On the banks of the Tiebuga River, countless Tang soldiers began to dig the south bank to widen the river.

Although there hasn't been much water recently, which is convenient for them to move, it is still confusing.

Li Xuan rode across the riverbank, looked at Su Baotong on the side, and asked, "How is the situation upstream?" ”

"It's already in the dam to store water." Su Baotong followed behind Li Xuan and replied seriously: "According to the prince's request, in three days, the embankment will be completely built." ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded slightly, pressed his hand on the hilt of the eight-sided Han sword, and then looked up at Su Hegui, who had just arrived on the city wall.

He could clearly see the look of horror and fear in Su Hegui's eyes.

With a chuckle, Li Xuan turned around, and then quickly walked towards the camp.

Above the city, looking at the increasingly thin water in the course of the Tiebuga River, how could everyone present not know what Li Xuan wanted to do.

"Is he crazy, what good is it for him to destroy Fu Qi City?" Su Anxi, the main general who had just returned from the front line, was angry and angry, and when his huge fist waved, everyone around him was frightened and retreated several steps.

"Their food is insufficient, and since they can't feed the whole city, they simply destroy everyone in the city, so that they can go to fight against Tibet without any worries." Crimson came up from one side.

The thin figure seemed to be stoned to death immediately if he punched down.

Even Su Anxi retracted his fists in an instant.

Su Hegui looked at Chi Hongzang calmly, and said softly: "Brother Chi, what do you think. ”

"Don't dare." Crimson Zang's face was full of worry, looked at Su Hegui and said: "Duhu, since yesterday, there have been hundreds of families in the city who have not eaten a grain of rice, even if we wait for the family, the surplus of this grain is not more than three days, after three days, if there is no food supplement, then we will wait, I am afraid that we will starve to death." ”

"What else, you continue." Su Hegui looked at Chi Hongzang coldly.

With a "plop", the sixty-year-old Chihongzang knelt down directly in front of Su Hegui, and then bowed his head and bowed: "Dadu Hu, please, take out some of the food stored at home, so that the people of the whole city can survive." ”

With a "bang", Chi Hongzang had already slammed on the ground, and then "bang bang" knocked three or four times in a row, very sincere, choked and pleaded: "Most of you beg for protection, open a warehouse to help the people, otherwise we really won't be able to live." ”

Seeing this scene, Su Hegui suddenly felt cold all over his body.

Looking at Chi Hongzang, Su Hegui's eyes had already been staring deadly, as terrifying as wanting to eat people.

The people on the side witnessed this scene with their own eyes, and they were already extremely shocked.

Because since a few days ago, there have been rumors in the city that Su Hegui has stored a huge private warehouse at home, and a large amount of grain has been piled up in the warehouse, which is enough for the whole city to eat and drink for a month.

This news, the major families in the city were originally skeptical, after all, they all knew that as long as there was an official and a half-job, no one did not go to their own home to make a big profit, not to mention the protection of Su and Gui, and the private collection at home did not know how many times more than ordinary people.

But although this is true, if he said that he had enough food to eat and drink in the whole city for a month, then I am afraid that not many people would believe it.

But now, Chihongzang fell to his knees and pleaded sincerely, hoping that Su Hegui would open a warehouse to help the people, confirming that he did have a large amount of grain in his home.

In an instant, everyone's eyes looking at Su Hegui were full of hatred and longing.

With a "bang", the benevolent gift on one side had already knelt down, and then prostrate on the ground, and said very earnestly: "Please protect the people in the capital." ”

Like dominoes, someone started to start, and everyone knelt down one after another, and at the same time sincerely called: "Please open a warehouse to help the people." ”

"You, you ......" Su Anxi looked at everyone kneeling in front of him in shock and anger, and his hand was already tightly gripping the hilt of the knife.

Su Hegui didn't pay attention to others, just stared straight at Chi Hongzang, and said softly: "Brother Chi, since that incident, the old man has never treated you badly, why do you want to do this today?" ”

"Dadu Hu, in the current situation, either we will kneel down and beg to the king of Nanchang, or surrender to Murong Nuo, but no matter what, the required grain and grass must be dispatched from the Tang Court, and if there is something back then, how can the Tang Court treat me sincerely.

At that time, we will wait to hand over the blade, but we can't exchange it for food, and finally stretch our necks to be cut by others, it is better to grit our teeth and persevere, wait for Tubo to defeat the Tang Dynasty, and then survive. Crimson Tibetan looked sad, who can do the current situation.

"In this way, you go to see the king of Nanchang, and he didn't promise you to surrender." The corners of Su Hegui's mouth pursed a sneer, he has controlled Fu Qi City for more than ten years, and any wind and grass in the city cannot hide from his eyes, although Chi Hongzang and the others do things secretly, but every move is under his watch.

"The king of Nanchang has no food in his hands." Crimson Zang sighed deeply, and finally looked at the Tang army outside the city, and said softly: "It is precisely because of this that he began to expand the river, waiting for the raging river to wash away the city; After all, if the city is really full of dead corpses and plagues everywhere, he doesn't want such a city. ”

A sentence of dead bodies everywhere and plague everywhere, everyone present couldn't help but shudder.

At this time, everyone looked at the city again, and immediately understood that Li Xuan was not planning to use the flood to collapse the city, but to clean the city.

The next moment, everyone present, except for Su Hegui, Su Anxi, and Gui Runuo, all knelt down, and even all the people who were close to the Su family also sincerely prayed: "Please also take care of mercy." ”

Su Hegui stood there, and for a moment, it seemed that he heard the entire city, and everyone was shouting: "Please also protect the mercy of the capital." ”

Countless voices echoed in Su Hegui's mind, giving him a little headache for a while.

After a long time, Su Hegui finally couldn't help waving his hand and said: "Go ahead, open the warehouse and release the grain, drag it out day by day, and tell the north that from today onwards, the daily military ration will be doubled, and the Murong clan must be blocked." ”

For today's Fu Qi City, although Li Xuan is constantly digging trenches, not many people believe that he really dares to open the floodgates to release water, unless Chen Zhong is already dead and full of plague, so he will use the flood to clean everything.

Therefore, only by blocking the army of the Murong clan, opening a warehouse and releasing grain, and then gritting their teeth and waiting for the Tubo people to defeat the Tang Dynasty, so that they can have a glimmer of life.

But the premise is that there must not be too many people in the city to die, otherwise the king of Nanchang will get rid of the constraints of human ethics and directly break the dam and discharge the flood.

"Daddy." Su Anxi was about to say something more, but when he saw Su Hegui waving his hand, he said lightly: "Go ahead and do it." ”

Su Hegui turned around and looked at Li Xuan under the city, and sighed in his heart: That person, is he really just waiting for the food in the city to run out?

……

"It's been three days."

Li Xuan rode in front of the tent, with a dark night sky overhead, and there was no wind in the four fields.

He turned his head to look to the north and asked in a low voice, "How long will it take for the Governor of Anle Prefecture to arrive in Fuqi City?" ”

"Back to the prince, in recent days, the resistance of the Tuyuhun people has been very strong, and the army under Zuo Xiaowei is moving very slowly, and it will take six or seven days to kill Fu Qi City." Cui Ding rode forward and arched his hand, his expression solemn.

"He's still so hesitant and indecisive." Li Xuan snorted coldly with disdain, and then said: "Order, tell General Zuo Xiaowei that this king will wait for him for three days, and within three days, if he doesn't arrive, then there is no need to arrive." ”

"Whoa!" Su Baotong immediately bowed down, then turned around and quickly arranged.

"Are you all ready?" Li Xuan turned sideways.

Cui Ding and Nanju bowed their hands at the same time: "Lord Wang, everything is ready." ”

"Alright, let's go into the city." Li Xuan gave an order, and immediately, two thousand right guards and right guard cavalry immediately headed towards the city gate like a torrent.

The wooden planks had already been built into a bridge, and everyone followed behind Li Xuan and slowly walked towards the city gate.

All the horses were wrapped in black cloth under their feet, and all sounds were silenced as much as possible.

There was no sound at the gates, as if no one was on duty tonight.

Standing under the city gate, Li Xuan could smell a clear and strong smell of blood, as for where this smell of blood came from, he didn't have to ask.

With a "squeak", the city gate opened in the darkness, and two torches illuminated both sides of the gate, one on the left and one on the right.

The two who couldn't see their faces clearly didn't say much, just bowed to Li Xuan, and then took the lead in walking towards the city.

Li Xuan gently urged the horse, and then entered the city of Fu Qi.

Cui Ding and Nanju looked around vigilantly, as if there were countless ambushes in the darkness.

High above his head, a gray eagle was hovering incessantly, and he had been hovering in the sky since it got dark tonight.

Everything in the city is under its watch.

When the left guard entered the city, he immediately ascended to the city gate and quickly occupied every corner of the east gate.

Li Xuan calmly walked forward to the left, and where he passed, he could hear exclamations from the room from time to time, but then immediately annihilated nothingness.

In the alleys on both sides, I don't know how many black shadows are moving forward, and any possible hidden dangers have been completely eliminated in silence.

In the whole city, I don't know how many such people there are.

Countless Tang cavalry on the central street calmly rode towards the center of the city.

It was originally the location of the Tibetan royal palace, but now it has become the capital palace, and even the entire Su family lives in it.

An inner city, an inner city like a royal palace.

The walls are so high that they cut off the eyes of outsiders from looking inward, as well as from the inside, especially after someone has betrayed them, and everything happens silently and terrifyingly.

In the entire inner city, the lights were still bright in the darkness, as if they were not really aware of the impending crisis in the outside world.

In silence, Li Xuan was already standing in front of the inner city of the Su family, and two thousand cavalry had slowly surrounded the entire inner city.

Make sure that once activated, no one in the entire inner city will escape alive.

With a "squeak", the tall city gate opened, and a bloody breath suddenly rushed out.

Immediately, a figure appeared at the door, holding a long knife in his hand, covered in blood, which was a benevolent gift.

Seeing Li Xuan, his eyes were full of excited benevolence, the fire in his eyes was extinguished, and then he bowed to Li Xuan: "Welcome to the king." ”

Li Xuan smiled and looked at the mansion.

Out of sight, countless killings are quietly taking place.
