"Captain, someone is here in the city!" A soldier strode over and arched his hand at Zheng Kaiyuan, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Under the city?" Zheng Kaiyuan was stunned for a moment. Diaoyu City is an out-and-out mountain city, built around the mountain, there is only one road up the mountain, and according to the situation reported by the scouts who went out, it is obvious that this road has been firmly blocked, although Nan Chen's army does not intend to attack, but it also does not intend to let Zheng Kaiyuan leave peacefully.

Therefore, at this time, someone came from the mountain, then it could only be Nan Chen's envoy, and its purpose was naturally clear, of course, it was to persuade him to surrender.

Zheng Kaiyuan wanted to understand this truth, and of course the rest of the generals also knew it, and suddenly different eyes fell on Zheng Kaiyuan. Either you want to fight, or you want to surrender, there must be a certain number in the end.

This Diaoyu City is not big, and there are not many soldiers and horses in the city, but because Song Ping had to defend Dianjiang County before, most of the grain, grass and equipment in the reserve were taken away, so Zheng Kaiyuan and they were able to hold out for more than a month, if there were no reinforcements arriving with enough grain and grass after more than a month, then they would only have to surrender or die dead.

Whether it is fighting or surrendering, Zheng Kaiyuan always has to give an explanation to so many of their soldiers.

Taking a deep breath, Zheng Kaiyuan nodded.

Although he really wanted to directly block this envoy from the door, he also wanted to muster up the courage to fight Li Xinchen fiercely to prove that he still fulfilled his responsibilities as the governor of Hezhou.

But he couldn't do that, because he had to think about the hundreds of soldiers in the city, and for the families of the more soldiers in the city. If this battle starts, then I'm afraid that the entire Diaoyu City will inevitably be burned.

Zheng Kaiyuan wanted to fight this battle, but he couldn't afford it!

What is the point of vain resistance, Zheng Kaiyuan can't figure it out, so all he can do is let this messenger come up, at least listen to what he wants to say before making a decision.

Soon after, a soldier in a long robe walked up under the escort of several armor soldiers, or rather, escorted, he was the only one, and all the guards remained outside the city, and this soldier obviously did not panic, but walked calmly on the city with a smile on his face.

When his gaze swept over the faces of the generals around him, these generals did not have the courage to look at him, because they didn't know what kind of gaze they should use to look at him, let alone what kind of mentality their master general had.

So at this time, their eyes all subconsciously turned to Zheng Kaiyuan. Everyone is a veteran brought out by Zheng Kaiyuan for many years, whether they are fighting or surrendering, they will listen to the words of the old boss! If it is lowered, everyone will happily put down their blades; If it's a war, then don't be afraid of these Nanchen people, it's a big deal to die here together!

Of course, Zheng Kaiyuan's consideration cannot be as simple as these subordinates, after all, what they care about is only one person's life, and he, Zheng Kaiyuan, must consider everyone's life.

Looking at this young man who walked up calmly, as if he was not walking into the enemy camp at all, Zheng Kaiyuan sighed secretly in his heart, not to mention what to say to this young man, just by seeing the calmness and calmness of others, Zheng Kaiyuan knew that the gap between the two sides was not only in strength, but also psychologically, and even in talent.

I heard that Li Xinchen was too young, but I didn't expect that Li Xinchen's subordinates were so young and able to be in such a situation without wavering.

Where the hell did this group of demons come from!

"Who's coming?" Zheng Kaiyuan coughed lightly, after all, this is in Diaoyu City, and there is still a prestige.

As soon as the young scholar gave up his hand, he didn't care about these things with Zheng Kaiyuan, and said indifferently: "Xu Deyan, the chief bookkeeper under General Dangkou, must be Captain Zheng in front of him. ”

Although this sentence was plain, the word "Du Wei" bit very hard, and suddenly Zheng Kaiyuan's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the surrounding generals also noticed this word, and their faces also changed.

The captain above is qualified to add the name in front, and what is written as a captain, which generally means that the captain is responsible for the attack and defense of this side, and the captain above the captain is naturally the same, for example, Zheng Kaiyuan is the captain of Hezhou.

However, although the lieutenant is already capable of commanding a party's troops and horses, he is not a general after all.

And you must know that in the land of Ba County before, Dai Cai, Cheng Feng and others, who were all lieutenants like Zheng Kaiyuan, are now partial generals. Although the partial general is still under the miscellaneous general, he is a real general, and of course he has to call "General Dai" and "General Cheng" when they meet. has not been promoted to general, it is the heart disease of Dai Cai, Cheng Feng and others for many years, and it is not Zheng Kaiyuan's heart disease?

Now Xu Deyan opened his mouth to emphasize this captain, clearly telling Zheng Kaiyuan, you are not a captain, you have the opportunity to be promoted with our general, there is no need to take hundreds of people to stay in this Diaoyu City!

The rest of the battle lords and generals all subconsciously glanced at each other, this kid doesn't look like a scholar, he came up and said the biggest thing about our captain, and then I'm afraid that the captain will be led away by his nose.

Zheng Kaiyuan looked at Xu Deyan in front of him and diverted the topic: "I haven't heard that there is such a young talent under the command of General Dangkou." ”

Xu Deyan smiled slightly: "I was entrusted by the ancestor Xiaomu Gong to enter Shu and help General Dangkou to pacify the land of Bashu." ”

The three words "filial piety and Mugong" were spoken, and the shock to Zheng Kaiyuan and others was even higher than that of the "captain" just now.

There is only one person in the world who can be called filial piety, and that is the left servant under Nan Chen and above 10,000 people. And the name Xu Ling may have been forgotten by many people in later generations, but at least in this era, it is enough to shock everyone by mentioning it.

No wonder Li Xinchen will rest assured to let this Xu Deyan come to the city by himself, think about it, how can Xu Xiaomu's grandson be an idle person.

And the deep meaning contained in these words is enough to alert Zheng Kaiyuan and others.

Xu Ling even sent his grandson over to support Li Xinchen, what does this mean, it shows that this madman in the eyes of many people, two hundred and five, the youngest miscellaneous general in Nanchen, is not really fighting alone.

Regardless of whether there was anyone else standing behind him, Xu Ling alone was enough. Coupled with Xiao Maha, who blocked the back road for Li Xinchen, Zheng Kaiyuan found in an instant that the enemy in front of him was far from being as weak and bluffing as he imagined.

This is clearly against the entire Nanchen Imperial Court!

Xu Deyan smiled and watched the expression on Zheng Kaiyuan's face change again and again, and his hand clutching his sleeve was gently released at this time, and his palms were already full of sweat.

In any case, this is also the first time that he Xu Deyan has been in such a dangerous situation, and it is impossible not to be nervous in the face of the enemy's swords and guns.
