In just two days, the name of Chu Rou's "Sha Shen" spread throughout the Rushui camp. Five thousand recruits were eliminated while training. Under swords and money.

While Chu Rou was leading the recruits for pre-war assault training, Chu Ning was leading the Guards Army and the Zhaoyi Army over mountains and mountains, a short distance of more than 130 kilometers, or more than 260 miles. After walking for six days, we arrived one day later than expected.

On the evening of the sixth day, Chu Ning and Mrs. Yan had arrived at the predetermined hiding place with their troops - this place was located in the northwest of Pinggang City, only about [-] miles away from Pinggang City in a straight line, with thousands of miles around. There are many mountains of different sizes, but the highest peak can vaguely see Pinggang City...

Although it is very close to Pinggang City, it is a place that is easily overlooked by the Xianbei people, because the [-] mountains in the Yanshan Mountains not only block their horseshoes, but even become their reliance— — Subconsciously, people will think that the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, supplies are difficult, and there is no way that can be crossed by human beings...

But no one expected that there would be such a person as Chuning in this world, who would go up the grassland from the northwest of Liaoning, go around behind Yanshan Mountain, and then cross across.

"Sir, Li Rui led his troops to set up camp by Rushui two hundred miles away, but there was not only her general flag in the camp, but also a general flag with the word 'Chu' in it. The suspected Xuanjia army was hiding here. The general led [-] soldiers and horses and has withdrawn."

"Sir, the Fengming War Department has withdrawn from the territory of the Yuwen Department to Liucheng, but there are two general flags with the characters 'Yan' and 'Chu' hanging on Liucheng. Look at the horseshoe prints of his withdrawal, the size of the Liucheng camp and the amount of smoke. There are tens of thousands of troops stationed here, and the Xuanjia Army is here."

"Sir, Xiao Hongfei led the Zhongwu Army to station in White Wolf City, two hundred miles away to the south. On the city, both Xiao Chu's generals and flags are there, and the Xuanjia Army..."

……

The military news came back from the three parties, and the Xuanjia Army, which had disappeared for more than a month, finally got news. The leaders of various ministries gathered together to discuss countermeasures, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be like this.

However, all the Xianbei leaders present, big and small, didn't realize it yet—since when did these thousands of Xuanjia troops become their big worry?

"My son from the prairie, I have never been afraid of anything!" Mr. Wu You was the first person to think of this question, and suddenly woke up all the leaders present: "No matter how good this Xuanjia army is at fighting, it is only a mere thousand soldiers and horses. , could it become a serious worry for me and others?"

"Sir, you are right!" Murong Chang has always cooperated with Mr. Wu You, and today is no exception: "There are only a thousand people around, how can it damage my overall situation?"

But Yu Wencheng didn't take it seriously, and even thought to himself, what you Murong Chang said is beautiful, why don't you see your Murong Department confronting this Xuanjia army head-on?

Confronting the Xuanjia army head-on, Yu Wencheng was a little scared. He could not care about the slaves and women in the back territory, or he could give up the cattle and sheep. Anyway, he had already robbed enough money this time-but he didn't He is willing to send his soldiers to die in vain. For him, every man in the clan is his fist and sword. Only with enough fists and sharp swords can he have more voice in the grassland , to grab more women and slaves for him.

But against the Xuanjia Army, the terrible casualty rate made Yu Wencheng feel lingering fear even thinking about it. With the lessons learned by Murong Bu and Duan Bu, Yu Wencheng didn't want to gnaw at the hard bone of the Xuanjia Army.Therefore, long before his generals set off with five thousand soldiers, he had privately confessed that as soon as they found the Xuanjia Army, they would retreat immediately.

But Mr. Wu You did not continue what Murong Chang said, but looked at the map drawn on the cowhide, his eyes moved slowly with the voice: "Runshui, White Wolf City, and Liu City, these three places are located in Ping In the east, south, and west directions of Gangcheng, each place is about two hundred miles away from Pinggang City. This distance can be reached by cavalry in one day, and infantry in two days... It seems that this is determined Determined to drive us away!"

When Yu Wencheng heard the words, he quickly asked: "Then what should we do? Should we divide our troops into three places and defeat them one by one?"

"Break one by one? I'm afraid it won't work." Murong Chang shook his head: "Up to now, not only do we not know where the Xuanjia Army is hiding, we also don't know which of these three places is stronger and weaker, and how much troops should be divided. If the division is too small Unfortunately, I met the Xuanjia Army, and I am afraid that there will be no return. If there are too many troops, Gu Wenxiong in Pinggang City will detect the change and rush out of the city...wouldn’t it be a waste of success?”

When the army was raised, the Duan tribe was the most powerful, dispatching 13 fine cavalry; the Murong tribe gathered together many small tribes on the grassland, and assembled 30 soldiers and horses; while Yuwen Ruo was relatively weak, and only sent [-] soldiers and horses; a total of [-] There are more than [-] soldiers and horses, and it is rumored that [-] soldiers were raised.

At first, when Murong Hu fought against Xiao Hongfei, more than ten thousand soldiers were killed in battle; later, when Duan Fuzhen fought against the Weimin Army on the bank of Raoshui River, more than three thousand soldiers were killed in battle, and the remaining more than 6000 troops fell to Murong. Later, when Duan Wuchen was chasing and killing the guards, he lost more than [-] soldiers and horses; moreover, recently Xiao Hongfei and Li Rui searched and killed them, and roughly obtained more than [-] heads.

Therefore, the actual number of Xianbei soldiers and horses killed in battle should be more than 4000, not counting the wounded, and the death rate in battle alone is as high as nearly [-]%.

Today, Duan Bu still has more than 3 soldiers and horses; although Murong Bu died [-] in battle, Murong Hu snatched another [-] from Duan Bu. Excluding those who were searched and killed, there should be more than [-] soldiers and horses ; while the Yuwen Department sent few troops and suffered few losses, there were probably more than [-] soldiers and horses.

Of the more than 8 soldiers and horses, [-] of them were in the hands of Murong Hu, who were still stationed on the banks of the Raoshui River to collect people, and only [-] soldiers stayed in Pinggang City.

And these 8 or [-] horses, how should they divide the troops to win in several battlefields?What's more, that Xuanjia army is really annoying. Although it only has more than a thousand people, its actual combat strength is enough to hold back more than ten thousand troops - Murong Chang has no doubts, as long as the troops under Pinggang City are less than sixty thousand , Gu Wenxiong would open the city gate without hesitation and fight desperately.

Gu Wenxiong had more than [-] elite soldiers in the city. Although [-] were let go by the Murong Ministry before, some of them died in battle one after another. Up to now, some of them may have died of starvation, but Murong Chang's heart is still It is very clear that there are at least [-] Qing soldiers in Pinggang City—with the same strength, how could Gu Wenxiong be willing to wait for death?

"This time, the Qing army has set up a great battle situation!" Mr. Wu You was silent for a long time before he sighed: "I have to admit that if we don't mobilize the soldiers and horses in Murong Hu's hands, we have no chance of winning!"

Of course, it wouldn't be too bad a defeat. At most, they would retreat happily with the population dragging their luggage. With the current strength of the Qing army, they might not dare to pursue them.

"But who should Murong protect the [-] soldiers and horses against to gain a chance of winning and break the current stalemate?" Murong Chang pointed to the three Qing army camps, thinking: "I heard that Fengming cavalry are wearing horse armor, although only Three thousand people are like heavenly soldiers and generals, they can go back and forth among thousands of armies. Of course, this may be just an exaggerated rumor, but based on the calculations of the Xuanjia Army's combat power, these three thousand cavalry must hold me Xianbei Wanqi... "

"I understand what Master Murong means." Duan Wuchen said suddenly: "Is it because I am afraid that the Xuanjia Army will hide in the camp of Fengming Iron Cavalry? How about letting Murong Hu go to White Wolf City to fight Xiao Hongfei."

However, Yu Wencheng shook his head and said: "Murong Hu is Xiao Hongfei's defeated opponent, if he goes against Xiao Hongfei now, he will be weak before the battle..."

The implication is that this is not optimistic about Murong Hu.

As for the idea of ​​letting Murong Hu fight Li Rui, everyone present wisely didn't mention it, because the two are not only separated by thousands of miles, but also separated by hundreds of thousands of mountains. If they really want to go, they can only go west from the Raoshui River. , across the territories of Duanbu and Yuwenbu, borrowed from the territory of Batuo Xianbei, passed through Shanggu County, passed through Yuyang County, and then came to the Rushui River.

"Since the enemy's situation outside is unknown, let's try it from inside the city. If it doesn't work, I will withdraw later." Wu You first asked Huan to the leaders of all the ministries: "What do you think?"

"This is also a way." Murong Chang said: "Pinggang City has been besieged for a long time, and Gu Wenxiong has become a trapped beast. Although the news inside him can get out, the news outside must not get in. Let me wait Send envoys to persuade him to surrender, as long as he is willing to surrender his armor, we will withdraw our troops."

Duan Wuchen and Yu Wencheng did not object to Murong Chang's words, Mr. Wu You also nodded, and then asked: "Who will you send as the envoy?"

"Actually, it's better to send that general surnamed Gao than to send anyone." Duan Wuchen analyzed: "For one thing, he has already surrendered to Xianbei, and with the means of the Daqing court, his entire family will be wiped out sooner or later. With this blood feud , I will never betray my Xianbei again; secondly, Gu Wenxiong is familiar with him, and when he sees him, he knows that the Qing army's situation is over, and in desperation, they may surrender in Kaesong."

Murong Chang said: "Since that's the case, let's go and bring that general down."

Not long after, Gao Zhimin was brought over, and after entering the tent, he knelt down and bowed around, then he heard Mr. Wuyou ask: "General Gao, with no hope of reinforcements, do you think... Gu Wenxiong will open the city and surrender?"

Gao Zhimin was stunned, quickly passed Gu Wenxiong's character and life in his mind, and then leaned down and said: "The guilty minister thinks that the key point is not whether Gu Wenxiong will surrender, but what position should he be in after he is surrendered?"

If Gu Wenxiong handed over his weapons and Kaesong surrendered, would Xianbei kill these surrendered soldiers to avoid future troubles?If Xianbei didn't kill them, what would Gu Wenxiong and the [-] Qing soldiers do with them?Take them as slaves or let the tiger go back to the mountain?

Following Gao Zhimin's words, everyone fell into silence. Mr. Wu You glanced at the three leaders one by one, and finally said: "If Gu Wenxiong is willing to surrender, he can be the leader of the fourth department of our Eastern Xianbei. His soldiers, we both Will not kill, will not rob."

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly." Gao Zhimin said boldly: "Gu Wenxiong, one of the four famous generals of the Qing Dynasty, has been in high school for many years...just a tribal leader, I am afraid that he is not worthy enough to surrender."

"Bold!" Yu Wencheng slapped the table suddenly, and shouted angrily: "You dog slave! Are you looking down on me, Xianbei?"

"Lord Yuwen, be at ease, and let him finish his sentence." Mr. Wu You comforted him: "General Gao, please continue."

"The guilty minister doesn't look down on Xianbei." Gao Zhimin couldn't see Mr. Wu You's face, but he felt that he seemed to be similar to him in appearance, and seeing him protecting himself, he hurriedly said: "It's just that the Xianbei tribes are scattered, and each tribe is not under each other. As high and powerful as the Daqing court, order a door..."

"Hey, according to your dog slave, don't I, Xianbei, have to set up an emperor like the Qing Dynasty?" Yu Wencheng said with a sarcasm, "Just to give him the position of general for Gu Wenxiong?"

Murong Chang and Duan Wuchen did not speak, especially Duan Wuchen, who seemed to have thought of something, his face suddenly changed drastically, but he quickly lowered his head and pretended to be drinking, so that no one could see.

"Lord Yuwen, be careful." Mr. Wu You stepped forward to help Gao Zhimin himself, and asked: "No matter how Xianbei arranges Gu Wenxiong in the end, General Gao asks himself whether he can persuade Gu Wenxiong to surrender? After all, he is in Pinggang City I have been trapped here for a long time, and food and grass are scarce..."

This meant that Gao Zhimin had to find a way to persuade Gu Wenxiong by himself.

Gao Zhimin felt bitter, but he didn't dare to refuse - it was one thing to persuade Gu Wenxiong not to surrender, but it was another thing to refuse to persuade Gu Wenxiong to surrender now.

"Criminal...willing to take the crime and make meritorious deeds!"

With tears in his eyes, Gao Zhimin answered the matter, his heart was bleeding, he went back to his camp, thought about it, and finally recruited his three slaves, picked two out of them, and hurriedly changed them. The two women return.

There are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is having no descendants.Ever since Gao Zhimin fell into Xianbei's hands, he never thought that his family members in Donglai City could survive. Now that he himself is dead, he wants to leave a descendant to continue his bloodline when he is at the end of his life.

The only one left, Qing Nu, sat in front of the tent stupidly, watching Gao Zhimin pull the two young women into the tent stupidly, looked up at the sky stupidly, and smiled so stupidly that it was too horrible to look at.

This Qing Nu is a fool, so stupid that he can't even tell the difference between urine and water. Gao Zhimin didn't have the guts to go to Xianbei to change it, so he had to keep him by his side, feed him who stutters every day, and help him do some physical work.It's a pity that this Qing Nu has become famous for being an idiot in the past few days, and no one wants to exchange it for a woman. Otherwise, Gao Zhimin would like to exchange it for another one.

The idiot Qingnu heard the cries in the tent, and suddenly laughed even more stupidly. He smiled, but a few tears welled up in his eyes, and then he pulled a handful of dry grass from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth, mouthing it loudly. He began to chew, until his mouth was bright red at the end, but he didn't seem to notice it.

The two clan members that Murong Chang arranged to stay outside the tent looked at the fool with disgust at first, but then they looked at each other, one of them stayed and the other went to Murong Chang's tent.

"My lord, Gao Zhimin has led two women to pay back the bill, and he is doing business right now."

"En." Murong Chang thought for a while, and said: "Tomorrow, you will follow him into the city."

"But enter Pinggang City?" Clan Ding was so frightened that he knelt down and cried: "Master, this Pinggang City is full of starving ghosts, and the little ones would rather die in front of the adults than die." There are no dead bodies! I beg your lord to be sympathetic!"

Murong Chang raised his eyes and said, "My lord doesn't want you to go to die, but Gao Zhimin put down his words with Mr. Wuyou today, saying that he must be accompanied by someone before he enters the city."

"My lord! Gao Zhimin still has a stupid slave!" The clan member seemed to be grabbing a life-saving grass: "That idiot, he is so stupid that he drinks urine as water...he thinks he is a sheep, and he often eats hay, and eats it well. Bleeding from the mouth...surely it won't spoil your business..."

……

After all, he is his own personal guard, so he can't be allowed to send death cold to other people's hearts. Murong Chang thought about it for a while, and then agreed to the clan's request. accompanied by people.

Early the next morning, Xianbei people sent Gao Zhimin a roasted suckling lamb. Although the taste was not good, Gao Zhimin ate it all slowly—he knew that if Gu Wenxiong could not be persuaded to surrender, this might be the time of his life. Last meal.

bath.

change clothes.

wearing a crown.

After taking care of himself, Gao Zhimin walked out of the tent slowly, but found that Xianbei did not send someone to send him into the city as promised in advance.

"What else do I expect?" Gao Zhimin smiled self-deprecatingly, attracting the fool who squatted behind the camp and plucked weeds to eat: "Come on, follow me to do something, if it's done, let's come back and enjoy the glory and wealth, and do it." If not, we will be left there and become food for others..."
