my wife is mulan

Hua Mulan didn't like Zhu Xiuzhi very much, she snorted coldly and turned her head away from him, Zhu Xiuzhi's face was a little embarrassed.

Zhao Junsheng had to give face, and he couldn't be too petty. After all, he had good intentions, and he clasped his fists in return and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhu, so the younger brother and General Hua will be disrespectful!"

"Don't bother, please!"

At this time, the sky was getting dark. After the army entered the camp, a large number of bonfires were lit in the camp. The bonfires were covered with wormwood, and the smell of wormwood spread out and smoked away the mosquitoes.

The prisoners were locked up, but Zhang Xing, a veteran of the Yan Army, was ordered by Zhao Junsheng to be taken to the bonfire in the open space.

The two sides were filled with long low tables where generals and school officials sat. Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan and Zhu Xiuzhi sat at the top, and there were wine and meat on the tables.

"General, the enemy will bring Zhang Xing!" A tooth master led several soldiers and escorted Zhang Xing to report.

Zhao Junsheng looked at it and waved his hand: "Come here, untie Old General Zhang, please take a seat!"

A soldier untied the rope, and Zhang Xing moved his wrists and his neighbors. Although he was old and had a long snow-white beard, his body was very strong, his spirit was hale and hearty, and his waist was straight, like a green pine that seemed never to bend. .

"A defeated general should not be treated so courteously by the envoy. If the envoy still has something to say, just speak up!"

Chapter 526 Persuade to surrender

Seeing that Zhang Xing was not seated, Zhao Junsheng made it clear, so he had no choice but to say: "It seems that General Zhang is a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush. Now that the old general has been defeated, there must be no one left in White Wolf City." How many defenders are there? If our army wants to attack, it should not be difficult to break through the city! What do you think, old general?"

Zhang Xing snorted angrily: "What on earth are you thinking, young man?"

Zhao Junsheng sighed: "When a battle takes place, life must be destroyed. The general is a veteran and has rich experience in military affairs. He must know that the longer the siege battle takes, the more irritable the siege generals will be. Once the city is broken, I'm afraid I, the general, can't restrain what they will do!"

"I know that the general is loyal and upright, so I definitely don't want to surrender, and I don't force it, and I don't want to insult the general's personality. This is disrespectful to the general, but Feng Hong, the king of Yan Kingdom, is cruel and heartless. He treats the ministers and the people like pigs and dogs. If the general disregards the lives of all the soldiers and civilians in White Wolf City in order to fulfill his loyalty, it seems to be contrary to the general's conduct, so I don't ask the general to surrender, I only hope that the general will think about the wealth and lives of the people in this city, Another day, I will go to the city with the next one to persuade the guards in the city to surrender, I wonder what the general thinks?"

Zhao Junsheng spoke sincerely. Zhang Xing wanted to scold him angrily, but found that he couldn't open his mouth. After all, Zhao Junsheng was full of sincerity, acted and spoke politely, and stood on the commanding heights of morality. ----Update fast, no anti-theft--

Zhang Xing was conflicted in his heart, he was a stubborn person with conservative thinking, no matter how unbearable and cruel the Heavenly King Feng Hong was, he was still a king, as a subject he could not betray anyway, otherwise he would be disloyal.

However, Zhao Junsheng's words were not without reason. If he gave up the lives of all the people in White Wolf City for the sake of loyalty to the Heavenly King Feng Hong, it would not be something he could do.

The conflict in Zhang Xing's heart is whether he should be loyal to the heavenly king Feng Hong, or to the people, soldiers and civilians of White Wolf City?

Seeing that Zhang Xing closed his eyes, Zhao Junsheng knew that he had a hard time making a decision, so he said: "The general can think slowly, don't worry, but I will give the order to attack the city within two days at most, and I hope the general can make a decision soon Come here, please General Zhang go down to rest, and take the wine and meat with you, the general wants to eat when he is hungry!"

"Yes, General!" The Yazhu who escorted Zhang Xing agreed, and said to Zhang Xing: "Old General Zhang, please!"

After Zhang Xing was taken away, Zhu Xiuzhi sighed, "Another stubborn old man! Why bother, guarding a dying imperial court, Zhang Xing plans to be buried with Feng Hong!"

Next to him, a general of King Chang Shan sneered: "I always admire General Zhu's integrity!"

Zhu Xiuzhi blushed when he was told, but he was powerless to refute.

In order to avoid internal conflicts, Zhao Junsheng quickly interjected: "Okay, let's put aside Zhang Xing's matter first! Let's talk about the command of our North Route Army first. King Changshan died in battle, and He Duoluo also died in battle. , our North Route Army has lost its chief general and deputy general, but we can't be scattered. It is temporarily impossible for the emperor to appoint a new chief general, so we have to temporarily elect a chief general to lead the entire army. What do you think of this general's suggestion? ?”

One of Chang Shan Wang's generals stood up and cupped his fists and said, "What Mr. Zhao said is true, the general agrees!"

"The last general also agrees!" One of He Duoluo's generals stood up and echoed, and then others agreed one after another.

Zhao Junsheng looked at Zhu Xiuzhi and Hua Mulan: "What do you two generals think?"

Zhu Xiuzhi smiled and said: "General Zhao's suggestion is very good, I will support it!"

Hua Mulan said, "I agree!"

Zhao Junsheng saw that the most important two people agreed, so he said: "Well, according to the rules, there are two ways to choose a person in charge when there is no leader: first

First, the rank is judged by the title; second, the rank is judged by the official position and military rank! "

Bai Jinguang stood up and said: "The last general thinks that in the army, military rank and official position should be judged. First of all, military rank. If there is no military rank, then the official position is judged! My general is General Pingbei and Governor of Youzhou. Whether it is military rank or official position, in They are all the tallest here, so the temporary chief general of the North Route Army should be held by my general!"

But all the generals in command must have ranks, at least the rank of generals. Zhu Xiuzhi is General Fenwei, Hua Mulan is General Huwei, but they are all miscellaneous generals, while Zhao Junsheng’s General Pingbei is a permanent general of the imperial court, and his weight is higher than that of a general. Miscellaneous General is much heavier.

The generals under Hua Mulan were not happy, Hu Ying stood up and said: "I disagree, I think the title should be judged. My General Hua is Wu Chuanhou, the highest title here. I am not convinced by other people as the commander-in-chief. !"

Hua Mulan's subordinates naturally supported her, and they all stood up to support her.

He Duoluo and Tuobasu's generals are not good at supporting anyone. Whether they support Hua Mulan or Zhao Junsheng, they will offend others.

But Zhu Xiuzhi smiled and said: "I thought that the rank of the army should be judged, so I elected General Zhao to be the chief general!"

Zhu Xiuzhi's words still carry a lot of weight. After all, he is a general in charge of the army, and the people who spoke just now are all small fish and small shrimps.

Zhao Junsheng naturally didn't want to compete with Hua Mulan for the position of chief general, so he said: "I think it is more appropriate for General Hua to be the chief general. I am willing to be the deputy!"

The subordinates were messing around, and Hua Mulan was of course embarrassed to follow them. Although she is a woman, she is also a general in the army. She can't be narrow-minded and be looked down upon by others, so she said to everyone: "I support Zhao Junsheng as the general and General Zhu as the deputy! "

Hua Mulan said so, and her generals couldn't disagree with him, so they could only silence.

Seeing this, Zhao Junsheng said: "Since everyone trusts me to find someone, I will do my part! Next, let's talk about the siege. You can always wait for the defenders in White Wolf City to surrender. The siege still has to be done." City, General Zhu, most of your troops are infantry, how about your troops attacking the city tomorrow?"

Zhao Junsheng is now the chief general. Although he asked in a soliciting tone, Zhu Xiuzhi could not refuse. Zhao Junsheng asked in a soliciting tone. I'm so angry, the emperor still doesn't know how to explain it!

Zhu Xiuzhi could only agree, "This is what it should be. Leave the task of attacking White Wolf City to me! But the siege requires preparation of siege equipment, and please give me a day to prepare for it!"

Zhao Junsheng agreed: "Yes!"

One day later, at dawn, all the soldiers and horses had breakfast, and Zhu Xiuzhi's Yunzhong Army began to prepare to attack the city.

Zhao Junsheng left more than a thousand people to guard the camp, and took Hua Mulan's right wing army, his Youzhou army, the leader and the thousand people left by King Changshan to the city to cheer for Zhu Xiuzhi.

After Zhu Xiuzhi brought all the siege equipment and got ready, he was about to order the siege, when a horse galloped over to the county Zhao Junsheng and reported: "General Qi, Zhang Xing wants to see you!"

Hearing this, Zhao Junsheng knew that Zhang Xing might have figured it out. No matter what, the siege should be delayed. He said to Zhu Xiuzhi: "Brother Zhu, hold off on the siege. Let's meet Zhang Xing first to see if he can change idea!"

For Zhu Xiuzhi, it is of course the best not to attack the city, and his soldiers will not have to be lost, so there is no reason not to agree, "Okay, let's see what Zhang Xing has to say first!"

Soon, Zhang Xing was brought over.

Zhao Junsheng respected him as an old man, and when he was old, he first clasped his fists in salute: "I was about to attack the city, and suddenly I heard that General Zhang wanted to see me. I don't know what the general thinks?"

Zhang Xing seemed to be ten years older, and sighed: "The city guard Liao Kui is the old man's confidant, and the old man is willing to persuade him to offer the city to surrender, but the general must ensure that the soldiers are restrained, and no one in the city can be hurt!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "What I promise will be done naturally, there is no lie!"

"Send the old man there!" Zhang Xing nodded.

"Come here, untie General Zhang and send him there!"

Zhang Xing was sent to the gate of the city to communicate with Liao Kui, the guard. Zhao Junsheng didn't know what they said, but noticed that after a cup of tea, all the flags of wives on the top of the city were taken down. When it is opened, teams of defenders will come out and throw their weapons outside the city gate to form two hills.

Zhao Junsheng led his soldiers on horseback and came up to Zhang Xing, clasped his fists and said, "The old general has great merit. The people of White Wolf City are saved because of the general. They must be grateful to the general Gao Yi!"

Only Zhang Xing knew the pain in his heart.
