Chapter three hundred and forty eight?
Anding County, Meiyang City.
The city was hung with flags of the word "Han" and soldiers holding spears and armor everywhere, with a solemn expression. The soldiers in the city were deserted and chaotic, and there were many Han people, and they were still in shock.
The Huns invaded Anding County, and the counties were successively captured. These people escaped from the counties.
Originally, under Zhang Xiu's rule, Anding County was very prosperous.
This time, the incident was a huge blow to Anding County.
However, the people of Anding County said that this kind of thing was very common. Since the Han Dynasty declined, the Huns, Wuwans, and Qiangs have successively in rebellion.
The Huns invaded Anding County not once or twice, but this time it was very large.
The governor's mansion in the city, in the hall.
Liangzhou Governor Min Chun sat upright in the main seat, with a positive aura and a powerful force without anger. Below were Yang Qiu, the governor of Anding County, and the civil and military officials in the city.
Min Chun showed a little smile on his face, looked around at everyone, and said, "Although there are many cavalry in the Huns, there are only light cavalry and no siege equipment. There are five thousand elite soldiers in the city, with sufficient training and excellent equipment. I sent someone to Chang'an for help. It is safe to defend the city."
"Yeah." Yang Qiu and most civil and military officials nodded, and their expressions were relatively relaxed.
But a young man stood up and said to Min Chun seriously: "Mr. Governor, we were ordered to guard Anding County, but the Huns captured most of the county towns. Now only Meiyang City is left. I feel deeply ashamed. The current major policy of the court is to attack Ma Teng and Han Sui. The Huns invaded the south, which is to add trouble to the Grand Sima."
Min Chun, Yang Qiu and others immediately showed a serious look and nodded slightly.
Although the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the enemy is large and we are scarce. However, it is indeed very disgraceful to let the Huns attack Anding County, and there is nothing to relax.
Min Chun also heard the other party’s implicit meaning and couldn’t help but say, “Chief Wu has a plan to retreat to the enemy?”
This person's surname is Wu and Yang, and he is the chief clerk of the county magistrate.
"No." Wu Yang raised his head and said with confidence. Min Chun, Yang Qiu and others couldn't help but look shocked. Wu Yang then stood up and said, "There is only one courage, as thick as a bowl mouth. The lower official is willing to go out of the city to negotiate with King Zuo Xian Yu Luosang. I hope to retreat to the enemy by verbal words."
Min Chun, Yang Qiu and others couldn't help but feel respect. No matter whether Wu Yang could do it or not, they were indeed loyal and righteous people, and they were as brave as a fight.
Min Chun couldn't help but cherish Wu Yang and persuaded: "The chief clerk is loyal and righteous. But the Huns are barbarians, and they may harm the chief clerk."
"I am just one person, and I will be killed by the Huns. If I can retreat to the enemy, protect Anding County and let Grand Sima Minggong and the court relieve their worries, it will be a huge profit."
After saying that, Wu Yang suddenly stood up, bowed to Min Chun, and turned around and left.
Min Chun opened his mouth and didn't say anything after all.
What reason can stop a loyal and righteous man from doing what he has determined?
"Oh. The Huns are cruel, and the chief clerk may not return." Yang Qiu couldn't help but sigh as he saw his chief clerk leaving generously.
"Why."
Everyone here sighed.
............
On the other side, Wu Yang rode out of the city gate with passion and went to see the Huns alone.
The Hun cavalry did not make things difficult for Wu Yang, and took Wu Yang to the tent to meet Zuo Xian Wang Yu Luosang.
Yu Luosang sat in the main seat, wearing leather clothes, a leather hat on his head, and a scimitar hung around his waist, with a fierce face.
There are many Hun nobles around.
In the center, a golden roasted whole lamb was roasted with charcoal fire.
"Master Wu. Come to see me. Did Min Chun and others in the city decide to open the city and surrender?" Yu Luosang raised his head and said with a smile.
The Huns were in the Hetao area for a long time and were mixed with the Han people. Regardless of the nobles and civilians, there were many people who could speak Chinese.
"It's the opposite. I'm here to see you (Your Excellency) to persuade you to retreat." Wu Yang said to Yu Luosang's neither humble nor arrogant attitude.
"Hahaha." Yu Luosang and the Hun nobles present seemed to have heard a huge joke, laughing endlessly.
But after laughing, Yu Luosang said sternly: "I have a 100,000 light cavalry, and there are only 5,000 soldiers and horses in your city. Do you let me retreat when I see the difficulties? I will definitely break through Meiyang City, plunder the men, women, young and old in the city as slaves, and collect all the gold, silver and wealth in the city."
"I know. The steel forged by you Han people recently is very outstanding. With the military supplies of Meiyang City, I can go south and attack Bingzhou."
Wu Yang looked suddenly, and among the Southern Xiongnu, he also divided the hawks and doves. The Zuoxian King went south to attack Meiyang City, which turned out to be for military supplies and then captured Bingzhou. He was such a great ambition.
Since that's the case, it's impossible to persuade him with kind words. Wu Yang sneered: "The wise man doesn't say secret words. There are no 100,000 people in the Hun cavalry. You claim to be 100,000, but I think there are only 20,000 cavalry. There are still 5,000 infantry in my city, and there are enough food. It's definitely not a problem to be managed by the city for a year or two."
Speaking of this, Wu Yang bowed to the south and said, "My Grand Sima Minggong holds hundreds of thousands of troops in his hand. He only needs to send a general to lead tens of thousands of elite cavalry to here to defeat you."
"If you are tactful, let go of the people of Anding County who have been plundered by you early and withdraw from Anding County. Otherwise, it is hard for others to say that you, Luosang and you, will probably have different heads and heads."
After saying that, Wu Yang stood with his hands behind his back, sneering.
Among the nobles here, some showed a look of worry. The Grand Sima Zhang Xiu was invincible in the world, and even among the Huns, he was famous.
"Come on. Cut off his ears and nose, cut off his head, and send it to Min Chun." Yu Luosang was furious, stood up suddenly and ordered.
"Hahahaha." Wu Yang laughed loudly when he heard this, his face still not changing.
"If you die, die. Are you still afraid of your ears and nose being cut off? Yu Luosang, I'll wait for you and me to go to the underworld together."
Immediately, two Hun warriors came in, took Wu Yang away, cut off his ears and nose, cut off his head, and sent it to Meiyang City.
"You have heard what this guy said. Zhang Xiu is really hard to deal with. We came at a huge risk. Tomorrow we will attack the city with all our strength and take away military supplies, population, and wealth. Before Zhang Xiu's reinforcements arrive, we will return to the north."
Although Yu Luosang killed Wu Yang, he still had a clear understanding of the other party's threat and said seriously.
"yes."
The Hun nobles were also in awe and answered in unison.
............
In the hall of the governor's mansion, there was a blood-stained wooden box in the hall. The box was opened and now covered.
Everyone, including Min Chun and Yang Qiu, showed anger and sadness.
"Master Wu is really a loyal and righteous man." Min Chun stood up, bent down and bowed to the wooden box, and then ordered someone to say, "Come on. Let the craftsmen use the wood to carve the body for Master Wu. Put it in the coffin, and place it in the city first. Wait until the war is over before burying it back to his hometown."
"promise."
A sting official walked in from outside and took the wooden box away.
Min Chun then sneered and said, "Cut off the Hun who had the courage to send the wooden box back, and let him go back by himself."
"No." Another minor official replied, turned around and walked out.
"I ordered the entire army to be defeated by Bai Su (developed white), and we will fight the Huns to the death at this Meiyang City." Min Chun then showed a stern look and shouted.
"promise."
The civil and military officials agreed and went down.
There was nothing happening that day. Early the next morning, the Huns promoted the horn and led the crowd to attack the city.
After learning the news, Min Chun and Yang Qiu got on their horses and came to the north of the city to watch the situation, but were shocked.
"The Huns are so cruel!!!" Min Chun gritted his teeth and said angrily.
"Damn it!!!" Even Yang Qiu, an elderly thief, had a numb scalp and cursed.
However, the Huns did not attack the city themselves, but let the Han people take the lead as flesh shields to drive the people to attack the city.
The city was filled with the crying of the old and the weak, while the soldiers on the city showed sadness and hesitation.
Min Chun's face showed a sigh, and then he knelt down and bowed deeply to the people outside the city, then straightened his back, and suddenly said to the surrounding soldiers: "The people outside the city are indeed pitiful. But there are still tens of thousands of people in the city. In order to defend the city, we can only be "ruthless". Everyone, don't be merciful, and everything is to protect and punish."
"When the imperial army comes, we will definitely kill Yu Luosang and avenge the people outside the city."
At the end, Min Chun showed gritting teeth and said.
"kill!!!"
After the soldiers on the city were silent for a while, they burst out with excitement.
Everyone understands this truth.
The Huns were cruel and cruel, at least Yu Luosang, the Zuoxian King of the Huns, was such a person. He even killed the envoys, which could drive the Han people to attack the city.
Once the city is broken, everyone will be destroyed.
Even if the battle lasts until one soldier and one soldier is bleeding, the young, old, women and children in the city must be brought up as long as they can get on the city wall.
Unless all the people in the city die, the Huns are not allowed to step into the city.
Not long after, the old and weak Han people in front had arrived at the city. Although they were pitiful, although the armored soldiers on the city were sad and unable to bear it, they resolutely bent their bows and arrows and rained arrows towards the city.
However, the soldiers still couldn't bear it, so they tried their best to aim at the Huns. But even so, there was no accidental injury? For a moment, the people and the Huns under the city suffered heavy losses.
"Hey!!" Although Min Chun said "ruthless and ruthless", he felt very soft inside. He sighed and did not dare to look at the miserable situation again. He covered his face with his sleeves and went to the city gate building to rest.
The Huns attacked the cities in succession, and all the Han soldiers, the Hun cavalry and the Han people were killed and injured.
But Meiyang City is like a fortress that never falls, standing tenaciously. Not to mention being captured by the Huns, even if it is shaken.
As solid as a rock.
