Chapter 151: The Fall of Yunzhou
Since Zhishen's eldest brother Zhiyu formed a semi-independent and autonomous situation in the south, the old man of the Zhishen family has become more and more dissatisfied with these sons, and he is afraid that these people will become the second Zhiyu.
Several times before, the old man complained in private that these sons wished that he would die early and then inherit the family.
If Lu Zhan hears the old man of the Zhi family complaining, Lu Zhan will think of Queen Elizabeth and her Prince Charles, this prince has been a prince for so many years and has not become a king, looking at the posture, this prince may leave this world one step earlier than the queen.
After Zhishen agreed, he arranged for these soldiers of the Zhi family to start rushing into the courtyard of his house, and Zhishen thought that as long as his troops rushed in, he could cut down these people who dared to assassinate here.
The struggle in the shadows was often not as fierce as the confrontation on the frontal battlefield, and just as the second son of the Zhi family was preparing to suppress these assassins, the Lu family also began to act.
This hands-on Lu family is not Lu Zhan, but Lu Zhan's cousin Lu Tingchen, the Shuozhou army, as the most capable of fighting in the Zhijia fiefdom, resists Hu Rao all the year round, and the Shuozhou army is not only good at defending the city, but also good at using cavalry.
Yunzhou is also an important transit point for inland connections to the grasslands, and even though it is the largest Hu-Han trade port in Zhijia, it is also an important border town.
Since the families within the Jin Kingdom began to fight, most of the garrison troops here have been transferred south, and all the cavalry troops stationed there have been called up to the boundary bridge. Yunzhou, which was empty and strategically located, was targeted by Lu Tingchen.
In Lu Zhan's impression, his cousin is like the hero in the biography, unsmiling and calm. As soon as I saw him, I felt a sense of intimidation and anger.
"Are the fighters ready?" Lu Tingchen still asked the adjutant beside him as cold as ice.
The adjutant beside him was already familiar with the style of the chief general, "General, the Hu people in this city should have been arranged, but the people who came this time are all cavalry, if those Hu people don't do anything if they collect money......
"Though they are not of my kind, their hearts will be different. But sometimes these Hu people still have the value of use, this Yunzhou is also a border town, even if you come with heavy troops and siege weapons, it is not easy to take it, those who have received money should open this strong gate, this Yunzhou is ours. ”
Once Lu Tingchen commanded the battle, he completely became a different person, originally a humble and gentleman-like figure, and became ruthless when he started fighting.
The soldiers patrolling the gate of Yunzhou City noticed that the number of Hu people who had come to do business had increased recently, but they did not pay attention to it. During this war, salt and grain were the same price, and the price of this war horse especially soared.
The Hu people in the north are good at raising war horses, and these Hu people all come to trade with war horses.
"Now the busiest person in our Yunzhou is the tax officer, you look at the recent arrival of so many Hu people with cattle, sheep and war horses to trade grain and salt." A soldier leaning against the city wall looked at the flow of people coming in and out of the city gate.
"That's not it, in addition to the tax paid, the rest is the money that Lord Taishou gave us to improve the food. Looking at this posture, at the end of the month, the adults will definitely invite us big guys to eat roast mutton. This warm cook is the best, and the fragrance can waft from the barracks to the city. While smacking his lips. It seems to be reminiscing about the long-lost aroma of roast mutton.
After hearing the soldier's words, the surrounding soldiers also remembered the taste of roast mutton with steamed buns during the Chinese New Year.
As the sun began to set, the officers on the city walls shouted to the people around them to leave quickly, and the gates were about to be closed. The soldiers on the walls looked out of the city, and a group of people who looked like merchants were approaching rapidly. But the governor had ordered the gates of the city to be sealed, and even if they were in a hurry, they could only sleep outside the city for one night.
The gate was gradually closing, but the group of people outside continued to speed up, as if they were trying to rush in before the gate closed. But no matter how fast the horse was, it could not keep up with the speed with which the gates were closed.
The soldiers on the city wall suddenly stopped early when they heard the familiar creak of the gate closing, how could the sound of the gate closing stop so early.
"Wonder what's going on with this brother down there?" Several soldiers on the city walls looked at each other, and one turned and walked to the staircase of the city gate to look down.
The scene in front of him made the soldier so frightened that he could not stand still and collapsed to the ground at once.
"Hey, what's wrong with you. Ahh A soldier looked at Ho, who was lying on the ground, and was ready to help him up.
"Brother down there, brother... Brothers are ........"
"Hey, what's wrong with my brother underneath? Not good! The Hu people below rebelled, and they opened the gates. The soldier said timidly. Almost all of the brothers below were killed by the Hu people with scimitars, and smoke and dust suddenly rose from behind the group of men and horses outside the city.
Experienced soldiers all know that it is a spectacle created by the war horse speeding at an accelerated gallop, "Is that the Hu Rao army?" I'm afraid that the people of Yunzhou will not be able to escape this catastrophe. A soldier lowered his head and sighed silently, this Hu people are basically seeking wealth, and the people here are probably good to save their lives.
"No, it's not. These people seem to be playing the banner of Lu characters. ”
"Did Lu Zhan from Yanzhou hit Yunzhou?"
"This should be Lu Tingchen's troops in Shuozhou, how can this Lu Zhan fight here."
The Hu people below put down the scimitars in their hands and said to General Lu. Behind Lu Tingchen, the cavalry like a tide drove into Yunzhou City.
The Taishou in the city had just put on the table a glass of wine to drink, and there were several plates of appetizers on the table.
"Oh, there is no war in Yunzhou, Mrs. came over to have a few drinks with her husband." While Taishou He and his wife were watching the sunset and drinking, there was a rush of footsteps outside.
Hearing such a voice, Taishou was slightly displeased. Who the hell is so bold as to disturb his own tranquility?
When I got up and was about to take a look at what was going on outside, I saw a bunch of soldiers wearing Lu family costumes.
"Ling Taishou, this Yunzhou has been controlled by me, this life or death is in your thoughts" After Lu Tingchen finished these words, there was nothing more.
In such a situation, no amount of words can interfere with the final decision.
Looking at his wife and four-year-old son behind him, "It means so, it's not a crime of war." Ling has surrendered, and the people of Yunzhou hope that General Lu can treat the people of Yunzhou well. ”
After finishing it, he summoned his subordinates to take out the big seal in his house and handed it to Lu Tingchen.
