snowstorm

Dai County.

The flames of war raged outside the city.

Xie Fu was sitting in the tent, holding a royal decree sent from the Beiliang royal court in his hand, and the eunuch who was standing next to deliver the letter, his face was full of disdain at this moment.Xie Fu sneered, then tore open the letter, looked at it with a glance, and finally he couldn't help sneering out loud.

That man was still so arrogant and vicious.He ordered him to defend Daijun to the death and fight until there is only one soldier left. If all the soldiers are dead, the people in the city will be on top.

There was a candlestick burning on the desk, Xie Fu raised his eyebrows, and then he put the bright yellow cloth on the candle flame, the candle flame surged up, and after a while, only a few ashes remained.

The eunuch was dumbfounded, he pointed at Xie Fu with trembling fingers, his face was as ferocious as a ghost: "Dan, Qi, this is the imperial decree of the king, you, you are bold!"

Xie Fu looked at him with a smile on his face, his eyes were full of coldness, he said: "Come here."

One person entered the tent, Xie Fu pointed at the eunuch, and lightly uttered a sentence: "This person confuses the morale of the army, behead him."

The eunuch's eyes opened even bigger, he pointed at Xie Fu's hand and trembled more violently: "You, how dare you! I am a close minister of the king—"

The soldier also raised his head, looking at Xie Fu with some embarrassment.Xie Fu spit out two more words expressionlessly: "Behead."

The soldier gritted his teeth and said: "Yes!" After saying that, he covered the eunuch's mouth and dragged him out.

Before the eunuch could react, his head fell to the ground.

The soldier came back to reply, Xie Fu nodded, and said again: "Send the order down, retreat. Withdraw to Chen Jun."

The soldier opened his eyes wide, Xie Fu looked at him quietly, and said: "There is no point in holding on any longer. Retreat."

The soldier was stunned for a moment, then saluted respectfully, and said, "Yes!"

Xie Fu calmly led more than 1000 soldiers from Liao County and more than [-] soldiers from Shoudai County to Chen County.Lu Jue's march was extremely fast this time. As soon as Xie Fu and the others entered the city gate of Chen County, the guarding soldiers above the city tower saw the "Sheng" and "Lu" flags fluttering from afar.The soldiers guarding the city looked at the flag and couldn't help trembling.

Lu Jue has completely defeated them, defeated their elite, and completely defeated their morale.Xie Fu seemed to have expected this a long time ago, so he calmly ordered the soldiers to resist passively, and within five days, he led them to retreat to the next county.

The next city was guarded for three days, and the next one for only one day.King Beiliang's orders were delivered one after another quickly, but in the end they were all burned to ashes by Xie Fu.

Finally, they withdrew to the last Xu County.The orders that the king of Beiliang sent to Xie Fu were nothing but hysterical abuse and completely irrational orders: he wanted them to force the people of Xu County to leave the city to face Lu Jue's army.

night.The bonfire burned miserably, making crackling noises.

Xie Fu sat by the bonfire, sweeping past the tired and embarrassed generals and soldiers one by one.

Xie Fu stood up, and several generals looked up at him with concern on their faces.Xie Fu stood by the bonfire, the flames were burning in his pitch-black pupils, he said loudly: "You guys, do you want to save Beiliang?"

There was an uproar followed by complete silence.Those generals opened their eyes wide and looked at him, full of shock.

A general broke the silence, he looked closely at Xie Fu: "Why did the general say that?"

Xie Fu raised his eyebrows, candlelight and shadows danced on his face, he said: "Your king is a complete lunatic, he will lead Beiliang to destruction."

"step, step"

Those generals and soldiers stood up one after another, looking at Xie Fu neatly with different expressions.

Xie Fu didn't care about the expressions on their faces, he just said: "He ordered us to fight to the last person, he said that Beiliang would only open the gate to our dead bodies after the battle. He also wanted me to force the people of Xu County to go out of the city to fight .”

"You know, it's going to be infamous forever."

"More importantly, this will anger Lu Jue. Lu Jue originally only wanted to get back the six counties of Yanguan that originally belonged to Dasheng. If he followed the king's order—"

Xie Fu paused and said: "——Lu Jue will lead troops to attack the royal court in Beiliang."

"Your king will bring this country into the abyss."

There was silence.All that remains is the sound of crackling bonfires burning.

Because what Xie Fu said is true.

A general gritted his teeth, and finally said, "The general thinks, what should we do?"

Hearing his question, Xie Fu finally had a cold and strange smile on his face, under the reflection of the bonfire, he didn't seem like a human being in this world.

He said: "He only thinks about his own ambitions, he doesn't care about the people of this country at all—he is not worthy to be your king—" After a pause, Xie Fu's voice suddenly sank, but it seemed to have a fatal tone. He paused every word and said loudly: "If you don't deserve it, then——pull him down!"

Several generals and soldiers present looked at Xie Fu with their eyes wide open, but none of them could say a word.

Xie Fu scanned the faces in front of him and said, "Are you willing to follow me to do this?"

There was a moment of silence.

Finally, a general half-kneeled suddenly, fisted at Xie Fu, his eyes were red, and he said loudly: "But according to the general's order!"

Then, the others half-kneeled one after another, their faces reflected by the bonfire, they looked at Xie Fu: "But according to the general's order!"

The loud shouts made the soaring bonfire flicker.

Xie Fu looked at them, with a smile on his face, the fire was shining brightly in those dark eyes, he said: "Okay."
