For a moment, Xin Chang felt like a big joke.

"Take refuge with Fu Shi?" He said it silently in his heart, really didn't know what to say, whether to cry or laugh.He suddenly remembered Xin Xianying's meaningful sentence "Remember to read the kit" in the study. At that time, she was so indifferent to the city, was it because she had already guessed something?

However, the battlefield didn't give him a chance to think too much, just when Xin Chang's heart sank to the bottom of his stomach, a hidden arrow from somewhere rushed towards Zhou Zhuo and the soldier with a "chuckle".

His unsteady heart suddenly "thumped", turned around without hesitation, and ran away.

Almost in the next second, a soldier shouted vigilantly from the side door:

"who?!"

"..."

Xin Chang didn't know what expression he had now, he just ran with his head down.

Zhou Zhuo's stern voice was forgotten by him, he rushed into the bustling county soldiers in a panic, and walked two steps along the flow of people, the sound suddenly rang in his ears, and the collision of various weapons The sound mixed with the conversations of the soldiers poured into his ears like a tide, as if he had returned to the world.

Xin Chang paused, and raised his head as if waking up from a dream. After a while, he realized amidst the shouts that these soldiers were going out of the city to fight.

The county magistrate Liu Fan was from a poor family, and his wealth was not as good as that of a wealthy family, and he was unable to support too many tribes to serve as county soldiers. Therefore, only the strong men of Changge were pushed out of the city gate except for the original county soldiers.

...In the barely peaceful situation of the past few years, these people barely managed to survive by farming the fields donated by the powerful.

Xin Chang vaguely remembered that in the late winter of last year, he and Xin Xianying were visiting relatives and returning to the city, but their carriage was robbed on the way, and they returned to Changge in the ox cart of a passer-by.

This incident was insignificant to him, and it should have been tucked away in the corner of his memory forever, but at such a moment, it surged in his mind like a bank burst.

Among the passing stream-like crowd, there may have been a kind-hearted person who met a pair of young siblings on a winter evening, and couldn't bear them to wander outside the city in the midwinter night, so he carried them back to the city.Thanks to him, Xin Chang was able to spend the night on the warm bed like in previous years.

But in such a war-torn age, where is the destination of those people?Did he know that he was on the road to death?Or is it that his bones have already been buried underground by his comrades?

Xin Chang stopped slowly, his expression changed a few times, and finally stayed in a trance.

If this continues, he doesn't even have to think about what the outcome will be.

Qin Chu's Xuanjia army was strong and strong, and it was not something the scattered county soldiers in Changge City could resist.Relying on the initial solid wall to clear the wilderness, they can only hold off for a hundred or so days at most. If they continue to endure, the food and grass in the city will inevitably bottom out-this is still the case when the city is working together.

However, Zhou Zhuo, the county lieutenant, has defected to the enemy. The soldiers suffered a surprise attack last night, and their hearts are already five or six points intimidated... In such a situation, unless Kong Ni's reinforcements rush to repel the enemy immediately, the city will surely be destroyed.

Even if he is really that stubborn, he doesn't want his resistance to become a joke, and insists on going against Xin Xianying's suggestion, but according to the current situation, is he going to pin all his hopes on the fluffy four words "reinforcement arrived" ?

He closed his eyes slightly, and his mind flicked through the various decisions Xin Xianying had made in his own name.Finally, the white cloth with the words "Take refuge in Fu Shi" was silently unfolded in front of him.

Since he was a child, Xin Chang heard his father comment on him and his elder sister, saying that Xin Xianying was "smart and talented, very rare", and he also commented that he was "reliable and conservative, but lacks righteousness", but what is righteousness?

Qin Chu's expedition for the orthodox dynasty is "Dayi", that is because she has the power to choose - but can Changge's county soldiers choose?Liu Fan chose Yuan Shu for them, could they resist?

For the ordinary people whose lives are on the tip of a knife, "loyalty and integrity" is a luxury, and it is a blessing to be able to save their lives.

Xin Chang let out a foul breath, grabbed a fast-moving elder with his backhand, and said expressionlessly:

"The county lieutenant ordered the city gate to be opened."

Na Shichang was blocked by him, and he was taken aback for a moment: "...What did you say?"

"Open the city gate." He stared at the soldiers without moving, and said calmly.

……

Just when Mr. Taiyong calmly asked the soldiers inside the city gate to "open the door to meet the enemy", some people outside the city gate were also flustered.

"Lord!"

Qin Chu's expression moved slightly, and he tore his eyes away from the closed city gate. When he turned around, he saw the scout's war horse raised its front hooves and neighed, barely stopping in front of her.

The scout didn't even have time to get off his horse and salute, panting: "Front, ahead... an army of ten thousand people has arrived, and the word 'Kong' is written on the flag—"

Qin Chu's pupils shrank, and he said in a low voice, "Kong Ni."

The moment her words fell to the ground, the heavy gate of Changge City made a muffled and stagnant sound from the inside out.

Her breathing was stagnant, and she subconsciously raised her eyes to look at the city tower, and saw a thin young man in a scholar's robe standing on the tower from a distance, with his sleeves and hands folded, as if he was looking down.

It's just that the distance is too far to see the man's expression clearly.

Qin Chu looked away, and from the corner of his eye, he saw that the city gate was wide open, and the flag standing on the tower fell down, like some kind of signal.

In the blink of an eye, the word "surrender" flashed through her mind.

Qin Chu whipped his horse decisively, and under the watchful eyes of the scouts, he led the Zhaoye Jade Lion and rushed into the crowd without blinking.

Now that Xin Chang has already surrendered, they must move even faster. They must not wait until Kong Ni's army arrives—although Xin Chang is immature, he is not an idiot. If he knows that reinforcements are coming, he will definitely do something. Response, then everything will be in vain.

All kinds of considerations flashed through her mind quickly, and she raised her eyes to look at the tower calmly.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

The scout reported the news, but didn't hear her order for a long time. Seeing her white horse leading the people out, he was taken aback for a moment, hesitated for a while, finally closed his eyes, and followed the horse forward .

But before the scouts found her in the crowd, they heard Qin Chu's clear voice from the center of the army formation:

"—The enemy has surrendered!"

The word "has surrendered" sounded like thunder on the ground, and even the Changge County soldiers who were crowded in front of the city gate and didn't pay attention to the movement behind them stopped moving.

Fortunately, Xin Chang was always paying attention to what was going on in the city.Seeing that Qin Chu had already opened his mouth, his heart skipped a beat, and he turned his head to ask the soldiers to pass on a message, but he saw Zhou Zhuo standing behind him in a daze.

County Captain Zhou probably had just handed over to Qin Chu's soldiers, and hurried back, beads of sweat slid from his forehead, then slid down his cheeks, and hit the dusty ground of the tower.

Zhou Zhuo: "...what?"

Unknowingly, a bit of almost cruel and vengeful pleasure emerged in Xin Chang's heart.

He tried his best to suppress the sneer at the corner of his mouth, and looked at Zhou Zhuo pretending to be indifferent: "Surrender. Changge now belongs to Fuyiren—isn't Captain Zhou also waiting for this moment?"

He didn't deliberately lower his voice, so his words seemed to open some valve, and the expressions of the surrounding county soldiers changed in an instant.

No one wants to rush to the front to fight unless they have to.

The morale that had already been reduced by [-]%, the second he gave the correct answer, was like a burnt flame, extinguished with a "flutter", without even bringing up a little ashes.

"The general, please enter the city." Xin Chang said indifferently.

Zhou Zhuo let out an "ah" and took a step back stupidly, just in time to make way for the soldier who sent the message.

Immediately afterwards, the Changge County soldiers with scattered equipment in front of the city gate receded like a tide, and opened a way for the dark Jincheng Army to enter the city as if welcoming them.

The soldiers did not move.

Qin Chu glanced at the soldiers who were in order, and finally smiled the first time after the night attack.It's just that the smile with a bit of joy was fleeting, and was soon covered up by the indifference of the "coach".

She raised her chin slightly, looked at the silent soldiers almost indifferently, nodded to them, and shouted:

"Take a rest in the city—"

The county soldiers retreated again, the chief general Lu Bu stepped forward, and the Xuanjia soldiers filed in.

Qin Chu reined in his horse and stood outside the city, watching the soldiers enter the city one by one, secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and finally let go of the hand that was holding the reins.

She glanced at the red-stained palm, turned her head without changing her expression, and beckoned at the scout. Seeing him approaching, she whispered, "How far is Kong Ni from here?"

The scout said without hesitation: "It's about sixty miles away, and it's still a vanguard army. The army with its luggage may have to travel eighty or ninety miles away."

Ordinary infantry can travel about fifty miles a day, and even if they plan for the worst, there is still a whole day before the arrival of Kong Ni's army.

Fortunately, there were many trees in Yingchuan, and the scout's detection range was large enough to let her know the news in advance.

Qin Chu's complexion became visibly brighter again, and she smiled at the scouts: "It's hard work."

The scout didn't even dare to say anything, but honestly lowered his head, and said embarrassingly:

"It is also thanks to General Xu who reminded the general to pay attention to the southeast. He said that the terrain in the southeast of Changge is flat and unobstructed, and it is inconvenient for the army to march to cover it. Kong Ni probably wants to go this way, so I walked an extra five miles and saw the enemy. military."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, and was about to turn his head to look at the camp where Xu Shu was, but saw a black horse galloping over the dust, and was taken aback for a moment.

He hadn't fixed his eyes on the person who came before, when he heard Qin Chu say "Hey" with a confused expression on his face, as if he murmured, "How do you say that Cao... is here?"

"Ah? What Cao Cao?"

The black horse rushed to a stop in front of the two of them, and the man fell off the horse in disgrace, choked on the dust, lowered his head and coughed twice, bowed his hands to Qin Chu, and muttered A few words "why so much gray".

Even so, he didn't delay the movement of his hand at all. He reached into his bosom to touch, and found a letter in a blink of an eye.

The letter was stuffed into his bosom and then pulled out again, its appearance was still a little wrinkled, but its appearance was still out of place - there was even a vague fragrance lingering on it.

Xu Shu frowned, showing an expression of wanting to sneeze, tilted his head back, and reached out to touch his nose in embarrassment. Just as he was about to say something, someone snatched the letter from his hand.

Xu Shu: "..."

He saw Qin Chu's eyebrows and eyes frowned, and his expression suddenly softened. At this time, he really looked like a big girl who looked like a dog-it was really inexplicable.

Of course Xu Shu knew who the letter came from, and he didn't know what he thought of. He gasped secretly as if seeing a ghost, turned his head away, and happened to meet the scout who was also a ghost. The two of them glared at Mung Dou and looked at each other stand up.

I saw her whispering to herself with a smile while opening the envelope:

"Wen Ruo's letter. Could it be from Chen Changwen? Changge has no advisers, and I am short of people to squeeze."

Scout: "..."

Xu Shu: "..."

What the hell, Bai was excited.
