"Running?"

Wang Yi punched the case in front of him with a heavy punch, and shouted at the side general who apologized in front of him: "Didn't you tell me that there are only a dozen people? Tens of thousands of people went to surround and intercept more than a dozen people, but they could even let them run away! You are a waste like you, still have the face to see me alive?!"

"Da Sikong..." The side general was sweating: "The enemy fled from the dense forest, it was late at night again, and it was really difficult for us to track it... The last general... The last general has tried his best..."

"How many times have I told you before! Don't let one go, don't let one go! Do you all take it as a warning? Since you know that the woods are likely to leave the opportunity for soldiers in the city to escape, why don't you cut them all down? Ah!" Wang Yi became more and more angry as he thought about it. He overturned the cases in front of him, rushed to the side general and kicked him hard.

"Subordinate... I am guilty!" The stern general was kicked back and rolled on the ground several times, then immediately turned over and knelt on the ground.

"Brother... don't have to be so excited." Wang Xun behind him said slowly: "Even if a few people escaped, they may not be the one we want. Tens of thousands of defenders in the city have only been broken through and escaped now, but there are only a dozen people."

"It may not be that it is!!!" Wang Yi turned around and yelled: "What if Liu Xiu was among those dozen people? That's the person His Majesty must kill!"

"Let's just wait and see." There was still no emotional fluctuation in Wang Xun's voice: "Even if it's really him, he will run away. I can't run to the horizon? After conquering Kunyang, continue to go south. After destroying all the Green Forest Army, I don't believe that I can't get his head."

"Hmph..." Wang Yiyu groaned in anger before he could not calm down, and then turned his head and kicked the general: "You'd better start begging God for blessing now! If the person who ran out was really Liu Xiu, or if there were rebels in the city breaking through... your head would have to move a place! Get out!"

"Yes, yes!" The general heard that he didn't have to throw his head away, and agreed repeatedly, feeling like he was given a general amnesty in his heart. He fell to the ground limply when he left the account.

Cut down all the woods! Cut down all the woods!

——The only thought left in his mind.

...

When Dingling's city wall finally appeared in the distance, Liu Xiu finally relaxed a little.

After breaking through the siege and leaving the city, Liu Xiu ordered two rangers to rush out of Wancheng at night to report the situation here to Liu Hu, and then led the remaining people to rush straight towards Dingling. They had no horses, so they could only walk on foot, and were always worried about the pursuit of the cavalry behind them. Fortunately, Dingling was only half a day away from Kunyang, and they stepped up their journey. Before the sun could not have passed, they had already arrived at the city of Dingling.

Although the breakthrough was smooth, the subsequent progress was far beyond Liu Xiu's expectations.

The head general in the city is Chen Mu, who was born in Pinglin soldiers. He is now in the position of a general and is several levels higher than Liu Xiu. When he had not divided his troops before, Liu Xiu had met several times. Although he was not very familiar with him, everyone was quite friendly.

But when Liu Xiu entered the city to ask for a meeting, the few people waited for a long time before finally getting the reception from Chen Mu.

After meeting in the county yamen, Liu Xiu had just proposed the purpose of asking for help on this trip, but Chen Mu didn't even think about it, so he refused Liu Xiu's request.

"This is impossible!"

Chen Mu had a cold face and interrupted Liu Xiugang's half-speaking words: "At this moment, there are only more than 6,000 people in Dingling City, and the city is still difficult to defend. How can I have the energy to support Kunyang?"

"Defend the city? What are you talking about defending the city at this moment?" Liu Xiu was stunned, then frowned: "Kunyang is the gateway to the south and has to defend it. At this moment, the 400,000 troops of the puppet dynasty are all under Kunyang City, leaving troops in Dingling Kong, what's the use!"

"The 400,000 troops are all under Kunyang City, which is the case now! But if the Dingling defenders came out in full swing, how could they know that the opponent would not divide their troops to occupy Dingling? We all worked hard and finally managed to capture these cities in Nanyang County. If they were lost in one go, who could afford this responsibility? Liu Xiu, you are just a general who is too often. Do you dare to say that you will be responsible?" Chen Mu snorted coldly and looked at Liu Xiu with his eyes slanted.

"Responsible?" Liu Xiu was already angry before Chen Mu finished speaking: "Kunyang is already in danger! If Kunyang is lost, who will survive in any city in Dingling, Wancheng, or Nanyang? If everyone dies, why are you still responsible?"

"Since you have been guarding for twenty days, why not stay for twenty days?" Chen Mu shook his head ruthlessly: "General Taichang came from afar, and I must be tired at this moment. Why not go and rest first."

After saying that, Chen Mu waved his hand, and was unwilling to talk to Liu Xiu any more.

"Chen Mu!" Liu Xiu stared at Chen Mu, but he didn't even hesitate at all. He simply turned around and walked out of the hall. A personal soldier walked up and smiled: "Sir, let me lead you to rest!"

No matter how angry Liu Xiu was in his heart, he could not show it on his face at this moment. He took a deep breath and followed the personal soldier to lead the way.

The personal soldiers took Liu Xiu and others out of the county government, turned a few corners, and stood in front of a courtyard: "Sir, let's rest here first."

The courtyard looked quite dilapidated, and it must have been a long time since anyone lived in it. Half of the courtyard gate fell, and it was wide open, and you could see several rooms inside.

"What does this... mean?" Liu Xiu pointed to the room in front of him and said in a deep voice to the personal soldier.

The soldier suddenly looked apologetic on his face: "This room is indeed slow to treat adults. But Dingling City is small and our army has just captured it. The people in the city still need to be comforted. They really cannot free up any decent place for adults to live in... But if our general stays for another two or three days, even if it is forced to conquer, he will definitely find a decent house for adults."

"I mean, why didn't we let us live in the military camp?" Liu Xiu saw that the personal soldier avoided the important and was obviously told by Chen Mu before, and asked with a cold face.

"This... I don't know that the young ones are. But I think I'm afraid that my general will think of the adults fighting bloody battles in Kunyang City every day to protect the city. It's already very hard." The soldier was clever and smiled. It seemed that he must be Chen Mu's trusted confidant: "If he arrives at our Dingling and still lives in the military camp, it would be too aggrieved. If he lives outside the camp, he will definitely be able to rest better."

The personal soldier said this, looked up at Liu Xiu, and smiled apologized: "If sir, the young man will take his leave..."

"...You go." Liu Xiu looked at him deeply for a moment, nodded expressionlessly, turned around and walked into the yard.

"Running?"

Wang Yi punched the case in front of him with a heavy punch, and shouted at the side general who apologized in front of him: "Didn't you tell me that there are only a dozen people? Tens of thousands of people went to surround and intercept more than a dozen people, but they could even let them run away! You are a waste like you, still have the face to see me alive?!"
