Chapter 118: Lonely Minister
"Ridiculous!" Xiao Shilian stretched out his hand and slapped the table, and said angrily, "I asked you to persuade you to surrender, not to let you go to the war letter!" You're so daring! ”
Hou Kang, who was standing in front of him, said in a deep voice: "General, the general trend is like this, the recalcitrant ones are just turning into powder, and now if we speak in a low voice, these people will join my big man in the future, won't they want to ride on our heads to show off their might, at this time I want to tell them that they have no choice!" ”
Xiao Shilian frowned, what Hou Jian said was right, Li Xinchen's attack in Nanchen was going too smoothly, a large number of Nanchen civil and military officials poured in and joined this group, if they couldn't realize the preciousness of their position, then naturally there was no way to guarantee their loyalty to Nanchen.
Before Xiao Shilian could speak, a scout rushed in quickly: "General Qiyu, the Chen Renqi Brigade was found in the direction of Fuchuan, and the number should be about five thousand, and there seem to be reinforcements coming from the direction of Xiangjun." ”
The expressions of the generals present at the time of the landing were all moved, and Tang Xiao said in a deep voice: "What kind of person's banner is it, have you ever found out?" ”
"It seems that there are Yue people in the Lingnan tribe, but there are also Chen soldiers and horses, and the banners are different." The scout said helplessly, obviously they were not familiar with the specific situation on the Lingnan side.
Xiao Shilian frowned, he didn't have to think about it to know that this must be the soldiers and horses that Shen Jungao, the Pingyue Zhonglang, would mobilize, maybe these armies were not elite, and there were even barbarians mixed in them, but if they really defended this strict pass, it would be a trouble······
What's more important is that now that reinforcements are coming, will Fu Wei still consider surrendering······
"Without further ado, send out all the scouts, intercept and kill the enemy's envoys along the way, and the army will quickly advance to the city of Yanguan!" Xiao Shilian said urgently, "Prepare to attack the city!" ”
"Report!" Another scout rushed in, "General, the general flag of the word 'Shen' was raised at the head of Yanguan City, it should be Shen Jungao, the general of Pingyue Zhonglang!" ”
This time, Tang Xiao, Li Xun and the others couldn't sit still, and immediately bowed their hands and said: "General, you can't wait any longer, let's prepare for war." ”
Shen Jungao came with reinforcements, and it was obvious that it didn't matter what Fu Wei and the original strict guards thought. While speaking, everyone looked at Hou Yan who had a happy look on his face next to him, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this kid is really lucky. If he hadn't dropped some cruel words and ran away, he might have become a prisoner of Shen Jungao by now. This Shen Gong is notoriously resolute, and of course he won't be as good at talking as Fu Wei.
Xiao Shilian squinted slightly and looked at Yan Guan in the distance, Shen Jungao and Fu Wei, since you want to be a lonely minister, then so-and-so will fulfill you.
And Li Xun and the others behind him also showed excited looks on their faces, Xiao Shilian led the army to attack Lingnan There were 20,000, except for Tang Xiao, the rest were Li Xun and Luo Yi's soldiers and horses, some of these horses were surrendered by the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and some were newly recruited Shu Han soldiers, all of whom belonged to people who had no merit or even sin, so they wished they could fight with the Nanchen army in order to be able to make meritorious contributions.
If the Nanchen army really fell in the wind like Yuzhang County and Xunyang County, then everyone still had nothing to fight, so now that Shen Jungao and Fu Wei want to fight, of course they are gearing up.
————————
Shen Jungao galloped all the way from Guangzhou, and of course he did his best to mobilize the soldiers and horses that Lingnan could mobilize.
In any case, Lingnan is also the land of Longxing of Nanchen, where there are a large number of Yue people and other tribes loyal to Nanchen, and the leader of these tribes is the famous Lady Xian.
Mrs. Xian's name is Xian Ying, and now she is over the age of sixteen, she is committed to the stability and prosperity of Lingnan, it can be said that Lingnan has today's scene and Mrs. Xian has an inseparable connection, and Nan Chen also canonized Mrs. Xian as the general of Zhonglang and Mrs. Shilong.
In order to prevent the Sui Dynasty army from attacking, Mrs. Xian relied on her personal prestige to pacify Lingnan, and forced this wave of rebellion to suppress it, and Emperor Wen of Sui also praised it. The successive dynasties have also praised and posthumously honored Mrs. Xian's spirit of pursuing peace, avoiding war and the reunification of China, and honored her as "Our Lady of Lingnan".
But this Mrs. Xian, who has a great reputation in Lingnan, gave Shen Jungao a headache, and he mainly relied on the local Baiyue to gather troops, and Mrs. Xian didn't seem to praise Shen Jungao's behavior of leading troops to resist, so Shen Jungao could only mobilize the tribes closest to the Nanchen court in the end, otherwise all the Baiyue soldiers and horses would have to have at least forty or fifty thousand people.
However, the big war was approaching, and Shen Jungao didn't care about what Mrs. Xian was thinking, so he could only try to gather as many soldiers and horses as possible to Yanguan.
This way hurried and hurried, and finally saw that the flag on the head of the city was still Nan Chen's, which made Shen Jungao also breathe a sigh of relief.
Not noticing the strange gaze from Fu Yi, Shen Jun said in a deep voice: "The soldiers and horses led by Xiao Shilian should only be about 20,000, and we can gather nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses in three days, and we can completely go out of the city to fight, as long as we snatch the Xiangshui ferry from Xiao Shilian's hands, we can prevent his sailor from entering Lishui along the Ling Canal." ”
Fu Wei's expression suddenly perked up, to be honest, Hou Yan's threat was still echoing in his ears, it was impossible to say that he didn't care at all in his heart, to be honest, if it wasn't for Shen Jungao arriving so quickly, I'm afraid Fu Wei would really have to discuss what to do with the people below.
"Fu Gong, the national disaster is coming, we must tide over the difficulties together." Shen Jungao gritted his teeth and said.
Fu Wei nodded solemnly, only to feel that his previous thoughts were really shameful.
The wind blew the sleeves of their clothes, and the two people stood at the head of the city and looked at each other, the country was in danger, and they had to use their actual actions to prove who was a loyal minister!
It's just that Shen Jungao and Fu Wei didn't know, and when the two of them made up their minds, at the entrance of the Shangcheng Trail not far away, several strict guards looked at each other with complicated expressions. One of them really couldn't help it, and said in a low voice: "With those Baiyue people who can't beat Mrs. Xian, is it reliable······
"And I heard that Mrs. Xian doesn't seem to be willing to follow Shen Gong."
"Listen, this is only a rabble of 30,000 people, and they plan to go out of the city to invite war, but they are two literati, and they don't look at who is on the other side. Whether it's Xiao Shilian or Li Xun, which one is easy to mess with? These guys haven't fought a decent battle since they came out of Shu, so they're just waiting to beat us for a tooth sacrifice. ”
