Gao Jun actually knew this in his heart, but experience told him that he must be reserved and not act too hastily. He directly made his own decision to let them enter the city. On the one hand, it was suspicious, and on the other hand, it was not worthy to bear the responsibility alone, so he gave up to Fang Jianzhi. Asked: "Chief Fang, do you think we should open the city to accept their surrender?"
Fang Jianzhi was very embarrassed, "Marshal, it's up to you to make the decision!"
"Hey! In other words, you, Governor Fang, are one of Lanzhou Chen's parents. Of course it is up to you to decide whether to open the city or not."
"But..." Fang Jianzhi always seemed to feel that something was wrong, "But they have come to surrender to you, Marshal. How can Xiaguan take the initiative? I don't know if Marshal wants to recruit them. If so, Xiaguan will naturally open the city. If No, I will definitely close the city and not open it."
Gao Yun looked at Lu Zuo, who nodded, and then said: "The governor Fang also saw it. Chen Tuizhi and others played a major role in catching the spy this time. This shows that he is sincere. Besides, our current team We are short of soldiers, so it is a good thing that they come to surrender, oh! No! It should be a good thing that comes in pairs!" After saying this, he laughed.
Fang Jianzhi smiled and nodded, "In that case, let's open the city." So he ordered to go down and open the city.
Pang Gu pointed to Zhang De and Xu Wuyou who were kneeling on the ground and asked Gao Yun, "What about these two people?"
"Take him to the prison and keep him under guard. I'll fix the book and tell the emperor what happened today, and then we'll deal with it."
In the lobby of the Lanzhou government office, Gao Jun was sitting. Fang Jianzhi and Lu Zuo sat beside him. Yin Ji and Pang Gu stood behind him. They specially asked Chen Tuizhi to meet in the lobby of the government office.
After a while, Chen Tuizhi was led by two yamen servants to the center of the hall. When he saw Gao Yun sitting upright in the hall, he felt more and more official and funny. However, seeing that there was Fang Jianzhi, the governor of Lanzhou, in the hall, he still held back. Chen Tuizhi knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Chen Tuizhi, a common man, pays homage to the Generalissimo."
Although Gao Jun also found it funny, the play was still well acted, so he said sternly: "Chen Tuizhi, do you know your guilt?"
"The common people are guilty!"
"Then tell me, what crimes have you committed?"
"The common people made the mistake of committing a murder and running away privately. They should not have gathered in Xiaoshan Forest to rob homes and rob houses." Chen Tuizhi changed the topic and argued, "But the people the common people killed back then were corrupt officials, and the people they robbed were all powerful and evil gentry. .”
Gao Jun nodded and said: "Well... seeing that you have a good attitude in pleading guilty and have caught the enemy's spies, you are the biggest contributor to this, so I am pardoning your innocence. This Western Expedition is in short supply of good generals, so I will grant you the title for the time being. As a cavalry captain, I will allow you to make meritorious deeds."
Chen Tuizhi was grateful, "Thank you, Marshal!"
After having lunch that day, Gao Yun and others led Chen Tuizhi and the troops he brought to the camp outside the city. After reorganizing Chen Tuizhi's troops that afternoon, they gathered again in Gao Yun's commander's tent. .
Several people were talking and laughing in the account. It seemed that this time it was very successful. I didn't expect that the spy would be caught overnight. Just as Gao Yun and others were laughing with satisfaction, Lu Zuo said: "Now is not the time to be happy. We haven't found Wei Nuo's whereabouts yet!"
Pang Gu rubbed his hands and said, "Damn it, he's running pretty fast, but don't let me catch him, or I'll have to crush his head."
Yin Ji asked Master, "Master, do you think he will go to Shanzhou now?"
Lu Zuo frowned. "It shouldn't be possible. Now that the two soldiers are fighting and the city gate is closed, it is impossible to get out of Lanzhou City. The only possibility now is that he should still capture it somewhere."
Gao Yun said: "Since we are still in the city, it is Fang Jianzhi's business. Let's talk about our own affairs first! Brother, do you want our army to set off now?"
"It's getting late now, so it's not too late to start tomorrow." Lu Zuo said, "We can reach Shanzhou in about one day tomorrow, and we can tentatively attack the city the day after tomorrow."
In the early morning of the next day, the army set off and marched out of Lanzhou towards Shanzhou. The army set up camp twenty miles away from Shanzhou. After a night's rest, until dawn the next day, they bury the pot and make rice.
Here in Shanzhou City, the news has been learned, and the city defenses were deployed yesterday. Before dawn, the marshal of the Great Fan Kingdom, Xiruo Zandhuo, convened a meeting of generals in the Yamen of Shanzhou Prefecture. But I saw a man with a fleshy face, a broad forehead and a high nose, wearing a golden helmet and golden armor, sitting in the lobby. That man was Xiruo Zandhuo, the marshal of the Great Fan Kingdom. There were more than a dozen people sitting on both sides of the hall. general.
Just when Xiruozandhuo was about to speak, a scout from outside the hall rushed into the hall, knelt down and reported: "Report to the marshal, the enemy camped on Hupanling, twenty miles outside the city yesterday. Make a fire and cook.”
Xiruozandra closed her eyes and showed no expression on her face, waving to Tan Ma below to signal him to go down first.
A general in the hall stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Marshal, instead of waiting here for them to come, we should take the initiative and take this opportunity to lead a group of people to kill them and give them a blow first."
After hearing this, several generals also applauded and agreed.
Xiruozandra opened her eyes slightly, stroked her short mustache with her left hand, shook her head, and said coldly: "No."
The general was stunned, "Why... is this?"
Xiruozhanzhuo did not speak and was silent for a long time. Others below did not dare to object too much. Everyone knew that although Xiruozhanzhuo was the Marshal of Tibet and the son of Dalun, he knew the art of war of the Han family very well. He also has a lot of experience in defending the city. Since the coach said not to act rashly, he must have a reason.
After a long time, Xi Ruozanzhuo suddenly stood up, and the red cloak on his back turned. He slightly raised the corner of his mouth with a half-smile, walked up to the general, and patted him gently on the shoulder. motioned him to sit down. The general looked at the coach with a blank expression. After sitting down slowly, he muttered: "Coach, this..."
Xi Ruozanzhuo then laughed and said: "Just imagine, everyone, we won their Shanzhou, and the former Xunmou was defeated. Now they are sharing the same enemy and are just waiting for us to take the initiative to leave the city. But why should we leave the city? Why do we have to go out of the city? What? Isn’t Shanzhou bad?”
Another general said: "The marshal is right. We have an indestructible city in Shanzhou, so why should we go head-to-head with them? Furthermore, Hupanling is located on a high terrain. If we take the initiative to attack Hupanling, the enemy will be condescending. If we use our advantages, wouldn’t we turn our advantages into disadvantages?”
Xiruo Zandhuo clapped his hands and said, "Yeah! That's exactly what I mean! As long as we defend the city from danger during the Han army's expedition, their morale will plummet in a few days. Moreover, 'the soldiers and horses have not moved the food and grass first', their All grain and grass transportation must pass through Lanzhou, where we have our internal response. At that time, we and the internal response made a little plan to cut off their source of food and grass." Suddenly thinking of them, he asked, "By the way, Lanzhou is now Is there any news?"
