Chapter 713: The Sharp Blade Is Unsheathed, Blood Splashes in Chang'an
"Mr. Zhuge, now that Cheng Yu has got out of the frying pan, at the foot of Lutou Mountain, can the weapon that Mr. Zhuge ambushed that can blow away the rocks be removed?"
Watching Cheng Yu being gradually swallowed up by the scalding hot oil, the barbarian general Wu Tu Gu said calmly.
Of course, although his tone was very light, it could be seen with the naked eye that the emotion of fear was still spreading in his pupils. It was obvious that the sudden explosion around the barbarian camp yesterday made him particularly frightened.
That horrific scene made the barbarian's first warrior feel terrified and uneasy.
On the other hand, when Zhuge Liang heard Wu Tu Gu's words, he spoke calmly and calmly as usual and chanted three words. "No need to withdraw..."
Wu Tu Gu was startled, and then he asked with a little anger, "Sir, you still can't trust us barbarians?"
"No!" Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan lightly, and in the rippling breeze, he explained: "There are various ethnic groups in Shu, including barbarians, Di people, Mi people, Wa people, etc. There are many ethnic groups...and only through the unity of all ethnic groups can peace and stability be achieved in Sichuan. Once the Han people go to war with any ethnic group, won't it be the thousands of people living in this land who will suffer?"
Having said this, Zhuge Liang paused for a moment, and then raised his tone slightly, "Including you barbarians, I have never wanted to harm any ethnic group here. It is precisely because of this, how can I seriously bury a tree under your feet?" This big killer weapon? Yesterday's outer circle was just a deterrent, but here, under the feet of hundreds of thousands of barbarian soldiers, I did not plant any explosives. Here, no one will be killed because of me, Zhuge Liang. , Han, should be peaceful and united..."
No one knows, is what Zhuge Liang said true or false?
But there is no doubt that when these words came out of his mouth, hearing them in the ears of the barbarian general Wu Tu Gu, he only felt deafening.
So much so that a pair of pupils couldn't help but widen.
deterrence? Is it just a deterrent?
Is it just to scare them?
Is it true that there has never been such a "big killer" under their feet that can kill people overnight?
Barbarians are martial, they don't think so much in their minds, and they don't go around and around, they are more like a stick, recognizing what they see and hear in front of them!
It was precisely because of this that Zhuge Liang blurted out these words, making Wu Tu Gu look at him with eyes that... became admiration and reverence.
At the end, Wu Tu Gu actually learned the etiquette of the Han people and solemnly bowed his hand to Zhuge Liang. He even imitated the tone of the Han people and said, "Sir, Gao Yi——"
After saying that, Wu Tu Gu turned around and walked away.
Zhuge Liang looked at his leaving figure. He knew that soon, his "majestic" image would spread throughout the barbarian army.
And with the help of his "majestic" image, Zhuge Liang could already see the hope of Nanzhong surrendering and Han and barbarians coexisting.
And isn't this where he and Guan Lin share the same heroic views on the issue of governing barbarians?
Actually, it’s just eight words.
——Attack the enemy first, attack the heart first!
…
On the other side, Meng Huo's long-pitched roar startled several eagles that were already asleep in the military camp.
"Your name is Guan Suo, right?"
With angry eyes, Meng Huo's pupils were extremely dilated as he stared at the young man who had slept with his precious daughter.
"Father Guan Yunchang!"
"Brother Guan Yunqi!"
"Guan Suo and Guan Weizhi are all here! My son-in-law pays homage to his father-in-law!"
Guan Suo held his head high and met Meng Huo's almost murderous eyes.
Their eyes met, and he had no intention of retreating because of the coldness in the other's eyes. He faced his prospective father-in-law directly, and his resolute and courageous cheeks seemed to reveal a sentence:
——"Father-in-law, I am sure to take care of this barbaric son-in-law!" 』
Or if he was more domineering, Guan Suo seemed to say, "I slept with your daughter, what can you do?" 』
how?
With a "bang" sound, Meng Huo punched the table. The whole table broke due to his excessive force.
"Have you taken the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's heart? My precious daughter, I was afraid of hurting even a hair on her when I held it in my hands, but you...but...but..."
At the end of the sentence, Meng Huo was suddenly speechless and couldn't find a suitable adjective.
He could only subconsciously step forward, walking towards Guan Suo angrily and fiercely step by step, even... deliberately making himself more fierce.
Never thought...
"Don't hurt my husband——"
But they saw Wang Tao and Wang Yue unsheathing their swords and standing in front of Guan Suo to stop Meng Huo from approaching their lover.
At this time, Bao Sanniang also pulled out her riding whip and stood in front of Wang Tao and Wang Yue.
"If you want to touch my husband, you must first get through me——"
The entire three girls were frightened and fearless in the face of the ferocious Barbarian King——
Seeing this situation, Huawan quickly stood in front of Bao Sanniang, "Dad, you can't hurt them..."
Speaking of this, Huawan explained, "If it weren't for Sister Bao, my daughter would have been assassinated by those assassins long ago. Without sisters Wang Tao and Wang Yue, how could my daughter have been treated? I'm afraid that what is now in front of my father is My daughter is already a mummy... As for Guan Suo, it was he who saved her daughter from so many thieves. We, the sons and daughters of the barbarian tribe, owe us the greatest kindness. Whether my daughter repays the kindness of her three sisters or repays the kindness of Guan Suo, she is committing herself to the world. He has become a real sister with you, so why not?"
He was stopped by four women one after another...especially his own daughter.
For a moment, Meng Huo's mood became extremely complicated and melancholy...
Even, from the bottom of his heart, he despised Guan Suo and felt that he could only hide behind women, so what the hell? This makes him worthy of being Meng Huo’s son-in-law!
Never thought that Meng Huo would get angry again.
"No, you don't have to be like this..."
But Guan Suo was seen pushing away the hands of a group of women who were blocking him behind him, and said, "I will do it myself, I can handle it myself..."
As he spoke, he passed over the four women and stood only one step away from Meng Huo.
He once again met Meng Huo's eyes that looked like they could kill him, but he responded calmly, "Father-in-law, I have never eaten bear heart, leopard gallbladder, but I have swallowed deer penis, tiger penis, gecko, and seahorse." Quite a lot? Father-in-law, do you have any other advice?”
Just when Guan Suo finished his words...
"Dad..." Hua Wan couldn't help but exclaimed.
Because she saw her father's rough and powerful hand raised high, and she was about to slap her beloved man on the face.
Huawan wanted to stop it, but she never thought that it was already too late.
"Dad..."
There was another shout, but in the midst of Huawan's shout, Meng Huo's powerful hand did not slap Guan Suo's face, but instead pressed heavily on his shoulder.
The overwhelming force was suppressed, but it was thanks to Guan Suo's strong body that he could withstand it.
He even took the initiative to speak out, as if provoking.
"Father-in-law, do you have... any advice?"
Just when this sound came out, Meng Huo, who had a cold and tense expression on his face, suddenly relaxed.
"Haha...hahahaha..." He laughed, "What a physique, what a courage, hahaha, this makes him look like my barbarian son-in-law, ah, hahahahaha..."
Meng Huo immediately smiled so heartily that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.
The whole atmosphere here seemed to suddenly clear up and the dark clouds cleared up.
Then, Meng Huo ignored Guan Suo's status and put his arms around each other. As the two of them walked out, Meng Huo asked, "Don't you Han people have an idiom called 'son-in-law'?" , I mainly want to ask, does deer penis and tiger penis work? Did you just take six of them in one night? By the way, which kind of tiger penis did you swallow, or the one from Northeast China? of?"
this…
This involves a relatively professional issue, Guan Suo doesn’t know!
Having said that, who knows which tiger is clicking?
Of course, this topic was quickly dropped, because Meng Huo directly raised another brand-new topic.
"Son-in-law? We have hundreds of thousands of barbarian soldiers here. It would be a bit boring to go back in such a dejected state."
"That's what I thought. Uncle Liu Huang is fighting in the Bashan Mountains of Hanzhong. How about we go over there and take a look? We barbarians are all very good at fighting in the mountains! Ah, hahahaha!"
Ripe...
It seemed that just because Guan Suo slept with his daughter, Meng Huo immediately became familiar with Guan Suo.
…
…
In Chang'an City, Xiahou Dun was still worried about his eldest daughter-in-law's remarriage.
In fact, this is a troublesome thing. The eldest daughter-in-law, Princess Qinghe, is the daughter of the eldest brother Cao Cao. Cao Cao's daughter married the eldest son of the Xiahou family. This was a perfect match, but who would have thought that Xiahou's fate would not be good... Died in Wancheng.
Princess Qinghe is still young and has no heirs. She can't really let her be a widow in these great years, right?
But in this matter, if she really remarries, it will not only bring shame to the Xiahou family, but also the whole Cao Wei clan.
Xiahou Dun is blind, but his face is still there. He has always cared about other people's opinions in his life. He can be embarrassed by anything, but he can't lose face——
"Dad...I have a bold proposal!" After hearing the whole story, Xiahou Zijiang couldn't help but say, "My sister-in-law just doesn't want to be a widow. She doesn't really want to escape from our Xiahou family. In fact, she doesn't want to be a widow." There are many ways, for example...if father makes the decision, he might as well let the child replace my brother..."
When he said this, Xiahou Zijiang specifically raised his eyes to glance at his father Xiahou Dun's reaction.
Xiahou Dun seemed to have not yet reacted.
Xiahou Zijiang's voice continued, "What I mean is that instead of asking my sister-in-law to remarry, why not... I will comfort my sister-in-law, keep her obedient, and stay in the boudoir obediently, and never give me anything again." Dad is causing trouble! Adding trouble to our Xiahou family!"
At this time, Xiahou Dun came to his senses. He lifted up a bamboo slip with a "bang" sound, and then he heard the sound and threw it at Xiahou Zijiang. He also roared loudly: "You are a traitor, you are a traitor..."
Speaking of which, it’s really not the fault of Xiahou Zijiang and Wei Wu’s legacy...
There are many people who miss my sister-in-law, not just Xiahou Zijiang!
For a moment, there was a lot of excitement. Xiahou Dun wanted to beat his youngest son, but Li Miao quickly stopped him.
But at this moment, Xiahou Dun, who was unaware of the situation outside, suddenly heard a "clang", the door of the government office was pushed open, and a deputy general rushed in and shouted, "General, it's not good. , Oh no...a Han army has already captured Xiwu, and they took out the siege equipment in Xiwu...and are...attacking our Chang'an city!"
Xiahou Dun suddenly woke up and said, "Huh? An army? Who...whose army?"
"It's...it's Guan Yu's Guan Family Army. Although he has no beard, many of our veterans can recognize the leader. It's...it's Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang!"
Guan Yu, Guan Yunchang!
A person’s name is like a tree’s shadow!
Back then, Xiahou Dun could compete with Guan Yu at Sishui Pass, but now...he is blind, so he is no match for the beardless man!
Xiahou Dun pushed the table suddenly, "Why is Guan Yu here?"
At this time, new sentries came to report, "General, it's bad, Guan Yu led the Guan family army to attack the city -"
"Attack the city?" Xiahou Dun was shocked.
He didn't have time to think about why Guan Yu appeared here?
He now had to face a whole new problem.
"Where are the soldiers? Where are the soldiers? How many soldiers are there in Chang'an City?"
"Three thousand! No...excluding the 800 in Xiwu, there are only...only 2,200 soldiers defending the city. The rest have rushed to support the Hanzhong battlefield!" The second son Xiahou Zizang quickly replied, but after the words, it was already Trembling and towering…
"Then why are you still standing there? Go and order troops, go and order troops..."
Xiahou Dun roared loudly... he wanted to turn the table over. At this time, he really wished that one of his two pairs of eyes could see, so that he wouldn't have to order these two "incompetent" sons to do the last thing in Chang'an City. Hold on.
"Yes Yes…"
Xiahou Zizang and Xiahou Zijiang quickly agreed and ran out the door.
When Li Miao saw them running out of the official office, he also suggested, "Father...the two young masters are young and energetic. I'm worried that they are too impulsive..."
"Yes... I didn't think well!" Xiahou Dun also suddenly came to his senses, "Hannan, you go too, you go too... You tell them, just hold on to the city wall... Just hold on to the tower! And... , you ask Zijiang to lead his troops out of the city immediately...to ask for help in the direction of Anding, there...there are still soldiers and horses of our Wei Dynasty there!"
yes…
Even Xiahou Dun didn't know where Guan Yu and this Guan family army came from.
But if you think about it, you will know that they must be traveling lightly when traveling long distances, so... their siege equipment may not be sufficient, and their number of people may not be enough!
There are only some simple ladders in Xiwu. If we hold on for ten or eight days, there is still a chance to wait for reinforcements from Yongliang.
"Okay...I'll go right away, I'll go right away..."
Li Miao also quickly got up and went to the official office.
Hearing the increasingly rapid footsteps getting further and further away, Xiahou Dun said "Oh", he could no longer sit still. He ordered again, "Come here, come here, take me to the tower, take me to the tower - —”
…
The words are divided into two parts——
Li Miao hurried out of the official office and asked where the two young masters were, so he went to look for Xiahou Zijiang first.
Speaking of which, these two young masters are worthy of being from famous families. At this critical moment, they were able to analyze calmly. After talking to each other, they immediately made a decision. Xiahou Zizang would order troops to defend the city, and Xiahou Zijiang would lead them. More than ten personal guards quickly drove out from the north gate and asked for help in the direction of Yongliang Anding City.
From a distance, he could see that Xiahou Zijiang had prepared his horse, and not all of the more than ten personal guards had arrived. Counting him, they were now waiting anxiously in the school yard.
"Aren't you just going to lead the horse? Why are you so slow?"
Xiahou Zijiang muttered. At this time, he could no longer think about his sister-in-law.
Time was running out and it was imminent... He knew very well what it would mean to Chang'an City and the Wei Dynasty whether he could bring in reinforcements.
"Third Young Master——"
At this time... Li Miao also hurried over, accompanied by dozens of personal guards behind Li Miao.
You know, as the head of the school affairs office and a member of the Bafu, Li Miao also has personal soldiers, and his personal soldiers are also selected from among thousands.
"Brother Hannan?" Seeing Li Miao, Xiahou Zijiang hurriedly greeted him...
At this moment, the whole city of Chang'an was already trembling with noise, and there were the shouts of the people everywhere, and the figures of soldiers and coolies carrying weapons to the tower.
On the other hand, in this school grounds, apart from a lot of noise, not many people paid attention to it.
"Third Young Master..." Li Miao's hands clasped with Xiahou Zijiang's. He said urgently and with a solemn expression, "I heard that Third Young Master wants to ask for help from outside. I, Li Miao, don't know martial arts, so I can't help Third Young Master." Breaking through, but...the dozen or so personal guards behind me are all unique in their own right, and their martial arts are the best among the three armies... Let them help the Third Young Master for me!"
Hearing this, Xiahou Zijiang was moved.
"Okay... Then I'd like to thank Brother Hannan!"
After saying that, Xiahou Zijiang solemnly handed over his hands, along with his several personal guards.
Something unexpected happened when they surrendered.
"Whoosh——"
"Whoosh——"
"Whoosh——"
The crossbow machine hidden in the darkness suddenly triggered, followed by rows of crossbow bolts suddenly bursting out.
Ten shots from one crossbow, five crossbows in a row, almost overnight, more than a hundred crossbow arrows from three directions had all hit Xiahou Zijiang, turning him into a hedgehog.
The guards beside Li Miao moved very quickly. Just as Xiahou Zijiang and his guards were wailing after being hit by arrows, they suddenly stepped forward and covered their mouths one after another.
At this moment, the dying Xiahou Zijiang's pupils were round and huge. He didn't even care about the pain in his body, and looked at Li Miao incredulously, his eyes full of surprise and disbelief.
He even tried hard to clench his fists, but... he felt pain and weakness all over his body at the same time...
Suddenly, he no longer had any consciousness.
Painful, because his mouth was covered and his head was tightened, it was almost the most painful way to die——
Li Miao, who had witnessed all this, narrowed his eyes slightly and signaled his men to clean up the body.
Having said that, most of these personal guards were selected from the "parrot" dead soldiers. They were skilled in assassination and cleanup. Soon... all the blood stains in the school grounds were hidden.
It's like nothing happened here.
"There's one, and there's another one..."
Only then did Li Miao calmly open his mouth.
Yes, Xiahou Zijiang died. Next, in order to cooperate with Guan Yu's siege outside the city, he needed Xiahou Zang to also die violently. In this way... the Guan family's military could capture the city without any blood.
at this time…
"Where is the Third Young Master?" More than ten of Xiahou Zijiang's personal guards arrived late.
Li Miao did not panic at all and explained, "The situation is urgent. The Third Young Master can't wait for you anymore and has left the city first. He asked me to bring you a message and go up to the tower to help the Second Young Master defend the city!"
First, the current situation is like this...
The two of them, Li Miao, were Xiahou Dun's adopted sons and people with proven loyalty within the Wei Dynasty...
Therefore, these personal guards did not hesitate. After saluting Li Miao, they immediately turned around and rushed to the tower.
But, at the moment they turned around.
The crossbow machine hidden in the dark and ready to go is already aiming...
"Whoosh——"
"Whoosh——"
"Whoosh——"
Another round of crossbow arrows;
It was so cruel that he couldn't even moan or breathe until that moment;
Another...another round of cleanup of new corpses!
Li Miao and all his men were already familiar with this.
"Hurry up and hide these corpses. There are more important things we need to do -"
"promise--"
Accompanied by a low, thick, and neat shout.
The shura field of the god of death suddenly became busy again——
