Chapter 230. Linzi
No wonder Liu Bei has been defeated so many times, a few points into a lost dog, and finally he can get up! Mr. Cao is too, the only three counties in Zhencheng are left who have been beaten, and they can also make a comeback, because of these feudal two words, the government decree does not go out of the city, and each county-level unit is basically controlled by the village elders, they have no concept of loyalty at all, basically whoever is strong and who can bring them benefits, they will take refuge in whom.
It's very much like the Middle Ages in Europe, Emperor Han Xian is the pope, the pope who has fallen next to the power, Cao Cao is the Holy Roman Emperor, coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the rest of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao are the kings, and these counties are local nobles, and the king can order these nobles to prepare troops and pay a small part of taxes, but they can't rule their territory.
However, this also has the advantage that as long as you have an army, you can easily get large pieces of territory.
The soldiers were very fast, stripped out the captured officers of the Qi army, and pulled out 10,000 people from the troops of Zang Ba, Wu Shuo and others to scatter them, a team of three Taishan thieves, six Qi soldiers, and then led these troops, Wang Hou went north again.
Jiang Yiqu Department 19,000, Taishan Department still has 50,000 at this time, plus Wang Hou's own troops, although most of them are unreliable, but add it, add it, and then round it off, Wang Hou also has millions of troops, and Wang Hou has just stepped out of the Yidu County boundary, with the last 7,000 soldiers and horses, the Qi Junlang who escaped on the battlefield that day also led the city to surrender, and Yidu City, which resisted Zang Ba for more than a month, also surrendered without a fight.
In the big snow shell, looking at the blue-gray Yidu city wall, Zang Ba was really angry and his eyes were red, if it weren't for the fact that this small county town where birds don't poop and chickens don't lay eggs blocked his way to the north, now it is not said that the pattern of the land of Qingzhou has changed, sitting in Linzi City as the emperor of the soil, it should be him Zang Ba who gives orders!
If he came to command the army at this time, he would definitely be angry and ordered the troops to enter Yidu County to burn and plunder for three days and three nights to relieve the hatred in his heart.
It's a pity that history has no ifs, Zang Ba's pupils were red and he stared at the city wall for a long time, but he was pulled by Wu Shuo's sleeves, looking at him shaking his head helplessly, and angrily slamming his sleeves, Zang Ba was also annoyed and helplessly turned over and got on the horse, and then embarked on the journey.
did not enter the capital city, just brought the troops under the command of General Lang Jiang and the grain in the city, and the army continued to march north, and arrived at Linzi City on January 18!
From the Western Zhou Dynasty, the legend of Jiang Ziya who held the whip was sealed here, the city has always been the center of the land of Shandong, when Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, once migrated a lot of Linzi City heroes, and demolished the city wall of Linzi City, so that it declined slightly, but when Han Xin sealed the King of Qi, he began to build the Linzi city wall again, until the complete completion of the Qi King Liu Fei period.
For more than 300 years, Linzi City has not suffered any devastating blows, so it is rare to show Wang Hou in front of an ancient city with a fairly complete Warring States charm.
What made him even more excited was that Linzi did not open the city and surrender!
At this time, Linzi City can have about more than 200,000 people, one-tenth of the population of Qi lives here, just in front of this city wall is nearly five kilometers, three city gates, and nine towering arrow towers stand on the city tower, vaguely can see someone holding a bow and arrow to climb the wooden arrow tower full of snow in a panic, climb high and look, look inward, vaguely see the pavilions and pavilions in the city, the high buildings, the clouds and mist are shrouded, and it is not magnificent.
Although she is a big family lady in Langya Kingdom, Langya Country does not have such a magnificent city, standing on the lookout with Wang Hou, Zhuge Ying's beautiful big eyes are about to fly out, and she shouts with great excitement.
"Wow! What a magnificent and rich city! ”
The later generations of the metropolis have seen more, and the Tang Furong Garden in later generations is also smaller than this Linzi City, although the Kaifeng Songcheng Scenic Area has not been to, but I heard that the scale is about the same as the city in front of me, listening to this girl exclaimed, Wang Hou is heart is full of superiority, looking at the hillbilly general eyes glanced at this girl, in her pouting mouth and snorting, he was very chic and domineering President slap.
The order went down, and in the division of the army, he ordered Beihai Xiang Zangba to camp at the west gate, and Yin Li and the rest of the Qi country were stationed at the south gate with the Benzhou herd, repaired the wall, and prepared to attack the city! ”
In fact, at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was not shameful to surrender generals, just like Cao Cao's five good generals, Zhang Liao, Gao Lan, and Yu Ban were actually generals, but it was relatively rare for Jiang Yiqu to surrender more than fifty years, but if he surrendered, he was inferior, so he had to find a way to invite merit in front of the new lord.
"State pastor, if you can trust the old man, the old man is willing to enter the city on his behalf to persuade him to surrender!"
"No, you don't! I am the Son of Heaven Pingqingzhou, begging for thieves! How can you tolerate these snakes and rats at both ends? Since they are stubborn and willing to be martyred for the Yuan thief, then it is up to them! ”
Just kidding, this one is all set up, it's useless, it's rare to meet someone who doesn't open his eyes, how can he not play tricks?
In Jiang Yiqu's stunned, Wang Hou waved his coat sleeves and directly waved him back.
…………
Xin Ping and Qidi Gate Valve, who were blocked in Linzi, are really so loyal to the Yuan family in Zhumadian? Pull it down! Xin Ping's younger brother Xin Bi is still serving as a Zhonglang official under President Cao, and the Yuan family is seeing the wind and rain, who has his head caught in the door, and is willing to give him a funeral! However, Wang Hou's reputation is not good, he wields a big stick in Chengyang County to scrape the ground three feet high, and the Qi Di Shi clan who always pay attention to him is naturally quite heard, although the situation is like this, but sitting on the Linzi city wall, they still want to wait for the price and sell, and strive for a good condition for themselves.
After all, besieging the city is a headache for any general, especially Wang Hou's labor expedition in the cold and freezing winter, if he is trapped under the city for a long time, he will have to retreat.
However, Linzi Shimin is still happy to find a new big brother for himself! If you are willing to be a mud bodhisattva, the big guy is still willing to give you a tribute to fill the incense, this Wang Hou set up a position under the city wall, and sent sappers to build a snow wall trench, and in the creaking rope of the south gate of Linzi, an old man with gray hair and beard was put down sitting in a big earthen basket.
Several of Wang Hou's scout cavalry outside the city immediately hurried up and carried him back to the Chinese army by the elbow.
"Old decay Tian Zhao, meet Qingzhou Mu!"
Tian dynasty Jiang Qi became a major event to end the Spring and Autumn Period, since then, the surname Tian originally from Jianghuai took root in the land of Qingzhou, even if Qin Shi Huang migrated a large wave, did not uproot the Tian family, when Chu and Han fought for hegemony, Tian Qi once dragged Xiang Yu into the quagmire of war, it is estimated that after Tian Qi, although this old man was brought back, into the Chinese army tent, his old man is still not humble or arrogant, confident fist lightly nodded his head.
This etiquette can be described as extremely light! Jia Xu, who was accompanying him, couldn't help frowning.
But it doesn't matter if he is Tian Qi, Shilin's fame or something, he directly looks rude, and shouts at the top of his voice.
"Wu Na Lao, what are you doing in my Chinese army?"
"Returning to the state pastor, the old decay represents the Qingzhou fathers, and he surrendered to welcome the state pastor!"
