On the seventh day of the attack on Xincai, the main task was still to attack the heart. With the fall of the "Acropolis" of Xincai, the entire Xincai became a typical isolated city.
The isolated city can only wait for reinforcements, but no one knows whether the reinforcements will come.
Yang Tongue, who has always been calm and self-controlled, became restless at home for the first time.
"Yangtongue Gong!"
"how?!"
"The four cities have all fallen, and the cities outside the city have changed their flag to the Wu people."
"..."
Hearing his subordinate's reply, Yang Tongue's face was solemn. This kind of news cannot be stopped. You can see it by lying on the top of the city. A large part of the defenders are from Xincai.
The troubles that Sheeptongue and Humerus are facing now are not just material, but also people's discord.
Ever since Xincai was flooded, a strange sound of surrender filled the entire city of Xincai. Several established nobles were suppressed in succession, but none of them suppressed the sound.
The idea of the "capitulationists" is very simple. Xincai is not the Xincai of Marquis Cai alone. Li Jie has a good reputation. As long as there is talk, there will be talks.
But if we don’t talk about it, there’s really no need to talk about it!
Such an unlucky guy as Xue Hou, did he kill his whole family?
No!
"Yang Shi Gong, I think that we should immediately resume peace talks with the Wu people."
A counselor looked calmly, stepped out of the queue, bowed, and said to the sheep, "Your Majesty is inspecting Shang Cai and must ask for reinforcements. Now the people of Cai are weak and the people of Wu are strong. Only the overlord of the north can compete. But... if you want to ask for reinforcements,
It will take time for reinforcements to arrive."
The delaying tactic may not have worked before, but it is still useful now, especially the Wu people who are simply disgusting, bit by bit, eradicating all the power around Xincai.
Even now, many people in Xincai City know that Cai Mei, the Shangcai doctor, and Cai Xi, the peace officer, have actually surrendered to Li Jie and are highly regarded!
This is the most shocking thing in the city of Xincai. You must know that the split of the clans in Cai State did not happen overnight. It lasted for a hundred years. In the meantime, events such as "brothers became brothers and Cai Hou died" and other incidents occurred.
Dr. Tsai, like Dr. Chua Mei, is just a party that lost power in the political struggle in the past few decades.
With Cai Mei's talents, she was able to sneak into the position of Doctor Cai, but more unlucky people directly became the down-and-out nobles. Even in Wei Zheng and Qi Lu, there were many "wanderers" in the Cai Kingdom.
There are not a few beggars like Ba, the master of the Six Kingdoms, but they are more low-key and unknown.
After all, Cai Guo's "containing Ji content" is much higher.
"Reinforcements from all counties, calculating the time, should have arrived at Xincai at this time, but..."
The counselor who spoke reminded Yang Tongue again that they could only rely on themselves to slow down the troops, and relying on the county soldiers was basically useless.
When we went out in five directions to plunder wealth and land, it was of course very exciting.
But now, the sequelae are showing up.
Some Cai Guo sergeants who had already made enough money had no intention of defending their homeland.
It’s none of their business? You’ve already made a lot of money, so why take risks and go shopping with the Wu people?
Who doesn’t like to torture food? Cai people also like to torture food!
"Who can be the envoy..."
"Report to the doctor!"
Before Yang Tongue had finished speaking, he heard someone outside shouting, "The Wu people have sent an envoy to the city. The person who came is Mr. Yunzhen, a senior official from Chu State!"
"Yun Zhenlu!"
Yang Yanhu stood up suddenly, his whole face was twitching, and he felt chills running down his spine at this moment. Even if Li Jie sent Cai Mei over, he would not be like this, but Yun Zhenlin, this is different.
Chu people.
It is not that Yang Tongue is afraid of Yun Zhen Lu, but Cai Guo of Yang Ton Gu is afraid of Chu State of Yun Zhen Lu.
Although some people already know that Yun Zhenlu was captured alive by Li Jie, no one knows exactly what happened next. Only those within the "rebels" understand the twists and turns.
As for knowing that Yun Zhenlu was planning to join his entire family, very little was known.
Previously, the nobles of Xincai were still mocking Yun Zhenlu as the "escaping doctor". The famous Chu general who was rampant in the Dabie Mountains is now like a lost dog.
Now, those who mocked Yun Zhenlu were speechless.
"Yangtongue Gong!"
When the former counselor heard the message, he immediately took a step forward with his fists clasped and said, "If you cut it off, you'll cut it off!"
If you delay it any longer, who knows what will happen.
As counselors, they naturally use their brains and analyze professionally. They admire Yangtongue, but this is for Yangtongue, not for Cai Guo's doctors.
They really have nothing to say about Cai State itself. Cai Hou, a useless person, has the entire responsibility of guarding the country entrusted to one person.
The success or failure of great political affairs is awarded to one person, whether it is appreciation or haste, this kind of behavior is irresponsible.
In the eyes of the counselors, Marquis Cai is a completely unqualified monarch!
Even if Marquis Cai vowed to go to Zheng State, Wei State or even Jin State invited reinforcements, the counselors agreed that Cai Marquis was not successful enough.
The current situation is just to save ourselves, or in other words, to reduce losses as much as possible.
When everything is irreversible, it is natural to get rid of the mess.
"I'll come with you for a while!"
Yang Tongue's face was serious. His hair was originally black, but now it is extremely white.
Seeing Yang Tongue's determination as always, all the counselors nodded slightly, then bowed and followed Yang Tongue to the southeast city wall.
The reason why we went to the southeast city wall was because outside the south city, there was mud and it was impossible to walk.
At this moment, Yun Zhenlu ordered two of his personal followers to carry the scroll and looked at Xincai City with an indifferent expression. This city was not attacked by the Chu State back then, but it was not conquered.
Later...then the Wu people came.
"God's will."
Yun Zhenling, who stood with his hands behind his back, was full of confidence. He knew that as long as Yang Tongue came forward, everything would be irreversible and Xincai would fall!
Originally, Yun Zhenlu didn't know what method Li Jie would use, but now, Yun Zhenlu was sure of what method Li Jie would use.
The head of Xincai City gradually became crowded with people. In addition to the soldiers, there were also a large number of young people watching.
These Cai people don't look good. Yun Zhenluo has led troops for many years, so he naturally understands that the morale of these defenders is quite low. In addition to morale, their physical condition is obviously not good. There should be a rationing system in the city. As for whether they can sustain it
How long, maybe three years to five years, maybe one month or two months.
After all, the flooding in Xincai came so quickly, and I don’t know if Xincai had any preparations on weekdays.
What's more, Cai Guo sent troops from five directions before and plundered a lot of wealth. I don't know how much of it entered Xincai and how much was taken away by Cai Hou.
"The king of Zhoulai is from Chu, why was he driven here by the Wu people?"
If you lose, you won't lose. With your hands pressed against the city head, Yang Tonggou immediately started taunting after seeing Yun Zhenlu.
In public, the lethality of this kind of ridicule is still very strong, at least it makes Yun Zhenling's arrogant aura shrink back a little.
However, what surprised Yang Tongue was that Yun Zhenlu just smiled indifferently, and then saluted from afar in the car: "I feel relieved to see Mr. Yang Tongue in good health. You are a great talent, and your health is the most important thing."
At the foot of the city wall, the distance between the two of them was actually not that far, and each could clearly see the white hair on the other's temples and the wrinkles on his forehead.
Yang Tongue felt a very bad feeling when he saw Yun Zhenlu, who looked very good.
He looked at the large number of people watching Cai on the left and right walls of the city, and was about to order Qingzhuang to withdraw when he heard Yun Zhenluo loudly say: "How does Yang Tou Jun's troops compare to Bai Ju's Dou Shi?"
Yang Tongue was stunned, and was about to speak when he heard Yun Zhen continue with a smile: "It doesn't matter if it's better or not. At that time, Bai Ju Dou's clan raised troops to cross Hengshan, and they were defeated in both battles by Jiang Yinzi. Then
The official Quan Huang, who is under the control of the senior officials in the country, is not allowed to enter the Ling Pass. The day before yesterday, Yingdu sent a message that Master Dou was arrogant and was meddling in side affairs, and he was punished by the Queen Mother of Yingdu."
"..."
These words made Yang Yanju's face become extremely ugly. His hand that was pressed against the city wall could not help but scratch out three or four finger marks.
He was not shocked by the failure of Dou Shi and Dou Huang, but on such an occasion, so many Cai people around him heard the news.
That doctor, the "national scholar with an arrow in his back", was actually defeated?!
What's even more frightening is that Sui Guo actually formed an alliance with Li Jie, and it must be Zeng Shan, the senior official of Sui State, who personally presided over the alliance!
Otherwise, Yun Zhenlu would not have said that.
The originally fragile military spirit was now completely reduced to a glass that fell to the ground and shattered all over the ground.
On the top of the city, whispers actually sounded. Such military discipline made Yun Zhenling immediately disdainful. If he didn't hold a heavy responsibility for his contempt for the Cai people, he probably wanted to show it.
"Yingdu Qi Biography, I don't know Lord Yang Tou, but do you want to take a look?"
After saying that, Yun Zhenlu stretched out his left hand and motioned for his attendant to come forward. The attendant held the scroll and raised it high. Obviously, this was the announcement from Yingdu to all counties.
With Yun Zhenlu's qualifications, it is not difficult to get a job.
"I, the State of Cai, will never interfere in the affairs of the State of Chu!"
Yang Tongue has already determined that Yun Zhenlu's arrival today will disrupt his military morale.
Just as he was about to break up with Yun Zhenluo like this, he heard the Cai people around him talking anxiously.
The Cai people have heard the reputation of the "Arrow-bearing Scholar" Dou Shi the most. Dabie Mountain is also called "Hengshan" in the Chu State. The Cai State also often calls Dabie Mountain "Hengshan", and the main name of Baiju Dou Clan is "Hengshan Mountain".
The strength lies on both sides of the Dabie Mountains.
Therefore, in addition to the title of "Arrow-bearing Scholar", the fighting master also has the title of "Hengshan Scholar".
But now, this once famous "Hengshan National Scholar" has been defeated by Li Jie?
Or twice?!
Previously, he mocked Yun Zhenlu, the doctor from the state, as the "escape doctor", but at least Yun Zhenlu is still alive.
Where is the "Scholar of Hengshan"? He's dead? Or was he killed by that Queen Mother of Chu?!
"Young Tongue Lord never interferes in the affairs of the Chu Kingdom, so he behaves like a gentleman. But now, Jiang Yinzi of the Wu Kingdom has led his army. I wonder if you can turn a blind eye?"
After saying that, Yun Zhenlu turned around and stretched out his right hand, "I came here today for two things. One is that Bai Ju Dou Shi was executed by the Queen Mother of Yingdu, which you already know. The other thing is related to Wu State. I don't know.
Mr. Tongue, would you like to know?"
Yun Zhenluo spoke very slowly, but in a loud voice. He wanted to make sure that everyone on the top of the city could hear him clearly.
When he arrived at the city, he was still a little scared. What if Cai Guoyou, a stupid man, came up and shot an arrow? How unjust would he be?
After all, Cai people are still afraid of the identity of the Chu State official!
Hearing what Yun Zhenlu said, Yang Tongue had the intention to refuse, but he couldn't refuse. There were so many Cai people watching around, and there were a large number of "rebels" outside the city. He couldn't say that the affairs of Wu State were trivial.
Bar!
"good."
Yun Zhenlu nodded with a smile, and then said loudly: "The country of Yue was rude to the country of Wu. The King of Wu was angry, so he gathered all the heroes from the five lakes and marched south to destroy Yue!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an old soldier at the top of Xincai City suddenly let out an "ah" sound, and screams were heard. The old soldier covered his heart, staggered, and fell from the top of the city.
Boom!
That loud noise caused the entire city of Xincai to fall into deathly silence.
Yun Zhenlu was obviously frightened and almost squatted down to avoid the plot, but when he saw that it was Cai Guo's city guard, he fell directly from the top of the city to his death, and he was immediately overjoyed.
"God willing!"
With a loud shout, Yun Zhenlu burst into laughter at the top of the city, "God's will! Hahahahahaha..."
