When everyone was in a daze, a soldier carried a wooden cage and walked to the city gate, first looked back, measured the direction, and then patted an arrow stack and asked: "Lord Liu, the head is hanging here!" ”

Liu Xuan came back to his senses and looked at the soldier's eyes, as if he was looking at a monster.

Feng Yi shivered and shouted, "I can't help it!" As he spoke, he hurried forward and said loudly: "Once the news of Shesang's killing is known to the barbarians, the barbarians will definitely fight back!" ”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, Lord Feng, our lord has already calculated, now there are 20,000 defenders in the county town, and the barbarian army is full of calculations, it is just over 10,000, attacking 20,000 with 10,000, that is tantamount to asking for death, if the barbarian army is not afraid of death, let them come and attack it!" ”

Hearing the words of the soldiers, Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu almost laughed out loud and smiled bitterly.

How stupid does it have to be for someone to say such ignorant things? And 20,000 defenders? It's a joke! The 20,000 people who volunteered to join the defenders were all here to eat, and Wang Xun even used them as soldiers?

Feng Yi held his forehead and was silent for a moment, he forced the emotions in his heart, and said in a calm tone: "This brother, now that it is dark, it is meaningless to hang out the head of Xiesang!" ”

"But our adults have already explained, we must hang the heads of Shesang tonight, and wait for tomorrow dawn, so that the spies of the barbarian army can find out as soon as possible!"

Scold! Feng Yi laughed, looked up to the sky and sighed, shook his head, and didn't know what to say anymore.

Liu Xiu pulled Liu Xiu, walked out to the side, and whispered: "Ah Xiu, I think the county town will definitely not be able to hold it this time, you and my brother, we have to quickly find an opportunity to escape from this place of right and wrong!" ”

Liu Xiu was silent, and after a while, he muttered, "Escape? Big brother, where can we run away? ”

If you can run the monk can't run the temple, don't think that they will be fine if they run out of Hanzhong City, and they will be held accountable in the future, and the two of them and their families will not be able to eat and walk around.

Liu Xuan smiled bitterly: "But in the current situation, we don't escape, and there is only a dead end if we stay." ”

Liu Xiu frowned, looked at the people gathered in the city, and said quietly: "The county town has not yet reached the point where no one is available, but the people lack the courage to fight with the barbarians, and they are really forced to a dead end, I think, they will fight to the death with the barbarians!" ”

Liu Xiu followed Liu Xiu's line of sight and looked at the people in the city, he really didn't dare to have much hope for them.

But Ah Xiu is right, they can't run at all, one is that it will affect their families, and the other is that they will leave 100,000 people in the city and escape alone, and they can't pass the level of their conscience.

The four soldiers hung the wooden cage directly above the north city gate, and then they came to Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu, and said with a smile: "Two Lord Liu, please follow the younger one to the Taishou Mansion for a banquet!" ”

Liu Xiu didn't speak, and Liu Xiu nodded in response. Then he walked over to Feng Yi and said, "Brother Gongsun, go to the Taishou Mansion for a banquet tonight, you can't postpone it any longer!" ”

Feng Yi shook his head and said, "I still won't go." He was afraid that after he saw Wang Xun, he couldn't help but point at his nose and scold.

Liu Xuan Zhengse said: "Brother Gongsun, even if you don't want to eat this meal in Taishoufu, you have to think about it, there are still 20,000 mouths waiting to eat!" ”

Feng Yi's heart was shocked, and he subconsciously looked at the strong men under the city. Most of the people were already sitting on the ground, all with their heads tilted up, all looking at the city, as if they were waiting for them to put their meal!

He sighed secretly, raised his chin to Liu Xuan, and said weakly: "Let's go!" ”

Liu Xuan, Liu Xiu, and Feng Yi followed the four officers and soldiers and went to the Taishou Mansion together.

Like last time, tonight's Taishou Mansion is also a big feast, and the wine and food are sumptuous and luxurious, which is staggering.

Looking at the food at the banquet and thinking about the hungry people in the city, Feng Yi slowly put his hands under the table and clenched them into fists.

Wang Xun didn't pay attention to Feng Yi at all, didn't even look at him, and only talked to the two brothers Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu.

After some greetings, Liu Xuan took the initiative to propose that the Taishou Mansion could provide military rations to the soldiers and civilians defending the city.

He thought that he would have to spend a lot of money to get food from Wang Xun, but he didn't expect that as soon as he started talking, Wang Xun agreed, and promised Liu Xuan that he would give the defenders 500 stone of grain.

One stone at that time was one hundred and twenty pounds compared to the present one. 500 stone is 60,000 catties of grain. If 20,000 or so people save a little food, they can barely last three or four days. You don't have to think about being full, anyway, it can make people starve to death.

For more than 20,000 people, 500 stone grain is really not much, but Wang Xun can be so generous, which has made Liu Xun very surprised, he stood up, gave Wang Xun a deep salute, and said: "Lord Wang's 500 stone grain has solved the urgent need of the defenders!" ”

Wang Xun smiled on his back, waved his hand to Liu Xuan, and motioned for him to sit down. He said: "I think that tomorrow the barbarian army will be able to get the news that Shetsang was killed, no accident, Shetu will definitely lead the barbarian army to attack the county town again, Bosheng, Uncle Wen, the safety of the county town depends on you two brothers!" ”

If you want to let the horses run, you can't stop the horses from grazing.

Can the barbarian army that invade again be annihilated in one fell swoop, Wang Xun can count on 20,000 strong men, of course, let them eat and drink enough, so that they can work for his career.

Liu Xun can understand more or less what Wang Xun is thinking, but no matter what, the problem of military rations has finally been solved temporarily, and he finally has a little bit of confidence in commanding the defenders of the 20,000 rabble.

In the next banquet, the atmosphere was very relaxed, most of them were Wang Xun talking, degrading the barbarian army to worthless, and holding the two brothers Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu to the sky.

After the banquet was dismissed, seeing that Liu Xiu and Liu Xiu's clothes were dirty and tattered, he also deliberately asked people to buy a dress for each of them, not to mention how gorgeous it was, but at least it was a new set of clothes, which was much better than what the two of them were wearing now.

When sending the two of them out of the house, Wang Xun did not forget to promise that as long as Liu Xuan could annihilate the invading barbarian army, after the great success was completed, he would definitely go to the court and recommend Liu Xuan as the governor of Hanzhong County.

Liu Xuan showed a flattered look in front of Wang Xun, and thanked him again and again, but after leaving the Taishou Mansion, on the way back to the north of the city, Liu Xuan scoffed at Wang Xun's promise.

Feng Yi asked puzzledly, "Brother Bo Sheng thinks that Lord Wang will not fulfill his promise?" ”

The corners of Liu Xuan's mouth lifted and said, "Whether he will fulfill his promise or not, I will not stay in Hanzhong." ”

Feng Yi was stunned and looked at him in surprise.

Liu Xuan smiled indifferently and asked, "Brother Gongsun, do you think that with today's current situation, the Xinmang Imperial Court can last for a few years?" ”

When Feng heard this, his face changed suddenly. Liu Xiu cleared his throat and whispered, "Big brother, you drank too much wine." ”

Although Liu Xiu also admired Feng Yi's talent and quality, after all, they and Feng Yi had just met, and the relationship between them was far from the point where they had nothing to talk about.

The eldest brother has a heart-to-heart for him, but who dares to guarantee that he will not pass on the words of the eldest brother.

Liu Xiu's personality is very bold, and he also loves to make friends, after these days of fighting side by side, he has long regarded Feng Yi as a brother who has had a lifelong friendship with him, but after Liu Xiu's reminder, he also realized that he said something that should not be said in front of Feng Yi, he laughed, waved his hand and said: "I seem to have drunk too much, Brother Gongsun, I just said it unintentionally just now, don't take it seriously!" ”

is the so-called drunken spit out the truth, Feng Yi doesn't think that what Liu Xuan just said was drunk.

He subconsciously looked at Liu Xiu, compared with Liu Xiu, he felt that Liu Xiu was more like a person who could achieve great things, cautious, inconspicuous, but very urban.

And Liu Xiu's character is very good, but everyone who has come into contact with him is full of praise for his conduct.

He snorted on his lips and understated this remark, but in his heart, he could firmly remember Liu Xuan's words.

The next day, dawn.

Sure enough, the news of Shetsan's killing reached the barbarian army as soon as possible.

According to the agreement with Liu Xiu, the barbarian army led by Xie Tu really retreated for a hundred miles, and they are currently stationed in Lanzhen, a hundred miles south of the county seat.

The town of Lan is located near the Lan River, a tributary of the Han River. There are more than 1,000 people in Lanzhen, which is a very large town in Hanzhong, but with the arrival of the barbarian army, the people of the whole town have suffered.

Not only was the huge town sacked, but it was also burned to the ground by a fire set by the barbarians, and the people of the town became prisoners of the barbarians.

In the camp of the barbarians, the tent of the Chinese army.

When Shetu heard that the spies were coming, Shetsan's head was now hanging on the head of Hanzhong City. He froze for a moment without reacting. Because in his opinion, this news is too unbelievable.

The Han people seized the opportunity, it can be said that they have taken the lead, at least they can be invincible, unless the Han people's brains are in the water, they will kill Xiesang!

He took a deep breath, stared coldly at the spy who reported the news, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know that it is a capital crime to lie about the military situation and disturb the morale of the army?" ”

The spy knelt on the ground with a puff and said loudly: "The villain can swear to the sky, and what the villain says is true......

Rise! Xie Tu stood up suddenly, stared at the spy with bright eyes, and asked word by word, "Did the Han really kill the patriarch?" ”

"Yes, general, the head of the patriarch, the villain saw it with his own eyes!"

The barbarian generals standing on both sides of the tent all widened their eyes, exploded their livers and lungs, and their fists rattled.

The Han people deceived people too much, and they even killed the patriarch without saying anything, such a great shame and humiliation, the Xie people have never suffered it!

People's eyes fell on Xie Tu, and when he gave an order, he immediately led a large army and returned to Hanzhong City.

Shetu stood there without speaking for a long time. It was only after he wasted the power of Niu Jiu'er Tiger that he forcibly suppressed the urge to laugh in his body.

He's dead! It's long overdue, and he's finally dead! And it died at the hands of the Han people! This is simply God's greatest favor for himself!

Thinking of this, Xie Tu sniffed, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he knelt on the ground with a pop, facing the direction of Hanzhong City, bowed to the ground, and cried loudly.
