Changfeng has a place to return

Huang Wangxiang followed his gaze and looked over.

The people outside the city had already heard the news that Yan Jun was about to call, and their hearts became more and more anxious. They simply crowded around the guard who was in charge of registration, and crowded forward in a dark way, demanding to enter the city as soon as possible.The guard pulled out a shining knife and reprimanded them loudly, but failed to deter them, so he hurriedly sent people to the city wall to ask how to deal with the turmoil.

"Your Majesty." Yuan Zong said, "We can't let them in! One is that there is not enough food in the city, and the other is that the identities of these thousands of people have not been checked. If they are refugees pretending to be Yan Jun, the consequences will be disastrous."

What he said was indeed reasonable, but Liu Xian'an asked: "What if they are really refugees?"

If they are really refugees and they are left in the battlefield where the two armies are fighting, it is obvious what will happen and what will happen.It was also because it was so obvious that Yuan Zong and the other generals chose not to talk about it, and only talked about the dangers of letting people into the city, but now this matter was clearly put on the table by Liu Xian'an.

Yuan Zong said angrily: "Now the emperor doesn't need to see a doctor, you can go back!"

Liu Xian'an ignored him, but looked at Huang Wangxiang: "The people under the city gate are like me and my brother. They believe that as long as they enter the city, they will be able to eat. That's why they came here all the way." , they want to live."

A look of pain appeared on Huang Wangxiang's face, and the headache accumulated from days of insomnia all rushed up at this moment, and he couldn't even stand firmly.

The people next to him rushed forward to support him, Yuan Zong pointed at Liu Xian'an with his sword: "Those who confuse people with lies, whether you are a spy or not, you will not be able to survive today."

"Is it because I told the truth?" Liu Xian'an raised his voice, "I am a doctor, and a doctor should save people. General Yuan is a general, and his natural mission should be to save people. Why is it because I want to save people? kill me?"

When he said this, he was neither humble nor overbearing, standing with his hands behind his back, and he really meant to petition for the people.Huang Wangxiang ordered: "Old Yuan, put down your sword!"

Yuan Zong shouted: "Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense. The purpose of not letting the refugees outside the city come in is to protect the people inside the city, it's not a departure from the original intention!"

Liu Xian'an asked: "The purpose of not letting the refugees outside the city come in is to protect the people inside the city. General Yuan listened to himself. How is this statement different from those officials in Dayan? Sanshui City and those cities with closed gates along the Baihe River What's the difference?"

Yuan Zong became angry from embarrassment, he believed that Liu Xian'an was here to shake the morale of the army, he raised his sword to strike without saying a word, but was stopped by someone.The old general Miao Changqing blocked him and said, "Old Yuan, calm down!"

Huang Wangxiang also blushed, partly because of the chaos in the city, partly because of Liu Xian'an's accusation, and Yuan Zong's sudden atrocities.His ears were ringing sharply, the war is coming soon, this is bound to be a bloody battle, no matter win or lose, it will bring great casualties.If he loses, he loses. If he wins, he will attack all the way to the king city, and he probably won't be able to achieve the phrase "everyone has something to eat" that he wants in his heart.

Yuan Zong has already loudly ordered people to drive out the refugees outside the city and close the gate of Sanshui City.This news was like a bomb, which exploded into more sharp cries and pleadings. As Liu Xian'an said, Sanshui City has also become the cities along the Baihe River, and there is no difference.

Thinking of this, Huang Wangxiang supported the city wall, his throat was faintly sweet, and he said with bloodshot eyes: "Old Yuan, let them in."

"Your Majesty!" Yuan Zong said, "How can we let them in without verifying their identities? The Yan Army has already slaughtered Qingyang City, should they let them slaughter Sanshui City?"

"How does General Yuan know that Qingyang City was slaughtered by Yan's army?" Liu Xian'an looked at him, "Whoever wants to win the hearts of the people on both sides of the war, since Yan's army has won a complete victory, why bother to slaughter the city? Apart from pushing more people to the enemy camp, does the name of brutality have any other uses?"

"Liang Shu killed countless people, and it's not uncommon to massacre the city! The dog official of the Yan Dynasty, how can there be a good thing!" Yuan Zong said, "Well, today everyone can't see through your false appearance of a spy, so I won't kill you. , I will torture him carefully in two days, someone will drag him down and imprison him!"

Liu Xian'an retorted: "Which eye of yours saw Liang Shu killing countless people, and you can forcefully arrest this unreasonable act of massacring the city with a word of 'dog officer'?" The others were dragged down by two soldiers, and they were still shouting back, "Stay behind Who is the general of Qingyang City, does the Emperor really understand him?"

This question made Huang Wangxiang's hands and feet cold. He didn't understand, he didn't understand at all. At that time, he just heard the other party's rhetoric, and he was passionate and deeply moved, so he handed over the whole city.

Yuan Zong took two steps forward: "Your Majesty, prepare for battle!"

Huang Wangxiang looked up to the outside of the city again, the Yan army cavalry in the distance, and the refugees fleeing nearby.

The two soldiers escorted Liu Xian'an and walked faster and faster, but they didn't go to the prison, but turned into an alleyway.Liu Xian'an said: "Just now, what were you doing so fast, I can say a few more words."

The soldier who was disguised by the brothers of the Wang family said: "Second Master Liu, don't talk about it, I think Yuan Zong is like a mad dog, he can only grin his teeth, he can't make any sense."

"I'm not reasoning with Yuan Zong, I'm talking with Huang Wangxiang." Liu Xian'an said, "He's not a bad person, maybe I can avoid a war if I talk a little longer."

"But everyone around him will not let the young master continue talking. The situation just now is already very dangerous." Wang Fan said, "Although Huang Wangxiang has the title of leader, he is not like a prince. It has supreme authority. Every so-called 'general' here has their own ideas, and they will never surrender."

Liu Xian'an stopped in his tracks: "But I think I have convinced Huang Wangxiang [-]% or [-]% just now."

Wang Fan said: "Then he either has to rely on the remaining [-]-[-]% of his determination to fight, or..."

Liu Xian'an hurriedly turned his head to look at the tower.

And there was a riot going on.

Huang Wangxiang staggered to the ground clutching his belly, with blood overflowing between his fingers, Miao Changqing supported him, and said in disbelief, "Old Yuan, you're crazy!"

Yuan Zong held the sword, the edge of the sword was still bleeding, behind him stood many other generals, although some showed hesitation, they did not speak in the end.

Just now Huang Wangxiang ordered the exiles to enter the city, Yuan Zong tried his best to stop him, Huang Wangxiang drew his sword and scolded him angrily, during the two people's struggle, General Yuan's sword fell into the belly of the new emperor, whether it was intentional or unintentional , no one saw it clearly, but it didn't matter whether it was intentional or not, because everyone except Miao Changqing chose to stand behind Yuan Zong.

They don't understand, it's clear that all the way is a great victory, now is the right time to take advantage of the victory and go north, why the emperor suddenly became confused and insisted on taking risks for thousands of refugees, if he had known this, he might as well have elected General Yuan to sit on the dragon chair.

Huang Wangxiang was carried off the city wall.

In the dimly lit room, Liu Xian'an bandaged his wound, his fingertips were stained with blood.Huang Wangxiang listened to the commotion outside for a while, then panted and asked, "Is it really my people who did the massacre?"

Liu Xian'an said: "Yes, I heard from the surviving people who said that when Yan's army broke through the city, the defenders did not fight with all their strength, but pointed their swords at the people, slaughtered the city first, and then killed themselves. There is no other resistance to the curse of 'I will be a wolf or a tiger in the next life', and they are not greedy for life, but only have a cavity of ignorance and savage courage."

Huang Wangxiang murmured, "You are not a doctor, are you?"

"I'm a doctor, not all doctors." Liu Xian'an pressed the wound.

Huang Wangxiang's eyes rolled cloudy tears: "I was wrong."

"There is nothing wrong with life, wanting to beg for a living, wanting to kill corrupt officials." Liu Xian'an said, "However, there are some things that can't be done just by thinking about them. Everyone can have food A society that eats food cannot be achieved by only one person or dynasty, and it requires the efforts of tens of thousands and hundreds of millions of people."

"And I don't have the ability to manage tens of thousands or hundreds of millions of people." Huang Wangxiang said, "I can't see that day either."

"But someone will always be able to see it." Liu Xian'an slowed down his voice, "Brother Huang, everything you did today, even if you lost or made a mistake, is not completely meaningless, at least it is a kind of attempt. And history is not Is that so, many people, many attempts, pushing the great wheel of the times forward."

Huang Wangxiang looked at him and smiled dryly: "Little brother, thank you."

Liu Xian'an said, "You don't have to thank me."

With bloody hands, Huang Wangxiang grasped his sword with great difficulty: "You go, take this sword, the guard at the northwest gate is mine, if he recognizes the sword, he will let you go , Lao Yuan has already become suspicious of you, it is not appropriate to stay here for long, when you leave, take, take Lao Miao with you."

As soon as the words fell, Miao Changqing's scolding came from outside the courtyard: "Bold! The emperor is still inside, who told you to come!"

Aning ran in to report: "Brother, many people came outside, saying they wanted to arrest us and send us to prison."

Huang Wangxiang sat up with support, and shouted: "Get out!"

Although he is weak, he is the "emperor" who has not abdicated. Yuan Zong has not yet ascended the throne, so his subordinates dare not be too presumptuous. In addition, Miao Changqing is guarding the door with a knife, white hair The glaring look was quite scary, so he just surrounded the yard and didn't step in again.

But Huang Wangxiang was dying, he felt very tired, and at the same time he felt calm and relaxed about seeing his parents, wife and children. In the next life, he didn't want to be an emperor, he wanted to continue to be a farmer, relying on his hands to have food With enough food and clothing, and a pair of children to study, he grinned a little and entered the darkness completely.

Liu Xian'an gently covered his eyes for him.

Ah Ning was also in a heavy mood. He stood by the bed and asked, "My lord, what shall we do next?"

"Let's go to the ruined temple." Liu Xian'an said, "The prince is about to attack."

"But there are still many people from Yuan Zong outside, they have already identified us as spies."

"We were not on the same side as them."

Liu Xian'an picked up Huang Wangxiang's sword and stepped out of the room.Seeing the sword, Miao Changqing asked tremblingly: "The emperor..."

"I'm seriously injured, I'm sorry." Liu Xian'an asked, "General Miao, how many people do you have under your command?"

Miao Changqing hadn't come out of his grief yet, he said, "One hundred."

"Okay, one hundred." Liu Xian'an said, "Yuan Zong seems to be completely insane. I don't know if he will also order people to slaughter the city when he is at the end of his life. General Miao, we have to protect the people."

"Okay." Miao Changqing nodded, "That's it."

Outside the city, all the refugees had been expelled to the dense forest. Yuan Zong ordered the city gates to be closed and defensive weapons were set up on the city walls.Someone with a wink had already called "The Emperor" ahead of time, Yuan Zong didn't refute, and was quite willing to accept it with a smile, so everyone began to shout long live, and when Yan Jun was about to approach the city, they surrounded him wholeheartedly The new emperor ascended the throne.

Zhou Yi Yirong mixed in with the soldiers and surrounded him, always ready to hear what new orders this man would issue, so as to inform Second Young Master Liu of the news in time.He was really amazed, he didn't understand why he was still in such a mood at such a time.

Yuan Zong was wearing a bright yellow cloak, standing majestically on the high place of the city wall.

Gao Lin handed the binoculars to Xiao Bing, rode his horse and walked side by side with Liang Shu, wondering, "That's Huang Wangxiang? What are you doing in the cold weather? Wrapped in such a big cloak, you're not afraid of being blown away." .”

"You don't care about him." Liang Shu said, "Prepare your bow and arrows, order to go down and break the city within three days!"
