Night sky

Fires can be seen everywhere in the acropolis.

The Hu cavalry received a new order, and some people who were good at Chinese shouted: "Don't kill those who surrender!"

The sound shook the Acropolis. Seeing that there was no hope of resistance and that Luoyang would not have reinforcements, the Luoyang army, which was still resisting, finally collapsed and began to surrender one after another.

On Luoyang City, Liu Man looked at the changes in the Acropolis and roared angrily: "A bunch of incompetent!"

But he was furious at the Acropolis army that was about to collapse so quickly. But in a blink of an eye, someone shouted: "Look, the Hu people are here!"

Everyone hurriedly looked at it, and saw a piece of smoke and dust getting bigger and bigger. In the fire, hundreds of cavalry appeared in front of everyone and roared along the city.

"What are the archers waiting for? Shoot the arrow!" Liu Man roared angrily.

"...No!" In fact, this place is still far from the effective range of the bow and arrow, but the lord has orders and has to shoot it out.

I saw a storm of arrows passing by, but it fell on the soil one after another, which made the Hu people laugh at me.

However, these Hu people were still prepared to raise their heads, whistling along the city walls, shooting arrows at the city from time to time, and each arrow was filled with letters of persuasion.

"Swish swish swish swish!" With a sound of breaking through the air, the arrows and the letter fell into the city.

The crowd immediately became turbulent. Liu Man had a calm face. Hundreds of personal soldiers patrolled left and right, with swords and armor jingling. After a moment, personal soldiers stepped forward and sent arrows and letters of persuasion to Liu Man.

Liu Man, with a blue face, took the letter, shone in the fire, his hands trembled slightly, spread the letter and looked at the content inside.

"... If the Duke of Zheng in the city is willing to surrender, he will slaughter the people with the title of king."... All the generals are willing to lead their troops to surrender and be appointed as general... They must dare to resist stubbornly and attack the city, and they will be burned..."

Several letters have the same content, which is even higher than the Hu envoy who was in the palace that day.

But this time, Liu Man was not furious, but his face was pale, slowly clenched the letter in his hand and looked at Hu Bing below.

Below, under the flames and moonlight, smoke and dust rolled in the sound of drums and whistles. A large number of Hu people drove the surrendered soldiers out of the Acropolis, and stopped in a ball of roars and bows.

After a moment, the loose Hu people set up the formation calmly and shouted in unison. In just a moment, they formed a battle formation and drew out a long sword against the moonlight and firelight.

The sharp sword light formed a torrent in an instant, turning into an iron stream that was urged. Seeing the Hu people shouting together, the soldiers on the city were frightened and changed their colors!

"Long live (Hu language)!"

Amid the cheers of the Hu people roaring and tsunami, Huerbo slowly moved forward, wearing golden armor, and under the support of his close relatives, he came to Luoyang.

Behind were the burning fire, and the surrendered soldiers kneeling on the ground, surrounded by elite Hu soldiers. Huerbo's face turned red and he waved his hand to reach out to the cheering soldiers and subjects.

"Long live! Long live! Long live!" The call was even more overwhelming, one wave higher than another. This military power made the soldiers on the city tremble unconsciously.

Looking at the erect figure of the Hu prince below, Liu Man showed a terrifying look and couldn't speak in a daze.

That night, the army besieged the city without attacking. In the second half of the night, the Hu people also camped for rest, and the situation gradually calmed down.

By the way, in this world, Luoyang was the capital of the Dayan in the previous dynasty.

After the reunification of the world, Taizu of Dayan built a capital city, and repaired it. The inner and outer cities were made of Chengtian Small Taiji Hall and Xuanwu Gate as the central axis.

After Dayan moved the capital, the luxurious palace gradually became dusty. Most of the masters of Luoyang in all dynasties only opened and used the "forbidden garden" royal garden and attached palaces for their status and economic considerations.

Don't underestimate this palace, which also has 300 rooms, which is very luxurious. Liu Man was very proud of it and once boasted: "Although Wang Hongyi usurped the emperor, his palace is not as far away as his lonely one."

But now, I don't have this idea.

The light in the hall was very dark, and only a few candles were lit, which shone faintly. Of course, this was not because of lack of money or saving, but because Liu Man did not like Mingguang this time.

Liu Man looked calm and said nothing, but just kept pace, showing that he was in a very depressed mood.

Several eunuchs around him stood with their hands down, unable to see their expressions clearly. Because the Duke was in a bad mood, he killed two palace servants just now when he served tea. Now the atmosphere in the entire palace is depressing. Both eunuchs and palace maids are standing with their hands down, and they dare not make a sound.

"Duke, Madam Meihua is asking for a visit." At this time, an eunuch came in outside, crawled on the ground in front of Liu Man, and said carefully.

"She? What did she come here to do at this time?" Liu Man stopped and frowned slightly.

Mrs. Meihua is his inner relative, but she is not a family member, but a beauty presented by a family half a year ago.

This lady is beautiful, has a charming body, and has a faint fragrance, which is similar to plum blossoms. Therefore, she is called the plum blossom lady. Liu Man likes it very much, and she is favored and cherishes it very much.

Usually in the middle of January, Liu Man has to rest in this woman's residence for half of the time.

However, the military situation has been tense recently, and now the Hu people are in a big army. Liu Man is in his heart like cooking, so how can he feel?

When I heard Mrs. Plum Blossom ask for a meeting, I felt a little confused.

"Duke, Mrs. Meihua said that you didn't sleep all night and were diligent in political affairs and worried about your health. So you made some soup and came." The eunuch crawling on the ground said.

Liu Man's face was slightly calmer and he said lightly: "Let her come in."

"No!" The eunuch stood up and went out to pass the order.

After a while, a sound of ringing and jingling from far to near. This was a beautiful woman with high hair and exquisite top, supporting her chest and bulging and protruding, making her waist look slender. There were jingling pearls and jade around her waist. The opening of the skirt made a beautiful curve.

This charming point also has a kind of dignity, and I slowly bow to Liu Man.

"I've seen the Duke." Her voice was clear and sweet.

When Liu Man saw her staring at him with a worried look, he calmed down a little. He saw a palace maid behind him holding a plate in his hand, a bowl of soup on the plate, and smoke was still emitting smoke.

Liu Man said, "It's too late, it's hard for you to think about it, get up!"

Madam Meihua smiled and bowed again, saying, "I heard that after the Duke returned to the palace, he had not slept or had no meals, so he ordered the chef to stew a bowl of chicken and ginseng soup."

When Liu Man heard this, he smiled: "You are still thoughtful!"

As he said that, he smiled slightly and scooped the soup with a spoon. It was indeed a bit delicious, but if you have something in your heart, it would be difficult to show joy.

After taking a few sips, he put it down. Seeing the beauty on his side, he couldn't help but pull it. The plum blossom lady snuggled up on her body, allowing Liu Man's hand to explore the beauty and move in her skirt.

Seeing the mobile game on her chest, Madam Plum Blossom immediately felt deeply in love and couldn't speak, but just whispered.

In the past, she had already pressed her on her body, but at this moment, she got up. Liu Man sighed and said, "It's late at night, you go back!"

"Duke, you have a lot of trouble every day. How can I enjoy my leisure and remain indifferent in the back house?" When Madam Meihua heard Liu Man's words, her eyes suddenly turned red and she almost burst into tears.

The beauty's expression suddenly made people feel distressed. Liu Man's heart moved and said helplessly: "The Hu people are rampant outside. I really have something to do. I'm sorry... Do you know about the Hu people?"

Liu Man raised his head and looked at her.

"The Hu people surrounded Luoyang City. Although it was only midnight, everyone in the city knew about it. Although I was in the palace, I heard some news." Mrs. Meihua turned behind Liu Man, gently pressed his head with her bare hands, massaged her while saying.

"When I hear the news, I will be worried and unable to sleep. I have made some soup to send to the Duke. But I don't know what the Duke is worried about?"

"Luoyang City is your city. You have been governed in an orderly and solid manner. Even if the Hu army has tens of thousands of soldiers, what are you afraid of?" Mrs. Meihua said softly while massaged her gently.

The fatigue of the day was eliminated by the massage of the delicate hands.

Liu Man closed his eyes slightly and said with a wry smile: "I was not afraid in the past, but by chance, the 70,000 troops suffered a great loss. Now that the acropolis is broken, there are only 15,000 troops in the city."

"It would be fine if it was just like this. No matter how aggressive the Hu people in the besieged city came, they would only be tens of thousands of times. Our army could resist it as much as possible by following the Luoyang City."

"I am most afraid that the people in the city will be shaken, and they will cooperate inside and outside..."

In front of his gentle woman, Liu Man finally exuded his anxiety.

The Hu people are cruel. If the city is broken, it will be a disaster immediately. I am afraid that they will die and the clan will be destroyed. And the woman in front of me will be even more difficult to have a good end.

"Duke, you have good governance, who will have any unfair intentions?" Mrs. Meihua was very surprised.

"Things have changed, people's hearts are rare..."

Mrs. Meihua stopped her hand and said, "I believe there will be a solution for the National Guild."

After a pause, she said again: "I am just a woman with a poor life. I will repay you with great kindness from the Duke of the Kingdom. But the two young men have to plan early.

After hearing this, Liu Man was a little silent. Seeing that he was silent, Madam Meihua smiled slightly but stopped saying more.

"Madam, I will consider this matter, you go down!" Liu Man said for a long time.

Mrs. Plum Blossom said gently: "Yes!"

Take people out.

Liu Man was silent in the hall, paced back and forth, and the words of Mrs. Plum Blossom inspired his feelings.

After running a few steps, Liu Man suddenly ordered: "Light a few candles here."

"Yes!" Immediately, someone responded, the candle light shone in the mirror, looking inside, and saw the mustard-white face of a middle-aged man.

When I was young and worked hard, I naturally formed minions and gangsters.

Later, he killed the enemy, eliminated the rebels, expelled the enemy generals, and finally seized the power and entered Luoyang. He originally wanted to work hard to govern, fight the east and west, and gained the world.

A few years ago, I was still full of energy and majestic look at the world. In a blink of an eye, I was in a state of success and achieved nothing. Now the situation is in danger and the troops are at the city.

Gradually, the ambition faded, and an indescribable fatigue appeared in my heart.
