"Report!! There is a fire outside the city, Yuanzhou reinforcements are under attack!" The messenger entered the mansion anxiously, knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly, "General Zhuo is asking for urgent help!"
"What?!" Sha Yihe, the prefect of Bashui, stood up in shock, "How did the Qiguo army know where General Zhuo was ambushing?"
The ordering soldier shook his head anxiously: "Please send troops to rescue the prefect quickly!"
"Commanders, listen to the order!" Sha Yihe certainly couldn't let Pingnan General Zhuo Yan be annihilated by the enemy. He came to the rescue on the emperor's order. If there were any shortcomings, he would be finished. "Quickly mobilize the troops and go out of the city to rescue!
"
"No!!" A civil servant in the crowd stood up and saluted Sha Yihe, "Master Taishou, our army must not leave the city lightly, beware of fraud!"
"General Zhuo is leading his troops to help Bashui County, and we are at arm's length with each other. If the general fails, Bashui will be in danger!" Sha Yihe said seriously.
"Report to the prefect! Our army has the heavy responsibility of defending the city and should not leave lightly." The civil servant suggested, "You can send someone to deliver a message and order General Morico to lead the elite troops of Miao County to help General Zhuo!"
"This..." Sha Yihe hesitated and turned to look at other civil and military officials, "What do you think?"
"Master Taishou, the enemy troops have come from afar, and they are exhausted from the long journey!" A general came out with clasped fists, "Half of the soldiers were forced to march, have not been trained, and have low morale. Our army is waiting for work, and our troops and horses are strong. What should we fear? General
May 5,000 elite soldiers come out of the city to rescue, and the enemy army will be defeated!"
"No! If you go into battle rashly, you will definitely fall into a trap! The enemy troops will go straight to where General Zhuo ambush. I am afraid there are many Qiguo soldiers in our city. If we send troops at this time, we are afraid that we will fall into an ambush!"
"Even if there is an ambush, how can Qi Guo's weak army stop our tiger and wolf army? I also ask the prefect to give the order, and the general will be willing to lead the army to fight!"
"The general is also willing to lead the troops into battle!"
"The general is willing to go to war with the army!"
"Please send troops from the prefect!!"
"No!"
"Prefect, think twice! Defeat in an ambush is a small crime, but the city's fall is a big crime!"
"The governor cannot agree to go to war!"
"I hope the prefect will think twice!"
.....
The civil and military officials immediately divided into two factions. The civil and military officials all dissuaded them and asked to defend the city tightly. They sent a message to ask Miao County reinforcements to rescue General Zhuo Yan of Pingnan. Most of the military officers asked to go to battle, feeling that the enemy had traveled a long distance and arrived, and was completely exhausted.
In addition, the forcibly recruited soldiers had poor combat effectiveness and low morale, which was not enough to compare with the elite soldiers in the city.
The two sides got into a dispute, and the prefect Sha Yihe had a headache.
After thinking carefully, he finally decided: "Send a message to General Morico and rush to the rescue of General Zhuo Yan!"
"Report!!" Before the messengers could set off, another messenger came hurriedly from outside, "Emergency situation ahead! The Qi army raided the river bank, the Miao army was surrounded, General Morico urgently asked for help!"
"What?!" Prefect Sha Yihe was shocked. "The two ambush sites were actually exposed. Could it be that the generals in the city have been bribed? Otherwise, how could the military information be leaked?"
Civil and military officials looked at each other, all looking for details that could be bribed by the other party.
If General Zhuo Yan's side can be regarded as a coincidence, what about the river bank side?
The places they chose were extremely hidden, and only the civil and military officials on the scene knew about them.
"Who leaked the military information? Do you want to invade Qi's country and surrender the city?!" Sha Yihe drew his sword and shouted loudly.
All civil and military officials were in danger and turned pale with panic.
How did they know that Jia Zhengjin's side could be monitored in real time through satellites, and no detailed work was required at all.
"Prefect, don't panic! The last general only needs 10,000 elite troops. If you go out of the city and join forces with General Zhuo Yan, you will be able to repel the enemy!" A general stepped forward.
"The last general is willing to lead 5,000 troops to rush to the river bank and join forces with General Morrico!"
"The last general will go out with the army!"
"I will go there in the end!!"
...
The generals all asked for battle, and their morale was very high.
Seeing this, the civil servant who was the first to speak hurriedly stood up and said: "Master Taishou, you must not go out of the city to fight! The enemy has already learned about our two ambushes and is probably well aware of the situation in the city. If we send troops now, we will definitely fall into an ambush! I
The army should guard the city tightly and remain unchanged in response to any changes!"
"Master Yang dissuaded the Grand Administrator from rushing to the aid of General Pingnan and General Morico. Don't you know that once the reinforcements are wiped out, it will be difficult to defend Bashui County! Even if you can barely hold on to the city and defeat General Pingnan and General Morico, how can your Majesty do that?
Let the prefect go?"
"Losing the city is equivalent to opening the door to our high country!"
"The two generals who came to help made mistakes, and the governor did not report their deaths! Mr. Yang, could it be that you are a craftsman bribed by the enemy?"
"Nonsense! I just don't want to damage the city!"
"Huh! Qi Guo is just a temporary force, not to mention the army that has traveled a long distance and is exhausted. Now is the time to annihilate it in one fell swoop. We can easily defeat it by sending troops and joining forces with General Pingnan and General Morico!"
"Your Excellency, please don't trust me!" the civil servant said urgently, "You can't leave the city!"
"Master Yang has different intentions!" the general who advocated going to war yelled sternly.
"Master Taishou!" The civil servant was unmoved and continued to dissuade, "You must not go to war!"
The other civil servants kept their mouths shut, because both Zhuo Yan and Morrico had problems with the reinforcements. If they stopped going to the battle at this time, they would be mistaken for being bribed by the enemy just like Chief Yang.
No matter how much the prefect believed in them, facing the unanimous condemnation of all the generals, the prefect might be shaken.
Sure enough, when all the military generals came forward to ask for battle and accused Lord Yang of "treason," the prefect finally said: "General Pingnan and General Morico came to assist Bashui County. How can you just sit back and ignore the problem now? Lord Yang
The behavior of the bookkeeper is suspicious, but it cannot be confirmed. If anyone comes, Mr. Yang will be placed under house arrest temporarily, and a decision will be made after this battle!"
"Yes!!" A soldier immediately stepped forward to hold Master Yang down and drag him out.
"You can't leave the city! You can't leave the city!!" Master Yang struggled desperately, with an urgent expression, "If Bashui County is lost, you will be guilty of waiting!!"
Soon, his voice was no longer heard, and he was probably imprisoned.
"Wang Tian, Liu Ju, Liu Sheng!"
"Here!!" the three generals responded.
"Order Wang Tian as the chief general, Liu Ju and Liu Sheng as assistants, and lead 10,000 troops out of the city to assist General Pingnan!"
"The last general will live up to his command!!" The three generals showed excited expressions.
"Zhang Tang, Zhao Kun!"
"The final general is here!!" Two more generals came out with fists clasped.
"Order Zhang Tang as the chief general, Zhao Kun as the assistant, and lead five thousand troops out of the city to assist General Morico!"
"I will obey my orders!!"
"Gu Teng, Sun Lan!"
"The end is here!!"
"Order Gu Teng to be the chief general, Sun Lan to be the assistant, and lead five thousand troops to support him later!"
"As commanded!!"
"Zhou Yue, Wu Qiang!"
"The end is here!!"
"I order you two to lead the troops and guard the city gate without any loss!"
"The last general takes orders!!"
"Generals, listen to the order and must rescue General Pingnan and General Morico, join forces together, and defeat the enemy forces of Qi State!"
