While Wei Shuo was still trying to convince Yang Han, the main force of LΓΌ Guang's army successfully entered Yanqi, and the forward rangers had appeared near Gaochang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
LΓΌ Guang's army was temporarily stationed in Yanqi, and then he summoned his subordinates to discuss the military situation, and everyone had a fierce debate about how to march into the army.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I can't wait for the generals to come to Gaochang in the future, when how to take this important place as soon as possible, please speak freely."
"General, why don't you attack the army overnight and catch Gaochang off guard?" General Peng Huang suggested.
General Kang Sheng shook his head and said: "Don't trust it, in case Liang Xi has a heavy army in Gaochangtun, and Yang Han is by no means an easy person, if he can't attack the army for a long time, he will be trapped under the fortified city, and there will be endless troubles." β
"The key is that at present, our army has neither a way back nor strong reinforcements, and cannot afford to lose a battle, so we must be cautious in everything."
Lu Guang bowed his head slightly when he heard this, agreeing with Kang Sheng's opinion, now the army is hanging alone, there is no city to rely on, although there are many soldiers and generals, but everyone is not his henchmen at the beginning, but the court suddenly collapsed, and everyone had to be attached to him.
In this unstable situation, LΓΌ Guang knew that the army could only continue to win, and did not have any capital to defeat the battle.
While everyone was deliberating, the guards outside came to report: "Gaochang sent an envoy Wei Shuo to ask for a meeting." β
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Guang's eyes when he heard this, and he suppressed his excitement and said, "Please, please come in!" β
Du Jin on the left hand side said with excitement on his face: "Dudu, Yang Han's old boy will actually send a messenger, this is something we have never thought of!" Maybe things will take a turn for the better, and our army may take Gaochang without blood. β
"What does General Du mean is that it is possible for Yang Han to surrender to our army?"
"I think there is a chance that this will be the case, otherwise with Yang Hanzhi's loyalty, how could he send an envoy over? It's pretty much the same to send some soldiers and horses. β
Peng Huang smiled and said, "Governor, General Du, maybe Yang Han's old man is scared by our 100,000 army!" β
Lu Guang frowned and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense! Yang Han is loyal, brave and heroic, is he a person who is easily frightened? β
At this time, Du Jin couldn't help but mutter: "Surrender, surrender...... It would be great if Gao Chang really surrendered without a fight. β
"General Du, when the messenger comes in later, he will not speak, but hide among the people first, and leave everything to the general for the time being."
"Obey the orders of the Governor!"
Leaning less, Wei Shuo walked into the big tent with his head held high under the gaze of everyone, and when he looked around, he found that there were people standing on both sides, but the main seat in the middle was empty, and he said secretly: "Could it be that Lu Guang is not here?" β
However, after he carefully observed the circle, he found that there was a person in the middle of the crowd on the left, who was in his forties and looked mighty and majestic, faintly the head of the crowd.
Thinking of this, Wei Shuo did not have the intention of debunking the other party, but just acted according to general etiquette.
"In Xia Weishuo, add Gaochang Cangcao Shi, this time on the order of Yang Taishou as a plenipotentiary envoy, I came to ask to see the Governor."
According to Lu Guang's intentions, Du Jin shouted loudly: "What is your envoy's intention to ask to see our Grand Governor?" β
Wei Shuo found that Lu Guang's gaze had already stayed on him, so he laughed loudly: "There is no malice in coming here, and I ask the general to guide me and ask to see Lord Dudu." β
Seeing that Du Jin bowed his head and was silent, Wei Shuo laughed: "Ladies and gentlemen, the so-called God has the virtue of a good life, and my family Taishou also has this benevolence, and I hope to make friends with your ministry." β
"Friendship? How to get along? Is Yang Taishou willing to take the initiative to give up Gaochang City? β
"Hahaha!"
"Yes, yes, as long as the old man surnamed Yang gives up Gaochang, you and I will be friends."
"If not, my 100,000-strong army will definitely set foot in Gaochang."
As soon as Wei Shuo's words fell, he attracted a burst of ridicule and ridicule from the generals of the Lu army, but only Lu Guang and Du Jin were silent, staring at him with burning eyes to see how he reacted.
"That's not true! The friendship between the two sides is by no means just dependent on my Gaochang family to show goodwill, and you should also express it. β
In the face of everyone's ridicule, Wei Shuo was unmoved, and said unhurriedly: "If you only rely on the strong and bully, then I, Gaochang, can only fight to the end!" Although you are outnumbered, after all, you have just finished the war with the countries of the Western Regions, and you have come all the way, so you must have been tired of the division. β
"Although Gaochang said that there are few soldiers, after all, he has the advantage of the city. Even if the city is inevitably destroyed in the end, it must not be possible to please you after the war. At that time, I don't know if you still have the strength to fight for Liangzhou, I think many people in Guzang City want to see you and me fight and lose. β
"The reason why the snipe and the clam compete with each other, and the fisherman profits! You don't understand, do you? β
This remark suddenly silenced the noisy tent, and even Lu Guang and Du Jin were as heavy as water. To be honest, this is exactly where Lu Guang and Du Jin are worried, a small Gaochang is not a concern at all, but in any case, Gaochang also has nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, and if it really provokes the Gaochang people to hate the enemy, it will be them who will suffer in the future.
LΓΌ Guang's ambition was to capture Liangzhou, and until he achieved this goal, he would never waste his strength elsewhere. If he can win Gaochang without a fight, it will not only reduce the losses of the army, but also effectively deter the various forces in Liangzhou, which will help him divide and win over the local forces in the future.
On the contrary, if the army cannot fight in Gaochang for a long time, it is very likely that all forces in Liangzhou will see the reality of the army, and then unite to send troops, and then the army will be really in danger at that time.
Thinking of this, Lu Guang motioned to Du Jin with his eyes, asking him to quickly think of ways to appease everyone.
Du Jin nodded slightly, paused and said: "Your envoy is reasonable, you and I really shouldn't make a big move, but how can you make me believe that you are not cheating?" You must know that before this, Yang Taishou had been clamoring to die and starve to death for the soldiers of the Western Expedition. β
"This ...... This was indeed Taishou's previous idea, but then I thought that no matter what, both you and I are officials of the Qin State, and you have just returned from making a meritorious contribution! Lord Yang couldn't bear to be martyred by meritorious soldiers, so he ordered to come down and contact the Metropolitan Governor. β
"According to the intention of my family's Taishou, Gaochang can be temporarily used as a place for the army to be stationed, but once you enter the territory of Liangzhou after defeating the Yumen Pass, you need to leave Gaochang as soon as possible, and you need to ensure that Gaochang's interests are not violated afterwards."
"During this period, Gaochang can also provide some food and grass for the army, although it is not much, but it is also the heart of my family."
Wei Shuo's words were understood by everyone, to put it bluntly, Gaochang had no intention of being involved in the dispute in Liangzhou, as long as the status quo of Gaochang was not changed, the army could pass through Gaochang unimpeded, and at the same time, it could also be temporarily used as a garrison for the army.
At this time, everyone present was all moved, they didn't care about Gaochang's life or death, they only cared about the belonging of Liangzhou. In the eyes of everyone, Gaochang is no different from the previous Qiuzi, Yanqi and other Western Regions vassal countries, and they all belong to territories that can be abandoned, otherwise why would everyone withdraw from the Western Regions thousands of miles away?
If you really value a corner of Gaochang, it is far better to stay in Qiuci and dominate the Western Regions!
Now for everyone, the most important thing is to take Liangzhou as soon as possible is the right way.
"If you are still not at ease, after the Governor agrees, you can send a general, command thousands of soldiers as the vanguard of the army, and go to Gaochang first, so that you don't have to worry about my family's evil intentions."
As soon as this condition came out, everyone couldn't hold it anymore, and they all looked at Lu Guang in the crowd. Seeing that his identity was exposed, Lu Guang generously stepped forward and walked to the main seat in the middle to stand still.
"What your envoy said is already known to the Governor, and Yang Taishou's sincerity is also felt. But the stakes are bound to be high, and we need to discuss one or two. Trouble the envoy and go to the side tent to rest for a moment or two, and then talk to the envoy in detail when the plan has been decided. β
"In that case, I'll take my leave first!"
When Wei Shuo's figure left the big tent, Lu Guang set his eyes on the most relied on general, Du Jin.
"Does General Du think Yang Han's surrender is fraudulent this time?"
"According to the general's observation, there is a chance that this time it will be true! But just in case, the last general asked for orders to personally lead his troops to Gaochang first. β
"Well, okay, let's believe Yang Han once."
