Chapter 2034: War Begins
Bashui County City.
"Report——!! There was a fire outside the city, and the Yuanzhou reinforcements were attacked!" The messenger anxiously entered the mansion, knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly, "General Zhuo is asking for urgent help!"
"What?!" Sha Yihe, the prefect of Bashui, stood up in shock, "How did Team Qi know where General Zhuo was ambushing?"
The ordering soldier shook his head anxiously: "Please send troops to rescue the prefect quickly!"
"Commanders, listen to the order!" Sha Yihe certainly couldn't let Pingnan General Zhuo Yan be annihilated by the enemy. He came to the rescue on the emperor's order. If there were any shortcomings, he would be finished. "Quickly mobilize the troops and go out of the city to rescue! "
"No!!" A civil servant in the crowd stood up and saluted Sha Yihe, "Master Taishou, our army must not leave the city lightly, beware of fraud!"
"General Zhuo is leading his troops to help Bashui County, and we are at arm's length with each other. If the general fails, Bashui will be in danger!" Sha Yihe said seriously.
"Report to the prefect! Our army has the heavy responsibility of defending the city and should not leave lightly." The civil servant suggested, "You can send someone to deliver a message and order General Morico to lead the elite troops of Miao County to assist General Zhuo!"
"This..." Sha Yihe hesitated and turned to look at other civil and military officials, "What do you think?"
"Master Taishou, the enemy troops have come from afar, and they are exhausted from the long journey!" A general came out with clasped fists, "Half of the soldiers were forced to march, have not been trained, and have low morale. Our army is waiting for work, and our troops and horses are strong. What should we fear? General If 5,000 elite soldiers come out of the city to rescue, the enemy army will be defeated!"
"No! If you go to war rashly, you will definitely fall into a trap! The enemy troops go straight to where General Zhuo ambush, and there are probably many Qiguo agents in our city. If we send troops at this time, we are afraid that we will fall into an ambush!"
"Even if there is an ambush, how can Qi Guo's weak army be able to stop our tiger and wolf army! I also ask the prefect to give the order. The last general is willing to lead the army to fight!"
"The general is also willing to lead the troops into battle!"
"The general is willing to accompany the army to fight!"
"Please send troops from the prefect!!"
"No!"
"Prefect, think twice! Defeat in an ambush is a small crime, but the city's fall is a big crime!"
"The governor cannot agree to go to war!"
"I hope the governor will think twice!"
.....
Civil and military officials immediately divided into two factions,
The civil servants all dissuaded them and asked to defend the city tightly, and sent a message asking Miao County reinforcements to rescue General Zhuo Yan of Pingnan. Most of the military officers asked to go to war, feeling that the enemy had traveled a long distance to arrive and was completely exhausted. In addition, the soldiers who had been forcibly recruited had poor combat effectiveness. , morale is low, not enough to compare with the elite soldiers in the city.
The two sides got into a dispute, and the prefect Sha Yihe had a headache.
After thinking carefully, he finally decided: "Send a message to General Morico and rush to the rescue of General Zhuo Yan!"
"Report——!!" Before the messengers could set off, another messenger came hurriedly from outside, "Emergency situation from the front! The Kaiba team raided the river bank, the Miao County army was surrounded, General Morico urgently called for help!"
"What?!" Prefect Sha Yihe was shocked, "Both ambush locations were exposed. Could it be that the generals in the city have been bribed? Otherwise, how could the military information be revealed?"
Civil and military officials looked at each other, all looking for details that might be bribed by the other party.
If General Zhuo Yan's side can be regarded as a coincidence, what about the river bank side?
The places they chose were extremely hidden, and only the civil and military officials on the scene knew about them.
"Who leaked the military information? Do you want to invade Qi's country and surrender the city?!" Sha Yihe drew his sword and shouted loudly.
All civil and military officials were in danger and turned pale with panic.
How did they know that Jia Zhengjin's side could be monitored in real time through satellite, and no detailed work was required at all.
"Prefect, don't panic! The last general only needs 10,000 elite troops. If you go out of the city and join forces with General Zhuo Yan, you will be able to repel the enemy!" A general stepped forward.
"The last general is willing to lead 5,000 troops to rush to the river bank and join forces with General Morico!"
"The last general will go out with the army!"
"The general will go where he wishes!!"
...
The generals all asked for battle, and their morale was very high.
Upon seeing this, the civil servant who was the first to speak hurriedly stood up and said: "Master Taishou, you must not go out of the city to fight! The enemy has already learned about our two ambushes and is probably well aware of the situation in the city. If we send troops now, we will definitely fall into an ambush!" The army must guard the city and remain unchanged in the face of changes!”
"Master Yang dissuaded the prefect from rushing to the aid of General Pingnan and General Morico. Don't you know that once the reinforcements are wiped out, it will be difficult to defend Bashui County! Even if you can barely hold on to the city and defeat General Pingnan and General Morico, how can your Majesty? Let the governor go?"
"Losing the city is equivalent to opening the door to our high country!"
"The two generals who came to help made mistakes, and the governor did not report their deaths! Chief Yang, could it be that you are a spy who was bribed by the enemy?"
"Nonsense! I just don't want the city to be damaged!"
"Huh! Qi Guo is just a temporary force, not to mention that they are exhausted after traveling a long distance. Now is the time to annihilate them in one fell swoop. We can easily defeat them by sending troops and joining forces with General Pingnan and General Morico!"
"Your Excellency, please don't trust me!" the civil servant said urgently, "You can't leave the city!"
"Master Yang has different intentions!" the general who advocated going to war shouted sharply.
"Master Taishou!" The civil servant was unmoved and continued to dissuade, "You must not go to war!"
Other civil servants kept their mouths shut, because both Zhuo Yan and Molico had problems with the reinforcements. If they stopped going to war at this time, they would be mistaken for being bribed by the enemy just like Master Yang.
No matter how much the prefect believed in them, facing the unanimous condemnation of all the generals, the prefect might be shaken.
As expected, when all the generals came out to ask for battle and accused Yang Zhubu of "treason", the governor finally spoke: "General Pingnan and General Morico came to help Bashui County. How can we sit idly by when they are in trouble? Yang Zhubu's behavior is suspicious, but it is not certain. Come on, temporarily put Yang Zhubu under house arrest and make another decision after this battle!"
"Yes!!" Immediately, a soldier stepped forward to hold down Yang Zhubu and drag him out.
"Don't leave the city! Don't leave the city!!" Yang Zhubu struggled desperately, his expression anxious, "If Bashui County is lost, you will be guilty!!"
Soon, his voice could not be heard, and he was probably imprisoned.
"Wang Tian, Liu Ju, Liu Sheng!"
"Here!!" Three generals responded.
"Order Wang Tian as the main general, Liu Ju and Liu Sheng as assistants, and lead 10,000 troops out of the city to help General Pingnan!"
"I will not fail in my mission!!" The three generals showed excited expressions.
"Zhang Tang, Zhao Kun!"
"I'm here!" Two more generals came out with fists clasped.
"Appoint Zhang Tang as the main general, Zhao Kun as the auxiliary, and lead 5,000 soldiers out of the city to help General Morico!"
"I obey your orders!"
"Gu Teng, Sun Lan!"
"I'm here!"
"Appoint Gu Teng as the main general, Sun Lan as the auxiliary, and lead 5,000 soldiers to follow up!"
"I obey your orders!"
"Zhou Yue, Wu Qiang!"
"I'm here!"
"I order you two to lead the troops to guard the city gates tightly, and no one can lose!"
"I obey your orders!"
"All generals, listen to my orders, you must rescue General Pingnan and General Morico, unite the troops, and defeat the enemy army of Qi State!"
"Yes!!"
