It didn't take long for Pingyujun Xiong Hu to be carried up to the camp wall by the Wei soldiers, tied with ropes all over his body, and a ball of cloth was stuffed in his mouth.

Seeing this, Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, didn't dare to move even more, he was really afraid that the king of Su of the Wei State opposite would go crazy for a while, and chop up his cousin Pingyujun Xiong Hu alive.

That is Xiong Tuo's cousin who has had a good relationship since childhood, the dignified Xiong clan of Chu State, in the eyes of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, it is not worth it to harm this cousin because of a few captives of Wei State.

Therefore, he was very sensible and did not speak again to stimulate Zhao Hongrun, but just waited quietly, giving the latter enough time to think about it.

At the same time, Zhao Hongrun stood on the south wall of the Wei army's Yanshui camp, closing his eyes and contemplating.

In all fairness, he really reluctantly agreed to the exchange of prisoners.

It's not that he is ruthless, or he has any opinions about Chen Bing and the others in Zhaoling County, he just doesn't want to let Xuancheng Jun Xiong Tuo get his wish.

Obviously, this guy invaded the territory of the Great Wei, captured the cities of the Great Wei, killed the people of the Great Wei, and robbed the wealth of the Great Wei.

This is equivalent to getting to the end, and Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, who should have received retribution, was not affected in the slightest.

What the? The soldiers of the Chu State who were killed?

Will Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, care about the lives of worthless soldiers? Infantry, which is a consumable in the eyes of the nobles of the Chu State, can be formed again by casually pulling a team of people in the fiefdom, and talking about what losses.

Because of this, Zhao Hongrun did not want to release Pingyujun Xiong Hu, and he had already made up his mind to be like Xiong Hu and Xiong Tuo, who took the initiative to invade the territory of Great Wei. He is to catch one and kill another. And the reason why he hasn't killed Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu so far is just because this guy still has use value.

Taking a step back, even if it is to be released, it will have to make the Chu State suffer huge losses.

Of course, this "huge loss" does not mean the so-called ransom or compensation.

However, the problem is that if he is unwilling to release the peaceful monarch Xiong Hu. The civil officials of Zhaoling City on the other side, it is not difficult to guess their fate.

Is it worth sacrificing more than a dozen civil officials who fought bravely to the end of the city for the sake of a peaceful monarch Xiong Hu?

Zhao Hongrun exhaled slowly.

I have to say that he has a good impression of Chen Bing, the former commander of Zhaoling County, and more than a dozen other civil officials in Zhaoling City.

Especially the former.

He saw very clearly that Chen Bing, the county commander of Zhaoling, asked about Yan Ling's situation as soon as he was talking to Pei Zhan, and then said the second sentence. It was a resolute hope that he Zhao Hongrun would reject the proposal of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, to exchange prisoners, and he could be described as a loyal martyr.

Abandoning such a loyal martyr who was loyal to the Great Wei, Zhao Hongrun couldn't do it.

"Agreed? Or refuse?'

These two thoughts kept hovering in Zhao Hongrun's heart, and it was difficult to draw conclusions.

After thinking about the time of tea, Zhao Hongrun opened his eyes and shouted to Chen Bing and others in the distance: "The heroic men of Zhaoling, thank you for your loyalty to the Great Wei. Defend the city until the last moment...... A loyal martyr like you should not be left to the king to decide whether you live or die...... As a reward and appreciation for you. It's up to you to decide. …… If you still have attachment in your heart, you might as well say it out loud, only Pingyujun Xiong Hu is alone, in exchange for more than a dozen loyal martyrs of my Great Wei, think about it, it is also my Great Wei who has earned it. ”

Hear that. Chen Bing and others were moved.

You must know that His Royal Highness King Su on the other side not only respectfully called them the loyal martyrs of the Great Wei, but also promised to put the decision in their hands, especially the sentence "Loyal martyrs like you should not be decided by this king." It made Chen Bing move to tears.

At that moment, the despair when the city was broken, and the sadness of waiting for reinforcements to arrive, were replaced by full warmth, even if it was the cold wind at the end of October, but it could not dispel this warmth from the hearts of the people.

"Humph!"

Looking at this scene, Xiong Hu, the king of Xuancheng, snorted lightly, and the corners of his mouth raised a somewhat relaxed smile.

In his opinion, Zhao Hongrun's feeling undoubtedly made today's exchange of prisoners more secure, after all, in this world, how many people do not care about their lives?

Under his gaze, Chen Bing and other civil officials in Zhaoling County glanced at each other a few times and exchanged opinions with their eyes.

Immediately, Chen Bing, the former Zhaoling County Commander, took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Your Highness, we have already made up our minds to die for the Great Wei, how can we let that Xiong Hu escape death because of me?" …… Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu also killed countless of my Great Wei people, the crime is unforgivable! I'll wait...... May we perish with him! ”

"What?"

Xiong Tuo's eyes changed slightly, and the smile that had just relaxed suddenly froze on his face.

On the other side, Zhao Hongrun was also moved when he heard these words, and asked seriously: "Wait, have you really thought about it?" ”

Chen Bing and the others shouted loudly: "Although I die, I don't regret it!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun's heart was extremely moved, leaned forward, and shouted: "Okay! …… You can rest assured, including Zhaoling, when this king recovers the lost territory of my Great Wei in the future, he will definitely set up a monument in these counties for the loyal martyrs who generously sacrificed their lives for our Great Wei in this battle, so that all the people will mourn and live for generations...... Their relatives and children were raised by the Great Wei court and exempted from taxes...... As for you, the king himself is responsible for your orphans, the elderly, and your parents, and the king will order them to be supported until the end of their lives, and the orphans will be raised and married...... Report the name, so that this king will remember the name of all the loyal martyrs! ”

Chen Bing was shocked when he heard this, and shouted loudly in a fit of forgetfulness: "Zhongyang people, Chen Bing!" ”

Following him, the dozen or so civil officials of Zhaoling City also shouted.

"Kaifeng person, Xu Dun!"

"Summoning the people, Yuan Tao!"

"Undertaking the ......"

"Yangwu People ......"

……

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Okay! This king has written down, the blood feud you are waiting for, as well as the blood feud of the soldiers and civilians of my seven counties, this account, this king will ask the Chu State to return ten times or a hundred times! …… In the end, if you have the determination to break the jade, run over and let the soldiers under the command of this king shoot you to death, so that Xiong Tuo will completely die! ”

Chen Bing was stunned when he heard this, then laughed, looked back left and right and shouted, "Everyone, what are you waiting for? ”

More than a dozen captured officials of Wei Guozhaoling looked at each other and smiled, and ran towards the Yanshui camp.

Seeing this, some Chu soldiers subconsciously raised their bows and crossbows, as if they wanted to shoot all these people to death.

However, Lian Bi, the general of the Chu army, stopped with a gloomy face: "Don't let go of arrows!" Pursue! Get them all back! ”

What are you kidding, shoot these Wei captives, what to exchange for Pingyu Jun Xiong Hu?

Hearing this general order, dozens of Chu soldiers who were pointed at by Lian Bi's finger hurriedly ran out of the team and chased after about a dozen zhang away, only then did they catch up with Chen Bing and the others.

Seeing this, Chen Bing shouted loudly while running: "Release the arrow!" Your Highness, let go of the arrows! ”

『……』

Deeply remembering this scene, Zhao Hongrun took a breath, raised his hand and ordered: "Release the arrow!" ”

"This ...... Do you really want to release the arrow?'

On the camp wall, many Wei soldiers of the dredging battalion looked at each other, holding bows and crossbows at a loss.

"Shoot the ......"

"Shoot the arrows......"

Those civil officials who summoned the tomb couldn't outrun the soldiers of the Chu State at all, and it didn't take long for them to catch up, only to see them struggling and shouting towards the camp wall.

Seeing this, Bailiba's face was completely gloomy, and he looked back at the soldiers of the Junshui Battalion beside him, and said in a deep voice: "What are you waiting for? Do you want to let the loyal martyrs of Great Wei continue to be humiliated by the Chu army? …… Shoot the arrows! ”

The Wei soldiers of the Junshui Battalion felt in their hearts for a while, and finally gritted their teeth and pulled their bows, and shot a wave of arrows at those who were already within the range of the arrows, regardless of whether they were friends or enemies.

"Tuk-tuk-"

After a rain of arrows, the dozens of people in the field were all shot into hedgehogs.

"I actually shot those people with arrows......

Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, stared at this scene in disbelief.

And what made Xiong Tuo feel even more unacceptable was that Chen Bing, the county magistrate of Zhaoling County, was obviously shot to death by the archers of their Wei State, but he still had a satisfied smile on his face before he died, and shouted even more forgetfully, "His Highness is determined to recover Zhaoling!" That's the case.

“……”

“……”

The soldiers of Wei and Chu were dead silent, and their eyes were on the place where the rain of arrows had passed, looking at those who had been shot dead by the Wei archers.

There are Chu people, and there are Wei people.

At this time, Zhao Hongrun took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Keep this scene in mind, my soldiers of Great Wei, this is the last mighty and heroic posture of my loyal martyrs of Great Wei!" It's better to be broken than to be complete! …… I, Dawei, strictly refuse any coercion! ”

The voice fell, and no one responded.

Is it because no one agrees with Zhao Hongrun's words?

No!

It was because all the Wei soldiers on the camp wall were staring at the Chu soldiers outside the camp, as if their eyes were about to burst.

It's like a united army!

『……』

A trace of sweat slowly flowed down from the forehead of Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng.

He suddenly felt that the atmosphere of the military camp in the distance was oppressive and uneasy in his heart.

Obviously, there were only more than 1,000 people on that camp wall at most, but the momentum of those more than 1,000 people seemed to completely overwhelm the 40,000 Chu troops behind him.

"Xuancheng Jun Xiong Tuo, this king remembers you......" Glancing deeply at the direction of Xuancheng Jun Xiong Tuo, Zhao Hongrun said in a deep voice: "You, and the generals under your command...... Offend me Da Wei, never die! ”

"Never Die——!"

"Never Die——!"

The Wei soldiers on the camp wall burst out with a powerful momentum.

“……”

A gust of cold wind swept across the face of Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, and the chill made him shrink his neck.

"Wind Direction...... It's changed...... (To be continued.) )
