Qiu Zhi stood at the top of Xiawei City, looked at the disarray outside the city, shook his head and sighed: "The Red Eyebrow Thief is still the Red Eyebrow Thief. In this way, what can he do if he enters Chang'an?"

His younger brother Qiu Yuan said, "Brother, I have offended the Red Eyebrow thief. What if their army comes to attack?"

"So what? If you offend him, his army will attack you, and we will die in battle; if you don't offend him, his army will rob you, and we will starve to death."

"Then I have to wait for death. Is there no other way?"

"Yes, join the gang! Recruiting soldiers and horses, joining the thieves, killing them with them, and robbing them."

"Is it possible that my brother is going to surrender to the Red Eyebrow Thieves?" Qiu Yuan said in shock: "Why did he advocate resistance yesterday? Why didn't he surrender directly?"

"Yesterday? What kind of person came yesterday? Can anyone surrender? "Qiu Zhi sneered, "Yesterday was an incompetent person who led a nest of begging for food, but came to fight Qiu Feng. Even if you and I were willing to surrender, they might not be able to avoid robbery and ensure the safety of the city."

"Who is the one who is willing to surrender?"

"Whoever can keep the peace of the city and keep the wealth of my enemies will surrender to anyone. As for the Red Eyebrow Thieves, hehe..."

Qiu Zhi was originally a subordinate of Lian Dan, the general of Gengshi in the Xin Dynasty. He followed Lian Dan to fight in Qingzhou to suppress the Red Eyebrow Army. Lian Dan originally wanted to slowly find a fighter opportunity, but the new Taizu Wang Mang couldn't wait. He issued an edict to blame Lian Dan and said, "The granaries are exhausted, the treasury is empty, you can be angry, you can fight!" Lian Dan was afraid to go to battle, so he was dragged down by his pig teammate Wang Kuang and was defeated and died.

The boss died, Qiu Zhi returned to his hometown. Seeing that his new vitality had been exhausted, he no longer served in the officialdom and lived in seclusion in the village. The Red Eyebrow Army entered Guanzhong, and Xiami City was halfway through its westward to Chang'an. Gengshi Prime Minister Li Song sent troops to garrison. The Red Eyebrow Army was in great power. The defending general abandoned the city and fled after a little resistance. Xiami City was tragically looted.

Fan Chong, who had been fleeing a handful of wool, continued to move westward. The residents of Xiaji City discussed closing the city to defend themselves. They felt that Qiu Zhi was from a regular army, fought a war, and looked strong as Kong Wu, so they invited him to take charge of the county defense.

Qiu Zhi did not refuse and immediately recruited the whole city to recruit young and strong people, obtained three thousand people, collected food and grass everywhere, built fortifications day and night, and prepared to defend the city.

Just at this moment, He Changnian bumped into him. Qiu Zhi fought with the Red Eyebrow Army in Qingzhou and knew very well how they fought. He was prepared and was not prepared. He Changnian suffered a great loss and escaped overnight.

Just as the priest breathed a sigh of relief and thought he had escaped a wave of plunder, someone came to report: "There is another army and horse!"

The brothers of the enemy looked from a distance and saw smoke and dust in the north, faint flags waving, and a team was coming down to the city.

Qiu Yuandao: "Yesterday, the spy said that the Red Eyebrow thief had two groups of people, attacking the city and camping in the north of the city. I guess it was this team."

Qiu Zhi smiled slightly and said, "No, this is not a red-eyed thief!"

"Why?"

"I have fought with the Red Eyebrow thief for dozens of years and know very well what they know. The Red Eyebrow thief never set up a flag or a lineup. They come and go like sheep on the grassland, coming and going, scattering in a rush. On the other hand, this team has many flags and a strict lineup. You can tell at a glance that they are officers and soldiers, and they are rare elite soldiers, but they don't know who they are."

"Brother, the officers and soldiers are here, what should we do? Should we welcome or reject?"

The officers and soldiers they mentioned are of course Gengshi Army. At least so far, this is still a legal regime recognized by the people of Guanzhong.

"No matter whether it is an official or a thief, I just need to go down to the city to be safe and sound... Let's see the situation first."

When Qiu Zhi saw this team, he immediately put away his contempt. He was a professional soldier and an expert in fighting. When he saw the other party's military appearance, he had an intuitive judgment on his combat effectiveness. In terms of military appearance, this army can be said to be very majestic.

"It looks like this, it doesn't look like a county soldier, but rather like an imperial guard from Chang'an. The imperial guards appeared here. Could it be that Gengshi's army won in Chang'an and the vanguard's counterattack was here?" Qiu Zhi was murmured in his heart.

But when the other party got closer and saw their strange military uniforms, Qiu Zhi felt something was wrong, because this was definitely not the dress of an imperial guard.

Not the Red Eyebrow Thieves or Gengshi Army, which team is it? Qiu Zhi is becoming more and more confused.

At this time, the other party was not far away. A row of soldiers walked forward in neat steps, walked to the city, and shouted loudly to the top of the city: "His Majesty the Emperor of Han's personal army, the cavalry captain of the Longxiang Camp of the Yulin Army was ordered to enter the city to comfort the people, and ordered you to put down your swords and guns, quickly open the city gate, and welcome the army into the city!"

The soldiers kept shouting to the top of the city, and everyone on the city was talking, "Is the Yulin Army? Longxiang Camp?"

"I understand, I understand!" A young and strong man suddenly shouted: "It is the little cattle-herding emperor who was in Zheng County to provide disaster relief!"

The reputation of the little cattle-herding emperor has spread around the surrounding areas. He has used all his strength to help the people of several counties and saved the lives of thousands of people. Even in Xiabi, many people went to Zheng County to eat.

"I heard that his personal army, Yulin Army, are all teenage baby soldiers, is that true?"

"Look! Are you standing below? They are really young!"

Qiu Zhi then realized that this was the personal army of Emperor Jianshi Liu Penzi. He said that it was a group of red-eyed thieves, but looking at this team, how could it look like a red-eyed thieves?

"I heard that Emperor Jianshi is good at training troops. The troops he brought are majestic and obeying orders. It looks really interesting." Qiu Zhi said.

"Why don't you join me and make achievements?" Qiu Yuan always felt that this brother had great ambitions and was a capable person, and should not be buried in the village.

Qiu Zhi smiled slightly, "It would be too kind to take generals' rations for food and food for the people."

"Isn't the Lord of Benevolence and Deity the people of the world looking forward to?"

"The people of the world hope for benevolence, but they are more eager for stability. Without stability, there will be no good life for the people. Therefore, what is urgently needed is not the lord of benevolence, but the strong one who can eliminate all the heroes and return the world to stability. As kind as the Cattle-herding Emperor, he may lose his weakness. If he is in a prosperous era, he will be the lord of success. Unfortunately, he is born in a chaotic era and will inevitably be in danger of losing his country."

Qiu Zhi believed that the young emperor was too soft-hearted and could not accomplish anything big. But today, when he saw the appearance of the Yulin Army, his view changed a little, because it is difficult for soft-hearted people to train elite soldiers who are prohibited from being enforced.

The soldiers under the city were still shouting.

Gou Giant and a dozen people from Linyi Camp were behind the team. Gou Giant asked, "What are he shouting in such a mess?"

Someone replied, "I'm asking the people in the city to open the door and surrender."

"What dream did you have in broad daylight? The more than 10,000 soldiers in our Linyi Camp have not surrendered. He has only a few thousand people, so he asked the city to surrender. Isn't this Captain Sun sick? "Gou Juren sneered.

"You dare not fight? Just delay the time! The army that drags the prime minister is coming."

"Would he be yelling here for a few days?"

"Call me, I'm idle anyway. These baby soldiers are OK just queuing up and walking, but they don't have to pay any attention when they arrive on the battlefield."

Gou Giant thought to himself that General He wanted to get rid of the blame and put the enemy's crime of not being able to take down the enemy's city on Longxiang Camp. If Sun Yi did not attack the city and only talked, when the army arrived, he would naturally not be able to blame Linyi Camp. If Sun Yi had a strong attack, the defensive ability shown by the following night would not be able to be defeated at all. No matter what, Longxiang Camp would have to take the blame.

After shouting for half an hour, the flag was waving, all the soldiers who persuaded surrender turned back and lined up to return to their team. It seemed that they had given up persuading surrender and stopped shouting.

Then Madam Meng came out of the array, and with him were dozens of powerful crossbowmen, each with a big yellow crossbow, including a big yellow ginseng crossbow.

Meng Qian was very happy. Since the last battle at Zhumapo, the powerful crossbowmen have lost their human skewers and have to return to the training ground to shoot the straw men. Although Madam Meng shot a bunch of straw men every day, she always felt that she couldn't get excited.

"When can I skewer human flesh skewers again?" Meng Qian said so as soon as he was training.

Now, there is finally another chance.

He had already set sights on a densely packed place and was ready to shoot him a few crossbows.

"Thanks to the fact that there was no surrender in the city, hehe." Meng Qian breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little happy.

Behind the team, Gou Giant breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face, "I finally started to attack the city. The crime suffered by Linyi Camp yesterday should also be borne by Longxiang Camp."

The powerful crossbowmen have rolled the crossbow arrows, looking for targets, waiting for the order to open fire.

The range of the yellow crossbow is several hundred steps long. If the opponent does not have a corresponding crossbow to counterattack, he will be able to be suppressed by the long-range firepower of the Longxiang Camp.

As Sun Yi raised his hand, everyone held their breath, and when he waved his hand and ordered the attack to start the siege.

But he looked up at the city wall with his head held high, but his raised hand was not waved for a long time.

Meng Qian was impatient when he waited, so he had been aiming for a long time. If he didn't order, the target on the city wall would move.

He muttered, "Why haven't you..."

At this moment, the city gate suddenly opened, and one man rode his horse out of the city first. Behind him, two knights were holding the flags of the Han Dynasty, and dozens of knights came out one after another.

Meng An felt something was not very good. His big baby might have to go back to play with the grass man again. When he looked back, Sun Yi had indeed taken his hand back.

Qiu Zhidang jumped off the horse first, saluted respectfully, and shouted: "Qiu Zhi, the lieutenant of Xiabi County, welcome the captain of the Longxiang Camp of the Yulin Army into the city!"

The moment he recognized the Yulin Army, the people of Xiagui unanimously decided to give up resistance. Will an emperor who gave the military rations he had raised with great difficulty to the people to eat, plunder the people of Xiagui? Of course, it will not. A fool will not surrender!

Gou Giant looked surprised and said, "Why don't you hit us anymore? I hit us so fiercely yesterday. Why did you surrender when you meet before you shoot an arrow? This is simply a bully!"

"What is this? You don't even have to shoot a crossbow, even if you just shoot an arrow, you'll be skewers!" Mrs. Meng in front of the formation was so angry that she twisted her feet and stomped her feet, "What are you not doing? This is too bullying!"
