Chapter 472

Zhang Jai led an "army of tens of thousands" to arrive, and surrounded Shangcai City on all sides. The small city of Shangcai suddenly fell into panic. You must know that the total number of guards in the city is only a thousand people. Wouldn't it be a one-shot attack to attack a city?

"Brother Wang, you said we can last until the lord this time, I mean Your Majesty." The recruit in the county knew that he had made a slip of the tongue and asked cautiously, "Will Your Majesty send troops over?"

"Hey, Your Majesty will definitely send troops over." A veteran soldier wearing a leather armor with scratches smiled and said, "It's just that Shangcai City is a county after all. We eight or nine hundred old and weak soldiers can It’s hard to say if we can’t get His Majesty’s reinforcements.”

The recruit subconsciously clenched the spear in his hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Then, what should we do?"

The veteran smiled grimly: "Do you know who is leading the army?"

"I don't know." The recruit honestly shook his head. He only saw a word on the enemy's general flag outside the city, but he didn't know who it was.

"That's Liu Yuqing's general Zhang Jaw!" The veteran proudly showed off his knowledge to the recruits: "General Liu fought in all directions, and there are two generals under his command, Yu Jin and Zhang Jaw, just like the Marquis of Huaiyin and the King of Liang (Peng Yue) .”

"Yu Wenze and Zhang Junyi are all generals under Liu Ye's command who can stand alone." The veteran said seriously: "This time Liu Ye sent Zhang Jaw, I'm afraid the whole Runan County is in danger, let alone the small city of Shangcai."

Just when the recruit was deeply worried, a loud shout suddenly sounded from behind the veteran.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Seeing Li Xianwei's gloomy face, the veteran hurriedly smiled: "So it's Li Xianwei, I'm joking with Brother Zhang, don't take it seriously."

Li Xianwei snorted coldly: "The enemy is now, if you dare to speak nonsense again, I will stab you to death first."

"Yes, Li County Lieutenant, please go." The veteran sent him away with a smile on his face, patted his chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Wang, County Lieutenant Li is so vicious, I think he really wanted to kill you just now." Seeing the county lieutenant leave, Xiao Zhang's heart was still beating very fast.

"You don't know, this County Lieutenant Li is a capable man." Veteran Wang said: "Li Xianwei made a lot of contributions, but they were all snatched by the generals above, so he is still a county lieutenant so far, otherwise His Majesty would not Make him a general."

Li County Lieutenant naturally couldn't hear the two people's discussions. Zhang Jaw's army was attacking the city, and he couldn't sleep late at night, so he went out to patrol, thinking while walking.

Why didn't Zhang Jah drive his troops to attack the city?

Zhang Jai and Yu Jin have always used opposite styles of troops. Yu Jin fights steadily and without revealing his flaws. Like Mount Tai, he attacks the enemy with a dignified and upright momentum. He belongs to the "upright" faction. Yu Jin blocked the enemy with an iron wall-like defense, and only then did he change from weak to strong.

But Zhang Jai used his troops skillfully, not sticking to the shape. Now Shangcai City is in front of Zhang Jai. Shangcai City is not a fortified city defended by Shouchun, Pingyu and others. Why not go down with one blow?

Li Xianwei is also a person who is proficient in the art of war. If he were to lead the army, he would directly attack the city day and night, take down Shangcai County in one day, and then spread it to all directions. Liu Bei, while cutting off the grain and grass sent from Shouchun to Zhang Xun's department, wouldn't he be sure to win?

Zhang Jaw sits on a large army and does not attack the city, is it true?

"Could it be that Zhang Jaw is bluffing, he doesn't have many soldiers under his command?"

Li Xianwei's eyes suddenly flashed, and he hurried back to the government office.

Candles were lit in the county government office, the county magistrate was worried about opening his jaw, he was stunned when he heard the hurried footsteps.

"Zhengfang, why are you here?"

County Lieutenant Li ignored him, and rushed directly to a map of Runan County, and looked at it carefully.

"Zhang Jai attacked Kunyang first, and then broke Wuyang. Could it be that he traveled a long distance from Pingdingshan Road?"

I see!

Li Yan only felt that his heart suddenly became clear, no wonder Zhang Jaw was here to surround and not attack, he was simply bluffing!

"Hahaha!"

Li Yan laughed out loud, and the county magistrate looked terrified.

"Zhengfang, haven't you been frightened crazy?"

The county magistrate looked at Li Yan with soft eyes. It was not easy for Li Yan to say it. He led hundreds of county soldiers to destroy several bandit villages, but the credit was taken away by several other generals in the army. freaked out, oh

"Yuan Ying, we are going to make a great contribution!" Li Yan said excitedly, grabbing the arm of the magistrate Liu Fu with both hands.

"Zhengfang, our lives are in other people's hands, so what's the big deal?" Liu Fu smiled wryly.

"Zhang Jai doesn't have an army of tens of thousands!" Li Yan said excitedly, "He came from Nanyang County with light soldiers and crossed the Pingding Mountain Road. How could he lead an army of tens of thousands?"

Liu Fu frowned: "But today, his subordinates are very powerful during the day, and we all saw it."

"Hmph!" Li Yan said with a sneer, "Zhang Jaw went down to Kunyang and Wuyang cities in a few days. As long as the people in the cities are mobilized, isn't that an army of tens of thousands?"

Liu Fu nodded thoughtfully, then frowned and said, "But this is just your guess, what if Zhang Jaw really mobilized tens of thousands of troops?"

Li Yan said solemnly: "So tonight, I will go to his camp to find out the truth."

"Are you going to risk yourself again?" Liu Fu quickly waved his hand: "No, no! If it's really what you said, open your jaw and bluff, then even if you don't try it, Shangcai City is as solid as gold; if you open your jaw really Sen Yan, don’t you think hundreds of people are going to go to the tiger’s mouth?”

"Yuanying!" Li Yan said loudly, "A real man was born in the world. He studied letters and cloth, and lived in a small county. What if he lived to be 800 years old like Peng Zu?"

Liu Fu's face turned red, but he couldn't help shaking his head: "No, I won't let you go."

"Yuanying, don't forget." Li Yan took a step forward, stared into Liu Fu's eyes, and said word by word: "I am the county captain and have the right to deploy troops."

After finishing speaking, Li Yan strode out directly, and Liu Fu couldn't call him no matter what.

"Fair, square!"

Although Li Yan was wearing armor, he walked like the wind while walking, and quickly disappeared into the shadows. Liu Fu stomped his feet helplessly and let out a long sigh.

After Li Yan walked out of the county office, he immediately summoned 500 soldiers. Shangcai City is only a small city, and there are only more than 800 people in total. These 500 people are already the majority of the city's strength.

Five hundred people were summoned and discussed in low voices.

"What did Li County Weida call us here at night?"

"That's right, the enemy army didn't take advantage of the night to attack the city."

"Hey, County Lieutenant Li has something to say quickly, and I have to go back to sleep after I finish talking."

None of them thought Li Xianwei would be so courageous.
