Chapter 317 Order a Spice

This whole night, Yu Bai didn't sleep well.

In a blur, various dreams flooded in.

He dreamed of Li Jie, and Li Jie and him scolded the pig heads in the capital, crying and complaining that the emperor was messed up, so that Great Liang fell to such a state.

He also dreamed of Shi Wei and the other generals who died in the battle, all covered in blood, yelling at him, cursing him that he dared to surrender and open the city gate, and he would never let him go if he was a ghost.

Different people express their opinions in the dream, and there are constant quarrels.

On the contrary, Yu Bai stood in the middle like a stone statue, he couldn't speak, he couldn't move, he couldn't be persuaded by left and right, he could only suffer the spittle all over his face.

When he woke up from his dream, it was already dawn.

Yu Bai hurriedly got up, put on his battle armor, and went up to the city wall.

Under the city, the old position where the Zhou people set up the formation yesterday has already formed the formation today.

The leader is an old acquaintance, Mao Gu'an.

General Mao rode his strong horse, holding a long knife, walking in front of the formation.

Seeing Yu Bo climbing the city wall, General Mao raised his voice and said, "What did General Yu do last night, why did he wake up at this hour? I have been waiting for you for a quarter of an hour."

General Mao's task is to call the formation.

He has a loud voice, full of air, and has been a border guard for so many years. He doesn't have the reserve of people in Beijing, and he can swear all kinds of foul words.

From Mao Gu'an's point of view, Yu Bai is just a dead bastard. In terms of shrinkage, that is really a thousand-year skill.

He didn't have to be afraid of scolding Yu Bai.

What he scolded was originally scolded for the soldiers defending the city.

"General Li's persuasion letter, did you write it in your heart?" Mao Gu'an asked, "I can't sleep all night? You must take it easy. Before you hand it in, you will be listless. How can you do that!"

Yu Bai frowned.

"Otherwise, if you come down, we will fight one-on-one," Mao Gu'an continued to shout, "you can't beat me anyway, and the defeat is reasonable, so you can open the city gate and surrender, and no one can blame you. You can't beat me You just can't beat it, can you?"

After General Mao shouted, he waved his hand.

Behind him, the soldiers of Dazhou shouted in unison: "One-on-one! One-on-one!"

The sound was deafening.

Yu Bai couldn't help turning blue.

He doesn't care about just calling for formation, he calls it whatever he likes.

However, what Mao Gu'an opened and closed was "surrender", using Li Jie's persuasion letter as a sharp sword to shake people's hearts.

Yu Bai glanced at the surrounding situation.

The defenders of the city are all elites, but their expressions are not firm.

Also.

Even a general like him can't sleep well with worry, let alone the soldiers.

Yu Bai ordered: "Don't worry about him, the Zhou people also know that Xizhou is difficult to attack, so they will use these methods. I want to see if they can shout for a few days."

After trying his best to boost his morale, Yu Bai got down from the city wall.

Summoning his lieutenants, Yu Bai asked, "How long can the food and grass in the city last?"

One person replied: "January and a half is not a problem."

"After one and a half months, reinforcements should arrive." Yu Bai said.

The lieutenants exchanged a glance.

"General," one person said, "you don't need to encourage us, will the reinforcements really arrive?"

Yu Bai opened his mouth and finally let out a sigh.

The man asked again, "What did General Li Jie write in his letter?"

"Persuading me to surrender," Yu Bai did not continue to hide, "Li Jie sincerely persuaded me to surrender in Kaesong."

This answer was expected by the lieutenants, and it was precisely this possibility that they did not disturb Yu Bai last night.

"Then you want to surrender?"

Yu Bai patted them heavily on the shoulders: "The emperor handed over Xizhou City to us and surrendered without a fight. I don't have the face."

The lieutenants also knew Yu Bai's temper, and said: "Then keep it."

Keep it until, when you can't keep it.

When Yu Bai left, a lieutenant said with red eyes, "But, the emperor has already given up on us and Xizhou."

Such an important city, the imperial court has no intention of saving it!
No wonder General Li Jie persuaded him to surrender.

General Li experienced the Battle of Yushakou and saw General Su's defeat. He must have a better understanding of what Jingli was thinking.

It's so heartbreaking that...

Outside the city, General Mao kept shouting until the afternoon, shouting so loudly that he cursed "the son of a bitch".

Seeing that it was getting dark, he ordered to withdraw his troops.

Back at the station, Mao Gu'an and the generals laughed together: "I can take a rest tomorrow."

According to his idea, when these people change every day and shout for a round, and when Mao Gu'an comes along again, Yu Bai should let go of his mouth.

Even if Yu Bai doesn't loosen it, the soldiers under his command will.

After all, they were just calling for formations, not besieging the city at all, and the Xiliang court didn't send troops or food, so who wouldn't be chilled?
The common people are watching it.

On the second day, it was Qin Wei who was going to fight.

Seeing that Mao Gu'an's voice was hoarse, Qin Wei had a thought, and asked, "Aluan, do you have a talisman that can protect your throat?"

Qin Luan stood in front of the map and looked at it very seriously. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Are you afraid that you won't be able to call General Mao?"

"He's always going strong." Qin Wei said, laughing himself.

Qin Luan walked to the case, opened the ebony box, and took a piece of talisman paper.

"You put it in your collar tomorrow," Qin Luan said, and took another one, "You give it to General Mao, let him take it easy?"

Qin Wei took it all together, and went out to look for Mao Gu'an without hiding anything.

General Mao was drinking water in the tent, and the full water bladder was poured into his mouth with a gurgle, and the clear water entered his throat, and he finally felt more comfortable.

Seeing Qin Wei handing over a piece of talisman, General Mao was quite puzzled.

Qin Wei said: "Put it in the collar, A Luan said it will be more comfortable."

Of course General Mao had heard of the supernatural power of the Gale Talisman, although he was skeptical at first, but he believed it a little bit because the soldiers played it so miraculously.

Now, it's his turn to wait for good things.

Anyway, just put it away, it's not painful, just try it.

"Girl is good, I know I love my father," General Mao said, "If I knew I would let you go first, she would have taken it out."

Qin Wei laughed out loud.

Praising his daughter would make him happier than praising him.

Early the next morning, Qin Wei led his troops to call for battle, and returned at sunset.

Qin Luan poured a cup of tea for his father and asked, "How is the situation today?"

"As usual, they can still bear it. It seems that it will take some time, so continue to exert pressure," Qin Wei said, seeing Qin Luan thoughtful, he asked, "What's your idea?"

Qin Luan asked Qin Wei to go to the map, pointing to a place, and said: "North of Xizhou City, this area is higher than the city."

Qin Wei frowned.

It is indeed quite high, a section higher than the city wall.

But the terrain is very uneven, and there is a distance, let alone smashing stones, even if you draw a longbow at full strength, you can't shoot into the city by virtue of the terrain.

"The only thing that can pass, other than birds, is the wind." Qin Wei said.

Qin Luan smiled and nodded: "The wind is enough."

Qin Wei was surprised: "What are you going to do?"

"Order a spice." Qin Luan said.

Qin Wei raised a question mark.

Fighting, but also incense?
　See you tomorrow~
