The sun in the sky gradually submerged below the horizon at the end of the field of vision, and the bright sky and earth suddenly darkened, and the desolate gong of Mingjin to collect the troops sounded under the county town of Shayang, and the tide-like attacking troops retreated in waves, leaving countless remains and blood between their large camp and the city wall. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 From the city, the cheers of the defenders could be heard, who stood at the top of the wall with impunity, waved their weapons, held their banners high, and shouted at the retreating attackers.

The battle for the county seat of Shayang has been going on for almost a month. The moat has long been filled, and every attack is an extremely brutal battle for the city wall, almost a small fight a day, a big fight in three days, but the cruelty of the battle is obviously far beyond Mo Luo's imagination.

In his opinion, a righteous teacher like himself who relieved the people from hanging upside down, asked for the people's lives, resisted the invasion of the violent Qi, and resisted the cowardly Yue Imperial Court, shouldn't the people run to tell each other, cheer and open the city gates, and welcome his arrival?

This is indeed the case in Changyang County, wherever his banner goes, large and small counties, villages and towns all happily join his army, which is Changyang County, and finally the people in the city rose up to rebel and opened the city gate to break through, which also gave Mo Luo an illusion.

He believes that all the common people welcome him.

But in Shayang County, reality hit him hard.

Shayang County is very different from Changyang County, most of them are plain areas, the land is fertile, the products are rich, and more importantly, there is a person with a very high prestige here, the old lady Liu of the Liu family.

The influence of the imperial court here is weak, and the real masters are the wealthy families dominated by the Liu family. Shayang County is still the world of the weak and the strong, but these wealthy families who have ruled Shayang County for hundreds of years all understand a truth, if the skin does not exist, Mao will be attached? And in Mrs. Liu's generation, this is better than before.

Of course, the heroes want to grab more wealth, but only when the people under their command are richer, they can get more, so the people of Shayang County live a relatively comfortable life, compared to Changyang County, they are undoubtedly living in heaven.

This is the discipline and order that Mrs. Liu has always emphasized. And the people of Shayang County are also accustomed to living in such discipline and order.

But Mo Luo came, and Mo Luo's style made the people of Shayang shudder. Wherever the army goes, everything you have will not be your own, but the Shuntian army, and you can only get your own rations as a part of the Shuntian army, which is the support of the people of Changyang County, or the support of life, but for the people of Shayang County, it is naked deprivation.

Therefore, the people of Shayang County do not need too much mobilization from the government and the powerful to fight hard. The battle in Shayang County became more and more fierce and cruel.

Mo Luo was shocked to find that he had more and more well-trained troops, and with the efforts of Wu Xin and the former Yue officers who surrendered to him, more and more of his troops became more and more like a soldier, but the resistance on the city walls was also becoming more and more skilled. He's growing, but the people in the city are also growing.

They have tall and steep walls to rely on, they have abundant reserves of food to consume, and the information from the city makes Mo Luo a little frustrated to find that if it continues like this, it will be himself who can't withstand it first.

There are hundreds of thousands of troops in the air, but there is no way to hold this Shayang county town. If you can't even do this half-hung army in Shayang County, how can you sweep the world?

"King, let's meet that envoy of the Chu State!" Wu Xin persuaded. "We must get support from the outside world now, our food and grass can no longer let us be exhausted like this, if there is no food, that is the beginning of the collapse of our army."

Listening to Wu Xin's words, Mo Luo waved his hand irritably: "I know that our logistics are in a hurry, but Wu Xin, the people of Chu are coming here at this time, what kind can they have?" It's easy to see them, and it's easy to promise them, but once you have an entanglement with them, it's not so easy to get rid of them in the future! ”

"Hurry up with power." Wu Xin said: "After all, this is the land of the Yue Kingdom, and the soldiers here are also the king's soldiers, as long as the people of Chu can give us real support, is the king still afraid of them turning the sky?" It doesn't hurt to see them and hear what they have to say! Or they can surprise us. ”

"Then let's see! If they dare to make some unreasonable demands, then don't blame me for being unkind and just blasting them out. Morrow said impatiently.

"Great King, the two countries are fighting, and they don't kill the envoys, not to mention that the envoys of the Chu State can't talk about being our enemies, and now as long as they can help us, they are our friends. The king should be nicer to them! Wu Xin said with a smile.

Ma Xiangnan stepped into Mo Luo's big tent in high spirits, he has been here for ten days, but he has not seen Mo Luo, this proud Shuntian King, he didn't take him in his eyes at all, but the Wu Xin under his command has a few talents. In these days, Ma Xiangnan, who lived in the camp of the Shuntian army, observed everything about the Shuntian army up close, and also saw the attack of the Shuntian army on the county town of Shayang.

However, his task here is to sort out this group of rabble, to make them stronger, to cause greater distress to the Yue Kingdom, of course, the biggest purpose is to let Mo Luo finally wave his troops to the east to find trouble with the Qi people.

In ten days, the Shuntian army's offensive has been repeatedly frustrated, and Ma Xiangnan's confidence is getting more and more, Mo Luo, who has won a hundred battles, does not need his own, but now, the Shuntian army, which has been repeatedly defeated and has reached the brink of danger, will need himself more and more, and sometimes, he even hopes that the old lady Liu in the city will give Mo Luo a big defeat again, and only at that time, Mo Luo will rely on himself more.

"See King Suncheon!" Ma Xiangnan, who walked into the big tent, did not have the slightest frame of the envoys of the great powers, and honestly visited Mo Luo with the etiquette of seeing the emperor, which calmed down Mo Luo, who was originally unsuitable.

"Get up, your name is Ma Xiangnan, what is the relationship with Ma Xiangdong?" Moro waved his hand and motioned for the guards to bring a chair to the south end of the horse.

Sitting down steadily, Ma Xiangnan arched his hand upward, "Back to the king, Ma Xiangdong is the eldest brother in the next, and he is in the second line at home." ”

"Hehehe, it's more and more Ma Zuoxiang's younger brother!" Mo Luo laughed meaningfully, in his eyes, this is naturally a guy who got up by nepotism.

"Master Ma, since Brother Ling is Ma Xiangdong and Ma Zuoxiang, then we don't have to talk around the bend, just pick up a little, what help can you give me? What do you want me to do for you? Morrow picked up the liquor on the table, took a big sip, and slammed the bowl on the table with a thud.

The air was filled with spirits and asked, which made Ma Xiangnan feel a little more disdainful in his heart, it was really reckless and banditry.

"The king, the lower officials are not far away, and they come by a detour, which can show the sincerity of our Great Chu, and His Majesty the Emperor of our country is very admirable for the king......"

"Don't talk about these useless things, just ignore the empty things, and go straight to the point." Moro impatiently interrupted Ma Xiangnan's words.

Ma Xiangnan smiled, "Okay, then let's get to the point, when our Great Chu knew that the Great King was going to attack Shayang County, my Great Chu Emperor His Majesty had already anticipated the Great King's predicament today, and now according to what I have observed, the Great King is indeed a little difficult to ride a tiger." Forgive me for saying something unpleasant, if the king does not seek change, under this Shayang county town, the king is afraid that he will suffer a big defeat. ”

"Nonsense."

"Nonsense!"

"Loud talk!?"

Inside the big tent, there was a shout of reprimand, but Ma Xiangnan was unmoved, still looking at Mo Luo with a smile.

Mo Luo's face was also extremely ugly, and he glared at Ma Xiangnan, "Ma Xiangnan, I don't care what your master wants from me, but relying on such false words and intimidation alone will only backfire." ”

"King, let's not talk about whether this Shayang County City can be captured, I just want to ask, how long can the king's grain and grass last, and once the grain and grass are cut off, how will the king deal with himself? The king's previous plan was to prepare to replenish in Shayang County, but he didn't expect that the Liu clan in Shayang had already prepared, and you had limited income in Shayang County, right? A large amount of grain and grass is now in the county town of Shayang, but the premise is that you want to capture the county town of Shayang! But now it seems that it is not easy to defeat him. ”

Ma Xiangnan said leisurely: "The predicament you are in now, not only can I understand it, but those big people in Yuejing City can also see it very clearly." Zhang Jian was stationed in Zhengyang County with the elite Yuejing Tiger Ben, but he refused to come out to meet the king, it was not that he was afraid of you, but they wanted to take advantage of the fisherman, once you couldn't capture Shayang County, but the grain and grass were exhausted, at that time it was not only the counterattack of Shayang County, but also the thunderous blow from Zhang Jian of Zhengyang County. If this is the case, how will you turn the tide? ”

Mo Luo looked at Ma Xiangnan with a dark face, the other party said, he was not without consideration, but now, except for trying his best to take Shayang County City and replenish himself with the abundant materials in the city, he actually had no other way.

"Our Da Chu doesn't want to see the king fail, so this is my Ma's long trip, if the king hasn't even understood this, then even if Ma Mou's trip is in vain, if the king is defeated in the future, our Da Chu still welcomes the king to take refuge in us." (To be continued.) )
