Chapter 202 The War Begins Again

Wuwei County, Governor's Mansion.

"Inspector, Inspector!"

Zhizhong Chengqiu rushed into the mansion in a hurry, and couldn't help shouting loudly.

Geng Bi frowned: "What's the matter, making such a loud noise, isn't it out of character?"

Cheng Qiu calmed down his emotions, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Han Sui killed Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, and Bian Zhang. He surrounded Longxi County with 100,000 soldiers. He has already descended to several cities. Governance."

Geng Bi's eyes flashed brightly: "Oh? The governor hasn't personally sent troops to put down the rebellion yet, but they came here by themselves."

But Cheng Qiu said worriedly: "Inspector, my Liangzhou has a small population and few generals. Now Han Sui has raised 100,000 troops. How should we deal with it? Why not?"

"kindness?"

Cheng Qiu suggested: "How about borrowing troops from Zhang Cheqi from the Meiyang camp?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Geng Bi laughed loudly and said: "Cheng Zhizhong, breaking the thief is easy, why should we give up such a great achievement to others?"

Cheng Qiu was a little confused: "Inspector, these are one hundred thousand rebels."

Geng Bi sneered and said: "Han Sui is insidious and kills his colleagues without permission. Although he has temporarily controlled an army of 100,000, everyone in the rebel army must have been in danger. Don't you feel jealous, want to kill and then hurry up?"

Cheng Qiu realized something: "What does the governor mean?"

Geng Bi ordered: "You sent people to contact Han Sui's army secretly, and promised a huge profit. Once someone rebels, the 100,000 army will collapse in succession. At that time, the rebel army will collapse without fighting."

Cheng Qiu was overjoyed: "The eunuch has a great plan, so I will handle it here."

"Wait." Geng Bi stopped Cheng Qiu.

Cheng Qiu turned around: "The governor still has important tasks?"

Geng Bi ordered: "Order the prefects of all the counties to lead their troops to assemble in Zuli City. You lead the army to rescue Longxi County first, and a certain army will arrive later."

Cheng Qiu turned around and left, Geng Bi could not help but smile slightly.

Dozens of cavalry rode out from Wuwei County to the various counties. Geng Bi issued a mobilization order, ordering the prefects of each county to gather all the remaining troops except for the necessary garrison troops, and go to Zuli City and Guzang. from the city.

Longxi County, Xiangwu City.

"Enter the army!"

I saw that the city was surrounded by the Qiang army and horses in all directions, and the horses galloping around, the smoke and dust were rampant, and the surrounding flags were countless. The entire city was completely surrounded on the north, south and west sides, leaving only the east side one door.

However, the rebel army was not in a hurry to attack, but temporarily stationed there, deterring Xiangwu City with a strong deterrent force.

"Prefect, be careful."

Under the protection of several military officers around, Li Xiangru, the governor of Longxi County, wearing armor, slowly climbed up the tower.

"this"

When Li Xiangru saw the situation outside the city, he couldn't help being startled. If the military officer behind him hadn't supported him, he might have fallen to the ground on the spot.

The flags outside the city covered the sky and the sun, and it was almost impossible to see at a glance, and it was impossible to count how many troops there were in the enemy army.

"Here, Zhou Sima, how many soldiers and horses are there in the city?"

Zhou Sima on the side said calmly: "The county guard, there are still five thousand troops in the city, but half of them are recruits. Although they are not useful, they are barely enough to defend the city."

Li Xiangru frowned and said, "Five thousand soldiers and horses. Can you hold them?"

Zhou Sima nodded: "Please don't worry, the county guard. A siege is no better than a field battle. As the saying goes, siege a city with ten times. Five thousand troops can resist 20,000 to 30,000 troops. Besides, the general has already sent scouts to break out of the encirclement. Presumably Governor Geng I will definitely lead the army to rescue."

Li Xiangru nodded: "That's good, that's good."

But at this time, hundreds of horses could be seen galloping from Han Sui's camp, heading straight for Xiangwu City.

Sima Zhou surnamed frowned, stepped forward, blocked Li Xiangru behind, and looked at the people coming from the top of the wall.

The next general in the city is tall and strong, none other than Han Sui's son-in-law and beloved general Yan Xing.

Yan Xing galloped to a distance of about a hundred steps from the top of the city, and shouted loudly: "Where is the governor of Longxi, please come out and answer!"

Li Xiangru frowned. Although he was a county guard, he was a literati, and he seemed a little timid under the pressure of such a large army.

Seeing that Li Xiangru didn't dare to show his face, Zhou Sima on the side immediately cupped his fists and said, "My husband has courage, please ask the county guard to talk to him, and the general will definitely protect the county guard with all his strength."

Seeing all the generals looking at him, Li Xiangru reluctantly nodded, stretched out half of his body on the top of the city, and said: "The enemy general under the city is Li Xiangru, the governor of Longxi County, what do you want to say. "

Yan Xing said in a loud voice: "Junshou Li, you must have seen how powerful our army is. The lord of a certain family doesn't want to commit more crimes, so he specially sent Yan to persuade him to surrender. I don't know what Li Junshou wants?"

Li Xiangru was at war between heaven and man, and as a traditional courtier, he should naturally fight the rebels with all his strength, but when he thought that if the city was destroyed, he would die, and even his family would be hard to save, should he agree?

Seeing that Li Xiangru did not reply for a long time, Zhou Sima frowned and took a pair of bows and arrows from the soldiers.

"The thief general! My county guard is a courtier of the great man, how can he surrender the thief?"

Zhou Sima raised his bow and set his arrow, the arrow was aimed at Yan Xing, and shot out suddenly.

"Look at the arrow!"

Before the words fell, the long arrow in his hand had already come out of the string, making a whistling sound in the air.

Yan Xing's eyes suddenly opened, and he dodged sideways, and the arrow shot into the soil.

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, I'm afraid he was about to be hit by the arrow just now. Yan Xing was furious and raised his head and said angrily: "Li Xiangru! Since you don't know good and bad, you will definitely execute your whole family after breaking the city. Dogs and chickens will not be left behind."

"What?" Li Xiangru's eyes darkened and he almost fainted, while Zhou Sima beside him shouted: "Yan Xing, don't think too much, if you have the ability to attack the city, there will be countless Arrows are waiting for you."

Yan Xing snorted coldly, turned his horse around, and hundreds of horsemen followed and turned back.

But Li Xiangru stood up angrily, and shouted to Zhou Sima: "Zhou Sima! What are you doing? If the city is broken, wouldn't all the young and old of the county guards escape death?"

"This county guard is just pretending to agree to him first, entrusting him with a false snake for a few days. By then, the governor's army must have arrived. I will cooperate with the inside and outside, and we will surely destroy the thief. You simply don't know the painstaking efforts of this county guard! "

Li Xiangru lost his temper with Zhou Sima. He originally wanted to tell Yan Xing that the prefect should think about it for a few days before making a decision. As a result, Zhou Sima, a stunned young man, suddenly shot an arrow. In case Han Sui really attacked the city, How many days can a mere 5,000 soldiers and horses last?
