The next day, when the first ray of sunlight hit Shanzhou City, Xiruo Zanzhuo had already gotten up. He didn't sleep well last night. How to deal with the enemy has always been a headache for him. Ever since he saw the Han army After the siege troops and several of Gao Jun's generals, his original idea of defending the city seemed to be shaken. The Han army did not seem to be as vulnerable as a few months ago. On the contrary, they We are indeed prepared. From Gao Yun, Pang Gu, Lu Zuo, down to the soldiers and their equipment, it seems that they cannot be underestimated. Even the inside lines we installed were cut off by them. From this point of view, behind all this, It must be inseparable from the man named Lu Zuo. Lu Zuo is said to be very prestigious in Shanzhou. If the top pick this year had not been wrongfully accused, he would have won three prizes in a row. It is precisely because of this incident that his reputation became famous in Shanzhou. Many Shanzhou people They also complained about him, and he was as famous as the young and successful Xun Mou, and said that "Xun Mou and Lu Zuo are the best in the world." Then he must not be simple. The person who came up with the idea to catch the spy behind this time should be He was right. wrong? A trace of doubt flashed between Xiruozandra's brows, so it means that the repeated attempts to attack the city yesterday must have been his idea? But why didn't he send his main force to attack the city with all his strength? Questions like this have been lingering in Xiruozandra's mind from last night to now, so much so that now it is a question of offense or defense, which has begun to make him waver.
Xiruo Zanzhuo was dressed neatly and without waiting for a meal, he mounted his horse and came to the city to observe the situation. He asked the guards if there was anything unusual. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he returned to the government office and summoned his generals to discuss how to deal with the enemy. Policy.
After the generals arrived one after another, they saw that the coach was unhappy and worried. Everyone sat with their heads lowered and did not dare to speak casually.
After being dull for a long time, Xiruozandra finally raised his head and looked at the audience and asked, "Is everyone here?"
Lieutenant General Garlei reported back: "Only General Arob has not arrived yet."
Xiruozandra frowned and asked the person behind him, "Didn't I ask you to send someone to summon the generals? Why is there still someone who hasn't arrived yet?"
The tall man standing behind the guard panicked and replied: "My subordinates have already gone to call. General Arob's guards said that he has not gotten up yet and will have to wait for a while. His subordinates said that this is an urgent order from the marshal. His guards He said he got it, let's go and report it first, he will be here soon."
Xi Ruozanzhuo held his breath and closed his eyes, as if suppressing his anger. After a moment, he opened his eyes again and said slowly: "Go, ask him to come over immediately!"
After personally escorting him away, the generals in the hall seemed to have become much calmer when they saw the commander-in-chief, so one of the generals asked: "I wonder why the marshal summoned us urgently?"
"There's no rush to talk about this now!"
Xiruozandra's words were plain and nothing unusual. The others probably wanted to wait until General Arobe arrived before discussing, so everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.
I don't know how long it took before Xiruozhenzhuo's personal entourage came back and reported: "Marshal Qi, General Aluobu is already waiting outside the hall."
Xiruozandra nodded to let him in.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the outside of the government office, and they saw a rough man with a sinewy face, wearing armor, walking quickly into the lobby, and hurriedly knelt down to say hello, "General Arobu from the left is here to see the marshal."
"Well..." Xiruozandra nodded meaningfully and asked with a smile, "General Arob, did you sleep well last night?"
Arob was startled and raised his head slightly to glance at the coach. He was a little confused and at a loss. How should he answer this question? If he said no, he would have already slept late. If he said yes, wouldn't he be scolded for being heartless? But the person who came just now said that he was invited by the coach. It seemed that the coach did not blame himself for this. When he was about to answer, he looked at the other comrades on the left and right uneasily, trying to read it from the expressions of his comrades. There was something about the coach's thoughts, but they seemed to be expressionless, and there was nothing wrong with them. So Arob smiled cautiously and said, "Thanks to Marshal Hong Fu, it's not bad!"
Xiruozandhuo suddenly let out a "hum", widened his eyes, and said angrily: "Then just keep sleeping. The enemy is in front of us, and Dian Mao is late. Who is coming? Pull him out and chop him."
Everyone in the hall was shocked, as if the marshal suddenly changed into a different person. Arobu knelt on the ground and begged again and again, "Marshal, this subordinate has never made any mistakes. Considering this is his first offense, please forgive me, Marshal!"
Several other generals also stood up and begged for mercy, "General Arob has outstanding military achievements. Since this is his first offense, I ask the marshal to spare him once."
Xiruozandra stood up, walked down to the hall, and then pulled out the sword from his waist, "It seems that other generals also want to commit this crime for the first time and then ask me to forgive them?"
Having said that, everyone present took a step back and did not dare to speak anymore. They understood the Marshal's character. Once he said no, if he continued to force himself, Chi Yu might be in trouble.
Aluob's face suddenly darkened. He took another look at the gleaming sword in the marshal's hand, and his brows felt cold to the bottom of his heart. He had no choice but to cry bitterly, kneel at the marshal's feet, and beg: "You know, I know Wrong... I know I'm wrong, please spare my life, Marshal! You know I have a wife and children of forty or fifty at home. If they don't have me... what should... "
"You don't have to worry about this!"
Xiruozandhuo stabbed with his sword, raised the sword in his hand, and dropped it, hitting Arob's heart. Seeing Arob rolling his eyes and losing breath, Xiruozandra gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, your wife and daughter will be treated as if they are handsome." Treat him with the courtesy of the family of a martyr." After saying this, he drew his sword.
The generals frowned and looked at Arob lying in a pool of blood. They were all panicked. They lowered their heads and did not dare to sit down. They all stood motionless. After Xiruozandra took a long breath, he ordered: "Here, take the body out, seal it with a good coffin lid, and send it back to Kyoto."
After all the corpses and blood stains in the hall were dealt with, the tense atmosphere in the hall seemed to ease a lot, and some people dared to take the opportunity to raise their heads and observe the coach. Xiruozandra held the sword, took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped the blood-stained blade, and then said unhurriedly: "Everyone, please sit down!"
The others looked at each other, Garlei was at the front, and he knew the marshal best. Everyone saw him sitting down, and they also sat back in their seats.
After Xiruozandra wiped the sword, he put the sword in his hand back into the scabbard on his waist, and then said sternly: "Remember what I said, in an emergency, no one's kindness is of any use, and if you do it again in the future, If something like this happens, I will have my sword at your service!"
