Chapter 0607: Messing with the hearts of our army
Sun Guangxian's ancestral home is a native of Guiping, Lingzhou, Chengdu Prefecture, as early as when he was young, he had a good relationship with officials such as Niu Xiji, Mao Wenxi, Ouyang Jiong, and other officials of the former Shu Hanlin Bachelor, and was also a member of the Huajian faction.

And the old handsome pet Fucheng is more than sixty years old, and he is also a former Shu general who has gone through the entire five generations, although Sun Guangxian does not know pet Fucheng, but he has a lot of old friends in the Chengdu court. And Jingnan has recently accepted the land, and the foundation of the king of Longxi in Guanzhong is also becoming more and more stable, and the faction is thriving, Sun Guangxian thinks that he is full of wealth, and of course he wants to occupy a place in the new forces, so that the old lord Gao Baorong can also be preserved, without losing the name of loyalty.
Pulled up to the city by the Shu soldiers with hanging baskets, Sun Guangxian thought that he would be brought into the city, but he didn't want an officer to take him to the temporary military hall in the city tower.
Sun Guangxian was stunned when he saw this, and he looked like he was doing business, so it was not easy to persuade him to surrender, and now that the matter was coming, he had to bow down and say: "Sun Mengwen of Lingzhou is a contemptible Linggong to meet the old Linggong!" ”
"Sun Mengwen? But the deputy envoy of Jingnan Jiedu and the secretary of the Nanping Palace? What do you think about the people who have died in the country? Pet Fucheng's face was blank and he sneered unceremoniously.
Sun Guangxian smiled, disapprovingly said: "The old man Linggong said this is wrong, Jingnan Jiezhen has always respected the Central Plains, the lord of Nanping was sealed by the Central Plains court, the lord of the three generations is loyal, although he has been war-torn but protects the territory and the people, and has never overstepped the system to claim the emperor, how to say that the country is lost." However, the contemptible people are not here for state affairs, but for personal friendship. ”
"Right now, the soldiers are in danger, and there is no selfish friendship to talk about, please go back!" Pet Fucheng summoned him in court and summoned all his subordinates, which made it clear that he did not accept any friendship.
This situation was also expected by Sun Guangxian, as early as the autumn of the fifth year of Xiande, the Great Zhou threatened to attack Shu, and Gao Baorong sent an envoy to Chengdu to persuade Meng Chang to give up the title of emperor and work with the court of the Great Zhou, but Meng Chang sternly refused. Now that he is petting Fucheng's performance, if he doesn't know the benefits, I'm afraid he can only go back in disgrace, and that person's career will be ruined.
Thinking of this, Sun Guangxian coughed dryly, bowed again, straightened up, and said with a solemn face: "Since the favored old Ling Gong knows about Jingnan, then he should also know that the contemptible person has stepped down from his post in Jingnan and is temporarily a guest of the Yongxing Military Mansion." But as a person from Shuzhong, seeing that the king of Longxi is a relative in his heart, he has pity for the father and elder in Shu, but the war disaster has been spared, and the contemptible people have a word, I don't know if the old Linggong and everyone here are willing to listen to it? ”
When the generals heard this, they all sneered, and Pet Fucheng was slightly moved, and silently raised his hand.
Sun Guangxian suddenly came to his senses, and arched his hands left and right: "The king of Longxi withdrew his feudal domain and merged the town in Guanxi, held 200,000 elite soldiers, and improved the official system to carry out reforms, and concentrated money, food, and material resources. ”
"This Zhang Yuanzhen is a powerful minister, ignoring the laws of the court and doing nonsense, going south at this time, I am afraid that the rear will be chaotic, right?" Pang Fucheng didn't want to lose momentum, and said with a smile.
Sun Guangxian smiled confidently and said: "Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, Pang Gong has been affected by the illness of the feudal town, and it seems that he does not know the original intention of the king of Longxi to withdraw the domain, why is it determined that there is chaos in the rear?" Although the marshal of the twenty towns in Kansai left office, after the withdrawal of the feudal domain, he still performed his own duties, more troops, a wider jurisdiction, and greater powers and responsibilities, the only difference is that the powers are all public weapons, and no one can use them for personal use, is this not a big benefit for the small people in the world?
If you want to talk about ministers, are there still fewer powerful ministers and tigers and wolves since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and how many people hold public intentions? The lord of Shu is now in power, but what did Ming Jun do? What's more, the Songpan army has invaded Mianzhou, but I don't know how long Lizhou can hold it? ”
Pet Fucheng was stunned, he just regarded the other party as hostile, and his contemptuous remarks were nothing more than fighting for the upper hand, and he didn't want Sun Guangxian to admit it. The new system implemented by Zhang Yue in Kansai is childish, and Pet Fucheng knows a little, and of course he understands the mystery. But once the new system is perfected, the power has been vested in Zhang Yue, in the eyes of Pet Fucheng, Zhang Yue is a rebel, but the time has not come, only the tip of the iceberg has appeared.
"You don't need to say anything if you're not an envoy!" Seeing that Sun Guangxian talked about Meng Chang and mentioned sensitive military issues, he was immediately displeased, and shouted: "Someone!" Send him back! ”
"Since the favor has been decided, the letter of the king of Longxi is enshrined, and he is left to his devices!" Sun Guangxian saw that there were many people in this hall, even if he didn't achieve his goal, but he also opened a gap in people's hearts, so he took out a folded note from his arms and threw it on the ground, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.
A guard stepped forward to pick up the note and handed it to the desk, and Pet Fucheng took it and took a look, there were only three simple lines of words on it, and there was no signature and payment from top to bottom, and the three sentences were: The world is unified, and the trend is the general trend! If you know the current affairs but please surrender to sincerity, you can not blame the past, and reuse it! If the city is broken, the commander will behead all the generals who have gone to the army, and the family members will be exiled to Hehuang!
Pet Fucheng was taken aback after reading it, his hands trembled, and the note fell to the ground again and was still in a daze, and Jiao Congjin, the judge of Jiedu next to him, couldn't help but pick it up and quickly glanced at it, and his face became a little unpleasant.
"Mess with our army's heart! Burn down! Pet Fucheng was furious, and shouted: "Someone! Go and leave that Sun Guangxian behind! ”
Pet Fucheng said this, but he didn't want to leave Sun Guangxian to talk about it again, how could there be a good result before and after Gong, he wanted to stay as a hostage, thinking about getting up and chasing out the door, and looking down at the battlements by the city wall, Sun Guangxian had already walked far under the city.
After a while, Sun Guangxian rode back to the camp twenty miles north of the city, and it happened that Zhang Yue was in the big tent of the Chinese army, summoning fifty or sixty generals above the level of brigade commander to plan and attack the city.
"It's not worth it, but it's a little rewarding!" Sun Guangxian arched his hands left and right, and found a vacant seat next to him.
Zhang Yue smiled and nodded, "It's okay!" Expected! They took advantage of the danger of the Shu Road, according to the rich land in Shu, there was enough money and food, and they thought that the city was solid and could be defended, but our army had to fight this battle and stand up, pull out the nail of Miangu, Yichang would not be able to hold for a long time, there were three roads ahead at that time, and there was always one that could pass. Now, let's continue to discuss the siege of the city. ”
On the same day, Zhang Yue summoned the generals to agree on the attack strategy, and did not attack the city in the next two days, but sent 10,000 auxiliary troops to bulldoze the two towns in the north and east of the city, and the trees and thatch on several small hillsides were also cut down and dug up. Another 10,000 soldiers were sent to fill in all the unfilled moats, so that the 50,000-strong army could form a formation and reach the city.
On the 23rd, Zhang Yue guarded the camp with the Guards Brigade, and led Bing Shaohui, Shi Chenghong, and Liu Wenbai to lead 20,000 troops and 5,000 auxiliary soldiers to line up three miles outside the north gate, and He Jiyun led 15,000 troops and 5,000 auxiliary soldiers to set up a formation outside the east gate.
Outside the north city gate is the main attack, forty medium-sized trebuchets are launched together, one by one huge stone bullets roar through the sky, hit the female wall of the city head and make a series of banging sounds, clusters of yellow dust bricks flying, the battlements can not withstand the blow, piece by piece collapse.
After several rounds of ordinary stone bombs, the elevation angle of the trebuchet was adjusted again, and the stone projectiles wrapped in cotton soaked in fire oil flew up to the city, knocking out the corner towers, arrow towers, city towers and other defensive facilities on the city one by one. Then the heavy crossbow was pushed out of front of the battle, approaching two or three hundred steps under the city wall, and fired upward from the foot of the city wall, and the whole city wall was shot like a hedgehog, which was conducive to the climbing of the soldiers who climbed the city.
In less than an hour, the head of the city that had lost its female wall was almost equal to the horse road at the top of the wall. At this time, thousands of soldiers drove the horses and dragged them, and the auxiliary soldiers pushed twenty ladder carts creaking across the open space in front of the battle, slowly approaching the city.
In addition, two brigades adapted from Fengzhou soldiers attacked from both sides of the city gate at the same time, and Shi Chenghong's third division transferred two regiments of crossbowmen to shoot at the elevation angle of the city head on both sides of the city gate, covering a thousand sword and shield men to drive the car to the north city gate and continue to hit the door.
