Chapter 406: Loyal and Righteous Thieves

"Die!" Lu Zhen roared, and after fighting the enemy for more than 30 rounds, he still smashed the opponent's head and face with momentum.

And in the face of such a fierce and ruthless offensive, the hearts of the hundred households jumped wildly, and they couldn't help but raise their knives to resist.

But after more than 30 rounds of fighting, this person's physical strength and reaction are far inferior to the peak moment. Therefore, in the face of Lu Zhen's knife, these hundred household officials were unable to completely block it, but were smashed by Lu Zhen's powerful knife.

"Hiss~~" The tiger's mouth burst, and the blood in the body flowed out like money. The pain was so intense that the Baihu official, who had always been known for his bravery, couldn't help but gasp.

"Thief, take your life!" Another roar roared out of Lu Zhen's mouth, and the two fought until this time, but Lu Zhen's side became more and more courageous.

He had just swung out a full blow, and he didn't even breathe, so he waved the war knife in his hand and slashed at the hundred household officials again.

"Ah!!h Seeing this, the hundred household officials couldn't help but shout with despair on their faces. endured the severe pain in his hand, waved the weapon in his hand and slashed at Lu Zhen's head, delusionally thinking that he would fight with Lu Zhen and die together.

But...... This is obviously not possible.

"Poof!!" A big head flew up, and a cavity of neck blood rushed to the sky, and it couldn't help but instantly stain half of Lu Zhen's body.

"Haha, happy, happy!! I am Tai and Lu Zhen, next, who will fight me!! Cutting the strong enemy under the knife, Lu Zhen couldn't help but become more and more excited. At this time, he was covered in blood and raised his sword and roared like this, and the whole person couldn't help but look like a bloodthirsty Shura.

And the surrounding enemy soldiers saw this scene, even though these soldiers and horses who were loyal to Pei Changqing were not greedy for life and afraid of death. It can be seen that Lu Zhen is such a brave and invincible person, but he still can't help but be taken by Lu Zhen's momentum, and he doesn't dare to move forward to fight Lu Zhen.

In this way, seeing that Lu Zhen called for war and no one dared to step forward, these soldiers and horses who were loyal to Pei Changqing naturally lost their morale. And coupled with Li Zhi's attack from the other side, it is naturally impossible for them to continue to suppress Lu Zhen and the others.

Therefore, Lu Zhen couldn't help but take this opportunity to launch a fierce counterattack against the enemy.

……

Half an hour later, under the internal and external rout, the inside and outside of Baling City couldn't help but gradually fall into the hands of the black-clothed army. But even under such circumstances, on the west wall of Baling City, Pei Changqing still commanded his soldiers and horses to resist stubbornly.

"Caught in a deep siege, knowing that he will die, he can still resist my elite soldiers for such a long time, this Pei Changqing also has some ability!"

Outside Baling City, on the tall warship, Zhang Shihua looked at Pei Changqing and his subordinates who were still holding on to the continuous attacks of the fierce generals Lu Zhen and Li Zhi under his command, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a touch of appreciation.

Therefore, after Zhang Shihua sighed like this, he couldn't help waving his hand and instructed Li Wu: "Ah Wu, give me an order." Let Lu Zhen, Li Zhi and the others stop first, and let Ah Jiu give me a try to see if I can recruit this person this time. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" For a person like Pei Changqing who is in a desperate situation and still chooses to fight for his life, Li Wu also secretly admires it in his heart. Therefore, hearing Zhang Shihua's order, Li Wu couldn't help but agree as soon as possible. And Zhang Shihua's order was immediately conveyed to Zhao Jiu, who was in front of the command of the siege operation.

"Surrender Pei Changqing." Ahead, when Zhao Jiu received such an order from Zhang Shihua. But he couldn't help frowning.

Pei Changqing is a rare famous general in the Yuanmeng court. But this person is the son of Jiangmen, and judging from his words and deeds, he is also a person who is loyal to Yuanmeng. The possibility of recruiting this person is very slim!

Zhao Jiu sighed secretly in his heart, but he didn't have much hope for recruiting Pei Changqing.

However, since it was an order issued by Zhang Shihua himself, after Zhao Jiu received the order, he naturally gave the order as soon as possible, asking Lu Zhen and Li Zhi to stop attacking.

"Damn two tartars!" When the order to stop the attack was delivered, Lu Zhen, who failed to do so for a long time, and instead made himself the evidence of Pei Changqing and his subordinates' bravery, couldn't help but wipe the blood on his face and scolded fiercely.

These two tartars, but don't let them fall. I'm going to take off your head myself.

Even if the order had been issued, no matter how unwilling Lu Zhen was in his heart, it also made the soldiers stop attacking. However, when he stopped attacking and retreated a certain distance, Lu Zhen couldn't help but say something secretly in his heart.

"Fang Cai, I remember that we seem to have caught it by the governor of Yuezhou. In this way, let that Zhizhou come out and see if we can recruit this Pei Changqing for us. After Lu Zhen and the others stopped, Zhao Jiu outside the city waved his hand like this, and couldn't help but give an order to his subordinates.

And after hearing his command, after his subordinates agreed, they couldn't help but suppress Gu Jien, the governor who was greedy for life and afraid of death, wanted to escape from Baling City, but was captured by the black-clothed army and surrendered.

"The surname Gu, since you are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, then my general is also willing to give you a chance. You will go and surrender Pei Changqing, who is resisting in the corner, now, if you can surrender this person, my general will not treat you badly. If not...... Hehe, you should also understand the consequences. ”

"Yes, yes, I understand, I understand. General rest assured, this Pei Changqing and I have been friends for more than ten years, and the relationship between the two of us is very good. This time, I will definitely be able to persuade Changqing for the general to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. ”

"Hehe, that's good. Then you will go. Hearing Gu Jien's words, the commander of the guards under Zhao Jiu's account nodded, and he couldn't help but let people press him over.

"Changqing, I'm Jien, can you see me!?" Under the tall city walls, Gu Jien roared, hoping that Pei Changqing could come out to meet him.

And as he wished, when he heard Gu Jien's roar. Pei Changqing couldn't help but stand out from the crowd with the support of his nephew Pei Song. At this time, he seemed to be in a very bad state, and there were even three or four arrows hanging on his body, not to mention the blood stains all over his body, and his face was very pale because of blood loss.

"Haha, stephen. But I didn't think about it, you and I didn't see each other for three or five hours. Now it is time to "every man his master." Although the state was very poor, Pei Changqing seemed full of neutrality when he spoke at this time. And in words, he couldn't help but secretly satirize Gu Jien, who surrendered to the black-clothed army for fear of death.

Sure enough, when Gu Jien heard Pei Changqing say the words 'each for his master', a touch of embarrassment flashed on his face.

However, although it is embarrassing on the face, compared to fame, his life is obviously more important. Therefore, after being ridiculed, Gu Jien couldn't help pretending to be casual, laughed dryly, and continued to shout at Pei Changqing under the city wall: "Changqing, there is a way that 'those who know the times are handsome'.

In this battle, you led your troops to resist, and it can be said that you have done your best. Now that it has ended up like this, it can only be said that it is the destiny of heaven. In this case, why do you have to resist stubbornly in the corner, and do the battle of the trapped beasts! If you surrender earlier, you can still take all your life and be rich. ”

Gu Jien persuaded loudly, and he seemed sincere at that time.

"Hahaha, hahahaha!!" However, in this regard, Pei Changqing laughed out loud after hearing this, with a look of disdain.

"Gu Jien, I'm Pei Changqing, I'm a person like you who is greedy for life and afraid of death!" After laughing, Pei Changqing's face turned straight and roared angrily.

And after roaring, he couldn't help but say with a solemn face: "Han, Han Hou once said, 'Those who ride people's cars carry people's troubles, those who wear people's clothes have people's worries, and those who eat people die of people.'" 'My food, clothing, fields and houses depend on the king's gifts. The grace of my emperor is as heavy as a mountain. With this grace, I can be a thief!

Since you are a thief, I am too lazy to scold you. but cut off thy robe and break off righteousness. If you dare to come again, I will shoot your ungrateful villain on the spot! Thou art not quick!! Pei Changqing's eyes widened, and he shouted. couldn't help but frighten Gu Jien under the city wall retreated again and again, and fell to the ground all of a sudden.

Then, when he was pale and embarrassed, he stood up from the ground. Greedy for life and afraid of death, he couldn't help but retreat away with his tail between his legs like a lost dog.

"Kill the thief! Kill the thief! Kill the thief!! Gu Jien left in embarrassment, but he couldn't help but raise the morale of the remaining more than 500 diehard troops under Pei Changqing's tent.

Because they feel that their cause is righteous and their sacrifice is meaningful. In this way, even after their deaths, their name of loyalty will live on.

"Hey!" Seeing this, Zhao Jiu, who was commanding operations on the front line outside the city, couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"Pei Changqing, he is really a loyal person!" He sighed. Then, he still couldn't help but wave his hand and order, so that the hundreds of god-arm crossbowmen who had already been ready lined up.

"There is a saying in the art of war: 'It is better to die than to be happy, and it is better to be happy to die than to be willing to die, and it is better to die than to die righteously.'" Pei Changqing, righteous also. His tent is full of people who are willing to die. Engage this person and this department, short blades are connected, and if you need to add more casualties, shoot them. ”

He gave such an order with a solemn face.

And hearing his words, the divine arm crossbowmen who came out in a row couldn't help but hold the crossbow in their hands, and shot ruthless arrows at Pei Changqing, who was isolated and helpless on the city wall.

……

A moment later, on the warship where Zhang Shihua was located, Zhao Jiu couldn't help but send a herald over.

"The villain greets the lord. Qi Yu Lord, the enemy general Pei Changqing would rather die than surrender, and his troops have now been ordered by General Zhao to shoot them all! Then, General Zhao asked for instructions, hoping to bury the enemy general Pei Changqing. ”

"Thick burial? You will tell me first, what Pei Changqing said when he surrendered, so that Ah Jiu looked up to him so highly. ”

"Yes." The herald, who knelt on one knee, answered. I couldn't help but tell Zhang Shihua the scene I had just seen, word by word.

However, he knelt on the ground but didn't notice that Zhang Shihua, who was originally smiling, turned grim and cold after hearing such words.

"Loyalty, huh. People like Pei Changqing are also worthy of the word loyalty! Zhang Shihua, who had a gloomy face, still couldn't help but shout angrily.

Suddenly, when he heard Zhang Shihua's angry shout, the herald's face turned pale, and he couldn't help kneeling on the ground, holding his head deep against him and not daring to raise it.

"Aiding and abusing, acting for the tiger, and not repenting when he dies. Knowing that he is loyal but does not serve the country's righteousness, Pei Changqing, what a villain! Zhang Shihua, whose face was cold and indignant in his heart, couldn't help but get angrier and angrier the more he spoke, and finally even scolded loudly.

At this time, I heard Zhang Shihua's scolding like this. Over there, Zhao Ziyu, who was standing behind Zhang Shihua, couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.

Hey, General Zhao is really a little bit of a wave. He didn't want to think about where we would be if Pei Changqing became a loyal person.

Thinking so silently in his heart, Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but shake his head again for Zhao Jiu's unwise words and deeds.

"Come on, pass on my military orders." Over there, when Zhang Shihua stood with his hands in his hands because of anger, he walked silently for a few steps. couldn't help but face the herald, and commanded like this: "Pei Changqing, help the thief to abuse, recognize the thief as the father, and take the beast as the king, but he is really a thief who harms the people."

This time the city was broken, and the head of the thief should be hung at the West Gate for three days, and the thief's family should be punished. In this way, I sacrifice the sons and daughters of our army! ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!" The herald, who is on one knee, should claim yes and quickly retreat.

At the same time, on Zhao Jiu's side, a staff member surnamed Lu who was recruited by Zhao Jiu in Bianliang to accompany the army couldn't help but be annoyed after hearing about it.

"General, Pei Changqing is a person who aids and abuses, and if he dies without repentance, he is really a thief who harms the people. Why do you speak of loyalty, and why do you want to give him a good burial? If Pei Changqing is a loyal and righteous person, then wouldn't we be a thief! ”

This middle-aged staff member named Lu Xie frowned deeply, and his face couldn't help but look very annoyed.

Then Zhao Jiu, who realized it later, suddenly heard his words, and he also understood that Fang Cai had done something wrong.

Therefore, his face couldn't help but change. But at this time, before he could say anything, the herald who had just left couldn't help but bring Zhang Shihua's order.

"This ...... I really did something wrong. What the lord said is the same as Mr., I don't know how to remedy it? Even though Zhao Jiu was already in a high position, he was really in awe in his heart when facing Zhang Shihua. Now that it can be said that it is such a wrong thing to sit down in front of Zhang Shihua, Zhao Jiu's heart can really be said to be uneasy.

Therefore, seeing that he was so messed up, the staff member Lu Xie sighed, and he couldn't help but say: "The words that are spoken, the water that is spilled, how can you take it back!" But don't worry about the general, the general, you have brilliant military achievements, and you have a good relationship with Lord Pingzhang, and Lord Pingzhang will definitely not blame the general for this. Next, general, you just need to do your part. ”

"This ...... Mr. Xie taught me, and I understood. Zhao Jiu nodded silently, and then couldn't help but turn around and shout at his subordinates: "Come on, why are you stunned, don't immediately carry out the lord's order!" ”
