There are crowds of people everywhere on Bagong Mountain, giving the impression of a vigorous and well-prepared lineup.
After the sun sank into Bagong Mountain, the sky gradually darkened and dusk disappeared.
Instead, there are dim lights in Xia Shi City, compared to the bright lights at the top of Shouyang City.
Liu Yu and Yan Fei were hiding in a dense forest, looking at the heavily guarded Shouyang City. They looked at each other and each showed a wry smile.
Liu Yu was very anxious. For tomorrow's decisive battle, he must sneak into the city tonight.
Tomorrow's battle is not only related to the continuation of the Southern Jin Dynasty, but also the life and death of his Han people. Thinking of this, Liu Yu felt a huge pressure that made him almost breathless.
Compared to Liu Yu, Yan Fei felt confused and didn't know where he was...
This battle seemed to have nothing to do with him, but he seemed to be deeply involved. This situation of being both a participant and a bystander seemed like an experience in a dream.
Liu Yu suddenly asked: "Why is Brother Yan willing to help me?"
Yan Fei felt helpless. He knew that Liu Yu was still wary of him.
"Brother Liu still doesn't want to believe me?"
Liu Yu smiled bitterly and said: "If it were normal, I would trust a friend like Brother Yan with my life. But at this moment, Liu Yu is not just burdened with his own life."
Yan Fei sighed softly: "What if I tell Brother Liu that my father is also a Han?"
Liu Yu glanced at Yan Fei in surprise and nodded apologetically. He already knew that Yan Fei didn't want to mention his past. Now that he said this, Liu Yu finally felt relieved.
Yan Fei said: "When you go to see that young master, what answer will he give you?"
Liu Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I was stopped before I saw anyone else."
Yan Fei said: "Yan Yun's Eighteen Riders?"
Liu Yu nodded and said: "They only told me: 'Your Majesty is resting, please don't disturb me.' No matter how I said I had something to ask for, they would not let me take a step forward, nor would they inform me."
Yan Fei was stunned!
Liu Yu looked at the groups of Qin troops deployed from Shouyang City, and suddenly thought of a way.
"How about we dress up as soldiers and sneak in? Brother Yan was born in the Xianbei tribe, so he naturally understands the Xianbei language, and Liu also has some knowledge of the Xiongnu and Di languages."
Yan Fei's eyes lit up and he nodded: "This is a good idea."
After saying that, the two people immediately rushed out of the dense forest and slowly approached a returning team in the distance.
…
Fu Jian stood at the top of Shouyang City, his clenched fists trembling slightly, showing his mood at the moment.
The clan brother Fu Rong was defeated, and only one day later, news came that his son Fu Pi had died in battle. He looked down at the corpse that was brought back... The body was divided into two sections, and Fu Pi's face was still stiff. Horrified expression.
Fu Jian's heart was filled with grief, and his eyes were cracked and he was gnashing his teeth.
Feeling the anger of the King of Qin, all the generals accompanying him, including Murong Yong, Murong Chui, Yao Chang, Zhu Xu, etc., were all as silent as cicadas, not daring to speak out!
Yao Chang hesitated again and again and said: "Your Majesty, the spies have come to report that the Beifu Army on Bagong Mountain is waiting in full formation. They are likely to rush down from Bagong Mountain and set up formation on the beach."
Fu Jian still looked at the corpse and said solemnly: "What about the other side of the Feishui River?"
Yao Chang said: "Across Kishihara!"
Fu Jian said angrily: "What a good boy Xie Xuan, he wants to cross the river and fight with me!"
Yao Chang said: "I'm afraid he wants to join forces with the eighteen cavalry to fight against our army."
Fu Jian hissed: "He understands that I will come to the battlefield in person tomorrow to avenge my son."
Yao Chang opened his mouth, wondering whether he should dissuade him, but Lu Guang echoed: "Xie Xuan arrived just in time. Tomorrow my army will take advantage of the opportunity to defeat his Beifu son, and the world will be decided in one battle."
Fu Jian took a long breath and said, "Shi Ming is right. Tomorrow I swear that I will cut those eighteen people into thousands of pieces, crush their bones and scatter them into ashes, and then crush the children of Beifu together."
After saying this, Fu Jian took another sad look at the corpse, then turned to face the ministers and began to issue orders.
The generals were ordered to retreat one by one, and Zhu Xu was ordered by Fu Jian to garrison Shouyang. He was originally a judge in the Southern Jin Dynasty, but he was not yet trusted by Fu Jian, so Fu Jian would never give him a chance to defect on the battlefield.
The reason why he was assured of garrisoning in Shouyang was because neither Fu Jian nor his other generals believed that their side would be defeated, and Zhu Xu was not the only one stationed in Shouyang.
Fu Jian had given the order, and the generals retreated to repair.
Zhu Xu left in a hurry and returned to Xiyuan where he settled.
At this moment, he was exhausted, but his mind was in chaos and his mind was in a trance.
Now he has embarked on a path of no return, betraying his ancestors and his country. In fact, he is convinced that the Southern Jin Dynasty is far from Fu Jian's opponent against the Qin Dynasty.
The so-called prosperity of the Southern Jin Dynasty and the popularity of famous people were actually built on the flesh and blood of ordinary people from poor families. Today's huge Southern Jin Dynasty, without the support of Uncle and Nephew Xie An, I am afraid that it would have been completely destroyed long ago.
But even so, he didn't want to bear this 'eternal infamy', and he was just trying to save his own life by 'treason against his ancestors and his country'.
If you can live, who wants to die?
Dragging his tired body, he walked into his own room, and the window door suddenly opened with a creak.
Zhu Xu was alert and pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
A voice whispered outside the window: "General Zhu, please don't make any noise. I am the person sent by Commander Xuan. I have a secret letter to deliver."
When Zhu Xu was stunned, two figures had entered the wing first.
Both of them were wearing Di Qin military uniforms. As soon as they entered the room, one of them looked at him eagerly, while the other knelt in front of him and presented the secret letter with his hands raised above his head.
Zhu Xu knew that if he dared to shout loudly at this time, the man standing would definitely take his life. After a slight hesitation, he finally took the secret letter and said in slight shock: "Who are you? Look up!"
Liu Yu raised his head as he was told and said with a smile: "My lord, I have met Liu Yu twice, do you still recognize me?"
Zhu Xu looked carefully by the candlelight and nodded: "I still remember you. Your appearance is very special, so I have some impressions. Why are you two here? Do you want to kill me?"
Liu Yu said respectfully: "Your Excellency, I have misunderstood. Please check the secret letter first!"
Zhu Xu was silent for a moment, then pulled out the lacquer-sealed cork of the bamboo tube that contained the secret letter, and took out the letter. Liu Yu had already stood up and moved the candlestick.
Zhu Xu sat down slowly and read the note carefully.
Liu Yu and Yan Fei did not interrupt. They stood aside and looked at him intently...
Looking at the letter, Zhu Xu had a complex look on his face that was difficult to conceal, as if he was ashamed and a little hesitant. In the end, he was shocked, and the hesitation on his face disappeared, and he turned to an expression of surprise.
Liu Yu knew that since Zhu Xu surrendered to Beihu, all the ministers in the court had proposed to barbarize the nine tribes of the Zhu family. However, the Zhu family did not suffer the disaster of the nine tribes of the Yi tribe because of Duke An's request for marriage.
I think Zhu Xu learned about this in the letter.
Zhu Xu indeed knew that the family was fine. He stood up, folded the letter into a roll, and lit it on the candle flame.
After witnessing everything, Liu Yu finally let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help showing joy.
Zhu Xu looked up at the beams of the house and said in a deep voice: "Please go back and tell Marshal Xuan that Zhu Xu has no repayment for the great kindness that Mr. An has done to our Zhu family. Zhu will act according to his plan, and tomorrow he will definitely serve Xuan." Shuai captures Shouyang and eliminates Fu Jian's last chance of survival."
