However, it was too late.

At this time, Li Gong had already occupied more than half of the original territory of Xu State, and several important grain-producing areas were in Li Xun's hands, plus the bumper harvest of autumn grain more than a month ago, giving Li Spring the most powerful military food supply. Yao Hei'er's iron ore is also becoming more and more prosperous, and the weapons he has built are constantly replenished to the army.

Under the tyrannical rule of Xu Jun, the people of Xu State had long been unbearable, and at this time they were willing to take out some of their belongings to support Li Xuan's army in attacking Xu State. Even in those cities that had not yet been occupied by Li Chun, there were often small-scale riots, and the soldiers often slipped away.

The guards of other cities in Xu State, in such a situation, are inevitably panicked and a little powerless.

Therefore, Du Xin, who led the troops again, although he was ambitious, was still forced to retreat by Li Gong, and finally trapped in Anshun Mansion, which was only more than 100 miles away from Hancheng.

At this time, Dusin was restless and anxious. He no longer has the calmness of Heyin Mansion. He knew that Anshun Mansion was the last line of defense in Hancheng, if he couldn't hold it, Xu Guo would cease to exist, and before Xu Guo fell, the first thing Long Yin did would be to kill his son who didn't understand people.

Although Du Bao is an idiot, he is also the only root of the Du family.

During the day, Li Xun's army carried out a powerful attack on Anshun Province, with drums rumbling and shouting to kill the heavens. The city wall in the northeast corner of Anshun Province was almost attacked. Dusin cut down three or four wounded soldiers who were about to retreat in one go, and rushed forward to throw the rolling wood and stones in person, barely containing the situation.

After Li Xuan's army temporarily retreated, Xing Xianhe, the Taishou of Anshun Mansion, commanded Yu Shi, found Du Xin, and said with a smile on his face: "General Du, just because the enemy army has been attacking the city for days, our soldiers are also extremely hard, for the injured soldiers, we should be more generous, this is also conducive to stabilizing the morale of the army, don't you say?" ”

Du Xin's eyes were like knives, and he slashed sharply across the faces of the two of them, and said coldly, "Two adults, do you mean that I killed a few deserters in the city?" If I hadn't killed those people, would the situation have stabilized? The two adults are afraid that they have become prisoners of the rebels at this time, right? ”

Xing Xian and Yu Shi glanced at each other, their faces became embarrassed, and they hurriedly said, "General, we didn't mean that." Just ......"

Du Xin waved his hand disdainfully and said, "Since it's not, let's ask the two adults to go back." Since the Holy One has sent me, the responsibility is naturally on me. If the two adults are idle and have nothing to do, they might as well prepare more defensive equipment, and they haven't eaten the court in vain! Otherwise, if Anshun Mansion can't stand it, we are afraid that we will all die! ”

The general's temperament was more anxious, and Yu Shi said with some annoyance, "General Du, according to your meaning, Master Xing and I are both eating dry rice?" Didn't the general see that we couldn't untie our clothes all day long, and we even slept with swords? ”

Du Xin glanced at the two arrogantly, and just as they were about to speak, Xing Xian was busy playing a round, because he said, "General Du, Commander Yu has no other meaning, since the beginning of this year, the war in the north has been tight, and we have prepared a lot of defensive equipment......"

Du Xin unceremoniously interrupted Xing Xian's words, and said mockingly, "Then go and take it out, no wonder you are still waiting for the Chinese New Year to cook dumplings to eat?" ”

Xing Xian's face turned purple, and he endured it for a long time before he said again, "It's just that because the war in the north is tight, most of the defensive equipment we prepared has been requisitioned to the northern city, and I didn't expect them to fight so quickly, so I ......."

Dusin snapped, slapped the sword he was wiping on the table, and said angrily, "According to you, is there no defensive equipment in the city?" According to you, when will the rebels come, and will they have to discuss with you? In two days, I'll want it, I don't care what you think! Get out! ”

Yu Shi couldn't bear it anymore, Xing Xian hurriedly pulled him and pulled him out half-pulled.

Out of Du Xin's courtyard, Yu Shi complained hatefully, "Lord Xing, what are you pulling me for?" According to my temperament, what can I do if I tear my face with this surnamed Du? He was losing ground on the front lines and retreated to us. It's good, it's time to show your majesty! Since he came, you gave him the office space, and he really thinks he is the boss?! ”

Xing Xian stroked his beard, shook his head, and sighed, "Alas! At this time, what's the use of being noisy? I watched the heavens at night, Jupiter retrograde to the celestial area where Taiweiyuan is located, entered through the east gate, and came out through the west gate......"

Yu Shi said impatiently, "Lord Xing, if you have anything to say, you know that I don't understand this, and I can't compare to you Wenchen!" ”

Xing Xian stroked his beard again, was silent for a while, and said quietly, "When I was young, I learned some fur from a Mr. astrology, and this astrology indicates ...... Foreshadowing ......"

Yu Shi's eyes widened, and he looked at Xing Xian and said, "What does it portend?" Say it quickly! ”

Xing Xian was silent for a long time, looked at the surroundings and saw that there was no one around, and said slowly, "It indicates that the country will perish!" ”

Xing Xian finished saying this slowly, and Yu Shi was motionless as if he had been enchanted.

After a long time, Yu Shi said in a low voice, "Lord Xing, according to you, we might as well ......"

Xing Xian nodded heavily.

The next day, another day of intense defensive battles. Li Gong's army has the highest fighting spirit.

I heard that Li Quan gave a heavy reward, the first to attack the city, the reward of 5,000 taels of gold, the second reward of 3,000 taels of gold, and the third reward of 1,000 taels of gold. The first 1,000 soldiers were rewarded with 100 taels of silver each.

Five thousand taels of gold! This is the wealth that these soldiers can't earn in a few lifetimes! They rushed upwards as if they were dying. The black city in front of them turned into a shining mountain of gold.

Dusin's defense was naturally more difficult.

He didn't have such a big deal as Li Gong, Xu Guo lost more than half of the city in a row, and his tax revenue was greatly reduced. In addition, for the wars against Jing and Yue a few years ago, the treasury has almost been emptied, and Xu Guo has long been unable to make ends meet, and it is impossible to come up with a large amount of military expenditure to let Du Xin reward his soldiers.

Therefore, all Dusin could do was to stand at the head of the city and frantically cut down the soldiers who were ready to retreat. The eyes of the soldiers were already full of hatred, not against Li Xuan's army, but against Du Xin behind them.

Quietly, a large net quietly opened behind Dusin, and suddenly, Dusin, who was caught off guard, was covered with a knife.

Instinctively, Dusin struggled desperately in the net, and two more soldiers pounced on him and snatched the knife from Dusin's hand.
