This offensive and defensive battle lasted for a long time, from dusk to late at night, the moment the other party Mingjin withdrew his troops, Zhao Hong leaned on the city wall, closed his eyes and just wanted to sleep.

The fires burned everywhere from far and near, and corpses and blood were scattered everywhere, creating a terrifying and miserable atmosphere in the night.

Many of the survivors were injured, dying, or wailing in pain, and of course, there were also those who were hard and not seriously injured, helping those who came to deal with the aftermath together.

The gates opened and closed a short time later, and it was the same old men who went to clean up the battlefield, still swearing outside the city in a hoarse and lame official dialect with a slight accent, but this time there were more women and children crying bitterly.

When Lao Ji walked over, Zhao Hong heard the movement, raised his eyelids and glanced around, tilted his head and scolded: "Zhu Gongwei, this old horseman!" Where is the siege of the city after dark? What an idiot he is! It's not a camp outside the city...... Damn, climb the city wall in the middle of the night, and fall to death definitely more than we cut. Crazy, the old puff is completely crazy......"

The last sentence was very angry, but also a little uneasy, listening to Zhao Hong's panting, Lao Ji kicked over a corpse and leaned against the city wall, grinning: "The effect is also good." Did you hear the news from the north earlier? I sent someone to inquire halfway, and it was breached, and a lot of people leaked in, and it was good to get dark. Heh, fortunately, I didn't know the road when it was dark, and I was blocked by Zhao Hua...... However, you should have guessed that there will be chaos over there because the old eight died in battle. ”

He lifted the blood-stained ring knife and placed it on his lower abdomen, tore off the sleeve to wrap his left hand, the ring finger of his left hand had been cut off in the previous battle, his face was in pain when he bandaged it, but his voice was steady, "We were wrong, we shouldn't have fought like this." Han Zhong had already said that the cavalry should wander out, not come in...... At the beginning, the momentum of the shipwreck was there, but we have no way back. ”

"Don't remember the words of the dead...... It's useless. And it's all like this. ”

Zhao Hong wiped the blood on his body, approached the back of his right hand with the torch on the side, and paused again, "And Han Zhong really has the ability, he should have a back hand before he dies." Isn't Sun Zhong not here, isn't he his backhand? As soon as Sun Zhong recruits soldiers and horses outside the city, he will definitely come over. We'll have cavalry again. ”

"Do you believe what you say? He had to avenge Han Zhong and them. ”

Lao Ji's brows furrowed even deeper, he shook his hands and leaned over, pressed down the torch, and looked at Zhao Hong twitching a few times because his right hand was burned, "You don't listen to the words of the eldest brother, but now I believe that Sun Zhong will not listen to it." You old brother is really chic. ”

When he recovered, Zhao Hong hurriedly threw away the torch and handed it to Lao Ji with the ring-headed knife, "Big brother is crazy." Sun Zhong is not necessarily. ”

"You're crazy. Cannibalism. ”

Lao Ji held two ring-headed knives and watched the corpses and wounded people from far and near being dragged out, "I'm afraid that one day you will eat me." ”

"Don't worry, I won't eat you when I eat it all, I will definitely send you to the ground...... If there's no food, someone has to do it, right? I'm going to be the bad guy...... Zhu Gongwei dares to be so crazy today, do you believe that the eldest brother is not reporting the news? ”

Zhao Hong's eyes were slightly red, "How can he Liu Zheng?" Let our brothers all die at the hands of the rice thief...... Han Zhong is also stupid, and he wants Liu Zheng to help us when he is dying. He doesn't want to think about it, everyone has the same way? Believe in him so much? ”

"Sir is different."

"It's different! What's the use of putting it nicely? Look at Big Brother! In the past, when I lost my temper, he didn't come to comfort me. This time he didn't say a word to me. It's like I'm willing to go against him. Everyone is their own family, what can't be discussed? I'm not here for the brothers! It's cold. ”

Zhao Hong blew his right hand, handed it over and closed his eyes, Lao Ji shouted at a doctor, and then cut it with a knife, Zhao Hong hissed a few times, watched the doctor come over to bandage it tremblingly, and gasped a little weakly: "I agree with Zhao'an, but Zhu Gongwei doesn't want to Zhao'an...... I fucking love to live like this. Look, we've both come up and kill the enemy. I'm still hurt, okay? If I'm alone, I'm not going to live...... But open the gates and flee? He said to me, why? But he didn't say anything! Does our current situation have nothing to do with Liu Zheng? ”

Zhao Hong wiped his cold sweat and asked the doctor to treat Lao Ji's injury, "He doesn't care about it recently, Shi Yiguan's old puppet is a weasel." Don't pretend to be dead and pretend to be garlic too neat, just because Han Zhong believed him because he was tough before he died? It's just a back, forced by the situation, I don't believe him anyway. Now you think I'm a cannibal and don't believe me, but those brothers believe in me! I'm fucking looking for someone to replace Han Zhong, Lao Qi and Sun Xia everywhere, and wipe your ass like a bamboo stick...... Heh, I'm still a bad person? ”

"You wouldn't have been like this before...... Hey, uncle, tap, ten fingers to the heart. ”

"Ten fingers connected to the heart...... Yes, I used to listen to my eldest brother. For him to be born and die, there was not a word. ”

Zhao Hong looked up at the night and said with a wry smile: "He handed over the entire Wancheng to me and let me take care of it." I was happy, but I was also afraid. I'm afraid that I can't manage it well, and during the time he left, I lost my hair every day. The top of the head is bald. ”

He pulled the yellow scarf off his head, spread out his long greasy hair and combed it a few times, "When he comes back, I will return Wancheng to him without any damage." But now that he doesn't speak, how can I believe him? The problem is that I believe him, and everyone pushes me not to believe him! Besides, Han Zhong is dead! He didn't have anyone to talk to, but what he believed most was me and Han Zhong. Otherwise, I wouldn't have handed Wancheng over to me...... He didn't even speak to me! ”

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the city gate, Zhao Hong took the herbs from the doctor's medicine box and put them in his mouth, and scolded inarticulately: "I hate this sound the most, there must be no good news." ”

The figure went up the city wall, and it didn't take long for him to come over, and then he looked at Lao Ji with a worried look.

Zhao Hong spit out the herbs and scolded: "If there is a fart, let it go!" Where are there any outsiders! ”

"Lord, Mrs. Qu Shuai is dead......"

The voice paused, and seeing that Zhao Hong Lao Ji didn't react, he continued: "Qu Shuai led people to kill the entire family of Mr. Song and Jiang, and also found a few pieces of wooden stumps that collaborated with the enemy. Now Qu Shuai is in your house, and I want you to go over......"

"Let's go down."

Zhao Hong waved his hand, and the man hesitated: "Lord, Qu Shuai will let you pass the ...... immediately."

"I'll fucking let you go down! Get lost! Get out of here! ”

Zhao Hong scolded, and the man left in a hurry.

When he turned his head, listening to the heart-rending cry outside the city gate, Zhao Hong's eyes were already red, "Big brother of shit...... My mother is here to suffer and toil, and he is still blocking me. ”

"You're eating people, you're crazy. So, of course, there are opposing voices. ”

Lao Ji shook his head and turned the doctor away, "How about changing places to be the emperor of the soil?" ”

"Big brother said it himself! Responsible for all our brothers! When the generals died, did you forget what he said? We won't give up on anyone, and we're going to find someone to come and help us out...... What kind of bullshit did he find? He also killed his sister-in-law because he wanted to vent his anger at me. My mother suspects me and my sister-in-law...... Idiot! ”

Zhao Hong smashed his fist on the city wall, and then found out that it was his right hand, and he wiped his tears while dying in pain, "Emperor Tu." Who is the emperor? Before Han Zhong died, he asked Liu Zheng to do it...... No matter how bad it is, it's the big brother's...... So what am I? Now when I think about eating, I want to vomit, and I'm so scared. I'm eating people, can I go back? Everyone will say that I am a cannibal general, cannibalistic Zhao Hong...... I'm nothing. I'm for him Zhang Mancheng, I'm nothing fucking anymore! ”

"Aren't there still your men?"

Lao Ji patted Zhao Hong's back to reassure.

"For the sake of money, for the sake of life, they will soon give up on me. They may also break up and start over in a place where no one knows. ”

Zhao Hong cried with a sad face, "Then let's come to Wancheng to work hard, what are we doing?" Those guys in the court are going to exploit us again...... Could it be that you will kill a few more people and die in the world, and then you can't help but rebel again? Or resign yourself to fate, endure humiliation and old age? ”

He shook his head and stood up, "There's no going back." ”

Looking at the dense firelight in the distance outside the city, countless tents were faintly visible, "Since I managed Wancheng, I have actually learned some things. Occasionally, I still wonder what Zhu Gongwei is thinking and what he will do...... Actually, I also want everyone to have a good time in the future. This time it was too chaotic, the rebellion was hasty, the defense of the city was hasty, everything was hasty...... There's no going back. Then go forward and open up the situation. The eldest brother has to start all over again...... Wouldn't it be wrong? It's still going to be wrong! Why not get through it and find another way? And we have no escape. Unless the wave comes...... That guy doesn't know where to go! That cold-blooded guy. ”

"Why did you kill that whistleblower?"

"I'll tell you straight, that's my man, my cousin of one of my concubines...... But I have someone in the imperial army, what will others think? Do you think I'm powerful, or do you think I'm actually connected to the imperial army...... Big brother is crazy, he will definitely spread rumors. Fight in the nest, hehe...... What the hell is he going to do? Believe in a hairy boy. If you hadn't stopped me today, I would have killed Liu Zheng's guy with one arrow! ”

"I didn't stop you."

"You stopped, you put the knife in the most appropriate place to shoot."

"I want to kill Shi Yiguan...... He was there for you at the time. ”

"That old horseman, it's not a good thing. Finding the wooden ...... He's so ruthless, bullying us and not learning. ”

Lao Ji smiled, stood up, suddenly felt a little dizzy, shook, held the battlements and said, "Let's go, go see the eldest brother...... , there's a lot of blood and my head is getting dizzy. ”

Zhao Hong hurriedly held on, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, the knife is for you."

Lao Ji handed a knife to Zhao Hong, Zhao Hong took it, Lao Ji put his arm around Zhao Hong's shoulder, "Go, help me to see my eldest brother." ”

"Hmmm......"

The two fell into darkness, and suddenly, "ping-pong——! With a bang, sparks splashed, and then Lao Ji panted with "ho, ho, ho......", spitting blood and opening his mouth, "Damn, you still have strength." ”

"You're not bad either."

Lao Ji sat down on the edge of the city wall, "I'm tired. Live for me......"

"You...... Don't blame me? ”

"Damn, you have to admit it! But you obviously vomited out. ”

"Herbs don't work, I'm just rinsing my mouth. Poison on the hilt...... Blood is useful. I don't understand either, anyway, the doctor does, he just listens to me. I was either afraid of burns or poison...... You really don't blame me? ”

"I don't blame you. Ho...... What kind of poison, it's not easy to speak...... Don't eat me. If you don't eat me, I, I'll ...... I don't blame you. ”

"I'm dying, of course...... You still don't believe me when you're dying. ”

Burst!

The sound of the knife entering the flesh, Zhao Hong cried: "But it doesn't matter, I will do what I say, and leave you with all the corpses." I didn't cut my finger, that's your merit. ”

"Ho...... Live well! Big brother, he's crazy! By the way, we're all brothers...... I told you before I died...... My name, my surname is Liu, and the word continues...... In fact, I am the one who should be the emperor of the soil...... I hate that Emperor Shangjia, being the son of an eggless eunuch, he's an idiot! ”

“…… Han clan relatives?! With our brothers, are you tired? ”

"Tired, so tired. But it's also cool, how many women want, how much money is spent, how to spend money, and if you are unhappy, you will kill and make trouble...... By the way, since you are so ruthless, I will give you a good thing when I die...... I have a letter at home, as long as you get out alive and send it to Zhao Yan, the brother of Zhao Zhong, the middle servant, he will help you cut off all the Han clan relatives...... Once the Han clan died, it was easy to revolt. I want the emperor to die without a place to be buried...... As for believe it or not, it's up to you. ”

"That Liu Zheng ...... will die too. ”

Zhao Hong shook his head, "How could you be like this?" Can't you say it before? We're going to be alive and well! They fight among themselves, and we can breathe. ”

"No, you're on the wrong path, and I'm going to see you die without a place to bury...... You've got to bury me! That's it! Don't eat me...... Although leaving this path before you die, it is actually quite difficult for you to choose. ”

"It's not difficult, I'll give you a burial...... Because, when Han Zhong died...... Yes, on the day of Zhongyuan, I wanted to leave a long time ago. The two most powerful people in Wancheng are fighting among themselves, and it's boring. Don't worry, the Han clan has to die, so Liu Zheng and Shi Yiguan can't live, and they can still block Zhu Jun, don't you close your eyes? If I don't close my eyes, I'm going to die. ”

"Okay, I'm dead...... Wait, brother, actually, my sister-in-law is never one, one ......."

“…… I know. You've said all these things...... Alas, actually, I don't eat people, I scare and scare you, and by the way, I inspire people to be able to eat people alive...... It's a miserable sale. And ah, I'm still Zhu Jun's person, and I'm just cooperating with the killing...... A few times I charged, where could I escape again and again, there were always a few times I was stopped to talk, and I naturally wavered. Zhongyuan decided to come down that time, I rushed in and told Zhu Jun's people about the plan, and then I killed the one who reported the news, and I was also destroying Zhu Jun's feet...... Do you believe it or not? Hahaha! ”

Lao Ji was already dead, Zhao Hong laughed out with tears, took a long breath, sat down beside Lao Ji with a corpse, handed the knife to the corpse, his head became more and more dizzy, and shouted with his last strength: "Come on!" Thorny ...... Assassin! ”

There was a commotion on the city wall, and it didn't take long for Zhang Mancheng and Shi Yiguan, who were waiting at Zhao Hong's house, to get the news, and Zhang Mancheng looked sad: "Lao Ji, ......"

Shi Yiguan raised his eyebrows, the hand holding the pen suddenly trembled, and many people on the left and right looked stunned, and then looked at Zhang Mancheng, and then continued to write something in the right color.

……

Ming Jin collected the troops, and then cleaned up the aftermath, patrolled the night, condoled the soldiers, arranged all kinds of things, and listened to some reports of war damage, and when everything was dealt with, it was already more than halfway through, Zhu Jun lay on the bed a little tired, rubbed his temples and said in a deep voice: "Ah Shuo, the old man is dying...... The heart beats fast these days. Occasional dizziness...... Alas, I want to eat the Wujun sea bass in the spring breeze building in Luoyang. ”

"Nakaro will rest more."

"Forgot. Oh, Gongda, ah......"

Zhu Jun reacted, covered the quilt, and said with a wry smile: "The old man wants people to play dozens of boards and rest for a while." But the body is old and can't stand the toss. Gongda, how is your little party? ”

"Uh...... What will Zhonglang say about Liu Gongzi? ”

Xun You put away the bamboo slip map, and Zhu Jun smiled: "Take him as the leader, so let's count it." Did he wake up? Have you ever scolded the old man? ”

"I don't know. I only heard that I seemed to have woken up before, and after knowing that I was arranged by Zhonglang, I was in a daze for a while. However, Zhonglang will misunderstand, Liu Gongzi still has this bit of proportion. ”

"Heh, measured, what are you thinking? Did you say anything? ”

Xun You made a movement in his hand, knelt on the edge of the bed, and said: "General Zhonglang, you have the courage to fight...... You have good intentions, and you have honed us to entrust us with important tasks, and we have seen all this...... It's just Deran...... When Liu Gongzi was born and died several times, he thought that he would be able to realize a lot and grow up. But this time, he was obviously out of proportion, thinking that he was too late, and if he continued like this, he would be too rigid and easy to break. ”

"Speak smoothly, the old man loves to listen."

Zhu Jun laughed, but his eyes narrowed, "But the old man doesn't like people who show off their identity and self-righteousness." He Liu Deran occupies two things, but your identity is there, you are used to it, and a lot of words are said, but there is actually no malice, but there is also a little arrogance...... It's self-righteous. ”

He looked up at the draperies and wooden beams above his head, his eyes deep, "You don't understand. A lot of things, not what you think. The old man wants to temper you? Figure what? Will my big man have a time when he will not be able to pick up? Or can the name of your Xun clan and the Han clan scare the old man? What about the eunuchs, how about your scholars and relatives, and even how about the Han Dynasty in the future, and what does it have to do with the old man? The old man has a heavy army, as long as the saint does not order me to cut off my head, except for a few adults who instructed the old man back then, I may not pay attention to General He. What are you? ”

Xun You bowed his head and was silent, Zhu Jun looked at the long nails that had not been repaired for a long time, and the folds on his fingers that indicated gradual aging, "I think very highly of myself, and I think that you are the only ones in the whole world...... Heh, what the hell are you guys? Military law can deal with you, and so can the imperial court. The old man said a word, he Liu Zheng has to be beaten by the board, and you Xun people have to pour the dung bucket for the old man. If you put it outside, maybe a little kid can kill you. Why do you think that those identities given by others, those who can represent your own strength can represent you is important? ”

"I don't understand, and I ask Zhonglang to instruct...... Don't hesitate to point out. ”

"Don't hesitate to point? Why? ”

Zhu Jun took the bamboo slip at the head of the bed, spread it out and laughed: "Do you think you are a henchman or something?" The old man himself doesn't know if he wants to use you or kill you in the future...... You think that the old man is for the world, maybe it is for himself. You think that the old man is for himself, and the old man may be for his family and children. Do you know whether the old man is true or fake? The old man may just want to control you and make you settle down. As for the purpose, the wise man does not take it and ponder it. Because the more you ponder, the more confused and self-righteous you become...... As long as An An does a good job in his own work, it is enough to do his best. If you don't involve too many others, you can always live comfortably. ”

He glanced at the bamboo slip, his eyes narrowed, "If you don't have the strength, don't show off, don't guess." It's all about doing things. When you succeed, the old man feels that you are irreplaceable, and then there will be room for heart-to-heart communication, so that you can reveal your ambitions and minions. As for now, no matter how nice it sounds, it is better to be down-to-earth. The place you want to sit is given to you by someone else. In this life. Only when someone else gets a benefit will they reciprocate with courtesy, right? ”

"Thank you for your advice."

"But there will be a lot of people who are not polite. You're self-righteous again. The old man hates to say it many times......"

Zhu Jun raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xun You, his eyes were cold, he saw Xun You slightly stunned, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the camp, and not long after, the sound of horses' hooves sounded nearby, and someone broke in and shouted: "Zhonglang General!" The gates of Wancheng are open! A large number of people rushed over! ”

"What did you say?!"

Zhu Jun sat up in shock, his expression was sharp, "Pass the order!" Kill! This is a moth thief in disguise! ”

"General Zhonglang!"

Xun You's face changed greatly, "Never!" ”

"Are you going to die and become famous? Do you really think that the old man will not dare to fulfill you? ”

Zhu Jun glared, and Xun You was about to speak, but he saw Zhu Jun walking over and putting on his armor, and shouted at the motionless soldier: "Don't go quickly!" ”

"No!"

The soldier hurriedly retreated, Zhu Jun looked at Xun You, and suddenly shouted, "Wait." Take him down and get twenty lashes! ”

Xun You's face turned pale, and he kowtowed violently and begged for mercy, "Zhonglang General, you ......"

"Ten more! Xun Gongda, the old man is in a very bad mood! If you open your mouth again, it will not be flogging! ”

A large number of staff officers rushed in, and Zhu Jun took his sword and led those people out, still shouting: "Kill!" It's better to kill the wrong one than to let it go! This is what Deran's nephew said, the moth thief is a locust, and there is always the possibility of spreading into a plague, so it can't stay! Old man...... I think so! ”

Xun You suddenly felt a chill on his back, then sat down on the ground, and was dragged out later, his eyes were distracted, thinking about the scene of Zhang Chao's men in the village who were careless about people's lives, thinking about Zhu Jun's words, gritting his teeth, his eyes were sharp, and he said in pieces: "Wrong...... It's all fucking wrong! ”
