Chapter 118: It's embarrassing
Jiao He is still a little self-aware, knowing that he has lost face before. In order to avoid continuing to be embarrassed, www.biquge.info did not go out of the city to talk to Yan Shao in person, but sent a few civil and military officials below.
From ancient times to the present, this kind of thing is not a good errand. Not to mention the need to keep your voice down, it is also very common for someone to accidentally lose their life. After receiving the order, these people entered the barracks with a bitter face.
For such a few little people, whether it is Yan Shao or Tai Shici and others, they have no interest in bullying. Yan Shao even handed over this matter to Tai Shici, and he led the elite armor to hunt nearbyββββββ and in this era Yan Shao understood why so many people liked to hunt in history, there were too few entertainment items, except for sleeping women, there was almost nothing to use for entertainment.
So hunting, a project with all-round development of morality, intellect and physique, has naturally become the current mainstream, and even the Son of Heaven will come from time to time to show it, otherwise there will be no such incidents as Xu Tian's siege...
Seeing Yan Shao and the others riding in the dust, Tai Shici was envious in his heart, but he still sorted out the clothes and armor on his body and walked into the camp, but he had just put forward the conditions, and several officials on the opposite side had already jumped up.
"What? Three thousand soldiers and horses! The chief scribe was furious. My lord has only more than 4,000 soldiers and horses, and if they are all given to you, how can the Yellow Turban defend against the enemy when he comes! β
Originally, there were more than 4,000 soldiers and horses under Jiaohe's control, which was the largest force in Qingzhou, and counting the soldiers and horses of other counties that should theoretically obey his orders, it was no problem to say that there were many soldiers and generals. But since Yan Shao came out, the situation has been chaotic. Now almost none of the six counties in Qingzhou are willing to listen to his orders, Jiao He, the assassin has no prestige at all, and the yellow scarf came to attack before, and he even fled in the wilderness, losing face.
Considering that Jiao He is extremely incompetent, if he really hands over most of the soldiers and horses to Yan Shao, if the Yellow Turban hears the news and commits it, he is afraid that the Qi country will be in danger...
"This can be assured..."Accompanying these pawns here, Tai Shici was also a little impatient, but in order to eliminate future troubles, he still said patiently. Compared with the history of Jiao Thorn, my lord is certainly humble and light-hearted, but he is very resourceful, in addition to the soldiers and horses you have seen, he also left another army of soldiers and horses in Beihai. If the Yellow Turban comes to attack, I will come to the rescue, and Pingyuan, Le'an, Jinan and other places have also made an agreement with my lord, if necessary, you can lend soldiers and horses to my lord, you can rest assured..."
"It's because of this that I can't rest assured..."Looking at Tai Shici's confident appearance, the official said secretly.
He never thought that the three counties of Pingyuan, Le'an, and Jinan actually had an agreement with Yan Shao. Thinking that at least four of the six counties in Qingzhou have fallen under Yan Shao's control, he felt worried. Just thinking of his father-in-law's appearance, he smiled bitterly for a while, and he had nothing to say...
However, on the issue of soldiers and horses, he still insisted a little.
There are only more than 4,000 soldiers and horses in the Qi Kingdom, and 3,000 are transferred at one time, which is too big...
He sent someone back to the city on a fast horse and informed Jiao He of the letter. Hearing this letter, Jiao He was also very annoyed. There is no need to face the soldiers and horses under the city, so that his courage is a little stronger, and his former bearing can be regarded as recovering a little, even if he can't say anything in front of Yan Shao, it's still okay to get angry in the room...
"No, my bottom line is two thousand, and I can't give them any more..."
In the face of the roaring Jiao He, he was afraid that he would be frightened by the civil and military forces under his command in the past. But after the incident on the city wall, he still has a little majesty in front of everyone, and on the surface he is submissive, but in fact he is very disapproving. After all, you said it yourself, as long as you can make the other party withdraw from the army, you can do anything, and now you regret it...
After receiving the reply, the scribe showed it to Tai Shici and expressed his attitude.
Looking at the reply on the letter, Tai Shici frowned for a while, and he was also very embarrassed. As Yan Shao's most confidant general, of course he knew what Yan Shao's plan was, they didn't plan to capture Linzi, just to put on such a posture to threaten Jiao He.
If Jiao He refuses to back down, I'm afraid they will be the ones who give in in the end...
"Why, if the general agrees, the two of us will reply like this, so as not to fight together and destroy the lives of the people." Seeing that Tai Shici was a little shaken, the scribe was overjoyed and hurriedly persuaded him.
Tai Shi Ci was a little hesitant to accept it when he saw it, when he heard the neighing of horses' hooves and war horses outside the tent, and then a soldier lifted the curtain and saw Yan Shao, who was wearing a light scale armor, walking in from outside.
"Ziyi, why haven't you finished talking about it yet?"
"I'm ashamed..."Tai Shi Ci didn't turn his head to hug his fists.
Yan Shao squinted at the clerk, and when he saw Yan Shao looking over, the clerk hurriedly bowed and said. "I've seen the envoy...", he looked at Yan Shao a little vaguely, and felt that this person was tall, strong, handsome and resolute, and wearing a military uniform, he was indeed not the Jiao He who always sat in the hall and talked about high opinions.
No matter how much you look down on the focus in your heart, you can only do this errand well. Therefore, he hurriedly told what had just happened, focusing on Jiao He's opposition.
In his opinion, Yan Shao was afraid that he would hesitate when he heard these words, after all, if it really started, not to mention winning or losing, there would be no need to count on Huimeng.
Who wanted to listen to his words, Yan Shao sneered instead. "It seems that Jiao Thorn Shi is very confident in his own fortified city..."
The scribe was also reluctant to keep his voice down, weakening his own momentum, so he also said with a smile. "So that the monarch and the tiger are known to the world, but my lord also has a way to resist the enemy, and now Dong Zhuo's dictatorship, cholera and chaogang, the great enemy of the world, why don't you take a step back and concentrate on dealing with the national thieves first, the national thieves are not eliminated, but they kill each other, don't you make the world laugh..."
Yan Shao couldn't help but glance at him with these words, but he soon sneered. "If your lord has such courage, I'm afraid you don't have to stand here and talk nonsense with me..."
The scribe's face changed, but he didn't say anything more. In his opinion, although his own strength is weaker than the other party, there is nothing to fear, just return to the city to recover his life. After a few encouragements from his subordinates, Na Jiaohe finally had some courage, at least on the issue of soldiers and horses.
"The lord can rest assured, unless Yan Shao plans to attack Linzi, otherwise he is helpless this time!" Standing on the city wall, pointing to the camp that belonged to Yan Shao outside, a military general sneered.
In other words, some time ago, even if he regained a little courage, Jiao He did not dare to go up to the city wall to face Yan Shao. But after discovering that the movements of the past few days were exactly the same as those analyzed by his subordinates, he finally regained his former bearing, and sometimes even made two jokes lightly.
At this moment, there was a puff of smoke and dust in the distance, and at first Jiao He and others thought it was Beihai soldiers and horses, but soon someone came up to tell them. "It's the cavalry stationed near Linzi, and it's likely that they heard that Linzi was besieged, and they came to rescue..."
Jiao He was overjoyed, and the others were also thunderous, after all, this was a five-hundred-hundred-horse army. In addition to daring to go first, the Qingzhou cavalry army was led by this army. When he fought against Wuhuan before, he had made many military exploits, and he could be called one of the elite soldiers in Qingzhou.
"Now that there are this troops and horses, see if Yan Fuxian dares to underestimate me!" The scribe next to him was already excited.
There are even generals who suggested that at this time, they should lead the army to kill, cooperate before and after, and maybe they can defeat Yan Shao.
It's just that just when everyone on the wall was full of anticipation, the cavalry suddenly slowed down, slowly leaned towards the flank of the army, and then merged into the camp under the city under the response of more than ten horsemen...
At this moment, there was a deathly silence on the city walls...
