"Master, now the official family is in full swing. For the sake of the family and Chengzong, we can only suffer this grievance. I will go and talk to the Yao sister, just think it was bitten by a dog." Wei sighed. After this incident, he didn't know how to get along with him. How could this woman be able to raise her head if she lost her reputation.

"You, go in and clean up first." Looking at the dark room, Zhao Pu did not dare to go in. He could not face Yao's gaze.

When Wei heard this, he pushed the door open and the room was pitch black. He took out the fire note and prepared to light the oil lamp on the table first.

Suddenly, something hit her head. Yao stretched out her hand and touched her. With the faint light of the fire slash, she was actually a person.

"Ah!" Wei looked up and saw someone hanging on the beam of the house. He was so scared that he shouted loudly.

"Light the light first!" Zhao Pu came in and shouted, then walked over and hugged Yao, who was hanging on the beam of the house.

"Master! This, this Yao family sister..." Wei never thought that Yao was so strong that he committed suicide by hanging himself.

"Come on hot water, and then, after dawn, I'll buy a coffin, and ask for the best one." Zhao Pu reached out and touched her, and had already lost his breath. He put Yao on the bed, and was extremely calm.

She left like this, not even taking a shower, probably very uncomfortable. Zhao Pu planned to scrub her personally and set off on the road cleanly. Although Yao was remarried and was defiled by Zhao Laoer, in Zhao Pu's heart, she was still so clean, just like the snow when she first met.

Wei brought the basin of water in and was driven out by Zhao Pu. I guess Yao's body was only wanted to be seen by him alone.

"I'm sorry for you, husband!" Zhao Pu gently wiped her face with water. The person who hanged her face was ugly, but Zhao Pu was not afraid. Over the years, Zhao Pu finally fell in love with someone, but this was the ending.

If she could stop drinking in time, maybe she wouldn't have sought death. When she left, she must have been desperate and thought that Zhao Pu would abandon her.

There is a kind of hatred that is planted in Zhao Pu's heart, not only for Zhao Guangyi, but also for the government and even the entire court.

The Zhao family, which was decorated with lanterns, was replaced with plain silhouette overnight, and the joyful event became a funeral. Yao was a concubine and had no children, so he could not be buried in his ancestral tomb.

Zhao Pu didn't care about so much and insisted on letting her enter the ancestral grave, but no one dared to say anything. He was sorry for her, but if she became a lonely ghost after her death, Zhao Pu could not forgive him.

He wanted to bury all the hatred deeply in his heart and wait patiently. If there was one day, Zhao Pu would definitely let the Zhao brothers repay them twice as much as possible, and they would be in vain.

Outside Xiongzhou City, Gao Jichong rode on the Gaotou horse and looked at the defenders at the top of the city. He did not surround three, one missing, and all his men gathered at the east gate, with cavalry under his command. It would be better if they left the city.

Pan Liu, the third owner of Tianyao Village, has now transformed into the capital under Gao Jichong, commanding more than a hundred soldiers. Now Gao Jichong has many weapons and armor, and is young and young, so Pan Liu is fully equipped and looks like that.

Lian Yuanshan, the owner of Lianjiabao Fort, stood at the top of the city, and behind him there were more than a dozen of Xiongzhou figures, and two other owners of Tianyao Village were also among them.

When news of Bao Zhengting's death came, Lian Yuanshan immediately captured the command of the defenders in the city, and all the soldiers of the Southern Han who dared to resist were killed.

"Master Qin, that person seems to be the third child of your Tianyao Village?" Lian Yuanshan was good at shooting, with great eyesight. Even if Pan Liu was wearing a helmet, he was recognized by him.

"It's true, why is the third brother in the enemy's ranks?" Qin Zhen felt a little incredible. He originally thought that the third brother must be in trouble, so why did he get into the enemy's ranks?

Thousands of elite soldiers of Bao Zhengting were wiped out, but they did not expect Tianyao Village to withstand it.

"Brother, those guys seem to be brothers in the village." The second owner of the manor also found something was wrong. The people next to the third brother were all familiar faces in the village.

"Maybe, I'm a prisoner

It is normal for the robbers to survive." Qin Zhen nodded, and suddenly felt that Gao Ji Chong was a little arrogant. Since he could make so many people follow the army honestly, the situation in Zhuangzhong must be fine.

Although they all brought the closest people to the city, there were many people left in the village. It would be better to be able to survive.

"Hmph! The timid rats are accustomed to living a life of silence!" Lian Yunshan was a little annoyed. Although he had to defend the city and barely gathered up three thousand people, the other party's formation was obviously the first-class elite. The ones who stayed in the city were basically without armor, and many of them were not even capable of weapons, and their combat power was much worse.

If the other party's food and grass are unsustainable, Lian Yunshan is still confident of repelling the enemy, but in this situation, there is obviously sufficient food and grass.

Qin Zhen wanted to tell the matter, but finally gave up because he had ordered the families to set fire to burn all the supplies and not be able to get them away by the enemy.

Gao Jichong's army was camping, and there were definitely not tents or other things, but looking for some wood and thatch, simple building a shed, it was easier to spend the night at night. Pan Liu brought some tools in the village and built a ladder with his brothers. He couldn't count on too much to attack the city.

"General..." Gao Quan walked closer and bowed to Gao Jichong.

"Replace it with general in the future!" Gao Jichong waved his hand. The title of general was no longer available, and he didn't want to use it anymore. The feeling of relying on it is still good.

"General, why don't we talk to them?" Gao Quan suggested. They also captured a lot of prisoners. Knowing the situation in the city, if they forcibly attacked the city, they would probably suffer a lot of losses.

"A Quan, do you know why they dared to resist my orders before, and even colluded with Nan Han to take my life?" Gao Jichong shook his head. This was not the ending he wanted.

"General Gao, of course, I know that they deserve to die in all their sins, but there are not many brothers left." Gao Quan watched as his brothers became fewer and fewer, trying to avoid unnecessary casualties.

"I thought so before, but it obviously didn't work. I've been controlled by these people for too long. They must be wiped out and shocked. This is called breaking and then establishing." What Gao Jichong wanted was absolute control of Xiongzhou. Those people on the city walls were all obstacles and they had to be smashed one by one, not just for revenge.

I remember that before leaving, Sun Yu repeatedly explained to win over the majority and attack a small group. The ones on the city obviously belonged to that small group.

When they were killed, he could imitate the Zhongyong Army and carry out reforms in Xiongzhou.

Lian Yuanshan and others waited at the top of the city until dark. When they waited for the camp opposite Gao Jichong, they burned a bunch of bonfires, but they did not wait for the expected persuasion to surrender.

Originally, they all thought about it and were willing to return to their previous state. They agreed that Gao Jichong was the lord of Xiongzhou. There was no way, the situation was stronger than that of the people. Now they have strong soldiers and enough food and grass, so their situation was not good.

"Even the Fort Lord, let's go down first, it's windy at the top of the city." Qin Zhen was so hungry that he didn't move, but even Yuanshan didn't move, so he couldn't take his second son down the city first.

"Well, let me know and prepare for battle!" Lian Yuanshan knew that there was no way to avoid this battle, and Gao Jichong clearly wanted to fight a fierce battle.

Lian Yuanshan felt that he would take advantage of the city and would definitely give him a head-on blow tomorrow, forcing him to lower his posture to negotiate.

You don’t have to defeat the other party, just make him feel that the losses are unbearable.

Gao Jichong lay on the thatch, looking at the stars in the sky, and didn't know what Ling'er was doing and whether she could walk down the ground. When the place stabilized, it was time to take her over.

"General Gao, it's time to have a meal." Gao Quan shouted as he walked past Gao Ji Chong with a bowl.

"Bring me one." Gao Jichong handed over his job, and he wanted to see the starry sky again.

There is enough food and grass, but the hulling of rice is a problem. Anyway, the ones in Gaoji's bowl are better than brown rice. There is also a spoonful of wild vegetables found on it and two slices of mutton as thin as paper. It is a good food.

"Will

How should the army attack the city tomorrow?" Although Gao Quan has been in the army for many years, he has never fought a siege with Gao Jichong.

"This matter is Yi Er, just follow the cloud ladder and turn it over." Gao Jichong smiled and created so many cloud ladders just to attack the city tomorrow. As for the city gate, he didn't think about it. After entering Xiongzhou, all four gates were reinforced. It would take only one or two days to break it open.

"Can that work? People must have a huge rock rolling wood to greet you." Gao Quan shook his head. This was too dangerous. How many lives would he have to pile up?

"Our crossbowman is far superior to the other party. He can completely suppress the city. You will know tomorrow." Gao Jichong was confident. The weak brigade in the city had few bows and arrows. How could he block his powerful crossbow?

The night became darker, and both the city and the camps under the city became silent, with only the crackling sound of the bonfire burning.

The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and even Yuanshan caught up with the city wall. He had not had a good sleep all night. Judging from his observation yesterday, the resistance of each family was shaken.

He was the mastermind to harm Gao Jichong. If he could not fight a beautiful battle today, perhaps he would not have a good ending.

In the camp opposite, smoke was rising, and breakfast should be preparing.

"Are all brothers full?" Lian Yuanshan asked to the captain beside him.

"I'm eating, I'm paying enough!" The captain nodded. The battle is imminent, and he can't even fuck him.

These gentry changed their past stinginess and provided enough supplies. These two days have been full of food.

"Tell my brothers, eat meat tonight, and make great rewards!" Lian Yuanshan's heartbeats faster and faster. In order to save the city and save his life, he didn't mind making some money.

The other gentry rushed over one after another. Unlike yesterday, everyone carried their best weapons in their hands and wiped their armor shinyly.

The territory of Xiongzhou is no better than that of the Central Plains. Studying is just a pastime, and force is the guarantee of status. The primary condition for successors of major families is to be able to fight, which is why they dared to overthrow Gao Jichong and suppress Bao Zhengting.

Gao Jichong put down his bowl and stood on the simple high platform built last night. He placed a drum that had just been moved from Tianyao Village. He would use it to encourage the soldiers later.

As the sun grew higher, the troops began to be arranged, and ladders were carried by soldiers on their shoulders. As soon as the war drum sounded, they had to charge.

At the front are three rows of crossbowmen, with nearly a thousand people, which is Gao Jichong's strongest reliance.

The walls of Xiongzhou City were quite solid, but they lacked defense methods. At that time, the construction of the city walls was mainly to defend against bandits, and there were no big guys like catapults and crossbows.

"Even the castle master, we might as well take the initiative!" The captain who commanded the archer saw the opponent's crossbowman within the range of the feather arrow and was eager to make contributions.

"Okay!" Lian Yuanshan nodded. He pieced together the city and got three hundred archers, condescending, and the range should be enough.

In order for the crossbowman to exert his power, Gao Jichong was arranged at about forty steps. Even the weakest bow could be obtained at such a distance.

"Shoot the arrow!" The captain gave the order, and three hundred archers walked forward one after another to the side of the wall, pulled the bow and shot the arrow, and then prepared to continue.

The light feather arrows had no strength at all. The elite soldiers of the Loyal and Brave Army were very familiar with this. They were originally kneeling on one knee, but they just lowered their heads and covered their faces with their arms.

After a while of tinkling, the crossbowman's position was no different from before except for some more feather arrows.

The captain who has not yet established a meritorious position is so angry that he is so alive. You can still get through this side if you shoot a few of them.

"Didn't you eat? Use force." The roaring voice of the captain spread across the city, and the gentry in armored faced a serious expression.

The following crossbowmen were too elite. They were not only afraid of the armor, but also kept changing their faces and blocking them neatly.
