Chapter 304: Genius (II)

But Zhao Kuangyin didn't get angry, but asked him to approach and speak, and Xu Xuan said again: "Li Yu is a big thing, like a son and a father, and he has no mistakes, why did he see it?" ”

So he poured out his stomach full of grievances one by one and said hundreds of words. From ancient times to the present, the side is full of references, the words are sad, and the words are sad, if it weren't for the fear that Zhao Kuangyin would be angry, some scholars began to shake their heads when they heard it, this is the first-class scribe!

Zhao Kuangyin didn't refute it, but let him finish speaking, and he didn't distinguish much, at this time Xu Xuan was ready to die, afraid of a ball, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't distinguish it, so he asked lightly: "Tell me, can father and son be separated?" ”

One sentence made Xu Xuan speechless.

The master Zhou Weijian saw that the situation was not good, and handed the letter written by Li Yu to Zhao Kuangyin. Li Yu's writing is even more undoubted, it is well written, and Zhao Kuangyin has also read it, but he said something that made the two almost depressed to death: "I don't understand what your lord said." ”

I don't talk to you about the past and the present, we are soldiers, and we have the way to be soldiers.

Li Yu had no luck, Zhu Lingyun had no luck, so he had to send troops. The country is almost finished, and regardless of what the back road is not the back road, the Hukou soldiers are called 150,000 to the outside world, tied to the raft for the raft, more than 100 zhang long, the battleship is ten times high (ten floors of the war building), can accommodate a thousand soldiers, go downstream, the goal is very simple, burn the quarrying floating beam. Wang Ming stationed troops at Dushukou in the Wanjiang River in Shuzhou, and found out the news, so he asked his son to ride a horse to Beijing to play, asking for another 300 warships and reinforcements to welcome Zhu Lingyun.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "This is not an emergency strategy, once Zhu Lingyun rises up, it will be a smooth wind." The quarry can be reached in the morning and evening, once the floating beams are burned. If the grain and grass cannot be supplied, the three armies will be in chaos. Our army had to withdraw to Jiangbei, and the siege of Jinling was lifted. ”

So he secretly ordered Wang Ming to erect more long trees between the Yangtze River and Pu, like sails.

Wang Ming was suspicious, but this was the emperor's order and had to listen to it. At this time, the advantages of the Song army occupying Chizhou were revealed, and if they wanted to espionage, without the support of the south bank of the Yangtze River, sending a small boat to spy was purely to send them to death.

Zhu Lingyun arrived at the mouth of the Anhui River and saw so many sails in the distance. Thinking it was an ambush, he stopped the fleet to observe. Zhao Kuangyin's move is aimed at the hearts of the people, if Zhu Lingyun is bold, he should have sent troops long ago. The fact that he had only sent out a large soldier until now showed that he was weak and afraid. This gave Cao Bin a precious time, and sent Liu Yu to arrive in time. The two armies met and launched an attack on Zhu Lingyun without a moment's delay. At this time, a fatal flaw of the Tang Army was exposed. The boat is too big, and at this time the river begins to become shallow, whether it is to sail or turn around, it is extremely inconvenient. And it is rumored that Zhu Lingyun's ship weighs more than ten weights. The general of Shangshu was under the banner, and the Song army surrounded it to attack.

Zhu Lingyun was in a hurry to come up with a plan, and he saw that the wind direction was rarely blowing a south wind. He ordered tung oil to be poured into the river and set on fire. Suddenly, a sea of fire floated towards Song Jun. Liu Yu was unable to support it, and he saw a big defeat. But the wind direction suddenly changed to the usual northerly wind.

Zhu Lingyun burned the Song army. The Song army is a little better, they don't have a chain plan, all the warships are scattered together, and they can steer the ships to avoid it. And his warships are all huge, inconvenient to turn around, inconvenient to turn, and one to burn.

The 100,000-strong army was wiped out in the blink of an eye, and Zhu Lingyun and his deputy general Wang Huisheng were captured alive.

A very dangerous battle.

But Cao Bin continued to grind foreign workers, I'm afraid that even Zhao Kuangyin didn't know what he thought at this time. Cao Bin grinded foreign workers, gave Li Yu courage, and sent Xu Xuan and Zhou Weijian to the Song Dynasty. Cao Bin, who was easy to talk, let him go again.

Zhao Kuangyin also received it, but this time it was not so formal, and he only received Xu Erren in the palace. This time, Xu Xuan could only speak in a docile tone: "Your Majesty, Li Yu's gift is very respectful, last time I was really sick, so I didn't pay a pilgrimage, I didn't dare to refuse the edict, and asked Your Majesty to delay the army with the life of the whole people." ”

The words are very sad.

He had good things to say, and Zhao Kuangyin also had good things to say, so he reasoned with him. But the two had different goals, Zhao Kuangyin was to recover the Southern Tang Dynasty, but Xu Xuan asked to withdraw his troops. As he spoke, he discerned. Reasoning Zhao Kuangyin where can he say Xu Xuan, even four times, did not win, Xu Xuan but the more he said, the more excited he became, Zhao Kuangyin was furious, pressed the sword and shouted: "Needless to say, Jiangnan is also guilty, but the world is a family, on the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to snore!" ”

It is really not easy to force Zhao Kuangyin to say this bandit theory nakedly, whether Xu Xuan succeeds or not.

Zhao Kuangyin ignored this talent, but questioned Zhou Weijian, the Son of Heaven was angry, ambushed millions of corpses, and the high-ranking people were frightened, and said: "The minister lives in the mountains, and he has no intention of pursuing a career, it was Li Yu who forcibly sent the minister." Chen Su heard that there are many elixirs in the South Mountain, and it wishes to live in seclusion one day. ”

There are so many Daoshan in the world, is Lushan and Maoshan in the south of the Yangtze River worse than Zhongnan Mountain? This has a voice, Zhao Kuangyin let the two go.

Don't say it anymore, on the side of the couch, it's enough to allow others to snore, with this sentence, it's useless to say anything. Seo Hyun went back silently. Zhao Kuangyin opened the map, because he could see from Xu Xuan that Nantang was still unwilling. He looked at it for a long time, then pointed to the Song Army's Beizhai and said, Inform Cao Bin quickly, dig a deep ditch here immediately, and the Southern Tang people will definitely attack here at night.

Beizhai, where is Panmei's defense area.

From this point, it can also be seen that the military ability of several people is high, Cao Bin is definitely inferior to Pan Mei, but Pan Mei is not as good as Zhao Kuangyin.

Sure enough, there were not many days, and five thousand soldiers and horses from the Southern Tang Dynasty attacked, but Pan Cao and the others had already prepared and came, but one did not go back, and the next day they cleaned the battlefield and found more than a dozen general seals from the dead bodies, which proved that there were no soldiers in the city, and even the generals went out of the city to die. Yes, the white-clothed army, the common people's army. And from spring to winter, the residents are desperate. There is a lot of food in the city, and it is no problem to keep it for another three or four years, but winter is coming, Jinling City is not Guangzhou, and the people want to roast and cook, so what can they do without firewood? Coupled with one defeat and one defeat, the city gradually lost its spirit. Therefore, Cao Bin still attacked slowly, that is, he moved the tiger cannon and the ambush crossbow out and smashed them on the city. As for the Song army's siege soldiers, the casualties were almost zero, and some people died, but they died because of the epidemic, and they had almost nothing to do with the siege.

It was said that it was a slow attack, but in fact it was not attacked at all.

Cao Bin then sent an envoy into the city and said to Li Yu. On the twenty-seventh day of this month, the city will be destroyed. Prepare early for what you want to do.

Li Yu had no choice but to reply to Cao Bin. I will first send my son Li Zhongyu to the capital as a hostage, and then ask for surrender. This clearly showed that he wanted to delay time, but Cao Bin had the ring of punishing Pan Mei Nanhan, and he actually agreed. But Li Yu only said that he would not do it, and after waiting for several days without news, Cao Bin had to urge, and said, Lang Jun does not need to travel far, as long as he goes to my village. Strike on all sides immediately. ”

If there was no precedent for Pan Mei, Cao Bin would never dare to say such a thing, this is also because he is afraid that Li Yu will be in a hurry, and he will learn from Liu Gang to set a fire, that is the first time, if it happens again, he will be miserable. In fact, if it weren't for this money, even Cao Bin's style of play, he would have launched a general attack on Jinling City. Why drag on for nearly a year.

Cao Bin's posture was very low, and Li Yu was moved, but Zhang Xun and others persuaded him that the Jinling city wall was strong. If it could be taken, the Song army would have taken it a long time ago. So Li Yu sent an envoy to Cao Bin to say that his son's clothes and luggage were not ready. The feast in the palace has not yet been held, and it will go out on the 27th. Cao Bin was furious. The envoy sent an envoy to warn Li Yu not to be twenty-seven. Even on the twenty-sixth sunrise, it was late. Li Yu didn't listen.

Cao Bin had no choice, and he still had to attack it even today.

But at this moment, Cao Bin suddenly fell ill, the illness was not light, the big guy was in a hurry, this is about to really start, how can you old man be sick, all the generals came to visit together, Cao Bin panted and said: "My illness is terminal, and it can't be cured." But there is a cure, can you guarantee it? ”

Everyone looked at each other, haven't we been listening to you, including the fact that we haven't started fighting so far, otherwise we would have attacked a long time ago. Cao Bin continued to breathlessly say: "My illness cannot be cured by medicinal stones, as long as everyone swears together that no one will be killed on the day of breaking the city, my illness will be cured." ”

Then he coughed profusely on the bed.

The generals are going to faint together, do you just say it directly, you're still pretending! I had no choice but to make a promise and burn incense and swear to each other. The oath was said in the front, and Cao Bin got up from the bed in the back and discussed with everyone how to attack the city.

Cao Bin is not shameless, shameless in the city.

Siege to the present, many of the city's ministers have suggested surrender.

Earlier it was a shame to want to surrender, but at this time it was wise to want to surrender, if you can resist, then fight, you can defeat once, especially the 100,000 troops who rely on Hukou the biggest one in an instant, and what else to use to resist.

However, Zhang Xun and Chen Qiao always insisted on fighting. The two made an appointment to die, Li Yu agreed, while dealing with Cao Bin, while preparing a lot of dry firewood around the palace, on the day the city was broken, I and my people and Erqing survived together!

The real siege begins.

The hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, as well as the soldiers and horses of Wu Yue, sounded the horn of the attack and the war drum of the general offensive at the same time.

Huge stones flew into the sky like meteor showers, and then they fell again, and then they threw crossbows into the sky, and then they fell, and then ordinary arrows rained down on the city.

The Song army had not yet reached the city wall, and one after another corpses had fallen on the city.

The ladders and various climbing equipment were moved under the city wall, and one after another Song Dynasty soldiers went up to various ladders and quickly climbed to the top of the city.

In less than an hour, the gates of the city were wide open, and the Song army poured into the city like ants.

Cao Bin, Qian Yu, Pan Mei and others were stunned for a while, this is the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty? Cao Bin regretted it a little, he knew that this was the case, and he should have attacked a few months in advance. But he could not say it, otherwise he would not be meritorious, but guilty, and said, "Let's go into the city too." ”

The city was broken, Zhang Xun took his wife and his outfit and Chen Qiao into the palace to see Li Yu, Chen Qiao said: "The minister is responsible for His Majesty, and he is willing to add a poke, if someone in China and the DPRK asks His Majesty, take the minister as an excuse." ”

Li Yu said: "The luck is exhausted, and it is useless to die." ”

Chen Qiao said: "Your Majesty does not kill the ministers, and the ministers do not have the face to meet the countrymen. ”

So he committed suicide.

Zhang Xun said on the side: "The minister and Qiao are in charge of the cardinal affairs together, and the country should die if it is destroyed, but the minister is worried that His Majesty will enter the court, who will identify this matter for His Majesty, so the immortal is to defend His Majesty in the future and identify grievances for His Majesty." ”

Li Yu has no heart to worry about Zhang Xun's shamelessness, and he will be shameless soon. First waved his hand to let Zhang Xun retreat, looking at the dry firewood, whether to burn it or not, but looking at the beautiful Xiao Zhouhou, Huang Baoyi, if it wasn't for Xiao Zhouhou being jealous, drove away some, there are more and more Tianzi national colors in the harem, Liuzhu, Qiao's, Qingnu, Xue Jiu, Yiai, Yike, Niangniang, Qiushui, Xiaohuastamen......

It's not that I'm reluctant to die, it's that I'm making words.

For forty years,

Three thousand miles of mountains and rivers.

Fengge Dragon Tower Lianxiao Han,

The jade tree is made of tobacco dill.

How many times have you ever known how to fight?

Once he was made a vassal,

Shen waist Pan sideburns to wear.

The most hasty resignation temple day,

The church still plays a parting song.

Weeping to Gong E.

is about to be captured by the enemy, and the ancestor has already died, so we don't need to weep to the ancestor, so we are weeping to Gong'e.

The sound of war drums is getting closer, and the shouts of killing are getting closer, and it seems that they are about to reach the gate of the imperial city...... (To be continued......)
