Turbulent Times Chapter 1361: Nie Xiaoyu suddenly appeared
(In the previous chapters, Zhang Jike and Jing Tian were confused, and now it has been corrected after a reader left a message. I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused to everyone.)
Zhang Jike returned to his residence, took out a letter from his underwear, read it carefully, took a deep breath, felt shocked, burned the letter, and ordered his followers to pack up.
He received this letter half a month ago. It was Wang Junlin's personal letter. Half a month ago, Wang Junlin had already predicted that Yang Guang would be surrounded by the Turks, and even sent envoys to negotiate with the Turks. It was predicted, and Jing Jike was also ordered by Wang Junlin to come forward to be the emissary of Yang Guang's narrow escape.
Looking at the letter being burned to ashes, Zhang Jike turned around slowly, but suddenly his pupils shrank, and he almost didn't cry out.
Because at some point, there was a woman standing behind him, a woman with a cold expression and no expression, but extremely beautiful.
Zhang Jike is Wang Junlin's confidant, so of course he knew who this woman was, he quickly bowed and saluted after being horrified, "It turns out that it was Miss Xiao Yu who came here, and my subordinates were really surprised."
Of course he was surprised, now that the gate of the Wild Goose City is closed, surrounded by 400,000 Turkic troops outside the city, how did the other party get in, and it's clear that it didn't alarm anyone.
Although Zhang Jike knew that this little Yu girl had great powers and had too many magical abilities, he was still shaken at this moment and couldn't help himself, because it was really incredible, or too incomprehensible.
As if knowing Zhang Jike's doubts, Nie Xiaoyu said lightly: "I was already in Yang Guang's inspection team half a month ago."
Zhang Jike suddenly realized, took a deep breath, and quickly asked: "I wonder what the prince's plan is?"
Nie Xiaoyu said: "The plan is that you take me to the Turkic camp and give me to the Turkic Khan."
Zhang Jike was stunned for a moment, but Nie Xiaoyu looked at him without the slightest emotion, which made him feel terrified. He didn't dare to ask more about this matter. When will it arrive?"
Nie Xiaoyu said: "I have brought 20,000 soldiers and horses, and I will arrive the day after tomorrow."
"What, there are only 20,000 horses, how can this deal with the Turks forty?
Thousands of people. Zhang Jike was taken aback, his expression changed.
"Twenty thousand people are enough, any more would be a waste of food." Nie Xiaoyu replied blankly.
What else can Zhang Jike say! If it was someone else, he would definitely feel that he was joking, but King Qin An is a person who has been creating miracles all the time. There must be a reason why he only led 20,000 horses. Presumably there must be other tricks to deal with the 400,000 Turkic cavalry!
Consoling himself, Zhang Jike packed up his things and went out with four guards, one of which was naturally dressed up by Nie Xiaoyu.
It's just that he met Yu Shiji who was waiting here before leaving the city gate.
With a flash of Zhang Jike's eyes, he got off his horse, came to Yu Shiji, bowed his hands and said, "Master Yu is waiting for his appointment."
Yu Shiji deliberately waved back his followers, walked a few steps closer, bowed his hands in return with a complicated expression, and said in a low voice: "Master Zhang, what is the prince's plan for the current situation?"
"The lower officials don't understand what Master Yu said." Zhang Jike looked cold and said in a low voice. His relationship with Wang Junlin, the latter will never leak to Yu Shiji, and the connection between him and Wang Junlin has always been secret, and it is impossible for Yu Shiji to know, but Yu Shiji is extremely intelligent, good at observing words and expressions, and digging out some truths through details It is not impossible for this person to deduce from his words and deeds that he is the person of King Qin An.
Yu Shiji shook his head, he was actually just suspicious, it was just a test, and Zhang Jike's instinctive whisper to him could actually explain a lot of things, he smiled slightly: "In that case, Mr. Zhang, please take care."
Zhang Jike's face suddenly changed slightly, because he also realized that Yu Shiji was probing. The act of lowering his voice just now might be seen by Yu Shiji, an old fox. He hesitated a little and said: "Master Yu, don't worry , you and His Majesty the Emperor will be fine."
After speaking, Zhang Jike cleaned up his clothes, straightened his waist, and headed towards the city gate. The city gate opened slowly, and the soldiers and people near the city gate silently looked at their backs. , Going to the Turkic camp...
In the Turkic camp, Han artisans brought from Yulin County and Mayi County were forced to build siege equipment day and night, although Liu Wu had been asked before
Zhou He's subordinates who occupied the five counties of Yulin County prepared a lot in advance, but the siege equipment was consumed too quickly, and nearly half of the siege equipment was consumed in half a day today.
Moreover, it takes a long time to manufacture large-scale siege weapons such as ladders, battering rams, and nest vehicles, and it cannot be built in half a day. They didn't have so much time to prepare. At this time, they still felled trees and made simple siege ladders.
Sibi Khan is in his prime, ambitious and energetic. At this time, he was riding a horse to inspect the combat readiness in the camp. He thought that the Turks were not good at siege. Although he had prepared siege equipment in advance, he also did it. In order to consume the Sui army in the city to a certain extent, prepare to break the city after the opponent's army collapses. After all, there is an emperor in the wild goose city. Shibi Khan thinks differently. If he is in a desperate situation, his army will not fight to the death. Protection, the morale of the Sui army must have been very high, but after today's fight, he found that the actual situation was different from what he imagined, and it was quite different.
Even the first attack today almost broke the city, which surprised Shibi Khan. Although he didn't quite understand why the emperor of the Sui Kingdom led the forbidden army to be inferior to ordinary frontier soldiers, he still found that Considering the weakness of the Sui army, their morale was low and their combat power was weak. If the Sui army remained in the state it is today, as long as he fully mobilized the army to attack the city swiftly, he believed that Yanmen City would be breached within three to five days at the most.
Thinking that Sui Emperor Yang Guang would kneel in front of him, crying and begging for mercy, Shibi Khan trembled with excitement. The Turks have always been a vassal state of the Sui Dynasty. It was a shame, and Emperor Sui also sent people to separate their brothers, wanting their brothers to kill each other, which made him hate Yang Guang again, so he must capture Yang Guang alive this time.
At this time, a general came to report: "Report to Khan, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty sent an envoy."
"Oh! The emperor of the Sui Dynasty sent an envoy. Who is it? It can't be that damned old thief Pei Shiju!"
The general knew that Khan hated Pei Shiju, who came to the grassland to separate their brothers last year, and said with a smile, "Khan, it's not Pei Shiju, and anyone with the surname Pei would know that if he came, Khan would chop him up Hey wolf, so I didn’t dare to come, this time it’s a Sui Dynasty official named Zhang Jike!”
