Xu Yuanlang's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't speak, but the people on the side broke out into a loud cheer: "That's good, we are not spies, don't slander us!" ”

"That is, we are brave and loyal, in order to defend our homeland, we risk death to help defend here, how can we become spies!"

Listening to the wave after wave of shouts in the sea of people, Xu Yuanlang gritted his teeth, pointed directly at the man who was the leader, and said loudly: "Master Liu, it's not that I don't know the art of war, in addition to investigating the military situation, inciting the people to revolt, fishing in troubled waters, and setting fire to assassination, all of which are their tasks, why must they hide it?" ”

Speaking of this, he looked at this folk man and sneered: "This person is not a citizen of Shouchun, he was infiltrated into the city when Yang Qiu and other thieves attacked a while ago, and he took the lead in making trouble here today, it is really suspicious, come here, take him down for me, and interrogate him well!" ”

Liu Yu waved his hand: "Wait, Lord Xu, if you don't know the origin of this person, why did you let him help guard?" ”

Xu Yuanlang hooked the corners of his mouth: "This is my eldest brother's general order, Ding Zhuang among the displaced people who came to vote a while ago must be assigned to the city to die, otherwise, we will be short of manpower." ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "That's it, you didn't say that he was a spy when you left someone to guard the city, and now because this person is making trouble, you have deducted the hat of a spy, which is not very kind." ”

Liu Yu said as he took two steps forward, shot like lightning, and grabbed the steel knife on the chest of the man at once, the sergeant with the knife only felt a strong force coming from the knife, and wanted to shake it from side to side, but how could he still move half a point? I only heard Liu Yu break off and shouted: "Let go!" I didn't see how he moved, the sword-wielding sergeant was numb, and the steel knife was immediately withdrawn from his hand, and his center of gravity was unstable, and he almost fell backwards, and the two companions around him hurriedly supported him.

There was a burst of cheers among the people, Liu Yu's right hand held the back of the knife between the three fingers of his right hand, and slowly moved the blade away from the chest of the man opposite, his chest shirt had been broken, and there was a faint blood mark on the chest muscles, Liu Yu's eyes were fixed on the person's face, and he said slowly: "What's your name?" ”

The man bowed and said: "I called Yanzhi and thanked Lord Liu, I am not a spy, I am a common man of the Great Jin Dynasty." From Pengcheng to the south! ”

Liu Yu's heart moved, and he said, "Are you from Pengcheng?" His ancestral home is also Pengcheng, and when he saw this black strong man in his twenties in front of him, he naturally felt a sense of intimacy.

Zhi Yanzhi nodded vigorously: "Yes, I am a native of Pengcheng Wuhou Township, last year the Qin army went south, I joined General Mao's army, and wanted to fight the enemy, but the army collapsed, and I could only flee to Guangling, and then Junchuan won a great victory, Pengcheng was recovered, I went home and wanted to reset the industry, but the Qin army came again, and more than 20 of our fellow villagers went south together, and when we arrived in Shouchun, we were incorporated into the city guarding Ding Zhuang, how did I become a spy?" ”

Someone in the crowd was saying loudly: "Big brother is right, we are all from Pengcheng and going south together." ”

"That is, it was General Xu who said that there was a reward for defending the city, and we could return to Pengcheng's hometown, so we stayed, why did we become spies?"

"Master Xu, you have to give us an explanation, you can't wronged the eldest brother like this!"

Liu Yu looked back at Xu Yuanlang and said indifferently: "Lord Xu, is this the case?" ”

Xu Yuanlang gritted his teeth: "More than 20 of them entered the city together, we didn't have time to investigate it in detail at the time, so let's believe it, but this Yanzhi is taking the lead in making trouble today, I think there must be fraud!" ”

Zhi Yanzhi said loudly: "Lord Liu, this is by no means the case, I didn't mean to cause trouble today, I just had a quarrel with the sergeant guarding the city!" We Pengcheng people are all anxious, these days are stuffy, a little anxious, but we are not spies! ”

Liu Yu nodded: "You said that you were in a bit of a hurry, I believe it." My ancestral home is also from Pengcheng, and the people in our place are upright and serious, and I can see from you. But what do you mean when you say you're stuffy? ”

Zhi Yanzhi gritted his teeth and pointed to the outside of the city: "Lord Liu, we are all the people of the Great Jin Dynasty, this time Qin Gou is coming, we can't wait to have a big battle with them and kill them happily, but if we don't fight, the army will withdraw, Pengcheng will be lost, San'a will be lost, and now we will retreat all the way to Shouchun, it looks like we are still going to lose." The Great Jin Dynasty is thousands of miles away, and if you retreat, you will retreat to the edge of the Yangtze River, does the saint really want to abandon me like a mustard? ”

Xu Yuanlang's face changed, and he said sharply: "Bold, you dare to criticize the saint, do you want to find death?" ”

Liu Yu hooked the corners of his mouth and waved his hand: "Lord Xu, these people have grievances and let them all speak out, what's the use of blindly suppressing them?" Now the defense of the city requires the unity of the army and the people, otherwise the Qin army did not attack the city, and we ourselves will be in chaos first, can this city still be defended? ”

As soon as Liu Yu said this, there was another cheer, Xu Yuanlang's brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "But you can't let him talk nonsense like this." ”

Liu Yu sighed: "In the eyes of this brother, we just retreated again and again, and lost a large part of the country without an arrow, and now that we are here, we are withdrawing the women and children, leaving them to defend the city, can we have no ideas?" ”

Zhi Yanzhi laughed: "Lord Liu, let's believe you, you can tell our brothers to make a decision, whether this Shouchun is still guarded or not!" ”

Xu Yuanlang sneered: "You and other people, how do you know about such important military aircraft?" If it weren't for Lord Liu to intercede for you today, I would have taken you down a long time ago. Don't quit yet! ”

Liu Yu looked at Yan Zhi quietly, and said calmly: "Brother Zhi, think about it, if we want to give up Shouchun, why only remove the women and children, the old and weak, while we, the Ding Zhuang men, stay in the city?" ”

Xu Yuanlang's face changed: "Master Liu, you ............"

Liu Yu looked back at Xu Yuanlang and smiled slightly: "The people can, make it known, can't, let it be, this is an ancient precept, Lord Xu, at this time, I think this battle plan can be revealed to the people of the city." Now we want to unite as one, and if we want to defend Shouchun City, it is not enough to rely on sergeants. ”

Xu Yuanlang gritted his teeth: "Lord Liu, aren't you afraid of leaking military aircraft?" ”

Liu Yu laughed, turned his head to look at the surrounding people who were all full of excitement and expectation, and said word by word: "There is no military aircraft, all the soldiers, all the people, I, Liu Yu, can tell you here, the Great Jin River is thousands of miles, but there is no way to retreat, behind us, is Guangling, is the river, and we are temporarily separated from the wife and children, the saint and Xie Xianggong will not give up on us, the reinforcements have been on the road, as long as Shouchun is kept, the Junchuan victory can be repeated, I Liu Yu assures you, I will be here." , and all of you, fight to victory! ”
