Chapter 81: Divergence
On the upper floor of Kaifeng Fucheng, Dalian bead cannons are side by side, and the black muzzles are neatly panicked.
Cao Wenzhao rode on a horse, looking at the towering Kaifeng city wall, as a general, if he defended the city by himself, he would dream of a city like this.
Fourteen years later, the Ming Dynasty was already in turmoil, and on the eve of its demise, this city was still able to resist the invincible Li Zicheng and let him return three times.
Cao Bianjiao walked around him, walked around, and scolded: "Wei Liangqing is really the first straw bag in the past, the three major battalions in the capital, what an elite, Kaifeng Mansion, how majestic, with such a capital, he was defeated by a group of grass robbers, or a complete defeat!" Now that a gust of wind occupies Kaifeng, how can we, thousands of people, fight?
Uncle, how do you fight? This is Kaifeng, let's put down the rebellion, where to bring any siege equipment, can we climb the city wall of dozens of meters with bare hands? ”
"Little general, don't talk about it, listen to General Cao."
Cao Wenzhao sighed and said, "Mingjin withdrew his troops, withdrew Xuanwuwei, and waited for the imperial court to appoint an order." ”
On the city tower, Yue Chenfeng, Shen Muhong and others were still studying how to use the artillery of the Shenji Battalion, and when they saw Cao Wenzhao's soldiers and horses, they turned around and withdrew.
Shen Muhong said with a smile: "Cao Wenzhao is really a good general, and he doesn't make senseless sacrifices, but although he can be a general, he won't be an official, and I'm afraid he will be unlucky if he retreats." ”
Yue Chen Fengqi said: "Sir, if he doesn't retreat, he will only increase the casualties and kill a few more of his soldiers, why is it the best choice for him to retreat, but he is unlucky?" ”
Shen Muhong put his hands behind his back and said: "Kaifeng was taken away by us, it must shock the world, the court has lost such a face, how can it not pull out a few scapegoats and come out to carry the black pot." The three-way army besieged us, and both roads were defeated and captured by us, but this Cao Wenzhao did not release an arrow, and did not die a single person, he was not unlucky, who was unlucky? ”
"Black! It's so dark! The court is much darker than ours. The bandits looked at each other and said with concern.
At this time, Ge Jiu, who went to the palace to raid the house, wore a nine-fold crown that only a prince could wear, shook his head, walked up, and shouted excitedly: "Big brother, Mr. Shen, now we have made a fortune!" Do you know how much money there is in King Zhou's mansion? ”
Everyone looked at him one after another, this guy took people to the Zhou Wangfu to copy the house, originally just like the local tyrants and inferior gentry in the county on weekdays, and went with a few henchmen under his hands, but at a glance he saw the Zhou Wangfu, which was bigger than the entire Luoyang City, and was completely dumbfounded.
The group followed him and came to the Zhou Palace, Ge Jiu had a good memory, although he had only been here once, he took everyone to the palace treasury with a familiar car, and kicked open the door of the mansion treasury.
Rao is that everyone has been mentally prepared, or they are shocked by the mountains of gold and silver treasures.
Folk often have gold and silver mountains to exaggerate how rich a person is, but the Zhou Wangfu is indeed worthy of this statement, the first Zhou King is the son of Zhu Yuanzhang, from generation to generation, the wealth of the palace is basically as long as the Ming Dynasty.
Rao is Yue Chenfeng, who has never valued money, couldn't help but be moved, his spirits lifted, and said: "Mr. Shen, with such wealth, we can sit firmly in Kaifeng City and recruit troops, right?" ”
Shen Muhong shook his head lightly and said regretfully: "Yue Shuai, Kaifeng can't be guarded." ”
Wei Qun, the second master, hurriedly said: "Why can't you defend it, such a big city, we have so much treasure and grain, who can break it?" ”
"Kaifeng is not compared to other places, although we have a large number of people, the foundation is not stable, and the strength of Zhengzhen is actually very limited. If you really start a fight, you may not be able to win a battle with Cao Wenzhao's soldiers and horses just now.
We can take Kaifeng, it is really a great luck, and if we defend it, we will only be surrounded by the imperial court in this city. The court can afford it, but we can't afford it.
can only abandon the city, as before, and develop strength in the process of dealing with the imperial court. ”
"Then such a big city, if you don't want it, you don't want it?"
"Henan is the land of four wars, we can't afford to stay, and the imperial court will not sit idly by and watch the Central Plains be occupied by us. We went to Shaanxi, where natural disasters have been encountered for a long time, people's grievances are boiling, and people's minds have changed. If we can occupy Guanzhong, we can retreat to defend Tongguan to seek Bashu, and we can enter and exit Chang'an to fight for the world. ”
Shen Muhong talked eloquently, but Yue Chenfeng's subordinates didn't plan to buy it, and the fourth Tao Leyou said with a dark face: "Big brother, Mr. Shen, it's not easy for us to take the trouble to build such a big city, just throw it away, the brothers are not happy." ”
Although Yue Yingying was reluctant to open the seal, Shen Muhong's words had always been right. She knew that her uncles and uncles, although they were a bit of martial arts, were better than the previous Mr. Shen in terms of scheming, so she chose to stand on Shen Muhong's side.
Yue Yingying has always been straightforward, never hiding her thoughts, her pretty face raised, and she said crisply: "Fourth uncle, we can lay down Kaifeng, Mr. Shen's credit is the greatest, we attacked Wei Liangqing at night and opened Kaifeng Mansion by fraud."
Fourth uncle, you followed us into the city, what kind of effort did you bother and what kind of strength did you use.
Mr. Shen's words, although I don't understand, but since Mr. Shen said it, it naturally makes a lot of sense, don't get an axe in this class, let's listen to Mr. ”
Tao Leyou's old face turned red, blowing his beard and glaring, but he couldn't refute it, he could only say: "Big brother, look at her, she taught me a lesson as an uncle." ”
Yue Chenfeng smiled bitterly and stopped: "Okay, okay, what's the noise." We raised our troops just to kill Zhang Heihu's dog thief and avenge Fuba. Now that Kaifeng has been laid, and you have won a wealth for nothing, why should you get an inch of gold. To tell the truth, I, Yue Chenfeng, have no interest in fighting the world and being the emperor, in my life, the picture is not just that the brothers gather together and have a good time, what is the point of you being so noisy.
Although I don't know the art of war and strategy, but since the incident in Fei County, Mr. Shen's sentence is not allowed? We listened to Mr., brought the money and grain from Kaifeng, and the brothers went to Guanzhong to be happy, it was not the same. ”
Wei Qun, Tao Leyou and others, although they were still not convinced, but they didn't dare not listen to Yue Chenfeng's words, so they scattered with their necks and led their subordinates to search for Kaifeng.
Shen Muhong looked lonely, these people's words and deeds, what they did, they didn't look like they could achieve great things at all, they still regarded themselves as heroes who gathered in the mountains and forests from their hearts. Even Yue Chenfeng, although he obeys his words, as a leader, he has no ambition to forge ahead.
"Am I wrong, assisting such a character, even if it turns the world upside down and brings down the Ming Dynasty, it is just to make a wedding dress for others!"
