The Sims: The Emperor Raising Project

Chapter 45 Military Heart Available
Zhang Xun called Nan Jiyun and Lei Wanchun to the crenel, pointed to the Qianli company ten miles away, and said, "The Turks have surrounded the city of Hebei so tightly that we can't get out of the city to deliver news to the capital. We don't know what to do." How long you will stick here, so you must be mentally prepared for a protracted battle with the opponent in advance."

The two nodded approvingly, and Nan Jiyun said: "If you have something to say, just tell me, I will obey."

Zhang Xun turned around and looked towards the direction of the city. After watching silently for a long time, he sighed helplessly and said: "After more than ten days of perseverance, we have paid a great price in casualties. We will stick to this city together so that we can overcome this difficulty."

Nan Jiyun said with a little hesitation: "When I first heard that the Turks were attacking the border south, the people in Hebei city had already fled south with their families. Now there are less than [-] people in the city, and most of them are old people with limited mobility. Weak women and children, if they are sent to the city to help in the battle, they will end up worrying that instead of being our help, they will become our burden."

"No"

Zhang Xun narrowed his eyes and said with a firm attitude, "I believe that they will definitely be a great help to us."

Lei Wanchun seemed to have guessed something from it, but he still asked without giving up: "Why do you know?"

Zhang Xun and Lei Wanchun looked at each other meaningfully, then shifted their eyes to the houses in the city, and said, "Nanba, you immediately take people to demolish all the houses in the city and use them as rolling logs and rocks. to defend against the enemy."

Nan Jiyun had already guessed what Zhang Xun was thinking at this moment, he just hesitated for a while, and led a total of 300 people, pushing three ramming carts, and headed straight for the city.

Lei Wanchun struggled in his heart for a long time, so he bit the bullet and approached Zhang Xun, and said in a low voice, "My lord, those are all innocent people."

Hearing this, Zhang Xun nodded silently, then suddenly grabbed Lei Wanchun's lapel, carried him to the crenel, pointed at the people in Hedong who died tragically in the moat, and said, "How innocent are they?"

Zhang Xun held Lei Wanchun's lapel tightly with one hand, looked straight into his eyes, and said word by word: "Since there are deaths on the left and right, why not die more vigorously? , will it let the people in the city live?"

"But."

Lei Wanchun was obviously moved by Zhang Xun's persuasion, but he still couldn't turn the corner in his heart.

"Watching the people in the city go to the city to die, the general really can't bear it." Lei Wanchun sighed helplessly.

Hearing this, Zhang Xun's heart tightened, he let out a long breath, and said, "Sacrificing Hebei and preserving Daxia, this is the only thing the government can do now."

Zhang Xun clenched his fist firmly and smashed it heavily on the battlements, saying: "We must be firmly nailed here like a nail. Only in this way can we buy more time for His Majesty to prepare for the arrival of Master Wang." That day will be the time when the Turks are defeated."

Lei Wanchun breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his fists and bowed to Zhang Xun, saying: "Your Excellency is a loyal man, and we are by no means cowardly. In the end, I am willing to stick to Hebei with Your Excellency to repay Your Majesty's kindness."

Zhang Xun nodded silently, looking at Lei Wanchun with admiration.

Zhang Xun patted Lei Wanchun on the shoulder, and said: "You are injured, you can take this opportunity to take a good rest, there is still a bad battle to be fought tomorrow, then the government will have to rely on you a lot."

After Zhang Xun finished speaking, he turned and left with his saber in hand.

Looking at Zhang Xun's leaving back, and hearing the very majestic voice coming from his mouth, Lei Wanchun's eyes revealed a look of admiration unabashedly.

Zhang Xun walked slowly at the top of the city with his saber in hand. Every now and then, he swung the back of his saber and lightly slapped the defenders' legs and bodies, saying, "When resting, don't forget to sharpen your saber and scrub your armor." , We must always remain vigilant and be ready for battle at any time."

As Zhang Xun said, he walked up to a soldier who was leaning against the battlements and taking a nap, but still holding a whetstone and rubbing the tip of his gun in a daze. He laughed and nodded, Then he said to the sergeants around: "See, the soldiers should engrave the spirit of being ready for death into their bones. Only in this way can we defeat the Turkic barbarians who are a hundred times stronger than us."

Zhang Xun's words startled the dozing soldier in front of him, but he shivered violently, and immediately stood up reflexively.

The soldier looked at Zhang Xun with horror on his face, and said, "My lord, because I didn't notice for a while, I almost missed a major event. Please punish me severely, my lord."

Zhang Xun laughed and waved his hands, and said: "The battle is over, the generals have worked hard, they should rest where they are, what's the crime?"

As Zhang Xun said, he put his hand on the soldier's shoulder and sat on the ground facing him.

"How old is this year?" Zhang Xun asked.

"My lord, I am 22 this year."

"What's your name?" Zhang Xun asked.

"My lord, my humble job is called Guan Tao, but everyone calls me Er Niu."

Zhang Xun smiled and stretched out his hand to pinch Guan Tao's solid arm, saying, "Sure enough, it's as strong as a cow."

As Zhang Xun said, he stood up, and immediately announced loudly in front of the crowd: "From today onwards, Wu Guantao, who moved here, will take the post of Dubo. I hope you and others will follow Guan Tao's example, fight the enemy bravely, and make new achievements."

Hearing this, Guan Tao was dumbfounded, and sat there alone in a daze for a long time, until Zhang Xun had completely disappeared from everyone's sight, and then he gradually lost his mind due to the yelling of a group of robes swarming up. Come to yourself.

"Good boy, you have been promoted to four levels in a row, and now you are well developed."

"From now on, don't we have to call you Master Du Bo?"

"Hey, Er Niu, you are well-developed now, don't forget our old brothers."

Everyone stepped forward to express their sincere congratulations to Guan Tao, but Guan Tao solemnly bowed deeply in the direction Zhang Xun left.

Guan Tao scratched his head with a silly smile on his face, and said in a low voice, "Even if I died in battle, I can still be considered loyal to the country as an uncle, hehehe."

A veteran who was about forty years old, heard the words and quickly corrected a sentence, saying: "What kind of nonsense did you say, we all have to live well and live to see the day when the Turks retreat."

"Correct."

Guan Tao nodded repeatedly, and said: "Old Tang is right, we not only want to see the day when the Turks retreat, but we also want to follow Master Zhang all the way to the Turkic royal court and capture Guli Khan alive."

"Correct."

At this time, someone in the crowd yelled loudly: "Kill into the Turkic royal court and capture Guli Khan alive."

When everyone heard the words, they all responded loudly, saying: "Slay into the Turkic royal court and capture Guli Khan alive."

Zhang Xun, who had already walked far away, heard the words, turned his head and followed the prestige, and saw a wave of cheers and shouts suddenly coming from the front, so he nodded in satisfaction and said: "The military spirit is available."
