"Hmph, once Han Xin's 30,000 troops came out, how could General Huangfu sit idly by and ignore it!" Helan Chang'an continued to retort.
"How does the general think General Huangfu will choose between Yecheng and Zuozhen?" Mr. Yao said with a slight shake of his head.
Helan Changan, after Mr. Yao appeared, put Mr. Yao under house arrest. However, just putting him under house arrest in the house instead of directly killing Yao Guangxiao is enough to explain the problem.
What's more, Helan Chang'an not only placed Yao Guangxiao under house arrest instead of directly killing Yao Guangxiao, but he also filled him with news about Yao Guangxiao.
Helan Changan sent a servant to look after Yao Guangxiao, and he was also a servant of his ancestors for several generations, which shows that he valued Yao Guangxiao.
And these are enough for Yao Guangxiao.
This has shown that even though Helan Changan is still biting and not letting go, it is just the last stubbornness to win more chips. Helan Changan's attitude had actually already softened.
And Huangfu Wugui had no idea that the attitude of Helan Changan had relaxed. According to normal circumstances, if Helan Changan was willing to resist desperately, even if the military morale was turbulent because of the loss of Yecheng, With the negligible difference in strength between the attacking and defending sides, they can definitely hold out for a long time.
Therefore, according to normal circumstances, Huangfu Wugui would most likely take care of the Yecheng side first.
In the ancient context, it was very difficult to attack a city. If you wanted to capture a city, you would have to use human lives to fill it.
For example, after their victory in the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei and Sun Quan immediately launched the Battle of Nanjun: 50,000 Sun Quan and Liu coalition forces led by Zhou Yu and Liu Bei attacked Jiangling City where Cao Ren was stationed with only a few thousand troops, but Cao Ren still resisted. It took a year to attack with 50,000 troops.
Of course, there was a steady stream of Cao soldiers coming from the north for reinforcements, but just a few thousand troops could withstand an attack of 50,000 troops for a year, which is enough to illustrate the importance of an excellent general in the defense of the city.
It was precisely because of Cao Ren's existence that he could block so many troops with so few soldiers. Of course, the generals of the Sun-Liu coalition were not vegetarians, but they still could not defeat them, which shows how difficult it is to attack the city.
"The Art of War" by Sun Tzu says: "The first step is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, and the third is to attack the city. The method of attacking a city is as a last resort."
Even Sun Tzu, the sage of war, said this, which shows how difficult siege warfare was in ancient wars. The more famous a general is, the less willing he is to engage in such a siege. Even those famous generals will have extremely limited means in a siege battle.
"Besides, General Wen Zhong has led his troops to attract Huangfu Wugui's soldiers and horses. If it is false, it is true, and if it is true, it is false. The general thought that Huangfu Wugui would take risks!" Yao Guangxiao said with a soft smile again.
Although Wen Zhong didn't have many troops at his disposal, he did have an elite force called the Black Cavalry. The more than 10,000 cavalry in Huangfu Wugui's hands suffered heavy losses in Han Xin's last-ditch battle. During the retreat, they were dumped by Meng Wu who came from behind. Now there are not many left.
Therefore, although Wen Zhong has few soldiers, he is still a big threat to Huangfu Wugui.
"General Helan, the dynasty's nobles and nobles sing at court and sing at night. The wine ponds and meat forests are full of evil deeds. Officials are increasingly corrupt and it is difficult for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. The general is a talented general, so why bother to be a court hawk anymore."
"Besides, Your Majesty is also a blood relative of the royal family and has the late emperor's decree. General, why don't you abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side to pacify the false dynasty for the people of the world, rebuild the world, and stabilize the world!" Yao Guangxiao persuaded again.
"Otherwise, if we wait for General Han to break the city..."
Han Xin's troops have arrived, and Yao Guangxiao must force Helan Chang'an when he should.
Strength is the greatest confidence. Before Han Xin's troops arrived, Yao Guangxiao could only offer kind words to Helan Chang'an. However, once Han Xin's troops arrived, Yao Guangxiao's waist and liver could really harden.
"Mr. Yao, my Helan family can submit to the Northern Emperor, but my husband should be regarded as a meritorious minister and needs the position of General of the Military Guard!" A female voice sounded from behind the screen.
Beidi means Huangfu Mingze. The two emperors of Da Cang stood side by side and confirmed to each other that they were orthodox. Huangfu Mingze was called the Northern Emperor, while Huangfu Mingzhao was respected as the Southern Emperor to directly distinguish the two of them.
For people like Yao Guangxiao, Leng Yueru didn't want to go around and around him. This person was really too smart. Instead of going around and around, which was the other person's strength, he would eventually get himself involved.
Therefore, for smart people, Leng Yueru is more willing to talk openly with him. Tell them the conditions most directly.
General Wuwei, a fourth-grade forbidden army general, is commanded by General Wei. Usually, a certain number of military guard generals are appointed as deputy generals under the generals who lead the guards to jointly protect the safety of the imperial city.
A fourth-grade general did not meet Helan Changan and Leng Yueru's best psychological expectations. Helan Changan and Leng Yueru actually wanted to be a marching general at the beginning.
After all, if their troops surrender, Hebei Province can be said to be a foregone conclusion. With this credit, although the position of general of the march is important, they may not be able to fight for it.
However, Yao Guangxiao's tone of voice was too stubborn, and they simply could not get such an important position. After all, not to mention that Hebei Province has not yet been captured, even if it is really captured, they only have two roads. How could they be willing to give a position like a marching general to someone so easily.
Huangfu Mingze would not be willing, and Wang Yu would be even less willing. Hebei Road is the place where Wang Yu left his base. If Wang Yu gave Helan Chang'an the marching general of Hebei Road, wouldn't he be making himself uncomfortable?
Therefore, it was certainly impossible for Yao Guangxiao to agree and make his master uncomfortable, and in the end he would make himself uncomfortable.
The most important thing is that in this position, even if Wang Yu has sent a letter to Yao Guangxiao, he can act easily. However, Yao Guangxiao is still not qualified to make the decision in this position.
"General Wuwei?" Yao Guangxiao had a slight headache.
This position must be considered special. After all, he is considered a general of the emperor's personal soldiers. It is not easy for him to make a commitment to this position.
Yao Guangxiao initially planned to use a fourth-grade virtual general to send the opponent away. However, looking at this, the opponent was probably about to reach the bottom line.
"In that case, I would like to congratulate General Hua Lan on his promotion in advance!" Yao Guangxiao said respectfully with both hands.
When Wang Yu acted cheaply before, he was referring to the fourth rank. Although General Wuwei, the fourth rank, was a bit special, Yao Guang Xiaoquan just pretended not to know.
Hebei Road, it’s been delayed long enough!
