Chapter 487
Liu Bei arrived outside Xiapi City with his soldiers.
Looking at the closed city gate, he knew that Mi Zhu in the city must have received the news.
"Rebel Mi Zhu, open the gate and surrender immediately."
Liu Bei, riding on a warhorse, shouted at the city wall.
"How dare you rebel in broad daylight."
"It is really treason."
"You can be spared the death penalty if you surrender now."
"Otherwise, I, the governor of Xuzhou, will break through the city and wipe out your entire family!"
The harsh roar echoed in the wilderness.
Finally, a figure appeared on the city wall.
"Xuan De, how are you?"
Mi Zhu appeared on the city wall with his hands behind his back.
With a confident look on his face and a leisurely smile, he continued: "Xuan De wants to wipe out my entire family, but I am afraid he has no chance."
"But I can tell you some news."
"Come here, bring up Xuan De's wife Chen."
A young woman was escorted by two soldiers.
It was Chen Deng's sister.
She was married to Liu Bei by the Chen family.
"You!!"
Liu Bei's eyes were red with anger.
He waved his sword and pointed at the city wall.
"You treacherous thief, what kind of man are you if you threaten me with a woman!"
"If you have the guts, lead your troops out of the city and fight me!"
"You can choose whether to fight a general or a soldier."
"Don't attack the family members!"
Mi Zhu smiled on the wall, "Xuan De, don't judge a gentleman by your mean heart."
"Your wife is in Xia Pi City, I support her."
"Although she is a prisoner, she has not suffered any humiliation."
"I provide her with good food and drink every day, and I have never neglected her."
"Xuan De, don't worry."
Liu Bei was furious, "Bullshit on you!!"
"When this state governor breaks through Xia Pi City, I will definitely treat your Mi family women well."
"I will never neglect them!"
"Come here!"
Liu Bei turned around and shouted, no longer looking at the lonely woman on the wall.
"Set up camp immediately and prepare to build siege weapons."
"The Mi family is in Xia Pi City, and they will definitely do evil to my wife and daughter."
"We must break it quickly to rescue my family!"
"When the time comes, all the property and land of the Mi family will be rewarded to the soldiers."
"The first one to climb the city will get a hundred gold coins and a thousand acres of good farmland!!"
With Liu Bei's promise, the Xuzhou soldiers outside the city were inspired to fight.
"Break the city!!"
"Rescue my family!!"
The roars, one higher than the other, resounded outside Xia Pi City.
Under Liu Bei's orders, the Xuzhou soldiers built temporary camps and cut wood to build siege weapons.
On the city wall, Mi Zhu still looked out of the city with his hands behind his back.
"If it weren't for the order from the master of the family, you Liu Xuande would have died under the arrows of the crossbow cart today."
"You are still useful to Tang Hai..."
Mi Zhu retracted his gaze, told the soldiers and turned to go down the city wall.
In the camp outside the city, Xuzhou soldiers came in and out.
Some were cutting wood, and some were building ladders.
Many soldiers started to cook, and they were busy until the evening and were ready to eat.
While they were busy, a strong fragrance drifted from the city wall.
"What is this smell?"
"Cooking meat?"
The Xuzhou soldiers who were doing different jobs stopped and looked at the city wall in unison.
"Eat!"
Dian Wei's rough roar on the city wall sounded like thunder.
The big iron pot was deliberately placed next to the city wall, and a small platform was built higher than the parapet so that the Xuzhou soldiers under the city could see it.
Each soldier guarding the city held a brand new big pottery bowl.
Each person had a bowl of pork stewed with cabbage and three white flour buns.
Plop.
In the camp, the cook who was cooking dropped his shovel to the ground.
The food quality on the city wall made them feel like there were ten thousand ants crawling in their hearts.
Their saliva seemed to burst.
The soldiers of Xuzhou suddenly lost their appetite.
The dinner they usually looked forward to very much now seemed very boring.
They ate eagerly on the city wall.
Under the leadership of Dian Wei, the soldiers sat neatly on the battlements of the city wall and ate fiercely facing the people below.
The people below the city were stunned.
The soldiers of Xuzhou seemed to be frozen in place, with dull expressions.
Their faces were full of envy.
Dian Wei ate the most fiercely with a big iron bucket in his hand.
He used the greatest effort to cook the most rice.
The scene made the soldiers below the city beat their chests and stamp their feet.
Those who were drought-stricken died of drought, and those who were flooded died of floods.
The soldiers of Xuzhou were furious.
Dian Wei ate voraciously in the spotlight, emptying the huge iron bucket.
He stood up on the wall and turned the iron bucket sideways for the soldiers outside the city to see.
"Did you see it?"
"The soldiers in Xuzhou now eat this kind of rations?"
"Do you have it?"
Dian Wei's rough voice exploded on the wall, stimulating the ears of every Xuzhou soldier.
"We have military pay, which is paid monthly, and we won't deduct a cent. Can you do that?"
"Also...Yes, the city launched a campaign to fight against the local tyrants, and all the wealthy clans in the past were defeated. "
"The new government distributed the land of the landlords to the homes of ordinary people."
"Give seeds and farm tools to ordinary people to farm."
"Do you have it?"
Various questions echoed in the space.
Like the sharpest needle in the world, it pierced deeply into the hearts of every Xuzhou soldier outside the city.
"Follow that damn big-eared thief, why are you fighting?"
Dian Wei continued to roar.
"To give the big-eared thief a few more concubines?"
"Or to buy a few more mansions for the big-eared thief?"
"Or to let the officials under the big-eared thief bully your family and rob you of the little food you have?"
"Withhold the military pay you should have received? "
The repeated questioning hit the hearts of the Xuzhou soldiers.
All the morale that Liu Bei had finally mobilized collapsed on the spot.
There was silence outside the city.
The Xuzhou soldiers lowered their heads in thought.
"Don't listen to those thieves! !"
Liu Bei, who got the news, hurriedly ran out of the central army tent.
While running, he shouted: "Those rebels in the city are nothing more than deceiving you."
"So that you lose morale."
"Then defend the city and continue to do evil."
"I, Liu Xuande, swear to the sky here!"
After attracting the attention of a group of Xuzhou soldiers, Liu Bei raised his finger to the sky and promised very solemnly.
"As long as I, Liu Xuande, am here, I will work hard to govern the country."
"Let the people under my rule live a good life that they never dared to imagine before."
"Do you believe in me, the new governor? Or do you believe in the thieves who rebelled on the city wall? "
Liu Bei questioned.
The Xuzhou soldiers had different ideas.
Although they still trusted Liu Bei who led them.
But the military rations on the city wall were too convincing.
After Liu Bei's various appeasements and ordering the quartermaster to increase the rations by 30%, the Xuzhou soldiers settled down.
Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief.
He suddenly trembled in his heart after calming down.
The word Tang Hai emerged from his mind.
"No way..."
The behavior on the city wall brought back his memories.
Liu Bei shook his head repeatedly to drive away the thoughts in his mind.
"Don't think too much."
"Bewitched by Tang Hai."
"Even if Tang Hai is powerful, how can he reach so far?"
"Not to mention, Liu Yu was in Luoyang City to attend the alliance before."
Liu Bei talked to himself and tried his best to comfort himself.
