Fufeng Song

() Lu Yao was silent, and none of his subordinates spoke.

After a long time, Lu Yao suddenly called out: "Old Xue."

Xue Tong stood under Lu Yao, cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

Lu Yao said slowly: "In the past, Daling suffered a disastrous defeat and all the armies collapsed. However, Duke Dongying feared the enemy like a tiger and sat idly by, even abandoning Paoze and his brother to escape. When you and I were in a desperate situation, we scolded Sima Teng day and night. Rats; but I never thought that today there are people who fear the enemy like a tiger, and persuade me to follow his example!"

Before Xue Tong could answer, Shen Jin said angrily, "Lu Yao! Do you underestimate me so much?"

Shen Jin is a courageous man with a lot of energy and blood. Agitated by Lu Yao's words this time, his beard and hair suddenly bulged, and the veins on his forehead popped out, looking very terrifying.Guo Huan, Fei Cen, Yang Ruo and other officers present were Lu Yao's old subordinates. They feared his bravery and feared that he would make trouble, so they even took a step forward at the same time, holding the handle of the knife.Shen Jin also had a few personal soldiers present, and these people immediately raised their swords to be on guard.The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

At this moment, Xue Tong suddenly stood between Lu Yao and Shen Jin.

"You guys, spread out! Spread out!" He shouted loudly first, and dispersed all the soldiers surrounding him, and then saluted Lu Yao: "General, Old Shen is definitely not afraid of the enemy. He's just...well, he's just a brute."

He looked back at Shen Jin's iron-blue face, took a step closer to Lu Yao, and lowered his voice extremely low: "Daoming, there is a huge gap between us and the enemy. It is not the best strategy to stick to Jinyang, and it is not beneficial to the overall situation. Daoming, maybe we will go to Ling General Fox said, it would be better...it would be better for the whole army to abandon Jinyang and retreat to Yangqu in the north..."

"The disparity between the enemy and us? Nonsense!" Lu Yao suddenly became angry, and said sharply, "There are still more than three thousand people in Jinyang, and they are entwined with the tribes of the nobles in the city. The victory is no less than two thousand. How many Huns are there to attack this time? Three Ten thousand? Fifty thousand? At this moment, Lu Chang is defending Jiexiu with more than a thousand troops against the siege of tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops. He must have never said anything about the disparity between the enemy and us!"

Xue Tong's complexion instantly turned purple.But he endured it and said nothing more.

Lu Yao himself couldn't help being discouraged.He knew in his heart that Jinyang and Jiexiu were completely different.The reason why Jiexiu was able to defend to the death was because Mr. Yueshi led an army to rescue, and the defenders always had hope.And what about Jinyang?The Jinyang Army's family is empty and that's all there is to it. How can there be any chance of victory?

But if he abandons the city as Shen Jin said, what will happen?The tactics of the Hu people originated from the tactics of cavalry battles on the grassland, and they paid special attention to chasing death and chasing the north; just like after the last defeat in Daling, the Huns swept the entire Bingzhou with victory in just a few days.If Jinyang is lost, how can Xinxing County, which is so close at hand, be alone?Even if he flees with his troops, he is just swimming in the cauldron, at best repeating the process of leading the army to break through after Daling's disastrous defeat and finally overthrowing.

And Xue Tong's argument is not very clever.He just made a simple compromise between sticking to Jinyang and escaping on his own, hoping to retreat in an orderly manner under the leadership of Linghu Sheng.However, once the Jin army abandoned Jinyang, Yue Shigong, who was still fighting fiercely in Pingtao, would immediately fall into a desperate situation between two sides, and Linghu Sheng would never agree.But the person who suggested this to him would be beheaded immediately.What's more, dragging the people of Jinyang away from the cover of the city is nothing more than sending fat to the wolf's kiss, and they will be killed by the Xiongnu army halfway!

To have such an absurd idea, Xue Tong might be in a daze too!

At this time, if you observe carefully, you can see that Lu Yao's hands are trembling slightly, showing that he is trying his best to suppress his emotions.He didn't want to lose control, but it was really hard for him to control his emotions.When faced with a huge threat from the enemy, his effective subordinates openly talked about fleeing the battle, but he had almost no way to restrain him... because almost everyone in this team thought the same!

Lu Yao was very disappointed.Obviously, including Xue Tong, these soldiers not only lack the sense of responsibility of soldiers, but also lack the trust and obedience to the general.This kind of trust and obedience requires countless trials and hardships, and Lu Yao leads them to fight many victories before they can be cultivated.This army may have assembled the elites of the Bingzhou Army back then, but after all, the entire army has only been formed for four months.Although Lu Yao tried every means to knead them into shape, at this critical moment today, key officers like Shen Jin, and even right-hand men like Xue Tong, once again exposed their flaws!

Leaning against the battlements at the top of the city, Lu Yao tried his best to calm himself down, searched carefully for his understanding of this period of history, and unearthed bits and pieces of memory in his mind.

According to the relevant records in the Book of Jin and "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", Liu Kun set off for Bingzhou in September of the first year of Guangxi, and officially settled in Jinyang the following year, the first year of Yongjia, to perform his duties as governor of Bingzhou.Since then, he has fought fiercely with the Xiongnu Liu Han regime for many years with Jinyang base.The final fall of Jinyang City was due to the betrayal of traitors in the sixth year of Yongjia.

That is to say, in the past five years or so, although "bandits and robbers came to cover each other and always used the city gate to fight", they fell into the harsh situation of soldiers approaching the city several times, but Jinyang, which was alone behind the enemy, stood firm. It has never been captured by the barbarians.

Lu Yao thought to himself that although he was aggressive these days, he was just a mid-level military officer who commanded less than a thousand people.The battles experienced and the victories achieved may not be impossible for other generals under Liu Kun's command.Therefore, the butterfly effect caused by the traversers should be far from enough to change the power balance between Jinyang and the Huns, let alone affect the trajectory of history.In this war, Jinyang should be safe.In other words, compared to abandoning the city and leaving, the chances of survival in Jinyang seem to be greater.

Thinking about it from another angle, if Jinyang finally defends and Yue Shigong wins the battle... what will happen to those who escaped before the battle?

The plan of Shen Jin, Xue Tong and others is absolutely unfeasible, but Lu Yao doesn't know how to explain it to the soldiers.

"Old Xue, I'm anxious. Don't take it seriously if you offend me with your words just now. You and I have met in trouble, and I know what kind of person you are." Lu Yao walked back and forth for two steps, waving Xue Tong out of the way.He stared at Shen Jin and said earnestly: "Shen Jin, I treat you just the same. When Lu Yao first joined the Bingzhou Army, he was taken care of by you. Since then, he has been a colleague for many years, and the friendship is extraordinary. So, if I misunderstood you, you Feel wronged, don't you?"

Shen Jin said impatiently: "The enemy is in front of me, so why not suffer some grievances? But..."

Lu Yao rushed: "Then, in your eyes, what kind of person am I? Am I the kind of person who treats Brother Paozhe's life like nothing? Or do you not trust my judgment and think that I am the kind of person who treats Brother Paozhe as worthless? What about the fools we brought to the dead end?"

A lot of bandages were wrapped around Lu Yao's body, so every move was a little stiff, and his walking steps seemed vain, but his eyes were as sharp as ice-cold blades.The majestic Shen Jin shrank involuntarily in front of him: "Daoming, your insight and determination are ten times better than mine, and I have always admired it. It's just...just..."

"Let's put it this way, old Shen..." Lu Yao interrupted him again: "Lu Yao is a soldier, and since he was ordered by the army, he can only rest if he dies. What he has to do now is to stick to the Great Xia Gate. The reason for this is , of course I have my reasons."

He stared at Shen Jin: "I just want to know, do you believe me or not? Will you listen to my command?"

Lu Yao turned around and glanced at the subordinates present one by one: "I want to know, do you trust me? Are you willing to listen to my command?"

Although the wind whizzed past the top of the city continuously, the atmosphere under the eaves of the city tower was stagnant as if it was about to turn into a solid.

After a long while, Guo Huan was the first to stand up: "I would like to follow the command of the army leader!" Guo Huan has always been taciturn and does not express his opinions easily.Unexpectedly, he was the first to support Lu Yao at this moment.Since Lu Yao joined the Bingzhou Army, Guo Huan has been Lu Yao's capable subordinate; when he was emotional, he still blurted out the title "Military Leader".

And Fei Cen, Yang Ruo and others also stood up and said loudly: "I would like to follow the general! Just give an order, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, we are willing to go there!"

These people have followed Lu Yao for many years and are absolutely loyal.

Deng Gang hesitated for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I don't understand war. But I have lived at this age, and I ask myself how good I am at seeing people." Then he saluted Lu Yao deeply: "Deng Gang is willing to listen to the general's orders. !"

Xue Tong pondered for a moment, and finally nodded resolutely: "Daoming, you saved Lao Xue's life, and he sold it to you a long time ago. Since you have made up your mind, Lao Xue can only sacrifice his life to accompany you!"

Xue Tong's old subordinate Xie Yuan also immediately said: "I would like to follow the general!"

In a blink of an eye, Shen Jin was the only officer present who hadn't made a statement yet.Everyone looked at him together.

Shen Jin's face was uncertain, he gritted his teeth and said, "Daoming, I'm a vulgar person with little knowledge, so I didn't dare to argue with you. But in this situation, you still have to stick to the jeopardy... why don't you give me a reason first? "

Lu Yao took a step forward: "I have my own reasons, and you just need to answer. Old Shen, are you willing to listen to my orders?"

Shen Jin was silent for a long time, grinned, and sighed: "Come on! Come on! Daoming, I can trust you in the end. Whatever you say, I can do whatever I want! I, Old Shen, have never been afraid of the enemy in this life. You can't let people look down on you!"

Now that the officers have made plans, the whole army is busy.Rearranging troops, assigning defense zones, preparing for rolling logs and rocks... Many people are running back and forth.

Lu Yao suddenly patted Shen Jin on the shoulder, dragged him far away, and said in a low voice: "Old Shen, I'm only talking about you alone... my Jinyang Army will win this battle, and you don't have to Worry."

"You mean..." Shen Jin couldn't believe it: "Daoming, you mean we will win?"

Lu Yao showed an inscrutable expression: "Shut up! Don't ask more questions."

Shen Jin nodded suspiciously.

Although Lu Yao claimed that he was only talking about Shen Jin, how could Shen Jin hide his words?Just half a moment later, the news spread to every soldier in the city.

All the soldiers were taken aback by Lu Yao's serious and confident assertion.Although they were confused, they were suddenly full of hope.In the end, everyone was busy preparing for various defense matters.

And Lu Yao sat cross-legged on the wall platform, looking at the south where the main force of the Jinyang army was located, and at the east where the Huns were approaching.

The time is coming.The people who were farming outside the city of Jinyang had all withdrawn to the city, and the gates of the cities were closed immediately.

A moment later, another group of officials and soldiers with distressed expressions came outside Daxia Gate, and then several small groups of people fled to the city.Looking at their appearance, all of them were wounded, covered in blood, and very miserable.They crowded under the city and shouted at the gate. After Lu Yao reported to Linghu Sheng, he opened the gate again and let them all in.

Around the time when Shen Shi was approaching, dust heads rose up in the distance, covering half of the sky.Then, with the sound of bone flutes one after another, groups of Huns cavalry emerged from the dust and smoke.
