It was like a ritual, and it felt like a long time had passed. When all the Tang troops threw their weapons down the city wall, Li Jing immediately left from the east gate of Xuzhou City with Huangfu Jixun and the entire army, no one stopped him at this time, not even Murong Yanchao did not stop him, he knew that this was inevitable, he did not dare to let the city be in turmoil, and he also did not dare to threaten Li Jing, so he could only watch him leave.

When Li Jing and his party left, the people in Xuzhou City watched and watched them go away little by little. Suddenly, the east was dusty, and a team of soldiers rushed out of the mountains, facing the Tang army as if they didn't see it, and directly led the team around Xuzhou City and returned to the Great Zhou military camp.

Tang Jun and his party were so frightened that their faces were expressionless, there was no trace of blood on their faces, Zong Xin really buried heavy troops, if they had taken a step earlier, they would have been ambushed, and it was estimated that the whole army would be wiped out at that time. Li Jing didn't care so much, and continued to walk with the army, as long as they returned to Datang, they would be safe.

In Xuzhou City, everyone saw with their own eyes that the Great Zhou army let go of the Tang army, and this matter had a great impact on them, but the other party was the Tang Emperor Li Jing, if Zong Xin was willing to let go of the Tang Emperor, then it would not be a problem to let go of a small soldier.

Just as he was thinking about it, Zong Xin's voice came again, and everyone had heard it several times, he was just talking with a huge megaphone.

"My Zongxin has done what he says, since the Tang army has laid down its arms and surrendered, it is natural to let them leave safely. Next, I would like to invite His Majesty Guo Wei, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, to say a few words, everyone listen, this may be your only way to live. ”

Everyone was concentrated on the west tower of Xuzhou City, and the soldiers in the city were eager to know what their only way to survive was. They know Zongxin too well, this person has created countless miracles, and the fate of being an enemy of Zongxin has always been tragic.

There are several emperors who were killed by Zong Xin, and this time he can even pit Li Jing to death, but in good faith, he let Li Jing live, if he is willing to let a big man like Li Jing go, of course he can also let these dispensable soldiers in the city.

Guo Wei picked up the huge megaphone, cleared his throat slightly, and then said: "The soldiers in Xuzhou City are listening, the widow is Guo Wei, the emperor of the Great Zhou. Because the Emperor Liu Chengyou of the Later Han Dynasty was wiped out, Guo Dong, a widow and a pair of children, Guo Le'an died at the hands of Murong Yanchao. The widow loves the people like a son, and all kinds of policies after becoming the emperor are all people-oriented, which everyone should know very well, and you should not be unfamiliar with the character of the widow. It's just that the blood and hatred are not shared, and I ask you not to stop the widow from taking revenge on the blood hatred, otherwise the widow will be blamed for being ruthless. The widow has passed down the holy decree to attack the city at noon tomorrow, and if there is resistance, it will not be considered, but if someone follows the example of the Tang army and throws the weapon down the city wall before noon tomorrow, the widow will not be held accountable, and you will be the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future, and the widow will naturally love it. At this point, the widow only said it once, even if it was a bloody bath in Xuzhou, he would capture Murong Yanchao, a shameless man. ”

After finishing speaking, Guo Wei put down the megaphone. Zong Xin picked up the megaphone and handed it to the side, Han Lingkun took it, and then shouted with a real heart: "Emperor of the Great Zhou, benevolent and generous, benevolent and benevolent to the people, he deserves his name, Murong Yanchao, an insidious villain, serves him, and his brain is sick." Tomorrow at noon, the army will attack the city, and if you want to live, throw away your weapons.................."

Han Lingkun kept saying the same thing in the loudest voice, the purpose was to attack the soldiers' final bottom line layer by layer.

Guo Wei said it once, Zong Xin said it once, maybe these soldiers are still thinking about whether to throw away their weapons and surrender to Da Zhou. But Han Lingkun keeps repeating like this, every time he says it, some people's hearts will be shaken, and the constant repetition will only make more people have this kind of thought.

Of course, this was also Zongxin's idea, and even the loudspeaker was made according to Zongxin's instructions. In fact, even Guo Wei was taken aback, he couldn't imagine that after making this thing into such a shape, the sound could become very loud and spread far away.

Murong Yanchao gritted his teeth in anger on the city wall, but he couldn't help it. The other party's voice was too loud, and it was useless for him to roar on the city wall. And at this time, if he did something else, it would make the soldier's determination even more shaken, and he didn't know what to do at all, so he didn't expect Zongxin to use this trick.

Murong Yanchao also knows very well what Guo Wei's behavior is, it is true that the whole world has almost unanimous praise for Guo Wei, since he has made such a promise, almost no one will doubt that he will break his word, and for Guo Wei, he does not need to break his word, Guo Wei doesn't care about the life or death of these soldiers, he just wants to rush into Xuzhou and capture him alive.

Tomorrow at noon, the siege will be a little too fast. Murong Yanchao could almost see that his soldiers were already talking, and many of them were already planning to throw away their weapons and surrender to Da Zhou. If this continues, this battle will not be fought at all, and these soldiers may directly open the city gate to welcome Guo Wei and his party into the city.

Murong Yanchao would never let this kind of thing happen, even if Xuzhou City was broken, it would be broken in chaos, so that he would have the opportunity to assassinate Zong Xin while he was in chaos. After Zong Xin's death, the eldest brother had a chance to capture the Great Zhou, and in the same way, only by killing Zong Xin could he break the curse he had placed on him, and it was too painful to die of cold and starvation. I don't want to die, and I don't want to die so miserably.

Murong Yanchao immediately ordered: "Send someone to control the city wall, whoever dares to climb the city wall without authorization will be killed, let alone intend to throw the weapon down." Tell everyone to close the city gate and defend Xuzhou, and the Great Zhou army will not be able to attack tomorrow. ”

In fact, no one really doubts that the Great Zhou army will not be able to attack tomorrow, after all, there are nearly 40,000 people defending the city, which is not a small number, how easy is it to capture Xuzhou......? Xuzhou is now isolated, let alone forcibly attacking the city, the Great Zhou army only needs to trap Xuzhou, no one is allowed to enter and exit, and it will not be able to pass ten days and half a month, and after the food in Xuzhou City is eaten, it will not be attacked.

It is clear to everyone that Xuzhou has no chance. All the resources of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty are fighting with Xuzhou, the small city of Xuzhou can't last long at all, and there is no need for Guo Wei to send troops at all, the small city of Xuzhou can't support so many soldiers at all, Murong Yanchao has already been poor, and if it goes on like this, it is estimated that Murong Yanchao can only earn enough money to feed these tens of thousands of troops by being a bandit and robbing people when he sees them, even if this is not guaranteed.

In fact, Xu Zhoujun's heart had already been shaken, and it was revived because of the intervention of Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty. But now Li Jing would rather drop his weapon and bear the risk of being directly captured by Zong Xin than leave Xuzhou, the soldiers are not stupid, nor are they blind, can they not understand these things?

If Murong Yanchao is a good person, what he does is a good thing that is beneficial to the world and the people, maybe there will be some soldiers who would rather starve with him, but in fact, Murong Yanchao is just a villain, and he is a sinister villain, a butcher who does not even let go of a child under the age of ten, is it worth it to be a soldier under this kind of person?

Looking at Guo Wei again, there has been no negative evaluation of Guo Wei so far, and even the enemy admires him very much. There is nothing to say about his character and ability, the most valuable thing is that all the policies he implemented after becoming the emperor were all at his own expense to benefit the people.

This time the war was not provoked by Guo Wei for revenge, but Murong Yanchao and Liu Chong wanted to seize the Great Zhou River, and they were the initiators. Now that the army is defeated, no one will pity them at all, but there are more people who support Guo Wei.

Guo Wei attacked Xuzhou only to avenge his children, not to mention that this kind of thing was put on Guo Wei's body, even an ordinary soldier would fight for his life to avenge his children.

Murong Yanchao wanted to stop it, but he couldn't stop it at all. Weapons were constantly being thrown from the walls, but not in front of him. Murong Yanchao was throwing weapons on the city wall of the west city, and on the three sides of the north, south, and east cities. When Murong Yanchao changes positions, they will go to other places to throw them.

Until that night, Han Lingkun had already shouted out his throat, and several people had been replaced, and they kept shouting the same words. The entire city of Xuzhou is destined to be sleepless, and the soldiers are rebelling more and more, and the sound of metal collision is constantly coming, and the whole night is spent in torture.

But the Zhou army has already held a celebration banquet here, and the initiator is Zong Xin, who knows that these soldiers will definitely throw all their weapons out of the city, and they don't have to wait until tomorrow afternoon, they can send troops directly into the city at any time, and they will not be hindered by anything.

Outside soldiers roasted meat around a campfire and drank wine. In the camp, Zong Xin and his party also drank and had fun, and there were three beautiful wives around who kept pouring wine for Zong Xin, envying others to death. In addition to Zhao Kuangyin, because Zhao Kuangyin also has He Meiyu by his side to pour wine for him.

Zhao Pu beside Zong Xin said softly: "Boss, is it appropriate to drink like this before the big war?"

"Why do you call me the boss? You're the boss of the Ao Gang. ”

"You're the boss of the boss. Zhao Pu said: "Don't talk about this yet, will you really be able to attack the city smoothly tomorrow?" What if Murong Yanchao sneaks up on the night?"

Zong Xin said with a smile: "He's not so bold, not to mention the huge disparity in strength, even if someone dares to come and sneak attack, it will be a dead end." Morale is sometimes strong, sometimes fragile. Seeing that Li Jing would rather lose his weapon and take such a big risk to leave Xuzhou, those soldiers still don't understand? Not to mention that he wants to sneak attack the barracks of 100,000 troops, doesn't he have any troops? But when a troop of several thousand people marches, the ground is shaking, and we have already noticed it before we reach the barracks, so there is no need to worry at all. ”

Zhao Pu nodded, in fact, he didn't doubt Zong Xin's decision, but he just felt that it was a bit inappropriate. And Guo Wei and Song Yan didn't participate at all, maybe they just didn't think it was appropriate, so they didn't come.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Zhao Pu, don't look at our surnames Zhao, but our tempers are different. One thing I have to tell you is that this is also a matter of experience. Zong Xin asked him to do whatever he wanted, and it was useless to ask more. Do you think I haven't asked all these years? When the matter is done, you will naturally know the intention of Zongxin. ”

"What else can you do if you drink in the barracks? It's just that Murong Yanchao is expected to be dead, so he celebrates in advance. I know that Master Zongxin is powerful, and Murong Yanchao is dead, but sometimes things shouldn't be so sharp, they will only attract people's eyes. ”

Zhao Pu is right, but no one cares, because after drinking a little more, the wine will come up, so no matter what Zhao Pu says, it's good to have a drink tonight. Anyway, the victory has been decided, and at this time, no one can stop the fact that Xuzhou City is broken, and the strongest strength nearby is Li Jing, Li Jing has fled, and no one can save Murong Yanchao.
