Look at Ruyin again.

The city of Ruyin was besieged for three months. During this period, Liu Mang also launched several siege battles, but all ended in failure. With the support of all the soldiers and civilians, Shu Yan resisted stubbornly and swore to defend this lonely city. He didn't know how long he would last, or what the outcome would be.

It is uncomfortable to be besieged, and Liu Mang, who is besieging the city, is also uncomfortable, and it seems that he can't afford it. Because Ruyin was originally a third-rate county, not only Liu Mang, but even A Zhuang did not take it seriously. However, the neighboring big country Runan has been conquered for many days, and one Ruyin City cannot be attacked, so angry that Liu Mang and A Zhuang gritted their teeth but were helpless.

"Everyone else is constantly attacking the city, but we are stagnant in Ruyin, which makes me how can I hold my head up in front of the generals of the Han Dynasty!" The sun has slanted to the west mountain, Liu Mang and A Zhuang stood outside the camp, looking at the Ruyin City close at hand and sighing.

"We have been besieged for three months in a row, no matter how capable he Shu Yan is, the grain and grass are always limited, and when the time comes, the grain and grass in the city will be cut off, just like Sima Yezhi in Chang'an, without our action, he himself will go out of the city and surrender." Ah Zhuang was originally a radical, but his radicalism was of no use to take down Ruyin, so he had to comfort Liu Mang like this.

"How long will it take? One month? Two months? Or half a year? Shu Yan has always been strategic, and he has always been far-sighted, and the devil knows how much war preparation he has made! We can wait another month, two months, but what if it is half a year, we will continue to spend it like this? You know, my other brothers can take a city every month, and if I really want to stay here for half a year, even if I take Ruyin City, what face will I have! ”

"Or—my king will go and get some reinforcements?"

"And the face to ask for reinforcements? Originally, people were attacking the city, and the terrain was like a bamboo, who would lend me soldiers here for nothing? Don't borrow any more soldiers, even those soldiers that were borrowed some time ago will be transferred back after a long time! ”

"Hey!" Ah Zhuang clenched his fists indignantly and helplessly, "Now that their emperor Sima Ye has surrendered, the Jin family has collapsed. This Ruyin is like a lost dog, the owner is gone, what is he Shu Yan still stubbornly resisting! Huh—" Ah Zhuang suddenly remembered, "We blocked the city, didn't Shu Yan know that their emperor had surrendered in Chang'an?" Why don't we tell him, maybe after hearing this news, he will see that there is no point in holding on, and he will probably open the city and surrender in frustration! ”

Liu Mang laughed and said, "You still don't know Shu Yan. He is a loyal and righteous person, even if the Jin family is exterminated, he will regard us as traitors, and will not serve us as the master, how can he surrender! ”

"Damn!" Ah Zhuang sighed angrily and turned his head to the side to look at the mountains in the distance. Who knew that this unintentional turn of his head surprised him: "King, look! He was a little overwhelmed with horror.

"What's wrong?" Listening to Ah Zhuang's flustered tone, what else could he have besides an urgent enemy situation? Liu Mang thought it was Shu Yan who came out of the city to sneak attack, and hurriedly followed Ah Zhuang's point. There was no movement of the Ruyin soldiers at all, but they were equally stunned. But on the edge of the clear sky and thin clouds, there were three suns juxtaposed. Originally, a sun appeared on the left and right sides of the Great Round Day, and although it was not very round, it was also shining brightly. And there is a brilliant halo that connects the two suns, forming a huge circle of light centered on the middle circle.

"Three days together!"

At the same time, the rest of the tent saw this incredible elephant and were dumbfounded.

In people's cognition, as long as the vision is lowered, it will inevitably indicate that something great will happen. Although there may be good luck and bad luck, in most cases it is inevitable to cause panic, especially for those in high positions.

"Sending down the vision of mercy, is it because the general wants to protect Shu Yan and wants me to withdraw my troops?" Liu Mang can conquer the city and slaughter the city, but what he is most afraid of is that he will attack Ruyin for a long time, plus the anomaly. At this moment, he was dazed and frightened.

Ah Zhuang was also frightened by this elephant. Liu Mang is a noble son who has read poetry and books to understand the past and the present, and he is so panicked, he is a reckless man from an illiterate background, and he is even more at a loss. But he was absolutely not in favor of withdrawing troops. Suddenly, he clapped his hands and said: "How did the king forget, the day before yesterday, there were several Jin people in our army who came to defect, and among them was a warlock who claimed to be proficient in hexagrams and unpredictable prophets, why don't you ask him to ask for understanding?" ”

"Zhuge Warlock? How did I forget him, send him quickly. ”

Suddenly, Zhuge Warlock was transmitted. This Zhuge Warlock is the one who tricked Zhixin to Luoyang. Originally, he was a doorman raised by Shi Dagongzi. He once tried to destroy the great affairs of the lord of Biyu under the instruction of Shi Mu. Who knows, but he was found out by Shi Hui, and then he was searched for in the whole city. So he sneaked out of Luoyang City to avoid the limelight. Later, the Shi family was defeated, and there was no backer, and he couldn't go back to Luoyang City, so he only wandered around and got to know some people who had forgotten their ancestors. At the beginning of Liu Yuan's army, they betrayed the Great Jin Dynasty and concentrated on working hard for the Xiongnu. This time he traveled to Ruyin, and he came to Liu Mang.

"A warlock should be the most observant, how to interpret the vision of mercy?" Liu Mang seemed to ask in the tone of Corporal Lixian.

Zhuge Warlock was a little apprehensive. He defected to Liu Mang for many days, but he was never taken seriously, and he was looking for an opportunity to show it in order to gain a solid position. Today's opportunity is here, and of course you can't miss it.

"Back to the king, since ancient times, there will be a vision in the world. The Jin family has no virtue, especially since Emperor Hui, earthquakes, solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, comets and other visions are frequent, which is a sign of its demise. However, the phenomenon of three days rising at the same time is really rare. ”

"Does Shang intend to protect Shu Yan, and indicate that this king should withdraw his troops?"

"No, no." Zhuge Warlock bowed, "The king, please forgive me for being abrupt." The sun is the aspect of the extreme yang, the supreme of universality, and can only correspond to the signs of the master. Although the king is a nobleman, he is not qualified to respond to this omen, so the king should not think about his own body, and he must not withdraw his army, so that his achievements will fall short. ”

After listening to this explanation, Liu Mang felt a little relieved, and then asked: "Since the sun is universal, there should be only one, but now there are three days shining together, how can this be explained?" ”

"The sun corresponds to the human master, and if there is a sun on it, there should be a human master in the world. And the three days should be a sign of the juxtaposition of the three masters. ”

"Bold." Liu Mang immediately became angry and said, "In addition to the Jin family, only my Han Liu family is the master of the people, and now that the Jin family has fallen, my emperor has become the only human master, how can there be three human masters?" ”

Zhuge Warlock hurriedly laughed and said: "How did the king forget, although Sima Ye surrendered, there is also the Li family in Bashu Chengdu." It is true that Li Xiong's Shu State must not be compared with the Han Emperor, but after all, it is called scales and has become the climate, so how can it not be counted? ”

"Then Li Xiong is relying on the difficulties of Shu Dao, and the forces outside can't help him for the time being, let's be regarded as a master. Li Xiong plus my emperor are only two masters, what about the other? ”

"The other has not yet been revealed, but I watch the phenomenon at night, and the southeast should have the breath of a son."

"Hmph, joke. Now that most of the Jin family has been attacked by my Han, the rest are some rabble who have been divided and messy, reluctantly resistant, how can they become a climate? ”

"The feudal towns in the Central Plains really have no power to return, but this qi is likely not to be in Jiangbei, but from Jiangnan."

"Jiangnan?" Liu Mang paused slightly, "Luoyang was destroyed by my Han Dynasty, and many Sima royal families crossed the Yangtze River to take refuge, but only Sima Rui, the king of Langya, still has some strength." ”

"It's not just a bit of strength. Sima Rui has taken firm root in Jiangdong with the assistance of Wang Dao, and now he has changed his name to King Jin from the name of King Langya, which obviously means to inherit the Jin family. ”

In fact, Zhuge Warlock's so-called night observation is completely false. In fact, he listened to Sima Rui's movements outside in advance, and in order to deal with Liu Mang, he temporarily applied it to the third day and took it up. Seeing Liu Mang's melancholy face, Zhuge Warlock flattered him again: "The king doesn't have to worry, although there are three masters, but the Great Jin and Bashu are destined not to last long, only my Han can be a thousand generations." Just like the three days together, only the middle day is eternal, and the left and right days are just a flash in the pan. ”

At this point, I saw that the aperture gradually faded, and the left and right days disappeared with it.

Liu Mang was overjoyed when he saw that Zhuge Warlock was so magical and very reasonable, so he turned to a tone of asking for advice and asked: "The next major event has its own emperor's strategy, and it is not something that this king can consider. This king thinks only about what is in front of him. I have been attacking you for a long time, trapped in clusters, and anxious up and down. But my husband didn't advise me to quit the army, how should I deal with it? ”

"Shu Yan is resourceful, very difficult, and well-prepared, dedicated, and won the hearts of the people. Even if the king besieges the city for three more months, it may be difficult to take it, and after a long time, he may be counterattacked. However, there is a way for Dao, he doesn't have to make a big move, he can obediently open the city and surrender. ”

......

No matter how united they are, no one can face the harsh facts in front of them. Grain, grass, arrows, crossbows, and cannon stones were used less and less, and people began to become more and more anxious.

On this day, Shu Yan summoned the guards of the four cities, Peng Hui, Tang Hui, Wu Qian, and Zhang Fei, to the county office to exchange opinions with the officials and discuss countermeasures. But now everyone's focus is obviously not on how to defend against the enemy, but on the rare vision the day before yesterday.

"It's unheard of to shine for three days, how should this be?"

"The sun and even the sun are exalted, and all things can be looked up to, it must be the only one, and the three days and the present and the empty must be the appearance of the demon."

"I don't know what the omen is, but now that we are besieged by the Huns, the vision appears at this time, I'm afraid it's not a good thing."

"Could it be that we are going to be breached?"

Everyone was not afraid of the Huns, but they were very afraid of the vision that appeared the day before yesterday, so that they were very depressed.

Ruoxin listened to everyone's speeches and smiled: "Who must have only one sun?" Where did you put Hou Yi in these words? ”

Don't look at it, it's just a mythical character, but this statement is so powerful that everyone is speechless for a while.

Of course, Shu Yan couldn't explain the vision of the three days, he was worried about how to dispel the panic of Zhongrao, but he didn't expect Ruoxin's words to help him a lot, and then said: "Don't panic too much about this vision. I can't explain it, but it's probably just an illusion. ”

"Hou Yi's shooting of the sun is just a pass, but the three suns are really seen, how can it be an illusion?" Although Peng Hui fought bravely, his fear of this vision came from the heart and he could not extricate himself.

"Does what you see have to be real?" Shu Yan smiled slightly, took the bronze mirror on the case, and took a picture of Peng Hui's face, "There is also a Peng Hui among them, is it also true?" ”

This move is too convincing to be worth 10,000 words. Peng Hui's face turned red, and everyone laughed.

"The three days lasted less than half an hour, and the two vanity days disappeared, and it was clear that they were illusions. This is just like the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror. Don't be overly afraid. What we really need to panic about is not this, but how to defend the city. If you have any ideas, come out boldly and don't keep them. ”

Sun Yi has always been the lord and faction, and at this time Ruyin was in a desperate situation, and he was very complaining: "I have long passed, and using the strength of our Ruyin to fight against the Hun cavalry is simply to hit a stone with an egg." If you don't listen, what will be the result today? On the day the Xiongnu broke the city, not only could not survive, but also affected tens of thousands of people. ”

Peng Hui immediately refuted: "Can you survive if you surrender?" Those who abandoned the city and left, and the people in the city were also plundered and killed. ”

Tang replied: "That's right, the Huns were brutal and did not talk about credibility. Just look at the fate of Emperor Huai, who had been captured for several years and could not pose any threat to Liu Cong, but he was still killed. ”

Zhang Fei was young and vigorous, and he was quite unimpressed with the Huns: "The Huns didn't see how powerful they were, and they fought several times, did they get a little cheap?" ”

"Liu Mang has reinforcements, and there is grain and grass to respond. Not only did we have no reinforcements, but our armaments, grain and grass were also drying up day by day, and if we continued like this, we would starve to death without waiting for Liu Mang to attack the city. ”

If Sun Yi had said this before, it would have caused another round of rebuttals, but now, with the harsh facts in front of them, everyone's momentum is inevitably much lower.

Wu Qian said indignantly: "Where do they need any grain and grass to respond!" Yesterday I looked at the city, and found that the Huns had some unusual movements, and I immediately ordered a vigilance, who knew that they did not want to attack the city, but rushed to the nearby fields to harvest the crops that were about to ripen before the common people! Isn't this an open robbery? ”

Shu Yan smiled bitterly: "This is the consistent practice of the Hun soldiers. That's why the people called it 'the locust'. The locust is the locust of locusts, which means to plunder the grain of the people like locusts. ”

Du Jian said: "Since ancient times, those who have won the hearts of the people have to go, and the Huns have been merciful and unkind, even if they can win it, how can it last long!" ”

When Ruoxin heard this, she suddenly stood up and said, "The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind." He can rob the people, so why can't we rob him? ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately resonated with everyone. At the moment of internal and external difficulties, this is clearly finding a breakthrough, and everyone sees new hope in the Jedi.

Peng Huili praised: "Well, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." That's it! When they go back to harvest the grain, we'll surprise him by surprise and take him by surprise! ”

Zhang Fei was even more gearing up, and even a little eager to try.

Of course, Shu Yan also agreed with this suggestion very much, and said happily: "It is indeed the road of no end." ”

Du Jian stood up excitedly and said, "In this way, we will not only have food, but also kill a few enemy soldiers by the way to relieve boredom." ”

Before the words fell, Sun Yi refuted again: "Don't think too seriously, those Hun soldiers are all battle-hardened, are they waiting for us to rob them in vain?" ”

Peng Hui glared at him: "Why do you always grow the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige?" ”

Tang Hui pondered: "Sun Gongcao's is not unreasonable. Although this method is good, it should also prevent fraud. The enemy has at least ten thousand men and horses in each of the cities in the south, east, and west, and no more than three or four thousand men are sent to plunder the grain, and they are sure to be on the guard more and more at this time. Their camp was six or seven miles away from the city gates, and we had only a few thousand infantry in each city, less than half the number of the other side. When they got there, their cavalry almost reacted, and it was difficult to bargain. ”

Shu Yan said: "Although this move is a dangerous move, it has reached the last moment, there is no other way, if you want to survive, you must try." Although the defenders of each of our cities are small, there are still 8,000 mobile men, and 10,000 can be dispatched. Horses are not nothing, more than 1,000 war horses were seized from Liu Mang, plus hundreds of the original ones, a total of more than 2,000. These soldiers and horses all gathered in the south of the city, saw the right time, and dispatched in an instant to give him a blitzkrieg. It has come to the moment of life and death, and the soldiers will definitely do their best to work hard, and I think there is a certain certainty that they will succeed. ”
