Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The roar of cannons made Youzhou City tremble, the walls of the city were full of dirt and rocks, and the collapsed houses in the city were filled with dust.

After a while, the sound of the cannons will stop, every day. As soon as the tremor stopped, people bulldozing and filling the river sparsely approached. Xiao Siwen knew it was this scene without even looking at it, because it was repeated too many times.

In addition, there is one more thing.

When Xiao Siwen heard the cannons outside the city stop, he couldn't help but look up at the sky. Sure enough, after a while, something billowing like a grass ball flew over in the air, a large ball tumbling, and the hair was in the air like a tail wing.

"Papa......" On the roof of the ruined house, **** fell on the street.

The surrounding Liao soldiers were all faceless, because they knew what it was!

Xiao Siwen took out a white handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, and looked down at a ball and a human head lying in front of the horse! A pair of lifeless eyes filled with mud and lime in the shaggy and shaggy hair, his face was smashed to blood, his face was bloody, his mouth was gone, two rows of big yellow teeth were exposed, like a horrible appearance of a skeleton .

The air was filled with a **** stench and the alkali smell of lime.

"Wow!" Not far away, a soldier holding a straw mat to pick up his head suddenly vomited.

"Useless things!" a Liao army general shouted.

Unexpectedly, the soldier suddenly ran away like crazy, shouting loudly: "There are ghosts! Youzhou City is full of the souls of dead people, we all have to die, help..."

"That guy is mad, grab it and tie it up, so as not to disturb the military's mind!" someone hurriedly shouted.

Xiao Siwen's face was ashen, silently watching everything that happened before him. Some people are scared crazy, but it is rare, but Youzhou's breath at this time is indeed very bad.

The quaint street and lane buildings, the ruins-like houses on the side of the city wall, there are no people on the street, the heads flying in the air, as if ghosts are dancing in the sunny day and day...The key is the desperation caused by a large number of heads flying into the city. !

The heads of so many young Khitan men do not need to control the rumors! Seeing is believing, everyone understands that Yeluxiu’s reinforcements are all over!

What is the mood of the defenders in the lonely city where reinforcements cannot be seen?

Xiao Siwen was a little lost, and turned around to Fan Zhongyi, a Han official, muttering: "This king has warned the Khitan nobles a long time ago... Han'er looks meek, but he is not a sheep. He is most afraid of Han'er being ruthless."

Fan Zhongyi was silent, he seemed to not know how to answer, because he was also Han'er.

Xiao Siwen said in his heart: Tiejiang Guo can put the whole nation's elite soldiers in Hebei to fight hard for Youzhou; Khitan is terrifying and frightening people, but after 30,000 people die, can he still fight hard?

The emotion of failure surged into his heart, and Xiao Siwen was extremely depressed.

In a trance, suddenly there was singing in unison from outside the city. Xiao Siwen listened to it. He understood Chinese, "Great Zhou warrior, return to my rivers and mountains. The blood does not drain, the death will not cease..."

As if a million people sang a desolate song from afar, from the sky, all pervasive, the horses under Xiao Siwen's seat moved and took a step back.

The surrounding Liao Army generals raised their heads and listened.

Xiao Siwen rode his horse to the **** behind the city wall, and the general hurriedly persuaded: "The Zhou army will fire the cannon in a while, the king takes care!"

Xiao Siwen got off his horse and climbed to the top of the city, looking very far, only to see the crowds like a sea outside the tower, the scene is extremely spectacular! The faces in the distance were vaguely facing Youzhou, as if on a pilgrimage to this ancient city that had been lost for more than 20 years. The four lines of singing sang in unison in the crowd, repeated and repeated, like a grand spell.

"Recover my river and mountains..." "Death without a truce..."

After a while, "Boom, boom..." suddenly the deafening voice sounded again, and the earth trembled. A row of white smoke rose up in the distance, and the muzzle of the cannon spurted with the flames of gunpowder burning, like the anger of thousands of troops!

Xiao Siwen was awakened by this huge battle, and remembered the character of Han'er that he saw in the book. Gou Jian is revenge, and the country can be wiped out by three thousand more. The Han Dynasty is to wipe out the Xiongnu, regardless of the cost, the war will never stop. year!

A hundred catties of cobblestone fell from the sky!哐! Bang... the bricks splashed on the wall.

The army hurriedly surrounded Xiao Simwen and shouted: "Protect the King!"

At this moment, Xiao Abu decisively shouted: "Send the king down to the city!" That Abu was a member of Xiao Simwen's clan and confidant. After hearing this, the army dragged Xiao Simwen and forcibly pulled him from the city. Go down.

Xiao Siwen got off the city wall, and gradually became sober a lot, and suddenly understood a truth in his heart: this battle can't be fought! Han'er is going to work hard, and if he fights on, he is looking for death!

At this moment, the roar of artillery rushed towards him. He was a bald Khitan man without a hat. He ran to Xiao Siwen, jumped off the horse, bent over and shrank his neck and walked to the horse, holding a note in both hands: "The news passed by the deputy envoy of the South Courtyard outside the city, the king has looked over."

Xiao Siwen picked it up and looked at it. There were Khitan characters written on it, and his face changed "唰".

The order of Shangjing, the South Yard is to defend Youzhou alone until autumn!

Xiao Siwen squeezed the note into a ball, squeezed it in his hand, and rode away.

Maybe the people who went to Beijing forgot? Guo Tiejiang also has a famous name called "Guo Pocheng". Now he is besieging the isolated city by hundreds of thousands of people, and the morale of Zhou's army is strong after he wiped out Yeluxiu... Such a situation, how many months will he defend? !

If Xiao Siwen announces this news, the generals will definitely curse the brains of the people in Beijing!

In fact, Xiao Siwen knew that the minds of the Liao Emperor and the nobles were all right... He even confirmed at once that even if he could really defend the city until the fall, there would still be no reinforcements; there would be other excuses at that time!

When he returned to the South Campus, some generals from Qidan, Jurchen, and Xi followed suit. Xiao Siwen walked around in the hall, not daring to tell them the news in a hurry.

Amidst the roar of the cannons, Xiao Siwen was in a state of restlessness and restlessness, but he was too clear-headed... He didn't dare to think about it. If he thought about the long term, the consequences would be terrible!

Based on Xiao Simwen's understanding of Daliao's dynasty, he dared to conclude that Daliao would definitely not be able to divide the victory or defeat between Youzhou and Zhou at this time, and Youzhou would definitely not be able to defend it.

What about the tens of thousands of Khitans and servant tribes in Youzhou?

What will happen to the Great Liaojing?

What will happen to him when Xiao Siwen goes back? Xiao Siwen thinks that Shangjing will shirk all the guilt of discarding Youzhou on himself and let himself be a scapegoat! For them, this is just a matter of course!

Youzhou is the glamorous land of Daliao, who can afford this responsibility? Xiao Siwen felt that he, the Great King of the South Campus, could not afford it.

Everyone looked at him, Xiao Siwen was speechless, and he couldn't help this kind of severe consequences.

"You are all separated, each urge your subordinates to guard carefully." Xiao Siwen suppressed the inner shock and said to the people present. He couldn't help but remind Abdi again, "The person who told you to stare at the East Gate! Privately! Running out is also to die, and it will harm everyone!"

Abbott bowed, "I will understand at the end."

Xiao Siwen faltered in the south courtyard until dusk, when the sound of cannons outside finally ceased. In the past, he stayed in the yamen without undressing, because the war in Youzhou was very dangerous; but tonight, he suddenly wanted to go back and see his daughter.

When the mansion went to the house, the little concubine Bai came in with Yan Yan.

When Xiao Siwen saw Yanyan, he had mixed feelings in his heart. His favorite daughter was by his side when he was most desperate, but she didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. It doesn't seem to be a good thing to stay in Shangjing or Youzhou...In this world, when the general situation is not there, there is no place to hide.

Yanyan left Bai immediately and ran over.

Bai's kneeling on the ground, bowed his head and said: "The slave maid pays respects to A Lang."

"Get up, you don't need to call yourself a slave." Xiao Siwen looked at her with complicated eyes. He had to admit that he had never felt this way towards the Han'er woman before.

Bai's concubine was a little at a loss.

Xiao Siwen regarded Han'er as his enemy, but he said that there was not much hatred in private... War is slaughter, and it is inevitable that Khitan soldiers slaughtered Zhou Min and died on the battlefield. Hero of the enemy, my enemy, but so.

On the contrary, Xiao Siwen had the heart to not despise Han'er's bravery and bloodiness.

For the first time he looked at Bai's so carefully, this woman was pleasing to the eye, and she didn't look like someone who would resist at all. Xiao Siwen felt a weird feeling in his heart for a while: How could such a woman give birth to such fierce men who are not afraid of death?

Bai is more than 30 years old, but she has a fair skin and tender flesh, otherwise Xiao Siwen's subordinates would not give her as a gift to himself. She looked very gentle, as if she reminded people of the beautiful mountain villages and the virtuous housekeepers. She had a peaceful and steady atmosphere. This feeling was very special to Xiao Siwen. He always kept the Bai family.

"To be honest, this king won't blame you now, do you hate me?" Xiao Siwen sighed.

Suddenly a kind of patience flashed on Bai’s meek face. Her white teeth bit her lip, but after a while she recovered her peace: “The concubine doesn’t hate the king, and she doesn’t know why she wants to. Hate the king."

Xiao Siwen calmly said: "We robbed you and separated you from your family."

Bai said: "The concubine has suffered this calamity, so naturally he has a grudge against the Khitan people. But the king treated me very well, if it weren't for the king, the concubine would end up worse... We are weak women, treated a little better, then I will remember him well..."

Xiao Siwen nodded, thinking that this answer was quite sincere, "You are a tolerant person, I hope all Han'er are like you."

Bai looked at Xiao Siwen puzzledly.

Yanyan held on to Xiao Simwen's arm, her face pale. Xiao Siwen stretched out his hand and touched her head, "A father, as long as he has a way, he will try to protect Yanyan."

"Father..." Yan Yan suddenly cried. Xiao Siwen didn't say anything, she had already felt the atmosphere, and she was really an aura.
