Chapter 470 Xu Shu went to die

two days later

After two days of street fighting in Xiangyang City, Xue Rengui has cleared all the Chu soldiers in the outer city.Now it can be confirmed that Xu Shu is being besieged in the inner city, with less than 800 troops under his control.

With less than 800 troops, trying to break out of Xiangyang City, which is controlled by a [-]-strong army, is completely nonsense.

Under the inner city, Zhang He rode his horse to his son Zhang Xiong and asked, "Xu Shu still hasn't surrendered? The water source of the inner city has also been cut off by General Xue Rengui. Is he going to die of thirst and starvation together with the people in the inner city?"

Zhang He narrowed his eyes, he admired Xu Shu very much.In the past two days, the Jin army broke Xu Shu's eight-door golden lock array, but the casualties also reached tens of thousands.

There were only [-] Chu soldiers in the city before, and their fighting power was not as good as that of the Jin elite.However, Xu Shu had achieved such a proud record by relying on street fighting, and no one in Jin would not admire him.

"Father, go and rest. It's fine if there are children watching here. Xu Shu's [-] soldiers have been without water for a day, and they can't last long." Zhang Xiong was very calm. He was responsible for leading the troops to block the north gate of the inner city. Trapped Xu Shu in it.

Zhang He nodded and shouted towards the inner city: "Xu Yuanzhi, I don't know if you are inside, but the soldiers inside are listening! Put down your weapons and surrender, our Jin army will not kill the prisoners! There are still people in the inner city, those They are all your folks and elders, do you have the heart to let them die without water?"

Zhang Yun's shout spread to the inner city. In fact, the siege started now, and the Jin army could take the entire inner city in a moment.

Without city defense equipment, and without physical and water sources, the remaining [-] Chu troops were nothing but paper tigers.

On the city tower, Xu Shu leaned against the top of the city, smiling helplessly.

Being able to delay the Jin army for two days is enough to create enough time for Zhuge Liang in Fancheng to stabilize the city defense.Coupled with the news obtained from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang must have come up with a way to resist the Jin army breaking the city.

Looking around at the hopeful gazes of the soldiers, Xu Shu sighed helplessly, and said: "You tie me up, go out and surrender! If you tie me up, the Jin army will not hurt you. They need benevolence and merit. Killing innocent people indiscriminately, in Jin It is a violation of the military law. With the temperament of His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, I will not be killed as soon as I go out, and I can save my life."

Knowing that he could no longer defend the city, Xu Shu sighed and voluntarily asked the soldiers to tie him up and take him out.

"military adviser!"

The soldiers had tears in their eyes, they understood that surrendering now is the greatest insult to the military division.These confidants will not do this, but they know they have to do it now.Once you continue to insist, it is easy for other soldiers to take the initiative to rebel, and even many people in the inner city will die of thirst and starvation.

"Go! Tell Zhang He, you surrender." Xu Shu laughed again, he let go of his arrogance, and made a contribution to the people of the inner city.

"Yes! Brothers, tie the military division looser, and don't let those Jin thieves do anything, they don't know how to measure!" With tears in their eyes, the soldiers led Xu Shu down the inner city tower, and surrendered voluntarily.

Just when Zhang He was about to leave, the city gate opened, and Zhang Xiong immediately ordered the soldiers to rush forward!

"Be careful, don't hurt Xu Shu's life!" Zhang He squinted his eyes, absolutely not allowing the soldiers to kill Xu Shu because of impulsiveness.

A living Xu Shu is more valuable than a dead Xu Shu. Regardless of whether he surrenders in the end, as long as he is sent to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it will definitely be a great achievement.

Although the soldiers under his command were very resentful towards Xu Shu, none of them dared to disobey the military order.Jin's military law is strict, and even anger must be endured.

"Hahaha! Jin's military law is really admirable. I also ask General Zhang Yun to agree to spare the people of Xiangyang City and let them continue to live in peace. I would like to use my life to comfort the Jin army who died in the city. Undead." With his hands tied, Xu Shu just nodded to Zhang Xi, but he was still unyielding.

Zhang He admired such a talent as Xu Shu. He just waved his hand and said, "Zhang Xiong, I will give you a thousand elites to escort Xu Shu to Xudu! Remember, set off immediately, and ensure Xu Shu's life. Xu Du, go directly to the military plane and explain the situation to the military plane."

Squinting his eyes, Zhang Yun directly ordered to send Xu Shu to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately.

"Baby take orders!" Zhang Xiong took orders, he knew that escorting Xu Shu was a dangerous thing.

When Pang Tong heard that Xu Shu surrendered, he hurried over, but after arriving here, Zhang Xiong had already escorted Xu Shu away.

"General Zhang He, please send troops and go straight to Fancheng! Xu Shu is the pillar of Chu, Zhuge Liang will never give up easily. Only when troops enter Fancheng can Zhuge Liang not dare to send troops to kidnap Xu Shu, so our credit will definitely not Small." Pang Tong knew Zhuge Liang very well, and thought that two days was enough for him to make Fancheng as solid as gold.

"Okay! Send troops out of the city and go straight to Fancheng! I will leave the cleaning of Xiangyang to General Xue Rengui." Zhang He got on his horse and led his troops straight to Fancheng.

In the territory of Jingzhou in the state of Chu, Suanni iron cavalry and Baima Yicong galloped freely, completely cutting off the communication between the major official channels in the state of Chu.Even the connection between Fancheng and Xiangyang was completely severed.

Zhuge Liang's side has just begun to deploy city defenses, and there is simply not enough troops to rescue Xu Shu.

Above Fancheng, Zhuge Liang moved eagerly, the feather fan in his hand was almost broken.It was also the first time for the soldiers to see Prime Minister Zhuge have such an eager side.

Zhuge Liang, who has always been calm, has now fallen into a helpless situation.

The main reason is that the fall of Xiangyang was too fast, almost to the point where Zhuge Liang couldn't believe it!Even if Kaesong surrendered, it would not be so fast.

If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hadn't fled back together, Zhuge Liang really wouldn't have believed this was true.

"Prime Minister, Jin Suanni Cavalry and Baima Yicong occupy all the official roads around Fancheng, and our soldiers cannot leave the northern part of Fancheng. If we go around the south to rescue... I am afraid it will delay the journey for ten days!" Huo Jun bit Gritting his teeth, he told Zhuge Liang the whole truth.

Although Huo Jun plotted against the White Robe Army once, he never dared to be careless towards Suan Ni Iron Cavalry and Bai Ma Yi.These two cavalry of 3000 men are enough to crush the elite of more than 5000 men in Chu State.Except for the white-eared elite soldiers, there is no legion in the Chu State that can compete with the Jin State Cavalry.

Zhuge Liang sighed, he closed his eyes, and suddenly protruded a mouthful of blood!

"Prime Minister! Come on, call the doctor!" Huo Jun was terrified when he saw Zhuge Liang vomit blood.If Zhuge Liang died in front of him, Huo Jun promised that Liu Bei would never let him go.No matter what the cause of Zhuge Liang's death is!
"No need! Stick to Fancheng, I want to accept the destiny and retreat the soldiers of Jin!" Zhuge Liang squinted his eyes. He knew that Jin's army was too strong this time, and it would be difficult to retreat with strength.

However, Zhuge Liang asked himself because of a coincidence, he and Zuo Ci had learned some alchemists' methods, and had a certain understanding of Taoism.

"Ten years of life, in exchange for a heavy rain, may be able to drown [-] soldiers of the Jin army! The ghosts of [-] soldiers, I am afraid that my life span will not only be lost by ten years!" Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes, he said nothing but Fa also has no way to retreat.

three days later

In Xudu City, Jin Wang Han Fu was in the early court, and Han Wu was even more nervous than Han Fu this time.

It is a big deal to hear that Xue Rengui broke Xiangyang City and Zhang He captured Xu Shu.Without Xu Shu in Chu State, Zhuge Liang alone is not enough to fight against 30 elite troops!

And this Xu Shu is a well-known talent in the world, and is even more famous for his loyalty and filial piety. Han Wu couldn't bear to kill this person.

Moreover, if this celebrity is killed, it may make the world's talented scholars feel intimidated.

"Bring Xu Shu, the sinner of Chu!" The eunuch shouted outside the Xuanzheng Hall, and two bloodthirsty tiger guards followed Xu Shu into the Xuanzheng Hall.

Xu Shu's clothes were neat this time, obviously neither Han Wu nor Han Fu wanted to treat him as a sinner.

"Bold Xu Shu! Seeing King Jin and His Highness the Crown Prince, why don't you kneel!" Tian Feng was the first to express his dissatisfaction when he saw Xu Shu walk up to the hall with his head up and chest out, and reprimanded Tian Feng.

"Hahaha! If I remember correctly, you are Tian Feng. I am an official of the Chu and Han Dynasties, and I am also a citizen of the Han Dynasty. Why should I bow down to the king and prince of the Jin Kingdom? What's more, the four kings of the world are rising together. Everyone knows who sent the assassins to establish this situation. So, why did I, Xu Yuanzhi, kneel down to your king and prince of Jin?" Xu Shu was neither humble nor overbearing, but he cryptically said that Han Wu sent assassins to murder the emperor of Han. matter.

Smart people can understand the meaning of the words, but even the old officials in the palace are rarely confused.

Nowadays, the people of the Jin Kingdom live and work in peace and contentment, and almost every household in the Central Plains can eat New Year's pigs. Naturally, no one will threaten to restore the big man.Even if Xu Shu made a provocation, no one opened his mouth after all.

"Hahaha! It's really interesting. The early dynasty of the Jin Kingdom was different. One-third of the veterans of the Han Dynasty didn't speak for the Han Dynasty. It's sad, alas!" Xu Shu smiled wryly. Han, but suffering because Jin was able to do better than the big Han.

Being able to convince the old Han officials is enough to show that Jin is a real big country, and the king also has the appearance of an emperor!

Han Wu didn't care about Xu Shu's flamboyant words. He just smiled slightly and said, "Xu Yuanzhi is a famous man in the world. However, you are the military advisor of Chu State. I should kill you. But if I kill you, your mother will be sad." Well, I, Han Pengju, am not disloyal or unfilial."

"But if I use you, you will definitely not surrender and would rather die. In this case, my sons Han Hu, Han Xiao and adopted son Sun Shao lack teachers who are thought to be better. I wonder if Mr. Xu Shu is willing to be the son of the crown prince. Teacher. On the one hand, you didn’t die early, and your mother won’t be hurt by it; on the other hand, you won’t be sorry to Liu Bei, killing two birds with one stone. I can’t kill you, and it’s meaningless if I just put you under house arrest. One day, I will rule the country of Jin , you can still take a look at this great river and mountain as Xu Shu. At that time, even if you go to death to follow Liu Bei, I will not stop you."

After giving Xu Shu enough face, Han Wu not only couldn't bear to kill Xu Shu, but he couldn't kill Xu Shu.

Xu Shu is a well-known counselor in the world, if he is killed, he will be ridiculed by the world as a prince of Jin who can't tolerate others.
