Chapter 76: There is no undercurrent of goodness

Beads of sweat the size of beans came out of Zamuhe's forehead, and Zamuhe was unwilling to lie down with the help of his attendants. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter Zamu and making a "please" gesture, General Ji began to report on the battle situation.

"In this battle, our army suffered nearly 7,000 casualties and unknown whereabouts, and now there are about 3,000 soldiers and generals in the whole army......"

The statistics of the Huns are almost the same as those of the Zhao army, and after the general finished narrating, Zha Muhe looked up at the sky with a dull face, as if he had nothing to love.

Seeing the patriarch's reaction like this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little at a loss. "Patriarch, if you are really sad, cry!" The witch doctor stepped forward and persuaded: "Depression is not conducive to the recovery of the body, and our clan is still waiting for His Highness to lead us to take revenge!" ”

Immediately, Zamuhe, who only listened, shouted: "Kill me!" Hearing this, the generals couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"The Great Khan has an order! The big man has an order! In the distance, a knight in a felt hat repeatedly shouted as he galloped towards the place where Zamuhe was.

"Stop the horse!" Several of Zamuhe's guards quickly rushed forward to stop the fast horse, shouting: "Pass the order on the spot!" ”

The messenger knight reined in his horse and roared in his mouth: "The Great Khan has an order, and the fall of Shanwu City is only in the evening, and he ordered the Zha patriarch to lead his soldiers and horses to the city as soon as possible to join the 100,000 Hun soldiers and horses." After saying that, the knight didn't wait for Zha Mu and reacted, and hurriedly turned around and left.

"Congratulations to the patriarch, congratulations to the patriarch!" After the messenger's horses had gone away, an unknown general suddenly fell to his knees and saluted Zamuhe.

"Now even a mere messenger looks down on our army, how happy!" Zamuhe, who couldn't see the general, smiled bitterly.

"The patriarch doesn't know, as the so-called misfortune and blessing rely on, and now the Khan is bound to win the city of goodness, this is really a good opportunity for us to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters!" The kneeling general explained excitedly.

"What do you mean?" A sharp glint appeared in Zamu and Wenyan's eyes, and then asked.

"I will send the patriarch eight words: Ming subdue the Khan, and secretly hand over to Zhao State." The kneeling general replied again.

"What's your name?" Zamuhe got up again in shock, staring into the eyes of the kneeling general and asked.

"The Last Commander!" The kneeling general replied with a smile on his face.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The black clouds are overwhelming the city and wants to destroy it, and it is best to use these seven words to describe the situation faced by Shanwu City at this moment.

As a major city in front of Zhao directly facing the invasion of the Xiongnu, under the many years of guarding the herd of the famous general Li Mu, Shanwucheng has already become a fortress with both offense and defense. In the eyes of the Zhao people, it was like a beacon in the sea, condensing the hope of millions of people in the north, and for the Huns, it was like a reef in front of a sea ship, circling it every time.

The importance of Shanwu City for both sides is self-evident, so no matter what the war, Shanwu City has always been a city that the Zhao army must defend to the death, and it is also a city that the Xiongnu army must attack, and the people in the city have to experience an attack by the Xiongnu army almost every year.

The commonplace wars have long trained the common people of Shanwu City into elite soldiers. During Li Mu's reign, once the Xiongnu attacked, every household spontaneously took up their posts, and there was no need for the government to suppress or rectify, and there would be no panic in the city.

However, the protector Li Mu moved to the left, the new county guarded the lack of talent, and the Hun army attacked this time, and the usual chaos in the city inevitably appeared.

In the backyard of the county guard's mansion, on a small pavilion surrounded by water, four well-dressed people sat around, all worried.

After making eye contact, one of the people's lips trembled, and he first asked, "Gong Yan, can this good city be defended?" ”。

The face of the person who was called Yan Gong sank, and his eyes glanced at the person who spoke viciously, and then asked rhetorically, "What do you say?" ”

"There are different hearts in this good city, I'm afraid I can't hold it, right?" Another person speculated uneasily.

Silence, another silence, Yan Gong was silent for a long time, as if he was in a state of mind, without any body movements, as if acquiescing to someone else's inquiry.

"If this good city really can't be defended, we hope that Yan Gong can send troops to escort me out of the city!" Another said.

Silence, still a period of silence, Yan Gong still did not say anything, and the other three did not say anything, but they all looked at Yan Gong, waiting for his response.

The four of them knew in their hearts that whoever spoke first at this moment would fall behind in the next negotiations, so they all held their breath in their hearts and stiffened.

"Then what can I get!" Finally, Yan Gong was the first to not hold back, he sighed and asked lightly.

"No matter how the situation develops, we can at least promise you your life!" One of them said coldly.

"That's all." Yan Gong glared angrily when he heard this, and asked with a violent expression: "You unload the mill and kill the donkey, aren't you afraid that I will bite back?" ”

"Yan Gong is angry, Yan Gong is angry!" Another kindly persuaded him: "The boy of the Guo family has this virtue, don't you know it?" Let me explain it to you! ”

After a pause, he continued: "This Xiongnu invasion has not been seen for many years, and the war caused by it has not been seen for many years, so someone must be responsible for the casualties of the army and civilians and the loss of grain, grass and weapons. The result of our deliberations is that no matter how bad the battle is, as long as you can escape from this place of death, you will be sure to die without worry. ”

Although the meaning of a few words is the same as the previous one, the tone is more gentle and calm, which makes it easier for people to accept. The words had fallen, and Yan Gong fell into deep thought again.

Another person opened his mouth and added: "What Steward Zhao said is the consensus of our major families, and it is the most basic condition we give you. Of course, if you can keep this good city, we will protect you as a rich man; If you can keep the tide of battle from deteriorating too much, we will keep your position; If you can calm this war, it is not impossible to be promoted. But after these days of observation, I am not optimistic about you. ”

"How dare you look down on me!" Yan Gong pointed to the person who spoke, and glared angrily. The person who spoke did not think he was angry, but he just turned his head away and did not look at him.

"What Brother Tian said is true, please think carefully about it, I hope you will make a decision as soon as possible!" The young man who was replaced by the Guo family's boy looked at Yan Gong with disdain and said.

"We are staying at the Handan Inn not far from the house, Yan Gong has thought it through, please come to us as soon as possible!" Steward Zhao stood up and arched his hand towards Yan Gong and said, "I'll wait for the three of us to leave!" Then he left without waiting for Yan Gong's reaction.

In other words, who are the four of Yan Gong, the Guo family boy, Steward Zhao, and Brother Tian? Yanmen County Shouyan Ju, Handan Guo Shi Guo Kai, Zhao Wang's uncle Zhao Bao's family ministers and Zhao Wei's relatives also.
