...

As the war is approaching, the entire Fanyang City is shrouded in the shadow of war...

Xue Chengzong walked towards the city wall lonely, looking at the crowds running around in order to avoid war, his face was full of fear and numbness. He just sneered from his mouth and continued to walk towards the city wall without saying a word.

The city walls were also in a mess. As a result of a decisive battle that ended in a crushing defeat a few days ago, the morale of the defenders could be said to have fallen to the bottom.

In addition, the army was cut off food, and the hungry soldiers began to spontaneously form small groups, specifically waiting for opportunities to find the lonely comrades, and then hunt them one by one to make food...

When Xue Chengzong appeared in front of them, the soldiers made way for him out of instinct, and the numb expression on their faces did not change any of them because Xue Chengzong was the governor.

Xue Chengzong and his followers climbed up the city wall together, stood at a squadron and looked out...

At first sight, outside Fanyang City, a large crowd of people formed a huge array of sieges and extended to the rear, and towering siege towers stood under the dim sky.

The army of refugees shouted in unison and roared with excitement, and even the sky seemed to change its color...

It is roughly estimated that at least 200,000 enemies under Fanyang City are ready to attack the lonely city they are in at any time.

"Where is the army of our governor?" Xue Chengzong said to himself, "Where is the world-famous Jingchu Chongbu? Where have you gone?"

Outside Fanyang City...

Huang Fu and Sun Xiushi nodded, signaling that he could launch an attack.

"Occurrence~~"

“Woo~~”

At the command of Sun Xiushi, the dull horn sounded...

"Brothers, kill them~ kill all these dog officials~~"

"Kill~~"

"Aoao~~"

The 50,000 vanguard troops, inspired by a one-eyed general, rushed towards the Fanyang city walls. The stationary siege towers slowly moved forward again under the help of refugees.

"Well……"

Above the city wall, the defenders who saw the Huangfu army launching a general attack, involuntarily let out a low moan from their throats.

Their faces were filled with fear, and their bodies kept trembling as the war came, and their hands holding the weapon were filled with sweat.

"The Jiang family, we will never save you!"

Looking at the enemy troops coming like a tide, Xue Chengzong still gritted his teeth and said to himself, without any intention of commanding the defenders to resist.

"The court betrayed his faith and abandoned the Xue family!"

Seeing the ladders being laid on the city wall, Xue Chengzong's bloodshot eyes burst into tears.

"We are isolated and helpless and are destined to die here!"

Xue Chengzong's fist was tightly tight, and because of his emotions, his whole body couldn't stop trembling.

Suddenly, Xue Chengzong's pupils shrank, and he suddenly took the drumstick from a drummer next to him. He turned around and shouted loudly at the defenders on the city wall and under the city, "Don't resist anymore, give up! Go escape~"

After saying that, Xue Chengzong waved the drumstick and beat the drum surface heavily, and then continued to beat the drum horn vigorously.

All the defenders around were shocked. They never expected that Xue Chengzong would make such a decision, but it was too late to stop him.

The defenders in fear were already scared. After hearing the sound of the retreating drums, they threw down their weapons and gave up their posts like crazy. They crowded and fled under the city wall.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Looking at the scene of the defenders on the city wall surviving one by one, Xue Chengzong, who had already begun to be crazy, laughed wildly while beating the drum, and finally dropped the drumsticks. When the first enemy army climbed to the city wall, he strided to join the escape team...

"It seems that Xue Chengzong has admitted that he has failed..."

Looking at the head of Fanyang City being taken off so easily, Huang Fu jokingly said calmly.

Such a result can be said to be within Huang Fu's expectations. Since winning the decisive battle a few days ago, Huang Fu has realized that his years of confrontation with Xue Chengzong finally decided on the winner, and he is the final winner.

Sun Xiushi bowed and said to Huang Fu: "Congratulations to the Grand Marshal, Jing Chu has already made it, your great cause has finally been completed..."

Huang Fu was deeply moved: "I was also a scholar back then. I was poor and had no money to respect officials from all over the country. I finally borrowed some money to reach the capital of Shendu.

But I was rejected by the officials and gentry in the city. At that time, I swear that if one day I could become a powerful person, I would have to talk to the emperor of the Great Zhou. Now, this goal is about to be achieved..."

After Huang Fu finished speaking, he sighed again, his expression seemed to return to the scenes he encountered in the capital of Shen, and his situation of looking for clothes and food to protect the cold on the hungry corpse.

"Give me instructions and surround the Governor's Office. I want to ask Xue Chengzong personally whether he is convinced or not!"

Huang Fu shook his clear yellow cloak behind him, left a proud sentence before turning around and leaving.

...

At noon, the main force of the Huangfu army flocked into the city. After controlling all the important roads in the city, they immediately plundered and indulged the people and the rich gentry.

This is Huang Fu's promise to the soldiers and a means to quickly train farmers and civilians into combat-capable soldiers. Only after these refugees taste the sweetness can they follow themselves more loyally...

Huang Fu, Sun Xiushi, Gao Xiang and Luo Song were escorted by the guards, walking indifferently on the chaotic streets and walked towards the Governor's Mansion step by step.

When they arrived at the gates' palace that was surrounded by water, the four of them were stunned and then strode into the inside.

In the palace hall, there were scattered documents and books everywhere. In the huge empty main hall, only Xue Chengzong held the sword in his hand and sat upright on the main desk.

The expression on his face was very calm, and there was no panic at all, as if he had been waiting for Huangqi to arrive.

"Governor Xue, don't be fine..."

Huang Fu stopped the guards around him from arresting Xue Chengzong, but instead greeted him calmly.

Xue Chengzong sneered, suddenly drew his sword and pointed it at him and said, "Huang Fu, you traitor, have you committed such a great crime of rebellion, and you can't surrender quickly?"

Huang Fu's mouth twitched slightly: "Xue Chengzong, you still have to pretend to be so strong? Now the entire Jingchu provinces are under my control. How can you surrender me if you let me?"

Xue Chengzong said: "Huang Fu, don't be proud. The aristocratic families in the world will definitely crush you to ashes!"

"Then I'll wait for this day!" Huang Fu replied tightly with a cloak on his body, "But I'm afraid you won't see that day. Are you ready to realize it?"

When Xue Chengzong heard this, his hand shook and the sword fell on the table in an instant, and his face turned extremely lonely.

Huang Fu took a step forward and continued to say to Xue Chengzong: "Xue Chengzong, you should know my methods. You killed Wang Yizhi (who was in charge of the leader with Huang Fu, and was later beheaded by Xue Chengzong using fraud). As the leader of the rebel army, how could I let you and your family go?

However, if you are willing to ask me and ask me for satisfaction, I may save you a life, and then let you watch the men of the Xue family die one by one, and then watch us insult your female family in public..."

"Huang Fu, don't be foolish!" Xue Chengzong said angrily, "I want to make me bow down to you? What do you think you are? Before your army entered the city, I had already ordered people to send all my family out of Fanyang City!"

"Is that right?" Huang Fu didn't care at all when he heard this. "I can't go far. I'll order someone to chase you later. But since you don't want to beg for mercy, I won't force you. I'll think of you dealing with me for many years. I will give you a happy time..."

"You traitor is not qualified to kill me!" Xue Chengzong roared and suddenly picked up the long sword on the table. "As the head of the Xue family, I should retain the last trace of backbone. Even if I die, I should make a decision!"

After saying that, Xue Chengzong committed suicide by crossing his sword, and blood instantly spilled throughout the hall of the Governor's Mansion.

Huang Fu looked at Xue Chengzong's body calmly, and after a long time, he slowly spoke: "It's also a man. I'll tell you to roll up a mat and find a place to bury it. Don't let the beasts take it away..."

Upon hearing this, the guards next to him immediately restrained Xue Chengzong's body...

As soon as Xue Chengzong died, Huang Fu finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and said to Sun Xiushi and others: "The Battle of Jingchu has finally come to an end. Next, it's time to discuss the next steps..."

Gao Xiang and Luo Song looked at each other and were about to speak, but suddenly they saw Qin Zongquan coming to report excitedly: "Report to the Grand Marshal, all the wealthy families in the city have been arrested. Be good, there are as many as eight or nine thousand people inside and outside, and they are all waiting for the Grand Marshal to fall..."

Huang Fu waved his hand and said, "Why do you need to ask me about this little thing? All males will be killed, and all female relatives will be sent to the military prostitute camp. Let the brothers have fun, which can be regarded as a relief to the fatigue of fighting for days..."

"Thank you, Magistrate, I will do it now..." Qin Zongquan responded excitedly and left with great strides.

After Qin Zongquan left, Luo Song then said to Huang Fu: "Master, the situation is different now. Please don't do such a harm to the people again..."

Gao Xiang also advised: "Yes, Grand Marshal, Fan Yang has already stepped down. Now it is time to regain the hearts of the people. How can you do such evil deeds again? Let's restrain yourself..."

When Huang Fu heard this, he was unhappy and said to the two: "The Japanese general once swore that I would kill all the men in their family who fell into the hands of this general, and women would become the most despicable girls!

If I let them go, wouldn’t it be like I’d like to let them go? Think about those aristocratic families, which one does not enjoy a rich life with people’s wealth? Which one does not have the behavior of the people?

If you pity them, why don’t you pity the people who are persecuted by them?”

Luo Song hurriedly said, "Since the general said that, the people in the city are now being robbed by the rebels, what should we explain?"

Huang Fu was stunned, glared at Luo Song, then slapped his head and sighed: "If General Luo hadn't reminded me, I almost missed the big thing.

OK, I will order to stop looting and send all the women from the wealthy families to comfort them, and to calm their restlessness..."

Luo Song and Gao Xiang heard this and then felt a little relieved. Luo Song bowed and said to Huang Fu: "In this way, I would like to thank the general before..."

Huang Fu smiled and said, "General Luo, you are polite. I will do my best to do today's achievements, all thanks to General Luo. Please ask General Luo to whip me more in the future. If I have any shortcomings in this coach, I hope to point it out so as not to make a big mistake..."
