Arrows are like flying locusts.

The noise is outrageous.

It's dusk, the sun is setting and the view is exceptionally clear.

Under the orange-red sun, the heavens and the earth are full of people.

As far as the eye can see, dozens of ladders are erected, and countless people diverge under the city walls, swarming up along the ladders, like ants, trying to climb towards the battlements, stones, trees, thick sacks full of things...... All sorts of things slammed down the walls, then exploded and rolled down, and the men slid down the ladders in different places.

A little higher, some people have climbed the city wall, on which arrows still come and go, and figures wearing yellow turbans sway from time to time between the rain of arrows and the battlements, blood and severed limbs occasionally rise into the sky, and from time to time there are corpses lying on the city wall or falling from the city wall.

Soon after, the breached openings were blocked. Shields and planks smashed down those who climbed up, and some people who had just climbed the city wall were pushed down, or they slipped blood out of the earthen wall and drowned in the sea of people, or they smashed the nearest soldiers down the ladder.

Occasionally, the ladder tilted and collapsed, and someone on the city wall took a tree to push the ladder out, and then the ladder was erected and subjected to the baptism of blood...... Liu Zheng even saw a ladder crack in the air, and many people on it fell holding two huge logs.

In the earth-shattering sound, the sound of violent crashes was faint and faint, it was the rushing car crashing against the city gate. Then sacks of firewood were thrown, occasionally bottles and jars were broken by arrows, the liquid washed blood on the city walls, rockets appeared, fires burned under the city walls, and the screams seemed to increase in the smoke.

In the closer positions, dozens of encirclements will shrink from time to time, and Fu Xie explained loudly beside him: "General Zhonglang has sent people to dig tunnels in those locations, and some of them have been blocked...... I think someone has dug through it again. However, the results are not great, and the moth thieves are already accustomed to these tactics and methods such as us, and I am afraid that this trip will be in vain! ”

Liu Zheng didn't respond, just stared, breathing rapidly, and clenched the reins with both hands.

Between heaven and earth, there were occasional weapon reflections in that area, and the dazzling light swayed, he squinted slightly, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were already rosy, watching the city wall stained red with blood, and there seemed to be more blood in his snort.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the rear, and the troops came closer, and the horses neighed uneasily from time to time.

More than eighty people looked at the battle in Wancheng in the distance, all silent, some felt that the blood in their bodies began to boil, and more people were like Liu Zheng, shortness of breath, their eyes were red, and some people couldn't help but sit on the ground, looking sluggish and thinking in pieces.

"Great battle...... Fortunately, Xianbei likes nomadism, otherwise, I am afraid that the sooner I will die in such a tragedy. ”

Gongsun Yue shook his head with a solemn expression.

Fu Xie looked at the past, a little surprised, Xun You's face sank like water: "If Xianbei is really like this, it is like Wuhuan, which has been swallowed up and assimilated by my Han." ”

"Dare to ask the general, are there many wounded who can survive?"

Zhang Ji's eyes were red and his breath was short.

"Not much."

Fu Xie's face froze, and he glanced at the logistics office that he had just passed by, "In several battles, those injured survived, and among these ten percent, only one percent survived in the end...... Oh, naturally he didn't die of illness. For soldiers and generals, who doesn't have any injuries on their bodies? If it is a minor injury, it will naturally take the lead. Seriously injured...... After a long war, since Zhongjing is a doctor, he should know the stakes. ”

After he finished explaining, he looked at Liu Zheng, and rubbed his fingers holding the reins slightly, "Liu Gongzi, since you have seen it, is there a countermeasure?" Still is...... Are you willing to use your bravery to help Zhonglang break the enemy? Fu thought that now is a great opportunity! ”

The meaning in those words made Xun You, Zhang Ji and the others change color slightly, Liu Zheng looked over, but did not answer Fu Xie's words, he took a deep breath to calm down his emotions, and stared at Fu Xie, "General, didn't Liu hear that Zhang Mancheng was going to surrender?" Why ......"

"He is coming down now because he is afraid! However, just because I'm afraid doesn't mean he won't do it again! ”

Fu Xie's eyes narrowed slightly, "When the new Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie's troops first arrived here, that Zhang Mancheng didn't have any awe, and his arrogance was unprecedented. The opportunity had already been given to him, he didn't want it, and instigated 150,000 people to gather in Wancheng to resist stubbornly, Liu Gongzi felt that this person could still be forgiven? ”

He was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look in the direction of Wancheng, "Fu is not afraid to say it directly, the army pursues military orders and military laws, and my Han also pursues the laws of the Han Dynasty." If you rebel, you will be killed, which is a matter of course! Where is there any mercy? If I am soft-hearted towards such a rebellious person, then my big man—will I not be bullied by others? ”

"But there was a war......

"Liu Gongzi! You are seriously ill, why don't you go and rest? ”

Xun You suddenly shouted.

Liu Zheng shook his head, looked in the direction of Wancheng, breathed heavily, and said: "There is always a time to stop, they have already admitted their mistakes, and if they continue to kill, isn't it forcing them to consume?" There are so many soldiers, and every day they drag on, their lives are ...... And the treasury will be even more empty, and the people's taxes will ......"

"Liu Gongzi still has some foresight for the situation."

Fu Xie glanced at Xun You, his eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking, "Then you should know why the imperial court has been fighting in Xiqiang for many years, and now that the moth thieves are rebelling, why do you want to kill the moth thieves." ”

He patted the restless horses under him, and said with righteousness: "My big man still has the strength to spare, how can I allow the clown to jump, and I will never suffer in the future!" ”

"Countering violence with violence, after all, it is better to reform, Liu ......"

"Liu Gongzi!"

Xun You's face changed, he walked over quickly, and then he saw Fu Xie pressing his hand on the sword at his waist and glaring at him angrily.

He paused and stood there, his face gloomy to the extreme.

"Gongda, I just want an answer...... General Fu actually had a conclusion about Liu in his heart, and if he relied on Liu's words, he could subvert his thoughts......"

Liu Zheng looked at Fu Xie, "Liu's eloquence has not yet reached that level. ”

"What Liu Gongzi said is true. It's all said that there is no evidence, if it is effective with a few words, why does Fu need to put on armor and go into battle? Those eloquence were the skills of the Zongheng family in the past, and now they are no longer applicable, especially for the anti-thief, Fu Mou only believes in the long sword in his hand. ”

Fu Xie pinched the hilt of the sword, sat on the horse and looked at Xun You condescendingly, "It's just that Liu Gongzi's words, Fu doesn't dare to agree." Isn't the imperial court only now educating the people? In the past four hundred years, the imperial court has been doing this, but it was only because of the things that Xiqiang had before that that horn took advantage of it. Liu Gongzi should know that people's hearts are unpredictable, now that these moth thieves have taken up arms, learned to fight, and have a lot of lives in their hands, if they are recruited, what will happen to them again? When the time comes, it's hard to tell the enemy from the enemy! ”

Someone in the distance came over quickly and said a few words to Fu Xie in dialect, Fu Xie's face gradually became solemn, and he waved his hand to let the man leave, Liu Zheng frowned and said: "Then send them to deal with Xiqiang, or go north to deal with Xianbei, and go south to deal with Shanyue barbarians...... There will always be a place to settle. ”

"Heh, hehe!"

Fu Xie laughed, "Liu Gongzi, you just said about the treasury yourself, just the hundreds of thousands of moth thieves in Wancheng, thousands of miles of Zhao Zhao sent over, how much grain and grass will be consumed, haven't you thought about it?" ”

Liu Zheng was stunned, Fu Xie shook his head, looked at Wancheng in the distance, and his interest was not very high, "This moth thief rebelled, but for the sake of the entire Central Plains, the fields burned by them are not only a star...... In the past few years, grain and grass may be very tight. Don't talk about the treasury, it's the people, I'm afraid it's hard to have a good life. Liu Gongzi may say that let them tuntian, but in the time of tuntian, how can grain and grass be guaranteed? ”

He paused, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Gongzi's thoughts, Fu now understands them, so Fu will say more." Liu Gongzi might as well go back and think about it, my Han is full of talents, can't I compare to Gongzi? Your considerations, the imperial court naturally took into account. The imperial court will never hope that the Han Dynasty will gradually decline, and every will and edict will be implemented, and it will inevitably be the result of taking into account the overall situation and weighing it. Especially now that the party has been removed, and quite talented people have entered the court, that is, people who have the talent of the world, how can it be just one or two? ”

Liu Zheng bowed his head, looked at the battle in the distance, and said in a stupid tone: "Thank you General for solving your doubts." ”

"You can teach."

Fu Xie laughed, then suddenly drew his sword, pointed at Wancheng from afar, and looked fierce: "That Zhang Mancheng attacked and killed the former Nanyang Taishou Chu Gong, and looted all parts of Nanyang County, causing the people to be displaced and their families to be destroyed!" The rebellion of the moths and thieves has made my Han people even more miserable, and they are full of holes! At this time, how can I sit idly by and ignore a good man? Since I am a moth thief, I will destroy the anti-thieves in the world, and I will return my Han to a bright future! Liu Gongzi, Fu heard that you are known as ten thousand enemies, just at this time, do you dare to follow Fu to the city wall first? ”

“……”

Liu Zheng did not respond.

Xun Yougong, Sun Yue and the others all looked sunk.

"Liu Gongzi?"

Fu Xie looked over, under the orange-red sunset, Liu Zheng looked at Wancheng expressionlessly, his face was as red as a drop of blood, but his thin and delicate side face was angular, obviously clenching his teeth.

Some of his subordinates laughed behind him, Fu Xie glared at him, but saw many doormen in Zhang's Mansion looking at Liu Zheng's back, and some of them were looking at him, still commenting on Liu Zheng with disdain.

"Liu Gongzi ......"

Fu Xie's face was a little colder, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly heard the sound of a cymbal in the distance, and in his field of vision, the crowd retreated, leaving only corpses, blood, and weapons all over the ground......

The commotion subsided a lot in the distance, and one by one the phalanxes gathered back to the camp.

When everything calmed down, in the nearby camp, the voices of people crying and screaming were more frequent, on the edge of Wancheng, fire and smoke danced wildly with the wind, corpses and blood were everywhere, the city gate opened and closed, and there were figures shaking by the city gate, and then the crying was expanded by the city wall, and the old and excited insults came from that side, and there were also scattered people in the camp who went out slowly, also crying and scolding, but the voices were suppressed within a certain range, but it seemed that Wancheng and the camp were becoming more and more silent.

The sunset is getting redder, and the atmosphere is somber and heavy.

Liu Zheng turned his head and said, "General Fu...... Can you give Liu a few days? You can rest assured, Liu will never run away. As for the people behind them, Brother Zhongjing, Gongda, and Zidu, they will arrange it themselves, and they will also obey the general's arrangement. ”

The eyes flickered and the sun was shining, Fu Xie was stunned, and his smile was a little complicated, "Liu Gongzi, it was Fu who gave you time, how much time do you think you have?" ”

"Typhoid fever is not healed, Wancheng is uneven, Liu thinks that he can still buy some time...... Please also ask the general to inform General Zhu Zhonglang that Liu will definitely go to the battlefield. ”

Liu Zheng thought for a while and looked at Zhang Ji, "If this trip really has no chance to correct his name, Liu also has some ideas to leave to Brother Zhongjing, and it will take some time." Since the general just mentioned Liu, please forgive Liu for being rude. ”

Fu Xie laughed deeply, "Agui, help Liu Gongzi and them arrange a camp tent, and arrange it at the side of Wentai and their rebels......

"The owner? He ......"

The voice was a little questioning, and Fu Xie glared at him, "I said you do it!" What's your expression? Hugh is rude! This time, it was Fu who couldn't see the situation clearly, which embarrassed Liu Gongzi. Since Liu Gongzi had the courage of eight people to break 50,000 in the past, but now he only climbs the city wall first, is he still afraid? Only a reckless man like you only knows how to fight an unprepared battle, how can Liu Gongzi's ability be underestimated, don't talk about it! ”

“…… Here! ”

Fu Xie instructed a few more words, and then looked at Xun You and Zhang Ji, "Liu Gongzi is suffering from typhoid fever, and he is a little tired when he thinks about it, I asked Agui to lead him over to rest, but I still have to bother you, and go with Fu to meet General Zhonglang." ”

"I'll do my bidding."
