Chapter 1580 Autumn Wind Blows Fallen Leaves

The lord of Shouan City is a young man with sunken eyes and a drunken look.

Look at the brocade and pearls he wears, all indicating his wealthy background.

According to Xue Rushi, this man was the third son of Guangping Hou Lifu, a man who was greedy for money, lustful, and called an eagle and a lackey. The Marquis of Guangping thought he was too embarrassing, so he drove him out of Guiyi early and transferred him to the border mansion.

It is called Ziye, but in fact it is nothing.

Relying on the stack of countless spiritual medicines and some spiritual talents, he opened the door to heaven and earth and became a dragon. After that, he was mediocre and the Marquis of Guangping spent a lot of effort to help him accumulate official achievements before he could get into the inner palace.

There is no one magical power.

If he hadn't had a good father, he would never have been able to reach the position of Lord of a City.

When he was in Shou'an City, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, he was enjoying himself freely, and every day was full of messy things. The city defense of Shou'an City is all handled by Yuan Zhen, the city guard general and Li Fu's old subordinate.

Two days before Chongxuan Sheng besieged the city, Li Ziye didn't even go up to the tower. Today I don't know why I remembered to patrol the city defense.

Jiang Wang's Qianyang red eyes could even see clearly that he was not awake.

According to Xue Rushi, this kind of person should surrender as soon as he is persuaded...

I never imagined that the reaction would be so intense now.

The man cursed loudly on the tower, throwing dirty slang words here and there. He cursed with such force that thousands of people in Xinrong Camp frowned.

The Shouan Tower was scolded, and there was a burst of applause.

Chong Xuan Sheng didn't care much.

He knows very well that a person's normal performance does not mean everything about that person.

He didn't care that a dandy like Li Ziye showed extraordinary courage in critical moments.

Because the situation in Fengli Mansion has been decided, the determination and courage of a few people have nothing to do with the overall situation...

If there is anything worth paying attention to, it is the morale of Xinrong Camp. After all, it is a matter of "eating the enemy for one minute is worth twenty for me."

Xue Rushi looked at Li Ziye on the tower, at this dandy boy who he usually looked down upon... He clearly had the strength to crush him to death with one hand, he clearly had the eloquence to scold him to make him vomit blood, and he clearly had countless others. It's like the reason why a good bird chooses a tree to roost, but in the end he didn't say anything and returned to Chongxuan Sheng in disgrace.

"General Chongxuan, I..."

Chong Xuansheng asked him with a smile: "Is Marquis Guangping from Changluo?"

Xue Rushi didn't understand why he suddenly asked this, but he still said honestly: "My ancestral home is Changluo."

Chong Xuansheng glanced at Jiang Wang, which meant, do you think I am right?

Then he said to Xue Rushi, "Doesn't it feel good to be pointed at the nose and scolded?"

Xue Rushi remained silent.

Chongxuan Sheng said sincerely: "General Xue, just a Li Ziye exists today and will die tomorrow. No matter how harsh the scolding is, it will have no impact on your reputation. I don't know how many Li Ziye there are in Xia State, but I know ——The records of the same thing in Xia History and Qi History are completely different.”

"General...I know!" Xue Rushi said.

Chong Xuansheng patted his shoulder: "The history of Xia will definitely end with this battle. The survival of a Dai city will not be recorded. But the history of Qi is still very long. It depends on whether you can leave a chapter. Your performance."

After saying that, without waiting for Xue Rushi's response, he strode forward, within a hundred steps of the city gate, and looked at the top of the city tower: "Li Ziye!"

His loud voice was like thunder, which shocked the flags and flags on the city tower and stopped Li Ziye's torrent of curses: "I know you are a bastard. You can do whatever you want to do to the people of Xia, and I don't care." You. But Xue Rushi is different! I gave him the imperial seal, and he is already a member of Qi! Do you really want to die happily if you dare to insult my subordinates?"

He pointed his halberd at the city tower, as if hitting the face of the young man with sunken eyes: "If you don't apologize to him today, when the city is destroyed, you will be used to light a sky lantern!"

Its voice, its power, its power.

Li Ziye was so shocked that he took a step back and almost fell!

The Shou'an City guard next to him saw that the situation was not good, supported him with one hand, and waved forward with the other.

In an instant, the big crossbow on the city tower moved, and eight military-made law-breaking crossbow arrows, which were nine feet long, blocked every place and shot towards them with a roar.

Chongxuan Sheng pressed his big hand forward, and Chongxuan's power gathered crazily, directly stopping the eight roaring spell-breaking crossbow arrows in the air! With a grasp of the five fingers, the eight spell-breaking crossbow arrows twisted, mashed together, and were crushed into a huge iron ball.

"Li Ziye, I'll give you one day to think about it! Surrender and apologize! Otherwise..."

The huge iron ball in the air changed its shape as he spoke, and finally shaped into an iron man with his belly cut open. With a big move from Chong Xuan Sheng, he hit the city gate hard!

boom!

"So Iron Man!"

At the same time, he hooked his other hand behind his back.

Jiang Wang, who was on horseback, had a tacit understanding. His eyes turned red and gold, and he only glanced at the iron man. A wisp of flames gathered at the iron man's belly button, burning fiercely!

It really looks like a person has been lit up with a sky lantern alive!

Where has Li Ziye seen such a battle? It is true that he is patriotic and he hates the Qi people deeply, but after all, he is just a pampered playboy who is good at teasing women from good families, but he has never really experienced the test of life and death! Seeing his possible death with my own eyes at this time, presented in such an intuitive way, my whole person almost collapsed, and I couldn't care less about his grace.

"Put it out, put it out!"

He pointed down the tower and shouted.

There were non-commissioned officers nearby who quickly used Taoist magic to cause a waterfall to fall.

The magic water rushed to the flames, but was ignited by the fire!

The fire poured down the waterfall, almost reaching the tower, and the flames spread with fangs and claws.

A group of non-commissioned officers on the tower were so shocked that everyone fell back.

Li Ziye fell even further——

Only then did he realize that the flames had been blocked by the brilliance of the city defense formation. It was impossible to hurt him...

Yuan Zhen watched all this silently, knowing that Shou'an City could not be defended at all.

Morale has collapsed and reinforcements are exhausted.

No matter who comes, there is no way to save it.

The lords of the city were so frightened that the fall of Shou'an City was inevitable...it just depended on whether they were willing to die for the city.

He himself is not afraid of death. Li Ziye has blood in his bones, and he might be able to die in the same city if he grits his teeth, but what about the others?

When Li Ziye was stunned, many people's eyes had changed...

Anger breeds courage, hatred breeds strength. But when the cold water is applied, fear will extinguish everything.

Yuan Zhen stood forward, blocking Li Ziye behind him, and said to Zhongxuan Sheng: "We can surrender, but -"

Chong Xuansheng waved his hand and cut him off: "I don't like others to negotiate terms with me. Now let me repeat my terms. If you can accept it, open the city! If you can't accept it, you'll die!"

"Now open the city gate and surrender. This man named Li Ziye sincerely apologizes to my subordinates. In this way, when the city is opened, no one in Shou'an City will die. I promise that you will be treated the same as the defenders of Dai City. I promise that you will be treated the same in the future." The dignity of being a Qi person!”

Having said this, Chongxuan Sheng rolled up his robe sleeves: "Choose!"

"I won't apologize..."

Li Ziye, who could not stand before, murmured, then raised his voice and became hysterical: "Don't even think about it, I won't apologize! Traitors deserve to be scolded! I will scold you again! Xue Rushi, you bitch—— "

"You don't have to apologize!" Chong Xuansheng suppressed his curse with a louder voice, and said extremely fiercely: "You can also commit suicide before I destroy the city and avoid suffering! But how many people do you have in Guangping Marquis Mansion? People? Is there time for everyone to commit suicide? I swear in the name of the Chongxuan family that I will repay the insults suffered by my generals when the city of Guiyi was destroyed!"

Xue Rushi stood behind Zhong Xuansheng, silent for a moment.

Of course he knew that Zhong Xuan Sheng's gesture was mostly for show, but he was still inevitably touched in his heart.

He is just a side branch of the Yangling Marquis Mansion, and he is always attached to him. To be honest, how many people care about his dignity?

Although he had never looked down on Li Ziye, didn't he always have to smile when he was in front of Li Ziye?

He cherished his reputation, worked diligently, and worked hard for many years before he could one day take over Dai City. Li Ziye, who had accomplished nothing, had to become the master of Shou'an City because of his incompetence!

How could Li Ziye ever think so highly of him?

However, Zhongxuan Sheng was actually protecting his dignity and supporting him extremely domineeringly.

No matter what the starting point is...

This move indeed erased his regret and reduced his shame.

Not far away, the soldiers of Xinrong Camp, who were dejected after being scolded, straightened up unconsciously. In an extremely subtle way, the recognition of the identity of "Qi Ren" was produced.

But Li Ziye, who was gnashing his teeth on the tower at the moment, was in a completely different mood.

He wanted to scold Qi Gou, his father was the Marquis of Guangping, what should he be afraid of!

But what the other party brought up was the name of the Chongxuan family!

The Chongxuan family who produced Chongxuan Mingtu and Chongxuan Chu Liang.

In particular, the name Ji Tu is something that can stop children from crying at night in Xia Di.

How dare he say that I am not afraid, but if you have the guts, you will kill my whole family?

Why can't a man named Chongxuan kill his whole family?

He gritted his teeth but couldn't make a sound. He held onto hatred but couldn't avoid the fear.

Chong Xuansheng's grasp of people's hearts is really wonderful. Every sentence falls on the key point, easily defeating Li Ziye's psychological defense line, and at the same time completing the further assimilation of Xinrongying.

On the tower, Yuan Zhen finally realized that everything could no longer be undone.

This fat young general was truly the most terrifying opponent he had ever encountered in his life.

He could only sit in Sleepy City, watching the morale of the defenders slip into the abyss step by step, and watching his young master's psychological defenses being torn apart.

There was nothing he could do.

But he still decided to launch his final counterattack.

On the tower where people were panicking, this middle-aged military general with nothing to say about his life spoke loudly: "General Chongxuan, please listen to me! I am Yuan Zhen, the defender of Shouan City. I am fully responsible for the defense of this city. I am willing to donate The city surrenders! My young master is young and arrogant, and his words have indeed offended General Xue... You want an apology, Yuan Zhen fully understands! I, Shouan City, should repay General Xue!"

"Of course, the master has humiliated his minister to death! Yuan Zhen cannot watch the young master bend his knees!"

He was on the tower, looking at Xue Rushi.

"On behalf of my young master, I will apologize to General Xue!"

With a casual move, he pulled out a saber from the waist of the sergeant next to him.

He simply turned the tip of the knife and stabbed it into his abdomen!

"please forgive!"

He stared at Xue Rushi blankly with his eyes wide open and angry.

With one wrong move of the long sword, half of his body was cut open, and blood splattered on the tower on the spot!

Hot blood sprayed all over Li Ziye's face and body.

It was quiet on the tower of Shouan City.

Downstairs in Shouan City, it was also quiet.

It is difficult for people to communicate with each other.

Xue Rushi's mood was as if it were twisting and turning on a mountain road, going up and down for several rounds. At this moment, her lips were closed, but she didn't know what to say. forgive? Don’t forgive? Even...I'm sorry?

Li Ziye was completely confused.

Jiang Wang felt respectful.

Fourteen had no idea, only a little surprised.

In his heart, Chong Xuan Sheng could not help but applaud Yuan Zhen!

Yuan Zhen's move not only saved Shou'an City and his young master, but also planted the seeds of hatred and resentment in the hearts of these defenders.

Li Ziye just scolded Xue Rushi. Even if you Zhongxuan Sheng continued to protect his generals, why would you force Yuan Zhen to death?

It can be said that when it was completely impossible to defend Shou'an City, Yuan Zhen used his death to force Chongxuan Sheng into the worst situation. Even though he can win the city, he cannot win the hearts of the people.

Unfortunately, this is not a big trouble for Chong Xuan Sheng either.

"What a great Yuan Zhen!"

Chong Xuan Sheng did not hesitate at all, and immediately spoke in a loud voice: "It is the quality of a gentleman to know his mistakes and be able to correct them. The so-called responsibility is the proof of a brave man! I know your intentions! The grudge between Li Ziye and Xue Rushi, From now on, I will write it off, and I promise not to hurt Li Ziye even a hair. May your spirit in heaven rest in peace!"

He continued to the defenders on the tower: "Yuan Zhen surrendered to Qi and then committed suicide. Before his death, he entrusted Shou'an City to me. I will treat you all as colleagues and fellow villagers! From now on, Shou'an City will be my Chongxuan Sheng’s second hometown. I respect Yuan Zhen’s surrender on behalf of the Qi army. I recognize his loyalty, his righteousness, and his bravery as the Qi people. I must remember him as a role model, honor his last wishes, and inherit his spirit!”

After that, he waved his hand again: "Why don't you open the city gate yet? I'm going to give him a grand burial!"

The defenders in front of the city gate subconsciously obeyed his order and opened the city gate...

Longevity is now secured, and the victorious camp has conquered another city!

From this moment until the Qi army took over the defense of Shou'an City, Li Ziye sat there in a daze. Silent and motionless.

I don’t know if I was really confused for so long, or if I had to be confused for so long.

In the end, Xue Rushi sent him back to Yuan Zhen's house to rest.

As for the city lord's palace, it is naturally occupied by Zhongxuan Sheng...

Qingzhuan went to Linwu Mansion to invite reinforcements, totaling 50,000 troops. They did not arrive in force until the day of Yuan Zhenfeng's funeral.

Chongxuan Sheng completed Yuan Zhen's funeral completely, leaving two thousand people to defend the city.

He personally led a large army, including the Victory Camp, the Xinrong Camp, and the Zhenwu Camp, which was newly formed with troops surrendered from Shou'an City. He took all the war resources of Shou'an City and continued to march south.

The main force is of course the coalition forces of the countries in the Eastern Region. With the current morale of Xinrong Camp, it can already participate in a war of a certain intensity. Zhenwu Camp accompanied the army mainly to avoid the hidden dangers of staying in the city, but it also had the function of building momentum and helping to persuade the enemy to surrender.

Of course, the city defense formation of Shou'an City was also destroyed by Zhenwuying himself. Chong Xuan Sheng is very familiar with this trick.

From this day on, the war in Fengli Mansion entered the stage of falling leaves in the autumn wind.

Governor Chongxuan Sheng's west road and Governor Bao Bozhao's east road each led 50,000 reinforcements, as well as their own troops and horses. With sufficient troops, subordinates and an isolated mansion, they were invincible!

On December 25, 3920 in Dao Li, Fan Ao, who had been struggling for nearly 20 days, finally accepted the reality that he was unable to save his life and fled to Huiming with no more than 3,000 remaining soldiers.

The whole territory of Fengli Prefecture changed its flags.
