Guo Jia, the ghost of the strongest military division

Chapter 883 Dilemma
"Damn!"

Guo Jia couldn't help but patted the table hard.

Just now, Guo Jia received a bad news.

Three days ago, Cao Cao took Xia Houyuan as the vanguard, made a clear detour to Bingzhou, and suddenly took a detour behind his back to attack Sheguo.

Sheguo is the west gate of Wei County, and taking down Sheguo is equivalent to opening up the passage to Ye County.

After taking down Sheguo, Cao Cao's army will be able to drive straight in and reach the city of Ye County.

Unable to defend against this blow, Xu Shu could only shrink his troops and defend Ye County.

Although Qinghe Kingdom and Bohai County have garrisons, they can't quench their thirst far away. Besides, Cao Cao came prepared and brought a lot of siege equipment. Ye County is in danger.

Once Ye County is destroyed, Yunzhou is in danger of being attacked from both sides.

Guo Jia pressed his temples with his hands.

Cao Cao must have colluded with Xu Bugu, so he took this opportunity to attack Jizhou.

Miscalculated!
Guo Jia has been focusing on Xu Bu Gu, but ignored the traitor Cao Aman.

If this traitor doesn't do something, I'm really sorry for his identity.

But then again, Guo Jia never expected that Cao Cao would collude with the Huns to deal with Yunzhou.

It seems that for the sake of profit, this later Wei Wudi didn't even want moral integrity.

Now that the troops are tight, Guo Jia can't come up with troops to support Jizhou. He can only hope that Xu Shu and Yu Jin can hold on.

At this moment, a tiger guard came to report in a panic.

"General, it's not good, the Huns have begun to attack the city?"

Xu Bugu attacked the city?

Hearing this news, Guo Jia immediately established the fact that Cao Cao had colluded with the Huns.

As soon as Cao Cao raided Jizhou there, Xu Bugu began to attack the city.If there is no collusion, no fool will believe it.

very good!

Guo Jia also held his breath.

"Hit, hit me hard!"

He was waiting for this moment.

In order to strengthen the defense of Lunu City, Guo Jia built four urns around the city and ordered Gao Shun's Polu army to guard them.

Catapults and artillery were prepared on the city wall.

Although crock bombs cannot be used on rainy days, it does not affect the bronze artillery fixed on the top of the city with a cover.

As long as the Huns dared to come up, Guo Jia would bombard them without hesitation.

General!
The man suddenly said humbly, "The Huns have captured thousands of people from somewhere and are forcing them to approach the city?"

what?
Hearing this, Guo Jia couldn't help being surprised.

"Where are the thousands of people?"

Lunu is hundreds of miles away, and Guo Jia has already ordered the people to settle down.

He intends to completely annihilate the Huns by fortifying the wall and clearing the country.

Now that everything is ready, thousands of people suddenly appear, how can this not surprise Guo Jia?

This……

The man couldn't speak.

He didn't know where the people came from.

Xi Zhong, where is Xi Zhong?

Guo Jia yelled.

He had already asked Xizhong to settle down the people, how could he let the Huns catch so many?
How did Xi Zhong become the governor?

At this time, a voice came.

"Xi Zhong has received the news and hastily rushed to the city wall."

It was Cai Yu who spoke, and she had just received the news.

go!

Guo Jia didn't even think about it, and led the people straight to the city wall.

He suddenly had an ominous premonition.

……

"General Gao, you can't do anything, these are common people!"

Xi Zhong grabbed Gao Shun's hand and pointed at the people under the city wall.

Driven by the Huns, the people approached the city one after another.

They called out the names of their relatives and children.

The Huns followed suit behind them, constantly covering up the defensive measures around Lunu City.

Seeing that he was about to come to the front of the moat.

Once they filled the moat, the Huns' cavalry could break into the city at any time.

Heavy rain continued, crossbows and firearms could not be used, and the range of the bronze cannon was too short. Gao Shun planned to use a catapult to destroy the Huns who were filling the moat, but was stopped by Xi Zhong.

Because the Huns let the people stand in front of the moat, if the Yunzhou army attacked, the people must be the first to die.

"Lord Inspector, don't be kind to women!"

A moment of hesitation appeared on Gao Shun's stern face.

Nor is he cold-blooded and heartless.

Faced with so many people, Gao Shun couldn't do it.

But if the Huns are allowed to fill in the moat, the defenders in the city will face great pressure.

"General Gao!"

Xi Zhong said sternly: "It's not the benevolence of Xi Zhong's women. I am also thinking of the general. The general has always loved the people like a son, and implemented a benevolent government for the people under his rule. If the general ordered to attack these people, the general The general's reputation will be ruined."

He paused, and said: "You know, the general's ambition is not only to be a hegemon. If this matter gets out, those scholars will not let the general go."

This……

Gao Shun was a little speechless.

What Xi Zhong said makes sense, Guo Jia will most likely become king and emperor in the future.

Calling king and emperor requires fame.

If news of the massacre of the common people spread out today, Guo Jia's reputation as a benevolent and righteous general would be completely ruined.

You must know that those scholar-bureaucrats have never been very cold towards Guo Jia.

As soon as this incident happened, Guo Jia would definitely be discredited.

but……

Gao Shun frowned.

Can't they just watch the other side attack the city just because there are people mixed in below?

If that's the case, wouldn't the crime be even greater?

Xi Zhong seemed to understand his thoughts, and immediately said: "As long as we don't attack the people, we won't give up our excuses. We can let the Huns attack without catapults and artillery, and with the strength of the army, we will be able to Those who guard the city."

In this way, the people were saved.

It was impossible for them to climb up the city. Even if the Huns climbed up, there would be soldiers from the Polu Army waiting for them.

This……

Gao Shun hesitated.

This is not impossible, but it is bound to increase the casualties of the Polu army.

"For the sake of the general's reputation, it is okay for the Polu army to sacrifice some."

Xi Zhongyu said earnestly.

"General!"

Gao Shun's generals are all ready and ready to go into battle at any time, just waiting for his order.

For the cruelty of the Huns, they already had some blood in their hearts, and they wished Gao Shun would order to do it.

Gao Shun's face was cloudy and uncertain.

As the commander of the battlefield, he was caught in a dilemma at this moment.

If we act now, we can certainly keep our advantage, but the loss of the general's reputation will have a great impact on Guo Jia's future.

If you don't do anything, the Huns will fill up the moat by default, then the cavalry of the Huns will be able to break into the city and attack the city at any time.

Once they are allowed to enter the city, the Polu army defending the city will face great pressure.

To fight or not to fight?
Gao Shun was also a little undecided.
