Xiao Shilian left simply, not only because he knew that there was no room for wasting more time now, but also because he knew that the difficulties Li Xingchen and the others would face in the future would not be simpler than the difficulties he would face.
So the only thing we can do now is to go all out.
Standing on the top of the city, Li Xingchen watched Xiao Shilian leave with solemnity. He didn't know whether he had sent Xiao Shilian out of this narrow escape or sent him into a more dangerous situation. At this moment, Li Xingchen had no time to take care of the left guard general Xiao Mo.
He had no time to think about other people who were not related to the entire battlefield.
Among the people present, the only one who really gave Li Xinchen the courage to entrust such an important task was Xiao Shilian. If possible, Li Xinchen wished he could go there in person, but there was no such possibility. Once Yuchijiong discovered Nanchen in the city,
When a general is replaced, he will naturally be alert.
Not to mention that the reinforcements will be ill-fated by then, I am afraid that this group of cavalry leaving the city to warn will also fall into the interception and killing of the Northern Zhou army.
Xiao Shilian's life and death, the moment he turned around and left, were no longer within Li Xinchen's control. Even Li Xinchen had no control over his own life and the lives of more than two thousand soldiers in the city.
This feeling was really not good, and Li Xingchen couldn't help but curse. What he needs to face next is a more powerful enemy.
There was a sense of solemnity on the top of the city. Chen Zhishen and others looked at Li Xinchen with sharp eyes. They did not know what kind of fate Li Xinchen would bring to them in the end, but they were clear in their hearts.
At this point they have no choice.
At this time, they had increased trust in Li Xingchen.
Slowly turning around, Li Xingchen looked at the figure in front of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses below the city, and said loudly: "I don't know what General Yuchi's conditions are. Can you clarify a few things?"
In the firelight, a smile appeared on the corner of Yuchi Jiong's mouth. In the absolute comparison of strength, it was obvious that no matter how stubborn this young general Nan Chen was, he would eventually lower his head and compromise. And for Yuchi Jiong, this was just a matter of time.
It's enough.
Just ask you to relax your vigilance.
The old general waved his hand and asked the general behind him to come up, while the other guard anxiously took off the water bag and handed it to Yuchi Jiong. He had been shouting for so long, which actually consumed a lot of energy from Yuchi Jiong.
After all, he is a veteran who is over 60 years old, so naturally he can no longer support himself.
Looking at the general riding his horse forward, Yuchijiong sipped his saliva and whispered: "Ah Shun, try to explain the conditions in more detail. After this young Daoyi general boosted his morale, he wanted to negotiate terms with us again. Explain
He is actually quite timid, and he was just trying to boost morale and gain some leverage before."
"Generals of Chen State on the city, listen!" The Northern Zhou general who followed was none other than Yuchi Shun, the youngest son who had been following Yuchi Jong in the southern and northern wars. The wind and frost of the battlefield did not leave any mark on the face of this general who was born as a general.
Too many carvings give him a handsome and unrestrained temperament that is completely different from his father.
After a pause, Yuchi Shun then shouted loudly: "Our general, for the sake of your brave defense of the isolated city with a weak force, does not want the two sides to meet each other. As long as you can open the city gate and surrender to me, the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty will be defeated."
The general will use his wealth and life as a guarantee. All generals can be promoted to the third level. If all the generals are willing to stay, they will be rewarded. If they are willing to leave, we will provide ten times the travel expenses!"
Without waiting for a reply from the city, Yuchishun said to himself: "Those who obey the heavens will prosper, and those who go against the heavens will perish. Now we have the great Zhou Dynasty in the north, suppressing the Turks in the north, and holding Sichuan, Shu, Jianghuai and the south. The Chen Kingdom is just a corner of the country.
The emperor is fatuous, and there are intrigues above the court, and intrigues below the court! If you work hard for the Chen Kingdom like this, you may not necessarily get any good results in the end!"
Chen Zhishen and others gritted their teeth, and the hands holding the handles of the swords even trembled slightly. If Li Xingchen hadn't kept silent, they would have ordered the arrows to be released long ago. These damn Northern Zhou barbarians are really useless.
I know the sky is high and the earth is high!
Li Xingchen whispered: "Chen Zhishen!"
"The general is here!" Chen Zhishen responded hurriedly and looked at Li Xingchen expectantly, thinking that Li Xingchen wanted to order the crossbowmen to gather together and shoot these rude guys into hedgehogs.
However, Li Xingchen just said lightly: "Leave two generals behind and disperse the rest to appease the soldiers. At this moment, no arrows can fly out, and no one can speak evil words to the people below the city!"
"This..." Chen Zhishen's face suddenly changed slightly. The other generals also had angry looks on their faces. They were almost being scolded by others. No matter how restrained we are, what does it matter?!
Is it possible that the war leader really intends to negotiate with the Northern Zhou people about the conditions for giving way? Then everyone really cannot accept it. What is the difference between it and betraying the country?!
Li Xingchen gently tapped the battlements with his hand: "All we can do now is to try our best to delay. The Northern Zhou people need time, and we...can't give them time!"
Chen Zhishen shivered, nodded hurriedly, and left quickly. The other generals did not hesitate any more. They believed that Li Xingchen was not such a person, and believed that what awaited them ahead was survival and victory, not humiliation and retreat.
Looking at the figures of Chen Zhishen and others, Li Xingchen took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "We are all soldiers of Da Chen, and we must never betray Da Chen. But a certain commander-in-chief of more than two thousand men
, and I don’t want to see so many brothers die here in vain, so..."
Yuchi Jiong raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood what Li Xingchen meant, and winked at Yuchishun. He expected that the other party would make such a request. Yuchishun hurriedly shouted at the top of his voice:
"General Li in the city, please rest assured. You were born in the southern country, so your attachment is inevitable. My general admires your character and will not intimidate you. As long as you agree to get out of the way, let my army and the baggage behind it pass.
, then we are willing to leave enough food and fodder for your army for half a month and enough travel expenses for you to return home. At that time, all you have to do is say that you will be mobilized by our army to leave the mountain and break through the city, and my general will also cooperate. "
Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows: "It seems that Yuchi Jiong really used a light force."
"General, what do you say?" A general standing next to Li Xingchen asked curiously. His name was Cao Zhong. He was originally under Pei Zilie, but was later transferred to Xiao Shilian, so this is the first time he belongs directly to Li Xingchen.
The conductor was somewhat suspicious of Li Xingchen's words.
Li Xingchen chuckled: "Will Yuchi Jong cooperate? How?"
Cao Zhong was startled, and then he came to his senses: "General, what you mean is that Yuchi Jiong's light troops that passed through Jingshan Mountain can also be used as a reason to exonerate us?"
Li Xingchen nodded slightly: "This Yu Chijiong wants to kill two birds with one stone..."
"General, what should we do?" Cao Zhong could hear some frustration in Li Xingchen's words, and he asked worriedly.
Could it be that Li Xingchen really wanted to...
