Guyun County.
Although Zhang Jin led his troops to attack the city, it was a feint attack. But he also tried his best. The soldiers he led were a ragtag group of people, and of course they did not capture Guyun City.
And after only attacking for one day, he gave up. Although they are a mob, these strong men are potential stocks who are not afraid of death.
It would be a shame to let them die here.
It is better to wait for the general's side to succeed. The two sides will join together and capture Guyun County easily.
then. Zhang Jin Mingjin retreated his troops, like a turtle shell, he took all the soldiers back, closed the door, and remained motionless.
This made the important people in the city feel surprised, happy, and arrogant.
County government. In a room, there is a small, square table. Although it may not look like a small table, the wood and workmanship used are excellent.
On the wine table, there were eight dishes, almost filling the table. The county magistrate Zhou Shu, the county prime minister Hu Zhi, the commanders Xu Min and Lu Gu separated themselves into one side and ate and drank happily.
There were four beautiful and graceful maidservants around, and there was a large stove not far away, which provided warmth to the room and made everyone's faces blush.
"There is a saying that is really good. It looks like it is made of gold, but if you pierce it, it is just a piece of shit. That Wu Nian is notorious for killing five Mongolian and Yuan thousand captains. I think it is an exaggeration."
Zhou Shu picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. The hot taste made his face redder and brighter. After putting down the wine glass, he picked up the chopsticks again, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, and put it in his mouth. It melted in your mouth, so good. Eat a lot.
Wu Nian's formation killed five Mongolian and Yuan thousand captains. In fact, the Mongolian people did not say anything about this incident, but it was just a rumor among the people.
Now they can defend the city with only two thousand people, and Wu Nian has not yet attacked the city. They had reason to suspect that Wu Nian's evil reputation was blown out of proportion.
The pewter spear head looks good but useless.
"Yeah. Who doesn't know how to brag? The key is to have strength. This Wu Nianzhong doesn't like, he is just an ordinary thief leader."
The county magistrate Hu Zhizhi took off the big cloak from his back and handed it to the maidservant to hold, and said with a smile.
Two literati looked down upon a hero who dared to fight the Mongolians with real swords and spears. Xu Min and Lu Gu felt a little uncomfortable.
But they also had to admit that Wu Nian might really be a pewter spear head.
And no matter what. It would be great to be able to keep the city.
"Well said, now is a world where strength is king. Just like me, Xu Min, I was just a humble warrior at first, but now I am a captain of thousands. Let's drink to the great world of Meng Yuan."
Xu Min nodded heavily, picked up the wine glass and said.
The old order was broken and the new order was filled with vitality. Everyone present was able to achieve prosperity and wealth through the kindness of the Meng Yuan people.
The great age of Meng Yuan, the prosperous age of Meng Yuan.
It must be prosperous and long-lasting.
"Well said. For the prosperous age of Meng Yuan." Lu Gu laughed loudly and picked up the wine glass boldly. Linghu Zhi and Zhou Shu had no wine in their glasses, but they had to drink it. The two of them were busy pouring their own wine. Four wine glasses collided in the air, and the wine spilled, as if it was the blood and sweat of young people.
The four of them were very excited and drank the cup together.
"Come, come, come. Eat food, eat food." It was too spicy to drink wine, so Linghu Zhi quickly called on everyone to join them in eating.
Just then, the ominous person came. A fast horse stopped in the south of the city. After negotiating with the people in the city, the knight went up in a hanging basket.
Soon after, he was helped into the room.
"What's going on?" The four people in Zhou Shu looked at the man kneeling on the ground in front of them, panting. He was half awake from the wine and his whole body felt cold.
"No. I have to put it back on." Linghuzhi snatched his cloak from the maid's arms, put it on, and tied it up, but he still couldn't help trembling.
The other party came from Shanguang County and claimed to have something important to report.
Could it be that something happened in Shanguang County?
As the saying goes, whatever you fear will come to you. The man nodded repeatedly and said: "In our county, we received news that Guyun County was attacked and in danger. General Liu refused to listen to dissuasion and came to rescue. Our county magistrate was worried that this was a trick, so he sent a villain to take a look."
The four people were stunned. This was obviously a trap.
It's not that they are too smart, but that they are all doing well in Guyun County, so there is nothing at stake.
"What did you say?!!!" Linghu Zhi rushed over with a strong step, grabbed the man's collar with both hands, and lifted the man up.
Liu Chong was his brother-in-law and a brave and skilled general. He and Liu Chong were both prosperous and devastated. If anything happens to Liu Chong.
Linghuzhi's hands were starting to feel cold now.
"It's true. Everything I said is true," the man said quickly.
"It's over." Linghuzhi's eyesight went dark, he staggered to the stool and sat down, lost in thought.
"It's over." The other three were not much better and sat back one after another, feeling lost.
Even a normal person can see Wu Nian's layout. If that was a trap, then it was not the main force of Beishan Fort who attacked them, and Wu Nian was not outside.
The elite soldiers of Beishan Fort must be concentrated in Shanguang County. If Liu Chong dies, the county seat cannot be saved. Wu Nian should return to Guyun City.
They no longer dare to be arrogant and can only tremble.
Facing Beishan Fort's sub-par military strength, they had a hard time defending. If Wu Nian comes, then they have no chance of winning.
Several people looked at each other and had ideas, but they didn't say them out.
"Should we abandon the city and flee?"
After all, they were considered number one, and they did not flee in a hurry because of this unfounded incident.
Maybe this isn't Wu Nian's trap?
after one day. noon.
County government office, in the same room. The maids are gone, and so are the food and drinks. Only the stove was still burning, and another one was added.
But even two stoves couldn't bring any warmth to the four of them. Whether it was Linghu Zhi, whose brother-in-law died, or the other three, they all felt that there was a dark cloud hanging over their heads.
Thunder will fall anytime and anywhere and burn them to ashes.
"Wu Nian really succeeded. Lu Guangzhi was like a piece of paper, and he invaded the city. We absolutely cannot resist it. Run now. Abandon the city and leave."
Although Xu Min was a military general and a hero among the Han people, his voice could not stop trembling and his eyes were full of fear.
Others are no better. It's hard to imagine that just a day ago, they were drinking wine, warming themselves by the fire, and talking shamelessly.
Wu Nian is a man of gold and jade, but the outside is ruined and the inside is broken.
If you pierce the golden skin on the outside, there will be dog shit on the inside.
Without any hesitation, they immediately decided to run away. But they did not choose to notify others, nor did they plan to leave during the day.
They wanted to take advantage of darkness, take their families and more than 2,000 soldiers and leave quietly.
But can they get away?
