Lu Yao was silent, and no one of his subordinates spoke.

After a long time, Lu Yao suddenly called: "Old Xue." ”

Xue Tong stood under Lu Yao and arched his hand: "Yes." ”

Lu Yao said slowly: "In the past, Daling was defeated and the armies were scattered. And Dongying Gong was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and he actually sat back and watched the danger, and even abandoned the Pao Ze brothers to escape. When you and I were in a desperate situation, we scolded Sima Teng day and night; But I never thought that there would be a man who is also afraid of the enemy like a tiger in the future, and persuaded me to imitate him! ”

Before Xue Tong could answer, Shen Jin was already furious: "Lu Yao! Do you despise me like this? ”

Shen Jin was originally a brave man with great vigor and blood, but this time he was 'excited' by Lu Yao's words, and he suddenly had to open his hair, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, which looked very terrifying. Guo Huan, Fei Cen, Yang Ruo and other officers present were Lu Yao's old subordinates, and these people were afraid of his courage and feared that he would burst into trouble, so they took a step forward at the same time, holding the handle of the knife. Shen Jin also had several personal soldiers present, and these people immediately raised their swords and guarded. The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

At this moment, Xue Tong suddenly stood between Lu Yao and Shen Jin.

"You guys, you're all scattered! Scattered! He first shouted loudly, dispersed all the soldiers gathered around, and then saluted Lu Yao: "General, Lao Shen is definitely not afraid of the enemy. He just...... Alas, he's just a rough man. ”

He looked back at Shen Jin's blue face, took a step closer to Lu Yao, and lowered his voice extremely low: "Daoming, now that there is a huge disparity between the enemy and me, it is not the best strategy to stick to Jinyang, and it is not beneficial to the overall situation." Daoming, maybe we should make a suggestion to General Linghu, it is better to ...... It is better for the whole army to abandon Jinyang and retreat to Yangqu ...... in the north."

"Friend or foe? Nonsense! Lu Yao suddenly became angry and said sharply: "There are still more than 3,000 people in Jinyang, and there are no less than 2,000 victorious soldiers in the city. How many Huns can there be this time? Thirty thousand? Fifty thousand? At this moment, Lu Chang was guarding Jiexiu hard, with more than 1,000 troops to resist the siege of tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops, he had never said anything about the disparity between the enemy and me! ”

Xue Tong's face instantly turned purple. But he endured it and said nothing.

Lu Yao himself couldn't help but be discouraged. He naturally knew in his heart that Jinyang and Jiexiu were completely different. The reason why Jiexiu was able to defend to the death was because the Duke of Yueshi led a large army to rescue, and the defenders always had hope. And what about Jinyang? The Jinyang Army's family is empty, and there is only these, where is there any chance of victory?

But if you abandon the city and leave as Shen Jin said, what will be the result? The tactics of the Hu people originated from the tactics of cavalry battles on the grassland, especially focusing on chasing the dead and chasing the north; Just like after the previous Daling fiasco, the Xiongnu army swept the entire state in just a few days. If Jinyang is lost, how can Xinxing County, which is all within easy reach, be left alone? Even if he led his troops to flee, he was just a fish in the kettle, and at best, he repeated the process of leading the army to break through after the Daling fiasco and finally overturned.

And Xue Tong's proposal is not very clever. He just made a simple compromise between sticking to Jinyang and fleeing on his own, expecting an orderly retreat under the leadership of Ling Husheng. However, once the Jin army abandoned Jinyang, Yue Shigong, who was still fighting in Pingtao, immediately fell into a desperate situation of being attacked from both sides, making it absolutely impossible for Hu Sheng to agree. But the person who made this suggestion to him was afraid that he would be beheaded immediately. What's more, dragging the Jinyang people out of the cover of the city is simply sending the 'fat' and 'meat' into the wolf's 'kiss', and they will be killed by the Hun army on the way!

There would be such an absurd idea, Xue Tong is afraid that he will also be dizzy!

At this time, if you observe carefully, you can see that Lu Yao's hands are trembling slightly, showing that he is trying his best to suppress his emotions. He didn't want to lose control, but he had a hard time controlling his emotions. When faced with a great threat from the enemy, his right-hand men openly talked about fleeing from battle, and there was little he could do to restrain him...... Because almost everyone in this team thinks the same thing!

Lu Yao's heart was very disappointed. Obviously, including Xue Tong, these soldiers not only lack the sense of responsibility of soldiers, but also lack trust and obedience to the commander. This kind of trust and obedience requires countless trials of birth and death, and Lu Yao needs to lead them to win many more battles before it can be cultivated. This army may be entangled with the 'elite' of the state army back then, but after all, the entire army has only been formed for four months. Although Lu Yao tried every means to pinch them into shapes, but at this critical moment today, a backbone officer like Shen Jin, and even a right-hand man like Xue Tong, once again 'exposed' their flaws!

Lu Yao leaned against the pheasant moat at the head of the city, trying his best to calm down, carefully searching for his understanding of this period of history, and discovering the memories in his mind.

According to the relevant records in the Book of Jin and the "Zizhi Tongjian", Liu Kun set off in September of the first year of Guangxi to come to the state and officially settled in Jinyang in the following year, that is, the first year of Yongjia, to fulfill the duty of the state assassin. After that, he used Jinyang as a base and fought fiercely against the Xiongnu Liu Han regime for many years. And the final fall of Jinyang City was in the sixth year of Yongjia, due to the betrayal of traitors.

That is to say, in the more than five years before this, although "the robbers came to cover each other, and always used the city 'gate' as the battlefield", and fell into the harsh situation of soldiers approaching the city several times, Jinyang, who was alone behind the enemy, stood tall and never was captured by the Hu people.

Lu Yao thought to himself that although he was active and enterprising these days, he was only a middle-level military attache with less than a thousand people in command after all. The battles experienced and the victories achieved may not be impossible if they are replaced by other great futures under Liu Kun. Therefore, the butterfly effect caused by the traverser is far from enough to change the strength comparison between Jinyang and the Xiongnu, let alone affect the trajectory of history. In this war, Jinyang should be safe. In other words, compared to abandoning the city and leaving, it seems that the chances of survival by sticking to Jinyang are greater.

Thinking about it from another angle, if Jinyang finally held on, Yue Shigong won the battle...... What will happen to those who have escaped from the battle?

The plan of Shen Jin, Xue Tong and others was absolutely impossible, but Lu Yao didn't know how to explain it to the soldiers.

"Lao Xue, I'm anxious in my heart, if you offend with your words, don't take it to heart. You and I 'fellowship' in times of adversity, and I know what kind of person you are. Lu Yao paced back and forth for two steps, waving his hand to get Xue Tong out of the way. He stared at Shen Jin and said earnestly: "Shen Jin, it's the same for you." When Lu Yao first joined the state army, he had to be taken care of by you. Since then, colleagues have been colleagues for many years, and the friendship is extraordinary. So, if I mislook at you, you feel wronged, don't you? ”

Shen Jin said impatiently: "At the moment of the great enemy, why should my old Shen suffer some grievances?" But ......"

Lu Yao rushed and said, "So, in your eyes, what kind of person am I?" Am I the kind of person who treats Brother Robeze's 'sexuality' like a mustard? Or do you not trust my judgment and think that I am the kind of fool who leads my brothers to their knees? ”

Lu Yao's body was wrapped in a lot of bandages, so his every move was a little stiff, and his walking steps seemed vague, but his eyes were as sharp as a cold blade. Shen Jin, who had a majestic body, involuntarily cringed in front of him: "Daoming, your insight and determination are ten times better than mine, I have always admired you." It's just that...... Just ......"

"Let's put it this way, Old Shen ......" Lu Yao interrupted him again: "Lu Yao is a soldier, since he is ordered by the military, he will rest except for death, and what he has to do now is to stick to this Great Xia 'Gate'." Naturally, there are reasons for this. ”

He stared at Shen Jin: "I just want to know, do you believe me or not?" Would you like to listen to me? ”

Lu Yao turned around, his eyes swept over the subordinates present one by one: "I want to know, can you trust me or not?" Would you like to listen to me? ”

Although the long wind howled from the top of the city, the atmosphere under the eaves of the castle tower was frozen as if it were about to turn into solid.

After a while, Guo Huan was the first to stand up: "I am willing to follow the orders of the army master!" Guo Huan has always been taciturn and does not express his opinions easily. Unexpectedly, at this moment, it was he who was the first to support Lu Yao. Since Lu Yao joined the Bingzhou Army, Guo Huan has been Lu Yao's right-hand man; When this emotion was 'stirred', he blurted out the title of "military master".

And Fei Zen, Yang Ruo and others also stood up and said loudly: "I am willing to follow the general!" With just one order, even if it is a sea of swords and fire, we are willing to take a trip to it! ”

These people have followed Lu Yao for many years and are absolutely loyal.

Deng Gang hesitated for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "I don't understand the matter of war. But I've lived this age, and I still have some eyesight for myself. Then he bowed deeply to Lu Yao: "Deng Gang is willing to listen to the general's orders!" ”

Xue Tong pondered for a moment, and finally resolutely bowed his head: "Daoming, Lao Xue's 'sex' life was originally saved by you, and it was sold to you a long time ago." Now that you have made up your mind, Lao Xue can only sacrifice his life to accompany you! ”

Xue Tong's old subordinate Xie Yuan also immediately said: "I am willing to follow the general!" ”

In the blink of an eye, the officers present had not yet expressed their positions, and only Shen Jin remained. And they all looked at him.

Shen Jin's face was uncertain, he gritted his teeth and said, "Daoming, I am a rough person with shallow knowledge, so I didn't dare to argue with you." But in the face of such a situation, you still have to stick to the Jedi...... Why don't you give me a reason first? ”

Lu Yao took a step forward: "I have a point, and you just need to reply." Old Shen, would you like to listen to my orders? ”

Shen Jin was silent for a long time, grinned, and sighed heyly: "Let's go!" Cease! Clear, I can trust you after all. What you say, I can do! My old Shen has never been afraid of the enemy and cowardly in his life, and he can't be looked down upon! ”

Now that the officers had made up their minds, the whole army was busy. Reorganize the troops, assign defense areas, and prepare for the ...... Many people are rushing back and forth.

Lu Yao suddenly patted Shen Jin's shoulder, dragged him to the side, and said in a low voice: "Old Shen, I will only say this with you...... My Jinyang army will win this battle, you don't need to worry about it. ”

"You mean......" Shen Jin was really incredulous: "Daoming, you mean that we will win?" ”

Lu Yao 'revealed' an unfathomable expression: "Silence! Hugh asks more. ”

Shen Jinhu nodded suspiciously.

Although Lu Yao claimed to only say that he was with Shen Jin, how could Shen Jin hide his words? Only half a quarter later, the news spread to every soldier in the city.

All the soldiers were frightened by Lu Yao's pretentious and confident assertions. Although they were 'confused' and 'confused', they were suddenly full of hope. Eventually, everyone was busy preparing for the defense of the city.

And Lu Yao sat cross-legged on the wall, looking at the south where the main force of the Jinyang Army was located, and looking at the east where the Xiongnu were coming.

The time is coming. The people of Tuntian outside Jinyang City have all withdrawn to the city, and the city gates everywhere are immediately closed.

A moment later, a group of embarrassed officials and soldiers came from outside the Great Xia 'gate', and then several small groups of men and horses fled to the city. Looking at their appearance, they were all injured, covered in blood, and very miserable. They crowded under the city and shouted 'gate', and after Lu Yao reported to Ling Husheng, he opened the 'gate' of the city again and put them all in.

Around the time of Shen, dust rose in the distance, obscuring half of the sky. Then, with the sound of bone flutes one after another, teams of Hun cavalry emerged from the dust and smoke.
