"Don't go yet." Xu Shu scolded, and the sergeant had no choice but to run down the city tower, feeling up and down in his heart, only hoping that Zhang Hu's bandit would not tear himself apart.

"Sir." After the sergeant left, Li Yan poked his head and said to Xu Shu: "Isn't it not good to do this, the Sichuan army is attacking fiercely, and Zhang Hu's army is difficult to support, even if we don't send reinforcements, we should be appeased, so that the sergeant can return, that Zhang Hu was originally a bandit, I'm afraid he will make a rebellious move." ”

"It is precisely because he is a bandit that he can't be appeased, the bandits are straightforward, pragmatic and not pragmatic, since we can't send reinforcements, we can't say anything more, that will make Zhang Hu disgusted, and he ordered him to hold on for five days, so as to arouse his fierce anger that the bandits refused to admit defeat."

"Sir really has a deep insight into human nature."

Li Yan looked at Xu Shu with a calm face, and couldn't help but have more reverence in his heart, he was also a person who believed in his talents, when he was the county commander in Zigui, he not only looked down on his colleagues around him, but also looked down on the officials of other counties, and even looked down on the ministers of the pastoral government, and now with Xu Shu, Li Yan knew that he had too few people in contact, and there were still strange people in this world.

It's just that this strange man in his eyes is tightly knit, and he is deeply worried about his enemy, which is indeed because the Sichuan army has an advantage in military strength, but Li Yan has to admit that Liu Zhang is really difficult to deal with.

Li Yan sighed in his heart, today Cai Mao came to make things difficult again, obviously he couldn't retreat, but he persuaded Liu Biao to withdraw to Xiangyang with his troops, isn't this looking for death? Xu Shu had to bite the bullet and pull down his face to find Cai's to persuade Liu Biao.

Li Yan knew that Xu Shu didn't like Cai's family, a woman who played with her mind, everything was in the interests of the Cai family, and even Xu Shu knew that Cai's family hated him because of the death of his two brothers, but he still begged this woman.

Li Yan saw everything in his eyes, Xu Shu was humiliated as if he was humiliated, if he hadn't been fascinated by Xu Shu's talent in both civil and military affairs, and wanted to learn more skills, Li Yan would have gone to serve Liu Zhang a long time ago, and he would not be angry with the Cai family in the Jingzhou camp now.

Xu Shu didn't have any reaction to Li Yan's praise, just glanced at the sky, the ground was windy, the sky was gloomy, Xu Shu silently turned his head and walked down the city wall.

At this moment, Li Yan didn't know what Xu Shu was thinking, Li Yan just felt that no matter what difficulties he encountered, Xu Shu would have a way, but he didn't know that Xu Shu was also a human being, facing a desperate situation, and how much pressure he was carrying.

Dazhai's offensive continued, the Sichuan army attacked Dazhai in batches, Zhang Hu really as Xu Shu expected, after hearing the death order to hold Dazhai for five days, he broke out the fighting spirit of the whole body, and ordered the soldiers guarding the cliff to continuously transport water to the front, sprinkled on the wall of Dazhai, the soldiers also wore face scarves like the Sichuan army, and their eyes were wrapped in gauze, and the two sides fought in the thick smoke.

However, the Sichuan army attacked in batches and was able to get rest, but the Jingzhou army has been in thick smoke, even the food is mixed with smoke and dust, it is difficult to swallow, sleep at night, the skin is stinging and unbearable, many soldiers have red rashes, spread to each other, and the pain is unspeakable, Zhang Hu constantly uses high-ranking officials and Houlu, and uses the "five-day period" to stimulate morale.

The Jingzhou army barely blocked the Sichuan army for two days, and on the third day, the Sichuan army launched a fierce attack again, Zhang Ren personally supervised the battle, and the Sichuan army was led by the Dongzhou soldiers to kill the Jingzhou military camp without fear of death, after several rounds of attacks, Jingzhou Dazhai was already in danger.

Between the big wars.

"General, the brothers can't hold on, what should I do?" The lieutenant's whole body was blackened, only two half-squinted eyes were exposed, and the gauze in front of him had been changed a few times, and this one was blackened by smoke and dust, and he could hardly see after wearing it.

Zhang Hu weakly threw the big knife aside, glanced at the soldiers around him, all of them were lying horizontally or vertically, leaning on the wall and panting, the spare gauze was gone, the face towel was also wet with steam, it stinked for three days, the soldiers not only had a rash, they ate those smoked food every day, they had indigestion, the Sichuan army's offensive was too fierce, and Jingzhou Dazhai had reached a desperate situation.

What to do, there are still two days.

Zhang Hu covered his mouth with his hands, gasped for breath, and said to the deputy general: "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

"Surrender, big brother." The deputy general was originally Zhang Hu's brother when he was a thief, and he was called back to his original title at this time.

"What did you say?" Zhang Hu jumped up suddenly, lifted the collar of the lieutenant general, ignored the smoke and dust around him, and yelled at the lieutenant's face: "You try again?" ”

The adjutant general wiped the saliva on his face, spit out two breaths, took another breath, coughed again and again, and said while coughing, "We were originally robbers, and we have done our duty until now, but now we are in a desperate situation, and Xu Shu refuses to send reinforcements to us, it is reasonable for us to surrender, and no one is qualified to make irresponsible remarks." ”

Zhang Hu stared at the deputy general for a while, threw the deputy general out, and said loudly: "Surrender, you can say it, Xu Shu gave me 20,000 soldiers and horses, but I can't hold the camp, you tell me that it is reasonable to surrender?" Are you a brother from Crouching Tiger Mountain? I, Zhang Hu, would rather die than surrender. ”

"Okay, the brothers on Crouching Tiger Mountain will be buried with their eldest brother." The adjutant snorted a few times, got up from the ground, grabbed his long knife, and leaned on the wall to look at the Sichuan army formation in the distance.

The Sichuan army is gathering formation and preparing for the next charge, and Jingzhou Dazhai will inevitably fall in the next charge.

After a while, Zhang Hu's face was a little lonely, and he sat on the ground and shouted to the deputy general behind him with his head down: "Heizi, you take your brothers to surrender, since I, Zhang Hu, have called my cousin Liu, then I have to stay here, my brother has been with me Zhang Hu for so long, and he has not made a name for himself, and he has died left and right, and I Zhang Hu can't pull my good brother to accompany him to the funeral." ”

The deputy general was stunned for a moment, turned around, and smiled helplessly at Zhang Hu, "Since they all said good brothers, it is to live and die together." ”

The deputy general turned around and sat next to Zhang Hu, he was going to die anyway, so he simply let go, with a smile on his face, "I'm not afraid of death, I just think it's not worth working for Liu Biao, you said that when we occupied Xiangyang, Liu Biao sent Kuai Liang to persuade us, and the benefits promised to us can be fulfilled?" Military power and financial power are in the hands of the Cai family, and we brothers have to look at the faces of the Cai family when we walk on weekdays.

Oh, now that the enemy is pressing, he thinks of us? It's time for us to work hard for him? There is no reason for this, for Liu Biao to die in battle, my sunspot is really unwilling, but since the eldest brother is unwilling to surrender, and it is Xu Xian's life that we guard, then his mother's life and death are not a matter, fight. ”
