Chapter 680: Don't Kill the Messenger
Jinyang City.
Fifteen-year-old Li Yuanji is a lazy and hard-working man, and finally has no constraints from his father and brother, and he is young, and it is the time to be playful, and he has just gained power, and he is rampant in Jinyang City, with bad deeds, and arouses the anger of the public.
Even when I go to the street and see a woman from a good family, I want to make a fuss, plunder and return home, and do things like beasts and birds.
Yu Wenxin, the general who assisted Li Yuanji in the town of Taiyuan, had repeatedly admonished, but he was regarded as a deaf ear.
On this day, Song Jingang led the army to sweep the fortresses of Zhucheng in Taiyuan County, and the soldiers and horses were killed under Jinyang City, and 50,000 or 60,000 troops had surrounded Jinyang City on three sides.
Li Yuanji in the city drunkenly heard the news that Liu Wuzhou's army was coming to the city, and he was so frightened that he woke up directly, and panicked to convene the generals of Wenmou to discuss countermeasures.
Yu Wenxin said: "The art of war has clouds: ten rules surround it." When the opponent is ten times the number of troops, he will encircle on all sides and storm the city, and now there are 30,000 troops in my city, and the number of troops outside the city is only 50,000 or 60,000, only twice as many as our army. Jinyang City has thick walls, plenty of grain and grass, and the cold winter is coming, as long as you hold on for half a month, the enemy army will retreat, after a period of time, the Tang King will definitely send reinforcements, and then Taiyuan County will turn the corner. ”
Li Yuanji is young, how can he have that ability, he is usually used to being pampered, as the so-called dragon gives birth to nine sons, all of them are different, this Li Yuanji is far inferior to his three brothers. 【】
"What if it is breached?" Li Yuanji felt a strong sense of unease.
Some strategists who were worried about the destruction of the city proposed: "Another way is to break through the siege, taking advantage of the fact that Song Jingang's troops have just arrived, the terrain is not familiar, and the people are sleepy and the horses are lacking, it is the best opportunity to break through the siege, encircle on three sides, and on the other hand, it is to give the defenders a way to live, which means that the enemy army does not want to completely trap and kill us, but only wants to capture the city and force us to retreat." ”
"I heard that Song Jingang understands the art of war, and one of his lieutenants, named Wei Chigong, is very brave and fierce, and he is by no means a good type, if he storms the city, the success or failure is unpredictable." A scholar in a green robe said.
After Li Yuanji heard this, he hesitated in his heart, and it was really difficult for him to let him, a straw bale boy with no opinion, decide the major affairs of the military aircraft.
In the Jinyang Palace, everyone was divided into two factions, the main battle and the main escape, debating with each other, so that Li Yuanji's head was about to explode.
In the next two days, Wei Chigong led his army to attack the city, and wanted to conquer Jinyang City before the massive snowfall in the complete cold winter.
Li Yuanji once climbed the city gate, saw such a fierce offensive and defensive battle, and his heart was even more afraid, so he decided that night that he would take people to break through to Daxing City, leaving Yuwenxin to defend the city.
He didn't want to die on the battlefield at a young age, their father, brothers and sisters were all in Xijing, the prosperity of the capital was several times stronger than that of Jinyang, and his father would soon be the emperor, and he would go to Xijing to enjoy endless glory and wealth, so why should he be afraid here and risk death?
So, Li Yuanji took the strategists and generals, led 5,000 elite soldiers, and at dawn, broke through from the west city gate, where there was no enemy defense outside the city, which was the path left for the defenders in the city to retreat.
This is a psychological strategy, if surrounded on all sides, the defenders in the city will inevitably resist to the death, and they will fall into a tragic offensive and defensive battle, leaving one side, without any ambush, let the defenders withdraw, and break the army's heart and will, then it will be much easier to conquer the city.
When the cold winter came, Song Jingang, Wei Chigong and others did not want to fall into a protracted war, and wanted to take Jinyang in the short term, which was a strategic way to fight against the weakness of human nature.
When Li Yuanji led the troops to withdraw, the Jinyang nobles in the city had long hated Li Yuanji, and wanted to invest in Liu Wuzhou's forces.
In less than ten days, Jinyang City was lost, and Taiyuan County fell into Liu Wuzhou's sphere of influence.
……..
Liu Chongli, as the envoy of Li Tang this time, came to the Marshal of Jincheng Mansion with the holy decree in his hand and met with the young marshal Luo Cheng.
"I have seen Youguo Gong, the lowly Liu Chongli is now a general secretary of the internal history, with His Majesty's holy decree, come to read it, praise the Guogong for rectifying the northwest, quelling the trouble, and ask the Guogong to accept the decree."
This Liu Chongli was sent to Xingyang by Li Yuan last time, and with his incorruptible tongue, he persuaded Li Mi to temporarily form an alliance with Li Yuan, unite the east and west, and take what they need, and also fooled Li Mi as the leader of the alliance, and now he has come to fool Luo Zhaoyun again.
Luo Zhaoyun sat on the chair behind the handsome case, his expression did not move, he was dressed in a brocade robe, and his face was calm: "Wait, which is your majesty?" ”
Liu Chongli replied: "Naturally, it is His Majesty Yang Yu, who has newly ascended the throne. ”
Luo Zhaoyun sneered: "If I am in Jiangdu today, I, Luo Cheng, only recognize His Majesty in Jiangdu, other princes, who dares to claim to be the emperor, without the succession of His Majesty Jiangdu, it is a great rebellion, and I will sweep it away!" ”
Liu Chongli argued: "This is wrong, Yang Guang was His Majesty, but he was greedy and immoral, which led to the misery of the people in the world, Tang King Li Yuan raised troops from Taiyuan, in order to save the people of the world, obeyed Sui and opposed Yang Guang, and now occupies Daxing City, has issued a document, announced to the world, abolished Yang Guang, and should set up Yang Yu as the new emperor. ”
Luo Zhaoyun snorted coldly: "Tang King Li Yuan, a rebel, just like Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao in the late Han Dynasty, is just coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, are you a fool of the princes in the world, you can't see his wolf ambition!" You came to my young marshal's mansion with a false holy decree to deceive, and you really deserve to be punished, come to someone, drag it out, and behead it. ”
Liu Chongli felt the evil aura emanating from Luo Cheng's body, that was the temperament of a soldier honed on the battlefield, iron-blooded and cold, a word of order, 100,000 troops all went to war, decisive and cruel, he was a literati, was pressed by the aura, and when he heard that he was going to be pulled out and killed, he was directly frightened into a cold sweat, his face was pale, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
"The young marshal spares his life, spares his life, the humble position is only responsible for the interrogation, the two countries exchange troops, do not behead the envoy, the young marshal has the name of benevolence and righteousness, you must not violate this precept and destroy your reputation." Liu Chongli immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and the literati were lost all at once.
Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly, he was too lazy to debate with this kind of eloquent strategist, power is justice, after saying his own point of view, he would use a knife if it did not match, directly deterring the lobbying messenger.
"Since you have said it, I am the commander of benevolence and righteousness, this time I will spare you from death, take the Tang King to find someone to write a false holy decree and get out, one day, I will come to Daxing City to pacify this chaotic minister and thief in the Sui room!"
Liu Chongli was shocked, he was shocked into a cold sweat, his legs and stomach were weak, and he didn't defend anymore, thinking that this young marshal was uneasy and reasonable, cold and intelligent, and it was really not good to fool, if it wasn't for his own cleverness, he said soft words and begged for mercy, but he was afraid that he would be dragged out and cut down as a thief.
