Zhang Jun gave the military order to attack Di Dao, and the generals were very excited. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info two regular battles in a row, although the Liang army did not damage many soldiers, but the military merits are not enough to fill everyone, the soldiers are divided into fields according to the head, and the generals are promoted to the rank with military merits, many people have followed so far, and no one has been cut off, how can they be willing, so everyone is still thinking about conquering another city,.

Zhang Jun looked at the tower of Caohan City for a while, and remembered the enemy general who didn't let him shoot him a few days ago, and he didn't have any hatred in his heart. Unless he voluntarily asks for surrender, it will be a dead end. At this time, the city of Caohan was full of Liang troops, swaggering and passing under their noses, I don't know how the enemy general would feel when he saw such a situation at this time······

The generals of the Jinxing Prefecture army will lead the way to the camp and hand over the defense.

Zhang Jun handed over the siege fortifications of Caohan City to the Jinxing Mansion Army, and waited until a large number of reinforcements came from the main road, which was considered to be relieved. However, a little comforting thing was that he saw many ladders and siege vehicles being dragged up by people, and said in his heart: It seems that he is not the only one who has no way to break the city, even the veteran Han Pu siege the city by climbing the wall.

In the afternoon, Zhang Jun and the conquest army began to march along Baiyun Road to Lintao.

There was nothing to do all the way, and when he arrived at Lintao, Zhang Jun followed Chen Zhen's suggestion and left a total of 1,000 people from the left battalion of the Hujie Army and a total of 2,000 people from the first part of the Crane Army to garrison with a group of people, and he himself personally led the rest of the men and horses to approach Di Dao without stopping.

At this time, the intelligence that the Liang army had been attacking the east and west, and the main force was west of Taoshui, had also been sent to the desk of Hu Yanyu, the assassin of Qinzhou. In ancient warfare, unless there was clear information, it could only rely on the general to guess, and this was not because the level of Hu Yanwei was not good, but because the delay in information would inevitably lead to mistakes in decision-making. So in the face of the previous misjudgment, Hu Yanwei did not panic, he called Li Laza, the commander of Longxi County, and reformulated the combat deployment.

As the saying goes, "it's not too late to make amends". Hu Yanwei easily judged that the next goal of the Liang army was to capture Di Dao to cut off its back road, so he sent 5,000 elite soldiers back to defend, and when Zhang Jun first arrived in Lintao, these reinforcements had already been stationed in Di Dao, but Zhang Jun didn't know it yet.

As soon as the scouts of the Liang army arrived near Didao, they saw a dozen horsemen coming from the west and rushed into the city of Didao.

The Liang Jun scouts didn't have time to react, they could only watch from afar, of course they didn't know that there were big people in that small group. One of the generals is none other than the general under the command of Qinzhou Assassin Shi Hu Yanyu - Li Laza, the county guard of Longxi!

Li Lazha also saw the Liang army scouts from a distance, and couldn't help sighing: "If we leave a little late for half a day, we will definitely be blocked outside the gate of Didao City!" The Liang army is too fast, this has already hit Di Dao? ”

The entourage beside him scolded: "The guards of Caohan City, Ilke, and the Lintao guard, Cao Wenzhu, are all straw bales, and they have lost most of the west of Taoshui in less than ten days!" If Di Dao makes another mistake, the road is gone, and our Qinzhou army is afraid that they will be made dumplings! ”

Li Lazha said: "This battle is really aggrieved, in previous years, we pressed the Liang army and beat it hard, but now it is the other way around." I heard that the forward of the Liang army is called Zhang Jun, this person is unusual, he is the major general of Liangzhou. He slipped away under our noses last winter, making the Qinzhou army unable to account for the emperor! ”

Li Lazha was ordered by Hu Yanyu to preside over the defense of Didao, and no one expected that the situation would deteriorate so quickly, and there was no emergency plan at all, so he could only make a temporary decision. Fortunately, as the county guard of Longxi, he knows all the important towns under his jurisdiction, otherwise he may not be able to do it for a while if he changes to others. Li Laza did not dare to delay after receiving the order, and immediately handed over the military affairs in his hand, and only took a dozen guards to run wildly overnight, and finally arrived before the arrival of the Liang army.

However, compared to Li Laza, it was Liu Dongliang who moved faster, this eunuch who had been in the deep palace for many years fled for thousands of miles, and it didn't take long for him to arrive in Chang'an. Most of the Han troops who escorted him were scattered halfway, and he ran so fast that even the staff around him disappeared.

Liu Dongliang rode alone to Chang'an. With no one to take care of him, he was covered in dirty clothes and embarrassed. Such a man rode on horseback, and was questioned at the inns and at the gates of the city. The officials everywhere knew that it was the emperor's own supervisor who rode back, and rumors spread for a while, and people thought that the Liang army was about to hit the door. Liu Dongliang walked all the way, which made the officials and people along the way panic.

As soon as he reached the city gate, he saw a eunuch with a face and a group of soldiers waiting there. The eunuch said, "The emperor wants to see you, come with us." ”

Liu Dongliang said: "It's too rude to face the saint like this, let me go back to the palace to change my clothes." ”

The eunuch said coldly: "You are in a hurry like this, and sometimes you change your clothes?" Is it a military affair that matters, or is it the number of etiquette that matters? Let's go! ”

Liu Dongliang had no choice but to go to the palace in embarrassment, and when he walked to the front of the main hall, he saw the guards and the ministers and palace people inside looking sideways. He drooped his head, walked in dejectedly, and hurriedly fell down on His Highness, and there was a man sitting on the throne in the distance, how dare he look?

Liu Yao, the emperor of the Xiongnu Han Kingdom, has been in poor health recently, and his face is a little pale. In early summer, I was caught by a cold and a cold, and although it was not a serious illness, it has not improved so far. is different from the rumors of time, Liu Yao is not a reckless man with a sideways face, but like a well-mannered scribe. If it weren't for the killing aura that can't be erased, I'm afraid no one would think that he was the overlord of the generation that made the entire northern land tremble.

Liu Yao has long known about this Liu Dongliang, such a minion, even if he is favored, he will kill him. But this person is still a powerful person by the side of the Queen of the Sheep, and the Queen is still pregnant with her fourth child. So Liu Yao endured and endured, but he didn't mean to kill Liu Dongliang.

He just asked, "You slave, what is happening ahead?" ”

Liu Dongliang's mind was blank, lying on the ground without saying a word, and he really didn't know how to speak.

A minister said angrily: "The emperor asked you!" ”

"Slave ······" Liu Dongliang hurriedly said, "Slave······ The slave doesn't know ······"

Liu Yao has been fighting horses all his life, and he really didn't pay attention to the things that happened in Liangzhou. At present, the people who are dealing with the Zhang family are all government army Han'er, and the real Hun iron cavalry has never been dispatched. He believed that no matter how much land the Zhang clan occupied in Longxi, as long as the wind was released and he said that he was going to raise a personal expedition by the Chinese army, then the Zhang clan would have to get out of the way, whether it was land or population, not only would they have to spit it out, but they would even have to return it twice.

This is not arrogance, but the self-confidence of an emperor who looks at the world.

He asked in a mocking tone, "I sent you to inspect Qinzhou, but you didn't go?" ”

"Went to ······ The slave and maid went. Liu Dongliang felt the emperor's anger, and his body began to tremble under fear.

Liu Yao's majestic voice said again: "Then you ran back like this, Qinzhou has been lost?" ”

"I don't know, the slave really doesn't know!" Liu Dongliang cried.

"Rubbish!"

Seeing him behaving like this, Liu Yao had no thoughts, waved his hand to let the guards fork him down, and said coldly: "Send an envoy to Liangzhou Zhang Mao and ask him about the offense." Let him withdraw immediately, and pay millions of dollars and 500,000 grains. If not, I will hunt on the banks of the river and fetch them myself! ”

·······················

Seeing that the season is about to enter June, the weather is still so hot.

Zhang Jun stood on the edge of the Tao River and looked around, between the west is an endless wilderness, the field is verdant and green, the sky is blue and the river water is clear, the Longxi Plain is really a good place in this era, which is conducive to farming and convenient transportation. It is no wonder that in history, all the separatist regimes that founded the country in Liangzhou had to fight to the death with the Guanzhong dynasty, and the two sides even did not hesitate to invest the whole country to compete for this land.

The men and horses were endless, and the soldiers in front marched neatly, "Ka······ Ka······ ······" The sound is closely combined with the drum beat, and it is very rhythmic.

In this way, the whole army came closer to the city of Didao and came to the west of the city. Zhang Jun observed all the way, this Didao City is indeed treacherous: it is known as guarding the Tao River, directly built on the edge of the Tao River, one side is water, the other side is the continuous high mountains, there is no possibility of detouring at all.

What's more, the walls of Didao are very tall and have a very wide moat, which really took a lot of effort to build this city.

Getting closer, Zhang Jun saw countless bed crossbows and trebuchets set up on the city wall, as well as many equipment with spikes, which were used to prevent the enemy from climbing the city wall. In this situation, Zhang Jun's scalp suddenly went numb, and he said in his heart: "This bad fact can't be done, unless the captive army is filled in, there is really no possibility of breaking the city." ”

Zhang Jun invited Chen Zhen and other generals to discuss the matter and asked how to break the city.

Chen Zhen said directly: "If the Metropolitan Governor does not want to attach soldiers to the city, then he can only surround Di Dao City, and when its food is exhausted, it will naturally not be attacked." ”

How much time does it take to starve each other to death?

Zhang Jun couldn't accept such a method at all. If there is enough food in the city of Didao to eat for three years, will it not be possible to wait for three years?

Hu Shuo on the side couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "The Metropolitan Governor cherishes the lives of his soldiers, but we can't take our lives too seriously, are you still afraid of death after eating this mouthful of food?" ”

Zhang Jun felt uncomfortable, and looked back at the generals and said: "They are all raised by their mothers and fathers, if the method of ant attachment is adopted, the casualties must be not small." Our conscription army has a thin foundation and can't afford to withstand such a toss. Besides, after returning to Guangwu County after the war, the villagers asked the governor of Bendu if he wanted a husband and a son, what did the governor say? ”

Just when he was scratching his head in worry, Zhang Jun suddenly thought of the trebuchet at the head of Di Dao City, and suddenly clapped his hands and shouted: "Why did you forget it!" ”

There are already a lot of torsion catapults in Guangwu County, but they didn't bring them with them on this rapid march. If a torsion stone machine is used to attack the city with water and fertilizer (oil), Zhang Jun can no longer imagine the picture.

Didn't you hide in the shell of the turtle, then Lao Tzu will roast you to death with fire!

He immediately ordered: "The Pegasus herald will be the superintendent to ask for three precepts, and bring me the torsion stone machine by water, as well as water and fertilizer, the more the better!" ”

··························

In the big tent of the Chinese army in Qinzhou, the atmosphere was a little depressing. Now everyone knows that the more than 5,000 Liang troops in front of them have been confirmed to be the partial division of the feint, and they have been tricked.

At present, the west of Taoshui is no longer owned by the Han State, and the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse when Caohan is besieged and loses contact, and Lintao directly opens the door to surrender to the enemy. What's more, Di Dao is also facing the attack of the Liang army, and the entire Longxi is in danger of overturning.

Fortunately, Li Laza, the county guard of Longxi, has personally gone to Di Dao to preside over the defense, this person is a veteran general in the army, and there will be no more mistakes.

One of the generals asked, "General, now that the situation is unfavorable to our army, do you want to retreat?" ”

Without waiting for Hu Yanwei to answer, the other person objected: "Retreat? Withdraw at this time, if it sounds good, it is called a strategic shift, and if it is ugly, it is a fucking run! Absolutely not! ”

It was Chen An, the county guard of Nan'an, who spoke, who was also Han Chinese, but he was the toughest, and he had always advocated sweeping Liangzhou by force.

Hu Yanyu patted the table case and said: "There is no need to withdraw, since they want to fight Di Dao, then let them fight, I don't believe it, there are still people in this world who can break Di Dao City!" ”

After saying that, he waved his hand and said: "It is rumored that the soldiers of the three armies, the whole army will gather out of the camp early tomorrow morning, and do not stop after breaking the enemy in front of them, and occupy Yuzhong for the general." ”

"No!" The generals commanded.

When the rest of the people dispersed, Chen An was left alone and asked Hu Yanyu: "General, why do you want to take Yuzhong?" ”

Hu Yanwei sighed and said, "This battle is a defeat no matter what, Jincheng and Jinxing are both strong cities, and it is too difficult to take them." If you want to look better on the surface, you can only pick up soft persimmons and pinch them. We have only been abandoned in Yuzhong for a short time, it is an inconsequential small place, and the Liang army will not fight us to the death. ”

Chen An nodded and said, "After recovering Yuzhong, although this battle was lost, there is also an explanation." ”

Hu Yanyu shook his head and said, "The imperial court doesn't trust Han'er, and His Majesty the Emperor can't just go his own way." If it is not bad as expected, after the end of this battle, I am afraid that the history of this assassin will return home. ”

Chen An's heart jumped when he heard Hu Yanwei say this. He and Li Lazha are the second only to Huyanyu in Qinzhou, and once Huyanyu leaves, the successor will be ten······ There are ······· VIII. ······ Nine will be chosen from among the two of them!

As a northern Han, he climbed all the way to the position of the county guard in the court of the Huns, and only he knew how much Chen An had suffered, since he had chosen this path, he had to keep climbing up until no one dared to discriminate against and insult him.

Chen An pretended to be relieved and said, "No······ Not really. You have been in Qinzhou for many years, and you have no merit and hard work, how can His Majesty the Emperor abandon you? ”

Hu Yanwei just sighed and didn't speak again. He just wanted to get Yuzhong back now, so that he could have a slightly more decent ending. But what Hu Yanwei never expected was that it was this inconspicuous place in his eyes that made him pay an unimaginable price.
