Chapter 149
When Shangdang Xu's army attacked Qi County, Shangdang Xu's envoys also went to Daling County and Jiexiu County, which were adjacent to Qi County. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
These two envoys both brought Xu Ze's handwritten letters, in which Xu Ze promised the county commanders of the two counties that as long as the two county commanders tried every means to block the stationed state and county soldiers for a moment in this battle, or helped them contact the lieutenants stationed on the side, Xu Ze would give them generous gifts. Similarly, he also vaguely proposed in the letter that if the other party helped him, if the Xu family won Taiyuan, he would not shake the positions of the two, and maybe there was a possibility of further progress.
Among the four counties adjacent to Qi County, the county orders of Wu County and Yangyi County and the generals stationed in them are all relatives of Dou Kai, and they are both prosperous and lossy with him, unless Xu Ze promises to defeat them, he also gives up the position of Taiyuan County Guard, let these people sit, and sign a guarantee, otherwise they really can't feed their greedy appetite.
Xu Ze had the intention to include Taiyuan County under his banner, so he naturally did not consider such excessive conditions, so he simply did not send people to these two counties, saving himself from guilt and humiliation. But the county orders of Daling and Jiexiu are not Dou Kai's relatives, but like Sun Jie, they have some affection for Dou Kai, but because of the other party's suspicious nature, they are said to be aggrieved and trembling, and they are alive with people's faces. It's not enough to say that they are grass on the wall, but Dou Kai's behavior for many years is not an exaggeration to say that these people are holding a breath of depression in their hearts. In this way, Xu Ze was given a chance.
The popularity accumulated over the years has made Xu Ze's credibility very high, because after getting his handwritten letter, the two county commanders weighed the pros and cons, thinking about whether to make some small moves to fulfill what Xu Ze said in the letter, and never thought that Xu Ze would break the promise.
The people of Qi County were anxiously waiting for foreign aid, but they did not know that the few cavalry in Taiyuan County were all in the hands of their governors, and the hastily mobilized state and county soldiers only had foot soldiers, no cavalry.
The other party was afraid of the cavalry of the Shangdang Xu clan, so he naturally did not dare to rescue openly, but had the idea of copying the grain road and encircling Wei to save Zhao. Xu Hui was also ready to besiege the city for reinforcements, and ordered people to guard the grain road and Jiuyun Mountain Road, while the Shangdang side was constantly sending troops over to stabilize the "rear".
The backup is weak, the strong enemy is in front, and the state of Qi County is not very good from the beginning.
The siege equipment on the side of the Shangdang Xu clan was sufficient, and there were many big victories, and the troops led by Xu Hui hoped to receive greater credit, and the people brought by Xu Pan and Xu Heng were not to be outdone, and became more and more ruthless, resulting in the beginning of the war, it was very one-sided.
However, in a quarter of an hour, the guards of the west city gate of Qi County had already asked for help twice, and the third wave of messengers who were sending them to ask for support only said that there were only a few signs of collapse of the city wall.
When Sun Jie heard this, his heart was cold: "The city wall of our Qi County, I don't know how many times it has been strengthened and expanded, how can it not be so strong?" ”
The messenger is also a small official, in the end, he is not so afraid of Sun Jie, and he is so anxious that he can hear that his face is like smearing bitter gourd juice: "The city wall is strong, and I can't help a bastard like Shangdang to control the trebuchet and smash it in the same place...... We wanted to rush to repair it, and their cavalry rushed over and fired indiscriminately...... The lord said that these guys probably want to wait for our wood to cost about the same amount of fuel before climbing the city wall......"
Speaking of which, there is still no cavalry, and if there is a mobile cavalry to restrain it, it will not be so embarrassing. But Dou Kai's upward peak, who will be allowed to control the cavalry? Even if it is Xu Ze, he will not let the command of the cavalry fall into the hands of others!
Sun Jie said that he would send someone to support, and as soon as the messenger left, he asked his companion in a low voice: "Those people ...... What's going on? ”
Beware of comprehension, he also lowered his voice: "The two masters of the Zhang family and the Shen family can still hold on, and the masters of the Shi, Liu, Li, Ye, and Yan families are like ants on the hot pot, and they can't sit still!" ”
Hearing the news, Sun Jie was not only angry, but also very calm in his heart, and gestured to his companion, saying, "What to do, you understand?" ”
Accompanied by the repeated saying yes, taking the order and leaving, Sun Jie sighed, I don't know what it feels like in my heart.
He also heard about the glorious deeds of Guan Song, who was praised by everyone for more than 20 days, but Guan Song faced the problem, how could he be half harsh? Guan Song knew that the enemy would invade, and he was ready to collect all the rolling stone and vegetable oil, what about him? There are no rolling stones, and there are not all the woods, and those who collect large families are like cutting their flesh; If you collect the people, you really won't receive much.
Guan Song dared to offend the big families in Nie County, first, the other party had little confidence in the official government, and second, Xu Hui authorized him to allow him to mess around like this, and helped him clean up the mess afterwards, and sent these big families together, and it was neat and neat, but what about himself? There are already many people in the Dou family, and they are staring at the official positions one by one, thinking that the whole county is their private property, and they can divide the interests at will. Even if he is an old friend of Dou Kai and a family of children and daughters, he has to be vigilant against the collection of the other party every day, so as not to get involved in the mess of their family......
Sun Jie listed the differences between him and Guan Song one by one, calculated and calculated, and blamed all the reasons on Dou Kai, if he acted with the same character as Xu Ze, he would not be such a treacherous, shameless villain.
Thinking like this, Sun Jie's heart felt much better, not only that, but he also felt that his betrayal of his old friend was a righteous act for heaven and a wise decision to conform to the general trend. He even swept away the gloom and uneasiness of the previous days, hummed a tune quietly, and shook his head and sighed: "Heaven is evil, it is forgivable, self-inflicted, and you can't live." ”
Everyone outside the county has different thoughts, and outside the county, the war is boiling. The ladders and the siege equipment were all moved by Xu Pan.
Driving out the people, as a precursor, is the consistent style of the generals of this era, and Xu Pan will not be much soft-hearted. Fortunately, Xu Hui repeatedly persuaded that the people in the dock fort who resisted would be driven away again, and those who surrendered directly would not move, so as to make an example of him, so as to set an example, so he did not let him arrest all the people around him and drive them away.
Rao is many people are looking forward to the wind, and there is not one out of ten who really resist the arrest, and there are nearly a thousand people combined. These people are on the top of the rolling stone and wood, which just provides an opportunity for the soldiers behind them, but Rao is so, under the attack of boiling oil and rockets, many soldiers of the Shangdang have also fallen from the ladders, rushing cars and the city, some can still wail, "poof" rushed into the moat, some directly lost their lives, and they couldn't even snort.
As time passed, the Qi County guards gradually couldn't support it, but the personnel on the Xu side of the Shangdang also lost a lot. At least those who climb the city wall can survive it is generally good, even if the brave people barely go up, they will not be able to occupy the city for a long time, and they will soon be killed or pushed down.
Xu Pan changed his usual reckless attitude, his face sank like water, even if the number of sacrifices rose again and again, he was not moved in the slightest.
He knew in his heart that the group of big families in Qi County were not heroes and righteous people at all, not to mention that Xu Hui had already told him that Sun Jie had the intention of surrendering to sincerity, but it was just because of his "reputation" and it was not easy to show it clearly.
For them, as long as they drag on for a certain amount of time, three days, or five days, they can get Qi County without much effort. Before that, it is only necessary to make a decision at all costs to Qi County, and then snipe all the reinforcements, so that these big families who are waiting and watching are desperate, and the other party will do it for them.
In the face of victory, the soldiers recruited by the thousands of displaced people sacrificed were completely free of any pressure, let alone any psychological burden.
"General...... Seems displeased? Seeing that Xu Huicai watched the siege for two days, he no longer went to supervise the battle, Su Can thought about it, and still asked, "But what's on your mind?" ”
Xu Hui shook his head lightly and said lightly: "None." ”
Seeing that she didn't want to say, Su Can didn't ask anymore, but just said as if talking to herself: "The battlefield has always been like this, either you die or I live, if more sacrifices can be exchanged for victory, as a general, I will not hesitate." ”
"I'm not sad about this matter, it's just ......" Xu Hui closed his eyes and said after a while, "Even if Mr. Su is better than Liuhou, he can't solve the difficulty in my heart." ”
As soon as Su Can heard this, he understood why she was sad - when she was the commander, even though the people below did not dare to say anything, and the whole army was faintly anxious, Xu Hui could see it. Xu Pan and Xu Heng brought people together, but before they won a battle, the whole army was like a rainbow...... Even if there is also the credit of her previous victory, but the big stone in everyone's hearts fell, and the reason was that Xu Pan and Xu Heng were men, but it made Xu Hui feel cold.
Even though she has always accepted this kind of treatment, even those who agree with her are faintly rejected in their hearts, but they have never been as profound as this time.
Xu Hui had no doubt that if the two armies faced each other and their strength was similar, her gender alone would be enough to make the army she led a little weaker.
"What does the world think of itself?" Su Can shook the feather fan lightly, not salty or indifferent, "The descendants of the surname of Anointing Liang are as stupid and stupid as pigs, and their appearance is unbearable, or as an idiot, they can also be in a high position, and others can tolerate each other except for private remarks?" ”
Xu Hui was only cold for a while, and after many years of suppressed emotion, he was a little bit of a bull's horn, and when he heard Su Can's words, he solemnly saluted Su Can, and said very sincerely: "Thank you Mr. for your teachings, Hui is grateful!" (To be continued.) )
