Chapter 59: Armed Intervention (5)
At this time, the art of war had not yet been fully developed, and no one thought of the fact that he had traveled 300 miles along the river for three or five days. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There was some fire on the city wall, and at this time the people's hearts were unstable, and it was natural for the city to be closed at night, and there were still some people walking back and forth on the city wall.
Then, in the moonlight, Chen Jian led the team to lurk outside near a grain field, looking at the sky, and when the time was almost up, he asked someone to light a bonfire and make torches with pine branches.
The sudden lighting of torches by three hundred people immediately caused panic on the city walls, and a few barks were heard from the movement outside, and the barking that followed was only blind obedience.
Chen Jian asked people to deliberately make a movement, led people to a place a stone's throw away from the city wall, and roared loudly.
Soon a voice came from the city wall: "Who? ”
Chen Jian picked up the torch, took a photo in front of the face of the old leader's son, and then turned back to reflect the dress of everyone, and shouted: "You don't recognize the blood of the old leader, why can't you recognize the relatives who have tied their hair to the right?" Could it be that when relatives arrived, they wanted to meet each other behind closed doors? ”
Everyone behind him clamored together, and several people from Sucheng probably recognized the city wall, and shouted: "When the leader of Suyue attacked Dongyi that day, we were all the same enemy, but now we don't recognize it after only three or two years?" ”
The man in the city panicked, and looked carefully at the young man beside Chen Jian, who couldn't see the appearance clearly from too far away, but he also knew that the people in the city must be relatives, and when he couldn't make up his mind, a person came from a distance: "Don't open the door first, and talk about it when the leader comes." ”
Someone had already gone to report it, and when the newly appointed leader heard it, he was shocked and sweated. The person he sent to Sucheng hadn't come back yet, and he didn't know what was going on in Sucheng, so it was said that even if Sucheng made any moves, it would be impossible for Sucheng to come here so quickly.
After following him for a long time, and following the old leader to the Sucheng Alliance last winter, the new leader asked, "Which clan is it?" ”
"Some of the people from Sucheng, the other group, it seems that they are the people of Xiacheng who make a lot of noise in winter, their voices are a little strange, I have studied with Ji Xia for a while, I will not hear it wrong."
"Ji Xia? He...... What did he come to do? It's a thousand miles away from the Grass River, what's in it for him to care about this? How many people did he bring? ”
"Torches, bright, about three hundred people."
"Three hundred? What do you want to do? ”
With the confusion in his heart, he hurriedly called for someone to inform his people, and they were all ready for the unexpected. When he was elected leader, it was not that he did not think about the reaction of all parties, this is no longer the era of solitude in the city. But after thinking about it, he felt that being the leader was no different from what others did, and he also sent someone to Sucheng as soon as possible to say that he would abide by all the rules and covenants left by the old leader, and there would never be anything out of the ordinary.
At the beginning of the establishment of the new covenant in Sucheng, it was the time when stability was needed the most, and he was ninety percent sure that Sucheng would not care about this matter, and there were only three hundred soldiers outside the city, so he was a little confused for a while.
In order to show his respect for the old chief, he did not touch the old chief's private property, and he took out food and silk and the like to distribute to everyone in the city, only saying that although the son of the old chief did something wrong, he did not care about it because of his respect for the old chief, and only waited for the child to come back to inherit the old chief's land slaves, and would let him share the fatigue of governing the city.
He earnestly hoped that the Dongyi people would come over at this time, so that his position could be stabilized more quickly, and the alliance would inevitably support him strongly, and any forces in the city that opposed him would also become traitors before the invasion of the Dongyi people, and would be spurned.
However, the Dongyi people were busy with internal friction, even if they told the Dongyi people about the changes in the city as soon as possible, they sent an envoy to beg the Dongyi people to fight them, but the Dongyi people turned a deaf ear and did not care, and there was no movement to send troops.
The Dongyi people did not come, but the relatives of the Great River came, which was the last thing he wanted to see.
With a little apprehension, he came to the city wall, looked at the pine branch fire in the distance under the city, recognized the old leader's son and Chen Jian at a glance, and asked, "Is it Ji Xia under the city?" ”
"Exactly."
"Ji Xia is not in Caohe, not in Onozawa, why did he come here? Winter goodbye, now it's been half a year, how is Ji Xia? ”
"It's fine. Now that you recognize it, why don't you open the city gates? Is this how the rules of the city treat guests? ”
"I heard Ji Xia's lecture in Sucheng, and I admired Ji Xia a lot, especially Ji Xia's emphasis on rules. I was chosen as a leader by the people, and naturally I had to obey the rules of the city. The rule that the old chief had laid before he passed away was that the gates of the city were to be locked after sunset, and no one was allowed to open them, and that nothing would be said tomorrow. This is not as good as the three cities of Caohe, and there are Dongyi people to the east, and everyone has to abide by this rule. It's not that I'm snubbing Ji Xia, but the old leader is leaving, and I'm breaking the rules left by the old leader, how do I face everyone in the city? ”
"Since Ji Xia is the most disciplined, is it possible for me to break the rules? I'll ask someone to arrange a meal, and I'll have a banquet for Ji Xia and your relatives early tomorrow morning! Please don't be surprised by your relatives, and please don't let me be a person who breaks the rules, the leaders don't follow the rules, how can you make everyone in the city obey the rules? ”
The city was lonely for a moment, and Su Tang on the side of Chen Jian whispered: "It's just right, enter the city early tomorrow morning, capture this person at the banquet with three hundred warriors, and then talk about his punishment." Our 300 people categorically can't defeat the city, Ji Xia's method is really good, and after entering the city, these 300 warriors are enough to defeat his cronies. ”
However, to Su Tang's surprise, Jian Chen shook his head, and instead shouted loudly at the city wall: "This time we are not here to have a banquet with you, the leader of Su Yue asked me to question you about four things!" ”
shouted out loudly his own unrelenting desire to add sin, the city wall was stunned, and Su Tang was even more confused, what the hell is this for? Neither sneak attack, but also did not enter the city after suddenly causing an incident, and even shouted out directly, isn't this a precautionary person? Could it be that Sucheng has not been at war with Xirong for thirty years, and the people of Xirong will be defeated in the hands of such people when they are now in such a decaying city?
After Chen Jian questioned loudly, he shouted again: "The son of the old leader fled to Sucheng and informed the Suyue chieftain of your matter, and the Suyue chief was furious and sent me to question him on his behalf. Now open the gates of the city quickly, let us in, and tell your mistakes before our ancestors with thorns is the right way! I, the three hundred men who have slept in the open for several days without rest, are exhausted, and have escorted the son of the old chief to confront you. ”
Su Tang was completely confused, and said in his heart, Ji Xia, what's wrong? Do you really think that with a few words of the kinship alliance, people can lay down their arms? If this is the case, why have twenty years of blood been shed between the tribes of the great river?
The new leader of the city almost laughed, and the original pressure seemed to be instantly relieved, and he said secretly: "In Sucheng, I often hear that Ji Xia and Xirong Grassland have fought and won a succession, and it seems that it is just a boast of the people of Xiacheng. There are only three hundred people under him, and he must have come from Sucheng so fast to here, he must have come running with all his strength, and he was too tired and weak to fight again, since Su Yue sent him to bring this little people, he must not want to be evil to me, it is estimated that Ji Xia has been shouting that the leader of Su Yue has no choice but to let him go this way, which is ridiculous.
