"Master, General Gongsun Leng is here."
It is almost October, which is a good time for autumn. The maple leaves in the back garden are red, and the fruits are fragrant. The scenery is undoubtedly beautiful. With nothing to do, Lu Xiang is happy to have a drink alone in the garden. , I saw him lying shirtless on the rocking chair, drinking from a bottle, and humming a tune while shaking his head. He could be as leisurely as he wanted. Just when he was feeling very comfortable, he saw the concierge rushing over. , carefully approached Lu Xiang's ear, and reported in a low voice.
"Huh? Come on, come on, please, ah, wait a minute, go get someone's armor, go on, go on."
When he heard that Gongsun Leng had arrived, Lu Xiang couldn't help but trembled. This was because Gongsun Leng was not only the head of the Military Intelligence Bureau, but also the head of the Military Law Department. He held the power of military law and was the leader of Youzhou. Even though Lu Xiang, an absolutely powerful figure in the army, thought he had done nothing wrong, he absolutely did not dare to let Gongsun Leng see him drinking so leisurely.
"The last general has met General Lu."
After cleaning up, Lu Xiang quickly led his guards to welcome him out of the gate. As soon as he showed his face, Gongsun Leng rushed forward and bowed respectfully.
"Hey, brother, you're welcome. You're welcome. Let's talk inside."
Lu Xiang's official rank was that of a partial general, which was one level higher than Gongsun Leng's general Pi, but he definitely did not dare to act like a superior. When he saw Gongsun Leng saluting him, Lu Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and smiled. Hehehe returned the gift with his hand in hand.
"General Lu, I am on official business, so I would like to ask General Lu to retreat."
Gongsun Leng was as famous as he was, and he was really cold. After entering the hall with Lu Xiang in silence, he made a serious comment without waiting to sit down.
"Good, please step back."
When Gongsun Leng showed such an attitude, Lu Kuang couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, but he didn't dare to raise any objections, and he waved away all the attendants.
"According to reliable information, Tadun and Liaodong Gongsun Du Jiran joined forces to gather 80,000 cavalry and 70,000 infantry. They claimed that an army of 200,000 would arrive at Junmi City within three days."
The attendants had just retreated, and Gongsun Leng did not hesitate at all, and revealed the enemy's information without any expression.
"ah……"
Lu Kuang originally thought that Gongsun Leng came here to investigate and deal with the illegal activities of his subordinates, but he never expected that what he brought was such shocking news, and he was stunned.
"If General Lu feels that he cannot defend Junmi City, there is no need to force him. Just go back to Ji County. Others will defend this city."
As soon as Lu Xiang showed his frightened look, Gongsun Leng's eyes suddenly became sharp and he gave him a blow to the head without any courtesy.
"Ah, oh, brother, I misunderstood. Lu has been greatly favored by his lord. How dare he stand outside the lord? He should live and die with the city. However, we are outnumbered and our troops are outnumbered. Even if Lu is made of iron, he will not be afraid. Can't you drive out a few nails? Lu's death is not a big deal, but if he misses the Lord's important event because of this, Lu will not be able to escape the blame even if he dies hundreds of times."
Although Gongsun Leng's tone was not high-pitched, it was like thunder in Lu Xiang's ears. Are you kidding me? If he really dared to return to Jixian, let alone his current status, he might even lose his life. We must be able to protect it. As for escaping or surrendering to the enemy, since Gongsun Leng was already here, even if Lu Xiang had ten more courages, he would not dare to do it. He just thought of facing a strong attack by 150,000 enemy troops. Lu Xiang felt as miserable as if he had eaten coptis. Without him, it was probably because he only had 5,000 soldiers and horses under his command. Even if he could recruit some strong people to help in the battle, the total force would only be over 10,000 at most. If Without a miracle, just being able to hold on for ten days would be the limit.
"General Lu, don't worry too much. My lord and the military strategist have already made arrangements. You just need to secure the wall and clear the country as soon as possible, and organize the people to strengthen the city defense. As long as you hold on to the west, the military strategist will lead the main force to come for reinforcements. Is it possible for General Lu to do it?"
Gongsun Leng didn't pay attention to Lu Xiang's screams, because this was a normal reaction. If Lu Xiang didn't scream and slapped his chest randomly, then something would really go wrong.
"If this is the case, Lu will risk his life to keep Junmi City intact!"
When he heard that he only had to defend Xiri, Lu Xiang's tense heart immediately relaxed. Thinking that he could cope with it safely, he immediately became impassioned.
"That's good. The military advisor has ordered us to defend and not go out to fight. In addition, I will stay here and be at the disposal of General Lu."
As soon as Lu Xiang's impassioned appearance came out, Gongsun Leng's originally relaxed nerves suddenly became tense, and he gave Lu Xiang an uneasy warning.
"Welcome, Lu will feel at ease now that I have my brother here."
When he heard that Gongsun Leng was going to stay, Lu Xiang's expression froze immediately, but he had no choice but to force himself out a few smiles that were not much better than crying, and he uttered a few embarrassment …
"Woo, woo, woo..."
The intelligence given by Gongsun Leng was extremely accurate. He said it would be within three days, and it was indeed the case - at three o'clock on the first day of October, while the soldiers of the Junmi City defenders were still busy strengthening the city's defenses, Dong Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a large number of Wuheng cavalry troops surged forward. Upon seeing this, the sentries on duty at the top of the city immediately blew the emergency horn.
"Don't panic, pass on this general's order: close the west gate tightly, and all the troops will go to the city in the predetermined order to prepare for war!"
After receiving Gongsun Leng's announcement, Lu Xiang moved to the city gate building in the east city to work. When the horn sounded, he rushed to the city plate as soon as possible. When he looked outside, he saw countless people in the billowing smoke and dust. The flags were waving. The vanguard troops alone numbered at least 50,000. His pupils could not help but shrink. However, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Lu Xiang had to pretend to be calm and calm and fired two consecutive attacks. General's order.
"Zheng Ming, I will immediately go to the city and shout for Lu Xiang's son to open the city and surrender. I will not hesitate to give him the title of king, so go ahead."
Tadun has really suffered from Gongsun Ming for more than a year. Not only has his population been plundered by the Youzhou Army, but also the economy of the Youzhou Army has been blocked - except for his subordinates. All the tribesmen in Heng made a fortune from smuggling salt, but he, Tadun, was excluded. His soldiers complained so much that they almost drove Tadun crazy. Now he finally had a good opportunity to feel proud, and Tadun was in high spirits. Next, regardless of the fatigue from the long journey, he led his troops to rush to the city, quickly formed an attack formation, and had the courage to take down Junmi City in one go...
