Liu Xun led the army non-stop all the way to Fancheng.
In Fancheng's prefect's mansion, bursts of laughter were heard, and the voice was very mad. It turned out that Pei Yuanshao was entertaining the little bosses, and the dishes on the table were very rich. It seems that they have collected a lot of money in Fancheng and used it for fun.
Pei Yuanshao was sitting in the main seat drinking and eating meat, toasting frequently with the little bosses, and there were dancing girls in the banquet. The dance moves of those dancers are ridiculous, and they can’t be said to be dancing. There was panic on the faces of these dancing girls.
These thieves have been hiding in caves and looting passers-by, and have never seen the bustling city. For them, the small county town of Fancheng is like a big city, and they will not let go of this opportunity to enjoy it.
On the day they occupied Fancheng, they split into several teams to looting shops and homes, and they also robbed the girls. The people in Fancheng dare not speak up, and pray in their hearts that Liu Xun's army will come soon and save them.
Those dancing girls are all good girls who were snatched from them. Pei Yuanshao took their family hostages, and they could only obey.
Pei Yuanshao squinted at these dancing girls, smiling from ear to ear. The life in the city is so good, it is not comparable to the life in the cave at all, he thinks he wants to enjoy this for a lifetime.
Suddenly, a soldier rushed over and said hurriedly: "No...it's not good, Great King. Zhou Cang's rescuers are here, and they are about to attack the city."
"Who is in the lead?"
"It seems that everyone is calling him son, I heard that the name is Liu Xun."
"What!" Hearing that Liu Xun led the army to come, Pei Yuanshao fell from his seat in fright. Pei Yuanshao had heard of Liu Xun's name for a long time. Others said that Liu Xun was a young hero, and he was not Liu Xun's opponent at all. This is terrible.
With the help of the guards, Pei Yuanshao got up in embarrassment. However, his eyes were erratic, and he didn't know what to do, and he panicked.
"How do you do this? I heard that Liu Xun is invincible. How can we beat them?"
"Yeah, yeah. Let's run away as soon as possible."
"Although Fancheng is good, we have no orders to take it away."
The little bosses were shocked when they heard that Liu Xun was leading the army, and they all demanded to flee.
Pei Yuanshao is hesitating and undecided now. If you don't run away, if you can't beat Liu Xun, you may lose your life; if you run away, you won't be reconciled.
Liu Xian is a military commander under Pei Yuanshao. He is usually scheming and has bad behavior. He often gives Pei Yuanshao wrong ideas, and he is deeply trusted by Pei Yuanshao. Seeing that Pei Yuanshao was reluctant to part with Fan Cheng, Liu Xian struggled to think about resisting Liu Xun's strategy to please Pei Yuanshao.
"Uuuuu..." The dancing girls were startled crying by the sudden tension. They were originally born in ordinary folk houses, and they have not seen much in the world. They cry normally in emergencies. These dancers caught Liu Xian's attention, frowning and thinking.
"I heard that Liu Xun has always been benevolent and righteous, and the people are the most important thing. We might as well drive the people to the top of the city. Liu Xun is afraid of killing the people by mistake, so he will certainly not dare to attack the city." It's ridiculous to hold onto Fancheng. Maybe this method can work for a while, but it won't last long.
"This plan is very good, so that Liu Xun dare not attack the city, we will definitely occupy Fancheng firmly, hahaha..." Pei Yuanshao smiled arrogantly, really thinking that Fancheng could be occupied by him for a long time.
Outside the city, the army has moved to Fancheng. Liu Xun looked at Fancheng from a distance. The city remained unchanged, but the city didn't know what it had been ruined by the culprits. Many thieves were defending on the city wall. They did not have uniform uniforms and were wearing coarse cloth, which looked very funny.
Liu Xun ordered the entire army to speak to the city, as long as he surrendered, he would never investigate his previous faults.
"Listen to the thieves in the city, General An Han said, as long as you surrender, you will definitely be freed from your life, and you will not be held accountable."
"Listen to the thieves in the city, hurry up and surrender, or after breaking the city, none of them will stay..."
The soldiers yelled to the city, but there was no movement from Fancheng.
It seems that the culprits will not surrender. Liu Xun commanded loudly: "The whole army obeys the order and siege the city!"
"General Anhan has an order, the whole army will attack the city."
"General Anhan has an order, the whole army will attack the city."
"General Anhan has an order, the whole army will attack the city."
"..."
"Swish swish, swish swish..." The archer released the arrow first, and the thieves on the wall evaded one after another. The culprit was too unprofessional, and he didn't even defend the city with his bow and arrow.
"Ah, ah, ah..." Some culprits were shot and screamed in pain.
Liu Xun originally thought that Fancheng would soon be captured if this continued.
"General, look at it." Xiang Chong, who was next to him, suddenly saw that there were many ordinary people in the city.
Liu Xun looked towards the top of the city, and saw that the culprits pressed many people onto the wall, and the people were crying and crying very pitifully.
Let go of your arrows and attack the city quickly... "The thief on the wall is very arrogant and constantly provocative.
Liu Xun hated the itching of his teeth, but if he attacked the city forcibly, he would inevitably hurt the people. It seemed that he could only find other ways. Liu Xun had to retreat and set up camp for ten miles.
Fancheng is a strategically important place, but now it is occupied by the thief army, Liu Xun is very anxious. Originally, it was not difficult to conquer the city, but Pei Yuanshao used the people as a human shield, which caused Liu Xun to dare not let go of the siege, which was really vicious.
You can't attack by force, you can only outsmart it. Someone needs to open the city gate and enlarge the army to enter, in order to attack the city from inside and outside. However, the city gate must be tightly guarded by Pei Yuanshao's army, and it is not easy to get into the city, which is difficult to handle.
There is no such suitable person in the army, who can get into the city. Liu Xun walked back and forth in the barracks. He couldn't think of a solution, and he was very anxious.
At this time, a bowl of water was handed over, and Liu Xun looked up, only to see Zhou Cang looking at himself with a smile.
"General, the weather is very hot. You must have been thirsty after being outside for so long," Zhou Cang said with a grin.
Only then did Liu Xun realize that it was getting late, and a bright moon hung in the sky, very bright. Liu Xun thought that he had also sat at Fancheng's house and looked up at Mingyue. It has been two years now. The moon is still the same bright moon at the beginning, but Fancheng has changed hands.
Liu Xun was displaced with his father since he was a child, and finally settled down in Fancheng. Liu Xun has long regarded Fancheng as his hometown. Moreover, his mother, Mrs. Gan, was also buried in the boundary of Fancheng, where Liu Xun's longing for his mother was also pinned.
"The general quickly drink it, you won't be thirsty after drinking it." Zhou Cang handed over the water again with gratitude. Because Zhou Cang lost the city, his life could never be kept. Fortunately, Liu Xun interceded, and Zhou Cang was only relegated to being a partner.
Zhou Cang is also a loyal person who knows how to be grateful, so he is grateful to Liu Xun, always thinking of having the opportunity to repay.
Liu Xun also felt that he was indeed thirsty, so he took the bowl and swallowed it up. After drinking the cold water, I felt really happy.
After drinking, Liu Xun handed the bowl back. Looking at Zhou Cang's honest face, Liu Xun was suddenly excited. Maybe Zhou Cang was the best candidate for Fancheng.
