Chapter 141: Outer Yellow
"Outer Yellow?"
"Captain Zuo asked us to capture Waihuang?"
When Yang Xiong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Great, Zuo Shuchang really values me. Specially send credit to us, and when we get rid of the outer yellow, you Zhao Tuoke and I will be only one step away from being promoted to the fifth doctor."
Zhao Tuo grimaced.
On the side, Zhao Ben reminded him: "Brother Yang, this outer yellow is not as easy to take as Xiao Huang. I heard that Zhang Er is the first hero of Wai Huang, and the rangers from the surrounding counties are all attached to him, and there are hundreds of people in the Zhang Er Hall alone. This city is not easy to attack!"
"Can't be persuaded to surrender?"
Yang Xiong frowned, remembering the seriousness of the matter.
Waihuang and Xiaohuang are both cities of the same level, with a height of three zhang and a large population. If you can't persuade you to surrender, if a thousand Qin troops attack strongly, it will be a little tricky.
He called Li Shiqi and asked, "You drunkard, you may persuade Wai Huang Ling to open his ears, so that Wai Huang will surrender without a fight, like Xiao Huang."
Li Shiqi blinked, he had just entered the battlefield under Zhao Tuo's recommendation, and he made a contribution to persuade Xiaohuangcheng to surrender.
Therefore, he was directly promoted by Yang Xiong by two levels and had the title of Shangzao of Qin.
This made Li Shiqi very proud, and felt that he really had the talent of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, and if he was given a chance, he would be able to soar into the sky. If this situation develops according to this, it is not impossible for him to eat his feudal lord and worship the prime minister in the future.
He was arrogant and arrogant, and he had the heart to do it again, but before he could speak, he remembered the reputation of Huang Ling's Zhang Er.
In the end, the clever Li Shiqi shook his head and said, "Waihuang Ling Zhang Er, a famous scholar of the Wei Kingdom. In the past, he was a guest of Xinling Jun's door, and he was known for his faith and righteousness, and was known as the first chivalrous warrior after Xinling Jun by the Wei people, and his reputation was not only spread in Wei, but even the people of Chu and Qi had heard of his name."
"Such a person will never be as greedy for life and afraid of death as Xiao Huang Ling, even if it is for the sake of fame, he will try his best to resist. Even if I have an incorruptible tongue, I am afraid I will not be able to convince him."
Seeing that Li Shiqi said the same thing as Zhao Ben, Yang Xiong's face became bitter all of a sudden, and his eyes looked at Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo's eyes narrowed slightly.
The reason why they were able to successfully persuade Xiao Huang to surrender was actually out of advance calculation.
Because the cities near Chenliu are the strongest in Xiaohuang and Waihuang.
The small yellow is near, and the outer yellow is far away.
Therefore, Yang Xiong asked for orders to attack the city, judging from Huan Zhao's previous performance, he would definitely not let him take credit for attacking those weaker towns, and the possibility of letting Yang Xiong attack Xiao Huang was the greatest.
Just like Lishi, he has the certainty of persuading Xiao Huang Ling, so that he can win the city without a fight, and everyone will earn credit.
Now Huan Zhao asked Yang Xiong to capture Waihuang, which is very troublesome.
"Zhang Er, he is also a celebrity in the late Qin Dynasty."
"I heard that when Liu Bang was young, he also had a period of time with Zhang Er."
Zhao Tuo secretly said in his heart, trying to recall the information hidden in the depths of his mind.
……
Outer Yellow City.
Zhang Er sat on the couch and looked at a few henchmen in the room.
"Huang Gong has already left the Outer Yellow Land Realm with his wife and Shaojun, and before the arrival of the Qin army, he should be able to enter Dayozawa."
Zhang Er nodded, the waters of Onozawa are wide and the terrain is complex, which is the most suitable for Tibetans.
And this side of the Great Zedong can pass through Qi, and the south can enter Chu, if the big thing is not good, whether it is to flee to Qi or to Chu, it is very convenient.
Now the army of the Qin State is pressing the border, and the troops are surrounding the Liang, making the trend of swallowing the Wei State.
With Zhang Er's eyesight, he can naturally see that the Wei State will fall, and there is no suspense in this matter.
But everyone can escape, but he can't easily abandon the city and flee.
Wei Bao can abandon Chen Liu without a fight. Because Wei Bao is a Wei royal family, he can get the hearts of Wei people just by the blood in his body.
Xiao Huang Ling can raise the city and surrender, because he doesn't need faith, he just wants to live.
But Zhang Er is different.
He's chivalrous.
Chivalrous
In the world, what is needed is a name, a faith, and a righteousness.
Believers, a promise will be fulfilled, the difficulty of saving people, do not avoid life and death, and promise others to do what they promise.
The righteous will repay their kindness, give what they take, and receive the favor of others, even if they die hard, they will repay it.
The reason why he was able to become a famous man in the Wei State and a heroic man outside the Huang Dynasty spread his reputation all over the world.
In addition to the financial support from his wife's family, reputation and integrity are the most important.
If he dares to abandon the city and flee, he will have no faith, no righteousness, and no reputation.
If the reputation of the heroes who have been in business for many years is ruined, Zhang Er will become a piece of stinky shit on the side of the road, and no one will pay attention to him at all, and he will even be spurned by the people of the Six Kingdoms.
Such an end is even more terrible for Ren Xia than dying under the sword of Qin Jun.
Therefore, Zhang Er must resist.
Even if he just blocks the next wave of Qin army's siege, he can let everyone in the world know that he has faith in his ears, eats Wei Lu, and repays Wei En, and he is by no means a courageless person.
"How many guests are there?"
"There are three hundred and twelve. Early this morning, two Qi people wanted to leave the city, but I beheaded them in the name of treachery, and I think the others should be deterred and dare not flee again."
"Hmm."
After thinking for a while, Zhang Er spoke, "Go and let the servants kill pigs and sheep, prepare dishes, and then invite all the knights to come to my house, and I will feast on guests today."
"Yui."
Seeing his cronies leave, Zhang Er closed his eyes and thought carefully.
The Qin army marched eastward to occupy the important land of Chenliu, and it is said that even Xiaohuangcheng was taken in one day.
The Qin army's march to Waihuang was only a matter of time.
The population of his outer yellow and Xiao Huang's city defense is about the same, there are about 300 county soldiers who can fight, and the young men in the city can probably recruit a thousand people, but these young men have basically never been on the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness is about to put a question mark, and it is impossible to be the opponent of the Qin army.
Zhang Er must let all the three hundred rangers under his door follow to defend the city.
Otherwise, he would not have the confidence to resist the Qin army.
At dusk, the sun sets in the west.
The lights in the county mansion are brilliant, the sound of silk and bamboo is pleasing to the ears, and the graceful dance is pleasing to the eyes.
Zhang Er set the wine and sang, and waited until the guests were staggered and the wine was hot.
He stood up, wine in hand.
The singing and dancing stopped.
Zhang Er looked at the people in the hall and sighed: "All the kings are heroes in the world, and they hate not to travel with them. It's a pity that the Qin people are coming......
"The ear is the outer Huang Ling, eat Wei Lu, and repay Wei En, and will definitely defend the city and protect the people in the outer Huang Dynasty, and fight with the Qin people. I wonder if you are willing to fight the Qin people with your ears?"
As soon as these words came out, all the guests who had just been drinking and having fun with smiles on their faces were stunned and looked at each other.
But immediately someone stood up and shouted, "The name of Zhang Junhao is known to everyone in the Six Kingdoms. We came to hear Zhang Jun's faithfulness. We chivalrous people should value righteousness and light life, not avoid life and death, and only exist for faithfulness. I am willing to defend Waihuang from Zhang Jun and fight the Qin army to the end!"
"That's right, Zhang Jun treats us with good food and wine, and chivalrous courtesy. I have heard that a man died for his confidant, and today is the time for us to repay the favor."
Someone stood up and chimed in.
"In my opinion, everyone here has received Zhang Jun's kindness, and now is the time for everyone to repay with faith. Whoever forsakes the city and goes away is treacherous and stealing his life."
"This kind of character is the most disgusting thing for the prince, and if you see it, one of them kills the other, and you kings, there are treacherous people among you!"
Someone drew his sword on the spot, and his mouth was awe-inspiring, scanning everyone in the hall.
The ranger guests from Zhao, Chu, and Qi were all stunned.
Because these chivalrous warriors who keep saying that they want to repay their deaths are all locals from Waihuang!
Their wives and children are old and young, and all their family property and goods are in this outer yellow city.
You guys
Isn't it normal to defend the city to the death?
Why do you want to pull on Naigong!
However, among the foreign guests, there were also those who valued faithfulness, and under the stimulus of this scene, they blushed and exclaimed, "You are right, we should swear to defend the city to the death, and we must not abandon the city and leave the word faith."
Some took the lead in echoing, while others held their swords and glanced fiercely.
In this case, those rangers who just want to eat can only follow everyone to echo them.
One of them, a ranger in his thirties, with a high nose and a long neck, and a bearded ranger, had a bitter melon-colored face.
"Naigong just came from Pei County, and he has only eaten your wine and food for less than a month, so he has to work hard for you......
