Chapter 263, The Army's Heart Is Shaken?
"Archers. Get ready. β
Seeing that the troops had arrived in the city, Prince Fa hurriedly waved his hand and commanded decisively.
The archers on the city wall took a step forward in unison, bent down and aimed downward, and the soldiers were all stunned, and those who were loyal to Kong Rong's anger only wanted to scold their mothers, and shouted one after another, "Don't let go of the arrows, we are our own people." β
"That's it, I'm Sun Shao's lieutenant general, Lord Wang, we've met."
Sun Shao's previous lieutenant Liu Manjiang explained loudly.
"Oh? It's Vice General Liu, what's going on? Wang Zifa also recognized Liu Manjiang and asked in a deep voice.
Dou Ding glanced at Sixi, and the two approached Liu Manjiang left and right, if Liu Manjiang dared to say a word, Dou Ding and Sixi wanted to kill him.
This surrendering team, throughout the ages, is why Lu Zhuo dared to use them like this, and he was directly sent out as 'his own people' after surrendering less than a day ago.
It seems that Lu Zhuo said good things and shared the reward, and he also ate with everyone, like a wronged boss, he was laughed at behind the back of many soldiers, but it turned out that Lu Zhuo was not stupid.
At this moment, Liu Manjiang didn't know how to answer!
The truth, he was the first to be killed, because many black arrows on the city wall were already aimed at him.
"Say..."
Wang Zifa's voice was stern and full of majesty, Liu Manjiang clenched his fists urgently, wanted to tell the truth, but didn't dare, so he had to reply, "Lord Wang, we were ambushed in Baizhangping, General Sun Shao was killed, Lord Wang Xiu was arrested, we fought desperately to get out of the encirclement, and finally escaped back to Ju County, and I hope that Lord will open the city gate quickly." β
Dou Ding and Si Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them took back all the hands that were on the hilt of the knife.
"Lord...... What do you see? Wang Zifa turned his head to look at Kong Rong with some embarrassment.
Kong Rong sighed, "Since it's your own person, let's let it into the city." β
"But..."Wang Zifa was still a little uneasy.
Kong Rong asked rhetorically, "Do you want to let them die under the swords and guns of the Xuzhou soldiers, do you know that if you ignore them, what will the 30,000 soldiers guarding the county think?" β
"Well, I'll take someone to Kaesong......"
Kong Rong's worries are not unreasonable, but he can't just let people in so defenselessly, Wang Zifa brought five thousand elite soldiers to open the city in person, Lu Zhuo had ordered before, and he didn't ask these soldiers to grab the city gate immediately.
Instead, let them wait patiently for the opportunity, seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Zifa led five thousand elite soldiers to guard the city gate, Dou Ding and others did not dare to make a move, Liu Manjiang and these people were also relieved, but Wang Zifa ordered someone to control them alone.
"Lord Wang, you are..."Liu Manjiang was very dissatisfied, and hurriedly argued, "We are our own people, why do you treat us like this?" β
Wang Zifa ignored him, and commanded in a cold voice, "Seize their ordnance and escort them to the back." β
Originally, Liu Manjiang wanted to find an opportunity to secretly tell Kong Rong about Lu Zhuo's conspiracy after entering the city, but now seeing that Wang Zifa was going to disarm them all and put them in custody, Liu Manjiang was suddenly angry, and all the words he wanted to say were swallowed back alive.
The entire four thousand people were enraged, and the soldiers who were originally loyal to Kong Rong were half cold.
"Jingle Bell..."
When someone was disarming the surrendered troops, he moved a little bigger, and the bounty on Douding's body fell to the ground.
"This isβ" Wang Zifa hurriedly walked over.
"Where did the money come from?" Wang Zifa asked with an angry glare.
Liu Manjiang and the others were all nervous, and everyone had a reward on their bodies, and if they were discovered, they couldn't explain jumping into the Yellow River.
Everyone looked nervously at Douding.
"Robbed."
There was never a reward in the team, and Douding had to say that he robbed the people.
"Hmph, what a bastard, you dare to rob the money of the people of Li without permission, come on, pull it out and beat fifty military sticks."
However, even if Douding was just a teenager, he clenched his teeth, gritted his teeth and didn't say anything, and didn't say a word from beginning to end.
At first, Liu Manjiang was really worried that he would suffer but tell the truth, in that case, I was afraid that no one would be able to think about it.
Hearing that Lu Zhuo had surrounded the city, and just after beating Douding, Wang Zifa had to hurriedly lead people back to the city wall.
"Hey..."
Retracting his gaze helplessly, Chen Deng shook his head in disappointment, and turned his head to look at Lu Zhuo on horseback, "Lord, I'm afraid those people can't count on it." β
Lu Zhuo shook his head and smiled, "Not really, pass the order, let Tai Shici and Guan Hai quickly bring people to join us, Xixian, I am determined to win." β
"No...'
Zhuge Jin just agreed, and was about to turn around to give the order, but in front of all the soldiers, he fell to the ground in embarrassment.
The crowd laughed, Lu Zhuo didn't expect him to fall off the horse suddenly, after a closer look, Zhuge Jin was frightened, his face was pale, his legs were shaking, and he was not used to this tense and suffocating atmosphere on the battlefield.
"Ziyu, it's us who are besieging the city, if you want to say you're afraid, it should be Kong Rong Lao'er, right?"
Lu Zhuo shook his head and hurriedly asked people to help Zhuge Jin up.
Zhuge Jinzhen's face turned red, like a deserter, limping with a lot of effort before he got back on the horse.
Although the contact time is not too long, Lu Zhuo likes Zhuge Jin in his heart, he is the most real, and similarly, he is also the most hypocritical.
In front of people, he is the same on the outside, the most real, frank and open, afraid is afraid, even if he is stupid, it is unbearable to blame, he will knock over the teaglass, he will mess things up, he will be frightened, no, he just fell off the horse, but it is not offensive at all.
Fear is fear, why do you need to disguise?
Mess things up, at least he did his best!
Saying that he is hypocritical, this is not to belittle Zhuge Jin, by Lu Zhuo's side, he is always so respectful and obedient, some people say that Zhuge Jin is simply a grandmaster who is a sycophant, Lu Zhuo feels that this sentence is absolutely appropriate.
Frankly speaking, people have seven emotions and six desires, which one has no selfishness, like Wei Zheng in the Tang Dynasty, who speaks out and advises at every turn, there are a few people who will really like it.
Once, twice, maybe you can listen to it, every time it's like this, it takes a lot of mind and bearing.
Whether you are happy or unhappy, you always go against you, such a subordinate, Lu Zhuo can't bear it, he is also a layman.
At least, Zhuge Jin never disagrees with Lu Zhuo, and besides, he is not a villain, others have impure motives for slapping horses and whiskers, and he just doesn't want to make Lu Zhuo angry, and he has no other purpose.
Zhuge Jin was embarrassed in front of people, he didn't take it to heart at all, although he was ashamed, but this matter, like being blown away by the wind, will soon be forgotten.
Lu Zhuo besieged Xixian and did not attack the city immediately, which also made Kong Rong breathe a sigh of relief.
As soon as the camp was set up, a soldier came to report to Lu Zhuo, "Enlighten the lord, there are Beihai celebrities outside the camp to ask to see!" β
