Shangquyang, the county government hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
A guard, quickly ran into the hall, knelt on one knee, and arched his hand: "Report!" β
"An unknown army has appeared at the South City Gate."
"Looking at the direction of action, it should be from Xinshi."
"Now, the south gate should have been besieged."
Shangquyang County Order, looked at a scribe on the right: "Zhang Xiancheng, have you ever heard of what happened in Xinshi?" β
Zhang Xiancheng shook his head: "I haven't heard of it." β
Shangquyang County Order, looked at the military attache on the left: "County Lieutenant Ji, do you know what happened?" β
County Lieutenant Ji shook his head: "I don't know." β
Shangquyang County ordered and looked at the guards: "What banner is the army outside the city fighting?" β
"How many soldiers and horses are there?"
The guard arched his hand: "The flag of one is Zhang, and the flag of one is yellow." β
"Looking at the size, it's about 4,000 people."
Shangquyang County Order, after hearing it, he was stunned: "Two departments with 4,000 people? β
"Two thousand in a piece?"
"Aren't there two captains?"
"Could it be just the Vanguard?"
"And a general in the rear?"
Then he turned his head to look at County Lieutenant Ji: "Does County Captain Ji have a strategy to defend against the enemy?" β
County Lieutenant Ji shook his head: "The disparity in strength is too great. β
"There is no good way to defend against the enemy."
"Abandoning the city may be the best choice."
Shangquyang County Order, muttered for a while: "Send a fast rider and go out from the North City Gate." β
"Hurry up and go to the capital Lunu, can't you ask for help?"
County Lieutenant Ji shook his head: "I heard that there are no defenders in the capital Lunu. β
"Asking for help will definitely be fruitless."
"The subordinates think that abandoning the city is the best choice!"
Shangquyang County Order, looked at Zhang Xiancheng: "Zhang Xiancheng." β
"Please go to the whole city, and take a trip to the various families."
"Ask them for help!"
Zhang Xiancheng sighed: "If these families don't rebel, even if they do a great favor." β
"How could it possibly help us?"
Shangquyang County Order, his face remained unchanged: "It's been so long. β
"Let's try it."
Zhang Xiancheng nodded: "Okay, my subordinates have to try." β
"However, don't expect too much."
"Don't say that these families are powerful, they won't help."
"Even if they wanted to help, there wouldn't be any private soldiers."
After speaking, Zhang Xiancheng withdrew from the conference hall.
Shangquyang County Order, looked at the guard: "Okay." β
"Go down too."
The guard arched his hand: "Whew." β
With that, he withdrew from the chamber.
Shangquyang County Order, looked at County Lieutenant Ji: "County Lieutenant Ji." β
"If I'm going to stick to Quyang."
"How many days can you hold on?"
County Lieutenant Ji thought for a while: "If you're lucky, it's three or five days." β
"If you're unlucky, you won't be able to keep it for a day."
Shangquyang County Order, and then asked: "Can you let the people help defend the city?" β
County Lieutenant Ji shook his head: "What is the situation in the city?" β
"The county magistrate knows better than me."
"Let the old and weak women and children help defend the city?"
"How is that possible!"
Shangquyang County Order, sighed: "Okay." β
"Then we can only wait for the good news from Zhang Xiancheng."
Time passes slowly.
A few hours later.
Zhang Xiancheng walked into the conference hall with an expressionless face.
Shangquyang County Order, and hurriedly asked: "Zhang County Cheng." β
"What is the attitude of each family?"
"Is there anyone willing to help?"
Zhang Xiancheng took a look: "All the families are strong and powerful, and they all say that they are powerless." β
"I wanted to be a county commander before, don't expect too much."
At this moment, a guard quickly ran into the chamber.
knelt on one knee and arched his hand: "Master Qiyu County!" β
"There is another song outside the South City Gate."
"The handsome flag is the word Zhao."
"Look at the scale, about 2,000 people."
"Also, they also carried a royal flag."
Shangquyang County Order, surprised: "Wang Qi? Is this a king? β
"Where did the king master come from?"
"Could it be that King Changshan led his troops to attack?"
County Lieutenant Ji arched his hand: "Master County Order, no matter who comes to attack, abandon the city!" β
"Since it is the king's division, there must be a large number of soldiers and horses behind."
"It's too late to run!"
Shangquyang County order, stood up: "Agree to abandon the city." β
"Stand on the left side of the hall."
"If you agree to stick to it, stand on the right side of the hall."
Outside the city of Shangquyang.
Zhao Feng led the troops and observed the city defense situation in Shangquyang for a quarter of an hour.
Turning his head to Dian Wei, he said, "Dian Wei." β
"Send a herald to inform Zhang Wu and Huang Shao to come over."
Dian Wei arched his hand: "Huh." β
After speaking, he turned to the herald of the personal guard and whispered a few words.
The two heralds, receiving the order, turned and left.
Less than a cup of tea.
Zhang Wu and Huang Shao rushed to Zhao Feng one after another.
They saluted separately.
Zhao Feng said directly: "Zhong Feng, Jiewen." β
"You've been observing Shangquyang for an afternoon."
"Do you have any insights?"
Zhang Wu thought for a moment: "There are not many guards on the city wall. β
"I counted carefully, it should be around two hundred."
"Judging from this, there are not many anti-thief defenders in the city."
Zhao Feng nodded and looked at Huang Shao.
Huang Shao saw Zhao Feng looking at him and thought for a moment: "I took a closer look at the faces of the anti-thief guards. β
"I found them to be older."
"But the complexion is not bad."
"It proves that this Shangquyang County Order is doing a good job."
Then.
Dian Wei pointed in the direction of the city gate and said loudly, "Look." β
"The gates of the city have been opened."
Zhao Feng looked in the direction of Dian Wei's finger.
Sure enough, it was the prelude to the opening of the city gates.
immediately said to Zhang Wu and Huang Shao: "Zhong Feng, Jie Wen." β
"Quick back to the part."
"Always ready to respond."
Zhang Wu and Huang Shao arched their hands: "Huh." β
With that, he rode away.
When the enemy opens the gates, there are only a few possibilities.
First, Kaesong surrendered.
The second is to send envoys.
The third is to send troops out of the city to cover up and kill for a while.
Zhao Feng asked Zhang Wu and Huang Shao to go back.
It's the third point of worry.
Xinshi is some distance away from Zishui.
So Newmarket has no moat.
The level is right next to the water.
So there is no moat.
ZhendingγNine Gates are close to Weishuiγ
It is really set in the south of Weishui, and the nine gates are in the north of Weishui, so there are moats.
Shangquyang is farther away from the water.
So there is no moat in Shangquyang.
After the gates were opened.
A group of people quickly came out.
Stand on both sides of the gates.
Looking at the number of people, it is about fifty people.
Wait for these guards to stand.
There was another large group of people out of the city.
Except for the leader, and a few people were not taken into custody.
There were more than a dozen people in the back, all with their hands tied behind their backs.
And everybody, with a piece of cloth stuffed in their mouths.
They were also specially guarded by guards.
Zhao Feng was stunned for a moment.
I don't know which one this is singing.
If the city surrenders, as long as the county order leads the subordinate officials, it is enough to go out of the city and surrender.
This binds so many people.
Also look at the detention separately, is it that kind of surrender?
Could it be that they have internal divisions of their own?
And then a few people tied up all those who had political discord?
