Chapter One Hundred and Nine
In the middle of the night.
The guards came to report, and Chen Yanzheng brought a person to meet him.
Baili Wuji let out a light breath and motioned for please come in.
"Tell the king, fortunately there is no insult, and the side is waiting for it. This is his personal guard. Chen Yanzheng saluted and pointed to the people around him and said.
The man saluted and said: "Meet the king of Chu, and the border marshal ordered a certain to send a letter to the king of Chu." He took out the letter and presented it to Baili Wuji.
"General Chen is hard, please sit down and talk." Baili Wuji said to Chen Yanzheng while opening the secret letter. Bian Hao wrote in the letter that he was willing to submit to the king of Chu, and after tonight, he would launch it in the city to capture Li Jing in order to survive, so that the soldiers defending the city could open the city and surrender without blood. I just hope that the king of Chu can spare the lives of Li Jing and his family, so that he can fulfill the righteousness of this monarch and minister.
Baili Wuji put down the letter, asked people to bring pen and ink, and wrote a reply, indicating that he would not embarrass Li Jing's family, as long as he could enter the city peacefully, he would not hurt anyone's life.
"Give this letter to General Bian, and tell him that this king is waiting for his good news outside the city."
"Yes."
After the man left, Baili Wuji asked Chen Yanzheng: "General Chen, why has it been so long, but Bian Ho is undecided?" ”
Chen Yanzheng replied: "No, General Bian just thought about having a fight with Li Jingjun, and was worried that after the city was sacrificed, the king would be unfavorable to Li Jing's family, so he ......." ”
"Ha Lu Ha ......." Baili Wuji raised his head and smiled.
"General Chen, have you ever heard that a certain person is a murderous person?" Baili Wuji asked with a smile.
"I can't hear about it." Chen Yanzheng bowed his head and replied, but in his heart, who had never heard of a "clean official movement" when occupying a place. And the sea of those who had slain went to .......
Baili Wuji saw his expression and understood that he was not convinced.
sighed lightly: "General Chen knows." Occupy a land, and have the kindness of a woman in your heart. If we do not quickly clean up the old forces and let them grow, once there is a rebellion, the number of people who will die will be several times greater, and the people who die are often innocent people, and those who plot rebellion are all hiding behind the scenes and manipulating. but it afflicted the people who were blindly obedient. ”
……。
The next day, the hour.
The west gate of Jinling Mansion was wide open.
Bian Hao took the Southern Tang Emperor Li Jing, the Empress Zhong and seven sons and three daughters, as well as the civil and military officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty, out of the city to surrender.
When these people worship together on the earth. Baili Wuji stepped forward and helped Li Jing up.
"The king has heard that His Majesty is benevolent and unwilling to raise up sword soldiers. But now the world is too evil, the Khitan foreign tribe is ruthless by nature, and millions of Han people in the sixteen states of Youyun are waiting for some kind of salvation. As long as Your Majesty has no intention of rebellion, this king will keep your whole family safe. ”
"Sinners don't dare to be the king of Chu to call His Majesty, and the sinner Xie Chu King is not killed." Li Jing wanted to worship again. But he was held by Baili Wuji.
Baili Wuji turned his face and asked, "Which prince is Li Congjia?" ”
Li Jing hurriedly beckoned, and a teenage boy stood up from the crowd, and Li Jing stepped forward to pull him in front of Baili Wuji. "Back to the King of Chu, this son is."
Baili Wuji looked at this delicate little boy with a complicated expression, and sighed in his heart. I wonder if Lu Daoru will be able to write poppies that have been passed down through the ages in the future? Hey, that's a pity.
Seeing Baili Wuji, he looked at his son in a daze for a long time. Li Jing didn't understand what this little son had to do with the King of Chu, and he was very worried that Baili Wuji would not be good for him. Hurriedly and cautiously asked, "I don't know where Lu Dao Xiao'er offended King Chu?" ”
Baili Wuji came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is undoubted, this king is just a moment of emotion, Your Majesty will cultivate this son well in the future, everyone get up and follow this king into the city." ”
The ninth day of March in the ninth year of Shu Guangzheng.
The king of Chu Baili Wuji led a special combat army into Jinling Mansion, and the Southern Tang Dynasty perished.
Baili Wuji sent a letter to Tanzhou and ordered Xu Shiming and Sun Guangxian to organize the relocation of the capital to Jinling.
……。
The three small countries surrounded by the regiments, the upper headquarters, the lower headquarters, and the Anfang were easily captured.
The north of Kai is already Kinoshita's territory.
After half a year of hard work, among the three equestrian producing countries of Mutsu, Dewa, and Kai, Kinoshita Shixu finally selected more than 5,000 horses with a height of three and a half feet, and only 5,000 of the nearly 60,000 horses were selected, which was really helpless.
These more than 5,000 war horses were used to equip the soldiers of the expeditionary force, and Kinoshita Shixu only trusted these soldiers from the Chu State in his heart.
Every month, Kinoshita would send someone to bring silver or gold to Emperor Suzaku. Here, neither Kinoshita nor Kinoshita Morishi knew what the gold and silver were used for, and there was really nothing to buy except for food, so it might be the only use to give it to the emperor.
Therefore, the relationship between the monarch and the minister is becoming more and more harmonious, of course, the biggest reason is that Kinoshita Shixu married the princess Yasuko.
Last month, Kinoshita Shixu personally went to Beijing to meet the emperor, hoping to get the emperor's permission to continue the emperor's westward expedition, and only by controlling the mountain castle and holding Heiankyo in his hands can he truly become the emperor's henchman.
With his absolute power to control the countries north of Kai, Kinoshita's request was tacitly approved by Emperor Suzaku.
After months of training and preparation.
Today, the army is ready, and the cavalry of the expeditionary force has been trained.
The first day of April.
Kinoshita Shixu ordered Kinoshita Morinto to lead the Ezo army and 20,000 Fuso troops to garrison Kofu.
He led 30,000 pikemen and more than 5,000 cavalry of the expeditionary force to the west to conquer Shinano.
Half a month later, Kinoshita Shixu successfully captured Shinano and sent troops to Mino.
At this time, Fujiwara Tadahei secretly ordered the six countries of Ise, Omi, Echizen, Echichu, Kaga, and Mino, to form a Shixu encirclement network, and gathered 50,000 troops to block Kinoshita's Shixu headquarters in front of Ogaki Castle.
The war began outside Ogaki Castle.
Due to the lack of war horses in the Six-Nation Alliance, they were all swordsmen and pikemen. After the start of the battle, the 30,000 allied troops formed a phalanx of spearmen and rushed towards the Fusang army array, while two more archers stayed in place and began to fire arrows. Leaving 20,000 coalition troops to form a large phalanx to watch the battle in the rear.
Kinoshita Shixu ordered 30,000 Fuso troops to also form a phalanx and launch an attack, and he led more than 5,000 cavalry of the expeditionary force to choose a slope behind the Fuso army formation to watch the duel.
The Fusang army did not have archers, all of them were spearmen, equipped with spears and armor transported from the Chu State, and the arrows fired by the coalition army could not even shoot the armor of the soldiers of the Fusang army, unless the shot exposed the outer arms or legs and feet, basically could not pose any big threat.
After several rounds of firing, the coalition generals realized this, so they ordered the phalanx of archers to put down their bows and arrows, take their spears, form two phalanxes of spearmen, and launched an attack.
As soon as the soldiers of both sides fought, the advantages and disadvantages were revealed.
The coalition soldiers were mostly farmers who had laid down their farming tools, and were untrained or even untrained. (To be continued......)
