Chapter 691: Battle of Merging States!!
Song Wensong and Lu Zheng formed an alliance, the food problem was alleviated, the Song family of Longyou and Cao Wei of the two rivers communicated with each other, Song Wenjie, and Song Wenhua's brothers' plan was to trap Song Wensong in the capital, so that he would never have a way to return to Longyou.
At this moment, it is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous moment for Song Wensong, which is also the reason why Lu Zheng opened his mouth and Song Wensong agreed without hesitation.
There is grain in his hand, he is not panicked, the transportation of the capital and the south of the Yangtze River is opened, the grain channel is opened, Song Wensong finally relieved himself, he convened all the strategists and generals to discuss the matter, Wu Liewen said:
"Three generals, for the sake of today's plan, we must first take the annexation state, and if the annexation state is not taken, Gyeonggi will not be at peace! The current situation is already very obvious, that is, Cao Weiming and the Song family are colluded together, they are secretly making evil, and they want to force the three generals to die in the capital, in this case, if we sit and wait to die, it will be like the boiled frog in warm water, sooner or later we will lose everything, rather than this, we might as well give it a go! ”
After Wu Liewen finished speaking, Xing Zheng said: "The key question now is whether Liu Song is reliable? If Liu Song takes advantage of our attack on the annexation of the state, but instead comes to attack the capital, then we will suffer from the enemy on our backs, even if we take the annexation state, I am afraid it will be difficult to last, this can not be guarded against! ”
Xing Zheng said this, and all the strategists didn't dare to speak, and it is true that Song San's life is here. Song San wants to fight and merge states, and he must go all out. However, Song San was gone, and Gyeonggi was empty and could only rely on the Nanfu army for defense. Does the Nanfu Army really have no second heart for it? What if they want to take advantage of the fire?
If Lu Zheng wants to stab him in the back, Song Wensong will be finished, for the cunning and suspicious Song Wensong, it is really quite difficult for him to fully believe that Lu Zheng is really not possible!
But the current situation is really urgent, and Bingzhou has become a big trouble for him, and Bingzhou misses, just like a thorn in his back, so he can't move, he wants to break the game, he must take Bingzhou.
At a critical time, he set his eyes on Qi Yuanzhi and said: "Yuanzhi, since I entered the customs, many schemes have been planned for me by you, and now I am once again in a situation of retreat, Mr. teach me!" ”
Qi Yuanzhi has not been by Song Wensong's side for a long time, and he has not shown himself before, but since Song Wensong decided to enter the customs, Qi Yuanzhi has shown amazing talent every time he schemes, and Song Wensong's opinion of him has also been completely reversed.
Now that he saw that Qi Yuanzhi didn't speak, he knew that this person had a calm temperament, and he must have an idea in his heart, and he needed to ask the other party to talk about it, even if he put down his posture.
Sure enough, Qi Yuanzhi pondered for a moment and said: "The current state should be the weakest time, for no other reason, because the Song family also saw the difficulties of the son, and knew that the third prince was a mouse-thrower, and it was difficult to leave the capital." If the third prince thinks about waiting for the power to grow further before moving, I am afraid that the state has become an impregnable wall. ”
Qi Yuanzhi paused, and then said: "Our alliance with Jiangnan should be the most stable time now, because we and Jiangnan each take what they need." Jiangnan is the granary of the world, and Lu Zheng is a first-class talent, if his power grows stronger, I'm afraid you can't rest assured!
At the moment, it seems that we are in a desperate situation, and at first glance it seems that there are many choices, but in fact, there is no choice for the third son. Victory or defeat is in this battle, and after taking the state, it locked the throat of the northwest, making the Song family in Longyou become a turtle in the urn, and they must be in panic all day.
Cao Weiming of the two rivers must have lost the barrier, he set himself up as the king, committed a big taboo, the world will inevitably chase it, at that time, the son will go east again, and the land of the two rivers can be exhausted! ”
Qi Yuanzhi said eloquently, his thoughts were very clear, everyone nodded again and again when they heard it, Song Wensong said: "Yes, Yuanzhi's words made me suddenly, in this current situation, there is no choice for us, there is only one way, and that is to kill!" ”
"Immediately repair the book to Liu Song and tell him, I will hand over Tongzhou to him, if he can't prevent Cao Weiming, he and I will no longer have the status of master and apprentice in the future! If he can prevent it, I will give him another 5,000 war horses in private, and I Song Wensong will do what he says, and I will never break my word! Song Wensong said loudly, the biggest temptation for the Nanfu army is the horse, and Song Wensong took the horse to talk about it.
He is a hero, knows how to make trade-offs when it is critical, and is decisive and unambiguous. He made a decision in his heart, and the capital immediately started running at high speed. The crown prince Long Zhaohuan was a little panicked, Song Wensong knelt down in front of him, wept bitterly and told the situation in Gyeonggi, and said:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Gyeonggi is in danger, the Longyou traitors and Cao thieves are in collusion, and they want to swallow my Gyeonggi land, and now we have only to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and the last general personally led the elite troops to capture the state, and took the state, the north-south passage is unblocked, and we can only survive!"
Long Zhaohuan helped him up and said, "General Song San is a true hero, but it's a pity that this palace doesn't have the strength in his hands, so he can't help the general!" ”
Song Wensong said: "Your Highness, I have handed over the defense of Gyeonggi to the Nanfu Army, and the Nanfu Army is loyal to Your Majesty, and will definitely respect your orders from the Crown Prince." At a critical time, the prince can give orders, with your orders, they will definitely fight to the death and cannot retreat, and we are the only ones who can turn things around! ”
Song Wensong has great respect for Long Zhaohuan, and his behavior is very different from Cao Weiming. This is exactly where Song Wensong is clever, he is a hero in his bones, but he is well versed in the truth of hiding clumsy.
Like Cao Weiming, although he was cool for a while, he soon became the public enemy of the world, and such people are just stupid people after all, and they can't be elegant.
Song Wensong's strategy was to respect the prince and ensure that he was the orthodox of Dakang, with this identity, he took the prince's holy decree to conquer the state, and the division was famous, and the traitor of the state was psychologically disadvantaged.
Long Zhaohuan naturally had no possibility of resisting at this moment, since he had experienced Cao Weiming's incident, he had already been disheartened, and now Song Wensong could be polite and respectful to him, even if it was hypocritical, he felt satisfied.
It's just that at this time, the Nanfu army went north, compared to continuing to stay in the capital, Long Zhaohuan really wanted to go to Jiangnan, staying in the capital and living his life like a year, he was just a puppet, he was really fed up with this kind of day, and he really didn't want to suffer anymore for a moment.
Song Wensong left the East Palace, immediately led 50,000 horses to the expedition, the capital only left 10,000 horses to defend, Tongzhou all gave to Liu Song, who had just arrived, he and Liu Song did not even meet, the current situation, time is really urgent, he must dare to before Song Wenjie reacts, with lightning speed to quickly capture the state, and will be the state to hold!
Song Wensong led the troops day and night, and rushed to the city of Bingzhou within three days, Cheng Xian, the defender of the city, was Song Wenjie's henchman, he never dreamed that Song Wensong came so quickly, in a hurry, he led his troops to meet the battle, and at the same time, he urgently reported the military situation of Bingzhou to Longyou.
Song Wensong was not prepared to give Cheng Xian too many opportunities, once he attacked the city, he attacked like a madman, 50,000 horses surrounded the city from all directions, and the rich siege equipment was built by Song Wensong. The siege engines and walls were almost the same height.
Compared with the city defense of Bingzhou, they have not come back to their senses at all, and their city defense equipment has not yet been prepared, Cheng Xian is still a fierce general after all, and he personally led the soldiers to fight to the death above the city, but Cheng Xian's fierce comparison with Song Wensong is a big deal.
Song Wensong is Wang Ba is iron heart to fight to the death, so he let go, and personally led the guards to charge, rushing to the front, he was wearing heavy armor, his face was protected by a helmet, just like the invulnerable steel monster, he climbed all the way to the city wall, and the halberd in his hand was like a sickle mowing grass to harvest life.
The Lord will be so brave, how can a soldier not die? For a while, many soldiers were desperate for their lives, and the balance of victory and defeat in the war began to tilt gradually!
Cheng Xian also made a ruthless effort, desperately killing in the direction of Song Wensong, Song Wensong roared and said: "Little Cheng Xian, you dare to be the enemy of your third grandfather, Lao Tzu will let you die today without a whole body!" ”
Song Wensong's roar was like thunder, and his tower-like body ran forward like a stone mill, and he went straight to Cheng Xian, wanting to take his life.
Cheng Xian had long known that Song Wensong was brave and unparalleled, but he didn't expect Song Wensong to be so brave, he saw Song Wensong kill him, like a god descending from heaven, he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, and subconsciously wanted to retreat.
As soon as he retreated, his morale was dissipated, and Song Wensong roared angrily and said, "Where to run?" ”
There happened to be a defender of the city Ding spear stabbed over, Song Wensong grabbed the spear with one hand, snatched the blade with force, and then held the spear in his hand, and threw it forward with his life, Cheng Xian was fleeing backwards, suddenly heard the wind in the back of his head, his heart was horrified, and he immediately dodged, but it was a step too slow, Song Wensong pierced his shoulder with a spear, and he flew backwards with a scream.
Song Wensong laughed and said, "Sons of dogs, listen, Cheng Xian, this bastard, has been killed by me!" If you submit to the third master, the third master will not be blamed in the past, and you will be brothers if you are good at wine and meat, otherwise, the third master and I will be murderous and will bleed like a river! ”
Song Wensong's roar, countless people were heartbroken, they were all Song Jiajun, how could they not know the name of Song San? The entire Longyou Song San is like a god of war, and has countless fans in the army. Now that the Lord is dying, and the walls have been breached, where is the fighting spirit of the people below?
For a while, countless people knelt down one after another, threw away the blades in their hands, and the city of Hezhou was attacked by Song Wensong, and more than 10,000 soldiers were captured by Cheng Xian's soldiers.
Song Wensong originally set out with 50,000 horses, after a war the number of people did not decrease but increased, after Song Wensong took the state, he immediately sent troops to the surrounding battle, but a few days of effort, several cities around the state were all taken by him. At this time, Cheng Xian's 800 miles of urgency could be delivered to Song Wenjie's hands.
Song Wenjie received an urgent report, his face was pale, and he immediately went to report to his father and all the generals, everyone had not yet discussed a countermeasure, the faster flying pigeon passed the book arrived, and the scouts near the state came to report, and the state missed, Cheng Xian died in battle, and all the cities around the state were obtained by Song Wensong.
Song Wensong occupied the state, re-divided the officials, opened the granary to reward the people, and the people of the state celebrated each other, all praised Song Wensong's virtue, Song Wensong came out of the list to settle the people, let Qi Yuanzhi serve as the governor of the state, let the fierce general Ma Shun serve as the governor of the state, and left 30,000 elite soldiers to the state.
You must know that there is a natural danger between Bingzhou and Longyou, one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open, Song Wensong used 30,000 soldiers and horses to guard and merge the state, which can ensure that the state is impregnable.
What's more, the area around Bingzhou is extremely vast, and as long as you recuperate for a few years, the Bingzhou army can be further expanded. Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for soldiers.
The state is easy to defend and difficult to attack, in the throat of the north-south communication, one of them, the second is the place of Tibetan soldiers, the land of Longxing of the Dakang Dynasty is in the state, when Gaozu hid 300,000 soldiers in the state.
Third, Bingzhou is also a place to raise soldiers, and to the south, the territory is vast, and there is just rich land, so in the north, Bingzhou is a first-class rich land, and the granary is the basis for raising soldiers. Song Wensong was merged, and it can be said that he completely reversed his passive situation.
Song Wenjie's brothers knew the news of the loss of Bingzhou, and they were completely panicked, Song Wenjie immediately flew a pigeon to pass the book to Lianghe, and Cao Weiming also heard the news of Bingzhou at this time, and he was also stunned.
He has just been crowned king, the status of Lianghe is unstable, and more importantly, he has the Shandong Liaodong Army in the east, and the Liaodong Army in the north is also pressed by the Liaodong Army. To the west, Song Wensong put heavy pressure on him, and in this case, he must seek a breakthrough.
Song Wensong captured Bingzhou, the capital must be empty, Cao Weiming must seize this opportunity, immediately he personally led 30,000 veterans, 20,000 recruits Hao Hao Tang Tang directly approached the capital, but their 50,000 horses until Tongzhou encountered a Biao army, the two sides did not agree and immediately fought.
In this fight, the opponent was extremely tough, the two sides fought for two days, and they won and lost each other, and Cao Weiming's tens of thousands of horses were unable to advance for a while.
Cao Weiming was so angry that he immediately went to the scouts to inquire about the news, and got the scouts to reply, and it was the Nanfu Army that dared to block the way, and the commander was Liu Song, Liu Song was Song Wensong's partial general before, and he was also the way of the Northwest Army, so the soldiers under him were extremely powerful.
Cao Weiming's heart was really uncomfortable like ashes, Lu Zheng and Song Wensong colluded together, didn't this kill him? Immediately, he gritted his teeth and ordered his soldiers to take Tongzhou at all costs, so as to open up the passage into Beijing.
Cao Weiming was ruthless, the soldiers of Lianghe are mostly old soldiers, compared to the Nanfu army is still immature, the two sides fought in Tongzhou, the Nanfu army was quite difficult at the beginning, but Liu Song's toughness is excellent, there are many such dangers, but in the end Cao Weiming just can't attack it.
The so-called one drum, then decline, three and exhaustion, the battle of Tongzhou was originally only prepared to be fought for two days, but the outcome of the battle for 12 days has not yet been decided, Cao Wei clearly lost thousands of men and horses, but did not take a step forward.
He was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at his eyes, jumped to his feet and scolded his mother, just when he was depressed and didn't know whether to enter, the scout suddenly came to report: "Report to the general, the Tongzhou army has retreated, and Tongzhou has become an empty city!" ”
Cao Weiming said: "Really? This...... How is this possible? ”
The strategists beside him immediately came up and said, "General Cao, don't hesitate, you should let everyone go straight to the capital immediately." This incident shows that the Nanfu army and Song Wensong are not close to each other, they are drugged Song Wensong, if we attack properly, maybe we can take the capital in one go, take the capital, and severely damage Song Wensong's morale, this is a great thing......
