I laughed and pointed at the guy.
"What trap? You've all become stray dogs, what are you still planning? Let me tell you, release the people on the city wall, or I won't be polite.”
As I spoke, I placed one hand behind my back and signaled Hu Ju and Ju Tu. The two of them secretly passed down the order according to their agreement, preparing to attack at any time.
That guy ordered his men to shoot a whistling arrow into the sky and shouted at the same time,"
"If you still don't surrender, you've already fallen into our encirclement.”
Indeed, there were shouts of killing outside the city behind us, but it quickly calmed down. I'm afraid they're working together from the inside, so we left Zhang Bao behind. Those people are all equipped with Jun Crossbow No.1, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem for them to withstand the attack of 2000 people. Judging from the current situation, they were scattered by us so quickly, which means that there aren't many of them attacking us outside the city.
The guy on the city wall was still nagging us to surrender, but seeing how we quickly eliminated the ambush outside the city, he became mute. At this moment, thick smoke came from the other three gates of Li City, and the cries of children and women could be heard. Many people in the city turned their heads to look at the chaos. I could hear the guy on the city muttering,
"Why are you setting fire now?"
While they were distracted, I shouted,
"Attack!"
Ju Tu had already shot an arrow at the throat of the guy who was talking non-stop. That guy didn't even have time to react before the black triangular iron arrow pierced through his throat. He didn't make a sound and fell to the top of the city wall. Hu Ju and the others also shot out poisonous arrows from their crossbows, causing the machetemen to fall to the ground one after another. Guan Xing and Hao Zhao saw that we had made our move, so they continued to attack. The city walls were filled with shouts of killing. With my order, Ju Tu stepped forward and squatted at the foot of the city wall. He leaned his weapon against the city wall, stretched out his hands and shouted at Hu Ju,
"Come on."
Hu Ju took a few steps back and suddenly started to run forward again. He stepped on Ju Tu's hands with one foot. Ju Tu suddenly stood up and raised his elbows. Hu Ju took advantage of the situation and jumped up as well. His left hand had already pressed against the wall of the city wall. He then exerted force and raised his legs and feet to step on the city wall. The moment he landed, the staff in his right hand had already used Army Obliteration. It sent the incoming weapons flying with a crackling sound and protected an area. Ju Tu threw a few more people over and together with Hu Ju, they began to sweep away the soldiers who were charging towards Yang Fu and the others. At the same time, they untied the ropes on Yang Fu and the others. After Jiang Xu and Yang Fu were released, they each picked up a weapon to protect Mother Jiang and Ma Maomei. However, they did not go forward to fight. Although Jiang Xu did not move forward, he shouted,"
"Soldiers of Li City, don't fight General Ma anymore. Use your weapons to attack the Cao army that is bullying us!”
At this moment, Jiang Wei and I had also broken through the city gates below. We led the army and rushed in. The Cao soldiers who were still fighting Guan Xing and the others saw that things were not going well. In addition to our shouts of "surrender, we won't kill" and the experience of how we treated the captives who surrendered last time, they immediately lost their will to fight. They threw down their weapons and fell to the ground, kneeling and surrendering.
Jiang Wei and the others continued to eliminate the Cao army that refused to surrender. Ju Tu and I went to the city gate tower and saw Yang Fu and Jiang Xu. They were still in good spirits, but there were some whip marks on Yang Fu's face. It seemed that he had been beaten up. After Jiang Xu saw me, he gave me a deep bow.
"Thank you, little general, for saving my life."
I hurriedly replied,
"Lord Jiang is too polite. We're all family, so there's no need to be like this.”
Yang Fu also came over and bowed to me. At the same time, he winked at me. I also winked at him when no one was paying attention. Yang Fu rubbed her face again and complained,
"Little General, you're too slow. My head almost fell off just now.”
He had been in contact with me for a long time. He knew that I was still very young and didn't pay much attention to etiquette, especially between acquaintances. He started to joke with me as soon as he was saved and wanted to take advantage of me. Before I could reply, Jiang Xu heard what Yang Fu said and quickly said to me,
"Generals, please come to my humble abode. This Jiang has prepared some wine to thank you for saving my life. I hope that you will give this Jiang some face.”
Hao Zhao and Guan Xing are already here. Zhang Bao is still cleaning up the battlefield outside the city and will be back soon. Jiang Wei probably won't need much time either. I nodded.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble Lord Jiang. I'll wait here for my two brothers to arrive before we go together.”
When Jiang Xu heard me say this, he quickly found his original subordinates and returned to his residence to prepare the banquet. He waited here for me to return together. Zhang Bao and Jiang Wei arrived shortly after. Zhang Bao was still shouting that he was not satisfied with the killing as he walked. He really followed his father's temper, going crazy as soon as he entered the battlefield. Jiang Wei came to me and said,
"Third brother, we've searched the entire city, but we haven't found any trace of Xiahou Yuan, that man surnamed Meng, or any of the Cao generals.”
I nodded.
"Thank you, big brother. They won't be able to escape.”
When Yang Fu saw that we were all here, she said to me,
"Little General, let's go. This time, don't just drink one jar like last time. You can't keep forcing others to drink.”
I also said loudly,
"No problem, I'll definitely drink as much as I can this time. Brothers, let's go to the lower city."
I handed the halberd to Hu Ju and reached out to support Mother Jiang. I went down the city tower with the old lady and walked towards Jiang Xu's residence. The city wasn't big anyway, so it wouldn't take long to walk. When we arrived at the Jiang Residence, we only brought Hu Ju, Ju Tu, and a few guards and messengers in. The horses were also tied to the hitching post in front of the door. Our people have already started to put out the fire and patrol the city. In addition to the soldiers who stayed on the city wall, there are not many people around the Jiang Mansion.
After entering the inner hall, Jiang Xu arranged for people to receive Hu Ju and the others in the side hall at the side. It was close, so they could hear him if he called out to them. The few of us entered the hall where the banquet was held. Mother Jiang and Jiang Xu sat at the head of the table while we sat on both sides. Looking at the speed and style of the dishes served, it could be seen that although the Jiang family had just suffered a lot, a lean camel was still bigger than a horse. Extraordinary strength was extraordinary strength. There were all sorts of things that flew in the sky, ran on the ground, and swam in the water. The smell made us salivate. After running for a few days, we wanted to pounce on them and have a good meal. Especially Zhang Bao, who was drooling like Zhu Bajie. Looking at us, I can see a trace of pity in Jiang Xu's eyes. When he heard the servant report that the people I brought had already taken their seats, Jiang Xu raised his wine cup to thank us and invited us to drink a full cup. We raised our sleeves and drank it without hesitation. Then, Jiang Xu invited us to eat. We also raised our sleeves and began to chew. I stole a glance at Yang Fu. Seeing that he wanted to say something, I smiled and said,
"General Yang, the wine is good, and the dishes are good. It would be a pity not to eat them.”
"Eh? Why didn't Lord Jiang and the others move?”
Jiang Xu's expression changed. He raised his cup and pretended to throw it away. I immediately picked up the cup on my table and threw it on the ground.
"Lord Jiang, isn't this trick too old-fashioned? Can you do something new?"
With the sound of my cup being smashed, many soldiers rushed out from the rooms on both sides. The ones leading them were that man surnamed Meng and a young general. They pointed their weapons at us, and the young general shouted,"
"Pow-"
Zhang Bao obediently fell to the ground in an exaggerated manner, and even knocked over the table in front of him. However, if one looked carefully, one would see that his hand had already fallen to the hilt of the sword at his waist, and his body could jump up at any time to fight. I looked very surprised and pointed at them. I opened my mouth to say something, but before I could say anything, I leaned on the table unsteadily. Jiang Wei, Hao Zhao, and the others also fell. Jiang Xu said,
"Lord Meng, I've already captured them. I hope you can let my family go.”
Scholar Meng smiled.
"Lord Jiang, don't worry. Not only will I let you go, I will also report your contributions to Prime Minister Cao.”
"Lord Meng, there's no need for merit. I, Jiang, am willing to resign and serve my mother at home.”
"Men, arrest them."
The warriors on both sides rushed to the back of Jiang Xu and the others, wiped their shoulders, and grabbed Mother Jiang, Jiang Xu, and the others. Jiang Xu shouted,
"Why did you catch me?"
"I'm catching you. They won't wake up after drinking the medicinal wine anyway. There's no hurry. You colluded with Ma Chao in an attempt to kill General Xia Hou. What crime do you deserve? If I let you off this time, wouldn't the entire Yong Liang be against Prime Minister Cao? When will the ups and downs be the end? If I want to kill you people, just accept your fate. Anyway, your wife and children have already gone to the underworld. You can go there and meet them.”
Mother Jiang spat on the man's face and scolded him loudly,"
"Dog, I used to believe that Cao Cao was the prime minister of the Great Han Dynasty and could pacify the world. I even advised my son not to oppose Cao Cao with Ma Chao. Now I understand why General Ma had no choice but to rebel. My son, it was your mother who harmed you."
Jiang Xu cried to Mother Jiang and said,"
"Mother, son doesn't want you."
Yang Fu was also crying at the side.
"Little general, it's all Fu's fault. Fu should have told you earlier.”
At this moment, a guy walked to my side and wanted to take off my scimitar. Just as his finger touched my scimitar, I flipped my wrist and grabbed his wrist. I pulled it down and that person fell on his face. I jumped up and pulled out my scimitar. With a flash of my scimitar, I had already chopped the back of that person's neck. A large head rolled out. The eyes of that head were still wide open, revealing an incredulous expression. The blood spurted out from the neck of the dead body on the ground, and a lot of blood splattered on the lower hem of Scholar Meng's robe. Hearing my movement, my brothers jumped up and unsheathed their swords. Zhang Bao was standing beside the young general. Taking advantage of the man's shock, the blade of the sword was already placed on his neck. Guan Xing had also restrained Scholar Meng. Hao Zhao and Jiang Wei quickly killed the Cao soldiers behind Jiang Xu and the others, shouting,
"Put down your weapons!"
I waved my knife and cut off the rope binding Yang Fu and the others, making them stand to the side. I pointed my scimitar at Scholar Meng.
"Martial Uncle Meng, I'm sorry for offending you."
