Chapter 429: Besieged City, Two Thousand-Year-Old Foxes

"After this battle, you should give up the throne. You can be a powerful prince, or you can be a carefree and idle prince in the royal city. It's up to you to choose. If you don't know how to appreciate it, don't blame me for not talking about brotherhood."

When Jin Rishan said these words, he didn't even bother to turn his head back. These words can be said to be a naked threat to Nanxian King to give up the throne. Seeing Jin Rishan walk out of the royal court, Nanxian King sat on the throne in disappointment, staring at his brother who had left, and fell into great disappointment.

After walking out of the royal court, Jin Rishan immediately went to the parade ground of Nanxian King City to gather the remaining troops and prepare to resist Dian Wei and his siege.

The remaining 20,000 troops of the Nanxian King's court were all recruited by Jin Rishan, preparing to go out of the city to fight Dian Wei. Jin Rishan had faced Ma Teng in his early years and had a great battle with Ma Teng, but he was defeated. Since then, Jin Rishan has completely lost the opportunity to inherit the throne, which led to the matter of the King of Nanyuan succeeding Jin Rishan.

Therefore, after learning that there was an invasion by the Han people, Jin Rishan became interested. Because he was born on the grassland, Jin Rishan always looked down on the Han cavalry. He had no intention of defending the city at all. Moreover, the Nanxian King's city was not even as solid as a small military town in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, and defending the city was useless. Therefore, he led the cavalry out of the city to fight and play their advantages on the grassland. Only then could they defend the city.

Cavalry is not good at attacking cities, and similarly, cavalry is not good at defending cities. Dian Wei was ready to use cavalry to attack the city, but what he didn't expect was that the South Gate of Nanxian King City was wide open, and countless cavalry rushed out, lined up under the wall of Nanxian King City, and raised their spears, intending to charge and fight with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

A majestic general rode a grassland horse and slowly walked out of the formation, came to the front of the formation, wandered back and forth in front of the formation, and looked at Dian Wei and his 4,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry indifferently.

At the same time, a cavalry followed the general out, and then heard the general yelling loudly for a while, which Dian Wei and his men couldn't understand at all, and then the cavalry next to him began to speak in pure Central Plains Mandarin.

"Our Northern Court King asks, no, our Southern Sage King asks you, where are you from, who are your generals, and how dare you attack our Southern Sage King Court so blatantly?"

Dian Wei then realized that the words the general just said were in the language of the Hu people, and the rider who came out with him was just a translator.

"We are under the command of the Prime Minister of the current Han Dynasty, and we have been ordered to come to fight against the Xiongnu rebels!"

The translator said it again in the language of the Hu people, and the general immediately waved his hand and suddenly began to speak in the same authentic Central Plains Mandarin.

"The Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty? What does it have to do with us? Do you want to destroy the long-standing peace between us?"

"Bullshit peace."

Dian Wei rode forward a few steps with the halberd in his hand, and raised the halberd to aim at the majestic general.

"What you call peace is that you can plunder our borders and kill our people from time to time, but we can't attack you?"

"Why isn't it Ma Teng who came? I still have some accounts to settle with Ma Teng."

Jin Rishan ignored Dian Wei's answer and just looked at the cavalry behind Dian Wei curiously, but didn't find the young general who had shot him off his horse.

"Ma Teng?"

Dian Wei sneered.

"It's okay, you will meet him soon."

Before he finished speaking, Dian Wei raised his halberd high.

"Kill!"

Four thousand tiger and leopard cavalry began to charge together. Even when facing the Xiongnu cavalry that was five times their number, they still had no fear and took the initiative to charge. Seeing this scene, Jin Rishan also snorted coldly and took his weapons from his subordinates. They were a pair of peculiarly shaped scimitars with a blade of more than one meter and flashing cold light.

After all, the Xiongnu were nomadic people. They lacked iron resources, so only military officers or some powerful soldier corps could have weapons made of fine iron. Most of the others only used spear tips made of fine iron, and the spear shafts were made of wood.

Jin Rishan waved his two swords, his eyes full of fighting spirit. He was eager to take revenge and defeat and kill all these cavalrymen who were also Han soldiers.

However, the scene of 20,000 cavalrymen sweeping across the Han Dynasty did not appear as he imagined. Instead, the opponent's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which had only 4,000 people, broke through their defense like a sharp blade and killed into the formation of the opponent's cavalry.

The Xiongnu cavalry could not stop their charge at all. Although they were a nation born on horseback, their combat power was far different from that of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Dian Wei wandered outside the battlefield. He had only one goal, that was Jin Rishan, who had not yet joined the battle at this moment. Only by killing Jin Rishan could he obtain legendary general points and return to Xudu as soon as possible.

Therefore, Dian Wei's eyes were always locked on Jin Rishan. The army had already left the city and ambushed in the north, west and east of the city. Cao Zhang, who was responsible for blocking King Nanxian from sending a letter out of the city for help, also began to slowly surround King Nanxian's city.

Four thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, slaughtering twenty thousand Xiongnu Cavalry, this doesn't look like a force gap that can win, but now the four thousand Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are holding spears and hacking hard. The powerful characteristic bonus and the basic attributes of the third-rate generals make them completely crush the Xiongnu cavalry with no bonus at all. One spear can harvest the head of a Xiongnu cavalry.

Jin Rishan didn't expect this situation to be so loud. He hadn't fought on the border for too long. How could he know that the players he fought before were all before the Yellow Turban Rebellion. At that time, many players had not entered the game, including Ma Teng. Although the Xiliang Cavalry was one of the most powerful arms in the Three Kingdoms in history, that was history. The attributes of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry were not even as real as the characteristic bonus of a first-rate general.

When the two armies fought for the first time, the scene of broken limbs flying that Jin Rishan imagined did appear, but the roles of the two sides were reversed, and it was the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that killed the Xiongnu cavalry and retreated step by step.

Jin Rishan was puzzled. How come after not seeing each other for a few years, the opponent's strength has increased so much? Jin Rishan took a deep breath, holding two swords, and rushed into the battlefield. Dian Wei was even more straightforward. When he saw Jin Rishan entering the battlefield, Dian Wei also went down and rushed straight to Jin Rishan's position.

With two swords in hand, Jin Rishan's combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. Unlike the King of Nanyuan, Jin Rishan should cherish his life more. He specially chose the most solid place for the generals to confront and began to advance slowly. In this way, he could kill more tiger and leopard cavalry before Dian Wei found him, adding a few more chances for his Xiongnu cavalry to win.

Dian Wei was even more straightforward. He just carried a halberd and rushed straight towards Jin Rishan. At the first moment when the two armies started fighting, Cao Zhang also led the army to start the siege. In this battle, the only thing waiting for Jin Rishan and the Nanxian King's court was destruction.

In Jiaozhou Jiaozhi County, thousands of kilometers away from the Nanxian King's Court, Shi Xie welcomed an unusual guest today, Sun Jian.

After all, the two are now allies, so there is nothing wrong with Sun Jian coming to Jiaozhou, but what Shi Xie feels is that Sun Jian's attitude surprised him a little.

Although the two have been allies for a long time and the covenant between them is relatively solid, before this, Sun Jian's attitude towards Shi Xie has always been indifferent, with a high-handed and domineering attitude. Shi Xie naturally knows the reason. His Yangzhou is vast and rich, with strong soldiers and horses, and it is normal for him to look down on Jiaozhou, but the two sides have never had a conflict in this regard.

However, Sun Jian's attitude today even made Shi Xie doubt whether the person in front of him was Sun Jian, because Sun Jian's attitude was really too enthusiastic.

In Shi Xie's state governor's mansion, he and Sun Jian sat in the main seat and guest seat respectively. The two greeted each other, as if they wanted to make up for the greetings they had missed before.

Not only that, Sun Jian also brought a lot of gifts. It looked like he was just short of writing the phrase "a weasel wishing a happy new year to a chicken" on his forehead.

The only people who came with Sun Jian were Sun Ce, Gan Ning, and three hundred personal soldiers. From this, it can be seen that at least Sun Jian did not come here to force the emperor to abdicate. It was not until they finished lunch and sat together drinking tea that Sun Jian finally revealed the purpose of his visit.

"Wei Yan, to be honest, I actually have another request this time, and I hope you can agree to it."

Shi Xie raised his eyebrows slightly. Since Sun Jian came to Jiaozhou, he had been playing dumb for the whole morning, and finally began to talk about his purpose.

"Go ahead, Wentai. There's no need to talk about our friendship. Just say whatever you want to say."

"My son, you've been idle around here every day, not doing anything serious. I just wanted to throw Bofu here because you're close to the border and there are barbarians causing trouble."

Sun Jian said with a smile. Like Cao Cao, he had witnessed Guan Yu's power. Back in Jiangxia County, Guan Yu's sword broke the situation for Huang Zu and pulled Jiangxia City, which was destined to be destroyed by Jiangdong's iron hoof, back from the edge of the cliff. At that time, Sun Jian guessed that Guan Yu must have been promoted to a legendary general. After seeing the power of the legendary general, he had a complete epiphany like Cao Cao.

It turned out that their previous development direction was completely wrong. What about expanding territory, recruiting troops, this and that, were all empty talk. Could a hundred thousand troops stop Guan Yu? At that time, Guan Yu was outside the city of Jiangxia County, and he destroyed more than a thousand cavalrymen with one sword. Among them, there was a first-class general Zu Mao, who could not stop Guan Yu's sword. How long could the 100,000 troops stop?

He thought this should be a game of strategic war at first, but until now, he realized that this is a game of development. As long as there is a strong enough general under his command, everything else has to be put aside. Legendary generals can now decide a war and the absolute world situation.

Last time in Jiangxia, because Sun Ce killed two second-rate generals, he was successfully promoted to a famous general. After Sun Ce was promoted to a famous general, the characteristics he obtained made Sun Jian rekindle his ambition to compete for the world.

After Sun Ce was promoted to a famous general, the characteristics he obtained were very violent. In summary, there are a few words, the characteristics of the hero are enhanced by 150%, and the speed of obtaining legendary general points is +70%. If he had seen Guan Yu before, he would only think that this characteristic was a garbage characteristic and had no great effect at all.

But now, Sun Jian just wanted to shout out "Awesome!". Compared with the 70% increase in the speed of acquiring points for legendary generals, even if the 150% enhancement for the hero is a bit inferior. The 150% enhancement of the hero's characteristics only makes Sun Ce's characteristic bonus higher, but the 70% increase in the speed of acquiring points for legendary generals gives Sun Ce a higher upper limit. Once he is promoted to a legendary general, who cares about these bonuses?

As long as Sun Ce is promoted to a legendary general, all problems can be solved. He no longer has to worry all day long, fearing that Guan Yu will come to kill him one day and take his life.

Looking at Sun Jian, then looking at Sun Ce, and then looking at the few hundred people brought by Sun Jian, Shi Xie understood what Sun Jian meant. This old guy not only wanted Sun Ce to experience it here and kill the Nanman, but most importantly, let Sun Ce take his soldiers to experience it. Otherwise, why would he bring so few people here? This is a naked attempt to get free sex from him.

Thinking of this, Shi Xie restrained his smile and said with embarrassment.

"Brother Wentai, you don't know that these southern barbarians near Jiaozhi County have always had a good relationship with me. We have never had any incidents with each other, let alone attacks on each other. If we rashly go to war, it will have a great impact on me. I am afraid that all the businesses on my border will not be able to operate."

What Shi Xie said is also true. He and several barbarians near Jiaozhi County have already established a cooperative relationship of mutual trade. There are very few incidents. If there is any dispute, it will never reach the point of going to war.

As if he expected Shi Xie to say this, Sun Jian shook his head.

"Wei Yan, you think too much. How can I cut off your financial resources? We will not touch the barbarians near Jiaozhi County. We will only attack some foreign tribes in the south. This will not affect your financial resources, right?"

"That's fine, but the journey from Yangzhou to here is long. If the battle line is so long, it will be a big burden for you, Brother Wen Tai, right? If Brother Wen Tai trusts me, Brother Wen Tai can let my nephew bring the army to stay here, and I will provide you with food and grass. It is better than having baggage and food stretching for thousands of miles."

Shi Xie immediately took the initiative to offer them a venue. Sun Jian was embarrassed to ask for the loan of troops because of Shi Xie's retreat. After thinking for a long time, Sun Jian was about to open his mouth and cry about his insufficient military funds, which were not enough to support such a long march, but was interrupted by Shi Xie again.

"Brother Wen Tai, I know you are short of money recently. Let me personally support Brother Wen Tai with some silver."
