Chapter 948: Westward Advance to Chang'an (2)
"Rat slaves, deceive people too much!"
On the Taiji Hall of Chang'an, just after listening to the crying and complaining of his brother Yu Wenshi, Yu Wenhua and angrily, afraid and angry, shocked and angry, standing there and scolding.! (Floating in the sky, the novel is faster and better)
Just now, when he saw his brother Qin Wangyu Wenshi and his face embarrassed, and he still entered the palace with a smell of blood on his body, he thought that his brother had come to force the palace to rebel. When he heard that the Xu army had been defeated, not only Feng Yi had already been lost, but even Pujin Pass had already been lost, and the third brother Han Wang Yu Wenzhihe had also become a prisoner of the Chen army. Immediately afterwards, the second brother Yu Wenshi and the 20,000 Tongguan soldiers not only suffered a big defeat in Weibei, but also lost tens of thousands of soldiers. Moreover, even the 30,000 soldiers and horses he had just temporarily put together from various places yesterday, and the remnants of Jiatong Pass, totaling 40,000 horses, actually fought a big defeat in Yongfengcang in Weinan.
After listening to the fear for a long time, the 40,000 horses and horses were all gone, and only Yu Wenshi and hundreds of subordinates escaped with the desperate protection of their subordinates. Up to now, the defeated Yuwen Shi and the Weishui who were defeated don't even know how Chen's army passed Weishui and how he entered Yongfeng Cangcheng in one fell swoop.
The 40,000 soldiers are gone, plus the 10,000 that were lost in Weibei a few days ago, this time it is 50,000.
The 50,000 soldiers and horses are gone, and Yu Wenhua only feels that the last bit of strength in his body is gone, and the whole person is as if he has been pulled out of his backbone. Xu Guo's soldiers and horses basically followed Chengdu to confront Chen's army in Changwu, and the area around Chang'an was already empty, otherwise, it would be impossible for Chen Thief to kill people into the Weiping Plain and seize Feng Yi's important town. These 50,000 horses are almost the last force in the entire Guanzhong, and now, it is the capital Chang'an, and there are only 10,000 guards left.
The 50,000 soldiers were gone, Feng Yi was lost, and Pujin was also lost.
There are still 10,000 soldiers and horses in Tongguan, 10,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an, 5,000 in Wuguan, 5,000 in Sanguan, and 120,000 in Changwu.
It's just that. Although there are many Changwu soldiers, they are beyond the reach of the whip, and there are 100,000 soldiers and horses in the east and west of the Changwu army, as well as the two battalions of the Chen army in the east and west of the western army.
The left servant shot Fan Zigai and couldn't help asking: "King Qin, Yongfeng Cang is lost, what about the grain." Did it burn? ”
Yongfeng warehouse has tens of millions of stone grain. It is the largest granary in the entire Guanzhong Plain, not only responsible for the supply of Tongguan, Pujin and Fengyi Zhucheng, but also a large part of the grain supply of the capital Chang'an also depends on the transportation here. And now, what worries the old minister even more is that. If so much grain fell into the hands of the enemy, then Chen Pojun would no longer have logistical supply pressure, and he could even rely on the grain from Yongfeng Cang to supply the 100,000 Chen troops in Changwu. As a result, Yuwen Chengdu previously proposed to confront Chen Jun for a long time and drag Chen Jun across with logistical supplies. It's completely hopeless.
Yu Wenshi's face turned pale, and he said with a wry smile: "Lone was attacked by the Chen army at that time, and he wanted to go out of the city first and then gather soldiers and horses, return to the division and fight again, and recapture Yongfeng." Unexpectedly, Chen Jun was cunning, deliberately surrounded Sanqueyi, and then set up an ambush outside the West City Gate, and then drove the pursuit with light cavalry. Wait until our troops break and flee. After running for half a day, the people were sleepy and tired, but they ambushed our army with heavy horses and waiting for work. At this point, our army was defeated, and there was no power to return to heaven. Of the 40,000 soldiers, only 800 horsemen broke through the encirclement. ”
"How many soldiers and horses does Chen Wei have?" Yu Wenhua and at this time, he couldn't even take care of his brother's face. There is no grace at all, on the platform, pointing and jumping, like a woman on the street.
No wonder he jumped to his feet. In the north of the Chen Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of Turks pressed the border, and the confrontation lasted for a long time. The information he has. It has long been shown that Chen Pojun transferred all the housekeeping forces to the north to defend against the Turks half a year ago. Previously, when Chen Kefu went south to Jiangdong to clean up Shen Luoyan's girls, it was reported that all the guards and township soldiers and militias were used, as well as the women's army. The last time Chen Jun broke into Longzhong, before and after, until now Longzhong has transferred 100,000 Chen Jun.
Calculate it, no matter how you calculate it, Chen Kefu is already exhausted.
But now, where did this damn Chen Kefu get a large army, not only suddenly bypassed the cities of Weibei, but also raided and captured Feng Yi's important town in one fell swoop, and also captured the vital Pujin. If these are just Chen Pojun's cunning, then what is the next defeat in Weibei and Weinan?
Forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses were defeated in this way, and the whole army was wiped out. If anyone still tells him that the thief is just a small incursion, he will immediately cut off his head.
Yu Wenshi lowered his head, his face was swollen red, and he said for a long time: "When Chen Wei Weibei ambushed our army, there were six or seven thousand ambush soldiers in Chaoban, and more than 10,000 on the shore of Weishui, adding up to about 20,000. The minister deduced that it was impossible for Chen Rei to exhaust the whole army, ignoring Feng Yi and Pu Jin, and there were at least more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left in these two cities, so Chen Rei's soldiers and horses were more than 30,000. ”
"Thirty thousand? 30,000 will wipe out your 40,000 troops? How did these 30,000 people fly over Weishui in the middle of the night, and how did they fly into Yongfeng City? ”
Cui Hongsheng, the general of Zuo Wuwei, said: "It is impossible for the Chen army to be only 30,000, according to the Chen's estimates, after the Chen thief captured the Pujin Pass, he must have transferred his soldiers and horses in Hongnong, Shangluo, and even Luoyang to enter the pass through the Puhan River Bridge." Although the Weishui is gentle, the current season is the time when the water rises. Chen Thief was able to build a pontoon bridge on the Weishui River silently, and in one fell swoop he could capture Yongfeng City, which was defended by 40,000 people, and the soldiers and horses were at least the enemy of Yongfeng. It is very likely that Chen Kefu has already transferred all the reserve troops and horses east of Tongguan. ”
Yu Wenhua and a little depressed sat down on the dragon chair, now there is no need to guess how many people Chen Jun has, how to cross the river, how to take the city. Now Yu Wenhua is most worried that there are only 10,000 horses in Chang'an, and after crossing Weishui, the Chen army that captured Yongfengcang has broken into the Guanzhong Plain, not only does it have no logistical grain and grass problems, but also in front of them, it is already a horse Pingchuan, and Chang'an City only has 10,000 horses.
Yongfengcang is only more than 200 miles away from Chang'an, if Chen Pojun comes by light horse, he can go to Chang'an City in one day and night.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Yongfeng is lost, and there is nothing to do in front of Chen Thief. In just one day and one night, Chen Thief can fly and ride. What should I do? Which Aiqing has a strategy to retreat from the enemy? ”
When Fan Zigai was a Sui minister, he once stayed in the eastern capital, and once resisted Yang Xuangan's attack, and he also had some experience, so he was busy at the moment: "Your Majesty, in today's situation, it is no longer possible to fight hard, there are no soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, only to go on the defensive." The city wall of Chang'an is strong and has not been in war for a hundred years. If you stick to it, you can keep it for a year. ”
Ling Hu Xingda objected with a pale face: "Hold for a year? Yongfeng warehouse was lost, and tens of millions of grain and grass fell into the hands of thieves. Chang'an had a lot of grain and grass before, but the last time King Lantian went out to Changwu, he had already taken most of it away to make food and grass for the army. Originally, it was said that the king of Lantian took grain from Chang'an in order to be nearby, and Chang'an would transfer it from Yongfeng Cang later. But now the food and grass in the city are long gone. Yongfeng Cang's was put into the pocket of the thief before he was transferred in. The minister calculated that the capital now has a population of more than 700,000 people, and with so many people, the grain and grass in Kyoto will last for two months at most. The thieves are coming, and they will definitely besiege the city at that time. At that time, the capital could not be supplied with grain and grass. Chen Thief City doesn't need to be attacked, and more than 700,000 people in Kyoto can eat us alive. ”
Yu Wenhua's face was difficult to see, and he said in a panic: "Then what do you say?" ”
Linghu Xingda proposed: "The minister thinks that Chang'an cannot be defended. It is better to leave a minister to stay in Chang'an. His Majesty took advantage of the thief's arrival, and avoided his edge for the time being. It's best to go now, head west, and go to Fufu Renshou Palace. Renshou Palace is complete, and His Majesty will not feel uncomfortable when he goes. And. This Renshou Palace is not far from Beidi Changwu, and when it is critical, you can transfer the army of Lantian Wang to escort it. If it really doesn't work, Your Majesty can also immediately go south to disperse the pass, and temporarily take refuge in Yang Xuan's place, waiting for the future. ”
When Yu Wenshi heard this, he was really a little moved. Chang'an City now has only 10,000 soldiers and horses, although Yu Wenshi and Chen Po's army are only 30,000. But even if Chen Pojun only had 3,000 people coming, he was not at ease. It would be good if other Chen generals led the troops, but Chen Pojun personally commanded the troops. Don't say thirty thousand. It's three thousand, and there is not much chance to hold it.
Fan Zigai over there was already pointing at Linghu Xingda and scolding: "You are running away, not by a human minister." Timid and afraid, have you ever thought about if Your Majesty leaves Chang'an. That Chen Pojun is so close, it is very likely that His Majesty has not yet arrived at Fufeng Renshou Palace, then Chen Pojun has already caught up, at that time. In the wild, how to resist the enemy? And one more. That Fufeng is indeed close to Changwu, but don't forget, Changwu not only has the 120,000 army of King Lantian, but also the 100,000 army of Chen. Besides, to disperse the pass to avoid the discussion of Hanzhong, then Hanzhong is Yang Jun's territory, although now we and Yang Jun are allies, but don't forget, our Xu army and Sui army fought many times. We are concerned, and Yang Yong is an ally when we are allies. If we abandon Guanzhong and enter Hanzhong, can you guarantee that Yang Jian will not swallow us in one bite? ”
was scolded by Fan Zigai, Yu Wenhua thought about it, but he also felt that it made a lot of sense. Run, can't run Chen Pojun, this hide, Yang Jun is not a good person.
"What is the best plan for servant shooting, but please speak directly, teach me."
Fan Zigai scolded Linghu Xingdatong, and when he saw that the emperor's idea of escaping was dispelled, he immediately said: "There is only one plan today, and that is to stick to Chang'an." ”
"How do you keep it? No soldiers, no food? Yu Wenhua sighed, and couldn't help but feel a little unexpected.
"As long as Your Majesty is willing to stick to it, I will wait for the monarchs and ministers to work together, and the ministers will think that with the strength of Chang'an now, there is no chance to pay for it. What the ministers are afraid of is that some people are afraid of war, and they want to escape, and when the people in the city are panicked, that is the powerlessness to return to heaven. ”
Yu Wenhua thought for a while, if it was possible, of course he wanted to escape. However, at this time, he also knew the importance of strengthening people's hearts, so he ordered the guards to hold his sword and hand it to Fan Zigai in person, saying: "The matter of defense, I will hand it over to the servants with all my strength to do, if someone is afraid of war and does something to disturb the hearts of our army, Qing will use this sword to cut off his head!" ”
"Command!" Fan Zigai replied excitedly.
The hall was silent, and the internal history servant Yuan Min opened his head and stopped.
"Yuan Shilang, if you have something to say, whether it is right or wrong, I will not condemn you."
Yuan Min stepped out, "Your Majesty, why don't you send someone to ask Chen Jun to surrender?" ”
Hearing this, many people in the hall felt relaxed, but Yu Wenhua's face was dark.
Yu Wenshi turned his head and shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! ”
The old man Fan Zigai pulled out all the swords just given by the emperor with a bang, ready to make an example of him.
"Your Majesty spares your life! Please let the minister finish his words! Yuan Min pounced in fright and knelt down, kowtowing desperately.
"Say!" Yu Wenhua and Leng Dao.
Yuan Min wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in a trembling voice: "The minister's meaning is not a real surrender, but a fake surrender, a plan to delay the army, and buy some time." ”
"Hmm!" Yu Wenhua and Wen Yan looked a little better. "What we need now is time, but how to reduce it? Then Chen Pojun is not a stupid person, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed. Well, since Yuan Shilang has some proposals, whether it is successful or not, it is always good to give it a try. In this way, Yuan Shilang, I will make you fully responsible for this matter. ”
When Yuan Min heard this, he couldn't wait to slap himself seventeen or eighteen times in his heart. At first, he really wanted to persuade Yu Wenhua and surrender to the Chen Dynasty, after all, the current situation, Chen Pojun occupied Longshang, and destroyed Western Qin to get Longxi. There were only three counties left in Guanzhong, and now these three counties can't be defended. Chen Pojun entered the Guanzhong Plain with a partial division, and in a moment he had already won Feng Yi and Pujin, destroyed 50,000 Xu troops, and captured the Yongfeng granary. Chang'an, Kyoto, does not have more than 10,000 horses.
In the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, it was normal for the heroes to compete for hegemony. But now, anyone can see that this world belongs to Chen Pojun, and the others are just supporting it for a moment. Once Chen Pojun kills him, which one can stop it. These people are originally generations of wealthy families, no matter who becomes the son of heaven, they are always rich and noble. At this time, how can you still be willing to be loyal to the Yuwen clan to the end.
I just heard that it is necessary to collect all the serfs of the families in Chang'an City, as well as their grain, and implement rationing. This already made him very dissatisfied in his heart, if he really insisted on resisting to the end, after the city was broken, what if Chen Pojun was annoyed and slaughtered the officials and soldiers in the city?
But he only said one word, and he was frightened by Yu Wenhua and his fierce eyes. If it weren't for the fact that the back became faster, it is estimated that he would have fallen under Fan Zigai's sword. Fan Zigai, this old man is not a good person. Back then, Yang Guang asked him to Jianghuai to suppress bandits, but as a result, he implemented the three-light policy, killed a blood-stained land in the south of the Yangtze River, killed it, burned it all, and robbed it all. Later, guarding Luoyang, there were few thieves who died under his sword, but there were many children of Luoyang gate lord clan officials who died under his sword. Yuan Min didn't want to try the sharpness of the sword, but now, he was also difficult to ride a horse.
Sent Chen Jun to talk to Chen Kefu about surrendering. If it was really a surrender, he would be the first to lead the way for Chen Pojun. But the damn is going to surrender, Chen Pojun is so easy to coax?
Damn, who is to blame, blame yourself for being cheap, Yuan Min took the holy decree with a smirk, and blamed himself with hatred in his heart.
