clenched his fists and wanted to jump out and scold, but he didn't take a step, and suddenly thought that he had been abandoned by these two people, and this was not the time for him to make a big fuss, if he jumped out. I'm afraid that the two of them will kill him directly.

Hong Seyan rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth, and quietly retreated to the back house......

……

Generally speaking, attacking the city, in addition to the means of internal and external cooperation, sneak attack, etc., is nothing more than using fire to bake and splash water through thermal expansion and cold contraction to crack the city wall. Dig deep holes to sneak into the city, as well as ladders, hit wood and other methods, but in this mountain these methods are useless, the main thing is to fight, charge, counter-charge.

It's just that because of the difference in terrain, it is impossible to conduct a large corps battle, so the scale of the battle is relatively small. But for these native soldiers, such a battle has never been more fierce, arrows are flying, bamboo throwing spears are spilled out as if they don't need money, and stones can be used as weapons, and every step is to open a bloody path with flesh and blood.

There is no military discipline to speak of here, and there is no orderly order of advance and retreat, whether it is an attack or a retreat, the order cannot be strict at all, the whole battle is all over the mountains, and it is often here that orders are given, and it takes a long time for the soldiers who are scattered in the mountains, grass, and woods to fight before they understand the intention of the commander through the reactions of others.

Especially the individual soldiers scattered in the jungle, their environment is even more dangerous. The battle between them was not as bloody as it was, but it kept people tense at all times. You don't know if a cold arrow will suddenly shoot out of the grass, if a bamboo spear will suddenly fall from a tree, where a pit full of bamboo thorns will suddenly collapse, and you can't be sure that a group of enemies will suddenly appear out of nowhere.

This kind of battle that lifts up the spirit at all times is more mentally torturous than the battle where there is a clear distinction between friend and foe on the battlefield. It is also easier to make people collapse, many people become nervous because of this, and those who are killed by various insidious killing tactics are even more agitated, even if they suddenly encounter a small group of enemies, the other party knows that they are invincible, and is willing to abandon their weapons and surrender. Pounce on it and kill it too.

On the rugged mountain road, countless corpses were killed, some with purple faces and angry eyes. It was a poisoned arrow; Some were shot through the body by the bamboo spear, and because of the support of the bamboo spear, the body was still standing there on its back; Some were killed by swords, and some were scuffled together and their brains burst. The deceased was still clutching the red and white stone ...... in his hand. Rao is a person who is used to seeing death, and it is shocking to see it.

Wu Miao sent a messenger again, this battle really can't go on, and if it continues to fight, of course, the two barbarians will suffer heavy casualties, but the cottage with a weak army and a lack of food and no help can not hold on.

The messenger shook the white flag on the mountain, and although the warriors had already killed the red eyes, they still kept a little sober about the messenger waving the white flag. No attack was launched against them. Soon, a small-headed man found out about the situation. A few of his own soldiers were sent to escort them down the mountain, but the battle on the hillside continued......

……

Xun Yue couldn't help but laugh when she heard the envoy's words: "Hahahaha, Wu Miao and Yun Xuan, they really lost the face of my Yunjun man, and they can think of such a trick." ”

Wu Miao's messenger's face turned red and white for a while, the shameless idea was indeed from his master, and he had no way to refute it.

Yue Satin Lan bent her fingers and gently tapped on the desk, and said with a smile: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Let the two sides negotiate formally first, and then ask us to capture Hong Seyan by surprise. In this way, Hong Seyan's death is at most unfavorable for their protection, and the negotiation has already been agreed upon by the four major tribes, and it is related to the vital interests of the four major tribes. ”

Xun Yue's face sank and shouted, "Wishful thinking!" We don't say yes! You go back and tell Wu Miao that if you want to surrender, surrender, don't want your mother-in-law, Hong Seyan is the culprit who provoked the war between the four clans, and he must be handed over! Otherwise, we will have to fight to the death! ”

"Wait!"

Yao'er interjected with a smile: "Hong Seyan kidnapped Xunyuetou in Qiongjun in order to extort property, and when he arrived in Yunjun, in order to create trouble, he invited the court to make contributions, and instigated the Wen and Yun tribes to provoke the two Tusi lords, provoking a war between the four clans, which can be described as a combination of new and old hatreds, personal hatreds, and tribal hatreds, and Xunyue Tusi killed them in anger, which is a provocation of righteousness and is not ashamed." If the battle continues, we are naturally not afraid, but there have already been so many warriors who have sacrificed their lives, and the plans of the two Tusi of Wu and Yun are certainly despicable, but for the sake of those warriors in the clan, why should the two Tusi be bothered? Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people! ”

Yue Yulan said: "Well......, since Qin Cha said so, I think it doesn't hurt to agree to them." ”

The current Yao'er is not the Yao'er when he was in Hebai Village, and now that the initiative has been in her hands, the characterization of the chaos in Yunjun falls on her, and her attitude will determine whether the future of Yunjun is war or peace, her opinion, Yue Xianlan and Xunyue can't help but take it into consideration.

"Well, since the Chin Cha said so......"

Xun Yue glared at Wu Miao's messenger and said, "Why don't you go back and tell your Lord Tusi to prepare early!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The messenger was overjoyed, there was still a war on the mountain, every time he delayed, he didn't know how many more people died, his three sons were also among the soldiers, once he got the reply, he didn't want to wait for a moment, and quickly bowed to the three of Yao'er: "Thank you for the merciful Lord Qincha, thank you for the magnanimous Xunyue Toast, Satinan Toast......"

Yao'er smiled and said nothing, if she fought again, Wu Miao and Yun Xuan would be crippled, these two careerists would not necessarily be a bad thing for the imperial court to keep them, and it would not necessarily be a bad thing for Xunyue and Satin. The two barbarians are now allied, with both the friendship of war and the righteousness of Weng and son-in-law, if the two major tribes ranked third and fourth in Yunjun collapse, their territory and power will inevitably rise to a higher level. People's ambition and ** are constantly growing with the increase of power, and at that time, it may become a bad thing for both the court and the barbarians.

In the cottage, in the back garden of the Wu family's ancestral house, Hong Se Yanqing's seeping face, the ribbed flesh on his cheeks was tightly tensed, looking at the two deacons in front of him, these two people were the two entourages he brought out from the capital, and they were originally brave and aggressive in the market.

Hong Seyan said: "What should be said, the official has already told you, now we are grasshoppers on a rope, we can't jump on me, we can't jump you, we want to live together, we want to die together, that's the result." The method that the official said is our only way to live, have you two already thought about it? To do it or not to do it? ”

Fang Cai Wu Miao and Yun Xuan came to Hong Seyan excitedly, and told him that after many negotiations, Xun Yue and Satin Lan had basically agreed to their compensation conditions, and the two Qin Cha of Hong Yushi and Changshi would serve as mediators, and the two sides formally held negotiations, and if the negotiations were successful, they would make a bloody alliance, and from then on they would conclude a brotherly alliance and never infringe upon it.

Wu Miao and Yun Xuan said as if there was really such a thing, Wu Miao was responsible for informing him of the process and results of the contact between the two sides, and Yun Xuan seemed to be dissatisfied with such a concession on the side, and from time to time he would make a few complaints, making Wu Miao's words sound more real and credible.

However, Hong Seyan had already overheard the discussion between the two of them, and he only sneered in his heart, but his face pretended to be true, and he reprimanded them with a pretended dissatisfaction, and after the two of them explained their hardships in every possible way, they reluctantly agreed.

As soon as Wu Miao and Yun Xuan left Hong Seyan's residence, they let out a long sigh of relief, they were really tired of acting in this kind of play. Hong Seyan accompanied them to act, and seemed to be exhausted, and after sending the two away, he returned to the room and sat down, pondering for a long time, and then called his two personal guards and hid in the back garden.

Hong Seyan learned the lessons of Wu Miao and Yun Xuan, and deliberately chose a small pavilion, which was condescending, and there were no trees to cover it, so as not to have ears on the partition wall.

Hong Seyan had already carefully considered that he could not openly break with Wu Miao and Yun Xuan, and now that he was in Wu Miao's cottage, he was a piece of meat on Wu Miao's chopping board, and if he broke openly, he would definitely die. (To be continued......)
