Chapter 258, Harem Deliberations

Just as Yang Yingjie and the black-robed old man chased to the moat outside the city, they stopped the pursuit, because the two of them saw that the opposite side of the bridge was full of soldiers.

Shi Zecheng and Fang Yu rode war horses and soldiers from behind, and they were dumbfounded when they saw the scene, they never expected that more than 50,000 soldiers would be here, and when they came back, they didn't get any news.

I saw Xu Hu at the other end of the bridge, carrying a long knife, sitting upright and shouting: "Listen to the soldiers on the other side, the traitors Shi Zecheng and Fang Yu are collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, forming a party and rebelling, plotting to usurp the throne, and murdering the king, their crimes are heinous.

After Xu Hu's shout, the sound of weapons landing behind Shi Zecheng and Fang Yu sounded one after another, and they fell to their knees, Fang Yu dismounted and shouted: "Don't put down your weapons, hold the city bridge, I am the king, I am the king,...... But at this time, there were still a few people who dared to listen to his orders.

Xu Hu shouted: "The king has already seen through your conspiracy, and when he was about to go out of Panyu with his guards, the king who stayed in the palace was just a disciple of the envoy of the Qin State pretending, in order to see how you rebelled!"

At this time, Lu Zhe had already walked to the carriage guarded by the guards, knelt down and said, "Erchen has come to greet his father!"

Lu Jia got out of the carriage, helped Lu Zhe up and said, "Zhe'er is suffering, get up quickly!" and turned to Jin Xingzi and said, "Thank you Dao Chang for rescuing Zhe'er!"

Jin Xingzi said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter, King Nan doesn't have to be polite, just go back and reward more wine and meat!"

Lu Jia had a silver beard and said with a smile: "This is easy to say!"

Yang Yingjie and the black-robed old man saw that there was no room for turn, and pointed at Lu Jia and shouted: "Soon, this Panyu will turn into scorched earth, you just wait!"

Fang Yu shouted, "Take me away!"

Yang Yingjie turned around and smiled, "Do you think you still have this value?"

Fang Yu was discouraged, pointed at Yang Yingjie and scolded: "If it is really a group of treacherous villains, I hate that I listened to your slanderous rumors, and even thought about what kind of king, resulting in ruin, fortunately, Nanyue was not buried in my hands and became your puppet, you escape, tell Ji Jie and King Xiong, just because you are a rabble that you can't fight the Qin State, you will all be annihilated by the Qin State!"

When Yang Yingjie heard half of it, he didn't want to listen anymore and ran away.

Shi Zecheng knelt down and shouted: "King, Zecheng was confused for a while, listened to slander, did something rebellious, begged the king to be merciful, and forgave Zecheng's life for the sake of fighting bloodily for South Vietnam in the past, I promise that I will change my past mistakes and serve the country loyally!"

Fang Yu pulled up his sword and said with a crazy smile: "I don't even have the courage to die, how can I talk about serving the country loyally, I only understand now, as soon as Li Zhong enters Panyu, our bureau is a dead end, hehe, defeat to such a person, my Yu is convinced, next, I hope Li Zhong will not let me down, keep me Panyu not lost, and keep the people of Nanyue quiet!" Under the sword, his throat was broken, blood gushed out, and he fell to the ground.

Lu Jia looked at Fang Yu and sighed, "Buried him thickly!" and turned to Shi Zecheng: "This king can spare your life, but he will never allow you to continue to stay in Panyu, you can leave with your family!"

Shi Zecheng burst into tears and shouted: "Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your kindness,......"

......

He sent his ministers out of the city to greet the king of the south, among them there were no obstacles and chasing waves, no obstacles did not escape, but arranged in advance, hid in the secret room of the luxury ship, was pulled to the palace, met with Lu Jia secretly, and made a plan.

After returning to the palace, after the ministers retreated, Lu Jia left the unhindered master and apprentice, General Xu, He Xian, and Lu Zhe, and set up a banquet in the harem.

Lu Jia held the wine bottle in his hand and said to Wu Barrier: "The special envoy's plan has eliminated the internal troubles for my South Vietnam without damaging a single soldier, and it has made great contributions to my South Vietnam.

After drinking a bottle of wine, Wuxian put down the wine bottle and said: "King Nan deigned to leave the palace and worked abroad for many days, and the foreign minister really didn't want to go!"

Lu Jia said with a smile: "I haven't left the palace for many years, this time I went out for a walk, looked at the territory of my South Vietnam, the mood is much happier, I couldn't figure out things before, now I can figure it out, go out well!"

Lu Zhe interjected: "The son looks like his father is much younger after he goes out, if he can go out for a walk often, then he can't live forever!"

Lu Jia said with a smile: "If I go out once, Panyu City will almost not recognize me as the king, if I go out often, maybe something will happen again!"

He said: "After this incident, everyone in the ministers is in danger, where do they dare to make trouble." ”

Lu Jia sighed: "It's just that this internal worry has been solved, and the external trouble is coming, I only have a moat to defend in Panyu City, once it is lost, Panyu can fall, I don't know if the envoy can have a clever plan to solve the siege of Panyu now?"

Wu Barrier said: "If you can't hold it, then you don't have to defend it, evacuate Panyu City." ”

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, although they knew that there were endless strategies without obstacles, but such an answer was too simple, so simple that it was not a strategy at all.

Xu Hu said: "Although the last general has convinced the envoy, where is the envoy guarding Panyu, isn't this clearly handing over Panyu to others?"

Without obstacles: "Resist 250,000 with 50,000, if you rely on the high city wall, you can defend until the arrival of our Qin army, but Panyu has no city wall, only a moat, if you defend it, even if you hold it, how many people can be left in Nanyue?"

Xu Hu said: "I remember that the envoy once said that a moat and 50,000 elite soldiers can protect Panyu without loss." ”

Wu Barrier said: "The foreign minister did say it, and he also said that he would advance and retreat with the king of the south, but the general's understanding of not losing is wrong, and it is not lost to regain it." After a pause, he said, "It's just that Panyu City needs to be destroyed and rebuilt in a different location." ”

Lu Jia sighed: "Although Panyu is not as prosperous as the cities in the Central Plains, this king has governed for a lifetime and spent a lot of effort to have such a city. ”

Wu Barrier said: "If we are defeated, Panyu City will still be destroyed, if we evacuate, at least the people and army of Panyu will be saved, which is more important, please consider the king!"

He said: "If we evacuate Panyu and take the people with us, the speed will be slow, and they will soon catch up with us, even if we turn around and fight, where is the possibility of winning?"

Wu Barrier said: "My lord is right, so we evacuated not to escape, but to come to a counter-trap, please enter the urn." ”

Xu Hu was even more confused, "If you can't defend the city, how can you be trapped?"

Wu Barrier said: "Relying on the topography of Panyu, the foreign minister did not say this policy at that time, the stakes are very high, if the enemy knows, then Panyu will be destroyed in an instant!"

Lu Jia immediately ordered the palace maids and guards to withdraw from the harem, personally went to the study to get the map, put it on the table, and several people gathered around, pointing to the map without obstacles: " Panyu city terrain is slightly lower than the surroundings, is a natural shallow basin, once the flood is introduced, the whole city will be submerged, the water level of the moat outside the city is not higher than the city, is because the introduction is the water of the Pearl River, the water level is equal, even in the flood season, when the water level of the Pearl River rises, it can also be closed at the inlet to reduce the inflow of water, so that the water level will not rise, and now is the flood season. ”

Lu Jia exclaimed: "Oh my God, this king didn't expect this pass when he was digging the moat, if this was known by the enemy, wouldn't it become a self-made tomb, and how many thousands of soldiers couldn't defend it, it seems that this Panyu City was indeed built in vain!"

Wuji continued: "The king does not need to panic, this moat is dug through the rock, and the water is far away, and it is far from enough to rely on this water, maybe if the water is full, the city will already find out and escape. Pointing to the Dongjiang Road behind Panyu Mountain: "The water level here is much higher than Panyu, the fountain in the city is from this river, and it is the closest to the city, as long as it is full of water in this position, a gap will be blown up at that time, and the river water will quickly pour into the city, plus the water of the Pearl River, even if the enemy wants to escape, it is too late to escape." ”

After hearing this, everyone admired, Xu Hu sighed: "Fortunately, the envoy is not our enemy, otherwise my Panyu will be destroyed overnight, and the previous things will be offended, please forgive the envoy!"

He Yan smiled and said: "If the envoy is careful, how can he recommend you to command the entire army of South Vietnam." ”

Lu Jia asked worriedly: "What if the enemy army does not enter Panyu City?"

Wu Jie said: "What the king said is that the key to this success lies in how to lure the enemy deeper, and how to evacuate Panyu at the right time without being discovered. ”

Lu Jia said: "I want to hear it in detail!"

Wu Barrier said: "The coalition army is besieging Panyu regardless of my 300,000 troops in the rear, its primary purpose is to get 50,000 elite soldiers, the threat is the main, the siege is secondary, if you can not fight, you must not fight, if you want to fight, you must fight quickly, otherwise when our Qin army arrives, they have their backs to the sea, and there is no way to retreat. ”

Xu Hu said: "Then why don't we withdraw and fight with them?"

Lu Zhe said: "This is the next policy, Mr. uses the best policy, to minimize the loss of my South Vietnam, listen to Mr."

Wu Barrier said: "Since General Xu wants to win the battle, then you might as well fight them here first." ”

Lu Zhe said: "This rut is confused again, isn't Mr. trying to avoid its edge?"

Wu Barrier said: "Fiction is real, reality is fiction, if they don't suffer a little, how can they anger the enemy army, make it attack with all their strength, and enter this circle." ”

"Fiction is real, reality is fiction, rut has been taught!"

He said: "But if we fight the enemy, how can we evacuate?"

Wu Jian pointed to the east side of the moat and said: "When the enemy arrives, we build a pontoon bridge here with the wooden planks removed from the houses, and the people evacuate first, and when the enemy launches a general attack, we suddenly rush here, quickly cross the bridge, and after the whole army passes, destroy the pontoon bridge, at that time, the enemy army is greeted by the water of the Dongjiang River." ”

Xu Hu exclaimed: "High, really high, I now understand why I can't win with my troops, the knowledge of this war is too deep, I only know how to fight hard, his grandmother's, it turns out that he doesn't know anything about the art of war!"

Lu Jia sighed: "Qin first had Bai Qi and Wang Qian, and now there is another Mr. Li, the world's top generals have been recruited by the Qin State, God is really unfair!"

Wu Barrier said: "The king of the south is too famous, I just adapt to the times, how can I get up to the two famous generals!"

He said: "At first, I thought that the envoy was a high-minded and arrogant person, but through our interactions in the past few days, we realized that the envoy was actually a modest and cautious person, just because the envoy stood higher than us and looked farther away than us, and what he said was difficult for us to understand. ”

Without obstacles, he said: "If there is no support from the King of South and Lord He, how can the foreign minister gain a foothold in Panyu, and the praise of the foreign minister is really ashamed!"

Lu Jia smiled: "Let's stop standing here, sit down and continue drinking." ”

After everyone returned to their original positions, Lu Zhe asked: "Ze'er's uncle is in the coalition army, and I am worried that the soldiers of Minyue will also follow into Panyu City, can you pass him a secret letter so that he can prepare in advance?"

Lu Jia said: "The King of Min does have the heart to join Qin, but he is controlled by Wen Lang and Xi Zhen, and he is still undecided, if he informs him of the secret, the survival of Panyu will be in his hands, which is absolutely impossible, Ze'er, you should understand a truth, you will be burdened with the safety of the people of South Vietnam in the future, in front of this, any personal feelings are insignificant." ”

"Ze'er knows!"

Lu Jia continued: "If he is wise, he should lead his troops to break away from the coalition army at this time and rush to my Panyu for reinforcements, otherwise, he is still waiting, if my Panyu can support the Qin army to come, he will definitely defect to Qin, if he sees that my Panyu can't hold it, he will lead the army to rush over and break my Panyu." ”
