Water Margin begins as a captain in Yanggu County

Chapter 202 No! Not my Holy Lord!
Su Wu looked at Fang La and extended his hand to Fan Yun.

Fan Yun handed over a horse whip. Su Wu took the whip in his hand, switched between his left and right hands, and then held the whip upside down in his right hand.

Then Su Wu looked up and saw that everyone on the top of the city wall was watching this scene. The laughter had stopped and they were all staring at Fang La!

Obviously, everyone didn't believe it. They didn't believe that the person standing with his head down was Saint Fang La. In the hearts of many believers, Fang La was already a god-like figure. How could he be pulled here in a prison van?

Su Wu knew that at this moment, on the city walls, apart from high-ranking military generals, the more elite the bandits were, the more believers they had!
Su Wu wanted to hold a disenchantment ceremony in front of these people.

Su Wu was seen holding the horse whip upside down and pushing Fang La hard with one hand.

Fang La stumbled a few steps, fell to the ground, turned to look at Su Wu and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Su Wu held the whip in his right hand upside down and raised it violently, whipping hard.

Fang La subconsciously raised his hands to protect his face, and then he let out a scream, but he still said: "How could you treat me like this? How could you whip me?"

Su Wu waved his whip repeatedly, and said: "Holy Lord? God and Buddha's protection? Hmm? Pretending? Hmm?"

Su Wu kept whipping with the whip in his hand, using all his strength every time. This exorcism ritual was not only for the believers on the city wall to see, but also to let Fang La know what the situation and situation were at the moment.
Perhaps it was because Su Wu had been too courteous to Fang La in the past and his face was too good.

If Fang La could see the situation clearly and there were still a few strong cities, how could Su Wu be willing to let his soldiers risk their lives again?

It was indeed the case that the previous method was wrong. He was too respectful and sympathetic to Fang La. What's more, he really could not communicate with Fang La, and his thinking was not on the same channel as Su Wu.

Let's do something direct, in a language that everyone can understand.

Seeing Fang La rolling on the ground, Su Wu could not help but roll on the ground too. He chased after him and whipped him with the horsewhip in his hand.

Every time he struck, Fang La wailed in pain.

Su Wu seemed to be venting his anger, and it was obvious that he couldn't stop after just a few hits. He just kept chasing the person rolling on the ground and hitting him.

In a moment, Fang La's body was covered with blood. A small amount of bloodstains were reflected on his clothes, which were covered by the mud on the ground.

Then the horsewhip lashed down, pulling away the soil and tearing the clothes, revealing bright red flesh and blood.

And Su Wu's cold words: "You bastard, you are a prisoner, but you still want to speak in a pretentious way. I'm talking to you nicely, but you don't understand!"

Fang La quickly responded while screaming: "What do you want me to do? What do you want me to do?"

After hearing these words, Su Wu whipped his horse even more continuously, crackling back and forth. Looking at Fang La's face again, he no longer had those pretentious expressions. He was in pain, wailing, and even begging!

Su Wu whipped him for who knows how long. He took a short break, glanced at the man on the ground, and said, "Are there any gods or Buddhas protecting you?"

Fang La, who was lying on the ground, also looked at Su Wu and shook his head subconsciously.

Su Wu raised his head to look at the top of the city wall again and shouted: "Did you see everything clearly? Did you see it? Is this guy rolling on the ground your holy prince?"

No one on the city wall answered, everyone was silent. Du Wei frowned and remained silent for a while.

Su Wu also said: "Maybe I haven't seen it clearly yet!"

Su Wu raised his horse whip and hit the person on the ground again. Fang La subconsciously rolled over to avoid it, but there was no way to avoid it, and he screamed again.

Su Wu chased after him and whipped him a few more times, then said, "Stand up, stand straight and raise your head!"

The whip stopped again, Su Wu glared at the man on the ground, watching him get up step by step and stand still. Although his movements were cooperative, his attitude was wrong, his movements were too slow, and he hadn't even raised his head.

Su Wu's horse whip went sideways again, and it was this whip that made Fang La immediately raise his head to look at the top of the city wall.

Fan Yun walked over, grabbed Fang La's messy hair, forced Fang La's face to face the top of the city wall, and shouted, "Yes or no?"

Du Wei, who was already pale on the top of the city wall, answered subconsciously: "No! It's not my Holy Lord!"

Du Wei looked around a few times and said, "This man is not the Holy Archbishop!"

No?

Su Wu laughed out of anger, threw away his whip, drew his sword from his waist, walked to Fang La, and said to him without shouting, "I didn't expect you to be not Fang La. I must have caught the wrong person. Well, since you are not Fang La, then Fang La must have escaped, and you are just a substitute. Then I will kill you here and use you as a sacrifice to attack the city!"

After Su Wu said this, Fan Yun took the order and grabbed Fang La's hair, raised his leg to kick Fang La's calf, and wanted to force Fang La to kneel on the ground so that Su Wu could chop off his head.

But Fang La suddenly shouted to the top of the city wall: "Du Wei, Du Wei, I am the Holy Lord Fang La. How dare you not recognize me when you see me?"

On the top of the city wall, Du Wei's face turned even paler. He looked around and saw only armored thieves standing there in a daze...

How can believers and worshippers not recognize their own gods?
Su Wu also asked with a smile: "Du Wei, is he Fang La? If not, then I will kill him as a sacrifice!"

Du Wei still didn't answer. This had nothing to do with loyalty. He just asked, how should he answer this?

It was Fang La who was beside Su Wu who answered: "General, I am Fang La. I am... General, just bring all the officials and generals who were with me here, and also bring... Fang Jie, the body of Fang Jie..."

Su Wu glanced at Fang La who was extremely anxious, and asked: "Why do you have to do this? This is a respectable matter, why do you have to do this?"

Fang La came over immediately with a crying voice and said, "General, it's my fault, it's my fault!"

Su Wu nodded: "Tell Du Wei and everyone in the city to open the city and surrender, and you can save your life!"

"Hmm?" Fang La hesitated again.

Fan Yun didn't seem to have as much patience as Su Wu, and he said angrily: "General, just kill this guy, my brothers and I will climb the wall first!"

Su Wu looked up at Du Wei again, then at Fang La, and then looked down at his well-maintained sword.

Fan Yun has forced Fang La to kneel down again!

But Fang La suddenly shouted again in a hurry: "Du Wei, brothers, open the city and surrender. General Su has ordered that you be spared!"

"Shout louder!" Su Wu said softly.

Fang La immediately shouted again: "Open the city, surrender! Brothers, go back home and live your life..."

"You are a better liar than me... shout, keep shouting!" Su Wu smiled slightly. He did not promise anyone that they could go home and live their life in peace. That was not possible.

"Surrender! The Yongle Kingdom is destroyed, it is gone! The Holy Archbishop Fang La has also surrendered!" Fang La shouted heartbreakingly.

Su Wu was putting away his sword. At this time, Fang La was the good Fang La. He could say everything and knew what to say.

Su Wu also said something that was heart-breaking: "If you want to die, that's fine..."

As he said this, Su Wu turned around, picked up the horsewhip he had thrown away, held it in his hand, then turned over to mount the horse. Sitting on the horse, he took a short breath. The whipping had actually taken a lot of energy, and he was still angry, so he felt much better now.

Fang La was still shouting: "In the name of the Holy Lord, I order you to open the city and surrender. This is the will of heaven!"

There had already been a commotion on the city wall, with many people at a loss, many looking pale, and many feeling restless.

Someone beside Du Wei also asked anxiously: "General Du, what should we do?"

Du Wei didn't know what to do. He still looked around, as if he was unwilling to surrender.

If they don't surrender, looking around, the morale of the people has already changed drastically.

Du Wei, who was at a loss for a moment, also shouted: "Holy Lord, Holy Lord... Why have you come to this?"

This is a sigh. Even if we say that this person is not the Holy Archbishop, it is meaningless. There are countless people who have seen the Holy Archbishop, or even walked around the Holy Archbishop in the past...

How could such a great saint come to this?
Fang La, with tears on his face, also responded: "The city has been broken to this point. How could I have imagined that it would come to this?"

Du Wei asked again: "Saint Lord, do you really want to surrender?"

Fang La nodded and said helplessly: "Surrender..."

Du Wei was also crying, saying, "Saint Lord, if you hadn't come, we would still be able to fight and defend the city!"

"It will only increase casualties..." Fang La actually walked forward.

Fan Yun followed behind him.

Su Wu raised his hand and signaled that a few more people should go.

Du Wei cried and said, "Holy Lord, is this all we have to do?"

"Forget it..." Fang La walked closer and his voice gradually became quieter.

Du Wei asked again, "Brothers, are we done with this?"

The people around him looked at him, but no one answered. Continue the fight? Or just forget it? Du Wei was undecided, so who was going to make the decision?
On the top of the city wall, there was total silence, with only the gurgling sound of boiling oil and the stench of gold juice filling the air.

The dignity of the Holy Archbishop, the protection of gods and Buddhas, the victory in every battle, the destiny, the ability to change the world, all turned out to be a dream.

For those believers, the sky was collapsing before their eyes. They felt as if all the strength they had was suddenly drained away, and their heads were buzzing...

Fang La was still shouting: "Let all the brothers go home..."

Du Wei looked left, right, and down...

"Surrender!" Fang La's voice.

"Surrender..." Du Wei murmured.

The people on the left and right seemed to hear it clearly, but also seemed not to hear it clearly, and stood there in a daze.

But Su Wu said, "Come on, pass the order to the back, beat the drums and march forward to attack the city!"

Fang La immediately wiped the tears from his face and shouted: "Du Wei, surrender quickly!"

Fang La obviously knew that if the city was really attacked, that would be the end of his life.

What other way can a useless person survive?

The soldiers were riding fast and galloping away.

Su Wu ordered: "Bring that fellow back, let's go!"

Fan Yun received the order and together with several others, they held up Fang La's left and right hands, and two others held up Fang La's legs, and finally lifted Fang La upside down.

Fang La even shouted: "Du Wei, hurry up, open the city and surrender!"

Su Wu has already turned his horse around and left!
Then Du Wei shouted from the top of the city wall: "Surrender, surrender, open the city gate!"

Su Wu stopped and turned to look. He saw Du Wei shouting on the top of the city wall, which seemed to be the order to open the city gates and urge the bandits to leave quickly.

Su Wu grinned, but still whispered: "Trouble!"

Then he said, "Fan Yun, put Fang La down, stand still, and wait for Du Wei to come and reminisce with him..."

Fan Yun did as he was told and smiled: "General, it is quite troublesome. It would be much easier if we just attacked the city!"

Su Wu smiled and said: "Brothers, the battle was tough, that's all, just go home early!"

"Brothers may not think so..." Fan Yun smiled.

Su Wu nodded. He understood Fan Yun's intention. Perhaps there were many people waiting to be the first to achieve success, to be promoted to higher positions, and to receive generous rewards...

Not long after, the city gate opened, and Du Wei was the first to rush out, with his armor off and his weapons unarmed. He ran out quickly and came to Fang La's side.

Su Wu was too lazy to look, so he rode his horse back and just asked Fan Yun to keep an eye on it. He ordered his soldiers to go ahead, and Wang Yuan brought many soldiers to support them.

Just looking at the city gate, the bandits were coming out one by one, empty-handed, dejected, and as numerous as zombies.

Su Wu just rode his horse back to the general's platform.

Liu Yanqing had already been waiting under the general's platform, and many military generals and marquises were bowing to him.

Su Wu also responded: "You are all too polite. Manager Liu, there is absolutely no need to do this."

Liu Yanqing smiled and replied: "We have taken a big city without bloodshed, and we only need to go to Tonglu. In this way, Muzhou has been taken. Under General Su's plan, Shezhou will be taken soon. The bandits in the south of the two Zhejiangs will be eliminated!"

"There is a new city, but I'm afraid it won't be so smooth sailing in the new city." Su Wu frowned and thought.

"General, are you worried about Mr. Tan?" Liu Yanqing asked.

Su Wu shook his head: "I am not worried about Tan Zhen, but the thief leader in Xincheng, who may be different from Du Wei."

Who is in Xincheng? Shi Bao, Deng Yuanjue, let alone others, Deng Yuanjue is really hard to figure out. This monk is really not a sleazy person.

"If it's a tough battle, the last one, then it doesn't matter," Liu Yanqing said.

Su Wu nodded: "Yes, it's the last battle, no problem!"

At this time, Su Wu had no idea how much health he had restored to the Song Dynasty. By retaining these few combat-capable soldiers from the northwest, he would have more confidence when facing Liao and Jin in the future.

"General Su, the war may not be a big deal. What about Mr. Tan?" Liu Yanqing asked. He also knew that there was indeed a problem.

"Ignore him. Just hurry along. Armourers and infantry, board the boats and sail downstream. I have already sent a letter to Wang Xun, asking him to lead the troops to gather at Xincheng. At this point, Tan Zhen should know that he is powerless to do anything."

Su Wu only thought about things.

Liu Yanqing was thinking about something else: "I'm afraid Mr. Tan still wants to take advantage of me..."

"I have already offended him to this extent, what should I worry about? As for you, when the time comes, you should go to Tan Zhen's tent for a visit..." Su Wu knew people's hearts and feelings very well, and he also knew what people like Liu Yanqing would worry about. He was just magnanimous and considered everything for them.

Liu Yanqing said awkwardly: "I am so ashamed..."

Su Wu waved his hands: "Don't be ashamed of anything. The court is like this. The ups and downs of officialdom are already difficult. We are all soldiers. We are people who bow our heads and do things. I will offend you, but you don't have to. Life is short, just like the plants and trees in autumn. How difficult it is!"

Liu Yanqing bowed, and the generals on the left and right followed suit. Liu Yanqing sighed and said, "I thought you were upright and incorruptible, and you know that life is difficult, and you can still sympathize with us. Thank you, General Su!"

Su Wu also sighed: "As soldiers, we will live and die together, so we should not let each other down. As for the rest... I have a clear conscience, I have no regrets, I have no regrets for the court, I have no regrets for the country, I have no regrets for the emperor, and I have no regrets for you all!"

Su Wu bowed.

"I will definitely not let you down!" Liu Yanqing immediately returned the gift.

"We will never let each other down!" everyone said.

Su Wu nodded: "Before we get to Xincheng, let's stay in Tonglu and share some with you..."

Liu Yanqing didn't realize it for a moment: "Huh?"

"Share it. After the battle, we all have to go home to live our lives. How can I keep all the money and things to myself? This is the last round. After the division, you will feel at ease and I will not be ashamed of your kindness. After returning home, everyone can live a good life for a few days. The soldiers can buy some things for their families, and you can buy more strong bows, crossbows, armor, weapons, and horses. Get more horses."

Su Wu spoke slowly and seriously.

How could everyone not feel touched and grateful in their hearts?

Liu Yanqing even said: "On behalf of the generals and soldiers under my command, I would like to express my deep gratitude to General Su for his unparalleled kindness!"

Liu Yanqing was really bowing down, and Su Wu was not going to accept it, so he just went to help him.

Liu Yanqing was unwilling to bow, but Su Wu came to support him vigorously, saying, "When you get the money and go back, you must buy more supplies for the army!"

How could Liu Yanqing not hear the deep meaning behind Su Wu's words? He asked, "General, what are you saying..."

Su Wu looked around and nodded, "Yes, it won't take long, maybe a year at most... This matter is a secret of the court, but I'm going to the capital this time, and I don't know what will happen in the future, so I'll just tell you all that our Song Dynasty and Liao will definitely go to war, and you all must make preparations early when you go back!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a huge uproar was caused, and everyone in the room was stunned.

Liu Yanqing subconsciously wanted to ask "Are you serious?", but he didn't ask. He knew that General Su would not talk nonsense, so this matter must be a done deal.

Su Wu looked around again and said, "You all know that I told you all this so that you can be well prepared after you return. The Liao people are not like the Fang La bandits, and they must be very good at fighting. I also think that if I go to the capital this time and end up badly, I won't be able to meet you again in the military battle in more than a year! All the wars depend on your orders..."

As he spoke, Su Wu was very sad, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes...

Just ask around, who doesn’t feel sad?
Liu Yanqing said, "No, no, General Su has made such a great contribution this time, he will definitely be promoted after entering the capital!"

"Yes, yes, yes, a promotion!"

"General Su has been promoted step by step, and his position has been raised. The emperor is wise, how could he not know that General Su is devoted to the country? He must be given an important position!"

……

Everyone rushed to speak.

Su Wu smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile. He waved his hands and said, "I am a soldier... how can I talk about so many things? Whatever those gentlemen discuss, it will determine my fate..."

With these words, combined with Su Wu's expression, doesn't it seem even more sad at this moment?

Where is the joy of victory in taking a big city without bloodshed?
I just want to ask, how moving is Su Wu at this time?

But Su Wu suddenly laughed heartily: "Haha... just kidding, a real man, I am not afraid of swords, fire, and death! I am unreasonably hypocritical today, please forgive me."

Liu Yanqing shook his head: "Hey, General Su, there is nothing hypocritical about it. This is the difficulty for us!"

Su Wu still had a cheerful look on his face: "Alright, alright, there must be a lot of money and food in Jiande City. All the captives must be registered and strictly guarded. You all go and do your work. I'll take a break and have a good sleep. Tomorrow morning, only one part will be left here to guard. The whole army will set out and go straight to Tonglu City, which is more than a hundred miles away. It will take one day for the cavalry and two days for the infantry. Everyone must arrive. Don't be late. If you are late, you will be killed!"

Everyone bowed and said, "Yes, sir!"

Liu Yanqing received the order and said, "General, go and have a good sleep."

Su Wu nodded, left the general's platform, and someone led the way to a quiet military tent.

I really want to sleep whenever I want. From yesterday in Qingxi to today in Jiande, I am really exhausted.

Fang La returned to the prison car again. Countless soldiers from various tribes and armies gathered around to watch, as if they were watching a monkey show. If it weren't for the armored guards on both sides, the soldiers would have even tried to tease him.

This was obviously what Su Wu intended. Fang La was a respectable guy, but he didn't want him anymore, so he might as well destroy him completely to make it easier for him to act later.

The soldiers were also excited when they saw Fang La. They had traveled thousands of miles to fight for this man, and now they had really captured him. Aren't they excited?
Wouldn't it make people angry if you claim it is destiny?
In the conversations between them, there was always abuse and ridicule.

Who the hell do you think you are? Just because you have some ability, you dare to pretend to be a god and ascend the throne to be an emperor...

He looked no different, ugly, old, and weak, with scars all over his body, and he even had ointment applied on him, but he looked no different from the prisoners in the cell.
One group finishes watching and leaves, and another group comes to continue watching. The words come and go, and it’s almost the same.

Fang La just lowered his head, remained silent, and let his messy hair cover his entire face...

On the river, large and small ships came and went. Zhu Tong and many navy troops were very busy transporting people and goods from Qingxi.

In the midst of the busyness, many generals were sitting together in the camp in the middle of the night. Su Wu was still sleeping soundly. If he was not here, he would not wake up until at least the second half of the night. Fan Yun and others were also sleeping.

Liu Yanqing said: "General Su is really not like an ordinary person..."

Wang Yuan also nodded: "Yes, in Jiande City, we roughly counted out 2 million strings of cash and goods, but he didn't ask a single question and just put them in our hands..."

Yang Weizhong also nodded: "Who said it wasn't true? He offended people on his own initiative, and we will get no less benefits..."

"Prime Minister Tong Shu really knows people!" Liu Yanqing's words praised everyone present.

"It was also because of the Prime Minister that he treated Tan Zhen so badly." Wang Yuan said.

Liu Yanqing changed the subject: "What do you think of the confidential matter that General Su mentioned?"

Everyone looked at each other for a few times, and Wang Yuan spoke first: "Now that you know, it's a good thing. As General Su said, when we go back this time, we will be well prepared. I just hope that when the time comes, I can still meet General Su on the battlefield."

"If I can meet with General Su at that time, I will feel more at ease about the war." Yang Weizhong said.

Liu Yanqing asked, "What if it is Mr. Tan?"

After asking this question, everyone in the tent took a deep breath...

I really can't imagine how we would fight a war with the Liao Kingdom if Tan Zhen was the commander in chief. How would we fight?

In this world, the more you fear something, the more likely it will come, and people will feel uneasy.

Liu Yanqing seemed to have realized that there was something wrong with his question, and immediately said, "No problem, no problem. When we get to Xincheng, let's all go with me to pay a visit to Mr. Tan..."

Everyone lowered their heads, but also spoke: "Alright, alright..."

Liu Yanqing immediately changed the subject: "If we want to storm the new city, you must fight for your lives!"

"That's natural!"

"Don't worry, whatever General Su points to, we will fight for our lives!"

Liu Yanqing nodded: "Well, this time let's just do it for the sake of friendship, so that people don't think that our Northwest Army and Fuyan Army are all heartless and ungrateful. Let's keep a good memory."

As he spoke, he felt sad again.

Everyone fell silent again.

As soon as it was light in the morning, the army set out, leaving Yang Weizhong in Jiande to continue to deal with the aftermath.

Su Wu, ride away quickly!

Tonglu is located where two waters meet. To the east is the Zhejiang waterway, and to the north is the Tianmu waterway, a tributary of Zhejiang, which sandwiches the city at the mouth of the water.

Although the boat was extremely convenient, Su Wu and his men arrived in one day. The boat also arrived very quickly, having departed from Qingxi the day before.

Even Liu Guangshi's 8,000 troops came, and Wang Yin and many captives were also brought.

The navy also blocked the waterways to the north and east in order to prevent any news from reaching the new city.

In the darkness of night, the camp was set up.

How could the people in the city not know that the government troops were coming?
Who is in the city? It is Si Xingfang, the Grand Marshal of the Nation, who has retired from the battlefield in Hangzhou, and Li Tianyou, the younger brother of Li Tianrun, the Grand Marshal of the Nation.

The two groups of troops each claimed to have 100,000 men, which means there were as many as 200,000 men.

As for the exact number, there is no actual figure. Su Wu guessed that in fact, each of them was around 30,000 to 50,000, and when added together, it was about 60,000 to 80,000.

Moreover, there are few elite soldiers among them, and most of them wear gray cloth and linen clothes.

This city should not be difficult to capture if we really attack it by force.

As soon as the sky brightened, Su Wu would, as usual, ride his horse around the city to conduct reconnaissance.

Si Xingfang had also been on the top of the city wall early to observe the situation of the government troops.

After only one look at the banner, Si Xingfang frowned: "It's Su Wu himself who has come!"

Who is Su Wu? Other titles are not important. He is the man who defeated Si Xingfang under the city of Hangzhou.

On the side is Li Tianyou. After his brother disappeared, no one knew whether he was dead or alive. He must have died in the battle. Now, the army of the Grand Marshal of the Nation is led by Li Tianyou.

Li Tianyou didn't frown, but hatred was on his face: "Su Wu is here just in time to avenge my brother!"

Si Xingfang said, "Why did Su Wu suddenly appear here? I wonder what happened to Jiande and Qingxi cities?"

Li Tianyou replied: "It must be impregnable. If there was a defeat, how could we not see some remnants of the defeated army coming? Since there are no remnants of the defeated army fleeing, it must be that Su Wu was helpless and could not take two cities, so he came to attack Tonglu and wanted to give it a try here."

Actually, it makes sense. Si Xingfang nodded and said, "Then let's teach him a lesson. He has occupied the waterway and can come and go freely. He thinks that he can achieve great success by marching alone. It's really a foolish dream!"

But looking outside the city, the cavalry that had been running around the city had already retreated, and there was no sound of drums or trumpets in the military camp.

Li Tianyou said, "It seems that he is making a long-term plan. There is no rush. There is plenty of food and grass in the city, so let's fight him! When I find an opportunity, I will avenge my brother!"

Si Xingfang nodded: "I'll give you a chance to take revenge, and it's really here! Let's go down to the city..."

Just turn around and leave...

At noon, the two men went up to the top of the city wall again and looked into the distance. They saw countless government troops coming from west to east.

Li Tianyou frowned and asked, "Could it be that the siege of Qingxi and Jiande has been lifted? Is Su Wu's entire army coming to attack Tonglu first?"

"I'm afraid it's true!" Si Xingfang nodded.

"It must be that the government troops retreated in Qingxi and Jiande because of the difficulty. Marshal Si, does Su Wu really think that he has defeated us and that he thinks we are a soft persimmon to be squeezed?" Li Tianyou said with gritted teeth.

Si Xingfang was a little more worried: "In this case, we should send people to ask for help as soon as possible. Jiande and Qingxi should send reinforcements!"

Li Tianyou raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Why should we be afraid of Su Wu? How many tens of thousands of soldiers can he have? We have 200,000 people in the city. Can we be afraid of him?"

"We should ask for help." Si Xingfang was still unsure. The ferociousness of Su Wu's troops was still before his eyes.

"I don't think it's necessary! Just let him fight!" Li Tianyou was still unwilling to accept and feel indignant.

Si Xingfang glanced at him and did not argue. He just turned around and nodded. Someone would go and handle this matter. He would definitely ask for help from both sides, from Jiande and Qingxi, and also from Xincheng, to make sure everything is safe.

But outside the city, the drums suddenly started beating. It was already mid-afternoon, and the soldiers and horses were mostly from far away. They didn't rest or check the time, but started beating the drums...

Si Xingfang was stunned. How could they attack the city at this hour? Didn't the people who just arrived need to rest?
Li Tianyou was delighted: "You underestimated us. Great, great, it's great to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly!"

Just look outside the city and you’ll see that the government troops have really begun to form their battle formations!
I also saw a group of armored knights, about a hundred of them, coming directly to the top of the city, with infantry behind them...

No, they were not infantrymen, but a lot of people in ragged clothes were tied together, and the infantrymen in armor were driving them...

Si Xingfang's heart tightened, he looked from afar and asked, "That is..."

Li Tianyou just said: "He wants to use the former captives as shields, thinking that we can't kill him! Si Yuanshai, don't worry about it, just let my men shoot him!"

He saw another prisoner cart slowly coming. This time, Su Wu was obviously not so troublesome and complicated. He just pushed Fang La to the front. Many civil and military officials were there, as well as Fang Jie's body and Du Wei's body.

And there is Wang Yin, who is the one speaking. Today, Su Wu is too lazy to even waste his breath.

As soon as everything became clear, Si Xingfang could find the problem and said, "No, no, something is wrong!"

"What's wrong?" Li Tianyou asked.

"Who is the leader? Isn't that... Minister Wang?" Si Xingfang had already recognized the acquaintance.

"Is it him? He didn't collude with others, he surrendered to the enemy?" Li Tianyou was about to get furious, he looked around and was ready to draw his bow and shoot someone.

Si Xingfang hurried over to stop him: "Don't worry, don't worry, just be patient!"

(Brothers, please give me a ticket for the beginning of the month! Love you guys!)
