Suddenly he said: "I'm here to kill you, Wushuang General."
Deng Wushuang coughed violently, and blood foam overflowed from his mouth. He coughed and laughed: "I know."
"Just die." Deng Wushuang said meaninglessly. He wanted to stand up, but he had no strength.
There is nothing much to say about success and failure, except that I have never defeated General Long Wei once in my life, so I feel really unwilling to do so.
Zhou Xu inserted the spear into Deng Wushuang's left abdomen, and when he curled up in pain, he said: "I was thinking when I came here that if you were captured alive, I would cut you into pieces."
Deng Wushuang took a hard look at Zhou Xu. He knew that this man always kept his word and was ruthless.
Zhou Xu looked at Deng Wushuang with a cruel smile: "So, you are really unlucky."
Deng Wushuang froze while biting his tongue. He had heard this many times. The pity words of others were full of regrets. Wushuang, why do you want to be in the same era as Zhou Xusheng? He fought countless battles, won more than lost, and also made the Turks fearful. , but still can't compare. I don't know how many people compare him with Zhou Xu intentionally or unintentionally, and finally say with regret, your luck is so bad, like the words of a nightmare.
In this life, he had heard too much, but he never expected that in the end, all he could say was "bad luck". Deng Wushuang closed his eyes and coughed violently again. The old general was in vain. The greatest sorrow is the death of the heart. After so many years, this People still poke their lungs when they talk.
Finally, Zhou Xu was on the city wall, watching Deng Wushuang being quartered by five horses.
The air was full of the smell of the enemy's blood, and in the city, the joy of victory in the war was transmitted to every living Long Xiaojun.
Zhou Xu was sitting on the city wall, with an old Youzhou knife across his knees, and his rough fingertips were sharpening the peace charm given by his wife. He killed a general he knew before. There was not much in his heart. After all, after all these years, Countless old friends have died,
He just hasn't seen his wife for many days, it's strange.
Zhou Xu thought for a long time, and the emotion that suddenly hit him just now was probably the loneliness of sitting alone on a high platform with no one around.
Chapter 254 War
Xuzhou.
Han Fu sat motionless by the small pond in the courtyard. Deng Wushuang was defeated and was quartered by five horses in Zhou Youzhou. He died in a horrifying manner. Wu Ziying, the governor of Daizhou, was beheaded not long after he took office. After careful calculation, he was actually better than Gao Zhi in Hexi was short-lived. He killed two Jiedu envoys in succession, and controlled Youzhou, Hexi, and Daizhou. As for He Man, who was hovering in Hexi and was unable to advance or retreat, he may have quickly followed in Deng Wushuang's footsteps.
Han Fu slowly stood up and looked at the quiet pool water.
The original good situation suddenly collapsed!
Originally, he and He Man were co-directing the battle in Luochuan City. Unexpectedly, Youzhou counterattacked too quickly and too hard. Chang Shuanglin almost surrounded He Man and fought. Seeing that the situation was not good, he led the Shenwu Army After leaving He Man, he wanted to find Deng Wushuang, but unexpectedly got the news that he was quartered by five horses.
After knowing each other for many years, Han Fu died tragically. He led a battalion of Shenwu troops to Xuzhou. Hearing the footsteps behind him, Han Fu turned around and saluted with his hands in his hands: "Duke."
Wei Yanshan sat down in the octagonal pavilion next to the small pond and said concisely: "Sit."
Han Fu sat down.
"Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs. Wushuang will die, and I am very heartbroken." After a long time, Wei Yanshan said that he indeed felt very sorry.
Han Fu looked defeated: "The wars have been unfavorable one after another, and I feel ashamed of my country."
Wei Yanshan showed a smile: "In fact, there is not much loss. At least Zhou Xu has not shaken our true foundation at all. In the future, just be aware of your shame and be brave. Don't worry too much."
His foundation has always been the impregnable Taiyuan, not Jiangnan Road. The Taiyuan city he relies on cannot be broken by the Youzhou soldiers. Even the Lei family's Fenglei camp, which was the first to ascend the camp, has to sigh in front of the four fortresses of Taiyuan. If If you want to break through Taiyuan City, you must exert a hundred times your strength.
Han Fu said ashamedly: "Yes."
"Since Daizhou has been lost, you will lead your troops from Xuzhou today and jointly attack Guangling with the Anguo Army in Luoyang. I have ordered Wang Wanwan to cooperate with you." Wei Yanshan twisted a white chess piece and placed it on the chessboard. , elegant and graceful.
"I will definitely fulfill my mission." Han Fu raised his spirits and said with cupped hands.
Outside the pavilion, it was drizzling.
Wei Yanshan looked at the gray and gloomy sky. The war had lasted until mid-October, and this year's rainy season seemed to have sensed the war in the world. Rivers overflowed, agricultural plants were damaged, and many counties and counties already had signs of food shortages. Thirteen Two or three people from Zhouzhou Mu suggested to him that he might reconcile with Zhou Youzhou, and it would not be too late to fight next year.
Wei Yanshan just put those letters aside and turned a deaf ear.
Raindrops dripped down the eaves to the steps. Wei Yanshan sorted out the various events since the war, and finally thought of Zhou Xuhuo's attack on the main city of Daizhou. He looked at the rain curtain between the sky and the earth, and suddenly asked softly.
"Do you still remember the Xun family in Qinghe County?"
"Remember." Han Fu said.
"When you arrive in Luoyang, contact him secretly and ask him to do something for me."
Han Fu waited quietly for the next step.
Wei Yanshan's eyes were calm and he said: "Last month was the last month of the flood season, but I think the rain still has no intention of stopping. The rivers in Zhenzhou are dense. Even before Liang Xing rushed to Jinling, an official told me that the water in Zhenzhou The Niluo River is already overwhelmed, and the banks must be guarded day and night to reinforce the banks. If we are not careful, there may be a major flood."
Han Fu's heart suddenly jumped.
"If I remember correctly, Qinghe County is located downstream of the Niluo River." Wei Yanshan turned to look at Han Fu: "Let the Xun family find a way to flood the Qinghe River."
Han Fu was silent for a moment. Once the Qinghe River bursts its banks and the flood breaks out, it will not only flood Qinghe County. He made a rough calculation and found that □□ counties will be affected by the disaster, with refugees everywhere. Finally, Han Fu sighed: "I obey."
"Let the Xun family do this well. It will be a matter of great fortune and wealth, as well as high officials and salaries." After Wei Yanshan finished speaking, he started playing chess again. If Zhou Xu had a fire attack, then Wei Yanshan would play with water. Attack and see who wins in the end.
"I heard that Zhou Youzhou's bride is now in Qinghe." Han Fu picked up a black stone and played chess with the Duke. This news can be found out with a little research.
Wei Yanshan lowered his head and played chess: "Isn't this very good? Kill two birds with one stone."
Han Fu breathed out: "He seems to have a lot of love for Mrs. Huarong. If the flooding of the lower city is really successful, whether this person needs the Xun family to save her life will be left for later reference."
Wei Yanshan pondered for a moment, but then shook his head: "There must be someone special to protect her. The Xun family's rash attack will arouse alarm, so that they don't have to do anything extra. Once the flooding is successful, they should get out immediately and not stay in Qinghe."
Han Fu still felt a little pity: "It is said that Mrs. Huarong is particularly valued by Zhou Youzhou. It would be great if she could be caught."
Wei Yanshan laughed out loud. He dropped Bai Zi, shook his head at Han Fu and said, "Everyone of you said that Zhou Xuduo likes his bride. I think you have all been deceived by him."
Han Fuqi asked: "What do you mean by my lord's words?"
"If you really love him, why don't you let his bride give birth to his heir?" Wei Yanshan said lightly: "Why don't you see who he will leave his grand plan of dominance to in the end."
"Perhaps Young Master Youzhou is difficult to deal with. After all, he has grown up." Han Fu thought for a while and said.
Wei Yanshan wanted to laugh even more: "For a son whose mother's clan is unhappy, even if Zhou Xu is crippled, so what? Who dares to comment?"
Han Fu thought deeply about the Duke's words and exclaimed: "It's true."
As we all know, the power of Young Master Youzhou's mother clan is really not worthy of a reputation. With a new heir, those people can't make any trouble. Yes, even if it is abolished, what can it do?
"In this case, Mrs. Huarong is just an illusion created by Zhou Youzhou to deceive the world. The purpose is to win over the scholars in Jiangnan." Han Fu murmured.
"How can you be so cunning and calculating?" Wei Yanshan felt that Zhou Youzhou had probably been pretending for so long that even the world believed him.
"I have learned a lesson." Han Fu said.
"After the water floods the Qinghe River, whether Mrs. Huarong lives or dies depends on God's will." Although there is a high possibility that she will die without rebirth, Wei Yanshan thought of Mrs. Huarong, who had heard about Da Chu last year, with a cold voice, and said to Zhou Youzhou The hypocritical gesture made is even more derisory.
A bride who has no children of her own will have to live her life depending on her step-son's looks and be tortured.
This is Zhou Manzi's display of love. Wei Yanshan only finds it funny. He doesn't love anyone, but he also knows the importance of heirs to women. He is not as shameless as Zhou Manzi. The bride is a daughter of the Xiao family and he wants to win over her. Disciples of the Xiao family naturally want to be kind to Xiao family girls, but temporary preference is nothing but the moon in the mirror, and the false love will fall apart sooner or later.
After Han Fu left, Wei Yanshan played chess alone.
Chapter 255 (revision)
When Han Fu arrived in Luoyang, he immediately approached Wei Yunzhou. Wei Yunzhou was very happy and told Secretary Han Dazhang to take charge of the matter. If there was a fight, just let him go.
Han Fu kept thinking about the situation of the war in his mind, and did not even visit Erlangjun who lived in Luoyang. The lord had now sent the Shenwu Army to fight against Zhou Youzhou who was going south.
There is still a lord in Xuzhou who personally directs the battles. Those Xuzhou soldiers who returned north are indeed not well-intentioned. A song of Xuzhou wanderers made the morale in Xuzhou city low. Many generals actually asked to let those Xuzhou soldiers enter the city. Pang Taiqiu was It took several kills to curb this trend.
The Xuzhou soldiers who returned to the north were unable to return home, so they immediately showed their ferocious nature and defected to Youzhou. They joined forces with Cao Heilong and others to attack Xiapi, hoping to capture Xuzhou. Now Xuzhou is also at war.
On his side, Luoyang had strong soldiers and horses, so Han Fu was very confident about the next attack. He looked at the rain outside and didn't feel irritated anymore.
Come on, come on, let it fall bigger, he was looking forward to it in his heart, it would be better to have a huge flood. After Zhou Youzhou is completely defeated, his lord will restore peace to the world.
Sacrifice now is indispensable. Han Fu first wrote to Shi Funan in Xuanzhou, severely reprimanding him on behalf of his lord for his inaction in conquering You, and asked him to attack Guangling immediately and stop watching from the sidelines.
Then Wei Yunzhou was invited to come over and explain, and asked him to send 30,000 troops from Shanyangdu to Chuzhou. Wang Wanwan would help him in attacking Chu. If necessary, he would capture it again, then transfer to Shennong, and finally attack with Xuanzhou soldiers!
Wei Yunzhou took the order and left.
Han Fu looked at the information on the Xun family on the desk and carefully thought about the candidates. Who should be allowed to contact the Xun family? He first found his lord's disciples, the Liu brothers, and asked them about their experiences in Guangling, as well as the appearance and behavior of Mr. After Pu answered, he asked a question: "Secretary Han, I heard that Ge Shenxian died in Guangling City."
Han Fu frowned. A small person like Ge Shenxian loved money as much as his life. When Fun Nan fell in love with him, he usually looked down upon him. But after all, he was the master's retainer, even if he was interested in someone like Liu Pu. No matter how displeased the ranger was, he still said yes as an answer.
Liu Pu listened in silence. He did not expect that Ge Shenxian, who defected to Zhou Youzhou, would be executed by Ling Chi. In this case, his sister's revenge would be avenged by Zhou Youzhou?
For a moment, Liu Pu felt a little confused and confused.
The sister next to him was also a little surprised. After walking out of the room, Liu Ya touched the white cloth that covered her eyes and said bitterly: "Whoever asked him to kill, we will kill whoever he kills!"
Liu Ya did not feel happy that her enemy was dead. The hatred in her heart was like a blocked hole with no outlet. It accumulated in her heart. She gritted her teeth with growing hatred. She threw away her brother's hand and left. Liu Pu quickly Catch up.
Han Fu thought for a long time and finally found someone.
That man passed by the Liu Pu brothers and sisters.
He is a painter who has been living under the lord's family for two or three years. He lives in Luoyang and lives in seclusion. His painting skills are famous in the Eastern Capital. His paintings are lifelike and fake, and they are always sought after by Luoyang dignitaries and courtesans.
"I'm meeting Secretary Han." The painter's robe is dyed with various colors, and the jade trees stand in the wind.
"Ning Hongcheng, you will paint a painting later and give the painting to the Xun family in Qinghe. Is it possible?" Han Fu stared at the painter.
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, the painter nodded and said, "What does the secretary want me to draw?"
"Just draw a river." Han Fu said, "When you get to Xun's house, you can change the name to Zhang Shui."
The painter suddenly felt nervous, but he was under the eaves, so he had no choice but to paint a picture, and after being given a few more instructions, he was sent out of Luoyang by Secretary Han Zhang, straight down the river.
The end of the month.
Xiao Luolan received the news that Wei Yunzhou of Luoyang had set off with his army from the waterway of Shanyangdu. She had read the map. If she set off from Shanyangdu, she would have to pass through Chuzhou. No wonder Wang Wanwan was crazy about attacking Chuzhou recently. Shennong's Gao Chongying said that he was ready to wait for the Wei army.
The armies of the two sides are huge and the war is about to break out.
The enemy seems to be attacking very fiercely this time. Xu Huaance, who is stationed in Guangling, is resolutely defending the city. Because Xuanzhou is relatively close to Guangling, fighting has already started in Guangling.
Xiao Luolan originally didn't expect Shi Fu Nan to stand aside forever in Xuanzhou, so she wasn't surprised when she heard the news. She was sorting out medicinal materials in a pharmacy. The war on the front line was tense, and the demand for medicines for soldiers increased. She couldn't help but At that time, I spent time in the pharmacy collecting and drying herbs to stop bleeding. Xia He and Dong Xue were nearby to help.
Panax notoginseng, blood charcoal, agrimony, palm, cattail, mugwort leaves, panax notoginseng, Sanguisorba, Imperata root, Baiji, Sophora japonica, Platycladus orientalis leaves. Over time, Xiao Luolan got to know all these herbs. Now, the courtyard where she lives has almost become a pharmacy. After working hard every day, she spends her evenings watching the information sent by Amu and General Yi.
Xiao Luolan looked at the battlefield news and could imagine how much pressure they were under.
Xiao Luolan exhaled softly, and when she walked out of the room, she saw Shiliu sitting on the steps under the door, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, looking at the sky carelessly, and holding a red tassel helmet in his hand.
Zhou Shiliu turned around with a bright smile.
