Chapter 205: Hou Cheng's Past

As soon as his words fell, the corners of Fan Kuan and Xiahou Yuan's lips rose slightly, and they followed one to the west and the other to the east, and began to help their soldiers defend the city in the city, and the enemy army.

And there are also countless soldiers, sappers climbed up, defended the defense, repaired the city defense equipment.

Fu Bang didn't make a move, he just looked at Yan Chou in the command position of the enemy's Chinese army with a smile, the three knives flashed with a cold glow, shining, and in a trance, there was a bit of provocation.

Yan Chou's pupils shrank, and his heart suddenly sank, but he was thinking about how to deal with such a powerful cultivator as Fu Bang.

As the sun set and night fell, the dust finally settled on the first battle of the Xuzhou battlefield.

Under the strong attack of Ji Yu, Liu, Guan, Zhang and Ling Yue, and under the exquisite command of Han Xing, there was not much loss on their side, but on the side of Lu Wenhou, compared to them, it was really a bit of a heavy loss.

Ji Yu failed to kill Lin Qi in the end, not because the Tengyun Immortal Crane was too fast, but because of some of Lin Qi's methods.

Thinking about those methods, his face was a little heavy, it turned out that the Lin family in Xichu was this Lin family, and it was a little interesting to be in love with the state.

At this time, the three brothers Han Xing, Ling Yue, Long Jia, Bai Wuchang, Liu, Guan, and Zhang were all in the city, but the young man from the city within the city was always by his side.

Ji Yu asked: "If you want to attack and kill Lu Wen and them, the cost is too great and it takes too long, although Yuan Chu's subordinates do not have too strong cultivators, but he has a lot of troops, and it is not easy to kill Yuan Chu." ”

"If, when we fight Lu Wenhou, we waste too many troops, and when the time comes, it will not be easy to deal with Yuan Chu. ”

There was silence for a while, many of them were only martial artists, not good at strategy.

Of course, Lingyue is not a martial artist, just a sword, and the sword will only solve the problem in the most direct way, and the most direct way is to fight head-on.

At this moment, Ji Yu suddenly turned his head to look at Han Xing, and said with a smile: "What do you think we should do to break the enemy?"

Han Xing thought about it seriously and said: "Xuzhou is low, but their water source is at a high place, if the water source collapses, it can flood Xuzhou, and then use the people's hearts, Lu Wenhou's strength will inevitably be reduced by two-thirds." ”

His words woke up many people.

However, Ji Yu didn't have any expression, but there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and said: "You think the same as I think, I also think that it will be better to attack with water, and then use people's hearts to break Lu Wenhou." ”

"Moreover, the person who is now guarding the army of Lu Wenhou is called Hou Cheng. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all slightly stunned.

Of course they know who Hou Cheng is, Hou Cheng is Ding Yuan's adopted son, and Ding Yuan treats him well and treats him as his own.

The water source of the Xuzhou army is from a high mountain called "Pi Mountain" behind the city of Xiapi County, the water source is clear, and it is very suitable for military spring water.

At this time, Hou Cheng's army was camped on the mountain, guarding the water source.

With a blank face, he led the soldiers to grill the well-beaten game, catch the fish, put the spices, and drink the fine wine, which was completely in stark contrast to the tension at the front.

It's as if any war on the front line has nothing to do with him.

At this moment, a young man in Xuanyi suddenly appeared beside him without knowing when, and he consciously grabbed a grilled fish and ate it with relish.

The soldiers next to him drew their swords one after another, surrounded them, and looked at the mysterious boy who suddenly appeared.

Hou Cheng was also taken aback, quickly stood up, and took a few steps back in embarrassment.

By the bright bonfire, he saw a very beautiful face, remembered the rumor of the Hou Han, and knew the identity of the person who came.

He rubbed his eyes and exclaimed in disbelief: "Ji Yu!"

At the same time, great fear swept over his heart, making his limbs weak.

Compared to Lu Wenhou, he is too weak, let alone Ji Yu, who is like a monster and a first-class martial artist.

It was hard for him to imagine that he was just a logistics general guarding the water source in the rear, a person who had nothing to do with it, but he would face Shang Ji Yu.

As a result, cold sweat hung down his cheeks and wet his back.

Ji Yu took a sip of Huadiao wine, looked at the faces around him as if he was facing a great enemy, and felt a little interesting, so he explained with a smile: "I'm not here to kill you. ”

When Hou Cheng heard this, the tension in his heart decreased a little, but he still didn't dare to relax, because what he was facing was Ji Yu of the Later Han Dynasty, the only person who could defeat Lu Wenhou.

Ji Yu felt the emotions of the soldiers around him and Hou Cheng, and didn't care, but asked such a question.

"What did you think when Lu Wenhou killed Ding Yuan?"

Hou Cheng was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Ji Yu to ask such a question, his mind was stretched far away by this question, and the pain and hatred in his eyes couldn't help but be revealed.

But in an instant, he realized his gaffe, and the pain and hatred in his eyes disappeared.

He took a deep breath and said calmly: "The past is all in the wind, it has become a thing of the past, there is no need to mention it again, and it is useless to mention it." ”

Ji Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with a meaningful smile: "Is the past really so easy to let go?"

Hou Cheng was stunned again, he calmed down his mood, and asked with some uncertainty: "General Ji Yu, are you here to talk to me about life?"

Ji Yu shook his head and said, "I'm here to hope that you will help me a few favors, and then I will destroy this water source!"

Hou Cheng lost his mind again, and after a while, he came back to his senses and said with some surprise: "You actually want to flood Xuzhou City?"

Ji Yu nodded undeniably and said, "Not bad, but I hope you can help me." ”

Hou Cheng felt that this sentence was a little ridiculous, so he asked with a smile, "Why should I help you?"

Ji Yu said: "Because, you help me avenge Ding Yuan, don't you want to repay his nurturing grace, if there is no Ding Yuan, will you be Hou Cheng now?"

"But Lu Wenhou took Ding Yuan's life, look at Lu Wenhou, now he has a beauty in his arms, and for a woman, he has to fight to the death with me. ”

"Maybe at this time in his eyes, the lives of countless soldiers and brothers are not as important as Butterfly Dance alone, you don't believe it, you can say bad things about Butterfly Dance and give it a try. ”

After hearing these words, not only Hou Cheng was silent, but many soldiers around him lowered their heads, because what Ji Yu said at this time was the truth.

Hou Cheng thought about it, looked around at the soldiers, and thought of his father-in-law Ding Yuan, and also thought of Lu Wenhou and Butterfly Dance, and many things, and the grief in his eyes seemed to overflow.

The pain in his eyes includes the pain of losing a loved one, and the pain of hating iron but not steel, but it hurts.

But in the end, these emotions in Hou Cheng's eyes were replaced by a decisive decision like a sword.

He asked, "What do you need me to do?"

The soldiers around were slightly surprised, but when they thought about the situation in Xuzhou, Lu Wenhou's actions were relieved.

Ji Yu finished gnawing on the roast rabbit leg, drank the bowl of Huadiao wine, stood up, stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the stout mountain spring like a river, and said with a slight smile: "I don't need you to do anything special, I just need you to prove that Lu Wenhou is not worthy of so many people to be born and die for him, it's enough." ”17
