- The anti-Wei air raid is really coming!

Xu Shu looked at the sky incredulously, at this moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart.

Fu Shiren followed Guan Lin's instructions and conducted seven exercises in ten days... This affected the livelihood of hundreds of people, making the hearts of the people of Xuchang City float, and even when Guan Yu arrived, the people were in an uproar and petitioned one after another, and even, he Xu Shu interceded for the people, trying to give Fu Shiren and Guan Yu a step down, but was ruthlessly refused.

But now...

Xu Shu was even a little unsteady, he subconsciously covered his heart with his weak hands, shocked... Behind the shock is fear!

"Cloud Banner is really like a god, I... I almost made a big mistake...'

Looking up again, above the sky of Xuchang City, illuminated by the torch, countless flames erupted from the canister of fire oil, mighty and mighty, covering the sky and the sun...

It's not dozens of flying balls, it's enough... There are hundreds of them!

This deterrent is too great!

This fear seems to be innate!

- "This is not a drill! ”

- "It's a real fight!" ”

- "This is not a drill, it is a real battle!" ”

In Fu Shiren's shout, the entire Xu Capital City was in chaos at first...

Yes, who would have thought that Cao Cao really launched a flying ball and flew into the sky above this Xuchang City.

The story of the sea of fire in Fancheng purgatory... It's no secret in the whole Han!

For these people of Xuchang City, they know... How many people can be burned by this fire from heaven!

But the good thing... The seven drills in 10 days have made the people already familiar with several key points.

First, it must be orderly and not panicked.

Anyone who panics... More people must not be able to enter the bomb shelter, panic will kill themselves!

Second, during this time, General Fu Shiren and his Fu family army did nothing to do anything, but to clean up this air-raid shelter, which also caused the entrance of the air-raid shelter to be enough and distributed to each street.

As long as they calm down, the experience of seven exercises has taught them that the speed of the flying ball is not fast, and it takes time for the airdrop to ignite, and the time difference in the middle... Enough for everyone up and down the city to go into the bomb shelter.

- Don't panic!

- Steady! We can live!

It is based on these two points.

Although the city of Xudu was a short-lived chaos, but... It was not fatal, Fu Shiren and Fu Jiajun quickly controlled the situation...

Many able-bodied men also assisted the officers and soldiers in maintaining order...

Those who retreat first are not impatient, those who retreat are not in a hurry, and the entire Xudu City gradually began to become orderly!

And Fu Shiren's voice is still coming out.

"Cheer up General Ben!"

Fast horses quickly shuttled through each street, conveying Fu Shiren's orders...

- "General Fu said, cheer up... General Fu and all the lieutenants must be the last to enter the bomb shelter to ensure that the situation is under control and everyone in the streets and alleys is allowed to go in first... There are promising generals... Dare to enter it first and dodge, anyone can be killed on the spot! ”

Fu Shiren is also an old man under Liu Bei.

For so many years, I haven't learned anything else, and in this moment of great difficulty, I give priority to the people, and then myself... This is one of the few things he learned from Liu Bei.

Of course, this is not that Fu Shiren also needs to set up a "benevolent" character like Liu Bei.

The reason for this is because... Often, when such a catastrophe comes, priority is given to the people, which will dispel the fear of the people and invigorate the officers and men of the three armed forces, but on the contrary, it will be of great benefit to the "action".

"Crossing the river with the people", exercising benevolence and righteousness, and obstructing the pursuing soldiers...

- That's... Full of experience gained from practice!

On the contrary, if the people are in chaos first, then the calf will be completely finished-

"Shiren... True commander too! ”

Looking at Fu Shiren's calm and calm command, Guan Yu couldn't help muttering, his heart throbbed, and he couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, Guan Yu thought of how much he looked down on this "little brother" when he first met Fu Shiren in Zhuo County...

Thinking of it, when Fang Cai met at the city gate, he was too proud of his dislike.

Now it seems... After all, he lost his eyes and saw this guy wrong!

"Second General..."Zhou Cang on the side looked up at the flying ball that was getting closer and closer, and opened his mouth, "The safety of the second general is very important, let's go to the air-raid shelter..."

In the face of Zhou Cang's proposal, Guan Yu stroked his long hair: "Shiren knows that at this time, the people first, and then the generals, how can Guan turn his back on the people?" ”

Speaking of this, Guan Yu immediately ordered: "Wait until General Shiren assists General Shiren to guide the people into the air-raid shelter, Guan Mou is standing here, and when the people are settled, Guan Mou will move!" ”

This... Zhou Cang wanted to say something.

But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them all.

Guan Gong has always been a righteous man, he loves soldiers like sons, and he loves the people like sons!

At this moment, the surrounding voices resounded again.

"Hurry up, hurry up—"

"The old and the young go first, and the men come last—"

"General Fu has an order, officers and soldiers are not allowed to enter for the time being-"

…

…

In the sky, in the rattan basket for the first flying ball, Jiang Yan noticed the flying ball in Jingzhou in front of him, and couldn't help but stare at it... He muttered in a low voice, "Have you been discovered?" ”

He pondered for a moment, and then gave the order, "Since it has leaked, there is no need to cover it up, and it will reach the sky above Xuchang City as quickly as possible, and set it on fire with an airdrop—"

Cao Wei's flying ball basket was also extremely filled, in addition to the necessary flying ball soldiers.

They didn't have the glass bottles provided by the Jiangxia refining workshop, so they replaced them with wine jars and barnacle jars, which contained a lot of grease and white phosphorus, so they replaced them with flint and fire sickles.

In addition, it is now the season of autumn and winter, the weather is dry and dry, but any sporadic flames can easily cause a raging fire.

It's just that as he got closer and closer to the sky over Xuchang City, Jiang Wei's face became more and more ugly.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask his father Jiang Yu, "Dad, are we really going to burn Xuchang City?" ”

Not...

Jiang Wei's words made Jiang Wei pause, Jiang Wei raised his eyes and asked, "What do you mean by Wu'er?" ”

Jiang Wei continued, and his words were sincere: "In Xuchang City, there are not only soldiers and horses from Jingzhou, but also tens of thousands of people... Isn't my father stationed in Tianshui all these years to defend against Hulu's invasion? The people of Tianshui are the people, but aren't the people of Xuchang City the people? They are also Han Chinese... Are they all compatriots? Really want a fire... Is it completely incinerated? That's hundreds of thousands of creatures! ”

This...

Jiang Wei's words made Jiang Wei groan for a while, but soon, he raised his voice and solemnly replied to his son's meaningful question.

"My son... Daddy asks you? Do you think it is more important to end this divided mountain and river and dominate the world? Or is it more important to build an ideal state where everyone has clothing, everyone has food, and the people are prosperous and can live and work in peace and contentment? ”

"Since it's the latter..."Jiang Wei said solemnly, "Isn't it also for the prosperity of the people to dominate the world, and isn't it also for the thousands of Li Shu to live and work in peace and contentment?" ”

Jiang Wei answered this question very seriously.

Can... Jiang Yan directly denied his son's naïve idea with one word, "No! ”

Yes...

Under Jiang Wei's stunned gaze, Jiang Yu said solemnly: "When I was a child, I was as naïve as you, thinking that the so-called ideals and ambitions were Liu Bei's 'want to do great justice, and every time you rebel, things will come true', Xun Yu's 'serve the lord and support Hongyi', and Cui Yan's 'If there is no encounter, good feet are valuable', but in fact... Liu Bei was displaced in the first half of his life, every time he was in danger, he was still breathing, Xun Yu was the king, but in the end, he was 'worried', 'there was no Hanlu to eat'... Cui Yan, a famous man in Qinghe, Hebei, ended up in the ground as a sinner... Even the family, and..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yu paused for a moment, and seemed to be quite moved, and he gritted his teeth.

Oh, yes... What kind of torturous process did he go through in the transformation of his mental journey, the transformation from ideals to reality?

"Xun Yu, Cui Yan, and Liu Bei, who is half alive, their fate... It's not good! Jiang Yi raised his voice, "At that time, my father knew that many things cannot be achieved only by ideals, and the so-called unification must satisfy most people with lofty ideals... Or in other words, the interests of those in power! ”

"In this troubled world, how much energy can the poor peasants, the people of the small end, and the thousands of thousands of Li Shu under our feet? Can they stand up to their backs? For example, my father, who was promoted to three levels with his exploits in resisting Xianbei, was a broken rule, and he was looked down upon by people everywhere! Becoming an official is even more extravagant! This world is rotten, ideal people... In this day and age, it can only be reduced to tragedy in the end! ”

Maybe it was because of feelings, maybe it was to teach his son, Jiang Wei solemnly told Jiang Wei about the so-called "ideal" and "reality", and told about his half-life perception - ideal and tragedy!

- Protecting all people, this is the ideal!

——Let the lives of Xuchang City be devastated, and no people and animals will be left, which... It's the red fruit, and it's about the reality of their merits and lives.

Of course, under the patriarchy of this era, ordinary sons... often obeys his father's orders, but Jiang Wei... Never an ordinary teenager.

Compared to those mediocre young people, even if he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, he has his own judgment.

"What the father said is right, but the child has a different point of view, why is Liu Bei, who has been defeated repeatedly, more popular? Why is Zhuge Liang of the fairy wind bone so admirable? Why do you stay fragrant Xunling, even if there is no Hanlu to eat, go to Huangquan... But what makes the people fascinated? Because the people long for them, and the people envy them! ”

"The people are eager for the superior to give sunshine and rain, the people are eager for benevolence, the rule of the world, and the chivalrous man, so the Ming Jun who does not abandon the people, the heroes who can return the world to the world, the righteous people who are loyal and righteous, of course the people accept them, even if they are repeatedly defeated, they will put a place in the heart of every Li Shu!"

"Ideal... Maybe in the end, you can't fight reality, but everyone will still have ideals in their hearts, maybe many people will eventually be realistic, will be livelihood, will be dismantled by the breathless life that once ideals, but children won't, even if children push boulders hard in reality, but as long as they can occasionally look up at the sky, children... It's satisfied. Therefore, what my father said about the misery of life is a reality, and the preservation of all people is an ideal, so... The child would rather save the people... I won't be the demon who starts to kill! ”

And when it comes to this...

Jiang Wei didn't know when he took all the arrows in the rattan basket of this hot air balloon...

"Whoosh-"

With a sound of breaking through the air, several ringing arrows were released...

But... These noises... Their orders were very different from those of Jiang Yu.

Be... Suspend the order to move forward and plan to pause.

Really... As the arrows burst out in the air one after another, above the sky, the hot air balloons behind them immediately stopped, hovered in the air, and never moved forward.

The mighty Wei Feiqiu Legion, which covered the sky and the sun, suddenly stopped.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yu exclaimed, "Boyo? Crazy? ”

Oh, yes... Jiang Wei's move would harm their Jiang family.

"Quick... Quickly recapture the resounding arrow, send another signal quickly, and the Flying Ball Legion will advance at full speed..."Jiang Yu immediately ordered the soldiers in the rattan basket to be brave.

But Jiang Wei was very skilled, and immediately subdued the two soldiers who came to seize the arrows.

Then he threw all the arrows in the rattan basket directly.

Look at all the ringing arrows... Falling into the wound of Xuchang City as if in free fall, this scene almost made Jiang Yan stunned.

"Boyo? Are you trying to kill our whole people? ”

"If I were to burn the soldiers of the enemy army, I, Jiang Wei, would never blink an eye, but if I burned all the people, forgive Jiang Wei... Never! Never! ”

Jiang Wei's tone shook the heavens and the earth.

This time, Jiang Yan stepped forward in person, under his angry cheeks, in this rattan basket, the father and son fists and feet were facing each other...

In the end, Jiang Wei was subdued by Jiang Wei, "Rebel, rebel..." Jiang Wei was angry, he subdued Jiang Wei, and said fiercely to the two flying ball soldiers: "Find a way to inform the flying ball on his side, let him sound the arrow, and move forward at full speed... Burn the wind... Don't stop for a moment! ”

"Whew... Whoa..."

The Flying Ball Soldier promised again and again...

"Hahahaha..." but Jiang Wei was laughing, "Hahahahaha..."

The more Jiang Yan looked at this son, the more angry he became, "You rebel still laugh? You've committed a heinous sin..."

"Haha..."Jiang Wei was still laughing, smiling and laughing, he opened his mouth and said: "The child is laughing, in the past, Guan Yu of Jingzhou also used 'rebel' to call his fourth son Guan Lin Guan Yunqi, but now?" The former rebel son has occupied Jiangdong and has become a lingering nightmare for the King of Wei, hahahaha... Now, the father's title of the rebel son, the more the child listens to it, the more pleasing it becomes..."

"You..."

In the face of Jiang Wei's anger, Jiang Wei was still laughing, laughing, and shouting at the sky: "Give birth to what I want, righteousness also I want, you can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives to take righteousness also..."

This is a fifteen-year-old boy!

This is a hot-blooded teenager!

He even thought only of "righteousness", only of the preservation of all peoples, but he completely ignored him... His father, and the rise and fall of their whole clan!

…

…

"What's going on?"

When Guan Yu saw the Wei Feiqiu above the sky that had already arrived above Xuchang City, his heart was also extremely nervous.

Because to lead the people... The withdrawal into this "bomb shelter" is not yet complete.

There are also scattered old people, as well as children who have been separated from their parents, who have just been woken up and are hurrying here under the guidance of Fu Jiajun.

If... If this time...

Reverse Wei Zhao cat painting tiger... Learn to airdrop the cloud flag to set fire to Xuchang City, the consequences are unimaginable...

It's just that Guan Yu was a little surprised at this moment, because... The flying ball hovering over Xuchang City did not throw any ignition objects downward!

This...

Guan Yu not only secretly said in his heart: "What kind of medicine is sold in Cao Cao's gourd? Don't... Just to prove it, do they have this flying ball too? Or is it because of this... More than 200,000 people in Xuchang City?'

No... This idea just appeared in his heart, Guan Yu quickly shook his head, and immediately denied this idea.

Who is Cao Cao?

I'd rather bear others than others... How could he ever care about the safety of the people? How could there have been thousands of Li Shu in his eyes?

"Second General... The people have all withdrawn into this air-raid shelter..."Zhou Cang hurried over, saw Guan Yu with a blank face, and hurriedly shouted..."General Fu and the soldiers also withdrew into it... The second general doesn't want to stay outside! ”

Zhou Cang's words were just chanted, and Guan Yu's thoughts were withdrawn from the nine clouds.

"Let's—"

With a shout, Guan Yu and Zhou Cangfang finally entered the underground.

It was about a quarter of an hour before the sky was thrown... One by one, a large amount of grease was sprinkled on Xuchang City under the rattan basket, as well as flints, fire sickles... They fell down like stones.

It only takes a moment...

Under the moonlit night, the majestic Xuchang City has turned into a sea of fire.

Blazing flames leaped through the night, staining the sky blood-red.

The walls were engulfed in flames, and the crumbling stones splashed in the flames with a deafening sound.

The houses on both sides of the street were also set on fire, and the fire spread rapidly, as if... The whole city will be shrouded in a sea of purgatory-like fire.

The people in the city were okay, because of Guan Lin's advance explanation and Fu Shiren's early rehearsal, most of the people retreated into the air-raid shelter, but even so, the scorching temperature from the surface made them sweat one by one.

But it's nothing...

Compared with this, the trembling corn that was all over their bodies because of fear made them extremely sober.

They put away all their complaints...

At this moment, the entire 200,000 people of Xuchang City, these people who surrendered from Cao Wei, there was no more moment... They are more than Guan Lin, Fu Shiren, and Liu Bei... Such a convincing heart.

It's these people... Saved their lives!

And their former master, that Cao Cao... It is to kill them completely, and even to wipe out all traces of their existence.

On one side is a demon, and on the other side is a saint-

But... Someone else died in the fire.

Like what... Because of Wei Feiqiu's first action, and the episode caused by Jiang Wei's dispute with his father... Therefore, some oil cans, flints, and fire sickles were thrown into the villages outside the city walls, so that in the middle of the night, the villages suddenly burst into flames...

Because of the grease and the strong winds, these fires spread rapidly and burned the villages along with them.

The people in it, their cries and cries for help came and went, intertwined with the roar of the fire, like an incomparably poignant requiem.

Countless people and animals struggled and fled in the sea of fire, but the merciless flames swallowed them one by one.

Charred corpses were scattered all over the ground, and the air was filled with a suffocating stench.

Even... The water flowing through Xuchang City was dried by the fire...

The fish and shrimp on the riverbed struggled and jumped in the flames, and eventually turned to charcoal.

A large number of houses, the surrounding woods were also set on fire, outside the city... The firelight reflected the frightened and desperate faces. Inside the city... It seems that overnight, it has become a burning purgatory, which is terrifying.

"Captain Jiang... Half of the rattan pots were thrown out of the city... The east city burned, and the west city ... Not... Not burned! ”

At this time, in the rattan basket, someone was already reporting to Jiang Yu...

"Ahhhhh

Jiang Wei also let out a burst of difficult shouts, as if he wanted to break free from his hands that were tied behind his back, Jiang Wei glared at him, and then replied to the soldier: "Keep throwing... In the entire city of Xuchang, there is no place left..."

"Captain Jiang, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it won't work..."The soldier said truthfully: "We only have a hundred flying balls, and the rattan jars in the flying balls have been thrown, and this flame is far less than the time when the Jingzhou flying ball burned, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it! ”

This...

After hearing this, Jiang Yan pondered for a moment, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, in case his son's behavior reaches Cao Cao's ears, plus Xuchang City does not burn embers...

That...

But no matter what you think, this operation has come to an end.

"The matter has come to this, pass on my military order, and return immediately..."

"Whoa..."

With Jiang Yi's order, the flying ball that was overwhelming over Xuchang City quickly turned around and drove away in the direction of Luoyang City.

It was Jiang Yi, he stared at his son deeply, and for a moment, his heart was also mixed...

Today's Jiang Wei, how can he not be himself in the past?

It's just that...

- "Alas!"

With a deep exhalation in his heart, Jiang Wei said fiercely, "Go back, I'm cleaning you up..."

…

…

One day and one night!

Even Wei Feiqiu's fuel was not very sufficient, but the fire in Xuchang City also ignited for a day and a night, and it didn't fall until the second day!

Thanks to Fu Shiren's preparations, most of the grain, grass and ordnance were transferred to the cellar long ago, so that the people and soldiers would not starve...

Even, Fu Shiren only sent a team out on the third day to ensure that he was safe... Only then did the army and the people come out of the bomb shelter one after another.

It's just that...

After the fire burned Xuchang City, the scene has become unrecognizable, reflecting Fu Shiren, Guan Yu, Zhou Cang... And in the eyes of all the soldiers and civilians, it is a depression and a ruin.

The walls were burned black, and the masonry was shattered by the raging flames.

The tall gates collapsed in the fire, leaving only charred wreckage and broken wooden beams.

The streets of the city were scorched by the fire, and the stone slabs that paved the roads were deformed and crisscrossed with cracks.

The houses lining the streets had been reduced to ashes, with only remnants of wall foundations and charred wood remaining.

The walls of some of the houses, although still standing, have lost their roofs, doors and windows, and are hollow and open, as if to tell the tragedy of the disaster.

The smell of burning was in the air, suffocating.

Even the trees in the city were burned to the point that only charred trunks remained, and there were no branches and leaves, and it was desolate.

The river was also dried by the fire, the soil on the riverbed was burned to cracks, and aquatic creatures such as fish and shrimp had died and floated on the water, and there was a faint smell of burnt because they were boiled.

Commoners...

Every citizen of Xuchang City, facing their homes destroyed by the fire, had an expression of grief and despair on their faces.

Some knelt on the ground, covered their faces with their hands, and wept silently.

There are also some people who silently go to pick up something, seemingly... It is to find the remnants of one's own house in the ruins.

"Woo..."

Faint cries began to be heard.

"Woo..."

The crying intensified...

"It's gone, there's nothing, my Shu brocade, my shop, I... My house... Yes... Ahh

The big-shouldered and round-waisted merchant who had asked Guan Yu for his life before was also kneeling on the ground at this moment, and the smell of burning seemed to have a special ability to dry the tears on his cheeks... Let him cry even if he dries up!

Guan Yu is also the first time to see such a "doomsday"-like ruined scene...

He could imagine that if it weren't for his son Guan Lin, if it weren't for Fu Shiren, if it weren't for the seven drills in ten days, now... There will be countless more charred bones in this ruin, and countless people will leave this world forever in the night.

This...

It's scary to think about!

Thinking of this, Guan Yu couldn't help clenching his fists fiercely, he raised his head and looked at the sky, and he had a feeling of hatred for Cao Wei's flying ball.

Of course, he knew... Any Cao Wei general, they must feel the same way about their son's flying ball!

The teeth of hatred itch...

Hate so much—

Everything seemed to be silent, except for the smell of burning, except for the loss of home... There is a faint sob!

Finally, someone broke out in silence.

It's Fu Shiren...

Seeing the Xuchang City he fought down, the greatest achievement in his life, turned into a dead silence at this moment, he roared angrily and opened his mouth angrily.

"Cao Cao, Lao Tzu Ri, your grandmother-"

"Come on, aren't all the five hundred flying balls on our side hidden underground? Moved them all out, and took out all those glass bottles, white phosphorus, and oil cans, Cao Cao... It's better than an airdrop, right? Come on... Hurt each other! Lao Tzu burned your Luoyang City! ”
