……

Twilight is falling, and the wind is biting.

The day's battle had just ended, and the news of the annihilation of Wanda's troops had spread to every corner of Tucheng.

For a time, the people of the army and the people were panicked, the law and order in the city collapsed instantly, and countless mobs took to the streets to vent their fears.

At this moment, both adults and children are participating in this otherworldly version of the "zero yuan purchase" carnival.

The vendors, who wanted to cry without tears, could only huddle in the corner, watching their subsistence goods being taken away by the irrational mob, but they did not dare to stop them in the slightest, because if they spoke, they might lose more than just their belongings.

Faced with the chaotic situation in the city, Starin was not in the mood to stop it, but discussed countermeasures with several military generals in his mansion with a sad face.

"What to do? If we can't get back the water supply, Tucheng can't be defended at all, and we can't hold out until the general's men and horses arrive, what should we do?

You are all generals in the city, so get an idea. ”

The four generals in the mansion looked at each other, what could they do?

In fact, in the early days of learning that the White Qi army was using troops against Kushan, they proposed to keep an eye on the nearby oasis to prevent the water source from being cut off.

However, Stain refused to accept it, on the grounds that he had been defeated by the enemy in order to prevent the enemy's plan.

In fact, several generals present understood that Starin's operation was afraid that the lack of troops in the city would give the oppressed people a chance to resist.

At present, Wanda, the most capable of fighting, died on the battlefield, the elite cavalry was also lost, and the water source was cut off, and the Han army besieged but did not attack, Tucheng has become an isolated city.

"Maybe we should order someone to break through and ask the nearby tribes for help, asking them to attack the Han army, which can also reduce the pressure on Tucheng now."

"But the most important problem now is that the water source is insufficient, and with the current number of people and horses in the city drinking, it will be two or three days at most, and the water will be cut off.

When the time comes, we don't need to attack with the white qi, we have already messed up our own battles! A middle-aged general with a thick beard sitting on the left side said with no worries.

Stain thought for a moment and said, "Then the city lord will announce the whole city, and from now on, all the water sources in the homes of the people will be used for public use.

Civilians can only drink a bowl of water a day at most, and leave the rest for the army for backup, so that it can last for a while, right? ”

"City Lord, I'm afraid this will arouse the anger of the people, how can a bowl of water be enough?" ”

Starin sneered, "What do those untouchables have to care about? At the moment, the overall situation is important, and they should give everything for this war in the Kushan Empire, including their lives. ”

Empty and his eyes narrowed, and he said in his heart, you are afraid that your brain is funny, on weekdays, your city lord's family is the most domineering, and there is no shortage of things to do in the sustainable pursuit of fishing, and the people in the city have long been extremely resentful of you, and now they have to control the drinking water, I am afraid that the day of the order is the time when this group of untouchables will rebel.

Thinking of this, Void Butuo shuddered, if Starin really wanted to do this, then he might also be implicated, or think of a way out, so as not to suffer with it.

He immediately arched his hand and said: "Lord City, I am willing to lead an army to attack the Han army camp at night, they have just won a while, and now I will definitely not expect that my army will choose this time to raid.

As long as our army enters the enemy camp and then sets fire to it, the Han army will definitely be defeated, please ask the city lord to agree! ”

Stain's eyes lit up when he heard this: "General Xubutuo's plan is very good, I don't know how sure it is?" ”

"If I am not completely sure, how dare I give advice to the city lord?" After defeating the enemy, the first credit should be the city lord! ”

"Hehe, hehe, okay, with a wise and brave general like General Xubutuo, I can really sit back and relax!"

Seeing that Starin had adopted his own plan, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he bowed down and said, "Without further ado, I'll go down and prepare." ”

Starin nodded: "Okay, the lord of this city is here, waiting for the victorious return of the Void General!" ”

"Lord of the city, I will retire first."

After he left, Starin suddenly felt that his depressed mood had improved considerably, and continued to talk with the rest of the generals.

Just when everyone's mood was high and they were about to take the wine and drink it, someone outside the door came to report: "Report ~ Lord Qiqi, the envoy of the Han army is asking to see you outside the city." ”

Starin frowned: "Han army envoy? What are they coming to do? ”

Then he waved his hand and asked, "How many people are coming?" ”

"There are three people outside the city, and one of them is a young general, who calls himself Geng Gong."

When he got the answer, Starin didn't even think about it, "Let them in, I'd like to see what they're going to do with me." ”

Three quarters of an hour later, Geng Gong and two soldiers from the Western Regions arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

Without waiting for Geng Gong to salute, he heard that Si Stain threw the wine glass on the table, assumed the posture of the city lord, tilted his head and asked, "Say, what are you looking for me?" ”

The soldiers of the Western Regions on the side truthfully translated Starin's words to Geng Gong.

Hearing this, Geng Gong patted the solid armor on his body, and said proudly to Stain: "On the order of the White Overseer Army of the Western Regions Protectorate, I have come to persuade you to surrender, now the situation is clear, and the victory and defeat have been divided.

You still can't see the situation clearly and surrender to my big man as soon as possible? Do you have to wait for the day when the city is broken, and the whole city will be destroyed? ”

Statine was furious: "Let me surrender? You invaders dare to invade my Kushan territory, and dare to show off your power in my realm?

You go and ask, do my Guishan soldiers and civilians have people who are greedy for life and afraid of death? I advise you that General Bai had better withdraw from the borders of our country as soon as possible,

Otherwise, when the general arrives, you will be taught to wait for death and have no place to be buried! ”

Geng Gong chuckled: "My Han raised troops to crusade against Guishan, but it was all because of your Guishuang's insistence on going your own way, disobeying the order of the Western Regions Protectorate, and plundering my country's subordinate states.

This move is in response to the request of the countries of the Western Regions to punish you, and instead of repenting, you dare to ignore my new Han decree.

It's hard for the people to be angry if they don't send troops, it's just that my general is benevolent and righteous, and he doesn't want to lose his life, so he asked me to come and persuade you to see the situation clearly.

I don't want you to be so ignorant, it's really a crime, it seems that you and I don't need to talk about it.

Wash your neck here and wait, and when the city is broken, you, along with the people of Kushan, will pay a heavy price for your arrogance today! ”

The three generals on the side of these words were afraid, after all, the life of the White Qi Slaughter resounded in the universe, and even a three-year-old child could stop crying when he heard his name.

Starin nervously rolled up and down with his Adam's apple, but he still held back his fear and let out a cruel word: "Then let Bai Qi try it!"

My Guishuang is not a small state in the Western Regions, there are enough armor millions, and it is just a snap of a finger to kill your little white unicorn! ”

"Hmph, in that case, then take your leave!"

Geng Gong casually arched his hand, glanced at Starne contemptuously, and then left without looking back.

As soon as he left, a military general on the side hurriedly said: "Lord of the city, why don't you detain this arrogant and rude Han general as a hostage?" ”

Only then did Starin react, but seeing that Geng Gong had already walked away, he forced himself to calm down and said: "The two armies are fighting, don't kill the envoy, let him go, and wait for General Xubutuo's night attack to succeed, I see if Bai Qi will be so arrogant!" ”
