Chapter 624: The Pride of the Shu People

Three days later, the city of fish belly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Above the city, the five thousand Shu troops have been ready for battle, and the word solemnity is written on the faces of each soldier, and the tense atmosphere has enveloped the whole city.

In front of the city tower, Yang Huai and Gao Pei, two Shu generals, at this moment, are staring at the east of the city with solemn and cold eyes.

There, a "Chen" battle flag was erected high.

It was a 5,000-strong Wei army, under the command of an unknown Wei general named Chen Qingzhi, who crossed the Three Gorges overnight, and slaughtered in front of the fish belly city like a divine soldier descending from the sky, forcing the city to go down to the wall.

Previously, Yang Huai and Gao Pei, the second general, did not react at all, and like most of the Shu people, they thought that the object of the Wei army was going to attack was the Qin State in the north, and they never expected that the Wei army would suddenly kill under the city of Yubelly.

It was only at this time that they realized that their king might have fallen for the potter's strategy of attacking the west, and the real goal of Wei was to destroy their Shu Kingdom!

Unfortunately, it was too late.

General Yang Huaier didn't have time to hold the mouth of the Three Gorges, so he gave the Wei army the vanguard to pass through the Three Gorges and force the city to go down, which means that the Three Gorges is in danger of being lost, and the Wei army's hundreds of thousands of follow-up soldiers and horses can continue to cross the Three Gorges smoothly and come to surround their fish belly city.

"Damn, the pottery thief actually turned us around, this traitor is really treacherous!" Yang Huai gritted his teeth and scolded, slamming his fist into the city wall.

"Yes, we were all deceived by him, even the king and Fa Xiaozhi were deceived by him." Gao Pei's face was also heavy, "Although our emergency document has been issued, the main force of the king has now penetrated deep into Nanzhong, and I don't know if we can hold out until the king leads the army to help." ”

Yang Huai's eyes shot at the flag with the word "Chen", and said hatefully: "If we had been aware of it, we could have been in the camp at the mouth of the gorge, and the guy surnamed Chen would not be able to cross the mouth of the gorge so easily, as long as the Wei army could not cross the Three Gorges, even if he had more soldiers and horses, it would be useless, but now ......"

When Yang Huai said this, he was both angry and helpless.

Gao Pei could only shake his head and sigh.

Just when the two generals sighed and cursed, they saw the east of the city, and a horse rode out of the Wei camp and went straight to the east gate.

Yang Huai and Gao Pei's expressions moved, and they didn't know who it was, and they were all suspicious.

After a while, the man who looked like a scribe rode his horse closer, reined in front of the moat, and said in a loud voice: "In Xia is Zhuge Jin, I escaped from the Wei camp and came to join the king of Shu, please let me go to the city." ”

Zhuge Jin!?

Hearing this name, Yang Huai and Gao Pei's expressions moved, and they glanced at each other, their expressions a little surprised.

Although Zhuge Jin's name is not as loud as his brother Zhuge Liang, Yang Huai's second general has heard of it, but what they have heard is Zhuge Jin's disgraceful side.

What is the identity of the believer to envoy Wei, the loss of power and humiliation of the country, and finally surrendered to the pottery merchants, but also helped the pottery merchants to say that Lu Su was surrendered, resulting in the destruction of Anhui City, Han Dang's death, and then later said to descend to Lu Xun......

In short, Yang Huaier's image of Zhuge Jin is that this person is an unfaithful and unrighteous person.

And now, how can this guy not surprise them that he claimed to have escaped from the Wei camp and came to join their King of Shu.

"Zhuge Jin, you are a traitor of the Wu Kingdom, why should we believe in people like you." Yang Huai asked coldly.

Zhuge Jin was anxious, but he was worthy of being a lobbyist, his eyes rolled, but he said lightly: "Two generals, your lives are about to be lost, and the lower officials are just here to save your lives, if you still don't let me go of the city, then I have to leave." ”

As he spoke, Zhuge Jin pulled his horse and wanted to leave.

This time, Yang Huai's second general was in a hurry, and when the two of them heard the words "their lives are not guaranteed", their expressions immediately changed, and a look of horror appeared in their eyes.

Glancing at each other again, without waiting for Yang Huai to speak, Gao Pei hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhuge is slow, someone is coming, why don't you open the city gate quickly and let Mr. Zhuge enter the city." ”

The order was handed down, and the left and right Shu soldiers hurriedly lowered the drawbridge and opened the city gate.

The corners of Zhuge Jin's mouth raised a slight smug smile, and then he turned around and walked into the city with his head held high.

A moment later, Yang Huai and Gao Pei, the second general, had already brought him to the military palace, and all the soldiers retreated, leaving only three of them.

"Mr. Zhuge , you said that you escaped from the Wei camp and came to join the king of my family, what is going on?" Yang Huai couldn't wait to ask.

Zhuge Jin sighed lightly and said with a bitter face: "I really don't hide it from the two generals, back then, Jin was also in order to keep his useful body, and one day he took revenge on the pottery thief, so he had no choice but to surrender to the thief." Now the pottery thief wants to invade Dashu and wants to call Jin to come and surrender the two generals, so Jin was able to seize the opportunity and pretend to agree to the pottery thief, so that he could take the opportunity to escape from his clutches and come to the king of Shu. ”

"Tao thief, do you really want to attack my Dashu?" Yang Huai asked in surprise.

Zhuge Jin didn't hide it, so he heard how the pottery merchants pretended to attack the Qin State, and how they secretly sent a secret faction to spread the news, saying that Meng was about to rebel, and how he sent Su Qin as an envoy to come to deceive them.

Zhuge Jin's words made the two generals tremble when they heard it, and only then did they suddenly realize that they had completely understood the pottery merchant's clever plan.

"People say that this pottery thief is treacherous, I didn't expect him to be so insidious, hateful, we all fell for him!" Yang Huai was indignant and gritted his teeth and scolded.

Gao Pei was also resentful, and his suspicion of Zhuge Jin was reduced a lot, so he said: "Mr. abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and told us the truth, it is really a meritorious achievement, rest assured, I will definitely show Mr. to the king, just wait for the king to rush to the belly of the fish, Mr. can meet the king, and he will reward Mr. again." ”

Zhuge Jin said with a straight face: "The pottery thief is cruel and unkind, and wants to destroy the world's famous clans, and he is the public enemy of my world's scholars, Jin is completely righteous in the world, and he doesn't dare to hope for a reward, but he ......."

"It's just what, what does the gentleman say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Yang Huai flicked his hands and smiled.

Zhuge Jin sighed lightly, shook his head and said: "I heard that the army of the King of Shu is all in Nanzhong, hundreds of miles away from here, even if you get an urgent report, you will immediately lead the army to help, I am afraid that it will take more than a month to arrive, and now the hundreds of thousands of male soldiers of the pottery thief are already on the way to come, I am afraid that with a few thousand soldiers and horses in the hands of the two generals, the army of the King of Shu will not be able to come to the rescue." ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two generals changed immediately, and there was a trace of fear in their eyes.

After a slight shock, Yang Huai said proudly: "Sir, I'm afraid you underestimate us too much, although the two of us have only five thousand soldiers and horses, but the fish belly city is very strong, with the strength of the two of us, I am afraid that I will not be able to defend it for even a month." ”

"Ahem, of course Jin is not doubting the strength of the two generals, both of them are famous generals in Shu and are famous......"

Zhuge Jin coughed a few times, slapped the two of them on the back, and changed his words, but said: "It's just that the pottery thief invaded Dashu this time, and he was extremely well prepared, at this time, not only the main army was on the way, I am afraid that the heavenly thunder cannon, Shenwei ballista, and heavy city-breaking hammer and other siege weapons are also on the way to be transported, the two generals feel that with the strength of the fish belly city, can they withstand the heavy blows of these sharp weapons?" ”

A rhetorical question, the two generals were asked in an instant, and their bodies trembled, and they were speechless.

The power of the Heavenly Thunder Cannon, how could he not have heard of it, and knew the horror of its power.

Moreover, the danger of the Three Gorges is mainly at the mouth of the gorge, and the Yubelly City is still secondary, but at present, the Wei army unexpectedly captured the Xiakou camp, as for the Yubelly City, although it is strong, but the second general also knows that it is much inferior to Jiangling and other strong cities in the world.

was a confident second general, but when Zhuge Jin said this, his confidence was suddenly frustrated and he fell into uneasiness.

After pondering for a moment, Gao Pei's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "The king has appointed Meng Da as the Taishou of Ba County before, and led 5,000 elite soldiers to guard Jiangzhou, why don't you lead the Ba County garrison to come for reinforcements?" ”

Before Zhuge Jin could express any opinions, Yang Huai immediately shook his head and said: "Senior brother, have you forgotten, Meng Da has always been at odds with you and me, and he used to speak ill of us in front of the king before, and without the king's edict, how could he lead the army to rescue us." ”

The trace of excitement in Gao Pei's eyes suddenly went out again, and his expression became more and more anxious.

"I came to defect to Liu Zhang, if I can make a great contribution, I will be able to be reused by Liu Zhang, so that I can gain a firm foothold in Shu State......"

Zhuge Jin's thoughts flew, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "If the two generals can trust Jin, Jin has a plan here, maybe he can help the two generals keep the belly of the fish." ”

When the two generals heard that Zhuge Jin had a plan, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they hurriedly asked him what his plan was.

Zhuge Jin said: "Then Chen Qingzhi didn't know that Jin had surrendered to Dashu, Jin Ke sent someone to tell him, just say that the two generals are ready to surrender tomorrow, so that they can relax their vigilance, the two generals can take the opportunity to rob the Wei camp tonight, and recapture the Xiakou camp in one fell swoop. ”

The words of the second general lifted their spirits, as if they saw hope.

"The number of our army is comparable to that of the Wei army, I don't know what Chen Qingzhi's strength is?" Gao Pei said worriedly.

Zhuge Jin smiled disdainfully: "Then Chen Qingzhi is just a nameless Confucian student in Wu County, he is still a weak person, and he can't even hold a sword, just because he rebelled in Wu County back then, and he didn't know how to kill Huang Gai, so he got the weight of the pottery thief, and this person is definitely not the opponent of the two generals." ”

Gao Pei was satisfied at this time, and a look of contempt appeared on his face, and he sneered: "It turned out to be a useless Confucian student, so what is there to be afraid of, the pottery thief sent such a person as a striker, it was really his mistake." ”

At that moment, Gao Pei wanted to adopt Zhuge Jin's plan.

At this time, Yang Huai hesitated again, looking at Zhuge Jin, his eyes showed a bit of distrust.

Zhuge Jin knew that he was worried that he had come to trick them into surrendering so as to lure them out of the city to attack Chen Qingzhi, and he had fallen for the Wei army's plan to lure the enemy.

At that moment, Zhuge Jin smiled calmly, "Jin knows that the two generals are still suspicious of Jin's submission, so Jin will stay in this fish-belly city, if there is fraud, Jin will pay with his life, and the two generals should rest assured." ”

At this time, the look of suspicion on Yang Huai's face dissipated.

Zhuge Jin has already secured his life, so what else is there to worry about.

"Hehe, Mr. Zhuge said that he laughed, how could we doubt the sincerity of your surrender."

At that moment, Yang Huai laughed and said happily: "Let's use Mr.'s plan to break Chen Qingzhi's nameless generation tonight, and let the pottery thief know how powerful my Shu people are!" ”
