Vol 2 Chapter 402: Sinister literati

Shou Chun, Shi Shifu.
Xu Yuanxi sat alone in the hall with the robe and armor, and was almost empty except for a few guards with swords, and dozens of literary officials ran around in the outside courtyard, but inserted into the back The herald sergeants kept rushing in from outside the gate, kneeling on one knee after going to the temple, and reporting the latest fighting situation.
"Liu Zongzhu sent strong men to dig underground surprise attacks, killing hundreds of enemy troops and scolding soldiers!"
"The enemy's flying stone siege was completely resolved by our army's veil."
"The enemy archers cover and reload the infantry and begin to attack the city."
"The enemy troops have set up a lot of cloud ladders, advancing in all directions, and have already stood on the head of the city!"
"The leader Liu Zong is fighting hard, and the city head of Beicheng is in a bitter fight."
"The enemy's Chinese army reloaded the infantry and wanted to win Shouchun in one fell swoop!"
"Our army's trebuchet counterattacked massively, and the boulder hit the heavy troops under the enemy's city. The enemy has been completely defeated!"
With these defeats, Xu Yuanxi ’s expression became anxious and sometimes ecstatic. Until the news of the final victory came, he laughed and grew up from the bed after the handsome case, rubbing his hands while Pacing back and forth: "Oh, great, Liu Yu really has two sons, no wonder Xie Zhenjun values ​​him so much."
A 40-year-old scribe with white-faced whiskers and thief eyes, but a tight-fitting leather armor, is the long history in this Shouchun city, and also Xu Yuanxi's staff, named Hu Wenshou. : "General, Liu Yu is so good at defending the city, but it's not a good thing."
Xu Yuanxi's face changed, and he turned his head, facing this Hu Wenshou Qi said: "How do you say this?"
Hu Wenshou did not speak, looked at the Hongling Herald soldier who was still kneeling on the temple, and several guards around him, Xu Yuanxi was so appreciative that he waved his hand: "You all withdraw first, and you will have something to do with Hu Changshi Quotient. "
Soon, there were only two of them left in the hall, Hu Wenshou sighed: "General, this Liu Yu is just a small building owner. There are no fewer than twenty officers in his position in Shouchun City who are comparable to him. When I first arrived, I was given the responsibility of defending the city. Is this a bit inappropriate? "
Xu Yuanxi shook his head: "Lao Hu, what's the matter with you? We weren't going to discuss it at the time. The surnamed Liu was sent by Xie Xuan, and the Xie family is something we can't afford to offend. Reinforcement, I originally wanted to withdraw. This surnamed Liu wants us to stay, so it ’s up to him to keep the city. If we ca n’t keep it, we can also blame Liu Yu. . By the way, the exit from the South Gate is still there. "
Hu Wenshou nodded: "The secret road out of the city is in this Shishi Mansion. It used to be a spare granary. When former Zhenzhou Yuanshi Yuan Zhen was here, he left himself the secret road. His father was Yuan Zhen's subordinate. , So I did n’t even tell the history of the thorn, even if I knew this secret way. "
Xu Yuanxi smiled and patted Hu Wenshou's shoulder: "It's still your old Hu Tingyi, but in case Shouchun City is really lost, relying on this tunnel, even if we ran out, it is difficult to escape the crime of being trapped in the city. . "
Hu Wenshou smiled, "Hey, he said:" So let's let Liu Yu come to defend the city. Now both inside and outside the city, no matter the enemy or the enemy, we all know that Liu's surname is the general of the city, so it is his responsibility in case of a fall, and it has nothing to do with the general. At that time, we said that it was the city that broke out after the city broke, and reported to Xie Zhenjun and Huan Shi. "
Xu Yuanxi nodded: "Since this is a good discussion, why are Liu Yu holding the city this time, and you are not happy? Anyway, how can I keep the Shouchun, I also serve as a general, and I don't get much credit, it is better than losing the city Be guilty of crimes. "
Hu Wenshou sighed: "But Liu Yu is playing very well now. Not only can he defend the city, but he can also kill Qin Jun in large numbers. Look at the face of the sergeant who just sent a report. Worshiping Yu, I am afraid that even the civilians in this city will only know Liu Yu, not the general! "
Xu Yuanxi's complexion changed, and he said angrily: "How is it possible! I hold General Xu Yuanxi, but Shouchun's guard for many years, who doesn't know in the city? Now I am the general in the city, Liu Yu is just a small building owner The defensive duty of the city is still my appointment. As long as I give an order, he must obediently become a soldier now. "
Hu Wenshou hooked the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashed coldly: "General, during the Taiping period, everyone recognized the power of the imperial court, and the soldiers in your hand, but now in this isolated city, Wang Fa has no use, those Sergeants and civilians, who only recognize the heroes in their eyes, have to say that this Liu Yu, we are underestimated, I am afraid that Xie Xuan sent him here for other purposes, and it is not just as simple as guarding the marriage. "
Xu Yuanxi opened his eyes wide: "What do you mean?"
Hu Wenshou glanced around and confirmed that no one was there before, and then stepped forward, whispered: "Since this Liu Yu came to Shouchun, he jumped up and down, first he walked out of the city alone, facing Yang Qiu, and became a whole The hero in the heart of the city's military and civilians, and then involved in the matter of the Zhu family's accidental injury to Huan Jiang, released the Zhu brothers who should have been handed over to the Huan family, and released them directly from the prison to harvest their followers. Violating the general ’s intention, you should stay in the fortress. In this way, whether it is the general family like the Zhu family or ordinary people in Shouchun, they are regarded as saviors ~ EbookFREE.me ~ At that time, he volunteered to go to the most dangerous North City, the purpose of which was obvious. "
Xu Yuanxi frowned gradually: "Listening to what you said, it really is the case, what do you mean?"
Hu Wenshou gritted his teeth: "This anti-Qin fight not only fought against the enemies on the battlefield, but also competed among the various families. This place of Yuzhou, the important town of Huainan, was originally sandwiched between the two big towns of Jingyang. The buffer zone, the history of Huan Ting can be here for many years, also because he can accept both sides of this person, or that the Huan and Xie families are not ready to turn their faces, after all, the strong enemy is in the north. Foreign enemies will take advantage of it. "
Xu Yuanxi nodded: "The enemy is now under pressure, and they are even less likely to fight."
Hu Wenshou shook his head: "No, the more this time, the more the opportunity to break the balance, usually there is no reason to grab the site, take over this Shouchun City, but now can use the name of the defender to take over this place in an imperial way. You see , The army of Qin Jun is here, Liu Yu is here, and Huan Xuan is here. Is n’t this what grabs the site? "
Xu Yuanxi opened his eyes wide: "It turns out like this! Mother, this surnamed Liu really didn't feel well, no, I can't let him continue to defend the city, and won his military power!"
