Chapter 483: Lu Juan was trapped in the Yan Wangdu
The loss of Youbeiping can be described as quite dramatic, but it is because after the loss of Youbeiping, the soldiers were not injured, which made Yuyang and other places have a great tendency to surrender.
At this time, Lu Qian led the army to the west of Yuyang, and he heard that Youbeiping was lost, and he was greatly frightened, thinking that it must be Han who won the hearts of the people, so he made Youbeiping surrender without a fight.
If you want to come to the Han army to get the city, the momentum is flourishing, if you are stationed in Yuyang, how can you confront it, so Lu Juan led the army before he arrived in the right Beiping, and the whole army withdrew to Jicheng, forming a corner with Shanggu.
After Fan Hao occupied the right Beiping, he immediately announced the cities of Yandi, and his book said: "There is no dispute in the world of the Han family today, the emperor governs the family with filial piety, governs the country with harmony, and Lu Xuan of Yandi is the emperor's neighbor, Chu and Han contend, slightly meritorious service, and is named the king of Yan." ”
"Yandi is adjacent to the Xiongnu, Lu Juan has bad intentions, and he actually interacts with the Xiongnu, wanting to oppose the Han Dynasty and stand on his own.
"Now the land of the Zhao Dynasty is flat, the people recuperate, only the people of Yandi, suffering from the suffering of life, in dire straits, the Han army is benevolent, unwilling to see each other with swords, if the cities surrender, are not to blame, the official is the original position, if it violates the Han army's good life, severe punishment will not be loaned, I hope you will tell it."
After this silk book announced Yandi, Yuyang was the closest to the Han army, and first surrendered, and then Liaoxi and Liaodong all surrendered to the Han army, so that Lu Juan was left with only Shanggu City and Jicheng.
The main reason why Shanggu City did not surrender was that Zhang Sheng had already stationed troops in it, and 30,000 soldiers were guarding the city, which was not a problem at all.
When Zhang Sheng first came to this city, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, he also published a silk book, which said: "Although it is decided today, the princes are afraid all day long, why not?" The emperor of the Han family liked sword soldiers. ”
"At the beginning of the world, the princes of the eighteen roads obtained, the king of Han is known for his cunning, he wants to win the world, but he does not want to share it with others, the nine kings of the world in the past, except for Wu Qi, no one died well, the king of Pingnan is kind-hearted, and he has recommended talents many times, and has made military achievements, but he was imprisoned by Liu Bang in Chang'an City."
"Peng Yue Han Xin's generation, although they were able to divide the seal and divide the land for thousands of miles, but it has not been a few years, and now there are no bones, this is because Liu Bang does not want to rule the world with others."
"The land of the Zhao Dynasty, years of war, the people are miserable, only the king of Yan is benevolent, to protect the water and soil, so that the cities of Yan have nothing to do, the first Han Wang Xin, Zhang Er is the king, one escapes and one dies, after Chen Feng is in charge of the hometown, I never thought that after Liu Bang was pacified, he wanted to slaughter the city."
"If there is no advice from the generals, the Dongyuan City would have been full of blood and bones, even so, there are still hundreds of soldiers who have been killed by him, which shows that his heart is vicious, and he is inferior to Lu Pheasant."
"Today's Yan King is like this, all of them are forced, you have lived in Yan for a long time, the people are rich and rich, all of them are the merits of Yan Wang, now Yan Wang is in trouble, we should die to repay each other, so as to be worthy of the hearts of the people in the world."
This silk book, the words are conclusive, so that the soldiers and civilians of Shanggu City are united, and after Fan Hao arranged the affairs of the cities, he was stationed outside Shanggu City, in which the city gate was closed, and there were no people to come and go, just like a dead city.
The Han army was stationed five miles away, Zhou Bo and others saw this, and wanted to write to Fan Hao to attack, Fan Hao said that he was also a person with a strong temperament, and when he saw Shanggu City so strictly defended, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, so he ordered Zhou Bo to throw 10,000 people to attack the city.
Although Zhang Sheng is not a military general, he still has some skills for defending the city, nothing more than bows, arrows, earth and stones, and spears to protect the city.
Fan Hao heard the news in the tent, so he had to order the three armies to besiege him to the death, and not to let Zhang Sheng and others go out of the city.
So, 80,000 Han troops surrounded Shanggu, and Lu Juan of Jicheng also learned about it, but he did not dare to rashly send troops, after all, the surrounding counties have all surrendered to the Han army, if Lu Juan goes out of the city, other counties want to invite merit and reward, and will attack Jicheng, and then it will not be a defeat for both.
In Shanggu City, even if Zhang Sheng is a god descending to earth, he can't guarantee that the Yan army will go out of the city and surrender every day, the reason is very simple, what you say is very good, and it is easy to make people's blood boil, but you have no food, in this case, who is willing to follow you to defend the city to the death.
The Han army besieged Shanggu for more than ten days, there were more than 10,000 Yan troops who escaped from it, Fan Hao heard this, his heart was overjoyed, Zhang Sheng led 30,000 soldiers to defend the city, and now he fled more than half, and the rest of them are all yellow-faced and thin soldiers, so attacking the city at night, it will definitely be able to break the enemy.
That day and night, Fan Hao decided, personally led 20,000 soldiers to attack the city from the main gate, Zhou Bo led 10,000 soldiers to attack the city from the north gate, although Zhang Sheng was in the city, but because of daily fatigue, it was inevitable that there would be negligence.
At the beginning of the ugly time, Fan Xu saw that there was no torch shaking in the city, so he took the lead and rushed forward with a ladder on his own.
When the Yan army in the city found out that something was wrong, Fan Xu had already climbed the city gate tower, and Zhang Sheng was sleeping soundly in the house due to many days of fatigue, and suddenly heard the shouts of killing outside, so he immediately got up and changed his clothes and ran outside the house.
"Why are you so flustered, could it be that the Han army has broken the city!" Zhang Sheng shouted directly outside the mansion gate.
The escaped soldier saw that it was Zhang Sheng, and paused slightly, "General Qiyu, the Han general attacked the city at night, and now the north and south gates are broken, and I ask the general to flee elsewhere to save his life." ”
When Zhang Sheng heard this, he was shocked, hurriedly took out his weapons from the palace, gathered more than 1,000 people, and fled from the east gate, while the rest of the soldiers fled in all directions, or surrendered to the Han army.
Fan Xu and Zhou Bo searched overnight, but did not find Zhang Sheng's figure, so they had to give up the pursuit and clean up Shanggu City.
Only Jicheng, the capital of King Yan, is still in Lu Juan's hands, and Lu Juan is timid and afraid, and has sent his wife and children to the north of the Great Wall.
After the Han army arranged all the things in Shanggu City, it was very slow to march towards Jicheng, and Fan Xu's original idea still did not change, that is, Lu Juan could escape as much as possible, and it was okay to catch him and send him to Chang'an, but he couldn't die in his own hands.
In recent years, he knows better than anyone what has happened to the princes, so he is extremely cautious, and the reason why he is slow to send troops is that he hopes that Lu Juan can escape, or come out and surrender.
At this moment, in Jicheng, Zhang Sheng has fled back, and Yan Xiang is naturally unwilling to abandon the city and flee, in the entire Yanwang Mansion, the three of them sit opposite each other, and the atmosphere is slightly sad.
Lu Juan took a slight sip of warm tea, and asked helplessly: "The hearts of the people are towards the Han, and it is irreversible, and the cities of Yandi are all lost, only Jicheng, which cannot be done, what should I do?" ”
"King Qiyu, according to Weichen's opinion, it is safer to go to the Xiongnu Xiaochang'an City, that Fan Xu is a reckless man, and he is decisive, if he attacks the city now, we will not be able to escape death." Zhang Sheng said very seriously. 10
