Chapter 1115 Changping County Lord 63
Even if you plan to open the city gate, you won't die! When the Xiongnu envoy heard this, he immediately started shaking, but his arms were still held captive.
Xining walked up to General Zhang and asked with a smile: "General, please tell me something so that someone can take the letter back and have a peaceful sleep tonight."
County Magistrate Zhou looked around and said cautiously: "General, tell me!"
General Zhang hesitated and asked tentatively: "If the city gate is opened, will you retreat five miles?"
The envoy immediately said: "I dare to swear to God that early tomorrow morning, our army will immediately retreat five miles and wait for the general to leave before entering the city."
"Okay!" General Zhang finally summoned up the courage: "I will lead my troops and leave early tomorrow morning. That's it."
"General, no!" Several officers and soldiers in the tent were immediately shocked.
A young general also wearing armor clasped his fists and saluted: "The country cannot be surrendered. Secondly, if we leave, the people in the city will be in disaster. General, please think twice!"
"General, please think twice!" Someone was already kneeling down.
County Magistrate Zhou was silent and sat there with his head lowered. It's hard to say, since he couldn't decide on the mobilization of troops and horses for a fifth-grade general.
"This matter is no longer discussed, that's it!" General Zhang waved his arm and spoke firmly, leaving no room for discussion.
Suddenly standing next to General Zhang, the head of Changping County took out the dagger from his sleeve. As his body and arms turned, a silver light flashed...
There was silence in the tent, and everyone stared at General Zhang.
The Huns came to envoy...
County Magistrate Zhou...
Dead soldiers, maids, officers and soldiers...
General Zhang wanted to say something, but he couldn't. Only blood bubbles came out of his open mouth.
He lowered his head and blood spurted from his neck. He raised his fingers and subconsciously covered his neck, but his palms were all warm and smooth... That was his own blood, the blood spurting from the wound...
The head of Changping County, holding a blood-stained dagger in his hand, looked at him coldly and said in a harder tone than before: "The general who flees without fighting or abandons the city will die!!!"
At this time, his eyes began to blur... General Zhang's strong body tilted to the side, fell to the ground with a "plop", and never moved again. His eyes were widened, but there was no light in them.
Even to his death, he could not believe that the seemingly weak county leader could kill so decisively and so quickly. He actually dared to take action himself and take the life of a fierce general on the battlefield.
The admiration of the dead soldiers for the county lord at this time was as endless as the water of the Yellow River.
There is no need to throw anything, the county leader can do it himself!
Moreover, the sword is swung so fast that the long sleeves of the clothes float up, which is very beautiful and is better than those who specialize in killing people.
The Xiongnu envoy was also stunned, with swollen lips and staring eyes, looking at the general lying on the couch. The pool of blood flowing out of his neck was still spreading outside, staining the couch red.
Xining turned around and asked: "Who is leading the troops this time?"
Anyway, he was dead. The envoy raised his head, looked up at the sky, and didn't answer.
"Speak, speak quickly!" Now the officers and soldiers in the tent became energetic. It was so refreshing. If it hadn't been for this idiot general, why would they have been retreating like a lost dog?
A dead man suggested: "County Lord, use the punishment."
"No need!" Xining slowly walked off the couch, actually to avoid the blood. She looked as usual: "He will tell."
There was a smile at the corner of her mouth: "You just need to tell me who is leading the troops outside the north and south city gates. Without names, I don't know how the county owner wrote to you, and I don't know who I am negotiating with."
Come to enlightenment and give him the letter. This means that he does not have to die, but he still needs to deliver the letter. Immediately said: "The north gate is the eldest prince Huxie Maodun, and the south gate is the fourth prince Uweda."
Hehe, Uvida is here as expected, but unfortunately he won't let him collect the body for him this time!
Xining asked: "Are you the envoy of the great prince or Uvida?"
The envoy replied: "I was sent by the fourth prince."
Xining thought for a while: "County Magistrate Zhou, can you still hold the pen?"
County Magistrate Zhou is still in shock, but he came to his senses after being asked: "I'm a lower official, it's okay, I can still write."
"Okay, write some for me to the fourth prince!" Xining put the bloody knife into the scabbard: "Send it with this."
Outside the south city gate, five thousand men and horses were stationed, and Aobao stood one by one in the wind and snow.
Uvida was in the tent, took the knife, pulled it out and looked at it. The lord of Changping County took the knife he sent and killed the general who was guarding the city.
"This is a letter from the Lord of Changping County to the fourth prince." The messenger handed over a bamboo slip.
There are only a few words on the slip: "If you hit me, I will hit you, and we will end our friendship."
When the mayor of Changping County said it, County Magistrate Zhou took the pen and didn't come back to his senses for a while.
Seeing the words, Uweda suddenly laughed. This county owner is really interesting.
Seeing the fourth prince smiling, his face was somewhat refined with Han ancestry, showing a handsome appearance that made the Huns feel uncomfortable and disdainful. The envoy didn't know why the fourth prince was laughing. Was he laughing at the county lord for not overestimating his own abilities?
He had never seen the county lord look like when he was killing someone. In the blink of an eye, before he could see how the sword was drawn, a fully armored general fell in front of him.
Uvida reached the side, picked up a pen and wrote a few words under the bamboo slip: "Send this to the head of Changping County."
What? Want to go back!
The messenger almost fainted from the fright, and then managed to escape with a small life, but he was actually asked to go back and deliver the message. This county boss is so scary, wuwuwu, can I stop doing this job? He wanted to report his illness and go back to his hometown. It would be better to freeze to death and starve to death than to go back again.
General Zhang's body was placed directly on the south gate, and at this time several soldiers were building a wall behind the city gate with bricks.
In accordance with the order, they blocked the entire city gate and refused to let the Xiongnu in.
This is an order from the Lord of Changping County...
Xining Fengmu looked around the tent: "Who is the deputy general?"
A young general came forward and saluted: "The last general Xun Liao pays homage to the Lord of Changping County!"
Xining turned to the sword stand, picked up the sword on the stand, and walked to General Xun: "The Lord of this county has ordered you to be the commander, lead the officers and soldiers, defend the city, and wait for reinforcements!"
Xun Liao took the sword with both hands and said: "The last general has received your order. If the city is with me, I will be destroyed. If the city is destroyed, I will perish. I will sacrifice myself for the country. I will never neglect it!"
"Okay!" Xining turned around and walked to General Zhang's body, raised his head and looked down with contempt: "Place his body at the south city gate, and I will let him see whether this city can be defended or not."
< br>
The city gate was blocked, so the people behind him shouted: "You go and eat the mutton soup noodles quickly, it's still hot. The county boss will also distribute cotton-padded clothes and shoes later."
Several soldiers stuffed their hands covered with frostbite and turned purple from the cold into their sleeves, and walked over shrunken: "Is that good?"
"Yes, this winter thing has been used for countless times."
Winter comes too quickly, and it has been a mild winter in previous years. The winter supplies in the warehouse are not enough to keep all the soldiers warm. It is not known how long it will take for the capital to distribute military supplies. For this reason, many people write letters home, hoping that their families will send winter clothes. During this time, everyone was almost frozen.
