The night was dark and the wind was high, Xu Yuanlang had no intention of sleeping, in fact, the moment he heard Dou Jiande's defeat in Bishui, he knew that Xu Jiajun would not be able to support it for long. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Hebei army's attack on the eastern capital undoubtedly stimulated the Xu Jiajun in Shandong, but the excitement was always temporary, and Dou Jiande was defeated even faster than him.

At present, the army is pressing, and Zhang Zhenzhou's troops have not only passed through Dongping, forced Lu County, and even passed through Lu County, and have recovered Langxiduo County. Xu Yuanlang was on the bed, sighing for a long time.

In fact, he is the same as Luo Shixin, a lost lamb.

Originally, the Xu family army and the Hebei army had gathered in Dongping to surround Zhang Zhenzhou, but as soon as the Hebei army withdrew, Xu Yuanlang could not support it, and was attacked by Zhang Zhenzhou and Cheng Yanjin, and was defeated in several battles, so he could only withdraw from Dongping, retreat Lu County, and stick to Rencheng.

Although Rencheng has enough food and grass, it is a lonely city, and there is no hope, how long can their tens of thousands of troops be here?

The door rang a few times, and Xu Yuanlang shouted in a deep voice: "Who is it?" ”

"Dad, it's me." Xu Chang's voice was a little impatient.

Xu Yuanlang got out of bed and pushed the door, lit the oil lamp, and asked, "Chang'er, what are you looking for me?" ”

Xu Chang said anxiously: "Dad, Liu Shiche wants to rebel." ”

Xu Yuanlang's eyebrows tightened, "Really? ”

"Of course it's true." Xu Chang said in a low voice; In fact, when Dou Jiande did not send troops, he had antipathy. conspired with a few generals, but then things changed, and they stopped. But I always rest assured, arrange for people to be around Liu Shiche, since we retreated to Rencheng, Liu Shiche has stepped up his actions, according to my information, he will open the city tomorrow night to welcome Zhang Zhenzhou in. ”

Xu Yuanlang's eyelids couldn't help jumping, and his expression was sad and tired.

"Daddy...... You have something to say. Xu Chang said urgently.

Xu Yuanlang gritted his teeth and said: "If you are not my Taoist, his heart will be different, what else can he say?" ”

Xu Chang had already understood, and made a slashing gesture, Xu Yuanlang nodded, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. If he is not ruthless, he will not get the status he is today, although he is at the end of the road, but he still has to make a fish and a dead net.

Betrayal, unforgivable!

"How many of them?" Xu Yuanlang asked.

Xu Chang whispered back a few names, Xu Yuanlang frowned, speechless for a long time. There are not many generals around him, and when he fought with Zhang Zhenzhou and Cheng Yanjin, he had already died. Listening to his son say the names of these people, it can be inferred that the remaining people have a lot of centrifugation.

"When to do it?" Xu Chang saw that his father was silent, but he was afraid that his father would waver.

After all, Xu Yuanlang was scheming, and immediately made a decision, "If it is late, there will be changes, just tonight." ”

"The boy went to find someone to cut this miscellaneous piece into ten or eight pieces." Xu Chang was in good spirits.

"Wait." Xu Yuanlang waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "In that case, I'm afraid it will cause instability in the army's heart." It's better for you to find dozens of brothers who believe in the church to ambush them. I called the generals to discuss the way out, and then exposed the evil deeds of some of them in public, so that killing them would not make the people dissatisfied. ”

"It's still Daddy's thoughtfulness, I'll look for it right away."

Xu Yuanlang waited for his son to leave, and then sat down slowly, the candle flame was lit up, shining on his uncertain face, and there was a kind of frightening coldness.

It didn't take long for Xu Chang to turn around, signaling his father that everything was ready, and Xu Yuanlang arrived in the lobby. Seeing that his subordinates had arrived one after another, some were still disheveled. Liu Shiche, Li Wancai, Xue Ding, Song Fengyi, and Gu Zhong were dressed in formal clothes, their hair was not messy, and the expressions on their faces were slightly nervous.

These five people are all the names Xu Chang said. The five of them seem to have advanced and retreated together, Xu Yuanlang looked over at a glance and understood what was going on. These five people are obviously prepared!

Suppressing his anger, Xu Yuanlang got straight to the point and said: "I came to you today to tell you something. ”

A general, Feng Hu, asked, "General, I don't know what's going on?" ”

Xu Yuanlang's eyes swept away, and the conference hall was silent.

"We've lost." Xu Yuanlang said softly, and the generals turned pale and didn't say a word. Xu Yuanlang said: "You have been with me for so long, I have the responsibility to find a way out for you!" ”

Jiang Tianlong, a general, said: "We knew that the general would consider us. ”

Xu Yuanlang said: "Now there are two paths for us to choose, one is to take refuge in Dou Jiande in Hebei!" ”

Li Wancai shook his head and said, "Dou Jiande's situation is not much better than ours. I heard that most of his generals were killed and wounded. It is not a good idea for us to go to him. ”

The generals hesitated and nodded. Xu Yuanlang said slowly: "Then there is another way, I have a friendship with Wang Jianwu of Liaodong, if the brothers can be trusted, I can take you to defect." I think Yang Guang has been conquering Liaodong for many years, but he still can't capture Liaodong, and when we get there, we can still stay alive. ”

Xue Ding shook his head, "Liaodong is bitter and barren, inconvenient to speak, and far away from home, what are you going to do there?" Many people agree with his words, but some people think that even if it is hard, it is good to be able to live.

Xu Chang couldn't help but scold: "Xue Ding...... My dad is thinking about everyone...... Do you have any ideas? ”

Xue Ding muttered, "I actually ......"

"Actually, both of these paths are a bit problematic." Liu Shiche muttered: "We might as well think about it in detail for a few more days, and then make a decision?" ”

Xu Yuanlang stood up abruptly and walked slowly in the hall, his eyebrows locked.

Seeing him groaning, everyone didn't dare to interrupt, and at this time, Xu Yuanlang had already walked to Xue Ding and Li Wancai's side, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "There is a third way." ”

Everyone was in high spirits, and Xue Ding couldn't help but ask, "What else is the way?" ”

Xu Yuanlang's face was cold, like ice and snow flying frost, and he only spit out two words, "Dead end!" ”

As soon as his voice fell, he was shocked and abruptly increased, only to hear the sound of 'bang', and then the wind burst out, the oil lamps on the walls dimmed and lit, and the hall was as silent as death.

Xue Ding and Li Wancai had already held their throats, and their mouths were 'gurgling', and they couldn't make a sound. Blood flowed down the cracks between the fingers, and it couldn't be stopped.

The eyes of the two were full of surprise, fear, and unbelief, but their throats were broken, and it was difficult to live.

When Xu Yuanlang finished saying the word dead end, he resolutely drew his knife and swung two knives, cutting the throats of Xue Ding and Li Wancai. He is a person who will be a gatekeeper, and under the ruthlessness, he will definitely not be inferior to Luo Shixin. These two knives were unexpected, and they didn't need any more strength, and they had already killed the two of them.

"I am looking for a way to live for my brothers, but you are going to conspire with the government to harm us!"

Xu Yuanlang's words were like ice, not to the dead, but to look at Liu Shiche, Song Fengyi and Gu Zhong. As soon as Xu Yuanlang pulled out his sword, Liu Shiche had already retreated, and as soon as he retreated, Song Fengyi and Gu Zhong also retreated side by side, looking at Xu Yuanlang coldly. They already knew that the news was leaked.

Xu Yuanlang's blade is bright, and there are still a few drops of blood left on the tip of the knife, flowing 'tick-tock', looking extremely cold.

When Xu Chang saw the three people standing side by side, a trace of joy suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he was indifferent for a moment.

But the rest of the generals in the hall all looked at each other, and they didn't know why, Feng Hu and Jiang Tianlong were shocked: "General, even if there is a discord in words, you don't have to harm their surnames, right?" ”

Xu Yuanlang said coldly: "Do you know if you wait, Liu Shiche and they have sold us all to the government and are ready to open the city tomorrow night." and our heads in exchange for their glory and riches. ”

Jiang is old and spicy, and Xu Yuanlang said a word, and the anger of the rest of the generals was all adjusted. Some people may think that it is forgivable to surrender to sincerity, but they count themselves, of course, the sin is unforgivable!

Jiang Tianlong took a step forward and shouted angrily: "Liu Shiche, what the general said is true? ”

Liu Shiche sneered: "What if it's really fake? Xu Yuanlang, are you still deceiving our brothers? The two paths you said are for your own sake, have you ever thought of our brothers? Submit to Dou Jiande, but be a lost dog with him, we follow you, we are all protecting the family, and what are you doing when you go to Liaodong to be looked down upon? Taking these two paths is the real dead end. We will take refuge in the king of Xiliang, not for glory and wealth, but for the peace of the whole family......"

"Nonsense." Xu Chang said angrily: "Liu Shiche, the government and we have always been incompatible, and they are incompatible. Now we still have the power to resist, if we surrender, when it is a man-made sword, I am a fish and meat, what peace can I talk about? ”

When he said something, it was said that in the hearts of many brothers, Liu Shiche looked up to the sky and smiled, "Xu Chang, who did you bluff with your words?" How is Zhai Rang now? What about Duvoy, isn't it better? Qin Shubao and Cheng Biting Jin are not the so-called rebellions, and they are not beautiful at the moment. The king of Xiliang is benevolent and righteous, as long as we wait for us to surrender......"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Chang shouted: "Do it!" ”

As soon as Xu Chang drank it, Liu Shiche was shocked and couldn't help but draw his knife at him. But I only felt that the golden blade behind me was slashing, and with a strange scream, it flashed to the side.

He staggered a few steps, and blood was oozing from his waist. But he couldn't care about the pain, Liu Shiche's eyes were tearful and said: "Song Fengyi, you ......"

Song Fengyi was still fighting side by side with Liu Shiche, but at this moment, there was a short knife in his hand, and blood was dripping. The blood is the blood on Liu Shiche's waist!

Xu Chang sneered: "Liu Shiche, you claim to be smart in vain, but you never thought that Song Fengyi was my person!" If he hadn't been by your side, how would I have known you were going to rebel? ”

Everyone was in a dream for a while, and they didn't know why.

Feng Hu and Jiang Tianlong perked up, and stood side by side with Xu Yuanlang, Feng Hu shouted: "Liu Shiche, you betrayed your brother, the crime is unforgivable, you accept your fate!" ”

He drew his long sword and said sharply, "General, let me take down this anti-bone." ”

Jiang Tianlong didn't say a word, and pounced on Liu Shiche. Liu Shiche has been injured, it doesn't seem to be light, he is a Jiang Tianlong, even if he doesn't use Feng Hu's help, it seems that he can take care of it.

Xu Chang had already smiled, feeling that the victory was in hand, and Xu Yuanlang suddenly felt some heart palpitations.

This kind of palpitation is an intuition that has been experienced in a hundred battles! At that moment, he suddenly felt unspeakable danger, and he turned his body away in time.

A long sword brushed Xu Yuanlang's side, silently with a touch of cold desperation. At this time, Jiang Tianlong roared angrily, only to see another sword tip bulging out from his chest, like his bulging eyeballs. He wanted to strangle Liu Shiche and stabilize the morale of the army, but he never dreamed that the attack would come from behind!

Aren't they all brothers behind them?

When Jiang Tianlong thought this, he was already exhausted and fell to the ground. At this time, I only saw a slash, and then the head flew up. When Liu Shiche slashed down, he heard a scream, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile proudly.

The scream was not from Jiang Tianlong, but from Xu Chang. An arm flew up, carrying a mist of blood like rain, and it was extremely miserable.

Liu Shiche, Gu Zhong, Song Fengyi, and Feng Hu have surrounded Xu Yuanlang and his son, Xu Yuanlang was injured, Xu Chang broke his arm, and the situation was reversed all at once!

The corners of Xu Yuanlang's eyes kept jumping, he had never been so angry. In the blink of an eye, the situation has changed dramatically. Feng Hu, who had been talking about loyalty, gave Xu Yuanlang a sword, and Xu Chang's loyal subordinate Song Fengyi injured Liu Shiche, and originally took refuge in it, but at a critical moment, he pulled out his long sword and stabbed Jiang Tianlong. When he threw the long sword, the short knife in his hand slashed towards Xu Chang without hesitation.

That move was extremely sudden, Xu Chang only had time to turn sideways, and then one of his arms was cut off by Song Fengyi.

The moment his arm was broken, Xu Chang still couldn't believe the facts in front of him! Song Fengyi is crazy? He covered his arms, as if that would be able to block the blood of the fountain, but in his eyes there was surprise, horror, disbelief, and deep inquiry?

Although Xu Chang didn't ask, Song Fengyi had already answered, "I was originally a member of Liu Junshi. I approached you because I was entrusted by Liu Junshi. After he finished speaking, his face was awe-inspiring, but a chill had risen on Xu Chang's back.

Xu Chang now finally understands everything. It turned out that he thought he had a plan and placed someone next to Liu Shiche, who thought that he was still a lot younger. Liu Shiche arranged Song Fengyi by Xu Chang's side earlier, and when Xu Chang completely trusted Song Fengyi, he gave the Xu family father and son a fatal blow.

Xu Yuanlang pressed the wound and suddenly aged a lot. This battle was small in scale and ended quickly, but the blow to him was really heavier than what Xiao Buyi had given him for many years.

In the council hall, of course, there were other generals, but firstly, their martial arts skills were much worse, and they were more mixed meals, and secondly, they were also worried in their hearts, so they didn't dare to say more for a while. At this time, if they hug the wrong thigh, they will have to worry about their lives, of course, they have to see the situation clearly.

Liu Shiche saw that the overall situation had been decided, and said coldly: "Xu Yuanlang, for the sake of me following you for many years, you can decide it yourself." The king of Xiliang has an order, as long as you die, all things will not be blamed in the past! His words have always been true, if you really still think about your brother, you should know how to do it! ”

"You fart!" Xu Chang's eyes were like fire, and he shouted: "Someone! He felt that he didn't need manpower and could do it by himself, so he didn't call the brothers who were ambushed in his cousin. Besides, it has just changed dramatically, and it is too late to find someone. This time, when I was looking for a brother, I was looking for a brother, but after shouting, there was a boom in the hall, but there was no one outside the hall.

Xu Chang's face turned blue.

Liu Shiche sighed and said, "Xu Chang, do you know, you are really stupid. Since I arranged Song Fengyi by your side, how could I not be wary of you looking for someone to cut us? The dozens of people you are looking for are actually asleep before they come. ”

"Sleeping?" Xu Chang gritted his teeth, "You hurt you, right?" ”

Liu Shiche said indifferently: "How can I have you so ruthless? I just put some sleeping medicine in the water they drank before they left, and woke up tomorrow with nothing to do. ”

Xu Yuanlang held a single knife in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief, "I see, it seems to be ......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly showed a single knife and slashed towards Song Fengyi.

Feng Hu stabbed at Xu Yuanlang's vest in the midst of loud cheers. They already knew that Xu Yuanlang was a smiling tiger, and they killed the two of them quietly, of course they knew that he would not sit still. As soon as Feng Hu moved, Xu Chang pounced on him, Xu Chang had hatred in his heart, knowing that he had made a big mistake in today's situation. But even so, my father did not complain. He felt like he deserved to die, so he fought to the death!

Liu Shiche smiled indifferently, in his eyes, Xu Yuanlang was also a trapped beast in a cage. As long as Feng Hu entangles Xu Chang, himself, Song Fengyi, and Feng Hu solve Xu Yuanlang, it is not a problem.

As soon as Xu Yuanlang died, everyone had a good time!

He was about to take a step when he suddenly froze. Slowly looking down, I saw that a dagger had been deeply inserted into the ribs, cold as water!

Liu Shiche was in a trance for a moment, behind him was Gu Zhong, he had always trusted Gu Zhong, but how could he plot against himself? At that moment, he was just as hesitant as Xu Chang.

"Gu Zhong!" Liu Shiche shouted, and saw a dazzling sword light coming over. Liu Shiche could only retreat, but he couldn't move faster than that sword light.

The sword light was annihilated, and all fell on Liu Shiche's face, Liu Shiche's head was not halved, but one face was already miserable, and blood was splashed everywhere.

fell to the ground and struggled twice, Liu Shiche realized that Song Fengyi's head had turned to his back, smiled sadly, and looked at Gu Zhong hatefully.

Gu Zhong said expressionlessly: "Liu Shiche, I have been General Xu's subordinate all my life!" ”

Liu Shiche smiled miserably, at this time there was an indescribable weirdness, he boasted of being smart, arranged for Song Fengyi to be a rebel, and played Xu Chang in the palm of his hand, but he didn't expect Xu Yuanlang to be a step ahead, and he had already placed someone next to him. He has been under Xu Yuanlang all his life, but he didn't expect to die under Xu Yuanlang's calculations.

"Good...... You're Xu Yuanlang! But...... There's one thing you wouldn't have thought of......" He was killed before he could finish his sentence. Feng Hu was as scared as a mouse, facing Xu Chang like a mad tiger, he was already a little frightened, it can be seen that Liu Shiche was killed by Gu Zhong, and Song Fengyi was twisted by Xu Yuanlang again, so he regretted why he betrayed Xu Yuanlang. The wailing voice shouted: "General Xu, if you spare me not to die, I will not dare to betray again." ”

"Chang'er, stop!" Xu Yuanlang shouted.

Although Xu Chang didn't want to listen, he couldn't help listening. He felt guilty about the fact that he had harmed his father.

"Dad, don't show mercy!"

Feng Hu breathed a sigh of relief, he had always looked down on Xu Chang, but even if Xu Chang broke his arm, he couldn't cope with it.

Xu Yuanlang said: "What tricks do you have, say it, I will spare you from death." ”

Feng Hu hurriedly said: "Actually, the time when Liu Shiche contacted Zhang Zhenzhou to attack the city was tonight!" ”

Xu Yuanlang was taken aback, and Feng Hu said humbly: "General Xu, I said the news, you can let me go." ”

"Okay." Xu Yuanlang said lightly.

"Thank you, general......" Feng Hu clenched his fists and saluted, and wanted to slip away, but as soon as the cold light appeared, he had already fallen to the sky. Xu Yuanlang slashed Feng Hu to death with a knife, and the remaining people in the hall were all pale. At this time, a soldier rushed in and shouted, "Liu ...... General Xu, no, the Western Liang army has attacked from Beicheng. Yes...... Inner ghost! ”

When Xu Chang heard this, he was furious, this person said this, most of them are Liu Shiche's people, and the inner ghosts are these people, if Liu Shiche is not dead, most of these people will go out to greet him. Just as he was about to swing his knife and slash the soldier who reported the news, Xu Yuanlang held down his arm and said in a deep voice: "Chang'er, let him go." Turning his head to look at the brother next to him, Xu Yuanlang said: "I Xu Yuanlang is incompetent, delaying my brother's future, now the city has been broken, and I can no longer hold on, if there is someone who can trust me, follow me to Liaodong to make a living." But if there is another way to live, I will not hinder it. ”

When Xu Yuanlang said this, he was grief-stricken, although he was in addition to Liu Shiche, he had been defeated. The brothers who fought the world in the past, this battle, all of them were lost, if it weren't for his son, he might have gone out to fight to the death with the Xiliang army!

Gu Zhong said in a deep voice: "General Xu is ...... for everyone"

Before he finished speaking, the fighting became louder, and it was getting closer and closer, and everyone fended for their own lives, and they had dispersed in a hurry. Xu Yuanlang stood in the conference hall, desolate and lonely, but he did not forget to bandage his son's wounds. After the bandage was secure, Xu Yuanlang simply packed the package and said in a deep voice: "Son, let's rush out!" ”

The two got on their horses, and Gu Zhong followed closely, and at this time, the city had already shouted to kill the heavens, and there were fires shining everywhere, like stars falling chaotically. followed Xu Yuanlang and rushed out, but there were still more than a dozen pro-soldiers left.

Xu Yuanlang's heart was like the waning moon, his eyes were spewing fire, and he ran all the way to the south. The Western Liang army attacked from Beicheng, where it was a dead end. However, at the moment, there is still no movement in Nancheng, and the people who are fleeing for their lives are all swarming south. This was also the usual practice of the Western Liang army besieging the city, although it allowed the opponent to live, but greatly reduced the resistance.

If it is besieged on all sides, I am afraid that the opponent's dog will jump off the wall in a hurry.

Xu Yuanlang rushed out of the southern city, only to see the Xingye desert, desolate everywhere. With his son and Gu Zhong and more than a dozen other subordinates, he did not go south, but went east. Xu Yuanlang was experienced and knew that there were Zhang Zhenzhou's troops in the north and west of the city, so he didn't dare to break through. The adversary let go of the south, maybe it was a trap. He wants to go to Liaodong, take the east, and after arriving at Zou Mountain, he can consider turning north or entering the mountain, waiting for the opportunity to go to Liaodong again. Make up your mind and urge the horse to hurry. Looking back, I saw the ruthless fire accompanied by the indifferent emptiness, the cold wind blowing the quiet moon, my heart was slightly sour, and I was disheartened for a while.

The distant mountains were approaching, and when they reached a wooded place, they were about to make a detour, when suddenly a chill rushed up.

I saw the dense forest in front of me, and for a while, I don't know how many soldiers poured out, spears and swords, strong bows and crossbows aimed at everyone.

Xu Yuanlang was terrified, and in the shouting, he urged the horse to find the wilderness to go, and suddenly the horse neighed sadly, and fell down. It turned out that the rope had been laid in secret. At this time, the soldiers rushed and stabbed with spears. A horse slowly came out, and immediately the general, holding an iron axe, said indifferently: "Xu Yuanlang, Cheng Yanjin has been waiting for a long time." ”
