Chapter 46: The Fall of Xiao Liang (II)
At night, Xu Xuanche's mansion in Changsha City.
Xu Xuanche, who had suffered thirty battles, was lying on the bed with his back to the sky, and his eldest son Xu Gao sat on the side, quietly giving Xu Xuanche medicine and wiping his wounds.
"Gao'er, where are all the servants in the house, why did you come to give me medicine?" Xu Xuanche looked at his eldest son and asked puzzled.
Xu Gao sighed helplessly and said: "Father, after you were dismissed, Duke Liang took away all the maidservant concubines and concubines who were rewarded to his father, and now there is no one else in the house except for children and younger brothers and sisters!" ”
"What?" Xu Xuanche's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but scold: "Shameless Xiao Miao, I have worked hard for you for more than ten years, and you treat me like this because of a letter that cannot be verified at all, I am really blind!" ”
Xu Gao echoed on the side: "Who said no, he didn't want to think about it, if there was no father for you to stabilize the situation in Changsha for him, how could he still be called a lonely widow here, and he would have been captured alive by Sui Junsheng a long time ago!" ”
Xu Xuanche let out a long sigh and said quietly: "If I knew this, I would have died in Yuanjiang that day, so I don't have to suffer this humiliation!" “
Xu Gao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, lowered his voice and said: "Father, in my opinion, since he is unkind, then don't blame us for being unjust, just don't do it..."
"What do you want to do?" Xu Xuanche glanced at Xu Gao coldly.
"Father, Xiao Mo is narrow-minded, although he temporarily let go of your father today, but judging from his current attitude towards his father, he will kill you in the future! So we might as well strike first, open the gate of Changsha and let the Sui army enter the city, and destroy Xiao Miao, so that we can not only save my father's life, but also have a future in the Sui Dynasty! ”
"Bold!" Xu Xuanche snorted coldly, "Are you going to be unfaithful to your father?" ”
Xu Gao was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The child doesn't dare, it's just that the child doesn't want my Xu family to end up with Dong Jingzhen's family." ”
As soon as he heard the name Dong Jingzhen, Xu Xuanche suddenly fell silent. After Dong Jingzhen died in battle, Xiao Mian didn't do anything to his family on the surface, but when Xiao Mian moved south to Changsha, Dong Jingzhen's family was buried in the belly of the fish because of the leakage of the boat when crossing the Yuan River in the south!
This incident was just an unfortunate accident in the eyes of most people, but Xu Xuanche knew very well that this was a murder carefully planned by Xiao Miao!
Seeing that Xu Xuanche fell into silence, Xu Gao struck while the iron was hot and said: "Father, you know better than me who Xiao Mo is. ”
Xu Xuanche frowned and was silent, and after a long time, he took a deep breath, seemed to have made up a lot of determination, looked at his eldest son and said: "You are right, Xiao Mo is a person who is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, instead of waiting for death here, it is better to cooperate with Sui Jun to have a future!" ”
Xu Gao was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Father is wise, the child will sneak out to contact Sui Jun!" ”
"What else to contact?" Xu Xuanche glared at Xu Gao dissatisfiedly, "Today's letter from Xue Rengui is a counter-plan, if I guess correctly, there are already tens of thousands of Sui troops in ambush outside Changsha City at this moment, just waiting to open the city gate for my father!" Go quickly, bring your Father's garments, and we will go up to the wall." ”
Xu Gao hurriedly responded, "The child obeys!" ”
。。。。。。。。。。
Xu Xuanche can be regarded as resolute in his work, and in less than half an hour, he dragged his injured body to the north gate of Changsha City. Because Xu Xuanche had just been deposed not long ago, Xiao Mo had not had time to clean Xu Xuanche's power in the army, most of the defenders on the north gate city wall were still Xu Xuanche's descendants, and many generals had also received Xu Xuanche's favor and were loyal to Xu Xuanche.
Xu Xuanche strode onto the city wall and immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers on the city wall, and asked nonsense: "General Xu, weren't you dismissed by Duke Liang, why did you come back, did Duke Liang believe in your innocence and reappoint you?" ”
Xu Xuanche glanced around at everyone and said lightly: "Brothers, if you talk from your heart, will I, Xu Xuanche, go to fornicate with the Sui army?" ”
"Impossible, in the past two months, General Xu, you haven't even slept in order to resist the Sui army, we all see it!" Many soldiers said in unison.
"That's right!" Xu Xuanche said with a little sadness and indignation, "I, Xu Xuanche, have worked hard for him for more than ten years, and I have always been diligent and conscientious. He wanted to kill me because of a letter that could not be verified at all, and you said, What should I do? ”
"General Xu, since Xiao Mo can't tolerate you, then why don't you take your brothers to rebel, and the big guys will listen to you!"
Xu Xuanche has led the soldiers for many years, and often shares weal and woe with the soldiers, and is more supported by the soldiers than Xiao Mill, who was born in the aristocracy.
Hearing the shouts of the soldiers, Xu Xuanche bowed deeply to them and said loudly: "Okay, I, Xu Xuanche, have thanked all the brothers!" ”
"Xu Xuanche, what do you want to do, rebel?"
At this moment, Liang General Wan Zhan, who replaced Xu Xuanche, led more than a dozen personal soldiers onto the city wall and scolded sharply.
Seeing Wan Zan on the city wall, Xu Xuanche immediately pulled out his knife in his hand and shouted: "That's right, I'm just the opposite, but this is all forced by Xiao Miao." Brother Wan, Xu is grateful for your life-saving grace today, please get out of the way, I don't want to hurt you! ”
Wan Zan suddenly changed color when he heard this, and scolded: "Xu Xuanche, you are so bold, I really regret begging Liang Gong to spare your dog life today!" ”
Xu Xuanche shot back sharply: "Brother Wan, I have no intention of rebellion, it is his narrow-mindedness and intolerable measure, if I don't rebel today, I will die at his hands in the future!" ”
Wan Zan snorted angrily, "Sophistry, it's clear that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you still want to slander Liang Gong, see me behead you and repay Liang Gong!" "Then wave the knife and go straight to Xu Xuanche.
"Brother Wan, I'm sorry!"
Xu Xuanche sighed helplessly, and swung his knife to meet it.
The two fought by the city wall for more than 20 rounds, and Xu Xuanche was finally injured on his body and in poor condition, so he was seen by Wan Zan and kicked to the ground.
Wan Zan held the knife in his hand, stepped on Xu Xuanche on the ground with one foot, and said with a hideous face: "Xu Xuanche, you want to betray Liang Gong and betray our oath to rebuild Xiao Liang back then, then don't blame me for not remembering my friendship for many years!" "Say and swing the knife and cut it.
Whoosh –
At this moment, a cold arrow suddenly shot up from under the city, impartially, hitting Wan Chan's forehead, Wan Chan screamed, and fell down on his back.
"Ding Dong, Xue Rengui was detected shooting Liang Jiang Wan Zhan. Wan Zhan, commander 76, armed force 78, intelligence 56, politics 52. Rewards the host brother with 8 Soul Points, bringing the current total number of Soul Points to 62. ”
