Chapter 889: Dilemma
"Bastard!"
Guo Jia couldn't help but slap the table hard.
Just now, Guo Jia received bad news.
Three days ago, Cao Cao took Xiahou Yuan as the striker, and went to Merge the State by a clear detour, but suddenly made a detour behind his back.
Sheguo is the west gate of Wei County, and laying Sheguo is equivalent to opening up the passage to Ye County.
After taking the country, Cao Cao's army was able to drive straight into the city of Ye County.
This time he couldn't catch off guard, and Xu Shu could only shrink his forces and trap Ye County.
Although there are garrisons in Qinghe Kingdom and Bohai County, they can't quench their thirst from far away, and Cao Cao came prepared, bringing a lot of siege equipment, and Ye County is in danger.
Once Ye County is broken, Yunzhou is in danger of being attacked from both sides.
Guo Jia pressed his temple.
Cao Cao must have colluded with Xu Bugu, so he took this opportunity to attack Jizhou.
Miscalculated!
Guo Jia has always focused on Xu Bugu's body, and ignored this traitorous male Cao Apu.
If this traitor doesn't do something, I'm really sorry for his identity.
But then again, Guo Jia never thought that Cao Cao would collude with the Huns to deal with Yunzhou.
It seems that for the sake of profit, this later Emperor Wei Wu didn't even want to be disciplined.
Now that the army is tight, Guo Jia can't come up with troops to support Jizhou, and he can only hope that Xu Shu and Yu Ban can hold on.
At this moment, a Tiger Guard came to report in a panic.
"General, no, the Huns have begun to attack the city?"
The Sulpgu is besieging the city?
Hearing this news, Guo Jia immediately established the fact that Cao Cao and the Huns were colluding.
Cao Cao's side had just raided Jizhou, and the Xu Bu bone here began to attack the city. To say that there is no collusion, fools don't believe it.
Very good!
Guo Jia also held his breath.
"Hit, hit me hard!"
He was waiting for this moment.
In order to strengthen the defense of Lunu City, Guo Jia established four urn cities around the city and ordered Gao Shun's broken army to guard inside.
Catapults and artillery were prepared on the walls.
Although crockpot bombs cannot be used on rainy days, they do not affect the bronze artillery fixed to the castle head with covering.
As long as the Huns dared to come up, Guo Jia would not hesitate to bombard.
General!
The man suddenly said, "The Huns have taken thousands of people from nowhere, and are forcing them to approach the city?" ”
What the?
Hearing this, Guo Jia couldn't help but be taken aback.
"Where are the thousands of people?"
Hundreds of miles around Lunu, Guo Jia has already let the people settle down.
He planned to completely annihilate the Huns in a way that was clear of the wilderness.
Now that everything is ready, thousands of people suddenly appeared, how can this not surprise Guo Jia?
This......
The man couldn't speak.
He doesn't know where the people came from.
What about drama loyalty, drama loyalty?
Guo Jia shouted.
He had already asked Xi Zhong to settle the people, how could he still let the Huns catch so much?
How did Xi Zhong become a thorn in history?
At this moment, a voice came.
"Xi Zhong has received the news and hurried to the city wall."
It was Cai Yu who spoke, and she had just gotten the news.
Come on!
Guo Jia didn't think about it, and led people straight to the city wall.
He suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
……
"General Gao, you can't do it, these are all people!"
Xi Zhong pulled Gao Shun's hand and pointed at the people under the city wall.
Driven by the Huns, the people approached the city one after another.
They shouted the names of their relatives and children.
The Huns followed in their footsteps, constantly covering up the defenses around the city of Lunu.
Seeing that he was about to come to the front of the moat.
Once they filled the moat, the Huns' cavalry would be able to break through at any time.
The heavy rain continued, the bows and crossbows could not be used, and the range of the bronze cannons was too close, Gao Shun planned to destroy the Huns who were filling the moat with catapults, but was stopped by Xi Zhong.
Because the Huns let the people block the moat, if the Yunzhou army attacked, the first to die must be the people.
"Lord Thorn Shi, don't be kind to a woman!"
Gao Shun's grim face showed a moment of hesitation.
Nor is he a cold-blooded and heartless man.
In the face of so many people, Gao Shun couldn't make this move.
However, if the Huns were allowed to fill in the moat, the defenders inside the city would be under great pressure.
"General Gao!"
Xi Zhong Zhengse said: "It's not the benevolence of Xi Zhong's woman." I'm also thinking about the general. The general has always loved the people like a son, and has implemented benevolent governance for the people under his rule. If the general ordered an attack on these people. The general's reputation was ruined. ”
He paused and said, "You know, the general's ambition is not only to be the overlord. If this matter spreads, those Shilin scribes will not let go of the general. ”
This......
Gao Shun stopped talking.
What Xi Zhong said makes sense, Guo Jia will most likely be called the king and the emperor in the future.
Calling a king and an emperor requires fame.
If the news of the massacre of the people spreads today, Guo Jia's reputation as a benevolent and righteous general may be completely ruined.
You must know that those scholars have never been very cold to Guo Jia.
As soon as this incident came out, Guo Jia would definitely be discredited.
But......
Gao Shun frowned.
Can't they just watch each other attack the city just because there are people mixed up below?
If that were the case, wouldn't the sin be greater?
Xi Zhong seemed to understand his thoughts, and immediately said: "As long as you don't attack the people, you won't be truthful." We can use the stone throwing carts and artillery to let the Huns attack it, and with the strength of the captive army, we will definitely be able to hold the city. ”
In this way, the people were saved.
It was impossible for them to climb up to the city, and even if the Huns climbed up, there were warriors of the Broken Army waiting for them.
This......
Gao Shun hesitated.
This is not impossible, but it is bound to increase the casualties of the captive army.
"For the sake of the general's reputation, it's okay to sacrifice some of the captives."
Xi Zhong said earnestly.
"General!"
Gao Shun's generals are all ready, and they can enter the battle at any time, just waiting for him to give an order.
For the cruelty of the Huns, they have long had some blood in their hearts, and they can't wait for Gao Shun to order it.
Gao Shun's face was cloudy.
As the commander of the battlefield, he is in a dilemma at this moment.
If you do it now, you can certainly maintain your advantage, but the reputation of the general is not guaranteed, which will have a great impact on Guo Jia's future future.
If you don't do it, the Huns will fill the moat by default, then the Huns' cavalry will be able to break through to the city and attack the city at any time.
Once they were allowed to enter the city, the captives defending the city would be under great pressure.
To fight or not to fight?
Gao Shun was also a little undecided.
