After a new round of attacks, Hu Bing abandoned more than 100 corpses on and off the city, and still returned with a feather, but Yang Qing's platoon alone lay down nearly half of them.

Bu withdrew back to the camp and replied to Liu Ji, saying that the Jin people in the city were about to run out, but they were still fighting for the trapped beasts - "I'm afraid that in another three or five days, our army will not be able to overcome this city." ”

Liu Ji was frowning tightly, and walked around the tent with his hands behind his back, hearing this, he couldn't help but hate and said: "Your Highness has sent someone to urge again, if you can't conquer Xiayang today and tomorrow, then what face do I have to see my brother?!" ”

Bu said: "It's the right time, you don't have to wait for the city to be broken, why don't you shoot the arrow book and urge the defenders to open the city and surrender?" If he is willing to surrender, the general can pay high-ranking officials to ensure that the army and civilians will not be harmed, if he refuses to surrender, the chickens and dogs will not be left after the city is broken! Or when Zhou Jin was afraid and hesitant, he could shake his heart, but it is not known. ”

Liu Ji said okay, you can give it a try according to your words - "I heard that Zhou Jin is in Jin, and he is a general of the five grades, and I will be paid for the three grades...... Well, the name of General Anbei is allowed to lead an army alone. So he wrote the letter in his own hand, copied several copies, and ordered his soldiers to tie them to the shafts of arrows and shoot them into the city.

When Liu Ji's letter of persuasion was delivered, Zhou Jin was holding the hand of the battalion Sima, with tears in his eyes - the battalion Sima personally led the troops to block the mouth in the siege battle just now, was hit by four arrows in a row, and was seriously wounded, and he may not be able to survive tonight. But he still insisted on his last breath and wanted to persuade Zhou Jin to abandon the city again.

Zhou Jin read Liu Ji's letter softly in front of Sima Zhi - he was born in Hanoi and had a relatively high level of education, so there was no obstacle in reading and writing - Sima said: "Seeing that Hu Er is already impatient, he will attack the city with all his strength tomorrow, if he doesn't leave, the backbone of my camp will be completely lost here!" ”

Zhou Jin hesitated: "But the people ...... If I forsake the people alone, and most of the governors blame me, what shall I do? ”

Sima Dao: "Although the governor loves the people like a son, he is not a person who is a rubber pillar and a drummer, and he will be able to understand the general's hardships...... And there is a saying in Liu Cang's book, if it does not fall, the day the city is broken, the people will be slaughtered......"

Zhou Jin said angrily: "Couldn't you persuade me to lower my beard?!" ”

Sima shook his head: "No, it's just that I persuade the general to leave quickly while he can still leave......

"If Liu Canyun surrenders, but it will not harm the army and the people, then if I leave, I am afraid that he will still slaughter the city......"

Sima sighed lightly, began to play the emotional card, and said: "General, Sima of each battalion is actually a superintendent sent by the Metropolitan Governor, but I am different from others, and I am like a brother to the general. Such as Pei Du, Pei Wei and other generations, but familiar with military law, in fact, I can't lift my hands, I can't pick my shoulders, but I dare to go into battle to fight, arrogant Li was ordered, every time I fight side by side with the general, does the general think I am a coward? And when I am going to die, what is there to fear?

"I want to be 'strong wind left battalion', the backbone is all in Xiayang, if even the general dies here, the battalion will die! And if the general can break through the siege, there will still be a day to rectify the ranks and take revenge. Unless the general demotes his beard and tarnishes his reputation, the people in the city will inevitably die. Does the general want them to die silently, or is he willing to kill more Hulu in the future to avenge them? For example, in the case of the Zhao orphans, it is easy to die, but it is difficult to escape the shame. Now I am easy for it, please ask the general to make it difficult, the general is fortunate not to resign, so that I can't look away! ”

Zhou Jin had no choice but to arrange the abandonment of the city. He planned to lead the remnants of the army out of the north gate, and then travel five or six miles to the northwest, jump to the foot of Hengshan Mountain, and then find a way south. It is very difficult to walk on the other side, and if Hu Bing chases after him from behind, it is estimated that he will not be able to run out in the end...... But the only way to do this is to escape one by one.

But no sooner had than a thousand remnants of the army been gathered—and those who were seriously wounded and could not be left behind—the elders of the city came running to cover the road and wept, saying, "Is it nonsense for the general to abandon me?" Zhou Jin was full of shame, so he had to defend himself: "The city is small and humble, and I can't defend it, even if I die here, I can't retreat...... Even if I go, I am afraid that I will die for a lifetime, and I can only settle my destiny. ”

However, the people were still crying and begging, and Zhou Jin had no choice but to order everyone to quickly pack their luggage and break out of the siege with him - "But to the mountains, you can find your own way to survive, and I can't do anything." ”

Because of the people's drag, the time to leave the city was repeatedly delayed until late at night. And this uproar in the city naturally couldn't help but be detected by Hu Jun, and he hurriedly came to report to Liu Ji. Liu Ji was overjoyed and said: "Zhou Jin will go!" "Immediately instructed Bu Xuan, saying that you can lead three hundred elite horsemen to the north of the city to intercept him.

Bu said: "Since he is willing to retreat, our army can enter the city, why chase and block?" If he can't go, and he re-enters the city and holds on, what will he do? ”

Liu Ji thought for a while, and then said: "Zhou Jin is a fierce general, even if he refuses to surrender, I can't use it, and I can't make it return to Jin." Qing doesn't have to block it, but only chase and kill from behind, disperse his troops, and strive to get this person alive, but also. Bu took the order and left.

So when Zhou Jin finally secretly opened the northern city and sneaked out with the people, not far away, there was a large group of Hu cavalry surging from the flanks. The Jin army still had the will to fight when defending the city, and since the city had been abandoned, it was inevitable that the morale was sluggish, so it was panicked, the queue was all dispersed, and Zhou Jin couldn't stop drinking repeatedly, but was surrounded by the defeated soldiers and fled. If the people couldn't run fast, they all anointed Hu Bing's blades, even if they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, they were not let go. Zhou Jin couldn't take care of the common people at this time, he hurriedly escaped, and finally jumped into the mountains, because the road was difficult, he was forced to abandon his horse, and when he climbed high and looked, he saw that the city of Xiayang suddenly caught fire......

Liu Ji was quite happy at first, Zhou Jin fled before he could burn grain, then I will enter the city tomorrow, maybe I can collect a lot of stored grain, and I can account for it in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince - he must be afraid that as soon as he burns grain, his intention to abandon the city will be obvious, and he will not be able to run far when the time comes. Whoever wanted to leave the camp Sima led more than 100 seriously wounded soldiers who could not leave to stay in the city, they guarded the grain and grass, and when they saw that the situation was not right, they immediately ordered: "Ignite the fire!" ”

He said to the wounded soldiers: "Now that Governor Zhou is gone, Hu Kou has entered the city, I am afraid that as Liu Ji said in his book, he will slaughter the people, and there will be no chickens and dogs left. Sima Gongyun: 'Man is inherently dead, either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. 'If you are killed by him, your death will be light, and you will be cut off first, not necessarily not severely. In the future, Zhou Governor will reorganize my camp and return to Xiayang, and he will build a tomb for us and sacrifice every year, so that we will have no hatred in the spirit of the sky! ”

Tens of thousands of grains and those tents and weapons that could not be taken away had already been sprinkled with hay and grease, and they were burning at one point. Immediately, Sima beckoned all the soldiers, stabbed each other with two or two knives, and for a time the corpses were all over the ground, blood flowed and drifted, and more than 100 people were martyred......

Liu Ji saw the fire in the city, he couldn't help but be shocked, and drove the soldiers to get up overnight, climbed the city wall, and rushed into the city......

Immediately, Bu Xuan also came back empty-handed, saying that it was a pity that he failed to catch Zhou Jin - "That guy is hateful, he actually took women, children, old and children as his palace, and our army fought hard to kill the Jin people, and he couldn't capture them by one step-the general forgave him." Liu Ji stomped his feet with hatred, but there was nothing he could do - it was impossible to really chase to the mountains, and the terrain was complicated, even if he chased it, he might not be able to catch up.

Besides, Zhou Jin climbed high and saw the fire in the city, knowing that Sima and the others must have been martyred, and then saw that there were no people around him, and only half of the remnants of the soldiers were left, he couldn't help crying loudly, saying: "I wanted to save the people, but I didn't want to harm the people." Or I think that I will cover the people with my whole body, and even if I live, the governor will be severely punished, and then I will be ruined and discredited—that's it, that's it, it's better to die today with Qing! "When he drew his sword, he wanted to kill himself.

The remnants of the soldiers swarmed up, holding on to their deaths. At this moment, I suddenly heard a drum in the valley not far away, and then a firelight swam in, and the first general raised his voice and shouted: "Wuya General Li Jingnian is here, Zhou Jin will not descend at this time, when will he wait?!" ”

——————————

Li Jingnian was ordered to guard the camp outside the west gate of Xiayang, and on the evening of the same day, he also discovered the unusual situation in the city, and just sent someone to report to Liu Ji, he saw Bu Zhao leading hundreds of horsemen to pass by the camp and gallop straight to the north of the city. Li Jingnian understood that this was Zhou Jin's plan to abandon the city and escape, and Bu Pump went to intercept it, if he could block it, it would be fine, if he couldn't block it...... Am I going to have a chance?

Liu Ji has always been short-tempered, this time he couldn't capture the lonely city of Xiayang for several days, and he was even more angry, he often whipped his generals to vent, and even today he even whipped Li Jingnian - it is estimated that except for Bu Xuan, no matter who in the army is angry, they will not be able to escape. Therefore, Li Jingnian pondered, if I can capture or kill Zhou Jin and make a great contribution, the general's attitude towards me may be a little better...... What's more, if Zhou Jin is lucky, will the general be angry with me?

Where will Zhou Jin go? I can think of it with my toes, and I will go west. In the south, there was not only Liu Ji's army, but also the main force of Hu's army twenty miles away, and he would never throw himself into the net; To the east is the Yellow River, even if you can cross the river, you can also enter the Han realm, which is also a dead end; To the north, it takes at least twenty or thirty miles to enter the mountains, and Zhou Jin can't win at all.

If he wanted to escape, the only possibility was to go west after leaving the city, or slightly to the northwest, and try to escape into the mountains as soon as possible.

If Zhou Jin really escaped into the mountains, once Liu Ji asked: "Where are the Jin people going?" The left and right reports said: "It has escaped to the west." Do you guess Liu Ji will be furious and scolded: "Xilei is guarded by Li Jingnian, how can you make the Jin people escape?!" "Arrest him for this, General Li to ask for guilt? With Liu Ji's temperament, the possibility of ignoring the facts and being angry with others absolutely exists!

Therefore, Li Jingnian hurriedly gathered five or six hundred elite soldiers and led them towards the mountains on the west side, trying to intercept Zhou Jin. If he was lucky, he could see sporadic torches entering the mountain from afar......

——When Zhou Jin first left the city, he used the torches burning in the city to find his way, but soon left the range of the fire on the city wall, so it was impossible not to light the torches. Of course, the proportion of night blindness in the Jin army is not high, but even if you are a good-eyed person, it is impossible to find your way in the dark, right? Besides, there are many ordinary people behind......

Li Jingnian saw the firelight and hurriedly led his troops to chase after him, but he turned around and entered the mountains, and it was difficult to see those scattered torches because of the shade of rocks and trees. Li Jingnian was impatient, so he simply ordered the drum to beat, and then shouted: "Wuya General Li Jingnian is here, Zhou Jin will not descend at this time, when will he stay?!" "This is a plan to scare the snake.

Zhou Jin heard this on the hillside, turned his head to look, and couldn't help but be heartbroken. He immediately rebuked the soldiers who were pulling his arms and said: "Hu Kou is chasing after you, you won't allow me to kill myself, do you want to sacrifice me to Hu Kou?!" The soldiers hurriedly said that they didn't mean this - "I hope the general will not take his own life, and lead me to fight out of the siege!" ”

Zhou Jin said in a deep voice: "I have no face to steal my life, you don't have to care about me, and run for your life." ”

I heard a small soldier next to him shouting: "The general wants me to wait for death!" We don't want to die at the hands of the thieves, so why don't the generals slash them all one by one! ”

Zhou Jin turned his head to take a look, and had a little impression, isn't this the platoon commander who once guarded the transition entrance, got lucky, and was called by himself for questioning?

——————————

He didn't look badly, and the person who spoke was Yang Qing.

Yang Qing was quite happy at first, but Zhou Du finally decided to abandon the city and leave, and he didn't pull himself down - fortunately, although his left leg was wounded, the enemy spear did not penetrate deeply, and he did not hurt his muscles and bones. But who wanted to go out of the city not far away, he was rushed and killed by Hu Qi, and the array immediately collapsed.

When he went out of the city, there were still eight people left in Yang Qing's row, and when he was surprised by Hu Qi, he looked back and saw that there were only Zhang Shen and Li Si left behind him. Li Si asked with a crying voice: "Platoon commander, what should I do?" Yang Qing swallowed a mouthful of saliva and replied: "Scattered and fled, how can you escape Huma?" Only by following Zhou Du, as long as Zhou Du does not die, I will still have a chance to live......" Then he waved his hand, saying that I can't control you, you can follow by yourself-"All the way forward, don't look back!" ”

So he didn't care about Hu Ya's vertical and horizontal, and he didn't look at where Hu Qi was rushing, just looked at Zhou Jin's banner, spread his legs, jumped and jumped, and hurriedly chased after him. He really had a big fate, so he really caught up with Zhou Jin and escaped into the mountains smoothly, but when he looked back, there was only Zhang Shen and Li Si.

Zhang Shen saw that the platoon commander looked back, knowing what he meant, and said, "Li Si is dead...... The guy didn't listen to the platoon commander, and looked back while running, so he took a step slower, and was trampled by Hu Qi......"

Yang Qing frowned and asked, "You haven't reviewed?" How do you know that he was trampled to death by a horse? ”

Zhang Shen smiled: "Although I look back, my legs and feet are fast, and I dare not fall behind the platoon commander." ”

Next, Zhou Jin wanted to kill himself, and then Li Jingnian led his troops to chase after him, Yang Qing couldn't help but shout: "The general is asking me to wait for death!" We don't want to die at the hands of thieves, so why don't the generals slash us all one by one! ”

Zhou Jin glared at him and scolded angrily: "What did you say?!" ”
