When Yang Xiong heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he was so happy that he started to fight and said with a smile: "That's great. Chief Zuo really thinks highly of me. He specially gave us the credit. When the Waihuang is defeated, Zhao Tuo and I will leave."
It's only one step away from being promoted to the fifth doctor."
Zhao Tuo had a straight face.
Zhao Ben on the side reminded: "Brother Yang, this Waihuang is not as easy to get as Xiao Huang. I heard that Zhang Er, the commander of Waihuang, is the number one knight in Waihuang, and all the knights from the surrounding counties are admiring his name.
, there are probably hundreds of people in Zhang Er Hall alone. This city is difficult to attack!"
"Can't you persuade me to surrender?"
Yang Xiong frowned, remembering the seriousness of the matter.
Waihuang and Xiaohuang are both cities of the same level, with a city height of three feet and a large population. If they cannot be persuaded to surrender, it would be difficult for a thousand Qin troops to attack by force.
He called Li Shiqi over and asked: "You are a drunkard, maybe you can persuade Waihuang to surrender and make Zhang Er, like Xiao Huang, surrender without a fight."
Li Shiqi blinked. He had just entered the battlefield on Zhao Tuo's recommendation and made a great contribution to persuade Xiaohuang City to surrender.
Therefore, due to Yang Xiong's meritorious service, he was directly promoted by two levels and obtained the highest title of Qin State.
This made Li Shiqi very proud. He felt that he really had the talents of Su Qin and Zhang Yi. If he was given a chance, he would be able to soar into the sky. If this situation develops, it is not impossible for Li Shiqi to become a minister and become the prime minister in the future.
He was arrogant and wanted to get another achievement, but before he could say anything, he remembered Zhang Er's reputation as a prostitute.
In the end, the clever Li Shiqi shook his head and said: "Zhang Er, the foreign minister, is a famous scholar in Wei. He used to be a guest of Lord Xinling. He was a man of justice and wealth, and was famous for his trustworthiness. He was called by the people of Wei as the successor to Lord Xinling.
The reputation of the first chivalrous man is not only spread in Wei, but even people in Chu and Qi have heard of his name."
"Such a person will never be as greedy for life and death as Xiao Huang Ling. Even for the sake of reputation, he will try his best to resist. Even if I have a sharp tongue, I'm afraid I won't be able to convince him."
Seeing Li Shiqi say the same thing as Zhao Ben, Yang Xiong's face turned bitter and he looked at Zhao Tuo.
Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes slightly.
The reason why they were able to successfully persuade Xiao Huang to surrender was actually due to advance calculation.
Because among the cities near Chenliu, Xiaohuang and Waihuang are the strongest.
The small yellow one is close, the outer yellow one is far away.
Therefore, Yang Xiong asked for orders to attack the city. Judging from Huan Zhao's previous performance, he would never let him attack those weaker towns and give away the credit. The possibility of letting Yang Xiong attack Xiao Huang was the greatest.
Just because Li Shiqi was sure of persuading Xiao Huang to surrender, he could win the city without fighting, and everyone would get credit.
Now Huan Zhao asked Yang Xiong to capture Waihuang, which would be very troublesome.
"Zhang Er is also a famous person in the late Qin Dynasty."
"I heard that when Liu Bang was young, he hung out with Zhang Er for a while."
Zhao Tuo thought to himself, trying hard to recall the information hidden deep in his mind.
…
Outer Yellow City.
Zhang Er sat on the couch and looked at his confidants in the room.
"Huang Gong and his wife, Shaojun, have left the outer Huangdi boundary. They should be able to enter Ohnoze before the Qin army arrives."
Zhang Er nodded, Onezawa has a wide water area and complex terrain, which is most suitable for Tibetans.
Moreover, this side of Da Zedong can lead to Qi and south to Chu. If something bad happens, it will be very convenient whether you flee to Qi or Chu.
Now the Qin army is pressing down on the border, and its soldiers are surrounding Daliang, with the intention of swallowing up Wei.
With Zhang Er's eyesight, he could naturally see that the Wei Kingdom would be destroyed. There was no suspense about this matter.
But everyone can escape, but Zhang Er cannot easily abandon the city and escape.
Wei Bao can abandon Chen Liu without a fight. Because Wei Bao belongs to the royal family of Wei, he can win the hearts of Wei people just based on the blood in his body.
To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
Xiao Huangling can surrender the whole city because he doesn't need faith, he just wants to survive.
But Zhang Er is different.
He is a hero.
When a hero is born in the world, what he wants is a name, a faith and a righteousness.
For those who believe, every promise will come true. Even if it is difficult to save others, you will not avoid life or death. You must do what you promise others.
A righteous person must repay kindness and give to others. If he has received kindness from others, he must repay it even if he risks his life.
The reason why Zhang Er became a famous scholar in the Wei State and a heroic foreigner was that his reputation spread to all the countries in the world.
In addition to financial support from his wife's family, reputation and trustworthiness are the most important.
If he Zhang Er dares to abandon the city and run away, he will lose his trust, his righteousness, and his reputation.
If the reputation of the hero who has been in business for many years is destroyed, Zhang Er will become a piece of stinking shit on the roadside. No one will pay attention to him at all, and he will even be despised by people from the six countries.
Such an end would be more terrifying for a heroic warrior than dying by the Qin army's sword.
Therefore, Zhang Er must resist.
Even if he only blocked a wave of Qin army's attack on the city, everyone in the world would know that he was a loyal person who would sacrifice Wei's wealth and repay Wei's kindness. He was by no means a courageous person.
"How many guests are there?"
"There are still 312 people. Early this morning, two Qi people wanted to leave the city, but I killed them in the name of treachery. I think the others will be frightened and will not dare to escape privately again."
"Um."
After Zhang Er thought for a while, he said: "You go and let the servants kill pigs and sheep, prepare dishes, and then invite all the knights to come to my house. I am going to have a big feast for the guests today."
"only."
After seeing his cronies leaving, Zhang Er closed his eyes and thought carefully.
The Qin army marched eastward and occupied the fortress of Chenliu. It is said that even Xiaohuang City was captured in one day.
It was only a matter of time before the Qin army marched towards Waihuang.
His city defense population is about the same as that of Xiao Huang. There are about 300 county soldiers who are capable of fighting. The young men in the city can recruit about a thousand people, but these young men have basically never been on the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness is still high.
There is a question mark, there is no way he can be the opponent of the Qin army.
Zhang Er must have all three hundred of his knights follow him to defend the city.
Otherwise, he would not have the confidence to resist the Qin army.
At dusk, the sunset sets in the west.
The lights in the magistrate's mansion are bright, the sound of silk and bamboo is pleasing to the ears, and the graceful dance is pleasing to the eyes.
Zhang Er set the wine aside and sang loudly until all the guests were drinking and drinking, and their ears were warm with wine.
He stood up, holding the wine.
The singing and dancing stopped.
Zhang Er looked at the people in the hall and sighed: "You are all heroes in the world. I wish I couldn't travel with you. I do this every day, drinking and singing, expressing my pride. It's a pity that the Qin people are coming..."
"Er is the order of Waihuang and eats Wei Lu. He should repay Wei's kindness. He will definitely defend the city of Waihuang to protect the people and fight fiercely with the Qin people. I wonder if you are willing to fight with Er to fight the Qin people?"
As soon as these words came out, all the guests who had been drinking and having fun just now were stunned and looked at each other in confusion.
But immediately someone stood up and shouted: "Zhang Jun's name as a heroic hero is known to everyone in the six countries. We came here because we heard about Zhang Jun's righteousness. We heroes should value justice over life, not avoid life and death, just for the sake of justice."
Faith and loyalty exist. I am willing to guard Waihuang with Zhang Jun and fight the Qin army to the end!"
"That's right, Mr. Zhang treated us with fine wine, delicious food, and the courtesy of a knight. I once heard that a scholar died for his confidant, and today is the time for us to repay our kindness!"
Someone stood up and shouted in agreement.
"In my opinion, everyone here has received Zhang Jun's kindness, and now it is time for everyone to repay each other with trust and loyalty. If anyone abandons the city and leaves, that is betrayal of trust and living in an ignoble way!"
"This kind of person is the most disgusting to me. If I see him, I will kill each one. Gentlemen, are there any treacherous people among you?"
Someone drew his sword on the spot and looked at everyone in the hall with an awe-inspiring voice.
The ranger guests from Zhao, Chu, and Qi were all stunned.
Because these knights who kept shouting and shouting that they would die in retaliation were all locals from Waihuang!
Their wives, children, children, and property are all in this outer yellow city.
Isn't it normal for you to defend the city to the death?
Why drag on Nai Gong!
However, some of the foreign guests also valued integrity. Under the stimulation of this scene, they blushed and shouted: "You are right, we should defend the city to the death. We must not abandon the city and lose our integrity."
Two words."
Some people took the lead in echoing, while others held swords and glanced fiercely.
In this case, those rangers who just wanted to make a living could only join in with the crowd.
One of them, a ranger in his thirties, had a tall nose, a long neck, and a beard, and his face turned the color of bitter melon.
"Nai Gong has just come from Peixian County, and he has only feasted and dined on you for less than a month. He is going to fight tooth and nail for you..."
