Liang Gang and Liu Xiang shrank back at the same time and asked in surprise, unable to believe what they heard.
Qin Yi had expected such a reaction from the two of them, and continued: "General Yuan led his troops and horses to leave, leaving us in Shouchun. If the siege is closed now, we will be waiting to die, and no one can come to rescue us. .If General Yuan had come for reinforcements, he would have come a long time ago. Sun Bofu has already defeated Zulang in Danyang, and now he is in Wu County to suppress Yan Baihu. I heard that he will lead troops to attack Kuaiji, so it is impossible for him to lead troops to rescue us."
"The three of us are now waiting for punishment. We have defended Shouchun to no avail. If we cannot defend, General Yuan will not spare us. Now Liu Xuande has a strong army and a very benevolent man. Let's surrender to him. , not only can you avoid death, but you can also be reused. This is the way to avoid death and survive!"
"This must never be done." Liu Xiang suddenly stood up, holding the handle of the knife in his hand, and said seriously, "We know that we are defeated by Liu Bei, and abandoning the city and retreating are just cowardly generals, but we must not do anything for those who are unfaithful and unjust. A traitorous general."
After Liu Xiang finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Liang Gang hurriedly held him back.
"General Liu, we are just discussing now, and this matter can be discussed again. However, in my opinion, Shouchun City is indeed difficult to defend. Even if it does not surrender to Liu Bei, we can leave as soon as possible and retreat to Lujiang River."
Qin Yi said: "If we retreat to Lujiang, we will die. Do you think General Yuan will exempt us from the death penalty?"
"Even if you are killed by General Yuan, you can still keep your name of loyalty, the children of the family will not be implicated, and your reputation will not be ruined. If you rebel and die, how can you face your ancestors? Hum, you can surrender if you want. Just leave, I won't leave Shouchun!"
After Liu Xiang finished speaking, he walked outside the tent.
But as soon as he took a few steps, Liang Gang and Qin Yi looked at each other, and they both stood up at the same time, drew their swords, and slashed at Liu Xiang from behind.
Liu Xiang saw that since Qin Yi had stated his intentions and he had expressed his objections, he was very likely to attack him, so he was on guard.
Hearing the movement behind him, he hurriedly jumped forward to avoid the knife behind him, then quickly turned around and drew the knife.
But what surprised him was that he originally thought that Qin Yi was the only one who wanted to kill him and silence him, so he and Liang Gang could work together to kill Qin Yi, but he didn't expect that Liang Gang also drew his sword and slashed at him.
The two of them actually conspired together.
The swords struck by Qin Yi and Liang Gang failed at the same time. Without hesitation, the two of them swung their swords at the same time to attack Liu Xiang.
Liu Xiang raised his sword to block Liang Gang, jumped back and narrowly avoided Qin Yi's sword.
Qin Yi took advantage of the situation and jumped to the door of the tent, guarded the tent door, and shouted: "Kill Liu Xiang."
The three guards outside the tent heard the noise and knew that the three people inside the tent were fighting, but they didn't know who was fighting with whom. At this time, they all drew their swords and faced each other.
This is Qin Yi's camp, and all the soldiers in the camp belong to him.
Hearing the shout, his bodyguard shouted: "Come here, kill Liu."
Following the shouts, hundreds of soldiers with bows, crossbows, halberds and spears rushed out from the surroundings and surrounded the camp and Liu Xiang and Liang Gang's personal guards outside the tent.
It turned out that Qin Yi had already made arrangements to ambush the soldiers. If Liu Xiang and Liang Gang disagreed with what he said, then they would have no choice but to kill them both.
Now that Liang Gang was willing to conspire with him, he just shouted to kill Liu Xiang. This was a signal to his soldiers that the only person he wanted to kill was Liu Xiang.
Liu Xiang and Liang Gang both brought only a dozen personal guards. Now they are surrounded by hundreds of soldiers. How can they dare to move?
Qin Yi's soldiers received the order and raised their spears and halberds to stab Liu Xiang's personal guards.
Liang Gang's personal guards just watched them being slaughtered blankly. They were completely confused about the situation and stood still without daring to move.
Inside the tent, Qin Yi and Liang Gang attacked each other with two attacks. Liu Xiang had three wounds on his body at this time, but he still raised his sword to resist.
"General Liu, don't blame me, blame you only for not understanding current affairs. General Yuan has no plan and talent. He only pursues his own desires and does not care about the public. It is only a matter of time before he perishes. General Liu Xuande is a benevolent and righteous man who loves the people and loves his general. He is a wise master.
We should abandon darkness and turn to light, even if we are not thinking about the people of the world, we should also think about our own lives."
Qin Yi said and raised his knife to strike Liu Xiang again.
Liu Xiang raised his sword and tried his best to block it. Although he blocked Qin Yi's sword, he was struck by Liang Gang from behind and fell immediately.
But he endured the pain, supported the ground with his knife, and slowly stood up. His clothes were stained red with blood. His face was filled with anger, and his eyes were wide open, staring at Qin Yi.
At this time, Qin Yi's soldiers rushed into the tent and surrounded him.
"I wish I could die on the battlefield, not in Zhang Fei's hands, but in your hands!"
As Liu Xiang spoke, he spurted a mouthful of blood towards Qin Yi.
Qin Yi raised his hand and waved, and the soldiers raised their spears and halberds to stab Liu Xiang.
More than a dozen spears and halberds pierced Liu Xiang's body. He vomited blood and died with his head hanging down.
"The matter has come to an end, General Liang. You quickly take people to kill Qiao Rui. I will open the city gate to welcome General Liu's troops into the city." Qin Yi said to Liang Gang.
The matter has been done, and Liang Gang has no choice but to continue on this path.
Now only by killing Qiao Rui can the soldiers and horses in the city be completely controlled.
He responded, went out of his tent, took his guards back to the camp, and took five hundred soldiers to find Qiao Rui.
Qin Yi rushed to the east city with a thousand soldiers to attack the city gate and welcome Liu Bei's troops into the city.
Since Yuan Shu left, Qiao Rui has become the most authoritative person in Shouchun City.
He moved into the place where Yuan Shu originally lived, just to show his authority.
Of the 10,000 troops in the city, Liu Xiang and Liang Gang and Qin Yi commanded 2,000 men each, and Qiao Rui commanded 4,000 men. Of course, Liu Xiang and the three men had to obey Qiao Rui's military orders.
Each city needs 2,000 men to guard, two shifts, each with 1,000 men, and the remaining 2,000 are mobile soldiers. If the enemy troops outside the city attack the city, these 2,000 mobile troops will support whichever side of the city the attack is strong.
.
The east side is guarded by Qiao Rui's soldiers, uu Kanshu www.uukanshu.com and the other three sides are guarded by Liu Xiang's three men.
But Qiaorui did not live in the camp, and there were only two hundred people guarding it.
In the night, Liang Gang led his soldiers holding torches to the gate of Qiao Rui's house.
The leader of the guard outside the door stepped forward to stop him and asked: "General Liang, it's so late, what's the purpose of bringing your troops here?"
Liang Gang was wearing armor and holding the hilt of a sword in his hand. His face looked anxious and he responded: "Liu Xiang wants to rebel against Liu Bei and is attacking General Qin Yi. I am here to protect General Qiao."
"General Liu Xiang rebelled against Liu Bei? Are you going to attack General Qin Yi?" The guard leader stretched out his ears to listen, but couldn't hear anything. "Then why is there no movement in the city?"
Qin Yi only killed Liu Xiang and did not lead his troops to attack Liu Xiang's barracks. There must be no movement.
Liang Gang glanced at the door of the mansion. It was closed now. If he wanted to break open the door, it would probably take a lot of time. He wanted to lure the door open and rush in directly.
But now that the leader of the guards outside the door didn't believe his words, it seemed that he could only kill the guards outside the door and rush in.
Just as he was about to draw his sword, someone suddenly came running towards him, shouting: "Someone is attacking Dongcheng and wants to open the door and leave the city to meet the enemy. Go and report it to General Qiao."
The guards at the East City Gate were suddenly attacked. It was night again, and before they could see whose soldiers and horses they were, they hurriedly ran to Qiao Rui to report the attack.
"First Evolution"
Liang Gang was overjoyed when he heard this and said anxiously: "Those are Liu Xiang's soldiers. Open the door quickly."
The guard leader did not have to believe what Liang Gang said, but he had to believe what the East City defenders said, and at this time, he had faintly heard shouts of killing coming from the direction of the East City Gate.
"Open the door." The guard leader called into the door.
Soon, Liang Gang saw the door open and shouted: "Kill!"
He drew his sword and cut down the guard leader, and his soldiers also raised their swords and cut down the guard outside the door, and rushed into the house.
