Chapter 1818: Loyalty fades again
Ren Jun was disgusted with the clamoring Wang Can in the city, and believed that this guy must have caused everything. Therefore, he naturally suggested that he simply shoot Wang Can directly to make him feel bad.
However, Xun Yu did not agree. It''s not that Xun Yu has any special feelings for Wang Can, but Xun Yu feels that killing Wang Can won''t change anything. What he was worried about was not the hussars and horses in front of him, but whether there would be more soldiers behind him, and what exactly happened from Heluo to Yuzhou...
If the hussar generals had captured both Luoyang and Yangcheng without saying a word, and their troops were directed towards Xu County, this was the worst possible situation. Xun Yu thought it should be impossible, but he said it was completely impossible. , Xun Yu was not absolutely sure. After all, he was facing the Cavalry General Fei Qian. Many impossible things had happened to this man, which made Xun Yu somewhat uneasy.
『The four doors are closed tightly and you are on strict alert! ” , don’t pay attention... If anything happens, I will let you know again..."
Ren Jun nodded and accepted the order.
Xun Yu also nodded, and walked back down the city wall. In the corridor, he could still vaguely hear Wang Can''s hoarse and somewhat excited shouts, and he couldn''t help but shake his head. The situation is unclear now, so we should not act rashly. More information is needed to assist judgment. At the same time, for Xun Yu, it is more important to stabilize the city. After all, a clearing operation has just been carried out. If some fish that slip through the net take the opportunity to Making trouble at a critical moment can really lead to disaster!
At the same time, there is also His Majesty Liu Xie...
Xun Yu''s eyes seemed to be filled with 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 aspects seem to be able to be used.
Outside the city, Zhu Ling looked up at the sky, and then at the Xu County city wall with four closed gates. He frowned and said to Zhang Lie, "Brother Zhang, looking at this posture, I''m afraid he has already dealt with it... This guy Wang Zhongxuan, There are people in the city who are talking about taking over, and those people... are probably in serious danger..."
?Zhang Lie looked at the faint black smoke that still lingered over Xu County, pointed at it, and said, "Well, maybe I''m a little late... Look, those are obviously burning something... Hi!" If I had come here earlier..."
Zhu Ling nodded, shook his head and said: "But Wang Zhongxuan said it was about this time before... 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 this, It doesn’t seem like much…』
?The city gate is not in chaos, the black smoke is getting smaller, and no noises and roars are heard in the city, indicating that even if someone takes action, it is likely to have been suppressed.
『Duh! ” Zhang Lie turned his head and spit out the sand that was stained on the corner of his mouth, “If the city doesn’t move, even a few of us can’t get in! You can''t hit your head with it! I think this Wang Zhongxuan is 80% hopeless..."
Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling did not bring all the men and horses, and some were in hiding to guard the horses and baggage. Therefore, with the two or three hundred men at the moment, it was more than enough to raid some Cao Jun detachments outside the city, but they said Attacking Xu County would be a bit funny. After all, Xu County is also Cao Cao''s base camp that has been in operation for many years. It is not a straw straw house that can be knocked down by blowing on it. It has solid city walls, suspension bridges, ditches, and antlers and stones.
Although Cao''s army lacks horses, if he attacks Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie outside the city, he will definitely suffer a loss. However, if Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling take these troops and horses to attack the city, Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling will suffer a loss in turn.
"So..." 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 sips, and handed it to Zhu Ling, "Let''s see...if it doesn''t work...we have to withdraw first..."
?Although I am not reconciled, I still have to face reality.
Those who hit the south wall were not without success, but there were more corpses that fell under the south wall. Neither Zhu Ling nor Zhang Lie are the kind of people who insist on hitting the wall...
?However, Wang Can is an exception.
?Wang Can feels that the biggest thing he has done in his life is the one in front of him.
Even if this southern wall is erected in front of him, Wang Can will still hit it!
?So Wang Can ignored Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie''s repeated signals from behind and continued to insist on his own way under the city.
It''s just that Wang Can''s voice, which seemed a little excited at first, is gradually losing its passion...
『Go two people and take this guy away! Zhu Ling pointed at Wang Can and said with some dissatisfaction.
?It is getting late. Since the city has been defeated and it is impossible to attack the city, why are you still waiting here for someone to invite you to dinner? Besides, the war horse has been running for most of the day. It''s time to loosen the horse''s belly and feed it some fodder. Otherwise, it will make people feel uncomfortable if it has its belly stretched for a long time. What''s more, the horse has to hump alone?
??But the problem is that Wang Can refused to live or die, and even broke away from the soldiers, drove his horse towards the city!
Your Majesty! We must welcome His Majesty! You can''t retreat, you have to attack, attack! ” Wang Can shouted angrily, trying to get Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie to obey his orders, and even drove the horses towards the city!
I don’t know whether Wang Can wanted to drive the horse directly to the trench under the city, or because he was too excited and got too close to the trench and almost fell into the trench. However, the war horse itself also has spirituality. When approaching the trench, Gao He raised his front hooves, jumped back two steps, then turned around, turning around heavily.
If his riding skills are good, he will naturally turn the direction with the war horse. But the question is Wang Can''s riding skills. Although it is not particularly bad, it is not particularly good either. In addition, from Xu County to Hangu, and then Then from Hangu to Xu County, the energy and physical strength were exhausted. Suddenly, I couldn''t hold the reins, and the horse fell from the top of the war horse into the ditch with a "thud", causing a huge splash of water.
The sudden change made both sides of the 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 city protection ditch to fish for people, or whether they should ignore this unfortunate guy. They couldn''t help but look back at Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie.
…
…
Zhu Ling was stunned, and then saw the same expression on Zhang Lie''s face. If we send someone to fish it out, will we not be shot into fools by Cao Jun in the city? Rather than sending someone there, it seems a bit embarrassing and unjustifiable...
Brother Zhongxuan! Kong Rong, who was following behind, shouted sadly, then rushed in front of Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling, "What are you doing standing here?" ! Why don''t you save people quickly! 』
If Wang Can can be said to have run here together more or less, and is more or less a half companion, then Kong Rong is basically a stranger to Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling. If Kong Rong had spoken nicely and begged, Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling might have gritted their teeth and stamped their feet, and sent a dozen soldiers to try to get a handful. However, Kong Rong was so anxious that his tone and attitude were very harsh, which immediately made Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling feel excited. Got angry.
After all, it is common for soldiers and leaders to lick blood from the tip of a knife. Some of them have a soft temper, but most of them have a soft temper. In addition, Wang Can has been working hard all the way, Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling and the other hussars were also working hard, so naturally they didn''t have much patience. When they heard Kong Rong''s scolding, they were immediately furious. Zhu Ling said back unceremoniously, "Who are you?" Don’t you also have a few people? Why don''t you save me? 』
…Someone is Kong Rong and Kong Wenju! Kong Rong stared, not expecting Zhu Ling to be so rude. At the same time, Kong Rong, who was not very familiar with the military, made his second mistake at this moment, "Bold!" When the general falls into the water, how can a subordinate officer sit back and watch? ! Why don''t you save people quickly! Kong Rong didn’t mean to make a mistake. He really thought that these troops were brought by Wang Can. Since Wang Can brought them, naturally Wang Can was the main general. After all, he didn’t see any other generals’ flags. He I didn’t know that in order to conceal themselves, even the tricolor flag was only raised when Xu County was approaching. Naturally, it was impossible to raise a few more battle flags with different surnames...
"ha? ! General? Zhang Lie laughed and whistled, "Let''s go!" 』
??Zhu Ling also glanced at Kong Rongkeng and was too lazy to argue with him. He went directly to the distance with Zhang Lie and his men and horses.
The most important thing for cavalry is maneuvering. If they are stationed under Xu County City, they will probably not know when they are surrounded. But once they are dragged outside, the two-legged infantry can only stare, even if some Ideas are useless. Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling naturally have this knowledge, so they cannot stay in Xu County for too long.
??Kong Rong was dumbfounded as he watched Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling lead their troops away in the dust. For a moment, he didn’t know what he was going to do...
"This... the head of the family..." Kong Rong''s guard came over cautiously, "This... if you go over, you will be within the shooting range of the city..." The guard knew that Kong Rong and Wang Can had some contacts, so they were worried that if Kong Rong couldn''t figure it out, he really wanted to fish it out. Wang Can, let’s talk about whether you can fish it up. Cao’s soldiers on top of this city are all watching with eager eyes. If a hail of arrows rains down...
You must know that the only thing that scares Cao Jun on the city is the cavalry generals. Cao Jun will probably not be too polite to these three-legged cats.
Kong Rong stood there for a long time, then suddenly wailed, whether he was crying for Wang Can or himself, then he turned the horse''s head and ran wildly into the distance. Kong Rong''s remaining guards quickly followed and fled.
Gulu…Guluulu…』
Wang Can struggled hard in the wide moat of Xu County, but on the one hand, his physical strength and energy were consumed too much. On the other hand, the wound on his leg twitched under the stimulation of the water, which made Wang Can couldn''t help but drink in the trench. After a long time, my eyes turned white, and gradually I sank, and the last thought was swirling in my mind - "Why, why no one came to save me..."
A brocade bag, perhaps because of the air inside it, or because it had not been soaked by water for a while, actually floated up from Wang Can''s arms, upwards, upwards, as if chasing the only thing in the current. The light, but had to gradually sink under the erosion of the surrounding darkness.
A bamboo fence stretched out and held the kit, and then it came into a rough and cracked, dark and dirty hand. Then not long after, it was replaced by another one covered with calluses, but a little cleaner. His hand was immediately placed in a lacquer box, supported by another clean hand, and walked swaying for a long time, and then a hand that became increasingly whiter and more delicate took over, until Arriving at a long black table with patterns drawn with gold and silver lines.
A clear and calm voice sounded from the side. Xun Yu calmly raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the cavalry and horses...have retreated..."
?A pale but very clean hand gently touched the brocade bag, and then quickly retracted it as if it had been burned by the brocade bag.
Liu Xie retracted his hand and his gaze, perhaps because he couldn''t bear to look at it, or because he didn''t dare to look at it. "Wang Zhongxuan..." This tip bag was given to Wang Can by him, and now that the tip bag was presented to him, maybe That explains one thing...
"Wang Zhongxuan jumped into the river and died..." Xun Yu''s tone was calm, as if telling the second young master of the landlord''s family that another chicken was stolen by a weasel today, with a little regret, but not much sadness.
Liu Xie was stunned.
Did Xun Yu lie?
No.
It''s just that he didn''t explain the sequence of events to Liu Xie.
? Zhu Ling and Zhang Lie retreated, but not because of Wang Can, but because they saw that the situation had changed and it was too different from the original plan, so they had to retreat.
As for Wang Can, he threw himself into the river, but he didn''t do it on his own initiative. He might have really had the will to die, but it was more like an accident, like someone who might have stumbled on a weed on the battlefield, or something like that. Or like being shot by a stray arrow.
The most important thing is that Wang Can accidentally fell into the moat first. Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling retreated when they saw that it was difficult to rescue them. When Xun Yu said this, it seemed that Zhang Lie and Zhu Ling retreated, and then Wang Can retreated. Chan saw that there was nothing he could do, so he threw himself into the river...
When the order of the words is reversed, the meaning will be completely different. It''s like Boss Cao''s father died, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, and then he and Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, 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 just dog eating dog, and it is purely your own fault.
Xun Yu''s words sounded to Liu Xie like a horseman who saw that the situation had changed and felt that Wang Can was no longer useful, so he abandoned Wang Can regardless of it. However, Wang Can was so loyal, just like Qu Yuan. Generally speaking, you can throw yourself into a river to clear your mind!
Xun Yu glanced at Liu Xie who was stunned, silently cupped his hands, and then retreated. A wise person always knows how best to say something.
There was a silence in the main hall.
After a long time, a faint sigh came out.
『Wang Aiqing…』
Liu Xie suddenly felt that Wang Can was actually a loyal minister and a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. However, he seemed to have doubted, guarded, and speculated about such a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty before. This was his own mistake, and it was also the tragedy of the Han Dynasty.
"Loyal minister" Wang Can is dead, but what about the remaining people?
?Wang Yun died, Dong Cheng died, Geng Ji died, Wang Can died, why did loyal ministers die like this one after another, and then I seemed to be the only one left...
The great Han Sikong Cao Cao, and the great Han hussar Fei Qian.
?Of course, there are also the generals and counselors under their command, and none of the so-called Han clan members, not even Liu Bei, can be trusted!
Why?
Why did the big man become like this? Why couldn''t God give him a chance?
Liu Xie''s eyes gradually returned from the empty hall to the brocade bag on the table. He stared at it for a long time, and finally made a hoarse voice from his throat, "Wang Aiqing...I...Wang Aiqing..."
