"Generals, obviously the defenders of the capital have been closed four gates, the defenders in the city have reached 350,000, not too much, if our army attacks will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, you all know, the lord cherishes the lives of the soldiers, if the damage is too great, the commander will have no shame to see the lord. Do you have a plan to break the city? Yu Wenhua asked.
"Marshal, my million-strong army has surrounded the capital, cutting off the connection between the capital and everywhere, the army of the capital has become a lone army, you might as well surround him for a few days first, and then see." Li Jing got up and suggested.
"Hmmm! What General Daoxing said is that if the siege lasts for a long time, the hundred officials in the court and the central government will inevitably panic, and changes will inevitably occur in the city. "We'll besiege it first and wait to see what happens.
"Dashuai, there are three forces in the Imperial City now, one is the Imperial City Forbidden Army, led by the general Zhang Xun; One is the soldiers and horses of Yang Liang in Hanzhong, commanded by Gong Qi, a general under the King of Han, with a number of roughly 50,000; The last force is Zhang Xutuo, the commander of the Hongnong Army, where the weakest force is only 30,000 soldiers and horses, but the Hongnong soldiers are the strongest and most refined in the imperial city. If these three forces can be divided, the capital will be at your fingertips. Lord Bo Peiyun said.
"Hmmm! What Master Pei said is extremely true. In fact, the only one who really defends the city is the Imperial City Forbidden Army, and the Gong Qi Department of the Han Army will inevitably protect its own strength and will not fight easily. That Zhang Sutuo's Hongnong soldiers! Hehe! The destruction of the city is on the Hongnong soldiers. Yu Wenhua and confidently analyzed.
"Dashuai, when we conquered Tuyuhun last year, Mr. Yuwen was the closest to that Zhang Sutuo, can you persuade Zhang Bu to surrender?" Pei Yun guessed and said.
"Huh! Mr. Pei's eyes are poisonous! In front of the real person, he didn't tell lies, that Hongnong Zhang Xutuo was already a general under my lord's command, but he was entrusted by the lord to lie behind the enemy. Now, the main general of the South City Gate is Zhang Xutuo, how can there be any reason not to break the city? "Originally, Zhang Xutuo's defection to Yang Er was formed through Yu Culture and mediated by it. Zhang Xutuo was also ordered by the lord to lurk the princelings, and now it is time to play a role.
"Dashuai, shoot a letter arrow from the south city gate, which is obtained by patrolling the city, and is now presented to Dashuai." Off-the-books, the Chinese military colonel entered the house to report.
Yu Wenhua took the letter arrow and looked at it, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"Huh! Ben Shuai was not in a hurry, but he didn't want General Zhang Xutuo to make meritorious contributions, and he was more anxious than so. Yu Wenhua said lightly, all the generals in the tent didn't know what he meant, and they all looked at Yu Wenhua.
This letter is written by General Zhang Xutuo, the guard of the south gate of the imperial city, about the commander of the city 3 days later, he will respond to the internal response, and break through the capital in one fell swoop. Generals, with Zhang Xutuo as the internal response, are you still afraid that this city will not be owned by us? ”
"Hehehehehe! If the commander can use us, we will do our best. The generals represented by Wu Yunzhao said loudly.
"It's good to ask General Wu Yunzhao to avoid this battle. Your father's family now lives in the city, and if the general attacks the front, I am afraid that the family will be implicated, which is really not beautiful. This time the siege lord will be replaced by Luo Cheng, please General Luo to go down to prepare, 3 days later, the city gate will be opened, and rush into the city with all his might, for our army to enter the city to occupy the main gate position. ”
"Yes, sir. The last general loves to charge into battle, and it doesn't matter if he is not a pioneer first. ”
"Since ancient times, the war first salutes and then the soldiers, this marshal wants to go to the book Yang Yong, and he persuaded him to take the initiative to abdicate and hand over the jade seal. If you can, you don't have to make a big deal about it. ”
"Huh! If you don't want to compete with the big handsome, there is still Ling Zun in the palace of the lord and prince in the city, if Yang Yong doesn't obey, wouldn't he be angry? It is also necessary to implicate Yuwen Taifu in suffering, otherwise this letter will be written by this official. ”
Yu Wenhua and the others looked up, and it turned out that the person who spoke was Zhang Heng, the prison guard. At this moment, he was looking at Yu Wenhua with a smile on his face.
"Oh! If Zhang Jianjun can do it for him, it would be the best, then there would be labor. Yu Wenhua and seeing that it was Zhang Heng who spoke, how dare he refute it, they all knew that this Zhang Heng was specially sent to the army by the lord to monitor the main general, but to deal with the princeling's chaos such as the usurpation of the crown prince after breaking the capital. He took the initiative to write a letter to Yang Yong, which must have a deep meaning, and it was by no means something that he and his generals could suspect.
In the afternoon of the same day, a letter signed by Zhang Heng, the commander of the Hedong County Metropolitan Procuratorate, was tied to a bow and arrow and shot into the imperial city. The captain of the Imperial City Gate Guard who picked up the letter knew the importance of this letter, and hurriedly sent the letter to the palace in the capital without delay.
In the study room of the palace and the palace, Yang Yong was looking at this letter from Zhang Heng, with an expression of shock and anger on his face, and his face was blue and white.
"Humph! Zhang Heng dared to deceive! After reading the letter, Yang Yong got up angrily and threw the letter in his hand on the table. Yang Yong, who was angry for a while, paced to the window, looked up at the clouds flowing in the gloomy sky outside the window, and was silent for a long time.
Originally, the sun was like fire in the land of Guanzhong for several days, but for some reason after the imperial city was besieged, the temperature dropped, the sky was always densely covered with thick clouds, occasionally thunder rolling, occasionally a lightning flash, like the prelude to a torrential downpour, but never a raindrop fell.
"Ji Wei, go and call Uncle Huang, Su Xiaoci, Su Wei, and Han Hong to my study." Yang Yong whispered to Ji Wei, the eunuch at the door.
Soon, Yang Su and other 4 people came to Yang Yong's study one after another, and after taking a seat, Yang Yong handed Zhang Heng's letter to him and passed it to everyone.
"This letter was written by Zhang Heng an hour ago, and he shot an arrow into the city. This is to persuade me to abdicate and hand over the seal, which is simply an ultimatum to me. If I don't follow my words, the Jin army outside the city will attack the city, and after the city is broken, it will be --- alas! Let's see for yourself! Yang Yong said to the four people in a depressed and weak manner.
"Your Majesty, this is the ultimatum to declare war! The tone is so big that he doesn't take the 350,000 elites in my imperial city in his eyes at all. Su Wei was the first to exclaim after reading the letter, his eyes full of atmosphere and puzzlement.
"Yes! Your Majesty's letter is sharply worded, and we do not allow us to object. It can be seen that the soldiers of the King of Jin are ready to attack the city. Su Xiaoci also echoed and said.
"Your Majesty, this Zhang Heng was originally an official under Lao Chen, and he usually walked closest to King Jin. After King Jin was sent to Hedong last year, this Zhang Heng actually resigned and went to Luzhou, Hedong, and was Yang Guang's confidant. It's just that the king of Jin is not in the army, and whether this letter can represent the meaning of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, remains to be discussed. Han Hong looked at Yang Yong and Yang Su and added.
"Humph! Han is different! As far as the old man knows, this Zhang Heng is extremely used by the side of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, and if it is heartfelt, even the leading leader outside the city, Shuai Yu, is afraid of it. This person can often guess the heart of his lord Yang Guang, and he always slashes first and then plays, but he has never been punished by Yang Guang, but has risen step by step. Guo Yan, the former old man's friend Guanglu doctor, died in the hands of this liao, and not long ago 7 kings were burned to death by a fire, which was also handled by this person. This time with the army to attack my imperial city, this liao is in the position of supervising the army, even Yu Wenhua and also let it three points, it can be seen that the weight of this liao, the matters in the letter will be able to represent the meaning of Yang Guang, the king of Jin. It's just that this liao underestimated me and waited. Yang Su said fiercely to everyone.
"How should Uncle Huang reply to this letter?" Yang Yong asked.
"Humph! Your Majesty, why reply? Turning a blind eye is the best response. The old man wants to see how he attacks the city? ”
"But Uncle Huang, the letter mentioned that he was attacking the city with firearms in his army, wouldn't the imperial city be completely destroyed by then?"
"Your Majesty, don't listen to his wild words! This imperial city is strengthened year by year, and the city wall is as thick as two zhang and as high as ten zhang. Is it comparable to any other city? Besides, the old man didn't expect him to use firearms to attack the city. Firearms have no eyes, and it is very easy to injure innocents in the city, and if they are used, they will anger the people and lose their hearts. Mo said that this is the capital of the Great Sui, that is, Zhongzhou, Luoyang, and when he was surrounded by him, he did not see him use firearms. ”
"That being the case, the matter of defending the city is all up to Uncle Huang and Zhong Aiqing." Yang Yong said that he got up and bowed to a few people in the seat, so frightened that Yang Su and the four of them hurriedly got up and bowed in return. Afterwards, the four people walked out of the study.
After removing the hesitation and strengthening the intention to resist, Yang Yong was no longer as entangled as before, and his face was a little more relaxed.
"Your Majesty, today the old slave has selected two beauties for Your Majesty in the people, I don't know --- Your Majesty"
"Do you still need to ask? Sent to the harem dormitory, I will go over after I finish my official business here. ”
Just when the two armies in the capital were tense, the 250,000 Tang troops of Li Yuan in Jinyang quietly moved south under the leadership of Sanyuan Li Jing.
The Tang army moved, and the news had already been discovered by Luo Li, a thousand households in Jinyang, from the Hedong Military Intelligence Department. It was immediately sent to Puxian, Huoxian, Jiexiu and Yanmen, and was specially sent to Liu Wenjing, the military intelligence department in Luzhou.
After receiving the news that the Tang army was attacking south, the defenders in Puxian and other four places were ready to go to war. Xue Wanchun, the guard general of Yanmen, even launched a plan to send troops to attack from the east side of Jinyang to contain his troops going south. At this point, the war in the land of the Great Sui shifted from the Central Plains to the north.
Luoyang, Yang Erxing Palace.
At this time, the front hall of Yang Erxing Palace had been completely transformed according to the appearance of a large war room. A huge map of East Asia is painted on a curtain wall, and the existing borders of the Great Sui are clearly visible, as are the places of Nanchen, Liaodong, Korea, Dongying Japan, Indochina Peninsula, Taiwan, and the vast northern desert marked with Turkic characters.
Yang Er is now holding his arms and facing this map, excited and embarrassed in his heart. Excited that he has a heavy army in his hands and still has the weapons that lead with this era, and he is excited about the land of China that he has now and will have, of course, at this time in his eyes, Nanchen, Liaodong, and Taiwan have belonged to him. Unfortunately, although the vast land on the map is large enough and mostly borderlands, it is very difficult to occupy them all due to the limitations of the times.
"Alas! Don't even think about airplanes, the most difficult thing about cars and trains is the engine, and the steam engine locomotive that seems to have seen and sat in a coal-fired train when I was a child is not very difficult. Unless this transportation problem can be solved, you can only run as far as Genghis Khan to become a robber. Think about this steam engine, the principle has been learned, and Brother Ma also knows this principle. Oops! Headache! Headache! Let's wait until the territory that can be collected by the surrounding horseback marching army is collected! Yang Er looked at the map and thought that he had already flown far away. He even thought of the oil in the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, which could only be a slave to the people and had no national backbone, and Australia under his feet----
"Lord, Li Yuan sent troops south." Suddenly, Lu Zhaolin broke in and shouted, which startled Yang Er.
"My lord, please forgive me, Weichen is abrupt." Lu Zhaolin saw that Yang Er's whole body was shocked, knowing that he was frightened by himself, and hurriedly apologized.
"Huh! All right. Are you saying that Li Yuan was really ordered to use troops against this king? ”
"Yes, my lord. Li Yuan ordered Li Jing to be the commander, sent 250,000 troops to avoid Huo County and Jiexiu in the north of our Hedong, and went straight to Pu County, where only General Luo Song's 20,000 horses were garrisoned, and there were many gaps. Luoyang Qianhu Wang De, who entered the battle hall together, added.
"Huh! Li Jing! It turned out that he voted for Li Yuan, this is really fate! ”
"What did you say, lord? What life? Lu Zhaolin asked Yang Er puzzled.
"Oh! It's nothing. This king knows that this Li Jing is a person from Guanzhong Sanyuan, known as Sanyuan Li Jing, the word pharmacist. This man has great talents, and this king has recruited him, but he is unmoved. Now he went to vote for Li Yuan, this is the king who is not blessed to get Li Jing! Hence the sigh. ”
"My lord, judging from the direction of Li Jing's march, he is going to attack Puxian in Luosong, which is indeed a weak point in the defense line in the northeast of my river. Can Huo County Ding Yanping rush to Luo Song? ”
"Mr. Lu's specific use of troops, this king has already handed over to Pei Shiju, and this king does not want to interfere with Pei Gong's command. Besides, a few days ago, this king had ordered Wu Tianxi and Su Dingfang to gallop north to aid Luzhou, and his soldiers and horses there were enough to resist Li Jing's soldiers, but this Li Jing and Li Yaoshi's soldiers were extremely strange, and Pei Gongmo wanted his way. Yang Er looked at the direction of Li Jing's march on the map and said to Lu Zhaolin.
"My lord, isn't Li Yuan afraid of the Turks from the north when he moves his troops? What kind of benefits will Yang Yong promise Li Yuan? Let it come and make it an enemy of our Hedong. Lu Zhaolin asked Yang Er puzzled.
"That's a good question! With Li Yuan's character, if there is no great profit, it is not enough for him to move his troops south. Even if Li Jing can lead the troops again, it is impossible to occupy the king's Hedong County, and this time the troops are at most a containment of the king's siege of the capital. What benefits will this get from Yang Yong? Yang Er was also puzzled for a moment and fell into deep thought.
"Humph! No matter what benefits he can get, Li Yuan should know that there must be a price to pay for everything, Yang Yang. Yang Er didn't think about it anymore, and shouted the name of Yang Yang, the confidant outside the door.
"Master, the little one is here."
"Quickly send a capable person back to Luzhou, and order Pei Sima to completely block the road to Jinyang, so that one person and one thing from the Central Plains will not enter the boundary of Jinyang. The king will trap him, and let him know the price of being an enemy of this king, and go quickly. ”
"Yes, master." After Yang Yang agreed, he hurriedly ran out of the hall, and after a while, he saw a henchman outside the war hall leading a fast horse, turning over and rushing out of the house.
"Is there a battle report from the capital?" Yang Er asked Lu Zhaolin and Wang De.
"My lord, it is known that Yu Wenhua and the army have surrounded the capital on three sides, and the north gate has also been blocked by 100,000 horses and horses in Yuwen Chengdu. It is said that the old general Pei Renji, who was originally stationed in Shuofang City, was also persuaded by General Yuwen to take refuge in our Hedong, and now there is almost no Yang Yong in the north of the capital. Lu Zhaolin reported.
