Chapter 423: Han Army's Meticulous Work?
In the silent council room, large and small thief chiefs gathered. And Zhang Yan, who was sitting at the top, was looking at the burning brazier in a daze.
It is also the time when autumn and winter are approaching, and the weather is getting colder and colder. I can't feel it in the daytime. But the cool breeze of the night was cool. When they thought of this grain matter, all of them felt a little dignified in their hearts. All the eyes of the people were looking at Zhang Yan, wanting to see what the first person in the Taihang thieves had to say.
"The Han army is coming fiercelyβ"
This solemn atmosphere didn't last long, Zhang Yan sighed and glanced at everyone, "If you have any opinions, you might as well talk about it!" β
"General, these Han troops have swept through several valleys in a matter of days! I think these people are really deceiving! We might as well gather the rest of our brothers and fight the Han army to the death! The terrain on this well road is complicated, and we can take advantage of the shortcomings of this terrain that the Han army does not know, set up ambushes in some places, and swallow them in one bite! β
Someone was the first to say.
Zhang Yan's face didn't react, and he asked again, "Does anyone else have different opinions?" β
"I don't think I might as well come down, right?"
A faint voice rang out.
As soon as this voice sounded, it immediately attracted everyone's attention. After the destruction of the main force of the Montenegrin army, Zhang Yan was embarrassed and only left with more than 10,000 remnants of the army to flee back, and almost all the large and small thief chiefs were wiped out! Such a fiasco has shaken many people's hearts. It's just that Zhang Yan is still there, but they don't dare to show it.
No one knows Zhang Yan's thoughts, if they have the intention of surrendering, will Zhang Yan think that they are the meticulous work in the Han army? It must be known that the destruction of the main force of the Montenegrin Army this time is absolutely inseparable from the meticulous work of the Han army. If the Han army hadn't done it carefully, it would have been impossible for them to set such a big trap and let them plunge into it.
"Drop?"
Sure enough, under the eyes of everyone, Zhang Yan had not yet spoken, and a powerful man on Zhang Yan's side pulled out his sword viciously, "I think you are the internal response of the Han army, right?" β
Saying this, the big man just wanted to step forward and slash the Han army in his eyes. β
This sudden scene surprised everyone! Fortunately, the thief chieftain who is recognized as "fine work" is also a habitual bandit on Taihang Mountain, and he also has a lot of connections. Seeing that this big man was approaching step by step, those thief chiefs who had befriended him also stepped forward to stop him.
For a moment, this council room was a chicken flying dog jumping up.
Seeing that the noise was so unsightly, Zhang Yan finally couldn't stand it anymore, and snorted coldly, "What are you doing!" Put away all my weapons for me! I'm not dead yet, so why don't you just think about it? β
"Humph!"
Liu Shi, that is, the powerful man, had no choice but to put away his sword and soldier angrily after hearing Zhang Yan's cold drink, and sat down again.
Zhang Yan's indifferent eyes glanced at the Xiaoqu Shuai who persuaded him to surrender again, "You can also tell me, why did you want to surrender to the Han army?" β
"General!"
Xiao Qu Shuai, who made everyone regard it as a "fine work", showed an angry face, "I am not a fine work of the Han army!" I, Guo Daniu, have been in Taihang for seven or eight years, how do these brothers know that they don't know me? In this battle of Wolf Meng in Yuxian County, I, Guo Daniu, also suffered several wounds, so I escaped to ensure the general! β
"The reason why I said I want to surrender is not for myself, but for my brothers and generals! This Han army is now menacing, and Wen Hou's 100,000 army is marching into Taihang, how can we resist it? Not to mention that those Han troops don't know the terrain, I'm afraid that the Han army now knows everything about us. Otherwise, those Han troops would not have marched so fast! β
Guo Daniu's voice became louder and louder the more he spoke, and his body was obviously trembling with excitement, "Now most of us are old, weak, sick and disabled, not to mention fighting with those Han soldiers, whether we can survive this winter is between the two words!" Lack of food and clothing, how to fight this war? It's better to simply surrender to the Han army and find a way for the brothers to survive......"
"How do you not know if this is a dead end?"
Liu Shi sneered, "Maybe that Wen Hou is waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net, and then dig a big pit anywhere and bury us together!" Maybe before we saw Wen Hou, we were cut off by a certain fine work, as a salute to meet Wen Hou......"
Wow.
As soon as Liu Shi's words came out, everyone's faces changed instantly. That's where these people are worried, too! This idea of surrender is not something that Guo Daniu has alone! Which of the big and small thief chiefs here doesn't have the slightest idea? It's just that as Liu Shi is worried about, they are really afraid of putting down the swords, then they can only be the fish on the chopping board, which can be slaughtered.
Guo Daniu was also silent for a while, as if he didn't have the words to refute. What else can be said? Could it be that he could guarantee that Wen Hou would not attack them?
Seeing that Guo Daniu was speechless, Liu Shi was even more proud, "I don't think the Han army is afraid!" As long as we can hold the barrier, how can the Han army storm it? As for the problem of food, clothing, and food, just let all the grain and clothing in the surrounding valleys be sacrificed! As long as they can survive this time, the Han army will definitely not besiege ...... for a long time."
Before Liu Shi's words were finished, they aroused the anger of the public.
"Offering food and armor? What about our brethren? What about our old and infirm women and children? β
"Even if you don't give it, you can't keep it! Sooner or later, these valleys will be flattened by the Han army! In that case, why don't you take out the rest of your food and armor and stick to the base camp! As for the old and weak women and children, they will all be handed over to the Han army......"
"The general must not ......"
"Yan Shuai! You can't abandon us! β
ββ¦β¦β
Many people suddenly couldn't sit still. What Liu Shi said is really too ruthless! If Zhang Yan really listened to his advice, then many of the thieves present would become outcasts!
In the council chamber, wolves cried and ghosts howled.
The firelight in the brazier was still jumping, and Zhang Yan's black eyes were also a little brighter. The majestic gaze glanced at everyone, "Rest assured, I will never abandon a brother!" Go back to your camp first. β
After this eviction order, everyone didn't dare to continue messing around, so they got up and said goodbye.
Liu Shi smiled and approached Zhang Yan, but before he got closer, Zhang Yan frowned, "You go down too!" β
"Yan Shuai!"
Looking at Zhang Yan, Liu Shi's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he looked very entangled when he wanted to speak and stopped.
"Go down!"
I don't know why, Zhang Yan actually hated this person extremely from the bottom of his heart, and expelled this person with a wave of his hand.
