Han Shizu

Chapter 686 Take Jiangling Lightly 3
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to be worthy of Emperor Han!" Sun Guangxian said generously.

The friendship between the two masters and ministers always smells like "plastic".On the other side, Liang Tingsi opened his mouth, but made no sound. Judging by his expression, he seemed to want to go with Sun Guangxian.

"However!" Gao Baorong couldn't help hesitating again, and said, "Now that the Han cavalry is approaching and the soldiers are approaching the city, how can we solve this immediate worry?"

This is a heavy topic, but for this minister, it is the most pressing issue.However, Sun Guangxian seemed to be a scheming person. Since he proposed to surrender, he also had more comprehensive considerations about surrender.

Although he was equally amazed at the speed of the Han army's actions, he was not panicked. Hearing Gao Baorong's question, he said directly: "Your Majesty, you should close all the doors and guard Jiangling.

At the same time, send people out of the city to work hard and reward the army.On the way to Tokyo, the king sent another person to the central army to get in touch with the commander-in-chief Murong, saying that he wanted to surrender and offer the land, and the only way to get the emperor's order first is to open the gate of Jiangling! "

After a slight pause, Sun Guangxian continued: "Your Majesty, Murong is handsome and has a strategic strategy. He understands the general situation, takes care of the general situation, or acts as a sympathy. However, the Han cavalry who went first are eager to make contributions. I will stay behind closed doors for fear of discord and anger. General of the Han Dynasty, let Cao Bin, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, contact you in the middle, so as to reassure the army and avoid misunderstandings!"

"Okay! Mr. Sun is a good minister!" Gao Baorong felt much more at ease now.

"Report to Your Majesty, checkpoint report, thousands of court cavalry are heading south at a high speed, probably less than ten miles away from the city!" During the discussion, a city gate military academy got the news and rushed to report.

Gao Baorong couldn't sit still anymore, he got up like his butt was on fire, stretched out his hand and said anxiously: "Go to the hotel and invite Cao Bin, the envoy of the Han Dynasty!"

Then he looked around at the ministers: "Mr. Sun is going to Kaifeng. Who of you would like to visit Murong Yanzhao for Gu?"

"Let me go!" Gao Baoxu sighed, got up and said.

"The final general is willing to go together as a guard!" Liang Tingsi hurriedly said.

Gao Baorong seemed to love his brother, so he couldn't help worrying, and said to Gao Baoxu: "Your health is not good, and the safety of this trip is unpredictable."

"Brother already intends to donate the soil, and he is so sincere, how can the court do harm to him. Besides, I am going to represent the Gao family, to show my sincerity!" Gao Baoxu coughed lightly for the rest of his life, and said calmly.

Hearing this, Gao Baorong nodded.

Without waiting too long, Cao Bin was even more respectfully invited from the hotel into the lobby of the palace.Sweeping a little at the depression in the room, Cao Bin's calm eyes suddenly dawned, his expression became calmer, and he cupped his hands and said to Gao Baorong: "The last general is in the hotel. I haven't rested for a long time. I don't know why the king called me here. Could it be that we have already discussed the matter?" Okay? I don't know how to answer?"

Seeing that Cao Bin was a little ambiguous, Gao Baorong immediately said: "The imperial court wants to punish Hunan's rebellion. I, Gao, is a subject of the great Han Dynasty, and I should do my best to help. There is no need to discuss the matter of excuses! Gu then ordered that let Garrison troops at water and land checkpoints along the way, and the enlarged army must pass through without obstructing each other."

Paying attention to Cao Bin's expression, he was just calm, he didn't see much excitement, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, Gao Baorong continued: "Gu has decided to follow the Han Dynasty, and sent Zhongcheng Sun Guangxian to Tokyo to meet the emperor and discuss the matter of offering soil."
However, the iron cavalry of the great Han Dynasty is about to arrive in Jiangling. The army is majestic, and the people of Jiangling have not seen swordsmen all year round.

However, there are no acquaintances in the city, so in order to avoid misunderstanding, I have prepared some resources to reward the army, hoping that the general can go out of the city to appease him.If things can be done, there must be great thanks! "

Hearing Gao Baorong's remarks, Cao Bin basically understood his situation clearly, and also knew why the chief minister was so urgent and cramped.The color of the eyebrows did not change much, but the corners of the mouth were lightly raised, and after a little thought, he responded: "Since the king has a heart of submission, how dare the general dare to brush it away. But, if you want to go out of the city to appease the army, you need a gift!"

"General, please tell me!" Hearing this, Gao Baorong looked slightly relieved, and hurriedly said, "Whether it's gold, silver, treasures, rare treasures, as long as there are in Jiangling City, I will not hesitate!"

"The last general doesn't need any rare treasures! For the king, it's even easier to get them!" Cao Bin shook his head slightly.

"General, please speak!" Gao Baorong said.

"I heard that Zhou Ni's envoy is in the city of Jiangling. Since the king is loyal to the court, it is inappropriate to be involved with the rebels. If the news spreads, it will not be good for the king," Cao Bin said quietly.

Cao Bin didn't quite understand what he said, but Gao Baorong seemed to be enlightened, and without hesitation, he raised his hand and ordered sharply: "Come here, go and fetch the head of the Chu envoy immediately!"

Hundreds of light cavalry rode forward and rolled up a cloud of dust and smoke to the north of Jiangling City.Shi Yanchao, the deputy capital commander of the Iron Cavalry Army, took the lead in person, reined in his horse, squinted his eyes, and looked at the situation up and down the city wall.

Shi Yanchao used to work in the Guard Division Long Jiejun. After the Southern Expedition to Huainan, he was promoted to the Dianqian Division due to his meritorious service. Over the years, the senior generals of the Forbidden Army have been transferred in this way.This Southern Expedition also took a lot of effort to compete with a group of generals in order to compete for this opportunity to enlist.

Although there were only a few hundred riders who knocked on the pass first, Jiangling City looked a little helpless under the setting sun.The gate of the city was opened, and a team of chariots and horses came out slowly. The horses were loaded with rewards such as rice, noodles, wine and meat.

Cao Bin was the first to gallop over, carrying a box in his hand.Because of Guo Wei, Shi Yanchao knew Cao Bin, and when he saw him, he relaxed his guard a little.

"The last general, Cao Bin, greet the general!"

"Guohua! Who are you?" Shi Yanchao sized him up, then pointed to the rewarding army team under the city, and asked, "What does Jiangling mean?"

"The general's soldiers came forward, and his reputation shook the sky. The civil and military forces in Jiangling were terrified, and specially prepared a batch of wine and meat to reward the army. Afraid of the general's tiger power, please ask me to contact you on your behalf. I hope the cavalry can be temporarily stationed outside the city!" Cao Bin said easily. He explained to Shi Yanchao.

"Oh?" Shi Yanchao responded contemptuously, noticed the box in Cao Bin's hand, and asked, "What gift did Gao Baorong give you?"

"It's just the head of the envoy Zhou Xingfeng!" Cao Bin said.

Shi Yanchao was slightly surprised, and immediately smiled: "Okay, Cao Guohua, you must be responsible for taking Jiangling!"

Cao Bin looked like he didn't care, and asked, "Why did the general come here with only a few hundred horses?"

"I'm impatient, I'm just going ahead, the brigade is still behind and will arrive later!" Shi Yanchao replied.

Looking at Jiangling City again, and paying attention to the open city gate, Shi Yanchao subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "How is the defense of Jiangling City, can we directly break in?"

In Shi Yanchao's eyes, a cold light like a hungry wolf burst out.He has a good reputation in the Han army, he is highly skilled in martial arts and fearless of death. Although he only has a few hundred riders at this time, he has a plan to charge to Jiangling City when he sees the opportunity.

Seeing this, Cao Bin quickly shook his head and said: "There are still tens of thousands of defenders in Jiangling City, and there are navy troops to support them. They have been prepared for a long time. Even if they rush in, they will face ten times as many enemies. Besides, the general will travel twice as long. Come, the soldiers are tired and not fit for battle!"

"It's a pity!" Hearing this, Shi Yanchao frowned and couldn't help sighing.

"How about an excuse? Gao Baorong will not refuse the court!" Although it is a pity that he won the city, Shi Yanchao still cares more about the business.

Cao Bin said: "Jingnan civil and military, there are many people who are knowledgeable and reasonable. Gao Baorong already has the intention of offering soil and submitting!"

"Since that's the case, why don't you open the door to welcome the army in!" Shi Yanchao's tone was full of dissatisfaction.

"Gao Baorong wants to send envoys to Tokyo and Xiangyang to discuss this matter!" Cao Bin said in a speculative tone: "The general will speculate for a while. Gao Baorong wants to use Jiangling to obtain some preferential treatment from the court. The court has not When the decree comes, he will not dedicate the city easily!"

"The military situation is urgent, and the army is going south to Pinghuxiang for fear of not being able to make it. This Gao family has such selfish intentions to delay our army!" Shi Yanchao cursed angrily.

Cao Bin shook his head, and there was a little coldness in his divine eyes: "General Yimo will see that the general will be stationed outside the city, accept his reward, and continue to deter Jiangling. Report the situation here to the Chinese army! Thousands of cavalry, It is difficult to break through the fortified city, and when the commander-in-chief arrives, Gao Baorong cannot be controlled!"
