Guang Yingsheng believed that with money at hand, Zhan Chengyin didn't need to offend Yan State for Xia Wei.
Unexpectedly, Zhan Chengyin gave an order: "Shoot!"
Whoosh…
the sound of arrows breaking through the air rang out in the dark night.
The thirty Yan soldiers who carried the boxes across the boundary marker were all shot by Qin Niu and fell in front of more than 100,000 Yan soldiers!
They died very quickly, almost within a few feet.
Yan Xu didn't expect that Zhan Chengyin would dare to shoot and kill Yan soldiers in front of him!
He immediately stood up from the sedan chair, his anger surging.
Zhan Chengyin didn't take him seriously at all. A first-level city defender dared to ignore him like this.
He angrily ordered, "Come here, attack the city for me..."
Guang Yingsheng hurriedly stopped him, "My lord, you can't attack the city recklessly. Have you forgotten the purpose of our coming to Zhenguan?"
Besides, the 550,000 troops of the three-party coalition couldn't take down Zhenguan at the beginning, and they only had more than 100,000 people.
How can they take it?
Yan Xu's face turned pale, and he angrily scolded: "He is a small general defending the city of Daqi, but he dares to despise me so much. I can't swallow this breath!"
As soon as Yan Xu finished speaking, the Qinnu archers behind Zhan Chengyin came forward in rows, drew their bows and arrows...
All the arrows were aimed at Yan Xu.
Yan Xu stopped talking halfway, looking at the dense arrows aimed at him.
He didn't expect that Zhan Chengyin was so arrogant.
He swallowed this breath.
But, is it just like that?
If he returns empty-handed after sending out more than 100,000 people, he will definitely become the laughing stock of the six countries at dawn tomorrow.
He can't afford to lose this person.
"Guang Yingsheng, I absolutely cannot let this go!"
Guang Yingsheng hurriedly comforted him.
"Lord, calm down. We really cannot attack the city. If we start first, the armies of the three countries will rush into the city first and kill people and set fire while we are holding Zhan Chengyin back!"
"Then Zhan Chengyin will blame us. Now most of the troops in Yan are stationed in Zhenguan. If someone launches a coup or the enemy invades, and there are no soldiers to defend, Yan will be destroyed."
Moreover, Guang Yingsheng could not guarantee that the soldiers of Yan State would definitely defeat the soldiers under Zhan Chengyin!
Yan Xu was speechless after hearing these words.
After a while, he asked, "Do you want me to endure it?"
This is a shame for him!
Naked shame!
"No, my lord, I will take this out for you."
*
Beside Zhan Chengyin, the soldiers were also whispering, wondering if Guang Yingsheng's words were true?
Was Xia Wei really so crazy to eat his own soldiers?
Did he bring people to Zhenguan because he couldn't make it in Yan State?
If so, wouldn't he have deceived the general!
Can the general endure it?
Zhan Chengyin heard everyone's discussion.
He scolded, "When Xia Wei came to Zhenguan, he was so hungry that his face was yellow and his lips were cracked. He hadn't eaten enough for a long time."
"Guang Yingsheng has a ruddy face and protruding flesh on his waist. Don't jump to conclusions too early!"
The soldiers saw that it was indeed the case.
Guang Yingsheng is very strong, and he even has a big belly.
Few of the Daqi soldiers have a big belly.
Xia Wei is dark and thin, with dry and yellow hair, and is obviously malnourished!
Who is telling the truth and who is lying is obvious at a glance!
On the opposite side, Guang Yingsheng shouted:
"Everyone, please be patient. Our Yan State has no intention of making enemies with General Zhan, but General Zhan killed our Yan soldiers for no reason, and this matter will not be let go."
Chen Kui raised the loudspeaker and output with all his strength.
"What else do you want? We will not hand over the people. If you want to fight, my Zhan family army will definitely accompany you!"
"What's the point of shooting a few of you? When you invaded the border, all the soldiers on the watchtower were killed by you. How do you count?"
Guang Yingsheng was blocked by Chen Kui's words and didn't know how to refute.
They are indeed no match for the Zhan family army.But if they are annoyed, they will attack the city frantically and will not give up.Isn't it just asking them to hand over Xia Wei in exchange for some food and water?
Why don't you cooperate?
At this time, Xia Wei, Zhao Qian, Song Duo and his party rode in a mighty manner.The soldiers saw Xia Wei for the first time and looked at him at the same time.This general who was forced to the town pass was about 25 years old, with dark skin, thin body, bright eyes and spirit!He was wearing black armor from the Yan State, and the armor was severely rusted when viewed up close.The clothes under the armor were tattered.The heels of a pair of shoes were worn flat, and the feet were exposed.
This is how the generals of a country dress.No wonder Song Duo felt sympathy for him. He looked so much like the Zhan family army a few months ago.At that time, they were also ragged, and the shoes of several generals were also tattered.
Xia Wei dismounted, came to Zhan Chengyin, knelt on one knee and bowed."General, I am Xia Wei, a former general of the Yan State."
Zhan Chengyin asked him to get up, "Please get up quickly!"
But Xia Wei refused and kowtowed deeply to Zhan Chengyin.His eyes were sad and a little desperate."General, thank you for accepting our 50,000 people. We have eaten the only full meal in half a year, and let the war horses that have followed us for many years also eat fine feed."
"Now, the king wants to arrest me, I can't implicate the general!"
"Hand me and these soldiers over, the rest of the people are all in the hands of the general!
He knew that Zhan Chengyin was kind and would take them in and give them food.That's enough!
If there is any price to pay, his life and the lives of two thousand soldiers are enough to appease the anger of the king of Yan.I hope the king will not implicate other people.
Xia Wei stood up and looked at the two thousand people who followed him, with tears in his eyes but a smile on his face.Even if they were going to die, they were not afraid.He asked the soldiers: "Brothers, are you afraid?"
Everyone said in unison: "No!"
"Now that the King of Yan wants to arrest us, we can't implicate the Zhan family army and the people of Zhenguan anymore!"
"Today, follow me to kill!"
Chen Kui and Chen Wu were stunned, watching Xia Wei lead thousands of people to kill.Isn't this just to die?
Seeing that they were serious, they hurriedly stopped them."Wait, you guys are not enough to fill the gaps in their teeth!"
Zhan Chengyin looked at Xia Wei and became more and more satisfied.Bold, loyal, not afraid of life and death, transparent and intelligent...
Just as Zhuang Liang said, if he was let go and survived, he would definitely be a difficult opponent in the future.But the king of Yan tried every means to kill him!
No wonder Yan has always been at the bottom of the six countries.
Zhan Chengyin gestured at Chen Kui.Chen Kui raised the trumpet and roared at Guang Yingsheng with full energy."You said you want it, so we have to give it to you. Who do you think you are?"
"Since Xia Wei has surrendered to Zhenguan, he is a soldier under the general. Why should I give it to you?".
"Let me put it this way. You and General Xia Wei have a duel. If he loses,he will take his men and go back with you."
"If he wins, he and 50,000 soldiers will stay in Zhenguan, and all the gold, silver and jewelry will be left behind. You are not allowed to ask for them again."
"Don't say that I didn't give you a chance. You are tall and strong with a big belly. You won't be afraid of the skinny General Xia Wei, right?"
Guang Yingsheng was provoked by Chen Kui and said angrily, "Nonsense, why would I be afraid of him?"
"That's it, let's fight, and whoever wins will be the boss!"
"Also, don't think that you can cause trouble under my nose just because you bring people with you. I'm not afraid of 500,000 men, so why would I be afraid of you little bastards!"
"Fight, and if you lose, take your men and get out!"
