Chapter 255: Leaving the Ship (Part II)
In October, the flames of war ignited the earth, and Youzhou and Xuzhou fell into war.
Bingzhou will not be spared, under the rampant years of the hú people, thousands of miles of barrenness, ten rooms and nine empty.
On October 19, Hu Erbo led 30,000 people to break through the defense of Bingzhou, thus unveiling one of the few catastrophes in the history of Bingzhou.
In just half a month, all those who were passed by the Great Jun of Kuerbo were all ten rooms and nine empty, and all over the wilderness, and the surnames of hundreds of people were all regarded as rents, and they were slaughtered to their heart's content, wantonly humiliated, and especially driven to attack the city.
On October 21, Khurbo Qīn took a thousand horsemen and horses to Xinxing County to watch the enemy's situation.
On the twenty-second day, Dajun arrived in Xinxingdu.
Kulbo can be called a brave warrior of the original and a brave champion, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have accidents, diseases and injuries.
Therefore, along with Jun, there is also a shaman on the cǎo plain, and there is a Central Plains Taoist and a physician who is the leader of the way.
Due to the persuasion of the leading dǎng, on the way to Xinxing County, Hu Erbo really had some Han people.
However, I didn't let it go like this, in the words of Khurbo, since this world originally belonged to my father's Khan, then why should these Han people throw their heads for me?
Which of the warriors of his own tribe is not more precious than these Han people?
If you let go of these Han people, then the Han people will naturally be grateful and return their loyalty.
So when the great jun of Khurbo was close to Xinxing County, the team had driven away tens of thousands of Han people with the surname of Bai Yan, and Khurbo's intention was obvious, since his father Khan could use the Han people to attack the city, he could naturally do it.
In this regard, although the monk who led the way dǎng was unbearable, he felt that this was the number of days and no longer persuaded him.
Xinxing County
The city in front of you is a new place of governance, a prosperous city, with a large population, and there has always been an endless stream of people coming and going in the city.
Now, due to the arrival of the foreign Dajun, the city gate is tightly closed, the suspension bridge is hung high, and the whole city is full of solemnity.
Looking at the past from a distance, there are many guards in the city, these soldiers are not like the cities they have encountered before, they only use ordinary bows, and as soon as the vanguard approaches the city, they are shot back by the dense crossbow arrows.
Although it is separated by a moat, it still has a strong shā injury, and it is worthy of being a famous county town in the state, with strict precautions, and a scene of strict martial law!
The county watchman's house
In a study, there was a middle-aged man, who was magnificent, tall, seven feet tall, and a burly man with a long beard, which made him a little more elegant.
This person is the county guard of Xinxing County, the owner of this mansion, Zhang Henian!
Don't look at this humanistic person, but he is a good hand in governance.
Therefore, Xinxing County is somewhat prosperous under his governance, there are many merchants in the county, there are countless mǎimài, and the surname Baiyu cannot live and work in peace and contentment, at least most of the surnames in the city can still eat enough, in this troubled era, it is not easy to govern the city like this.
In front of Zhang Henian, there were two people, both of whom were his advisers, one Ji Ran and the other Cui Xu.
Ji Ran is not only his adviser, but also Zhang Henian's wife and brother, and it can be said that he has a relationship with him.
Cui Xu was also Zhang Henian's old department before, and later came over as a strategist.
In Zhang Henian's eyes, the two are his trusted henchmen, and the two do have some talents, after receiving the news that Xinxing County was invaded by foreign tribes, Zhang Henian summoned the two to think about countermeasures.
The two of them were sitting opposite each other in Zhang Henian's study at the moment.
"My lord, Fu Yunxin has expressed kindness several times before, why didn't the adults respond? If there is a connection between the adults and Fu Yunxin, you can ask Qiú to support Bīng now, and it will not be the case. At this time, Cui Xu, frowning, said to Zhang Henian.
said that there are no complaints, but in fact, there are still complaints.
Cui Xu is older, in his early fifties, ten years older than Zhang Henian, and has also assisted Zhang Henian's father before.
The marshal Fu Yunxin inherited the position of the former state festival envoy, theoretically Quanwei is shrouded in the whole state, and it has gradually mastered the real spring over the years, and other counties, although they do not hand over the spring to Fu Yunxin, but on the surface, Fu Yunxin is still the mainstay.
Zhang Henian repeatedly refuted Fu Yunxin's face, that is, there was no foreign invasion, but I was afraid that within a year or two, there would be friction between the two.
If Zhang Henian was willing to pay homage to Fu Yunxin before, at least he could send someone to Qiú to help, but now?
Cui Xu shook his head, feeling that Fu Yunxin might not be willing to send Bīng to help.
I'm afraid that even if I send Dajun over, I will have to wait for both here and the foreign clan to lose before I come over.
Ji Ran saw that Zhang Henian's face was gloomy, and he secretly complained.
Ji Ran's position is slightly lower than Cui Xu's, but this person is more trusted by Zhang Henian than Cui Xu, not only because of the relationship between the two, but also because Ji Ran's human nature is harmonious, and he will not be aggressive in making suggestions, leaving some leeway when he speaks.
Ji Ran and Cui Xu are old friends, so it is naturally clear that Cui Xu is the most upright, loyal to the second generation of the Zhang family, but because of his straightforward speech, although he is trusted but not reused, he is a strategist position until he is old.
Cui Gong, Cui Gong, your temperament, you still need to change!
Glancing at Cui Xu, Ji Ran sighed lightly.
However, Ji Ran also knew that although Cui Xu was a little old, he was not bad-hearted, otherwise Ji Ran would not be friends with Cui Xu.
"Cui Gong, what you said is not unreasonable, the adults know that you are loyal, and they are all for the sake of the adults. However, if you think about it, Fu Guangxin is the most deceitful and righteous. ,
"Merge the nine counties of the state, when Fu Yunxin inherited, he only got two counties, although he had a name, but there was no real spring, but over the years, he had merged three counties and now had four counties, and everyone who was close to qīn suffered from it, and the adults just disdained it and made it vain. , Ji Ran slowly spoke, saying.
Hearing Ji Ran's words, Cui Xu also fell silent, knowing that what Ji Ran said also made some sense, not to mention, since it has reached the point where it is now, what's the use of complaining that adults don't listen to him?
So, he nodded: "What you said is right, but this is the truth." ,
"Even if Fu Yunxin is unwilling to go out of the city, what good will it do him if the new city is broken? Once the city is broken, the state will completely lose its barrier and fall into the hands of the hú people, according to the minister's opinion, as long as it drags on for a few more days, Fu Yunxin will still send bīng to come. , Ji Ran continued.
Zhang Henian's face gradually softened at this time, and he sighed: "It can only be like this, there are 10,000 guards in the city, all of them are elite, and if you requisition 20,000 civilian cars, I don't believe it, 30,000 people, and it can't be delayed for a month!"
He is a county town here, the city has high walls, and there are a large number of strong crossbows and rolling stones, how can it be easy to break?
At this moment, suddenly, a panicked footstep approached, and in a moment, a voice sounded outside his study.
"My lord, it's not good! húren 囘大jun has already bīng under the city, and immediately began to attack the city! and...... And the siege of the city are all some of our Han people, old and young, women and children!"
"Old and young women and children?" Zhang Henian's face changed slightly.
Ji Ran and Cui Xu, who were present, both had great changes in their faces.
"Come with me to the city and have a look!" Zhang Henian stood up abruptly and said, Ji Ran and Cui Xu had already guessed something at the same time at this time, and their faces were angry.
Seeing Zhang Henian walking out, they all followed out quickly.
Under the new county
Most of the hú people rode bīng, one person and two horses, and there were newly descended Han people who acted as a major team, and finally the elite cavalry was delayed.
The hú people ride bīng, most of them have leather armor, and now they even have flags, and under the flags, they are densely packed with hú rides, forming a rolling flood liú.
In front of the city, Dajun stopped and looked at the city.
"Your Highness, this city is not very easy to fight" Seeing this situation, the generals of Kuerbo and the gods were slightly dignified.
"Wanhu, what now? This city looks like it has high walls and such a wide moat, if these Han people refuse to ......," someone said.
"It's all right!" said Hurbo, dressed in golden armor, mounted on his horse, and looked carefully at the top of the city.
Behind him, there were a number of generals, among whom there were also a few Taoist priests who followed him, and there was a bit of discord.
After looking at it for a moment, he saw Khurbo slowly sneering: "What if the city wall is high? As long as there is a ladder, you can still climb it." What about the width of the moat? Let our brave warriors drive behind, and we don't believe that those Han people dare not move forward! There are so many people that we can block this river, so why can't we cross it?"
"Your Highness is wise, so that it will not damage our brave soldiers!" When the surrounding hú generals heard this, they all nodded their heads and applauded loudly.
The two Central Plains Daoist people who followed couldn't help but change a little when they heard this.
In front of the fourth prince, although there is some thin face, it is just Khurbo to give some face, but at this time there is no room for speech.
Seeing that the Han people were trampled on the tú囘shā, the four princes could order fewer shā people, and they had fulfilled their duties.
As soon as the order was given, the horn sounded continuously, and a group of people rode bīng to drive the Han people forward, and gradually converged into a large area in front of the formation, forming a sea of people.
Many of them, knowing their fate, couldn't help crying, and some children followed their parents.
"Senior brother, don't act rashly!" Seeing a large number of Han people being driven forward, a Taoist priest couldn't bear it and wanted to say something more, but was stopped by his fellow men.
"But, brother, this—this is too cruel. ,
"This cleansing calamity is the will of heaven, how can you and I be able to control it? , Brother Gong, who led the way, showed pity on his face and said.
"Alas!" the elder brother sighed with a pale face.
In the shouts of the Han people and the scolding of the riding bīng, the low voice will not be noticed by others at all, so the two have a dialogue.
After a while, I only heard an order, and the city "poof", the rain of arrows fell, and suddenly, the Han people in the city fell like the snow melted.
The mansion is not far from the city gate, the three of them under the protection of the guards, soon arrived at the city, because of the command of Han Jie, the general of Zhuquan, hearing the sound of shā is no exception, only to hear the sound of shouting shā outside the sky, among which the screams and rumbling sounds, endlessly.
The three of them hurriedly climbed the stone steps, came to the city, and looked outside
