Liu Yu went downstairs to an idle wing, where the two old couples had already prepared a bucket full of hot water for him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he took off his clothes and held the green robe that Xie Anniang sewed for him when she parted. He looked at the dotted tears on his robe, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he said to himself, "You have to sew it before you wear it again." ”

He soaked in the hot water, looked up and sighed. The steam was steaming, and I saw that his muscles were full and knotted, and his body was slender and sturdy, and he was extremely fit for an adult man.

He rested his head against the wall of the barrel, intending to take a moment's rest. However, after half a pillar of incense, he found that the hot water in the bucket had been reduced to waist-high, and he was quite surprised, and stretched out his head to the outside of the bucket, but there was no water leaking on the ground, so he hurriedly shouted outside the house.

After the shopkeeper heard the voice, he hurriedly carried a handful of hot water into the house, and poured the water into the bucket, "Master Guan, why is this water not ......?"

He wanted to ask where the water in the barrel had gone, but he was too embarrassed to say it, after all, it was easy to mistake people for stinginess.

Liu Yu was in a daze pressing the new acupoint with a faint pain in his abdomen, "I don't know either!"

After Lao Er went out, he stared carefully at the waterline on the edge of the barrel, and after a while, the waterline dropped another slap distance. He was very helpless, so he had to scrub it quickly, finish the bath, put on a tattered green robe, covered it with clean clothes sent by Lao'er, smoothed the black hair of the shawl to the back of his head, and then walked out of the house.

The old man waited outside the house and saddled the only yellow horse in the house as he commanded.

At the same time, the sound of fierce fighting could be heard from the walls of the city several miles away, with men shouting horses neighing and drums beating in unison.

He took the reins from Lao Er's hand and turned over on his horse, "Thank you, old man!"

Lao Er bowed to him, "Master Guan, it's not peaceful outside, you have to go and come back quickly!"

He looked up at the burly young man with the hair, and felt a little more stable in his heart, hoping that this man would stay and keep his little inn safe.

"Okay!" Liu Yu rode his horse and raised his whip, and the horse neighed, like an arrow from the string, and went straight to the distant battle.

Lao Er stood firmly in place, stunned, he had lived all his life, and had seen many generals and princes galloping past the door of their homes on tall horses, but it was rare for them to be so skilled in equestrianism.

In Yongzhou City, on the wall of Andingmen, all the soldiers were exhausted, everyone's eyes were bloodshot, their armor was torn, and they were covered in blood. The thief army outside the city did not know whether it was crazy or not, and they attacked the city for three days and three nights. Immediately below the city wall, the corpses were piled up layer after layer, but these people did not know that they were dead, and they still rushed to the city wall with the corpses.

In order to defend this place, the officers and soldiers were guarded by five generals, and the vast majority of the troops in the city were gathered. At noon, the scorching sun roasted the earth and smoked, and a large amount of blood on the ground was dried in an instant, turning purple and black. The soldiers' mouths were dry, but no one dared to leave the city wall to drink a sip of water, just because the city gate of Anding was already in danger, and the entire Yongzhou city was in danger.

An overwhelming rain of arrows came from under the city wall, and officers and soldiers continued to fall to the ground with arrows. The thieves under the city began to push the rushing carts, and rushed towards the city gate in unison. The gates of Anding City were slammed one after another, and the door panels rattled, and several thumb-thick cracks appeared.

"Let's go, go down to the tower!" the five guards shouted loudly with their swords, and rushed down the tower with thousands of soldiers, gathering behind the city gate. Dozens of rejecting horses swung open to the city gate, in case the city gate was broken, and some thief cavalry took the opportunity to rush in. The generals nervously clenched the sabers in their hands, and their hands were covered with sweat. Behind them, thousands of sergeants were ready to go.

The generals walked around the front of the formation, and they all felt that there was still something wrong with this, so they got together to discuss, "Or, invite Lord Thorn Shi over?"

It's not so much "please" as "tie".

Just last night, when a general was patrolling, he encountered several middle-aged men carrying stretchers and boxes and wanted to sneak out of the city at night, so they were all arrested, but they found that the person lying on the stretcher was the assassin Zhang Wenzheng, and the contents of the box were all gold, silver and jewelry embezzled by this person when he was a parent official in Yongzhou.

It turned out that Zhang Wenzheng saw that Yongzhou City was going to be broken sooner or later, and regardless of his body that was injured by Liu Yu, he desperately wanted to escape from the city and return to Chang'an.

The soldiers fought bloodily in front, but the commander fled. Seeing this situation, all the soldiers were filled with righteous indignation, and after some discussion, several main generals did not care about how the court would punish them in the future, and immediately put Zhang Wenzheng under house arrest. Anyway, if you want to die together, you must not let this person run away.

"Although Zhang Tingshi is cowardly and greedy, judging from the situation the night before, this person is indeed outstanding in the use of troops. One of the generals nodded.

"Then let's invite him over. Another general agreed with him.

After some deliberation among the five generals, they finally decided to bring Zhang Wenzheng to the city gate. After the order was issued, several soldiers who accompanied the sergeants rode their horses and whips to the city to stab the history of the mansion and galloped away. The Thorn Shi Mansion was not far from Andingmen, and the soldiers had already ridden back with only half a cup of tea, and one of the horses was carrying a person on his back, which was Zhang Wenzheng.

Several sergeants helped Zhang Wenzheng off his horse and brought him to the five generals. Zhang Wen's front skin was sallow, and his feet were dragged to the ground, and he couldn't stand up. He said with a sad face: "Generals, what are you still looking for me, I have said it many times, and I really don't understand anything about war." ”

The generals showed contempt in their eyes, but they still saluted him slightly. The first general looked excited, and he just put the knife on Zhang Wenzheng's neck, "Lord Zhang, the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, you can't ignore it!"

Another general chimed in: "Yes, Lord Zhang. The commander of the thief army attacking the city outside is Zhu Wen, who Huang Chao has admired the most in recent years, and this person is known as brave and invincible. If you don't want to think about the strategy, our Yongzhou City really can't be saved. He shook the knife in his hand in front of Zhang Wenzheng, "If Yongzhou is lost, the humble general thinks that Lord Zhang will not live alone, right?"

Another general said: "Lord Zhang, when you summoned us to the government the day before yesterday, the troops you raised were very good. Why did you suddenly change your mind and abandon the safety of the people of the city!?"

Zhang Wenzheng only cried, "Hey, generals, no matter what I say, you won't believe it." The person who sent you the task the night before yesterday was really not me, but the people of the Ouchi Hidden Guard. ”

"No way, we were only present at the time, and every military order sent to us was very effective. How can an adult not serve his country if he is both a gentleman and a full of strategy?" a general stood up indignantly and retorted.
