General Qin

"Outer yellow?"

"Master Zuo Shu wants us to capture Waihuang?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiong was taken aback for a moment, then rubbed his hands with joy, and said with a smile: "That's great, Zuo Shuzhang really thinks highly of me. He specially gave us the credit for getting Waihuang, and you and I, Zhao Tuo, will leave. It is only one step away from being promoted to the fifth doctor."

Zhao Tuo kept a straight face.

Zhao Ben reminded him, "Brother Yang, this Wai Huang is not as easy to get as Xiao Huang. I heard that Wai Huang Ling Zhang Er is the number one hero in Wai Huang, and the rangers in the surrounding counties all admire him. , there are probably hundreds of people in Zhanger hall alone. This city is not easy to attack!"

"Can't persuade you to surrender?"

Yang Xiong frowned, remembering the seriousness of the matter.

Both Waihuang and Xiaohuang are cities of the same level, with a height of three feet and a large population. If the persuasion fails, it will be difficult for a thousand Qin troops to attack by force.

He called Li Shiqi over and asked, "You drunkard, maybe you can persuade Wai Huang to surrender to Ling Zhang Er, so that Wai Huang will surrender without a fight like Xiao Huang."

Li Shiqi blinked, he had just entered the battlefield under Zhao Tuo's recommendation, and made a great contribution in persuading Xiao Huangcheng to surrender.

Therefore, being praised by Yang Xiong, he was directly promoted to two levels, and possessed the title of Shangzao of Qin State.

This made Li Shiqi very proud, thinking that he really had the talent of Su Qin and Zhang Yi, and if he was given a chance, he would be able to soar into the sky. If this situation develops according to this situation, it is not impossible for him to eat him, make him a minister, and pay homage to his prime minister in the future.

He was upright and proud, and wanted to make another contribution, but he didn't say anything, and he remembered his reputation of being so sloppy.

In the end, the clever Li Shiqi shook his head and said, "Wai Huang Ling Zhang Er, a famous scholar in Wei State. In the past, he was a guest of Lord Xinling. A chivalrous man, his reputation is not only spread in Wei, even the people of Chu and Qi have heard of his name."

"Such a person will never be as greedy and afraid of death as Xiao Huang Ling. Even if it is for the sake of fame, he will try his best to resist. Even if I have a good tongue, I'm afraid I can't convince him."

Seeing that Li Shiqi said the same words as Zhao Ben, Yang Xiong's face suddenly became bitter, and he looked at Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo narrowed his eyes slightly.

The reason why they were able to successfully persuade Xiao Huang to surrender was actually due to their calculations in advance.

Because of the cities near Chenliu, Xiaohuang and Waihuang are the strongest.

The little yellow is near, the outer yellow is far away.

Therefore, Yang Xiong asked for orders to attack the city. Judging from Huan Zhao's previous performance, he would never let him attack those weaker towns for nothing. The possibility of Yang Xiong attacking Xiao Huang is the greatest.

It's just that Li Shiqi has the certainty of persuading Xiao Huangling to surrender, so that he can win the city without a fight, and everyone will get credit for it.

Now Huan Zhao asked Yang Xiong to attack Waihuang, which is very troublesome.

"Zhang Er, he is also a famous person in the late Qin Dynasty."

"I heard that when Liu Bang was young, he hung out with Zhang Er for a while."

Zhao Tuo secretly said in his heart, trying to recall the information hidden deep in his mind.

...

Outer Yellow City.

Zhang Er sat on the couch, looking at his confidants in the room.

"Huang Gong has already left the boundary of Waihuang with his wife and Shaojun. Before the Qin army arrives, he should be able to enter Dayeze."

Zhang Er nodded. Onozawa has wide waters and complex terrain, which is most suitable for Tibetans.

Moreover, Dazedong can pass through Qi, and the south can enter Chu. If something bad happens, it is very convenient to flee to Qi or Chu.

Now the army of Qin State is suppressing the border, encircling the girders, making a gesture of engulfing the State of Wei.

With Zhang Er's eyesight, it is natural to see that the state of Wei must perish, and there is no suspense about this matter.

But everyone can escape, but Zhang Er cannot easily abandon the city and escape.

Wei Bao could abandon Chen Liu without a fight. Because Wei Bao belongs to the royal family of Wei, he can win the hearts of the people of Wei with just the blood in his body.

Xiao Huangling can surrender the whole city, because he doesn't need faith, he just wants to survive.

But Zhang Er is different.

He is a hero.

In the world, what a hero wants is a name, what he talks about is a faith and a righteousness.

Believers, promises will be fulfilled, save people in difficulty, do not avoid life and death, and promise to others must be done.

A righteous person must repay what he has, and what he takes must be given. He has received favors from others, and even if he dies, he must repay them.

The reason why Zhang Er was able to become a celebrity in the Wei Kingdom, a hero outside Huang, and his reputation spread all over the world.

In addition to the financial support from the wife's family, reputation and faith are the most important.

If he Zhang Er dared to abandon the city and run away, he would lose faith, righteousness, and reputation.

If the reputation of the hero who has been in business for many years is ruined, Zhang Er will become a stinky piece of shit on the side of the road. No one will pay attention to him, and he will even be cast aside by people from the six countries.

Such an end, for any chivalrous man, is more terrifying than dying under Qin Jun's sword.

Therefore, Zhang Er must resist.

Even if it is just to block the next wave of the Qin army's siege, everyone in the world will know that he has faith in his ears, eats Wei Lu, and repays Wei En. He is by no means a courageous person.

"How many other guests are there?"

"There are still three hundred and twelve people. This morning, two Qi people wanted to leave the city, but I beheaded them in the name of treachery. Presumably, the others should be deterred and dare not flee privately."

"Um."

After Zhang Er thought for a while, he said: "You go and let the servants kill pigs and sheep, prepare dishes, and then invite all the knights to come to my house. I will feast on the guests today."

"only."

After seeing his cronies leave, Zhang Er closed his eyes and thought carefully.

The Qin army moved eastward to occupy the key areas of Chenliu, and it is said that even Xiaohuangcheng was captured in one day.

It was only a matter of time before the Qin army marched towards Waihuang.

The population of his city defense is about the same as that of Xiao Huang. There are about 300 county soldiers who can fight. The young and strong in the city can probably recruit a thousand people, but these young and strong have basically never been on the battlefield. There is a question mark, it is impossible to be Qin Jun's opponent.

Zhang Er had to let the three hundred rangers under his sect all follow to defend the city.

Otherwise, he didn't have the confidence to resist the Qin army.

At dusk, the sun sets to the west.

The county magistrate's mansion is brightly lit, the sound of silk and bamboo is pleasing to the ears, and the graceful dance is pleasing to the eyes.

Put the wine in your ears and sing loudly, and wait until all the guests are toasting and drinking, and the wine is hot in your ears.

He stood up, holding the wine in his hand.

The singing and dancing stopped.

Zhang Er looked at the people in the hall, and sighed: "All the lords are heroes in the world, and I wish I could travel with you, like this every day, drinking and singing songs, expressing my pride. It's a pity that the Qin people are coming..."

"Ear is Wai Huang Ling, eats Wei Lu, and should repay Wei En. He will definitely guard the city and protect the people in Wai Huang, and fight hard with the Qin people. I wonder if you are willing to fight the Qin people with Er?"

As soon as these words came out, all the guests who were drinking and having fun just now were stunned and looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

But immediately someone stood up and shouted: "Zhang Jun's name as a hero is known to everyone in the six kingdoms. We came here after hearing about Zhang Jun's faith. We chivalrous men should value righteousness and despise life, and do not avoid life and death. Live in faith. I would like to guard Waihuang together with Zhang Jun, and fight bloody battle with Qin army to the end!"

"That's right, Mr. Zhang treats us with good wine and food, and the courtesy of a knight. I have heard that a man who died for his confidant, today is the time for us to repay the favor!"

Someone stood up and echoed loudly.

"In my opinion, everyone here has received Zhang Jun's kindness, and now is the time for everyone to repay each other with faith. If anyone abandons the city and leaves, it is a breach of trust and righteousness, and they are living in an ignoble existence!"

"This kind of character is the most hated by the public. If you see it, you will kill one of them. Gentlemen, there are some treacherous people among you!"

Someone pulled out his sword on the spot, said righteousness in his mouth, and scanned everyone in the hall.

Those knight-errant guests from Zhao, Chu, and Qi were stunned.

Because these chivalrous men who kept saying and clamoring for death were all Waihuang natives!

Their wives and children, their family property and goods are all in this outer Huangcheng.

Isn't it normal for you to swear to defend the city?

Why do you want to drag Naigong!

However, among those foreign guests, there were also people who valued faith, and under the stimulation of this scene, they blushed and shouted: "Everyone is right, we should swear to defend the city to the death, and never abandon the city and leave, losing faith Two words."

Someone took the lead to agree, and someone else held a sword and glanced fiercely.

In this case, those rangers who just want to come to make a living can only join in with the crowd.

One of them was a ranger in his thirties, with a high nose, long neck, and a big beard. His face turned bitter melon-colored.

"Nai Gong has just come from Pei County, and he has only eaten your food and wine for less than a month, so he will work hard for you..."

"Historical Records: Biography of Zhang Er": Zhang Er sent thousands of miles away. Nai Huan Wei is Wai Huang Ling. The name is Yixian from this.

Qin Zhi destroyed Daliang, and Zhang Er's family was yellow. When Gaozu was a commoner, he tasted the number from Zhang Eryou
