Chapter 350: The Scholar's Proudness (2)
Ten thousand horses gallop and dust fly.
Far away, the figures of 50,000 remnants appeared outside Cangzhou City.
Looking at the closed city gate, Maodun suppressed his anger and said angrily: "What a bold Zeng Zhihong, I will destroy his nine clans."
Hami Tsui's face was also not good-looking, and he hesitated: "Since Zeng Zhihong has done such a careless thing, his only way to live is to leave with us, so how could he rebel again?"
"Shanyu, wait for the Weichen to go and see." Kuobaying said softly: "Maybe, the garrison in this city has been changed."
The reason they remember Zeng Zhihong was because he was the most thorough among all the Han people who surrendered to the Huns.
Not only that, this person's talent is also very impressive. Under his governance, the two states were the two most stable states.
Although Zeng Zhihong's actions made them despise, they were most at ease with him because of this.
Therefore, Kuobaying couldn't help but wonder if anyone had replaced him.
Maodun looked back at the exhausted army, sighed, and said, "It's good to go and see."
Hami's face turned dark, and they had no choice but to do so.
When 50,000 people marched, the food, supplies, medicines needed were not a small amount.
If they wanted to maintain the army, they no longer cared about the Han people's good deeds along the way.
It is like a group of locusts, wherever they pass, it is a deserted place.
But the things that were robbed were a drop in the bucket for the nearly 50,000 army, and were far from enough.
Cangzhou City is the largest nearby city, and only here can we collect all the supplies needed to provide 50,000 people.
So even though Maodun and others knew it was not good, they still had a glimmer of hope.
As long as the city gate can be opened and the troops enter the city, that is enough.
"Where is Lord Zeng..." Kuo pulled the eagle and rode his horse to approach the city wall. He looked at the crowd standing above the city and shouted loudly.
"I am here."
On the wall of the gate, several people separated to the two sides, revealing Zeng Zhihong in the middle.
"Mr. Zeng?"
Kuobaying had never seen this person before, and he was quite suspicious and asked.
"Yes, it's Zeng Zhihong. Who is the one who came?"
"I will go to Baying, Lord Zeng, please open the city gate."
"Open the city gate?" Zeng Zhihong laughed and said, "Why do you need to open the city gate? Could it be that you want to wait for you to come in?"
Although Kuobaying was extremely angry, he smiled on his face: "Mr. Zeng, do you think Xu Haifeng will let you go?"
"You don't have to worry about whether Commander Xu let me go. However, I have a private gift that I want to ask the general to bring to Maodun Shanyu."
After saying that, Zeng Zhihong waved his hand.
An archer beside him immediately rolled the arrow and shot it out.
The arrow was not fast, and it fell several meters in front of Kuobaying.
A package is tied on the arrow branch, square, and you can tell that just by looking at the shape, there is a box inside.
Kuobaying didn't get off the horse, and he stretched out his hand to fuck him, and he was already in his hand with a silver spear.
He picked the tip of his gun and lit it on the package, then picked it into the air and landed it in his hand.
After untiing the package, his face changed slightly, and he was not unfamiliar with the size of this thing.
Although he didn't see it, he could already guess what was inside.
How could this thing be brought to Maodun Shanyu?
He opened the box and found a head that had been processed by nitrogen.
"This is the garrison general who was the noble who borrowed it in Cangzhou. I will return it to you today. Haha..."
Zeng Zhihong laughed loudly, with an indescribable refreshing smell. After a while, he stopped the laughter and shouted: "Since General Kuoba is here, why don't you bring some gifts back?"
He waved his hand and said, "Come, come, bow and arrow."
On the top of the city, everyone agreed in unison. Suddenly, thousands of bows were pulled open at the same time and flew towards the Kuoba eagle like raindrops.
Kuobaying was so angry that smoke came from his seven orifices, but he knew that this was definitely not the time to show off his blood and courage.
He is not a master, and if he is at the same time as thousands of arrows, he will probably be unavoidable.
Just as Zeng Zhihong stopped laughing, he immediately realized the danger, turned his head first, and fled back to his original formation.
Zeng Zhihong looked at his back from afar, and felt a pity in his heart. This person saw the opportunity very quickly.
Maodun and others saw the situation ahead from afar. Without waiting for Kuobaying's response, they guessed it almost the same.
"Tell the whole army to attack the city." Maodun said with anger and fierce command.
Even a small Cangzhou City has been putting in trouble.
The generals next to them were all worried. This was definitely not the time to attack, but Maodun was obviously angry. Whoever persuaded him was afraid that the bad luck would fall on his head.
"Shanyu, no..."
Hami Tsuke hurriedly dissuaded, I'm afraid that he is the only one who has the qualifications here.
Facing Maodun's angrily gaze, Hami said, "There are strong cities in front and pursuers behind. We have insufficient food and grass, low morale, and we cannot start a war."
Maodun was stunned, sighed deeply, and stopped talking.
He naturally understood this truth very well. If Maodun, who was a general in command of the army, did not even know this common sense, he would not be qualified to inherit the position of Shanyu.
However, in the twenty years since he ascended the throne, few people have been openly disobeying his words.
How could Zeng Zhihong not take him seriously if he doesn't take him seriously?
But he was still a hero who knew how to advance and retreat. After pondering for a while, he finally said unwillingly: "Jump around the city and walk..."
He rode his horse for a few steps, suddenly turned his horse back, murmured at Zeng Zhihong on the city wall, "Look, what will happen to you?"
The fierce horse neighed, and the army was full of strength.
The same endless army lined up in front of Cangzhou City.
Above the central camp of this army, there was a blood-colored banner of the Black Flag Army.
On the top of the city, Zeng Zhihong looked dull. He said to a young man beside him: "Kewei, have you remembered what you explained to your father?"
Zeng Kewei raised his head and focused on it under the old father's gaze. There was a deep attachment in his eyes, which was a kind of reluctance to the inseparable family affection.
After understanding the meaning of Zeng Kewei's eyes, Zeng Zhihong sighed softly, patted his eldest son on the shoulder and said, "Kewei, the Zeng family will depend on you in the future. Don't let your father down."
Choked and unable to say anything, Zeng Kewei just nodded heavily.
The city gate opened wide, and a cavalry slowly rushed out, heading towards the Black Flag Army camp.
"It's him..."
Xu Haifeng exclaimed unexpectedly.
Lin Jiahui beside him responded with a sermon: "Lord, do you recognize him?"
"He is Zeng Zhihong, the governor of Cangzhou City."
"It's this beast..." Li Guanying suddenly got angry and rushed forward. He held the knife handle in his hand tightly and was about to rush forward.
"General Liu, what are you going to do?"
An unhappy tone reached his ears, and Li Guanying barely held the reins, and he looked back, "Lord, this man rebels the enemy at the time of battle and kills loyal and kind-hearted descendants. How can such people stay?"
"I know, but I have already said that anyone who abandons darkness and turns to light will not blame him."
Li Guanying shook the reins hard. Although he was indignant at this time, he no longer had the intention of going against Xu Haifeng.
"Mr. Zeng..." Xu Haifeng stepped forward to greet him.
"General Xu, I really didn't expect that you would be the one who took over the city."
"Yes, I haven't seen each other for many years, but unfortunately... General Chen Xinhong and General Chen are no longer here." Xu Haifeng said lightly.
However, what surprised him was that there was no fluctuation on Zeng Zhihong's face, his eyes were clear and his mind was even more open-minded.
Zeng Zhihong clasped his fists slightly and said, "Commander Xu, Cangzhou City has already opened, so please accept it."
He laughed, his eyes swept across the faces of everyone, and looked at the neat queue. He seemed to let go of one thing and turned around and slapped away.
In the backyard of Zeng Mansion, there was an inconspicuous cottage. Zeng Zhihong stepped in with a pot of turbid wine.
In the cottage, there is only one spirit table and one chair.
On the spirit table, there are two tablets.
Zeng Zhihong stepped forward, gently stroked one of them, and sighed: "Brother Chen, brother Chen, we finally won."
He raised his head, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes: "Xu Haifeng, okay... He is always a Han man. As long as he is a Han man, it will be done."
To be continued...
