"It's Liu Jiu and Liu Bosheng!" Some people who knew Liu Xuan shouted in the crowd.

When people heard this, they rushed to Liu Jiu, and when they came to him, they said in a gossipy voice: "Lord Liu, we are here to guard the city!" "We're here to kill the barbarians!" "We ......"

As soon as they heard the noise of the people, Liu Xuan and Feng Yi understood their purpose.

The two looked at each other and shook their heads in unison, feeling angry and funny.

When the barbarian army attacked on a large scale, and the soldiers and civilians who held the city defense suffered heavy casualties, it was even more difficult to gather strong men in the city than to ascend to the sky, and now that the barbarian army has withdrawn, the people in the city have come to the courage and rushed to participate in the city defense, why did you go earlier?

Liu Xuan cleared his throat and said loudly: "I can understand everyone's feelings, but now that the barbarian army has retreated, there is no longer a need for so many people to defend the city, everyone go back!" ”

Are you hungry when you go back? Participate in the defense of the city, can you have something to eat, and what can you eat when you return home?

After several days of lockdown in the city, every household in the city has eaten almost all the food, and now they are volunteering to defend the city, there is no danger, and they can eat military rations in vain, why not?

People didn't want to leave at all, and they shouted loudly: "Lord Liu, leave us behind!" ”

"Yes, Lord Liu, just leave us all behind!"

The people's begging and begging were unwilling to leave, and this situation made Liu Xuan and Feng Yi also helpless.

Ye Tian, who was standing aside, frowned, the Ye family had already consumed almost all the food they had hoarded, barely enough to sustain more than a thousand people a day's food, but now one or two hundred thousand people suddenly appeared in the city to participate in the defense of the city, even if the Ye family's family was taken out, it would not be enough for so many people to eat.

Besides, these tens of thousands of people clearly came here to take advantage, and if the barbarian army really fought back, they would run faster than anyone else.

Liu Xuan and Feng Yi tried their best to appease the emotions of the people, and advised them to go back to their respective homes, now there is no longer a need for so many people to defend the city, but no matter how they persuade them, no one listens to them at all, and the people at the scene refused to leave after they died, blocking the streets near the city wall, and the scene was also chaotic.

Feng Yi pulled Liu Xuan, withdrew from a distance, and whispered: "Brother Bosheng, it's not a way to go on like this, I think we still have to go to Lord Wang and let Lord Wang come forward to solve this matter!" ”

Liu Xuan smiled bitterly and asked, "How can Lord Wang solve it?" "If Wang Xun comes forward, he can persuade these people to go home?

Feng Yi sighed lightly and said: "The city has been closed for so many days, the food in the people's homes has long been eaten, and people have no choice but to stay here and not leave, as long as Lord Wang is willing to open a warehouse to release grain, so that the people can have something to eat, the problem will naturally be solved!" ”

Liu Xuan almost laughed out loud and said, "Open the warehouse and release grain? Brother Gongsun, you must have overestimated Lord Wang, even if you kill him, he won't dare to release a grain of grain! ”

He has long seen through Wang Xun, who has a small belly and chicken intestines, and is as timid as a mouse, only greedy for his own pleasure, and does not care about the life or death of others.

Just such a person, can you still expect him to risk angering Lian Dan and open a warehouse for the people to release grain? It's a joke!

Feng Yi frowned and stopped talking.

The people in the city volunteered to participate in the city defense, and as many as 10,000 or 20,000 people poured out at once, and the news naturally spread to the Taishou Mansion.

After Wang Xun heard this, he laughed.

He didn't think that the people ran to join the defenders in order to fill their stomachs, but only that the barbarian army was frightened back by his side, which greatly boosted the morale of the people in the city, and the people had the mentality of fighting to the death with the barbarian army.

Thinking of this, he felt that Liu Xiu's move to capture Xiesang was too redundant, now that so many people spontaneously joined the defenders, even if the barbarian army did not withdraw, it would not be able to break through the city defense of the county town, on the contrary, he could also take the opportunity to kill a lot of barbarian troops and make a lot of achievements.

He rolled his eyes and asked for Shesan to be brought over.

After a short time, two soldiers escorted Shesang into the lobby.

Wang Xun, who was sitting in the center, looked down and saw Sheesang covered in dirt and blood, he frowned in disgust, and asked in a weird manner: "Xiesang, can you be convinced of the defeat of this battle?" ”

Xie Sang glared at Wang Xun angrily and shouted: "Wang Xun, if you have a kind, you will kill Lao Tzu!" ”

He may be convinced of Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu can sneak into the valley camp, capture him alive, and take him to break into his own army, he may also be convinced of Liu Xiu and Feng Yi, the two of them can resist their own army with an inferior army for so many days. But for Wang Xun, he looks down on him from the bottom of his heart, just a bullshit civil official who is a fox and a fake tiger, if he is not in trouble, he is not even qualified to stand in front of him and speak!

Wang Xun squinted his eyes, stared at Shesang for a moment, snorted out laughing, he slowly stood up, bypassed the table, walked to Xesang, slowly drew his sword under his ribs, slapped Shesang's cheek with the sword, and said with a smile: "The general of the defeated army, when death is imminent, do you still dare to be strong?!" ”

"Dead? Haha--" Shesan suddenly laughed on his back.

He is really not afraid of Wang Xun, in his opinion, he lent Wang Xun ten guts, and Wang Xun did not dare to kill him.

He tilted his head, looked at Wang Xun from the corner of his eye, and said proudly: "If you dare to kill me, my army of the Xie clan will inevitably raze the city of Hanzhong to the ground, so that the chickens and dogs in the city will not be left, as for you, Wang Xun, rats!" My army of the Sheh tribe will tear you apart piece by piece and devour you alive! Haha-" As he spoke, he laughed again.

Listening to Xie Sang's words, the faces of everyone present became more and more ugly, especially Wang Xun, who was so angry that his face turned blue and his body trembled.

Shesang glanced around at everyone present, sneered, and said, "Your Han people's meat is good, fragrant and tender, especially Han women, haha-"

The mud bodhisattva still has three points of earthiness, not to mention Wang Xun, the dignified guard.

He couldn't help it anymore, he roared angrily, the sword in his hand was suddenly handed forward, and a pop was heard in the ear chakra, and the sound of Xiesan's wild laughter stopped abruptly, and he stared at Wang Xun with wide eyes in disbelief.

After a while, Xie Sang slowly lowered his head, only to see that the sword in Wang Xun's hand had penetrated his chest pain.

He felt that the strength in his body was being rapidly drained, and Xie Sang looked at Wang Xun again, and said word by word: "You dare to kill me......"

Before the words fell, the others couldn't hold on, and fell heavily to the ground, making a muffled bang.

Wang Xun raised his leg and stepped on Shesang's shoulder, pulled the sword out of Shesang's chest, and he turned to the soldiers outside and shouted, "Someone! Cut off the thief's head for me and hang it above the city! ”

"Yes!" At the sound of the words, two soldiers approached from the outside, lifted Shetsan's body from the ground, and dragged it outside.

Wang Xun shook off the blood on the sword, took out his handkerchief, wiped the blood stains clean, and then put the sword into the sheath, and said to the people around him: "The barbarian thief doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he dares to provoke his official in the Taishou Mansion, and so on, it's not a pity to die!" ”

"My lord, the lower officials think that it is not appropriate to hang out the head of Shesang, and if the barbarian army learns the news of Shesang's beheading, they may attack again!" A county official cautioned.

Wang Xun sneered and said, "This official is still afraid that the barbarian army will not come back!" Didn't you hear the news from Beicheng just now? Another 20,000 strong men joined the city defense, and only 10,000 people were left in the barbarian army outside the city, so why be afraid?! ”

The officials of the county government looked at each other, nodded their heads again and again, and praised: "It turns out that Lord Wang deliberately killed Xesang, provoked the barbarian army, and led the barbarian army to attack the city again, so that our side can not only kill and injure more barbarian troops, but even have the opportunity to annihilate the barbarian thieves attacking the city in one fell swoop!" ”

When Wang Xun heard this, he laughed, this was exactly his wishful thinking.

As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless.

It was impossible for Liu Xiu, who was afraid of Xiesang, and even Liu Xuan and Feng Yi to kill him, because they knew very well how serious the consequences of killing Xiesang were.

Don't look at the 20,000 people who have emerged in the city now, vowing to join the city defense and resist the barbarian army, but they are like a mirror in their hearts, if the barbarian army really kills back, the strong men of these 20,000 people will immediately scatter, and those who can really follow them to hold the city are actually the thousand people right now.

How can more than a thousand people resist a barbarian army of more than 10,000 people?

However, Wang Xun would not have thought of these things, he only saw that there were 20,000 strong men joining the team defending the city, in his eyes, the current county town is already impregnable, so it is meaningless to stay or not.

Under Wang Xun's mentality, he was not polite to Shesang, stabbed him to death with a sword, and unrelentingly beheaded Xiesang and hung it at the head of the city, as if he was afraid that the spies of the barbarian army would not notice the news of Shesang's killing.

The soldiers of the Taishou Mansion also specially built a wooden cage for Shesang's head, and then put Shesang's round head into it. Under the instruction of Wang Xun, the four soldiers carried wooden cages and swaggered towards Beicheng.

Along the way, the people of the whole city were in a stir, and men, women, and children, people poured into the streets, scrambling to see the head of the barbarian patriarch.

The streets were overcrowded, and the four soldiers could not move an inch, and by the time they reached the northern city, it was already dark.

Liu Xuan, Liu Xiu and others who were at the head of the city heard the commotion in the city, and they didn't know what was going on.

It wasn't until the four soldiers walked to the city with the wooden cage that the people could see what was in the cage.

Liu Xuanteng stood up suddenly, looked intently at the severed head in the cage, and subconsciously asked, "Is that Xiesang's head?" ”

One of the four soldiers stepped forward and walked a few steps, came to Liu Xuan's approach, bowed his hand, and said: "Lord Liu, Xiesang is unrepentant, and when he arrives at the Taishou Mansion, he is still flying and arrogant, and Lord Wang has executed him, and ordered us to hang the head of this thief on the head of the city!" ”

Hearing this, the faces of everyone present changed greatly. Liu Xiu, Feng Yi and the others also stood up, stepped forward quickly, and looked closely, and the cage contained the head of Xie Sang.

Wang Xun actually killed Xiesang?! Everyone was dumbfounded, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, and they couldn't understand what the hell was going on in Wang Xun's mind.

Shesang is in your own hands, the barbarian army will have some concerns, dare not come to attack the city, and now you kill Shesang, doesn't it mean that you will force the barbarian army to come back and fight with your own side?
