Xiangyang City was broken, Zhang Bin bombarded it with artillery for less than half a day, and the defender Zhang Jun opened the city and surrendered!

Zhang Jun also exchanged the silver and grain in the city for freedom, and then ran away without a trace with the gold and silver treasures he had looted.

When the news reached Gucheng, Zhang Xianzhong gritted his teeth angrily, this thing is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, if you hold on for a while, you will die, for half a day, the arrow stacks on the city wall have not been flattened, I'm afraid of a fart!

He really can't wait to run back and catch Zhang Junyong, chop it into minced meat and feed it to the dogs!

Now it's okay, the officers and soldiers will chase to Gucheng in three days at most, what to do with the mountains of gold, silver, jewelry and grain, he will not be naïve to think that he can hold Gucheng with an army of 100,000, the fierceness of the officers and soldiers' artillery, even the world's most powerful city Xiangyang can not withstand it, Gucheng is a small county like a fart, and it will be bombarded into scum in minutes.

He knew that Gucheng could not be defended at all, so he moved all the gold and silver treasures here, mainly because it was close to Daba Mountain, and he wanted to hide most of the gold and silver treasures in Daba Mountain near Gucheng, and then take his men through Daba Mountain and flee to Sichuan to get rid of this terrible group of officers and soldiers behind.

He has already found out clearly, the officers and soldiers are so heavy that these cannons are cumbersome, and it is difficult to pull them on flat ground, so they are basically transporting them by boat, if they can cross the Daba Mountain, this group of officers and soldiers is likely to be thrown off by themselves, even if they can't get rid of this group of officers and soldiers, they can also lead those terrible artillery, because it is impossible for the bulky artillery to pull over the mountains and mountains.

He was looking for a treasure hiding place near Gucheng in the past two days, originally he thought that Zhang Jun could use it for at least two or three days, causing some trouble to the officers and soldiers, and with this time, he could hide most of the gold and silver treasures, and then escape with his 100,000 troops, but he didn't expect that Zhang Jun used this useless thing and didn't hold on for half a day.

How can he hide the treasure now, it will take at least two or three days to hide the treasure, and when he finishes hiding the treasure, the officers and soldiers will surround him, and he can't run away if he wants to.

What to do, what to do, he was anxious to pacing back and forth in the hall of Gucheng County for a long time, and he really couldn't think of any way, so he could only yell outside: "Quick, go and invite Mr. Hu to come." ”

This Mr. Hu's name is Hu Lipu, originally a doctor in Youfang, and later followed Zhang Xianzhong, because of his outstanding resourcefulness, so he was invited by Zhang Xianzhong to be a strategist.

Hu Lipu arrived soon, and Zhang Xianzhong was not verbose, and asked directly: "Mr. Hu, do you have any way to delay the officers and soldiers for a few days?" ”

Hu Lipu really didn't understand what he said, he hurriedly asked: "King, I don't know where you want to delay the officers and soldiers, and how many days do you want to delay." ”

Zhang Xianzhong hurriedly explained: "Just let the officers and soldiers stay in Xiangyang City for three or four days." ”

It turned out that this was the meaning, Hu Lipu thought for a while, and then arched his hand and said: "King, this is not difficult, you just need to use the trick of deception." ”

Fraud?

Can it still be done?

This Zhang Bin is not Xiong Wencan, it seems that Luo Rucai also used a trick to surrender in Wuchang City, but Zhang Bin didn't pay attention to it at all, and directly frightened Luo Rucai to surrender with a bombardment, and he also played tricks with him to surrender, isn't this a joke?

It's no wonder that people can be fooled!

Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help but wonder: "I'm afraid this trick is not good, Luo Rucai has done it all, and the result is not a bombardment." ”

Hu Lipu hurriedly explained: "King, this deception is not another deception, don't you want to delay time, we can talk to that Lord Zhang, no matter what conditions he prescribes, we all say that we need to think about it, this consideration, won't three or four days pass?" ”

Can this also be done?

Zhang Xianzhong said with a little emptiness: "I'm afraid that I can't bluff that Zhang Bin, right?" ”

Hu Lipu said confidently: "If the king is not at ease, his subordinates are willing to go to Xiangyang City, and ensure that they can delay for the king for three or four days." ”

Everyone is willing to take risks in person, it seems that there should be no problem, Zhang Xianzhong discussed with him for a while, and then wrote a letter according to his "plan", and immediately sent a fast horse to Xiangyang to send it to that Lord Zhang.

The general meaning of the letter is: Lord Zhang, don't be impulsive, if you have something to say, I surrender, I really surrender, I will immediately send my chief military advisor to talk to you, and if you have any requirements, just tell him.

Zhang Bin was really stunned by Zhang Xianzhong's letter, he could ask for anything, could he ask him to hand over the military power, and then go to the capital to serve, would he also agree?

It's impossible, he's not an idiot, if he really hands over the military power and then stupidly runs to the capital to take up a post, he will definitely be cut by Chongzhen with a thousand knives, he can think of this with his ass.

He dug up the emperor's ancestral grave, and it was strange that the emperor could spare him.

Zhang Bin knew that this guy was not so stupid, he must be trying to play some tricks.

If Zhang Bin really wanted to clean him up, he would definitely respond on the surface, and then suddenly bring people around him and do him a handful!

Question: Now Zhang Bin doesn't want to clean him up, okay, let's pretend to be a trick and see what tricks this thing wants to play.

As a result, this wait was one day, because Hu Lipu, the chief military advisor under Zhang Xianzhong, could not ride a horse, so he could only come by carriage, nearly two hundred miles away, and it was not strange that the carriage ran for a day, and it was not until the afternoon of the next day that Hu Lipu hurried to Xiangyang City.

Zhang Bin pretended to be a planner, warmly received the chief military advisor, gave him a seat, served tea, and entertained him well, and then asked curiously: "General Zhang really agrees to any conditions." ”

Hu Lipu laughed secretly in his heart, he thought that Zhang Bin had been tricked, so he hurriedly fooled: "This, as long as the conditions are not too harsh, our king should agree." ”

Zhang Bin also laughed secretly in his heart, I really am an idiot, he pretended to be stupid and said: "That's okay, I'll give General Zhang an official position in the imperial court, ask him to hand over his men and horses immediately, and then go to Beijing to take up a post, how about it?" ”

What do you think?

Of course not!

Hu Lipu pretended to be a little harsh: "This, it seems a bit too harsh, I don't know if our king will agree, or I should go back and ask our king first?" ”

Zhang Bin didn't seem to have any doubts, he nodded without hesitation and said, "That's okay, you go back and ask General Zhang, let him make a decision quickly, this official doesn't have much time to wait." ”

Hu Lipu nodded repeatedly, got up and left, and this first negotiation was over.

Zhang Bin seemed to have really fallen into a trick, and after sending Hu Lipu away, he waited in Xiangyang City, without any intention of attacking Gucheng.

This Zhang Xianzhong seemed to be very positive, Hu Lipu had just returned, and he sent someone to hurry over and tell Zhang Bin that he needed to think about it and ask Zhang Bin for a few days.

It turned out to be delaying time, Zhang Bin sent him away quietly, and then secretly ordered Zhang Cha and Zhao Ru to closely monitor Zhang Xianzhong's every move, and once he started to run away, he would come back and report immediately.

He wanted to let Zhang Xianzhong go, but the meaning of this release was not to let him go with his 100,000 troops, but to leave most of his main force behind, and let him escape with a small part of the main force, so as not to be difficult to clean up in the future.

This scale must be grasped well, you can't accidentally kill him, and you can't let him easily lead 100,000 horses to run, the posture of pursuit has to be made, and if you can't catch him, you can't catch him, but most of his main force has to be taken.

Zhang Xianzhong really thought that Zhang Bin had a plan, and after he hurriedly hid most of the gold and silver treasures, he took an army of 100,000 and more than 100,000 stones, grains and grass, and some silver, all the way to the direction of Zhushan.

As soon as he set off, a valley in the south of Gucheng sprang out quickly, ran to a hidden place by the river, and rode all the way to Xiangyang on the wheels that had already stayed there.

The wheels went down the river, the speed was simply amazing, less than an hour, Zhang Bin had received the news, he hurriedly led the 90,000 troops that had been prepared to go straight to Gucheng, as for Xiangyang City, he left Li Dingguo and his subordinates 10,000 horses to garrison.

At this time, the terrifying speed of the Fuguang army was reflected, everyone sat on the chariot and drove the horses at a gallop, and within a day, they had arrived in Gucheng, and Zhang Xianzhong's side, because there was too much grain and grass, and some silver, so the speed was surprisingly slow, and it was only seventy or eighty miles a day.

He also thought that the officers and soldiers were still the officers and soldiers of the past, and they could catch up with him for more than 100 miles in a day, and it would take at least four days to catch up with him, and at that time, he had already entered Daba Mountain, and the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, and at that time, it would be even more difficult for the officers and soldiers to catch up with him, but he never thought that in less than two days, the officers and soldiers would catch up with him.

This guy, the equipment of these officers and soldiers is simply too good, not only the muskets are scary, but the tiger squat cannon is also scary, he was forced to helpless, he can only leave 50,000 foot soldiers behind, and 50,000 cavalry are pulling silver and food, crazy to the depths of Daba Mountain.

These 50,000 foot soldiers were a dish in front of the Fuguang army, which was equipped with thousands of tiger squat cannons and tens of thousands of flintlock guns.

You can't fight this battle, people can hit you, you can't hit people, there are artillery and flintlock pistols, they don't even have a chance to fight back, they can only be beaten passively, and they fart!

As a result, 50,000 foot soldiers blocked for less than an hour, and the officers and soldiers caught up again, Zhang Xianzhong had no choice but to leave 30,000 elite cavalry after the break, and all the silver, grain and grass were thrown to these 30,000 cavalry, and he led the remaining 20,000 elite cavalry to run away.

In the face of an astonishing number of muskets and artillery, there was not much difference between cavalry and infantry, and in less than an hour, the 30,000 elite cavalry after the break were surrendered, no way, the officers and soldiers were too fierce in firepower, they were beaten into a hornet's nest before they could rush up, and this battle could not be fought at all.

However, fortunately, after Zhang Bin confiscated the silver, grain and grass left by Zhang Xianzhong, he rushed back to Gucheng with the captives.

It seemed that he couldn't continue the pursuit with so much silver, grain and grass and prisoners, but in fact, if he really wanted to kill them all, he could just send 20,000 or 30,000 horses to watch the silver, grain and prisoners, and the remaining 50,000 or 60,000 horses could still chase after them.

However, Zhang Xianzhong only has 20,000 horses left at this time, this scale is just right, and if he chases down, only a dozen horses are left to chase people into the mountains, and it will be difficult for him to recover, so Zhang Bin simply gave up the pursuit and turned around.
