Chapter 339: A strong fortress to be broken from within
When the city gate chief heard this, he sneered: "Heh, my status is low, but I also know loyalty." If you are caught today, you will die, but if you kill me, you don't want to escape from this Xiangyang City! ”
As soon as he heard Niu Dazhuang's words, he knew what the other party wanted to say, it was nothing more than trying to persuade himself.
Pull it down, if you fail, won't you die and have no place to bury yourself? If you die, you will be called a traitor.
Rather than that, it is better to be killed now, and someone can avenge you.
Niu Dazhuang raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect this guy with trembling legs to really have a little backbone.
Glancing at it at the moment, he simply put the knife into the sheath, and the movement was clean and neat, obviously this action had long been integrated into muscle memory.
Although the city gate chief is not proficient in martial arts, his vision is still a little, and he immediately knows that the martial arts of the person in front of him are by no means the same level as himself, so naturally he did not act rashly.
"Do you think that if I don't come today, you will be able to live?" Niu Dazhuang sneered, shook his head and said, "The progress of the repair of the Xiangyang City Wall today can't catch up with the progress of the destruction of the Han army outside the city, you should know this better than me." ”
The chief of the gate was silent for a moment.
Of course, he knew that he was organizing the servants and overseers who repaired the city walls in Xicheng every day, and he could not count the progress in his heart?
But this is not something that he should worry about as a city gate chief, after a day, this hidden danger will be subconsciously ignored.
"It was only a matter of time before the outer layer of the city wall was blown down, and it was not long before the Han soldiers could climb the wall everywhere without a ladder, and even run horses at the top of the city...... Aren't you still going to die? ”
Niu Dazhuang's words are true, if the outer layer of the city wall is smashed by the thunder cannon, the entire outer wall becomes a loose soil slope, and the quality of the Dian horse climbing the mountain can really run up directly......
But this is still an exaggeration, in fact, according to the current progress, the city wall of Xiangyang can hold out for at least a few more months.
If the defenders of Xiangyang can successfully drag into winter, then the city wall can be quickly strengthened by splashing the city wall with warm water, so that the war may have to drag on into next year.
At that time, I am afraid that the battle of Cao Pi in the east to defeat Wu had already been decided.
Needless to say, even if Cao's army is defeated, as long as you don't bury all the living forces in it, Xiangfan will wait for reinforcements.
But these things, which of them can be seen by a small city gate chief on the other side?
After listening to these words at the moment, he only felt that the future was bleak, as if Xiangyang really had no possibility of holding.
Seeing that the other party was silent, Niu Dazhuang felt that the heat was almost over, and began to get to the point: "Actually, you still have one last way to live." ”
The city gate chief still didn't speak, he understood the meaning of Niu Dazhuang very well, but people are emotional animals, and it takes a process to accept them.
Seeing that the other party did not say anything to refute it, Niu Dazhuang knew that there was a door, and directly made it clear: "If you surrender today, you can not only save the lives of your family, but also the lives of countless colleagues and innocent people in the city!" This is a great righteousness and a great good.
"Helping the Han army, crusading against the unruly usurpation, serving under General Guan, and helping the Han family also have your share of the credit, not in vain for the ancestors to be the Han people, this is great loyalty and filial piety!
"Are you willing to be the foolish and loyal dog of the Cao Wei thief and give your life in vain, or be a good man who is loyal, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, you should think about it."
The city gatekeeper's breathing gradually became heavier, his eyes rolled, and his heart was obviously shaken, and he was in the midst of a battle between heaven and man.
Niu Dazhuang's words directly described the surrender of the betrayal as a martyr-like feat, which has completely broken the moral shackles in his heart and given him the steps to walk down.
Next, it was almost just a push behind his back.
Niu Dazhuang reached into his arms and took out a piece of fine silk from it.
The chief of the city gate raised his eyebrows when he saw this.
Cao Wei's domestic monetary economy collapsed at this time, and even the people from all over the country started from the south, and privately popularized the Zhibai money issued by Shu.
Is this still worth it? However, although Cao Wei's high-level officials were in a hurry, the effect of vigorously promoting the five-baht coin was not good.
Currency currency, goods before currency, without the indispensable endorsement of goods, money is just a joke.
As a result, Cao Wei basically used "grain and silk" as hard currency.
Therefore, as soon as he saw Niu Dazhuang take out a piece of high-quality silk, the last bit of hesitation disappeared.
This piece of silk is not big, but it represents sincerity, and after proving that he surrendered, the Han army would not treat him badly.
It's just that he was just about to open his mouth to show his loyalty, but he saw Niu Dazhuang open the silk.
A golden light almost blinded the gatekeeper's eyes.
This silk is wrapped in two horseshoe gold.
It was the first time in his life that he had seen real gold with his own eyes, let alone get it.
These things are all used for recruiting troops and bulk commodity settlements, and ordinary people don't use them at all, and they are almost impossible to see.
Just as the city gate chief's breathing became heavier and he was still a little dizzy, a hypnotic voice came from the side again.
"With your background, even if you are lucky enough not to die, you will be a doorkeeper for the rest of your life. I think you are quite courageous, if you surrender to the Han army, General Guan and His Majesty want to promote talents, your background is never a problem, and you may have a great achievement. ”
What man doesn't aspire to get ahead and make a career?
As soon as these words came out, coupled with the gold in front of him, the eyes of the city gate chief immediately became hot.
Of course, although the cake is drawn, whether you can really eat it in your mouth in the future is not his responsibility.
With a pop, the city gate chief knelt directly on the ground, clasped his hands into fists and said: "What the king said, the order was opened in Xiamao." Although he has little strength, he is willing to join the command of General Guan and work for the help of the Han family! ”
Niu Dazhuang hooked the corners of his mouth and helped him up: "Since you are under the command of General Guan, you and I are our own brothers, so there is no need to do this." After the matter is completed, a certain person will show General Guan your merits. ”
The head of the city gate stood up and asked a little nervously: "Brother, don't worry, but I don't know what if I need a little brother?" ”
Niu Dazhuang patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, this matter is not difficult for you." ”
As he spoke, he leaned over and whispered a few words, and the chief of the city gate nodded again and again, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, I was worried that he would use the time he came into contact with the full pet to assassinate him...... But I didn't expect the task to be very easy.
"Now that it's settled, I'll go first." Niu Dazhuang said that he ran on the stove lightly, and his movements were light and flexible, which did not match his tall figure at all.
He opened the window and cautiously looked around, seeing that the posture was about to turn out.
"Brother, go slowly, why bother?" The city gate chief hurriedly stopped him with a wry smile, "Brother, come with me." ”
He led Niu Dazhuang to the door openly, picked up the horsewhip he used during the day and said, "Brother Niu, I have offended." ”
After that, he swaggered and dragged Niu Dazhuang out of the door, and after going out, he flew up and kicked Niu Dazhuang's buttocks.
Niu Dazhuang cooperated with a miserable scream and fell into a rolling gourd.
Syllable!
The sound of the whip sounding scary, it was actually only whipped on the ground.
"Get out! This is just a small punishment, if you are lazy, you will not be spared! The chief of the gates spoke in a loud voice, and when he had finished speaking, he spat on the ground and went back.
"Yes, yes, the grass people don't dare anymore, don't dare anymore." Niu Dazhuang's eyes were dull and cowardly, as always, like a stupid big man who was easy to bully.
Amid the gloating sneering glances of the occasional passerby, he got up and patted his buttocks, and ran with his head bowed to the settlement reserved for refugees.
But I am still very satisfied, the city gate chief is really a Han, otherwise there is no need to bother to act in this drama to make him leave more safely.
The chief of the city gate, who returned home, was also satisfied...... The opportunity to kick each other's ass and take a small revenge will never be there again.
Reaching out to lift the curtain, the mother-in-law in the kitchen was staring at the two horseshoe blonde in a daze, and there was a shallow tooth mark on the gold......
"Silly woman, hide the gold! Take out the wine I have hidden, and let's have a good drink with each other today. ”
Cui Niang obviously hadn't reacted yet, and said in a daze: "What's the matter, but what's wrong?" ”
"Less nonsense!" The city gate chief slapped her ass excitedly, "Lao Tzu is going to do something big!" ”
