Zhang Shun died, and the entire Yuncheng seemed to have lost its struggle. More and more surrendered soldiers abandoned their weapons and fell to their knees, begging for life.
Of course, among them, there was also a group of people who could not escape from the city gate and kept running rampant like madmen.
"The traitor Wei Diao, who dares to bully and kill his colleagues, will be punished to no end of the world!"
Countless voices slowly came from all around.
With only one arm, Wei Diao raised his hand to hold the sword, but he was shaking extremely, and his face was full of panic.
"What are you waiting for? Protect this helmsman!"
The last two to three hundred knights galloped forward on horseback. Halfway through, some knights shouted in grief and took off their robes and armor, revealing a white suit.
"Don't wear white clothes!" Wei Diao looked up and shouted as if he was crazy.
No one paid attention to him, and the heroes who were going to die seemed to be deaf, and they threw themselves into the encirclement and suppression of the Shu army in white clothes.
Xu Mu watched silently.
Not long after, Wei Diao's two to three hundred Xia'er army were completely killed or wounded.
"There is no chivalrous person in the world! What kind of righteousness is there? These are troubled times! Open your eyes, these are troubled times! Etiquette and law have collapsed, morality and justice are in vain. If you have no power and power, you will be like a lost dog!"
Wei Diao's face turned red and he looked like a madman, pointing at the surrounding Shu army.
"I'm not wrong! Li Zhiqiu is nothing. He wants peace in the world and clarity in the world! If you can't fight for it, you can't fight for anything!"
"There are so many people in the world, but those corrupt officials won't save them, so why do heroes like me do it? Is this fair? Is it fair?"
"Common thief, you are just trying to gain fame, do you think you care about the common people in the world? It's ridiculous, you are just doing it for your own selfish desires!"
Bang.
Si Hu, who was eating steamed buns nearby, didn't want to take action at first. Suddenly, when he heard his brother Mu being scolded, he rushed out and knocked Wei Diao away.
Perhaps still feeling angry, and remembering the misery of his old friend Xiao Xiaoyao, Si Hu caught up with him in a few steps, stepped on Wei Diao's leg, and crushed him again, making the sound of broken bones, "ka ka".
"Common thief, you are just hypocritical, you can't win the world! One day, the people of Shu will be massacred, and the Xu family's army will be wiped out!" Wei Diao shouted in pain.
Si Hu, who originally stopped moving and was about to walk back, heard this sentence, his eyes bulged again, he raised his hand heavily, and slapped Wei Diao on the head.
Wei Diao was coughing up bloody foam, lying on the ground like a dead dog. His mouth was still buzzing, but unfortunately, no one could hear what he was saying clearly.
"Si Hu, owl leader." Xu Mu said coldly. He originally thought about taking Wei Diao back to Shuzhou and letting Xiao Xiaoyao do it himself.
But now, Wei Diao has gone crazy and looks like an old dog lying in a coffin.
With a cold face, Si Hu took off the giant axe, swung it twice, and chopped downwards.
A muffled scream rang out in the sky above Yuncheng.
"Lord, what should we do with those surrendered soldiers?"
After capturing Yuncheng, the remaining soldiers, excluding the civilians, numbered about 8,000.
"Imprisoned in one place, I will be sent back to Nanlin County in Shuzhou when I can to work as a coolie in land reclamation."
Xu Mu always felt uneasy about the newly surrendered army. They would eventually be sent to Shuzhou, tempered, reactivated, and dispersed to various camps. Of course, if it were an emergency during the war, that would be another story.
Turning his back to the sky, Xu Mu exhaled a breath. Although it took a lot of time, fortunately, the last barrier in Muyun State was finally broken.
"Dou Tong, I order you to lead 7,000 men and horses in a southwesterly direction and capture along the way. You will be outside and you can decide the war on your own."
"Dou Tong takes the order!" Dou Tong solemnly clasped his fists.
"Ma Yi, you also lead 6,000 troops, follow the southeast direction, and capture along the way."
Ma Yi was startled, his face became overjoyed, and he knelt down to accept the order.
"Ma Yi, I will remember that you were the first to attack Yuncheng this time. After that, you were promoted to a general and given the title... Yuncheng, and you were called General Yuncheng."
"Thank you so much, lord!" Ma Yi's eyes turned red.
"Old Ma, why are you crying? When I was named the Invincible General, ask Brother Mu how calm I am."
"Brother Hu, that one of yours is fake."
Si Hu was startled and looked at Xu Mu. His bulging bull's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Mu, Brother Mu, is what Lao Ma said true?"
Xu Mu rubbed his forehead, "Of course it's not true. The invincible general in the world is yours alone. No one else can get it if they want to. Ma Yi, if you continue to be so careless, will I take General Yuncheng back?"
Ma Yi hurriedly wiped away his tears, ordered his troops and horses, and hurried forward.
"The rest of us are setting up defenses in Yucheng on the border of Muyun State, and be careful of the Cangzhou army."
Not listening to Si Hu's endless questioning, Xu Mu raised his head and looked silently in the direction of Cangzhou. In this round, the main force of Yuncheng was wiped out, and the dust was almost settled.
…
"Queen, did the civilian thieves capture Yuncheng?" Yuan An said tremblingly in the small palace in Cangzhou.
Su Waner smiled calmly and nodded, "The information sent back from the Cangzhou border is indeed true. Zhang Shun and Captain Wei both died in the battle. In addition, all the reinforcements sent by the noble families also died in the battle."
"Queen, this is a big disaster for me in Cangzhou!"
Su Waner stood up and hugged Yuan An into her arms. She could not help but feel disgust on her face when she noticed Yuan An was shivering.
"Your Majesty, don't be afraid. I have already set up a defense line. The common thieves cannot penetrate Cangzhou."
"Queen, how many troops do we still have in Cangzhou?"
"Don't ask anymore, Your Majesty, don't ask anymore." Su Waner's laughter was like a silver bell, and she slowly let go of her holding hands, "By the way, I just remembered that the Internal Affairs Workshop has recently selected some stunning exotic girls.
Woman, if your Majesty has time, you might as well go and have a look."
Yuan An's body was still shaking, "Queen, how can I still have such leisurely thoughts?"
"Your Majesty must spread the branches and leaves. In this way, our Great Ji Dynasty can survive for thousands of years. As for state affairs, with my concubines here, everything will be fine."
Yuan An raised his head and wanted to ask again, but found that his beautiful and fragrant queen had already sat on the chair again, reading the memorial.
He didn't know what to say, so he stood for a while, stepped forward with difficulty, and walked out of the imperial study room wearing a somewhat ill-fitting dragon robe.
A servant turned on the lamp and closed the door again.
Su Waner stopped writing, lowered her head, looked at her slightly bulging belly, and fell into deep thought.
…
"Cough, cough, cough -"
Zuo Shiren, who was eating fish on the boat, heard the news about Mu Yunzhou. He probably had a fish bone stuck on him, and he coughed so much that he almost ran away.
After drinking two cups of tea in succession, Zuo Shiren's complexion recovered slightly.
"You mean, Xu Buyi captured Yuncheng? The army is going to capture the entire Muyun Prefecture?"
"Lord, it is indeed so."
"Sun, sun... the sun is so nice." Zuo Shiren struggled to say something, and the hand holding the chopsticks was vaguely covered with veins.
Losing interest in eating fish, Zuo Shiren stood up coldly.
"Xu Buyi is going to capture the entire Muyun Prefecture. How many reinforcements have been sent to Cangzhou?"
"This time... there seems to be no reinforcements. On the border between Cangzhou and Muyunzhou, both sides have begun to deploy troops, probably for mutual defense."
"What! The sun...the sun is very good, and the wind is very comfortable." Zuo Shiren's face looked extremely angry, "Did Empress Su transfer troops to the river bank in Cangzhou?"
"My lord, there seems to be another army in Cangzhou. However, Demon Empress Su has completely locked up Cangzhou, and we can't find out yet."
"In addition, almost all the Cangzhou aristocratic families died in this four-state battle."
Zuo Shiren thought for a while, then turned around with a ferocious face.
"How many people are borrowing swords in this battle? I, Zuo Shiren, am like a cattle butcher on the street. I help slaughter a cow and I don't even get a piece of meat!"
"The sun...the sun is beautiful and the wind is peaceful!"
