Chapter 765: This general’s lobbying skills were learned from Lord Chang’an!
May 16, the 14th year of King Qin’s reign.
Outside Julu City, a large flag with the word "Su" flying high.
More than 7,000 Qin troops arrived outside the south gate of Julu City and formed an army array.
Ma Fuyang, the magistrate of Julu County, held the city wall with both hands, looked at Su Jiao with caution, and murmured softly: "It is the Qin Kingdom's number one general, Su Jiao, who came in person!"
"Our Julu City is in danger!"
As a direct descendant of the Ma Fu clan, Ma Fuyang knew very well that Zhao Jia had entered Dai County before the fall of Handan.
Daijun is the frontline against the Xiongnu all year round. Daijun’s soldiers and horses are Zhao’s elite troops that can rival Handan’s soldiers and horses.
More importantly, in order to prevent Li Mu's subordinates from all his cronies from causing Li Mu to act uncontrollably, Guo Kai did not allow Daijun troops to participate in this battle in the name of defending against the Huns.
In this battle, Daijun's soldiers and horses only had to deal with the harassment of Qin General Li Xin, and there were few casualties.
What does it mean when the former prince of Zhao State and the elite soldiers of Daijun are combined?
The restoration of the Zhao Kingdom is just around the corner!
So Ma Fuyang was neither prepared to surrender to Qin nor Yan, but just wanted to hold on to Julu City.
When Zhao Jia recast the State of Zhao, Ma Fuyang returned to the State of Zhao with Julu City as a loyal defender of the city, and with this, he jumped to the pinnacle of power in the State of Zhao.
The benefits it brought were something that Qin and Yan could not give him no matter what!
But now, with the arrival of Su Jiao, Ma Fuyang's plan has become in jeopardy.
When the Qin army was reorganized, Su Jiao drew his gun and rode his horse to the south gate of Julu City. He looked at the city gate with cold eyes and said in a deep voice: "The king of Zhao is here, I am here. The general's flag is here."
"What do you want to face?"
"You decide for yourself!"
Ma Fuyang:...
I originally thought that the Qin Congress would lobby me.
Who would have thought that the State of Qin would directly threaten me!
Ma Fuyang's tone also became particularly stiff: "I have heard for a long time about the great reputation of Qin Captain Su Jiao."
"However, our Julu City is not a weak city. The Julu soldiers are by no means weak!"
"How can the blood feud between Qin and Zhao disappear with just a piece of royal decree!"
"Today Qin has captured my king, dug up our country, killed my soldiers, and pulled out my city walls."
"The response of Zhao is nothing but swords!"
At the head of Julu City, two More than a thousand county soldiers raised their weapons in the air and shouted in unison:
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Listening to the determined shouts of kill in Julu City, Su Jiao felt a little ashamed: "Your Majesty, can you persuade Yanghu City to surrender?"
"I failed to persuade Julu City to surrender."
"It seems that I have not learned your skills after all, and I still need to practice hard!"
Fortunately, Ying Chengxuan did not ask them to lobby for the castle walls of Guzhao, or even ask them to capture these castles, so the self-blame in Su Jiao's heart was not too strong.
After taking a deep look at the horse suit sheep, Su Jiao reined up his horse and turned around, shouting in a deep voice: "Pass this general's order!"
"Siege the east, west and south gates of Julu City and create an attack City Equipment.”
"Get ready to seize the city!"
Ma Fuyang:? ? ?
No, you won’t persuade me any more?
Although I have no intention of surrendering, you can at least give me some more advice!
Just as Su Jiao's troops were besieging Julu City, a scout also reported the movements of Su Jiao's troops to the ears of Yan Duwei Yi Xun.
Yi Xun frowned: "It was the Qin Kingdom's most powerful general, Su Jiao, who led the army?!"
Although Yi Xun had not seen Su Jiao with his own eyes, he had the shadow of a famous tree.
Since Su Jiao can be hailed as the most powerful general in the Qin State with so many elite soldiers and no one questions it, it means that this person must be unparalleled in bravery!
But looking back at the 20,000 soldiers behind him, Yi Xun felt a little more at ease.
So what if Su Jiao can fight again?
Our army is strong!
Yi Xun made a decisive decision: "Pass this general's order!"
"The front group will march urgently with my general. We must arrive outside Julu City as soon as possible to let the Julu defenders understand that they do not need to fight against Qin alone. Army."
"The middle and rear troops are marching at normal speed, maintaining their combat strength, and being ready to fight against the Qin army at any time."
Two to five hundred commanders from each army responded in unison! After the order, Yi Xun led his troops to the front and led six thousand Yan troops to advance quickly!
However, when Yi Xun arrived at Julu City, he did not see the Qin army attacking Julu City. Instead, he saw that the Qin army had closed its tents and began to turn northwest!
Yi Xun's heart skipped a beat: "The Qin army has left?"
"Could it be that Julu City has fallen into the hands of the Qin army?!"
"The whole army Accelerate! ”
Yi Xun’s front part, which was already in a hurry, accelerated again.
It wasn't until the Zhao flag fluttering in the wind at the top of Julu City caught Yi Xun's eyes that Yi Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ordering his soldiers to wait in the distance, Yi Xun only led his troops to ride their horses and approached the south gate of Julu City. He cupped his hands and shouted: "Doctor Dayan, Captain Yi Xun, have seen horses serving as county magistrates!"
Without reaching out to hit the smiling man, Yi Xun greeted him with courtesy, and Ma Fuyang returned the greeting: "Da Zhao Dafu and Julu County Magistrate Ma Fuyang have met Yi Duwei."
< br>"I wonder what you, Captain Yi, do for coming here?"
Yi Xun said sincerely: "I came here not only to plan for Ma Fu's county magistrate's long-term plan, but also to plan for Julu's superiors. Life!”
Ma Fuyang smiled and shook his head: "Could it be that if my official surrenders to Yan, it is a long-term plan."
"Is it possible for the giant deer to surrender to Yan and survive?"
Yi Xun He nodded and said: "This is natural!"
"Qin Captain Su Jiao has led his troops. If Julu does not surrender to Yan, it will only be a matter of time before the Qin army attacks Julu City."
< br>“During the expedition, there will inevitably be countless casualties!”
"Moreover, the Qin State was tyrannical and rude, repeatedly punishing its ministers severely, and even went to any lengths to massacre the people. It would be difficult for a virtuous minister with a well-respected family background, such as Magistrate Ma Fu, to develop his ambitions in Qin Ding, and his family might even be destroyed after his death. The state of Qin is weakened."
"On the other hand, I, the Prince of Yan, are kind, generous, and generous."
"As long as Ma obeys the county magistrate and surrenders to Yan, I, the Prince of Yan, are willing to protect Ma. He can even serve as the magistrate of Julu County. "I thought that the people of Julu would be happy if Julu County is still under the rule of Magistrate Mafu."
Yi Xun's smile became gentler: "If Magistrate Ma Fu has any questions, we can discuss it in detail!"
Compared with Su Jiao's lobbying, Yi Xun's move was orthodox lobbying.
Allowing Ma Fuyang to continue serving as the magistrate of Julu County not only allowed Ma Fuyang to preserve his current interests, but also preserved the interests of his subordinates.
Yi Xun even took the initiative to open his mouth, willing to let Ma Fuyang add conditions and negotiate again.
But orthodox lobbying is not necessarily effective lobbying.
Lobbying with swords is not necessarily inferior to lobbying with interests!
Ma Fuyang didn't show any emotion at all, and just asked: "If our Julu City returns to Yan, and then the Qin army attacks our Julu City."
"Can the Yan army guarantee that it will help our Julu City block the Qin army's attack?" Attack?"
Yi Xun was speechless.
Yan State couldn’t even stop Zhao State’s military front, so how could it block Qin State’s military front?
Yi Xun could only turn around and say: "Qin is violent!"
"However, Qin is also extremely exhausted, with empty national power and unstable people."
"I thought that as long as we work together, we will be able to repel the Qin army!"
< br>The horses and sheep sneered in their hearts.
Wang Yan of Zhao once thought the same way, but at that time, Yan State was willing to send troops to help me, Zhao?
But Ma Fuyang did not show it, but nodded slightly: "This matter is of great importance."
"I will discuss it with all my colleagues in the city before we can come to a conclusion."
Yi Xun breathed a sigh of relief and immediately handed over his hands: "In that case, I will camp outside the city and wait for Ma Fu County The order’s decision!”
“If you have any questions about the magistrate Ma Fu, feel free to ask me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a roar suddenly sounded.
“Kill!!!”
The expressions of Yi Xun and Ma Fuyang changed greatly. They both turned to look northwest. They saw that Su Jiao's troops, who had just withdrawn, turned their spearhead and charged back again!
Yi Xun hurriedly faced the city head and raised his hands and said: "The Qin army is attacking again."
"I will ask the magistrate of Ma Fu to fight against the Qin Kingdom with me, Dayan!"
However, Ma Fuyang shook his head: "There are few soldiers in our city, so it is difficult to go out to fight, so we can only guard the city wall."
"Our officers will use Julu City as the base, and use crossbows to assist Yi The captain's office."
"I believe that as long as you and I work together, we will be able to defeat the Qin army!"
Yi Xun's expression changed.
Julu County Chengnan Palace Wen also hurriedly persuaded: "County magistrate, Qin General Su Jiao is domineering and rebellious, and the Qin State has even regarded our Julu City as its own."
"The lower official thinks that no matter whether we, Julu City, intend to surrender to Yan or not, we can join hands with Yi Xun's troops to repel the enemy!"
Ma Fuyang sneered coldly: "Join hands with the Yan army. Retreat the enemy?”
"We, the Great Zhao, have made alliances with King Xi of Yan several times, and King Xi of Yan has taken advantage of the alliance to attack our Great Zhao several times."
"This time, our Great Zhao has made an alliance with Yan again, and the three states of Yan have One hundred thousand soldiers and horses surrounded only 50,000 Qin troops and could not attack for a long time to preserve their strength."
"When Zhao was severely damaged by Qin, Yan's true nature was exposed. Instead of helping Zhao, he took advantage of it. We, the Great Zhao, are so weak that we have to seize the city.”
“With the shamelessness of the Yan State, how dare Nangong County Prime Minister to associate with the Yan State?”
“I’m afraid it will change in the end. Our army fought to the death with the Qin army outside the city, but the Yan army took advantage of our army's weakness to seize our city!"
Nangong Wen was speechless after what he said, and Yi Xun even covered his face with his hands in shame.
Having no shame in inviting Ma Fuyang to fight against the enemy with him, Yi Xun turned around and roared: "Soldiers!"
"Form up and stop the enemy!"
Yi Xun The troops quickly formed their formations.
But Yi Xun's troops, who had come all the way from afar, had just experienced a rapid march.
Facing the Qin army who suddenly turned back and fought back, how much fighting strength could they still retain after being exhausted?
Su Jiao, who was leading the way, knocked away Yi Xun's gunfire from the side with just one collision!
"All the officers and soldiers followed behind me."
"Kill the enemy!"
The spear in his hand flickered and pierced the throat of another Yan soldier. , Su Jiao stared at Yi Xun with his eyes tightly, and shouted excitedly: "Great Qin Su Jiao is here!"
"General Yan, please leave!"
Yi Xun tightened his grip on the reins and did not dare to confront Su Jiao head-on. He could only keep changing his position and shouted: "Everyone, hold on!"
" Our army is not far behind!"
"As long as our army arrives, we will definitely annihilate the Qin army!"
"Fight to the death!"
Su Jiao's troops plowed smooth paths of flesh and blood through the Yan army like tigers entering a flock of sheep!
Looking at this overwhelming scene, the horses and sheep at the head of the city all turned pale.
Fortunately, Yi Xun's middle and rear troops began to speed up when they heard the killing cry, and arrived at the battlefield within an hour.
Seeing the flags of the middle and rear units in the distance, Yi Xun almost cried with joy, and hurriedly shouted: "Send the order to the rear to reinforce our unit!"
"Send the order to the middle to go around to the west. Surround the Qin army!”
Yi Xun thought that a big war was going to break out next.
But Yi Xun never expected that Su Jiao just glanced at the direction of Yi Xun's middle and rear parts from a distance, then tightened the reins and said without hesitation: "Turn!"
"Withdraw the troops!"
After saying this, Su Jiao's troops ran away.
Even Meng Yi, who was running eastward, could not match his running speed!
