Chapter 70: Hypocrisy and Shamelessness
In the evening, Xu Xian, the commander of Runan, finally led the army. When Han Yi heard www.biquge.info the news, he greeted him and told Xu Xian about the inexplicable attitude of Zhu Jun and others, the landfill war today, and the decision to attack the city tomorrow and tomorrow.
Xu Xian hesitated for a while after hearing this, and said: "Our army is a guest army, and the southern army is the main army. The thieves in Nanyang are trapped and exhausted, and the city is just around the corner. If our army is anti-guest, will it not be jealous? If you offend the people of the Southern Army, you are only afraid that something will be wrong in the future. ”
Han Yisi seemed to have an understanding of today's events, so he retired for the time being. At night, Bao Hong came again, and Han Yi welcomed him into to inquire about today's affairs, and whether there was anything to say about it.
Bao Hong said with a smile: "After the death of the two leaders of Nanyang Yellow Turban, Zhang Mancheng and Zhao Hong, the arrogance has been greatly weakened, and there is a shortage of food and grass in Wancheng, and the thief is in front of him. However, everyone in our southern army is unwilling to contribute, and Xu Mengyu and Qin Chuqi also have other ideas, and the yang is against the yin. Zhu Gongwei can't, so he summoned you Runan County soldiers. ”
"But since your army came, Zhu Gongwei let you lead the army first, but he committed the taboo of snatching peaches. Zhu Gongwei was afraid that he would completely offend the generals of our Southern Army, so he had to use the rumors last night to force you to give up. It's just that there was a futile incident in March last time, and Zhu Gongwei was afraid that the old matter would be brought up again, which would once again arouse the accountability of the court, so he desperately hoped that the attack on your troops would succeed. He is now like this, and he is very conflicted in his heart. ”
Han Yi asked puzzledly: "The contradiction between Zhu Gongwei and you is just because the reward is too thin, doesn't he know?" ”
Bao Hong laughed shamefully: "How could he not know, he just didn't do it." ”
Han Yi asked, "Is Zhu Gongwei really so upright?" Knowing the cause and not willing to change? ”
Bao Hong scolded angrily: "Fart, he's just acting coy." He has always been a hypocrite and has a great reputation, and he would never do anything that would go against his reputation. Although the reward is small, the interception and seizure will be large, but it will make the people of Nanyang dislike, and it will also damage his reputation for honesty and integrity. A person like him, even if it is a major national event, as long as it affects his reputation, no matter how beneficial to the country, will never do it. So, in my opinion, he's just a thief. ”
Famous thieves? It's the first time I've heard of Zhu Wei's title. However, it is better not to say that it is short. Han Yi asked: "I don't know who spread the rumors about the Minqiang camp last night, and they slandered me for no reason, which really annoyed me." ”
Bao Hong drank a glass of wine and said, "Hehe, it's not that someone doesn't want you to snatch peaches, so they use it as a next resort. ”
Han Yi asked tentatively, "Does Brother Bao know who did it?" ”
Bao Hong shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, I asked several other captains, and it has nothing to do with them anyway." ”
"Oh?" Han Yi asked, "Aren't you several captains of the Southern Army afraid that I will break through Wancheng alone and lead the great feats?" ”
Bao Hong laughed and said: "What's there to be afraid of, anyway, we don't have a big reward for our efforts, it's better for you to break it alone, as long as you give each of their captains a thousand gold as a gift, you can capture it." ”
Han Yi couldn't help but be stunned, this was really a bastard thing. After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Han Yi pretended to sigh and said: "Recently, my younger brother's concubine's family was killed for no reason, and there were twelve households when they were killed. ”
Bao Hong's face remained unchanged, and he just asked suspiciously, "Oh? Do you have any clues? ”
Han Yi shook his head and said, "There are a total of nine assassins, one of them claims to be avenging the Ye clan in Nanyang, and the arrows he used are very sophisticated, some people say that they brought them from Luoyang City. Later, I was captured by Zhao Fujun in Runan, saying that it was Yuan Benchu in Ruyang who wrote a letter to him to persecute me. But I still have some affection in front of Zhao Fujun, so I can't really deal with me. ”
After Bao Hong took a sip of wine, he thought about it carefully and said: "After I came to Nanyang, I knew that Ye County was broken and the Ye family declined greatly, and now the Ye family is a little promising...... It seems that there is no one else. Not...... Yes, the Ye family has a good son-in-law, surnamed Xu Mingyou, the word is far away, he is a far-reaching man of wisdom and resourcefulness, he has always been very bold and ruthless, and he has been friends with Yuan Benchu since he was a child. Brother might as well send someone to investigate. ”
Han Yi muttered to himself, "Xu Yu Xu Zi is far away......
After Bao Hong said goodbye and left, Han Yi stood silent for a long time, judging from Bao Hong's expression and behavior, it was absolutely impossible for him to send an assassin to summon the tomb. Otherwise, with his status as a dignified captain, he would not need to deal with himself as an assassin. You only need to recruit yourself into the Southern Army, and you can use your old place to behead. It seems that the assassin matter may really have something to do with Xu Ziyuan, the good son-in-law of the Ye family.
Su Gu turned out of the side tent and asked, "Zuojun Sima, I don't know what you have to do with calling me?" ”
Han Yi asked, "Have you heard of the twelve murders in Zhaoling a month ago?" ”
Su Gu nodded and said, "I know, in fact, there was also an assassin who came to assassinate me before, but I inadvertently saw through it and killed him." ”
Han Yi turned to stare at Su Gu and asked, "You have also been assassinated?" Then why didn't you tell me? ”
Su Gu was stunned and said, "Didn't Zuojun Sima find nine murderers and kill them?" I thought that Zuojun Sima knew who the main envoy was. ”
Han Yi's old face was red, but he was thinking too much, fortunately, he couldn't see clearly in the dark night, Han Yi said: "In this way, it is really a killer sent by Xu You, the son-in-law of the Ye family." Have you been in Nanyang, but you don't know how to know Xu Ziyuan? ”
Su Gu shook his head and said, "I have only been in the Ye clan for two years, and I have never seen this Xu You, but I have only heard of it. I only heard people say that Xu Ziyuan's family is poor, but he has been well-read since he was a child, and he is a good learner and has quick wisdom. Later, he was favored by the former head of the Ye family and allowed his eldest daughter Xu Zhi. With the help of the Ye family, his reputation gradually became famous in the state and county. I heard that he is arrogant, has always been very bold, and acts ruthlessly and responsibly. It is said that he will become a high-ranking official of more than 2,000 stone in the future. ”
Han Yi sighed and said: "Originally, the matter of summoning the tomb was in the Ye family, and we did not kill the Ye family, but the Ye family always held a grudge, and there were such outstanding people who always remembered us, and the future ...... It's not a good feeling. ”
Su Gu was silent, and after a long time, Fang asked, "I don't know what Zuojun Sima has to say?" ”
Han Yi was also silent for a long time before he said: "The enmity between us and the Ye family has already been settled, and the Ye family is unwilling to stop here, so we can only take this move." The Ye family killed twelve innocent families in our family, and even you and I almost suffered misfortune, but this revenge must be avenged. I want to send you to Luoyang City first to find out the news of the Ye family and Xu You, this is not against your righteousness, right? ”
Su Gu said with a smile: "The righteousness that is often said is the righteousness of the national court, not the small righteousness of this private grudge. Since the Ye clan wants to kill me, how can I sit back and wait, and counterattack will be inevitable. If Zuojun Sima doesn't come to look for me, I also want to find an opportunity to go to Luoyang to end this matter. ”
Han Yi shouted: "Okay, you can get a hundred gold from me, and go to Luoyang to find out the information first." When the battle in Nanyang is over, I will also go to Luoyang and my party......"
Early in the morning of the second day, after Han Yi and Xu Xian discussed, they thought that Zhu Yun was hesitant and the southern army did not care, so they decided to continue to fill in the mound. Grab the merit, just grab the merit, anyway, you Zhu Yan came to find my Runan soldiers. Even if anyone has a grudge, the first thing is to resent Zhu Wei.
Cheng Qi howled as the cart unloaded the soil, and suddenly several fireballs rolled down from the bamboo house, the fireballs emitted black smoke, and when he heard it, he felt dizzy and tearful. Cheng Qi covered his head and face with his sleeves and shouted, "It's not good, the thief threw a poisonous fireball." Someone immediately dumped dirt from the car on it, instantly extinguishing the fireball.
The closer the mound was to the city, the stronger the bows and arrows shot by the thieves at the head of the city, and the bamboo hut could not be protected for long before it was shot down. Fortunately, with Xu Xian's 7,000 troops and 6,000 people, the construction of bamboo houses and soil continued to be built.
It was only after being within ten paces of the city that the thieves' attacks increased significantly, no longer just arrows, but also oil splashing, fire, wood bumping, smoke and other means, which further aggravated the number of casualties among the Runan soldiers. Of course, shooting crossbow arrows from a bamboo hut on a mound condescendingly caused many casualties among the thieves. So the thieves did the same, and found a lot of doors from the city to resist the fire of crossbow arrows.
This mound of 60 steps and the city wall of more than 100 steps have become the most tragic place for the confrontation between 10,000 Runan soldiers and 100,000 Wancheng thieves. Countless heads were under the mound, and the city was running back and forth, carrying, and transporting. However, the other three walls were in harmony, and there was no confrontation between arrows and arrows. As if these three places were not in the middle of a battlefield, there was something quiet and terrifying.
In the evening, the battle was again coming to an end, and the mound was barely seven paces away from the city, and even a flight from the mound could cross into the city. It's just that night is approaching, and the Runan soldiers are also tired for a day, and the number of dead and wounded soldiers and civilians has reached 700, so they need to temporarily retreat and lick their wounds, and prepare to launch a general attack early tomorrow morning.
Just when both the thieves and we were about to think that the fighting was about to stop, suddenly a loud cheer rang out in the southeast corner, "The city is broken, the city is broken." "The thief and I can't help but look at each other, I don't know what happened?
Xu Xian was stunned and asked, "What?" Han Mingyuan, is there a siege of our army in the southeast corner? ”
Hearing this, Han Yi turned into anger, and immediately slapped his leg and exclaimed in annoyance: "Damn Zhu Yan, he actually played us as monkeys." He asked my Runan army to attack the city from the northwest corner, but he led his elite troops to sneak in from the southeast corner, which was really shameless. ”
Without waiting for Xu Xian to react, Han Yi hurriedly held his shield and raised his knife and shouted: "Brothers, I have waited for two days of hard work, and the casualties have healed thousands, but the Southern Army is shameless and has come to grab merit at this time." We must not let the Yugoslav army gain advantage in vain. Passing on my command, and the strength to follow me, tear down the bamboo hut and attack the city wall. ”
