Chapter 323: Used by the Shu Kingdom
"Oh, it's not very big, it looks weird." The rebel commander was puzzled for a moment and said: "The Jin army has such an artifact, our army is afraid that it will be difficult to hold the city, and if the generals have any opinions, they will all say it." ”
There will be a lot of generals inside the tent, and each general has some scruples, not daring to speak out, just looking at each other a few times, and the tent is suddenly shrouded in a tense atmosphere.
The rebel commander had long expected this situation, and hurriedly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, if you have any psychological words, just say them, no matter what you say, those who say nothing are not guilty." ”
The generals were deadlocked for a while, and the generals who were responsible for defending the north gate mustered up their courage and stood up, and said loudly: "General, the siege equipment of the Jin army is really powerful, and our department has suffered the most casualties. ”
"The city is broken in the thought of the main general of the Jin army, how can I say this." The rebel commander did not understand the general's words, and hurriedly asked.
The general hurriedly replied: "General, the last general has been defending the north gate these days, and he has clearly felt that the main general of the Jin army has no intention of really attacking Jiude City, when our army was pressed by the thunderbolt of the Jin army and couldn't raise its head, the Jin army could completely rely on superior troops and a large number of siege equipment to attack the city wall, but the Jin army did not do so, and lost many excellent offensive opportunities in vain." ”
"Oh, then in your opinion, why does the Jin army commander have to be like this? Also, what trick does he want to play? The rebel commander then asked.
The general frowned and said: "In the humble opinion of the last general, the main general of the Jin army may have three considerations, first, our army has a high strength of 20,000, and Jiude City is also easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the Jin army can break through the city wall, it will have to kill and wound a large number of soldiers, and it will never be easy to capture the city." ”
"That's right, the Jin army will definitely pay a huge price for breaking the city, you go on." The rebel commander interjected, affirming the general's point of view.
"Second, the Jin army used a large number of thunderbolts, throwing stones and fire attacks have caused a lot of losses to our army, but the Jin army is unscathed, so a little bit of consumption, the strength of our army will become smaller and smaller, and the morale will become weaker and weaker, on the other hand, the Jin army will become stronger and stronger."
"Jin Jun's move is really insidious! Soft knives kill! Go on. The rebel commander interjected again.
"Third, this is just the guess of the last general, and it is not completely certain." The general hesitated, not knowing whether to say or not.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it, say it quickly." The rebel commander ordered his generals to speak.
The general thought about it carefully, looked at the main general and said: "General, the Jin army shows strong military strength outside the city, and its main general seems to have the intention of forcing our army to surrender, and the city of Xupu has also persuaded to surrender once, after all, the north of the Jin Kingdom is facing a strong enemy, and the Great Jin court must not want to face threats from the north and south at the same time, as long as we are willing to submit to the Great Jin, Jiude and Rinan will always be our homeland." ”
"Oh, that's what you guessed, if the Jin army wants to persuade them to surrender, why don't they send envoys here." The rebel commander asked rhetorically. In fact, in this situation, he also had the idea of making peace with Jin Jun in his own heart.
The general immediately replied: "General, when I was in Xupu City, the Jin army had already sent people to persuade him to surrender, and the general lost his words and led the army to retreat, and the general of the Jin army must have doubted the sincerity of the general's surrender." ”
"He wants our army to surrender voluntarily, wouldn't it be a loss of face." The rebel commander was a little angry.
The general said: "General, the granary in the north of the city of our army has been burned, the remaining grain and grass in the city has been less than ten days, and the Jin army has formed a three-sided encirclement of our army, do we have any other choice?" It is better to take advantage of the strength in your hands and take the initiative to submit to the Great Jin Dynasty, which will not do me any harm to the Nanyue people. ”
The rebel commander let out a sigh of relief, what the generals said was the truth, they now don't have much capital to confront the Jin army outside the city, and if they don't surrender, they will kill themselves.
Moreover, since the rebellion, they have not received any benefits from the rebellion, but many people have died, and the Shu State that instigated them to rebel against the Great Jin Dynasty has not given any support, which makes him a little puzzled why he rebelled, is it for the sake of the so-called 'Great Nanyue Kingdom'?
"General, it was the envoy of Shu who instigated the big chief to rebel against the imperial court, and they promised to assist Shu State, but now, most of our soldiers are dead, but Shu State is watching from the wall, are we in a plan."
"That's right, general, we must have fallen for the tricks of the envoys of Shu, we and the Great Jin court fight to the death, and Shu can sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman, it's too cunning."
"General, over the years, although the Great Jin Dynasty is partial to the south of the Yangtze River, only half of the country, but its strength is still far higher than ours, Jingzhou, Yangzhou Legion each has 100,000 troops, Jiangzhou, Guangzhou each has 50,000 horses, the rest, Xuzhou Legion, Jiaozhou Legion, the Northern Expeditionary Corps also have tens of thousands of horses, the total strength of the Great Jin Dynasty is more than 300,000, moreover, well-trained, well-armed, only 30,000 horses of the Northern Expeditionary Army will make the main force of our army lost, my Nanyue people, not the opponent of the Great Jin Dynasty at all!"
"General, we can't be a spearman for Shu, our army and the Jin army can't fight anymore, our main army is already in this city, if we lose everything, our Nanyue clan will have no place in Jiaozhou in the future, and even have the worry of extermination!"
"General, make up your mind!"
Most of the generals in the account had the intention of making peace with the Jin army, and the rest of the generals bowed their heads and did not say anything, but they did not oppose the peace talks.
Of course, this is also due to their situation is getting worse and worse, and they have lost confidence in resisting the Jin army, which is a helpless move, think about a few months ago, when they defeated the Jiaozhou army of the Great Jin Dynasty and forced Guilin County in Guangzhou, how could they ever think of being used as a spear by Shu, and even under the city of Xupu, they have no intention of making peace, and now, they are forced by the Jin army to advance and retreat, so they think of being used as a spear by Shu.
The rebel commander naturally understands that the generals' statements are reasonable, but as the commander of the whole army, he is only on the orders of the great chieftain to lead the army to fight against the Jin army.
"What the generals said makes sense, maybe we have really fallen for the tricks of Shu, but in the matter of peace talks and surrender, we must inform the big chief, let the big chief decide!" The rebel commander said with a respectful face.
