Chapter III

Worth it or not, the audience of the tavern can't make a decision, the storyteller can't make a decision, and only the Son of Heaven at that time can make a decision.

The whole world is his courtiers, whether he can be saved or not, whether it is worth his definition.

"Your Majesty."

The boy took a sip of wine, moistened his throat, and spoke again.

Everyone heard that this was the first person to speak and was called "Lord Bao" by the other ministers.

"Now we put people in a place of danger, and abandon them in a hurry, and indulge in barbarian violence on the outside, and wound and die on the inside. If you don't save it at this time, if the Huns re-offend and become a coward, how will Your Majesty make a general? ”

The young man said something that many drinkers who didn't have much time to learn couldn't understand.

"W-what does that mean?"

The man who was cheering loudly before couldn't help but ask the scholar next to him who seemed to have some school hours.

The meaning of this is that when the soldiers are on an expedition and in danger, they are ignored, externally they condone the brutal barbarians, and internally they hurt the hearts of those loyal ministers and good generals. If you don't save them now, if the Huns make a comeback in the future, who will serve Your Majesty? ”

As soon as the scholar was about to answer, he heard the young man who told the story change back to his original voice and began to explain the sentence.

"Hey, that's what it means, then just say it, what are you doing with this crepe?"

After the man understood, he scratched his head honestly.

"You know a lot, Mr. Xiao's miraculous ability is to directly simulate the reaction of everyone in the DPRK and China at that time, and the dialogue will naturally be exactly the same, and who is that Lord Bao? How can words be as vulgar as yours! ”

The scholar next to him snorted coldly, and the other party's face spoke directly, regardless of it.

There was a burst of laughter in the tavern.

The man's face was red for a while, but he didn't have the idea of fighting with the book.

Tianhan is rich and strong, and the people are bold by nature, and they rarely conflict over trivial matters.

Seeing that they were almost smiling, the storyteller continued:

In the winter of the seventy-fifth year of the Tianhan Dynasty, seven thousand reinforcements set off, and in the first month of the seventy-sixth year, seven thousand reinforcements rushed to Liuzhong City, defeated the Xiongnu and the Che Division, beheaded three thousand eight hundred people, and obtained more than 3,000 people, 37,000 camels, donkeys, horses, cattle and sheep. The northern captives were frightened away, and the chariot division surrendered. ”

"Then led the army straight to Shule City, 7,000 reinforcements through the danger of the Tianshan Mountains, successfully arrived at Shule City, at this time Shule City, the defenders only left 26 people, including Geng Gong, and only 13 people remained when they returned to Yumen Pass."

A heavy atmosphere of sadness rose in the tavern.

"Damn the Hun Che Master, if it hadn't been wiped out by my Tianhan now, I would definitely go and kill a few people and sacrifice their heads to my Han heroes."

A swordsman with a chain of broadswords on the table with a beard roared.

The many drinkers in the tavern were also very uncomfortable, and no one would be comfortable at the thought that the heroes of Tianhan were attacked and killed by a group of barbarians outside the Saiwai and only 13 people remained.

The storyteller glanced at the tavern and said the end of the book with a smile as the captain Geng, who seemed to be out of place with other people.

"The following year, after the stability of the DPRK and China, Geng Gong led the army to sweep away the remnants of the Huns, and annihilated them.

"Good!"

"Mr. Xiao is really unusual, what he said is really good!"

There was a round of applause in the hall.

But the young man didn't hurry to thank him, but looked at the captain Geng, who had not changed from beginning to end, and asked:

"What does the general think of this story told by the kid?"

Captain Geng put the wine bowl in his hand on the table in front of him, and looked up at the young man's bright eyes.

What kind of pupil is that?

Bright, like the starry sky at night.

Captain Geng paused for a moment and smiled:

"That's a good point."

"Geng Gong obviously had the opportunity to escape alone, but he refused to give up the people in the city and chose to defend to the death, although he was finally saved, but if the reinforcements were an hour later, maybe the ending would have been rewritten, did the general think it was worth it? If it is replaced by a general. Will he make the same choice as Geng Gong? ”

The boy's words seemed to mean something.

Captain Geng didn't reply in a hurry, just staring at the young man who was telling the story.

The boy looked back at each other.

"Saved in the end, wasn't it?"

Captain Geng spoke.

"Moreover, I am not Geng Gong after all, and Tianhan is not the Tianhan he once was."

The boy smiled and shook his head:

"You are indeed not Geng Gong, and Tianhan is not the Tianhan he once was, but history is surprisingly similar after all, isn't it?"

As soon as the young man's words fell, a soldier in armor rushed into the tavern and bowed to Captain Geng:

"Report, the big thing is not good, the soldiers patrolling outside have sent news that the Loulan army is coming straight to my Bafang Town, and the number is not less than that."

The soldier's face was very ugly, and he spat out a number:

"Five thousand!"

"Boom!"

The whole tavern boiled in an instant!

Everyone stared at the harmless young man with a smile on his face with wide eyes.

The general knew that Geng Gong had left his last words before he died:"

The young man didn't care about the eyes of the people around him at all, and turned his head to look at Captain Geng, who was staring at him fiercely:

"The descendants of the Geng family must not join the army for generations, otherwise their divine power will be lost and they will die from the sword soldiers."

"Who are you?"

Captain Geng directly interrupted the teenager.

"Xiang Xiaoer, just a storyteller."

The boy leaked out his white teeth and said his name.

"Little two?"

"Yes, the family says that it is easy to support with a cheap name."

Xiang Xiaoer explained.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"Storytellers naturally come to the books, and earn some money by the way."

Captain Geng stared at Xiang Xiaoer for a while, then turned around and strode away.

"Gather everyone and prepare to defend themselves against the enemy!"

"No!"

The soldier in armor stood up and followed.

The tavern was in chaos again.

"It's the opposite, it's the opposite, this Loulan is really bold, and he dares to invade my Tianhan territory."

"Loulan sent 5,000 troops, and my Bafang Town will only be Captain Geng, how can I defend it if I don't have more than 100 soldiers? I think it's better for us to run for our lives sooner. ”

"Fart, how can my Tianhan people be afraid of barbarians like Loulan."

"Naturally, we will not be afraid, but the lives of our Han people are a hundred times more precious than the lives of their barbarians, and now they know that they can't stop it, why do they want to die here?"

"That's right, I'll wait to retreat first, and then inform the Yumen Pass guard that I will make the Loulan barbarians pay the price."

"Alas, I suddenly found out that Captain Geng is also surnamed Geng, and does it have anything to do with General Geng Gong?"

"You just found out? Didn't you listen to the little second brother who told the story just now? This Captain Geng seems to be Geng Gong's descendant. ”

Some of the slower drinkers finally found the point.

The shopkeeper of the tavern stared at Xiang Xiaoer, who was still sitting on the high platform and tasting wine, and walked up.

"I didn't expect the little brother to be a god."

There are gods in the heavens, and gods have divine powers, they can know what ordinary people don't know, and they can change things that ordinary people can't change.

"The shopkeeper joked, I'm just a storyteller with some knowledge."

The boy drank the wine from the bowl.

It's not a good wine.

Can't be wasted...

"Little brother, what do you think of this Loulan army."

The shopkeeper smiled slightly, did not take the other party's words to heart, and continued to ask.

What do you think?

That's a problem.

The young man lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and smiled:

"Just sit here and watch."

......

The news of Loulan's attack spread throughout Bafang Town in an instant.

This small frontier town quickly became a mess.

All the business travelers from other countries gathered their things and prepared to evacuate for the time being, while thinking that Loulan was crazy.

Stay?

Just kidding, that's a "stupid thing" that only the people of heaven and man do.

Fifty against five thousand.

These fifty are not a regular Tianhan army, how can they be stopped?

The fortifications of Happo Town are exceptionally rudimentary.

First, because this is just a border town in Tianhan that is not heavy or light, and there is a Yumen Pass to guard it, even if it is lost, it will not bring losses to Tianhan.

The second is because Tianhan has accumulated power for a long time, and no one has ever thought that there are foreign barbarians who dare to invade the territory of Tianhan.

At this time, Captain Geng led the fifty soldiers of Bafang Town to stand at the entrance of the town.

Looking at the Loulan Tieqi who was coming straight to him in the yellow sand, his face was extremely ugly.

Loulan was not the Huns at the beginning, and the 5,000 cavalry were afraid that they had exhausted their families.

"It's crazy to be a barbarian."

"Why should the captain be angry with them, this barbarian outside the plug is just remembering to eat or not, this time let's teach him a good lesson, let them know who is the sky."

The soldier next to him looked at Captain Geng, whose face was ugly, and spoke.

"That's right, don't we have a saying for the big man? What is that called? It's that Dongying can't change what to eat. ”

There were soldiers who answered, and there was no panic in the face of the upcoming big war.

"Hahaha."

"I said Xiao Liuzi, Dongying recruited you to provoke you, you say that."

"That's right, Dongying is our friendly neighbor, and it should be said that Loulan can't change it."

"So what the hell is that?"

"You don't know what? Why don't I take you to eat another day? ”

"Don't worry, I'll give you this good thing to eat."

"Hahaha."

The soldiers laughed merrily. Even Captain Geng rarely leaked a smile.

As they laughed, the Loulan Iron Rider also rushed to them.

A thousand steps!

Eight hundred steps!

Five hundred steps!

The soldier next to Captain Geng just wanted to drink, but he stopped him.

Four hundred steps!

Three hundred and fifty steps!

Three hundred steps!

The Loulan Iron Rider finally stopped.

A general with yellow-black skin came out on horseback,

"Ahead, is Captain Geng, the guard of the Bafang Town?"

Captain Geng glanced at the soldier next to him.

The soldier nodded his head and took a few steps forward and shouted:

"Who are you? What's the matter with calling my school captain. ”

"I am Loulan's striker Ge Han, and today I am ordered by my king to take over Bafang Town, and I hope that Captain Geng will sell his face and quickly lead people to retreat."

Captain Geng's eyes widened angrily.

"Okay, you Loulan, you are so bold, this is my Tianhan land, and the king of Er's dare to make an order?"

Gerhan looked at Captain Geng for a moment before speaking:

"It seems that you are Captain Geng, the guard of Tianhan Bafang."

Seeing that the other party did not deny it, he continued to speak:

"Captain Geng, this is the result of the discussion between Tianhan and my Loulan, I hope you don't make mistakes."

"Counsel?"

Captain Geng glanced at the five thousand cavalry behind the other party:

"How? Take your Loulan family with 5,000 iron cavalry to besiege my Bafang Town and 50 soldiers, this way of discussion? ”
