The left wing fortress and the central army's headquarters.
Bei Yan was sitting on the main seat with an unusually serious expression on his face.
He hadn't slept a wink all day.
Normally, I would definitely take a break in the afternoon.
But now it is late at night, and there is still no sleepiness.
All because of the Han army surrounding him outside the fortress!
Although it is said to be a siege, it is not actually a siege. It is just that there are troops stationed in both directions of the fortress.
The left-wing fortress was built on the mountain, with mountains on both sides and access roads on both sides.
Therefore, it can also be regarded as a siege.
However, the Han army was not very well-prepared. Otherwise, how could Beiyan send out soldiers to ask for help?
But therein lies the problem.
It would be nice if there were layers of siege so that not even an ant could fly out.
That way Beiyan wouldn't have to send anyone for help, let alone expect others to come to rescue him.
Fortunately, people were sent out and came back, and the reinforcements didn't see a single shadow at all.
The soldiers who went to Xiangping City for help had come back long ago, and they also brought back Gongsun Kang's response.
Hold on, hold on, and fight the Han army to the end!
When Bei Yan heard the news, he smashed everything in the commander's tent to pieces.
The anger was soaring that I couldn't control it at all.
This is obviously his plan to give up!
Fight to the end with the Han army, fight to the last man, and then be loyal to Gongsun Kang?
Don't say that Beiyan doesn't have this kind of heart, even if he has this kind of heart, he will be cold!
How can there be such a monarch?
But after the anger, there is depression.
Being abandoned, what should we do next?
The Han army has no attack and no need to attack.
As long as the stalemate lasts for more than a month, the left-wing fortress will collapse without attack.
When the time comes, there is no need to do anything about Beiyan. The hungry and crazy soldiers will sacrifice Beiyan and surrender.
If the Han army is determined to attack, the city will be broken even faster!
Beiyan can already count down his own life.
Snapped.
At this moment, the handsome tent door was opened, and a soldier walked in quickly.
"Bad general!"
Bei Yan raised his head, with a hint of color in his eyes.
"But has news come back from Wang Lie?"
The soldier was stunned and shook his head in frustration.
"General Bei, no, the soldiers who went to Xiangping City to ask for help have returned."
"oh?"
Bei Yan stood up directly.
After getting Gongsun Kang's reply, he was very dissatisfied, sent soldiers again, and made a sharp request.
I have told Gongsun Kang both inside and outside the words.
If you don't save him, then no wonder Beiyan is unfaithful.
Bei Yan wanted to use this as a threat to ask Gongsun Kang to send troops to rescue him.
At this moment, when the soldiers were ordered to return, Beiyan couldn't help but have hope.
"How's it going? What did Mr. Zhou Mu say?"
The soldier looked grim.
"General, Lord Zhou Mu said, let the general fend for himself."
"Lord Zhou Mu also warned the general not to forget the military order he issued."
"What did you say!"
Beiyan stared, his anger rising to the sky.
It’s okay if there is no rescue, but he is still threatening!
This is really unreasonable!
"Damn it, damn it!"
"General, calm down!"
"Calm down your anger? How do you ask me to calm down my anger!"
Bei Yan glanced around and found nothing to break, which made him even more angry.
"I am working very hard for the Gongsun family, but what about Gongsun Kang? He just ignored me when he saw that I was in dire straits!"
"Tell me, does this make sense?"
The soldier is just a small person, how can he dare to talk about Zhou Mu?
When faced with questioning, he could only lower his head and keep silent.
After Bei Yan vented his anger, he felt a little more comfortable and no longer embarrass the soldier.
"Is there any news from Wang Lie?"
The soldier shook his head again.
"General Qi, no... no..."
"Why..."
Bei Yan sighed softly.
"This general has already guessed this ending."
"Then Wang Lie usually dislikes me. How could he save me at this time?"
"I'm afraid he wishes he would die without a burial place!"
The soldier didn't know what to say, so he could only express relief.
"General, maybe General Wang is also in danger..."
"After all, after three batches of reinforcements were requested, not even one person came back..."
Bei Yan waved his hand feebly.
Bei Yan didn't care whether he came back or not, and he didn't even bother to ask.
Things have reached this point, and it has completely become a desperate situation!
The soldier did not leave, but summoned up the courage to look at Bei Yan.
"General, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not..."
Bei Yan shook his head slightly. Needless to say, he knew what the soldier wanted to say.
"No, my family is all in Xiangping City. If I surrender, my whole family, old and young, will be killed!"
"There is no need to mention this matter again, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The word surrender is like a plague.
Once it spreads, the consequences will be disastrous.
Although Bei Yan was irritable, he was not confused yet. He would not commit suicide even if he was killed.
"General, you misunderstood!"
Xiao Bing shook his head in denial.
"How dare you persuade the general to surrender? I just don't want the general to wait for death here."
"oh?"
Bei Yan raised his head and became slightly more interested.
"Go on."
"General, although this is a place of death, general, it may not be a dead end!"
"As long as we leave here, won't there be a way to survive?"
The soldier's words made Beiyan become solemn unconsciously.
If you stay, you will die, if you leave, you will live?
"You mean, let me abandon the left-wing fortress?"
"good!"
Xiao Bing nodded heavily and admitted.
"The general can lead his troops to break out of the encirclement and go straight to Xiangping City."
"At that time, there will be no shortage of food and grass, no worries about the way out, and there will be a large army to rely on. Wouldn't it be beautiful?"
Beiyan blinked and re-examined the soldiers in front of him.
This kind of strategy completely exceeded his expectations.
An ordinary soldier could have such insight!
"Abandon the city and flee... Well, this method is good, but what about the Han army outside the city?"
The corners of Xiaobing's mouth turned up, showing a hint of confidence.
"General, you are worrying too much! Just imagine, we sent out messengers many times, but didn't they all leave safely?"
"This shows that there are certain loopholes in the Han general's blockade, or in other words, there is no blockade at all!"
