my wife is mulan

"Where is Pang Faqi? Come out and speak!" Ganjun Xiaoxiao shouted.

Not long after, Pang Faqi got the news and went to the top of the city tower. He looked down the city and asked loudly, "What's the matter with your army? Why bother to talk so much nonsense?"

Junior Colonel Qianjun said: "My general knows that Prefect Pang doesn't quite believe the news that Shen Qingzhi's army has been wiped out is true. I'm ordering my general to give Prefect Pang a gift! Come here, give Prefect Pang a gift." At the gate of the city, Presumably Prefect Pang won't kill a small soldier, right?"

Prefect Pang sneered, "Don't worry, I don't even have such a heart, let the gift giver just come over!" After speaking, he ordered his subordinates to put down a hanging basket.

A dry army cavalry rode his horse and ran to the city gate, put a wooden box in the hanging basket, then rode his horse and turned back to the small school.

The hanging basket was pulled up by the defenders on the tower, and a corporal took the wooden box from the hanging basket and sent it to Pang Faqi.

Pang Faqi was about to reach out to open it, when a general next to him said, "Wait a minute, the prefect. I'm worried that the Qianjun will install some kind of murderous mechanism in Li Mian. You'd better be careful! Someone, put the wooden box on the ground!"

The corporal leader immediately knelt down and put the wooden box on the city wall. Zhuang pulled out his saber and stretched over the wooden cover, only to see a human head inside the wooden box.

"Ah—" The surrounding defenders took two steps back.

"Wait!" Army Sima Liu Gun shouted, he walked slowly and squatted down to have a look, only to see that the head in the box was pickled with lime, but the appearance was still recognizable.

After Liu Gun recognized the face of the head, he exclaimed in shock: "General Liu Yuanjing?"

"What?" Pang Faqi's expression changed. He and Liu Yuanjing were not familiar with each other. The two participated in two Northern Expeditions together, and they had been together for a long time. He immediately walked over and squatted down to take a closer look. It was indeed Liu Yuanjing.

"General Liu..." Pang Faqi's eyes were red, revealing his grief.

The surrounding defenders began to discuss in a low voice, and someone said in a low voice: "Yesterday, the small Ganjun school said that Shen Qingzhi's army had been completely wiped out. General Liu served under Shen Qingzhi's command. Now that General Liu is dead, I'm afraid The army has really encountered an accident!"

"No way, General Shen Qingzhi has 1 troops under his command, and General Shen is a veteran with rich experience in leading troops, how could he be easily wiped out by the dry army?"

"How is it impossible? Liu Yuanjing's status in the army is not low. If it weren't for Shen Qingzhi's seniority, how could Liu Yuanjing be willing to be subordinate to him? Liu Yuanjing has long been qualified to stand alone. Even Liu Yuanjing is dead. The others Can you survive?"

"Although you're right, you haven't seen General Shen Qingzhi's body after all. If the army can take out Shen Qingzhi's head, it can prove that the 1 horses were really wiped out by them. Otherwise, everything may happen!"

The appearance of Liu Yuanjing's head here was a great blow to the morale of the defenders. Many people believed that Shen Qingzhi's 1 horses had been wiped out by the dry army. The news spread quickly, and the morale of the soldiers was a little unstable. .

The minds of each general and school are different, and no one knows what is thinking in someone's heart.

Liu Gun thought for a while and asked Pang Fa: "Prefect, do you still have any troops in the Qianjun brigade? There are only Qianjun cavalry outside the city, and they dare not attack the city. There is nothing important on this wall. Some generals are watching here." That's enough, if the prefect is unwell, go back to the prefect's mansion to rest, if something happens, we will send someone to report to the prefect, what do you think?"

The death of Liu Yuanjing did deal a great blow to Pang Fa. He was in a trance at this moment. Such a good possession who fought side by side in the past left him like this. He really couldn't accept it for a while, and nodded: "Alright!"

Liu Gun immediately said: "Come here, escort the prefect back to the mansion!"

After Pang Fa got up and left, Liu Gun asked several building generals to speak alone one by one, testing their attitudes towards surrendering to the army. Half of the building generals had no opinion, and they would carry out whatever orders were issued, and another quarter Most of the building will have a tendency to surrender, and the remaining one-fourth of the building will oppose surrendering to the army, and their attitude is very firm.

This made it very difficult for Liu Gun. If he wanted to raise an incident, he had to win the support of half of the soldiers and horses, otherwise the chances of winning were not great. Although Pang Faqi was just a civil servant, he was promoted to the prefect by fighting. His prestige is very high, even if Liu Gun is the commander of the army, if he bypasses Pang Faqi and gives orders, there are probably not many generals who obey his orders.

Liu Gun thought for a while, and immediately called several generals who were obviously willing to surrender to a secret discussion, and they agreed to play it by ear.

Chapter 1046 Betrayal

At noon, Pang Faqi finally recovered from his grief. He knew very well that since Liu Yuanjing, the most important general of Shen Qingzhi's subordinates, was dead, Shen Qingzhi's army had been wiped out by the Gan army in all likelihood, even if it hadn't been completely wiped out. Even if Shen Qingzhi is not dead, I am afraid that there will not be many people left under his command. Now that a large number of cadres are coming towards Jiangxia, even if Shen Qingzhi is not dead, he would not dare to come to Jiangxia again.

In this case, should he, Pang Faqi, be responsible for the task of supporting Shen Qing's army, or not?Should we continue to wait, or find a way to send someone across the river to report to Xiao Bin and ask for the next step?

I have to say that Pang Faqi's determination is far beyond that of ordinary people. With his mother, wife and children captured by the Gan army, it is impossible for ordinary people to maintain such calm and calm at the stall where his old friends died. If you were someone else, you'd be in a mess and your brain wouldn't work.

After some consideration and weighing, Pang Faqi called his son Pang Gandang: "Send someone to invite the military commander Liu Gun and the master Bo Zhuqi over here!"

Pang Gandang asked, "What's Daddy's plan?"

Pang Faqi looked at his son and said, "Weifu plans to send people out of the city to negotiate with the General Ganjun. If Weifu leads his troops to surrender, what conditions can they offer! This is to test how determined the Ganjun is to recruit us. If they really want to recruit as their father, they will definitely spare no expense in their official position and property; There is a loophole, tonight we will go out of the city to steal the camp and rescue your grandmother and mother!"

Pang Gandang was overjoyed, and said: "Since Diede has this plan, why let Liu Gun and Zhu Che know, just let the boy quietly go out of the city to meet the general of the army, and the boy can also take the opportunity to ask to see grandmother, mother and others. Brothers and sisters, see if they are safe!"

Pang Faqi shook his head, "These two have been operating in Jiangxia City for many years, and their confidantes and informants are all over the army and the government. If our army really wants to attack the enemy camp at night, or choose to surrender to the army, no matter which is impossible Avoid these two, if you hide it from them for your father, when they find out about it, they will definitely feel dissatisfied in their hearts, and it will inevitably lead to troubles!"

Pang Gandang thought for a while, "Father's worries are not unreasonable, my son will invite Liu Dang and Zhu Ji!"

Soon, Liu Gun and Zhu Ji were invited by Pang Gandang.

"The last general (lower official) has seen the Fujun, and the Fujun is safe, so I feel at ease!" The two saluted Pang Faqi.

Pang Faqi smiled and raised his hand: "I'm fine, General Liu and Master Zhu, please take your seats!"

"Thank you, Fujun!" The two saluted, and sat on the left and right sides of Pang Faqi's hands.

Pang Faqi said: "I invited the two of you here just to ask you, what do you think about whether we should stand firm and wait for reinforcements, or find a way to break through, or... surrender to the army?"

Liu Gun and Zhu Ji glanced at each other, and Zhu Ji mused for a while and cupped his hands and asked, "Fu Jun, I wonder if Marshal Xiao has any instructions for Fu Jun?"

Pang Faqi looked at the two of them, and said: "To tell the truth, the task given to this mansion by Marshal Xiao before crossing the river was to meet Shen Qingzhi's army here, but now that Liu Yuanjing is dead, I'm afraid that General Shen Qingzhi's fate may be more or less fortunate, but he didn't see it. Regarding General Shen Qingzhi's body, the government still doesn't quite believe that something has happened to General Shen!"

Zhu Ji frowned and said, "Although General Liu is dead, it doesn't prove that General Shen has also died in battle. If General Shen is dead in battle, why don't the Qianjun simply take General Shen's head? Wouldn't it hurt the morale of our army even more?" ? Let us believe that Shen Qing's army is over?"

Liu Gun couldn't help but said, "Master Zhu means that the army is confusing the public, and wants Liu Yuanjing's death to make us believe that Shen Qingzhi's army is over, so as to hit our morale, so as to achieve the purpose of making us give up resistance?"

Zhu Ji said: "It's possible, but I can't be sure! Judging from the current situation, if Xiakou doesn't send people to respond, it is basically impossible for our army to break out of the siege or cross the river alone. It may be successful; once the main force arrives, if Xiakou does not send troops across the river to reinforce it, the 3000 people in our city alone may not be able to defend it for long, and even if the opposite side sends troops across the river to reinforce it, they may not be able to get ashore!"

Pang Faqi gradually became murderous, and he asked: "According to what Zhu Zhubo said, if we can't break through the siege, we won't be able to hold on for long, so we have a way to surrender and join the army?"

Zhu Qi seemed to have sensed Pang Faqi's killing intent, and quickly said: "Your Majesty misunderstood the meaning of this official, if you want to break through, you must send someone to find a way to cross the river and report the news to Marshal Xiao, and ask him to order the dispatch The naval warships are on the river to meet them, otherwise we will not be able to leave at all, and the enemy will definitely follow and kill us!"

"If you stick to it and wait for help, please forgive me for saying that others will destroy your own prestige. Even if I wait for these people to stick to the end, the soldiers below may not have the determination and courage to fight to the end. Once urgent I'm afraid that if the army doesn't need to attack, the generals below will rebel first, and then they will tie us up and send us out of the city to claim credit for the general of the army, wouldn't we be wronged if we waited?"

Pang Faqi felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. It was a pity in his heart that these soldiers in Jiangxia City were not brought out by him personally. If he brought them out personally, he was confident that the soldiers would be with him - fight to the end!

He looked at Liu Gun, "General Liu, tell the truth to this government, how many soldiers and horses can you control the defenders, and make them really follow you?"

Liu Gun smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses in Jiangxia City were indeed brought out by the last general, but in the past few years they have been dismantled by Marshal Xiao, and there are less than [-]% of the soldiers and horses in the city that belonged to the last general." , the others are all soldiers transferred from various places, and the last general can't command at all!"

Pang Faqi's face trembled a few times, "From this point of view, I'm afraid it's really impossible to wait for help, then we only have two options left, either to surrender to the army, or to send someone to report Shen Qingzhi to Marshal Xiao. Regarding the situation of the army, I ask him to order the navy to cover us across the river! General Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Gun immediately clasped his fists together: "The last general will be the king of the house, and the first will be the first one."

Pang Faqi looked at Liu Gun, his eyes remained motionless, as if he wanted to see whether he was sincere or not, and he nodded after watching for a while: "Very good, now it seems that I have to work hard to survive. It will be used by the Gan army! If we want to send someone to report to Marshal Xiao and ask him to dispatch the navy to cover our retreat, then we must first find out whether Shen Qingzhi's army has been completely wiped out, or whether this is just a means of the Gan army, so The government has decided to send people out of the city to find the army to discuss surrender matters, doing so can kill three birds with one stone!"

Liu Gun and Zhu Ji hurriedly said: "I would like to hear the details!"

Pang Faqi was eloquent and eloquent, expressing his thoughts. As for what to do in the end, it was all in his mind.

"Your Majesty's plan is very clever. I don't know who the Majesty is planning to send to discuss with the generals of the army?" Zhu Qi asked.

Pang Fa said, "You two!"

"Huh? Xiaguan and General Liu?"

"That's right! Only the two of you can show the sincerity of the government to the general. Zhu Zhubo is in charge of negotiating with the general and at the same time testing the general to determine whether Shen Qingzhi's life and death and whether the [-] troops are really finished; And General Liu understands military matters, and you are responsible for observing the terrain, defense, sentries and patrols inside and outside the Qianjun camp!"
