In the previous chapters, Zhang Jike and Jing Tian were confused. Now I have corrected it after a reader left a message. I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused to everyone.)
Zhang Jike returned to his residence, took out a letter from his underwear, read it carefully, took a deep breath, felt shocked, burned the letter, and ordered his followers to pack their things.
He had received this letter half a month ago. It was a personal letter from Wang Junlin. Half a month ago, Wang Junlin had already predicted that Yang Guang would be surrounded by the Turks. He even predicted that he would send an envoy to negotiate with the Turks.
And Jing Jike was also ordered by Wang Junlin to step forward to serve as Yang Guang's emissary after a narrow escape.
Zhang Jike watched the letter burn to ashes and turned around slowly, but suddenly his pupils shrank and he almost screamed.
Because at some point, a woman stood behind him, a woman with a cold look and no expression, but extremely beautiful.
Zhang Jike was Wang Junlin's confidant, and of course he knew who this woman was. He was horrified and quickly bowed and said, "It turns out it's Miss Xiaoyu who is here. This subordinate is really surprised."
Of course he was surprised. Now that the gate of Dayan City was closed and surrounded by 400,000 Turkic troops outside the city, how did the other party get in? It was obvious that he did not disturb anyone.
Although Zhang Jike knew that this girl Xiaoyu had great powers and had many magical abilities, he was still shaken at this moment and couldn't help himself, because this was really unbelievable, or too difficult to understand.
As if he knew the doubts in Zhang Jike's heart, Nie Xiaoyu said calmly: "I was already in Yang Guang's inspection team half a month ago."
Zhang Jike suddenly realized it. He took a deep breath and asked quickly: "I wonder what the prince's plan is?"
Nie Xiaoyu said: "The plan is that you take me to the Turkic camp and give me to the Turkic Khan."
Zhang Jike was stunned for a moment, but Nie Xiaoyu looked at him with eyes without any emotion, which made him feel frightened. He did not dare to ask more about this matter. After a moment of hesitation, he asked again: "How many soldiers and horses did the prince bring here, and when?"
arrive?"
Nie Xiaoyu said: "We have brought 20,000 troops and horses, and we will arrive the day after tomorrow."
"What? There are only 20,000 troops. How can we deal with forty Turks?"
Ten thousand people." Zhang Jike was shocked and his expression changed.
"Twenty thousand horses are enough. Any more will be a waste of food." Nie Xiaoyu replied expressionlessly.
What else could Zhang Jike say? If it were anyone else, he would have felt that he was joking, but King Qin An was the one who kept creating miracles. There must be a reason why he only led 20,000 troops. It seems that there should be other clever ways to deal with these 400,000 Turkic cavalry.
Bar!
Zhang Jike comforted himself, packed up his things, and went out with four guards. One of the guards was naturally dressed as Nie Xiaoyu.
But before leaving the city gate, he met Yu Shiji who was waiting here.
Zhang Jike's eyes flashed, he got off his horse, came to Yu Shiji, bowed his hands and said, "Master Yu is waiting for me specially."
Yu Shiji deliberately waved away his entourage, took a few steps closer, returned the greeting with a complicated expression, and whispered: "Master Zhang, what are your plans for this situation?"
"I don't understand what Mr. Yu said," Zhang Jike said in a low voice with a cold expression. The latter would never reveal his relationship with Wang Junlin to Yu Shiji, and the connection between him and Wang Junlin has always been secret.
It is impossible for Yu Shiji to know, but Yu Shiji is extremely intelligent, good at observing people's words, and can dig out some truths through details. It is not impossible for this person to infer that he is King Qin An from his words and deeds.
Yu Shiji shook his head. In fact, he was just suspicious. This was just a test. Zhang Jike instinctively spoke to him in a low voice, which could actually explain a lot of things. He smiled slightly and said: "In that case, please take care of yourself, Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Jike's face suddenly changed slightly, because he also realized that Yu Shiji was testing, and the old fox Yu Shiji who lowered his voice just now might see a lot of things. He hesitated for a moment and said: "Master Yu, don't worry, you and
Your Majesty, nothing will happen to you."
After finishing speaking, Zhang Jike straightened up his clothes, straightened his back, and headed towards the city gate. The city gate slowly opened. The soldiers and people near the city gate looked at their backs silently. One man and one rider, with four guards, headed toward the Turks.
Leaving the camp...
In the Turkic camp, Han craftsmen brought from Yulin County and Mayi County were forced to build siege equipment day and night, although Liu Wu had been asked to
Zhou He occupied the five counties of Yulin County in advance and prepared a lot of preparations, but the siege equipment was consumed too quickly. Nearly half of the siege equipment was consumed in most of the day today.
Moreover, it takes a long time to make large siege weapons such as ladders, battering rams, and nest carts. They cannot be made in half a day. They do not have so much time to prepare. At this time, they are still cutting down trees and manufacturing
Simple siege ladder.
Shibi Khan was in his prime, ambitious and energetic. At this time, he was riding a horse in the camp to inspect the combat readiness. He thought that siege was not what the Turks were good at. Although he had prepared siege equipment in advance, he was ready to attack the city.
The Sui army was depleted to a certain extent and was prepared to break the city after the opponent's army collapsed. After all, there was an emperor in Dayan City. Shibi Khan thought from his perspective. If he was in a desperate situation, his army would not fight to the death to protect him.
The morale of the Sui army must be very high. As a result of today's fight, he found that the actual situation was different from what he imagined, and it was very different.
Even today's first attack almost broke through the city. This surprised Shibi Khan. Although he didn't quite understand why the emperor of Sui led the imperial army to be inferior to ordinary border soldiers, he still discovered the Sui army.
They were weak, their morale was low, and their combat power was weak. If the Sui army remained in the same state as it is today, he only needed to launch an army with all his strength to attack the city quickly. He believed that Yanmen City would be broken in three to five days at most.
When he thought of the Sui Emperor Yang Guang kneeling in front of him, crying and begging for mercy, Shibi Khan was so excited that his whole body trembled. The Turks had always been a vassal state of the Sui Dynasty. This was a shame in his opinion.
The Sui Emperor also sent people to drive a wedge between their brothers and wanted them to kill each other. This made him hate Yang Guang again, so he must capture Yang Guang alive this time.
At this time, a general came to report: "To inform the Khan, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty sent an envoy."
"Oh! The emperor of the Sui Dynasty sent a messenger. Who it is? It can't be that damn old thief Pei Shiju!"
The general knew that Khan also hated Pei Shiju, who came to the grassland last year to alienate their brothers. He smiled and said: "Khan, it's not Pei Shiju. I think this Pei guy knows that when he comes, Khan will chop him up and feed him to the wolves.
So I didn’t dare to come. This time it’s a high-ranking official from the Sui Dynasty named Zhang Jike!”
