Chapter 533: The Last Choice

Hong Tu, the prefect of Yulin, has been very nervous these past two days. He received news that the Wuhu barbarians in the territory suddenly became restless and ran north in groups. At first, Hong Tu thought that the tribes had taken a fancy to which of the tribes was passing through the border.

If you want to take advantage of the slack time of farming to make a little fortune, you will not be able to make a fortune.

He takes it too seriously. This kind of petty troubles are very common. He usually doesn't care about it and can't control it. Only the devil can find those barbarians if they hide in the mountains. In the summer, who wants to chase the barbarians into the ravine?

, I had scabies all over my head due to the sun, and I couldn’t even earn money for a pair of shoes.

But things quickly got out of control. Some tribes actually gathered hundreds of people, all armed with weapons, and marched north along the official road in a grand manner. At this time, Hongtu realized that something was wrong. He got the news that something happened in Wuling last year.

one game

In the great war, Jiaozhou Mu, Zhennan general Lu Dai died in the battle. Now Lu Kai is stationed at Yanguan, preparing to fight. Yanguan is the boundary of Lingling and is not under his control, but Yuecheng is under his jurisdiction, and he also sent Qian Fei to lead him

More than a thousand county soldiers were sent to obey Lu Kai's orders.

Isn't it because something happened there?

Hong Tu did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent people to find out why the barbarians were running north. The news soon came back, and the barbarians were very happy and had no intention of hiding it. They told the people sent by Hong Tu that the god was coming.

, we are going to join the God General.

Hong Tu was confused, what kind of divine general?

His subordinates reminded him, have you forgotten the one who fought in Wuling last year?

Only then did Hong Tu remember who the divine general was, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. The divine general single-handedly defeated three of Wu's most important generals, and even the most adept general of the auxiliary state was defeated by him.

The whole Jingzhou was

He turned the world upside down, and the ruthless Lu Dai was killed by him in front of the battle. He has become a legend. Wasn't he in Wuling? Why did he suddenly come to Yulin? Could it be that he had broken through all the indestructible barriers?

Hongtu couldn't understand it and was restless.

The subsequent news made Hong Tu even more nervous. Wei Ba not only arrived at Yulin, but also captured Yuecheng. Qian Fei he sent surrendered, and all the baggage became the trophies of the god general. The battle was imminent, where was Yulin?

If more baggage can be found, the supply will be swarmed.

The incoming army couldn't even make up for the strict soldiers. Thinking of the seriousness of the consequences, Hong Tu shuddered. After thinking about it, he made an important decision. In a dark night, he took a few soldiers with him.

The cronies and Yinshou quietly slipped out of the city.

To the State of Wu, Yulin County was a remote place and had never been a wealthy place. Being a prefect here was not a promotion, but a demotion and a kind of torture. At that time, Lu Ji was killed because he offended Sun Quan.

Lu Ji, who was demoted to Yulin as a prefect, also died in depression because of this reason.

.In fact, not only Yu Lin, but also the entire Jiaozhou was the first choice for the state of Wu to be demoted. Yu Fan, who annoyed Sun Quan the most, was defeated in Nanhai County, the most prosperous county in Jiaozhou. Since he was demoted, of course he was not in the mood to serve the country. Hong

Trying to sneak away instead of surrendering is already a rare loyal person.

Wei Ba knew nothing about what was happening in Yulin, and all his thoughts were on how to overcome Yanguan. Shikuang did not lie to him. In just four or five days, more than 30,000 barbarians came. Looking at more and more barbarians,

Manzi and Wei Ba were a little worried. Of course it is a good thing to have more people, but they also have to meet their food needs. People come to help, but the general is not responsible for their food. This really doesn't make sense.

When Wei Ba was worried, Lu Kai on the city wall was also frightened. The reputation of the divine general far exceeded his expectations. In just three to five days, the valley was filled with tents. More and more barbarians appeared.

In front of the pass, at a glance, there are three or four

Tens of thousands of people spread all over the mountains and plains, and just one look at it is enough to make people tremble with fear. He used to have an advantage in military strength, but now facing barbarians who are several times his size, the advantage in military strength is gone, and his low self-confidence is once again

suffered a major blow.

He began to doubt whether he could hold the pass. There was no food, not enough troops, and he was facing an opponent with cunning and changeable tactics. None of them was in his favor. He began to doubt Lu Xun's intentions. He would not

Do you want to use Wei Ba's help to get rid of my Jianghuai clique and make the Jiangdong clique dominate?

When Lu Kai's confidence was shaken, Huaigen's situation became even worse. After several days of scolding, the Xiongxi tribe's dissatisfaction with Huaigen reached its peak. They gathered together in private and whispered, Huaigen

Although I couldn't hear what they were talking about, I could guess what they were talking about.

What they said was definitely not good, and they might be discussing a rebellion plan. He couldn't sleep every night, with a sharp machete hidden under his pillow, and dozens of trusted warriors guarding him day and night. He still couldn't sleep peacefully, fearing that he would be killed in his sleep.

The man cut off his head and presented it to his husband.

With the arrival of barbarian reinforcements, Wei Ba had more manpower. He still did not launch an attack. He knew well that Yan Pass was strong. If he rushed to attack without preparation, he would only pay a heavy price. This was not only a failure to his ability to fight.

The invincible myth will be a heavy loss, and the loss of troops will be unbearable for him. He leads elite soldiers who are carefully selected and trained. Once the losses are too large, it will be difficult to replace them in the short term.

The barbarians he would invest in were divided into several camps according to their tribes, and they conducted simple siege training, and selected some of them to help make siege equipment. After a few days, the barbarians' siege technology was already on a rough scale, at least it looked like that

It's not the same thing anymore

They rushed up in the same chaos as before. What surprised the Wu army on the city even more was the huge siege equipment. Wei Ba built a huge wooden city with bamboo and wood in front of Yanguan, which looked even bigger than Yanguan.

It should be tall and majestic, and the city wall should be six or seven feet high.

The tightly guarded garrison soldiers looked up at the flying battle flags on the bamboo city. The confident soldiers, with their weapons and armor flashing coldly in the sun, felt a huge deterrent. The battle had not yet begun, and there was already a clear gap in the morale of both sides.

The numerous barbarians walked back and forth on the city wall, talking loudly, showing off their strength and courage, and shouting curses. It seemed that as long as the god general gave an order, they could attack the pass and kill all the Wu troops.

Under the knife.

On the day when the Bamboo City was completed, Wei Ba, accompanied by Wang Shuang, Heisha and other soldiers, walked to the Bamboo City. Smelling the fragrance of bamboo, Wei Ba was in a happy mood, chatting and laughing. After inspecting the Bamboo City, he paid condolences to those who had worked hard.

The soldiers of the transport battalion and the barbarian migrant workers. When he came to the North City, facing Lu Kai, Huaogen and countless defenders who were more than a hundred steps away on the tightly closed city - now at his feet - he put away his smile and shouted loudly

said:

"You have all seen that as long as I give an order, 40,000 to 50,000 warriors can rush to the top of the city and behead your heads. The pass is no longer an insurmountable pass. It cannot protect your life.

It is not too late to surrender now. If we continue to resist stubbornly, everything will be destroyed by then and it will be too late to regret."

Lu Kai's face turned pale, but he refused to show weakness. He tried his best to control his emotions. He also said loudly to Wei Ba: "The fight will come, why bother talking nonsense. I am waiting to fight you to the death to avenge the murder of my father.

"

Wei Ba laughed loudly and looked down at Lu Kai with disdain: "It's just you? I'm standing here. If you want to avenge your father, you can just come over. If you don't have the courage, why would you say such a thing? It's just causing trouble in life.

Laugh. If you are really a man, go out to the city and fight, and we will fight one by one. Do you dare?"

Lu Kai was speechless.

Wei Ba sneered. Then he said: "God has a good life. I will give you one more night to think about it. If you still refuse to leave the city and surrender at sunrise tomorrow, don't blame me for being rude. I will send you to accompany you on the road to Huangquan.

Your father."

Wei Ba glanced around majestically, his eyes sweeping across Yanguan City. Every Wu Jun and Xiongxi tribe warrior in the city felt that he was looking at them. Although Wei Ba was not a fierce looker or a ferocious face, the intimidation in his words was

But it makes people feel chilly.

"Everyone has only one life. There is no need for you to die for Lu Kai, and there is no need to die for Sun Quan. You can make your own choices. If you choose to become my enemy, it will be your last choice in this life, a wrong one.

Choice. You will pay a heavy price for this choice. Your family and glory will no longer have anything to do with you. You will accompany this coward to death, become a lonely ghost, and bear eternal shame. The world will not accept you, and you will have no refuge."

After Wei Ba finished speaking, he turned and left. There was no sound in Yanguan City, and there was a dead silence.

Huaigen didn't know how he got back to his residence. He sat on the couch, feeling restless. The guards were wearing armor and holding knives, guarding him and staying at his side. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating. 10

In the remaining days, Wei Ba has made full preparations and will begin to attack the city tomorrow. What to do, they must make a choice. This choice may determine their life or death.

Huaigen was at a loss, and his palms were sweating. The food on the table had gone cold, and a large piece of oil was floating on the bowl, which looked very unappetizing. Huaigen had no taste at all, and he didn't know that he wouldn't have it after tomorrow.

Have another chance to eat.

"Jingfu?" a guard shouted in a low voice.

"Take it away, I can't eat it." Huaigen shouted angrily.

"Jingfu, are you worried about tomorrow's war?"

Huaogen turned his face, narrowed his eyes, and stared at the guard who had been with him for more than ten years. He felt that this guard was a little abnormal today, especially the smile on his face, which did not look like someone who was about to die in battle.

"You have something to say?"

"Yes, Jingfu, there is no need for us to die for the Wu people." The guard faced Huaigen's ferocious eyes calmly, knelt down, took off the sword from his waist and put it aside. He lay on the ground with his head on the ground.

, his neck was exposed in front of Huaigen. As long as Huaigen pulled out the knife and waved it lightly, he could chop off his head.

However, Huaigen became even more nervous, and his hand with exposed veins involuntarily grasped the handle of the machete.

"What did you say?"

"I said, there is no need for us to die for the Wu people. The descendants of Patriarch Panhu should not commit suicide for the sake of the Wu people." The guard kowtowed again, raised his face, and looked at Huaigen quietly. "Tomorrow.

War begins, Wu people

They will definitely let us rush to the front to consume the divine general's troops. Basically, the subordinates of the divine general are warriors from the Wuxi tribe. They are the descendants of Panhu ancestors like us. If we fight them, we will kill each other.

."

Huaigen stood up and slowly pulled out the machete. His voice was as cold as the snow on the top of the mountain that has not melted for thousands of years. "You dare to speak for Wei Ba, are you not afraid of death?"

"If I die, God will ensure that my parents live in peace in their old age, and that my son will go to school and then become an official in the Han government. My death is worth it." The guard said word by word: "But,

If I don't tell you, five thousand people will die here. Jingfu, do you really have the heart to do this?"
