Chapter 153: Sacrifice for Righteousness
"Wenhe, are you okay?"
Qin Hua, who was rumored to be seriously injured, did not recuperate in his own mansion, but came to Jia Xu's mansion.
It turned out that after Qin Hua took Xun You to Luoyang, all the affairs of Chang'an were handed over to Jia Xu to deal with, and of course he became the target of assassination.
Fortunately, Jia Xu was very sorry for his life, and he usually took hundreds of guards with him when he left the palace, although he was also assassinated, but in fact he was only slightly injured, but Jia Xu claimed that he was also seriously injured.
Qin Hua was indeed slashed three times, but he was protected by internal armor, in fact, he didn't even have a flesh injury, but only claimed that he was seriously injured, and their purpose was to reveal more hidden disasters.
"Lord, I heard that the siege battle is very fierce now, and if it is delayed any longer, there will be a problem with the terror."
"My Qin army has been trained hard, but it is not comparable to those rabble outside, Wen He is too worried. It's just that there is such a big problem inside the Nighthawk this time, Wen He knows who did it? ”
"This..."
Jia Xu glanced at Qin Hua and stopped talking.
"Wen He, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"According to the information I found, this incident may be related to Dong Bai."
"Dong Bai? That girl was also involved in this? ”
"Well, I heard that Guo Jing promised to make Dong Chou the Marquis of Yi after the matter was completed."
"Huh, just for that?"
Qin Hua's eyes suddenly became fierce.
After learning that there was something wrong with the Nighthawk, Qin Hua no longer believed in the Nighthawk, and he began to use the preparatory plan he had already prepared.
Although Nighthawk is Qin Hua's intelligence agency, Qin Hua can't be completely at ease, so he also has a back hand in Nighthawk, especially after Dong Bai took over.
Among the Nighthawks, there was a group of people who were completely loyal to Qin Hua, and he was called the Night Owl by Qin Hua.
Unlike Nighthawks, Nighthawks do not engage in assassination operations or gather intelligence like Nighthawks, and their job is to oversee Nighthawks.
After the Nighthawk had problems, Qin Hua had completely removed Dong Bai's control, and the Nighthawk members had fully taken over the Nighthawk, and now Qin Hua was waiting for the clean-up Nighthawk to send information, he wanted to know how many families were involved in this event.
Qin Hua can wait so leisurely, but Guo Jing can't wait, Zhang Liao's army is on the way, if they can't take Chang'an City in a short time, they will fall into an extremely disadvantageous situation.
Although Guo Jing has now reached a tacit understanding with Beigong Boyu and has also achieved Han Sui's neutral attitude, even so, he is still unwilling to face Qin Hua's army.
Qin Hua has not been defeated since he started his army, except for suffering losses at the hands of Cao Cao, and he really doesn't know how he should defeat the other party after Qin Hua takes control of the army.
Fortunately, although the heads of these families are not good at fighting, they have money in their hands.
There must be brave men under the so-called heavy reward, although it has been unable to break through the city wall for a long time, but the morale of Guo Jing's corporal has not diminished at all.
Today is about to attack the city again, and Guo Jing came to the front of the battle again and loudly announced the reward.
"Behead a member and reward a thousand dollars."
"The first person to climb the wall will be rewarded with 30,000 yuan. The officer was promoted to the third level. ”
"Those who catch Qin Hua, reward tens of millions of money, seal the marquis, and have to take the county duty."
...
With the completion of Guo Jing's shouting, the morale of the army reached its peak again, and the whole army was once again ready to attack the city.
Looking at the morale of the enemy army under the city, the Qin army in the city seemed to be much sluggish.
The Xuanjia cavalry did not participate in the defense of the city, and now there are less than 5,000 city defense troops left on the city wall.
Although they didn't have much hope for this battle, good training still allowed them to prepare for the defense of the city in an orderly manner.
Just as the war was about to begin, a person suddenly jumped on top of the battlements in the middle of the gate of Chang'an City.
"Everyone, wait."
The man's heart-rending shout actually made the entire battlefield suddenly fall silent.
The people under the city may have wondered more about why the man jumped on the battlements, and the soldiers on the walls were because of his armor.
This person was actually wearing armor with a black background and red edges that only the commander of the Guards could wear.
"Have you ever experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, have you ever experienced the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, have you ever experienced a foreign invasion, have you ever left your homeland because of the war?"
None of them spoke, and they didn't know what the man was trying to say.
But the vast majority of people have experienced what he said.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin has grown up from a thousand masters, and he has overcome all the obstacles for the Han Dynasty, so that there is now peace, and the people can be fed, and there is no need to be displaced, so the master, why do you want to rebel?"
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin loves the people like sons and cares more about the common people than the family, do you really want to rebel for the sake of these families?"
"Don't stop, keep the siege."
Guo Jing knew that something was wrong when he heard it, and hurriedly urged everyone to attack the city, but those soldiers did not move, they wanted to hear what else the man had to say.
"I, Qin Yilu, although I am an old general of Lu Bu, but the King of Qin reuses it, and I, Qin Yilu, am willing to repay with death. Waiting for the great grace of the King of Qin, but the grace will take revenge, are you not afraid of the shame of the world? ”
It turned out that this person was actually Qin Yilu, one of Qin Hua's guard commanders, and he saw that the two of them were gradually losing strength in defending the city recently, so he thought of this trick.
Since Qin Hua refused to accept the crepe clan and reused Qin Yilu, he has always been very grateful in his heart, but Qin Yilu is not good at military affairs, and he is not good at force, so he wants to repay Qin Hua, but he has never had a chance.
"I am Qin Yilu, the commander of the Qin King's guards, today I want to tell you that the King of Qin is the Ming Lord, and we are all willing to follow the King of Qin to the death, if you don't believe it, I am willing to die to show my will."
Without waiting for the people behind him to stop him, Qin Yilu suddenly pulled out his sword and killed himself in front of tens of thousands of soldiers on the city wall.
As Qin Yilu's corpse fell from the city wall, the entire battlefield was silent.
"The King of Qin will win, and the King of Qin will win."
At this time, Qin Yilu had just stood behind him, and suddenly remembered to shout, these were Qin Yilu's subordinates.
As they shouted, the entire city wall began to shout.
"The King of Qin Will Win"
"The King of Qin Will Win"
"The King of Qin Will Win"
...
As the shouts continued to increase, the morale of the guards in the city was also rising, and they were all infected by Qin Yilu's actions.
When the rebel soldiers under the city saw this scene, the morale that was close to the peak just now dropped sharply, and some people had even dropped their weapons in their hands.
These are all people who have been benefited by Qin Huaxin's policies, and Qin Yilu's words reminded them of how they slowly gained a stable family from a homeless person.
Seeing that the morale of the enemy army was rising, but the morale of his own side was greatly reduced, Guo Jing could only withdraw his troops and find a way to boost morale.
