"Ran away?"

Wang Yi slammed his fist on the case in front of him, and shouted at the general in front of him who pleaded guilty: "Didn't you tell me that there were only a dozen people!" Tens of thousands of people went to chase and intercept more than a dozen people, and they were able to let them run away! You kind of shit, and you still have the face to come to see me alive?! ”

The general of the "Great Sikong ......" was sweating profusely: "The enemy fled from the dense forest, and it was late at night, and it was really difficult for us to track down...... Weekend...... The Admiral has done his best to ......"

"How many times have I told you before! Don't let one go, don't let one go! Are you all on the sidelines? Since you know that the woods are easy to leave for the soldiers in the city to abscond, why not cut them all! Yes! The more Wang Yi thought about it, the more angry he became, he overturned the several cases in front of him, strode in front of the general and kicked him hard.

"Subordinate...... Subordinates are guilty! The general kicked him backwards, rolled on the ground several times, and then immediately rolled back to his knees.

"Brother...... It doesn't have to be so excited. Wang Xun behind him said slowly: "Even if a few people escape, it may not be the person we want." There are tens of thousands of defenders in the city, and now there are only a dozen people who have escaped from the siege. ”

"It doesn't have to be !!" Wang Yi turned around and roared: "What if Liu Xiu is among those dozen people!" That's the person Your Majesty wants to kill! ”

"Let's wait and see what happens." There was still no emotional fluctuation in Wang Xun's voice: "Even if it's really him, if he runs, he will run, and he will never be able to run to the edge of the sky?" After conquering Kunyang, continue south. After exterminating all the Green Forest Army, I don't believe that I can't get his head. ”

"Hmph......" Wang Yi snorted angrily, and then turned his head and kicked the general: "You'd better start asking God for blessing now!" If the person who ran out was really Liu Xiu, or if there were rebels in the city breaking through...... You're going to have to move your head! Get lost! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" When the general heard that he didn't have to lose his head, he agreed repeatedly, and his heart felt like he had been pardoned. It wasn't until he exited the tent that he collapsed to the ground.

Cut down all the woods! All cut!

- There was only one thought left in his mind.

……

When the city wall of Dingling finally appeared in the distance in front of him, Liu Xiu's mood finally relaxed a little.

After breaking out of the city, Liu Xiu ordered the two rangers to rush outside Wancheng in the starry night, report the situation here to Liu Xuan, and then rushed straight to Dingling with the rest of the people. They had no horses, so they had to march on foot, always on the lookout for the cavalry behind them. But fortunately, Dingling is only half a day's journey from Kunyang, and it has been stepped up all the way, and the sun has not yet passed noon, and it has arrived at the city of Dingling.

Although the breakthrough was smooth, the next progress was far beyond Liu Xiu's expectations.

The main commander in the city is Chen Mu, who was born in Pinglin Soldiers, and now he is in the position of a general, several ranks higher than Liu Xiu. When he had not divided his troops before, Liu Xiu had several encounters with him. Although it's not very familiar, everyone has a little friendship.

But when Liu Xiu entered the city to ask for a meeting, several people waited for a long time before they finally got Chen Mu's reception.

After meeting in the county office, Liu Xiu had just proposed the purpose of this trip to ask for help, but Chen Mu didn't even think about it, so he rejected Liu Xiu's request.

"It can't be!"

Chen Mu had a cold face and interrupted Liu Xiugang's half-finished words: "At this moment, there are only more than 6,000 people in Dingling City, and it is still stretched to defend the city, how can you have the spare strength to support Kunyang again?" ”

"Defending the city? What are you talking about defending the city at this moment! Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then frowned: "Kunyang is the gateway to the south, and it has to be guarded, and at this moment, the 400,000 troops of the puppet dynasty are all under the city of Kunyang, and what is the use of leaving troops in Dinglingkong!" ”

"The 400,000 army is all under Kunyang City, and that's what happens now! But if the defenders of Dingling pour out, how do you know that the opposite side will not divide troops to occupy Dingling? We all walks of life have worked hard to build these cities in Nanyang County, if they are lost, who can afford to pay this responsibility?! Liu Xiu, you are just a general who is too often, do you dare to say that you are responsible! Chen Mu snorted coldly and looked at Liu Xiu with slanted eyes.

"Responsible?!" Liu Xiu didn't wait for Chen Mu to finish speaking, and his heart was already burning with anger: "Kunyang is already in danger!" If Kunyang is lost, whether we are in Dingling, Wancheng, or any city in Nanyang, who will be spared? People are dead, what are you talking about being responsible! ”

"If you have already kept it for twenty days, why not keep it for another twenty days?" Chen Mu shook his head ruthlessly: "Too often the general came from afar, he must be tired at the moment." Why don't you go and rest first? ”

After speaking, Chen Mu waved his hand, but he didn't want to talk more with Liu Xiu.

"Chen Mu!" Liu Xiu stared at Chen Mu, but he didn't even hesitate, and simply turned around and walked towards the outside of the hall. A personal soldier stepped forward and gave a smiling face: "My lord, let the little one lead the way for you to rest!" ”

No matter how angry Liu Xiu was in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face at the moment, took a deep breath, and followed the guide of the personal soldier.

The pro-soldier took Liu Xiu and the others out of the county office, turned a few corners, and stood in front of a courtyard: "My lord, let's rest here first." ”

The compound looked rather dilapidated, and it must have been uninhabited for a long time. The courtyard door was half down, and it was wide open, and several rooms could be seen inside.

"This ...... What is the meaning? Liu Xiu pointed to the room in front of him and said in a deep voice to the pro-soldier.

The soldier suddenly made a look of apology on his face: "This room is used to entertain adults, and it is indeed slow." However, the city of Dingling is small, and our army has just captured it, and the people in the city still need to be appeased, so there is really no decent place for adults to live...... However, let my general live in two or three days, and even if it is a forced conscription, he will definitely find a decent house for the adults. ”

"I mean, why don't you let us live in a barracks!" Liu Xiu saw that the pro-soldier avoided the important and light, obviously he had already been explained by Chen Mu before, and asked with a cold face.

"This ...... The small ones are not clear. But the small ones want to come...... I'm afraid that the general of my family will think that the adults are fighting bloody battles every day in Kunyang City, trying to keep the city intact, and it is already very hard. The pro-soldier had sharp teeth and a smile on his face, and it seemed that he must be Chen Mu's right-hand man: "If you arrive at our Dingling Tomb and still live in the barracks, it will be too wronged." Living outside the camp, the adults must be able to rest better. ”

When the soldier said this, he raised his eyes and looked at Liu Xiu, and said with a smile: "If the adult has nothing else to do, then the little one will retire......

“…… There you go. Liu Xiu looked at him deeply for a moment, nodded expressionlessly, turned around and walked into the courtyard.

"Ran away?"

Wang Yi slammed his fist on the case in front of him, and shouted at the general in front of him who pleaded guilty: "Didn't you tell me that there were only a dozen people!"
