Chapter 243: Moody
Xuelin City, an important town in northern Yanbei
On the towering city wall, all kinds of big flags flutter in the wind, under the big banner are bed crossbows, catapults, crashes, fork rods, flying hooks, yaksha beating, ground listening, stones, rolling wood and so on all kinds of city defense equipment, next to the city defense equipment, there are countless Yan soldiers, holding all kinds of weapons, standing between the wall buttresses, covering the entire city wall, and except for a few generals to pass the order, almost no one speaks, all are in strict formation, beware of the Huns attacking the city.
The strictness of Hu Yansheng, the marshal of the Yanbian Army, can be seen.
There was an atmosphere of murder above the city walls, and above the wilderness beyond the city walls, there was a bleak scene.
Under the dark clouds, eagles, crows, jackals, etc., are in groups, and they have only one purpose, that is, to peck and gnaw on corpses to satisfy their hunger. On the snowfield, among the rocks and weeds, you can see broken weapons, mutilated corpses, etc., arrows like wheat seedlings, stuck in the ground, dense, the air is mixed with the smell of burnt corpses and blood, pungent and disgusting.
Not long ago, in a big battle, the Huns lost their troops.
"Meet the Grand Duke!"
Ning Shuo Sanbo, General Zuo, Guigu Pass, Qilin Pass, Xuelin City Governor Hu Yansheng was wearing iron armor, when he walked up to the city, more than 100 Yan army generals bowed down and saluted together, and the sound of armor and weapons colliding was loud.
"Gentlemen, no courtesy!" During the battle with the Xiongnu army, Hu Yansheng rarely showed a smile on his face, but today he smiled and said to the generals: "These days, the Xiongnu thieves have made it difficult for us to sleep and eat, and the soldiers are tired, and they have paid a lot of casualties. ”
"Most of the governors work hard for the country, and the last general should not be thanked." The congregations will answer together.
Hu Yansheng nodded and continued: "But there is no need to be so nervous at the moment, you can take a break, but you can't be too relaxed, you need to keep an eye on the movements of the Hun army." ”
When the generals heard this, they exchanged their heads and talked in low voices.
Two days ago, there were a large number of Hun cavalry outside the city, and the Yan army was nervous.
"Dadu Governor, the Hun army is outside, and the company camp is more than 20 miles, there is a possibility of attacking Xuelin City again, why is Dadu Governor like this?" So Hou Luoqi asked in surprise.
"It's just a bluff, and Ben expects them to retire soon." Hu Yansheng sneered.
"Retirement? Why did you quit the army? Was it because of that small defeat a few days ago? Hou Luozi asked again.
Hu Yansheng shook his head slightly, and then said to Hou Luoqi and Fan Guxi: "You two come with this governor. ”
..................
"Zhou Fugui? Havoc in the Hun court? Inside the city gate tower, Hou Luoqi said in surprise: "Zhou Fugui, Zhou Pijiang, our family didn't misunderstand him, he is really a young hero, and he has a good ability!" Our family will play the court and ask for credit for him! ”
It turned out that Zhou Fugui was making trouble in the court of the Huns, which made the Hun army have no intention of fighting again and planned to retreat.
Of course, we have to make a big fuss about it.
Hu Yansheng and Fan Guxi glanced at each other when they heard this, and they were disdainful and speechless.
These eight characters have been skimmed, and he is ready to steal the credit? Hu Yansheng and Fan Guxi both thought so in their hearts.
Whether Zhou Fugui's news is true or false, Hu Yansheng and others can't clearly distinguish at this time, but most of Zhou Fugui's things are true, even if the Huns cheat, they will not use Zhou Fugui, such a nobody.
Even if Zhou Fugui's matter is true, whether the Xiongnu army will retreat, if it is used to open the gate of Xuelin City, lure the Yan army out of the city for a decisive battle, and so on, it is possible.
The decisive battle in the field is the advantage of the Hun army, and whether Zhou Fugui's matter is true or false, according to the fortified city, it is indeed the best policy.
So Hu Yansheng thought about it for a long time and said: "Zhongguan Hou, this matter is not known to be true or false, so don't act rashly. ”
"The retreat of the Huns, this is what you said, why are you like this?" Hou Luoqi asked with some displeasure when he heard this.
"The Governor is just giving the soldiers a little rest." Hu Yansheng replied.
"The Metropolitan Governor..."Fan Guxi asked, "If the Xiongnu army really retreats and does not kill the soldiers, won't they miss the opportunity?" ”
"According to ah, the Hun army retreated, and our army took the opportunity to cover up and kill, and it will definitely be able to achieve a great victory." Hou Luoqi slapped his thigh and shouted.
After more than two months of fierce battles with the Hun army, the murderous appearance of the Huns had already shrunk Hou Luoqi in the house all day long and chanted "Amitabha"... At this moment, the Huns were about to retreat, and he was energetic again, and he wanted to make contributions again.
"The weight of the northern frontier of the Great Yan Kingdom lies in the three passes, and the governor will never allow the three passes to be lost, so when the enemy situation is unknown, the governor will never go out to attack the enemy." Hu Yansheng said lightly.
Hu Yansheng is unusually cautious in his use of soldiers, and he is a little old-fashioned in his cautiousness, and even Yu Duoyongjian, the Hun Dadan, has a headache for him.
"So... Isn't Zhou Pi going to be dangerous for him? The Governor didn't want to save him? Fan Guxi asked again.
If Hu Yansheng sent troops to chase down or entangle the Hun army, he might be able to save Zhou Fugui's life, but if Hu Yansheng defended Xuelin City and refused to go out, then Zhou Fugui would definitely die, at least Fan Guxi and others thought so.
Hou Luoqi also nodded when he heard this.
Hou Luoqi didn't want to save Zhou Fugui, what does Zhou Fugui have to do with him whether he dies or not? Hou Luoqi just wanted to take advantage of Zhou Fugui.
"Save him? How to save? Did he save only one of his thousands of lives? Hu Yansheng asked rhetorically when he heard this.
Fan Guxi was speechless when he heard this.
Zhou Fugui is far away in the court of the Huns, even if Hu Yansheng wants to save him, as he himself said, how to save him? Sending troops out of the city, I am afraid that I will be ambushed by the Huns halfway, so that the soldiers will not be able to reach the court of the Huns, and send troops out of the city, and Sanguan may fall into the hands of the Huns.
The so-called far water can't save the near fire, that's the truth.
Of course, Hu Yansheng wanted to save Zhou Fugui, no matter what the reason, Zhou Fugui and the others were sent out by Hu Yansheng, why didn't Hu Yansheng want to save him? But weighing the pros and cons, you can only have more than enough heart and not enough power.
As the chief of a town and the commander of an army, at any time, we must weigh the pros and cons, keep a cool head and sober at all times, and never act impulsively, which is the most basic, otherwise it is difficult to be a general.
Silly boy, who made you run that far? Still making trouble in the Hun royal court? Afraid that things won't be big enough? Hu Yansheng thought with hatred in his heart, it's not that I won't save you, it's really helpless, you can only ask for more blessings
..................
"You pick two armies of soldiers and horses, with the fastest horses and the best weapons, and you go out of the city in the starry night, and you personally lead the army." When there was no one around, Hu Yansheng instructed Tutis. The brigade of men and horses, when the enemy situation is unknown, cannot go out of the city, but it is still possible to send a small group of people, Hu Yansheng can only help Zhou Fugui so much.
"The last general obeys!" Tutis answered, and asked, "What will happen when you get out of the city?" All the way to the north, directly hit the Hun royal court? ”
"Do you think the Hun court is just going to get it?" Hu Yansheng glared at Tutis and said, "The Xiongnu Royal Court is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and that Chaos Kid somehow broke into there?" After you leave the city, you can bluff under the banner of the Governor and find out the enemy's situation. If possible... When he found Duo Yongjian, he said that if he was willing to let the Chaos Boy come back, Ben Du would allow him to return safely. ”
Hu Yansheng was cautious and cautious, but it was not necessarily that he did not attack, did not send troops out to cover and kill the Hun army, as long as the conditions permitted, as long as it was found that the Hun army was indeed retreating in a hurry, then Hu Yansheng would not hesitate to go out of the city to chase and kill the Huns.
However, at this time, for the sake of Zhou Fugui, Hu Yansheng's condition was to bluff and kill the Hun army, and allow most of them to return to the grassland.
Once Hu Yansheng made up his mind to go out of the city to chase the enemy, he would be sure that he would be overwhelmed.
"The last general obeys!" Tutis nodded.

Yanjing Division Youzhou Imperial Palace
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”
"Give me back my child! The dog slave returns my child! ”
In the Yan Palace, Emperor Murong Xi personally carried a long whip, and whipped one whip after another on the body of the backbone general of the Great Yan Kingdom, Daye Jian, and in an instant, Daye Jian opened his skin and flesh, wailed loudly, and the sound was so loud that it passed through the roof of the palace and echoed above the palace.
