Chapter 122: Fan Jiu, who is eager for quick success

Fan Liang thought, you just copy Anqing, fight steadily, you go up and surround Jinzhou for me, you, brother, after you take Fan Bao to besiege the city, let Duowen, Ma Ting, the generals in our brave soldiers, give you support, and we will surround you on all sides.

You see, if you attack all the way, it will be more difficult to break through Jinzhou, so let's just set off together in four ways, the first way is of course Fan Jiu's, and I will go directly to the bottom of Jinzhou City.

For the remaining three roads, Duowen took people from the west to take Luzhou down for me and converged in the direction of Jinzhou, which was to prevent someone from returning to Luzhou and destroying the siege. In the east, Ma Ting took Ningguo and then marched to Jinzhou, and then the north road was broken through the obstacles by Li Xuye, who was the governor of Huizhou, and attacked Jinzhou!

That is to say, in this battle, Fan Li deliberately wanted his younger brother to take the lead, this is one thing we can understand, after all, it is his own brother, if his younger brother can win this credit, for him, the entire family is a very great honor.

Of course, in addition to this, there are some considerations that are not easy to say, if the younger brother can be the first to take Jinzhou, after all, there is still some money, this is the capital of the rebel army, can it be poor? This is all tacit by everyone.

Duowen, Ma Ting, and Li Xu, who were assigned to help, also wanted to take the first credit, but if you weigh your strength and the backers behind you, you can't compare with Fan Jiu at all, so pull it down and fight hard!

So this is a good fight, but it's interesting, how can it be interesting? It's that everyone made an appointment in advance, and everyone went to the city to besiege Jinzhou together.

As a result, after sending troops, Fan Jiu found that he ran first, and the other three roads did not come, so his main force arrived at the city, you said that Fan Jiu ran fast by himself, and it was okay! You say it's the other three route armies, and it's okay if they run slowly. Anyway, he was the first one, but now it's bad, Fan Li and Fan Jiu's thoughts began to be unified.

Let's talk about what Fan Liang thought first, Fan Liang was taken aback, isn't this the situation when our brothers were massacred in Sanhe Town? We said that we had thousands of dead that time, and our opponents were only tens of thousands.

You said that this time my brother brought a total of more than 10,000 soldiers, and the other party had 200,000 people, I will be a day, if the rebel army guarding Jinzhou finds out that the younger brother's army is fighting alone in depth, and it is over, then it will be crushed to death like an ant, so Fan Li kept writing and constantly persuading his younger brother to be stable.

But Fan Jiu in order to compete for the first success, he is advancing at full speed, and he has been waiting for this day for a long time, I have given up the opportunity to go to Haizhou in order to attack Jinzhou, and I don't hurry up to grab some real in my hands.

Why don't you listen to your eldest brother's orders? It's because Fan Jiu has always thought that the eldest brother is old, and the ink of marching and fighting has long since lost the heroic spirit of the year, and the spirit of the year has long been gone, and with the battle of Anqing back then, he feels that his wings are hard, I am a combat genius, and I have won every battle on the battlefield.

So he thinks his brother is too conservative on the battlefield, so conservative, how can you win? So Fan Jiu just made his own opinion, and what did he write to his brother? Said since the Anqing broke the city, all the soldiers and soldiers to attack Jinzhou as the ambition, now do not take advantage of the situation to fight the city, return the army to the thief, protracted, non-profit, forced city and tun, but also enough to control the thief, although the military is dangerous, it is not possible to seek everything.

What does it mean? Wealth and danger are sought! Big brother, I'll go too! left, didn't listen to Fan Li's words at all, Fan Jiu's idea was: The general will not be subject to military orders abroad. Fan Li's thoughts were: Oh, my brother, don't die! Completely different.

But soon, the facts gave Fan Jiu a hard slap in the face, his eyes were full of stars, he didn't know the southeast and northwest, and Fan Jiu also began to re-examine himself because of this blow, it turned out that he was really just a countryman, really just a frog at the bottom of the well, with a toad's heart to swallow the swan in one bite, it was simply a fool's dream.

So, what problem did this proud Fan Jiu, this arrogant Fan Jiu, this greedy Fan Jiu, and this Fan Jiu, who no one is afraid of, encounter something that made him feel like a huge slap in the face?

In fact, what he originally thought in his heart was that I took my army of victories and no defeats, and after I went to this Jinzhou to surround it, I must have firmly held the head in my own hands, what smells, what Ma Ting, Li Xuyi, who do you love, you just come to show me on the side, the big battles and difficult battles will be fought by me, once I can't win, of course it is impossible, you will shoot again. If I win, it has nothing to do with you, and I'll stand aside when I divide the money.

But he made a fatal mistake of a soldier, which is called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, and not being defeated in a hundred battles. He has never been to Jinzhou at all, not only has he not been, but his henchmen and generals have never been to Jinzhou.

Before, I thought in my mind, we are going to fight here, we are going to fence this place, we will go like a dream, and after we go, we will station the troops in Yuhuatai, and then I will explain to the more than 10,000 soldiers under my command, saying that you should hurry up around your camp and dig trenches, repair the city wall, and others in the province will attack us, we must protect ourselves well, and then rest and prepare to work!

After the task was arranged, he left his generals behind, and said You should take a good look, what about me, I will take someone to take a look, see our goal this time, the place where our dream began, the treasury of gold and silver treasures, how big is it? Let me estimate how long the trench we will have to dig to surround it. Then let's study and study again, just like in the past around Anqing, how much silver we have to spend, how many hungry people we hire to help us do this, okay, it's all right, I'm leaving, I'll go and have a good visit.

He took a few guards around him, and ran to Jinzhou City, to the outside of Jinzhou City, walking, walking, looking, it's really good, this big city, not bad, very good, very good!

Soon, time flies, walked a day, then I feel a little wrong, this city is not the same as the city in my impression, how is it different, it is said that I am in general, I walk a city, almost a day to go around, how do I walk your city, I go around a circle...... This? It seems that I haven't seen the head yet, and this wall is different from the others, it seems to be very high, very thick, and very large.

I asked the local people what was going on, how big is your wall? Then people say that this city wall is so big, in today's words, it is called 90 miles around, and the height and thickness are incomparable to the city walls in other places. The foundation of this city wall is 14 meters wide, the widest place is 30 meters, and the height is 14 to 21 meters, the whole city is made of huge stones, and then built up with huge bricks.
