Han Shimou

At this time, all the troops were exhausted and hungry. In addition to the repeated setbacks before, most of the soldiers were in a state of instability.Cai Mao then ordered the soldiers to rest, and each went to seize the house to make food.Cai Mao and the generals rested in Yamen.

After the first update, there was a sudden gust of wind.The guard sergeant flew to report the fire.The generals were shocked again, thinking it was Zhuge Liang's plan again.Cai Hao was calm, thinking that his army was powerful, Liu Bei would dare to invade rashly, so he told the generals.

"This must be the result of careless cooking by the soldiers in the city. Don't be alarmed by omissions."

It's not over yet, and several times in succession, the three gates of the west, south and north are all on fire.When Cai Mao hurriedly ordered the generals to mount their horses, the entire Xinye City was filled with flames, and the whole city was red and shining brightly.

At the west, south, and north gates, rounds of rockets flew up and landed on the surrounding houses, immediately bursting into flames.The Jingzhou people in the house ran for their lives in a hurry, and the screams one after another shook the entire Xinye City.

It is the fire of the night, like the flames of hell, burning in the world, taking away countless lives.Cai Mao was so frightened that his face turned pale and his mind fluttered. Immediately, the generals burst into flames, looking for a way to run.There are countless crowds around, and soldiers from each team are scrambling to get out first, trying to escape from this hell on earth.Cai Mao looked like he was crazy, so he ordered his soldiers and horses to open the way, and cut down anyone he saw, killing blood.Lujian heard that there was no fire at the east gate, so he rushed out of the east gate.

The soldiers trampled on each other, and countless people died.Cai Mao and other generals fought against their fellow soldiers, their bodies were covered in blood, and they were just relieved from the fire.It was just when the heart settled down a little, a sudden cry came from behind.Hua Xiong led [-] elite soldiers, rushed out and rushed to fight.Hua Xiong's Broken Dragon Saber danced imperceptibly, as if entering an uninhabited land, he rushed from left to right and flew towards Cai Mao to kill him.

"Cai Degui, take your life!!!!"

Hua Xiong stared wide-eyed, his brows straightened up, the flames made him look like a hell Shura, he was flying at the chaotic army with his horse and knife, and he was about to be killed.At this time, Cai Mao was so frightened that his soul flew away, he pulled his horse and ran away.Liu Xian and Deng Yi led troops to resist and killed Hua Xiong.Hua Xiong slashed fiercely, smashed through the crowd, and rushed to Liu Xian first.Unexpectedly by Liu Xian, Hua Xiong raised his knife and fell, Hua Xiong chopped off his head, and his body fell off the horse.Hua Xiong's eyes were terrified, and he shot Deng Yi.Deng Yi didn't dare to violate Qi's prestige, so he fled immediately.Hua Xiong pursued closely, but was blocked by the Jingzhou troops.Five hundred elite soldiers charged behind Hua Xiong and rushed to them. At this time, the people of Jingzhou were exhausted, their spirits were weakened, and they were crowded but chaotic. Hua Xiong and his tiger and wolf soldiers were the opponents, and they were killed one after another.The defeated army flees for their lives, who is willing to turn around and fight.

Cai Mao's army was short of men and horses, and most of the sergeants were exhausted, so they escaped from a slope outside the city.Suddenly, two cannons rang out in chorus, just as Chen Shi led an army to kill on the left, and Liu Feng led an army to rush to the right to hold against the slope.Jingzhou soldiers and horses saw another ambush again, as if they were facing an ambush from ten sides, they lost all fighting spirit and their morale plummeted to the bottom.Chen Shi and Liu Feng fought bravely, Jingzhou soldiers and horses were defeated like a mountain, Chen Shi was the fastest to kill, more than a dozen Jingzhou soldiers were under his sword.Liu Feng was not inferior either. He swung his spear with one arm and killed seven or eight Jingzhou soldiers.Seeing this, the surrounding Jingzhou soldiers could no longer hold back their fear, and fled in all directions regardless of their command.

Seeing this, Cai Mao quickly ordered the soldiers to turn around and leave.At this moment, Hua Xiong led the army to kill at high speed.When Cai Mao saw Hua Xiong, he immediately felt a cold air from the soles of his feet rushing to the top of his head, he felt that he was cornered, unable to fly!

At this moment, a group of soldiers around Cai Mao suddenly rushed out bravely.A general in the team hissed at Cai Mao.

"Patriarch, run away quickly!!! As long as you can save your life, Jingzhou will belong to my Cai clan!!!"

It turned out that this group of soldiers were all members of the Cai clan. These people were willing to sacrifice even if they knew they were going to die in order to repay the prosperity of the clan.Hundreds of Cai's dead soldiers rushed towards Hua Xiong.Hua Xiong swung his knife and slashed wildly, but he couldn't break through for a while.Seeing this, Cai Mao hurriedly pulled his horse and fled. With the support of a group of soldiers and horses, he was able to escape.

Cai Mao fled all the way, no matter where he fled, he was afraid that there would be an ambush army, and he went straight out of the Xinye Realm regardless of fatigue. It was difficult for the soldiers and horses to catch up, and most of them lost.When Cai Mao left Xinye Realm, he was really powerless to escape and rested at a mountain pass.

The generals briefly counted their soldiers and horses, and the mighty [-] army that Cai Mao had led in the past had less than [-] left.The rest of the tribe were either burned to death by the fire in Xinye City, or killed by Liu Jun's troops, and most of the rest were captured or lost.

At this time, there was a lot of discussion among a group of people, and a general reported to Cai Mao, saying that Zhuge Liang had reached a conclusion three days ago, saying that Cai Mao would definitely be defeated and perish this time. For the gods.

After Cai Mao heard this, his blood rushed to his heart, and he drank like hell.

"Mr Zhuge, how dare you do this!!! I won't kill you, I won't return to Jingzhou!!!"

After Cai Mao finished drinking, he spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious.The generals were shocked and hurried to rescue.After one night, Cai Mao woke up leisurely, and all the generals advised him to go back to Jingzhou before making plans.

Cai Mao's eyes were full of hatred, he gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.

"No! I have made an oath that I will kill the villager Zhuge, otherwise I will never return to Jingzhou. Right now I have [-] soldiers in Xiangyang County. After I get the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang, I will rectify them and go to Fancheng to kill them." , the head of that villager Zhuge is bound to be taken!"

When Fu Xun heard this, his brain turned and his thoughts flashed for a while, and he hurriedly cupped his hands to remonstrate.

"Wait a minute, general, and listen to Fu Mou. Now Liu Bei has abandoned Xinye and moved all the people from Xinye to Fancheng. If I join forces with Xiangyang to enter Fancheng, the people in the two counties will be ashamed. The reason Liu Bei wins every battle is because Rely on Zhuge's plan. Zhuge Kongming is a man who loves the people, so it is better to send people to surrender Liu Bei first. If Liu Bei does not surrender, Zhuge Liang will definitely leave when he sees that he abandons the people and ignores the dangers. Give Zhuge Liang a heavy duty, and separate Liu and Zhuge. If the two separate, their power will be destroyed by itself!"

Cai Hao's eyes widened, his face changed again and again, and seeing that the surrounding soldiers were still terrified, he suppressed his anger first, and followed Fu Xun's words, and asked again.

"Who can do it?"

Fu Xun recommended himself, and Cai Mao made him his envoy.Fu Xun took the order to go, riding a fast horse with several followers, and rushed to Fancheng in the starry night.The next night, when Liu Bei heard that Fu Xun came to see him, he seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and he was not surprised.In fact, Zhuge Liang had expected it a long time ago and had already informed Liu Bei.Liu Bei has also become accustomed to Zhuge Liang's magic.Immediately Liu Bei met Fu Xun, and Fu Xun finished his ceremony and opened his mouth to speak.

"Even though our army was defeated in the previous campaign by the emperor, there are still [-] soldiers in Xiangyang, and [-] guards in Jingzhou. The defeat in the previous campaign was all because we underestimated Zhuge's plot. Now our army knows that Zhuge is powerful, and sent troops again , must be cautious. Immediately our army will be able to flatten Fancheng and pity the lives of the people. The emperor is unparalleled in righteousness and love. , the army and the civilians slaughtered together, jade and stone were burned together!!!”

Fu Xun spoke every word in a clear and righteous manner, secretly looking at Liu Bei's face.However, Liu Bei seemed to have ignored it, and his face had no ripples.Before Liu Bei answered, Zhuge Liang clapped his palms and laughed.

"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good! Mr. Fu's words show that General Cai has a broad mind and is truly a man of benevolence and righteousness!"

Fu Xun frowned, he couldn't hear Zhuge Liang's admiration at all, but there was a bit of irony on the contrary.Knowing Zhuge Liang's wisdom, Fu Xun didn't want to entangle him, so he looked at Liu Bei in a blink of an eye, and asked again as a courtesy.

"I don't know what the emperor's uncle wants. Now the people of the two counties are gathered in Fancheng, and their fate depends entirely on the emperor's thoughts."

Liu Bei smiled indifferently, then cast a wink at Zhuge Liang and said.

"I, Liu Xuande, have been displaced all my life and have been framed by countless murderers. I am still able to survive today because of Kong Ming's wisdom. Kong Ming, you can make the decision for me. Surrender or not surrender is entirely up to you!"

When Fu Xun heard this, his expression changed immediately.Liu Bei trusted Zhuge Liang so much that even such a major decision was left to Zhuge Liang to make the decision.It can be seen that the relationship between the two is extraordinary, far exceeding that of ordinary monarchs and ministers.Zhuge Liang bowed his hands humbly, thanked Liu Bei first, and then said slowly to Fu Xun with a faint smile.

"Fu Caoxuan might as well come with Liang, and he will know immediately whether my Lord will surrender or not."

Seeing Zhuge Liang being so mysterious, Fu Xun's heart tightened, just as he was hesitating, Zhuge Liang had already stepped forward.Seeing this, Fu Xun hurriedly followed.Zhuge Liang brought Fu Xun to the county yamen, and suddenly held a drum hammer in his hand and slammed the trumpet drum.

Boom~!Boom~~! !Boom~~! ! !

With such a rhythm, the drums are repeated three times.After hearing the sound, many people gathered outside the county government office, looking at each other.Fu Xun was surprised again when he saw the surging crowd outside the door.Zhuge Liang concentrated his attention and shouted loudly.

"Fathers and elders! Although our army defeated General Cai's army in the past, there are still [-] soldiers in Jingzhou. If it overturns and attacks. Fancheng is difficult to fight alone, and most of them will be trampled by General Cai's army and razed to the ground. Immediately, everyone The folks and elders will be destroyed. How can my lord, Emperor Liu, watch the people suffer and their families be ruined, and remain indifferent.

Just in time, General Cai sent Fu Caozhu to surrender.There is an order!If Uncle Liu Huang descends, he will be exonerated and given a title.If you don't surrender, the army and the people will kill together, and all jade and stone will be destroyed!

Fortunately, Uncle Liu Huang trusted him, and whether he surrendered or not, he was entrusted to Yu Liang.Liang knows that the emperor's uncle is dedicated to serving the people.I will deliver it to you, and it is up to you to decide! "

As soon as Zhuge Liang finished speaking, there was an uproar all around.Fu Xun was so surprised that he was stunned. When he came back to his senses, he suddenly found countless sharp and angry eyes shot towards him. Fu Xun felt as if he had been pierced by thousands of arrows.

Immediately there was a loud roar.

"Uncle Liu is the king of benevolence and righteousness!!! I would rather die than surrender, and live and die with my uncle!!!"

"I'd rather die than surrender, and live and die with the emperor's uncle!!!"

"I'd rather die than surrender, and live and die with the emperor's uncle!!!"

I saw a young man raised his arm and shouted angrily, and soon dozens of people around him immediately echoed the sound and roared loudly.After a burst of sound, a white-haired old man blew his beard and stared and shouted.

"Uncle Liu Huang is kind to the people, he is a wise king in this world. I have never seen such a benevolent and righteous monarch in my life. Although I am old, I am willing to pay my crippled body to guard Fancheng for my uncle!"

After the old man finished speaking, the sound became louder and surged all over Fu Xun's body, making his ears ring.Another hunchbacked old woman shouted, hitting the ground with a stick.

"Please, Mr. Zhuge, don't worry about us and the people. As long as we can follow the emperor, the people like us will follow even if we go up the mountain of swords and down the sea of ​​fire!"

Immediately thereafter, there was a series of shouts and riots.

"The emperor's uncle is a righteous man in the world, and Cai Degui, who is violent and rebellious, is a villain in the world."
