The sun was setting, and the Wu army came to clean up the battlefield.

Yu Tuo came as a messenger, and to his surprise, Tian Xin opened the city gate to welcome him to the city tower to talk.

So much so that the situation in the city was understood by Yu, and he was not afraid of Yu looking at it.

At this time, Pan Jun performed the duties of the county guard and began to mobilize the children of Ding Zhuang and soldiers in the city to stay at school, and he had 2,000 Ding Zhuang auxiliary troops and more than 1,000 soldiers.

The houses near the city wall are being demolished in an orderly manner, and the scene of the military and civilians working together to prepare for war.

After all, this is Gangneung, and the residents of the city are mainly the families of the soldiers on the front line, so they have a high degree of adaptability to the war.

When Yu turned over, Tian Xin was holding a cloth towel and carefully wiping Fang Tian's halberd, the wide and heavy halberd blade showed a dark black color after quenching, and now after being strengthened, the dark halberd blade had a more obvious gray-blue steel pattern.

Tian Xin looked sideways at Yu Translation: "If it is a word of persuasion, you don't have to speak." The prince and the son pushed me to wear clothes, and the king of Han pulled me out as a general, and I would rather cut off my head than surrender to a thief. ”

Yu turned his hand: "The general has noble ambitions, I know it." Therefore, I came only to obtain the head of our army's officers and soldiers, in order to bury my whole body. ”

"Yes, the 237 heads of this battle can be returned, and I hope to treat our public security soldiers who have landed well."

Tian Xin handed Fang Tianhalberd to his subordinate Governor Yan Zhong, got up and stood in front of the guardrail to look at the Wu warships and transport ship clusters near and far that the river fog gradually covered in the evening.

Yu turned over and said: "The general is benevolent." ”

"The officers and men of the two armies are their own masters, and fighting in front of the battle is a public matter, and there is no selfish enmity. If there is nothing else to do, please come back, and I will send someone to send the heads of the Wu soldiers out of the city later. ”

Tian Xin didn't look at Yu from beginning to end, there was no need to be embarrassed and scold Yu Fan, it was Sun Quan who could decide to betray the alliance, and Lu Meng just did what he liked.

As for the more than 200 heads, the biggest role is to encourage the morale of the city and make the officials and citizens more obedient to themselves.

Now that the goal has been achieved, it is difficult to have any beneficial effect by hanging more than 200 heads on the city wall except to arouse the anger of the Wu army.

By the time the skull begins to rot at noon tomorrow, the stench will be followed by the cause and spread of disease.

Yu turned and successfully brought back the heads of the fallen soldiers, and Wu Jun stitched up the corpses and carried out a centralized cremation in front of the Jiangling wharf, with flames four or five feet high.

The fire shone on the face of Red Lu Meng, facing the strong city of Jiangling, and now there was only one way to attack.

was quite unwilling, and asked Yu Xuan: "Zhong Xiang, is it feasible to send other troops to attack the old city north of Jiangling City tonight, and make noise to surrender the army to make chaos?" ”

Yu Fu recalled what he saw and heard in the city and said: "There are more war equipment in the south of Jiangling City, and Tian Xiaoxian may have the intention of disturbing our army." Governor, tomorrow's army will attack the city, and then attack the old city separately can make Tian Xiaoxian unable to care about each other. ”

At the second watch, the south gate of Gangneung suddenly opened, and the drum and trumpet of the city rumbled and resounded.

The Wu army camp around the Jiangling wharf was set on fire everywhere to defend it to the death, and Tian Xin had to withdraw his troops; At the fourth watch, the Wu army was disturbed again, and the Wu army was still in strict formation, and the fire was bright, and it was impossible to get close to the Wu army camp in the night, so it had to give up.

When the sky dawns, it is September 29, the last day of September, the day of frost.

Dark clouds are looming overhead, and there may be a cold rain in late autumn.

Mrs. Guan once again organized the ladies and children in the city to transport hot meals to the city and the barracks, and the bamboo hats and robes collected from each family were also sent to the city for later use.

Tian Xin only slept for an hour, and when he was eating, he listened to the cheers of the Wu army in the distance, as if he did it on purpose, with the intention of suppressing the morale of the defenders.

Not long after, when the Wu army was carrying siege equipment, a messenger came to the city, holding a wooden plate in his arms, showing a clean head, and a silver seal and a number of copper seals on the side.

The envoy raised his head and shouted: "Yesterday evening, Fan You, the guard of Yidu County, abandoned the city and fled!" The head of Yidu County Lieutenant Zhan Yan and the seal letter are all here! Our army has broken Huya Mountain and Jingmen Water Village, and the road to reinforcements in Yizhou has been cut off! Jingbei's northern army is caught in the middle of the feathers, and he is too busy to take care of himself, so how can he talk about returning to Jiangling? ”

"Marquis Wu personally led an army of 100,000 people to pass Xiakou, and the soldiers and civilians in the city should think about their lives!"

Tian Xin showed his head, and when he saw that it was just a young messenger, he raised his voice: "Go back and tell your family that Wu Hou is short-legged, and say that Tian has been waiting here for a long time, and he is willing to learn Wu Hou's Sun Tzu's art of war." ”

"General Tian, don't you hear that good birds choose trees to perch on, and virtuous ministers choose their masters?"

The envoy bowed his hand and bowed: "My lord Wu Hou Xiongcai roughly knows how to make good use of people, if the general surrenders to Wu Hou's command, he will not lose the position of marquis!" ”

Tian Xin slowly raised his hand, the left and right archers stretched their bows and wanted to shoot, Tian Xin responded loudly: "If it is the first Wu Hou Sun Bofu, he is indeed a hero, and I admire it very much." Today's Wu Hou, the scavenging crow also! If you show the benefits of your tongue again, you will be taught to die with ten thousand arrows piercing your heart! ”

The envoy took three steps back and bowed again: "I hope the general will think deeply." ”

"Don't think about it, I heard that Wu Hou poisoned Zhou Gongjin, how can such a jealous and capable person be able to serve Yingjie?"

The envoy's face pale: "The general wants to lead a city of soldiers and civilians to die?" ”

"In the past, Pang Shiyuan made a contribution to Zhou Gongjin's account, and kept the secret structure into the Shu plan. Zhou Gongjin died violently after seeing Wu Hou, and Pang Shiyuan fled to serve the king of Han after mourning, offering the strategy of attacking Yizhou. This is something that our generals and schools all know, and it is not a false accusation, how can you say it? ”

"Pang Shiyuan's brother Pang Shiheng is my colleague, how can I not know this old news!"

Tian Xin's voice spread throughout the city tower: "I should have been a shame for His Holiness, but Sun Quan betrayed the alliance and attacked me one after another. He is willing to act as a villain, and the people of the world can discuss his villain's behavior! ”

The envoys of the Wu army fled in the wilderness, and the officials of the city tower were all surprised.

Luo Qiong, the protector of the second Tian Xin, didn't know the old news back then: "What the general said is true? ”

"If Sun Quan and Lu Meng are forced to attack, then what I say is true. Our army holds Jingzhou, then what I say is true. ”

Tian Xin stretched out his hand to catch the battle helmet handed by his brother Tian Ji, and tied it on his head: "Now that Sun Quan is attacking the country, Jiangling City is strong, which just frustrates its sharp spirit and makes its main force trapped under the city." In this way, Jingnan County can delay for a long time, and the army of the prince can also arrive quickly. ”

Not long after, Zhan Yan's head was sent to the city tower, Tian Xin remembered the fate of several sides on the battlefield of Xiangfan, and said to Zhan Yan, who was still angry and hideous: "Brother first, wait for me to kill the thief before I worship." ”

He turned his head to look at Luo Qiong: "Send it to his home." Sue Pan Chengming, it is advisable to be buried. ”

Although Zhan Yan is the county lieutenant of Yidu County, he is also a newly promoted county lieutenant, and he was only a middle-level military officer before, and it is estimated that his family will not have much savings.

In the sandbar in the center of the river, Lu Meng built a wooden platform and set up a curtain to shelter the wind.

He was having a school banquet with Zhu Ran, Yu Tuo and other generals, and the messenger stumbled in.

Lu Meng asked, "What is Tian Xin's intention?" ”

The envoy did not dare to speak, and blushed.

Zhu Ran opened his mouth and asked, "What is it?" ”

"Tian Xin slandered the Supreme, his words were vicious, and the subordinates did not dare to speak."

The envoy did not want to say it in public, and Lu Meng asked again: "So, this person is determined to hold on?" ”

"Exactly."

The envoy's palms were sweating, and after Zhu Ran saw this, he went behind the curtain to inquire about the inside story in detail, and then returned to Lu Meng's side with a gloomy face and whispered in his ear.

Lu Meng's expression changed slightly: "Ordering the three armies, the one who takes Tian Xin's head is the first merit." ”

It is meaningless to kill or not kill the messenger of their own family, so many defenders and soldiers at the head of the city can hear it clearly, it is estimated that by noon, the infamy of the short-legged Wu Hou, the poisoning of Zhou Yu, and the scavenging crow will spread in Jiangling City, and everyone will know about it.

However, when more than 10,000 people of the Wu army lined up to attack the city, cold raindrops began to fall from the sky, like a scoop.

The raindrops in this autumn and winter are as big as beans, crackling and falling, and the vision is dark.

The Wu army had no choice but to collect troops and return to the ship to avoid the rain, let alone divide their troops to attack the old city of Jiangling.

This is the rain of autumn and winter, Tian Xin has the intention to take the opportunity to assault the Wu army, but it is a pity that this rain fights...... It is equivalent to forcing ordinary soldiers to die.

Fighting in armor is a very tiring activity, and the armor is inconvenient to dissipate heat, and it is drenched in cold autumn rain.

It is estimated that after a fight, the vast majority of people will become ill.
