Seeing this guy shaking his head with an arrogant and contemptuous look, Xining felt a little poked. It's as if he didn't lose the pass.

If Linguan is not lost, the Xiongnu will not besiege Linyi County.

With 5,000 troops, relying on a strong city, but unable to withstand 15,000 Hun soldiers, he is really capable.

Compared with other border passes, Linguan is poor and broken, and it is far away from the capital. Linyi County has changed hands several times, and it is already a mixed land of Han and Hungarian, and sometimes robbing Linyi County is also robbing its own people. That's why the defenders sent such a mediocre talent.

County Magistrate Zhou sat on the ground, these really can't get out.

Xining just wanted to continue the question just now, that is, what did General Zhang plan to do next, and someone came in to report.

It was the Huns who sent people.

"Kill" General Zhang waved his arm majestically.

The "order" messenger saluted, but did not leave immediately.

The person next to him hurriedly dissuaded: "The two countries are fighting and don't kill the envoys, the general should call people in and listen to something." ”

General Zhang seemed to think for a moment before he spoke: "Let people in." ”

Xining rolled her eyes secretly, she was really good at acting, and even the little soldiers knew their temper. Otherwise, they would have gone out a long time ago, tied people up, "clicked" a knife, hung people's heads at the city gates, and threw corpses off the city walls to boost the army's prestige.

What two countries are at war and do not kill the envoys, and there are many killings in all dynasties, and I have not seen anything unkind. It's going to be called, so it's polite

The Huns came, wearing a tapered pointed felt hat and a short placket and a beard suit, and swaggered in. It's like the king of heaven Lao Tzu is the first, but there is no one in his eyes.

I didn't even salute, I just put my hands on my waist, and said with my head held high, although there were a few words in Chinese, but I was still quite fluent: "My noble khan said that if you open the city gate early tomorrow morning, we will only ask for money and not take people's lives." Otherwise, an army of 30,000 will come soon, and you will not be left with any armor. ”

As soon as he heard the 30,000 army, General Zhang's body trembled. The voice was not as tough as it was just now: "I know, let's go back first, let me think about it." ”

Cut, sure enough, it was a soft-footed shrimp

After the Huns glanced at it with disdain, they turned around and were about to leave, when they heard a crisp voice like a yellow warbler behind him: "Take it for the county lord"

Four dead soldiers, dressed as house slaves, immediately stepped forward.

The "bold" Huns came to be shocked, subconsciously resisted, and then fought.

When the soldiers in the tent saw it, they were already angry, and they took advantage of this time to go up to help. In a few clicks, the Hun envoy and the two retinues behind him were arrested.

"Dare to tie Lao Tzu, wait for the Khan's soldiers and horses" Before he finished speaking, his knee hurt and he knelt down.

"Kneel down and be honest," the dead man kicked the Hun envoy so much that he had to kneel.

Xining slowly stood up, let's stand up, and if I knelt and sat like this again, my feet were numb.

Lai Envoy raised his head hard, and saw a little girl who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and suddenly her mouth was not dry: "Stinky girl, when the city is broken, the lord will kill you yellow-haired girl."

Xining coldly ordered: "Palm mouth." ”

The dead man stood in front, opened his arms, and slapped them with a crackling slap.

More than a dozen slaps were slapped, and the beatings were so that the corners of the mouth cracked and two teeth fell out.

But the county lord of Changning didn't stop, just stood there and watched. A noble and compelling body, like a goddess who is inviolable.

The soldiers in the tent saw that they were relieved, they should have done this a long time ago.

The envoy had to beg for mercy: "Spare your life, spare your life"

"Stop" After Xining stopped, he said unhurriedly: "I am the daughter of the king of Qinling and the princess of Changping County, since the Huns are stubborn and do not know etiquette, then the county lord will teach you well, what is etiquette." You are ignorant and ignorant of the county lord's clothing, and you are not to blame. But as an envoy, when he enters the tent, he does not bow and is arrogant and rude, which is unbearable. ”

When encountering such a hard-boned royal nobleman, he can only be soft, otherwise he will really kill him.

came to make his mouth full of blood, his mouth was swollen like a sausage, bruised, and begged for mercy vaguely: "It's a small blindness, it's a small fault, the county princess has a lot, beg the county lord not to kill"

Hehe, begging for mercy like this, originally thought that the Huns were all jackals who were not afraid of death.

Xining turned to General Zhang: "The envoy sent by the Xiongnu is to see General Zhang, and now the county lord has injured him, and the general has any objections."

General Zhang was still a little stunned, but quickly came back to his senses, after all, he had seen the big scene, and replied: "This person neglects the county lord, the county lord maintains the prestige of the country, and any disposal is appropriate." ”

The corners of Xining's mouth hooked: "How does General Zhang plan to defend to the death, or open the city gate tomorrow and give a letter while the envoy is still there, otherwise what is the use of leaving him?"

The envoy's eyes widened suddenly, and he still wanted to kill him Originally, I thought that these Han soldiers were soft-footed shrimp, but I didn't expect to kill a county princess with such a big temper halfway. His eyes immediately turned to General Zhang, and now his life and death depend on whether he plans to open the city gate and surrender.

If you don't plan to surrender, then kill him. Kill the envoy and know the answer without asking.

In order to protect himself, the envoy hurriedly said: "If General Zhang is willing to open the city gate, our army can retreat five miles, get out of the way, and let General Zhang's soldiers and horses go." ”

County Magistrate Zhou's eyes lit up, and then dimmed. reminded: "General Zhang, the Huns are cunning and untrustworthy, so they can't be easily trusted." ”

General Zhang was silent for a while, and then said, "Let me think about this matter again." ”

"Why should General Zhang think about it." A smile hung on the corner of Xining's mouth: "It's not difficult to choose, or choose to defend until reinforcements arrive." Either choose to believe them, open the city gates, ignore the people of the city, lead the troops to retreat, join the reinforcements, and counterattack in one fell swoop. ”

General Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up: "What the county lord said is extremely true, and retreating is the best policy." ”

Xining secretly sneered, what is the best strategy, from the beginning, he planned to save his life, otherwise Linguan would not have been lost so quickly.

General Zhang also looked scheming: "The Han and Hungarians in Linyi County are mixed, and they have been robbed many times. In the past, the city was never slaughtered. ”

There is no slaughter of the city, as long as you don't resist, you won't kill. When leaving, some young and strong men were picked out and enslaved, and the trustee could also use the money to redeem the people.

But the owner is different, as the county lord, he will definitely be taken away. The owner could not bear the humiliation in the future, hung the beams of the house, and broke it by himself.

"What General Zhang means, is it right to open the city gate" Xining walked slowly towards General Zhang, and his voice softened: "I was really wronged just now, but the county lord has a bad temper, and I don't know if I was injured." ”

The dead soldiers in the tent were stunned, and the soldiers suddenly felt great humiliation. A straw bag general is like this, but he didn't expect the county lord to be a traitor to save his life, see the wind and rudder, and succumb to the country.

Along with the humiliation, a deep despair arose, and this battle really could not be fought, and it could not be won.
