The raging fire of Wu Yue's fleet on Taihu Lake was not slowly extinguished until dawn, and Wu Yuezhong Wu Jiedu made Qian Wenfeng watch more than fifty large ships disappear from his eyes, so angry that his hands and feet were cold, and he almost wanted to vomit blood.

However, at this moment, Qian Wenfeng is not the only one who wants to vomit blood. Under the city of Shouzhou, Li Gu and a group of officers and soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were also in a state of wanting to vomit blood.

When the sky was just dawning, two high poles were erected on both sides of the gate of Shouzhou West City, and two people were tied to the top of the poles, which were the two fine works that Lin Feng caught last night. Both of their mouths were gagged, and blood was dripping from their bodies. On their feet, a long white cloth banner was tied with large red letters:

"Stealing chickens doesn't make rice, why bother?"

"I lost my wife and broke my soldiers, and I wasted my efforts!"

Those words are written with vigor and bones, and they are exactly the "eight-point book" style of Comrade Han Xizai, who is famous all over the world.

Li Gu and Zhao Kuangyin, who rushed to the scene after hearing the news, glanced at each other, their eyes were full of misery and hatred, although they couldn't see clearly from a distance, but they could also be sure that these two people were their carefully selected masters, and they wanted to let them take advantage of yesterday's chaotic battle between the two armies to blend into the city, but as soon as they came up, they were exposed by the Shouzhou army!

At this time, the soldiers defending the city of Shouzhou saw that the other party's general came out to see that it was rare, and immediately hung down more white cloth banners from the pheasant, and this time the font became all thick black characters - "Whoever dares to hurt my soldier will be returned tenfold!" ”

"Whoever dares to deceive my people will be rewarded tenfold!"

"Whoever dares to destroy my grain will be begged for it tenfold!"

This is still a relatively formal declaration of war near the city gate, and the font is still written by Lao Han, but to both sides, the words on those banners are written in more slang, and even a little vulgar, and the font has become varied:

"We have 60,000 elite soldiers and 70,000 people, and you just want to send them to death?"

"100,000 Liao soldiers and 100,000 Han soldiers are heading south, can your relatives in your hometown save their lives?"

"The south is not suitable for the northerners, while there is still life, leave the baggage and go home!"

"Watch your life! Die here, who will raise your parents, who will take care of your children, and who will sleep with your daughter-in-law? ”

……

When Shi Detong saw one of the slogans, he immediately exploded and pointed it out to everyone.

"You have lost consecutive battles and lost 20,000 soldiers, does Guo Wei know the way?"

Li Gu was also almost stunned by this article, they had indeed sent a report to Tokyo last night, downplaying their own defeats, and focusing on the successful breakthrough of the Huai River and the smooth siege of Shouzhou.

At this time, a new situation appeared at the head of Shouzhou City, and a figure appeared on the pheasant at the head gate of the city, seemingly holding something in his hand, and shouted to this side.

Because that figure was carrying the morning light on his back, Li Gu was a little puzzled, that person looked very much like Han Xizai!

At this moment, the shouts of the soldiers from the city came again: "Shouzhou Han Xizai begged Li Shuai!" The voice shouted three times in a row.

When Li Gu heard this, he immediately drove his horse and prepared to step forward.

Shi Detong grabbed the reins of the horse and was shocked: "Li Shuai, be careful that the enemy has a conspiracy!" The other generals also rushed over and didn't let Li Gu come forward.

Li Gu shook his head lightly and said with a smile: "Everyone, please rest assured!" Ben Shuai believes that Lin Feng can't do anything next, and Brother Han Xizai can't do anything next! Generals, don't let the people of Shouzhou think that they are handsome and courageless! ”

Hearing Li Gu say this, the generals silently moved out of the way. Shi Detong wanted to follow, but was caught by Li Chongjin.

Li Gu lightly beat the horse, drove the horse to stand in front of the moat, dismounted and hugged his fists and saluted: "I don't know what Brother Han has to say?" ”

Han Xizai raised the wine glass in his hand to the top of his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Han Mou has been taken care of by Brother Li in his life, and he is grateful to him, and he will always be ashamed of his brother in this life!" Today's glass of turbid wine is to express Han's shame and pay tribute to our friendship! ”

After speaking, Han Xizai poured the wine glass and spilled the wine in the cup under the city. Li Gu's throat choked, the corners of his eyes moistened, and he looked at this old brother speechlessly, and a sad meaning flooded into his heart: Great power and hatred, how can they change it?!

Han Xizai threw the empty wine glass behind him, pulled out the saber in his waist, picked up the sagging placket with his left hand, swiped the saber lightly, cut off a small piece of placket, carried it in his hand, raised it high, closed his eyes, and said in a loud voice: "Brother Li, the friendship between you and me is clear and jade, and the world can be learned, but you and I are at war with each other, and we have been enemies since then. ”

After speaking, Han Xizai threw it lightly, and the placket flipped twice in the air, slowly falling, and fell into the moat leisurely.

Li Gu glanced at the placket of the rippling clothes on the surface of the water, roared wildly, pulled out the sword from the sheath, cut off a piece of military uniform, threw it out easily, jumped on the horse and turned around and left!

"The World Speaks a New Language? "Virtue" once contained, Guan Ning, Hua Xin in the garden hoe vegetables, see a piece of gold, pipe swing hoe and tile stone is no different, Hua caught and threw it. I also tried to read at the same table, and there were those who passed through the door by the Xuan crown, and they would rather read as before, and read the waste books out of the house. Ning cut the seat and said: "Zifei is my friend." This is the origin of the phrase "cut off the robe", which was later mostly used to break off friendship with friends, or to cut ties with people who looked down on it.

Han Xizai cut his robe in public, just to show his determination, and also to express his determination to defend the city with the soldiers and civilians of Shouzhou.

Han Xizai looked at Li Gu's departing figure, coughed suddenly, and the person turned around and retreated, but for a while, his heart was lost, his feet were weak, and the person fell from the air. Lin Feng, who had been staring at him all the time, stepped forward in unison with Feng Jingyun and hugged the old Han who had fallen.

"Brother Han, why are you doing this?" Lin Feng asked softly with regret.

Han Xizai struggled to get up, walked to the pheasant, looked at Li Gu's distant back, and said softly: "I have to force myself to do this!" I can't accept that I want to draw a sword against my old friend, and I can't leave you with a handle to be attacked in the future because of my personal sake! ”

Lin Feng sighed, stepped forward with Shi Xubai, persuaded Han Xizai to leave the city wall, and softly ordered Feng Jingyun to put down the two fine works.

Li Gu, who returned to the Chinese military tent in a trance, sat on the handsome seat and bowed his head silently.

"Li Shuai, the last general asks to lead troops to attack the city!" Shi Detong stepped forward and kowtowed.

Li Gu was awakened and looked at Shi Detong blankly.

Shi Detong said loudly: "Our army is full of anger and momentum, it is a good time to take advantage of the situation to attack the city!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin took a step forward, but he wanted to speak but stopped, and the person retreated again, looking at Li Gu with the other generals.

Li Gu shook his head lightly and said slowly: "General Shi, please get up!" Our army's siege machinery is not complete, and the hasty siege of the city happened to fall for Lin Feng's trick! Ben Shuai decided not to attack the cities of the whole army for the time being! When the siege is fully prepared, it is the day when the army will attack in full! ”

Shi Detong stood up, turned back to the train, and was silent.

At this time, the sun, which had not been seen for many days, jumped out of the clouds, dispersing the atmosphere of the confrontation between the two armies.

From the morning of September 29, the battlefields up and down the city of Shouzhou temporarily fell into a cooling-off period before the war.
