"Whoever kills Wu Shaocheng, he will be named Cai Hou, and the reward will be 5,000 yuan. Those who killed Wu Yuanqing were sealed Huo Shanbo and rewarded 3,000 yuan. Those who killed Wu Shaoyang were given a reward of 2,000 yuan. The one who killed Wu Yuanji,?????? This one has been crossed and crossed, and someone has taken it?????? Kill the general?????? Worship the captain of the light car, and reward a thousand yuan??????"

When a few arrows fell weakly in front of the indoctrination army, the indoctrination reflexively jumped outward, and then stopped and continued to read. For three days, in between each battle, the indoctrination soldiers in Yan Qin's army picked up the iron cylinder and shouted. At first, the defenders of Shenzhou still fired arrows to interfere or scolded loudly, but the indoctrination soldiers only stepped back slightly and continued to preach as if nothing had happened. When the defenders of Shenzhou realized that it was a futile effort to try to interfere, they allowed the soldiers to continue preaching, occasionally fighting back once or twice. Wu Shaoyang hated itchy, but there was no way to join the army with these indoctrinations. Listen, these soldiers have taken the eloquent preaching of these indoctrination soldiers as a necessary entertainment during rest, and if they can't hear it for a while, they will stick their heads out of the battlements and look out. After a few days, even the soldiers shouted "Xie Wu Marshal rewards food" when they were eating. Not only did the soldiers like to listen, but even the young men pricked up their ears in the city and in and out of the city, and then went home at night to ask the few old people alive in the city:

"Grandpa, what is the imperial court?"

or

"What kind of official is the emperor? Is there Wu Dashuai? Wu Dashuai is the heaven of our Shenzhou, so what is the emperor? ”

Ask on the sly, of course. The rules of Huaixi are very strict, no speech is allowed in a remote place on the road, no visit to each other when you go home, turn off the lights to sleep at night, or close the door and cover the quilt What should you do, in short, all activities with more people and more conversations are prohibited, so there are no schools in the three states of Huaixi, there are no big commercial activities, and even the merchants who come and go are few. The advantage of this is that the people of Sanzhou have restored the habit of resting at sunrise and sunset in ancient times, without any superfluous thoughts other than eating, drinking, and passing on their ancestry, and the disadvantage is that the generation that has grown up in the past twenty or thirty years is very wooden regardless of the city and the countryside, and the most familiar is to cut people with knives. It often makes older people sigh:

"Woody."

Therefore, many people in Huaixi have a nickname or a large name called wood. The most common thing that happened in the Huaixi military camp was that the officers were so angry that they scolded the soldiers:

"Wood!"

Then the heads of the tents stuck out and asked:

"What's the matter with me?"

The soldiers in the city were still wondering why Wu Shaoyang was neither as valuable as Wu Shaocheng nor as valuable as Wu Yuanqing, of course, the indoctrination of joining the army and saying that Wu Yuanqing's reward had been taken also aroused the interest or panic of the soldiers. Wu Shaoyang had already spurted out a mouthful of blood. This mouthful of blood had been holding in his chest for too long. What does it mean to be taken by someone, has Wu Yuanji been arrested or killed?

Song Zhi held Wu Shaoyang and said:

"General, Hugh is going to fall for Yan Qin. If he really took the major general, how could Yan Qin leave the major general in a certain place, and not tie the young general out to show the public to weaken the morale of our army? ”

Song Zhi's next sentence was "You have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death, even if the major general is killed, Yan Qin will show his head to the public", but he didn't dare to say it. Liu Ziye's body was still lying on the side of the suspension bridge, no one collected the body, and Liu Ziye's wife and children in Caizhou were also said to have been sent by Wu Shaoyang to send a letter of complaint and killed. What happened to Liu Ziye that night was still in front of him, no matter how arrogant Song Zhi was, he was not afraid of death and did not dare to joke with his life.

Wu Shaoyang said in a hoarse voice:

"How could the old man not know that this was Yan Qin's thief's poisonous plan to break the hearts of our army? It's just that Yuanji really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. ”

Song Zhi was speechless and said:

"General, let's send someone to Caizhou to ask for help!"

Wu Shaoyang held back the bloody anger rolling in his heart, gritted his teeth and said:

"Lift the bed crossbow up and shoot that noisy guy!"

The bed crossbow is a very bulky guy, and the cost is not cheap, so there are only a few bed crossbows in the entire Huaixi, and one of them is broken and cannot be used. Two that can be used are in Caizhou and one is in Shenzhou. As for Gwangju, can you still use it to deal with those tofu soldiers? However, whether it is Caizhou or Shenzhou, there is no awareness of using bed crossbows, and in the past wars in Huaixi, the outer town army did not touch the city wall at all. So the treasure of the bed crossbow was placed in the treasury. No one can think of using it, but now seeing that the indoctrination army is arrogant there, but the arrows are beyond reach, Wu Shaoyang remembered the legendary bed crossbow.

In the sound of hey, hey, the guy with the bed crossbow was carried up. However, at this time, there had been a change in the city, after indoctrination and joining the army, and when the Huaixi soldiers were encouraged to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, the group of ten had already killed the officer and the guards of that section of the city wall, and gathered a hundred and ten people to guard the dozens of battlements, the soldiers and the young men shouted loudly, scolding angrily, the comrades who were fighting side by side a moment ago have now slashed each other with a knife, Wu Shaoyang, who was going to rest for a while, was bruised in his chest with a mouthful of blood, and finally spit it out. After spitting it out, Wu Shaoyang's emotions calmed down a lot. Shouted angrily:

"Transfer the guards and kill all these thieves! The cavalry gathered at the city gate, ready to go out of the city with the old man to kill the enemy! ”

It was impossible to ignore the battle of a few hundred people, and the chaos at the head of the city was quickly discovered, and when the indoctrination army was happy that his hard work had paid off, the news had already reached Yan Qin layer by layer. Before Yan Qin gave the order, Keti Mizhu had already dropped the dishes and chopsticks, and ran out with both hands splashed, shouting as he ran:

"Come on, prepare the horses!"

Yan Qin didn't care about him, because Yan Qin was also in a hurry now. However, the difference between Yan Qin and Keti Mizhu is that Yan Qin wiped his hands clean on the horse. More calm than them is Wei Wu, he wipes it clean as he runs, and he doesn't say what he wipes it with. Anyway, when several major generals galloped to the west gate, the battle at the head of the city was fierce, under the coercion of the Huaixi officers, the soldiers were closing their eyes and compressing the space of the ten-person group with a gun array, and the scrambling youth greatly interfered with the defense of the ten-person organization, and dealt with the organized killing alone, and the result could be known with knees. The opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again, Yan Qin immediately said:

"Keti Mizhu, quickly lead the cavalry to gallop to the city to support!"

As soon as the order of Keti Mizhu was about to go, Wei Wu said slowly:

"General Kotimizhu's hands are still full of oil. Let the last general go! ”

What is called the details determine success or failure, this is called the details determine success or failure! The stunned Keti Mizhu watched Wei Wu lead his cavalry to gallop under the city, but soon there was an exclamation from the side of the city wall, and then there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves around the corner, and Keti Mizhu, who had already wiped his hands, drew his knife, and when he saw Yan Qin nodding, he immediately rushed out. The cavalry of the Huaixi mules and horses finally turned along the moat, and the Wei Wu department, which could not turn around, immediately suffered a loss and was cut into the ribs by the Huaixi cavalry. However, the cavalry general led by the Huaixi cavalry was not Wu Shaoyang, but Song Zhi.

When Wu Shaoyang was neatly draped and went down to the city tower with a pale face, Song Zhi had already ridden in front of the army. Song Zhidao:

"The great marshal and the general are kind, and Song Zhi can't repay it. This is dangerous, but Shenzhou can't leave the general. ”

Wu Shaoyang didn't say a word, turned around and went up to the city tower, the south gate was opened, the drawbridge was lowered, and several soldiers quickly came out and threw the bodies of Liu Ziye hanging on the drawbridge into the moat, and then, Song Zhi led three hundred cavalry to kill it, and went straight to the west gate along the moat.

Song Zhi's style of play is completely a suicide attack without sparing horsepower. Turning the moat, he ran into Wei Wu's cavalry. It happened suddenly, and no one thought that the defenders of Shenzhou would have the courage to attack out of the city at this time, but thinking about it is indeed the best way. Space was limited, Wei Wu's cavalry could not turn back, but could only move forward, trying to turn the horse's head to the north, the men and horses were crowded, many people were squeezed into the moat by their own soldiers, smashing the thin ice on the river surface, and from time to time the crisp sound of broken bones and screams were heard. And Song Zhi's 300 people didn't plan to go back alive at all, let go of their backs and let Keti Mizhu chop, only caring about cutting and killing Wei Wu's soldiers and horses. When Keti Mizhu found Song Zhi and stabbed Song Zhi to death with Wei Wu, most of Wei Wu's cavalry were killed and wounded, and there was no cavalry left in Huaixi. And the battle at the head of the city is over.

Standing at the battlement with a sword, it was Wu Shaoyang. And from the head of the city came a rain of arrows.

As usual, Song Zhi's head was thrown on the ground, but Ti Mizhu couldn't get excited, and Wei Wu's face was even more pale, no wonder, the dead were all the soldiers who followed him. Yan Qin's face was calm, and he said:

"Put Song Zhi's head into the wooden box and pass it to General Manager Li and Lu Xianggong to ask for credit for the two generals."

He didn't seem to realize that this was his biggest setback since he left school. Just now, in order to vent their anger, Wei Wu's subordinates killed all the wounded Huaixi soldiers who were injured and fell off their horses and cut off their heads. And all the officers and soldiers who fell into the moat were shot dead. This situation is what Wu Shaoyang wants to see, and it is he who first ordered people to release arrows to promote this situation; But this is not what Yan Qin wants to see. So when Jiaohua joined the army excitedly and came to take the initiative to ask for help, and proposed to move his position forward half a stone's throw away, Yan Qin ordered him to be credited, and said unhurriedly:

"If you want to have feathered arrows all over you, go for it."

The hatred accumulated in blood cannot be eliminated in the short term.

The Huaixi thief army is really ruthless!

Two days ago, when Ma Shaoliang brought Hou Weiqing's envoy to Li Yu, Li Yu did not hesitate at all, and took more than 100 horsemen and horses out of Yiyang Gate despite the opposition of the generals under his command. During the period when he returned to Chang'an from Fengxiang, Li Yu also worked Huaixi. In the information provided by the Department of Grain and Straw Statistics, Hou Weiqing is characterized as a person who can be won over. Li Yu didn't know that Hou Weiqing had already set up a line with the Huaixi camp in Henan, but he thought it was an opportunity. In war, the bet is on chance.

As soon as he saw Li Yu, Hou Weiqing jumped off the horse, turned over and knelt down in front of Li Yu's horse, as a rebel who wanted to surrender, the most important thing was to have a low profile, and Hou Weiqing still had this awareness. Li Yu also turned over and jumped off the horse, and gently pressed Hou Weiqing's shoulder to get him up. After a few words of good words, Hou Weiqing revealed his relationship with the Huaixi camp in Henan. Li Yu was overjoyed and said:

"It's rare for General Hou to be so loyal. General Hou, but please rest assured, Li will naturally help General Hou send a letter to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Hou Weiqing naturally thanked him for not mentioning it. Next, the tied sturdy Wu Yuanji and his entourage were handed over to Li Yu by Hou Weiqing. Li Yu gave Hou Weiqing a few more words of encouragement, and asked his guards to take Wu Yuanji back to the camp first, and he stayed in Hou Weiqing's army, walking side by side with Hou Weiqing, talking while walking. What do you need most? What is needed most is trust. Li Yu showed his trust in Hou Weiqing and others with his unguarded practical actions. Moved by Hou Weiqing, whose eyes were red, said:

"The last general's old parents, wife and children are still in Caizhou City, I wanted to exchange Wu Yuanji for his wife and children, otherwise Hou Weiqing would kill his parents, wife and children even if he washed the snow, what face did he have to live in the world? Li Shuai treats Hou like this, Hou is already ashamed of the country, where does he dare to make this request to let the tiger return to the mountain? I also asked Li Shuai and the last general to play a bitter trick, and the labor king chased the last general to Langshan City to show that the last general was defeated and captured! ”

Li Yu pondered for a moment and said:

"In this way, wouldn't you want to wronged General Hou? Li thought that General Hou didn't need to return to the imperial court now. ”

In the end, it was a general, Hou Weiqing immediately reacted and asked:

"Li Shuai wants Hou to go to Langshan first, and then take Langshan together?"

Li Yu smiled:

"It's inevitable that someone will run away, won't it affect Brother Hou's parents and family? Li Yu meant that Brother Hou could go to Langshan first, and now Li Yu didn't want to take Langshan. ”

How can there be military merits that the generals don't want? Seeing Hou Weiqing's puzzled face, Li Yu explained:

"Li Yu just asked Brother Hou to go in and make a stake. A certain will not go to Lang Mountain. Langshan is an important town in Huaixi, Langshan, thousands of rebels in this direction are bound to retreat in fear, and it will be difficult to fight Caizhou at that time. ”

Only then did everyone know that this marching commander, who was despised by the generals of Huaixi, had such a good appetite and such a long-term plan. I was afraid that I would be an enemy of him, and I didn't know how to die, and I was in awe of Li Yu. Li Yu still talked and laughed with Hou Weiqing.

Li Yu is both intriguing and cautious. If it were someone else, I was afraid that Wu Yuanji would be brought to Shenzhou City immediately, and Wu Yuanji would be used to force Wu Shaoyang to sacrifice the city. But Hou Weiqing knew the stubbornness of the Wu father and son, and was quite worried that Wu Yuanji would desperately leak it before the battle. Li Yu knew his intentions, and in order to worry about Hou Weiqing's family, he just sent someone to inform Yan Qin that Wu Yuanji had been caught, and after interrogation, he loaded Wu Yuanji and dozens of his entourage into a prisoner's car, escorted them to Lu Zhen in Xiangzhou, and wrote a letter explaining the reason. Due to too much detail, Li Wei did not take Hou Weiqing back to the camp, and when it was late, Hou Weiqing, who was hiding in a small forest, was notified by Li Yu. Hou Weiqing, who was grateful, took the more than 200 people selected out, but still had a bitter trick with Li Yu, and fled into Langshan the next morning in embarrassment. More than 200 other people changed into military uniforms with Li Yu to clear their identities.

For this reason, Li Yu also told Yan Qin to deal with it, break the city if there is a chance, besiege it if there is no chance to break the city, and don't attack and lose too many soldiers. At this time, Li Yu already knew the news of the battle, and sent the Huaixi military intelligence provided by Hou Weiqing to the Wuzhongyin camp, even if the three states were detoured, the north and south were only hundreds of miles, and they could probably be reached before the start of the Tianming battle. What a good time.

After interrogating Chen Guangqia again, who had been smashed to pieces and broken his muscles and bones, Li Yu was promoted to the next day and made a distribution. Ordered Li Jincheng, the assassin of Quantangzhou, who had just been recalled from Shenzhou City, to send 8,000 armor soldiers to Wenchengzha and surrender Wu Xiulin. Surrender does not succeed in the fight. Dong Shaojun, the ten generals of Shanhe and others, bypassed the Wencheng Gate to divide their troops to attack the Zhuzha. Ordered Dong Shaojun to attack Ma'anshan, and Ma Shaoliang to attack Shengshan Mountain.

Fu Ya and Tian Zhirong attacked the smelting furnace city, and then drove directly to Xiping. Yan Shirong attacked Baigou and Wengang Erzha. Wang Yi led an army to attack Chucheng. Paving the way for the march into Caizhou.

On the same day, when Dong Shaojun reported that he had captured Ma'anshan and uprooted the intersection gate, Li Jincheng's soldiers and horses had already surrounded Wencheng Gate in accordance with the standard military method of encircling three and missing one. In history, Wu Xiulin came as soon as she was summoned, but at this time, the war had just begun, and the Huaixi Army had not suffered a big loss, nor had it reached the point of exhaustion.

"Go and tell Li Jincheng that if you really catch General Wu, you will be escorted to let a certain person take a look. If you really want me to Wenchengzha, and see if he has the ability, ask him to let the horse come. But before letting the horse come, pee to see what you look like, save yourself from having no return, and go to hell and even be so scared that you can't remember what you look like. ”

Li Jincheng, who was furious, ordered to attack Wencheng Gate at that time, Wencheng Gate was in a dangerous location, the guards were all elite soldiers, food and grass weapons were sufficient, and arrows were raining down for a while, but Li Jincheng, who was attacking from the back, lost a lot of soldiers and horses. After getting the news, Li Yu led the pro-army to the front line, observed for a while, and said:

"Attack again, and then retreat."

When the officers and soldiers retreated like a tide, and then retreated to the garrison with their flags hanging their heads in despair, Wu Xiulin couldn't help but smile contemptuously. Wencheng Gate is naturally also full of jubilation. Sun Xianzhong, a general who has been saying goodbye to Chen Guangqia, took the opportunity to say to Wu Xiulin:

"Please let the last general lead five hundred cavalry to pursue, and Li Jincheng will be mentioned to see the general."

Wu Xiulin thought about it for a while and agreed to Sun Xianzhong's request. Not taking advantage of the victory to pursue, beating the water dogs is not the style of the Huaixi Army. However, Wu Xiulin is obviously much more realistic than Sun Xianzhong, and said:

"Just intercept his rear army, kill and wound more, and don't be greedy for merit and war. Twenty miles at most, no, fifteen miles to come back. ”

As a result, Sun Xianzhong chased for less than five miles, and saw a general in his thirties sitting on a bed on a hillside. But he didn't recognize it as Li Yu. Li Yu said to Li Jincheng on the side:

"Wu Xiulin is cautious, so she sent five hundred horsemen, but I'm afraid that this guy will only allow his subordinates to chase out fifteen miles."
