After He Lianchi and several others were captured alive by Fan Mo, and they lost their leader, they were unwilling to die for Yu Fuluo, so they stopped at the Nan River and were at a loss. The Tiefu people knew their mentality, so they sent about thirty people to Qiqu people to spread the word: Yuvluo was heartbroken, and the imperial court came to uphold justice for the Xiongnu people, and had no intention of arguing with you. It only wanted to overthrow Yuvluo. Fuluo, the imperial court can still avoid paying tribute for two years!
The propaganda room also distributed slogans in the procession, and many people in the canal department could read Chinese characters. The literate people discussed with each other and felt that the slogans were reasonable. As the elite of the country, the Tiefu people had all voted for the imperial court. Why should we persist? So he surrendered happily. When Liu Bei came out of the city to greet him, 40,000 Huns cheered him as if he were the Chanyu of the Huns.
Of course there are discordant sounds. After Empress Helianchi was captured, her hands and feet were tied and thrown on the horse, like a collapsed dead dog. However, he was still strong in his mouth and cursed Empress Helianchi all the way. His words were extremely abusive and he compared her to a dolphin. Drowning the dog arrow is Han Xian, who has a rough background. Hearing this, he couldn't help but ask Fan Mo in a low voice: "Why don't you give him a knife?"
Helian Fanmo shook his head, pointed at Liu Bei and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu is right in front of me, the angel is silent, how dare I go past him and kill people?" Upon hearing this, Liu Bei also cupped his hands and smiled and said: "Now the people's support is the general trend. Anyone with a discerning eye can know it, but it was only because of a righteous man like Brother Helian who dared to take the lead that Liu Bei dared to send troops to quell the chaos. Unexpectedly, the iron bones of Guduhou forced him to sacrifice his life for Yu Fuluo. "
After hearing this, Empress Helianchi glanced sideways at Liu Bei and cursed: "Who is Yu Fuluo? A big-eared thief! In the war last year, I went into battle and was not defeated. It was just your tricks and tricks to deceive people's hearts. What the hell?" Hero? I, a dignified iron man, am about to fight a life-or-death battle with my bow and horse. How can I be bound by the hands of a villain? If you have the ability, let me go. Each of the two armies will retreat five miles, set up their formation, and fight again in front of the city! "
Liu Bei said in admiration: "He is indeed a hot-blooded man." Then he personally helped him to the horse and untied him. Empress Helianchi looked at a loss, but Liu Bei smiled and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight you again. , now that Xianbei is invading south, time is running out, so save your bravery for killing the enemy!"
After saying that, he brought a white-footed horse to him. When Zaochi was stunned, Liu Bei and Han Siam were already chatting and laughing with Fan Mo and leading the army into the city. The crowds were flowing around him, as if they had never met him before. The arrogance of the Red Queen held him up, neither advancing nor retreating. After a long time, the arrogance subsided into a sullen feeling. Finally, the Red Queen sighed. He turned on his horse with a frown on his face and silently joined the trend.
When Fan Mo entered the city, Chen Chong was still sorting out the inventory, obviously knowing the outcome. When Liu Bei led the crowd into the king's tent, he put down the paper and said with a smile to Helian Fanmo: "With Brother Helian's help, Humphrey must have been furious." Helian Fanmo said seriously: "It's all ordinary. , I just hope Mr. Chen will not forget what he promised."
It turned out that when Chen Chong was living in seclusion in Baibo, he learned that the Tiefu people were only a hundred miles away from him, so he took advantage of them. During the battle at Quyu, he had a deep memory of the ferocious behavior of the former Tiefu Wolf Cavalry, so he entrusted the Baibo guards sent by Guo Da to help inquire about information about Tiefu's various ministries. Because of the tandem with Huliba, the Tiefu people no longer served as royal guards after the war, but instead took more precautions against Yu Fuluo. The Tiefu people were quite resentful about this. At the beginning of the year, Chen Chong had skin care treatments, and the Tiefu people also treated him as an honored guest. Although the etiquette was not good enough, Chen Chong had determined that the people's support could be used, so he sent an extra envoy to Fushi during the war, and also invited Han Xian to lobby, and promised Helian Fanmo that he would be crowned king after the war. It worked wonders.
Chen Chong saw Liu Xuan in the crowd again and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" Liu Xuan lowered his head and said nothing. He had read Chen Chong's confession and knew that he could not stop his brother. Chen Chong was very disappointed and almost had a sword fight with him. This left him speechless, as if he was in Imperial College again and didn't know how to get back to the examination school where he was offering sacrifices to wine. , I could only look at my legs and feet in embarrassment.
Chen Chong felt his troubled mood, let out a long sigh, patted his shoulder and said warmly: "You must have been unhappy here, so let's get over it. Let's start over again after a while." Then he smiled at Liu Bei and said: " Xuande, you must treat Shize well. Shize is familiar with "Mao Shi" and "Zuo Zhuan", and he is considered a disciple of Sun Shuran. Now he is your Qi clan!"
Liu Xuan was deeply moved when he saw that Chen Chong and Liu Bei treated him without any interruption during their conversation. He was even more happy and relieved to hear that his eldest sister had married Liu Bei, but when he thought of his eldest brother Yu Fuluo, he felt uneasy. No matter what, the eldest brother may not treat others well, but he has never treated him badly. He was brought up by his eldest brother since he was a child, and he and Liu Bao were brothers. Even though he knew that his eldest brother was cruel and cruel, he would privately join other princes in criticizing political affairs, but he never thought of breaking with him. He also knew that he would treat him no differently than Liu Bao, so when he thought about the death of his second brother, even though his heart was pierced by a knife, he had no hatred for Fulo.
Therefore, he mustered up his courage and asked Liu Bei: "I wonder what Liu Shijun plans to do with Shan Yu?" Liu Bei had already discussed with Chen Chong thoroughly, and now he told Liu Xuan: "After this battle, the Xiongnu will only have kings." , there is no Shanyu anymore." Liu Xuan was stunned.
After reorganizing for a day, the Han army finally continued westward. The footsteps of the Han army shook the earth, their banners covered the sky, their march was aroused by the roar of the wind, and they were all proud horses capable of conquering and fighting. Liu Bei looked back at the endless swords and swords in front of him and behind him. Flags of various colors stood among them. Different patterns, different colors, and different words. These different flags came together, like an unstoppable torrent rushing forward. It seems like an endless colorful screen has been erected at the foot of the mountain.
After the defeat of Sangqian, Liu Bei often felt that he was incompetent. Now this worry has disappeared. He couldn't help but sigh to Chen Chong: "When we came out of Jinyang, our troops were only nine thousand, but now our troops are out of Meiji, filling the valley with soldiers, and our troops are shining all over the country." , wherever I went, I surrendered, and today I have learned the power of people’s support.”
Chen Chong pointed to the righteous flag above his head and said to Liu Bei: "People's support depends on us raising the righteous flag and conducting a righteous war. A righteous war is not only in the name of righteousness, but also in practice. Xuande, you must not relax." , let alone be complacent." Liu Bei took out the Zhongxing Sword from his waist and said sternly to him: "What Ting Jian said is exactly what I want in my heart."
He then changed his formation on the road, with the Han army as the vanguard, all holding high the white flag of righteousness, and joining the other armies along the way. Liu Bei placed Tiefu in the center, and his men guarded the left and right wings, with the Baibo army in the rear. He also sent envoys to inform many generals in the army: If any soldiers committed crimes and insulted the people, they should be handed over to the Zhonglang who protects the Huns.
The Han army was so vigorous that Yufuluo, who was in Shuofang, would not be unaware of it. Because Xin Shanyu was well-informed, he had been unable to sleep in the past few days. Every now and then, emissaries would come into his tent to inform him of unacceptable battle reports. Humphrey felt that he was tossing in a wild ocean. The ship could not withstand the wind and waves, and several holes were opened from time to time. Depressing bitter water gushed out from the spring in the ship's side, making him sink slowly in his mind, but he could not die. Only the pain of choking on water stirred his weakened consciousness.
As days passed, he looked older and older.
At first, the siege of the city was unfavorable. Humphrey ordered his army to surround it on all sides. He could see clearly from below the city that the people guarding the city were only old, weak, orphans and widows. There were not necessarily 3,000 strong men, but the large number of households answered the valley several times. The ants who led the army were all beaten back by these people with rolling logs and falling rocks.
Shanyu was furious about this. He had seen the army's offensive. The defenders didn't even have enough arrows. They often fired for a while and then stopped. He also found enough wood branches. Not many of the soldiers were killed by bows and arrows. They were mainly injured by falls and bruises when attacking. The guards observed the injuries in the wounded camp and reported to him that most of the wounded in the army were bruised and bruised by swords. Not one in ten wounds. Several guards who had been supervising the battle during the day lost their heads as a result.
The fighting was fierce in the next few days, and progress was made on the city wall. On several occasions, some people were able to attack the city wall, but they were repulsed by the defenders in the city. But then it stopped there because of the difficulty of using water. As Chen Chong expected, the water source in Shuofang City could not supply the 90,000-strong army. The city only had water sources on the east and west sides. The north and south were deserts, so water was inconvenient. In addition, Shuofang City was hot during the day and cold at night. Shanyu's army officers and soldiers lived in temporary barracks. , they could only huddle together for warmth, but during the day they were so thirsty that their throats were filled with smoke, and many soldiers fell ill in just a few days.
Chanyu was helpless about this situation. He should have withdrawn his troops, but many events since the assassination made him depressed. He was eager to prove in front of the kings that he was the proud son of heaven and a knight warrior born on horseback. For this reason, he transferred Qiequ Zhiyasi and personally led an army to besiege the city, just to impress everyone. With an immortal success left in front of him, if he just retreats, what courage will he have to face the Xianbei people in Dingxiang?
Therefore, he made up his mind, finally took out the gold and silver, and went to the army to reward the soldiers who had climbed the wall. The soldiers managed to cheer up and broke through the outer city of the big city in one fell swoop. The outer city was destroyed, but there was still a large walled city in the city to defend, but Yuvluo finally felt high-spirited for a moment, but before he could rejoice, several envoys from the Han army came to the camp and informed him of the decision to protect the Xiongnu Zhonglang General. .
He had never met the general who protected the Huns, nor had he had a serious conversation. He also suspected that he was involved in Huchuquan's assassination, but there was no evidence. After Huchuquan's death, several of his children escaped and disappeared. , so that his guess can only be reduced to a guess. But now, the general who was protecting the Huns had pronounced his death sentence through an essay.
Yuvluo immediately ordered his left and right officials to take the envoy who was delivering the order and kill him, and then dismissed everyone including Liu Bao. He was alone in the king's tent thinking about the gains and losses of the past year, and the image of the former Governor of Xihe admonishing him kept reappearing in his mind. When he raised the curtain from the tent again, everyone was surprised by his fatigue, and privately they kept arguing because of this: This battle can no longer be fought.
