A small colonel took two knights to beat their horses and ran to a short distance below the city gate, the small colonel planted the flag on the ground, and shouted to the city tower: "Listen to the people on the city tower, my general already knows that there are only a thousand defenders in the city, and the rest are all strong and vulnerable!" Now our army has 20,000 horses, the strength is more than 20 times that of you, if you want to resist our army's attack with this thousand horses, it is beyond your strength, my general Zhier and others are warriors, not afraid of death, but the people in the city are ordinary people, how innocent are they? If you wait to die, why do you have to pull them on your back?

Therefore, my general will give you a chance to live, give everyone in the city a chance to live, you can put down your weapons and open the city gate to surrender, everyone can live! ”

On the city tower, the county lieutenant couldn't help but look at the county order, "County Zun, what should I do?" ”

The prefectural order was silent.

Lord Bo pleaded with a sad face: "County Zun, our details have been clearly touched by others, and this battle is still like this?" How can this city be defended? Maybe now the general of the cadre army has a plan to break through the city, if we don't surrender, once they break the city in one fell swoop, we will all die and have no place to be buried! ”

The county commander looked at the lord with a cold face, and said coldly: "You are also a person who has read the books of sages for many years, are you so greedy for life and afraid of death?" Have you eaten so many years in vain? Did the court raise you for nothing? ”

Lord Bo knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed repeatedly, "County Zun, it's not that the lower officials are greedy for life and afraid of death, and the lower officials dare to ask the county honor, what's the point of dying now?" I waited for the whole family to be in the city, after the city was broken, not only would I die, but they would also be spared, we would die if we died, but it affected the family!

The county respected and looked at the soldiers and people guarding the city around him, how dare they fight to the death with the cadres? The difference in strength is too great, and it is not loyalty, but stupidity to hold on in such a situation! It's looking for death! ”

The county commander was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently, pointing at the master and wanting to scold but couldn't scold, and then turned his head to look at the soldiers and generals around him, these people had no morale at all, and even many people were trembling, and only beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

After thinking for a while, the county commander said loudly to the junior colonel of the Qianjun who shouted under the city: "This official is the county commander of Fuxian County, and the general's proposal, this official needs to consider it before replying!" ”

The colonel of the cadre army under the city shouted loudly: "Give you a day to think about it, if you don't surrender by this time tomorrow, our army will attack the city, and then all the jade and stones will be burned, and there will be no chickens and dogs!" ”

After speaking, the junior colonel of the Qianjun pulled the reins and hit the horse and turned away.

Zhao Junsheng heard the conversation just now, he thought about it, turned his head and beckoned Nie Feihu to ask, "How many craftsmen do we bring from Zitong City?" ”

Nie Feihu replied: "Back to Your Majesty, there are about thirty people!" ”

"Carpenter geometry?"

"Sixteen!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded and ordered: "Send a team of people to cut down trees, let the carpenters prepare to build siege equipment, let them rush to work overnight, I will be able to let the army attack the city tomorrow morning!" ”

"Yes!"

After Nie Feihu agreed, he immediately went to arrange for people to cut down trees, he was particularly active in this battle, there were only a thousand people in the city, those people were all rabble, which could be ignored, and these thousand people also guarded the four city walls, and there were only about two hundred people scattered to each city wall, because the defenders also had to arrange manpower to be responsible for the security of the city, and it was impossible to pull all a thousand people to the city wall.

Using 3,000 people to attack a city guarded by only 1,000 people, in Nie Feihu's opinion, this siege task is simply not too simple, as long as you make a feint on three of them, disperse the opponent's forces, and really fight on the remaining side of the city wall, the other party will definitely not be able to withstand it for long, this battle is too easy to make meritorious contributions.

As the felling team was dispatched, the trees were transported to the camp of the cadres on the south bank of Fushui, and the craftsmen began to set up siege equipment, which was clearly seen by the Liu Song defenders on the wall of Fuxian County.

The county lieutenant, who originally advocated holding on, saw the cadres building siege equipment with great fanfare at this time, and knew that the cadres were not scaring them, but were really there, and they regretted it at the moment.

"It seems that the cadres really plan to attack the city tomorrow!"

Lord Bo cried loudly and said to the county order: "County Zun, surrender, look at this posture, the cadres are really planning to attack the city, what else do we have to be lucky?" Could it be that Cheng County Zun really wants to die with his family in this Fuxian County? ”

At this time, the soldiers and the people knelt down one after another, and in the blink of an eye, a large area of the city wall was already kneeling.

"You, you······ You are forcing your own officials to be the disloyal and unrighteous people! ”

The county commander was forced to retreat, so he had to say: "Well, we still have one day to think about it, if there are no reinforcements before the Qianjun army attacks the city tomorrow morning, this official will order surrender!" ”

Everyone on the walls breathed a sigh of relief.

In the afternoon, the ministers and ministers who accompanied the car finally arrived at the camp on the north bank of Fushui.

They met Zhao Junsheng as soon as possible, and in view of their bumpy and tiring journey, Zhao Junsheng asked them to rest first.

After dinner, Zhao Junsheng convened the ministers accompanying him to discuss the matter.

"According to the information we have collected so far, there are 18,000 Liu Song troops in the entire Shu region, but most of them are scattered in various places or sent out to pacify and suppress the rebellion of the displaced people, as the capital of Shu, Chengdu Mansion has only 3,000 defenders, and Mianzhu is only 1,000 people.

The ministers who accompanied the driver then stood up one by one to express their thoughts, and some advocated fighting fast, killing the city of Chengdu as quickly as possible, and then scattering the attack after breaking through Chengdu.

There are also people who advocate that the periphery of Chengdu Mansion should be attacked first, attack from the outside to the inside, and then finally attack Chengdu Mansion after all the territory of Bashu is taken.

Some people even advocated taking the traffic arteries into Sichuan as quickly as possible, holding the choke point, and then rushing straight to Chengdu Mansion to encircle and send reinforcements.

Zhao Junsheng considered it comprehensively, in view of the current shortage of troops, for the time being, it was decided to hit Chengdu Mansion as quickly as possible, and solve the military strength of Liu Song's army in Shu with the tactics of encircling and sending reinforcements, so that there was no need to storm Chengdu Mansion, and there was no need to divide troops to attack the cities of Shu, as long as Chengdu Mansion was surrounded, Liu Song's army from all over Sichuan and Shu would continue to come to help.

If the Southern Dynasty wants to raise troops to reinforce Sichuan and Shu, the only channel is to take the waterway, and it is necessary to send troops from Jiankang, and other places are not without soldiers, but the troops are relatively scattered and difficult to concentrate, so the time required to send troops from Jiankang to reinforce Sichuan and Shu is not a day or two, from preparing grain and grass to gathering troops to pull out, until entering Shu, which will take at least two months.

In these two months, Zhao Junsheng had enough time to win all of Sichuan and Shu, and even further expand the results.

Zhao Junsheng thought about the next strategic deployment and asked, "National Teacher, where are the first batch of soldiers and horses drawn from Guanzhong now?" How many people are there? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, you should have entered the realm of Hanzhong, and there are about two thousand people in the first batch!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at the map and thought about it for a while, and gave an order: "Pass the order, order the various groups of troops drawn from Guanzhong to assemble in naturalization!" Sent a decree to Nan Zheng, ordering Lu Shuang to go to naturalization to receive, assemble and train the various batches of soldiers and horses that have arrived, and wait for my will! Give Lu Xuan an order, and the follow-up grain and grass must keep up! ”

According to Zhao Junsheng's meaning, it is actually more than enough to take the entire Sichuan with the existing troops, and the key is to prevent the counterattack of the Southern Dynasties, and the only way for the Southern Dynasties to counterattack is to take the Three Gorges waterway into Sichuan, so Zhao Junsheng arranged for all the troops drawn from Guanzhong to be concentrated in naturalization, and Lu Shuang led the whole training.

Early the next morning, Zhao Junsheng once again led the army to arrive at the city of Fuxian, a large number of siege equipment was carried out, and thousands of siege soldiers were ready to rush to the city wall at any time.

Zhao Junsheng was riding on horseback, the sun had already risen from the horizon, and in this kind of weather, once the sun rose, the temperature would soar directly.

Zhao Junsheng couldn't wait any longer, and ordered: "Order the siege echelons, give them a moment to prepare, and prepare to attack the city after a moment!" ”

As the order was conveyed, a long series of horns sounded, and more than 3,000 Liangzhou garrison troops began to make preparations for the siege, some inspected the equipment, some inspected the siege equipment, and some made psychological adjustments.

All the defenders on the upper floor of Fuxian County were about to go crazy when they saw this posture, and the county order still did not give the order to surrender.

Just when the lord Bo was about to take a knife to cut the county order, the county order finally opened his mouth and ordered: "Forget it, the matter has come to this point, and it is indeed the way to bring about your own destruction!" Ladies and gentlemen, come down with me, lay down your weapons, open the gates and surrender! ”

The time of the moment soon came, and when Zhao Junsheng was about to give the order to attack the city, the city gate opened, and some officials came out with the defenders, and they threw weapons at the city gate.

"Your Majesty, the defenders of Fuxian have surrendered!"

Zhao Junsheng put down his hand and ordered: "Stop the siege, Nie Feihu, you take people to receive the generals and troops, and enter the city to take over the city defense!" ”

Nie Feihu was quite disappointed, and hated that these guards and defenders were spineless, if he persisted, he could lead his troops to attack and break the city, and the great achievement was in hand, these timid officials and defenders of the Southern Dynasty were simply a good thing for him.

There was basically no obstacle from Fuxian to Mianzhu, and the distance was not long, so Zhao Junsheng ordered Yang Lie to lead three thousand cavalry to attack Mianzhu as quickly as possible.

Yang Lie took the order, ordered 3,000 cavalry, and had Jiang Hui, a black-clothed guard spy, as a guide, to kill Mianzhu as quickly as possible.

Although Liu Songjun of Mianzhu had learned that Fuxian had been approached by the cadres and soldiers, he did not expect that the cadres would come so quickly, and they were killed by the cadres in less than two days.

The officials and defenders of Mianzhu have never seen such a huge number of cavalry, and the three thousand cavalry is already an astronomical number in the eyes of the officials and defenders of Sichuan and Shu, who have never seen many cavalry in their lives.

When Yang Lie arrived at the city of Mianzhu with 3,000 cavalry, the banner of the Southern Dynasty on the head of the city had been taken down, and soon the city gate was opened, and the officials led the defenders out of the city to surrender.

Yang Lie didn't expect these Liu Song defenders to be so obedient this time, which greatly surprised him, and immediately sent someone to receive the prisoners and the city defense, and sent someone to report the situation to Zhao Junsheng.
