The failure to capture Ugin that night was something that many generals, including Ma Tan and me, did not expect.
Just as the city of Ugin was about to fall, I saw a young barbarian general appear at the top of the city, carrying a sword and shouting something, while killing several soldiers who were about to run down the city. Since the city has gradually organized an effective defense, the arrows are constantly shooting, because it is dark, it is really inconvenient to attack the city, and in the end, Zhao Yun can only order to retreat first, and then use siege equipment to attack tomorrow.
After dawn the next day, when the smoke was curling, just as our army began to cook and prepare to launch a final attack on Ugin City after a full meal, Shamoko rushed into Zhao Yun's big tent with great anger and asked Zhao Yun why he didn't tell him in advance. Zhao Yun was silent, not knowing how to explain, but Ma Jian said to him: "The general has already expected that Na Guye will be eager to launch an attack after seeing you enter the city, and with your ability, the king, you will definitely be able to kill out of the city, so as not to tell you in advance that you are timid and show flaws in your heart, I didn't tell you first!" ”
Shamoke was stunned for a moment when he heard Ma Tan call him the king, Ma Tan smiled and pointed to a wooden box on Zhao Yun's case and said to Shamoke: "The rebel leader Naguye ambushed me, I think the king will know last night, you are the eldest son of the barbarian king, the barbarian king is dead, the traitor has been ambushed, in the future, you will be the undisputed king in this land!" ”
There was a hint of joy on Shamoko's face, which diluted the anger he had just had, but he still found a step for himself and complained, "Then you can't use me as bait, and treat me and my subordinates like mustard!" ”
Ma Jian smiled and walked to Shamoke's side, patted his burly body lightly, and said: "Only when the king puts himself in danger and leads out the enemy to avenge his father, is the capital to be the king in the future, General Zhao's hard work, forgive the king!" ”
At this point, although this idea was not Zhao Yun's idea, as the commander of the first army, Zhao Yun was also open-minded, and actually stood up and hugged his fist at Shamoke, and said, "I have no choice, the king forgive me!" ”
Seeing Zhao Yun like this, Shamoke waved his hand and said, "That's it, that's it, General Zhao helped me avenge my father, forget it!" ”
At this point, everyone was happy, and they had breakfast in Zhao Yun's military tent, preparing to send troops to storm Wujin City with large siege equipment.
Because all the rebels who chased down with the bone field last night have died to death, and now the number of rebels in Ugin City is only a few thousand, and the defense force has been greatly weakened, so it is no longer the huge price to pay for storming Ugin City as it was when our army first arrived.
Of course, the fewer casualties, the better, but after last night's defeat, it is no longer possible for the rebels in Ugin City to go out of the city to engage our army, and it seems that the current Ugin City can only be solved by storming.
Unexpectedly, just as the army was about to set off, a red horse suddenly ran on the avenue in the direction of Ugin City. Shamoko saw the man on the horse and excitedly rode forward to respond, the other generals had not seen it or maybe didn't know, but I recognized at a glance that it was Shana who had been imprisoned in the city by Naguye and sent someone to guard her.
I told the other generals about this, and the other generals were just as puzzled as I was. Looking at Shana's red helmet and red armor, she looks heroic, and she doesn't look like she desperately escaped from Ugin City.
But she is the most important hostage in Ugin City at this time, if she doesn't escape, will anyone be stupid enough to let her out?
It turned out that Shana really didn't let it go, but the person who let her out was not stupid, and after asking who the main general was from Shamoke, Shana took out a letter from her horse bag and handed it to Zhao Yun. She knelt down with a thud and said to Zhao Yun: "Ask the general to accept the surrender in the city!" ”
Shana didn't look at me the whole time, as if I was just air in her eyes. I could never have imagined that it was she who was taken captive and became the "spoils" of the rebels who asked for surrender for the city.
Thinking of this, my heart actually chuckled: "Could it be that she has been forced to commit herself to that deer and become the wife of her son who killed her father's enemy, and now she is interceding for him?" ”
Zhao Yun helped Shana up, and then read the letter and asked her to tell her why the city had to surrender. After listening to Shana's story, I was relieved that she hadn't married the deer, and I felt sorry for Qing'er, but it seemed difficult to resist this sense of relief.
It was through Shana's account that I learned that it was just after our army withdrew last night. Knowing that most of the city's army had been destroyed, Naludo found her and begged her to intercede with Shamoko and get him to agree to the surrender of Ugin. Because Na Lu Duo has never used force on Shana, but only hopes that she can marry him sincerely, and the mutiny that night was also suddenly launched by his father without telling him, so although Shana has no good impression of Na Luduo, she does not hate him.
Shana said that she and Na Luduo had grown up together, and that after she was arrested in Yuannan City, it was Na Luduo who made her father try to persuade her father to withdraw from the army and ask for his release. And her kneeling was not just hoping that Zhao Yun could accept the surrender of Wujin City, she was so that Zhao Yun could let the deer have a way out.
Shamoke's brows were already twisted when he heard Shana's words, Zhao Yun thought about it, and asked Shana: "Letting that deer live is a condition for the surrender of Ugin City?" ”
"No!" Shana smiled bitterly and shook her head: "That Luduo said that as long as the general is willing to let his tribe live, he is willing to die." ”
She knelt down again and said to Zhao Yun with a pleading face: "This is just a request from Shana, I have already decided when that Luduo took the initiative to let me come out with the surrender letter!" ”
Zhao Yun set his eyes on Shamoke, who looked away and sighed: "That's it!" That's it! As long as my sister lives, I will promise anything! ”
Zhao Yun looked at me again, and Shana was finally willing to look at me, but the plea in her eyes was not for me, I had the heart to avoid it, but I remembered her arrogant demeanor when I first saw her, and I still nodded when I looked at her now.
Shana's face suddenly became happy, but her eyes immediately left me, just looking at Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun said: "Okay! Since your brother has agreed, I have agreed privately, and I will intercede for him from my lord, and as long as he is willing to submit sincerely, I can let him live. ”
After that, the deer on the head of Ugin City opened the city gate soon after Shana entered the city alone, and a large number of his people in the city, who were supposed to be slaves, regained their freedom, and Shamoke, who avenged his father's revenge, rescued so many people, and with the support of our army, the surrounding tribes also sent envoys to recognize him as the new barbarian king of the Wuxi barbarians, and correspondingly, the captured tribes of the Guye tribe became slaves of their original slaves, these are the affairs of the barbarians led by Shamoke themselves, and Zhao Yun and I did not interfere.
However, the deer who had been spared his life and left Ugin City alone did not look back when he left Ugin City, except for giving Shana a deep bow before leaving.
I looked at his resolute back and felt a little uneasy about letting him go, and when the class teacher returned to Nanjun, Shamoke came to me and spread the word that Shana said that she never wanted to see me again, and that the marriage contract between me and her was nullified, and let me go back to Nanjun to live with my wife.
I don't know if this is Shana's intention, but before I left, I saw Shana and his brother go out of the city to see each other off, Shana saw me look at her, her expression was not cold, but nodded at me slightly, and stopped looking at me.
It was only then that I was convinced that what she had asked her brother to say to me was true.
