Chapter 364: Broken Roots and Withered Branches (2)

Liu Mang stood in the overall situation, he didn't want to cheat, but with Ah Zhuang and Zhuge Warlock bewitching him before and after, he couldn't help but have some activities in his mind.

Zhixin originally hated Zhuge Warlock, but now when she heard him offer flattery and despicable words to Liu Mangjin like this, she was angry and angry, and shouted to Shu Yan: "This thief is treacherous and insidious, he deceived me into going to Luoyang back then, causing me to be lonely and live and die with you, and my mother died because of this." The previous revenge has not been avenged, and now he has intensified his efforts, taking refuge in the Huns and anti-thieves, aiding the abuse, sneaking into the house to plunder me and then blackmail you. Just now he did evil in secret, wanting to do me harm. But this thief must not be killed, and I will not be blind until I die! ”

When Zhuge Warlock heard Zhixin list his crimes, he laughed and said, "I am not only proficient in divination and hexagrams, but also have some eloquent talents. Back then, the Shi family was almost disturbed by me, and it was easy to deceive your young daughters and widows. As for taking refuge in the Great Han, it is a handsome bird climbing a high branch. I have already seen that the Great Jin Dynasty has run out, and after leaving Luoyang, I have taken refuge in the Han Dynasty, and it has been several years now. ”

Shu Yan was furious when he heard this: "You puppet, after pretending to be Zhuge Kongming, you swaggered and deceived the girl from a good family, and even defected to the enemy and treason. The reason why the Great Jin Dynasty was defeated by the Xiongnu was precisely because of traitors like you! ”

Zhuge Warlock laughed again: "So what? Now that I am the hero of the Han Dynasty, and you are the general of the defeated army, what can you do to me? ”

Shu Yan gritted his teeth, and said with murderous anger in his eyes: "You can't live if you do your own evil!" You are so arrogant and insidious, traitorous to seek glory, rebellious, and hurt reason, so you don't blame me for being polite. Back then, you hurt me Zhixin with your tongue, and now I will take your life from your tongue! ”

Zhuge Warlock thought that Shu Yan was just quick to talk - one of the two people was in the city, and the other was under the city, more than a stone's throw apart, and there were tens of thousands of Huns around him to protect him, how could Shu Yan help himself? He didn't realize the danger at all, and he laughed even more arrogantly, when a cold light flashed, and a long arrow pierced through his mouth and straight through the back of his head.

This unexpected sudden event stunned everyone.

Liu Mang was frightened into a cold sweat on the spot, and hurriedly retreated a few feet under the cover of the guards. "Shu Yan, you dare to kill my people?"

"I avenge my wife and eliminate harm for my country. It doesn't matter who he is! ”

Although Liu Mang was angry at Shu Yan's killing of Zhuge Warlock, he was a person who focused on the overall situation, weighing the pros and cons: What is the point of killing a subordinate? Being able to successfully take down Ruyin is the most important thing. I have worked hard, but I hope that I will succeed, and I must not disturb my own affairs because of a warlock. He quickly turned his anger into admiration, and laughed: "Shu Lang is really arrogant. This sorcerer is a despicable man, and I hate him, and it is not a pity to kill him. Don't worry, I won't blame you, you just need to get out and get out quickly. ”

"I can give up my resistance and make peace with you. But it will not surrender to you, let alone serve you. You have to be clear. ”

Liu Mang scolded in his heart: This guy is really difficult! But so what? Surrender or reconciliation. In short, there is no real difference. "Well, whatever you want."

"Well, I give the order to open the gates and give up resistance." Shu Yan gave an order, and the city gate was opened.

Finally able to enter the city without hindrance, this was the moment that Liu Mang had been looking forward to for a long time, but he hesitated. Because he knew that there were 20,000 tiger and wolf soldiers in the city, if he rashly entered the city and Shu Yan would close the door and beat the dogs, it would be all over.

Ah Zhuang saw Liu Mang looking at the city gate and hesitated, and said anxiously: "King, the city gate has been opened, we haven't rushed into the city yet, what are you waiting for?" ”

"Don't be reckless, and have an ambush in your heart. Be safe in everything. Liu Mang stopped Ah Zhuang, and then said loudly to the city, "Since you have given up resistance, you must always show some sincerity." Do you know that when your Emperor Sima Ye surrendered, he was naked, with a ribbon on his mouth, and carried a coffin to show that he had suffered death for his sins. I know you will not be humiliated by this, but at least you must lay down your weapons, and we will not be able to enter the city with your weapons in hand, right? ”

Shu Yan guessed Liu Mang's thoughts, and smiled disdainfully: "You really live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a man." Since I, Shu Yan, have decided to give up resistance, how can I regret it? Well, since you don't dare to go into the city, how about I go out of the city myself? ”

"You alone is not enough, you must come with Peng Hui, the two of you. Don't wear armor, don't bring weapons. Liu Mang knew that in addition to Shu Yan, Peng Hui was the actual leader of the troops, and asked the two of them to go out of the city together, and the rest was a plate of loose sand, so there was no need to worry.

"There is no restraint in doing great things. Now that you have decided, you have to be happy. Let's go out of town together, lest you be suspicious. ”

Seeing that Shu Yan agreed to his request, Liu Mang was overjoyed. After a while, Shu Yan, who was wearing regular clothes, and Peng Hui walked out of the city with their bare hands. To his surprise, there was a giant beast behind him, which was the elephant he wanted to offer to his imperial brother Liu Congjin.

Shu Yan came out of the city, flew up, and stood on the back of the elephant. This mount is really domineering, with a steady pace and majestic majesty. Shu Yan is also magnificent, without a little fear. This is indeed not like a surrender, but rather like a review of the three armies. Liu Mang saw it in his eyes and respected it in his heart, and he had to admire Shu Yan's courage.

Walking up to Liu Mang, Shu Yan shouted loudly: "Envoy Liu, what else do you have to say?" ”

Liu Mang smiled and said: "Shu Lang is brave and wise, and his words are counted." What else can I say? ”

"Then you won't let my wife go, when will you wait?"

"If you say what you say, I will naturally not break my word. But I have two more words. You Shu Yanzhong is full of righteousness and courage. Now, although the city is sacrificed, it is also after the surrender of the Jin emperor, and it is a last resort, which is not a loss of moderation. I know what happened to you in the Luoyang Dynasty back then, you had the talent to govern the country and secure the country, but you were gradually squeezed out into a county official. The Jin family is rotten and the selection is unfair, isn't it one of the reasons for its self-destruction? Different from the Jin Dynasty, the reason why the Xiongnu Han Dynasty was able to prosper rapidly was not only the Xiongnu headquarters, but the corporal Lixian and the talents of all ethnic groups. If you are willing to serve my big man, I will not only ensure the reunion of your husband and wife, but also make you a high-ranking official. Why limit yourself to just one county? What do you think? ”

The reason why Liu Mang tried his best to win over Shu Yan was because Shu Yan's reputation had reached the ears of their emperor Liu Cong. If you can really win Shu Yan together, it will be more than winning Ruyin. When the time comes, talents, beasts, and cities will be dedicated to the emperor together, are you still afraid that you won't be able to add officials to the knighthood?

"Hahahaha." Shu Yan smiled sadly, "The purpose of sacrificing the city is to protect the people of a county, and it is a last resort." Let's take this to cover up the shame. But if you take refuge in you and serve the hypocrite, it will be a real betrayal. How can I, Shu Yan, be a second minister! ”

Before Liu Mang could speak, Ah Zhuang next to him couldn't hold back for a long time, and shouted: "Shu Yan is so ignorant, why should the king talk nonsense to him, let alone tell him any kindness." He is a general, and the woman does not need to pay him back. Wouldn't it be better for the king to have both a city and a woman? ”

"You dare!" Shu Yan immediately became angry.

Ah Zhuang smiled sinisterly: "Why don't you dare?" Now that you are unarmed, what else can you do? Not only will I not return your woman, but I will also go into the city to ransack Shifu and rob Ah Miao! ”

Peng Hui shouted: "Hu Nu is so despicable! I have promised in advance not to rob the people, how can I go back on my word? With that, he rushed forward and grabbed the reins of Ah Zhuang's warhorse.

Ah Zhuang was annoyed and ashamed: "Old horseman, you used to show off your might, I couldn't help you, and you dare to insult me on such an occasion today, see if I don't kill you!" After that, he turned the iron spear around and stabbed at Peng Hui.

It's a pity that Peng Hui has no armor, no weapons in his hands, and is close at hand, how can he avoid this fierce spear? He was immediately assassinated on the ground.

Seeing Peng Hui being assassinated and falling to the ground, Shu Yan was heartbroken and roared angrily: "Hu Nu! You killed Liu San Mazi first, and then plotted silently, even betrayed the master, made chaos and rebellion, and even went back on your word and killed the people who went out of the city to make peace, it's time to liquidate! ”

Ah Zhuang laughed wildly: "If you Shu Yan are in charge of the army, I am indeed afraid of you, but the way you look now, hahahaha, you can only be like Peng Hui, be my ghost under the spear!" What can you do to me? What can you do to me? What can you do to me? ”

While Ah Zhuang was completely ignoring himself, Shu Yan leaned over and patted the elephant's ear. The elephant understood, and immediately flung the drooping long trunk upward, and threw out two short spears with bamboo pipes. Shu Yan quickly pulled out the bamboo pipe on one of the spear heads and threw it violently at Ah Zhuang's front door.

The spear was less than two feet long, piercing between Ah Zhuang's eyebrows. After all, manpower is inferior to a bow and arrow, and it has not penetrated the back of the head, but it has pierced the brain. Ah Zhuang was still screaming wildly in the blink of an eye, but who knew that he would become a ghost under the gun. He should be regarded as a dedicated man, who has been infatuated with Ah Miao for more than ten years, and the purpose of leading troops back to Ruyin twice is also for Ah Miao. In the moment before he died, he was still thinking about waiting to enter the city to capture Ah Miao. It was terminated so coldly and quickly, and the brain should not have had time to perceive, and left with sweet dreams and longings.

The incident happened suddenly, and it was completely Ah Zhuang's own initiative. Liu Mang didn't expect to make such a fuss at all. But at this point, the two sides are irreconcilable.

Is Liu Mang a soft-hearted person? At this time, he has the advantage, how can he let Shu Yan go!

"Take him!" With an order, the Hun soldiers swarmed up and surrounded Shu Yan.

At this time, Shu Yan still had a short gun in his hand. The only weapon was too short to be used as a throwing weapon, not for fighting. Of course, this is the only chance to throw, and it must be given to Liu Mang. He expected that he would not escape death today, and if he could assassinate Liu Mang, himself, Zhixin, and Peng Hui would also be considered to have died well. Thinking about it, he clenched his short gun and stood condescendingly on the back of the elephant, wanting to throw Liu Mang.

Liu Mang is the main general, and he is also the royal family of the Huns, with many guards around him. Seeing Ah Zhuang being thrown to death, these relatives had already guarded Liu Mang tightly. Shu Yan wanted to throw down the short gun, but he never had nowhere to start. There are Hun soldiers around him, the situation is urgent, and it will be too late if he doesn't throw it. Whether it works or not, let's throw it first. He bit his teeth and threw them at Liu Mang's throat. With a "poof", there was no mountain Liu Mang, and only one pro was stabbed to death.

Shu Yan had no weapon in his hand at all. At this time, Liu Mang was relieved, and there was no threat, so he shouted with confidence: "Catch me alive!" ”

Unarmed and surrounded by swords, guns, swords, and halberds, anyone will turn into a pile of rotten meat in the blink of an eye. But Liu Mang's sentence of "catching alive" gave Shu Yan a chance to breathe. He knew he couldn't escape, but he had to do his best to make a last-ditch effort. There was no weapon in his hand, so he jumped in and threw himself at Liu Mang. The elephant itself is much taller than a horse. And Shu Yan is still standing on the back of the elephant, and Liu Mang is riding on a horse, and the difference between height and inferiority is obviously worse. Shu Yan condescended and tried his best to vertically, and flew two steps in the air by the shoulders of the Huns, just on Liu Mang's body, and the two of them fell to the ground heavily.

This flutter is not true. Liu Mang was wearing heavy armor and landed directly on the ground. He first had two arrow wounds on his body, but the injuries did not heal, and then he fell like this, which can be described as making matters worse; Shu Yan pressed on his body, and there was a cushion cushion through his body, so there was basically no big problem. However, Shu Yan had no weapon in his hand, and he couldn't inflict a fatal blow on him with his fists alone. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Liu Mang's saber pressing under him, and hurriedly grabbed it, but before he could pull it out, he was already surrounded by countless iron blades.

"Don't move!" Liu Mang's men roared.

"Don't move!" A long sword pointed at Liu Mang's throat.

All the Hun soldiers are stupid, why did a pig teammate appear?

"Stupid pig, what are you doing?" One of Liu Mang's guards scolded.

"Stand down, or I'll kill him!" Not only did this "pig teammate" not listen, but the tip of the sword further pressed against the skin under Liu Mang's neck.

Shu Yan was also very puzzled at first, there were actually people in the Hun camp who were so stupid that they could not distinguish between friend and foe? But when he heard this voice, he was immediately surprised, and when he looked up, under the cover of this Hun military uniform, who was not Mo?

"Mo, how did you get in?"

"It's hard to say, wait for a while."

Last night, Zhuge Warlock led someone to quietly break into Shu Yan's house, wanting to grab Zhixin. Mo fought hard, and the sound of the fight attracted the help of Shu Liu, Shu Jin and his son, and several militiamen, but they were okay to deal with a few wandering thieves, and they were certainly not opponents in the face of these heavily armed Hun soldiers. Seeing Zhixin being snatched away, fortunately, Mo escaped in time to avoid death. She secretly tracked these north of the city, and found that the Hun soldiers had gone out to the city, and the camp tent was empty, so she slipped in and set a fire. and took advantage of the chaos to kill a Hun soldier, secretly changed his clothes, and blended into Liu Mang's team.

"Put your sword down, and don't hurt my lord! Otherwise, you'll be chopped up immediately! Liu Mang's protector scolded loudly.

Mo smiled contemptuously: "Hmph, even if you come, anyway, with your Han royal family with us, it's worth dying." ”

Although the Hun soldiers surrounded Shu Yan and Mo layer by layer, no one dared to act rashly.

"All stand back! In addition, I also let my sister Zhixin go. Mo commanded again.

Zhong Ran refused to listen easily, but when he saw Mo pushing the tip of the sword forward slightly, Liu Mang's neck was pierced with a little flesh and blood.

Liu Mang was so frightened that he shouted: "Do you want to kill this king? All stand back and let them go! ”
