Chapter 1322: Chongzhou (2)

Many years later, some historians have made this summary: the battle of Chongzhou in the Shuangqing period is a model in history of winning more with less, although Shi Yuan's behavior of using the people to "block the gun" is not advisable in itself, but as far as the war itself is concerned, it has to be admitted...... He's very clever.

After the Battle of Chongzhou, the overall situation of the world was basically determined, and the entire land of China began to enter a new period for you......

Of course, at this time, Shi Yuan didn't know that his influence would be so far-reaching. Coming to this point, it is not only that others did not expect it, but also himself...... It was also completely unexpected.

When Fan Guilai heard him say this, his heart began to waver: If the person in front of him is really Shi Yuan...... Then this Shi Yuan is really terrifying. This war, which the Beiqing Emperor and even the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers thought was won, was only afraid that it was going to be lost!

Qiao Cannon's meaning Shi Yuan understood, and he also knew that killing Fan Guilai was a foolproof strategy, because even if such a character surrendered, he was afraid that he had another plan. It's just that having said that, he has become a big villain in the eyes of the people of Chongzhou tonight, but he can't be wrong again and again. Therefore, he didn't speak, just looked at Fan Guilai, waiting for Fan Guilai's answer......

On the streets of Chongzhou City, there are certainly many people, but after the city gate is opened, all the people rush out like a river, and they all leave the city in a short time.

However, although these people went out of the city, they did not go far, after all, Chongzhou is their home, and so far tonight, there has been bad news, but they have not really seen the "murder and arson" of the Shuzhong army.

They met in Chongzhou City for three or four miles, looking at Chongzhou City from a distance. The emotions that had been stirred up before have also begun to stabilize......

In Chongzhou City, there are not many people left. There are more than 20,000 soldiers in Beiqing, who are still busy carrying grain and grass, and only a few people know that Fan Guilai is already in danger at this time. However, these very few people are Fan Guilai's cronies, and the news has not leaked out yet.

Sun Tingli, as the prefect of Chongzhou, was previously sent by Fan Guilai to open the water gate in the north of the city and was responsible for transporting grain and grass from the water gate. He was commanding well, but suddenly heard a commotion from the north of the city. I still wondered if the enemy was coming, but I was afraid, and I found out after this inquiry: Fan Guilai actually let people open the north gate and let the people in the city out of the city...... Moreover, it was the "Shuzhong Army" who attacked Chongzhou City! Assembled in the south of the city, they are already doing the murderous and arsonist thing!

Sun Tingli was just a civil official, he listened to Fan Guilai's words, and felt that there were not many people on the other side, and there were more than 20,000 people on his side, so he dared to stay in the city. Otherwise, it was really a big army, and he would definitely have to flee out of the city first.

And now, after hearing the news, Sun Tingli felt that he should go out of the city!

It's just that this kind of quiet escape can't be done blatantly in front of so many people.

"You continue to transport grain and grass, and I will go to General Xia Fan and ask about the situation." casually made an excuse and left the water gate in the north of the city, and he hurried back to his mansion.

Although he burned the backyard where he saved his wealth by going to water before...... But even if you are fleeing, you always have to take something with you. Besides, there are still wives and children at home......

It's just that what he didn't expect was that after returning to the Dao Mansion, the home was empty inside and out! This inevitably gave him some chills...... But now that his wife and children have left the city, it has also relieved him.

"It's strange, this Shu Chinese army has entered the city...... Isn't that slow? After tossing for a long time, why haven't you reached the north of the city yet? Sun Tingli sorted out his things, left the mansion, and was thinking about how to get out of the city, but he heard the silence in the city, and then he suddenly realized.

"That's not right! I'll have to go and see, and if it's okay, I'll run away and come back...... But I'm going to come back with my head up. "The government of a city, although it is a civil official, abandoned the city and fled when the city was broken...... According to the law of Daqing, it is a capital crime! Of course, if it reaches the level of breaking the city, no one will be held accountable for this kind of responsibility, but the premise is that the city must be broken.

Sun Tingli was still reluctant to give up his black gauze hat after all, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, so he hid his burden in a hidden place, so he hurriedly ran to find Fan Gui......

Fan Guilai is not here, it stands to reason that it will not be Xu Yunpiao's turn to speak, because of the affairs in the army and the arrangements of Fan Guilai's cronies. But Xu Yunpiao's performance was too eye-catching before, and she was escorted down by Fan Guilai's cronies...... The dignified Empress Beiqing is here, so it's not their turn to speak.

However, Xu Yunpiao didn't give any orders, just like Fan Guilai's cronies, they were all waiting for Fan Guilai to come back! In the entire Chongzhou City, there is only Fan Guilai who can stabilize the overall situation!

"General Fan, General Fan......" Everyone was waiting for Fan Gui to come in a complicated mood, this Fan Guilai did not wait, but waited for Sun Tingli, who came to find Fan Guilai.

"Master Sun, why is the truth so flustered?" Sun Tingli ran all the way, and in a hurry, he didn't see Xu Yunpiao who was riding a horse, until Xu Yunpiao asked him, and he reacted: It turned out that the queen mother was also here.

"The lower official knocked to see the queen's mother, and the lower official had something important to find General Fan, panicked for a while, lost his manners, and asked the queen to ......"

Sun Tingli saw Xu Yunpiao here, so he knelt on the ground and wanted to salute and admit his mistake, but before he finished speaking, Xu Yunpiao interrupted him: "Lord Sun, please get up!" In this case, these etiquettes should be waived! After a pause, "What is the important matter for you to find General Fan?" ”

"This ...... Just now, the junior officer heard that it was the Shuzhong army that attacked the city, and he thought about coming to General Fan to ask for attention. ”

"That's true in the city. But now things are uncertain, whether it is the Shu Zhongjun does not know. When General Fan comes back, he should know! ”

"General Fan...... Isn't he there? ”

"Hmm. Has Master Sun ever been home? Xu Yunpiao didn't want to say too much to the Chongzhou prefect, and now he can't let anyone in the army know about Fan Guilai's whereabouts. So she dealt with Sun Tingli, and hurriedly changed the conversation.

"Ah...... Haven't been back yet. Sun Tingli hesitated for a moment, then quickly shook his head. Originally, there was no problem with him answering yes or no, but he was a thief, so he was a little flustered.

"Then Lord Sun, you go back first, and arrange for the family to go out of the city for the time being!"
