The small guardhouse, on weekdays, only a hundred household chiefs led people to guard, after the slave did an accident, Ma Dudu came to transfer troops, most of the soldiers and horses and baggage were taken away by the Ma family, it stands to reason that there are only a dozen people left at most.

The deputy general who received Li Xu's order to attack the guard, even thought that he could take down the guardhouse without blood, but he didn't expect that so many people appeared on the dilapidated city wall, and these people were still laughing at Gongzi unscrupulously.

Everyone knows the identity of Gongzi, and no one dares to say anything about "Jian Shengzi", not only because they have long followed Prince Jian, but also because Gongzi killed those defecting generals when he was in Chang'an, and there is already a deterrent, in their hearts, Gongzi is the only son of Prince Jian, and he is King Jian who should be recognized by the Great Zhou court.

The piercing laughter made everyone indignant, and the lieutenant took a bow and shot arrows, and went straight to the person who had just spoken, and the person standing on the tower immediately bowed his head and hid behind the city wall.

When the arrow fell, the man said again, "Look, I'll just say, and I was really angry." ”

The adjutant general turned his head to look at Li Xu, and prepared to lead his troops to attack the city, slaughtering all the people on the city wall, and letting them know the consequences of slandering Gongzi.

"There is no royal family, I really think that I am a relative of the royal family, King Jian didn't take him to heart, so many people who don't have long eyes, they have to follow him with all their hearts, I know a secret, do you want to listen to it......"

The lieutenant thought that the man was about to say something unpleasant, but at that moment a wave of feathered arrows fell from the wall without warning.

Everyone immediately dodged and resisted, and some of the soldiers were shot by arrows without reacting, and immediately fell to the ground.

The adjutant general's face sank suddenly, and he ordered the soldiers: "Drag the wounded back and ...... quickly" The people on the city wall were so shameless and used such a method to harm them.

"Hahaha, seeing that you don't blush when you lie, I thought your skin was thick enough to be invulnerable, but it still doesn't work!"

"Childe," the lieutenant finally couldn't hold back, "give the order for us to attack the city, and I will take that person's head and serve it to Childe." ”

"How's it going, can't hold it anymore?"

The voices of the people on the city tower were particularly loud, so far away but they could still be heard clearly, the deputy general only felt that he was about to be blown up, where did he come from, he didn't say any rules, and he began to release cold arrows when he spoke, and he was afraid of being killed, but he was still ashamed to say those words.

Li Xu's expression was indifferent, obviously the words of that person did not have any impact on him, he looked at the situation in the guard house with clear eyes: "Don't be careless, there are at least a thousand households in this guard house. ”

"You are still not from Zhou," the people on the city wall shouted again, "the enemy is now, but he is attacking his comrades, what face will he face his father and fellow villagers in the future."

If you still have some blood, you should pick up a sharp weapon to deal with the Tatars and protect the people of the Great Zhou, don't forget who is supporting you, obviously the people sent by the court to capture the thief, but instead followed the thief to rebel together, the body of the anti-thief King Jian has been buried in the ground, but you are still obsessed, believing that there is a son of King Jian.

The imperial relatives of the Great Zhou Dynasty are working in Nu'er, but they are all resisting the Tatars, not committing rebellion, if you don't want to believe it, I can take you to the trouble of Hewei to have a look. ”

Zhang Feng finished his words in one breath, but he really suffocated him, no matter where he was, he had to speak quietly, and he would be reprimanded for making a little loud movement, saying that he had a "big mouth", where was his mouth big, in order to survive, he had already whispered, so he almost sewed his mouth up, thanks to such an errand, he was finally able to enjoy himself.

Try it out at Ma Zheng's place, and when he arrives here, it is his world, according to Li Xu's reaction speed, he feels that he can say a few more words.

"Zhang Qianhu, they're coming."

Zhang Feng's spirit is in a daze, he is so bitter, these people are still unwilling to get lost, it is really rotten wood that cannot be carved.

"Stop them," Zhang Feng said, "It's not so easy to cross this city." ”

The adjutant general led his troops to begin the siege, and within a few moments, a scout came and said, "Childe, another man and horse rushed out from the guard post next to him and came this way." ”

Li Xu asked, "Whose soldiers and horses are they?" ”

"It's the banner of the Ma family."

Ma Dudu did not stay at those guards, but intercepted him here, Song Chengxuan was really afraid that he would break through the pass and leave, Li Xu's eyes were slight, he went north from here, and Song Chengxuan would not be able to continue to chase after him, which indirectly confirmed his guess that was right, Song Chengxuan was pinned down by the Tatars, and he did not dare to go too far from the difficult river guard.

"Break the city with all your might," Li Xu commanded, "regardless of the cost." He also has to cooperate with Song Chengxuan, so that Song Chengxuan thinks that he is now bent on avoiding trouble.

The sound of horses' hooves and the sound of fighting are everywhere, and there is a battlefield as far as the eye can see.

It was getting dark.

How many lives are under our feet.

In addition to attacking the city, he also had to deal with the Ma family, although Li Xu brought a lot of soldiers and horses, he made slow progress under the containment.

In the blink of an eye, there was a river of blood.

"Childe, someone sent a letter from Fengxiang, saying that it was your teacher, Master Su."

Li Xu raised his eyes: "Bring people here!" ”

The steward of the Su family was taken to Li Xu, and when he saw the scene in front of him, the old steward came back to his senses for a while: "Li ......" He thought about it and changed his words, "Nine ......"

The old steward didn't know what to call Li Xu, if Li Xu was the heir of Prince Jian, he shouldn't be surnamed Li, and naturally he couldn't be called the Ninth Master.

"Call me the way you did." Li Xu said lightly.

The steward bowed his head: "The master ordered me to come to see the ninth master, and ask the ninth master if he has any grievances, if the ninth master is harmed by someone and has to do this, the master will try every means to avenge the ninth master, and the ninth master must not go to a dead end." ”

The steward looked at the battlefield as he spoke, he was still a step too late, Li Xu led the troops to attack the guard, which was to lead people to rebel, which obviously had no room for turnaround.

The steward raised his sleeve and rubbed the corner of his eyes: "When the master heard about the ninth master, he fell ill in anxiety, and wrote a letter to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to find out the truth...... Ordered me to come again, Yongping Mansion was guarded by the imperial court officers and soldiers, I used the master's name, and it took a lot of trouble to enter the slave to do it, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it......"

The steward was very sad, for Li Xu and because of the war in front of him.

"You go back," Li Xu said, "tell the teacher that you don't have to rush for me anymore, my business is a foregone conclusion, and I can only move forward." ”

After Li Xu finished speaking, he instructed the deputy general to send it to the steward to wrap up.

The steward took two steps forward with his things, but turned around again: "Li Jiuye, do you remember what you said in front of the master back then?" You said that you would be a good official who would ask for the lives of the people and not be afraid of power, how did you come to this road?

Little Lao'er doesn't understand these things, but on the way here, I saw a lot of homeless people...... And those soldiers who died in battle, aren't they all from our Great Zhou?

Can you change your mind and stop moving forward? ”

Li Xu didn't speak, but glanced at the deputy general beside him, and the deputy general stepped forward and took the Su family steward.

The steward of the Su family said as he walked: "Why is this happening, how is this happening...... How am I going to tell my master...... I'm late, what face do you have to see the master...... I ......"

The figure of the steward faded away.

After a while, the lieutenant turned around and whispered: "Childe, the steward didn't leave, he hanged himself under a tree, and it was too late for me to find out that something was wrong." ”

When Li Xu heard such news, his expression changed slightly: "Did he say anything?" ”

The adjutant said: "The steward said that he was late, ashamed of Lord Su, I don't know how to explain to Lord Su after I go back, I thought he would inevitably have mood swings when he saw the war for the first time, but I didn't expect him to find a way to die." ”

Just because he couldn't explain to the teacher and wanted to die, Li Xu turned his head to look at the struggling guards of the guard, he never thought that such an inconspicuous steward would have such a choice.

"You said that you would be a good official who asks for the lives of the people and is not afraid of power, how did you come to this road?"

He couldn't answer, he just blamed the world for its impermanence.

"Childe, there are soldiers and horses to help us," the adjutant general stretched out his hand to the west, "maybe the man left for you by the prince." ”
