Chapter 229 Rockets, thousands of arrows fired together
He originally disapproved of the movement of troops from ancient Xiangyang to Xiangyang, but was forced to follow Zhang De to force Xu Shu to mobilize troops, which resulted in the destruction of the corridor and trapped him in ancient Xiangyang.
It was extremely shameful and humiliating to ask the butcher to surrender, but for the sake of the soldiers and people of Gu Xiangyang, Han Song endured it.
A famous man of a generation, running between the Sichuan army archers and the people of Xiangyang, regardless of his image, Han Song could bear it.
In the end, he was arrogantly rejected by Liu Zhang. Han Song felt that his patience had reached the bottom line, but he still endured it.
But then I realized that although I was a famous person, I couldn't do anything to anyone around me. Not Liu Biao, not Li Yan, who surrendered shamelessly, not even the butcher Liu Zhang. I could only endure.
I have endured humiliation my whole life.
"Just let yourself go back to ancient Xiangyang and die, and it will be over."
It's okay to be aloof, but there is a price to be truly aloof. Once again, he endured the disdain for surrendering to Li Yan. Han Song's heart also died. He always wanted to be a blank piece of paper, but found that it was already stained with ink.
At this time, he saw a Sichuan soldier opening a water bag and drinking water under the sun. Han Song, who had not drank water for several days, had dry lips and throat. He couldn't help but glance at it longingly, and then immediately became proud again.
Liu Zhang saw this, smiled, looked at Hao Sheng, who looked at Liu Zhang with aggrievedness, took out the half-drinked water bag, and threw it to Han Song.
Han Song took the water bag and wanted to throw it on the ground to show his determination, but when he took it and heard the sound of clear water surging in the water bag, he finally refused. This bag of water, the people in ancient Xiangyang
, appeared in the dazed dreams of many people, but when they woke up, they could only look at the smelly, yellow sewage with a peculiar smell.
After taking a small sip of water, all kinds of bitterness came to my throat.
The water is so sweet, but with a sip of water and a sip of humiliation, the halo of celebrity peels off and becomes further and further away from oneself.
"De Gao, surrender." Li Yan looked at Han Song who had just put the water bag to his lips: "Although we are from a distinguished family, as long as we are sincerely loyal, we will still be reused in the Sichuan camp. You were forced to become an official by Liu Biao
Yes, are you really willing to die for him?"
Han Song hesitated for a moment and spilled some water from the water bag on his chest.
"Mr. Han, in the name of the Lord of the Two Sichuan Rivers, I assure you that what Zhengfang said is true. As long as you support the land order and the price limit order for the four civil servants, I, Liu Zhang, will treat everyone equally regardless of the common people or the family."
Although Liu Zhang doesn't like people who pretend to be aloof, people who pretend to be aloof are always trying to stick to their own bottom line, and it's not easy for them.
The sun was scorching. Han Song took off the water bag. He hadn't taken a shower for a long time. He wiped the water from his chest with his fingers and touched his lips.
"Thank you for your kindness, uncle. Since Zhengfang is staying here, someone must go back and recover."
For the first time, Han Song did not act like a celebrity. After experiencing countless humiliations, Han Song realized that he could no longer be called a celebrity and was about to die, so why bother pretending anymore.
However, Han Song decided to pretend for the last time.
Han Song returned to the city with a few followers and walked among the corpses burned by the scorching sun. The corpses were piled up in piles. The blood solidified on the ground in a short time, leaving a purple stain and a thick lethargy.
The sultry smell of blood covers the human body.
Han Song took the wine pot and entered the hellish ancient Xiangyang again. The soldiers who followed him breathed the fresh air, and looked at this nightmare existence again. Their nerves were on the verge of collapse. One soldier fainted directly to the ground, and several other soldiers
Suddenly he ran towards the rear.
"They are obviously not sick, please let them come over?" Zhang Ren asked.
Liu Zhang looked at Han Song who was walking forward silently, and coldly uttered one word: "Kill."
"Whizzing……"
Several soldiers were shot to the ground on the spot.
Han Song didn't even look back and walked straight to the city gate.
In the spacious cellar, all the Jingzhou generals were dying. Xu Shu also felt faint and his whole body was weak. But when they saw Han Song coming back, the generals rushed over together.
"how is it going?"
"Did Liu Zhang agree to surrender?"
"What conditions."
"Will the Sichuan army kill us? Have you found out Liu Zhang's attitude?"
The generals were all talking. At this time, they realized that they were so eager to surrender, for fear that the Sichuan army would not accept the surrender, but when they saw Han Song's expression, they were desperate.
Zhang De suddenly collapsed to the ground, his fat body making a "bang" sound.
Han Song shook his head, walked to Xu Shu silently, and handed the water bag to Xu Shu: "Sir, I'm sorry, Liu Zhang is extremely arrogant and refuses to surrender, so I only brought back this bag of water."
"Clear water?" Xu Shu took the water bag and took a look at it. He laughed lightly, and a tear fell down first. He was entrusted by his mentor, but he faced such a disastrous defeat. No matter how thirsty his throat was, he could not drink a drop of water.
"Clear water?"
Xu Shu was indifferent, but the other generals' eyes widened when they heard these two words. Just a second later, they all rushed forward. Zhang De was the closest, and he jumped up with his fat and agile body and grabbed the water in Xu Shu's hand.
He opened the bag and was about to drink water, but suddenly a hand appeared and grabbed the water.
"Li Yi, you captain, what are you doing? Are you rebelling?"
Zhang De was furious and rushed to grab it regardless of his dignity. The other generals also rushed forward and fought for each other. They did not hesitate to fight. At this moment, for this bag of water, these people whose nerves had collapsed and despair lost any dignity.
Without any etiquette, the demeanor of civil servants and military officers who always paid attention to their manners was gone.
Xu Shu looked at the group of generals looting and couldn't help but laugh miserably, "Oh my God, what kind of evil did I, Xu Shu, do to end up in this situation?"
Xu Shu spat out a mouthful of blood and his body was shaking. Han Song hurriedly stepped forward to help him. Xu Shu smiled bitterly and pulled out the sword from his waist.
"Sir, no." Han Song shouted.
"puff."
Xu Shu pierced his stomach with his sword, and he stumbled to the ground. The ground supported the tip of the sword, and a large piece of the bloody blade was drawn out. Han Song pounced on him. He used to look down on Xu Shu's compromise, but it wasn't until he met Liu Zhang that he
I knew that Xu Shu was truly a wise man, but everything I touched was the blood of this wise man.
"Report... report." A soldier came in and was stunned for a moment when he saw such a scene.
"What's the matter?" Han Song said loudly. No one had come to report for a long time, because there was no military information at all. Han Song looked at the soldier carefully and was suddenly stunned: "Heizi, why are you back?"
Heizi is Xu Shu's bodyguard. He was sent out last night to break through the mountains and forests to the south at night.
"We came back to accompany Mr. Liu Biao. Liu Biao was cruel and cruel. This morning, I heard that Mr. wanted to send people to surrender to Liu Zhang. He killed more than a dozen members of his family. The elders and the mother were all killed. They also exposed the bodies on the city wall.
They said they were asking the soldiers to defend the city, but we couldn't stand it, so we all came back to persuade you to surrender... and you came back to die with your husband."
When Heizi saw Xu Shu's blood all over his body, he changed his mind temporarily.
"What?" Han Song was shocked. This was so unlike Liu Biao. Was this Cai Mao's idea, or was Liu Biao driven into a desperate situation and going crazy?
Xu Shu's eyes widened, all his strength burst out, he stared at Heizi and said, "What did you say? Say it again? Didn't Mr. Sima persuade me?"
"Sima Hui was nearby at the time and didn't say a word."
Xu Shu looked at Heizi blankly. Suddenly, Xu Shu laughed "haha" and understood. At this moment, Xu Shu understood everything.
For a successful big family, the head of the family needs to play a big chess game with many chess pieces, and unfortunately, he has become a chess piece of the Sima family.
Ten years ago, Sima Hui saw his talent and passion for reading, and devoted himself to cultivating himself, just waiting to use him one day, and he lived up to his expectations and became a good chess piece.
But now, his chess piece is finally useless, so he has become an abandoned piece.
"No matter whether your husband can defend the city or not, he will protect your family's lives."
What he said a few days ago sounded so ridiculous now. Sima Hui just wanted to do his best to defend the city, but he naively believed it.
"I, Xu Shu, am so naive. I have been naive all my life. I still think I am a celebrity. It's ridiculous. It's really ridiculous. It's downright ridiculous. Hahahahaha."
Xu Shu laughed three times and spurted out a mouthful of blood. His body fell limply on Han Song's hands, his eyes widened, and there was no breath anymore. A generation of famous people perished.
Little bits of blood splashed on Han Song's face. Seeing the generals still grabbing the water bags and spilling water all over the floor, Han Song felt sad. He gently put down Xu Shu's body and pulled out a dagger.
If, when I was in the mountains, under the pressure of Liu Biao, I had maintained the integrity of a celebrity and did not become an official, would I have been a real celebrity?
"Become a celebrity again in your next life, a true celebrity."
Han Song forcefully slit his throat and committed suicide.
Xu Shu and Han Song fell in a pool of blood. Heizi and several soldiers who came back together saw this scene and without hesitation, they drew their swords and committed suicide at the same time. The cellar was filled with blood.
In the huge cellar, only a group of generals were left grabbing water bags.
…………
Xu Shu and Han Song committed suicide, Li Yan surrendered to the enemy, and Zhang De, who had a big belly, was squeezed to death while trying to grab a water bag, leaving ancient Xiangyang in a haze.
Ten days later, there was no breath of life in the city anymore. There were more than 30,000 troops and 30,000 refugees who fled into the city to avoid the war. Due to the lack of water and the erosion of the plague, corpses were placed in every corner of the city.
Even those who have survived are still struggling to breathe their last breath, with numb eyes open, quietly waiting for death to come.
Ancient Xiangyang has completely turned into a city of death, and the ancient blue bricks exude the smell of death in the sun.
Sichuan soldiers, all wrapped up with gauze over their eyes, marched into the city in batches, spreading firewood and tung oil in their arms on the streets of the city, in front of the gates of residences, and under the tarps of wine shops.
Rockets, thousands of arrows fired. (To be continued.)
