The two of them looked at each other at the same time, both a little surprised.
"How is it possible? Now that the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, how can the people of Yan still send troops here?"
Xie Junhao frowned and said.
"It's not the soldiers of Yan State, but the army coming here with a silver dragon king flag on a black background!"
The soldiers were ordered to report.
"What? The silver Dragon King flag with a black background?"
The soldier didn't recognize this flag, how could Xie Junhao not know it? Hearing this, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly explained to Zhao Xiaole: "Sir, this black Silver Dragon King flag is the military flag of King Pingxi. I think King Pingxi has arrived!"
"King Pingxi?"
Zhao Xiaole sneered and said: "Haha, what a coincidence that he came here! I'm afraid in his imagination, Chuzhou City has been breached and I have been killed, right?"
"Then he was like a god descending to earth, turning the tide. Not only did he defeat the Yan army, he also gained a state for free. What a good plan!"
Xie Junhao was immediately startled, "What do you mean, sir, that King Pingxi wants to take Chuzhou?"
Zhao Xiaole glanced at him, nodded and said: "Of course, otherwise why do you think King Pingxi is so aggressive and doing this? Is it just to deal with me?"
"Besides, why did he and the third prince support a Sun Fu to guard Chuzhou? It's because Chuzhou is not only a battleground for military strategists, but also an important food-producing area."
"In fact, with Chuzhou's grain output, it is more than enough to feed the people of Chuzhou. But why have the people of Chuzhou still not had enough to eat after so many years, while Chuzhou's grain has disappeared?"
Xie Junhao was shocked and his eyes widened suddenly, "You mean, all this food went into King Pingxi's mansion?"
Zhao Xiaole nodded and said: "I think it's 80% true. Otherwise, if disasters have occurred in the areas under King Pingxi's jurisdiction over the past few years, they have been able to provide quick relief, and the people are still praising King Pingxi for his good deeds?"
Hearing this, Xie Junhao suddenly took a breath, his face full of disbelief.
He exclaimed: "Privately collecting military rations is already a serious crime, and providing disaster relief on behalf of the sky is even more taboo for ministers. What on earth does King Pingxi want to do?!"
"snort!"
Zhao Xiaole said nothing more, but Xie Junhao knew in his heart that Prince Pingxi might not be as loyal to the court as he showed!
Xie Junhao said with a solemn face: "According to what your lord said, King Pingxi will probably take over Chuzhou City forcibly when he comes to help. Sir, what should we do?"
Obviously, for King Pingxi, he was more loyal to the court.
If Chuzhou didn't really have any capable generals, and King Pingxi couldn't go too far, Xie Junhao might have been replaced by the fourth prince, King Pingxi.
Zhao Xiaole was silent for a while. Suddenly, he asked: "How many people do we still have to fight here?"
Xie Junhao thought for a while, then said nervously: "There are probably more than 14,000 people, and at least one of them is a new recruit!"
Zhao Xiaole's face also darkened, he turned to look at the messenger and said, "How many people from King Pingxi's army came outside the city?"
The messenger was stunned for a moment and said: "About...about...around 50,000 people!"
"hiss!"
Xie Junhao couldn't help but take a deep breath and became even more nervous.
Because the 50,000 people of King Pingxi are completely different from the 50,000 troops of Yan State.
Prince Pingxi guarded the west and was able to suppress the Yan and Jin states in the west because of the wolf-headed army in his hands.
This army is simply not comparable to Zhuge Yan's.
If all his men were Wolf-headed troops, they would have crushed Zhuge Yan's army long ago. Why would he still be worried about how to defend the city?!
"Sir, what should we do now?"
He hurriedly looked at Zhao Xiaole.
Now King Pingxi obviously came with bad intentions. In addition, the Chuzhou army has just experienced a big battle and has not recovered its strength. He did not expect me to be able to withstand King Pingxi's attack.
Zhao Xiaole also felt a headache. He didn't expect that the other party would come to pick peaches so soon.
If you give me some time to completely digest Yan's army, I won't be afraid even if King Pingxi comes to force me, but now...
He frowned, glanced at the heads placed aside, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"General Xie, I remember that although the Yan army surrendered, their weapons have not been confiscated, right?"
Xie Junhao looked at Zhao Xiaole with a blank expression, nodded and said: "Yes! But what does this have to do with the people who resisted King Pingxi?"
"It matters a lot!"
Zhao Xiaole, however, could not hide his excitement and said: "Immediately transfer those people to the moat of the North City Gate to garrison them. You don't have to get too close, just let them look at each other from afar!"
Hearing this, Xie Junhao looked even more confused.
I simply don't understand the purpose of such an arrangement.
But he always obeyed Zhao Xiaole's orders, so this time he nodded without hesitation: "Yes!"
After saying that, he turned around and immediately went to find someone to make arrangements.
Now there is no need for him to take action personally to deal with this group of Yan soldiers.
"Let's go! Let's go to the city wall and see how majestic King Pingxi is!"
Zhao Xiaole smiled and led the two of them towards the north gate.
soon.
A group of messengers rode up to the gate of the Yan army's camp.
"Send the order! Captain Zhao orders you to immediately break up camp and station yourself at the moat at the northwest corner of the North City Gate, waiting for the latest order from your lord!"
At this time, in front of the gate of the Yan army camp, all the generals were lined up and ready to surrender. When they heard the words of the messenger, they were extremely surprised.
"What? You didn't collect our weapons, but asked me to station in the north. What are you doing?"
"Yes! This is not in line with common sense? Shouldn't we collect our weapons first and then send people to subdue us?"
"General, if something goes wrong, there will be a monster. We have to be careful!"
Some generals whispered in Boyan's ear.
Boyan glared at them and shouted: "Put away your petty thoughts. Since we have surrendered, we will obey Captain Zhao's arrangements and we will no longer have any objections."
"Do you know that you will only kill your brothers if you say so but don't believe it in your heart?"
The expressions of these generals all changed instantly.
They knew that Boyan was talking about food issues.
As long as they don't have military rations for a day, even if they hold a knife in their hands, they are still useless people who can't cut anyone. Zhao Xiaole's people will kill them if they want to, but they can't resist at all!
Thinking of this, each of them suddenly looked solemn and did not dare to think any more.
The moment they killed Zhuge Yan, they were destined to be unable to turn back. Now they can only go to the dark side!
Seeing this, Boyan suddenly showed a look of satisfaction in his eyes and roared: "Let's go!"
boom!
The remaining soldiers of the Yan State were still like a long dragon, rushing out!
