Chapter 154: Bombing (3)
Yi Dechao didn't dare to speak at all, he was afraid that Zhao Gu would dig a pit for him somewhere, at this moment, he finally realized how Lu Meng felt after being pitted by Zhao Gu. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At that time, after he heard that Lu Mengzheng apologized to Zhao Gu, he once laughed at Lu Mengzheng for being cowardly and afraid, but when he really fought with Zhao Gu, he finally understood Lu Mengzheng's difficulties.
To put it mildly, if he can, he also hopes to accompany Zhao Gu with a large sum of money, and then the two sides will turn the conflict into a jade silk.
But Mi Dechao knew that it was impossible, because of his mistake, Zhao Gu was almost buried in Shuozhou City, and this kind of feud could never be solved by losing money.
Thinking of this, Mi Dechao couldn't help but feel a trace of bitterness in his heart, and secretly said how he was blind in the first place and underestimated Zhao Gu.
But he is not good at stubble, and there is a faint murderous intention in his heart, and he feels that since he can't get along with Zhao Gu in peace, in order to prevent him from coming out to take revenge on himself in the future, it is better to find an opportunity to kill him.
In a short period of time, Mi Dechao's thoughts flew in his heart, but his body quickly retreated, retreated to the corner of the military tent, and stopped talking.
Cao Bin looked at each other as Hu Yanzan and Yang Yanzhao, they all saw the smile in each other's eyes, they actually blamed Mi Dechao, if it weren't for Mi Dechao's greed and recklessness, now the sixteen states of Yanyun would have been captured a long time ago, and they would now have to fight again and again, in vain.
In this atmosphere, no one paid attention to Yi Dechao, who was cursing Zhao Gu in a circle in the corner, and Zhao Gu and the others discussed how to take Yunzhou.
In the end, the result of the discussion was that Hu Yanzan and Yang Yanzhao agreed with Zhao Gu's proposal to attack the city with an iron ball, and although Cao Bin did not see the power of the iron ball, he still understood something from Hu Yanzan's praise, so he did not object.
As for Mi Dechao, he was directly ignored by everyone.
However, another overseer, Wang Jien, seemed to be a little uneasy, and wanted to see the power of the iron ball.
Zhao Gu and the others suddenly felt in their hearts, this Wang Jien was afraid that he had long believed in the power of the iron ball, and he wanted to see the physical exercise, which was nothing more than wanting to see the power of a single iron ball, and to put it bluntly, he just wanted to collect data.
Who told him to have a position as the emperor's personal eunuch, Zhao Guangyi's purpose in sending him here has long been self-evident, that is, to monitor a cadre and lead the ministers.
Since Wang Jien wanted to see it, Zhao Gu naturally would not disagree, so he took a few main generals away from Yunzhou for ten miles, which made people ignite an iron ball.
When the iron ball was ignited and exploded, Cao Bin and Yi Dechao both looked shocked, just like when Hu Yanzan and the others first saw it.
On the contrary, Wang Jien didn't seem so shocked, just nodded lightly and praised it.
I don't know if he's really not shocked, or if it's better to hide it.
But no matter what, after watching the iron ball drill, Wang Jien finally agreed to the plan to blast Yunzhou City with the iron ball.
Cao Bin immediately sent someone to prepare, and on the afternoon of this day, still using the method of Huanzhou City, a group of Song soldiers covered the Song soldiers with iron balls to the bottom of the city wall, and stuffed the iron ball into the gap in the city wall.
Subsequently, after a rain of arrows from the archers, Yunzhou City completely collapsed.
Cao Bin and Yi Dechao swallowed their saliva in surprise, looking at Zhao Gu as if they were looking at a monster.
Zhao Gu was used to this kind of look, so he directly chose to ignore it.
Fortunately, Hu Yanzan and Yang Yanzhao had already experienced this kind of battle, and they didn't need Zhao Gu to remind them, so they immediately ordered to hunt down the Liao army in Yunzhou City.
Half an hour later, the siege was completely over, and all the Liao troops in the city were killed except for a few who chose to surrender.
The entire siege ended from the beginning of the road, and it still did not exceed an hour.
Knowing this data, even the old eunuch Wang Jien, who had always been as calm as water, also showed a shocked face, although he concealed it well, but he was still discovered by Zhao Gu.
Zhao Gu couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, this old eunuch didn't look at the five people and six people who pretended, in fact, that's what happened.
Since Yunzhou City has been broken, the sixteen states of Yanyun can be regarded as completely recovered, and as for the four state capitals that have not been occupied by the Song army, such as Yingzhou and Xinzhou, they only need to send troops and horses to receive this.
These four states were far from the Great Song border, so the Liao State did not have a permanent army here, and it was only a matter of time before they were received.
At night, at the invitation of Wang Jien, Zhao Gu, Cao Bin, Hu Yanzan, Yang Yanzhao, and Mi Dechao came to the small courtyard where Wang Jien lived and held a small celebration banquet.
The so-called celebration banquet is nothing more than everyone getting together to talk about the past and the present, talk about the hardships along the way of the Northern Expedition, and look forward to a better future, which is really nothing new.
But there was something that happened after the banquet that was interesting.
After everyone said goodbye and left, Wang Jien actually left Zhao Gu alone!
This is a bit intriguing, it is said that Wang Jien is just an internal servant, although he has the name of supervising the army, but he has no right to order Zhao Gu and other ministers to do anything, everyone has no right to command each other, and because of the difference between internal and external ministers, it is said that they should not talk secretly in the middle of the night!
Zhao Gu seemed to have expected it, and after laughing, he entered his backyard at the invitation of Wang Jien.
After retiring from all his subordinates, Wang Jien smiled kindly, like a kind old man, but the words he said made people's hearts beat.
I only heard Wang Jien suddenly shout: "Zhao Gu, are you guilty?" ”
Zhao Gu raised his head 'blankly' and asked, "What?" ”
Wang Jien rolled his eyes in his heart, and immediately knew that Zhao Gu was playing sloppy with him, and he had the intention to demolish Zhao Gu on the spot, but thinking that after recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun, Zhao Gu would inevitably be added to the rank of knight, Wang Jien forcibly suppressed his anger.
Instead, Wang Jien said gently: "Master Hou, it's not the miscellaneous family who said you, this iron ball technology is an important military secret, how can you show it at will?" If these ministers rebel by this, you and I will be the first to be killed! ”
Zhao Gu smiled: "Father-in-law is too worried, the people in Shuozhou City who know the iron ball formula have all died in battle, and the two thousand people sent to me by General Pan Mei have also been isolated by him, waiting for the emperor's arrangement, so in fact, no one knows the iron ball formula." ”
Wang Jien breathed a sigh of relief: "I see, the old general Pan Mei is old-minded, and he is still thoughtful!" ”
Zhao Gu sneered in his heart, this iron ball bomb is very simple to make, I am afraid that a three-year-old child can imitate it after seeing it, but Wang Jien treats it as a treasure, it is really a frog at the bottom of the well.
Smiling slightly, Zhao Gu said: "Yes, General Pan Mei is afraid that someone will say that he has the idea of playing iron ball privately, so he uses this method to show his innocence." ”
