Outside Daijun City.
Wei Yan stood in front of the formation, looking sharply at the city in front of him. Taking the city by force was a last resort for him.
"General!"
A middle-aged general asked in a low voice: "Shall we attack the city?"
Wei Yan didn't even look back and said casually: "Let's wait and see."
The reason why Chen Bing was at the foot of the city was not because he really wanted to directly attack the city of Daijun. It was just because countless people in Daijun had requested to move with the army in the past few days. Wei Yan felt that this was a conspiracy by the Wei people.
Also,
Although the military and political leaders of Dai County said they wanted to withdraw their troops, several days had passed without any intention of withdrawing.
‘Since you don’t want to withdraw, then I will force you to withdraw.’
Twenty thousand Han cavalrymen, facing a city with only more than ten thousand defenders, had a low chance of winning by force.
However, Wei Yan was very confident at this time.
No way.
The big man now holds Wei Emperor Cao Rui in his hand.
Moreover, the State of Wei has agreed to cede Daijun. If the governor of Daijun makes the decision without authorization and refuses to implement the edict of the Wei State, then the Han Dynasty can use this as an excuse to tear up the peace agreement, and then use it to refuse to release the prisoners of Wei. Lord and minister.
‘Zhou Shen, do you want to deceive me?’
This is how Wei Yan dared to use 20,000 cavalry to pretend to attack Daijun.
Not long after Wei Yan led the Han cavalry to the city, Zhou Shen, the governor of Daijun, finally appeared on the city tower.
"Sheriff!"
On the city tower, the small school guarding the city seemed a little nervous.
Zhou Shen couldn't help but frown slightly as he stared at the Han cavalry outside the city.
If it were just an ordinary cavalry, he wouldn't actually be that worried, but now this cavalry is a fierce general who is good at fighting.
"General Wei!"
Zhou Shen looked at it,
Then he shouted loudly outside the city: "Why did General Wei send troops to the city? Is it because he wanted to attack the city by force?"
Now the war between Han and Wei has been suspended, and the two sides have reached a peace agreement.
At this time, Wei Yan suddenly led his troops to the city.
So Zhou Shen asked this deliberately.
"Prefect Zhou!"
Wei Yan said with a smile: "Dai County already belongs to my Han Dynasty. Wei Yan is here today just to take back the city that belongs to the Han Dynasty. How can we talk about forcibly attacking the city?"
"Hahaha——" Zhou Shen heard this and said with a loud smile: "Why is General Wei so anxious? We have agreed a few days ago that our army will withdraw from Dai County, and the Han army will take over the military administration of Dai County."
"Wei Yan naturally doesn't dare to forget..." Wei Yan said with a smile: "It's just that Wei Yan also wanted to do it for the sake of the governor. According to the agreement, the noble troops from Daijun must withdraw from Daijun within one month. Now more than half a month has passed.
, but your army has not withdrawn even a single soldier."
"If the time is delayed...I'm afraid..." Wei Yan deliberately reminded: "I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the captured monarchs and ministers of your country, so Wei Yan came to escort the prefect out of the city today."
"This——"
Zhou Shen was speechless for a moment, because he also knew that time was getting less and less.
"General Wei!" Zhou Shen paused and then said: "Withdrawing the troops is no small matter. Please forgive General Wei for a few days and allow our troops to take shelter."
At present, it is inevitable for the Wei army to withdraw from Dai County.
However, Zhou Shen still had some worries, that is, while receiving the imperial edict, he also received a secret order to find a way to evacuate at least half of the people in Daijun.
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
Wei Yan suddenly laughed loudly, then looked towards the city, and then said: "How many possessions do Governor Zhou have? After more than ten days of cleaning up, they are still not ready?"
"How about our army enter the city to help the prefect move?"
"General Wei is joking," Zhou Shen said with a smile: "The withdrawal has come to an end. Our troops will withdraw from Dai County soon. General Wei, please rest assured."
As the saying goes, if you can delay it for a day, delay it for a day.
But——
Wei Yan, who was originally chatting and laughing, suddenly turned gloomy, his tone was stiff, and he shouted loudly to the top of the city: "I don't care what your reasons are, but I am telling you now that all Wei troops must withdraw from Dai County within a three-day deadline.
”
"Three days later."
"Whether your army withdraws or not, I, the great Han, will officially take over the military administration of Daijun."
An ultimatum, Wei Yan does not want to continue ink-writing with them.
"Prefect Zhou can pack up his belongings quickly. Wei Yan will be stationed here from today on." Wei Yan said coldly: "In three days, Wei Yan will lead his army into the city."
After saying that, Wei Yan immediately ordered his troops to set up camp on the spot. Originally, the Han army's camp was set up ten miles outside the city of Daijun. However, at this time, the Han army was set up on the spot hundreds of steps outside the city gate.
The camp.
"This——"
"What can I do?"
Zhou Shen asked Huang Zhen beside him in confusion. Huang Zhen looked at the Han army outside the city and said coldly: "Then let them live here. If they want to enter the city in three days, they have to ask our soldiers."
Will the sword in my hand answer the question?"
"No -" Zhou Shen sighed, and then said: "It would be easy for us to hold on to Dai County, but we can't break the agreement privately."
"If...if your Majesty..."
Zhou Shen is very aware of the current situation. If he is asked to use these more than 10,000 soldiers to block Wei Yan's attack, he may not be able to guarantee the defense of Dai County, but if he is asked to hold on for ten days and a half, he is still confident that he can do it.
Just——
If they really clashed with the Han army and ended up tearing up the peace agreement that had been reached, thus causing a crisis for the emperor, it would not be something he, the governor, could bear.
"Withdraw——"
Zhou Shen said helplessly.
"This order is sent to all the garrison troops in the county, as well as the magistrates, magistrates and lieutenants of the surrounding counties;" Zhou Shen immediately ordered: "Early tomorrow morning, all evacuate to Shanggu."
"But...but the county guard..." Huang Zhen did not forget to remind: "But Sikong's order...how can we complete it?"
This order is to evacuate more than half of the people in Daijun.
This is not an edict from the imperial court, but it comes at the same time as the imperial edict. This is an order from Sikong Cuilin.
Cui Lin's meaning is very simple. The peace talks between Han and Wei were forced by the Wei Dynasty, because the Wei Dynasty needed to rescue the emperor and had to make compromises and concessions.
But——
Even if the Wei army withdraws from Daijun, the people of Daijun must be evacuated. It would be better if they can all evacuate. If they cannot evacuate them all, at least half must be evacuated.
The last thing the Han army took over was an empty county town.
It's just that the Han army responded faster than the Wei court. Before Wei's edict was delivered, Wei Yan had already led the Han army to Daijun.
This——
There is no time. If the imperial edict arrives first, they can move some people in advance, or inform the people in advance and take the opportunity to evacuate Daijun.
But what to do now?
The Han army is waiting outside the city of Daijun. If the people of Daijun dare to leave, the Han army may step forward to stop them at any time. If this causes another conflict between the two armies.
Zhou Shen is just a prefect of a county, how can he bear this responsibility?
That's why he came up with the idea of applying to the Han army to withdraw from Dai County with the army on the grounds of the soldiers' families.
But now the Han army has rejected the request of the people of Daijun, and now the troops are at the gate of Daijun. Zhou Shen is also a little helpless now. He sighed and said: "Act according to the imperial edict."
