Chapter 681

Zhang Xiu sits in Wangshan and takes Wangshan as a stronghold, quietly waiting for the news from the sentinel. Two days later, Zhang Xiu got the news that there were 6000 elite soldiers coming to Wangshan in Linxiang county.

The leader of the army was the captain of Changsha County.

The six thousand troops of Linxiang county were put together by the captains of Changsha County. The captain of Changsha County intends to rescue Han Xuan, but Zhang Xiu directly sends a large army to defeat the rescue forces.

After the defeat of the commander of Changsha County, he did not dare to come back, so he went straight back.

Zhang Xiu still returned to Wangshan and waited quietly, waiting for the news from Wuling county.

In late November, the news that Han Xuan was trapped in Wangshan finally reached Linyuan County of Wuling county. The sentry sent by Han Xuan sees Jin Xuan and hands over the letter written by Han Xuan.

In Han Xuan's letter, he wrote about how he was ambushed, how he failed to break through the encirclement, and how he asked for help. All things are written in the letter. Let Jin Xuan and others send troops as soon as possible to help Han Xuan.

When Jin Xuan got the news, he summoned everyone, Gong Zhi, Zhao fan and Liu Du, and gathered in the hall of the prefecture.

Jin Xuan said in a deep voice: "Han Xuan led his troops to Changsha County. In Linxiang County, he was ambushed by Zhang Xiu. Today, Han Xuan is trapped in Wangshan in Linxiang county. Now, he's sending for help. "

When Gong Zhi heard this, he couldn't wait to say, "Lord, didn't you ask shamoko to send troops? More than ten thousand elites under shamoko's command, together with Han Xuan's troops, make up thirty thousand people. Isn't it against Zhang Xiu? "

"No

Jin Xuan shook his head and answered.

Gong Zhi said again, "what's the matter?"

Jin Xuan gave a general description of the details, the losses of Han Xuan and Sha Moke, and the failure of breaking through the siege. Finally, he said, "Han Xuan retreated to Wangshan. We can't advance and retreat. Let's go to the rescue. What do you say about this?"

Zhao Fan said in a deep voice: "in my opinion, Zhang Xiu defeated Han Xuan and even shamoko at that time. With Zhang Xiu's strength, I'm afraid it's not impossible to attack Wangshan and completely wipe out Han Xuan. "

"The reason why Zhang Xiu didn't do that and why she trapped Han Xuan in Wangshan was to surround the site and wait for our soldiers to go to Wangshan for rescue."

"Before that, Zhang Xiu attacked Changsha County, making Han Xuan come back to help, and Han Xuan ambushed."

"Now, we go to Changsha county again. Maybe it's the ambush of Zhang Xiu."

"I don't recommend sending troops," Zhao said

Liu Du nodded and echoed: "my opinion is the same as that of Zhao Taishou. Once we rush to Changsha County, I'm afraid it's not suitable. Even, I think Zhang Xiu will not only gather around to fight for help, but more likely to attack the West and the East again. "

"Just as the former governor of Jin said, Zhang Xiu suddenly came to Linyuan county? At that time, the situation will be even worse. So I think we should stick to Wuling county. "

Liu Du said: "I don't think Han Xuan can be concerned about this war."

Both Zhao fan and Liu Du chose to protect themselves. At the critical moment, they chose to abandon Han Xuan.

Jin Xuan turned his eyes and said, "but our four counties have made an agreement to keep watch and help each other. At this time, regardless of Han Xuan, it's a bit out of the ordinary. "

Liu Du said, "there is no way."

Zhao fan nodded in agreement.

The look on Jin Xuan's face is thoughtful. Even if Liu Du and Zhao fan insist, Jin Xuan's opposition may affect their alliance.

It's hard to make a decision for a while.

His eyes fell on Gong Zhi and cast a searching look.

Gong Zhi shook his robe and stood still, then said: "Lord, Zhao Taishou, Liu Taishou, I think it's inappropriate to ignore Han Xuan's life and death. At least, there are four bad effects. "

Zhao Fan said: "but it doesn't hurt to say so!"

Liu Du also said, "tell me!"

Jin Xuan stroked his beard and waited for Gong Zhi to open his mouth.

Gong Zhi said: "first, it's very simple. It's the influence of reputation."

"As the LORD said just now, it is well known that Wuling, Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang counties are united to keep watch and help each other. Han Xuan turned to us for help. Wuling, Lingling and Guiyang let them go. What do people think of them? I'm afraid the scholars in the world will despise you. "

"Second, it will lead to internal strife."

"Now the unanimous order is not to send troops to rescue Han Xuan. After the fall of Han Xuan, Zhang Xiu will not attack Wuling County next time, but will go to attack Guiyang County or Lingling county. "

"I don't know. Will the three still work together? With Han Xuan's lessons, I'm afraid they will be suspicious of each other and sweep the snow in front of the door. Then the alliance will break up. "

Gong Zhi talks about it. His first reason is that Jin Xuan and others look normal. When Gong Zhi's second reason came out, the expressions on all his faces changed slightly, and they looked at each other.

Jin Xuan agrees with Gong Zhi's analysis.From the bottom of his heart, he hopes to go to the rescue of Han Xuan, because without Han Xuan, the other three counties may eventually be unable to support themselves.

"What about the third?" Jin Xuan asked

Gong Zhi continued: "third, if we don't let Han Xuan be saved, Zhang Xiu will easily seize the whole Changsha County. Of course, according to Liu Taishou, in case Zhang Xiu is killed here on our way to rescue, how can we resist then? "

"I'm willing to stay in Linyuan county. After my lord left, as long as he didn't return to Linyuan County, I would not open the gate. In this way, we can guard Linyuan county and ensure the safety of Wuling county. "

Gong Zhi said: "the four counties in Jingnan are a whole. The loss of Changsha county is the prelude to the fall of the four counties. "

"Fourth, if we don't save Han Xuan, we are weakening our strength. Although the forces of Han Xuan and shamoko have been weakened. But shamoko can recruit more barbarians, and Han Xuan can recruit more soldiers. "

"If we don't rescue, we are giving up the forces of Changsha County."

"In particular, if we do not rescue, we can imagine shamoko's anger. He withdrew from Linxiang county. Once he returned to Wuling County, he would be angry with us. "

"At that time, like Zhang Xiu, shamoke will attack Wuling county and weaken our strength."

Gong Zhi said with four reasons, folded his hands, arched his hands and said: "the above is my worry. Please think twice. Today's situation, because of the benevolence of a thought, may keep Jingnan four counties. It may also be that all the troops will be destroyed in a moment. "

Hoo!!

Hearing Gong Zhi's eloquence, Jin Xuan breathed a sigh and said with admiration, "if you don't, I will go astray."

Zhao fan also said: "in this way, we really want to rescue Han Xuan."

Liu Du stared at Gong Zhi and said, "Mr. Gong, as you said just now, in order to ensure the safety of the rear area, you must be in Linyuan county. Even if Zhang xiusha comes, he can't open the gate. "

Gong Zhi looked confident and said: "in fact, there is no danger in Linyuan county. The reason is very simple. After continuous fighting, Zhang Xiu has damaged quite a number of soldiers. "

"Linyuan County, as the seat of Wuling County, has a tall city and a strong wall. Zhang Xiu is just more than ten thousand soldiers. It's almost impossible to conquer Linyuan county. "

"As long as I'm in the city, I don't open the gate, and no one is allowed to enter. No matter how clever Zhang Xiu is, no matter how powerful Zhang Xiu is, it's impossible to enter."

Gong Zhi is very determined.

Jin Xuan nodded his head and said, "that's true!"

Liu Du said: "if so, send troops. This time, I'll be a soldier. "

Zhao fan also said: "I also mobilized all the soldiers under my command to fight."

When Gong Zhi heard that the three had reached a consensus, he put on an intriguing smile and returned to his seat.
