Chapter 321: Zhang Wenyuan's Earthquake Before Qin (8)
Another day, the armies of the two sides seemed to have been negotiated.
On the one hand, it was a tentative attack, and the Han army withdrew early before more than 1,000 casualties; On one side is the former Qin soldiers who unintentionally inserted willows but had long knives stained with blood, and today's atmosphere is a little unusual.
In the Taishou Mansion in the former Qin Jinmian City, there are all the civil and military generals in power, and today, they are going to withdraw!
"Retreat? I don't agree~! Jincheng City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the only gate of Jincheng County, if Jinmen is discarded, then it is equivalent to abandoning the six cities and thirteen counties behind, who can afford this loss! ”
After hearing the news of Ma Chi's retreat made public, the first thing to rise up was the opposition of Peli, the former defender of Jinmencheng City. It can't be said that it is selfish or not, in his opinion, the main source of taxation in Jincheng County depends on these six cities and thirteen counties, if it is lost, then what will they eat and drink in the future? What else is there to fight with the Han army?
"Yes, General. Most of my former Qin's taxes came from these cities, are you thinking about it? ”
With one person standing up and vehemently opposing, there is a second. This time, it was Zhang Wen, the Taishou of Jinmian City, who stood up to speak, and his tone of voice was much more tactful than that of Peli. However, in the final analysis, like Paley, he did not agree to abandon the city of Jinmian.
"Yes, General. My Jinmyanmar City not only pays a lot of taxes, but also is a military town, how can it be said that it will be discarded? What's more, we still have an army of 150,000 isn't ~"
"General, think twice before you act~"
……
Seeing that the first two crab eaters were not caught by the crab's anger, suddenly the group of people behind jumped out and began to make their own remarks. Unlike the Taishou and the guards in Jinma, who are all from other places, most of the middle and high-level officials in Jinmyanmar are locals. Their power is rooted here, they grow here, how can they discard it lightly?
If they are discarded, then they will be beaten back to their prototypes in an instant, and they will live the life of civilians. How can they, who have been officials and generals for generations, endure this?
Therefore, for the sake of today's happy life, they even have some more radical words. As for the Imperial City, the Emperor? What does it have to do with them? As long as there are these 150,000 troops to protect their vested interests, then they will not have any other ideas.
As soon as you say it, the local snakes of Jinmima began to salivate hard to persuade the general Ma Chi to change his mind.
However, in the Taishou Mansion for a while, this argument in favor of staying behind prevailed. Even if there were a few people who were afraid of the Han army and wanted to escape, they were immediately gambled and speechless~
……
"Are you done?"
Seeing that the chaotic sound in the hall finally slowly stopped, Ma Chi, the general who was there as a wooden man, finally asked softly.
"Yes, General, please think twice~"
In the end, there was still a 'respectable' clan elder who stood up in the eyes of everyone's common hope, and said after saluting the general Ma Chi.
"When it's over, let's get ready to pack~! Tonight, the army set out on time. After that, the city was closed for three days. After three days, if you don't leave, you can choose to go~"
After pulling out the beloved sword at his waist and blowing the sharp blade with his mouth, Ma Chi did not have any change in his expression, but said indifferently. At this moment, he gave the people below the feeling that the discussion just now in which they were elated and expressed their opinions was like a fart~
"Yes, huh? This ......"
When the clan elder saw Ma Chi's indifferent expression, he thought that he couldn't bear the pressure of everyone and agreed, but he was stunned when he turned out to be there. The relationship is just a fart that people say by themselves, and people are still stubborn and ready to leave.
And the clan elder, who had the heart to say a few more words, saw Ma Chi's sharp and dazzling sword, smashed his lips, and sat down silently. The older you are, the more demonic you are, but the older you get, the more afraid you are of death! Especially the 'old people' who are used to enjoying them~
"Again, tonight, set off on time! If you don't come, you'd better not disturb me in the city for three days, or else you will be punished for collaborating with the enemy and treason in wartime!" ”
Ma Chi, who had inserted the sword back into its scabbard, stood up and repeated what he had just said. That serious look is really telling everyone, don't play with fire, otherwise I will slaughter your whole family without a word!
"Okay, let's go home and pack our things~"
Ma Chi, who waved his hand at everyone, strode out of the Taishou Mansion and went to the barracks, he didn't want to endure the extravagant air here for a while!
Moreover, he can't stand these wealthy families who lie on the body of the kingdom on weekdays to absorb nutrients, but they don't know how to serve the motherland when the national disaster is at the head! If Wang Meng hadn't advised him not to be too rigid and not rush to kill them all and leak the news, with his style, he would definitely have finished looting the big households and then slaughtered them all! Joke, the kingdom raised you for this time!
However, these wealthy families in Jinmyanmar City are intertwined, and they can't be wiped out at all for a while, and if they do it lightly, the movement is too big, and the Han army will be in trouble if they know about it. Therefore, he left them a way to live in his horse gallop words, that is, to hold on for another three days, once the three days pass, it doesn't matter if you escape or surrender to the Han army~
And the 'heroes' in the hall also understood Ma Chi's words. The 'shrewd' they have made their own little calculations, wanting to calculate whether it is better to abandon most of the family property and run away with the army, or to stay and wait for the Han army to pay a large amount of 'money' after Jincheng in order to survive. At this moment, the little abacus in their hearts is all 'Bu Da Bu Da' non-stop calculations.
……
"Bang~"
Ma Chi, who had just returned to his big tent in the barracks, slapped his copywriting in a hurry with a palm. It's so helpless, this group of moths in Jinmyanmar City, I can only watch them run rampant and can't do anything, is I too incompetent?
Think about it since he went out to exterminate the bandit armies in various places, he encountered the Han army and lost consecutive battles, is he a general?
The three armies are incompetent, and are the generals also incompetent? Otherwise, how could the situation be like this?
"Alas, after I go back, I will submit my resignation to His Majesty~"
The frustrated Ma Chi made a very willing decision.
However, at present, it is necessary to bring back the retreating 100,000 elite soldiers in their entirety and hand them over to His Majesty! This is not a presumptuous person of the former Qin, a general of the former Qin! (To be continued.) )
