Chapter 94: The Redemption of Huai'an City

The wind was strong, and the reassuring general slowly slept beside the girl.

Xiao Aimin lightly summoned Shi Tie and asked his soldiers to surround the small pavilion, so that the wind could run away.

When the wind subsided, the two girls also lay on the hay and leaned against the sleeping man. The sound of thick breathing made them fall asleep quickly.

Lin Fei smiled inexplicably and bitterly: "It's windy, princess, let's find a place to shelter from the wind!" ”

"Uh-huh." Princess Changping smiled very naturally, but there was a kind of unwillingness in her heart! If...

Quiet, world peace.

The Han army won this war, but the Han people did not have much joy. The smell of blood pervades the air, and flocks of birds and seabirds hover over the pieces of meat.

Wu Jiu couldn't stand it anymore: "Let's work hard, let's bury the body first!" ”

"Okay." Hermes-Epitek, who was carrying the supplies, became excited.

Tens of thousands of people walked briskly to the battlefield, startling away many well-fed birds. It is the tradition of the Han people to enter the soil for peace. Even if they were once enemies, the Han people would try to return the corpses to the earth.

Zuo Jiajun ran enthusiastically, but in the end, he couldn't run anymore and could only sit on the ground and wait for death.

"Haha, come on, kill us!"

Some people want to die, but some people don't.

Many clever Zuojia troops fled all over the mountains and fields, and in the end, Shi Jin could only catch 20,000 people. Fortunately, Huai'an is not a mountainous area, otherwise the Zuo army will run away more.

The cavalry commander and many cavalrymen had already returned to Huai'an City, and they didn't even know that Zuo Dashuai had been buried. The rest of the cavalry were nervous, not knowing how the commander would punish them in the future.

When the sun turned red, the two hundred cavalry also returned to Huai'an City from the other city gates out of breath. After that, groups of defeated soldiers returned to the city one after another, not because they still wanted to do it again, but because they were really sleepy and had to go back to the city to rest.

"My lord Zuo Dashuai was defeated, and the deserters came back one after another, all of them tired like dogs." General Huai'an was happy to see Zuo Jiajun's jokes. As soon as the Zuojia army entered the city, the general soldiers of their Huai'an army and several commanders were beheaded. Although the general took the initiative to take refuge in Zuo Liangyu, the grudge in his heart has never been less.

The prefect's face changed, and he couldn't help laughing: "Haha, good~"

"No, not good!"

"What about Marshal Zuo and the Army Division?" The prefect asked with some confusion, and secretly said that he should be called over to discuss it now.

The general shook his head: "I don't know, it seems that many deserters have never seen them!" ”

The prefect was even more puzzled: "You go and inquire secretly, find out everything clearly, and then report it." ”

"Yes, my lord." The general also wanted to know what was going on.

"By the way, my lord, most of them have no weapons, and only those hundreds of generals have knives, do you want them?" The general said with a trembling heart.

The prefect was stunned: "What? Are you sure, by the way, what are they doing now? ”

The general smiled: "Adults, they are all tired like dogs, and they all sleep with their heads covered after eating something." ”

"Okay, you send someone out of the city to see if they still have a large number of men nearby, and I'll go to the barracks now." The prefect is secretly happy, this arrogant and domineering Zuo family army is finally going to fall into his hands today.

"Honorable Order."

Zuo Liangyu treated the people of Huai'an Mansion roughly, and the treasury in the mansion was robbed by them. The major households in the city were also extorted by them, and if it weren't for the urgency of time, ordinary people would also be rectified by them.

As the Han army moved south, Huai'an City also gathered more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. Before, Zuo Dashuai sent thousands of people, and there were still 10,000 people in the city. Time was in a hurry, and Zuo Dashuai was not in a hurry to arrange for someone to completely control this army, and he would not have thought that the consequences of angering Chen Xiong would be so serious.

In the military camp under the city of Huai'an, all the commanders gathered together.

"Your Excellency."

The prefect of Min has good means, and all the commanders are very convinced of him.

After dozens of families guarded the place, the Min Governor's Mansion immediately raised his hand to silence the commanders.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the defeat of Zuo Dashuai has disappeared. Of the 60,000 troops, only more than 10,000 escaped. The Zuo family army lost its armor and was exhausted and miserable! Most of them don't even have weapons! The military of the Zuo family is small, but tomorrow morning, the Han army of the king of Annan will come to us to settle accounts, how should I deal with Huai'an City. Have the generals taught me? ”

There was so much information that the Commanders were silent. But it's impossible to tell them to deal with the Han army!

At this time, the general also walked in, and after he saw the salute, he said: "There are no more soldiers and horses near your lordship, and this Zuojia army is almost completely wiped out!" Do you want to defend the city? ”

The general looked nervous, if the prefect wanted to defend Huai'an, then he must, he must leave immediately.

Good! The prefect is also a lot more relieved, the Zuo family army is really finished, and maybe even Zuo Liangyu, the traitor, is finished.

"Ladies and gentlemen, is it war or peace? The fate of Huai'an is in your hands? The prefect carefully watched the expressions on everyone's faces.

The commanders smiled bitterly at each other, and finally sighed and had nothing to say.

"Okay, General, can you tell me how to deal with it?" The prefect had little hope for these commanders.

The general smiled bitterly, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he could only speak: "My lord humbly thinks: even the 60,000 elite soldiers of the Zuojia army were wiped out in one battle, and it is impossible for us to hold Huai'an." ”

Ay! The commanders also knew, but they were still a little unwilling.

Seeing that no one answered, the general came up with a clever plan: "If the lord decides to defend the city, then the humble post will immediately go out of the city and bring back the soldiers and horses from the counties and townships." ”

The general's eyes are eager, out of the city, the sea and the sky, who cares if you live or die.

Seconds! A deputy commander-in-chief who didn't have many soldiers and horses immediately reported: "My lord, you don't need to go out for such a trivial matter, just let me lead my troops to set off overnight." ”

"Enough!" Governor Min was furious, these guys wanted to slip away, and what they said was so nice and reasonable.

Ay! The general glared angrily at the deputy commander-in-chief, this old guy just did a bad thing for him.

Seeing everyone's eyes rolling wildly, the prefect hurriedly spoke, otherwise this group of wastes might have to slip away overnight.

"Alright, listen to me."

When the adults spoke, all the commanders were very face-saving and waited seriously.

"Zuo Liangyu actually attacked the king of Annan privately, and now the Zuo family army is defeated, but these remnants are in the city. Ladies and gentlemen, there are only two ways for you now: either defend the city with the Zuojia army, or atone for your sins and ask for the forgiveness of King Annan. Otherwise, you will be liquidated sooner or later. ”

Will atone for his sins~ The general said with a joy: "Yes, you must ask King Annan for forgiveness." ”

The general was afraid, even if he slipped away, he was later captured and brought back to vent his anger on King Annan. Governor Min also knew these reasons, and in order not to be used as a substitute for the dead, he could only find a way to get King Annan to forgive.

The leaders rolled their eyes and understood.

"My lord, these rebellious Zuo family dared to sneak attack the king of Annan in the Ming Dynasty, please let General Mo lead the troops to capture them: escort them to the king of Annan for disposal." The deputy chief soldier immediately asked for an order, and he spoke righteously.

The general said angrily: "The deputy chief soldier kills chickens with a knife, and my lord let the last general lead the troops." ”

"Haha, alright, gather all the people and act together." Governor Min laughed, the toothless Zuo Jiajun is a dog.
