Chapter 56: The Battle of Xunyang (Part II)
How could Han Xiu be willing?
His eyes were full of resentment.
"Wu Jinfan! Who do you think you are?! ”
Han Xiu sneered in his heart.
It's a pity that all of this was killed by Wu Jinfan's guy!
Han Xiu was very depressed in his heart.
But fortunately, he also gained something this time!
The representatives of the imperial court on Wu Jinfan's side could only defend the area of Xunyang and Jianzhou City.
He also has a chance to kill the other party!
A grim smile appeared on the corner of Han Xiu's mouth.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly issued an order, asking his soldiers to step up the siege of the city, and strive to take Xunyang in the shortest possible time!
Jianzhou City, Wu Jinfan's nest, his confidant, the object he has always wanted to get rid of.
Han Xiu's mood was complicated.
On the one hand, he wanted to break through the city and rob it of food so that he could supply his army. On the other hand, Wu Jinfan's strength is too strong, so he has to be afraid of three points.
He is not Wu Jinfan's opponent now, not to mention, Western Xia is the main force in his counterattack on the Daxu court.
A smile appeared on his face at the thought of this.
"Wu Jinfan, your good days are over!"
Han Xiu smiled secretly in his heart.
...............
"Wu Jinfan, you wait!"
.........
In Wu Jinfan's camp, there was a festive atmosphere.
Everyone laughed and toasted each other.
Of course, these people are complimenting Wu Jinfan and patting Wu Jinfan's ass.
Whether it was in Xunyang City or in other parts of the Daxu Empire, Wu Jinfan was famous for his military exploits.
Wu Jinfan repelled the 20,000 cavalry of Western Xia in one fell swoop, and defeated the vanguard of Han Xiu's former army in one fell swoop.
These people had to throw themselves to the five bodies that Wu Jinfan admired.
Wu Jinfan sat on a big chair and was very drunk.
He told the truth that he had never been so relaxed, and from the high-pressure state of the war because of the first victory, the morale was greatly increased, and it would be more advantageous to defend Xunyang City.
To his left and right are high-ranking officials from all over Daxu.
"Lord Wu is really brave! It is a blessing for my Daxu country to have a commander like you! ”
"Yes! Lord Wu is really a fairy-like figure! ”
............
The crowd praised.
Wu Jinfan laughed: "You have won the award!" Everyone is our hero! I can have today's situation in Daxu, thanks to your great help! ”
The crowd chimed in.
Wu Jinfan's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Everyone, we must drink to the end today, we will rest as soon as we get drunk!"
Wu Jinfan shouted haughtily.
"Rejoice! Joyfully! ”
Everyone raised their glasses.
............
Inside Xunyang City.
The Western Xia army was stationed hundreds of miles outside the city of Xunyang.
These days, Han Xiu has been secretly observing the movements of the army in the city.
In the Western Xia military camp, there were many soldiers patrolling everywhere.
These patrolling soldiers, carrying broadswords and shields, spears in their hands, and their eyes are vigilant.
Han Xiu couldn't help frowning.
These patrolling soldiers are all elite!
Han Xiu drove the fast horse and came to the Western Xia military camp under the recommendation of several Western Xia soldiers.
"King Han, please!"
A Western Xia soldier said slowly.
Han Xiu nodded and followed the other party to a tent.
Then he followed the Western Xia soldiers into the tent.
The tent was spacious, with tables and chairs all around.
In the military camp of Western Xia, there were no beds, just simple wooden planks.
Inside the tent, the generalissimo of Western Xia sat upright.
After Han Xiu saw the salute, he said, "Generalissimo, I have already come, do you have any orders?" ”
The generalissimo glanced at the Western Xia soldiers and said, "Huh? ”。
The Western Xia soldier who led the way pointed to the chair next to Han Xiu and said.
"King Han, Dashuai asked you to take a seat!"
Han Xiu sat on the chair, feeling very worried, and felt a feeling of discomfort in his heart for some reason.
The Generalissimo of Western Xia smiled and said, "King Han is really a young man and has courage!" ”
Han Xiu knew that the other party should be the big guy here, he was just his minions, and he had the right to decide his own life and death!
Han Xiu felt uneasy in his heart.
The generalissimo looked at the Western Xia soldiers and motioned for them to stand back.
Soon, the Western Xia soldiers walked out.
The generalissimo of Western Xia felt a feeling of discomfort in his heart for some reason.
The generalissimo of Western Xia smiled and said, "Hahaha! King Han came so fast! ”
Han Xiu was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "I don't understand what the marshal means, I don't know what the marshal means......"
Marshal Xixia shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't worry. I don't mean it badly. ”
"Ben Shuai doesn't mean to belittle King Han, it's just that Ben Shuai wants you to know one thing."
Han Xiu's heart couldn't help sinking, he knew the methods of the Western Xia Marshal, and hurriedly said, "I don't know what the Generalissimo wants Han to do?" I hope the Generalissimo will say it clearly. ”
Marshal Xixia glanced at Han Xiu and said, "King Han, you are a smart person!" ”
When Han Xiu heard this, he was stunned.
He looked at the generalissimo.
"The division of land that we discussed before, my king was not very satisfied, and now the siege is damaged, and my Western Xia has suffered thousands of losses in vain, so ......... Yes! ”
As soon as Han Xiu was halfway through his words, the generalissimo stood up and walked towards Han Xiu.
patted Han Xiu on the shoulder.
Marshal Xixia said coldly: "This marshal doesn't want to see such a thing happen again!" King Han, can you hear me clearly? ”
"My king is still in love, the Jianzhou Palace in Daxu, if the king of Han conquers the capital division of Daxu with the full support of my Western Xia army, changes the dynasty, and the southern states and Jianzhou ........"
Speaking of this, Marshal Xixia's gaze became grim.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Han Xiu.
Han Xiu's heart trembled.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
His heart couldn't help but feel a pang, and the words of this generalissimo made his heart a little flustered.
The meaning of the generalissimo of Western Xia is very clear, if he Han Xiu captures Daxu Jingshi, Han Xiu must hand over the palace of Jianzhou City to the king of Western Xia.
This is a piece of fat, how can the king of Western Xia not be tempted?
Jianzhou Palace? What is that place? Could it be the Jianzhou Palace in Daxu? Jianzhou was the most important frontier fortress in Daxu, and a large number of troops were stationed there, and if the Western Xia army invaded, it would be met with stubborn resistance.
However, Han Xiu also knew that now his subordinates were limited, and Jianzhou could not swallow them.
He knew that if he agreed, the Western Xia army would definitely pour out and launch a full-scale invasion of Daxu!
The foundation of Daxu is not stable, so I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties.
Moreover, Han Xiu knew that if Daxu did not have the benefit of Jianzhou, the Central Plains would be a flat river, and the south and west would be in the hands of Western Xia.
They are the turtles in the urn, and they will definitely be defeated.
Daxu is where his Han Xiu's homeland is located, and it is also the foundation of Han Xiu!
Therefore, the benefits of Jianzhou must not be allowed!
Thinking of this, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on Han Xiu's forehead.
Han Xiu struggled a little in his heart. Jianzhou City, Jianzhou City, Jianzhou ......... Jianzhou.
But whenever he ceded other states, Han Xiu would not hesitate to agree, but Jianzhou couldn't!
Jianzhou's geographical location makes Han Xiu like a fish in his throat!
Daxu, I'm afraid it will be completely occupied!
"King Han, what are you hesitating about? Ben Shuai has promised you a great benefit, this is an opportunity that no one in the world wants, if you refuse......."
The generalissimo's face became a little cold.
Once Han Xiu agrees, then it will be equivalent to admitting that he is a traitor to the country, and at that time, the Western Xia troops will sweep the entire Daxu Empire!
Daxu will forever be history!
Han Xiu took a deep breath, glanced at the Generalissimo of Western Xia, and arched his hand and said, "Thank you for the Generalissimo's love, but Han Xiu can't be the master." I also hope that the generalissimo will give Han Xiu two more days to think about it. ”
"Two days? King Han, I've given you many chances! ”
"I know that the sincerity of the Generalissimo of Western Xia, Han Xiu knows it in his heart. But...... Han Xiu can't agree! ”
Marshal Xixia's pupils suddenly constricted, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a killing intent enveloped Han Xiu's body.
"Why?" The Generalissimo of Western Xia's tone was questioning.
"Because although I am a thief of the Daxu Empire, I am also the son of Daxu! I can't bear to see the people of Daxu fall to this. ”
Daxu is my Han Xiu's hometown, how can Han Xiu give up his hometown!
Guardians can also be thieves, commoners, beggars, tycoons, good people, or wicked people.
Under the family and country, the invasion of the Western Xia Yi tribe is a big deal!
Han Xiu's face was unusually resolute, and he said word by word: "Daxu is my homeland and my foundation, I would rather die on the battlefield than betray!" ”
Han Xiu said categorically: "The sincerity of the generalissimo, Han Xiu already understands it in his heart, but Han Xiu has also seen the sincerity of Western Xia!" ”
"So, Han Xiu can only say sorry!"
"Good, good! What a loyal and courageous person, Han Xiu, you are really courageous! It is worthy of being a figure valued by the king of my family, in this case, Ben Shuai will give you three days to think about it, and you can consider it yourself! ”
The generalissimo's gaze was as cold as a sword, and he said word by word.
"Yes, thank you Generalissimo, in three days, I will give you a satisfactory answer!"
After Han Xiu finished speaking, he turned to leave, his steps seemed a little vain.
He has always thought that he can protect his hometown and his relatives by himself.
But now he realizes that he was wrong, and that there is no place for him in his hometown.
His relatives are also dead and fleeing, and now he is the only one left.
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Han Xiu's mouth.
He was not reconciled!
He was unwilling to let his efforts and hard work for so many years disappear because of a few words from a generalissimo of Western Xia!
Marshal Xixia looked at Han Xiu's departing back, his eyes flickering.
"Han Xiu, you are really stubborn, I want to see if you can really give up your great cause for the sake of Jianzhou. What is your country? ”
Han Xiu's face was filled with grief, and he felt extremely heavy and helpless.
Han Xiu walked all the way to the gate of the camp, he raised his head and looked at the sky, with deep nostalgia in his eyes.
