Chapter 325: Nanyang Fengyun

The flag of Nanyang City fluttered in the autumn wind, and the officers and soldiers on the side of the battlements looked at the distance one by one, although it was a sunny day, but the sky over the whole city was still like dark clouds, and everyone was out of breath! Just kidding, there are only more than 3,000 officers and soldiers guarding a small city, but they have to face the hundreds of thousands of thieves outside, whose face can be good-looking!

"The thieves have been besieging the city for six days, and there has been no attack except for the first day, what does this mean, will there be any deception?" There were several people standing on the tower of the north gate of Nanyang City, and one of them was a middle-aged man who looked like a civil official and said!

"What can there be? More than 100,000 thieves besieged us and still used deception, Yao Zhixian don't think so much, it is the right thing to mobilize the people to help defend it, otherwise once the city is broken, the whole city will suffer, and the means of the thief army are not much worse than the Manchu dogs! "The one who spoke was a tiger general in military uniform, who was as fierce as a tiger in Nanyang, and the civil official who spoke to him was Yao Yunxi, the magistrate of Nanyang!

"General Tiger! The thief leader besieged the city, but did not rush to attack, but set up a large camp in the purple mountain north of the city, but what is the reason? The real name of the fierce tiger is actually called Tiger Dawei, because of the ferocity of the battle, it is customary to call it fierce as a tiger, and the old masters in the officialdom are still used to calling him General Tiger.

"Hehe", fierce as a tiger took out a monocular clairvoyant and looked at the direction of the north of the city and smiled: "There is no reason, it is nothing more than to put pressure on us to win without a fight, Lord Yan, didn't you see those surrender books that he shot in, just to let us give up Nanyang!" ”

"General Nahu......" Yan Riyu's face tightened

"The prefect underestimated my tiger someone, thinking that my tiger has been marching since he was a child, from a small pawn to killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions to the current chief military officer, how could it be possible to surrender those thieves and insult the name of my tiger family, not to mention that now, even if I was assigned to the border earlier, I am so downtrodden, and I have no second heart! In a word, I lived and died together in Nanyang, and the prefect had to mention this in the future, which made me unhappy! Fierce as a tiger, the already tall man was tall and big at this moment, and he said bold words with a straight face, and immediately suppressed Yan Riyu, "General Tiger's atonement is a gaffe in this mansion!" ”

"The general's words are too popular with me, and I, Yao Yunxi, am willing to live and die with Nanyang City with the general." Yao Yunxi, who was listening to the chatter of the two bigwigs, said excitedly! Fierce as a tiger turned his head and glanced at him when he heard this, hehe laughed! "Li Thief will do what we want!"

"General Tiger is saying this...... Nanyang City, we can't hold it? Yan Riyu's face was very solemn

"The prefect has some things to say, I don't say it, you can see it, Nanyang City is not a city with high walls, and the garrison is only 3,000 people, not to mention the more than 100,000 horses of the thief army, just their artillery, how can we resist?" Fierce as a tiger said in a voice that gradually deepened, "There are many auspicious battles in this battle, everyone should be mentally prepared first, unless they ......"

"Unless what?" At this moment, a majestic man in his thirties led a few people onto the city wall, and when he heard this, several people hurriedly saluted: "Knock on the prince!" ”

"When did you pay attention to these things, and quickly say that unless that's the case?" , This young man is the Tang King Zhu Yujian, whose fief is in Nanyang, that is, the King of Jingqin who has been coaxed into Jingqin for nine years, and is now locked up in Fengyang to guard the ancestral tomb, and will become the younger brother of Zhu Yujian, the second emperor of Nanming, in the future! It was because he was imprisoned that it was his younger brother Zhu Yujun's turn to be crowned king. That is, the person who was miswritten by later generations as Zhu Yuyu's miscommunication for 46 years before he died.

Although this Zhu Yuzhen is not as ambitious and domineering as his brother, he is also a responsible guy, at least a hundred times better than the Fu King of Luoyang, he has been besieged and refuses to pay for food to mobilize the people to defend the city, he deserves to be stewed! At least Zhu Yuzhen knew that once the city was broken, he would be the first to die, so he was not stingy at all, and began to spend money and mobilize the people to defend the city from the siege of the thief army.

"Go back to the prince, unless we have reinforcements! It's just that you see that the thief army is so powerful, although the old camp is stationed in the Purple Mountain, but the iron barrels surrounded by the east, west, north and south are like iron barrels, I'm afraid that reinforcements will come...... Not to mention that it's still a question of whether you can fight or not! Fierce as a tiger exhaled deeply and said

"Huh?". Zhu Yujian's face suddenly turned to ashes, "Then according to the general, even if you come to reinforce the army, it will be more than lucky, and you will die for a lifetime!" ”

"Obey the destiny of God. Nine deaths are better than a dead end", Meng Ruhu even laughed at this time, but obviously others did not have such a good attitude as him, because in addition to him being a civil official, there is also a prince who only eats, drinks and has fun on weekdays. It's good that you don't have to pee your pants now!

"Didn't General Tiger send someone to the surrounding area to ask for help, I don't know ......" The person who said this is a civil official who has been following Tang King Zhu Yujian, this person is Ai Yuchu, who was killed together with several bigwigs on the tower of Nanyang in history and several bigwigs on the city tower in Henan Runan, Henan!

"There are a lot of people sent out, but the problem is that there are almost no reinforcements for hundreds of miles around. The states and counties to which they belong have also fallen into the hands of the thief army, even if there are a few people who dare to come to the rescue in the face of such a huge thief army, what is even more infuriating is that several general soldiers and governors who were originally responsible for encircling and suppressing the thief army were suddenly transferred away by the emperor! I heard that it's all a bad idea from that bullshit uncle, now it's good, the entire territory of Henan and Shanxi is the world of thieves, we are thrown here and no one wants it, we can only rely on ourselves", Meng Ruhu said and looked up at the sky with a dead heart!

"So, the general means that the reinforcements are gone? Didn't you hear that Zuo Liangyu, the general of the Ping Thief, is still in the territory, can you ask him to send troops to help? Everyone looked anxious, especially Zhu Yujian, who almost burst into bruises, and began to curse the Fu Xingbo who fooled the emperor into transferring troops and leaving!

"That's not all, Liu Guangzuo, the deputy chief soldier of Xiangcheng, promised to come to support! As for Zuo Liangyu's pickled goods that eat inside and out, don't count on it! Fierce as a tiger said and exhaled deeply, "Although Mr. Liu is just a drop of water, it is better than nothing!" ”

"What the general said, but Liu Guangzuo, the general of Fu Zonglong, the former governor of Shaanxi, who had just defeated the thief army in September and was killed outside Xiangcheng by Xincai?" Ai Yuchu asked eagerly!

"Liu Guangzuo is not Fu Zonglong's person, but Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, Shandong, and Hebei," Meng Ruhu glanced at Ai Yuchu with some surprise, and finally knew more than those civil officials

"I heard that this person can fight well and is quite prestigious, dare to ask the general, is it true?" Ai Yuchu asked

"How many people can be the chief soldier come by slapping their whiskers", Meng Ruhu said and glanced at Yao Yunxi and Yan Riyu next to him, not that the two of them relied on whiskers to shoot horses, just a typical civil and military mismatch! Subconscious contempt for each other.

"This Liu Guangzuo does have two brushes, Chongzhen was born in the sixth year to sweep the thief army grass king in Jinzhong, what is flying across the ditch, fighting the tiger, and the big thief Kou He Zonghan were all destroyed by him. This man is good at fighting! Able to fight! "The so-called Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second, as peers who do not obey each other, and as a military general, he is as fierce as a tiger, and it is quite face-saving to evaluate Liu Guangzuo like this! It also reflects from the side that this Liu Guangzuo has two brushes!

"It turned out to be a fierce general, that's great", Tang Wang was immediately happy when he heard it!

"Lord Wang", fierce as a tiger glanced at Zhu Yujiao, "Don't be happy too early, how brave is it in the face of hundreds of thousands of thieves?" "You must know that Governor Yang Wenyue's subordinates were originally only more than 20,000 people, after a defeat, do you think Liu Guangzuo can bring a few people now!"

Zhu Yujian's face became darker and darker, until he became the bottom of the pot, and finally couldn't help but scold: "Since the hemp ones are all dead anyway, those dog thieves don't think it will be so easy to take Nanyang, General Tiger, there are still hundreds of families in my house, my eldest brother was the ...... You know...... These families are brave and loyal. Now I'll leave it all to General Tiger under your command! ”

"Hahahaha, good! It's a vigorous death, the prince's words are very much in line with my liking, and it is not in vain for me to smear your Zhu family's liver and brain! Fierce as a tiger let go of his throat and laughed, and a sense of pride suddenly infected everyone present: "Swear to defend Nanyang City to the death!" ”

There is a mountain more than 20 kilometers north of Nanyang City, this mountain is very famous, and there are many places where he is famous, such as the retreat of Pang Shiyuan at the beginning, that is, the phoenix chick. Zhuge Liang's good friend, there is still a historic site Feng Xiaotai. For example, here is the cemetery of the Tang kings of the Ming Dynasty, there are no less than ten princesses buried before and after, so it is called the Nanyang Ming Tombs, of course, he is more famous is Li Zicheng stationed here at any time to look at Nanyang City.

There are many temples and Taoist temples on Purple Mountain Mountain, but the most famous is the temple halfway up the mountain, called Lingshan Temple. Because there is a big stone next to the temple, called Liu Xiushi, as the name suggests, this has a little to do with Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor of the Han Dynasty, yes, because Liu Xiu slept on this stone back then. I was paralyzed and curious about where the stone where Liu Xiu had urinated and back then!

It is said that Liu Xiu slept lazily on the big stone back then, and now there are a few people sitting on it, one of them is a majestic man with a full face and a majestic face, looking at a tall pine tree by the stone, squinting his eyes, holding a hay in his mouth, looking at Nanyang in the distance, and falling into deep thought, this man is Li Zicheng of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, there is a mistake in the previous text, at this time his left eye is not blind, because it is not yet his second siege of Kaifeng, and I believe that there is no chance of a second siege, so Chen Yongfu has no chance to brag everywhere!

"Why does the Lord not fight Nanyang, what is the reason?" As a military advisor, Li Yan now has figured out what Li Zicheng's intentions are, and now almost all the prefectures and counties in the Heluo area have fallen into the hands of the righteous army, he really can't understand why he doesn't take advantage of the lack of officers and soldiers here now, and instead of taking a small city like Nanyang in one fell swoop, he wastes time basking in the sun here

"Although Nanyang is a strong city, it is a small city of eight miles and thirteen steps after all, and it can still be won in one fell swoop with a little effort, but have you noticed something different recently?" Li Zicheng's eyes opened as he spoke

What does the Lord mean by the difference? Nanyang's city walls or something else? Li Yan said he didn't understand

"I'm talking about the recent situation, don't you think that there are no officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress the place we passed this time, and we haven't even encountered it, and those officers and soldiers who were originally chasing after us seem to have disappeared all at once! Don't you think it's weird," Li Zicheng said, rubbing his head

"Isn't there a rumor that Chongzhen transferred troops to the border before, presumably the Manchu Qing Dynasty is now persecuted very tightly, you must know that the capital is only separated from the Manchu Qing Dynasty by a mountain pass, the dog emperor naturally did not dare to be careless, it is estimated that it is because the Manchu Qing Dynasty has made another big move, which led to his transfer of troops. Didn't you almost finish the capital a few years ago! Why should the Lord be strange! Li Yan sank for a while, and after thinking about it, he felt that this was the only explanation!

"I always feel that something is wrong, the dog emperor can't transfer all the officers and soldiers who dealt with us in order to deal with Qinggou, even if he didn't show mercy to us when the Qing dog soldier Chen Jingcheng was a few years ago, so this time the matter is not so simple, and more importantly, the day before yesterday Xiucai said that when he met Zuo Liangyubu to send money to buy the road, he also heard some news that it was to let a careful and powerful person come to put us in the pigsty to fight, I have never understood what this means?" Li Zicheng said with a frown

"Pigsty? Awesome characters? What powerful characters are there in the Ming Dynasty now, those who can fight are either killed by us or slaughtered by the dog emperor himself, where are there any powerful characters, could it be Gao Jie's dog thief? Li Yan's words were full of disdain, and Li Zicheng on the side listened to his words, his face darkened suddenly, and then he slammed his fist on the pine tree beside him, "Don't mention the name of that dog thief to me, I hate it to the core, and I will definitely kill him with my own hands!" ”

"It's the Lord, what does it have to do with this matter if you dare to ask the Lord if you don't fight Nanyang in the end?" , Li Yan is a smart person and quickly diverted the topic and returned to the topic

"Haha, it's useless to ask others about this matter, let's ask Song Shorty, this is his idea", at this time, the old man who thought he was in his fifties took over the conversation, this person is Li Zicheng's other military bull Venus!

Oh, Li Yan turned his head to look at a hobbit on the side when he heard the sound, that is, Song Xiance, who was born as a warlock in the rivers and lakes, and said with a respectful face: "Li Yan has been in the army of Luo Xiucai at the bottom of the mountain recently, and I don't know Teacher Song's clever plan, and I am willing to listen to the teacher's guidance", Li Yan respects Song Xiance very much, first of all, this person's character is countless times better than Niu Jinxing, Niu Jinxing is Li Yan's recommendation to Li Zicheng's superior, and the first thing after Li Yan recommended him to Li Zicheng was to design a frame-up and kill Li Yan, and his character can be described as just now! Secondly, Song Xiance is indeed a bull, a roundabout tactic made Li Zicheng, who was originally tired of fleeing for his life, become the ancestor of guerrilla warfare, and first killed Fu Zonglong, the governor of Shaanxi, and then made Yang Wenyue, the governor of Baoding, like a dog eating shit, and was tired of running around behind his ass like a dog eating shit, and as a result, Li Zicheng took the opportunity to capture many states and counties!

"I can't talk about a clever plan", Hobbi stroked his beard and smiled, "I just want to see the situation, and then take the opportunity to cultivate the soldiers, rectify the morale, and by the way, see what kind of medicine the imperial court sells, why suddenly there are almost no officers and soldiers in the entire Shandong Province, could it be that there is really some big move on the Manchu side?" We just want to wait for the news, anyway, now the surrounding states and counties are in the pocket of my righteous army, and a small Nanyang is at your fingertips at any time! ”

"I see!" Li Yan nodded, and what Teacher Song said made sense!

"Nanyang is the defender, let's attack it easily, to be honest, if it weren't for the Tang Wangfu there, I wouldn't even bother to fight!" Li Zicheng laughed! Niu Jinxing on the side smiled even more cheerfully, "At the beginning of the year, we conquered Luoyang and gained a lot from King Fu's mansion, at least enough for our righteous army for ten years, this time we will take Nanyang Tang King must not be less, with these money and food, why worry about me and other big things, it is only one step away from the lord ascending the throne on his day!" ”

Hahaha, Li Zicheng raised his head and laughed wildly, shocking everyone's ears numb, "When I achieve a great cause, I will naturally not lose you and other heroes, and after three days, if I am as fierce as a tiger and do not surrender, I will order to attack the city and eat the flesh of the Tang King!" Haha", Li Zicheng stood on the cliff and looked into the distance and laughed wildly!
