Chapter 639: Soldiers Descend on the City
Zhao Yun immediately said: "The herald ordered that the whole army go to the city to guard the city, except for the soldiers and horses who maintain law and order and garrison the county government. ”
These days, Zhao Yun has recruited more than 1,000 people in Zhongmu and Kaifeng, and among the poor, so Zhao Yun now has more than 4,000 soldiers and horses.
And the reason why Zhao Yun was able to raise so many people in a few days of calculation was also thanks to Fu Lin's reputation and the fact that there were too many poor people under Cao Cao's rule.
In fact, even if Cao Cao's rule is good, he is a relatively peaceful place compared to other places in the Han Dynasty, and there are not too many people who starve to death.
However, no matter what Cao Cao said, he was also speaking to the upper class, and the upper class people in the Eastern Han Dynasty were naturally officials and families.
The people of this era will never get a good life, maybe this era is too bloody, maybe this is the life of the people, otherwise the officials will not call the people grass people, what grass people are grass people are grass people can be discarded at any time.
However, the grass still plays its role, such as building a house, such as heating, and feeding the horses. Let's gossip less and get back to the point.
Soon, Zhao Yun found that a wriggling black line appeared from a distance, and this black line slowly lengthened and thickened with time.
There is no need to ask, these are the enemy troops, and slowly Zhao Yun found that the enemy troops from the west actually surrounded Kaifeng and began to surround the city.
At first, Zhao Yun didn't know what they were going to do, but later, Zhao Yun smiled and smiled very happily.
It turned out that the soldiers and horses in the west were Fang Jian's county commander from Zhongmu County, and the one from the east was Cao Ren's eldest son, Cao Tai.
I don't know, whether this Fang Jian is in a sloppy relationship, or if he is afraid of Zhao Yun and them alone in the west, in short, the two armies of them are fighting outside the east gate of Kaifeng City.
And coincidentally, Zhao Yun happened to lead people above the east gate, according to Zhao Yun's own ideas, and the scout's intelligence, the enemy army from the east was Cao Tai.
Therefore, Zhao Yun used his experience in the east. It's really good now, and the reason why he, Zhao Yun, wants to laugh is because Zhao Yun is not afraid that they will join forces, but he is afraid that they will attack the city on both sides.
Because Zhao Yun only has 4,000 men and horses in his hands after all, and there are 1,000 soldiers in the 4,000 people, Zhao Yun will go out to guard the four gates, and patrol to maintain law and order, as well as the county government.
Therefore, in the end, the soldiers and horses that Zhao Yun assigned to each city wall were less than a thousand, less than a thousand, and it was more difficult to deal with three thousand.
And today, the enemy was merged together, so Zhao Yun immediately sent an order, so that the soldiers and horses guarding the other three gates and patrolling the city, that is, the county government, were all sent to support the east gate.
Although, with Zhao Yun's efforts, there are only about 2,000 people in this East Gate, but 1,000 against 3,000, and 2,000 against 6,000, it is literally the same.
However, how long has it been since the knowledge in this has been fought, for example, after the number of people, Zhao Yun's soldiers and horses have confidence, in addition, Zhao Yun is a general here, guarding the two city gates, and the generals are not enough, so Zhao Yun is not at ease when he sends ordinary generals to go.
Tart tart tart!
Just when Zhao Yun was a little happy, everyone found that from the enemy's military array, a person and a horse were photographed, and looking at this person's dress, he was a scout in the army.
Zhao Yun didn't speak, just looked at this person to see what he was going to do, Zhao Yun didn't let his subordinates shoot him with arrows, all Zhao Yun had to do now was wait.
Sure enough, when the scout had reached a safe distance from the east gate, he stopped his horse, and heard him shout loudly: "Listen, the enemy army on the castle tower, which of you is the commander of this army and come out to answer?" ”
It can be seen that this scout is not too arrogant, maybe they know that someone in Zhao Yun's hands knows, and they don't want to stimulate the other party, so they are so polite.
Zhao Yun took two steps forward and shouted, "I am." What do you have to say? ”
The scout under the tower shouted: "I sealed the order of my general, came to negotiate with you, my general said, as long as you release our second son and Xiahou son, my son will promise to let you go, if you are worried about going back, you will be punished by Fu Lin, you can take refuge in my son, my son will guarantee you glory and wealth."
However, then again, if you don't listen to the advice, resist stubbornly, or hurt the two sons, when the time comes, you just want to die happily at all, my lord is General Cao, when the son is also in Xudu today, you think about it! My son-in-law said, give you two hours to think about it. When the time comes, if you don't obey, don't blame us for being polite. ”
This kid, who was done alive in vain, didn't listen to what Zhao Yun said, turned his head and left the east gate.
Zhao Yun almost didn't laugh out loud, if he didn't listen, he wouldn't listen, originally Zhao Yun was also going to delay time, the other party was like this, this was in the middle of it.
So, Zhao Yun asked the brothers to hurry up and eat and drink water to maintain their physical strength, but there was one thing, that is, they were not allowed to leave their posts.
Long story short, time rushes by, two hours, that is, four hours, four hours, not long, not short, time is a very strange thing, you want him to live slowly, this time will pass in a flash.
Tart tart tart!
Just as Zhao Yun put down the water bag, Zhao Yun reached out and wiped his mouth, only to see that it was still the scout just now, and he raised his neck and rode a horse galloping over.
This scout was still like that, he didn't allow Zhao Yun to speak, only to hear him immediately shout: "Two hours have come, how are you thinking about it?" ’
Zhao Yun laughed in his heart, according to the words of the lord, this person is self-righteous, let me see what you can do.
Since the other party asked, Zhao Yun also shouted loudly: "It's only been two hours, we haven't thought about it." ”
"Hmph, my son-in-law said two hours, that is, two hours, since you ......" The scout opened his mouth to scold Zhao Yun. That means that you have a chance, if you don't cherish it, you deserve it, and he wants to say that we are going to attack the city.
However, Zhao Yun interrupted his words, only to hear Zhao Yun say: "Originally, we also had the intention of surrendering, but two hours is too short?"
The scouts under the city, after hearing Zhao Yun's words, he couldn't understand what was going on, in short, he was psychologically awkward, as if he couldn't use his strength.
Still, the scout said, "We've given you time." ”
Zhao Yun smiled secretly, and immediately said: "Since you don't let us think about it, then we can only kill Cao Pi and Xiahou Chong first, and then start a war with you, you come to attack the city!" ’
After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he turned his head and shouted: "Come on, bring Cao Pi and Xiahou Chong to the top of the city tower and immediately behead them!" ”
And Cao Tai's scout under the city tower, after he heard Zhao Yun's words, the scout's body shook, and he almost fell off the war horse, so he immediately shouted: "General, don't, there is something to say." There's something to say! ”
Zhao Yun smiled this time, and laughed heartily: "Haha, can we think about it this time?" ”
And the scout sent by Cao Tai was like a defeated rooster, and he only heard him hang his head and say, "Okay, we'll give you a day to think about it." ”
In fact, to be a human being, it is important to be self-aware, and it is important to see the current situation clearly, which is also the mistake made by Cao Tai and his scout.
However, no matter what, Zhao Yun's purpose has been achieved, the reason why Zhao Yun wants to do this is to delay time, as for Zhao Yun, why he wants to delay time, naturally Zhao Yun has his own purpose.
