Chapter 59 Captured
Gu Nanchen did not expect to get an answer to this question, mainly because of a psychological comfort to himself and everyone behind him.
Unexpectedly, the tiger in front of him nodded very humanely after hearing his words.
This made Gu Nanchen stunned, and then he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and he immediately said, "Thank you, Lord Hu!"
More than 300 Zhaoguo soldiers and 2,000 people also bowed and shouted, "Thank you, Lord Hu!"
Xiaoqing was inexplicably happy when she saw this scene.
‘Strange, did I have the same vanity as humans after I followed my master for a long time?’
But talk about the other side.
Zhang Kun and Li Guan had just led their troops back to the west of the city when they saw many defeated soldiers who escaped from the camp.
The two of them chopped a few casually and grabbed another one. After asking, they found out that Sima Gu had been killed and his head was cut down.
Finally, Zhang Kun asked again: "Can you know who is the attacker?"
The soldiers who answered said stutteringly: "Yes...Yes...Yes Yunjun, and there are two... tigers."
When they heard that it was Yun Jun coming, their expressions changed drastically.
Then Zhang Kun said, "I heard that after the Yunhou escaped into Yunling, he relied on a spirit beast to block the encirclement of Yong's army. Could it be true?"
Li Guan said anxiously: "What's the use of these now? General Sima is dead. Even if you and I return to the camp, they cannot save them. Hurry up and summon the troops in Jianshi City to retreat!"
"good!"
Zhang Kun agreed and immediately rushed into Jianshi City with Li Guan.
But I saw two afterimages in the camp, rushing towards this side like a gust of wind.
One of the red figures was a big tiger!
"Shoot the arrow!"
Li Guan hurriedly shouted, hoping to rely on archers to block the people and tigers from the distance.
However, the two of them led a soldier in the capital (thousands of people), and the archers were only one camp (hundreds of people).
At this time, the two archers were not together, and the formation was a little messy, and the arrows shot out by the order seemed sparse.
Naturally, Lian Cheng and Chi Hu rushed towards this Wei army.
Each person and a tiger are all seventh level of the merging spirit.
Lian Cheng practiced the spiritual power of the wind again. With his agile body technique, he dodged a little, then waved his spear at will, and blocked the arrows that shot him.
Although the Red Tiger on the other side failed to block all the arrows, it was a strange beast of the seventh level of the Merging Spirit and had tough fur.
The Wei army archers were all ordinary soldiers of the first and second level of body tempering. The arrow support was insufficient and could not break its defense at all.
After a rain of arrows, Lian Cheng and Chi Hu rushed into the army directly and headed straight for Zhang Kun and Li Guan, two Wei generals.
Although these two people both have the strength of the fourth level of Rongling, how can they be the opponents of Lian Cheng and Chi Hu?
In just a few breaths, they were killed one after another.
Suddenly, the two thousand Wei troops collapsed and fled.
Then, Lian Cheng led the Chihu directly into Jianshi City, killing the two thousand Wei troops in the city that were still established, and then he gave up.
When Lian Cheng came out of Jianshi City, Nie Gandang also led the four thousand Yun army to arrive, just in time to clean up the battlefield and arrest the Wei army's prisoners...
Half an hour later.
Several battlefields inside and outside Jianshi City have been cleaned.
Nie Gandang, Lian Cheng and other Yun troops also entered the city.
It turned out that on the Zhaojun school ground in the city, Gu Nanchen greeted Nie Gandang, Lian Cheng bowed his fists and said, "On behalf of the thousands of soldiers and civilians in Jianshi City, I would like to thank the two generals for their rescue!"
Nie Gandang said loudly: "General Gu is polite. Yun Zhao and the two countries are both lip service and should have resisted Wei together.
It’s a pity that Zhaohou was cowardly. When our Yun Kingdom faced the Yongning Wei coalition, he asked for help. Zhaohou actually took the threat from the Wei envoy and did not send a single soldier, and sat down to watch our Yun Kingdom be destroyed.
Never thought, without my Yun Kingdom’s restraint, how could Zhao Kingdom survive in the face of a strong Wei?"
When Gu Nanchen heard Nie Dan accusing Zhaohou in person, he was not angry. Instead, he sighed and said, "Zhaohou... not only disappointed friendly countries, but also disappointed our subjects."
Gu Nanchen heard the soldiers fleeing from Xiling Prefecture that when the defense war in Zhaoguo was at the most intense, Zhaohou received a letter from the spies from Wei people in the city.
The letter said: If Zhaohou did not surrender, the Wei army would slaughter the entire Zhao family after it broke through the city.
On the contrary, if Zhao Hou opened the city gate and surrendered, Wei Hou could protect the Zhao family's wealth.
So Zhaohou took the initiative to open the city gate and surrender.
Otherwise, even if the Zhao Kingdom only had three prefectures, it would not have been defeated so quickly under the Wei army's offensive.
Nie Gandang didn't know the specific story of Zhao's country being compromised, but after hearing Gu Nanchen said this, he knew that this person could be fought over.
So he asked: "What are General Gu's plans for the future?"
While cleaning the battlefield, Gu Nanchen thought about this issue.
He knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said loudly: "If the old general Nie does not dislike it, Gu is willing to lead the remnants of his subordinates to submit, and only hopes that the old general Nie can lead us to revenge the Wei army!"
Hearing this, Nie Gandang couldn't help but look at Lian Cheng and smiled.
They were thinking about how to convince Gu Nanchen to surrender, but they didn't expect Gu Nanchen to take the initiative to bring it up.
It saves their verbal and thoughts.
In fact, Gu Nanchen's decisive support was not only the reason why he wanted to avenge the Wei army, but also the influence of Nie Dan's reputation.
If he had changed to a general who was not very famous, Gu Nanchen would never have surrendered so quickly.
After Gu Nanchen surrendered, the next few people discussed other matters.
One is that this battle was seized.
The second is the next action plan.
The third is how to deal with the Wei army prisoners.
After hearing Nie Dandang's inquiry, Liu Ken, accompanied the army, took the book and said, "This time, a total of 5,000 stones of food and grass were seized, more than 3,000 soldiers and armor were intact, 120 horses, 500 mules and donkeys.
There are also several chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, cattle and livestock, more than 100 kilograms of salt, and five ducts of vinegar cloth."
When Lian Cheng heard that Nie dared to take responsibility, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
They did not expect that the most lacking salt in Yun Country, vinegar cloth, was seized so little.
Thinking of Zhao Bing’s explanation before leaving, Nie Gandang asked: “Can General Gu know where can you seize a large amount of salt?”
Gu Nanchen said: "Almost all salt in our Zhao Kingdom is purchased from outside. It is said that salt merchants transported it from Dajiang to the qiting in Xiling Prefecture to sell it separately."
Nie Gandang frowned when he heard this, "Xiling Qiting... is too far away. Even if we can seize a lot of salt there, we will not be lucky to go back to Yunling.
For the current plan, if we want to obtain a lot of salt, we can only learn from what the emperor did in Leiyun Mountain and exchange it for prisoners.
General Gu, if we exchange those more than 2,000 Wei prisoners for supplies, you wouldn’t have any objections, right?”
Gu Nanchen said: "Although the last general wished to learn from the Yong State Bai Qiu killed all the Wei army prisoners, he also knew that doing so would only anger the Wei State and take revenge on the people of Zhao State.
What's more, these Wei troops were captured by two generals, so they should be dealt with by the two generals."
Nie Dandang nodded slightly, and then asked again: "Can General Gu know the approximate military deployment of the Wei army in Zhaoguo?"
"I know this last general. Now Xiling Prefecture is led by Sima Tan, the left general of Wei State, led an army of 50,000.
In addition to Sima Gu's 10,000 Wei troops, Sima Chong's 10,000 Wei troops were stationed in Kaiyi to prevent Shu Kingdom.
As for what is going on in Changning Mansion, I am not sure about it.
However, Changning was the first to capture Wei State, and most of the county magistrates and guards surrendered, but Wei State probably has control over there."
After hearing this, Nie Gandang pondered for a moment and said, "Since Sima Tan and 50,000 Wei troops were in charge of Xiling Prefecture, we can't do it anymore, but we can make plans on Sima Chong."
After saying that, Nie Dandang called Lian Cheng and Gu Nanchen to the table and planned specifically at the map...
