Bloody battle! Bloody battle! Bloody battle!

The battle situation in Qiantang changed three times a day, and it was sent to Xu You's desk like a stream. The whole article is exhaustive, and it can be simply summed up in two words: brutality!

In just more than 20 days, day and night, human life has become the most worthless thing, the daily consumption of siege equipment has created a record in history, the two sides have launched a desperate struggle around Qiantang, from outside the moat to the female wall of the city, from the square wing city to the front of the two armies, every minute and every inch, do not use the flesh and blood of the soldiers and their lives to fight for it, I heard that the fingers grabbed into the soil, can seep blood from the fingers. Countless ordinary people who were held hostage in Qiantang City became victims of the war, and were driven to assist the white thieves in defending the city, from the old and weak, to the women and children, all of whom were spared, and all kinds of horrific tragic situations tested the cruelest and darkest side of human nature.

After reading the battle report, Xu You's face was very heavy, the battle in Qiantang was unfavorable, the longer it dragged on, the greater the damage to ordinary people, rather than a peaceful dog than a troubled world. But who would have thought that the white thief who was trapped in the lonely city and waiting to be killed still had such combat power, and could defend a rock-solid under the crazy attack of Xiao Yushu and Zhu Zhi regardless of casualties?

"The two fierce generals of the white thieves, Chiba is good at attacking, and Liu Yan is good at defending, but the good attacker finally lost to Zhu Zhi in the confrontation between you and me. Liu Yan is different, since he seized Qiantang, whether it is Qiu Yuan or Xiao Yushu, he can't shake Qiantang in the slightest, and now with Zhu Zhi, the imperial court has gathered nearly 150,000 soldiers and horses, but he still looks at the city and sighs, and it is difficult to step into the city. So Shichiro, if we raise troops in the future, we must recruit more good defenders under our command, at least we can keep the foundation intact, ha! ”

Xu You said angrily: "What kind of soldiers, be careful of being heard by the yellow-eared dogs of the Crouching Tiger Division, and arrest you to suffer in the Yellow Sand Prison!" ”

"Meng Xingchun is now respectful to Qilang, and he will never offend us for this little thing, there is nothing to be afraid of!" He Wei tilted his head, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, and said with a smile: "Have you ever thought about why after rescuing the princess, Meng Xingchun's attitude is more eager than before?" ”

Xu You understood what he meant, and didn't accept this, but Dong Solstice coaxed and asked: "The servant is stupid, please make it clear to Lang Jun!" ”

"The reason is simple, that San'in...... Oh, the champion princess An Yuxiu must have taken a fancy to our Shichiro! ”

Dong Solstice pursed his lips and smiled: "That's not unusual, people like Xiaolang, not to mention An Yuxiu, even the fairies in the sky will like it!" ”

"The fairies in the sky are too far away to give us any benefits. An Yuxiu is different, this time she lost the enemy camp, suffered a lot of humiliation, and her husband's family suffered disasters again, An Zidao must have pity and love, even if he can't be called obedient, he will not hesitate to reward to make up for the guilt. After all, Shichiro has shared hardships with An Yuxiu, and he is very kind to him, maybe Anzidao loves the house and Wu, and he is happy to let Shichiro return to the scholarly ......"

Frost's eyes lit up slightly, and he said, "That's the truth!" Xiaolang, do you want to send someone to Jinling to meet the princess? Naturally, we won't take the initiative to make any requests, just to greet the living, but we can make the princess always remember that there is a benefactor in Qiantang......"

Xu You sighed and said, "You two, don't listen to his nonsense, what kind of identity is An Yuxiu, out of danger, it's too late to break up the relationship with us, where will you take the initiative to mention this shameful past?" Moreover, at that time, everyone was for self-preservation, and it was not possible to talk about kindness or unkindness, and it was not to be underestimated! ”

The winter solstice frost is no longer spoken, the two of them have always adhered to proportion, and since Xu You clearly refused, he would not mention it again. But He Wei was not as good at talking as them, and said with a smile: "Qilang understands the girl's mind best, and if he leaves, it is the only way to stir the heart." It's right not to see her, it seems to be free and easy, but it can provoke her curiosity, and then miss Shichiro......"

"Enough!"

Xu You's face was straight, his brows were furrowed, He Wei closed his mouth with a smile, his eyes closed slightly, and he reached into his arms and rubbed it comfortably.

"Let's get down to business, how much money did you bring out of Qiantang this time?"

Lu Shuang hurriedly said: "There are probably more than 10 million dollars, does Xiaolang want to use the money?" I'll arrange for someone to pick it up right away! ”

"Leave 500,000 yuan for the family, and give all the other 10 million money to Gu Yun to fund him to buy rice and grain to supply the front-line military supplies."

"Huh? This ......"

Lu Shuang was surprised and said, "Gu Fujun opened his mouth to Xiao Lang to raise military funds?" ”

Dong Zhi took over and said: "In the past few days, those gate lords in Wu County have voluntarily raised a large amount of money, rice, and silk silk, and took the initiative to send them to the Taishou Mansion, ready to reward the soldiers who are fighting in Qiantang, but Xiaolang wants to participate in it?" ”

"Willing to attach to the tail, do your best!"

Xu You's eyes were deep, and he glanced at He Wei, with a special meaning in his eyes, and said: "Qiantang is also your and my home, the sooner it is settled, we can go back sooner." Money and other things, there is no more money to earn, there is no need to worry about it! ”

The military supplies transported in the rear did not stimulate the combat effectiveness of the imperial army, Qiantang still couldn't be attacked for a long time, and even the ministers in Jinling City couldn't sit still, and successively issued documents urging Xiao Yushu to quickly defeat the enemy, if it weren't for Xiao Xunqi influencing An Zidao behind his back, and the change of commander before the battle was not good for the army's morale, the newly rising general of Zhengdong was likely to go home.

The war lasted until the middle of April, the heat gradually rose, the heat was unbearable, there was a plague in Qiantang City, people were killed every day, Du Mingyu decisively dealt with it, divided the whole city into 24 places, sent troops to defend it strictly, but all those who had a trace of infection symptoms were pulled out and executed, and then the corpses were launched into the imperial army outside the city with trebuchets. This move caused a widespread panic, which directly caused the prefecture soldiers in various states to flinch, and in a siege battle that saw that they were about to ascend to the top of the city, Xiao Yushu was furious, and found out that the ministry was a subordinate of Qiu Yuan, and even beheaded Qiu Yuan to show the public despite the opposition of his staff.

When the news reached Wu County, Xu You was deeply shocked, although Qiu Yuan had been defeated repeatedly and his performance was unsatisfactory, he was also a general of the fifth grade, and Xiao Yushu was just a fake festival. The imperial court ordered the generals, with the festival as the letter, and the power was great, and it was divided into three categories, such as the festival, the festival, and the false festival, so that the festival could kill officials below 2,000 stones; Whoever holds the festival must kill those who have no official position; False festivals can only kill soldiers who violate military orders. No matter how Qiu Yuan misses the enemy, he is by no means a character that Xiao Yushu can specialize in killing, so domineering, is he really not afraid of An Zidao's suspicions?

Xu You went to see Gu Yun overnight, and when he talked about Qiu Yuan, Gu Yun stroked his palms and sighed, and said: "Qiu Zhechong was a rare warrior, and this time there was no more rebellion, but he also defended Jiaxing with his life, and saved Beiyangzhou from suffering from the poison of white thieves, Xiao Zhengdong killed him in anger, which is really embarrassing!" ”

"Feiqing, do you think General Xiao killed Qiu Yuan, will he secretly receive the emperor's order?"

"Probably not!" Gu Yun shook his head and said in a low voice: "As far as I know, Du Mingyu chopped up the corpses infected with the epidemic and soaked them in filth, and then threw them out of the city, and sent people to spread rumors everywhere, saying that this disease will kill if it is stained, and the medicine stone is hopeless. After several previous battles, the Fuzhou soldiers under Qiu Yuan had already been frightened by the white thieves, and because the rumors disturbed the morale of the army, they were cowardly in battle, and took the lead in retreating, causing the Chinese army to return in vain. Xiao Yushu's killing of Qiu Yuan was a temporary intention, one was to establish authority, strictly enforce military discipline, and prohibit it; Second, presumably it was also to punish Anzi after the war......"

Xu You understood and stopped talking about this topic, Zhu Zhi broke the embankment to defile himself, and Xiao Yushu killed himself to protect himself, so it can be seen that these generals who are leading the army outside have reached the point where everyone is in danger. Looking at the leopard in the tube, it can be seen that An Zidao was a wise and martial artist when he was young, but in his later years, he was a little stubborn and suspicious, suspicious of the prince, suspicious of the minister, suspicious of the good general, maybe the only thing that can make him trust unreservedly is Xiao Xunqi, the captain of Sili!

"By the way, I will pour all the wealth of the family to fund the military affairs of the master, the lord praised my uncle after the performance and said that the Xu family has been loyal and good for generations, and can be an example for the ministers of Great Chu, and he will not hesitate to help in the fashion of the national disaster, which is really the sincerity of the child!"

Gu Yun's uncle, who is also Gu Zhuo, came to Qiantang last time to announce the decree, and he had a relationship with Xu You. He is regarded as a close minister of An Zidao, and secretly sent the private words of the monarch and ministers that must not be spread to Wu County, which seems to have the intention of showing favor to Xu You.

Xu You didn't forget that he met at Qiantang Wharf that day, and they had a good conversation, but when he heard that he was Xu's Qilang, Gu Zhuo's face immediately changed, lest he avoid it.

Could it really be because of An Yuxiu?

Xu You's mind resurfaced An Yu's beautiful and beautiful face, but in an instant, he left it behind again. Some things, some people, think too much, just cause trouble, it's better to go with the flow, just do it and see!

"This is rare good news!" He Wei listened to Xu You's relay, patted his thigh excitedly, and said: "Since An Zidao has this meaning, when the Yangzhou matter is over, you can find a way to let Qilang restore his scholar status first!" ”

Xu You glanced at him and said, "Didn't you say before that with An Yuxiu here, it would be easy to restore the scholar's status?" ”

He Wei smiled slightly: "That's just a quick tongue, without An Zidao relenting, how dare An Yuxiu overturn the case that the prince personally intervened?" This is a difficult thing, but through the Yangzhou Rebellion, so many things have happened, and finally there is a little visible dawn! ”

Xu You was silent, An Zidao might think that he was a foolish and loyal, if he could really restore his scholarly status because of this, he would naturally be very happy. In this era, it is too difficult to do things without a scholar's background.

Qiu Yuan's death completely established Xiao Yushu's position in the army, he boldly integrated his subordinates, took Zhu Zhi's military power, and then based on the Chinese army, drilled the soldiers of various state capitals, eliminated the weak, disabled, and cowardly, and the rest were organized into three armies, and the combat effectiveness improved by leaps and bounds, and on May 3, he launched an attack on Qiantang again.
