Chapter 765: This General's Lobbying Skills Were Learned From Lord Chang'an!

It was May 16th, the 14th year of the Qin Dynasty.

Outside Julu City, a large flag with the word "Su" flying high.

More than 7,000 Qin troops arrived outside the south gate of Julu City one after another and formed an army formation.

Julu County Magistrate Ma Fuyang held his hands on the city wall stacks, looked at Su Jiao with caution, and murmured softly: "It's the Qin Kingdom's most powerful general, Su Jiao, who came in person!"

"Our city, Julu City, is in danger!"

As a direct descendant of the Ma Fu family, Ma Fuyang knew very well that Zhao Jia had entered Dai County before the fall of Handan.

Daijun is the frontline against the Xiongnu all year round. Daijun's soldiers and horses are Zhao's elite troops that can rival Handan's soldiers and horses.

More importantly, in order to prevent Li Mu's subordinates from all his cronies from causing Li Mu to act uncontrollably, Guo Kai did not allow Daijun soldiers to participate in this battle in the name of defending against the Huns.

In this battle, Daijun's soldiers and horses only had to deal with the harassment of Qin general Li Xin, and there were few casualties.

What does it mean when the former prince of Zhao State and the elite soldiers of Daijun are combined?

The restoration of Zhao State is just around the corner!

Therefore, Ma Fuyang was neither prepared to surrender to Qin nor Yan, but just wanted to hold on to Julu City.

When Zhao Jia recast the State of Zhao, Ma Fuyang returned to Zhao State with Julu City as a loyal defender of the city, and with this, he jumped to the pinnacle of Zhao State's power.

The benefits it brought were something that Qin and Yan could not give him no matter what!

But now, with the arrival of Su Jiao, Ma Fuyang's plan has become in jeopardy.

When the Qin army was reorganized, Su Jiao drew his spear and rode his horse to the south gate of Julu City. He looked at the city gate with cold eyes and said in a deep voice: "King Zhao's order is here, and my general's flag is here. "

"What do you want to face?"

"You decide for yourself!"

Mafuyang:......

I originally thought that the Qin Congress would lobby me.

Who would have thought that Qin State would directly threaten me!

Ma Fuyang's tone also became particularly harsh: "I've heard for a long time about the great reputation of Captain Su Jiao of Qin."

"Of course, our Julu City is not a weak city, and our Julu soldiers are definitely not weak people!"

"How can the blood feud between Qin and Zhao disappear for more than a hundred years with just a piece of royal decree!"

"Now the Qin Dynasty has captured my king, dug up my country, killed my soldiers, and pulled out my city walls."

"I, the Great Zhao, can only respond with swords!"

At the top of Julu City, more than two thousand county soldiers raised their weapons and shouted in unison:

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Hearing the determined shouts of killing in Julu City, Su Jiao felt a little ashamed: "Your Majesty, can you persuade Yanghu City to surrender?"

"This general failed to persuade Julu City to surrender."

"It seems that I have not learned your skills after all. I still need to practice hard!"

Fortunately, Ying Chengxuan did not ask them to lobby for the castle walls of Guzhao, or even ask them to capture these castles, so the self-blame in Su Jiao's heart was not too strong.

After taking a deep look at Ma Fuyang, Su Jiao reined up his horse, turned around, and shouted in a deep voice: "Pass this general's order!"

"Siege the east, west, and south gates of Julu City and build siege equipment."

"Get ready to capture the city!"

Ma Fuyang:? ? ?

No, you won’t persuade me any more?

Although I have no intention of surrendering, you can at least give me some more advice!

Just as Su Jiao's troops were besieging Julu City, a scout also reported the movements of Su Jiao's troops to the ears of Yan Duwei Yi Xun.

Yi Xun frowned: "It's Qin's most powerful general, Su Jiao, who is leading the army?!"

Although Yi Xun has not seen Su Jiao with his own eyes, he has the shadow of a famous tree.

Since Su Jiao can be praised as the most powerful general in the Qin State with so many elite soldiers and no one doubts him, it means that this person must be unparalleled in bravery!

But looking back at the 20,000 soldiers behind him, Yi Xun felt a little more at ease.

So what if Su Jiao can fight again?

Our army is strong!

Yi Xun made a decision immediately: "Send the order from me!"

"The front group will march urgently with my general. We must arrive outside Julu City as soon as possible to let the Julu defenders understand that they do not need to fight the Qin army alone."

"The middle and last two units are moving at normal speed, maintaining their combat strength, and being ready to fight the Qin army at any time!"

The two to five hundred leaders of each department raised their hands in response to the order. Yi Xun led his troops to the front and led the six thousand Yan army to advance quickly!

However, when Yi Xun arrived at Julu City, he did not see the Qin army attacking Julu City. Instead, he saw that the Qin army had closed its tents and began to turn northwest!

Yi Xun's heart skipped a beat: "Has the Qin army left?"

"Could it be that Julu City has fallen into the hands of the Qin Army?!"

"The whole army speeds up!"

Yi Xun's front part, which was already maintaining an emergency stance, accelerated again.

It wasn't until the Zhao flag fluttering in the wind at the top of Julu City caught Yi Xun's eyes that Yi Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He ordered his soldiers to wait in the distance. Yi Xun only led his troops to ride their horses and approached the south gate of Julu City. He cupped his hands and shouted: "Doctor Dayan, Captain Yi Xun, have seen horses serving as county magistrates!"

Not reaching out to hit the smiling man, Yi Xun greeted him with courtesy, and Ma Fuyang returned the greeting: "Doctor Da Zhao and Julu County Magistrate Ma Fuyang have met Yi Duwei."

"I wonder what you have to do with Captain Yi coming here?"

Yi Xun said sincerely: "I came here to plan for the long-term future of Ma Fu County Magistrate, and even more to plan the life of Julu!"

Ma Fuyang smiled and shook his head: "Could it be that my surrender to Yan is a long-term plan?"

"Can a huge deer survive by surrendering to Yan?"

Yi Xun nodded and said, "This is natural!"

"Qin Captain Su Jiao has led his troops. If Julu does not surrender to Yan, it will only be a matter of time before the Qin army attacks Julu City."

"During the expedition, there will inevitably be countless casualties!"

"Moreover, Qin is tyrannical and rude, repeatedly punishing its ministers severely, and even slaughtering the people in every possible way. A wise minister like Ma Fu County Magistrate who comes from a respected family will find it difficult to realize his ambitions if he enters Qin, and his family behind him may be weakened by Qin."

"On the other hand, my Great Yan prince is kind and generous, and he is generous and magistrate."

"As long as Ma Fu County Magistrate surrenders to Yan, my Great Yan prince is willing to keep Ma Fu County Magistrate's position as a doctor, and he can even still be the magistrate of Julu County."

"I think that Julu County is still under the jurisdiction of Ma Fu County Magistrate, and the people of Julu will certainly be happy."

Yi Xun's smile became more gentle: "If Ma Fu County Magistrate has any questions, we can talk in detail!"

Compared with Su Jiao's lobbying, Yi Xun's move is the orthodox lobbying.

Allowing Ma Fuyang to continue to serve as the magistrate of Julu County not only allows Ma Fuyang to keep his current interests, but also the interests of Ma Fuyang's people.

Yi Xun even took the initiative to open the door, willing to let Ma Fuyang add more conditions and negotiate again.

But orthodox lobbying is not necessarily effective lobbying.

Lobbying with swords and swords is not necessarily inferior to lobbying with interests!

Ma Fuyang was not moved at all, but just asked: "If my Julu City returns to Yan, and then the Qin army attacks my Julu City."

"Can the Yan army guarantee to help my Julu City block the Qin army's strong attack?"

Yi Xun was speechless.

Yan State couldn't even stop the Zhao State's army, how could it stop the Qin State's army?

Yi Xun could only turn and say: "Qin is violent!"

"However, Qin State is also extremely exhausted, its national strength is empty, and its people are unstable."

"I think that as long as we work together, we will be able to repel the Qin State's army!"

Ma Fuyang sneered in his heart.

Zhao Wangyan once thought so, but would Yan State be willing to send troops to help my Great Zhao?

But Ma Fuyang did not show it, just nodded slightly: "This matter is of great importance."

"I will discuss it with my colleagues in the city before we can come to a conclusion."

Yi Xun breathed a sigh of relief and immediately saluted: "In this case, I will camp outside the city and wait for the decision of Magistrate Ma Fu!"

"If Magistrate Ma Fu has any questions, you can ask me at will!"

As soon as the voice fell, a roar suddenly sounded.

"Kill!!!"

Yi Xun and Ma Fuyang's faces changed drastically, and they turned their heads to look northwest, and saw that Su Jiao's troops, who had just withdrawn, turned their spears and rushed back again!

Yi Xun hurriedly bowed to the top of the city and said, "The Qin army is attacking again."

"I will ask the county magistrate Ma Fu to fight Qin with my Great Yan!"

However, Ma Fuyang shook his head: "There are few soldiers in our city, and it is difficult to go out of the city to fight. We can only defend the city walls."

"My soldiers will take Julu City as the base and assist Yi Duwei's troops with crossbows and arrows."

"I believe that as long as you and I work together, we will be able to repel the Qin army!"

Yi Xun's face changed.

Nangong Wen, the magistrate of Julu County, also hurriedly advised: "County Magistrate, the Qin general Su Jiao is arrogant and rebellious, and Qin has already regarded our Julu City as its own."

"I think that whether our Julu City is willing to surrender to Yan or not, we can join hands with Yi Xun's troops to repel the enemy!"

Ma Fuyang sneered coldly: "Join hands with the Yan army to repel the enemy?"

"My Great Zhao has made an alliance with Yan Wangxi several times, and Yan Wangxi has used the alliance to sneak attack my Great Zhao several times."

"This time my Great Zhao has made an alliance with Yan again, but Yan's 300,000 troops are Only surrounded the Qin army of 50,000 and failed to capture it for a long time to preserve its strength. "

"When our Great Zhao is severely damaged by Qin, Yan's true nature will be exposed. Not only will it not help our Great Zhao, but it will take advantage of our Great Zhao's weakness to seize our Great Zhao's city."

"How dare Nangong County Magistrate to join Yan's shamelessness!"

"I'm afraid that in the end, our army will fight to the death with the Qin army outside the city, while the Yan army will take our city while our army is weak!"

Nangong Wen was speechless after hearing these words, and Yi Xun was so ashamed that he covered his face with his hands.

Too embarrassed to invite Ma Fuyang to fight against the enemy with him, Yi Xun turned around and roared: "Soldiers!"

"Form a battle array and stop the enemy!"

Yixun's troops hurriedly formed a battle array.

But Yi Xun's troops, who had come from afar, had just experienced a forced march.

Facing the Qin army that suddenly turned back, how much combat power could they still have when they were exhausted?

Su Jiao, who was leading the way, just charged and knocked away the spear forest of Yi Xun's troops from the side!

"All the soldiers, follow me."

"Kill the enemy!"

The long spear in his hand shook and thrust, and pierced the throat of another Yan soldier. Su Jiao stared at Yi Xun with his eyes and shouted excitedly: "The Great Qin Su Jiao is here!"

"Yan general, don't run away!"

Yi Xun held the reins tightly, and didn't dare to fight Su Jiao head-on. He could only keep changing directions and shouted: "All troops hold on!"

"Our army is not far behind!"

"As long as our army arrives, we will be able to annihilate the Qin army!"

"Fight to the death!"

Su Jiao's troops plowed a bloody path in the Yan army like a tiger into a flock of sheep!

The horse and sheep on the city wall turned pale when they saw the overwhelming scene.

Fortunately, the middle and rear parts of Yi Xun's troops began to speed up when they heard the shouts and rushed to the battlefield within an hour.

Seeing the flags of the middle and rear divisions from afar, Yi Xun almost cried with joy and hurriedly shouted: "Order the rear division to reinforce our division!"

"Order the middle division to go west and surround the Qin army!"

Yi Xun thought that a big battle would break out next.

But Yi Xun never expected that Su Jiao just glanced at the direction of Yi Xun's middle and rear divisions from afar, then pulled the reins and said without hesitation: "Turn!"

"Withdraw!"

After saying this, Su Jiao's troops ran away.

Their running speed was so fast that even Meng Yi, who was running eastward, could not catch up!
