"The whole army——" Under the night, a Xishu general rode his horse up the hillside. A piece of black cloth was still hanging on the general's arm armor.
"Attack Guxuguan! With my ambition as a Shu people, I will avenge the military advisor!"
After learning that Jia Zhou was "shot dead" by the Lingren, all the frontline battalions in Western Shu burst out with overwhelming anger. In their eyes, Jia Zhou's military advisor was like the pestle of Dinghai and the soul of Western Shu.
"Kill over! Attack Guxu Pass!"
With the death of Jia Zhou, many people in the south of the Yangtze River no longer care about Dongling. They actively help transport grain and grass and prepare luggage.
Dongfang lowered his head in admiration, with a sad expression on his face.
"Teacher, according to your plan, Dongling will be destroyed and Jiangnan will be safe."
…
Gu Xu closes it.
Zuo Shiren trembled in the night wind. When he learned that the Shu people were besieging Guxuguan, he immediately sent envoys to find out the reason.
But the envoy cried and reported back, saying that the people from Ling had shot Du E's military advisor, and now not only the armies of Western Shu, but also the people of the two states who had been beholden to Du E's benevolent government, began to surround him.
"I didn't shoot the poisonous osprey!" Zuo Shiren said in a painful tone. He knew very well the importance of the poisonous osprey in Western Shu. Such a person died on the border of Guxuguan. Anyone with a brain would think that it was Dongling who did it.
of.
But unfortunately, he did not have such an order.
"Send another envoy... No, I will leave the city myself -"
"My lord, Dongfang Jing of Xishu has already said that anyone from Dongling who dares to leave the city will be shot immediately."
Zuo Shiren froze in place for a long time before he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw.
"Where is the military advisor? Invite Ling Su quickly. My Qi De may be able to find a way."
"My lord, we just got the information. The Liang Wang's military advisor has already robbed various warships and sea vessels and escaped into the sea."
"Zide mistaken me!"
Zuo Shiren clutched his chest and staggered with anger. After retreating to Wuzhou, he complained about injustice every day, so much so that many political affairs were handed over to Ling Su. Now it seems that he was clearly inviting a wolf into the house.
From the young counselor Rong Lu to the general Kang Zhu, they all urged him to refuse the food king to enter Shu...
"Lord, the Shu people have begun to attack the city!"
Zuo Shiren gasped for air. Suddenly he realized that perhaps the death of the poisonous owl had been premeditated and became a sharp blade to attack Dongling.
But now, the entire Wuzhou, under the pressure of Western Shu, only has more than 10,000 people, and most of them have poor weapons and armor.
Zuo Shiren lowered his head silently, looking at his increasingly fat arms. At the beginning, when he used Lingzhou as his base camp and conquered Wuzhou and Chuzhou, he was so majestic. Many counselors and more than a hundred generals,
For this reason, he paid great attention to his appearance, keeping his hair on his temples neat and elegant, and his posture elegant and steady.
But now——
"My lord, there should be missing fishing boats on the coast. My lord, please leave quickly." The guard urged anxiously.
Zuo Shiren was trembling.
…
"Hold! Guard Guxu Pass!" As a general, Kang Shuo had no intention of surrendering. The previous incident with Li Ducheng and the incident with his brother Kang Zhu's war had left him with lingering doubts about Xi Shu.
of hatred.
"Fire the arrow——"
Kang Shuo roared angrily, raised his long sword, and pointed angrily at the bottom of Guxu Pass. Unfortunately, Guxu Pass, which was still under repair, and the sudden outburst of the Shu people's mournful soldiers, could not withstand it at all.
Under various disadvantages, when Xi Shu's infantry battalion approached the city wall——
Bang.
A feather arrow knocked the feather helmet Kang Shuo was wearing off his head.
Kang Shuo took a few steps back, but still couldn't stand firm.
Thump thump thump.
Another arrow pierced through his head. Kang Shuo held the knife, coughing blood and slowly fell to the ground.
Boom, boom boom.
Under the surprise attack, the city gate of Guxuguan was quickly knocked open by a car. Seeing this, countless Dongling soldiers did not dare to defend any longer. One or two, they all turned around and fled back.
.
"Enter the city!" A Xishu general rode on a horse and roared with his sword raised.
…
"Lord?"
Sitting alone on the throne, Zuo Shiren waved the sword in his hand and signaled the commander of the guards to leave. In front of him, his legitimate son and the queen's concubine had been stabbed to death by him and fell in a pool of blood.
"Lord, keep the green mountains in—"
"Where else can I go?" Zuo Shiren raised his head and started crying, "Just ask, where else can I go?"
The commander of the personal guards trembled and knelt down, not daring to answer.
"In this world, Western Shu and Northern Chongqing have come to fight, and it is not my turn to be in Dongling. The history books of the new dynasty will only say that I, Zuo Shiren, the left king of Dongling, was unvirtuous and died in Western Shu.
hand."
"My lord is the benevolent king of the world..."
Zuo Shiren raised his head and laughed, his voice sounding like tears. His red eyes had tears seeping from the corners of his eyes from time to time.
That year, there was no chaos in Daji. Although he was just a dispatch officer in Lingzhou, he already knew that chaos was coming.
He helped the Shanyue people and taught them how to grow rice and weave hemp. He went to court to help the people of Lingzhou lower their taxes, even at the expense of contradicting his superiors.
He will always remember that on the day when the troops gathered to start the uprising, countless people from Lingzhou and tens of thousands of people from the mountain camp gathered in front of him, shouting and applauding loudly.
At that time, there was no one in thirty states in the world who did not recognize Zuo Junzi's reputation.
"Twelve years of Hongtu's hegemony, my Zuo Shiren... my Zuo Shiren is unwilling to accept it."
Zuo Shiren raised his head again, his eyes dim with tears. He seemed to have returned to the palace in Wangdu, Lingzhou, with civil servants and military generals lined up on both sides, and there were many talented people.
"Admiral Kang Zhu, I am willing to follow my lord."
"Miao Tong, the right commander of the navy, is willing to follow my lord."
"Xia Houfu, the left commander of the navy, is willing to follow the lord!"
"Fei Fu, the Central Protector, is willing to follow the lord."
"Rong Lu joins the army in Chuzhou and is willing to follow his lord."
…
Zuo Shiren cried out, let out a long mournful cry, raised his sword to his neck, and without any hesitation, slashed hard.
"Send it to my lord."
The commander of the personal guards and a dozen guards nearby all knelt down, drew their swords, and died in a pool of blood.
After Guxu Pass, the beacon fire gradually dissipated. The army of Western Shu has entered Guancheng and wiped out the remaining deserters.
At the end of the night, the light of dawn shines through the clouds, and the whole land finally has a glimmer of light.
Sitting on the wooden wheel cart, Dongfang Jingru spent all his strength and leaned back, staring blankly at the sky. With only 10,000 remaining troops and horses, it would not be difficult for Xi Shu to attack.
The difficult thing is to appease the people of the two states of Chu and Ling. But now, his teacher has helped him pave the way. Paving a road for him to compete for hegemony.
"Destroy Beiyu!" Dongfang Jing choked his voice and looked cold.
…
There are still more than twenty miles away from the Lingzhou border.
Xu Mu, who was riding a horse, slowly stopped. In front of him, Fu, a puppy riding a horse, his eyes red from crying, with a mourning cloth wrapped around his head, came to report the funeral in person.
"Lord, lord, the teacher has gone——"
Xu Mu paused and then started crying.
"Wenlong!"
After crying a few times, Xu Mu shook his body and fell off his horse.
