I don't want to return

The [-]-strong army was waiting in formation, and when it was ready to go, another news floated into the imperial capital of Beiyu.

Xue Chenghua colluded with Mu Yuan, the former Prince Xuan of Yan, to commit a rebellious act!

There was an uproar in the court, but there was iron evidence for this matter: Do not drive Gao Wenjing in the former Yuzhou, and Song Zhixiao, the neighboring Xuzhou Mu, all presented impeachment memorials, saying that Xue Mu's army had already approached the city, and Xue Chenghua and Mu Yuan were obviously colluding. The fierce attack on Yuzhou, the local regime of the Yu Dynasty, has also spread to Xuzhou, and the people are dying.

Not only that, before Xue Chenghua attacked Yuzhou for no reason, he was captured alive by the Yuzhou defenders. Yuzhou Mu wanted to escort him back to the court, but two days later, Xue Chenghua was rescued by Mu Yuan's men who sneaked into the city.

Afterwards, he joined forces with Mu Yuan even more, and dared to merge the court soldiers into Mu Yuan's rebellious army.

With all these, Xue Chenghua's crime of treason is a certainty.

The last mainstay of the Daoyan faction will die.

Hearing this letter, Xue Jinghong felt another feeling in his heart.

He didn't expect that Chongyu would make up his mind to completely break with Mu Yuan in order to cooperate with his situation.He thought that with Chongyu's character, he would not be able to be so decisive.

He had already prepared to arrest Xue Chenghua for the crime of "the great drought in the east of the Yangtze River blinded the saints and abused the people". not give a damn about.

As long as the Daoyan faction is not eliminated, he will not be able to alleviate the deep guilt in his heart.

But since Chongyu had already done this for him, he couldn't live up to Chongyu's kindness.

In the early morning of this day, Xue Jinghong came to the battlefield in person, ordered soldiers and generals, and sent another [-] soldiers and horses to join the [-] army as one, ready to go.At noon that day, all the military pay and horses were ready, and this huge army marched from Beiyu to the south.

Xue Jinghong went with the army and personally led the troops into battle.

He is already very familiar with this road, and it reappears in his memory every moment.

A year ago, it was from this road that he parted ways with Chongyu in the morning sunshine.

It has been a year, and he is so surprised that he can still bear a whole year of separation.How unbelievable.

I don't know if Chongyu misses him too much.

Xue Jinghong smiled wryly, and there was some anticipation, apprehension and restlessness in his smile.

Thinking that Chongyu is now fighting in the flames of war, he couldn't fly to his side immediately!

In just three days, the [-]-strong army galloped for [-] miles, and the march was extremely fast.But even so, Xue Jinghong thought the speed was too slow.

But in Yuzhou at that time, the flames of war had turned into monstrous flames, rushing straight into the sky.

Zou Chun had been on standby in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, and as soon as he received Mu Chongyu's distress letter, he immediately reorganized the army and headed to Yuzhou.In two and a half days, I arrived in a hurry.

At that time, Shen Qing, Chen Kangsi and the others were struggling, and Zou Chun's arrival was like timely rain, immediately alleviating the disadvantage of the battle situation.

It's just a pity that Zou Chun brought all light cavalry because of his speed, and there were only [-] men and horses. He was rescued for a while, but he couldn't turn the outcome of the battle.

In any case, you can't win this battle by sticking to the city gate and being a turtle.

The war has progressed to this point, and it has been deadlocked for half a month.

In a siege battle, the most feared thing is the word "drag".Yuzhou is the granary of the world, and the food and military pay are so rich that they are fat and oily. As long as they are determined to defend the army, it will not be a problem to hold on for less than three months.

But the situation of Xue Chenghua and Mu Yuan is quite different.Both sides traveled long distances, marched and fought, no matter how abundant food and grass were prepared, there was always a limit. Before Xue Chenghua's camp was attacked and set ablaze by Mu Chongyu at night, there was not much food and grass left.

At this time, the most fearful thing is that the war is not over, ammunition and food are exhausted, and the morale of the army is fluctuating.

Since they couldn't delay, Mu Yuan and Xue Chenghua decided to make a final fight: lure the enemy out of the city.

The gate of Yuzhou City is tens of feet high, and it is as solid as a copper wall and an iron wall, so it is really difficult to capture.They have been besieging for several days, but they have not seen the slightest effect. Instead, they have lost troops and generals.

So, I had to think of another way.

Both Mu Yuan and Xue Chenghua were cruel and merciless, seeing that the city gate could not be attacked for a long time, they came up with a vicious method.

Before the war broke out, although the patrol officials in Yuzhou had announced to the whole city to let the common people hide in the city to avoid the war, but the city was limited in size and could not accommodate all the people.Therefore, there are still tens of thousands of farmers who have never entered the city, but are dependent on the farmland outside the city.

In one day, Xue Chenghua's officers arrested thousands of peasant households in a radius of a hundred miles outside the city, and tied them outside the camp, right under the eyes of the guards at the city gate.

And sent someone to send a message to Mu Chongyu: "If the rebels do not leave the city gate for a day, I will set fire to all the fields of the Yan people, so that you will have no more food to eat. Then kill all the people outside the city, so that you will lose your trust in the people."

When the word came, Xue Chenghua was relentless, raised a bunch of torches and threw them into the farmland.

The wheat ears, beans, and sorghum are full and pleasing to grow in the farmland.It's a pity that in an instant, everything was burned, and the billowing smoke covered the blue sky above the head.

Mu Chongyu was trembling with anger.What he has always hated the most is that the people of Beiyu never understand the preciousness of the land.People in Beiyu come up and walk on horseback, prey by nature, and never know the hardships of intensive farming.

Now, he dared to burn the farmland!

Mu Chongyu held back his anger, Shen Qing, Chen Kangsi, Zou Chun and everyone else held back their anger and warned themselves not to fall into the trap.But at noon on the second day, Xue Chenghua really did what he said, not only burned the farmland, but also massacred thousands of captured farmers to death in broad daylight, but he couldn't bear it anymore.

As the king of a country, as an iron-blooded general, if you can't keep your own people, what's the use?

Mu Chongyu went out of the city to fight.

The troops of Xue Chenghua and Mu Yuan had already stood on the other side of the moat in full formation.It was so dark that it made people feel cold when they looked at it.

Mu Chongyu raised his head and saw Xue Chenghua's provocative eyes, and then turned his eyes to see Mu Yuan beside him.

After not seeing each other for a year, Mu Yuan was in a trance and became more indifferent than before. Seeing the blood of the people of Nanyan flowing across the ground, his expression never wavered.

That being the case, Mu Chongyu has nothing to escape from.He raised his sword soaring to the sky, and swung his whip to kill on the other side.

This battle was fought in a dark way.Mu Chongyu no longer remembered where he was, who he was fighting with, and felt the deep pain in his heart spread like an ocean in a trance.

Time seemed to bring him back a few years ago, the last battle where the capital city of Nanyan fell.

He tried his best to use up the last trace of weakness in his heart, waving, fighting, and fighting like a walking corpse, until the sword in his hand fell to the ground, until his hands were tied behind his back.

This time, he couldn't throw away his sharp sword anyway.

The morning breeze was gradually dissipated by the scorching sun, the scorching sun was in the sky at noon, and in the evening when the sun set, the golden setting sun intertwined with the blood that permeated the ground, making it inseparable.

The soldiers were exhausted, but no one wanted to retreat, and no one was the first to wave the flag of truce.

This is the last battle, and everyone knows it.

With a sound of "swish", a cold arrow struck, and it seemed that it was about to shoot in Mu Chongyu's direction.

Mu Chongyu heard the sound of the arrow piercing through the air.It's a pity that in front of him is an eyeing enemy, and he has no strength to turn around and block.

Shen Qing also saw it, but he was too far away, he could only fight with all his strength, and a roar broke out from his mouth: "Your Majesty, be careful!"

Mu Chongyu still didn't turn around.
