Chapter 461 Those who surrender will not be killed!
"General Gan, you scolded that guy Lu He today, you are so mighty and powerful that we admire you endlessly!" A general showed admiration on his face.
Another general agreed, "Indeed, General Gan is a rare brave man in the world. How could he be afraid of that despicable villain Lu He!"
Hearing the praise from everyone, Gan Shouwei smiled and said, "Not to mention anything else, I don't even look at Lu He! If it weren't for the overall situation, so as not to be caught by the enemy soldiers and take advantage of it, how could I Just give up and let it go."
When everyone heard this, they quickly said, "General Gan is so righteous, I will give you a toast to the general!"
In the main hall, all the generals raised their glasses and toasted to Guard Gan.
Gan Shoubei was quite proud, so he also raised his glass and said, "I've done it!"
After he finished speaking, he was so bold that he raised his neck and drank the wine in the cup instantly!
Everyone also drank, and then praised, "General Gan has a huge amount, hurry up, give it to General Gan again!"
A servant standing nearby came forward with a wine bottle and poured wine for Gan Shoubei.
But suddenly, Gan Shoubei was shocked, as if he had epilepsy, trembling crazily, blood-colored foam flowing from his mouth, and suddenly fell to the ground, unconscious!
The servant screamed in fright, and the wine bottle fell to the ground, making a sharp sound.
When the generals saw this scene, they were also shocked. They reacted quickly and rushed forward, shouting urgently, "General, general!"
One person tested it and found that Gan Shoubei's breathing was extremely weak, like a candle in the wind, as if it would be extinguished in the next moment.
The man was horrified. Just as he was about to speak, he saw thick black blood flowing out of Gan Shoubei's nostrils. He shouted in panic, "General Gan has been poisoned!"
……
There are not many places in the city that have not been plundered by soldiers, and brothels are one of them.
Just so that the brothel can continue to operate.
Soldiers with no military discipline rely on this to make a living.
Of course, the absence of robbery does not mean the absence of exploitation.
Every time the soldiers went to the brothel to have fun, they never paid, so the brothel's income dropped sharply.
After all, there are only so many fields, and there are too many cattle that don’t pay, occupying the cultivated land. Even if other cattle have money, they have nowhere to use it.
What's more, the city has been plundered by soldiers again and again. Not to mention ordinary people, even wealthy businessmen and gentry have no money left. It is lucky to be able to survive and not starve to the point of being skinny. How can I still have energy and financial resources? Spend money on going to a brothel.
Therefore, not only did the brothels lose their income, but they also had to provide subsidies, making it difficult to continue their business, and many brothels closed down one after another.
In order to prevent the situation from worsening, many generals have ordered that soldiers are not allowed to go to brothels anymore.
After that, the few remaining brothels had many generals as regular customers.
As small as a hundred households of the seventh rank, or as large as a fifth rank guard, they are all qualified to go to the brothel and show off their glory.
Among the few remaining brothels, Huahonglou is the most famous, and among Huahonglou, Yanyan is the most beautiful.
She is the famous oiran in Zhaolie Mansion, and now she has become a forbidden favorite among the guards.
The four guards, one each, took turns to go into battle, thus forming a deep friendship. When they met, they would exchange information on last night's battle situation.
That night, it was Jiang Shoubei who was galloping.
In the morning, he witnessed a tense scene, but failed to fight. Jiang Shoubei was quite excited, so he vented his energy here.
Suddenly, Jiang Shoubei, who was fighting with all his strength, relied on his keen hearing to capture an unusual sound.
It's very slight, and it's hard to hear if you don't listen carefully.
Anyone else would have ignored him, but Jiang Shoubei was cautious, so he frowned slightly and stopped.
"Damn it, isn't this going to work?" The woman on the bed made a sticky voice, "I'm willing to guard, but I'm better than you!"
Hearing this, Jiang Shoubei became angry. Isn't that guy Gan Ling just a reckless man? How can he be no match for this guy?
Thinking like this, Jiang Shoubei threw away his doubts and continued to fight.
Suddenly, a bone-gnawing pain came from his chest and abdomen. Gan Shouwei trembled violently, and his eyes suddenly opened!
"Uh..." groaning in a low voice, he slowly lowered his head and saw half a sharp blade coming out of his chest, and blood was flowing out crazily!
My heart is filled with despair!
Jiang Shoubei wanted to turn his head to see who was behind him, but the pain kept coming and he couldn't turn back at all. He could only hear the footsteps of the other person leaving slowly.
Huge pain erupted, Jiang Shoubei shook violently a few times, his head drooped, and his vitality had disappeared.
"Damn it, this is really going to happen!" The woman on the bed, seeing Jiang Shoubei motionless, got up and prepared to tease Jiang Shoubei.
But through the dim moonlight, she saw a horrifying scene.
The sharp blade penetrated Jiang Shoubei's body!
With her eyes wide open, the woman stepped back in horror and screamed, "Ahhhh!"
……
"General, something big has happened! Gan Shoubei and Jiang Shoubei were both assassinated tonight!" A soldier rushed to Captain Zhao and said urgently.
Captain Zhao couldn't sleep all night. He was leaning on the railing, looking into the distance, thinking about King Mu's situation.
He was still thinking about whether he should find someone to sneak into the government office and investigate King Mu's situation, but he didn't expect to hear such bad news. He was shocked and asked in horror, "Who did it?"
The soldier did not answer. Instead, he was startled and pointed into the distance, "General, look over there!"
Captain Zhao turned his head and looked into the distance, but suddenly felt a strong force coming from him!
After being pushed hard, Captain Zhao couldn't stand firm and immediately fell from the railing.
After pushing Captain Zhao down the tall building, the soldier smiled coldly and looked out. He was suddenly dazzled. He quickly retracted his head and murmured, "It's so high that you can't fall to your death!"
Immediately, he turned around, left quickly, and went back to resume his life.
……
In the main hall of the government office, many generals gathered together.
Everyone's face is full of anger and panic.
Three generals died overnight, including two guards.
This situation frightened many generals.
Lu He was also furious and had already ordered a search throughout the city to find out the murderer, bring him to justice, and avenge several generals.
His behavior was extremely normal and blameless, but some generals looked at him suspiciously.
Everyone knows that the two guards, Jiang and Gan, are at odds with Lu He. Yesterday, a few people even had a conflict, and they almost got into a fight.
That night, two guards, Jiang and Gan, died, which made people doubt that this incident might have something to do with Lu He.
Suspicion is suspicion, but no one raised a voice to question. If it was really Lu He's hand, if one dared to question it now, the consequences would be like two guards, Jiang and Gan, dying of assassination.
Of course, there are still warriors, and a general shouted angrily, "Lu He, does this matter have anything to do with you?"
This man's surname was Bao, a captain, and he and Captain Zhao, who died yesterday, were brothers.
Captain Zhao's death was unclear. How could Captain Bao tolerate it, so he asked.
When Lu He heard this, his eyes suddenly shrank, and he stared at Captain Bao closely, "General Bao, you have to use evidence to speak, how can you spit on others!"
"Yesterday, two guards, Jiang and Gan, as well as Lao Zhao, had a conflict with you. They died last night. How do you explain it?" Bao Duwei said coldly.
Lu He scolded, "Not only the three people you mentioned, but also other generals came to the government office yesterday. Why didn't you see anything happen to them?"
"I think someone wants to frame me! I'm the one who made the scandal first. If I catch anyone who assassinates a colleague and frames me, I won't be lenient!" Lu He said in a ferocious voice.
After hearing this, the generals frowned slightly and could not say much. They could only wait for the results of the investigation.
……
Walled city, in the palace.
Qin Yi stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the bamboo forest outside the hall, and said firmly to Mao Lifu beside him, "Give me the order, the whole army will attack and besiege the city!"
He has noticed that the rumors have almost spread.
It's time to surround the city and increase the pressure on the people in the city.
By then, no matter how cautious the generals in the city are, they will become irritable under pressure and turn against each other!
Then, he said aloud, "Surround only three sides of the city, let go of the north, and make kites and spread them into the city!"
Countermeasures and psychological schemes must be used together!
……
"General, the enemy troops have left the city and are heading towards Fucheng!"
When he heard the report from his subordinates, Lu He was startled, stood up suddenly, and said in a hurry, "Be prepared to defend the city. If the enemy soldiers dare to attack the city, they will fight back hard!"
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately responded and hurried away.
Lu He quickly penetrated the armor with the help of his own soldiers.
At this moment, a soldier rushed over again and said urgently, "General, the enemy troops have stopped six miles away from the city and have begun to set up camp. They are not attacking. They are only besieging the southeast and west sides, except the north.
No enemy soldiers!"
Hearing this, Lu He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the enemy soldiers did not attack the city.
But immediately, he was still full of solemnity. Who knows whether the enemy soldiers will suddenly attack if they are not attacking?
Therefore, from now on, you have to cheer up and never fall into Qin Yi’s tricks!
With this in mind, he put on his armor and walked out of the hall with his soldiers, hoping to patrol the city wall.
But suddenly, a soldier rushed over with something in his hand and shouted, "General, general, a kite flew out of the city, and there was writing on it!"
When Lu He heard this, he immediately understood that Qin Yi was engaging in scheming!
He quickly took it and saw a line written on the kite, "King Mu is dead. Don't resist. I promise that those who surrender will not be killed. Those who offer the heads of King Mu and his son will be heavily rewarded! Those who open the door and dedicate the city will be rewarded."
,Reward!'
Seeing this line, Lu He was furious, violently tore the kite apart, and shouted angrily, "Hateful!"
Qin Yi is so hateful!
Use whatever means you can!
Lu He knew that this move could disrupt the morale of the army to a certain extent.
After all, compared to the enemy soldiers, Fucheng is completely at a disadvantage!
After being furious for a long time, Lu He turned around and said in a ferocious voice to his confidant General Ye Duwei, "Send people to guard the government office and no one is allowed to come near!"
Captain Ye nodded quickly.
Stepping forward, Lu He lowered his voice and whispered. His voice was as cold as ten thousand years of ice, "Send someone to kill Yu Shouwei and Bao Duwei!"
Originally, he did not intend to take action so quickly, as it would easily arouse suspicion. After all, Jiang and Gan, the two defenders, had just died.
In addition, Captain Bao had reprimanded him in court before.
But now, Qin Yi is using counterintuitive tactics, and these guys are already restless and may defect before the battle begins.
For the sake of the stability of the city, the unstable factors must be eradicated as soon as possible!
