Liu Ye and Shi Xiong led the army through Jiangyou City and went straight to Yizhou. Yizhou City was under martial law, and Xue Shang did not come out.

Liu Ye sent Pei Wen to call for battle under the city, Pei Wen patted the horse and came to the city, and he liked to do provocative things.

"Listen to the fathers and villagers in the city, we are the army of the imperial court, and we are here to appease the good people and punish the traitors." After Pei asked, he shot an arrow towards the city tower.

The arrow bears a letter written by willow leaves to the inhabitants of the city. Xue Shang led his men to the castle tower. Xue Shang listened to Pei Wen gushing about the policy of the imperial court, and if he laid down his arms, he would be able to deal with leniency. We are against the disobedient, not against you.

Xue Shang bent his bow and shot arrows, Liu Ye stretched his bow and set up arrows, and the arrows shot out and Xue Shang's arrows converged in the air. Xue Shang shot the arrow again, and Liu Ye followed, each time it was the tip of the needle against Mai Mang.

Xue Shang said loudly on the city tower: "Liu Ye, we have always followed the rules in the southwest, what is the so-called matter of you leading troops to press the border this time." Could it be that the matter of us writing a letter to ask for a posthumous stay is also worthy of the imperial court's mobilization of teachers. ”

Willow; "I understand that Xue Shang is sincere, please open the city gate and let the army enter the city. This is your sincerity, not bargaining with the court. ”

Xue Shang sneered, "The imperial army spends 10,000 gold every day, is it out to enjoy the mountains and rivers?" Don't coax the military and civilians of the Southwest. If you are willing to stay, you will protect Yizhou outside the city. ”

Zhang Xing's bones arrived, and Zhang Fa shouted to the soldiers on the city tower: "My brother Zhang Xing is here, let my brother be buried in the ground." ”

Xue Shang ordered the soldiers to lower the ropes and take Zhang Xing's body to the city. Zhang Fa climbed the rope and returned to Yizhou City with his brother.

The city of Yizhou is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the key is that Xue Shang is prepared, and there is plenty of grain and grass. The inhabitants did not have the idea that the fire at the city gate would affect the fish in the pond.

Liu Ye and Shi Xiong ordered the soldiers to camp on the spot. Rest for the day, and tomorrow morning they will take the initiative.

Zhang Fa went into the city with his brother. Xue Shang personally carried Zhang Xing's body down the city tower. He sent his men to Xianglan to report the news.

Xianglan got the bad news, and she couldn't stand up at that time and fell to the ground. Zhang Fa saw his sister-in-law and nephew for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel sad.

"Sister-in-law, I am Zhang Fa, the second brother of my brother. You have to think more about your nephew. Zhang Fa knelt in front of his sister-in-law, and his little nephew looked at him timidly, a little unable to accept the sudden change.

Pandan has no other relatives except Fengjiao. The little uncle who appeared in front of him now, the person who claimed to be Zhang Xing's brother, was far less trustworthy than Feng Jiao in Xianglan's heart.

Xue Shang tied a belt around his waist and knelt in the mourning hall to guard Zhang Xing's spirit. He interrogated the soldier carefully, and the soldier relayed a sentence that made it impossible for Xue Shang to blame Zhang Xing for his actions.

"I can't live up to the righteousness, I can't live up to the brotherhood, I can only live up to myself." Zhang Xing's original words are like this.

Xue Shang stood in front of the spiritual seat and muttered to himself: "Zhang Xing, are you smart or confused? Should I be glad to have made such a brother as you, or should I hate to have a brother like you? ”

From the time Xianglan learned of Zhang Xing's bad news to kneeling in front of the mourning hall to keep a watch, she didn't get a drop of water for a few days. The son is sensible, and he stays by his mother's side, mourning and crying, and comforting his mother.

Zhang Fa also stayed in front of the spiritual seat, he and Xue Shang were two opposing parties, but the deceased was the greatest, even if it was opposite, let Zhang Xing finish the last journey with peace of mind, and the two still followed the route of peaceful coexistence.

Zhang Fa: "Xue Shang, you, I don't understand, why my brother doesn't want to live up to you, he would rather live up to his parents, wife and children." ”

XUE Shang; "Your brother is a fool, a big fool." Xue Shang smiled and burst into tears.

The side outside the city, holding its ground, originally planned to start digging the tunnel the next day, but Yanagiha and Ishio suggested: "We don't care about three or five days to attack the city. When Zhang Xing is settled, it is not too late for us to do it. ”

Shi Xiong wondered; "Liu Ye, the soldiers are not tired of cheating, this is a battlefield, not a bazaar or a library, pay attention to courtesy and exchanges, pay attention to benevolence, righteousness and integrity."

Liu Ye: "Benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, there is also an unwritten rule on the battlefield, when there is a funeral, of course, people say that the monarch is mourning, and the two sides cannot take advantage of the danger of others to capture the country of national mourning." Otherwise, it will be considered a kingdom that has lost its morality. ”

SHI Xiong; "Liu Ye, you also said that it is a national funeral, and a middle- and lower-level officer holds a funeral, should we also strike the army and make a truce."

Liu Ye: "General, we came here almost bloodless today, and Zhang Xing's contribution is indispensable." He destroyed Himself and perfected us. He is a righteous man, and is he not worthy of our respect and preservation? ”

Shi Xiong still can't agree with Liu Ye's point of view in his heart, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, seize the opportunity, whoever seizes the opportunity first will win the initiative. But Liu Ye insisted on his opinion, and Shi Xiong compromised.

He didn't understand the holiday connection between Liu Ye, Xue Shang, and Zhang Xing. Willow leaves handwritten a stack of letters, and shot arrows into the city.

The letterhead said that we respect Zhang Xing as a righteous man, and the three-day strike was a smooth progress for Zhang Xing's funeral. We are teachers of benevolence and righteousness, advocating morality and carrying forward morality. Yunyun.

Many citizens circulated the letterhead, which was sincere and touching. There were ranger men in the city who rushed to tell each other, saying that the army of benevolence and righteousness was outside the city gate, and the guards in the city did not let them enter the city.

Shi Xiong praised Liu Ye's heart-attacking technique, it turned out that he was not completely willful and went to the army to fight. He now understands the deep meaning behind the willow leaves.

There is a moat outside the city of Yizhou, and if you dig a tunnel, you have to pass through the moat. Jiang Yao offered a plan: "Dongshuang and I can fly the eaves and walk the wall, sneak into the city, and then take the opportunity to contact the Li family in the city." ”

Liu Ye objected: "You can fly the eaves and walk the wall, your martial arts are strong, these are not the reasons for you to take risks alone." Xue Shang in Yizhou City is not incompetent, he will not wait for you to explore without defense. Two fists are hard to beat four hands. ”

Jiang Yao had no choice but to give up the idea of secretly spying on the enemy camp. Shi Xiong: "We can attack the city once, test Xue Shang's reality and see how strong the bond between the soldiers and Xue Shang is." ”

Yanagiba agrees with Shi Xiong's plan. Only when the two sides fight each other can they detect each other's strength.

Feng Jiao was in the city, she didn't want Xue Shang's trick to succeed, so she handed over her to the maid, brought her hood herself, and didn't let people follow, so she rented a car to Shan Guangtai's mansion.

Everything his father gave him back then, Feng Jiao wanted to use this war to take it back from Xue Shang's body. She personally went out of the horse, from a weak woman, to the forefront of protecting the country and her family.

Shan Guangtai was not in Shan Mansion, and he inquired about all kinds of news in the teahouse. Feng Jiao handed over the prayer post and wrote to Li Fengjiao to ask to see him. The servant informed Feng Jiao that Gongzi was not at home and his whereabouts were uncertain, and he would hand over the prayer note for her and let her come back tomorrow.
