Xun Yu stood on the tower with a serious expression.
In his sight, the army outside the city quickly formed a formation, and the black army was suffocating.
Tian Chou led 30,000 to 40,000 elite troops to attack, which was a great threat to Xun Yu. However, Xun Yu didn't have any panic. No matter what situation he was in, Xun Yu always looked like he was facing the collapse of Mount Tai but his expression remained unchanged.
It seemed like nothing could overwhelm him.
Xun Yu put his hands on the city wall and stared outside with all his attention. After a while, Tian Chou Ce came over and shouted loudly: "In Xia Tian Chou, the governor of Youzhou of Wu State has come to pay a visit to Shangshu Xun."
Xun Yu said calmly: "It turns out that it was Tian Shijun who was in front of you. Tian Shijun raised troops to invade the country, which really shouldn't have happened. Especially, this is the imperial capital of the Han Dynasty. In the past, you were a subordinate of Liu Yu, the Mu of Youzhou. , excellent ability and unwavering loyalty.”
"Gongsun Zan was unruly and arrogant, and he was good at killing Liu Yu. You did not give in because of Gongsun Zan's threats and remained loyal to the Han Dynasty."
"Now, he is willing to help the tiger."
"I have always believed that a person's nature cannot change. The only possibility is that the person you follow is different and has been affected. When you followed Liu Yu, you were influenced by Liu Yu and were loyal. You followed Lu Xuan , because Lu Xuan is lawless and despises the emperor, and you are also so arrogant."
Xun Yu said: "That's why you are so bold and lead people to attack the imperial capital."
Tian Chou couldn't help laughing.
He is worthy of being Xun Yu, worthy of being a minister of the imperial court. He talks in one way, which is a bit overwhelming.
Unfortunately, this is all just hanging on.
Tian Chou looked tough and said loudly: "Xun Shangshu, it is normal to change dynasties when you become a king or lose a bandit. You talk about righteousness, but righteousness is vulnerable in the face of strength."
"What's more, didn't the Liu family's world also come from Qin?"
"You said that the Liu family was in compliance with the world and wanted to punish the violent Qin Dynasty. So isn't the current King of Wu also in compliance with the world?"
"The Han Dynasty governed the world, but the people had no life, the roads were frozen to death, and there were no people inhabited for thousands of miles. Throughout the Han Dynasty, the people had no life, and the people were in hardship. Because of King Wu, countless people were saved."
"The king of Wu sent out troops to bring peace to the world. He was the army of Xingyi. He defeated the unjust with the right way. He used his upright and royal army to bring peace to the world. I dare to say that the righteous people in the world are like the king of Wu. There is no one who can compare with the king of Wu."
Tian Chou said loudly: "In my opinion, Shangshu Xun should obey nature and surrender to Kaicheng."
Xun Yu sighed in his heart.
There were too many serious diseases in the Han Dynasty.
Lu Xuan governed the south and brought many benefits to the people.
Xun Yu couldn't admit it, and said in a deep voice: "What a shameless person, what a sharp mouth, what an ugly face. He doesn't feel ashamed but feels proud of it. Tian Chou, Tian Chou, I, Xun Yu, must have misjudged the person. You said strength is King, just come and attack. I, Xun Yu, am on the tower, vowing to live and die with Luoyang."
Tian Chou said in a deep voice: "Xun Yu, it's a joke that you want to live and die with Luoyang. Your city of Luoyang is surrounded by people and has no food supplies. How can you hold on? Qin is already short of food. Send all your large amounts of food. Send it to Xingyang City on the front line, or send it to the garrison outside Ziwu Road. Do you have so much food and grass to support it?"
"Of course!"
Xun Yu answered without thinking.
Xun Yu's eyes were bright and he said loudly: "The State of Wu opened its border to do business with the State of Qin, allowing merchants from both sides to come and go, and took this opportunity to instigate the merchants in Luoyang. This time, they intended to cause rebellion, and I killed six of them and ransacked their homes. .”
"The confiscated grain amounted to millions of kilograms."
"Not to mention the food in the granaries in the city, these million kilograms of food alone are enough to sustain me for a while. Tian Chou, do you think it is useful to surround Luoyang? It is useless."
Xun Yu raised his voice and said: "The big man has God's blessing, how can you, a young man, be able to plot against you?"
Tian Chou said in a deep voice: "Xun Yu, although you are guarding Luoyang, Cao Cao on the front line of Xingyang has been cut off and has become a lone army. Cao Cao can't hold it back, and even the emperor who comes to the front line will become a prisoner. Your persistence , it doesn’t make any sense.”
"Wrong, it makes sense."
Xun Yu said again: "If I don't hold on, how can I hold on until the clouds open and the moon shines? If I don't hold on, how can I hold back your army for the king? As long as I, Xun Yu, hold on, the king will have a chance to win. This In this battle, I, Xun Yu, will persevere to the end."
Tian Chou frowned.
Xun Yu is really a smelly stone in a latrine, smelly and hard.
Totally disobedient.
From the perspective of the Han Dynasty, Xun Yu was unparalleled in his loyalty. But from the perspective of Wu State, Xun Yu was the biggest obstacle.
Xun Yu's existence hindered the progress of unification.
Tian Chou defeated the garrison in Hanoi and marched southward. Wherever he passed, he surrendered without any resistance. Now when he arrived in Luoyang and encountered Xun Yu's resistance, the key was that the city of Luoyang that Tian Chou faced was different from other cities.
The city of Luoyang is strong, and if we try to attack it by force, the losses will be huge.
Zhang Liao came up, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, it's useless for us to surrender, so we can only attack by force. If we don't attack by force, once the king arrives in Luoyang, but we don't make any progress, then we will be betraying the king's holy grace."
Tian Chou thought about whether to attack by force?
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier came from behind and reported: "Envoy, there is an urgent report from the king."
"Bring it quickly."
Tian Chou quickly ordered.
He took the battle report sent by Lu Xuan from the sentinel's hand and quickly browsed through it. When Tian Chou finished reading, he looked extremely excited and couldn't help laughing.
Xun Yu looked solemn when he heard Tian Chou's laughter.
Why is Tian Chou laughing?
However, Xun Yu didn't take the initiative to ask. Sometimes the other party would laugh for an excuse, just to attract your attention.
After Tian Chou stopped laughing, he said directly: "Shang Shu, I have just received news from Xingyang. Cao Cao, King of Qin, and Liu Xie, Emperor of Han, who were guarding Xingyang, have all surrendered to King Wu. Now, my king's army is on the way. On the way here.”
Xun Yu felt as if thunder was exploding in his mind.
The whole person was a little confused.
He didn't expect at all that it would be such a result, that the front line would collapse directly?
No matter how powerful Lu Xuan is, he will never be like this.
Xun Yu pressed his hands against the city wall and suddenly felt a complete chill, feeling like his heart was being twisted. Lu Xuan followed suit, which meant that the Han Dynasty had completely collapsed, and Lu Xuan would definitely have to change the dynasty.
Xun Yu's heart was in chaos.
However, he quickly regained his composure, looked at Tian Chou outside the city, and said loudly: "Tian Chou, do you think that the news about Xingyang can scare me, Xun Yu? You are wrong, I, Xun Yu, will not be intimidated by anyone. .”
"Even if the front line is defeated, I will still stay here to let the world see that there are still loyal ministers in the Han Dynasty, and there are still people who are still holding on."
"I, Xun Yu, will never surrender!"
Xun Yu's slightly hoarse voice echoed in the air.
Tian Chou's cheeks twitched.
An ordinary person would have been frightened and panicked, and would have lost their fighting spirit.
Unexpectedly, Xun Yu would still have to fight.
Zhang Liao said again: "Your Majesty, Xun Yu wants to fight to the death, let's help him. Xun Yu's morale is damaged, so we attack fiercely and take Luoyang in one go. I don't believe that Luoyang will not be conquered."
Tian Chou lost the patience to shout. He wanted to capture Luoyang quickly and make a great contribution. Otherwise, when the army led by Lu Xuan arrives, he will have no merit.
"attack!"
Tian Chou gave the order to attack.
Zhang Liao looked excited and immediately dispatched his army to attack.
The order was issued, and large numbers of soldiers rushed forward carrying ladder trucks, ladders, crash carts and other siege equipment. At the same time, more archers in the military formation stepped forward and shot arrows at the tower first, suppressing the power on the tower and ensuring that a large number of soldiers rushed over first.
The siege of the city was fully launched.
