Chapter 1818 Another Faithful Fading


    Ren Jun hated Wang Can who was clamoring in the city, and thought that everything must have been caused by this guy, so it was natural to suggest that he should just shoot Wang Can directly, so as to vent his anger.


    However, Xun Yu did not agree. It wasn''t that Xun Yu had any special feelings for Wang Can, but that Xun Yu felt that killing Wang Can would not change anything. What he was worried about was not the hussars in front of him, but whether there would be more soldiers and what happened from Heluo to Yuzhou...


    If General Hussars captured both Luoyang and Yangcheng without making a sound, and the soldiers pointed directly at Xu County, this worst situation, Xun Yu thought it should be impossible, but he said it was absolutely impossible However, Xun Yu was not absolutely sure. After all, he was facing Hussar General Fei Qian. Many impossible things had happened to this man, which made Xun Yu feel a little uneasy.


    『The four doors are closed, strictly guard! Xun Yu glanced at Wang Can who was shouting at the base of the city, then stared at Zhang Lie, Zhu Ling and other hussars who were wandering outside, pointed, and said, "This is a forward, not carrying siege equipment... just stick to it , don’t worry about it... If there is any change, I’ll let you know again...』


    Ren Jun nodded and took the order.


    Xun Yu also nodded, turned back and went down the city wall. In the corridor, he could still vaguely hear Wang Can''s hoarse and somewhat excited shout, so he shook his head involuntarily. Now that the situation is unclear, we should not act rashly, and more information is needed to assist in judgment. At the same time, for Xun Yu, it is more important to stabilize the city. After all, a cleanup operation has just been carried out. If you make trouble at a critical moment, it will really lead to a catastrophe!


    At the same time, His Majesty Liu Xie...


    Xun Yu seemed to see the indescribable expression on Liu Xie''s face when he heard about the sudden attack of the hussars. It seemed to contain some surprise, some expectation, some joy, and some other aspects. content, and these other things, it seems that you can take advantage of it.


    Outside the city, Zhu Ling looked up at the sky, then looked at the four closed walls of Xu County, frowned and said to Zhang Lie: "Brother Zhang, looking at this posture, I am afraid that he has already dealt with it... Wang Zhongxuan, this guy, There are people in the city to respond, those people... I''m afraid it''s more ominous than good luck...』


    Zhang Lie looked at the black smoke that still remained in the sky above Xu County, pointed, and said, "Well, it may be a little late... Look, those are obviously burning something... Hey! If I had come here earlier..."


    Zhu Ling nodded, then shook his head and said: "But Wang Zhongxuan said it was about this time... We are not late, but it should be early in the city... I just don''t know what the situation is now, but looking at it like this, It doesn''t seem to be very good...」


    The gates of the city were not in disorder, the black smoke was getting smaller, and there was no noise or screaming in the city, indicating that even if someone did something, it was likely to have been suppressed.


    『Duh! Zhang Lie turned his head and spat out the sand on the corner of his mouth, "If the city doesn''t move, even a few of us won''t be able to get in!" You can''t hit your head with it! This Wang Zhongxuan, I think 80% is out of the question...』


    Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling did not bring all the troops, and some were guarding the horses and supplies in the hiding place, so the current two or three hundred people alone were more than enough to raid some Cao army squads outside the city, but they said they would It would be a bit ridiculous to attack Xu County. After all, Xu County is also Cao Cao''s base camp that has been in business for many years. It is not a straw house that can be collapsed with a breath.


    Although it is said that Cao Jun is short of horses, if he fights with Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie outside the city, he will definitely suffer a loss, but if Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling go to attack the city with these soldiers and horses, Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling will suffer in turn.


    『Then…』Zhu Ling asked, 『Brother Zhang, what do you think… Next…』


    Zhang Lie picked up the water bag on the side of the horse, took two gulps, and handed it to Zhu Ling, "Look again...if it doesn''t work...you can only withdraw first..."


    Although I am not reconciled, I still have to face reality.


    Those who hit the south wall were not without success, but more corpses fell under the south wall. Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie are not the kind of people who insist on hitting the south wall...


    However, Wang Can is an exception.


    Wang Can felt that the biggest thing he had ever done in his life was the one in front of him.


    Even if the south wall stood in front of him, Wang Can would still hit it!


    So Wang Can didn''t care about Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie''s repeated gestures from behind, and insisted on continuing to persevere under the city.


    It''s just that Wang Canlue''s originally excited voice is gradually losing passion...


    『Go to two people, take this guy away! ’Zhu Ling pointed to Wang Can, and said somewhat dissatisfied.


    It''s getting late, since the city has been defeated and it is impossible to attack the city, why are you still waiting for someone to invite you to dinner? Besides, the war horse has been running for a long time, so it is time to loosen the horse''s belly and feed some fodder or something, otherwise people will feel uncomfortable if their belly is strangled for a long time, let alone a war horse that has to be bent alone?


    But the problem is that Wang Can refused to die, and even broke free from the pull of the soldiers, and drove his horse to the city!


    『Your Majesty! Must welcome His Majesty! You can''t retreat, you have to attack, attack! 』Wang Can shouted angrily, trying to make Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie obey his orders, and even drove the horses towards the city!


    I don''t know if it was Wang Can who wanted to drive the horse directly to the ditch below the city, or because he got too close to the ditch because of his excitement, and almost fell into the ditch, but the horse itself also has spirituality. He raised his front hooves high, jumped two steps backwards, then turned his body around, and turned around heavily.


    If the riding skills are good, they will naturally turn the direction along with the horses, but the question is whether Wang Can''s riding skills are not particularly bad, but they are not particularly good. In addition, from Xu County to Hangu, and then From Hangu to Xuxian County, the energy and physical strength were all exhausted, and he couldn''t hold the reins immediately, and fell into the ditch with a "plop" from the horse, splashing a huge water splash.


    The sudden change made both the upper and lower city stunned...


    The soldiers sent by Zhu Ling to lead Wang Can were also stunned. They didn''t know whether they should go to the edge of the moat to find people, or whether they should leave this unlucky guy alone, so they couldn''t help looking back at Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie.


    『…』


    『…』


    Zhu Ling was dumbfounded, and then saw the same expression on Zhang Lie''s face. If you send someone up to fish for this, won''t you be shot as a fool by Cao Jun in the city? It seems a little embarrassing and unreasonable not to send someone there...


    『Brother Zhongxuan Xian! Kong Rong, who was following behind, cried sadly, and then rushed to Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling, "What are you doing standing there?" ! Hurry up and save people! 』


    If it is said that Wang Can came here along the way, he was more or less a half-companion, and Kong Rong was basically a stranger to Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling. If Kong Rong spoke well and begged hard, Maybe Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, and sent a dozen soldiers to try it out, but Kong Rong''s tone and attitude were very blunt in desperation, which immediately made Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling''s hearts rise. There was a fire.


    After all, when soldiers lead teams, it is common for them to lick blood with knives. A few of them have soft tempers, and most of them are soft-tempered rather than hard-tempered. Ling and the other hussars also worked hard, so naturally they didn''t have much patience. Hearing Kong Rong''s scolding, Zhu Ling got angry immediately, and Zhu Ling pushed back unceremoniously, "Who are you?" Don''t you also have several people? Why don''t you help? 』


    『So... so and so is Kong Rong and Kong Wenju! Kong Rong stared. He didn''t expect Zhu Ling to be so rude. At the same time, Kong Rong, who was not very familiar with the military, made a second mistake at this moment, "Bold! The master general fell into the water, how can the subordinates sit idly by? ! Hurry up and save people! 』


    Kong Rong didn''t mean to make a mistake. He really thought that Wang Can brought these troops. Since Wang Can brought them, then naturally Wang Can was the main general. After all, he didn''t see any flags of other generals. I don’t know that for the sake of concealment, even the tricolor flag was only displayed when it was close to Xu County. Naturally, it is impossible to fly more battle flags with surnames...


    "what? ! Commander? Zhang Lie laughed and whistled, "Let''s go!" 』


    Zhu Ling also cast a glance at Kong Rongneng, too lazy to bother with him, and went straight to the distance with Zhang Lie and Hulala.


    The most important thing for cavalry is to maneuver. If they are fixed at the city of Xu County, they will probably not know when they are surrounded by people, but once they are pulled outside, the two-legged infantry can only stare blankly, even if some Thoughts are useless. Both Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling naturally had deep understanding of this way, so it was impossible to stay in Xu County for too long.


    …


    "This... Patriarch..." Kong Rong''s guards approached cautiously, "This... if you go further, you will be within the range of the city..." The guards knew that Kong Rong and Wang Can had some contacts, so they were also worried that if Kong Rong couldn''t think about it, they really wanted to fish for it. Wang Can, can you pick it up and say something else, the Cao soldiers on the top of the city are all watching, if a rain of arrows comes...


    You must know that Cao Jun on the top of the city is only afraid of the troops of General Hussars. Cao Jun will probably not be very polite to them three-legged cats.


    Kong Rong stood there for a while, then suddenly let out a wail, not knowing whether it was crying for Wang Can or himself, then turned his horse''s head and galloped away into the distance. Kong Rong''s remaining guards also hurriedly followed and left in a hurry.


    『Gulu... Gululu...』


    Wang Can struggled hard in the wide moat of Xu County, but on the one hand, he exhausted too much energy, and on the other hand, the wound on his leg twitched under the stimulation of the water, so Wang Can couldn''t help drinking in the moat. After a long time, the eyes turned white, and gradually sank, and the last thought was circling in my mind - "Why, why no one came to save me..."


    A kit, perhaps because of the air in it, or because it was not soaked by water for a while, unexpectedly floated from Wang Can''s arms, upward, upward, as if chasing the only one in the current. However, under the erosion of the surrounding darkness, it gradually sank.


    A bamboo fence stretched out, caught the kit, and then it fell into a rough, cracked, dark and dirty hand, and after a short while, it was replaced by another one that was full of calluses, but it was a little cleaner His hand was immediately placed in a lacquer box, supported by another clean hand, and he walked dangling for a long time, and then a hand that became whiter and more delicate took it over until It arrived at a long black table with patterns drawn with gold and silver lines.


    A clear and calm voice sounded from the side. Xun Yu cupped his hands in a calm manner and said, "Your Majesty, the cavalry... have retreated..."


    A somewhat pale, but very clean hand lightly touched the brocade bag, and quickly shrank back as if it had been scalded by the brocade bag.


    Liu Xie withdrew his hand, and also withdrew his eyes, maybe he couldn''t bear to look at it, or he didn''t dare to look at it, "Wang Zhongxuan..." This tip was given to Wang Can by him, and now this tip is presented to him, maybe It just shows one thing...


    『Wang Zhongxuan threw himself into the river and died...』 Xun Yu''s tone was flat, as if telling the second young master of the landlord''s family that another chicken was stolen by a weasel today, with a little bit of regret, but not much sadness.


    Liu Xie was stunned.


    Did Xun Yu lie?


    No.


    It''s just that the sequence of events was not specifically explained to Liu Xie.


    Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie retreated, but not because of Wang Can, but because the situation had changed and was too different from the original plan, so they had to retreat.


    And Wang Can threw himself into the river, but it wasn''t Wang Can who threw himself into the river. Maybe he really had the will to die, but it was more like an accident. Or being shot by a stream arrow.


    The most important thing is that Wang Can accidentally fell into the moat first, and Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling saw that it was difficult to rescue them, so they retreated later. When Xun Yu said this, it seemed that Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling retreated in turn, and then Wang Can retreated. Can see that things can''t be done, so he throws himself into the river...


    When the order of front and back is reversed, the meanings implied will be greatly different. It’s like Boss Cao’s father died, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, and then attacked Xuzhou with Cao Cao, and his father died. Although the events described in the two statements are the same, the former seems to be Boss Cao’s revenge for his father. , and the latter is nothing more than a dog eats a dog, and it is purely self-inflicted.


    Xun Yu''s words, to Liu Xie''s ears, were like the hussars who saw that the situation had changed and felt that Wang Can was useless, so they left Wang Can without hesitation, and Wang Can was so loyal, just like Qu Yuan. In general, throw yourself into the river to show your ambition!


    Xun Yu glanced at Liu Xie who was stunned, cupped his hands silently, and then retreated. A wise man always knows how best to speak.


    There was a silence in the hall.


    After a long time, there was a faint sigh.


    『Wang Aiqing...』


    Liu Xie suddenly felt that Wang Can was actually a loyal minister, a loyal minister of the great man, and he seemed to have doubted, guarded against, and speculated about such a loyal minister of the great man before. This was his mistake, and this was also the sorrow of the great man.


    "Loyal minister" Wang Can died, but what about the rest of them?


    Wang Yun is dead, Dong Cheng is dead, Geng Ji is dead, Wang Can is dead, why do loyal ministers die like this one after another, and then I seem to be left...


    The big Han Sikong Cao Cao, and the big Han Hushi Feiqian.


    Of course, there are also those generals and counselors under their command, and none of the so-called great Han clans, even including Liu Bei, can be relied on!


    Why?


    Why did the big man become what he is now? Why can''t God give himself a chance?


    Liu Xie''s eyes gradually returned from the empty hall to the kit on the desk case. After staring at it for a long time, he finally let out a hoarse voice from his throat, "Wang Aiqing...Zhen...Wang Aiqing..."
