753: You can't surrender without a fight
The Barbarian's Banner of the King!
Cheng Qing furrowed his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Gu Hongtai:
"Didn't you say that Agoura is at war with Yu Xian?"
Gu Hongtai's expression was as if he had been struck by thunder.
This is indeed what he said, but he deliberately said this news, everyone knows it!
If Agora is in Anding County......
"Jiang Ziji is Agoura!"
Gu Hongtai's eyes were red.
If he had known this, he would have really set fire to the Anding County Ya.
Who would have thought that the king of the grassland would take the pseudonym "Jiang Ziji", go around to the rear of Lanzhou City as a merchant, and cooperate with the old department of Prince Yuzhang, ready to easily pocket Anding County?
yes, who would have thought.
It was precisely because everyone could not guess that Agula would come to Anding County, but Agula would go deep into the northwest hinterland, and the other party's plan would be easily implemented.
If He Wan hadn't fallen ill, Cheng Qing would have taken the place of He Wan to escort the goods to Lanzhou, and Anding County would have been lost quietly.
What should Agoura do if he captures Anding County?
He can use Anding County as a stronghold, he can catch Xiao Yunting and Yu Xian off guard, or he can surround the army led by Xiao Yunting and Yu Xian and grind it slowly.
He can even lead the steppe cavalry and continue to penetrate deep into the hinterland of the Central Plains.
In short, it can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and has the upper hand.
Anding is an important town, and it is heavily guarded.
Qin'an County is really vulnerable in the face of the grassland cavalry.
No wonder "Jiang Ziji" has many expert guards around him, no wonder Cheng Qing and the others carried out a bluff assassination operation, which can scare "Jiang Ziji" to flee without carefully confirming the authenticity.
Jiang Ziji is Agoura's words, and these things make sense.
The son of a daughter can't sit down.
No matter how important Anding County is, it is not more important than the life of the king of the grassland, and when danger comes, of course Agula must ensure his own safety first.
When General Lu heard the conversation between Cheng Qing and Gu Hongtai, his legs and stomach twitched.
Was it actually Agoura himself who led his troops to attack the city?
General Lu knows how many pounds and taels he has, he is not the god of war, he can't beat Agoura!
"General?"
Cheng Qing shouted to him, "The general must not lose confidence, as long as the general holds up, reinforcements will definitely arrive!" ”
General Lu didn't believe it.
Gu Hongtai almost jumped up: "There will definitely be reinforcements, Agoura has come to Anding County, my family of Qianhu and King Ye will definitely find out that they have all fought with Agoura for more than a year, and the army commanded by Agoura is completely different from the army without Agoura!" ”
General Lu's mood did not change easily.
Gu Hongtai and Cheng Qing's assurances were fluttering.
Even if Yu Qianhu and King Ye could really find out that the barbarian troops in front of them were not commanded by Agoura, then they should seize the opportunity and try their best to exterminate the barbarian forces while the barbarian commander was away.
The strategic location of Anding County is indeed very important, but in the entire northwest region, it is not as good as Lanzhou City.
The loss of a stable county was completely within the acceptable range of the imperial court.
The more General Lu thought about it, the more discouraged he became.
Cheng Qing stared at General Lu, "General, whether there are reinforcements or not, you have to fight this battle, behind you is to stabilize the people, if you retreat, the barbarians will have no obstacles, and they will easily harvest human lives in the northwest." If we hold on, we still have hope, if we surrender without a fight...... You and I are the sinners of Dawei, and I am afraid that they will be left behind for 10,000 years! ”
The barbarians all came to the city, and General Lu was still wandering out of the world.
There is no escape from this battle.
Cheng Qing ordered people to carry all the barrels of fire oil to the city tower.
"This thing, Xu can help the general!"
General Lu bent down and sniffed it, and his spirits lifted slightly: "Is it fire oil?" ”
"Yes, it was the fire oil that the barbarians brought into the city, and it was too late to transport it away, but now it has become our help, isn't this God helping us!"
Cheng Qing's tone was excited, and General Lu was infected by her confidence, and when he thought about it, this was really the truth.
If "Jiang Ziji" had not revealed his whereabouts, how could there be a chance for General Lu to be discouraged now, and the people would have taken Anding County long ago.
Now Anding County has not fallen into the hands of the barbarians, and there is still the strength to fight!
Even if he loses, he is still a character who has fought with Agoura, and he has capital to brag in front of other imps when he goes to the Hades Palace.
General Lu corrected his mentality, became proactive, and passed several military orders in a row, so that everyone was ready to face the battle.
"Lord Cheng, I know a way out of the city, Lord Cheng might as well avoid it?"
General Lu kindly suggested, Cheng Qing shook his head: "Although Cheng is a civil servant, he is not a gutsless seed, he can hold it, Cheng will celebrate with the general, if he can't keep it...... Cheng's life is no more valuable than that of a general. ”
General Lu said hello a few times.
Cheng Qing's life must be precious, the champion of the six yuan and the first, Dawei is such a one.
They are also close to the new emperor.
Cheng Qing didn't run, so why didn't General Lu fight to the end?
Gu Hongtai even hugged his fist at General Lu: "Obey the general's dispatch and be willing to be a general's horse forward!" ”
Gu Hongtai had fought with the barbarians many times, and he felt that he had some understanding of Agoura's fighting style.
At this time, no one should have two hearts, we must fight to the end, put aside the interference, everyone will work together to defend Anding County!
Cheng Qing is not stupid, he must stand on the city wall and be afraid.
There's nothing she can't do if she's not here.
She ran away from the path out of the city, not to mention how General Lu would look at her, she herself looked down on herself.
And as soon as she runs, Anding County will probably really be over.
Qiu Sinan's group, if it was really Prince Yuzhang's old department, would definitely care about her life and death.
With her here, the gang didn't say that they jumped out to help, at least they wouldn't fall into the well and push Anding County into the abyss.
General Lu has to deal with an army that the barbarians put on the surface, and it is a visible enemy.
What Cheng Qing wants to stabilize is the calculation from "his own people" and hiding in the shadows.
The royal banner is getting closer and closer, and the barbarians are beginning to attack the city!
……
A private house somewhere in Anding County.
Qiu Sinan was surrounded by many people.
The strength of the sweat medicine has passed, Qiu Sinan has a clear mind and a clear speech, and he talked about the confrontation with Cheng Qing in detail, and when it comes to emotion, Qiu Sinan cried and laughed: "This is the blood of the first prince, His Royal Highness has the heart of a Ming Jun, and it is not in vain that you and I have been dormant for many years, waiting for Your Highness to grow up." ”
Speaking of the breakdown of Anding County, Cheng Qing wanted to apologize for his crime with death, and Qiu Sinan was even more anxious.
"We were wrong before, His Highness didn't agree with this plan, and we had to stop His Highness from looking for a short-term view, so that the barbarians couldn't really come in."
Some people echoed Qiu Sinan, some people were confused, and some people didn't say a word.
Qiu Sinan was anxious.
He always thought that everyone was like-minded companions, but now it seems that each has its own thoughts?
A middle-aged man shook his head: "Your Highness is still young and not doing things, and he is compassionate, but I don't know that once he succeeds, he has some decisions, so we have to do it for His Highness, and we have to carry the infamy and infamy, and it has nothing to do with His Highness." ”
