Because of the large number of enemy troops attacking the city, nearly half of the residential buildings were burned and destroyed, and a large number of innocent people were killed.

The city of Xuansu was short, and the three thousand cavalry could not be stationed at all with men and horses, so Gongsun Qi set up a camp outside the city, echoing with the city of Xuansu, and each other was horns and supported each other.

Yao Jun was seriously injured and recuperated in the palace, although Dai Zong was stabbed twice, it was not too serious, but because he was stabbed in the thigh, the magic technique could not be used, and he worked with Liu Pi and Qin Qiong to deal with post-war matters.

Looking at the houses that had been damaged by the war, and there was still faint smoke coming out, Liu Pi said: "I actually let the enemy army attack the city, I am really ashamed of the lord!" ”

Qin Qiong comforted: "The general has tried his best to resist the enemy's tens of thousands of troops with 3,000 people, and the lord will definitely not blame the general!" ”

"Captain Qin doesn't need to say much, since the lord appointed me as the commander of Xuansu County, there is a rule to defend the city, although the enemy army was repelled today, but there are many people in the city who have lost their lives, and when the lord arrives, I will ask the lord for guilt!"

"Get out of here!"

A young man pushed a soldier vigorously and yelled in a crisp voice: "Don't touch my mother, you killed my mother, get out of the way!! ”

Liu Pi summoned the soldiers and asked, "What happened?" ”

The soldier said: "General Qiyu, the enemy killed the child's mother, he went to the city to help us carry the wounded, escaped a catastrophe, I wanted to help clean up his mother's body, but he wouldn't let ... Think we killed his mother! ”

"This..."

Liu Pi and the two glanced at each other, this is a very bad letter, the two hurriedly walked to the child, Qin Qiong said: "Child, your mother was killed by the thieves of the Gao family, why do you blame us?" ”

The young man is not big, but thirteen or fourteen years old, and the greenness on his face is still visible, but he has no timidity in the face of strangers, and this person is still Qin Qiong, the great demon king of Qin, who is already famous and terrifying.

There were still two clear tears on the young man's cheeks, and he said: "When Yang Zichuan was here, although he exploited us seriously, he didn't have to go to war, and he could get by, but now that you are in charge of Xuansu and lowered taxes, we are overjoyed, thinking that when we meet Mingjun, it will be a good life in the future, but we didn't expect that what we are waiting for is war, although my mother died under the enemy's sword, but she was actually killed by you, and you are the culprit!" ”

"You Qin Qiong have won the fear of the enemy, but let their lord swear to slaughter the people of Xuansu, how can you let us not hate you! What do you have to do with your hegemony! ”

After saying that, the young man picked up his mother vigorously, carefully placed it on a small wooden cart, and gradually left the field of vision of Liu Pi and the others.

"This..."

How could Qin Qiong not know the little boy's thoughts!

Qin Qiong used to be a small official in Licheng, Dongzhou, where did he not know the darkness of officialdom, and the suffering of the common people, a large number of fields were occupied, so that the people were displaced and lonely.

And in Liu De, Qin Qiong really saw the thriving situation, not the twilight, although all the soldiers were selfish, but they all worked together and worked hard to make it together, under the leadership of the lord, such a beautiful situation was laid, and the people were able to eat enough, and even last winter, there were few people who froze to death.

In this way, Qin Qiong's belief in serving Liu De and dying has been strengthened, creating a prosperous era, how can there be no casualties and deaths, if you can establish a peaceful and prosperous world, let yourself die, what does it matter!

Qin Qiong was not depressed by the little boy's words.

"Captain Qin, a mere teenager, what a big truth! You must not take it to heart. ”

This time it was Liu Bi's turn to comfort Qin Qiong, Liu Bi didn't think too much about Qin Qiong, after all, what Liu Pi valued most was whether the lord blamed himself, rather than how much he cared about the people's thoughts.

"Report to General Liu and Captain Qin, General Gongsun has entered the city!" An order came to report.

"Good! Got it! Liu Bi nodded and said to Qin Qiong: "Captain Qin, Commander Dai, let's go meet General Gongsun!" ”

Dai Zongdao: "It should be so! ”

Gongsun Qi took Han Tao and Peng Xi into the city, and Zhou Daodao was arranged by Gongsun Qi to organize the soldiers to set up camp.

Liu Pi took a few steps forward and bowed his hand to Gongsun: "Thanks to General Gongsun's timely arrival, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

Gongsun Qi looked at the devastation and said, "I don't deserve General Liu's praise like this, a certain is still a step late, if it can be earlier, it will not be like this!" ”

"General Gongsun, I wonder how long it will take for the lord to arrive?" Qin Qiong asked.

"It's going to take about three days!"

Gongsun Qi estimated the distance and said to Qin Qiong and the others.

Liu Pi said at this time: "I also ask General Gongsun to go to the government with us to discuss in detail." ”

"Please!"

......

Gao Bo kicked the case over, resentful in his heart, and said angrily: "It's really damn, it's just a little, it's just a little bit!! ”

Then he turned his head to look at some of the generals around him, and his sharp eyes made the generals dare not look directly, Gao Bo shouted: "What about Gao Ming? ”

"Enlightenment... Major General Qiyu, according to the soldiers who escaped, General Gao Ming was killed by Qin Qiong! One of the generals said stiffly.

Gao Bo sat on the main seat, staring at the front with stunned eyes, and his spirit was suddenly discharged.

"Major General, let's withdraw! With Gongsun here, there is no hope for us to attack the city at all! In case Guo Zidong is really dead, maybe Liu De's main force will be almost there, if he doesn't leave, I'm afraid he really won't be able to go! One of the generals tried to persuade him.

"Nope! I will not withdraw my troops! ”

Gao Bo gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "There are not even a thousand soldiers and horses who can fight in Xuansu's defense of the city, and this general can mobilize at least 20,000 soldiers and horses, why don't you dare to fight?" ”

Gao Bo doesn't care if Liu De comes or not now, he just wants to avenge his father, and hatred is the ultimate driving force that has supported him until now.

"But the morale of the soldiers is low, and they have no intention of fighting for a long time, so urging them may backfire!"

"General Ben doesn't believe that 20,000 people will not dare to fight! Tell to go down and form a death camp, and the participants will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver each, and those who capture Xuansu will be rewarded with another thousand! Fifty silver will be rewarded for taking down an ordinary soldier, five hundred silver will be awarded for those above the rank of captain, and those who take Qin Qiong's head will be promoted to sān jí, with a bounty of 10,000! ”

Gao Bo's eyes were red, and he didn't care about it anymore, and now all he could boost his morale was real money.

The generals were also shocked by Gao Bo's generosity, this wealth was nothing to the Gao family, but it was enough to arouse the greed of the soldiers under his command.

Gao Bo didn't believe it, Xuansu could still hold it like this.

One of the generals proposed: "Major General, it is better to cancel the order to slaughter the city, Xuansu City has only been occupied by Liu De for a few months, and the people are not attached, if you only punish the evil, maybe the resistance of the people of Xuansu will be much smaller!" ”

Gao Bo slapped the armrest of the main seat and shouted, "Are you questioning General Ben's orders?" ”

"The last general will not dare!"

The general quickly knelt down and said in trepidation.

"Humph! Go down and get ready to go! ”

Gao Bo snorted coldly, waved his hand, and let them all out.

As if they had been pardoned, the generals hurried out of the horde.

The guards holding halberds outside the door vaguely heard Gao Bo's roar in the tent: "All deserve to die!" They all deserve to die! ”

It's chilling!

......

"Report! Lord, General Liaocheng Yan urgently report! ”

Liu De heard the voice of the soldiers, and the hand holding the reins was suddenly paused, what should come will eventually come, Liu De closed his eyes in pain, and kept chanting in his heart: Xu Hu! Xu Hu!

Liu De slowly opened the emergency report, and tears flowed down all of a sudden!

His fingers caressed the bamboo slips, his eyes were blurred, and the handwriting on them was a little unclear.

"Lord, what's wrong?" When Liu Gui saw Liu De's appearance, he was quite worried and said, what happened, why is this so?

Liu De did not answer, but ordered: "It's getting late now, find a safe place to set up camp!" ”

"Yes!"

When the camp was set up, the generals entered Liu De's tent, looking at Liu De's gloomy expression, no one knew what happened?

whispered to each other, and some even guessed that something would not happen to Liaocheng!

"Alright, don't guess!"

Liu De looked at the generals and said: "Yang Tianming's general Xia Sheng designed an ambush to kill the family convoy led by Xu Hu, Xia Sheng was killed by a strong man named Huang Zhong, and the family members were not injured except for a few family members who were killed!" ”

Peng Yue asked puzzledly: "Lord, since the family is safe, it should be worth celebrating, why are you depressed?" ”

Liu De buckled the bamboo slip on the desk and sighed: "Xu Hu... Die! ”

"Ahh

"What !!"

The generals exclaimed, how is this possible!

"My lord! How could Brother Xu die in battle! ”

Dian Wei was completely panicked by such a big guy, his relationship with Xu Hu was much deeper than that of other people!

Liu De patted Dian Wei's shoulder and shook his head, Liu De was sad in his heart, and he couldn't speak, although he knew about it through the system early on, but Liu De has always suppressed this emotion in his heart, and now it is a relief.

Dian Wei's shoulders shrugged, crying like a child.

"Strategist, set up the altar, I want to worship Xu Hu, Gong Du, and those soldiers who died defending their homeland and fighting bravely!" Liu De commanded.

"Command!"

Xu Shu bowed and bowed.

The wind was gusting, the altar had been set up, the flags on it were fluttering in the wind, and although it was dark, the altar was surrounded by braziers, and the fire was as bright as day.

Because of the lack of utensils, everything was simplified, and the altar was only erected with wooden planks, a slightly higher wooden platform.

Xu Shu was brilliant in writing, and he had already written a sacrificial essay in a few quarters of an hour.

Xu Shu recited aloud the exploits of the soldiers who died in the war and congratulated the heroes!

Liu De and the soldiers stood on the altar silently, and when Xu Shu finished reciting, Liu De held the incense in his hand, bowed three times, and inserted the incense on the incense burner.

All the generals also offered incense and saluted one by one in order.

After the worship, the generals followed Liu De back to the big tent, Liu De said: "Xu Hu before he died, just asked his son Xu Yong to make meritorious contributions and win glory for the family, and in the end he also recommended his brother to serve me. ”

"Please also ask the lord not to be sad, if Captain Xu knows about it, he will not want the lord to be so sad because of him!" Liu Gui persuaded.

Liu De nodded and said: "But this is the case, the order is passed on, and Yannan is ordered to bury Xu Hu with the gift of the five-grade general, and carefully teach Xu Yong, wait for Xu Yong to be fifteen years old, recruit into the army, and hope that he will work hard, practice martial arts, live up to the prestige of Xu Hu, and not fall into the name of the Xu family!" ”

"Yes!"

After Liu De finished his order, the generals retreated, and Liu De picked up the bamboo slip again, and looked at a name that he was quite familiar with, Xu Chu.

I'm afraid, this Xu Chu is the military general who recruited Cao Wei with a single attribute of 90 or above!

I didn't expect to be here in such an capacity.

Xu Hu... Xu Chu...

Dian Wei... Xu Chu...

Now it's okay, Cao Cao's two major guards have been collected by themselves.

But at the expense of Xu Hu, I'd rather not have this kind of price!

Distressed...

......

"General, the enemy army has gathered a large number of soldiers, probably thousands!"

The camp established by Gongsun Qi, a white horse from the scout suddenly came to report!

"This Gao Bo is really unwilling, and he even dares to attack the city?" Gongsun Qi shook his somewhat sleepy arms, after a night's rest, the fatigue of the day was removed, it stands to reason that last night was the best time for a sneak attack, Gongsun Qi originally arranged manpower, but he didn't expect Gao Bo to send people at all, which made Gongsun Qi very disappointed.

I thought that Gao Bo saw that the situation was not good and wanted to escape!

But now it seems that this main general is still too young, and he still wants to attack the city in vain, so that he can see how powerful the White Horse is righteous!

"Assemble the army and prepare for war!" Gongsun Qi gave the order.

Gao Bo rode on his horse, looked at a group of soldiers who were red-eyed because of the bounty, and still encouraged loudly: "General Ben's words are true, as long as you take Xuansu City, each person will have a thousand taels of silver!" Come! Serve it to someone! ”

A large wooden box was brought to the front of this group of soldiers, and as soon as it was opened, the eyes of the soldiers were suddenly blinded, and it was full of silver and gold.

Gao Bo looked at the greedy eyes one by one, and nodded with satisfaction, this is what he wants.

So he ordered: "Then what are you waiting for!" Take the city for General Ben! And take the city, and don't seal the sword for three days! ”

"Oooo

"Kill!"

There was no formation, just rushing forward, and this group of soldiers had red eyes, and they had already become completely crazy because of Gao Bo's promise. Unfortunately, they didn't know that the chest was full of stones, only the chest was full of gold and silver.

After all, it is impossible for Gao Bo to transport gold and silver from thousands of miles away, and he can only think of this way, as long as he captures Xuansu City, the use value of these soldiers will be here, how could Gao Bo really give them so much money!

Even if he wanted to, the elders of the clan would definitely oppose it!

So, I'm sorry for them...
