Zhang Yun recognized that the man in the golden helmet and armor was Yuan Shu. Then look in the direction of Yuan Shu's fingers. It was a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy.
The boy hid behind the battlements. Only a thin face was revealed. Although it is not very real. But it can be faintly felt. He was somewhat haggard and horrified.
Zhang Xi is strange. I have heard Yuan Shu say again loudly: "This little doll is Liu Bang, the Juchaohou. You tell Liu Xin. If he doesn't retreat, I will throw this little doll off the city. I will throw it into meatloaf."
The boy listened to Yuan Shu's words. Frightened to his face. Weeping loudly: "Father, mother. Come and save me..."
Zhang Ren, standing beside Zhang Yun, saw this. Haha laughed and said: "Yuan Shu. Are you okay. I want to take a little baby and want to hold my head father. There are too many Han clan relatives in the world. Let alone a small living in the Chaohou. Even if it is usurping the throne and proclaiming the emperor. Liu Xie, Liu Biao. My father-in-law will have to clean up them sooner or later. Yuan Shu. If you get to know you, you can quickly go out of the city and surrender. My father-in-law is happy. Maybe you can leave a whole body."
These words are very clear. You want to usurp the throne. The capital crime is inevitable. Yuan Shu also laughed out loud. Said: "Don't make noise here yet. Go back and ask your master carefully. You know that this Juchaohou is not an ordinary Han family clan. Humph. In case it annoys me. In the end, this little baby was killed. I'm afraid your master will not be able to explain it."
Zhang Ren bowed his hand towards Zhang Yun. Said: "General. Don't talk nonsense with this. Order the siege."
Because I took a day off in Linhu County. The siege equipment that followed the rear army had already been brought up. Now dozens of trebuchets, carts, and ladders are neatly lined up behind the battlefield. Just waiting for Zhang Yun's order.
Zhang Yun also slowly raised his hand. Waiting for the order to siege the city. Suddenly remembered something. He waved back vigorously. Shen Sheng said: "Retreat."
Although Zhang Ren is still somewhat inexplicable. But Zhang Xi already knew who this young man was. He was an old man who followed Liu Xin when he was in Hejian. How come you haven't heard of Liu Xin's story. Isn't this Liu Bang the eldest son of Liu Xin adopted to Juchaohou Liu Zhong? If you blindly order the siege because of yourself. As a result, Yuan Shu became angry from embarrassment. Really threw Liu Bang down the city. Then his guilt can be serious.
The big house in Pingyu Dongcheng. Zhang Ning and Pound stood in the small attic and looked down. Outside the house after a quiet night. There was noise again. Liu Pizheng instructed the people under him to pile bundles of firewood around the courtyard wall of the inner courtyard.
Pound's heart tightened. He folded his hands and said: "Mrs. Qiqi. It seems that they have failed to attack for days. This is an attempt to set fire. The final petition. The brothers rushed to kill once. Even if they die, they will die vigorously."
Zhang Ning frowned and looked at the guard next to him. Two days of fighting came down. They have already suffered more than half of their casualties. And everyone’s face is full of fatigue. Fortunately, these guards all carry dry food such as fried noodles. So although besieged here. Can't get supplies. But there is no need to worry about being hungry for the time being.
It's just that the amount of fried noodles is limited after all. Zhang Ning doesn't know how long he needs to stay here. These fried noodles seem to be precious. Naturally reluctant to score points to those servant servants. Thus. But suffering those servants. Not having enough food does not count. They are also forced to move stones and furniture. Repair the courtyard wall that was breached by the yellow scarf outside. Zhang Ning once let these maids and servants leave once. But they were shot down by the people outside as soon as they left the courtyard. Had to shrink back again.
After listening to Pound. Looking at the busy people outside. Then think of these innocent servants who are trapped in this right and wrong. Zhang Ning also hesitated. Pound is about to organize the guards who can continue to fight. Suddenly seeing the actions of those outsiders was a little weird. Could not help but pointed to that side. Said: "General Pang. Look at what they are going to do."
Pound has seen it too. Those who are throwing a load of water on the firewood piled outside the courtyard wall. Can't help being taken aback. Said: "Madam Kai. They are trying to force us out of this yard with heavy smoke."
"Dense smoke." Zhang Ning still doesn't quite understand how smoky is.
Pound said solemnly: "Madam does not know. We are in the downwind here. The smoke is together. It is choking. It often makes people unable to open their eyes. What is more serious is that if you don't escape quickly. Go. There is a danger of unconsciousness."
Zhang Ning understood Liu Pi's intention. He could not help but said in a deep voice, "It seems that we can't rush out. General Pang has any way to deal with the smoke."
He took the initiative to rush out and was forced out by the enemy. They are two completely different concepts. Since Liu Pi's intention was to force them out of the yard. They will definitely set up an ambush outside the yard. Such an ambush is not only for archers. It is even possible to dig some sinkholes and the like.
Pound is not a mere martial artist either. I heard Zhang Ning say this. He also quickly figured out this truth. And there was cold light on the surrounding roofs. You can clearly see some archers lying there. Pound tilted his head and thought for a while. Said: "Unless the cloth is soaked and covered on the face."
"Soak the cloth." Zhang Ning's brows wrinkled tighter. Said. "But what we lack most now is water."
Pound hesitated and said, "There is another way. That is. Use urine instead."
The utility of urine is better than water. He doesn't care about this big man. But Zhang Ning is a woman. And it is the noble general's wife. It is indeed a bit embarrassing for her to do this. Pound was also a little hard to tell. It's just that the situation is critical now. He had no choice but to speak out.
Zhang Ning couldn't help but smile wryly. Unexpectedly, I actually fell to this point. If you put a layer of "diaper" on your face. Would she be embarrassed to talk to her beloved husband again in the future? Zhang Ning shook his head. Said: "General Pang. Go and prepare first. I'll write a letter to my husband."
Pound was surprised: "The lady can't deliver the letter even after she writes it."
Zhang Ning sighed and said, "General Pang. Have you forgotten the two pigeons that my husband gave me before he left?"
Pound slapped his thigh and said, "Oh. Why didn't I remember. If you send the letter out earlier, maybe the reinforcements will be there."
Zhang Ning said with an apologetic expression: "It was the concubine who killed the general and your brothers. The matter of the pigeons. The concubine had thought of it a long time ago. But, do you know General Pang. Master Liu split the army this time. But there was no such thing. Mobilize your husband’s personnel. This shows that Mrs. Liu attaches great importance to the land of Si Li. My husband is not to be taken lightly. This time I came to Runan. It was repeatedly requested by my concubine. It was only to repay Mrs. Liu’s kindness. Although it has not been successful now The concubine body is dead without complaint. But he dare not harm her husband again without permission. Please also General Pang and the brothers can understand the pains of the concubine body."
Pound clasped his fists. Said: "Madam is serious. Pang Mou and the brothers have no complaints. It's just that Madam is flying the pigeons now. But I don't know what it is.
Zhang Ning smiled miserably. Said: "Where can the concubine body have any purpose. That is the masterpiece of the concubine body."
suddenly. The guard behind him pointed to the outside of the courtyard wall. Said loudly: "Mrs. Xu. General Pang. Look at it."
Zhang Ning and Pound looked out of the courtyard wall together. I saw two groups of soldiers wrapped in yellow scarves fighting together. Wet firewood was scattered all over the ground. No one cares about it anymore.
original. Although Liu Pi controlled Gong Du. But he has never dared to kill him. After all, half of the Yellow Turbans in Pingyu City are loyal to Gong Du. If the news of Gong Du's death spreads. It will definitely cause civil unrest. but. Gong Du did not show up for two consecutive days. Naturally aroused the suspicion of his trusted followers. Especially Gong Wu. He has followed Gong Du since the last Yellow Turban riot. I have to report to Gong Du almost every day. These two days. But even Gong Wu couldn't see Gong Du's face. Moreover, the guards of the Royal Palace of Runan were replaced by members of Liu Pei's line. It naturally aroused Gong Wu's vigilance.
Gong Wu has been in the Yellow Turban for many years. Later, they fell into the grass with Gong Du and Liu Pi. It is also well-informed. He already felt it clearly. There must be something wrong with Gong. Although among this Yellow Turban army. Gong Du and Liu Pi each have a power. But Gong Wu relies on years of contacts. Gong Wu quickly inquired about Gong Du's whereabouts.
Gong Du is to Gong Wu. Not only his brother. And it is the guarantee of his status in the Yellow Turban Army. Without Gong Du. In the Yellow Turban Army, he is no different from ordinary Xiaoyou. Even because of Gong Du. He will live even worse. So no matter what price he pays. Gong Du must be rescued.
Gong doesn't like women. I'm not too concerned about money either. The property that was looted usually was handed over to Gong Wu for safekeeping. Thus. It gave Gong Wu a lot of convenience in rescuing Gong Du.
At this time. Life is naturally more important than money. Just when Liu Pi was thinking about how to capture Zhang Ning alive. Gong Wu was also throwing a lot of gold and silver.
Except for the group who first followed Gong Du and Liu Pi up the mountain and fell grass. The others were forced to desperate by Yuan Shu's harsh government. Only then joined the Yellow Turban Army. It doesn't matter if it is a person who has fallen into the wrong hands in the first place. Or the people who participated in the Yellow Turban later. It doesn't matter if they are from Gong Du or Liu Pi. Everyone has only one goal. . Ask for money. No one will have trouble with money.
With Gong Wu's uncompromising purchase and promise. Then I see a large number of brothers die outside the courtyard wall every day. The mentality of those loyal to Liu Pi began to change. Gong Wu took almost no effort to rescue Gong Du.
Gong Du got out of prison. I heard that Liu Pi was leading a man to attack the courtyard where Zhang Ning lived. He was so angry that he immediately organized his troops and rushed over. Started a fire merger with Liu Pi.
