In front of the Wang division's formation, Di Xin looked at Bian Ji and Deng Zhizhong kneeling on the ground, and pointed at them in confusion and asked.
"My lords, I have worked tirelessly from Chaoge to lead the expedition. These two people, a guest general from Qinglong Pass and a surrender general from Beihai, actually said that they wanted to persuade me to stop in front of Jishui and wait for their General Meng for ten days. ? Ministers, as shrewd people as you, can you help me judge whether this is Su Hu's delaying strategy, or whether their General Meng is arrogant?"
The ministers were silent, and it was difficult to comment. This man from Gu City was not an ordinary person. Even as far away as Chaoge, he had long heard the "legend" that Meng Gu Nan was advancing with great success and wielding troops like a god.
If other people said that even an earl of a country said such big words, wanted to compete for merit in front of the king, and was arrogant and arrogant to win a fortune, they would definitely have to admonish him and then take the opportunity to criticize and condemn him.
It’s just that it’s hard to say when it comes to this man of God. He’s already famous before I’ve even seen him. If he’s right, it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s meritorious. If he’s wrong...,
The camp was extremely quiet at this moment. No one dared to come forward to answer, and they silently looked at the people with the highest status in the camp.
"Young boy with a yellow mouth, you are lucky enough to be better than a few mediocre people, so you don't know how high the sky is. I must have been deceived by the exaggerated praises in the past, and I want to take advantage of the king's visit to flatter you."
The person who said this was none other than General Lu Xiong of the Zuo Army, a veteran with outstanding merits. He had been marching and setting up formations for many years. Before Meng Chang appeared, he had never heard of anyone who could achieve such a record. Rumors about his military use were everywhere in the market. Like a god, he loves his soldiers like his son, but all he does is sneak attacks and deceptions by some unscrupulous people. What he said was full of weight, and it also caused many ministers and ministers to nod in agreement.
You Hun, the attendant at the side, raised his eyebrows. Seeing that no one spoke up for Meng Gunan, the king's brows furrowed. He changed his usual respectful and silent style and spoke softly.
"Your Majesty, I heard a story in the market that is very interesting. I would like to share it with Your Majesty through Meng Gunan's story."
Di Xin was a little surprised and didn't understand why You Hun stood up at this time. After all, Lu Xiong was a general, and he shouldn't come forward to pick this fight regardless of reason or reason, so he said with an interesting look: "Please tell me. , if you deliberately raise the topic and disturb the discussion between me and the ministers, I will not show any mercy."
Youhun thanked Emperor Xin, turned around and said calmly to the ministers: "It snowed heavily the year before last, and the people could not eat. I heard that there was a hunter in Lintong who had two divine dogs. One of them is called Ren, and the other is called Ren." The dog is silent but can talk to people. In normal years, when the house is full of grains and warehouses, Orion will love the benevolent dog, because the benevolent dog will often go out to promote the hero's bravery and benevolence. If it is silent, it will not be good at speaking. Kill the prey honestly."
"Under the heavy snow and famine, the hunters went into the mountains as usual, hoping to hunt wild beasts for the village. However, after searching for several days, there was no trace of the beast. Only a pregnant female wolf was seen wandering alone on the snow in the forest. . Then he led two dogs in pursuit, and rushed forward without saying a word to catch the prey for the hunter, but the benevolent dog was not happy. Speaking of the rules of benevolent hunting, it is not allowed to prey on young animals and pregnant animals, otherwise it will harm the peace of the world. "
"Under the obstruction of Ren Quan, Buyu failed to hunt prey. When he returned to Orion and mentioned the matter, Orion became furious. When he returned home in frustration, he found that his wife, children, and children were all starving to death at home, so he killed Ren Quan. Now, eat its meat and drink its soup."
"My King, do you think this Orion is right or wrong?"
Before Di Xin could reply, Lu Xiong was furious. He picked up his fist and twisted up You Hun in an attempt to beat him. He looked like he was choosing people to devour. He said with a ferocious expression: "Shuzi, how dare you argue with me and a dog?" ?”
"Hahahahaha, interesting, very interesting. When you stop Lu Gong, you just tell a joke and don't mention him by name. Why should Lu Gong argue with a small chamberlain?"
Emperor Xin smiled, letting Evil pull Lu Xiong away, and asked You Hun with a smile: "Shuzi is so bold. You defend that dirty city man like this, but you know him?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, You Hun, a merchant from Donglu, has the trust of Dr. Meng You. As a foreigner, how could he have the chance to meet a Northern Xinjiang general like Meng Gunan."
"Okay, you are so sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued, why don't you quickly apologize to Mr. Lu?"
When You Hun heard this, he immediately apologized and bowed respectfully to Lu Xiong, his attitude was sincere.
Seeing the king's sidestep, Lu Xiong didn't say a word and turned his head away from looking at this treacherous villain.
"Deng Zhizhong, ask me, what do your generals think? He is more or less a meritorious minister. If you can tell me why, I am not a willful person."
Deng Zhizhong, who was kneeling on the ground and shivering, immediately stood up. First he glanced at You Hun with lingering fear, then suspiciously followed Di Xin's eyes and glanced at the ministers in front of the tent, and then tremblingly moved Meng Chang forward. Japan’s military order was repeated.
"Shuzi is so brave, he dares to do such a cruel and unjust thing. Your Majesty, this thief is so brave. If your ministers are brave, please kill this beast!"
Di Xin followed the voice and looked at Brother Wang Ziqi who was speaking with some disdain on his face. He did not reply. Instead, he turned his head and asked You Hun.
"You Qing, the story you just told me, I have a question, why did the Orion kill Ren Dog instead of saying nothing?"
"Your Majesty, according to what the market says, this hunter's benevolent dog cannot hunt prey, so he always likes to talk about benevolence and righteousness without saying a word, but he dares to fight tigers and wolves for his master. If there is a good harvest, At that time, of course the Orion loved the Ren dog, but now the whole family is starving to death at home, the Ren dog will not hunt, and even obstructs the hunting, the Orion must kill the Ren dog to save the whole family!"
"Hahaha, this Orion is quite interesting, but he is a little short-sighted. Which one is short-sighted? Sirs, don't you think so?"
"…………"
How dare everyone answer?
"Brother Wang, do you think this Orion is short-sighted? If you were an Orion, would you kill the benevolent dogs to satisfy your hunger, or would you kill them to satisfy your hunger?"
Zi Qi lowered his head and fell silent at Di Xin's feet in fear.
Looking at the group of ministers who were silent again, Di Xin was a little bored. He nodded helplessly to You Hun, and then said to Bian Ji and Deng Zhizhong.
"Replying to your general, I will give him time. Ten days later, I will visit Jizhou City in person, hoping to see "Biyu"'s prey. I have always been a wise king who loves benevolent dogs. Ren dogs can do whatever they want, and they can do it without saying a word. Do whatever you want, whether you kill Ren Quan or say nothing, it all depends on your general's performance."
"promise!"
………………………………
The Haihe River is very fast, why does it take ten days?
Mengchang, who was stationed in the front army, received the report from Xin Ping and the Zhong brothers, and immediately ordered the army to retreat and wait at nine high slopes. Then he asked Xiong Kang to quickly send orders to the generals in Haihejiang Liutan to act according to the plan.
In Jizhou City, Su Hu was still on top of the city, mocking Meng Chang's immaturity to the Jizhou generals, joking that he probably hadn't fought a few siege battles.
Seeing that the water level of the Haihe River not far outside the city began to drop sharply, he didn't take it seriously. However, Chen Qi, who had known Meng Chang for a while, felt very uneasy. He wanted to admonish Su Hou, but he couldn't figure out what Meng Chang was. In my mind, I can only worry about myself.
The sound of rumbling water sounded from a distance, and the soldiers on top of Jizhou City looked blankly at the huge waves rushing in the distance, feeling horrified.
They didn't understand that although Jizhou City was not an inland city, the sea was to the east and far away from them. Why were there huge waves rolling into the sky from the west?
Su Hu watched in despair as the monstrous flood swept in, feeling depressed for a while, and finally felt regretful about raising troops in the past.
"Quick, move the earthworks and open the city gate!"
Looking at the major city gates that he had blocked, Su Hu felt a sense of regret that he had trapped himself in a cocoon.
When a huge wave comes, even if the strong city wall can withstand the flood and invade the city, the city is like an iron bucket. The city gate is blocked, and they all have to be blocked in this Zeguo.
In a hurry, how could they remove the blockage at the city gate? The people in Jizhou City could only watch helplessly as the natural disaster-like flood hit the city wall, stirring up thousands of waves, and then poured back into the city like a torrential downpour. middle.
Seeing the tragedy in the world and listening to the wailing, Mengchang closed his eyes and felt a little lonely.
"Go call Gu Feng and Wang Heng, break down a section of the city wall, and use the giant cloth sewed a few days ago to save people."
"Send my military order again, and the army will get on the boat, follow the giant, and follow me into the city to save people."
"If they are common people, place them in the rear army; if they are soldiers, hand them over to Wu Cheng and put them in a prison camp."
Flags were hoisted on the nine high slopes and horns were blown. After the floods returned to a slow flow, thousands of small boats launched into the water and sailed toward Jizhou City.
In today's Jizhou City, there is no one who can stop the resistance. Under the Zeguo, it is difficult for those who can swim to survive, let alone the countless people who cannot swim.
Countless Jizhou sergeants took off their heavy armor, threw away their spears and crossbows, and struggled to grab any objects they could grab, seeking a way out. When they saw the Chongcheng army paddling out to salvage the boats, they couldn't help but wonder. He will take into account the identity of the enemy and himself and strive to swim upstream of the boat.
How could it be possible to save all the hundreds of thousands of people? They could only save as many as they could. At least in this way, Meng Chang could feel that the sin of murder on his body could be washed away.
If it is said that they saved the most people, it was the two giants. Their tall figures stood in the water, and together they picked up the giant cloth in their hands. Once the "net" was pulled down, dozens or hundreds of people were rescued and then sent to the high slope behind them. It will be screened and managed by Wu Cheng.
"Suhou, are you okay?"
Su Hu stood blankly at the top of the city. Hearing the familiar voice behind him, he turned around and saw that it was Meng Chang who had been chasing him for hundreds of miles outside Chong City in the past.
"General Meng, what a good method! But with such killings, isn't General Meng afraid of divine punishment?"
"Fortunately, I am a soldier in Chongcheng and have conquered Beihai three times. Countless alien beasts and enemies have died under my hands, and the human race persecuted by alien beasts and Yuan Futong has been several times more than mine. They I haven’t been punished by God, so what should I be afraid of? If there really is a punishment from God, Meng will feel at ease, and it would be a good thing to die with so many traitors."
Su Hu, who seemed to know that he could not escape this disaster, shouted back the soldiers who were closely guarding him, walked forward slowly, and slowly pulled out the sword from his waist.
"Su Hu has no regrets when he loses to a ruthless man like the general. It is better than being defeated by other mediocre people and not even getting a reputation after his death. At least it can be used as a qualification for General Meng's promotion. Su Hu Protect death in its proper place.”
After saying that, Su Hu put the sword in his hand across his neck, looked back at the Jizhou City that was submerged by the flood, and asked sadly.
"A few days ago, a young general came to my city gate and knelt down and cried. Su Hu thought he was a madman and drove him away with arrows. I wonder if the young general is okay?"
"Everything is fine. His name is Zou Wu. Due to the incident in Jizhou, he resigned from his post and left the army a few days ago."
"It doesn't matter if you leave or not. The army has no eyesight. If Su Hu hadn't gone his own way and had greed in his heart, he wouldn't have caused the people of Jizhou to suffer this disaster with me. Su Hu regretted that he didn't listen to General Zou's advice. , I hope he will stay away from the battlefield and there will be no disasters caused by weapons in the future."
After saying that, Su Hu drew his sword and killed himself. Just when the blade barely scratched the skin on his neck, a strong right hand grabbed his arm and looked at him with a mocking expression.
"Do you think you can repay the sins you committed with just one death? Do you still want to die gloriously on the battlefield? You think too much. Just follow me to see the king. The king will give you the best result for your sins. .”
When Su Hu heard this, he suppressed his blush and tried to resist the huge force in Meng Chang's hand and died. However, he never thought that Meng Chang slapped him in the face and knocked him unconscious.
Looking at the many bewildered soldiers and soldiers, Meng Chang handed Su Hu to the soldiers behind him to take care of him, and asked lightly.
"Have you ever met Su Hu's daughter, Su Daji?"
"Tell me, where is Su Daji?"
