Chapter 164: Surprise Attack on Huan and Shuo (9)
Shuozhou City has been cloudy for the past few days, and it seems that all the spies sent out have inexplicably evaporated from the world, and there are no visiting messengers from any forces.
The city gate was closed, prohibiting all people from entering and leaving, as if the whole world had suddenly disappeared, and it was as if there was only one city left in Shuozhou, which made the people in the city panic.
"Xian Yushuai, the situation is a little wrong, if it is really as rumored, Gao Aocao only divided 20,000 troops to attack, our spies must not be like a stone ox into the sea, and there is no news!"
"Alas, the important thing is that when we went to Zhongshan to contact the messenger who was not in Xiuli, there was no reply, if this continues, we may not be able to hold on for a long time and will have to surrender."
The dark circles under Ahu's thick eyes have almost occupied half of his face, although the eyes don't seem to be too small, but the dullness of the eyes is unbearable.
He also knew about the situation mentioned by his subordinates for a long time, but Ahu likes to keep a lot of things in his heart, because no matter how much he discusses with others, he feels that he can't solve the problem.
"Xian Yushuai, we have an army of 30,000, plus the people of Shuozhou have a good reputation for you, are afraid of the 20,000 soldiers and horses? The surrender of Kaesong will be entrusted with the cultivation ceremony, and I am afraid that it will also be stinking for 10,000 years! ”
"However, the people in the city are innocent, and the war is together, I'm afraid that the lives will be ruined, how can I bear to let the people of Shuozhou suffer this calamity again!"
Ahu was haunted by the innocent situation of the people in the city during the previous battle with Yuwentai's father and son, which may be an important reason why he was able to win the support of several generals and tens of thousands of soldiers.
It can also be said that so many weaknesses in him can't hide the light, yes, Xian Yu Ahu is very kind.
A kind person, in this world, seems to have no way to live, however, he is lucky that he has met an opponent who is very close to his personality - Dugu Zilong.
It's a pity that the reason why he has persisted so far, but he has not surrendered, may be because the spies reported the situation of the Northern Expeditionary Army outside the city, and the focus is that the whole army is hanging a high-lettered flag.
Zilong originally wanted to use Gao Aocao's name, to doubt the opponent, and secondly, to deter the enemy soldiers, Gao Aocao's name spread all over the north less than a month after the start of the Northern Expedition.
Because he likes to kill vertically and horizontally too much, everyone in the north has a legend that Gao Aocao only fought a battle by himself, and he actually beheaded three enemy generals and killed countless soldiers.
Xianyu Ahu is afraid, such a murderous general without blinking an eye is a nightmare for him.
Therefore, Zilong's original suspicious plan actually had the opposite effect, which Zilong never expected.
"Report, marshal, Huanzhou envoy asks to see!"
Ahu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he originally had no intention of asking Huanzhou for help, because Fei Yetou Muzi, and his style of action, principles and personality and many other aspects basically did not match.
Moreover, Ahu obviously had a hunch that even if there was no Gao Aocao coming, there would be no force coveted, and Huanzhou City would be heavily armed, and it wouldn't be long before they had a firm foothold in Huanzhou, the first thing they would find would definitely be their own Shuozhou.
If you ask them for help, isn't that a plot with a tiger and a wolf into the house?
But now that the envoy from Huanzhou suddenly came, it was too incredible, and there seemed to be no contact between the two cities, what was the intention of the envoy......
"Please come up, don't say much, generals, let's see what he wants to do first!"
Not long after, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe walked into the main hall, looked at the generals who didn't know why, and smiled slightly: "Xianyu General Ahu, the contemptible people are here, especially to persuade them to surrender!" ”
No one thought that this person would be so straightforward and bluntly said the intention of persuasion, which was simply an insult to the guards of Shuozhou City, and immediately some people were angry and stood up.
"Did Hu Lu Luoyang and Fei Yetou get kicked in the head by the war horse? Now that Gao Aocao has divided his troops into two ways, attacking Huan and Shuo, do you still have the heart to persuade us to surrender in Huanzhou City?
What's more, although Huanzhou City has many generals, my Shuozhou City is not a coward who allows mermaids to flesh, if you want us to surrender, ask the meaning of Xiuli first! ”
That's right, the two states of Huanshuo are both flags of righteousness raised in response to the cultivation of the ceremony, which is a well-known thing, and it is also an important element of external propaganda during the uprising of the two states.
But in fact, Xianyu Ahu may have something to do with Xianyu Xiuli, and it is indeed subordinate to Xianyu Xiuli, but this Hulu Luoyang and Fei Yetou Muzi are more like standing on Xianyu Xiuli's shoulders, trying in vain to achieve their own merits.
Hearing the envoy's words, Xian Yu Ahu was also very angry, but he was forbearant by nature and did not act too impulsively, waved his hand to the angry general, and motioned for him to sit down.
"This friend, please tell the two generals that the situation in Shuozhou City is now critical, like fish on the chopping board, and in a short time, it may belong to Gao Aocao's name, at this time, what is the point of surrendering?"
Unexpectedly, the scribe smiled and said, "I think you have misunderstood, I am not here to be a lobbyist for General Hu Lu and General Fei Yetou!" ”
Ahu didn't know what he meant, since he was an envoy from Huanzhou, why wasn't he a lobbyist for Hulu Luoyang and Fei Yetou? It can't be Gao Aocao's lobbyist, right?
"I don't know what Your Excellency means, please make it clear."
The scribe smiled and said: "It was the Dugu Zilong Prison Army, who specially instructed me to greet General Ahu, if I don't think of any surprises, now Huanzhou City should have been broken by the Zilong Prison Army, and it will all belong to the Northern Expeditionary Army." ”
This, this news is too shocking.
How long has it been? Huanzhou City has changed hands again?
Looking at the envoy with a complicated expression, and with a suspicious look in his heart, Nuo Nuo asked: "Do you mean to say that General Dugu Zilong defeated 70,000 defenders of Huanzhou with 20,000 soldiers and horses?" ”
The scribe smiled, which is one of the reasons why he admired Zilong the most, not only full of miracles, but also kind-hearted, and hiding from the world, just going around a few times, making Huanzhou City in danger.
"This is not the point, Zilong Jianjun said, I have heard that General Ahu is kind by nature, and he thinks about the people a lot, and it is inevitable that the general's foot fee will also follow in the footsteps of the head herdman, Zilong Jianjun specially asked me to come here to persuade me to surrender, so that the people of Shuozhou will not suffer from the scourge of war!"
"Hmph, nonsense, is the 70,000 army in Huanzhou all decorations, and it was taken down by Dugu Xiaoer so quickly? Not to mention that Fei Yetou Muzi is brave, how could he be defeated in the hands of a child? ”
A general stood up angrily and reprimanded, but the scribe's face did not change.
Although Ahu also found this unbelievable, the scribe did not look like he was lying, and he became entangled for a moment.
"You said that Huanzhou City may now be under the banner of the Northern Expeditionary Army, is there any evidence?"
The scribe smiled, without much expression on his face, and said to Ahu without hesitation: "Because I am the advisor of Hulu Luoyang, Jing Chen!" ”
The generals were shocked, they were all familiar with the name Jing Chen, but was the person in front of them really Jing Chen? It's worth considering.
It turned out that this Jing Chen was the strategist beside Fei Yetou Muzi, when Zilong broke Fei Ye's head, he was captured by Fei Zhun, and when Zilong heard his identity, he did not hesitate to entrust him with the task of persuading him to surrender.
Thinking of Zilong's incredible trust in himself, Jing Chen's face couldn't help but show a smile of admiration.
"General Ahu, there is another hidden story in this matter, if the general agrees, Jing Chen is willing to solve the general's doubts!" (To be continued.) )
