Chapter 140, Battle of Xi'an 3

Zhang Yi said: "Before my Qin army uprising, I was stationed in Huayin for a period of time, at that time Sun Chuanting was the commander of Huayin County, very alert, if he had been there, my Qin army would have a lot of trouble, so my king ordered, assassinated Sun Chuanting, the warriors sent almost succeeded, shot Sun Chuanting into a serious injury, ten out of ten died, and he survived, Rao is so, after our army attacked and occupied Huayin City, I knew that Sun Chuanting had fled to Xi'an as early as the day before, and my king sent cavalry to chase after him, But he escaped with the method of killing sheep on the wrong path. Just imagine, Sun Chuanting just lay in the car, arranged the arrangements casually, and escaped the pursuit, isn't such a person terrifying? ”

Lu Xiangsheng nodded again and again: "In this way, this Sun Chuanting is a character." ”

Zhang Yi said: "As long as the adults transfer him to his side and entrust him with important tasks, I think Sun Chuanting will definitely live up to his expectations and exterminate the group of thieves." ”

Lu Xiangsheng stood up: "Thank you, sir, I will write the table and play it in the court." ”

Zhang Yi was escorted back to his residence, and on the way, he smiled secretly in his heart: Lu Xiangsheng, you would never have dreamed of it, this is just a plan by me Zhang Yi.

Indeed, Zhang Yi's plan can be regarded as a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, he knows Sun Chuanting's ability, if he has been in Shaanxi, then the development of the Qin army will encounter great difficulties, and now he will transfer Sun Chuanting out of Shaanxi, and the pressure on the Qin army will be much less.

Zhang Yi's idea is very correct, Sun Chuanting is different from Zuo Liangyu and Cao Wenzhao, these two are just generals, personally leading warriors, charging into battle, it is undoubtedly a temporary choice, but what Sun Chuanting has is handsome.

Sun Chuanting's vision and knowledge are far above these two, not even lower than Hong Chengchou, I heard that he has a good relationship with Hong Chengchou, a bit like the relationship between master and apprentice, and Hong Chengchou is not jealous of others, under Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting will definitely get ahead soon. At that time, Hong Chengchou was the right and Sun Chuanting was the deputy, and the Qin army in Shaanxi had no place to stand.

At present, if Sun Chuanting is transferred to Henan to fight Gao Yingxiang, whether he can fight or not, the Qin army will have one less strong opponent. Moreover, Gao Yingxiang is the most powerful among the thieves, if he develops, it will also be unfavorable to the Qin army. Zhang Yi is the most powerful person in the official army, to fight the most powerful person in the anti-thief, the two tigers fight, there will be an injury, Zhang Yi believes that no matter who dies and who is injured, the ultimate benefit must be the Qin army.

is so powerful, to put it mildly, within three words, it will change the pattern of the world.

In fact, his words did change the pattern.

Lu Xiangsheng wrote a watch overnight and sent someone to expedite 600 miles and send it to the court. Sure enough, within three days, a holy decree was issued, agreeing to his request, promoting Sun Chuanting to be a member of the military department, awarding the seal of General Wu Liu, and transferring him to listen to Lu Xiangsheng.

At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen took special care of it, and went to Liaodong to transfer 3,000 Guanning iron cavalry, led by the fierce general Zu Kuan, to help Lu Xiangsheng.

After receiving this holy decree, Lu Xiangsheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then he sent someone to ride a fast horse to live in Shaanxi to meet Sun Chuanting.

However, at this time, Sun Chuanting was already seriously ill in bed and couldn't move.

On the day of the death of his daughter Sun Mengdie, Sun Chuanting vomited blood, and was immediately snatched back to the city by his own soldiers, and invited the best doctors to come for treatment. I learned that the illness was caused by excessive grief and anger, and I couldn't get out of bed for a short time.

Therefore, Sun Chuanting was unable to attend Sun Mengdie's funeral, but two days after the burial, someone came to report that Sun Mengdie's grave was dug up, the coffin board was thrown aside, and the body was gone.

This time, he almost didn't make Sun Chuanting angry. The daughter is dead, and the body is still stolen, so that she will not be at peace after death, her intentions are too vicious, I don't know who did it, Sun Chuanting swore to the sky, to slash the enemy, this person will be cut by a thousand knives.

Sun Chuanting understood that these things must have been done by the Qin State, and the Qin army had always regarded himself as a great enemy, and this was mostly done to disturb his mind, making him angry and lose his judgment, so Sun Chuanting hated the Qin army to the core.

Hong Chengchou also heard about it in Huayin, and hurriedly came to condole, at this time Hong Chengchou had received the emperor's decree to recapture Xi'an within a month, and Hong Chengchou also felt the pressure.

After all, the Qin army has four or five thousand horses, and the combat effectiveness is strong, as long as the people in the city are appeased, and the hearts of the people are collected, then Xi'an is still a strong city, although it is claimed to have 10,000 horses in its hands at the moment, but it is actually less than six thousand, and has just suffered a big defeat, demoralization, Cao Wenzhao took the Guanning iron cavalry to chase and annihilate the Zhang Luo coalition army, I heard that it has chased through Ansai, and it is impossible to come back for a while. And even if it comes back, it is not very useful, and the cavalry can't run the city wall after all.

With thousands of broken soldiers, if they want to attack 5,000 elite troops, and the other side has a strong city and thick walls as a cover, this battle will definitely not be won. Once defeated again, even the emperor will not be able to protect himself.

At this time, Hong Chengchou was no longer the governor of the three sides, and he also understood that this was an explanation from the emperor to his ministers, as long as Xi'an was recaptured, he could be reinstated immediately.

But at this juncture, Sun Chuanting couldn't afford to be seriously ill, as if he had broken his arm.

The two had a long talk in front of the sickbed, Sun Chuanting did not tell Hong Chengchou about the change of generals, only said that his daughter was killed by the Qin army, of course Hong Chengchou did not ask much, just good words and comfort, and then the two talked about the recapture of Xi'an.

Sun Chuanting said to Hong Chengchou: "At present, the Qin army is strong and strong, the morale is high, and the city of Xi'an is thick and easy to defend and difficult to attack. Thousands of people once fought against tens of thousands of Zhang Luo thieves, and for six or seven days, the thieves failed to attack Waiguo, which shows the difficulty of attacking the city. The only way to do this is not to storm it, so as not to suffer too many casualties, it is best to lure them out of the city, as long as they fight in the field outside the city, our army has a greater chance of winning, Cao Wenzhao and Zuo Liangyu's men and horses, field battles are the strengths. ”

Hong Chengchou nodded: "What you said, I have already thought of it, but the saint is anxious, and he will want me to retake Xi'an within a month, this deadline is too short, and the Qin army is not a thief, abandon the fortified city and not defend it, and come out to be chased and beaten by our army, they will not make such a low-level mistake." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "If it is like what the adults said, then the one-month period is a little shorter, we could have trapped Xi'an City and swept away the foreign aid of the thief army, in this way, the Qin army is trapped in the lonely city, and there is no rescue, and after a long time, it will definitely be trapped to death, but the saint is anxious, and we lose the initiative." ”

Hong Chengchou said: "The current plan is only to storm it, we can first send a fine work into the city, and then launch a civil rebellion in the city, arson and disturbance, and then our army will attack the city again. ”

Sun Chuanting shook his head: "My lord, I don't know, when the Qin army occupied my Huayin, it used this strategy, first sent spies into the city to make trouble, and then attacked inside and outside to attack the city. Now the Qin army must guard against this hand, there are more people we have sent, it is easy to be exposed, and there are fewer people, all of which will not help, so this plan is absolutely not feasible, so as not to be calculated by others. ”

Hong Chengchou nodded again and again: "What Bai Gu said is extremely true. Then do not send a fine work into the city, but with the force of thunder, storm the city, and then thank the arrow book in the city, tell the whole city, and let the residents of the city not help the thief. Fortunately, when Zhang Luo's thief army attacked the city, the stones and rolling wood in the city, 10,000 enemies and other things, were almost used, and there was not much left, and the Qin thieves could only defend with arrows, and the lethality was much worse. After a few days, I will gather more people and attack all four gates, and I will always break through. ”

As he was talking, suddenly a holy decree arrived, and Sun Chuanting couldn't get out of bed, so he had to be supported by someone and knelt down on the bed to listen to the decree. After the announcer finished reading the holy decree to mobilize Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting were shocked.

What Hong Chengchou was shocked was why the saint urgently transferred Sun Chuanting to Jin, and he was still needed in Shaanxi. And Sun Chuanting was shocked that this time, it would not be his turn to avenge his daughter.

But in any case, this is a holy decree, and it is not allowed to disobey the decree, and the two of them respectfully sent the herald away with a heart.

Sun Chuanting lay on the bed, stunned. Hong Chengchou thought for a moment before saying, "Bai Gu doesn't have to worry, the saint must have deep considerations. At this time, Shaanxi has no other big enemies except for Qin thieves, but Gao Yingxiang Li Zicheng in Huguang, Henan, has a lot of power, and the fierce generals in our army are all in Shaanxi, other provinces, there are no good generals available, Lu Xiangsheng is the prime minister of the military affairs of the six provinces, and there are no competent people under him, and he can't always play. ”
