The strong wind raised up the sand and dust and shook Jiangli City, which was standing alone here. In the prefect's mansion, Ren Lian knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly to the gods: "May the gods bless Lian Lian and help him defeat the enemy quickly and save the people of Jiang Li from the fire and water..."
Ren Lian has never believed in these strange powers and chaos, but this time, he has been forced to a dead end.
He respectfully took out three incense sticks, lit them with candle flames, bent his waist three times, and gently inserted them into the incense burner.
The candlelight illuminated the shrine, but the statue inside was dim, making it difficult to figure out.
"Hoo!" The roaring wind smashed open the window and invaded everything in the house wantonly. Ren Lian pressed the window in panic and went back to check the incense. Fortunately, he was not affected in any way.
"Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Someone pushed open the door, and a strong impact rushed forward, overturning the incense table and breaking the incense burner to the floor.
Ren Lian was at a loss to clean up, but in the end he realized that it was in vain and looked at everything stupidly.
General Ran Shu rushed in like the wind. Without taking a second look, he hurriedly reported: "Prefect, the army rations in the city are no longer enough for ten days, not to mention there are tens of thousands of people. Now the streets are full of hunger and chaos. ! The horses in the army eat their manes, the soldiers are unable to train, and many groups of troops fled outside the city..."
Ren Lian was speechless, just looking at everything in front of him stupidly.
Soon, another soldier rushed in in a panic: "Prefect! The people are so hungry that they gathered hundreds of people to grab food from the army."
Ren curtain was instantly sober and ordered him to clean up the chaos here. He took Ran Li on his horse and went to the military camp to check.
At this time, it was late at night, and the small crescent crescent was turbid and difficult to clear, and the wind seemed to be crying, as if roaring. Every crack in the bricks of the city wall seemed to be whimpering.
After arriving at the barracks, it was presented in front of Ren Curtain that a group of non -rated people fought crazy for military food. It would be no way to let the army stop it. Because Ren curtain has military orders, you must not kill the people.
Ren Curtain took the gong of the husband, and the Dang Dang Dang knocked in chaos, and he was extremely anxious: "Father -in -law and relatives, never!"
Seeing that they were princes, they kneeling on the ground and invited. When Ren curtain saw that they were weak, they couldn't bear it. Although everyone calmed down, their eyes were directed towards the military rations.
Ren Lian looked at the eldest old man in the crowd and stepped forward to persuade him: "You are so old, how can you not know the justice of your family and country? If food is not supplied to the army, we will be sinners in the history books!"
Who would expect the old man in tears and hugged his legs on his knees and hugged his legs: "Lord Shou, I haven't read the sage book, I don't know what the family is righteous, I only know that there are two little grandsons who are waiting to be fed in the family ... "
Such a simple sentence made Ren Lian's heart ache. Looking at the group of people who wipe tears, the sense of guilt in his heart is even stronger.
Wars, how many people have achieved the hegemony of the world, how many young history of the blue history is achieved. However, these are in exchange for the blood of the people of Li Min.
They just want to live, that's all.
For the first time, Ren Cui's world outlook felt a strong impact. He seemed to be a big stick, and he fell into a cricket, and Ran Yan quickly went up to help.
"So, that's it ..." Ren curtain's voice was like a dead body, no hope, no vitality.
It was the first time that he felt a stars, so heavy.
After listening to this, the people did not care about the eunuchs, and rushed towards military food like a group of ducks. Everyone hoped to grab more. The three men pushed the old man and moved all the one he deserved.
"Bastard!" Ran Yan pulled out the sharp sword and scolded: "Even the elderly bullies, do you still have etiquette?"
The man who led the man laughed: "Master General, our brothers are starving to death, but what are you talking about here 'etiquette and shame", don't you feel ridiculous? "
Ran Yan didn't know how to refute a while, so he had to grab the food and return it to the old man.
In this way, the army was completely confused.
On the other side, Yu Jitao learned from Zuo Wen's help that the water source that Jiang Li lived in survival was Li Shui. Now that the spring water has melted, Yu Jitao ordered people to build dams to intercept the water source. The people in Jiangli City were in chaos.
Zhang Batian often personally led a small team and shouted outside the city wall: "Why are the people of Jiangli so stubborn and holding on so hard? Do they have to wait for the dam to break and the water of the Li River to flood the city? Do they have to wait for the water to run out and the food to run out?" Yizi and Eating Flax of the Outline are often? "
Yu Jitao also ordered the spy to change to the city in the city, and entered the city to incite surrender. Just one day, the people of the generals of the city were invited to descend, and Ren curtain was dead and resolutely. The people were mourning all night, crying, and Qi Qi knelt on the Taishou Mansion to petition.
That night, the wind blew even harder...
The "Jin" flag that dyed the blood of the strong men was also torn by the wind, and I did not know.
The kite bird broke the corpse's belly and pecked the intestines. The bloody blood is scattered on the ground, and flies are gathering in it, vying to suck it. The white bones were abandoned on the side of the road like deserted grass, and only a few hungry wild dogs were baking.
The next night, almost the military -civilian regiment in the city surrounded the Taishou Mansion and cried and asked for surrender.
"What kind of farting gods!" Ren curtain emanated, swords on the statue of the fragments in the shrine, and kicked the candle. A person stood in the empty house alone, and the cold room was instantly faded.
There were a few stuffed thunders outside, shocked on his heart. Ran Yan broke in again and asked for surrender.
"It is rumored that my order will continue: Jiang Lidai stays the curtain, and is willing to take three moments tomorrow morning to lenses all the military and civilians to dedicate the city to surrender!"
Ren curtain's tone was mixed with a little desperate, helpless.
"The people who make the spiritual spirit are me, so that the people of the people to break people are me. The sin is borne by me. On the date of surrender, let it dispel me, don't hurt me alone!"
Ran Yan kneeled on the ground, sobbing and said, "This is not the sin of the eunuch, which is caused by the intention of heaven!"
The people learned the news and cheered and embraced each other excitedly.
There was another thunder, and the heavy rain poured down, and the people laughed happier: "The so -called" good rain knows "!"
When Ren curtain heard the sound outside the house, his mood was like being blown out of leaves, which was extremely disappointed. Is this Jiang Li, who he has done his best ... The desperate chill swept the whole body, and the past all appeared in his mind, as if it was yesterday.
"Boom!" The Thunder roared to break his dream, making him have to face this helpless reality.
A drop of tears soaked in blood fell slowly, hitting the statue of smiling forever. He bit his fingers and poetry poetry. Then he took Bai Yan and tightly tied it on the beam, moved the chair over, and stood up slowly. A while with the wet cool wind of the rain, drilled in and slipped over the white cricket.
Ren Lian hesitated, his teeth clashing with each other.
The white lady kept shaking, as if mocking.
"Saye !!!" Ren curtain couldn't control his emotions again, crying, "Ren Curtain is incompetent, there is the expectation of the Siye, and he is ashamed of his Majesty !!!"
In response to him, only the wind sobbing.
The chair fell to the ground, the whole body was heavy, and the ears were losing their ears. The limbs were twitching weakly a few times, and quickly returned to peace.
The wind blew long hair, and the surroundings were silent and dim. Suddenly, thunder rang through the clouds. For a moment, the desolate figure reflected in the house, swaying slowly with the wind ...
His soul, his persistence, and everything he had done for Jiang Li were all destroyed on this white silk.
The next day, Deputy General Jiang Li led all the military and civilians to surrender. Gao Yu's life distributed food to relieve military and civilians. The people welcomed the gongs and drums.
The deputy general conveyed the words left by Ren Curtain. "Don't hurt me Jiang Li's people alone" Yu Yin wrapped around his ears, and the tall fish sighed: "Ren Taishou is a life of life, worrying about the country and the people, which is admirable!"
Ran Yan was tied up by the soldiers, and the questioner learned that he didn't want to surrender until the last moment.
Yuan Hang asked: "Your Taishou has presented the city to surrender. Why should you be so obsessed?
Ran Yan's eyes are firm: "For the people, Ran Yan will not fight."
"In that case, why not surrender?"
"For the king, Ran Yan will not fall!"
Yuan Hang was shocked by his momentum and took a few steps back. Guan Lang put his hand against it and nodded in praise: "It is the ancient principle that ministers should be loyal. All men in the world are like this, how can the country's security be unstable?"
"That's the loyalty of the general, dragging it down ..." Gao Yu could not bear it. If these loyal people are used by King Zheng, how good it should be.
"Thank you, general!" Ran Shu held his head high and died generously.
The high fish led the army to the Taishou Mansion, and there was no one in the sky. Guan Lang and Yuanhang opened their way and rushed into the government. The scene in front of them shocked them.
"Master!" Yuan Hang was even more puzzled: "Surrender is the moral principle. In addition, King Zheng recruits talented people and makes them more powerful. By then, he will be successful and famous, rich in wealth, and have won a lifetime of fame. Why should he hang himself for this? Later generations laughed at loyalty? "
Guan Lang did not answer, but walked gently to the wall, squatted down, and found that it was a blood poem:
"The sand is flying in the vast desert,
Cold tears seemed to see.
Ning Call Later Laughing Everbright,
Never bend the knee to serve the Lord. "
Guan Lang motioned for him to come over and watch together. Yuan Hang chewed the meaning of the words carefully and said, "Is this his answer?"
Guan Lang still didn't answer, but ordered him to find pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and copy the poem on the wall. At the end of the poem, Guan Lang added four more sentences:
“Why should we fear death and the destruction of our country?
The faint king still has loyal ministers.
The bold man is upset,
A brief storage of iron books. "
Only then did Guan Lang look at Yuan Hang and said, "This is my answer."
Yuan Hang stared at the two poems on the paper and fell into thought. In a trance, it was like clouds flying and stars scattered, parting the sky.
Gao Yu buried the two corpses for the first time and built the ancestral hall. Relying on the prestige of the curtain, Jiang Li's heart quickly recovered the calm.
Since then, Zhang Qingmeng has obtained two-thirds of the land that merged with the state. After learning the news, Zhang Qingmeng immediately reported to the court to reward the former soldiers, which greatly boosted the morale of the army.
The next goal of the Zhengbei Army is: the soldiers are divided into two roads, regaining the west of the state all the way, and the head of the rebellious thief, Xinzhuang City.
...
