Volume 2 Conquest and Killing Chapter 143 Dying Struggle

When Xuan Shaoning arrived at the headquarters, it was already past lunch time, King Yu was discussing with Geng Yan, Xuan Shaoning didn't dare to disturb and waited quietly outside the door, this wait was half an hour, his only worry was that the tea soup in his arms would cool down.

Finally, Xuan Shaoning heard the sound of the door opening, he hurriedly ran forward, and happened to bump into Geng Yan who came out.

"Commander!" Xuan Shaoning couldn't help but hand a gourd to Geng Yan.

"What is this?" Geng Yan was a little surprised and looked left and right with the gourd, and teased: "You can't drink alcohol in the army, don't you know Captain Xuan?" ”

"Commander, if it were wine, I wouldn't have brought it to you. This is a freshly boiled tea soup of rouge, with three herbs, drinking it can drive away the cold, warm the body, relax the muscles and activate the body. ”

"Hey, there's such a good thing!" King Yu came out of the house and asked, "Do you have my share?" ”

"Of course!" Xuan Shaoning handed a gourd to King Yu, but did not forget to explain, "This is the newly brewed tea soup of rouge......."

"Well, I heard what you just said, so I don't need to repeat it. Since it's rouge's craft, I'm sure I'm going to have a good taste. ”

King Yu took the gourd and drank a few sips, and then said: "It tastes good, not to mention this curative effect, let's just say that this sweet taste is enough to be worthy of rouge's painstaking efforts." ”

"Yes, Rouge also did her best to treat and care for the wounded, but fortunately, with her, she called on some people in the city to help, and the wounded were carefully cared for."

"The rouge is good, we have all seen it, by the way, this tea soup may be distributed to the soldiers?"

"Back to the general, there are too few herbs, and that's all the tea soup that can be cooked."

Xuan Shaoning handed the last three gourds in his arms to King Yu and said, "One of the gourds is what I have drunk, and there is still half of it in it." ”

"The supply in the city has reached a desperate situation, and this is what worries me the most." King Yu pushed away the gourd handed over by Xuan Shaoning, "The enemy has made up his mind from the beginning to trap us, first burning down the granary, and then the current one, besieging Anzhou City, wanting us to collapse without a fight." ”

"General, is there still no news from Minzhou and Suzhou?" Xuan Shaoning asked anxiously.

Geng Yan replied: "The signal was released as early as three days ago, but until now there has been no movement on the other side of the river." ”

"How?"

"According to our analysis, Xia Tang did not occupy Anzhou, and the army did not survive the Anzhou detour to attack Minzhou and Suzhou, so this shows that these two states are still in the hands of my Daliang, and there is only one reason why they do not send troops to rescue, that is, they don't want us to return to the national capital alive."

After listening to Geng Yan's words, Xuan Shaoning's eyes widened, even if he couldn't fight side by side, at least he had to help, once the city of Anzhou was broken, it would not be a good thing for Minzhou and Suzhou, the troops of Xia Tang and Xiliang were directly aimed at the two states, and it was only difficult to resist with the existing strength of the two states, once the city was occupied, neither the officials nor the people would have a good end.

King Yu looked at Xuan Shaoning and frowned, but he came over and patted the young officer's shoulder freely, "The complexity in the court is often beyond people's imagination, for today's plan, we are not going to find out who is dragging our feet, but to think about how to hold Anzhou City and pass on the news in the city at the same time." ”

"Is the North Gate besieged as well?" Xuan Shaoning remembered that he had entered Anzhou City from the north gate the night before.

"Yes, the coalition forces did not attack last night, but they completed the siege of Anzhou City on all sides in the first time, and now the entire city is garrisoned by troops from Xia Tang and Xiliang, and we have no chance to spread the news at all."

"General, I'm willing to ........"

King Yu directly interrupted Xuan Shaoning's words, he knew very well what this person wanted to say, but he didn't want him to die like this, he had to make a perfect plan, the life of every Liang Dynasty soldier in the city was cherished by King Yu, and he couldn't die at will.

"There are only three of you left in the Cold Knife Guard now, so don't take any more risks. Now it's still snowing outside, and this kind of weather is also unfavorable for Xia Tang and Xiliang, what we can do is to wait and see what happens, and the driver looks for opportunities. King Yu said to Xuan Shaoning: "At present, the most important thing we need to solve is the problem of grain and grass, and this matter will be left to you." ”

"The last general obeys!"

When Xuan Shaoning was leaving, he put the last two gourds on the desk, and as soon as he walked out of the headquarters, large snowflakes fell on Xuan Shaoning's shoulders, and he couldn't help but worry. "Qingyuan, how are you, are you okay? Are you still ....... Alive? ”

"I want to live! I must live! ”

Mu Qingyuan, who was trapped in the iron cage, hugged himself tightly but still couldn't control his trembling, he had been locked in the iron cage for five days, and during these five days, he was like a beast, only one meal a day, eating, drinking, and Lazar were all in the cage. This cage was too small to accommodate a man of Mu Qingyuan's stature, so he could only curl up and change his posture once his body was sore.

Mu Qingyuan moved his legs, which were already sore, and he moved himself as close to the edge of the cage as possible. His nose was already red from the cold, and the gas he came out condensed into mist in the air, but Mu Qingyuan forced himself to keep shouting.

"Commander! Commander! Brother Yan! Brother Yan! ”

The voice was hoarse and weak, but in this empty and cold clearing, it was enough for the person on the other side to hear, if the person on the other side was still alive.

The last time Yan Yuxin reacted was last night, when Mu Qingyuan called him, he responded by moving his head slightly, which allowed Mu Qingyuan to fall asleep peacefully. But from today morning to now, Yan Yuxin has not made any response to Mu Qingyuan's call.

A day and a night of snow covered Yan Yuxin nailed to the wooden frame into a snowman, if you don't identify it carefully, most people will think that this is something that people can pile up, but they don't know that he was once a bloody soldier.

"Brother Yan, Yan Yuxin! Give me a move! ”

Mu Qingyuan grabbed the cage and screamed hoarsely, but unfortunately it was not Yan Yuxin's response but a person with a blue face, this person Mu Qingyuan was very familiar with, that is, he burned the wine shop and cut off the hope of Hanzhou for help.

"Master Mu, don't bother, even if he was a soldier in his lifetime, he is now just a cold corpse."

"You're scared! You're afraid that once the commander recovers, the first thing he will deal with is you! ”

"Hahaha!" The blue-faced man looked up to the sky and smiled, and it took a while to stop, "Lord Mu, Lord Mu, you are still so naΓ―ve to this day, but this is not your fault, after all, you have been locked up here and don't know the battle situation outside." ”

The blue-faced man gently stroked the iron cage, and he said as he paced slowly around the cage, "It's been the fifth day that Hanzhou has been occupied by us, haven't you thought about why your Liang Dynasty army has been delayed in coming to rescue you?" ”

The blue-faced man looked into Mu Qingyuan's eyes, and said infinitely seriously: "You really haven't thought about it, even a little bit? Whether you've thought about it or not, I'm going to tell you the truth, I'm going to tell everyone the truth! ”

Suddenly raising the volume, Mu Qingyuan's heart also began to entangle, he was eager to hear the news of the battle, but he was afraid to hear the news of the battle, he was afraid that this person was telling the truth.

"The army of the Liang Dynasty really wants to come to rescue you, but unfortunately, they are not our opponents, not only was Jiangzhou City slaughtered, but they are also currently beaten and cowered in Anzhou City and dare not come out!" The blue-faced man walked to the center of the world and said to all the captives, "You should die! Your army is now too busy to save you! ”

"Don't listen to him, he wants us to give up!" Mu Qingyuan shook the iron cage and roared out with all his strength to let all the people of Hanzhou hear.

The blue-faced man didn't care at all, let alone all the captives, even if it was himself, he couldn't hear what he said when he stood in a place that was just a person away from Mu Qingyuan.

"The war has reached this point, I can only tell you the truth, it is worthless for you to keep it!"

As soon as these words were uttered, all the people began to stir up, and even though they did not read much, they understood what the enemy meant, and they moved their bodies away from the man, as if they could escape death.

"The first person to deal with is him!" The blue-faced man pointed his fingers, and everyone's breath was held.
