Chapter 228: There Are Such Shameless People!
The morning sun shines through the mist on the streets of the city, illuminating the chaos caused by the night attack.
The city's buildings were crumbling, its walls had collapsed, and its streets were littered with weapons, rubble, and dust.
The charred wood smelled faintly of burnt smoke, setting off a bleak scene.
The aftermath of last night had dissipated, but the inhabitants of the city were still awakened by the sudden attack, and they walked out of their houses in terror, their eyes revealing anxiety about the unknown fate.
Some hurriedly packed up their belongings, while others stopped in front of the broken walls, looking helplessly ahead.
The Han army in the city was cleaning up the mess, they were wearing torn armor, their eyes were resolute, but they had fought all night and had not slept all night, and there was still a little tiredness on their faces.
The remnants of the city wall are hung with two faded flags, and the larger one is impressively written: Liu Zi, King of Hanzhong.
A small tooth flag is written: Yijun General Zhao Zi.
Several soldiers are urgently repairing to extinguish the fire and repair the city walls.
In the city, some people gathered to share with each other the fears of the previous night.
The children clutched the hands of their elders tightly, and their innocent eyes revealed their fear of the unknown.
The city gate was a chaos, and the big turmoil in the city had been eliminated, but the small chaos had always existed, and the Han army had to re-seal the city gate.
Avoid small messes from becoming big messes,
Although the morning sun is still so mild, there is an atmosphere of tension and unease in the city.
The devastation and horror caused by the night raids made the residents of New Rest feel the shadow of war.
"We will never move away, life is a new breath, death is a new ghost!"
"We Runan people will never go to Jingzhou to be dogs!"
"The head can't fall off the scar the size of a bowl, I'm afraid of an egg!"
...
Inside the city, the people gathered in the streets, emotionally expressing their dissatisfaction and anger.
They don't want to be moved, they don't want to leave their homeland, this land is already their home, and they have a deep affection for it.
In particular, some young and strong men stood up at the front of the crowd with anger and convictions, shouting slogans of resistance.
The swords in their hands shimmered with cold light, reflecting their determination.
The gold nest and silver nest are not as good as their own kennels.
Isn't it humiliating to leave your homeland?
Don't go!
Don't go!
Don't go even if you're dead!
"The relocation policy has not yet been decided, so wait to calm down, don't make mistakes."
"Those who dare to cause chaos will be killed!"
"Take a step forward and try it?"
...
Some Han soldiers tried to maintain order and persuade the people to calm down, but they looked helpless in the face of the angry people.
Some people were so emotional that they even rushed forward desperately and used their swords against the Han soldiers, and the scene was extremely tense.
There was an atmosphere of tension in the city, and the emotions of the people were high, and anger was in the air.
The chaotic sounds of the streets, the cries of rage, and the clash of swords are intertwined into a chaotic picture.
The situation in the city was difficult to calm down for a while, and the conflict between the two sides gradually escalated, plunging the entire city into chaos.
"Enough!"
A loud roar came, and the people on the street suddenly stopped.
Zhao Yun rode a high-headed white horse, wearing silver-white armor, and he really looked like a celestial.
The spear in his hand is stained with blood, and at first glance he is the master of the battle and killing!
"I am Changshan Zhao Zilong, why are you in trouble?"
The young man who was pointed at the spear and held the sword in his hand did not know where the courage came from, and shouted: "If you want to move us to Jingzhou, I will do it! There are no doors! If you want to move me and the others, it's better to kill it directly! ”
Relocation?
Zhao Yun was suddenly confused by the second monk.
"When did I say I was going to move?"
The young man with the sword said, "How many people did the Jingzhou soldiers capture before for the disaster of Runan County? Don't I know? My second uncle's family has been arrested, and now life and death are uncertain, and now they still want to arrest me? How can I be caught? ”
Zhao Yun stood in the Xinxi City, his eyes were firmly fixed on the people around him, and his heart was a little heavy.
He knew that the hearts of the people at this moment were full of anxiety and fear, and he needed to reassure them with words and deeds to build trust in the Han army.
Maybe...
His Royal Highness didn't think about capturing Runan before, so he did the looting, but now that the city has been captured, the people have blown up.
Zhao Yun waved his hand, patted his chest and shouted:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Han army will not move you, the people of Xinxi City are all the people of the Han family! We are here to protect you and defend this land.
Han thieves are rampant, and my king is the king of Zhongshan, after the king, he has also been to Runan before, and now that I am here, your homeland will be protected by us, and no one will come to disturb it again. ”
Zhao Yun's voice resounded through the city, like warm sunshine, gently but firmly conveying his promise.
His words were full of sincerity and strength, and the mood of many people gradually calmed down.
They looked at Zhao Yun with both awe and suspicion in their eyes, but Zhao Yun's heartfelt words moved the people present.
Coupled with the banner of the Han family, it still has weight in the hearts of the people.
What Cao, what Wei?
We are the people of the big man!
In addition, the name of Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, is indeed loud, and many people have heard of it, and for a while, the people have really settled down.
Of course...
Zhao Yun didn't just make empty promises, his actions have long proven his determination.
"Open the gates of the city, and those who do not believe in me can leave the new rest, and those who believe in me will surely be safe and sound, and if they take the city last night, will I have an army to plunder? Rest assured, everyone. ”
The people watched the city gate being opened, and listened to Zhao Yun's words, the city returned to calm, and the uneasiness in their hearts gradually dissipated.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there will be a notice in the city soon, and in the city, our Han army is a righteous army, and we will never act like a thief!"
After speaking, Zhao Yun pointed to the sword-wielding young man in front of him and said: "I want to recruit Runan young people to form an army, and stay in Runan County, if you don't believe it, I and the swords and soldiers, whoever dares to move away the people of Runan and the others, you can kill them with swords!" ”
Zhao Yun's voice became firmer, and his gaze swept over the many people, with strength and tolerance, as if conveying a belief, a reassuring belief.
When this sentence was spoken, everyone in the city obeyed.
Bang dang~
Bang dang~
Bang dang~
At this moment, in the city, the people of Xinxi City, who originally wanted to resist desperately, threw their swords and soldiers on the ground one after another.
"I'd like to join the army!"
"I would like to follow the general!"
...
"Good, good."
Zhao Yun was also quite happy in his heart.
He didn't have many troops in the first place, but now he can replenish his troops, which is naturally excellent.
Even if he can only defend the city, it can save him a lot of manpower.
"Today, Sima in the army came to recruit soldiers, and they all returned home to prepare for their lives."
A big chaos, because of the appearance of Zhao Yun, instantly disappeared invisibly.
"General, the promise has just been made, what if His Highness still wants to move the people of Xinxi City?"
Vice Admiral Zhao Yun asked with some worry in his heart.
"Since I can have this commitment, I will naturally do it, before His Royal Highness plundered the people of Runan, it was because he didn't want to run Runan, and now Runan has the possibility of taking it, so naturally he will not move the people again, His Highness is such a smart person, there is no need to worry about this matter, I will write to His Highness and explain the details."
At this point, the adjutant general had no choice but to take the order.
"Then Li Ji has promised me to wait to say that he will surrender the rest of the county, this person is like this, I don't have any hope for him, if he can say that Anyang City will be surrendered, then it will be enough, you lead the army to follow that Li Ji to Anyang, if it is the best, if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter."
"No!"
The adjutant general immediately received the order.
As soon as this war is fought, preparations must begin on all fronts.
Wei army south?
Cao Pi didn't deal with Zang Ba and Sun Quan anymore, and it didn't seem impossible to turn the gun towards them.
For now, it's better to be cautious.
...
Now.
Xiyang City.
The Wei army's grain transport team is transporting 300 truckloads of grain and grass to Xiyang City in a steady stream.
Fei Yi stepped forward to inspect the grain and grass in the bag and found that although it was all miscellaneous rice, not polished rice, there was no problem with the quality.
At least it can be used as military rations.
"Your Excellency, how? The grain and grass have been delivered, and the sincerity of my Wei State can come? ”
"Hahaha~"
Fei Yi covered his chin and short beard, and said with a smile: "The sincerity of the envoy, His Royal Highness has already known it, and I also asked the envoy to enter the city to discuss the next matters." ”
The news of the destruction of Xinxi City, this envoy of the King of Wei still does not know.
Discuss things?
"This matter... If you don't consult tomorrow, it's not too late. ”
The envoy of the King of Wei, who didn't know that Xinxi City was broken, was still thinking about delaying time until now.
"Today's deliberation is not about cutting off the five cities, but about something else, messenger, please."
Something else?
In addition to cutting the five cities, there are important things to discuss with him?
Could it be that ...
King Wei's envoy's eyes lit up!
Is it that Liu Gonghei, the crown prince of Hanzhong, is ready to send troops to attack Jiangdong?
If so...
Then I really have to go to the good students to discuss!
Seeing the envoy of the King of Wei walking into the city in a hurry, Fei Yi shook his head lightly and said, "Send the grain and grass to the camp outside the city." ”
After instructing the matter, he also followed the envoy of the king of Wei and went to the palace in the city.
Now.
Xiyang City in the government lobby.
The envoy of the King of Wei entered the hall and hurriedly bowed to Liu Chan.
"Foreign Envoy, meet Your Highness."
After the visit, the envoy of the King of Wei couldn't help but look up at Liu Chan and secretly glanced at it.
He really couldn't help it, Liu Chan at this moment, that appearance is really good!
Liu Chan, dressed in armor, stood on the main seat in the hall, full of unparalleled heroism.
His posture was erect, like a sharp sword, his face was extremely handsome, his facial features were well-defined, especially those deep eyes, which shimmered with sharp light, as if he could see everything. The high bridge of the nose and the resolute jawline outline his masculine beauty.
The black hair flowed, fluttering gently with the breeze, and the few strands of hair on the forehead jumped, revealing a trace of uninhibited and handsome.
What a beautiful boy!
"Please get up."
Liu Chan held the sword in his hand, and finally sorted out his belongings, looking like he was going out to fight.
"Your Highness is wearing strong armor, is it going to send troops to fight?"
Liu Chan looked at the envoy of the King of Wei in front of him with a smile, nodded, and said, "You really want to lead the troops." ”
"Hit Jiangdong?"
Liu Chan shook his head and said, "Hit Runan." ”
Hit Runan?
The smile on the face of the envoy of the King of Wei suddenly disappeared, and his face was as white as gold paper.
"What does Your Highness mean by this? Aren't you looking for me to be happy? ”
Liu Chan didn't hide it from him.
"Last night, I ordered Zhao Yun, the general of the Yi Army, to lead his troops to cross the Huai River to attack Xinxi at night, and now Xinxi City is in my pocket!"
"What?"
When the envoy of the King of Wei heard that Zhao Yun had successfully attacked Xinxi, his face suddenly changed drastically, revealing a shocked expression.
He had come here with confidence, hoping to bring some good news, but at the moment he received the exact opposite, which shocked and caught him off guard.
"It's... That's impossible! ”
His eyes showed a hint of disbelief, he couldn't imagine that Zhao Yun could successfully raid Xinxi and take control of the city in such a short period of time.
This means that the situation has changed dramatically.
A deep sense of anxiety welled up in the envoy's heart, and he realized that this news would have a major impact on the plans and situation of Wei's southern expedition to Zang Ba and Sun Quan.
In just a few breaths, countless thoughts came to his mind.
He nervously pondered how to deal with it next, how to report this jaw-dropping news to King Wei.
At this moment, he felt unprecedented pressure, and he needed to act as soon as possible to calm the unease inside and outside Wei, and at the same time, he also needed to quickly report the actual situation to the King of Wei so that appropriate countermeasures could be taken.
"Your Highness's cunning, far beyond my expectations, I really believe Your Excellency's words!"
Dealing with a smart person like the crown prince of Hanzhong, he hoped to use a delaying tactic to keep him.
Now it's time to steal chickens and rice.
Hearing such news, the envoy of the King of Wei no longer wanted to stay here.
He wants to take advantage of the undecided situation in Runan to stabilize Runan County!
"Farewell to the foreign envoy!"
He also bowed to Liu Chan directly and perfunctorily, and was about to withdraw, not wanting the two knife and axe men at the door of the main hall, but they turned the knife and axe horizontally, so that he could not leave the hall.
"Your Highness, don't you still want to kill me?"
"Huh."
Liu Chan chuckled and said, "I have no intention of doing so. ”
"Then why don't you let me go?"
The envoy of the King of Wei was so angry that he wanted to breathe fire, and his tone became more and more irritable.
"I know the state of your lord, if you want to fight me, won't you fight on three sides? You Wei are willing to send 300 carts of grain and grass, sincerity is enough, the previous said covenant to cut the five cities, now you can negotiate, Anyang, Xinxi, Yiyang, Qisi, Yangquan. What do I want for the land of these five counties? ”
Obviously, he was the first to sneak attack, but now he dares to say that he abides by the covenant?
"His Royal Highness attacked last night, isn't it a betrayal?"
Liu Chan shook his head and said, "This is your plan to delay the army!" If I don't raise a war, can An get these five cities? Would you really like to give me five cities? ”
The soldier is treacherous.
In this Hanzhong crown prince Liu Gonghei, the envoy of the king of Wei really felt this trick.
After the sneak attack, you still dare to say that you didn't betray the alliance?
was so eloquent that for a while, he didn't even know how to refute it.
His mother!
I've never seen anyone so brazen!
...
There are also 4,000 words, which are sent out at twelve o'clock in the afternoon or five in the afternoon.
