Chapter 53: Guan Long Qin Feng 13
readx;?? How could a fire suddenly break out in Xianyang City, it is impossible to verify the exact cause of such a thing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ¼.. ļ¼
In the systematic camp of the opera pavilion, Zhang Jiashi conveyed a note to the heralds sent over, and after reading the ten words of this note: The fire cannot be controlled, and the only way to hold on to the south is to stick to it. Zhang Jiashi had to shake his head and sigh.
He handed this note to Chen Ping and said, "What do you think of General Shi's move?"
Chen Ping quickly finished reading the ten words above, and he knew what Zhang Jiashi's question was trying to say.
For Zhang Jiashi. What it means to have a complete Xianyang City, Chen Ping knows very well. But Zhang Jiashi did not act recklessly, such as giving an order to put out the fire in Xianyang City at all costs, knowing that Zhang Jiashi had approved of Jian's judgment.
Xianyang City is too big, although after nearly a day of hard work, the army under Zhang Jiashi's command and the remnants of the Weiwei Army gradually fought for control of Xianyang City, but after paying a considerable price, Zhang Jiashi, who still did not complete this goal, was not angry.
He knew very well that such a situation was already a very good result.
Although Zhang Jiashi did not know exactly how many casualties the officers and soldiers under his command were, he knew very well that with more than 30,000 people under his command, it was impossible to extinguish the fierce fire in the north of Xianyang City.
Even if Zhang Jiashi asked Li Cang and the more than 10,000 reserves in the opera pavilion to join in the rescue, I am afraid that there will be no change in the result.
Rather than pay such a heavy price that should not have happened, the decision was enough to keep Zhang Jiashi silent.
Perhaps, because of this decision, many people in Xianyang City will be burned to death. But he doesn't think how many people would survive even if he had to put out the fire.
Chen Ping looked at Zhang Jiashi for a while before he said, "Your Majesty, what should General Shi do?"
Zhang Jiashi slowly closed his eyes, and only opened his eyes after about half a minute, and said a word: "Let General Shi act expediently." ā
Chen Ping, Sun Po, Cao Shen and others, as well as some middle-level officers in the camp tent, all looked at each other.
Zhang Jiashi said this, he didn't intend to take such a thing on his shoulders. It's the first time they've ever encountered it.
For them, Zhang Jiashi's plan is not a good thing. But Chen Ping and others were quickly relieved, because they knew very well that Zhang Jiashi could not and could not take such a thing on himself. Of course, Zhang Jiashi can do this. But if he wants to accurately control the Guanzhong region, he must not do so.
It is certainly unfair to make Jian the scapegoat, but no one can take on this responsibility more appropriately than Jian.
They don't believe in anything wrong, but even so, what can they do?
Their Liaodong Army is not innocent, but few people will fully believe what they say. Especially the people in Xianyang City.
It's unfair to rely on just one person to take responsibility, but is there a better way to do it right now?
No, otherwise, Chen Ping would not have secretly shook his head at the others and advised them not to say much in this regard.
Chen Ping looked at Zhang Jiashi, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Your Majesty, the general is ...... later."
Chen Ping didn't finish his words, but most of the people in the camp knew what Chen Ping meant by this.
Zhang Jiashi moved his lips, but it took a while before he said this: "After the capture of Xianyang and the stabilization of the situation in the Guanzhong area, let General Shi go to Korea and take over Mr. Li's position for a few years." ā
After hearing Zhang Jiashi's words, Chen Ping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, because Zhang Jiashi didn't intend to let Ji die to apologize, but chose this way.
Of course, some Guanzhong people will feel dissatisfied with this kind of treatment, but Zhang Jiashi is unlikely to lose one of his generals because of this kind of thing.
After Chen Ping glanced at Zhang Jiashi, he said, "The order is still conveyed by Ping himself. I wonder what the king thinks?"
Zhang Jiashi naturally knew that Chen Ping was doing this, and he wanted to help him appease him. Because Zhang Jiashi didn't know if there would be no complaints in such a situation.
"Then there's Mr. Lao Chen. Zhang Jiashi said this sentence helplessly.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
When Chen Ping saw Jian, he was in a house in the south of Xianyang's East-West Street, commanding the troops to deal with the continuous influx, mixed with the remnants of the civilian guard army.
In many places, signs have been erected saying that people with weapons are not allowed to come.
Although the fire has not yet spread to this area. But three or four hundred meters to the north, many buildings were gradually affected by the fire.
No one knew how many people had died in the fire, but it was clear that many of the Qin troops he had arranged south of the street were very tired.
However, before the theater camp did not respond, he had to arrange it this way.
Some passages on the south side of the street, and even on the tops of nearby houses, were arranged with a large number of crossbowmen, and on both sides of the street, there were a large number of Liaodong County shield soldiers on the periphery, and crossbowmen inside.
In the nearby houses, there are many people who directly bring a large amount of water from wells or river ditches in Xianyang City, ready to be used when needed.
"Put!"
In the face of the sky-high fire in the north of Xianyang City, from time to time, the officers with crossbowmen ordered their crossbowmen to shoot.
The archers on the rooftops and behind the heavy infantry shot a rain of arrows from time to time. Many of the remnants of the Guards, as well as the entrapmented civilians, were nailed to the ground.
The corpses of the officers and soldiers of the guards, as well as the officials and civilians in Xianyang City, were greatly increased on the north side of a street, as well as in some houses.
Of course, in such a situation, the officers and men of the Liaodong Army also paid quite heavy casualties.
Because in some dark houses that are not too far away, cold arrows and even rockets will be shot from time to time.
As a last resort, many crossbowmen of the Liaodong Army, under the orders of their own officers, also shot rockets like raindrops at these houses.
Soon, some rockets gradually set the houses on fire.
And if the people inside run in other directions, they may be pinned to the ground.
There was already a corresponding order. He also knew what would happen if he gave this order. But he couldn't take care of so many things anymore. Otherwise, it is very likely that he will not be able to hold even half of Xianyang City, which he has occupied.
Looking at the dense corpses on the north side of the street, and the civilians who were shot dead in the street from time to time, he gritted his teeth with hatred, but he couldn't do anything better.
Under such circumstances, he was able to keep the officers and men under his command on the front line, which was already done as much as possible.
......
Zheng Xiao also discovered such a situation at such a time. But his home is in the south of Xianyang City, and he will not suffer too much for a while. But for Zheng Xiao, he also had to return to Xianyang with Chen Ping this time. Because he is also worried about whether there will be some problems in his home.
But he was far from expecting that Xianyang City would become such a situation.
After they entered Xianyang City through the south gate, the corpses of officers and soldiers or civilians appeared in the south of Xianyang City from time to time. Such a situation made him couldn't help but be surprised.
Because he never imagined that such a situation would arise.
What surprised him even more was that after entering the city, he could even see the raging fire a kilometer or two to the north.
For Zheng Xiao, this is something that is simply unimaginable.
That's right, in his impression, he just heard his father say that he was in the chaos of the description of the words.
He couldn't imagine that such a situation would actually happen in front of him.
And in a carriage behind Zheng Xiao, Chen Ping gently lifted the curtain in front of him.
After he saw such a situation, he couldn't help but sigh secretly: "General She, the king also has a hard time doing this. I hope you don't blame him. ā
......
Zheng Xiao returned directly to his home, while Chen Ping came to the house where he was under the guidance of a team of Liaodong Army scouts.
After hearing that Chen Ping entered Xianyang City at such a time, he was very surprised. But after coming back to his senses, he couldn't help but show a hint of self-deprecating laughter.
It's not that he doesn't understand why Chen Ping came at such a time, but when things come to such a point, he can't be allowed to have any ideas.
He only hopes that even if he dies, his family will not be affected.
Since he had sold such a life to Zhang Jiashi a long time ago, as long as Zhang Jiashi didn't kill him for no reason, he wouldn't have the slightest complaint. Of course, he was also wronged in such a matter, but if Zhang Jiashi had endured everything, then he wouldn't have thought of getting Guanzhong.
He is not a simple martial artist, many years of military career and experience in handling local government affairs have made him very aware of the dark side of some things.
Zhang Jiashi didn't do anything in this situation, what would be the consequences, and he didn't want to think about it too much, he only knew that in such a situation, if Zhang Jiashi wanted to get the right to rule Xianyang or even Guanzhong, he would inevitably find a scapegoat with sufficient weight.
And he, as the highest officer of the Liaodong Army who commanded the operation this time, whether he is tall, short, fat or thin, is extremely suitable.
He soon met Chen Ping, who was invited in by his personal guards, and after seeing Chen Ping, he said a sentence: ", Lord Xiangguo, what does the king want me to do?"
When Chen Ping heard this, he looked at his face very calmly, and sighed softly: "The king asked you to continue to command the troops to attack Xianyang, and it is expedient to deal with such an accident." ā
After hearing this, he couldn't help but murmur, "That...... After that, what will happen to Shi?
The voice was relatively small, but Chen Ping still heard it in his ears: "The king asked you to replace Li Yushi and be in charge of the situation in North Korea." ā
Chen Ping's words made Jian Jian bow down to the east several times with tears in his eyes.
Because Zhang Jiashi didn't want to kill him for such an accident, and he wouldn't let him commit suicide because of such a thing, let alone whether he would take action against his family.
Although it is said that away from Zhang Jiashi's side, he is likely to gradually be forgotten, but in any case, even if he really dies of old age in North Korea, it is still a good thing.
Chen Ping did not stop him from doing so. Because Zhang Jiashi saw him again, I'm afraid I don't know when.
Never see each other again for years, decades, decades, or a lifetime?
Anything like this is possible.
To be honest, Chen Ping doesn't think that Jian should shoulder this responsibility, but for Jian, this responsibility must be his.
In particular, the corpses of those officials and civilians of Xianyang City on the streets......
Is it wrong to do this?
No, because if you don't do this, I'm afraid that the entire Xianyang City, even together with the Xianyang Palace, will be directly destroyed.
The loss of Xianyang is not enough to make Zhang Jiashi's troops in vain this time, but if Zhang Jiashi wants to gain a foothold in Guanzhong, Xianyang City is the best foundation.
Having obtained a burned Xianyang City in ruins, Zhang Jiashi had obviously lost one of his best areas, one that grasped the overall situation.
After getting up from the ground, Chen Ping took out a silk silk written by Zhang Jiashi to Jian and handed it to Jian with his own hands.
After opening the silk silk, I saw the content written with a brush on the silk silk:
General Jun Jian:
Lone knew that the crime of this matter was not in General She, nor was it in any of us, but Lone was selfish, so he had to let General Shi shoulder this kind of unwarranted sin, and Lone was very ashamed. After the Xianyang incident was decided, General Shi went to Korea to garrison the border of Daqin, and if there was an opportunity, the Lone Society arranged for the general to lead the army again.
Just a few words, I had to lower my head and sobbed softly.
Chen Ping didn't make any moves, but stood silently by Jian's side, waiting for Jian to calm down.
He didn't read the content on this silk silk, but Chen Ping himself knew one thing, that is, the content that could make such an iron-clad man cry, Chen Ping understood that Zhang Jiashi did not abandon the room, but just put both sides in a relatively safe situation.
What will happen in the future?
Chen Ping couldn't guess such a long-term thing.
You must know that when Chen Ping was in Yangwu County, it was impossible for him to think that he had become Xiangguo, and he did not expect that Zhang Jiashi, who was "forced" and assisted by the First Emperor Yingzheng, would actually reach such a point.
Perhaps, many things will change a lot in the future, but Chen Ping believes that Zhang Jiashi gave him and a hope to many people, so many people are willing to follow him and be willing to serve his life.
And he, Chen Ping, a Yangwu man, is naturally no exception.
Of course, he doesn't need to kill people for Zhang Jiashi, but just do his best to assist Zhang Jiashi and eradicate some eyesore.
Chen Ping did not tell anyone what he thought and what he planned.
In his heart, the officials of Xianyang and the family tried their best to clean up in such a situation, taking advantage of the war-torn environment. Especially some of the more influential clans with the surname Zhao must die.
Whether Zhang Jiashi wants to sit in that position or not, these people will become a stumbling block for Zhang Jiashi to reach the pinnacle of power.
If Zhang Jiashi was willing to sit in that position, their hindrance would be a problem that Chen Ping had to worry about.
However, the energy and flesh and blood that many of them have put in, and the results they have obtained with Zhang Jiashi after his death, these people want to get involved, and he Chen Ping will naturally not agree. Don't talk about him, hundreds of thousands of people in the Liaodong Army will not agree to this.
Some things naturally can't be done too obviously, but in such a situation, isn't it an opportunity in a crisis?
If he didn't let the officers and soldiers do it, he wouldn't mind hinting at the other party.
However, in the current situation, for Chen Ping, there is no such need.
Chen Ping is happy to see such a situation.
As for some innocent civilian casualties, there was a fire in Xianyang City, and the dead were unknown, and he had no choice but to sigh.
After all, this is war, not that kind of petty fight.
Chen Ping looked up at the flames that seemed to be getting closer and closer, and felt the rising temperature, and there was a bright light in his eyes.
............................................................ Dividing line ..........................................
In Xiahou Ying and Li Cang's camp, although they didn't know what was going on, the increasingly fierce fire in Xianyang City gradually swept through most of the northern part of Xianyang City in a few hours, and Li Cang and Xiahou Ying had to arrange their officers and soldiers to be ready to deal with possible unexpected situations at any time.
After all, such a thing is undoubtedly a situation that they have never heard of before.
Of course, there are more than those that surprised Li Cang and Xiahou Ying.
In the third hour after the fire broke out in Xianyang City, the palace gate of Wangyi Palace in the north of the Xianyang Palace Palace complex was actually opened.
Dozens of Qin army knights rushed out of it.
They held a flag in their hands and said loudly in the language of the Guanzhong accent: "Don't attack us!"
The crossbowmen of the Liaodong Army, who were arranged to lurk nearby, were stunned after hearing such a sentence. They did not close the palace gates, but opened them in this way, and rode their horses to the place where they were ambushing.
......
After receiving the information from the troops in front, Li Cang, Xiahou Ying and others discussed how to deal with this problem.
Li Cang, as the commander of the prisoner army, although the credit is greater than that of Xiahou Ying, but out of some ideas, Li Cang is willing to put his position under Xiahou Ying.
Xiahou Ying, an honest man, shook his head helplessly: "Brother Li still can't let go of his figure, in fact, even the king doesn't have that kind of idea anymore." ā
The Liaodong Army has long not treated the prisoner army differently. After the Battle of the Great Wall, this situation has been weakened by Zhang Jiashi, intentionally or unintentionally.
Until the dispatch of troops to Liaoxi, among the officers and soldiers under Zhang Jiashi's command, the treatment of the prisoner army, as long as they were not just selected and reached a certain level, such as the tun commander, was already equivalent to the treatment of other units of the Liaodong Army.
But Li Cang has always had such an idea, which made Zhang Jiashi, Chen Pingxiao and others more helpless.
