Xiruo Zandhuo stood on the top of the city and saw the Han army suddenly withdrawing its troops. He was confused and asked Garlei behind him: "What was the situation just now?"
"There were casualties on each other, but fortunately we have not slacked off today. The general also always thought that they might make a surprise attack tonight, so we were fully prepared and the enemy did not succeed."
Someone behind him said angrily: "What are the intentions of these cunning Han troops? Marshal, I am willing to lead a wave of troops out of the city to meet the enemy."
"Hmph! No need!" Xiruozandra waved his hand, "The time has not come yet, let's take a look first before talking."
Seeing that the torch in the distance had gradually faded away, and then there was no spark at all, Xiruozandra breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the time, it was already the fourth watch. Garlei and others looked at the commander pacing back and forth in front of the city with his hands behind his back, and they all became very nervous. They were like frightened birds, afraid that the Han army would suddenly appear again, although they all knew that the waves of attacks by the Han army were just It's tentative, but no one can guarantee that once we relax, the other party will be caught off guard and it will be too late.
Garlei said: "Marshal, why don't we call in the group of thieves who surrendered in Fengji Mountain tomorrow and let them defend the city for us?"
Xiruozandra stopped, thought for a moment, and then shook his head, "But what if I'm afraid that these bandits will suddenly switch sides?"
"Marshal's worries are overblown! They are grass bandits and are already guilty of a capital crime. This will do them no good."
"Okay, send more people tomorrow and let Lu Xiuyuan and Qin Fu come to defend the city." Xi Ruozhanzhuo snorted coldly, "If we die, they must die first!" After that, he stopped on the city wall again and looked towards Yuanzhuo. Looking everywhere, it was still dark outside the city. "These Han people are really cunning. It doesn't matter if they make people sleep or not sleep."
At this time, the subordinates clasped their fists and said, "Marshal, you should go and rest first! As long as we are here, it will be fine."
Xiruozandra looked outside the city and then at the tired-looking generals around him. He took a long breath and still felt a little worried.
At this moment, a soldier suddenly shouted: "Look, the torch over there is on again." Then someone shouted, "It's the flag of the Han army. They are coming to attack the city again. Get ready..."
When Xiruozandhuo and other generals were lying on the arrow stack, they saw, as expected, that the enemy's position was already an arrow away, so he quickly ordered: "The first line of defense archers are ready..."
At this time, the archers of the Tibetan army were ready. Xiruozandra gave an order, and in an instant arrows rained down and shot toward the fire. At this time, I also heard the roar of killing and the thundering of war drums from the Han army.
After a long time, they saw that the torch was still motionless in the distance, and it seemed that it was not moving forward. Garlei and others also found that something was wrong, so they asked the marshal: "Marshal, do you think the other party has no intention of dispatching?" , as if they were always where they were.”
Xiro Zandhuo also confirmed his inner opinion, "It seems that the other party is just raising suspicion and has no intention of attacking the city. Quickly give the order and stop firing arrows."
The archers on the Tibetan army have stopped shooting arrows, and the Han army on the other side of the city has also ceased its activities, and all the fires have been extinguished.
Garlei cursed several times in succession, "These cunning Han thieves are too blunt. They attack whenever they want. It's really torturous to do so many tricks."
Like this all night long, the Han army attacked and harassed them repeatedly, sometimes pretending to attack by beating drums in the distance, and sometimes riding ladders to attack the city, which made the Tibetan army exhausted.
At noon the next day, Xiruo Zanzhuocai convened a meeting with the generals at the Shanzhou government office for discussion. The subordinates also expressed their opinions on what happened last night, but Xiruozandra was not satisfied. So he asked: "Has the leader of the thieves from Fengji Mountain been invited?"
The subordinate replied: "He's already here. Where is the latter outside the mansion?"
"welcome……"
A moment later, outside the hall, a man with a heavy back and a full mouth was walking slowly into the hall. There was a Tibetan soldier in front of him who respectfully guided him. That man was Qin, the second master of Fengji Mountain. Fu is also Lu Zuo's master, but this relationship involves one of his own, and others don't know about it.
Qin Fu came to the hall and hugged Xiruo Zanzhuo, "Qin Fu has seen the marshal!"
The Tibetan generals sitting on the left and right were a little unhappy when they saw that Qin Fu was so rude and did not kneel down to salute the marshal. They whispered to each other and were about to say something to him. He held up his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then walked down to the hall, clasped his fists at Qin Fu and said, "Chief Qin, I invite you here today. I also have something to ask for your help..."
"What's the matter? Tell me!" Qin Fu said with great determination, without looking at him.
Garlei was so angry that he stood up and pointed at Qin Fu and said angrily: "You..."
Xiruo Chanzhuo waved his hand to Garlei resolutely, motioning him to sit down, and then continued to look at Qin Fu with a pleasant look, saying: "Ever since I conquered Shanzhou, someone told me that the terrain of Fengji Mountain is dangerous. He controlled many good men, all of whom were good at literature and martial arts. Two of their leaders were even more skilled in martial arts. They had tens of thousands of followers. Over the years, the government had conducted campaigns several times, but not only failed to destroy them, but suffered heavy losses many times. I learned the news at that time. , the first thing I want to do is to recruit the heroes from An Fengji Mountain. Such a powerful team, even the Han Dynasty cannot accommodate him..."
Qin Fu didn't wait for him to finish, and said, "So what?"
Xiruo Zanzhuo saw that he was extremely efficient and did not want to beat around the bush, "So I want to raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. I hope that the Qin leader can lead your men to defend the city together like he did in Fengji Mountain. When the time comes, I will give it to those who don't know what to do." Look at the colors of the Han army."
"This..." Qin Fu looked embarrassed.
"What? Is it inconvenient?"
Qin Fu saw Xi Ruozanzhuo's expression change, and when he was about to get angry, he smiled and replied: "It's not that it's inconvenient, but Marshal you promised us at that time that you would let us manage Shanzhou. How come months have passed and there is still no sign that the marshal can fulfill his promise?”
Xi Ruozanzhuo laughed loudly after hearing this, and was secretly happy. Sure enough, he was still a bandit, and a small bait could deceive them. Since they had a purpose, it was easy to solve it, "It's not like Leader Qin didn't know, then We made a promise at that time, as long as we can capture Lanzhou, we will let you go to Shanzhou."
"Qin came here today, just waiting for your words. Since the marshal said so, and everyone here is a witness, then marshal, tell me, when will we send people over?"
"Better this afternoon!"
"Okay..." Qin Fu readily agreed, "If the marshal has nothing else to do, then I will discuss with our head of the family who to send here."
"Okay!" Xiruozandhuo nodded, "Then I'll wait for your good news! Someone, please send it to Leader Qin."
All the generals in the hall burst out laughing when they saw Qin Fu disappearing into the government office!
