Chapter 729: Constitution (IV)

Regardless of whether people like it or not, the night and the day always alternate on time in a certain order. When the sunset is setting, people are ready to welcome the arrival of the night. In the Qin King’s Army camp outside Xiangyang City, almost no one doubted the soldiers who had not had any war for two days. The peaceful day is about to pass, so they are all very happy because... they have lived another day.

The autumn night has come significantly earlier, and the dark night has gradually increased the time for one's own rule of the world.

Two soldiers, one big and one small, sat together, staring at the setting sunset westward.

"Brother Chen, how great it would be if we could not fight for the rest of our lives!"

The young soldier, who seemed only eighteen or nineteen years old, looked at the bloody setting sun and sighed: "If I could watch the sun sink quietly every day, sleep happily and watch the sun rise... How happy."

"Prosperity!"

The man surnamed Chen looked to be in his thirties. He pulled a weed and held it in his mouth. While chewing the slightly bitter grass, he asked: "Xiao Liuzi, why did you join the army at the beginning?"

"You can eat enough to be a soldier!"

Xiao Liuzi smiled, not feeling that his purpose of joining the army was any shame: "When the Qin King's army passed through the border, the village was like a locust plague, and no grass was born. The food was confiscated by the army, and the villagers were forced to come to Xiangyang again. If I hadn't had the strength to do it, I would probably follow everyone to starve to death on the way to escape. At that time, I thought it would be great to join the army, at least I don't have to starve to death... I can't be a starving ghost, right?"

"What a fucking world!"

The man surnamed Chen sighed and said, "I really didn't expect Xiao Xian to be so cruel. He has always regarded himself as benevolent and righteous. But tens of thousands of refugees flocked to Xiangyang City. He really didn't open the gate. When the refugees approached, he ordered a rain of arrows to be put down. Too many people died! It is said that the dead bodies in Xiangyang City were piled up that day, half a person tall!"

"Xiao Xian ruthless?"

Xiao Liuzi smiled coldly, looked at the man surnamed Chen and said, "You first followed His Highness the King of Qin. It would be fine if you didn't dare to say bad things about the King of Qin, but do you really think that Xiao Xian was cruel? If the King of Qin hadn't robbed food and drove away the victims, tens of thousands would have been starved to death?! Thousands of people would have been shot to death under the city of Xiangyang?"

He turned to look at the sunset and said in a low voice: "If I were Xiao Xian, I would not dare to open the city gate easily. Who knows if there were any fine works of the King of Qin among the victims? What if the gate was opened and the fine works were in trouble in the city? I heard that Xiao Xian saluted the victims on the city gate building, crying and ordering arrows! In comparison... the King of Qin is more ruthless."

"Shh..."

The veteran surnamed Chen changed his face and lowered his voice and said, "I dare not say such words!"

"What are you afraid of!"

Xiao Liuzi suddenly said mysteriously: "Look, in just one or two days, General Han will definitely have a quarrel with His Highness Qin. Haven't you seen the chaos in the camp? Most of the people are standing on General Han's side, and no one wants to fight the Liang army outside Xiangyang City! I heard... someone is talking about it and asking for military advice!"

"What did you say?!"

The man surnamed Chen was stunned and his face suddenly turned pale: "Soldiers' advice..."

"We must force the King of Qin to order the retreat."

Before Xiao Liuzi could finish his words, he saw a sudden chaos in the distance from the camp. Countless soldiers shouted in a mess and walked towards the Qin King's tent. It seemed that there were at least a few thousand people. Xiao Liuzi and the others listened carefully and found that the group of people were shouting "Don't be a deceased ghost or withdrawing troops."

"not good!"

The man surnamed Chen was shocked: "You want to mutiny!"

He stood up suddenly and was about to run to the Qin King's tent, but Xiao Liuzi grabbed him: "Brother Chen, you don't want to live anymore! No one can stop you now. If you stop in front of those people, you can only be beaten to death! If we don't interfere with this kind of thing, we will be worthy of the Qin King."

"Can……"

"What can you do? Let's hide, don't move forward."

Xiao Liuzi pulled him and ran towards his tent.

At the same time, thousands of Qin King's personal troops gathered quickly under the command of Yuchi Gong and stood on several floors densely in front of the Qin King's tent. The archers had already put the feather arrows on the bowstrings and would shoot the arrows at a single command. But everyone's face was ugly, and their hands holding the hard bow were trembling. No one was willing to kill their comrades. Knife and feather arrows were used to deal with the enemy!

"Stop!"

Yuchi Gong stood in front of Li Shimin's personal soldiers and shouted loudly: "Let's take another step forward, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"General Yuchi!"

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly: "We want to see Your Highness, King Qin, we will not be a deceased devil! We want to ask Your Highness, King Qin, where is the food gone!"

"Yes! We're going home!"

"Stop!"

Yuchi Gong shouted: "His Highness of Qin has sent someone to invite General Han to discuss the withdrawal of the army. Don't believe the rumors easily! Someone wants to instigate you to make trouble, don't be stupid!"

"If we fight with hundreds of thousands of Liang troops on hunger, we will be stupid!"

I don’t know who shouted in the crowd, and immediately stirred up the soldiers’ emotions.

"retreat!"

"retreat!"

"retreat!"

The shouts are rising and falling!

...

...

"Master!"

Zhao Wu lifted the curtain and looked outside, his face turned pale: "Please make a decision quickly. If the personal guards attack at this time and capture Han Shi'e, they will be executed immediately, the soldiers who want to mutiny will be shocked and the scene will be controlled. If the soldiers are encouraged to attack the tent, the situation will be difficult..."

“It’s too late.”

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Gou made a mistake... Gu shouldn't have sent someone to ask Han Shie to discuss matters in my tent. Gu sent someone to go, and Han Shie guessed that Gu wanted to attack him. How could he continue to wait? If Gu left his personal guards and cavalry rushed over directly... there would be no current situation."

He put on the iron helmet and looked at the horizontal knife beside his waist: "Actually, Gu has always distrust Han Shie, but Gu has been enduring it... Maybe you all think Gu is indecisive, but can't you see the difficulties of Gu clearly? Killing Li Jing, Gu has been called Li Liang and cold. So many subordinates are so unfair to this kind of reason for Gu's defeat in Chang'an. Han Shie'e's contribution is too great, even if he has ulterior motives, he can only pretend not to know! If Gu has already won the power and has already sat on that chair, Gu will be the first to kill him... But the country is not yet determined, and the world is unfair. How can Gu kill him to make everyone's hearts cold?"

He suddenly smiled and looked outside and said, "Han Shie knew that Gu did not dare to kill him, and Gu did not dare to kill him... But he did not dare to kill Gu openly, so he encouraged the soldiers to make trouble. But he ignored one thing. If Gu walked out now and stood in front of the soldiers and announced the withdrawal of troops immediately, would you guess the soldiers would mutiny? Han Shie...he thought about rebellion too simply."

After saying this, he lifted the curtain and walked out.

More and more people gathered outside the door, surrounding Li Shimin's tent. Thousands of personal guards stood layer by layer, holding weapons on guard. They looked nervously at the increasingly angry crowd in front of them, sweating in their hands. From time to time, people shouted loudly in the crowd, encouraging the soldiers to attack the tent. Fortunately, the soldiers were completely lost by the excitement.

There is no doubt that Han Shie has placed many close friends in the crowd.

It is these people who keep shouting slogans.

Li Shimin walked out of the tent and was stunned for a moment when he looked at the crowd in front of him. He took a breath slowly, then walked forward and out.

"Scatter and let them come."

Li Shimin ordered while walking.

When Yuchi Gong saw Li Shimin come out, he was stopped by Li Shimin as soon as he was about to speak. He followed a path separated by the soldiers and walked slowly to the soldiers surrounding him. Seeing Li Shimin walk out, the shouting soldiers immediately calmed down. The person standing in front subconsciously took a step back, and his excitement was revealed again by the natural fear and obedience of the nobles in his heart.

"What do you want to do alone?"

Li Shimin asked someone to move a chair and stand up, glanced at everyone and said, "Do you want to withdraw your troops? Are you worried that there is not enough food?"

No one answered, no one dared to answer.

"You idiots!"

Li Shimin pointed to the direction of the baggage camp and said loudly: "What are your own eyes for? You can only listen with your ears, but you won't see with your own eyes! The food in the baggage camp is there, you just need to go and take a look to know if someone deliberately instigates you to make trouble!"

"I am already arranging the troops to be cut off and I am preparing to withdraw my troops overnight today."

He asked loudly: "You don't want to fight, and Gu is very disappointed. But Gu also feels sorry for your life, just as he feels sorry for his own life. Since you all want to withdraw, then withdraw. Let's wait for the spring next year to come back! Gu's anger is that you are all idiots who have been provoked as knives!"

"You are lying!"

Someone shouted in the crowd: "You want to send tens of thousands of people as bait, you want to sacrifice our lives!"

"who!"

Li Shimin swept across the crowd with his eyes like lightning: "Stand out and talk to Gu face to face!"

"I'll really withdraw my troops today?"

Someone asked.

Li Shimin said firmly: "Retreat the troops! Retreat today! Let's retreat back to Xicheng County and make plans!"

"Fake!"

Someone shouted, "He is lying! I saw with my own eyes that the food from the baggage camp was transported to his personal military camp. He wanted to withdraw his troops, but he ran away by himself! He wanted to leave us all as scapegoats, let us block the reinforcements of the Liang army, and he ran back to Xicheng County to have a happy life!"

“Stand out!”

Li Shimin was furious and said, "Who saw it with his own eyes? Stand out!"

At this moment, a cold arrow suddenly shot from somewhere in the crowd. It headed straight for Li Shimin like lightning!

...

...

With a sound, the feather arrow shot accurately into Li Shimin's heart. It shattered his iron armored heart protection mirror, because Li Shimin was standing on the chair, and the arrow shot from a distance, with great force. Although he could not penetrate the armor, he knocked Li Shimin down from the chair. If Li Shimin had not been prepared and had another heart protection mirror hidden in the armor, he would have been afraid that this arrow would have killed him.

"Kill Li Shimin!"

Someone shouted.

"The King of Qin is dead. Everyone kills the King of Qin's personal soldiers, otherwise we will have no way to survive!"

"Please ask General Han to take charge of military affairs!"

As the shouts came, the crowd suddenly boiled like a pot of water. The people standing in front saw Li Shimin being shot into an arrow, but they also saw Li Shimin being quickly helped and stood up. But the crowd behind them squeezed forward like a flood, and they could not control their bodies at all. The crowd kept pressing forward, and many feather arrows shot out from the crowd and hit Li Shimin's personal soldiers.

"Shoot the arrow!"

While supporting Li Shimin, Yuchi Gong shouted: "Kill! Kill all the rebels!"

On the periphery of the camp, Han Shie, who was sitting upright on the war horse, smiled. He raised his head and pointed forward: "Roar over and kill Li Shimin before the loyal people were gathered together. He wanted to see the corpse!"

"kill!"

Han Sui shouted loudly and rushed forward with thousands of cavalry.
