Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1218 Longing for everyone to have

  Hu Chuquan was leading a few leaders under him, and immediately stood on a high place outside the city, frowning and looking at Linjin City. Even though it has been attacked for several days, the Linjin city is covered with blood and corpses everywhere, but the city is still strong, which makes Hu Chuquan very angry.

  Although the Huns are indeed not very good at attacking fortifications, that is only in comparison with the field capabilities of the Huns soldiers. If it is an ordinary town fortress, it can still be attacked.

   Originally, Huchuquan also thought that Linjin City was easy to attack.

Anyone who has been on the battlefield knows to some extent that this city is divided into several types. If it is built near mountains and rivers, even if it is smaller, it is difficult to capture, and the more it is on flat ground, there is no danger to rely on. The bigger the city, the easier it is to attack, because the bigger the city, the more gates there are, and the more points of defense. If you are not careful, you will end up breaking the city.

  However, Linjincheng repeatedly challenged Hu Chuquan's bottom line of patience.

If the four thousand sons under my command were to fight in front of the battle, even if the enemy was overwhelming, they would all rush forward roaring, so there might not be much ambiguity. After the continuous attack, even my son Lang, who was originally heroic and courageous, could not help but show a trace of decadence and two points of fear on his face.

But behind the hillside where Huchuquan is located, there are hundreds of tenants of the Zheng family, who are building siege equipment day and night, but the ones that were made before have been burned under the city, and the surrounding thick trees have long been destroyed. It was cut down completely, and had to drag some rough logs back from a distance, so the progress of the car shield car was actually very slow, and it could only make do with some small siege equipment such as ladders and shields.

  The trees in autumn are mostly withered. Although they are lighter, they are not resistant to fire. If they are slightly stained with flames, they will be considered useless. After a lot of hard work and felling back, it quickly became a burning torch under the city. This situation not only made these tenants and craftsmen of the Zheng family feel frustrated, even the Huns couldn't help shouting and cursing, if it weren't for Hu Chuquan repeatedly Emphasize that these Han craftsmen cannot be hacked and killed at will. I am afraid that some people have drawn their knives to kill people to vent their anger.

Even so, the tenants and craftsmen of the Zheng family are still in a bad situation. Whips and fists are commonplace, and there are extra gifts of morning and evening snacks and supper from time to time. work.

Zuo Fubi Guduhou looked at Linjin City, then looked back at the place where the attack tools were made, shook his head and said, "Respected King Youxian, this is not going to work, the fortress in front of us doesn't have enough equipment, so it's hard to take it down! It’s better to call that Han again, and at least some more Han soldiers should be brought over, even if it’s to drive some Han, otherwise our Erlang will be exhausted like this, after all, it’s not a solution.”

   As soon as one person speaks, the leaders of the surrounding Huns will respond one after another. In the past two days, they have known that Linjin City is powerful, and no one dares to brag about it, let alone order their own tribesmen to die under the city.

   "And we don't have enough arrows! Now the arrows in our hands are divided into one point, that is, ten or twenty arrows, which are of no use at all!"

   "Dry food, the dry material is gone. Although our horses haven't run, it takes a lot of horsepower to drag these trees back and forth. If there is no dry material to replenish, these horses will lose weight..."

"Youxian King, our son originally said that we came to this fertile land in the pass to gallop and plunder, but we didn't send it under this city for nothing. Why do we have to attack here when there are so many small stockades around? , I saw that it was all fat and oily! Anyway, you can fight if you can, and you can take it if you can, why should you listen to the words of that Han man!"

   "That is, we are experts in war, and the Han knows nothing!"

"You guys have lost a lot, so what's the use of taking the city? If we can't take down here, we'll go and clear Chang'an in Guanzhong. It's better than doing it here! Besides, even if we leave, the Han people Are you still chasing us in the wild? If that's the case, wouldn't it be better?"

  Hu Chuquan beat the palm of his hand with a horsewhip, listening with a gloomy face, without saying a word. He really didn't expect Linjincheng to resist so tenaciously.

   Isn’t Fei Qian, the general who conquered the West, dead?

  Why is the morale of the army still so strict, without any signs of disintegration as expected?

Although Hu Chuquan did not notify Yu Fuluo immediately when he went south, Hu Chuquan believed that if Yu Fuluo heard the news of Zhengxi General Fei Qian's death, he would definitely think about how to get bigger and better information. More benefits, at least get Yinshan first...

  This has nothing to do with the so-called loyalty. From another perspective, if it can fall into your own hands, it is better than falling into someone else's pocket, right?

And the piece of land in Beipingyang is considered a good fat oily land, even if it belongs to Yu Fuluo, Huchuquan will not fight for it, but the piece of land in Guanzhong that has just been conquered by Zhengxi should be divided up. Bar?

   In this way, from south to north, the people of Changshengtian can regain a large area for survival and development. Even if he didn't report it first, Yu Fuluo couldn't tell what was wrong.

   What's more, Hu Chuquan felt that he also inherited the blood of the great Modun. When he saw such a wonderful fighter, how could he wait in vain and let it go?

   But now, something seems wrong...

   Or is that **** Han Chinese surnamed Zheng lying?

  But what good is that Zheng's lying?

Hu Chuquan squinted, looked at the tenants and craftsmen of the Zheng family behind him, pondered for a moment, and suppressed his suspicion about the Zheng family. Quite a lot.

This trip to the south, after contacting the Zheng family in Guanzhong, Zheng Gan also told Hu Chuquan in detail what he knew about the actual situation of the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong. Although Zheng Gan is not good at leading troops, he also knows some basics. Common sense, at least the number of soldiers should not be wrong.

There are only 3,000 troops in Linjin City, and 1,000 of them are auxiliary soldiers. It should have been said that Huchuquan's victory over Linjin should be similar to Diaoyin and Sucheng. An embarrassing situation.

Hearing the discussion of the generals beside him, Hu Chuquan breathed heavily, but couldn't hold it back, and said angrily: "If you can't attack Linjin, can it be said that other cities must be captured?" Next? Or do you plan to go back to Gaonu over the mountains? If we don’t take Linjin, we will have no way back at any time! Even if we get a lot of things in Guanzhong, we will throw them all away! It’s hard to say Are you all willing to work hard in vain?!"

   After finishing speaking, Hu Chuquan angrily threw the whip on the ground, and stared at the leader and general beside him from left to right, and everyone did not dare to look at each other, and lowered their heads one after another.

Hu Chuquan is angry at the moment, not because of anything else, but because these people are the brave men he has always been proud of, just like the warriors under his command like Maodun back then, they can complete the grand cause of conquering the world together, but in Before a little Linjin City, he showed fear of difficulties, how could he not make Hu Chuquan resentful?

  These leaders and generals are all somewhat related to Huchuquan. They are either sworn or married. It can be said that they are both prosperous and hurt with Huchuquan.

   When he was a little embarrassed, a Hun soldier stepped forward and reported that it was Zheng Gan who had come.

  Hu Chuquan snorted coldly and said: "It's just in time!"

   Seeing Hu Chuquan's attention shifted to Zheng Gan, the surrounding leaders and generals secretly exhaled, and moved their stiff neck and shoulders.

  Zheng Gan arrived soon, and saw Hu Chuquan sitting on the horseback with his hands folded, neither saying hello nor looking here, as if he didn't see it, just staring at Linjin City in the distance. Several leaders and generals around were also sullen, each of them seemed to be owed hundreds of taels of gold, and there was an indescribably weird atmosphere around them.

Zheng Gan's smile remained the same, as if he hadn't seen anything, he laughed and said, "Youxian King! What a joyful event! Duke Yang has sent a letter! He said that the soldiers have already dispatched to Tongguan, and they will arrive soon! I heard that Youxian King has done a good job in helping the country, and I am very appreciative! And I have a word, I will play the Son of Heaven, and I will reward you according to my meritorious deeds!"

  Hu Chuquan's eyebrows trembled for a moment, and then, as if he just saw Zheng Gan, he laughed a few times and said, "Duke Zheng is here? Why didn't you send someone first..."

  Zheng Gan laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay! It's such a blessing, even if you work harder, it should be done!"

Hu Chuquan's smile couldn't help adding a hint of embarrassment, and then he covered it up in a blink of an eye, pointing to Linjin City and said: "Duke Zheng came just in time! Didn't Mr. Zheng have something to say before, there is already an ambush in Linjin City, why are there so many?" My family son Lang fought to the death, but he didn't see the person in ambush by Zheng Gong, could it be that he lied to me?"

Hu Chuquan originally just used this matter to block Zheng Gan's mouth, and also pointed out that Zheng Gan also did not do well, but he never thought that Zheng Gan raised his head to the sky and laughed twice, stroked his long beard in a leisurely manner, and said: "A certain person came here for this matter too! The right time, the right place, and the right people are all on our side. Even if some stubborn people try to block our majestic teachers, wouldn't it be ridiculous?"

   "Don't be in a hurry, Youxian King. There is news from the middle of Linjin City that the East Gate will be seized at midnight!" Zheng Gan smiled and continued, looking confident.

  Hu Chuquan was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately asked: "Is this true?!"

  Zheng Gan said proudly: "Of course!"

  Actually, before today, Zheng Gan was also in constant panic. On the one hand, there was no news of the people sent to Hongnong, and on the other hand, there was no news of the people who had ambushed in the city beforehand, which naturally made Zheng Gan restless.

But it seems that it is heaven's favor, and good things come in pairs. After Zheng Gan received Yang Biao's reply letter, he also received a message from Linjin City, saying that everything is ready, and he will wait until the third night tonight. The information is outside the west city gate. After nightfall, three piles of bonfires are lit in the shape of a Chinese character...

Maybe it's because the ambush personnel in Linjin City didn't find the right opportunity all the time, or the soldiers who marched west in the city were heavily guarded, but no matter what, now it's time to get close, and Zheng Gan naturally came to Hu Chuquan to make a statement this matter.

  In fact, after the death of Shanyu Qiangqu in the Southern Huns, the tribes of the Southern Xiongnu have become more and more powerful day by day. Even now that Yu Fuluo has established his foothold in Yinshan Mountain, in the eyes of Huchuquan, it is still very unstable.

  Hu Chuquan felt that getting too close to Zhengxi general Feiqian might not be a good thing for the Southern Huns. Even if they wanted to leave Zhengxi and start a new stove in the future, it would be very difficult. Furthermore, no matter how good the relationship with Zhengxi General Fei Qian is, it is impossible to enter the power core of Zhengxi General Feiqian's high-level discussions.

  So Hu Chuquan has been trying to persuade Yu Fuluo and Zhengxi General Fei Qian to make a clear relationship, but because Zhengxi was really powerful before, this matter has been dragging on without much progress.

This time Huchuquan led the troops to the south, on the one hand, it was also for the future of the Southern Huns, and on the other hand, it might not be necessary to say goodbye to Yu Fuluo, to show the idea of ​​who is the most suitable leader for the Southern Huns .

Right now, when Linjin City was being blocked, Zheng Gan actually brought good news. Hu Chuquan was naturally overjoyed at the moment, and he no longer put on any airs, and discussed with Zheng Gan affectionately about his arrangement for tonight. , with the appearance of hello, hello, everyone.

Zheng Gan looked at Huchuquan, who had always been a bit rebellious. When I completely kill them, I will have the effect of killing chickens and monkeys! At that time, if we break through Tongguan and join hands with Yang Gong, the rest of the counties in Guanzhong can spread the word!"

"The Youxian King can contribute to the society. The emperor is pleased, and it is very possible to make the Youxian King a Shanyu!" Naturally, we still have to rely on Huchuquan for the battle tonight, so Zheng Gan picked up some good words and continued. "At that time, if King Youxian has any wishes, he will naturally support him as much as he can...ah, hahaha..."

Hu Chuquan laughed loudly, feeling as if the depression that had been coming for several days was swept away, and suddenly felt relieved, and shouted loudly: "Come on! Send the order, and immediately rectify and rest. Gather at the beginning of the shift, and light the fire at the west gate. Break the city even more, and take Linjin tonight!"
