    "Okay!" Fang Qifei saw Demon King Zheng looking like this, and blood immediately rushed to his face. He stood up suddenly and shouted loudly: "Starting from tomorrow morning, everyone will take turns to attack the city, starting with me, and the rest  Let¡¯s draw lots and ship the baggage back to Hangzhou first, while the Demon King¡¯s will stay at the back, and we¡¯ll take the lead when we withdraw our troops!¡± ¡°Okay!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s fight to the death!¡± Everyone in the tent responded with enthusiasm.  However, no one noticed that Li Xu, who had the loudest voice, had something strange in his eyes.  It¡¯s almost the third watch and the fourth watch, which is the most difficult time for people on night watch.  Beside the dock of the canal, six or seven Manichaeans were dozing around the fire, holding bamboo guns. Farther away, Liu San was dozing off against an old locust tree. Suddenly, several night birds appeared on the tree.  The croak flew away, waking him up. He rubbed his confused eyes, tightened his clothes tightly, and looked at his companions by the bonfire with some envy.  At this time, the footsteps of several people were heard not far away. Liu San raised his bamboo gun nervously and shouted to the source of the sound: "Who is it?" "It's me!" A voice came from the place where the footsteps came from,  Liu San saw four or five people walking out under the swaying light and shadow. The leader was a young and strong man with a yellow silk scarf that was only worn by the leader. It was Li Xu.  Liu San quickly put away his bamboo gun, crossed his hands and saluted: "Leader Li, why are you out so late?" "If you can't sleep, just come out for a walk!" Li Xu had a bitter smile on his face, and he pointed  Pointing to the wine cans held by the attendants behind him, he said: "Come out and have a drink with the brothers that night to pass the time. Why are you the only one on duty tonight? Where are the others?" "Thank you, leader!" Liu San hurriedly said  He saluted again, pointed at the six or seven men behind the fire and said, "Everyone else is over there!" "Oh!" Li Xu nodded, with an expression of relief on his face, and turned to face the man behind him.  The entourage said: "You guys take the wine, I will say a few words to this brother and then go over!" Those people responded and walked towards the fire. Liu San was flattered and talked to Li Xu.  After a few chats, there were suddenly some strange noises coming from behind. He turned around and found that the men who had delivered the wine had thrown the clay pots on the ground, and drew their swords to kill their companions who were sleeping soundly next to the fire one by one.  Liu San was about to open his mouth and shout.  Suddenly there was a sharp pain in the back of his heart. He turned his head with great effort and saw that Li Xu's face was full of murderous intent.  Panting, Li Xu pulled out the wrist-breaking knife from the corpse on the ground and wiped it on the corpse.  He stood up and sheathed the knife.  do not know why.  Those few blows just now consumed a lot of his energy.  At this time, the brief massacre next to the fire had ended. The leading man ran to Li Xu and whispered: "All the heads have been killed! No one outside was alarmed!" "Okay!" Li Xu nodded,  He took out a piece of white silk from his arms, tied it to his right arm, and said in a cold voice: "Bring our people here immediately, set fire to the granary first, and then set fire to the camp. The one with the white cloth tied to his right arm is  Kill all the others!" When he said the last word "kill", his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between Li Xu's teeth.  He pulled out the saber from his waist and said loudly: "Everyone's wealth and life depend on tonight!" On the south gate tower of Xiuzhou, Zhou Ping stood behind the parapet, his eyes staring at the distance for a moment.  Enemy camp.  Although he tried his best to appear calm and composed, it was not difficult to see the excitement in this man's heart from the twitching of his cheek muscles from time to time.  "What time is it?" Zhou Ping asked in a low voice.  "It's still a quarter before the fourth watch!" Chang Zongtian behind him replied in a deep voice. He looked at Zhu Lei, who was a little uneasy, and whispered: "Be patient in custody, this kind of thing cannot be rushed!" Zhou Ping  He nodded without answering. After about half a moment, he whispered: "Get water!" "Water!" Luo Sheer on the side quickly handed over the water hyacinth. Zhou Ping pulled out the stopper and took two sips.  The cold water flowed into his mouth, making him shiver.  At this moment, someone suddenly heard someone shouting: "It's on fire, the fire is coming!" "What?" Zhou Ping's hand trembled, and the gourd in his hand fell down, bumped twice on the female wall, and rolled towards the outside of the city wall.  After falling, he didn't care so much. He threw himself on the parapet and looked in the direction of the enemy camp. He saw more than ten pillars of fire rising slowly in the direction of the Manichaeans in the night sky, and the fire was still expanding and spreading rapidly.  Apparently this was the result of arson.  "There's something going on! Li Xu's something's happening!" Zhu Lei's voice was already hoarse. Zhou Ping was surprised to see that this man's face was full of tears. After a moment of shock, he realized that this man should be the most pressured person among all the people on the tower.  The biggest reason is very simple. If nothing happens overnight, as a contact person, he will most likely become the target of his anger.  Thinking of this, Zhou Ping couldn't help but feel proud.With a smile, whether it is himself or this man named Zhu Lei, life is in the hands of others at this time. When will he take control of his own destiny and run rampant under this vast sky?  "Do you want to open the city gate?" The person who spoke was Xue Liangyu. Zhou Ping had already controlled his emotions at this time. He looked at his eager men indifferently and said in a deep voice: "Give me the order. The soldiers should eat, feed their horses, and have a good rest.  The city gate is not allowed to be opened without my order!¡± The Manichean camp was already in chaos. The tongues of fire seemed to be alive, licking tents, grain stacks, wooden fences and everything else that could be burned.  Under the firelight, groups of men with white cloths wrapped around their right arms, holding torches, swords and guns, rushed into the camp, lit the tents on fire, and then killed each of the men who were still sleepy-eyed just after they got out of the tents.  The sky above the camp was filled with shouts of death, screams, and the crackle of burning wood.  Fang Qifei rushed out of his tent, the flashing firelight shining on his upper body, like a demon.  But everything that was happening in front of him seemed like a nightmare in Fang Qifei's eyes.  "What's going on? Who is it? Who did it?" Fang Qifei's cry sounded like a cry. The strong man suddenly pulled out the saber in his hand and gave it a few false blows. The blade and the air made sharp sounds.  There was a loud noise, but this could not change what was happening before him. He fell to his knees in despair, threw himself on the ground, and burst into tears.  "Commander, Commander, Seventh Brother, Seventh Brother!" A familiar voice shouted, helping Fang Qifei up. The person who appeared in front of him was Chen Antian. His face was full of panic, and there were people behind him.  Followed by forty or fifty disheveled men.  "Li Xu rebelled. He killed the guards at the dock and set fire to several villages. He must have surrendered to the army!" "What?" Fang Qifei felt like a thunderbolt hit his head, and then he got up from the ground.  Gritting his teeth, he slashed with a knife: "I have to peel off the skin and bones of this villain!" Chen Antian quickly grabbed Fang Qifei and said: "How can you find this among the soldiers? Let's go quickly, we will arrive in the city at dawn.  It's too late for the officers and soldiers to come out!" "Where to go?" Fang Qifei pointed at the surroundings with flames and crowds of people, and said sadly: "The situation is not good now. If we let the people around us escape,  When the powerful man sees it, he must take it to the government to receive the reward. Rather than suffer such humiliation, it is better to stay here and fight to the death, and have the honor to see Mingzun after death!" "You can keep the green hills here, don't worry about not having firewood, I'll come!  I saw it when we arrived, the camp over at Demon King Fang is not in chaos yet, let¡¯s go to his side and talk about it later!¡± Chen Antian made a gesture, and several of his men stepped forward and dragged Fang Qifei out.  Before leaving, he threw the torch at Fang Qifei's handsome tent, and the flames immediately started flying on the coarse cloth soaked in tung oil.  On the tower of the south gate of Xiuzhou, several barriers blocked the cold wind and surrounded an open space. Inside the barrier, Zhou Ping and his more than ten generals, Zuo Fen, were sitting on a bed. There were steaming meats placed on the small table in front of them.  Soup, pickles, rice, pancakes.  Zhou Ping, who was wearing a white dress, was the first to pick up the bowls and chopsticks and said with a smile: "Everyone has a good meal, and then goes out to kill the thieves. There is no need for wine before the battle. When you return in triumph, a certain family and you will  "Drink!" "Thank you for your imprisonment!" the generals responded in unison.  They also picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started eating. It was not the first time for these people to go into battle. They didn't say much. They lowered their heads to eat and drink. For a while, they were full of chewing sounds.  Zhou Ping had just taken a few bites when suddenly a primary school student from the city ran up to him, crossed his hands and saluted Zhou Ping, and said: "Prisoner, there is a person outside the city who claims to be a surrender, and he said he has something important to meet with the prisoner!  "Oh?" Zhou Ping put down his bowls and chopsticks and glanced at Zhu Lei, who was waiting at the side: "Envoy Zhu, go and see who it is?" "Here!" Zhu Lei responded and hurriedly followed the primary school.  He passed by, and after a while he ran back excitedly and said respectfully: "I am reporting to the prison, this is the villain's brother-in-law Li Xu. I have something important to report to you!" "Oh!" Zhou Ping showed an interested expression on his face.  , making a gesture indicating that he should be brought up.  After a while, Zhu Lei came up with a man with a face full of dust. He fell to the ground after only a dozen steps. He walked four or five steps on his knees and kowtowed: "The sinner Li Xu pays homage to the Taiwei!" "Please get up!" Zhou Ping  After looking up and down at the man on the ground, he saw that the man raised his head and made eye contact with me, then fell down again.  "Li Xu has done such a thing, how can he stand in front of the Taiwei!" Zhou Ping smiled slightly, thinking to himself that this person is quite a figure. According to what Luo Sheer said when he came back, he had no intention of surrendering at first, so he must have  I got some news that made Yi Zhi vote for the government.  However, once the decision was made, ruthless measures were taken. Judging from the movements outside the city, the siege of Xiuzhou must have been solved. In the winter, and there are no food ships, the tens of thousands of Mani thieves may not be able to return to Hangzhou even ten times in a row.  There won't even be a fraction of it, even if you count?Everything is lost in his hands. He can be cruel but also tolerant. You must be wary of this kind of person.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
