Da Wei Chun

Chapter 177

The night is getting darker, the cool breeze is blowing, and the smoke from cooking is mixed with a foul smell, floating up to the top of the city.

The killing sounds in the city stopped for a while, but the faces of Li Shixian and Hu Duo became more serious.

Maybe after eating this night, the rebels will attack the city with all their strength.

The defenders are already at the end of their strength, how many days can they hold on?
Once the city is broken, how many defenders and citizens in the city will survive?
With a tragic look on Hu Duo's face, he asked unwillingly: "Does Huaide have any regrets?"

"It's a pity...hahaha, how many are there?"

Li Shixian laughed strangely, "Grandpa hasn't lived to 99 years old...Xinna's concubine hasn't married yet... Madam hasn't given the old man a son..."

"You still want to have a son? You are nearly forty years old, and you have five sons and six daughters, which is too little..."

Just half a sentence in surprise, Hu Duo suddenly came to his senses: what Li Shixian said was about his son.

In the dynasties after the Song Dynasty, it was said that "the elder and the young must not be abandoned", but before the Song Dynasty, it was said that "the concubine must not be messed up"!
It is rumored that Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty, once said: Except for the sons of the legitimate sons, no one is a son.

The authenticity can no longer be tested, but just look at the chaos of the Li Tang imperial family's human relations, the brains of the brothers and sisters have been beaten up several times, but the succession of the throne is still not messed up, it can be seen that this statement is inevitable It's not groundless.

And Li Tang inherited from the Sui Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty, the strictness of his concubines at this time is even worse.

If the legitimate son is still alive, the possibility of the concubine inheriting the family business is very slim.For example, Hu Duo, among the three brothers, has the best talent, the strongest ability, and the biggest official position, but Hu Hai has never considered him.

Even if Hu Yong committed a heinous crime, Hu Hai would rather help his grandson Hu Baozong...

Even if there is a reason for the incident, like the Li family, which can only be inherited by the concubine, there will be many troubles in the future, so Li Shixian will have another one in his heart.

Regardless of the rest, if Li Chenghong inherits the family business, after a hundred years of Li Shixian, the Guo and Li families will be strangers, let alone help...

"It's a pity!" Hu Duo sighed empathetically.

"It's more than a pity?"

Thinking about it, Li Shixian's intestines turned green with regret, "If I had known today, it would be no harm if a daughter from a poor family married him, at least I could leave a queen for my grandfather..."

But what's the use of regretting?

Fortunately, there is still Li Song here, Jingzhou City is really going to be destroyed, and if the Li family is destroyed, Li Song naturally knows what to do.

Of course, the premise is that Li Chengzhi is still alive...

Praying in his heart, he realized that the war horse under his crotch had stopped. Li Shixian looked up and saw that he had reached the north gate.

The gates of the city had already been sealed, and even the Wengcheng was sealed.The city is full of stones, wood, and pots and stoves for burning oil and water.

Further on, there are shacks for the guards and civilian husbands to sleep and rest, all of which are lit at this time.

But the strange thing is that there is no panic on the faces of these people, but ecstasy on their faces, as if they have bumped into something great.

Hu Duofu came to his heart, and whispered: "Could it be...the rebels have withdrawn?"

Remove a bird egg!

"What are you dreaming of?" Li Sixian sneered, "You don't even smell it, the smell of meat is almost choking your nose?"

When Hu Duo heard this, he almost spit out the half of the wine he drank.

Yes, the rebels are really about to withdraw, how can they still smell the aroma of vegetables and meat?

Suspicious, the two followed Hu Shichang's personal guards to the top of the city.

There is also a thatched shed on the top of the city, which is used by the generals who watch the night.There is also one in Nancheng. Li Shixian and Hu Duo also pretended to stay for a night or two in order to show their leadership and help the soldiers.

But most of the time, the eldest son Li Chenghong, the third son Li Chengxue, Hu Duo's two sons, and their generals lived there.

At this time, Hu Shichang was sitting in the shack with a big horse and a sword.

There was a cold light outside the shed, and there were all generals in armor. Looking carefully, it seemed that all the guards from the four cities in the southeast, northwest, and north had been summoned.

Seeing Li Shixian, these people were stunned for a moment, those who were pacing stopped, those who were discussing stopped talking, and all turned their eyes to Li Shixian.

The eyes are complicated and incomprehensible, with surprise, gratitude, joy, envy and jealousy...

"What did you do?" Hu Duo asked suspiciously, "Is your face clean?"

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion and identity, he would have thought that he stole the governor's fine wine and preserved meat...

"Stop being funny!" Li Shixian reprimanded in a low voice, "Shi Jun is here..."

In fact, he was also confused.

There were still more than ten steps away, and Hu Shichang came out to meet him, the folds on his face seemed to be squeezed into a flower, and his gray hair fluttered in the wind.Coupled with a golden armor, he walks like a dragon and walks like a tiger, and he looks a bit old-fashioned, with ambitions for thousands of miles.

So far, the two have concluded that it is not a bad thing, but a good thing.

I just don't know what it has to do with Lee Si Hyun.

"Wade..."

Hu Shichang shouted, his feet were faster, and his voice seemed to tremble.When I walked a few steps closer and looked again, there seemed to be tears in my eyes...

Hu Duo looked at Li Shixian suspiciously: Why did the clan uncle suddenly become so close to Huaide?
As far as the relationship between the two is concerned, that's it.

Although the Hu family is a noble family, they are relatives, and their reputation is not that good, most of them are despised by the powerful gentry in Jingzhou.

And Li Shixian's personality is rather surly, and he will not take the initiative to post it.

That is to say, after Jingzhou was besieged, there were not many generals who knew soldiers in the city. After Li Shixian was reactivated, the two sides had contact.

But Li Shixian and Hu Shichang are also limited to the relationship between superiors and subordinates. After all, Li Shixian's reputation is not so good.

But when he and Hu Duo got along day and night, the two of them were quite congenial, to the point of discussing that after the chaos was settled, they would exchange gifts for their sons and daughters...

Also suspicious in his heart, Li Shixian called "Mr. Shi" and made a gesture to bow down again.

But before he even bent down, Hu Shichang lifted him up.Then he supported Li Shixian's shoulders again, staring at Li Shixian with burning eyes.

Hu Shichang's lips parted slightly, his throat rolled, his body trembled slightly, even his beard trembled, and his eyes were even more frighteningly bright

"Usually, the old man accepts your worship as a matter of course. But today is different..."

While talking in his mouth, Hu Shichang stepped back and bowed deeply to Li Shixian: "On behalf of the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city, I thank Huaide..."

Li Shixian was taken aback, and instinctively hid to the side, screaming in his mouth: "Huide, how can you dare to accept such a great gift from Mr. Shi?"

Seeing that he was so startled, Hu Shichang was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "I forgot, you still don't know what happened?"

He grabbed Li Shixian's arm and led him to the shed. He smiled as he walked, "I don't know that there is such a unicorn in Huaide. In two months, tens of thousands of soldiers have been raised. It is like a god's help. Liu Huiwang and Liu Huiwang who beat him Li Wenxiao retreated every day..."

As Hu Shichang said, he pointed down the city: "Now that we have attacked the city of Jingzhou, the siege of Jingzhou will be solved soon... Do you think I should thank you?"

I still have a unicorn, why didn't I know?
Li Shixian became more and more confused the more he listened, and he even wondered if Hu Shichang was too confused.

He subconsciously asked: "Could it be that Shi Jun remembered it wrong?"
