Chapter 240: Follow the Flow
Half an hour later, the city lord Guo Ying came to the south city gate, looked ahead, and suddenly felt cold in his heart. I originally listened to the soldiers' reports, but I still didn't believe them. But seeing tens of thousands of cavalry with his own eyes, waiting for the battle, motionless, he couldn't help frowning.
He saw the big banner of the king, swaying slightly in the early morning breeze, and his heart was weighing the situation behind him.
He didn't expect that the plan established with Guo Shuming to obey the unified command first, cross the sea in concealment, introduce enemy soldiers in Fucheng, and disrupt Anxi had not yet been implemented, and Wang Ziyu's army would be pressed to the doorstep.
It can be seen that this prince Yu's foresight is still very powerful. No wonder Your Majesty uses such a young guy. With this reaction speed, it is definitely much more powerful than many old foxes.
It's just that now it's besieged, is this gate open or not? Resistance or surrender?
If you talk about surrender, you can't actually say it, on the face, I, Guo Ying, still listen to the command. However, if it is really opened, then my Guo Ying's city lord will be upside down. Whether this life can be saved is still unknown.
If there is resistance, apparently, a bit of a joke. There are tens of thousands of people, not only in front of them, but also in the future. This, more of a hint. There is no way out of confrontation.
Since the army of 10,000 people has been deployed against Tuozhong, what about Zhang Ye?
Of the 30,000 horsemen, only 10,000 were sent to me, but what about the 20,000? Won't it all be prepared for Zhang Ye?
As soon as he thought of Zhang Ye's fate, which was similar to Tuozhong's, or even more pessimistic, his cold sweat fell, although the summer morning was relatively cool.
"Yue Busheng, tell me, are we fighting, or are we surrendering?" Guo Ying asked in a deep voice.
"This ...... City lord, we didn't take the initiative to fight against the hussar general, we have already expressed our surrender in front of us, and we will come according to the rules of Anxi. Therefore, there is no question of surrender, and now it is a question of whether to fight or not. "Yue Busheng is the captain of this city gate.
"Oh, yes. There is no drop. Then you say, to fight or not to fight? Now, Zhang Ye and we may be in a similar situation, or even worse. There will be no reinforcements. ”
"That...... Castle Lord, can I tell the truth? Yue Busheng said in a trembling voice.
"Yes."
"The next family, young and old, is in the city. The lord of the castle is too, and so are the soldiers. If we fight, we have no hope of winning. Once the city is broken, it will be a disaster for the families behind us.
And ......"
"And what? Straight to the point, don't spit out. Now that it's time, what are you hesitating about......" Guo Ying frowned slightly.
"General Guo Deyu has been transferred to the governor of Yuezhou, and the possibility of coming back is almost zero, and it is really unwise for us to do a trapped beast fight.
I really want to repay them, if he is downcast in the future, we can help his family, and there is no need to go against the Daluo Empire. ”
"Grandma's, you have a lot of eyes." Guo Ying said and kicked Yue Busheng in the ass. Although it doesn't hurt too hard, it hurts enough to wear small combat boots.
Yue Busheng didn't hide, and silently endured this kick. If Guo Ying made the decision to fight, he planned to rebel, directly arrested Guo Ying, opened the city gate, and greeted the general.
Guo Ying looked at the tens of thousands of cavalry in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and then said jokingly: "Your grandmother's, although she has no bones, she is right." Open the gates! ”
"Yes!" When Yue Busheng heard this, he immediately became excited.
"Open the gates! Open the gates! Open the gates! The guy shouted, and his voice was so loud that he was afraid that the soldier would not be able to hear clearly when he fell asleep. Even the iron cavalry who were shot away heard it.
The gates creaked open with a heavy sound.
Tens of thousands of people saw it, just waiting for Wang Ziyu's order.
Wang Ziyu was also closing his eyes and recuperating, waiting for the signal from Yang Jiye's side, but he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was the opening of the city gate.
At this moment, to enter or not to enter? If you enter the city, in the narrow passages, the iron cavalry has no advantage. The Iron Knight's advantage is speed, and the ability to traverse the bow and arrow rain.
But the premise is that there is a vast world in front of you, and you can let the iron horse gallop. Once the Iron Rider struggles with a certain location, the advantage becomes a disadvantage.
"City Lord, they haven't moved, are they afraid that we will attack them?"
"Yes, it should be. On my command, the whole army laid down their arms and welcomed the general into the city with their bare hands. ”
"Lay down your arms and welcome the general into the city with your bare hands."
At the sound of the order, the soldiers put all their weapons at their feet and gathered towards the city gate. Once they are gone, they are like the masses eating melons.
Guo Ying also laid down his weapons and stood at the gate of the city, waiting for Wang Ziyu's army to enter the city.
"The front army is in the city! The rear army is on standby! ”
Wang Ziyu ordered.
This order is a well-founded and relatively safe order. Once Guo Ying really cheats and ambushes him at the city gate, the men and horses behind him will not be lost.
Just leaving the rear army is enough to deter the whole city and make the other party dare not act rashly.
After Wang Ziyu entered the city, Guo Ying quickly ran to Wang Ziyu's horse and knelt down on one knee: "Subordinates see the general." Welcome late, and ask the general for forgiveness! ”
"If you are willing to open the city gate, you are a family, what a crime! City Lord Guo, please arrange for my ten thousand people to have breakfast, and whatever your soldiers eat, they can eat. ”
"Yes! Great General. Yue Busheng, you will supervise this matter. It's hard to kill the head! ”
Yue Busheng took the order.
"General, please go to the City Lord's Mansion to speak. It's time for breakfast, and I'll ask the cook in the City Lord's Mansion to prepare some breakfast for the general and his brothers. ”
"City Lord Guo, I'm tired."
Wang Ziyu followed Guo Ying, took Ma Zhao and others, and entered the city lord's mansion. Yang Jiye and Ghost Xiaoqi also came and converged. As soon as Guo Ying saw these two, dressed in the clothes of soldiers in the city, he thought to himself, Grandma's, fortunately, there was no resistance.
If I resisted, these two, looking like they were all masters, blended in with the soldiers, and suddenly my head moved, and I couldn't find my shoulder to lean on when I cried.
"City Lord Guo, since Ben Jiang is here with a large army, it means that everything about you is under the control of Ben General. Ben will only need you to have an attitude, if the attitude is good enough, you still have your official position. However, he can no longer serve as the lord of Tuozhong City. ”
Prince Yu said in a deep voice, his eyes staring at City Lord Guo.
Although this is the city lord's mansion, Guo Ying respectfully let Wang Ziyu sit in the master's seat, and he just stood on the side. Now, he is a sinner, where dare to sit.
Hearing this, Guo Ying hurriedly knelt down on one knee.
"General, my subordinates were confused for a while and did something wrong, and I ask the general to forgive me. But there is a dispatch, and it is only arranged by the great general. ”
"So, today you will go with me to Anxi, and you will be your deputy to General Bufang. How about you wait until you have completed the purchase of the Anxi Mansion and then move your family there? ”
"Subordinates can't ask for it, they can't ask for it. Thank you for the grace of the general who does not sin and does not kill! ”
Guo Ying is very grateful.
And so it was settled.
After breakfast, Wang Ziyu asked Guo Ying to summon all the four captains over. Subsequently, Wang Ziyu asked Guo Ying to recommend one of the four captains to serve as the lord of the city.
Guo Ying hesitated for a moment, but still recommended Yue Busheng. Although the other three also kept stretching their necks, implying that Guo Ying chose him.
"Why me?" Yue Busheng was puzzled.
