Fu Yuanxian stretched his neck to look over there, but saw that the officers and soldiers in front of him had receded like the tide at low tide. Behind these officers and soldiers, the neatly clad "thief army" is constantly chasing and killing. The wails of the officers and soldiers who were stabbed by spears, "Abandon the soldiers and kneel on the side of the road and do not kill!" The shouts continued to reach Fu Yuanxian's ears.

Fu Yuanxian's face was pale, and he sat on the horse and staggered. Seeing that the momentum was not good and the situation was irreparable, his personal soldiers reached out and grabbed Fu Yuanxian's horse halter and said, "My lord, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood." Hurry back! After speaking, he didn't wait for Fu Yuanxian to say anything, so he pulled his horse hitch and retreated to the back.

Since Fu Yuanxian has retired, Hu Dawei and Li Guoqi will naturally not be stupid to stand in front. The group followed Fu Yuanxian and retreated. Tian Xiucheng chased all the way and captured more than 1,000 officers and soldiers. However, this also delayed some time, and the speed of his pursuit was slowed down a lot. However, Tian Xiucheng was not too worried about this, because behind these officers and soldiers were the pursuers led by Huang Zide himself, where could they flee to?

Just as Tian Xiucheng estimated, Fu Yuanxian had just exited the mound with the remnants of the army, when he saw dust rising high on the road to the east. Hu Dawei squinted at the dust and exclaimed, "Not good!" ”

"But the thieves are chasing you?" Fu Yuanxian calmed down at this time.

"Lord Governor, look at this smoke, it should be cavalry, and there are quite a few of them. There should be at least two or three thousand, otherwise it wouldn't be such smoke and dust! Hu Dawei hurriedly replied.

"General Soldier Hu, the cavalry under you and General Soldier Li may be able to beat the cavalry of the thief army?" Fu Yuanxian asked again.

"I and General Li together are less than 1,500 people, much less than them, and since yesterday, the war horses have not eaten well or rested well, people are sleepy and tired, how can they beat them! Governor, we need to run! ”

Fu Yuanxian rolled his eyes and asked, "Since we are sleepy and lacking, how can we outrun the thief army?" Chased and cut by them all the way, how many can you run out? ”

"It is true that running is a life of nine deaths, but there is still a way to live; If you don't run, you'll die! My lord! Li Guoqi also hurried over to help.

"You two want to run, why don't you run by yourself." Fu Yuanxian said resolutely, "This official doesn't run!" This official is here to suppress the thief, not to let the thief chase after him! ”

"Adult ......"

"Besides, if I run after you, none of us will be able to escape." Fu Yuanxian said again, "If I don't run, the two generals, as well as these strong men around the two, still have the possibility of surviving." I only hope that the two generals will escape this time and continue to serve the court, even if they are worthy of the old man. ”

"My lord......" Li Guoqi still wanted to persuade him. However, Fu Yuanxian shook his head and said:

"Don't talk about the two generals, it's better to go quickly. If you want to say that this defeat is also caused by the old man's danger and the rapid advance of light troops, the old man should also die. Besides, if the country has been raising soldiers for 300 years, how can there be no righteous people who have died in battle? It's just that the two generals want to run, and they can't use weapons or anything, so they leave some use for the old man. ”

After saying this, Fu Yuanxian looked in all directions again, and saw a mound about thirty zhang high over there, which was still relatively flat, so he said to the people around him: "Follow the old man and go up that mountain!" ”

Li Guoqi and Hu Dawei left a thousand knives for Fu Yuanxian, and Fu Yuanxian took the remaining more than 1,000 infantry up the mountain, and had his banner erected on it to attract the "thief army". Li Guoqi and Hu Dawei hurriedly turned to the south and fled.

The two had just run for less than a quarter of an hour, and Liu Jiexuan had already rushed over with a thousand cavalry. As soon as he saw Tian Xiucheng, he said, "Brother Xiucheng, you give me all the infantry." I will give you all the cavalry, plus your five hundred, and you will take them to chase those officers and cavalry, and I will surround the guys on this mountain first. ”

Tian Xiucheng nodded, and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to catch up." ”

Liu Jiexuan frowned, but didn't say anything. Tian Xiucheng handed over all the infantry to Liu Jiexuan, and with 1,500 cavalry, he chased in the direction where Li Guoqi and Hu Dawei had fled.

Liu Jiexuan commanded the soldiers to surround Fu Yuanxian, but did not attack immediately, but found a few soldiers with loud voices and asked them to shout towards the mountain and call the officers and soldiers on the mountain to surrender.

"Hugh wants to listen to the nonsense of the rogue! The imperial army is on the left, and as long as it holds for a day or two, there will be rescuers. If you surrender to the thief, you will die in the future, and you will also be a thief, but you will have the face to see your ancestors? Besides, everyone is eating the emperor's food, and now they are surrendering to the thieves, are they worthy of the emperor and conscience? Fu Yuanxian on the mountain also let his soldiers shout.

When Liu Jiexuan heard this, he laughed and said, "They are not bad, and they still have the strength to shout." ”

Liu Fangming next to him heard this and said, "Master, they are not hungry." Let's surround them, starve them for a day, and I think there are a few more who can scream. ”

"That's right!" Liu Jiexuan laughed and said, "Those dogs in the imperial court are just hungry." Hehe, I heard the Taoist chief say that when Yang Fei, the dog official, chased Zhang Bingzhong, he issued a wanted warrant, and it said 'don't do An'an starvation', I'm bah! They just don't know what it's like to starve! Well, let's surround him and make them hungry again! Look at what they can scream! ”

The revolutionary army surrounded the small mound, cut down trees, and built a fence to prevent the besieged officers and soldiers from escaping at night. Another hour passed, that is, when it was about time for dinner, Huang Zide and Xuan Yi followed with the follow-up infantry.

"How is Lao Liu?" Huang Zide saw Liu Jiexuan from a distance and shouted, "I see that Fu Yuanxian on the mountain is only a thousand people, why haven't you solved them yet?" ”

"Hahahaha, big brother, it's not easy to solve them, one charge can solve them." Liu Jiexuan said disdainfully, "It's just that they are shouting about the emperor's grace or something, Liu Fangming said, it's all hunger!" I thought it was right, so I planned to surround them here and starve for a good time. The officials in the court of the dog day were not hungry properly. Well, big brother, if we catch the big officials of the court in the future, let's not cut off people's heads, just find a cage and put them in it and slowly starve them to death, that is fair retribution! The Present World! ”

"Lao Liu, you are not young anymore, you are still so childish!" Huang Zide couldn't help but laugh. But now, this battle is no longer likely to be overturned, and Lao Liu is now going to make waves with the wind, so let him wave it.

However, in Xuan Yi's eyes, as soon as Liu Jiexuan's words came out, he immediately saw some changes:

A stream of dark red clouds, generated from the void, all converged on the top of Liu Jiexuan's head, and those black-red clouds slowly condensed together, turning into a group of black-red tiger shapes, gathering on the top of Liu Jiexuan's head to make various postures of roaring and pounce.

"This is ......," Xuan Yi's eyes widened.

"It's a fox!" Huang Tian's voice sounded in Xuan Yi's ears.

"Raccoon? How can there be a raccoon? How can a raccoon be black-red? Xuan Yi asked in his heart.

According to ancient legends, the nine sons of the ancestral dragon, "Raccoon" is the seventh son. He is fierce and upright, hates the wicked the most, and always feeds on the wicked. Therefore, in ancient times, it was used as a symbol of punishment.

"What is dragon energy?" Huang Tian didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

There have also been some studies on this issue, and they believe that dragon qi seems to be a kind of convergence of human luck. So Xuan Yi replied in his heart: "Dragon Qi is the convergence of human luck. ”

"Well, that's not bad." Huang Tian's tone was quite appreciative, but he immediately added, "But the answer is still inaccurate, just like when I asked you what the Yellow River is, you answered that the Yellow River is a river." Wrong, right? That's right. But there are so many rivers in the world, which one is the Yellow River? What is Dragon Qi? Dragon energy is the real dragon. There are all kinds of dragons in this world, and even a well can have a well dragon king, but these dragons, from the East China Sea to the well, are actually just horned worms and scaly loaches. What is a real dragon? The true dragon is the organized person, the country. The dragon gives birth to nine sons, there are courtesies, there are killing, there are snooping, there is propaganda, there is stubbornness, and there is growth...... The so-called nine sons are nothing more than the division of state functions. Now Liu Jiexuan's luck in the form of a fierce spirit has appeared, but it is also a part of the dragon qi condensation of Huang Zide Group. ”

"But why is it black-red? The raccoon should be cyan, right? Xuan Yi asked again.

"If the fox is cyan, then it corresponds to the dragon qi masterpiece. Now that your shelves are not all set up, how can there be a cyan stalk? Huang Tian replied angrily, "Even the appearance of the raccoon form is a bit early. The loss of dragon qi in the imperial court has not reached such a point. Hehe, most of them have their handiwork in it, just like burning a fire, not adding firewood to it, just blowing hard with a blowtorch, blowing the fire bigger, and it is not far from extinguishing. But this color is really interesting. Black and red are the colors of disobedience. Where does this rebellion come from? If the punishment of the court is not successful, all the people in the world will naturally have resentment, and this resentment is a source, but ...... Do the people have only resentment against the court, but not against them? Hehe, a few days ago, I heard those refugees singing, saying, 'That man, you are old, deaf and blind, you can't see people and can't hear words: those who kill people and set fires enjoy glory, and those who eat vegetarian and chant sutras are hungry and killed!' That's what a master, you're old, you can't do that, you're collapsing! 'Hehe, they play with fire like this, aren't they afraid to burn themselves?' ”

This is the song sung by the victims when they are desperate, "that", "what" is clearly in the mouths of the victims is "God", that is, the Emperor of Heaven. Now Huang Tian uses these two words instead, in order to reduce the possibility of being discovered by the Emperor as much as possible.

"What is a raccoon? Is it a punishment? No, punishment is only possible after it is fully formed, but what is the root of punishment? It's retribution! 'In the house of goodness, there will be afterglow; This is the retribution that all the people in the world need, those who do good deeds should live a long life and live a happy life, and those who do bad things should suffer everywhere, which is also the retribution that all the people in the world need. But when 'those who kill people and set fires enjoy glory, and those who eat vegetarian and chant sutras starve and kill', where is the retribution? Is the obsolete retribution still retribution? Ever since that person borrowed the 'afterlife' or something from the god of Tianzhu, he wantonly used this to distort retribution, isn't there no retribution? Hehe, this black and red fox is the retribution of the world that all the people in the world want! Because of this, as soon as General Liu said it, heaven and earth naturally responded, but this was difficult for him to control. Well, little Taoist, you have to be close to General Liu, his luck can be used many times, especially when you really face them. ”

Xuan Yi nodded secretly, taking this warning to heart. He knew what Huang Tian meant, it was a punishment, a retribution, and a retribution in this world, and its power was also a threat to Heavenly Court, especially Heavenly Court, which wanted to harm all the people to achieve its own selfishness. Liu Jiexuan can't use it autonomously, but Xuan Yi has a method to borrow it, and when necessary, he can use it suddenly, and he can give Heavenly Court a heavy blow. If it is used well, it is even enough to make the righteous gods of the heavenly court fall!

"Oh, Dao Chief, do you think what my old Liu said makes sense?" Xuan Yi was thinking so, but Liu Jiexuan yelled at him.

"What General Liu said naturally makes sense." Xuan Yi said with a smile, "If good and evil are not rewarded, there will be selfishness." Didn't the marshal raise troops just to give them a retribution? ”

After saying this, he looked at the small mound again, and then said: "Marshal, when I saw the mountain where Fu Yuanxian was entrenched, I suddenly remembered a passage in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". ”

Huang Zide laughed when he heard this: "The Taoist chief said that Ma Tan went up the mountain, right?" Hehe, this dirt mountain has no water source, but it is very similar to the mountain in the street pavilion. Fu Yuanxian led people on such a mountain, and it won't be long before his people can't hold on. ”

"Where will it take for a long time?" Xuan Yi also smiled, "It's time to start dinner soon, I guess they're hungry too." We might as well ......"

"We might as well make the good food well. Eat in front of them, and then shout at them: 'Brother on the other side, come and eat and drink!' I don't believe that Fu Yuanxian can still restrain the soldiers. Liu Jiexuan said with a smile, "When those officers and soldiers have surrendered, we will go and catch that Fu Yuanxian, and then lock him up and starve to death!" ”

"Fu Yuanxian shouldn't let us be captured alive." Huang Zide shook his head, "But if we can really capture him alive, then let you starve him to death." ”

……

Curling smoke rose slowly from a place no more than a hundred paces away from the positions of the officers and soldiers, mixed with the smell of fireworks, rice and steamed buns, and drifted towards the officers and soldiers along with the noon wind.

"It smells so good!" An officer couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"I'm so hungry!" Another soldier also sighed.

More soldiers stood up, craned their necks, and looked over there.

A soldier of the "thief army" held a large steamed bun in one hand and a kettle in the other, and shouted to the officers and soldiers on the mountain: "Brothers of the officers and soldiers on the mountain, come here!" Come and have white rice, big white flour steamed buns to eat! Brothers of the officers and soldiers on the mountain, come here! ”

After the "thief army" soldier finished shouting this, he stuffed the big white-faced steamed bun in his hand into his mouth and bit it hard. The officers and soldiers watching on the mountain couldn't help but move their Adam's apples. The "thief army" chewed twice, swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth, and then raised the kettle and drank several sips of water. The officers and soldiers on the mountain also swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

The "thief army" then shouted again: "Brothers of the officers and soldiers on the mountain, come here, come and have rice to eat, and big white steamed buns to eat!" ”

At this time, such shouts were heard from several other directions, and the officers and soldiers on the mountain also stirred. At this time, someone on the mountain shouted: "Brothers, you can't listen to the thief!" How can we be thieves if we are innocent people? And we are eating the food of the imperial court, how can we be thieves? ”

The "thief army" at the bottom of the mountain heard this, and laughed and said, "Eating the food of the imperial court? The emperor of the imperial court can conjure up food and pay himself? Isn't that grain, all that silver, scavenged from our people! The rice of the imperial court, that is the rice of our common people! Besides, did the court really give you a full meal? It's not that our family hasn't been a soldier, when did the imperial court's food pay be sufficient? Aren't all the food and clothing we eat and wear from our own honest farming? If we want to say that we are worthy of the imperial court, we are already worthy of it now! Come here, brothers! For the sake of that shit court, is it really worth dying for it? Come here, brothers! ”

In the midst of such shouting, suddenly a few people from the mountain came running over, and the mountain was also in chaos, and it seemed that more people wanted to run down. Fu Yuanxian's pro-soldiers tried to stop it, but where could they stop it? For fear of causing a mutiny, they didn't dare to actually kill those soldiers. As a result, more and more soldiers ran down. But in the time of a stick of incense, one or two hundred people ran over.

An officer ran over, handed the knife in his hand to the soldier of the revolutionary army with one hand, and took a snow-white steamed bun from the hand of the revolutionary soldier with the other, and then couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth.

"Brother, slow down, don't choke!" A revolutionary soldier handed him another kettle.

"Thank you...... Thank you...... Brother......" The officer tried to swallow the steamed bun in his mouth and replied vaguely.

After eating the steamed bun and drinking some water, a person who looked like a captain came over and said to the officer, "Brother, have you eaten?" ”

"Eaten. This lord, what's the use of a villain? The officer hurriedly said.

Seeing that the officer and army were very good, the captain said: "Simple, now that you are full, can you just watch those brothers on the mountain continue to starve?" Now that he has the strength, he went to help and shouted twice, if he can save one more brother, he will save one more brother, right? As mentioned above, before sunset, let's kill it. This brother, you don't know what the situation is on the mountain now, if we really kill it, even those people on the mountain can't stop it no matter what. When the time comes, the sword will have no eyes, and they are afraid that they will all be dead. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter. Brother, go outside and shout a few times, and say that you are from the head of the camp, what is your name, and that you have food and drink here, and if you don't want to follow us, you can go home by yourself. If we can call down a few people, we will kill a few fewer people. Isn't that a good thing? ”

The officer and soldier heard this, and hurriedly said, "What this master said is true." The villain will call. ”

After speaking, he walked outside the wooden fence and shouted towards the mountain: "Brothers on the mountain, I am Zhang Lao Wu of the Mengzi Battalion, and many brothers know it. I'm here now. The rebel brothers are kind to me, some eat, some drink, don't kill us! And the brothers over there said that if they don't want to follow them, just surrender their weapons and go back to their hometowns on their own! Come down, brothers! Before sunset, the rebels are about to attack, how can we resist it? At that time, it will be too late to regret it, brothers, come down, we have fought for the court for so long, and we are worthy of the court! ”

With Zhang Laowu's shouting, other shouts continued to be heard in other directions: "Brother on the mountain, I am He Erlang of the Yongzi Battalion, brothers, come down, there is food and drink...... We are worthy of the imperial court's salary! ”

Similar voices rang out one after another, and the more order on the mountain became unmaintainable. A large number of officers and soldiers ran down the mountain like a tide. However, after a while, Fu Yuanxian was left with only seven or eight of his personal guards. These guards were still the people who followed him when he quelled the rebellion of Yungui Tusi, and they were naturally extremely loyal to him.

Fu Yuanxian saw it, sighed and said, "That's it, that's it." Then he turned his back to the guards and said, "When I die, you will also descend down the mountain, and don't make any more senseless resistance." ”

"Your Excellency!" A personal guard knelt down, "Your Excellency, you can't, I'm going to risk my life, and I want to protect your adult to fight your way out of the encirclement." ”

"Deus Ex?" Fu Yuanxian smiled, "Ah Da, I know your loyalty, but if I can really break out of the encirclement, I will lead someone to break through just now." When heaven and earth come together, the heroes are not free. I am deeply favored by the emperor, so I naturally deserve to repay with death, but you, the Jokhang Dynasty has raised soldiers for three hundred years, and you have raised scholars like me, but not you, you are now worthy of the imperial court, so you don't have to die with the old man......"

As he spoke, Fu Yuanxian's voice lowered, his body shook a little, and then he fell.

"Your Excellency!" Ah shouted loudly and hurriedly supported Fu Yuanxian, but saw that there was blood gushing out of Fu Yuanxian's mouth and nose, but he was already out of breath. It turned out that just now, Fu Yuanxian saw the soldiers disperse, knowing that the general trend had gone, and he was no longer able to return to the sky, so he took advantage of the turn to swallow the deadly poison.

"Your Excellency!" Ah Da cried bitterly and put Fu Yuanxian on the ground, then pulled out the waist knife from his waist and wiped it on his neck, blood suddenly spurted out like a spring, his body shook, and he also fell to the ground. Immediately after that, the remaining guards also drew their swords and killed themselves.

"Alas, there are still a lot of loyal ministers and martyrs in Dazhao, but why bother." Seeing this scene on the mountain from afar, Huang Zide shook his head and said this, completely forgetting that he had just said that he would hand over Fu Yuanxian to Liu Jiexuan and let him starve to death.
