Chapter 1405 Temporary Calm
"Three Kingdoms Online Game: Princes Struggle for Hegemony ()"
On the wall of the inner city, Wangmen led a group of generals to guard the city, preparing to deal with the Xianbei army's attack. Unexpectedly, the Xianbei people just looked at it from a distance and then retreated. Of course, they did not retreat. The army retreated, but there were still thousands of Xianbei cavalry guarding the city gate to prevent them from sending troops to fight.
Looking at the retreating figures of the Xianbei generals, Wang Men felt mixed emotions in his heart, including expectation, regret, anger, and, well, a trace of happiness.
"Xu..."
When it was confirmed that the Xianbei army would not attack the city, all the generals at the top of the city were temporarily relieved, but their voices were a little louder. Several people gasped at the same time. Well, on the quiet city wall , well, it sounds a bit big.
All the generals lowered their heads, then secretly looked up at Wang Men's expression to make sure there was nothing unusual about him, and then turned to look at the other robes. Seeing that everyone was like this, they tacitly agreed. He lowered his head again.
In fact, the Wang Clan was well aware of the small actions of the generals nearby. Not to mention them, even the Wang Clan had some thoughts of retreating. He had only resisted the Xianbei army for five days, and had already lost more than half of it, and even lost it. In the outer city, if expectations are correct, the follow-up troops of the Xianbei army should be arriving soon.
These Xianbei vanguard troops had suffered some losses in the early attack on the outer city. Now after occupying the outer city, they must have gained a lot of benefits. However, the defense of the inner city is obviously not comparable to that of the outer city, so looking at their posture, It should be that they wanted to wait for the follow-up troops to arrive and leave the siege to the subsequent troops, while they watched the excitement.
However, I don’t know what happened to the reinforcements in the south now. If I retreat suddenly, will it disrupt Meng Yi and Zhao Yu’s strategy of defending against the enemy? If it is really because he is retreating now and Zhao Yu's army is not ready to resist the Xianbei army, then this problem is not a small one.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Men opened his mouth and said to the generals at the top of the city: "It seems that the Xianbei army will not attack for the time being. However, we cannot be slack in any way and need to brace ourselves to deal with it. From now on, all The soldiers took turns to rest, and except for those on duty on the city wall, the rest were not allowed to leave the military camp. "
Having said this, his eyes condensed and he looked at everyone present one by one, making them all tremble with fear. Then he continued: "Have people gather all the war horses in the city. Don't I feel sorry for the food and grass, so that all the war horses are well fed and rested, ready to go to war at any time."
"No, general, don't worry. The subordinates will definitely defend with all their heart. If someone dares to deal with the situation, I don't need the general to take action. I will stomp him first." Deputy General Cheng Ang said, and as he spoke, he also held the Bailian in his hand. The steel knife was raised.
Wang Men nodded: "That's good." After saying that, he turned away from the city wall and walked towards the prefect's palace in the city. Before he finished, he left a confused sentence: "Everyone, please prepare a little. "
In the outer city, there is a mansion in the west of the city, which has now become Morigen's temporary residence. A hall in the mansion is filled with all kinds of gold and silver property that the tribesmen looted from all over the city. Looking at the room full of Mo Rigen was also so happy that he could not open his mouth from ear to ear. Although he had thought that there must be countless properties that could be plundered in Chifeng City, he never expected that there would be so much.
Dai Qin said from the side: "General Zuo, these are the properties collected and donated by the sons, and some grains have been sent to the granary in the backyard. There are thousands of stones, and most of them are the best of the Han people. food."
After hearing what he said, Mo Rigen did not answer. Instead, he touched his chin with his hand and said, "It is said that the Wangmen has transferred a lot of property to the inner city. Doesn't it mean that there are more things in the inner city."
After hearing what he said, Jin Muzhen didn't understand what he was thinking, and quickly stopped him: "Absolutely not, General Zuo, don't attack the inner city. The inner city is much stronger than the outer city.
Our soldiers and horses will suffer heavy losses by then. Even if we capture the inner city, we will probably lose more than we gain. "
"Another point is that if General Zuo really captures the inner city, then King Zuo Xian and the rest of the tribe will be jealous. In order to appease everyone, King Zuo Xian will ask General Zuo to hand over part of the finances. General Zuo will still hand over some of their finances. What if you don’t pay?”
"If we pay, how much should we pay to satisfy the other tribes? If it's more, it's not cost-effective for us. If it's less, will King Zuoxian and the other tribes be satisfied?"
Jin Muzhen's words made Mo Rigen suddenly wake up: "Yes, yes, Jin Muzhen is right. I can't do such a thankless thing. No matter how many things there are in the inner city, it's still King Zuoxian." Yes, is this the reason why you asked me to protect the best mansion in the city just now?"
Jin Muzhen was also very satisfied with Mo Rigen's reaction. He was a person who had received more than a dozen educations, so he could naturally think of this. However, Mo Rigen reacted so quickly, which proved that his IQ was indeed not low. Look. There is no big problem with this investment of your own.
"Yes, not only must the mansion be protected, but General Zuo also needs to prepare some gifts. When King Zuo Xian arrives at Chifeng, he will donate them as soon as possible. There is also the next war. No matter what King Zuo Xian says , General Zuo refused on the grounds that the warriors had been attacking the city for so many days and most of them were exhausted, and gave this opportunity to attack the inner city to other tribes. "
"Well, that makes sense!" Morigen nodded thoughtfully: "Okay, let's do as Jinmuzhen said. This time, Jinmuzhen, you will get the first merit. At that time, I will definitely ask for credit for you in front of Zuo Xianwang. No matter what Zuo Xianwang's reward is, I will still have a reward for you. Let's do this. Tell me what you want. As long as this general can do it, I will definitely agree to it."
Jinmuzhen was waiting for Morigen's words, but he still pretended to be embarrassed. He hesitated for a long time before saying: "In fact, I also collected a lot of things in the city. Although it can't be compared with the gains of other adults, it is already very good."
"What? You can't even grab them. You are the first to enter the city." Morigen was surprised when he heard it;
"Although the cavalry of the general Although they entered the city as soon as possible, they were afraid of the counterattack of the Tang army's inner city soldiers, so the cavalry rushed to the gate of the inner city as soon as possible. Unfortunately, they failed to arrive before the inner city closed. After that, they had time to go after other soldiers entered the city..."
When Morigen heard this, he immediately understood that after other people entered the city, they immediately dispersed to the city to plunder, but Jinmuzhen's cavalry directly chased the Tang army's defeated soldiers to the gate of the inner city, so...
"How can that be? Let's do this. This general will reward you with 5,000 best war horses. As for other things..."
"If General Zuo really wants to reward Wei, 5,000 war horses are already a lot. As for other things, General Zuo might as well let Wei take them!" Jinmuzhen didn't let Morigen finish his words, and quickly stopped him from continuing.
