Chapter 25 Descending Zhao Again
Ever since Yunfeng became the shepherd of Liangzhou, Pu Hong knew that the end of the Di clan was coming. Only by reuniting the various tribes and fighting to the death could it be possible to avoid the fate of the clan being destroyed.
He has made a lot of efforts and tried every means to persuade the tribal chiefs. Unfortunately, due to the short-sightedness of everyone and the wariness of the chiefs towards him, Pu Hong has not been able to achieve any results so far.
On this day, just when he was anxious about this, a fine craftsman galloped into the city of Shanggui without slowing down at all on the streets. He galloped all the way to Pu Hong's mansion. After being notified, he hurried to Pu Hong's mansion.
In front of Hong, out of breath, he saluted and said: "Hello... Lord, Liangzhou has sent troops to attack Qinzhou!"
"What? You...say it again!" Pu Hong picked him up in disbelief and asked sternly.
"Liangzhou has sent troops!" Xizuo repeated with a frightened complexion.
Suddenly, Pu Hong's head was spinning, and with a flick of his hand, he threw the work to the ground and remained silent for a long time.
After a long while, Pu Hong asked helplessly: "How many troops will Liangzhou send?"
Hosaku quickly got up and saluted: "Go back to my lord, there are 30,000 cavalry, 50,000 infantry, and other personnel, totaling 85,000."
In fact, 85,000 men are not many, especially in a siege. As long as Pu Hong can't defend, the 30,000 cavalry will have no effect. He only needs to face 50,000 infantry, and he Pu Hong
There are still 30,000 troops on hand that can be used to defend the city.
The problem is that Pu Hong is already scared. He would rather face Liu Yao, no! Even facing Shi Le, but he is not willing to fight Yunfeng. Although the city of Shanggui is ten miles away, the walls are four feet high and are entirely made of bluestone.
, and a large amount of food and supplies were stored in the city. It stands to reason that even a hundred thousand troops would never be able to break through the city before the food and grass were exhausted, but he still did not have the slightest confidence.
Pu Hong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He took several deep breaths before calming down a little, and shouted out: "Come here, summon the generals to the state capital to discuss matters!"
After the guards responded and left, Pu Hong walked back and forth several times with his hands behind his hands, as if thinking about something. Suddenly, a look of determination appeared on his face, and he gritted his teeth and walked out.
After about an hour, all the generals came together one after another. Pu Hong did not waste any time and directly told the news of the Liangzhou army's attack.
All the generals couldn't help but look horrified. They felt the same as Pu Hong. The word Yunfeng was equivalent to the devil.
Pu Hong glanced at it and said solemnly: "Everyone, our Di tribe is at a critical moment of life and death. The other chiefs in the tribe are completely unreliable. We can only rely on ourselves. I hope you can work together to overcome this difficulty. Let us know what you think.
Come out. I will never blame you!"
The generals looked at each other, Pu Guang cupped his hands and said: "My lord, now we only have to defend one way. Liangzhou has to go on an expedition, and the food and grass will inevitably be insufficient. We only need to hold on until the opponent's food is exhausted and retreat."
Pu Hong secretly cursed, isn't this nonsense? Who else dares to go out of the city to fight? However, at this time, he couldn't show off his anger and sighed: "I wonder if you have the confidence to hold on until the opponent's food is exhausted?"
"This...?" Pu Guang was speechless.
There was a look of hesitation on Pu Tu's face, and he said weakly: "How about... why don't we open the city and ask for surrender? Maybe we can save a ray of incense for our clan."
"Hmph~!" Pu Hong glared at him and snorted coldly: "Liangzhou and our Di tribe have always had a grudge, and this son Yunfeng is ruthless, and the 40,000 soldiers of the State of Zhao will be tricked at any time. Do you think he will be tricked?"
Will you let me wait for a way out?"
Everyone remained silent. They understood that Pu Hong was telling the truth. The hope of being able to endure the humiliation and escape was almost zero. It could be said that they were in a desperate situation.
Another general said impassionedly: "Now that the enemy has not arrived, please take your lord with you and leave the city incognito. We will stay behind to protect your lord, and we will live and die with Shanggui!"
The generals also repeatedly asked Pu Hong to leave, and expressed their determination to perish with the enemy.
Pu Hong couldn't help but be moved to tears. He knew in his heart that these generals were definitely not trying to seize his power. The situation was obvious, and those who stayed would definitely be dead ends!
"Okay, okay!" Pu Hong choked and said, "I understand what you are thinking, but at this juncture, how can I abandon my clan and escape alone? I don't need to mention this again. There is still a way to save our clan from this situation.
A catastrophe, that is, surrendering to Zhao, surrendering to Zhao again!"
"My lord, no!" Pu Guang said in shock: "Liu Yao hates my clan so much, how can he let me go?"
Pu Hong sighed and said sadly: "If there was no way out, why would we surrender to the Xiongnu again? The one Liu Yao hates is only me. If he is willing to send troops to help, I should go to Chang'an and bear the thorns to plead guilty!"
Even if our clan is enslaved by the Xiongnu, it is better than the entire clan dying. As long as our clan can survive, there will always be a chance to make a comeback in the future!"
"My lord, please think twice!" all the generals advised in unison.
Pu Hong shook his head and said: "I have made up my mind. You don't need to persuade me anymore. If you can exchange my life for a glimmer of hope for the clan, I will die in peace!" Then he shouted: "Pu Guang obeys your orders!"
Pu Guang hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and saluted: "Wei Jiang will be here!"
"If I go to Chang'an, the clan will take you as its leader and succeed you as the clan leader!"
Pu Guang trembled. To be honest, if Pu Hong had said this to him a few years ago, he would have been so happy that he couldn't sleep for several nights. But at this time, it was like Qian Jun was being pressed down by a heavy burden and he quickly declined.
Said: "I don't dare, I will help my young master from now on, and I don't dare to overstep the position of the clan leader!"
Pu Hong said kindly: "Pu Guang, don't refuse. You are mature and prudent, and there is no one in the clan who is more suitable than you. I know that this move is really embarrassing for you, but Jian'er and Xiong'er are young and should not be treated as such."
It’s such a big responsibility, I’d like to ask you for it. After saying that, I stood up and bowed deeply to Pu Guang.”
Pu Guang immediately fell to the ground in fright, kowtowed repeatedly and said: "Please don't do this, my lord. I will give you my permission."
Pu Hong glanced around with nostalgia, waved his hand and said: "I will write a letter right now and send the horse to Chang'an. Everyone is gone."
When Pu Hong made the decision to ask Liu Yao to surrender, Yunfeng had no idea. The army he led was steadily advancing towards Gui. The city of Qinzhou was similar to that of Liangzhou. Only the city was tall and solid, and the rest were
It was a small earthen city, so it encountered little effective resistance along the way.
Everywhere they passed, there was blood dripping into ice, and corpses lay everywhere. All the Di men, from the eighty-year-old old man with a white beard to the babbled babies, were all sent to see the King of Hell! Naturally, the soldiers were displeased.

The rescued Han slaves were given land and property on the spot and assigned special personnel to manage them temporarily. They were then sent back to Liangzhou to be dispersed and arranged.
Thousands of years of human history have proven that once the seeds of hatred between nations are sown, it will be extremely difficult to resolve them unless one party kills the other! Even if the weaker party bows its eyebrows and grovels, as long as there is
