Chapter 140: Xiao Huang
Xiaohuang County.
It is located dozens of miles away from the north of Chenliu City, and the city wall is not high, only about three zhang. However, the city has a large population and is a large city near Chenliu.
On this day, the gate of Xiaohuang County was closed, there were soldiers patrolling nervously on the city wall, and there were all kinds of remarks in the city, which made people panic.
Nothing else, it was all because the Wei capital Liang was besieged by the Qin army.
The nearby city of Chenliu fell into the hands of the Qin army in one day, how could such a situation not make the Wei people in Xiaohuangcheng worried.
In particular, there was a news from the Wei people who had fled into the city.
It is said that since Chen Liu, a Qin army began to move north, and it seems to be coming straight to Xiao Huang.
Xiao Huang Ling stood on the city wall, looking into the distance.
In the mountains and forests, there seems to be a black flag looming.
"What can I do about it, what can I do about it!"
He sighed, overwhelmed by his panic.
At that moment, someone shouted, "There is a chariot! There's a chariot!"
Xiao Huang Ling was startled, looked up, and found a four-horse chariot rolling in.
There was no flag on the chariot, but judging from the shape of the chariot, there was no doubt that it must be the chariot and horse of the Qin people.
"County magistrate, do you want to release arrows?" Someone exclaimed.
Xiao Huang Ling hurriedly stopped: "Wait, the other party only has a car and two people, not from the siege, let's see what the person in the car has to say?"
The chariot sped to a hundred meters outside the city and stopped, and the middle-aged man standing on the cart took a look at the situation of the city wall and saw that the other party did not release arrows rashly, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
He slowly got out of the car and walked towards the city gate.
"Who's coming?"
"I'm a Gaoyang drunkard!"
Xiao Huang Ling was stunned, he knew that Gao Yang was one of Chen Liu's lieutenants.
Gaoyang drunkard, isn't he a drunkard in Gaoyang?
However, the person who came was full of Wei Yin, not a Qin person, even if he came from the Qin army's chariot, it also made the people on the city wall breathe a sigh of relief, plus the other party was just a person who stepped forward, and the guards couldn't help but put down their bows and arrows.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Huang Ling asked knowingly.
Li Shiqi laughed and said, "I came to save the life of the public, and I also came to save the life of Xiao Huang Mancheng!"
……
In the mountains and forests outside the city, thousands of Qin soldiers sat on the ground to rest.
The three Qin generals stood at the edge of the woods.
After seeing Lishiqi being hung on the city wall.
Zhao Tuo stroked his palm and said, "This matter is done."
Yang Xiong was still a little disbelieving, and said, "That drunkard who is full of sour smell, can he really say that he will descend to Xiaohuangcheng? If we fail to surrender, we will have to attack the city with these thousand men."
Zhao Tuo smiled and said, "Brother Yang, don't worry, there should be no accident in this matter. I didn't just listen to Na Li Shiqi alone, and let you hastily ask for your life to the Zuo Chief."
"Before that, I also asked the Minions in Chen Liucheng. I know that this little Huang Ling is indeed not a strong person, he has a good personality and spares his life, and even this little Huang Ling's position can only be obtained by bribery."
"How could such a person die for the sake of Wei Guosheji. Xiao Huang is in this city, I think I can go down without a fight. If it succeeds, how many of my soldiers can be saved by this one lobbyist."
Yang Xiong nodded again and again.
"Indeed, the art of war is "to attack the army, then to attack, then to attack the army, and then to attack the city". If we send that drunkard into the city, it can be regarded as a war and a fight, which is in line with the art of war."
Zhao Ben on the side also nodded.
Only those Qin soldiers in the woods who wanted to make meritorious contributions were full of depression.
Qin Shang's first merit, if Xiao Huangcheng surrendered without a fight, they would have no military merit to take at all, which was equivalent to running for nothing.
That's where the ass decides the head.
If Zhao Tuo only had the title of doctor or below, he would definitely think about how to fight and kill and make military merits with his head.
But now Zhao Tuo, who is the title of duke, as well as Yang Xiong, Zhao Ben and others, unless they cut off thousands of heads in a big battle and rely on Yingxuan to upgrade, a simple head is of little use to them
Place.
If you want to upgrade your title as soon as possible, you will naturally have to conquer the city quickly.
Zhao Tuo asked the military judge to calculate, before Chen Liucheng surrendered without a fight, they were able to share some military merits. However, because the grain and grass in the city were burned clean by Wei Bao, the strategic goal was not achieved, and the credit was not much.
Zhao Tuo and Yang Xiong want to be promoted on this basis, and their team of 1,000 people must capture at least three cities like Xiaohuang alone.
Of course, if you attack a slightly smaller city, the credit will be reduced. If you follow a large army, the number of cities captured will have to be doubled.
Therefore, in order to make meritorious contributions and be promoted as soon as possible, there was a matter of Yang Xiong asking for an order to attack the city, and Huan Zhao sent him to attack Xiao Huang.
Soon half a day passed, and Yang Xiong was obviously a little impatient in his heart.
It was the first time he went to the battlefield and the first time he led the troops, so he was naturally apprehensive, and after seeing it for a long time, the city had not reacted, and he couldn't help but feel anxious
"Is that drunkard killed, let's sit here and waste our time. If Xiao Huang Ling takes advantage of this time to recruit the young people in the city to defend the city, then we will miss the fighter plane in vain."
Zhao Tuo rolled his eyes, Yang Xiong was still too impatient.
Even if they didn't send lobbyists into the city and directly raid the siege, it was impossible to attack immediately, and they didn't have to make siege weapons, and those times were enough for the other party to prepare, so there was not much difference.
"It's on! The gates are open!"
Zhao Ben screamed and pointed to Xiao Huangcheng in the distance.
Everyone hurriedly looked over, and really saw the gate of the little yellow city wide open, and someone inside came out with a flag.
At the same time, the Wei flag on the head of the city was also removed.
Little Yellow City, surrendered without a fight.
Yang Xiong slapped his thigh fiercely and shouted, "Hahaha, I, Yang Xiong, can take this city without a single soldier, I'm really amazing!"
The corners of Zhao Tuo's mouth twitched.
He rubbed his thighs and wanted to say to Yang Xiong, big brother, can you pat your thighs next time, it really hurts.
However, Zhao Tuo was very relieved that he was not mistaken.
This little yellow city is the touchstone he gave Li Shiqi.
Facts have proved that even if Lishiqi stepped onto the stage of history more than ten years in advance, its persuasive ability is still not to be underestimated, and persuading a small city is really like exploring a bag.
Xiao Huangcheng surrendered without a fight, although the low-level soldiers did not get the credit.
However, Zhao Tuo and Yang Xiong, without the loss of their soldiers, directly increased their experience bar by one-third.
As long as they take two more cities of this size on their own, they can be promoted to the rank of five doctors.
Together with Zhao Ben, who is the lord of the five hundred, he has also gained a lot of military exploits, and he is getting closer and closer to the title of duke.
……
Chen Liucheng, when Huan Zhao received the military intelligence report from Xiaohuangcheng, his face was full of astonishment: "What? Then Yang Xiong sent a lobbyist into the city, and let Xiao Huang surrender without a fight?"
With his subordinates attacking the city, Huan Zhao can naturally get merit, but now this record in front of him makes him feel very uncomfortable.
You know, the cronies he sent out to raid the weak cities around him haven't sent back the news yet. Then Yang Xiong and Zhao Tuo won the very powerful Xiaohuangcheng in one day.
This comparison is uncomfortable.
"It's Zhao Tuo, right? Yang Xiong's guy definitely doesn't have such ability, it must be an idea that Zhao Tuo came up with!"
"You want to persuade you to surrender, don't you? Oh, since you have such ability, then I will give you another merit so that you can be promoted to the fifth doctor as soon as possible."
"Send someone to take over Xiao Huang, and at the same time send an order to Yang Xiong's department, so that he can move east and capture Wai Huang!"
"Hmph, that Huang Ling Zhang Er is a famous person of the Wei State, I want to see if you Yang Xiong and Zhao Tuo can persuade him to surrender?"
