On the oxcart, the "Scorpions" of the Tang Army were firing short targets at the crowd according to their own rhythm, making a dull creaking sound. The Baekje people fell one after another, swords, spears, arrows, and torches flying across the sky, and blood flowed more and more. There are many rivers, which merge into small rivers and seep into the cracks of soil and rocks.

About half a quarter of an hour later, the city gate returned to calm. Shen Fanseng pulled open only half of the breastplate, so that he could breathe easier. The city gate was under his control. He nodded with satisfaction. The successors who joined the army should be here soon. This time He must be the first to succeed. Just when he was thinking about how jealous He Bayong and Cui Hongdu would be of him, he suddenly heard a heavy drum beat from the city gate tower!

"Which bastard is beating the drum so hard that he wants to eat a military stick when his skin is itchy?" Shen Fenseng cursed. Before he could ask anyone to go up and take a look, the second drum sounded stubbornly, followed by the third one, as if it was Challenging the authority of Master Shen.

"Bastard, this is not something that can be settled with a few blows of the military stick!" Shen Fanseng angrily pulled out his sword and rushed up to the tower along the horse path. Seeing this, Hei Te Changzhi hurriedly followed, but Shen Fanseng had just boarded the tower. The figure of the tower froze, and only one person was seen struggling to stand up, with an arrow stuck in his shoulder and thigh. He was beating the big drum with a drumstick with difficulty. Blood flowed down his elbow, staining the drumstick red. , the drum surface is dotted with spots, as bright as peach blossoms.

"Who is this person?" Shen Faseng asked, his voice was low and lacked the violence of before.

"His name is Yu Zijin! He is the guard of Xiongjin City!" Hei Te Changzhi replied with a pitiful expression on his face.

"He is Yu Zijin!" Shen Faseng sighed: "Good man, why don't you be born as a member of the Tang Dynasty?"

"There are good men everywhere, how can they be distinguished from Tang Dynasty and Baiji?"

Master Shen turned around and glared at Hei Te Changzhi angrily. After a long time, he nodded: "You are right, but I was too short-sighted!"

At this time, Yu Zijin's drumming became slower and slower, and finally stopped. He slumped to the ground, still holding the drumstick tightly in his hand. Master Shen sighed: "Come here, clean up the person and bury him properly!" At this point, he paused for a moment: "And this drumstick, let's bury it with him!"

Sixian City, Dudu Mansion.

"So, Wang Canjun has already captured Xiongjin City?" Liu Renyuan put down the letter and asked in as calm a tone as possible.

"Not bad!" Master Shen lowered his head and replied. According to ancient Chinese practice, after the frontline generals win a decisive victory, they will make the meritorious soldiers work faster, hold the cloth high, and deliver the good news along the way. This is also the best reward for the soldiers, because The manager often rewards the messenger in person.

"Is this serious?" Du Shuang on the side grabbed the letterheads on the cases and looked carefully. He started to tremble just after reading a few lines: "Set up an ambush to defeat the Japanese, pretend to be a Japanese food transport team and attack Xiongjin City? This matter How come I don’t know anything?”

"In matters in the army, opportunities come first, so naturally you can't report everything!" Liu Rengui said with a smile: "Wang Shenjun has made great achievements this time. After taking down Xiongjin City, it was like a chess game and he suddenly came to life!"

"This is a very good analogy from Governor Liu. Sanlang's move is really a good move!" Liu Renyuan raised his hand and smiled. It turned out that the "eye making" Liu Rengui said was a term in Go, that is, making an air eye. In the past, the Tang army only had one city, Sixiang, in Baekje and had no room to move. Once surrounded by the enemy, they could only defend the isolated city and wait for death. However, with the addition of Ungjin City, the two cities were only one day's journey apart. Not only could they support each other, but they could also support each other. Moreover, the hinterland available for reclamation has been greatly increased, and the Tang army's sources of food have been greatly increased, and it has the ability to survive on its own. This is quite similar to the rule in Go that a single qi eye will not survive and two qi eyes will not die. .

"Now that Xiongjin has been captured, we should consider our next move first!" Liu Renyuan said with a smile.

"Captain!" Liu Rengui said with a smile: "As the officers below see, the most important thing right now is to reward the meritorious soldiers. As for the next step, it is better to wait for Wang Canjun to come back and then discuss it!"

"Not bad!" Liu Renyuan patted his thigh lightly: "If you have made such a great contribution, how can you motivate the soldiers if you don't reward them heavily? You are Shen Faseng, right? Sanlang said in the victory document that you were the first to contribute in this battle. This is Fight with less and win more. If you climb and capture the city first, you will be considered the best, and you will be awarded five levels of merit. As for Wang joining the army-" Liu Renyuan paused for a moment: "I will tell him his merits when he returns to the city!"

Zhouliu city, palaces and towers.

Acheng quickly walked through the verandah and climbed the stone stairs. Her steps were light and soft, making no sound, like a ghost. Suddenly she heard someone's voice in front of her, and she quickly slowed down, breathed evenly, and pretended to be nonchalant. She saw a group of people coming down from the corner of the stairs. The leader was Fuyu Zhongsheng in brocade robes and gold belt. Acheng quickly knelt down and lowered his head to breathe. She saw the footsteps walking in front of her and stopped. Come down.

"Are you the personal maid of Her Majesty the Queen?" Fuyu Tadakatsu asked in a questioning tone, obviously he was not sure of Acheng's identity yet.

"Yes, this servant is the maid of Her Majesty the Queen!" Acheng whispered.

"Lift your head and let me see!"

"Yes!" Acheng raised his head, met Fuyu Tadakatsu's sharp eyes, and immediately turned his head away to avoid being considered rude!

"Are you going to see Her Majesty the Queen?" Fuyu Tadakatsu asked.

"Exactly?"

"What's in your arms?" Fuyu Zhongsheng glanced at Acheng's suddenly bulging chest, and it was obvious that there was something inside.

"These are some wild fruits!" Acheng took out a cloth bag from his arms and opened it to see a dozen orange wild fruits: "After the queen gave birth to the child, she had no appetite for food. These wild fruits were what the queen liked to eat when she was a child. , sour and most appetizing. So I picked some and presented them to the queen, hoping that she would have a few more bites for dinner."

Fuyu Zhongsheng looked at the wild fruit in Acheng's hand and couldn't help but think of the scene when he was a child and playing with his friends in the mountains. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart and nodded: "Then you should send it to me as soon as possible! That's right! Well, next time if Her Majesty the Queen wants something, you can just go and tell the guard, there is no need to go by yourself!"

"This -" Acheng's face changed slightly and he whispered: "Prime Minister, the queen doesn't want to eat what others picked!"

"Don't you want to eat what others picked?" Fuyu Zhongsheng was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood. In Gui Shiyun's eyes, the entire Zhouliu City, except the maid Acheng, was an accomplice in his brother's murder. If he knew about this wild fruit, It has something to do with myself. If I am afraid of throwing it out immediately, how can I eat it?
