"The last general is incompetent, please deal with it!" Wang Tong knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Qu Tuye helped Wang Tong up: "You can't blame you for this matter, or Ben will not think about it." Wu Jie is a general of the Song Army, with both wisdom and bravery. As early as after the Jingkang Revitalization War, the people listed the five tiger generals of the Song Army, and Wu Jue was one of them! ”

"Five Tiger Generals?"

"That's right, Wu Jue, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Yue Fei, Zhang Jun, this is the five tiger generals of Zhongxing in the Song Dynasty! It's not just because of their abilities, but also because of their ability to save the dragon. Qu Tuye explained.

The generals nodded, it turned out that there were such things, and General Qu Tuye really knew a lot.

Wang Tong asked again: "The last general has a question, it is said that Qu Ping, the Yongguo Duke of the Song Dynasty, is even more young and promising, wise and promising, and many battles and diplomatic victories are led by him, why is there no him among the five tigers?" ”

Qu Tuye said: "If you have to give an explanation, it may be that he is already higher than the level of the Five Tiger Generals." Besides, the Five Tigers will just be a folk saying, and it can't be true. Qu Tuye sighed, "Hey, there is a 'Qu' in the same name, why is there such a big difference in the general's situation?" ”

The general persuaded: "The general does not need to extinguish his prestige, he drove away the Song army in the future, and the emperor will definitely restart the reuse of you. ”

Wang Tong said hatefully: "You can't blame the saint for this matter, you can only blame the king of Xiazhou." ”

Li Changzuo has nothing to do with making friends with so many people, it's just promiscuous, now it's okay, if one person has an accident, everyone will suffer. Thinking that Li Changzuo went around forming gangs and cultivating cronies, he had long had the intention of rebellion.

Qu Tuye said: "What do you blame him, blame him for making friends, blame him for benefiting countless people?" Qu Tuye said, "Being a courtier is just a matter of loyalty to the king." Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, loyalty is still in the first place, righteousness is still the last, what to do, what to say, everyone should be very clear! ”

Qu Tuye has always had a clear conscience in life and work, never talking about other people's ways of doing things behind his back, and he doesn't care about other people's accusations.

"Yes, General!" The generals agreed. Qu Tuye's style of acting is upright, and he is deeply loved by the soldiers.

However, it was said that in Wu Jue's camp, Wu Ting returned victorious, everyone rejoiced, and naturally the army's morale was greatly boosted.

Wu Jue congratulated Wu Ting on his victory slightly, shook a piece of letterhead in his hand, and said, "Yongguo Gong has disappeared for a few months, and now there is finally news." It turned out that he had already taken the opportunity to secretly infiltrate Western Xia and plan big things. This is a handwritten letter from Yongguo Gong, which was sent by someone just now. ”

Wu Ting respectfully took the letterhead, read it carefully, and said: "This is indeed Yongguo Gong's handwriting, the last general had the honor to follow Yongguo Gong to the Western Regions, and observed his calligraphy, the pen is indeed unique, rare in the world." ”

Wu Jue said in his heart, Yongguo Gong's chicken-like handwriting is also calligraphy, so everyone who can write is a calligrapher.

Wu Jue said: "Yongguo Gong's calligraphy is indeed unique, everyone is not busy with his calligraphy handwriting. Yongguo Gong sent a letter to the general, saying that he had gone to fight with the Marquis of Ningxia, so that our army would overcome difficulties and advance all the way to the west, and we must hit the last line of defense in Xingqing Mansion. The pressure on our side is great, so Yongguo Gong's side can find another way to go sideways. ”

The letter did not say what Yongguo Gong was going to do, but everyone believed that he must have a way. I don't know what happened to Qu Ping at that time, so he mysteriously disappeared. Fortunately, now that there is news about him, everyone and even the emperor can rest assured.

Wu Ting said: "It's great that Yongguo Gong is fine!" Yongguo Gong is fine, the enemy is about to have a big event! ”

Wu Jue said in his heart: "Don't worship blindly, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment when the time comes!" Of course, this can't be said in public, and it's not good to not give face to others behind your back.

"Wait and see what happens, and actively cooperate." Wu Jue said.

On the second day, Wu Jue went to the outside of Youzhou City to call for battle.

The gate of Youzhou is closed, and only the hidden arrows on the city are waiting.

If it doesn't work, then psychological warfare will come.

Wu Jue sent soldiers with very loud voices, holding a loudspeaker invented by Qu Ping, and kept shouting to the city of Youzhou:

"Soldiers and civilians of the city, you are surrounded. The terrain of Youzhou City is high, so the water source must be very important, right? It's okay, our army has gone to help you protect the water! Also, you must not let the common people or the elderly, weak, women and children evacuate in advance, because there are many jackals, tigers and leopards outside the city, and it is not good if they are injured! The Great Song Dynasty is peace-loving, and will not kill innocents indiscriminately, as long as you open the city gates and lay down your arms, we will treat the prisoners and the people well! ……”

This is the case until the evening, and no one in the city answers, so you can dry your throat as you shout.

At the same time as the psychological warfare was attacked, Wu Jue sent soldiers to fill in the upper reaches of the water source to intercept the flow, and dig holes in the lower reaches to divert water.

On the evening of the third day, in the city of Youzhou.

The common people in the city, who were the reserve personnel of the city, were gathering around to bake the fire. The people have not undergone professional military training, and everyone has always been shrouded in a tense atmosphere, and even the words are cautious.

"Now the Song army is at both ends of the water source, one side intercepts the flow and the other releases water, if this continues, if our army can't fight, sooner or later there will be no water source, and when the time comes, there will be no water to drink, I don't know how long we can hold out?"

"Yes, the imperial court has not sent reinforcements to rescue it so far."

"Who will come to save us now, only save themselves! Do you know that the rebels in the north are attacking directly in the direction of the capital, and we are invading the Song army in the south. The sideline defense is very tight now, and it is shrinking step by step! Many of the troops that can be mobilized have already gone to support Xingqing Mansion! ”

"If you go to support Xingqing Mansion so early, what about other states and counties?"

"As soon as Youzhou City is lost, the Song army will attack the Jingshi from the north of the Great Wall, and it is very likely that Yanzhou will be bypassed."

"Doesn't that mean that the line of defense is useless?"

"Who knows!"

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Who's crying?"

"Hey, that's not the horseman in the west of the city, why is he crying?" Love 999

"Maybe it's a pity for my own property and my wife and concubine. Let's go, go ask, and see the excitement. ”

"Outside the horse, do you want to be a concubine?"

The horseman leaned against the wall, saw someone coming around, struggled hard, leaned his fat body against the wall, dragged a white dove with half blood in his left hand, and held a small note in his right hand, he trembled and raised his white and tender right hand to wipe his tears, and said sadly: "Laugh, you will cry like me later." ”

I don't know why, so I asked you what you mean.

The horseman shook his left and right hands and said: "See, this wounded pigeon, this bloody note, the last words written by my wife before she died!" ”

A literate man next to him snatched a note from his right hand outside the horseman, which read: "It is inevitable that it will be dragged down, and the officers and soldiers will kill us."

The man was shocked when he saw it, the officers and soldiers actually brutally killed the people?

"How is that possible? It's a lie! I'm going to ask General Qu Tu for questioning! ”

Ma Yuan said: "In black and white, I have thousands of horses outside the city, will I lie to you?" This pigeon was originally used for communication, but now that the family is gone, you can fly away by yourself, where to go safely. ”

The rider let go of his left hand, the pigeon flapped its wings, and a few ups and downs disappeared.

The people couldn't believe that this was true, and they must be clamoring to see Qu Tuye. Everyone is here to help defend the city, but the officers and soldiers think that it is a burden to send away the old and young women and children, and they are brutally killed, which is too inhumane and lawless!

When the soldiers noticed the movement under the city, they thought they were going to riot and hurried over to maintain order. As soon as the soldiers came, they surrounded the people with knives and guns.

One of the lieutenants shouted, "Quiet! What are you arguing about? Yes? ”

"What for! Are you going to kill us together? Someone in the crowd shouted.

The imposing people shouted: "The people are kind enough to help you defend the city, and you are still pointing knives and guns at us!" ”

The soldiers don't understand why the people suddenly have such a big fire, isn't it to maintain order that they stopped you with knives and guns?

In the crowd, someone picked up a stone and smashed it the face of one of the soldiers at the front.

The soldier was smashed in a daze, and in a fit of rage, raised his knife to slash.

Originally, this knife would not reach the people opposite, but the people in front of him were accidentally pushed by the crowded people behind, and their heads hit the knife face impartially, and with a bang, their heads bloomed, and blood splattered.

"The officers and soldiers have killed!"

Now it's okay, something has happened, something has happened!

The soldier was also stunned for a moment, he didn't plan to kill him! He bumped into it himself!

Angry civilians rushed up and scuffled with the officers and soldiers. The sword has no eyes, and it is inevitable that someone will be injured.

The matter was quickly reported to Qu Tuye, who immediately arrived at the scene with someone and shouted, "Stop! Stop! I'm Qu Tuye, everyone stop immediately! ”

The officers and soldiers were the first to stop, and the people were unforgiving and continued to chase and fight, until more officers and soldiers surrounded and showed their weapons, and the people stopped in a daze.

The horseman said, "General, is this how you treat the people in the city?" ”

Qu Tuye said: "It's too late in the future, there must be some misunderstanding in this." ”

The captain who had maintained order before was beaten and his face was bloodied, and he ran up to report to Qu Tuye.

Ma Yuanwai said: "General Qu Tu, you keep saying that you want to send us out of the city, but we don't leave, we want to defend the city with you, and you bitterly let us send our wives and children out of the city." Who knows, you have such a dirty heart! You took our relatives to a remote place outside the city, and you brutally killed them all, you are simply heinous, and you are worse than pigs and dogs! ”

Qu Tuye was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said kindly: "This fellow, don't be impulsive first, will this do Ben any good?" ”

"No matter what your psychology is, now that the facts are here, you can't quibble!" The horseman held up the note in his hand, "This is the evidence!" ”

Qu Tuye asked people to take the note, looked at it carefully before and after, and said, "This alone? ”

"Hmph, do you dare to question the soldiers you sent out?"

"Call the soldiers who escorted the people out of the city!" Qu Tuye ordered with a cold face.

This matter must be thoroughly investigated, if it is not true, it must be a ghost in the city, trying to confuse the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

After some time, until everyone got impatient, a general reported to Qu Tuye: "Those twenty soldiers have not returned. ”

"You must have absconded in fear of crime!" Someone among the people shouted.

"It's also possible that it's been hidden by the golden house." Outside the horseman, he said in a weird manner.

Qu Tuye's face was dark and long, and he scolded coldly: "Bastard! How could it not come back? ”

"My subordinates don't know...... It is also possible that the attack on the camp failed that night and he died in battle. ”
