Chapter 285: Recruiting brave generals, feeling happy, awakening to dream, no sleepiness at all
"Haha, General Xiao, I surprised you!"
Hearing that an enemy general had surrendered, Lin Zhijing welcomed him out of the tent with a big smile.
Under the light of the lights, looking at Xiao Zheng who looked a little embarrassed, he clasped his fists.
Now that he has ended up like this, to be honest, how could Xiao Zheng have thought about it before leaving the city?
"The defeated general, please see General Lin!"
Xiao Zheng bowed to Lin Zhijing in shame.
"Why be so polite!"
Lin Zhijing's hands were quick and his eyes were weak, so he held him up.
At that moment, several people entered the tent one after another, and the guards immediately served tea.
"General Xiao, I see you are also a passionate man. Now in this court, oh, Lin really doesn't want to talk about it."
Lin Zhijing stopped talking and looked at Xiao Zheng.
By this time, Xiao Zheng had already made up his mind to surrender. How could he not understand the meaning of Lin Zhijing's words?
"General Lin, originally it was said that 'loyal ministers do not serve two masters', but no, no! Don't worry, Xiao Zheng has studied poetry and calligraphy, and has a little understanding of the great righteousness. Now that he has committed a crime and surrendered, he will ride in front of and behind the horse, letting you drive! What's more, Xiao Zhengsu heard
I really admire the King of England for his great chivalrous deeds in the past. Now I have thrown myself under the throne. I can see the blue sky after clearing the clouds. I am so lucky!"
As he spoke, Xiao Zheng looked solemn.
But regardless of whether his words were true or false, Lin Zhijing had to accept them all. With Xiao Zheng, wouldn't it be better to defeat Xinye City and have a better chance of winning?
"Haha, General Xiao is indeed a good man! This Ma Jun is unjust, it doesn't matter if he disobeys, and the court is unkind, it is the opposite. King Ying is brave, magnanimous, and wise. I will see you in a few days.
You must be very happy!"
Lin Zhijing was in a happy mood and praised Xiao Zheng more.
For a moment, one account is in harmony.
…
But here, watching Xiao Zheng rush into the enemy camp, Ma Jun felt very complicated, hating and angry.
Why did he want to force Xiao Zheng into the hands of the enemy?
However, the situation at that time was that Xiao Zheng was retreating steadily. If the suspension bridge was not closed in time, there was no doubt that the enemy cavalry would follow suit. Once the enemy troops were allowed to attack, it would take a lot of effort, and maybe even more effort would be required.
…
Thinking of this, Ma Jun felt that he had nothing to do with Xiao Zheng. Now that the reinforcements had not arrived, he did not want to rush out of the city to fight the enemy. He felt that even if the moat was filled in, he was still sure to defend it.
Xinye City.
"Brothers, be on guard against enemy night attacks!"
He gave the order coldly and slowly walked away with his hands behind his back.
The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to be careless in the slightest after experiencing the somewhat frightening scene just now.
Many people did sympathize deeply with Xiao Zheng's experience, but they also knew better that in the face of a powerful enemy, it was easier to defend than to attack. It was far safer to huddle within the city wall than to go out to resist the enemy.
…
There will be no more fighting after this night.
For Lin Zhijing, the goal has been achieved. According to the estimated time, Ma Rubao and Wang Liang should have crossed the Baihe River from the upper reaches. If nothing unexpected happens, they will reach Xinye from behind at noon tomorrow. At that time, it will be the opportunity to attack the city with all their strength.
.
Therefore, that night, both the offensive and defensive sides felt at ease, and everyone was able to have a good sleep.
However, this day will always be bright.
What needs to be faced must be faced.
Early the next morning, while Ma Jun was still struggling with the nightmare he had had in the middle of the night, he was awakened by an urgent knock on the door.
"Who is it? Why are you so alarmed!"
In a rage, Ma Jun stood up from his bed and picked up his sword.
He opened the door suddenly and saw a dusty sergeant standing outside. He was so frightened by his angry shouting that he trembled.
