"Oh......" The strange cry like a night owl resounded through the Chinese military camp when the weather was about to dawn.

Qin Yue was woken up by a ghostly voice, rubbed his skull in pain like a crack, and reluctantly got up to get out of the tent.

Jia Yin also poked his head out of the tent, "What's the matter?" ”

Chen Scar said: "It's too far away, I can't hear clearly, in short, something happened, at this moment, everyone goes back to the account, don't come out, don't move around, everyone wait and see what happens-Gu Beixiong, you and I are on duty." ”

"No."

Qin Yuefang entered the tent, and the shouts of the officers sounded everywhere, and after a burst of chaotic footsteps, he gradually regained his calm.

But everyone, whether they were lying down, standing or sleeping, pricked up their ears and listened to the movement of the military tent from afar.

On the camp in front of the Chinese army's imperial tent, Guo Rong was disheveled, barefoot, red eyes were as terrifying as a dragon, he violently pulled out the war knife of the guards around him, and slashed it down, and the kneeling attendant on the ground screamed, and his right arm was separated from his body.

"Say—who did it?"

The rest of the guards were all shaking like chaff, their teeth chattering, but no one answered.

In the open tent, Liu Chong's eyes were round, a dagger was inserted in his chest, blood was all over the ground, and those who were already dead could not die anymore.

"Holy life, I, we really didn't see clearly, we only felt a dazzle, he ...... He was stabbed in the body......"

"Zhang Yongde, check, check me hard-"

"No."

"The Holy One is angry, and the sky is not clear now, so there must be no big movement, in order to prevent the camp from roaring. In Weichen's opinion, the problem is still with these guards. ”

It was Bian Guangfan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who came forward to advise, his camp was close to the Chinese army, and he came out as soon as there was any movement.

"Say."

"Yes, Holy One. The guards around the camp are all veterans who have experienced a hundred battles, there are as many as 100 people, and no one can sneak in without knowing it under their noses, so these few people who take care of Liu Chong are undoubtedly the biggest suspects in the murder. ”

"Why did the murderer kill Liu Chong?" Bian Guangfan said softly: "The reason can always be checked, but ......"

Guo Rong woke up violently in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, he stopped his words, and as soon as his eyes signaled, Zhang Yongde understood and shouted: "Tie them all up, gag their mouths, and detain them for interrogation." ”

"No."

Guo Rong returned to the imperial tent, washed his feet and changed his clothes under the service of the chamberlain, and drank a bowl of ginger tea, Zhang Yongde came in to report that Liu Chong bought the guard Hu Qun at the price of 10,000 taels of gold, bought a knife to commit suicide, and presented a jade wrench finger that was a token given by Liu Chong before he died.

The two sat and stood for a long time without speaking.

After a full tea time, Zhang Yongde said softly: "Holy ......"

Guo Rong shook his head tiredly, and said astringently: "I understand, let's settle the case like this, kill everyone, I don't want to hear any other news." ”

"No."

Watching Zhang Yongde leave, Guo Rong sat alone for a long time, with an obscure expression on his face, and only after a whole incense injection time did he laugh at himself: "I just don't want me to be ......happy", he suddenly began to laugh without symptoms, until he laughed out of tears, and then ordered:

"Drum beating."

The military meeting of the day was mainly to strengthen the offensive against the Northern Han. Fu Yanqing, the envoy of King Wei and Tianxiong Army, was in command, and the camp to the east of the river was deployed, with Guo Chong, the envoy of the Lanzhou Festival, as the deputy. With the Xuanhui Southern Courtyard envoy Xiang Xun as the camp soldier and horse capital supervisor, the guards are all Yu Hou Li Chongjin is the camp capital Yu Hou. With Huazhou Jiedu envoy Shi Yanchao as the vanguard commander, he led the 20,000 cavalry and set out on the same day.

He also ordered Wang Yanchao and Han Tong to lead their troops from Yindi Pass to Mizhou and Fenzhou.

With the Heyang Jiedu making Liu Ci as the accompanying driver, and the Yanzhou Jiedu making Bai Chongzan as the deputy, the royal driver was stationed in Luzhou City.

If you don't break Jinyang, you won't return to Beijing.

……

When the heavy cowhide drum sounded, Chen Scarzi Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Qin Yue and the others with a smile: "This is a gathering of generals, it's none of our business, we can make up for an hour's sleep, let's sleep." ”

Two hours later, the news of Liu Chong's suicide reached the ears of Qin Yue and the others, and everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

After arriving in Luzhou, Bian Guangfan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was responsible for Liu Chong's funeral, prepared a thick wooden coffin, and picked a thousand people from the Northern Han Dynasty to approve Ma Dai Xiao for Liu Chong, and at the same time sent a thousand armor soldiers to escort him, all the way back to Jinyang City.

Guo Rong led the civil and military forces to personally send out of the city, and there were two long rows of criminals kneeling on both sides of the avenue outside the north city, on the left was He Hui, the chief general of the Hujie army, and on the right was Fan Aineng, the commander of the original guard horsemen.

Guo Rong watched the hearse go north, turned the horse's head, looked at Fan Aineng who was kneeling on the ground, and said indifferently: "You are all tired generals, it's not that you can't fight." Why did you flee from the wind, do you really think I don't know, know the reason why I asked you to send Liu Chong. ”

"You will flee and flee, Lu met Liu Cihou's army, and he didn't even think of repenting, blatantly falsely spread the news of defeat, robbed grain and grass materials, killed the messenger of my herald, and disregarded the safety of these tens of thousands of robes, you only bent on treating me as a strange commodity and wanted to sell it to that Liu Chong......"

"Now, Liu Chong is gone, you can chase after him......" Guo Rong roared angrily.

"Slash—"

The bright steel knife fell, and the blood of shame splattered.

On this day, dozens of steel knives fell together, cutting off more than 70 generals and colonels such as Fan Aineng, the commander of the Ma Army, and He Hui, the commander of the infantry, who abandoned the formation and fled, and killed the deserters who came back and surrendered to the Northern Han Dynasty Nearly 1,000 people, and the blood flowed outside the northern city of Luzhou.

Jinyang City, the three armies are vegetarian, the people are crying, Liu Chengjun ascended the throne in front of the spirit, swore an oath with a broken finger, rather than a broken jade, and swore to live and die with Jinyang. While repairing the city defenses, he went to the Liao State, claiming to be a son, begging for help and avenging his father.

Guo Rong hadn't seen a smile on his face for half a month, although there was constant good news coming from the front line, Qinzhou, Liaozhou, Fenzhou, Shizhou, Xianzhou...... fell one after another, and there was only one lonely city left in Jinyang in the Northern Han Dynasty, but Guo Rong was more and more worried.

Because the armies of the encirclement were unanimous, saying that Jinyang City was difficult to attack, and our army was short of food and grass, even Fu Yanqing, the envoy of the old man Tianxiong Army, also suggested retreating.

Is there really a shortage of food and grass ahead? The army is surrounded on all sides, can't you take a lonely city?

In his mind, the scene of Liu Chong's chest bleeding all over the ground was filled with knife, and there was an evil fire in his heart that could no longer be suppressed, "Spread the order." ”

"Order the right servant to shoot the total grain and grass branch of Li Gu, if there is a shortage, you can recruit people to pay grain, and those who enter 500 Hu and 500 grass will be given ...... birth, and those who are 1000 Hu and 1,000 will be awarded the state and county officials."

"There is no mistake in urging Zezhou, Luzhou, Jinzhou, Jiangzhou, Cizhou, Xizhou, and Shandong Prefectures to speed up the progress of grain collection."

"Set aside the camp and start driving, and send the troops to Jinyang City."
