"Makes sense, makes sense. The dust of those horses running shows how strong they are. Come on, tip. Jiang Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, not only was he not punished, but he was also rewarded.

"Thank you, Vice General, I wonder if the Deputy General wants to come and take a look?" Jiang Lingyun said deliberately in order to make the Deputy General believe.

"Oh, no, there's so much dust over there. I'm relieved to have you here. ”

After listening to the deputy general's words, Jiang Lingyun's heart finally relaxed.

After the deputy general returned home, Uncle Xiang drove the horses back, and there was finally no danger. But the twenty or so horses were all like a mud bath, and then they brushed them all again, and when they were finished, they ate and went to sleep.

After the deputy general returned home, he seemed to be relieved at this time, the people were strong and the horses were strong, this time, the Huns did not dare to come, who said that I could not compare to General Li, and I would let the Huns take a look.

At this moment, a spy came to report: "Report to the deputy general, a hundred miles away found the Hun army." ”

As soon as the deputy general heard this, he said Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrived.

"How many are there?"

"I don't know, but it is estimated that there are about 10,000 people from the hoof prints on the road. ”

"Go find out immediately and report again. ”

"Yes. ”

The deputy general panicked at this time, more than 10,000 people came, and there were only more than 2,000 people in the city.

At this time, the adjutant of the deputy general arrived: "General, the Hun army is going to attack us." ”

"I know that there are more than 10,000 people, how to deal with it. ”

"The general should defend Shangjun to the death. ”

"But we only have more than 2,000 people, how can we defend it?"

"General, the emperor hates the Huns, the whole country knows, if you defeat the Huns at this time, you will definitely increase your merits, if you fail to defend the city, but die glorious, your family will definitely be rewarded, but if the general you retreat, there is only one result, the hands of the Huns who did not die, they will die in the hands of the emperor. What the emperor needs at this time is a hero, not a retreating general. ”

"That being said, I can't risk more than 2,000 soldiers. ”

The adjutant knelt down: "All the soldiers swear to follow the general, defend the country, and never let a city be lost in our hands." ”

The deputy general slapped the table: "Pass the order, if there is a word that those who escape, they will be killed, and I will fight with all the soldiers to the death to protect the city and save the people in the city from disaster." ”

"General Xie. After saying that, the adjutant withdrew.

"Report" a spy is in a hurry to report.

"General, according to the report of the spies, fifty miles outside the city found the Hun army, nearly 30,000 people, all cavalry. ”

"Thirty thousand, two thousand to fight thirty thousand, is this possible?"

The deputy general looked sad, waved his hand, and the spies went down.

After the spies went down, the deputy general sat alone in front of the desk, thinking that 2,000 people still could not defeat 30,000 people, so he decided to retreat, and he asked the adjutant and all the sergeants to come over for discussion.

When they came, the deputy general said: "All the soldiers know that the Xiongnu have led 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Shangjun, and there are only 2,000 soldiers in our city. So I suggested retreating to Yanmen, what do you think?"

Hearing this, the adjutant was surprised, just now he said that it would be okay to run away and kill, why is he the first to run away now. Hey, how does this adjutant know how many Li Guang can be in this world?

"General, we really can't retreat, if we retreat, first, thousands of people in the city will be killed by the Huns, and second, even if we retreat safely now, the emperor blames us, and we still can't escape death. Please think twice, general. ”

As soon as the adjutant finished speaking, all the sergeants immediately echoed, and one of them said: "Instead of being beheaded by the emperor, it is better to die on the battlefield, or you will have the face to see your father and fellow villagers." ”

"yes. ”

"yes. ”

……

After listening to everyone's words, the deputy general said: "But we only have 2,000 people, and the disparity in strength is too great, isn't this a sacrifice of 2,000 sergeants in vain!"

"General, go down and ask these two thousand soldiers, who wants to be a deserter. The soldiers here are all from the nearby towns, including Mayi, Yanmen, Shanggu, when General Li did not come before, the Xiongnu wantonly burned and looted here, so these soldiers are carrying the hatred of the Xiongnu, if they become deserters at this time, what face do you let them go back?"

"The general you said knows it, okay, since everyone is determined to die, then the general will accompany him to the end, we will fight to the death, we are heroes to defend the city, and if we lose the city, we will still be heroes. First of all, the adjutant immediately sent a letter from me to General Li to ask for support, the sooner the better, and secondly, to tell the people in the city that all capable strong men must fight to defend the city, and third, to prepare stones, wood, etc., to defend the city, and to carry all the tools that can kill the enemy to the city tower. Everybody go back and get ready. ”

"Yes. All the sergeants said in unison. When they had gone down, the adjutant looked at the general, and he saw that the expression on the general's face was so reluctant when he said those words that the adjutant guessed that the general must have been disagreeable.

After the adjutant withdrew, he happened to meet the deputy general's butler, the friendship between the two of them was extraordinary, each admired the other party as a good man, this butler used to be a hard fighter, he used to be under Li Guang's account, but later became the deputy general's butler.

"Steward Sun. ”

"Oh, Adjutant Liu. ”

"The Huns are coming, have you heard of Steward Sun?"

"I've heard it a long time ago, and I'm sworn to live and die with the city. ”

"Okay, it's worthy of being a friend of my Liu, I can die with you in Shangjun, my wish is enough. ”

"Why did Adjutant Liu say this, I think the deputy general will definitely lead us to repel the Huns. ”

"Steward Sun only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. I think the lieutenant general will run away this time. I also want to trouble Steward Sun with one thing, as long as I find that the deputy general has any movement and escape, I will immediately tell you, I don't know if it is feasible?"

"Well, if the lieutenant general has any intention of escaping, I will send someone to tell you at once, and I will arrest this person myself. Steward Sun said.

After listening to Steward Sun's words, Adjutant Liu said. "Okay, then it's decided, if the deputy general regards death as if he were at home and leads us to repel the Huns together, I will take back my words and plead guilty to him. But if the lieutenant general is just a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death, I will definitely work with you to kill this person. ”

The two didn't say much, nodded their heads, Adjutant Liu returned to the camp and waited for the news, Steward Sun returned to the General's Mansion, only to see the general and his wife discussing things in the room, so he quietly put his head over, but the voice was too small to hear, Steward Sun was afraid of startling the snake, so he went to get busy first.
