Chapter 525: Facing the Enemy
Shangguan Yu and Yan Chen led a thousand horsemen to Dongshan Mansion to help. About an hour later, they entered the city, and Tu Feng received them.
It turned out that the 100,000 army of this government was still about eighty miles away, and Tufeng's scouts also passed on information all the way.
Coming to the wall facing the officers and soldiers, Shangguan Yu said: "General Tu doesn't have to be anxious, it's okay to have me!" ”
Tu Feng sighed: "My life and death don't matter, I'm just worried about the comfort of the people in the city." ”
Eighty miles away, it takes about two hours to arrive, Shangguan Yu said: "You like this, general, order to go down, close all the city gates, prohibit anyone from entering and leaving the city, so that the people do not panic, and continue to do what they should do in normal times." Give me and Miss Yan, one of you will wear the clothes of your army, and we will go out of the city with you to meet the enemy. When the time comes, act on the opportune side. ”
"This ......"
"I know," Shangguan Yu said, "General Tu is worried that the army from the imperial court is not coming for you this time, if so, I will leave quietly with my people, and I will never cause you trouble." ”
Shangguan Yu said Tu Feng's concerns, and Tu Feng didn't say more, but looked at him gratefully.
The idea is certain, the 1,000 people brought by Shangguan Yu are waiting at the West Gate, and once the officers and soldiers have no malicious intentions, they will immediately go to the cottage.
Tu Feng found clothes that fit Shangguan Yu and the others, Yan Chen had his own armor and war horse, so he didn't need to prepare, he only wore the military ornaments of Tu Feng's defenders.
Shangguan Yu had his own equipment and was not suitable for wearing armor, so he only changed into the military uniform of the defenders.
Tu Feng was in front, Shangguan Yu and Yan Chen accompanied the left and right, as well as a dozen generals, with 10,000 people out of the city for ten miles to wait,
While waiting, Yan Chen said: "General Tu, I know that you are a loyal and courageous person, not like those who tend to be inflammatory, see the wind and turn the rudder, you can also see the current situation clearly, so I advise you to surrender to my Xia army." ”
Tu Feng pondered, and Shangguan Yu said: "Yan Chen, don't force him, let's see how good and evil the other party is, and then ask General Tu to decide." ”
Tu Feng didn't speak, just nodded.
After waiting for a while, the scout came to report that the imperial army was about to arrive, and Tu Feng ordered to go down and let the archers get ready, hold down the position, and wait for the incoming army.
It didn't take long to see that the wind and dust were flying, the officers and soldiers had arrived, and they stopped a stone's throw away, with a general at the head and a dozen deputy generals on the left and right lined up.
Tu Feng said: "Sure enough, I guessed correctly. ”
"What's wrong?" Shangguan Yu asked.
Tu Feng said: "The commander of the army is the general Sandstorm. ”
"Sandstorm?" Shangguan said, this name is quite domineering, "How is this person?" ”
Tufeng and Cableway, "The reputation is extremely poor." ”
Shangguan Yu sneered: "It seems that the person who came is not good." ”
As he was talking, the other party rode over, stopped fifty meters away, and shouted: "General Tu, I was sent by the general to pass the word: Tu Feng conspired against him, the general was ordered to encircle and suppress, Tu Feng quickly disarmed and surrendered, and returned to Beijing to hear it!" ”
Tu Feng said softly: "It's really not good." ”
Shangguan Yu asked, "What are you going to do?" Is it surrender or resistance? ”
Tu Feng said: "Shangguan Yu hero, I won't tell you, if I am alone, I will definitely surrender, even if I betray the death penalty, I am not afraid, but I have a mother, a wife and children, once I surrender, hum ......"
"What will happen?" Shangguan Yu asked.
"All over the house," Tu Feng said these four words very calmly.
"That ......"
Tu Feng said: "I'm not afraid of death, but I can't let my family die with me!" ”
Yan Chen said: "General Tu, then what are you hesitating about?" Is it the other way around? ”
Tu Feng made up his mind and said, "It's the opposite." ”
Then he turned to the deputy general next to him and said: "Pass the order, if you don't rebel today, you will definitely die, if you rebel today, you will survive in a desperate situation, so we will rebel." ”
The adjutant general began to give orders, and Tu Feng said to the herald in front of him: "Go back and tell your commander, if you want me Tu Feng to surrender, first ask me if I agree with the big knife in my hand!" ”
The herald understood his intentions and rode back.
Shangguan Yu asked, "General Tu, do you think the other party will fight alone or attack directly?" ”
Tu Feng said: "When the number of troops is about the same, they will fight first, and if they win, they will attack again, and their morale will be greatly increased." If there is a large disparity in forces, in most cases, the stronger side will attack directly, rather than skipping the heads-up link. Shangguan Hero has already made a name for himself, and the opponent's forces are far more powerful than ours, so I guess they will attack directly. ”
Shangguan Yu nodded and said, "I understand, he attacks directly, and I'm not afraid." ”
As soon as the words fell, the other party's herald was thrown over, and everyone wondered, not knowing what the other party was going to do.
But he said that after the herald came over, he said, "Which of you is Shangguan Yu?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, Shangguan Yu couldn't imagine that he would be so famous, and the other party actually asked to see him by name. He thought about hiding his identity, afraid that the other party would know that he was there and scared away, and he didn't expect the other party to challenge him now.
Since this is the case, Shangguan Yu couldn't hide it, so he took two steps forward on his horse, and said like the ancients: "The one who is in Shangguan Yu is the one." ”
The herald said, "My commander wants to challenge you. ”
Shangguan Yu said: "Go back and be with your boss, I accept his challenge." ”
Then he turned around and said, "General Tu, wait for me to cut the sandstorm later, and then attack after seeing my gestures." ”
"Yes!"
Shangguan Yu walked forward with the reins, and after a while, he saw the other party's commander, and the general Sandstorm also walked out. When the two gathered for more than ten meters, Shangguan Yu could clearly feel the consternation on the other party's face.
I only heard Sandstorm laugh wildly and said: "Haha, I thought it was a ruthless character with three heads and six arms, isn't this just a stinky child?" ”
Shangguan Yu just smiled, and it is true that he has just turned eighteen years old, and he is not angry at the other party scolding him for being a yellow-haired boy.
Shangguan Yu smiled: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Come on! ”
Sandstorm was not in a hurry, but said: "You might as well take refuge in the imperial court, I will ensure that you want to be prosperous and rich, how about it?" Consider considering. ”
"I think you might as well cut off your hands," Shangguan Yu said with a smile, "I can spare you from dying." ”
"You ......"
"What are you? Do you want to fight? ”
"Of course we're going to fight," Sandstorm changed his anger and smiled again, "Come on, boy!" ”
Shangguan Yu pulled out the poisonous dragon sword and was about to rush forward.
"Hey, wait a minute," Sandstorm said suddenly, "I have an itchy neck, you wait for me to scratch it." ”
"You're so troublesome," Shangguan Yu withdrew his sword and held it in both hands, thinking to himself that I would see what you wanted to do.
