Chapter 133: Mission Accomplished
Speaking of which, it is also the defenders of Xiangyang and Fancheng who will not grasp the fighters. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoIf they took advantage of the chaos in the Mongol camp and launched an attack outside the city, Li Tang would definitely become very passive.
Unfortunately, they were frightened by the Mongol army and did not dare to go out of the city to fight against the Mongol army. Moreover, they were worried that the purpose of these self-directed and self-staged traps of the Mongol army was to trick them out of the city. After all, something is abnormal, and there are Ah Shu and Shi Tianze in the Mongolian camp, how can there be infighting for no reason?
So, the defenders of Xiangyang and Fancheng missed the best fighters.
While attacking the city wall, Li Tang sent people into the city to persuade him to surrender and threatened to slaughter the city.
The walls of Xiangyang are taller, but they are more likely to be bombarded by return artillery. After all, the larger the return cannon, the easier it was to focus, and in a shorter time, the wall of Xiangyang also collapsed.
At this time, the wall of another part of Fancheng also collapsed. What do walls mean to a city? That means safety, it means security!
The collapse of the city wall is like a beautiful woman being stripped naked and lying next to a group of ** criminals, which completely crushes the resistance consciousness of the generals in the city.
It's a pity that the loyalty of the Han people in their bones still makes them unable to make up their minds to go out of the city and surrender.
At this time, Li Tang had not yet attacked. Although, attacking at this time, it is definitely possible to capture the two cities, but as a last resort, Li Tang is still unwilling to fight against his compatriots.
Therefore, Li Tang used another plan to stimulate the law. After Li Tang collapsed the walls of the two cities, he said that it was just a gesture to attack the city, out of compassion and compassion, Li Tang decided not to attack for the time being, but asked the supreme commanders of the two cities to go out of the city and ask Li Tang for guilt, otherwise once Li Tang entered the city, he would slaughter the city, and the chickens and dogs would not be left!
At the same time, he also asked Ah Shu to swear in the city that after the supreme commanders of the two cities left the city, Ah Shu would not harm their lives, and no matter what the outcome was, they would be sent back to the city intact in one day.
In private, Li Tang made people rumor that Ah Shu was not a murderer, and there was a lot of controversy within Mongolia about the slaughter of the city, especially the Han generals opposed the slaughter of the city, but because at the beginning of the siege, Ah Shu had threatened to slaughter the city after breaking the city, and the sergeant and all the generals knew about it, and the soldiers and many generals were looking forward to slaughtering the city and robbing, so they were afraid that after entering the city, the Mongolian soldiers would not be bound by the generals, and they would slaughter the city without authorization, and they could not control it.
Therefore, Ah Shu came up with such a play, so that the generals of the two cities could personally go out of the city to apologize and calm the grievances of the soldiers, so that there was a reason to stop the Mongolian soldiers from slaughtering the city.
Li Tang threw out such a reason, so that the two top generals of the city couldn't sit still. Because, on the one hand, they swore outside the city that they would not harm their lives and that they would be sent back in a day's time, and on the other hand, if they did not leave the city, the Mongols would slaughter the city.
At this time, there is no saying that the Mongols can't get in, the city walls have collapsed, it can be said that there is no danger to defend, there is no danger to be feared, the Mongols want to come in is only a matter of minutes, the fighting power of the Mongols is known to everyone, once they make up their minds to attack in, the defenders of the city are absolutely unable to resist, not to mention that the Mongols besieged but did not attack, coupled with the miracles shown by Li Tang, so that the morale in the city was extremely low.
Other generals in the city, some people also think that this is a conspiracy of the Mongols, don't go out of the city, don't be fooled. However, most of the generals, although they did not speak, still showed some kind of expectation in their eyes, while the people and soldiers in the city saw that their leaders did not agree, and they were inevitably a little disappointed, thinking that the leaders were a little greedy for life and afraid of death.
As a result, a kind of centrifugal and detached mood began to spread in the city!
After thinking about it several times, Lu Wende, the defender of Xiangyang City (Historically, Lu Wende has died of illness, but here to commemorate him, so let him live. After explaining the aftermath, with an attitude of being sluggish and cold, the strong man will never return, he left the city and entered the Mongolian tent.
Lu Wende had to go out of the city, because Lu Wende and his entire family were in Xiangyang. Moreover, Lu Wende is already an old man, and it is estimated that he will not have a few years to live, and besides, Lu Wende can fight the Mongolian army for decades, how can he be a person who is afraid of death and cherishes his life?
If you go out by yourself, you can really save the people of Xiangyang from being slaughtered and your family from being wiped out, then you will make money! And if the Mongols don't keep their word and kill themselves, they can only arouse the resentment of the people in Xiangyang City, resist to the death, and they can be regarded as a well-deserved death!
Therefore, Lu Wende made up his mind and left Xiangyang City.
To everyone's surprise, a day later, Lu Wende, who had originally planned to take up justice, was not only unharmed, but left the Mongolian tent in good spirits and returned to Xiangyang City.
After that, Ah Shu announced in a high-profile manner that in view of General Lu Wende, he had apologized for the resistance, indicating that it was his own master, and the Mongolian army would not be held accountable, and the city of Xiangyang could still resist, but after the Mongolian army broke the city, it would not face the civilians who did not hold weapons.
The news reached Fancheng, and Fan Tianshun, the guard of Fancheng, couldn't sit still. Regardless of his position or experience and prestige, Fan Tianshun is far from being able to catch up with Lu Wende. Lu Wende can go out of the city, don't you dare?
This Fan Tianshun is definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, Fan Tianshun in the history of later generations, was broken in the city, the general trend has gone, and he has no power to return to the sky, and when the main general Lu Wenhuan surrendered to the Mongols, he did not choose to give in, but took the most tragic way to show the Mongols the blood of the Han people, and hanged himself.
How could such a person be greedy for life and afraid of death? He didn't go out of the city, but he didn't worry about his city, and he was worried that it was just a Mongol conspiracy! After Fan Tianshun thought about it, when he saw that as the spiritual pillar of the entire Han Dynasty's resistance to the Mongols, Lü Wende returned to the city, and the Mongols did not force the queen.
So, he resolutely decided to go out of the city and go to the Mongol camp to make his position clear to the Mongols, but he would never apologize.
Speaking of this Fan Tianshun, he is actually a second-generation official. His uncle is Fan Wenhu, and Fan Wenhu's father-in-law is Lu Wende.
Speaking of Fan Tianshun's uncle Fan Wenhu, he is much more famous than Fan Tianshun. Fan Wenhu was in the Great Song Dynasty, the deputy commander of the official to the palace, and he was a very popular minister, but unfortunately he was a big straw bag.
Before seeing the Mongols in the war, he pulled the army of the Great Song Dynasty and surrendered directly to the Mongols. Moreover, after Fan Wenhu arrived in Mongolia, he was even more prosperous.
Later, this person led troops to attack Japan, and after the defeat of the typhoon, he abandoned more than 100,000 expeditionary soldiers and escaped alone.
Within a few years, he was reappointed. A straw bale scumbag, the official fortune is like this, which makes people sigh!
But this Fan Tianshun is not like his uncle at all, Fan Tianshun followed Zhang Shun and Zhang Gui all the way into the siege when Xiangyang was in difficulty, rushed to Xiangyang, and gave grain, grass, materials, and confidence to the Xiangyang defenders. Then, after Zhang Shun died in battle, Zhang Gui withdrew to receive reinforcements from Yingzhou, and resolutely stayed in Xiangyang, wanting to live and die with the city.
Then he was stationed in Fancheng, and after Fancheng was broken, he retreated to Xiangyang. After the loss of Xiangyang City and the surrender of the defender Lu Wenhuan, Fan Tianshun would rather die than be disgraced, leaving behind "Whoever is willing to surrender will die, and he will also be a great Song ghost." The eternal quatrain is not tragic!
Compared to his uncle, his character is 10,000 times better!
Fan Tianshun went out of the city and arrived at the Mongolian camp, where Li Tang personally received him, and poured wine and served wine and food with his own hands.
For this Fan Tianshun, Li Tang admires it a lot, so he is indeed willing to pour wine and serve this person.
Moreover, Li Tang was also unwilling to use force on Fan Tianshun, so he was unwilling to forcibly ask Fan Tianshun to enter his Qiankun bracelet, but added high-grade sweat medicine to Fan Tianshun's wine. This sweat medicine, even if Huang Zhong eats it, it is estimated that he will have to fall asleep.
Because, as soon as he entered the Qiankun bracelet, it was equivalent to the death of the original Fan Tianshun, and what came out was a completely new person, who basically had nothing to do with Fan Tianshun, so Li Tang was still a little unbearable.
However, thinking of Fan Tianshun's character, it is estimated that he was either killed by the Mongols or killed by his own people, so Li Tang must still include this person in the Qiankun bracelet. At least, this person's flesh is still continuing!
"Maybe the soul is still alive, but the memory has changed!" Li Tang comforted himself like this.
Li Tang and Fan Tianshun drank to each other, and while drinking, they told the ins and outs of the whole incident. When it was said that the Mongolian Tartar had actually been subdued by Li Tang, Fan Tianshun's eyelids had already begun to fight, and his eyes were a little confused. When it was said that the Mongol Tatars would eventually dominate the Great Song Dynasty, but he would take all the people of the two cities away, Fan Tianshun's eyes finally closed, but the expression on his face was very gratifying, and he seemed to be satisfied with such an ending.
And Li Tang was relieved when he saw Fan Tianshun's expression. Otherwise, treating a righteous man whom he respects the most in this way will still have some pimples in his heart.
A day later, Fan Tianshun returned to the city safely.
Then, the Mongols and the city saw a rare scene of peace.
First of all, the Mongol army no longer blindly surrounded the city, but retreated ten miles to set up a fortress, leaving a life passage for each of the two cities.
Secondly, the Mongols no longer attacked the walls of the two cities, as they did for many days.
After the two leaders returned to the city safely, they also invited Ah Shu back to thank them for not having the grace to slaughter the city.
Of course, Ah Shu did not go to the banquet, but entrusted Li Tang and others to go to accept the thank you banquet.
During the banquet, the main generals of the army basically came to accompany them. After all, the other party said that he was not right to slaughter the two cities, and it was his own side to invite guests to dinner, so many generals came.
However, no matter how powerful a person is, he can't compete with Li Tang's special effect sweat medicine. Moreover, the people who drugged were Lu Wende and Fan Tianshun, so how could the other generals guard against it?
Eventually, the supreme commanders of the two cities began to organize the people to move in batches to places where there was no war. After all, the Mongols also left a passage for life in the city.
As a result, the people in the city began to carry fine and soft and other things, and under the organization and maintenance of the Great Song soldiers, they withdrew to the south. Li Tang, on the other hand, made people use thunderstorm flags and flying snow flags to make the road muddy, and it was extremely distracting to walk.
Li Tang's purpose was not to evacuate the people, but to take advantage of the fact that the people were tired and asleep, and to ingest them all into the Qiankun bracelet. After all, this is the most efficient way to collect people.
Of course, for those who can't be taken away at one time, just waste some sweat medicine, and if the sweat medicine is not enough, go out and buy it.
At this time, the soldiers in the city, under the arrangement of the commanders, began to frantically loot the wealth left in the city, as well as the materials in the houses, building materials, etc., and then put them together. The next thing is that Li Tang successfully accepted all the people, materials, soldiers, etc......
