Chapter 1279: Death Date 【2】 (Thanks: Feiqiu Dushan)
Hedong Commandery, Yucheng.
This place is only forty li away from Anyi.
At this time, there is a large camp on the southeast sides of Yucheng.
A red battle flag is hanging in front of the camp stationed on the east side, with the word "Zhu" written on it.
And in front of the camp on the south side of Yucheng, a black battle flag is hanging, with the words "Huangfu" written on it.
The two camps are separated by Yucheng, as if they have surrounded Yucheng.
The tents set up by tens of thousands of troops in the camp cannot be seen at a glance.
And at this time, on the city wall facing the Anyi direction on the north side of Yucheng, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, wearing the armor of standard Han army middle-ranking generals, are standing on the city wall.
Accompanied by the county magistrate and county lieutenant of Yucheng.
Nearly ten days have passed since the dispatch from Luoyang to here.
And five days have passed since the court document was sent to Tie Shitou who surrounded Anyi.
But the two who waited bitterly for five days did not receive any reply or any attitude from Tie Shitou.
The court document sent out seemed to have sunk into the sea.
Standing on the city wall with his hand on the saber at his waist, Zhu Jun looked extremely impatient.
If it weren't for the court's order, Zhu Jun would probably have led his army to flatten Anyi by now.
When receiving the order to send troops to Anyi, both Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song held their breath.
Because of the various grievances with Duan Yu before, the two were very concerned about suppressing Tie Shitou, Duan Yu's subordinate.
However, just when the two led their troops to set off.
The court had another order.
Although they were asked to bring troops to capture Tie Shitou, the premise was that they could not use force.
Before Tie Shitou led troops to surround Anyi and made a mistake, they absolutely could not use force first.
They were asked to focus on pacification.
"Five days have passed, Duan Yu's subordinate clearly doesn't take us seriously, doesn't take the court's edict seriously,"
Zhu Jun frowned tightly, one hand pressing on the city wall in front of him, and said with a gloomy tone: "In my opinion, why be so troublesome? You and I lead troops to go there. That Tie Shitou only has two thousand troops. We don't need to do it. Just deterrence is enough to easily take him down and send him to Luoyang. Why be so troublesome!"
Huangfu Song, standing on the side, shook his head slightly.
The court did not let them use force, obviously out of fear.
As for what they were afraid of, the answer was also very obvious.
"The court does not let us use force because it is afraid of Duan Yu of Liangzhou. Without the next instruction, I guess it is also waiting for Duan Yu to come back to handle this matter,"
Huangfu Song shook his head while facing the Anyi direction and said: "If we act without authorization, not only will we not get the court's commendation, but if something really happens because of this, I am afraid that the one who will be implicated in the end will be ourselves."
"The court is now stable, the Emperor has just ascended the throne, and the Empress Dowager naturally does not want to cause more trouble."
"Hmph."
As soon as Huangfu Song's words fell, Zhu Jun snorted coldly.
"Duan Yu, Duan Yu, it seems like the whole world only has Duan Yu," Zhu Jun said very unconvinced: "Isn't he just a bit lucky? If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's help, he would still be selling animal skins in Jinyang now."
Huangfu Song took a deep breath.
Although this cannot be denied, it is not comprehensive enough.
Although Duan Yu is lucky, Duan Yu's ability is also not to be underestimated.
In Yingchuan, what was the truth behind it? Huangfu Song knew better than anyone.
Did his nephew Huangfu Li occupy those properties of Zhang Rang? Doesn't he know?
It's just that this kind of thing can't be explained clearly.
"Send someone to see again, wait for the court's instruction," Huangfu Song still maintained a cautious attitude and said: "Calculate the time, the court's instruction will arrive soon, being careful is always right."
Although Zhu Jun was unhappy, he could only agree with Huangfu Song's suggestion.
Not long after, under the orders of the two, a cavalry unit went toward Anyi again.
Anyi.
Time flew by, and it had been more than half a month.
The city gate of Anyi County had been closed for half a month without opening.
Inside and outside the city, there was a cold and murderous atmosphere.
On the south city wall, Yuan Shu sat on a Hu chair, drinking ice-cold honey water just taken from a deep well, watching the direction outside the city like watching a play.
On the city parapet in front of him, a rotting corpse was tied to a rope.
That was Wang Hunu's corpse.
Since learning that the armies of Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were less than fifty li away from here in Yucheng, Yuan Shu had been provoking Tie Shitou outside the city even more unscrupulously every day.
Even when he was idle, he used bows and arrows to shoot at Wang Hunu's corpse hanging in mid-air.
"Someone, I thought of a new way to play today."
Yuan Shu said loudly.
Behind him, soldiers immediately stepped forward to receive orders.
"You guys, go up and stand on the city parapet, and urinate on the corpse of that lowly person below for me. Whoever urinates more, whoever urinates accurately, I will reward whoever."
"If you can lure that lowly person under the city to attack the city, I will reward you heavily."
Several soldiers looked at each other after hearing Yuan Shu's words, and then immediately climbed toward the city parapet.
The scrambling appearance made Yuan Shu laugh loudly.
Fan Xian sat in the lower left seat of Yuan Shu, also watching this scene with a light smile: "Sure enough, the General has many ways."
"If you can really lure Duan Yu's subordinates to attack the city first, then General Zhu and General Huangfu can lead troops to suppress them."
Yuan Shu hummed coldly and sneered: "A group of turtles, I want to see how long they can endure."
"Urine, hurry up and urinate, whoever urinates more, I will reward heavily!"
Yuan Shu held a bowl of honey water and said loudly: "Hey, I drank too much honey water, it seems I have urine too. Move aside, let me come first."
Saying that, Yuan Shu stood up from the Hu chair.
Outside Anyi City.
Tie Shitou personally led five hundred Liangzhou soldiers to block the south gate.
He took everything in his eyes.
Watching Yuan Shu on the city wall again using methods to humiliate Wang Hunu's corpse, Tie Shitou's eyes were red.
"Brother!"
A heart-piercing roar sounded from behind Tie Shitou.
Watching Wang Erhu, who had already lost a circle of weight, rush toward the south of the city after a sorrowful shout.
But when passing in front of Tie Shitou, he was pulled by Tie Shitou.
"Erhu!" Tie Shitou pulled Wang Erhu.
Wang Erhu turned around, his eyes full of tears of humiliation, pointing to the south of Anyi City, pointing to the position where Wang Hunu's corpse was hanging: "Shitou brother, can you bear to watch that beast humiliate my brother's corpse like this? My brother..."
Tie Shitou, who was equally haggard and had bloodshot eyes, gritted his teeth angrily.
"Erhu, I want to avenge Hunu more than anyone else, but..."
Tie Shitou closed his eyes. Tie Shitou, who never shed tears easily and didn't shed tears even when his shoulder was almost split in the Battle of Yunwu, shed two lines of tears from the corners of his eyes at this moment.
"Erhu, if we attack the city now, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song in the distance will send troops to attack us."
"Your brother is my brother, and you are also my brother. My life is cheap, and I can be fearless."
"But there are two thousand Liangzhou brothers here, and so many brothers who followed us all the way from Jinyang." ===== CHAPTER 1281 =====
