When Xie Yan fell to the ground, he could see out of the corner of his eye that Zhang Meng had a sinister smile on his face and slashed with two knives, also slashing Xie Zhao and Xie Jun who were at a loss on the side.
After getting off the horse, the two men spurted blood from their mouths. More than a dozen guards around Zhang Meng slashed with swords and guns, and immediately chopped them into pieces.
Xie Yan felt a sharp pain in his heart, and Zhang Meng's proud laughter reached his ears: "Xie Yan, the Heavenly Master ordered me to lurk by your side for thirty years. Today, it is finally complete. I think of you as master and servant.
I'll give you a treat!
The light of the sword flashed, and Xie Yan felt his eyes go black, and he lost all consciousness. When his soul soared to the sky, he seemed to hear Zhang Meng's roar: "Xie Yan's head is here, whoever lets go will be spared."
die!"
Wuxing, Wuzhuang, Liu Yu slowly opened his eyes. The scenes just now were all on the pond newspaper, making him feel like he was immersed in the scene. Liu Yu looked at Xie Huan who was sobbing on the side and sighed.
"Third Young Master, you are lucky among misfortunes. Your Majesty allowed you to go back to the city, but you were able to escape the danger of death. Did this newspaper come from you?"
Xie Hun cried: "I and Xi Sengshi who joined the army were at the top of the city and saw everything that happened in the south of the Yangtze River. The army in the front was defeated and the city was in chaos. In addition, the inner thieves of Tianshi Dao took the opportunity to cause chaos. If Xi Canjun had not experienced
, I have already prepared the clothes of civilian husbands for the two of me to change into, I am afraid that we cannot even escape from this Shanyin City."
Liu Yu curled his lips: "Xi Sengshi? He is Xi Chao's adopted son. He was also in Shanyin City at that time?"
Xie Hun nodded and wiped away his tears: "Yes, after we left the city, we fled all the way and didn't stop until we were a hundred miles away. We are all officials of the imperial court and have the responsibility and obligation to report military information to the imperial court, so we hurriedly
I wrote two Tang newspapers and went separately. When passing through Haiyan City, I entered the city to report to the magistrate of Bao County, but Xi Canjun had already passed this place and ran towards Wuxing."
Bao Hou sighed: "It's rare for a good nephew to retain such a state of mind after a catastrophe. Unexpectedly, Zhang Meng is also a traitor to Tianshi Dao. Everyone thinks that he is your father's best friend. If he hadn't rebelled, your father would have been dead."
And the two young masters will not..."
Xie Hun's beard and hair were spread out, his eyes were blood red, and he said word for word: "If I can't kill this thief with my own hands, and eat his heart and liver alive to pay tribute to my father and two brothers, I will be incompetent in this life!"
Liu Yu said seriously: "Third Young Master, I would like to express my condolences. Your news is very timely. You are tired after running all the way. You should go and have a rest first. We will discuss the next move here."
Xie Hun's eyes sparkled with tears: "Liu Canjun, everyone in the world knows that you are a first-class general. Monsters and thieves are definitely no match for you. With you here, the people of Wu will have hope. Please summon the nearby people as soon as possible."
Soldiers and horses, fight back against the demon thieves. There is a large amount of food and grass in the Qiantang warehouse near Shanyin City. If the demon thieves are allowed to move away, I'm afraid the imperial court will no longer have the rations to fight in Wu!"
Liu Yu nodded: "This is the most troublesome thing. The demon thieves originally had hundreds of thousands of people, and food and grass were a big problem. Before leaving Yanshuai, Liu Muzhi repeatedly asked him to hold on and not fight until the Beifu army
After returning to the army, we jointly attacked the demon thieves, but now, alas..."
Having said this, Liu Yu was filled with emotion, and punched a horse-tying post nearby, causing the wooden post as thick as a man's arm to break into two pieces.
Xie Hun gritted his teeth and said: "I will go to Jingkou to ask General Liu Laozhi to come to help. I will also go to Jiankang to ask my aunt to contact the major families to donate food and provide children, so that we can fight the national disaster together."
As he spoke, he walked towards the door without looking back. This frail scholar, who usually walked as if he was about to be blown down by the wind, was actually moving faster than a well-trained sergeant. He had no choice but to
It makes people sigh at the stimulating effect of hatred on people in this country.
Liu Yu turned back to Bao Hao and said, "What the Third Young Master said makes sense. The target of the demon thieves is still the military rations in Qiantang warehouse. They will not attack directly to the north for a while, but it is not ruled out that the demon thieves will send small soldiers."
A large number of troops have come to conduct reconnaissance and harassment near Haiyan, so we still need to ask Magistrate Bao to organize the evacuation of the people as soon as possible. Yuan Neishi from the Wuxing area will assist the local people, and the combatants, including all Ding Zhuang in the city, must stay.
Please also open the arsenal and equip all the militiamen. There will be straw men all over the city and the military camp. Wear armor and set up more flags to make it look like a large army is assembled and ready. Only in this way can the thieves stop thinking about going north."
Bao Hou opened his eyes wide: "Even Yan Shuai's tens of thousands of troops were defeated. We have only a thousand troops here. Is it possible that we still have to garrison?"
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "You can't escape. You can't go fast with the people. Thousands of people can't walk fast together. In addition, people are panicked after the big defeat. The thieves only need dozens of spies to sneak into the crowd and make loud noises."
It can make the entire military and civilian brigade collapse without a fight. Haiyan is an important town connecting Shanyin and Wuxing. The city defense is strong. If the defense is abandoned, Wuxing will be difficult to defend. The entire prefecture and county south of Jiankang may form a large-scale rout.
The chain reaction will be that the rich people from all over the country who have just been recruited and pardoned may have distracting thoughts and become thieves again. In this way, Jiankang City will be in danger. Even if the Beifu Army comes back, it will be difficult to put down the demon thieves rebellion within a few years.
!”
Shen Yuanzi said loudly: "Brother Liu, we Shen family five tigers have entrusted our lives to you a long time ago. No matter what the war situation is, we will never be thieves again!"
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Of course I understand the loyalty of the Shen brothers, but other rich people may not be like you. Therefore, only by guarding Haiyan City and resisting the front line can we stabilize the situation that is on the verge of collapse.
Wu Di.”
Shen Qingzhi said sternly: "Liu Canjun said it very well. This is exactly the demeanor of a general who is calm in the face of danger, and it is also in line with the art of war. It is estimated that many broken soldiers will flee back from the front line, and we can just contain them, reorganize them, and join the battle.
.”
Liu Yu shook his head: "We can't count on a defeat. If the people who escape have just escaped with their lives and have no fighting spirit, putting them here will not only have no effect, but also shake the morale of the army. Lord Shen, what's the point?"
Please work harder and set up a special battalion to take in the defeated soldiers, give them food, treat their injuries, and also screen out the demons and spies of the Celestial Master Dao, so that no more thieves can sneak in."
Shen Yunzi rushed to say, "Let me cooperate with Lord Shen in doing this. We have been with the demon thieves for a long time, and we know their connections and spies very well. There is no way to escape my eyes."
Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Very good, then please Yunzi to make a hard trip. After taking in these people, let them withdraw to Wuxing with the people and ask Yuan Neishi to resettle them. In addition, if the Beifu army comes back again, the food and grass will be the largest
Question, most of the food stored in the Wu region is in Shanyin City. I also ask Magistrate Bao to quickly inform the court of the situation here. Please prepare enough food and grass before letting the Beifu army set off. Otherwise, the army will have no food and will be in chaos without fighting. The demons and thieves will
As long as you stick to Shanyin, you can defeat my Beifu army!"
