In the besieged city, after Zheng Zhengbiao delivered the memorial, he thought that Xiao Lue would definitely appeal for grievances at the memorial, maybe he would unite with the enemy generals to take down the besieged city in one fell swoop, and then he would be the first to make the surgery.

He saw that most of the defenders in the besieged city, headed by Zhu Hongyi, had been bewitched by Xiao Lue, so he acted in secret, using affection or motivating them for profit, or instigating and threatening them, convincing many people, In addition to the few lieutenants he had surrounded in the past six months, he led hundreds of defenders to surround Xiao Lue and Song Wen's residence that night.

The torch burned fiercely, illuminating the front of the mansion as bright as day.

Zheng Zhengbiao said righteously: "Today, the lieutenants and I suspect that Xiao Wei is collaborating with the enemy, and Song Wen was bewitched by Mr. Song..."

He knew very well that Song Wen often led the people in besieged cities to cultivate land, and he had a high prestige among the people, so he was only going to attack Xiao Lue to avoid the people's edge.

Of course, it is impossible to let Song Wen go. How could Song Wen not avenge the revenge he used to force him to lose face with the token of the late emperor?According to the investigation, Song Wen and Xiao Lue went in and out at the same time, and they always slept together at night, such a friendship, Xiao Lue colluded with the enemy, how did Song Wen get out of the relationship?Pulling down Xiao Lue, and then pulling down Song Wen is just around the corner!

"The besieged city is a frontier fortress. Xiao Lue blatantly opened the city gates to let the enemy troops in and out day and night, leaving nothing to defend the border of our Dali Dynasty, and ignoring the safety of the people in the besieged city and the defenders of the besieged city."

Zheng Zhengbiao was filled with righteous indignation, "The lieutenant general and I were heartbroken, and decided to kill Xiao Lue and Song Wen temporarily and take them to the capital to wait for the court's judgment!"

The people in the besieged city were excited for the past two days. The reinforcements arrived, food and grass were sufficient, and the city gates were opened. Many parents and brothers who had been working outside and were not allowed to enter the city before all got the news and returned.For a while, the besieged city was even busier than the New Year's Eve.They didn't sleep as early as before. Zheng Zhengbiao's movement made them come out of the house directly. At first, they were all at a loss, not knowing what happened.The more I listen to it later, the more I feel something is wrong!

"You fart!" That radical man cursed directly.

"If it weren't for General Xiao, the trapped city might not be able to defend it! Are you defending the city with your idiot general?"

"That's right! When General Xiao was defending the city, nothing happened, but when you came here, you, an idiot general, lost consecutive battles and almost lost the trapped city! I think you are the collaborator. The enemy sent their battle exploits!"

"What happened to the enemy army entering and leaving the besieged city? We are not fighting anymore, and we are not allowed to exchange some meat for food!"

It seems that during the two days when the city was besieged, the transactions with the enemy soldiers were very smooth, which gave the people a taste of the sweetness.That's right, the besieged city was originally caused by wars and food shortages. How much money can you earn by going out to work?But this time the besieged city traded with the enemy army, they can exchange a little fresh vegetables for dried meat and flatbread, such a good thing, how can they not be excited.

In fact, this is also temporary. After all, the enemy army has eaten dry food for half a year. Of course, they are willing to exchange dried meat and flatbread for fresh vegetables.But the people are happy to be able to change now, who cares about the future!

Zheng Zhengbiao's face darkened from being scolded by the people, he gritted his teeth, and pretended to be generous: "You were bewitched by Xiao Lue and the others, the imperial court will not blame you! When Xiao Lue is arrested and the imperial court makes a judgment, you will know that you are seeking skin from a tiger , Working as a minion for a tiger!"

"Bah!" The people spat directly at Zheng Zhengbiao.

Zheng Zhengbiao was furious, and said directly with his sword: "If anyone dares to stop me again, I will not be polite!"

Zheng!

what……

A long arrow directly pierced the palm of Zheng Zhengbiao's bright knife, and the long arrow knocked his long knife away, causing blood to flow in an instant.

The door of the mansion opened in response, Xiao Lue and Song Wen went first, followed by Gou Tou, Guo Shang, A Da and others.Xiao Lue bowed his back and stood behind him, and said calmly: "If you dare to attack the people again, the next time the long arrow will pass through your head!"

The common people who were exposed to the sword were still in shock, and turned their heads in a daze to thank Xiao Lue in a low voice.

Xiao Lue waved his hand, and ordered the people to retreat quickly, to protect themselves.

Zheng Zhengbiao yelled, he managed to relieve the pain, and saw that the lieutenants who followed him and the people he threatened to come were all silent and retreated, he was so angry!

"Xiao Lue, don't be complacent! I have already submitted a letter to the imperial court, and your head will fall to the ground soon! Why don't you catch me quickly, and I can plead for you in front of the emperor and leave you with a dead body!"

Song Wen really couldn't stand this idiot and just let it go, with a stupid look on his face, he glanced at the people who came behind him and said: "Let me remind you, don't say that you said that General Xiao colluded with the enemy and treason is just a lie, without any evidence. Even so, now that the imperial decree has not arrived, General Xiao is still the great general in front of the battle, the biggest official in this besieged city, you should be dealt with by military law if you commit crimes below and below!"

Zheng Zhengbiao hurriedly said: "Fart! Collaborating with the enemy is a serious crime, how can we take it lightly. Today I want to be bold and kill the traitor first and then play later!"

"I think you are the collaborator and anti-thief."

Ah Mian couldn't hold it back anymore, she pulled Ah Er to stand in front of her, and then she popped her head and said, "There are [-] permanent guards in the besieged city, and there are [-] troops dispatched urgently." , Now there are only [-] defenders left. I don’t believe that you are not a traitor and you lost on purpose. Even if you don’t know how to fight, you won’t be able to fight. The soldiers are gone; the food, the food and grass are gone.”

When the onlookers heard it, it made sense, but the way they looked at Zheng Zhengbiao was even more wrong.

Zheng Zhengbiao saw that his camp was about to retreat, and immediately shouted: "Do you think that if you leave now, what good fruit will you eat? The only way is to capture Xiao Lue, the traitor, and convict him! We are the first!"

The two parties immediately faced off.

At the touch of a hair.

Gou Tou quickly led people to protect the people and persuaded them to leave quickly.

"General Xiao..." Suddenly, an old voice came out from among the people, breaking the deadlock, but the magistrate of the besieged city was carried out from the crowd.

The besieged city is often warred, so the yamen is in vain, and only handles the affairs of the people. Therefore, the county magistrate of the besieged city is different from the other counties. But the rights are very small.

The county magistrate of the impoverished city supported Gou Tou's hand, knelt down straight to Xiao Lue, and said, "General Xiao, I have something to say. Zheng Zhengbiao, a thief, embezzled the army's salary. I have account books in my yamen as evidence. There is not enough food and grass in the city. It was caused by his deeds. There were originally ten thousand soldiers in the city, but Zheng Zhengbiao was aggressive on the battlefield, greedy for merit, completely disregarding the overall situation, and greedy for life and fear of death. We only have 3000 people left now...We didn't even have time to collect the bones, so we were forced to close the city gate...General Xiao, why did you come back so late!"

The county magistrate of the trapped city, a gray-haired old man, knelt on the ground and wiped his tears.

He is in good health, but Zheng Zhengbiao has repeatedly blatantly embezzled and sent his soldiers to die. He is a mere county magistrate who is in a hurry to get angry, but it is useless. He is too young to fight against Zheng Zhengbiao.He even asked him to push him, and he fell into a coma on the bed.There was such a big commotion in the front yamen that they couldn't wake up.

As soon as I woke up today, I heard that General Xiao was coming, so I forced someone to carry it on my back. The sentence "General Xiao, why did you come back so late?" made the common people who couldn't believe it, just let it go, and cried loudly. stand up.

"My lord, General Xiao is back!" The people shouted at the magistrate of the besieged city.

Song Wen turned his head to look at Xiao Lue.

Xiao Lue's face was more stern than before, but under the light of the torch, his eyes were obviously flushed.He walked over quickly, and personally helped the county magistrate of the impoverished city who was heaving and crying bitterly: "...My lord, it is Xiao Lue who came back late! Xiao Lue, you are incompetent!"

Xiao Lue never said that he was incompetent.

In the past, he was the only one left when all the families were robbed; as the only son of the rebel prince, he joined the army as a soldier, and was dragged out every night to beat him; he was promoted to general, beat the enemy out of the besieged city, retreated thousands of miles, and was forced to return to the capital... ...It's all impossible, and he doesn't feel that he is incompetent.Now facing this tearful old man, he bowed his head and said that he was incompetent because he could not stay in the besieged city...

The county magistrate of Kuncheng fell ill, his cronies were very vigilant, even Xiao Lue couldn't let them leak a word.So after being in the trapped city for so long, he didn't know these things at all.

Xiao Lue lived too much Zhou Zheng, he only thought that Zheng Zhengbiao was an idiot, he was so tired that the county magistrate was too old to support him, he didn't expect that Zheng Zhengbiao would embezzle the military pay, even sent tens of thousands of soldiers to die, almost lost the city!

He turned his head to stare at Zheng Zhengbiao, his gaze was like a knife like a sword, piercing through his rotten bones!

Zheng Zhengbiao said sternly: "Xiao Lue, you are collaborating with the enemy. This county magistrate belongs to you, and he slandered me! Hurry up, take Xiao Lue down quickly, and I promise you all to plead for your credit in front of the emperor!"

The county magistrate of the impoverished city pushed Xiao Lue away, and waited for Zheng Zhengbiao to say: "Zheng Zhengbiao, on behalf of the people in the impoverished city, I am here to write a letter to the court, begging the emperor to let General Xiao guard the impoverished city, and drive you out of the impoverished city." For eternity, you will not be allowed to step into the impoverished city, and it will be included in the county annals of the impoverished city, and you will be ashamed of the impoverished city for eternity!"

He obviously had been prepared for a long time. As soon as he finished speaking, his confidant sent the paper. He didn't use pen and ink. He bit his finger on the spot and wrote the memorial directly in blood.

All in one go!

The county magistrate of the impoverished city turned around and said, "I am a commoner in the impoverished city, who will write the letter with the old man?"

"I!"

"I come!"

"I come!"

Xiao Lue couldn't stop it, so he was overwhelmed by the excited people.All the people bit their fingers and pressed bloody fingerprints on the memorial. After a while, it was bloody and there was nowhere to press it.The common people didn't pay much attention to it, they just pressed on the writing on it, saying it was the book of Wanmin, but in the end there was only a bloody fingerprint left, and none of the characters could be seen.

Tens of thousands of people's letters are threatening the court. If one is not good, the county magistrate of the impoverished city will be the first to suffer.

Xiao slightly wanted to stop...

Song Wen stepped forward, held Xiao Lue down, full of admiration, his eyes shining brightly: "General Xiao, let them go. They are saying, you are a great general!"

"Really?" Xiao Lue felt that what he did was not good at all. He didn't know that Zheng Zhengbiao was corrupt, and he didn't pay attention to the besieged city all the time, which made so many people die in the besieged city.

Song Wen put his arms around the man halfway, and said softly but solemnly: "Yes."

Xiao Lue sneaked close to Song Wen for a while, then stood up resolutely, like a former general who was covered in iron armor and frightened the three armies.He looked at Zheng Zhengbiao, who was already vain, and said, "Take Zheng Zhengbiao and others, put them in the prison of the Yamen, and wait for their punishment. But if there are any resisters, they will be executed on the spot!"

Li Qingnian, on September 25th, a group of people led by Zheng Zhengbiao, the former defender of the besieged city, was witnessed by the county magistrate of the besieged city. Because of corruption, huge military pay, and rashness on the battlefield, they slandered the former general Xiao Lue for collaborating with the enemy, etc. Waiting for a total of ten major crimes to be temporarily detained in the prison of the city's Yamen, waiting to be punished!

In the year of Li Qingnian, on September [-]th, the imperial court sent Zhang Ming and Dai Peiguan, the elders of the court, to the besieged city to hold peace talks with the enemy country.

Li Qingnian, on September [-]th, the head of the county magistrate of the trapped city, wrote the "Book of Wanmin" to plead with the imperial court to let Xiao Lue be the general of the defenders of the trapped city, ask Song Wen to be the county magistrate of the trapped city, and ask the emperor to allow the county annals of the trapped city to list the poor Zheng Zhengbiao, the former general of the city defenders, will never be allowed to step into the besieged city forever. He erected Zheng Zhengbiao's pillar of shame to comfort the souls of tens of thousands of defenders!

All the way Wanminshu was escorted to Beijing by the people in the besieged city, and the mournful cries resounded through the official road...

The whole country was shocked!

The emperor is furious!I personally wrote a letter of guilt, regretting that I didn't know people clearly, and caused the people in the besieged city and the defenders to suffer!

Order:

Because the envoys of the imperial court for peace talks are about to arrive in the besieged city, and there will be no more wars in the besieged city after the peace talks, so Xiao Lue does not need to guard the besieged city, but promotes Zhu Hongyi as a general to guard the besieged city.However, Song Wen is the county magistrate of Chang'an, so he cannot be the county magistrate of the impoverished city.The county magistrate of the impoverished city will continue to serve as the former county magistrate. Gu Nianyuan's county magistrate is old, and the imperial court sent good officials to assist him until the old county magistrate can no longer serve as the county magistrate of the impoverished city!

Xiao Lue and Song Wen returned to Beijing immediately on the day the peace talks envoys arrived!
