Ningyang is one of the six counties in Sichuan and Sichuan. Due to geographical reasons, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is a certain reason why Lian Xiao chose to confront the Qin army here.
Now he still has almost 30,000 troops on hand.
Hearing that Xiao Yuan personally led the army to attack, Lian Xiao was not afraid, but someone was afraid, and that was the Ningyang County Governor.
If Lian Xiao hadn't led his troops here, he might have surrendered long ago!
At this time, his face was even more worried, and he said anxiously: "This, this, this, the Qin army is coming to attack, what should we do, general?"
"Why are you panicking!?" Lian Xiao glared at him fiercely and said, "The Qin army is coming to attack, just fight! With the danger of Ningyang and the food and grass in the county, we are enough to resist the Qin army!"
What he said was very direct, but when the Ningyang County Governor heard this, he couldn't help but grin secretly, and still said worriedly: "But the Qin army is brave and good at fighting, and now all the counties in Sichuan have fallen into Xiao Yuan's hands. Even The lord has surrendered, so what’s the point of me waiting to resist in Ningyang..."
"Shut up!" Lian Xiao glared again: "You only need to be responsible for the supply of food and grass. You don't have to worry about the war!"
He was a general in Shu. Under the scolding, the Ningyang County Sheriff couldn't help but shrink his neck and did not dare to speak any more.
A few days later, Xiao Yuan led his army to arrive, and then marched to the city.
Outside the city gate, 30,000 Qin troops formed several square formations, with flags fluttering, black armor and red tassels, overwhelming the sky and the earth, and the military appearance was extremely vigorous.
Seeing the Qin army's camp filled with chilling aura, the Ningyang County Sheriff on top of the city was not only nervous, but he couldn't help but secretly look at Lian Xiao's face.
The latter's face was calm and showed no fear at all. He immediately gave the order and prepared to switch on and off to meet the enemy.
Under his military order, the tall city gate slowly opened, and then Lian Xiao personally led a large number of soldiers and ran out. Then he rode alone to the formation of the two armies and began to raise his gun and call for formation.
He is the commander-in-chief, but every time he fights, he will definitely go out to provoke and strengthen his own reputation. This also shows his high martial arts.
"Qin Jun, listen! As long as I, Lian Xiao, are here, you can't even think of entering Ningyang!"
"Who dares to come out and fight me!"
He pulled the reins slightly, held the silver gun in his hand, and kept shouting, but at this moment, Xiao Yuan walked out leisurely with an old woman.
Seeing this scene, Lian Xiao's screams suddenly stopped, and his eyes widened as if he couldn't believe it.
After Xiao Yuan stood still, he shouted: "Lian Xiao! Look who this is!"
"Xiao'er..." The old woman also started shouting at this time.
"Mother!!" Lian Xiao was shocked, and yelled first, followed by raging anger!
His eyes were about to burst, he pointed the silver gun at Xiao Yuan, gritted his teeth and said:
"Xiao Yuan! Traitor! What kind of hero can you be when you act like a villain?"
He couldn't help but slightly tugging on the reins. The horse was trampling back and forth on the spot. The expression on his face looked more like he wanted to eat Xiao Yuan alive. But his mother was in the opponent's hands, so he couldn't dare to act rashly.
"Thief Xiao! How shameless! How dare you duel with me!"
He continued to grit his teeth and shout. When Xiao Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but look up and smile.
He was the master, how could he challenge Lian Xiao to a duel with a fierce general? In fact, he had no intention of threatening his mother at all, but his laughter, in Lian Xiao's eyes, undoubtedly made the latter misunderstand her even more.
"Damn the thief!!" The latter continued to stare and grit his teeth.
Xiao Yuan did not explain, but withdrew his gaze, looked at Lian Mu, smiled slightly and said: "I have wronged the old lady for not being able to entertain you thoughtfully these days, so I won't send it to you, please."
"Thank you." Lian's mother said sincerely, nodded, and walked toward Lian Xiao with a cane.
When the latter saw this, he immediately became very nervous and his eyes widened.
It wasn't until Lian's mother reached the center of the two armies that he dared to step forward in a hurry, then turned over and dismounted, kneeling directly on the ground: "Mom! The child is unfilial!"
Even though Lian Xiao looks fierce on the battlefield, he is extremely filial.
Seeing this, Lian's mother helped him up: "Get up quickly."
"Mom..." Lian Xiao shouted again, and then said fearfully: "Are you okay? Xiao Thief..."
"Hey? Mom, it's okay. You misunderstood Lord Qin." Lian's mother waved her hand slightly.
Hearing this, Lian Xiao was stunned at first, but now that the enemy was facing him, how could he dare to stay here after picking up his mother? He couldn't help but said: "Mom, let's go back to the city first."
As he spoke, he hurriedly helped his old mother return to the city.
The city gate was closed again. Seeing this, Xiao Yuan also waved his hand: "Let's withdraw our troops first."
The Qin army retreated and entered the city.
Lian Xiao still had lingering fears. He thought it was over when his mother was by Xiao Yuan's side before, but now he was finally safe and returned safely. You can imagine how he felt.
In the hall, all the generals also gathered together and paid tribute to the old lady one after another. Lian Xiao also began to ask questions about them.
"Huang Songyuan wanted to kill me, Lord Qin just saved me..."
Then, Lian Mu told what happened one by one.
After everyone heard this, they were all a little embarrassed. Lian Xiao was even dumbfounded. In his eyes, Xiao Yuan was a vicious thief. How could he save his mother? And he personally escorted his mother here?
He said blankly: "Mom, this, this..."
"Hey." Lian's mother sighed softly and said faintly: "My mother has been in contact with the Lord of Qin before. If nothing else is said, there is one thing he said that is right. With the arrogance of the Lord of Shu, even if Qin does not attack Shu, Shu will also perish, and when the time comes, it may be a bloody massacre if it is captured by other countries.”
What she said was true. This old woman was very knowledgeable. When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other. Lian Xiao said, "But..."
"Rather than perish, it would be better to let the Lord Ming rule. Wouldn't it be better for the people of Shu?" Lian's mother said again.
Understanding what she meant, Lian Xiao wondered: "But mother, loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma since ancient times. As a general of the Shu army..."
But before he finished speaking, Lian Mu raised her hand slightly: "This has nothing to do with loyalty and filial piety. My son, haven't you always thought that there is no clear master? What about now?"
"What do you mean, mother, let me surrender to Xiao Yuan?" Lian Xiao asked with a frown.
"Hey, surrender. In this way, the war in Shu will be quelled, which is what the people want to see most. There is no doubt that Lord Qin's aspirations and actions are much higher than Huang Songyuan's. This is a good thing for Shu. ." Lian Mu said.
"But!" Lian Xiao still couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
At this time, the other generals couldn't bear it anymore.
Someone said: "General! What the old lady said makes sense. Now that Yizhou has surrendered, it is meaningless for us to be trapped in Ningyang. The soldiers below do not know why they are fighting."
"Yes, general, and Huang Songyuan wants to kill the old lady. He has regarded the general as a traitor, but he surrendered. What is going on!"
