Yu Lin Taishou Hongtu was very nervous in the past two days, and he received news that the Wuhu people in the territory suddenly became restless, and ran north in groups. At first, Hongtu thought that those tribes had taken a fancy to which fat sheep in transit, and they wanted to make a small fortune while the farm was slack, and he didn't take it too seriously. This kind of petty fight is very common, he generally doesn't care, and he can't control it, those barbarians hide in the mountains, and the ghosts can find them. In the summer, who wants to chase the barbarians into the ravines, and they can't even earn money for a pair of shoes.

However, things quickly got out of control, and some tribes gathered hundreds of people, all armed with weapons, and marched north along the official road in a big way. Hong Tu realized that something was wrong at this time, he got the news that there was a big battle in Wuling last year, Jiaozhou Mu and Zhennan General Lu Dai were killed, and now Lu Kai is stationed in Yanguan, ready to fight. Yanguan is the boundary of Lingling and is not under his control, but Yuecheng is in his jurisdiction, and he also sent Qian Fei with more than 1,000 county soldiers to listen to Lu Kai's orders.

Don't have an accident there, right?

Hong Tu didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent someone to inquire to see what the barbarians were running north. The news soon came back, and the barbarians were elated and had no intention of hiding it. They said to those who had been sent by the Great Scheme, "God is coming, and we are going to God to go to God."

Hongtu is inexplicable, what god will?

The subordinate reminded him, "Have you forgotten the one who fought in Wuling last year?"

Only then did Hong Tu remember who the god would be, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. The god would single-handedly defeat the three major generals of the state of Wu, and even the most warlike auxiliary generals were defeated under his men. The entire Jingzhou was turned upside down by him, and the ruthless Lu Dai was killed by him in front of the battle. He has become a legend. Isn't he in Wuling, why did he suddenly come to Yulin, could it be that the impregnable strict pass has been broken by him?

Hong Tu couldn't understand and was restless.

The news that followed made Hongtu even more nervous. Wei Ba has not only arrived in Yulin, but has also conquered Yuecheng. The Qian Fei he sent surrendered, and all the baggage became the spoils of the god general. The war is imminent, where can Yulin find more baggage to supply the army that is about to swarm, even if he wants to make up for the soldiers of Yanguan, he can't do it. The thought of the severity of the consequences shuddered. He thought about it. An important decision was made. One dark night, he took a few cronies and ribbons and quietly slipped out of the city.

For the state of Wu, Yulin County is a remote place. It has never been a place of abundance. To be too shou here is not to ascend. It's a degradement. It's more of a torture. Back then, Lu Ji was demoted to Yulin as a taishou because he offended Sun Quan, and Lu Ji also died depressed for this reason. In fact, not only Yu Lin, but the entire Jiaozhou is the first choice for Wu Guo to degrade officials. Yu Fu, who annoyed Sun Quan the most, was defeated in Nanhai County, the most prosperous county in Jiaozhou. Since he is a degraded official, of course, he is not in the mood to serve the country, Hong Tu secretly ran away instead of surrendering, and he is already a rare loyal person.

Wei Ba didn't know anything about what happened in Yulin, and all his thoughts were on how to overcome the strict pass. Shi Kuang didn't lie to him, and more than 30,000 barbarians came in just four or five days. Looking at more and more barbarians, Wei Ba became a little worried. Of course, a lot of people is a good thing, but it is also necessary to meet their food needs. It doesn't make much sense that people will come to help and God will not take care of their meals.

When Wei Ba was worried, Lu Kai on the city wall was also frightened. The prestige of the god general far exceeded his expectations, and in just three to five days, the valley was full of tents. More and more barbarians appeared in front of the pass, and at a cursory glance, there were 30,000 or 40,000 people, all over the mountains, just a glance was enough to make people tremble. He originally had an advantage in troops, but now in the face of barbarians who were several times his size, the advantage in strength was gone, and his already insufficient self-confidence was once again dealt a major blow.

He began to wonder if he could hold the pass, he had no food, he didn't have enough troops, and he was facing a cunning and changeable opponent, none of which would be in his favor. He began to doubt Lu Xun's intentions, he wouldn't want to use Wei Ba's hand to get rid of me, the Jianghuai family, and let the Jiangdong family dominate, right?

When Lu Kai's confidence was shaken, Huaigen's situation was even worse. After a few days of scolding, the dissatisfaction of the Xiongxi tribe against Huaigen accumulated to the extreme. They gathered together in private and whispered, and although Huaigen couldn't hear what they were talking about, he could guess that what they said was definitely not good, and maybe they were discussing Jihua who was plotting rebellion. He couldn't sleep every night, the sharp machete was hidden under the pillow, and dozens of cronies and warriors guarded day and night, but he still couldn't sleep peacefully, for fear that he would be beheaded in his sleep and dedicated to his husband.

With the arrival of barbarian reinforcements, Wei Ba had more manpower. He still did not attack. He knew very well that the fortification of the strict pass, and if he was not prepared to rush into the attack, he would only pay a heavy price. Not only would this be a great loss to the myth of his invincibility, but the loss of troops would also be too much for him to bear. He led all the elite soldiers who were carefully selected and trained, and once the losses were too large, it was difficult to replenish them in the short term.

The barbarians he cast were divided into several battalions according to the tribe and carried out simple siege training, and some of them were drawn to help make siege equipment. A few days later, the siege of the barbarians had taken shape, at least it looked like that, and they were no longer rushing up as they had before. And what surprised the Wu army in the city even more was the huge siege equipment. Wei Ba built a huge wooden city with bamboo and wood in front of Yanguan, which looked even taller and more majestic than Yanguan, and the city wall was six or seven zhang high.

The soldiers of the garrison of Yanguan looked up at the battle flags flying on the bamboo city, and the confident soldiers, their weapons and armor flashed in the sun, and they felt a great deterrence. The battle has not yet begun, and there is already a noticeable gap in morale between the two sides. The outnumbered barbarians walked up and down the city walls, talking loudly, showing off their liliang and courage, shouting and scolding, as if they could kill Yan Pass and cut down all the Wu troops by the sword as long as the gods gave the order.

On the day of the completion of Zhucheng, Wei Ba, accompanied by Wang Shuang, Heisha and other armor soldiers, walked to Zhucheng. Smelling the fragrance of bamboo, Wei Ba was in a happy mood and talked and laughed. After inspecting the bamboo city and condolences to the hard-working soldiers of the baggage battalion and the barbarian migrant workers, he came to the north city, and faced Lu Kai, Huai Gen and countless defenders who were on the city more than a hundred steps away - now under his feet - put away his smile and said loudly:

"You have all seen that at the first command of mine, forty or fifty thousand warriors can rush to the head of the city. Slay your heads. Strict. It's no longer an insurmountable barrier, it can't protect your life. It's not too late to surrender now, if you still have to resist stubbornly. When the time comes, the jade will be burned. It's too late to regret. ”

Lu Kai's face turned pale. but refused to show weakness. He tried his best to control his emotions, and said to Wei Ba who was also loud: "War will come to fight, why bother talking nonsense." I'm waiting to fight you to the death. to avenge the murder of his father. ”

Wei Ba hahadaxiao, looking down at Lu Kai with disdain: "It's up to you?" I'm standing here, and if you want to take revenge on your father, you can let the horse go. If you don't have the guts, why do you want to say such things and make people laugh. If you are really a man, go out of the city and fight, and we will face each other one by one, do you dare? ”

Lu Kai was speechless.

Wei Ba sneered, and then said: "Heaven has the virtue of a good life. I'll give you another night to think about it, and if you still refuse to go out of the city and surrender at sunrise tomorrow, don't blame me for being unkind, and send you to accompany your father on the Huangquan Road. ”

Wei Ba glanced around majestically, his gaze swept over the head of Yanguan City, and every Wu army and Xiongxi tribe warrior in the city felt that he was looking at him. Although Wei Ba is not fierce and vicious, his face is hideous, but the deterrence revealed in his words makes people feel cold.

"Everyone has only one life, there is no need for you to die for Lu Kai, and there is no need to send Sun Quan to die. You can make your own choice. If you choose to be my enemy, it will be a choice for you in this life, a wrong choice. You will pay a terrible price for this choice, and your family, and your glory, will no longer be your concern, and you will accompany this coward to die, and you will be a lonely ghost, and you will bear eternal shame, and heaven and earth will not receive it, and there will be no return. ”

After Wei Ba finished speaking, he turned around and left. The city was silent and silent.

Huaigen didn't know how he got back to his residence, he sat on the couch, uneasy. The guards wore armor and swords, guarding his side, not leaving an inch. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was suffocating. For more than ten days, Wei Ba has been fully prepared, and the siege will start tomorrow, what to do, they must make a choice. This choice may mean the difference between life and death.

Huaigen was at a loss, and his palms were sweating for a while. The food on the table was already cold, and a large piece of oil was floating on the bowl, which looked very unappetizing. Huaigen didn't have any taste, and he didn't know that he wouldn't have a chance to eat again after tomorrow.

"Sperm?" One of the guards whispered.

"Take it away, I can't eat it." Huaigen shouted angrily.

"Jingfu, are you worried about tomorrow's war?"

Huaigen turned his face and narrowed his eyes, staring at the guard who had been with him for more than ten years. He felt that this guard was a little abnormal today, especially the smile on his face, which did not look like a person who was about to die in battle.

"Do you have something to say?"

"Yes, Jingfu, there is no need for us to send the Wu people to death." The guard calmly met Huaigen's fierce eyes, knelt down, untied the war knife at his waist and put it aside. He fell to the ground, his head against the ground, and his neck was exposed in front of Huaigen, as long as Huaigen pulled out his knife and waved it lightly, he could cut off his head.

However, Huaigen was even more nervous, and Qingjin's exposed hand involuntarily grasped the handle of the machete.

"What did you say?"

"I said, there is no need for us to send the Wu people to death, the descendants of the ancestor of Pangu should not commit suicide for the sake of the Wu people." The guard kowtowed again, raised his face, and looked at Huaigen quietly. "If the war starts tomorrow, the Wu people will definitely let us rush to the front in order to consume the forces of the god generals. The subordinates of the god general are basically the warriors of the Wuxi tribe, and we are the descendants of the ancestor of Pang, and when we fight with them, we are killing each other. ”

Huaigen stood up and slowly pulled out his machete, his voice as cold as snow on the top of the mountain that would not melt for thousands of years. "Do you dare to speak for Wei Ba, aren't you afraid of death?"

"If I die, God will ensure that my parents will live out their old age in peace, and that my son will go to school and then become an official in the Han government. I deserved to die. The guard said word by word, "But if I don't say it, five thousand people will die here." Jingfu, can you really bear to do this? (To be continued......)
