Chapter 568: Where the Beginning and the End

By the end of May, Gaotang City had been surrounded by the Qin army's camp, and only the west side of the city was vacant to the river.

"The siege of the city must be que, and General Wei is worthy of being a good use of soldiers!"

With the troops to the camp of the Qin army in Gaotang City, ten miles away, Yu Chengwu, the lieutenant of Dongjun, began his embarrassing mode, in front of Cao Shen, who led the way, from the siege to the camp, he praised all the arrangements of Heifu, and he couldn't wait to blow General Wei into a famous general in the world.

Cao Shen was amused in his heart, but he could also understand that as the counterinsurgency continued, relying on the strength of the counties of Qidi alone was enough to quell the "Zhutian Rebellion", so Qin Shi Huang gave Heifu the additional position of "General Pei", let him command the soldiers and horses of the counties, and he was bound to strangle Tian Wei in Gaotang City.

So under the city of Gaotang, the army gathered, not only Jiaodong and Linzi soldiers, but also Jibei and Dongjun soldiers came one after another, and Julu County on the other side of the river also sent 2,000 people to guard the riverbank.

Heifu has a very high title, he is a very trusted minister of Qin Shi Huang, and now he has become the top boss of the county lieutenants, and of course the eastern county lieutenants have to be curried.

Cao Shen was only responsible for leading the way, and after settling the 5,000 Dongjun soldiers, he would take Chengwu to the big tent, and later the Heifu would come here to discuss with the county lieutenants.

As soon as Yu Chengwu entered the tent, he saw an acquaintance.

"Captain Xu, don't come unharmed."

Yu Chengwu smiled cutely, but Jibei Lieutenant Xu Ji couldn't laugh, he shook his head helplessly, and said to his old comrades-in-arms who had participated in the battle of Yan and Qi together in the past: "I am a general who has lost his land and is waiting for crimes, and I may be removed and beheaded at any time, how dare I call it 'unharmed'?" ”

Don't let Jibei Wei not worry, they lost half of the county in Jibei, and all the fields north of Jishui are thieves, although this pot will belong to the county guard who fights the grass and snakes, but he can't be exempt from responsibility, so he hopes to save a little in this battle.

Xu Ji is not the most unlucky, in the corner of the tent, there is still an old man with a gloomy face, but it is the county lieutenant of Linzi County. He also lost his land, and because of his carelessness, he lost a battle in Jishui, and now he has been dismissed from his post and only continues to assist Heifu in commanding the army.

Xu Ji was still a little hopeful, but Lou Kang's heart was like ashes, and he didn't even bother to pay attention to Yu Chengwu saying hello to him.

Yu Chengwu was bored, so he had to find a place to kneel and sit down, speaking of which, the three of them were once Wang Ben's generals, with great achievements, and after unification, they got the post of county lieutenant, and the Kanto region was rich, and everyone lived a comfortable life, catching thieves, practicing soldiers, and no longer the eventful years of the old sword mountain and sea of fire.

Who expected that this sudden change in Qi land caught the lieutenants off guard, which led to the erosion of Linzi and Jibei.

He couldn't help but secretly rejoice: "Fortunately, I was assigned to Dongjun as an official, and there are no thieves there." ”

The turmoil caused by the first uprising in Di County, at present, seems to be confined to Qi land, outside Qi land, only the giant deer Lu Goujian responded, and in the rest of the place, there is no one who echoes and supports, perhaps because this turmoil will be quelled in less than three months, and the imperial court does not even have to use the central army.

"Maybe not to let Pengcheng's General Wang Ben and the division of Guanzhong come to quell the chaos, but also His Majesty's considerations......"

Yu Chengwu secretly speculated that the emperor wanted the local county soldiers to kill Qi Chao, so as to tell the world: "Calm the chaos and change the ear, cut the chicken with a knife?" ”

But the premise of doing all this is that the knife that kills chickens is a sharp blade!

Just as he was thinking about it, the camp tent was opened again, and a black-faced general in military uniform walked in, it was the chicken-killing knife of this battle, General Heifu!

"I've seen General Lieutenant!"

Yu Chengwu and the others hurriedly got up and gave up their hands, Heifu nodded at them, and sat down on the main seat.

Seeing that Heifu was young, it was said that he was not yet thirty years old this year, and he could be a feudal official before he reached the age of tense. This time to calm down the chaos, I am afraid that I can reach the chief of the carriage or even the chief of the big house, and it is only one step away from the marquis......

Before Yu Chengwu could sigh about the terrible afterlife, Heifu went straight in, asked about the number of Dongjun soldiers, and arranged for their deployment......

……

"5,000 soldiers from Dongjun besieged the south gate, 5,000 soldiers from Jibei besieged the south gate, 8,000 troops from Linzi and Jiaodong surrounded the east gate, plus 2,000 Julu soldiers on the other side of the river, our army totaled 20,000 ......."

After the three lieutenants were ordered to retreat, Heifu looked at the map of Gaotang and pondered.

"The art of war clouds, ten are encircled, five are attacked, and multiple is divided. Not counting the people in the city, there are more than 20,000 rebels alone, more than Qin Shi. The reason why they avoided fighting was because the Tian brothers knew that the order of the Qingxia Haikou was scattered, and the dignified field battle would be defeated, so they could only hope to defend the city and defend ......"

Compared with forcibly swimming across the big river, giving Heifu the opportunity to pursue and annihilate them in half-crossing, compared to the dilemma of rushing in the wilderness and causing the stars to scatter, gathering them together and fighting to the death, this is already the best choice for the Tian brothers.

At present, Heifu attacked Gaotang with 20,000 Qin troops, which is really a bit difficult.

Heifu closed the map and walked outside the camp, his big camp was camped on a hillock with a wide field of vision, and the Qin army camp extended outward layer by layer, in an orderly manner, after all, Heifu had a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he looked unhappy if the camp was not neat.

A few miles away, there is a large city with a wall four or five feet high......

The city wall is made of rammed earth, although it is not high, but it is very thick, which is the Tian family has widened little by little over hundreds of years.

Unlike other countries, the local administrative system of Qi is not a county, but a "five-capital system".

Among them, Linzi, Jimo, Ju, Gaotang, and Pinglu are known as the five capitals.

The reason why Gaotang has such a high status is that in addition to the fact that it controls the shoulders and backs of Qi, is the throat of Heshuo, is the west gate of Qi and is a place where soldiers must fight, there is another important reason: this is the place where the Tian family made his fortune!

According to Heifu's understanding, after the ancestor of the Tian family, Chen Guogongzi, entered the Qi Dynasty, this family was still just a little doctor under the fence, and he couldn't even afford the territory. Several generations have passed, and there has been no improvement, and the family personality is also famous for its "literary quality and generosity", until there is an exception: Tian Wuyu, who can be called an actor......

Natian Wuyu first took refuge in Quanchen Qingfeng, and then turned against the water, putting his family in the right position. Ten years later, he used the reason of "if you don't beat them, they will destroy you", united with Bao Shuya's descendants, the Bao family, to take away the ruling Gong Luan and Gao Bang, and straighten out Qi Jinggong.

So much is not because of loyalty and patriotism, but for himself, Qi Jinggong thanked Tian Wuyu for his two "Kuangfu Sheji" merits, and gave him Ju Di next to the city, Tian Wuyu listened to Yan Ying's suggestion, desperately excused himself, but bought Qi Jinggong's mother behind his back, saying that Tian is so loyal and humble, how can a small Yi be enough, it is better to give them Gao Tang......

It is recorded in the history books that when Tian got the Tang Dynasty, he used four words.

"Tian's first great!"

Gaotang as the main road of Jintu, a horse and a flat river, the land is fertile, and the Tian family has accumulated the strength of several generations here, and finally completed the cause of Daiqi......

It is not an exaggeration to say that their history began in the Tang Dynasty, this is the land of Tian's Longxing, and the people of the Tang Dynasty are also the most favored by the Tian family, and they will never forget Tian Qi.

And now, Gaotang has become the last bulwark of the restorationists, not only the city is thick and deep, there are warehouses in the city, and the grain has been accumulated for three years, which is enough for the rebels to eat for a long time. The support of the people of this city for the anti-Qin restoration is even greater than that of Linzi, and the fear of "Qin army slaughtering the city" is only afraid that they will try their best to help defend the city, so it is a tough battle to fight Gaotang.

"At least, it will be as difficult as the Water Margin Village attacking Gaotang Prefecture." Heifu complained secretly.

At this time, Wei Yang, the nephew who was a guard beside Heifu, pointed to the city and said, "Middle father...... General, the flag has been raised at the head of the city! ”

Sure enough, two flags were erected at the head of the city, and after a while, the scouts came back to report that the big banner at the head of the city had nine dragons on it......

"It's the Dragon Nine Banner, the representative of the Qi royal family."

Heifu smiled, he heard from Zhang Cang, this is still the flag given by King Xiang of Zhou at the ceremony when Duke Qi Huan became Uncle Hou, and later the Tian family did not change the name of the country, so he inherited this flag, and the Tian brothers raised things to restore the Qi country, this flag is indispensable.

In addition, there is a "Linggu" flag painted with the dragon in the city tower slightly lower, that is the symbol of "Xiangbang", it seems that the real commander of the rebels, the three brothers of the Tian family are probably also at the head of the city at this time, looking at the Qin camp, discussing countermeasures......

Heve knew what they could see:

The four Qin armies were in various places, the camps were solid, the soldiers were strong bows and crossbows to guard the key places, and tens of thousands of people from Xue County and Dong County were piling up earth mountains for siege.

Wooden hammers are pounding everywhere, and a brand new siege tower is being built. Two more have been built. Between these two towers, there were several siege engines, rams made of large tree trunks, fixed with iron cables, sharpened at the tops and hardened by fire, covered with wooden roofs, covered with raw horse skins, watered and fireproof.

There are more than a dozen siege "flying stones" have been prepared more than 100 steps outside the city, this is the equipment that appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period, craftsmen are running back and forth, and they are debugging the head.

This big war is about to break out!

Heifu couldn't help but be indignant.

"The history of the Tian family began in the Gaotang Dynasty, and this family has produced many talents, Tian Wuyu, Tian Qi, Sima Sui Tho, Sun Tzu, Tian Heng, Qi Wei Wang, Qi Xuan Wang, Tian Ji, Meng Weijun, Tian Dan, and they can be regarded as leading the coquettish for hundreds of years......"

Hefu had the banner of the battalion waved, woo-woo, and the horn was blown, which was a sign of the beginning of the first tentative offensive!

Thousands of Qin troops stepped forward with neat steps, striking their shields with their swords, they didn't really want to attack the city, but they relied on morale to fight, and daily demonstrations were necessary, and it was enough to scare the light chivalrous people at the head of the city.

And the craftsmen also adjusted the trebuchet, and countless people shouted and pulled the rope, shot the first flying stone out, and smashed it into Gaotang City, smashing the "Dragon Nine" banner at the head of the city!

"But now, the history of the Tian clan will also end here!"
