Jincheng flower hour

At night, Liu Hong returned and hurried to have dinner with Zhuang Yang.Zhuang Yang noticed that the hem of Liu Hong's robe was stained with blood, and his worried eyes fell on it.Liu Hong pulled up the hem of his robe, revealing the trousers under the robe, and said, "Erlang, it's not my blood."

It was just an attack on the delivery team, how could he be injured, and he was not so easily injured.

Seeing that there were indeed no new wounds on Liu Hong's body, Zhuang Yang felt at ease eating with Liu Hong.

The food brought by the cook was cold and reheated.Zhuang Yang was not worried that someone would poison him, but just wanted to have dinner with Liu Hong.

Before the case, Liu Hong devoured and ate in a hurry, and he didn't even have a few words with Zhuang Yang. After filling his stomach, he left again, talking about his father's business.

Tomorrow there will be a large-scale attack on Jinguan City, tens of thousands of people need to be mobilized, and many things need to be arranged.

In war, Zhuang Yang can only be regarded as talking on paper. The King of Han has world-class advisers and generals. Zhuang Yang will not have better advice than them, but Zhuang Yang is very concerned about the movements of the Han army, because it is closely related to himself and Liu The family members in Honghe Jinguan City.

That night Liu Hong went out to discuss matters, Zhuang Yang waited in the tent, and Liu Hong didn't come back until early morning.

Zhuang Yang took off the armor for Liu Hong, Liu Hong took a bath, and Zhuang Yang sat aside, and the two whispered in the water vapor.

Talking about the situation of going out to battle during the day, about the distribution of autumn clothes for soldiers, and the food for tonight, it is so natural to talk about everyday things.

After cleaning, Liu Hong stepped out of the wooden basin, took the towel from Zhuang Yang to wipe himself, and suddenly said to Zhuang Yang: "Tomorrow, after the city is broken, Dachun will be sent to the villa first."

Make sure that the dealer is safe and sound, and by the way, Dachun and his family of three can also be reunited.

This is what Zhuang Yang is most worried about, while Liu Hong already has a plan.

"The military discipline of the Han army is strict, and we are not afraid of looting and killing, but we are afraid that when the Shu army retreats, they will plunder along the way."

Zhuang Yang stayed in Liu Hong's tent for two days. He knew the military discipline of the Han army, but he was very worried that the Shu soldiers would loot when they retreated.

"Erlang, once Jinguan City is owned by our army, the soldiers will never be allowed to burn, kill and plunder."

What they want to occupy is not only the land of Shu, but also the hearts of the people of Shu.

The cavalry team of the Han army is very strong, and many fierce generals and warriors from Longxi have been recruited. As long as they enter Jinguan City, the Shu soldiers will be quickly driven out and driven away.

Liu Hong casually put on a close-fitting plain robe, tied the belt, and walked to the desk, on which was a map of Jinguan City.Liu Hong marked a few points on the map and whispered to Zhuang Yang that there were abandoned water canals at these locations.

This matter is hidden, Zhuang Yang knows that Liu Hong can't say more, and the role of the secret channel is clear to Zhuang Yang, so Zhuang Yang nodded.

Tonight, in the tent of the King of Han, the King of Han left the military division and Liu Hong alone to finalize the battle strategy.

Tomorrow's battle, when the Shu soldiers see the Han army coming out in full force, they will definitely send troops out of the city to engage in a diplomatic war.At this time, the Han army did not attack the city, but gathered towards the north gate.When night fell, the Han army organized another large-scale attack. This time they mainly attacked the north gate, just to divert the attention of the Shu soldiers, and then asked a soldier to bring earth-digging tools and sneak to the foot of the east city to dig the root of the wall. The location of the old canal was excavated.

The hearts of the people in Jinguan City are scattered, and the newly recruited and forced soldiers are not good at fighting, and many soldiers are unwilling to fight. Once the Han army enters the city through secret passages, the Shu soldiers will inevitably be in chaos.

"Is this a secret report?"

Zhuang Yang is a native of Jinguan City, but he has never heard that there are several old water canals in Jinguan City.

"That's right, and there are also merchants who escaped from the city and came to offer advice saying that there are secret passages in the city."

Liu Hong felt that it was a lesson to be learned. If the king of Shu had not been greedy and domineering during the ten years of his rule, but cared for his people, and let the people of Shu live a prosperous life as they deserved, then when the Han army approached, Jin Guan would be defeated. In the city, the government and the people will be united and unbreakable.It will definitely not be the situation that is so devastating today.

"I think the merchants have used this old canal to sell goods, so they will know."

Zhuang Yang understands merchants, they are very shrewd people who attach great importance to their own interests, especially the merchants in Jinguan City, who have been treated harshly by the King of Shu for many years, have different ideas.

Liu Hong said with a smile: "If he wins tomorrow, he must be rewarded well."

He is accustomed to fighting, and he will naturally lead his troops to participate in the battle tomorrow, and he is also the general of the main force.

Zhuang Yang was not as enthusiastic as Liu Hong, and he couldn't stop Liu Hong from participating in the battle. This battle was too important for Han.

Zhuang Yang touched Liu Hong's finger and sighed: "Your hand injury is not healed."

Liu Hong hugged Zhuang Yang into his arms and comforted him: "You can hold a sword without a bow and arrow."

He had promised Erlang that he would no longer take risks and disregard himself in order to win.

"Hiro, it's time to sleep."

This is something that Zhuang Yang has no choice but to worry about.Zhuang Yang brought a towel and helped Liu Hong wipe his hair.Liu Hong immediately sat quietly, letting Zhuang Yang brush his hair.Liu Hong was a man who had no distractions when talking about military affairs, but at this moment, all his distracting thoughts came to the fore again.Zhuang Yang dried his hair and helped Liu Hong tidy up his messy hair. Zhuang Yang looked calm, while Liu Hong's eyes moved between Zhuang Yang's lips and collar, showing undisguised enthusiasm.

Liu Hong cupped Zhuang Yang's face and kissed, his fingers were not honestly wandering around Zhuang Yang's body.

Zhuang Yang pulled Liu Hong's hand away and extinguished the candle beside him.

The tent was suddenly dark, Zhuang Yang was picked up and fell into Liu Hong's arms, and the two hugged and kissed together.

Zhuang Yang should have refused, and Liu Hong should take a good rest in tomorrow's battle.But he couldn't bear to reject Liu Hong, especially on the eve of the war.

Zhuang Yang has no way of knowing what the battle will be like tomorrow, and his leg injury also makes him have to stay in the tent and wait for news.Zhuang Yang knew that Liu Hong led the most elite cavalry in the Han army, and he was facing the fiercest battle, fighting against the main force of the Shu army.What's more, Liu Hong took the lead in the battle, leaving behind injuries all over his body, which is even more worrying.

That night, the wind howled outside the tent, and the cold wind penetrated directly into the tent. Liu Hong blocked the cold wind with his body, and hugged Zhuang Yang tightly with his strong arms.

At dawn, Zhuang Yang leaned against the mat and fell asleep exhausted.Liu Hong unscrewed the wet wipes, helped Zhuang Yang wipe his body, and put on a clean shirt.

On the second day, Zhuang Yang woke up, the sun was shining in the tent, Zhuang Yang found that he had changed clothes, but there was no figure of Liu Hong beside the table.

Zhuang Yang sat up and looked for Liu Hong, and saw that Liu Hong was fully dressed and sitting in front of the wooden table to eat.

It was not until noon at this time, and there was a lot of noise outside the tent.

Liu Hong gulped down his food, he seemed to be in good spirits, he should wake up soon.

"Erlang, sleep more."

Seeing that Zhuang Yang woke up, Liu Hong looked at him with concern.

"Ahiro, are you leaving?"

Zhuang Yang dressed and combed his hair, he didn't want to sleep so late by himself, although it should be blamed on the person who was eating a big meal next to the case.

"Another quarter of an hour."

Liu Hong finished a portion of steamed rice and drank half a bowl of meat soup.He hurriedly left the wooden case, fetched the armor and put it on.

Zhuang Yang went over to help Liu Hong tie the ropes for his armor, and he tied them tightly everywhere, lest there be any looseness.

As soon as Liu Hong put on his armor, soldiers came in to tell the army that they were about to leave.

Liu Hong took the long sword from Zhuang Yang and tied it on his body. He said goodbye to Zhuang Yang and said, "Erlang is waiting in the camp. I will send soldiers to report the battle situation."

He didn't want Zhuang Yang to risk getting close to the battlefield, he would protect Zhuang Yang in a safe rear.

"it is good."

Zhuang Yang responded that he would wait here for the news of the war, no matter how anxious he was.

At this time, outside the tent, attendants brought horses and were waiting for Liu Hong.Liu Hong stepped out of the tent and jumped on the horse. He pulled the rein and looked back at Zhuang Yang, who was also watching him.

The two were silent, Liu Hong resolutely whipped his horse and left.

Zhuang Yang immediately chased after ten steps, forgetting about his leg injury for a while.Zhuang Yang saw Liu Hong galloping towards the center of the camp, where he joined a troop of cavalry, and then thousands of cavalry galloped away in a cloud of dust, regretting to leave.

Gradually, the generals led the troops to leave quickly, and the entire camp was empty, except for a few old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers.

Zhuang Yang walked towards Liu Hong's big tent at an extremely slow speed. Because he ran just now, the wound on his leg was split open, and the trousers were bloody. Every time he took a step, he felt severe pain.Outside Liu Hong's big tent, a guard was left behind, obviously to protect Zhuang Yang.Seeing that Zhuang Yang was struggling to walk, the guard went to help Zhuang Yang and brought Zhuang Yang back into the tent.

Going back to the account, sitting where Liu Hong had been sitting just now, looking at the food on the wooden table, Zhuang Yang calmed himself down and ate, but he really lost his appetite, like chewing white wax.

Feeling lost in his heart, he sat blankly in front of the desk, looking at the sleeping place where the two of them slept tenderly last night.After an unknown amount of time, Zhuang Yang heard the sound of drums in the distance. He stood up and sat down again.

He knew that the battle had begun.

Outside Jinguan City, the two armies of Shu and Han were fighting. Liu Hong and his father stood on the high ground and watched. They sat in the rear, looking calm and confident.

The Shu soldiers were vulnerable, and the Han soldiers pursued and killed them to the foot of the city.Sure enough, the remnants of the Shu soldiers retreated to the city, and dared not come out to fight again.

In the spring, he rode his horse, rushed to the high platform, and conveyed the good news to Liu Yu, king of Han.

The king of Han ordered the troops to gather at the north gate, not to act rashly, and wait for the order.

Not long after, another cavalry came to report that the Shu army had stationed a large number of troops at the north gate, and the Wei family and his son personally led the troops to sit at the north gate.

Hearing this news, the King of Han and Liu Hong were secretly happy.

The terrain of the north gate is high in the north and low in the south, with open surroundings, suitable for cavalry to attack, so even Wei Jia thought that this would be the main battlefield.

It is indeed the main battlefield, but the Han army is also making a lot of noise.

After night fell, Liu Hong led his troops from the high ground to the north gate, and the Shu soldiers stationed at the north gate, led by the general, fought back vigorously.Almost at the same time, a Han army team quietly approached the foot of the east wall and began to dig the root of the wall.It didn't take long for the Shu soldiers to discover the intention of the Han army, and began to throw stones and pour hot oil on the tower, but at this time the Han army's cowhide carts were already in place, and the Han soldiers hid under the cowhide carts, digging desperately.

The King of Han ordered that those who enter the city first will be rewarded with a heavy reward.

If it is a city wall, it is really difficult to dig, but the Han army dug the old canal, which is full of silt, loose and soft, and the progress is extremely fast.

It's not just one piece, but many.

When the generals of the Shu Kingdom felt that something was wrong and sent troops to encircle the east city wall, the battle between the Han army at the north gate and west gate became more intense.

Liu Hong went into battle in person, hoarse, and commanded the soldiers to attack the north gate. The heavy stone hammer and the towering ladder were broken.

The battle lasted until late at night, when the old canal at the foot of the east city wall was dug through, and the Han army rushed in. The Shu soldiers set up wooden weapons outside the passage to block them. At this time, most of the Shu soldiers were attracted to the east gate.

At the north gate, Liu Hong was knocked off his horse by a stone thrown from the city tower. Dachun hurriedly called for people to remove the stone together and rescued Liu Hong.Liu Hong was stunned and coughed up blood.The stone hit him obliquely in the side, thankfully he was wearing solid armor to cushion the impact.

Climbing back to the horse, Liu Hong only felt that something had been pierced into his abdomen, and he was sweating coldly from the pain.He still wanted to fight at first, but then he remembered Zhuang Yang's words: Don't do this again, you promise me.He retreated obediently, but he did not leave the battlefield immediately, but rode his horse to inspect the surroundings.

Many Han soldiers outside the east city wall had poured into the city, but the narrow old canal could not allow a large number of people to enter for a while, but the Shu soldiers in the city were obviously in chaos, and Wei Shuai, who was originally sitting on the tower, left angrily.

Liu Hong originally wanted to go to Ximen for inspection, but felt weak, so he covered his abdomen and blood from his hands.Not daring to make another mistake, he rode his horse back to the rear.

In the military doctor's tent, many wounded were wailing. Liu Hong entered alone and took off his armor silently.I don't know who it was, went to report that Prince Hong of the King of Han was injured, the King of Han rushed over, and saw Liu Hong lift up his robe, and Lao Qiu clamped an iron piece on Liu Hong's abdomen with a clamp.

Liu Hong screamed in pain, it was really painful.The two pieces of iron armor on the armor were directly inserted into the abdomen after impact.

"Wuji, you go to accompany brother."

The King of Han left Wuji by Liu Hong's side to take care of him, while he went to talk to Lao Qiu. This kind of injury can be big or small, even if Liu Hong is not said to be his own son, he is only treated as a subordinate. He is also one of the fierce generals of the King of Han .

It is not surprising that Lao Qiu suffered a lot of injuries on the battlefield. If ordinary people asked him, he would probably say that he would not die.For the King of Han, he euphemistically expressed the meaning of not being able to die.

The king of Han ordered Liu Hong not to fight again, but to stay well. Immediately, the king of Han returned to the front and continued to sit in command.

Not long after, Liu Hong went out of the tent to look around, and saw that the city tower was full of flames, and he was overjoyed that it was obviously captured.

Liu Hong took Wuji on his horse and headed to the side of the King of Han. Seeing that his two sons had come, the King of Han didn't blame them.

This is a very shocking thing. Some of the Shu soldiers guarding the west gate opened the west gate and let the Han soldiers enter the city.

"Boy, can you still ride a horse?"

"can."

"Let's go, our father and son are going into the city now!"

Father Liu took his two sons to Jinguan City surrounded by a large group of soldiers. At this time, most of the gates of Jinguan City fell, and the Shu soldiers retreated.

The King of Han entered through the west gate with his two sons. The Shu general who opened the city gate and several soldiers were still at the west gate. The King of Han asked the name of the leading Shu general.

Governor Yu and several generals guarded the west gate, and other generals were transferred to the east gate to support that night. Governor Yu took the opportunity to open the west gate with the soldiers and let the Han army enter the city.

The king of Han asked the robber Yu why he did this. The robber Yu wiped the blood from his face and said coldly, "The king of Shu is perverted. Following him is nothing but perishing together."

In prison, Governor Yu listened carefully to what Zhuang Lang said, and thought about it.

Liu Hong recognized Governor Yu's robber, but he didn't say anything. The reward for his merits would have to wait until after the battle.

The king of Han and Liu Hong led the troops to the palace of the king of Shu, and encountered little resistance along the way.

Liu Hong sent a horse to the barracks to inform Zhuang Yang of the city's destruction. He was also worried that Dachun would not go to the Zhuang's house in time, so he ordered a cavalry under his command to rush to the Zhuang's house for protection.

In fact, at this time, Dachun has already knocked on the door of the dealer.
