Chapter 421: Under the Stone Town
This is a night that countless people can't sleep, torment, anticipation, all kinds of complex emotions are mixed together, and the time of the night has passed like this!
In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Wei Jie was about to take advantage of the difficulty of a little sleepiness to rest for a while, but there was a knock on the door of the room.
"Uncle Bao, get up quickly, disaster is coming!"
It was Liu Muzhi's voice, from his voice, it sounded like he seemed to have slept well last night, and his spirit was upright, and the disaster in his mouth did not make Wei Jie's spirit nervous, Liu Muzhi's exaggeration that he had already experienced it, if there was really any great disaster, I was afraid that Liu Muzhi would not be as simple as knocking on the door!
Wei Jie's slowly got up, and after tidying up his clothes, he opened the door without hurrying, Liu Muzhi didn't speak, grabbed Wei Jie's arm and walked out as soon as possible.
"Why is Daohe so in such a hurry?"
Wei Jie, while letting Liu Muzhi drag him forward, asked casually.
"You fall asleep! No one dares to call you yet, Huan Xuan has already arrived in the city! Liu Muzhi said angrily.
"What? How did it come so quickly? ”
Wei Jie's spirit was excited, and the whole person came to his senses, and he couldn't help but break free of Liu Muzhi's arm, and his feet were much faster, and he instantly threw Liu Muzhi behind him!
In Wei Jie's view, the first thing Huan Xuan did when he set foot in Jiankang should be to stabilize the hearts of the people in Jiankang City, and then he would send troops to Stone City and ask Sima Yao to go back, but he didn't expect the Jingzhou army to come so quickly, this is almost non-stop!
"Uncle Bao, wait for me!"
...
The military appearance and momentum of the Jingzhou army made Wei Jie's scalp tingle, it seemed that the number of people was not very large, and there were about 10,000 people when they were full, but the soldiers of the Jingzhou army were all high-spirited, and it seemed that as long as Huan Xuan gave an order, everyone would definitely sacrifice their lives to attack Stone City!
Huan Xuan did not go out of the nest, it seems that some people were left behind to maintain order and stabilize people's hearts in Jiankang, it seems that this is Hou Liangsheng's idea again!
Huan Xuan, who was wearing a silver helmet and a white robe, was sitting on horseback at the moment, standing in front of the battle one by one.
It has a momentum that looks down on the world!
"Shechen Sima Daozi, Wang Gong stepped forward to speak!"
After Huan Xuan nodded slightly, the soldiers behind him slapped their horses and stepped forward, and shouted under the walls of Stone City.
Wei Jie's attention was noticed that in addition to Sima Yao, including Sima Daozi, Wang Gong and others, they had all come to the city wall, but unlike Zhang Xiong and Liu Yu and others, their faces were a little pale, obviously frightened by the momentum of the Jingzhou army, especially Wang Gong, who seemed to involuntarily tremble when he saw Huan Xuan!
"Huan Xuan thief, do you want to learn from Huan Wen back then? Trying to rebel? Sima Daozi poked his head out and shouted loudly, his confidence was quite sufficient, but Wang Gong didn't say anything.
"This king is here, if you have a kind, you will come and take this king's head!"
"Rebellion?" Huan Xuan stepped forward and said with a laugh.
"You are waiting for the ministers, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and now you are holding the emperor hostage to come to this stone city, and it is you who really want to rebel and cause trouble, right?"
"If you still don't hand over the emperor, do you really want this general to attack the city and divide the corpses of your five horses one by one?"
"I didn't expect General Huan to be not only good at martial arts, but also very eloquent!" Wei Dai came to the city wall and laughed.
"This back-to-back rake has caught Wei Jie's guard a little off guard, dare to ask the general, you are not in Jingzhou to be your Nanjun Gong, how can you mobilize the army without an edict and occupy Jiankang City, and now you are besieging Stone City, the general is not going to rebel, but for what?"
"It turned out to be you yellow-mouthed child!"
As soon as he saw Wei Jie, Huan Xuan's eyes couldn't help but erupt with fire, but he calmed down again, and said with a sneer: "Huan Xuan sent troops to build health, one is to protect the holy driver, and the other is to clear the monarch's side, so that you and other ministers can confess to the law!" ”
"Joke, I only came to this stone city to protect the holy driver, Huan Xuan, you chaotic ministers and thieves dare to reverse black and white?" Sima Daozi was furious.
"Do you want the emperor to come in person, and I can't discern with you before the battle?"
"What King Huiji said is, Huan Xuan, the old man was instigated by you in the early years, so he did something foolish, and today you finally can't help but do it yourself?" Wang Gong also took the opportunity to interject and said.
"The emperor is just a child, and now he has fallen into the hands of you traitors, how can his words be counted at this time?" Huan Xuan said with a sneer.
"Give you a day to think about it, if you don't hand over the emperor before sunset, don't blame General Ben for not remembering the feelings of being a minister in the same palace in the past, the day the city is broken, it is the time when you die!"
After finishing speaking, Huan Xuan turned his horse and returned to the formation, and his figure quickly disappeared into the army of the Jingzhou army, leaving only Sima Daozi and Wang Gong on the city wall looking at each other!
"General Wei, did you hear me? Huan Xuan is going to attack the city after sunset, how is it good now? Wang Gong pounded his feet and said.
"If we knew this, we shouldn't have stayed in Stone City, we should have gone directly to Jingkou, only when we arrived in the camp of the Beifu soldiers, Huan Xuan didn't dare to be so presumptuous!"
"Didn't Lord Guozhang think that with the speed of your hurry, you could rush to Jingkou before the Jingzhou army caught up with us, right?" Sima Daozi said with a sneer.
"Don't quarrel with each other!" Wei Jie, said indifferently.
"You look at the posture of the Jingzhou army, it is obvious that they want to besiege but not attack, they do not carry any siege equipment, and there are no ready-made siege equipment in Jiankang City to use, and the siege after sunset is just Huan Xuan's threatening words!"
Sima Daozi and Wang Gong heard the words and looked at the Jingzhou army under the city again, and under this look, they were immediately relieved at the same time, the fact is indeed as Wei Jie's said, the Jingzhou army did not carry half a siege equipment, so it seems that the siege is really just Huan Xuan's threatening words!
"It's better for General Wei to be careful!" Wang Gong said with a smile, but unexpectedly it caused Sima Daozi to snort coldly!
"General Wei, in your opinion, what is Huan Xuan's intention to do this, and how should we deal with it?" I only heard Sima Daozi ask at Wei Jie.
"Huan Xuan's move should have two intentions, one is to show the officials and people who stay in Jiankang City, so that he can get a little support from public opinion in Jiankang!" Wei Jie's groaning said.
"Besides, Huan Xuan wants to isolate the stone city from the outside world, cut off our idea of asking for help, although the stone city is strong, the supply in the city is limited, and when the food is exhausted, we have no other way but to sacrifice the emperor and surrender out of the city!"
Sima Daozi and Wang Gong all changed color when they heard what they said!
