Chapter 312: Into the Tiger's Den

When Deng Yue heard this, he stroked his beard and said: "Okay, this plan is very good, even if the rebels are not fooled, our army will not lose anything, General Hua can quickly send a messenger, and the old man will wait for good news in the big tent." ā€

"Since Deng Tingshi also thinks it is feasible, then I will go back and prepare." After Hua An finished speaking, he and Wang San left Deng Yue's big tent and strode back to their Chinese army big tent.

"Big brother, leave the task of envoy to Xupu City to me! I'm going to get it done. As soon as he walked out of Deng Yue's big tent, Wang San asked Hua'an for his life.

Hua An shook his head and said: "No, you are my right-hand man, how can you enter the tiger's den, those rebels are all tigers and wolves, in case you have a mistake, the eldest brother is at peace in his heart." ā€

"Big brother, if you don't enter the tiger's den, if you send a colonel, the rebels will definitely feel that our army deliberately despises it, and there is no sincerity to surrender at all, and the big brother's plan will not be implemented, in order to quell the rebellion, big brother, you just let me go!" Wang San asked again.

Hua An frowned and hesitated: "What you said makes sense, but it is too dangerous to go to Xupu City, and the eldest brother has no bottom in his heart!" ā€

Wang San saw that Hua An was a little relieved, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, don't worry, with my sharp mouth, I will definitely make the rebels dare not act rashly, and I will come back safely." ā€

"Since you insist on doing so, then you should go to Xupu City in person! Remember, be careful. Hua'an finally agreed to Wang San.

"Big brother, I will definitely live up to my mission." After Wang San finished speaking, he led ten personal soldiers and rode his horse towards Xupu City.

Looking at the back of Wang San's departure, Hua An secretly prayed in his heart, praying that Wang San could return safely.

In Xupu City, the news that the left and right flanks of the army had been completely annihilated had completely spread throughout the city, and the 20,000 soldiers of the rebel army fell into deep fear.

In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, the rebel commander convened the generals of various departments to discuss the next step of the battle, and all the generals participated in the discussion in the rebel commander's Chinese army tent.

The opinions of the generals of the various ministries were very different on whether to hold or retreat, and the discussion for most of the day did not yield any results, but at least no one mentioned surrender.

"General, a person outside the city who claims to be the deputy general of the Northern Expeditionary Army, asks to meet the general." A pro-soldier entered the account and reported.

"Oh, at this juncture, what will the Jin army do when it sends an envoy here?" The rebel commander muttered to himself.

"General, don't care what he wants, catch him and kill him directly, and use his head to pay tribute to the dead soldiers on the left and right flanks of our army." One of the generals yelled.

"Yes, kill him, kill him." The rebel generals shouted together.

The rebel commander frowned and said, "Shut up, shut up, the so-called two countries don't come to each other, what are you all shouting about, what kind of system do you become." ā€

"General, it's better to let the envoys of the Jin Kingdom come in and see what tricks they have to play." Said another rebel general.

The rebel commander stroked his beard and said loudly: "Order, bring the envoy of the Jin army to the big tent, and the three hundred sword and axe men of the battalion will line up in four teams to welcome the envoy of the Jin country." ā€

"Yes, General." The rebels themselves answered and went to give the order.

Outside the north gate of Xupu City, Wang San and ten personal soldiers waited under the city for a long time, and came over for two minutes before putting down a row of hanging ladders on the city wall.

At this time, the two armies were fighting, and it was reasonable for the defenders of Xupu City to be cautious, and Wang San did not care about anything, but took two of his own soldiers up to the city wall.

After going up to the city wall, Wang San looked left and right, and found that the rebels' defense was really tight, and it would not be easy for the Jin army to succeed if they forcibly attacked the city, even if they were lucky enough to break through Xupu City, there would be many soldiers killed in battle.

"The general's tent is over there, messenger please." The rebel colonel said and pointed in the direction of the city.

Hua An nodded, followed behind the rebel colonel with two personal soldiers, and walked towards the rebel general's Chinese army tent, along the way, he constantly observed the various buildings in the city and the deployment of the rebels in the city, in order to grasp the situation of the rebels as much as possible.

"In front is the general's tent, messenger, please." The rebel colonel bowed.

Wang San took a closer look, and in front of the huge tent in front of him, three hundred burly sword and axe men were lining up in four rows to greet him.

The rebels made such a show, naturally showing off their strength, so as to deter the envoys of the Jin army, how could Wang San not know the little tricks of the rebels, only to see that he asked two entourages to wait here, while he himself walked into the big tent with his head held high, his face was as usual, and he had no fear at all.

Seeing Wang San calmly walk into the big tent, the rebel generals in the big tent all glared at Wang San angrily, as if they had a deep hatred with Wang San.

Wang San looked at the old general sitting on the throne, and after a while, he clasped his fists and said, "General." ā€

Seeing that the envoy of the Jin army called himself a general, and the rebel commander was a little embarrassed, he nodded and said, "The envoy of the Jin army is coming, what is the so-called matter!" ā€

Wang San smiled slightly and said softly: "I have come to save the lives of 20,000 soldiers in Xupu City." ā€

"Fart, your Jin army attacked and killed 60,000 troops on the left and right wings of our army last night, you will be so kind."

"General, don't listen to him, it's better to kill him and sacrifice the flag."

"Yes, kill him, kill him."

There was a commotion in the rebels' tent.

Wang San's face was as usual, without the slightest look of fear.

When the rebel commander saw this, he was secretly surprised in his heart, and then threatened: "Jin envoy when all the soldiers of my army are three-year-old dolls, the swords and axes outside the general's tent are all freshly sharpened, and I was about to test whether they are sharp or not, and the Jin envoy came." ā€

Seeing that the rebel general was scaring himself, Wang San smiled slightly and said loudly: "This envoy has thick skin and is not afraid of swords and axes, but the general and the 20,000 horses under his command will not see the sun tomorrow." ā€

"Hahaha! The Jin envoy breathed a big sigh, my Xupu City is well defended, how can your Jin army break through the city in one day. The rebel commander laughed and rebuked.

"Hahahaha! How is the combat power of the left and right flanks of the general, a full 60,000 army, and it will be wiped out in one night. Wang San shouted with a smile and stepped forward a few steps to approach the rebel commander.

As soon as the rebel commander heard that the left and right wings were annihilated, his whole body trembled involuntarily, and his heart was extremely frightened and sad, and most of the generals in the big tent were also frightened by Wang San's momentum and stopped talking.

"What is the purpose of the envoy here, you might as well say it directly." The rebel commander forced his mind and asked.

"On the orders of the Lord, I have come to persuade you to surrender." Wang San said bluntly.

"What, let's surrender."

"Hmph, Lao Tzu will never surrender."

"The battle hasn't been fought yet, how can you surrender lightly?"

The rebel generals in the big tent were clamoring again.

The rebel general squinted, stared at Wang San, and said: "The rout of the armies on the left and right wings is caused by your sneak attack. ā€

Wang San glanced at the rebel generals around him with disdain, and said softly: "The layout of the city defense is not bad, and the city is also strong, but how can this withstand the attack of my 120,000 elite divisions of the Great Jin, this envoy can assert that within one day, Xupu City will be broken." ā€

As soon as the rebel commander heard that there were 120,000 Jin troops, his heart suddenly shook violently, which was more than he estimated, and he had a trace of doubt, but when he thought that all the 60,000 horses on the left and right wings were annihilated, his doubts in his heart weakened a lot, and he even began to believe what Wang San said.

"Why, your Jin army really has 120,000, don't have so many soldiers and horses!" The rebel commander probed.

When Wang Sanyi heard this, he stretched out his finger and gestured: "Why not, our Northern Expeditionary Army is 30,000, Guangzhou Army is 40,000 horses, Jiaozhou Army is 10,000, Jiangzhou reinforcements are 40,000, a total of 120,000." ā€

"What, the Jin army really has 120,000 horses."

"Maybe it's true, if it weren't for that, the left and right flanks of our army would not have been completely annihilated."

"If the Jin army really has 120,000, it will be really difficult for our army to hold on! It is better to withdraw troops. ā€

The rebel generals gathered together and discussed.

The rebel commander oozed a bead of sweat on his forehead, paused, and said: "Even if your Jin army has 120,000 people, but my Xupu City is well defended, if you want to attack the city, you will not die 20,000 or 30,000, but I am afraid that you will not be able to attack it, and it is even more nonsense to break the city within one day." ā€

Wang San smiled slyly at the corner of his mouth, and said: "The general's words are ridiculous, how can my Great Jin Wang Shi attack the city with human lives, the Jiangzhou army that came to support this time has brought thousands of skilled craftsmen, and eighteen vehicles can be built in half a day." Lv Gongche's hundreds of thunderbolts, the general can know, the power of hundreds of thunderbolt salvos, the overwhelming thunderbolts will destroy all the soldiers defending the city, Lv Gongche is even more powerful, as long as it is pushed to the bottom of the city, the soldiers can climb the city wall along the ladder in the car, and the body of the car is wrapped with wooden planks and cowhides, and the rolling wood and stones are not broken, and the fire is difficult to burn, only with these two weapons, it is easy to capture Xupu City, and my siege weapons of the Great Jin Dynasty are not only these two. ā€

When the rebel generals and their subordinates heard Wang San's words, they all looked at each other, and the confidence of the generals in holding the city began to waver.

"The envoy will go out of the tent first to rest for a while, and let me discuss with the generals." The rebel commander said and glanced at the soldiers next to him.

"Jin envoy, please." The soldier bowed and bent over.

Wang San straightened his clothes and strode out of the Chinese army's tent.

After Wang San left the big tent, the rebel generals and his generals discussed, among the generals, there were not many who were willing to continue to hold on to the city, and there were many who were willing to surrender, of course, most of the generals were thinking of retreating.

The rebel general was at a loss, he was unwilling to surrender, and he didn't want his generals to die in vain, he planned to retreat, but the main force of the Jin army was already stationed in the northeast of the city less than ten miles, retreating at this time, it was easy to be caught up by the Jin army, so as to suffer heavy losses.

"General, it's better for us to pretend to agree to surrender, deceive the trust of the Jin army, and then withdraw immediately." A ministry will build a yƬ road.
