Simulated Immortal Cultivation: Beginning with Changchun's Immortality

Chapter 271
The moat had been filled in as early as yesterday, and there was basically not much left of the golden log, which was a sharp weapon for attack and defense at the top of the city.

Even if Zheng Xin ordered to search the city, it would be a drop in the bucket.

Now all he can rely on is the danger of the three mountains and the impregnability of Shanggu City.

"Tell my brothers to go on, while the Chetuo people retreat temporarily, quickly repair the damaged battlements, and replace all the wounded. The enemy will not give us time to rest in peace."

Looking at the old pawn who retreated in the sparse arrow rain, Zheng Xin didn't think that the other party would be so kind.

Sure enough, when they first boarded the camp and withdrew from the city, the gun carriages that had been misfired immediately became uneasy. If Zheng Xin hadn't made people take precautions in advance, this wave of bullets alone would have made Cai experience a lot of trouble. The guards in this fierce battle suffered heavy casualties.

The Chetuo people are using their numbers to forcefully use up all the available soldiers in the city, relying on their numbers.

It’s just that you know what you know, so what can you do?

Right now, we can only hope that the cavalry who deliver the letter can deliver the request for help to His Majesty in time.

Zheng Xin looked up at the sky, the scorching sun was scorching the earth, which was exactly the opposite of his mood at the moment.

The clear sky is not good news for the defenders of the city.

If there is a timely rain, the difficulty of Che Tuo's siege will increase exponentially, and he will have more confidence to wait until the reinforcements arrive.

But God is not beautiful.

Zheng Xin moved his gaze back to the city, inexplicably thinking of a rumor that was widely circulated among the countries.

It is said that Chetuo Kingdom is blessed by gods and Buddhas, and the weather has been good for decades, and it has never suffered any major disasters. Even the Chetuo army has never encountered extreme weather such as showers and snowstorms.

Zheng Xin looked at the pioneers rushing up bravely at the foot of the city wall, took a deep breath, tried to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, and then raised his sword to take the lead and slashed at the Chetuo people who climbed up. .

……

However, what Zheng Xin didn't expect was that his urgent letter of appeal for help had been placed on the desk of King Shiyu for a whole day, and no one in the court had yet fought for Chou Yinmao.

King Shiyu sat high in the hall, his eyes were distracted, and he yawned from time to time, and he could not see the majesty of being a king at all from him.

"My lord!"

The old prime minister let out a heartbroken yell that scared King Shiyu into a shiver.

"What's the matter, Aiqing..."

King Shiyu seemed to be a brat who did something wrong, with an embarrassing look on his face, he tried every means to shirk today and didn't want to come to the morning court, just because he was afraid of seeing the old face of his own father.

He refused to listen to the advice and was coaxed by the ambitious King Chetuo, and personally cut off the possibility of joining forces with the big cannibal to fight against the enemy.

The minister who came up with one hand could only chatter and quarrel, as if he knew nothing but doing wrong things. As soon as he saw the disappointed eyes of the old prime minister, King Shiyu felt uncomfortable.

"The Chetuo army knocked on the pass. The most urgent task is to organize the surrounding towns to rush to help day and night. Otherwise, once Shanggu City is conquered, the hinterland of our three counties will be completely exposed to the Chetuo people!"

"In addition, we need to send a team of fine cavalry to harass the hinterland of Chetuo Kingdom, making it difficult to take care of everything. Then the siege of Shanggu City can be easily solved!"

Although the old prime minister is old, his thinking is very clear.

"Yafu is right."

King Shiyu tried his best to appear humbly accepting advice.

"As for the commander's personnel, Your Majesty, I recommend Gouzi to help the commander of Shanggu City. If the city is there, the people will be there. If the city is forgotten, Gouzi will never live by idling!"

Seeing that King Shiyu finally listened to his advice, the veteran was so excited that he even asked his only son to issue a military order.

It's just that this scene where the monarch and his ministers are in harmony is not what some people want to see.

"I……"

King Shiyu heard the words and was about to agree, when suddenly another handsome and feminine man popped out beside him.

"The old minister does not avoid relatives in the country, which really makes the lower officials admire him, but he can't kill a chicken with a bull's knife. The terrain of Shanggu City is steep, and he only needs to send reinforcements. If Chetuo people are sensible, they should stay away."

"General Xu is a great talent, it is better to let him lead the cavalry to harass the hinterland of Chetuo. As for the commander-in-chief, I also have one."

This person is Xi Linan, the traitor.

As soon as the words fell, he did not wait for the old Xiangguo to open his mouth and spoke quickly.

"This man, the great king, should also know that he is the late Shouyang Lord's son Yang Benzhong. I have heard that this son has always liked military books. When Shouyang Lord was alive, he also talked about the art of war. He may not be his son's opponent, he can be called a tiger father. No dogs."

"Your Majesty, please let Yang Benzhong play for two reasons. First, you can tell the Chetuo king that our Shiyu Kingdom is not deserted. Any young general can make him return home. Second, he is also recommending talents for the king. Young people Only after tempering can you be the pillar of the country."

Xi Linan's speech can be said to be high-sounding, and no one can pick out a typo, if it is not talking about the facts.

This person would recommend Yang Benzhong for only one reason, that is, they are like-minded friends.

And Xi Linan also needs to have his own voice in the army.

"Mr. Shouyang really said that?"

King Shiyu suddenly became interested, and whispered to Wu Lianqing beside him.

"Your Majesty, Lord Shouyang has indeed said so."

Wu Lianqing replied politely.

It's just that he deliberately left out a sentence. Lord Shouyang's original words are that this son is good at reading military books, which I can't match. However, it is better to have no books than to believe in books. If this son is allowed to command an army, it may not be a blessing for the country.

If Pei Miaode was here, he would have sighed in the last sentence, what kind of horse suit from another world is this!
"Is that so..."

King Shiyu began to suffer from indecision again.

Seeing Shiyu King's hesitation, Wu Lianqing thought of the gold, silver and jewelry sent by Che Tuo's envoys every now and then, and added something softly by accident.

"Your Majesty, although General Xu is brave, he is the son of Prime Minister Xu after all. I heard that the Xu family and His Highness King Zhuang are very close..."

Wu Lianqing deliberately only spoke half of what she said.

King Zhuang is the third son of the old king. He is the brother of the mother of King Shiyu.

King Shiyu looked slightly cold.

Knowing Xu Xiang for so many years, he does not deny that the old Xiangguo is loyal and will never abolish the establishment of power.

But he will not represent his son, and his descendants will not have this idea!
For a king, the most fearful thing is not whether you have such thoughts, but whether you have the ability to do so. If General Xu returns from this battle, the prestige of the Xu family...

King Shiyu immediately made a decision in his heart.
