Boling City, this is the gateway to the north of Jizhou.

Originally, Zhang He's garrison was here to prevent Zhang Yan's invasion, but since Zhang Yan's defeat, the garrison he led did not leave the place, but continued to stay here, and the purpose was naturally to prevent Liu Bian, who was the emperor in the north.

When Zhang He received the order from Han Fu, he was very hesitant to tell the truth, because his official position was conferred by Emperor Ling of Han, not by Han Fu, so Han Fu, the prefect of Jizhou, was only a relationship between superiors and subordinates I don't want to die for it.

It's just that Han Fu is still his Shangguan, so he didn't leave his post without permission, but every time he remembered that he was guarding against the previous emperor, he felt a little awkward.

"General, general! There are a large number of troops outside the city!" The personal soldiers rushed directly from outside and shouted loudly.

Zhang He's face condensed: "What's the matter? Zhang Yan is not already defeated, where will there be a large number of troops?"

The soldier said, "It seems that they came from Youzhou, not some rogue. 99

"Is it from Youzhou?"

Zhang He sighed secretly, and his heart was even more tangled. He didn't want to be an enemy of Liu Bian. First, he had the heart to serve the country, and secondly, his name was not right, and his words were not right. How should he lead the army to fight?

Now the most tangled thing in his heart is the imperial court in Luoyang, the imperial court in Youzhou and the orders of Han Fu. Who should he obey?

Although he has thought about it countless times these days, he still has no decision.

It's not that he is indecisive, it is true that in today's chaotic world, he naturally has to think more about himself.

As the personal soldiers reached the top of the city tower, they could see the army covering the clouds and the sun from a distance, and a big Xue character was written on the banner above.

When Xue Rengui led the army to Boling, he saw that there was not much defense on the city gate, and he even said that it was very lax. If it were normal, Xue Rengui would naturally order an attack immediately, but this time His Majesty explained repeatedly that the two armies All are feint attacks, only Xindu is the main attack all the way, so he does not plan to attack.

But not attacking did not mean confronting him. Xue Rengui wanted to make the defender Zhang He surrender through his own persuasion.

Xue Rengui, who was far away, rode forward directly, and shouted toward the tower: "General Zhang He is here, and General Xue Rengui of Pingnan is here 々||.

When Zhang He on the city wall heard the shouts below, he suddenly came up: "Under Zhang He, dare to ask General Xue why he sent troops to attack me in Jizhou? 99

Xue Rengui said sternly: "I am called to come here to recover Jizhou."

"Now, Han Fu, the prefect of Jizhou, disobeyed His Majesty's will and publicly rebelled. This can be described as a heinous crime. The general is not his confidant, so why bother to sacrifice his life for him?

"What's more, Your Majesty is very talented now, and it is precisely to clean up the rivers and mountains. The general Wen Tao and martial arts are extraordinary, why not submit to His Majesty, and in the future, you will be able to seal your wife and son, and fight for glory and wealth?"

Zhang He was stunned for a while. To be honest, he was a little moved. After all, the Han Empire had existed for hundreds of years. Loyalty to the Han family and the country still had a certain weight in his heart, but...

"My duty is to guard Boling, and I don't think about other things. There are also emperors in Luoyang City. It's hard to say who is the orthodox. I hope General Xue will not make it difficult for me, and I won't let the soldiers out of the city." Zhang He shouted. road.

Now that he has not made up his mind, his words are naturally ambiguous.

But what he said made Xue Rengui overjoyed. It seems that what the military advisor and His Majesty said was really good. Zhang He was not Han Fu's best friend at all, but a swinger.

Thinking of this, Xue Rengui continued to persuade: "General Renyi, there is nothing wrong with what you said, but today's emperor was abolished by Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo is a big traitor who is caught and executed by everyone in the world. How can the emperor he established be serious? ?33

"What's more, he wanted to hunt down and kill important officials in Luoyang City, and he was even more mad. It is hard to say whether Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, is still alive. Could it be that the emperor Liu Bian is right in front of you, you are not loyal, you have to be loyal to Dong Zhuo's Do you kidnap King Chenliu, who doesn't know his life or death?

Xue Rengui's words are very powerful. Now, what is Liu Xie's doing? These people in the world don't know. If it is said that he has been assassinated by Dong Zhuo, how can they admit that Luoyang is the authentic one? Doesn't this mean that he is in trouble with Dong Zhuo?

Zhang He hesitated even more in his heart.

The more he pondered on his side, the happier Xue Rengui became. Whether it was to hold Zhang He down or to surrender Zhang He, it would be beneficial to him without harm.

As long as Jizhou Xindu was broken, those who were as swaying as Zhang He would naturally have a decision in their hearts, so Xue Rengui had time.

After a while, Zhang He was still silent, his face full of confusion.

Xue Rengui said again: "" 々 General Zhang, I am not forcing you here, within three days, I will never attack the city, but after three days you must give me a result, whether you want to be loyal to His Majesty Song.

"I believe you are a good man, as long as you promise you will definitely do it, how?

Zhang He didn't hesitate this time. He didn't want to be the enemy of Liu Bian.

"I promise you, I will give you an answer (Zhao Hao Zhao) in three days. I hope General Xue will not break his promise and attack Boling in these three days." Zhang He shouted.

Xue Rengui was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was very solemn: "Don't worry, General Zhang He, I, Xue Rengui, believe what I say, not to mention that Your Majesty has heard of General Zhang He's reputation and is a famous general in Hebei, so I hope you can make the right choice. !35

"retreat!!"

Xue Rengui shouted so loudly that even Zhang He on the tower could hear it faintly.

The 20,000 army retire as soon as they say it, without any nostalgia, which makes Zhang He even more favorable towards Xue Rengui.

After watching Xue Rengui exit a few miles away, Zhang He then left the city tower.

After returning to the mansion, he even pondered in the house by himself: should I surrender or not? Which path is mine?.
