Chapter 293: To Each His Own Mind
Han Xuan was the first to arrive here, Liu Du was the last to arrive, after the three of them came to the city gate tower, they saw that everyone was there, they all nodded to each other in embarrassment and politeness, among the three, Jin Xuan's temper was the most eager, Jin Xuan said first: "Do you know about the fall of Luo County Chen Yingye has died?" ”
Han Xuan and the others both nodded slightly, and did not answer Jin Xuan's words, isn't this special nonsense? If they hadn't gotten the news and needed to come out in the middle of the night to blow a cool breeze, would it be because the bed was not warm? Isn't the maid in the bed fragrant?
Jin Xuan also knew that he was still doing this too much, and hurriedly continued: "First Baqiu City was captured by Yuan Yao's army for a moment, and then this Luo County was taken down by Yuan Yao's army in one day, Yuan Yao's army's offensive is so fierce, how can I wait?" Although Linxiang City has a dangerous terrain and strong city defenses, can this Linxiang City really be able to resist the attack of Yuan Yao's army? Liu Yuanjun, what do you think? ”
When Han Xuan heard Jin Xuan's words, he immediately became a little anxious, the reason why he came here to wait for the news after he got the news was because he was afraid that Liu Du and Jin Xuan would meet in private and reach some agreements in secret, such as everyone retaining their strength together, finding a way to withdraw the army and return to the county or something.
You must know that Han Xuan is the Taishou of Changsha, this Linxiang City is the county governance of Changsha County, if Linxiang is broken, this Changsha County will be completely lost, where will he Han Xuan go to be this Changsha Taishou when the time comes?
If there was no Changsha County, he Han Xuan would be nothing!!
Han Xuan naturally couldn't let Liu Du and Jin Xuan meet in private, so that they could have a chance to discuss dirty matters!
Hearing the negativity in Jin Xuan's words, Han Xuan immediately became angry in his heart, but he also knew that he still needed Jin Xuan and Liu Du to defend the city for him, and Han Xuan didn't dare to vent the anger in his heart.
Han Xuan didn't wait for Liu Du to reply, and took the first step to say: "Just make your words true, my Linxiang City is three zhang high, the moat outside the city is more than ten zhang wide, and the city defense fortifications are lined up on the city wall, which is a rare important town in Jingzhou!" Such a big city is far from being comparable to a small city like Baqiu and a county like Luoxian, not to mention that those two small cities don't even have a moat outside the city! ”
"The moat of Linxiang City uses the living water of the Yangtze River, which is more than ten zhang wide, not to mention anything else, just say that this moat, even if Yuan Yaoqin leads an army of 100,000 to come, he wants to fill in this moat, it will take more than a month!"
"Linxiang City has 25,000 troops stationed by us, and more than 100,000 people in the city can also be used by me, and there are 30,000 troops led by General Liu outside the city to garrison Luoxiao Mountain.
"Why is Jin Envoy so pessimistic?"
Jin Xuan heard Han Xuan boasting about himself and not letting Liu Du speak, so he sneered and said, "Hmph! An army of 100,000? An army of 100,000 is enough to cut off the stream, not to mention that the moat outside Linxiang City is only more than ten zhang, even if there are twenty zhang or thirty zhang, what can it do? Han Yuanjun should not brag about himself here, let's listen to what Liu Yuanjun has to say first. ”
When Han Xuan heard Jin Xuan's half-sour words, his heart became even more furious, and he smiled angrily: "Jin Xuanjun's words are too long for others' ambitions, and he will destroy his own prestige, right?" ”
"Although Yuan Yao claims to be 150,000 soldiers and horses, can he really bring so many troops? I think he can have sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and horses, which is already too much! We have 50,000 troops in hand, and more than 100,000 people to help, plus there is Linxiang City to rely on, isn't it enough to be enterprising, and not enough to defend it? ”
Jin Xuan smiled and said, "I have 50,000 troops in hand?" What kind of soldiers and horses are these 50,000 troops? Is it enough to match the edge of Yuan Yao's army? If so, then why did the nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Baqiu and Luo County be defeated again and again? I think you're worried that if Linxiang loses, you will have nowhere to go, and you want to drag me and Liu Yuanjun into the water, right? Do you really not know if you have such a mind? ”
Han Xuan saw that Jin Xuan had spoken, and immediately became angry, and said: "Jin Envoy, don't forget, our four counties of Jingnan are one, if my Changsha County is lost, can your Wuling County still be preserved?" If you lead the army back to Wuling County at this time, you will only die one step later than me!" ”
"Besides, it was Liu Jingzhou and General Liu who were stationed outside the city who asked you to send troops to my Changsha to support, not me Han Xuan! Even if you can lead the army out of the city, can you still bypass General Liu's soldiers and horses and return to Wuling County? Jin Envoy, I advise you not to think about it anymore, instead of complaining here and waiting for death, it is better to think about how to defend the city! ”
When Jin Xuan heard that Han Xuan dared to sneer at him, he was immediately a little angry, especially now that I am helping you defend the city, you are in danger of putting me in danger, do I not even have the right to complain a few words? I just vented a few words, and you dare to be rude to me, it's really hateful!!
Jin Xuan was angry in his heart, and reprimanded coldly: "Good you Han Xuan, how dare you insult me like this!" I'm going to lead the army out of Linxiang and return to Wuling tonight! I'm going to see who's going to stop me! Even if Liu Jingzhou asks, I have something to say, is it possible that you Han Xuan are so rude, and I still have to defend the city for you? There is no such reason anywhere! ”
Liu Du also knew that what Han Xuan said was reasonable, the land of their four counties in Jingnan was four counties in one, if Yuan Yao captured Changsha County, it would be equivalent to being opened by Yuan Yao, and then their remaining three counties would be categorically difficult to defend against the offensive of Yuan Yao's army!
It is precisely because of this reason that they will all send soldiers and horses from all counties to come to Xiangcheng to support, otherwise if Liu Biao and Liu Pan's words are so effective, the two of them will send 10,000 county soldiers to support as soon as the two of them give an order?
Jin Xuan was just because Luo County's defeat was too sudden, and some of them were distracted and wanted to vent a few words, and Han Xuan was also depressed and couldn't swallow his anger, so the two of them quarreled.
Seeing this, Liu Du hurriedly persuaded him: "The two of you still need to be calm, what Han Envoy Jun said is angry, he still needs to use your strength to defend the city, how can he be rude to you?" As for Han Envoy, Jin Envoy Jun just has a grudge and wants to say it, so why do you need to be too serious? ”
"Now that the enemy is present, we still need to work together to make the best policy, so don't talk about the frustrating words of Jin Envoy Jun?"
