Seeing everyone standing up, Chen Gong was not angry at all, because he had already anticipated everyone's reaction. After all, killing people in a city was okay, but killing people in a state was indeed unacceptable.
"Zilong, let me ask you, how is the situation in Jiaozhou?
Is it the same as other states and counties?”
Chen Gong glanced at Zhao Yun. Among these people, he was the one he liked the most. In his heart, if Yuan Shu really succeeded in founding the country, Zhao Yun would be the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses, so he now consciously established him among the people.
prestige in.
"The situation in Jiaozhou is different from other places. In other places, the king's way is respected and the emperor is the supreme emperor. Here in Jiaozhou, although Shi Xie has been advocating the king's way and education, it has just begun to be implemented. The people of Jiaozhou now only know Shi Xie.
Rather than respecting the emperor."
Zhao Yun thought for a moment and decided to continue what Chen Gong said. He could see through all this and there was nothing to hide.
"Zilong is right. Jiaozhou is such a place. There were barbarians in Yizhou, so my lord slaughtered all the enemies. Now the Nanbarbarians have accelerated their integration with the Han people, and the same is true here in Jiaozhou.
If a place like this is not allowed to completely change its blood, you may see peace when the army is here, but what will happen when the army leaves?
At that time, the Shi family will come back and with a wave of their arms, Jiaozhou will become a serious problem for us. For the sake of the safety of the lord and the big man, this evil man still wants us to do it."
Chen Gong nodded to Zhao Yun. He was right. This is exactly what Chen Gong wanted to say.
"Of course, if any of you feel that you can't bear such a bad reputation, as I said before, you can leave now and go north back to Jizhou."
After finishing speaking, Chen Gong once again told the generals around him what he had said before. If he didn't want to be such a bad person, then he could leave on his own.
"Haha, it's just a little notoriety. I don't care about it at all. I'm just worried that if I do this, the implication may be too great. If it is not done properly, the entire Jiaozhou may turn into a sea of blood and purgatory."
Zhao Yun glanced at Chen Gong. He was not afraid of notoriety. He was afraid that the storm would be too big and that it would affect innocent people and turn Jiaozhou into a purgatory. That would be bad.
"It all depends on how you screen. Some mistakes can be made, but you must remember that you would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. Since you have to do something, you must finish it. Don't end up with a bad reputation. Jiaozhou is still unstable.
That is our failure."
Chen Gong also knows Zhao Yun's worries, but there are some things that he will definitely encounter. After all, it is too much work and too difficult to screen the entire Jiaozhou.
"If the military advisor insists, I am willing to be the executioner."
Zhang He thought for a moment and then directly clasped his fists at Chen Gong. If he really insisted, then he would do the deal.
"Zang Ba is willing to obey the military advisor's command."
Zang Ba also stood up and clasped his fists towards Chen Gong, willing to take the basin of dirty water.
"Ma Chao is willing to obey the military advisor's command."
When Ma Chao saw that Zhang He and Zang Ba agreed, he did not hesitate and directly accepted the order with clasped fists.
Seeing that the three agreed, Chen Gong finally set his sights on Zhao Yun.
"Zilong, what did you say?"
"I am willing to obey the military advisor's command."
Since the three of them have agreed, there is no need for Zhao Yun to say anything. He has been risking everything since Linhe. As long as he can control the scope of the settlement, he is not a pedantic person.
"Okay, in that case, the army will rest temporarily and prepare to attack the city at dawn tomorrow."
None of the four people flinched, and Chen Gong also nodded. It's not that Chen Gong wanted them to accompany him to catch the shit basin. In fact, he couldn't control these things all by himself.
If these people help him, he can solve the problem in Jiaozhou as soon as possible. When Yuan Shu's heir is born, he may still have time to watch the ceremony.
"promise."
The four of them clasped their fists together and left Chen Gong's house.
"Zilong, is this really reliable?"
Zhang He looked at Zhao Yun, his eyes full of worry. To be honest, although he supported Chen Gong just now, he still felt that this matter was a bit unreliable.
"Reliable or not, we all have to do it. A minister must share the worries of the Lord. Now we can only do this. Do you understand?
What we have to consider now is how to do what the military commander said best, and we must try to avoid making mistakes and causing more killings."
Zhao Yun glanced at Zhang He. Since he had decided to obey Chen Gong's order, he shouldn't think about useless things. Instead of thinking so much, it would be better to think about how to do this best.
"Zilong is right. Now we should not worry about the correctness of the military advisor's orders, but focus on how to do this well."
Zang Ba glanced at a few people. In his opinion, since he agreed, he shouldn't worry about it so much and just do it with peace of mind.
"Well, just do it with peace of mind,"
Ma Chao had nothing to say, he just said these few words and left directly, returning to the Xuanwei Army.
"Let's go."
"Um."
"Go get ready."
The three of them also went their separate ways and returned to the army to prepare for the next siege.
At dawn the next day, all the troops came out and marched directly outside Guangxin City. The thunderous sound of war drums resounded throughout the sky.
"what sound?"
When Shi Xie heard the sound of war drums, he rushed out of the house and asked the people around him.
"Sir, the enemy's troops have reached the city walls."
Just when Shi Xie was confused, a soldier came directly to him, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fist at him.
"Yuan Shu's men have been killed. How many are there?"
Shi Xie directly asked the soldiers that the enemy would attack sooner or later. What he was most concerned about now was how many enemy soldiers and horses there were and whether Guangxin City could be defended.
"The enemy's soldiers and horses are densely packed and numerous. Looking at the posture, there are at least a hundred thousand troops."
The soldier thought for a moment and finally expressed his judgment.
"An army of one hundred thousand?
so much?
Come, follow me up the city wall immediately."
Hearing that the enemy had an army of 100,000, Shi Xie was stunned at first, but he immediately asked someone to climb the city wall with him.
Shi Xie went up to the city, and the new troops he had just recruited were also waiting on the city wall, but looking at the enemies below the city, some people's legs were still a little weak.
"grown ups."
"grown ups."
"grown ups."
When Shi Xie went to the city, a group of people immediately saluted him with clasped fists.
"Okay, Nan Chun, how is the situation now?
How many troops does the enemy have?"
Shi Xie scanned around the city wall and frowned as he looked at the swarming enemy. There were hundreds of thousands of them, and in his opinion, there were at least hundreds of thousands of troops.
"Sir, based on the enemy's military formation, there are at least more than 50,000 cavalrymen, and a few more than 150,000 infantrymen."
Captain Yao Ding glanced at Shi Xie and directly expressed his judgment. In his opinion, the enemy must have at least 200,000 people.
Hearing Yao Ding's professional answer, Shi Xie's heart sank to the bottom. There were more than 200,000 people. It seemed that Guangxin City was really gone this time.
"Are you sure you can block it?"
Shi Xie glanced at Yao Ding and asked for his professional opinion.
"No, there are only 30,000 strong men in the city including those on the wall. I'm not sure it can withstand an attack of 200,000 people."
Yao Ding glanced at the enemies under the city wall. To resist so many enemies with so few soldiers, it would be impossible for Daluo Immortal to do it.
"Then just do your best and let fate dictate. You can block it for as long as you can."
Shi Xie's expression changed and turned into ashes in the end.
"Sir, if this doesn't work, let's surrender. There is no hope for Guangxin City."
Yao Ding thought for a while, but in the end he couldn't help but say this.
"surrender?
Now that Yuan Shu's army has arrived, it proves that my two brothers outside are definitely in danger. Our family and Yuan Shu are at odds with each other. If anyone dares to say surrender, they will be killed without mercy."
Upon hearing Yao Ding's words, Shi Xie's face immediately turned from black to angry red, and he replied to him with a cold face and gritted teeth.
"It was Yao Ding who was rude. I hope you will forgive me."
Yao Ding immediately knelt on the ground to apologize to Shi Xie. He knew that he had just offended Shi Xie's Ni Lin.
"Okay, get up. Today I will stay on this city wall and live and die with all the soldiers."
Shi Xie didn't really want to blame Yao Ding. After all, the enemy was currently facing us. What he said hurt morale. If there was no morale, the enemy might not come to this battle and they would collapse.
"To live or die together."
"To live or die together."
"To live or die together."
It has to be said that Shi Xie's prestige is still very high. As soon as he said these words, the originally depressed morale instantly reversed and climbed directly from the bottom to the top.
"Where are the enemies howling?"
When Chen Gong heard the roar on the city wall, he couldn't help but be stunned, not understanding what was shouting on the other side.
"Maybe it's to boost morale. After all, there are only so many soldiers and horses in the city. We have so many soldiers and horses. If we don't think of a way, they won't even be able to withstand the first wave."
Zhao Yun glanced at the soldiers on the city wall and immediately expressed his thoughts.
"No matter what happens to them, prepare to attack the city."
There was a hint of amusement in Chen Gong's eyes. If his army pressed him, did he really think he could make up for it with morale alone?
think too much.
"promise."
"Trebuchet ready."
Zhao Yun directly conveyed Chen Gong's order, and then rows of trebuchets were rolled out directly. Forty or fifty were assembled in front of the army at the same time, which looked very spectacular.
"What it is?"
When Shi Xie saw the trebuchets being assembled below the city, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. If you attack the city, attack the city. What are you doing with these things?
"Sir, don't be careless. I heard that Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses have a siege weapon that can launch stone bullets to attack the city wall from hundreds of steps away. I think what they are assembling now should be that siege weapon."
Yao Ding looked at Yuan Shu's army under the city wall, thought for a while and directly said what he was most worried about.
"A stone bullet can be thrown onto the city wall from a few hundred steps?
This is so amazing."
Upon hearing Yao Ding's words, Shi Xie's first reaction was that this was a fantasy. How could such a thing exist? He didn't believe it.
"Sir, some things don't exist if we haven't seen them before. Yuan Shu relies on this powerful siege weapon to be invincible and invincible. And I heard that he also has an even more exaggerated trebuchet that can separate several enemies.
A trebuchet that smashes hundreds of thousands of kilograms of boulders into the city wall with a hundred steps."
Faced with Shi Xie's doubts, Yao Ding shook his head. What they didn't know didn't necessarily exist. It was just their own shallow knowledge. Who could call themselves a frog in the well?
"I don't believe it. Most of these are just lies and exaggerations. Even if he has a trebuchet that can hit the stone bullets on the city wall, I believe that my soldiers will never be afraid. They are the most brave men in Jiaozhou.
Behind us is Guangxin City, where we were born and raised. In order to protect our home, we can risk our lives, tell me?
Yeah?"
Shi Xie looked at the soldiers beside him again. Although he felt that what Yao Ding said was a fantasy, if what he said was true, he needed to boost his morale, otherwise he might be attacked by the enemy.
It's a disaster. You can't expect a group of farmers who have just put down their hoes to have the capabilities of an elite regular army.
"Swear to the death to defend Guangxin City and our homeland."
