Chapter 8 Re-entry to Tongcheng
Wen Liang thought that Wen Su had changed his mind and wanted to go to Tongcheng to find Yang Wantang, but he didn't expect Wen to mean that the Liangzhou army would seize Tongcheng.
It was the city of Chu, and this move not only cut off reinforcements, but even created new enemies.
But he also knew that the general had no choice but to let the eldest lady go to Yang Wantang, and this move was not perfect. Now that Liangzhou is in danger, the eldest lady's soldiers are in danger, and it is unknown whether it is the general's other instructions.
If you don't talk to yourself, there is naturally a general's reason. It's not a must-try.
But the problem is not only in the state of Chu, but also in the Liangzhou army.
Although he showed great talent in a day, he was still showing his edge, and this alone was not enough to convince the Commanders.
And even more so with such an order.
The Liangzhou army doesn't even want Liangzhou, won't it become a joke?
However, Zhou Tong happily agreed, and the scene was supported by Wenliang. The commanders made a fuss in the camp tent, but to no avail, and finally reluctantly accepted the order, but the actions were not good.
The old reason was that Zhou Tong left a battalion of 500 people responsible for evacuating the people, and those who wanted to leave were escorted to the counties, and those who didn't want to leave were hiding at home. It must be arranged within five days, and then evacuate Liangzhou and go south to Tongcheng to join the army.
The routes are timed with great precision, like an unpredictable prophet.
The commanders discussed the arrangements for the review, but Zhou Tong said: "There is no unpredictable prophet in the march and war, it is nothing more than intelligence news, Wen Liang's secret guard has a special job in this position, and the eldest lady relies on Wen Liang, you can figure it out yourself." ”
Only then did everyone think that although Zhou Tong made a mistake and was punished by the general, he still let him discuss matters in his account, and everyone knew that he valued him. As soon as the eldest lady took charge, she was the first to mention Zhou Tong's temporary leadership of the Liangzhou army, which was obviously the general's instructions. The eldest lady must have told him everything.
In addition, the eldest lady's performance today is not like a beginner, but more like she once learned and put it down, and now she picks it up again.
The general not only cultivated the son, but also the eldest lady. Foresight.
In this way, Wen Liang found out the news, the eldest lady planned to act, and Zhou Tong deployed and implemented.
It dawned on the commanders that it made sense.
At this time, Wen Liang was pondering the reason for the young lady's arrangement. Zhou Tong went straight in and sat down beside Wen Liang with a big grin.
"You know that everyone is not sure, right?"
Wen Liang glanced at the mud on Zhou Tong's body and moved it to the side: "I know." ”
"They asked me, and I didn't say anything, they guessed it themselves." Zhou Tong said this suddenly, got up and left.
Lao Zhao came in at this time and happened to have a face-to-face with Zhou Tong, and Zhou Tong deliberately gave him a look.
Lao Zhao felt that he understood what Zhou Tong meant, and when he saw that there was no one around, he mysteriously came to Wen Liang's side.
"Yu Hou, what news do you have, tell your brother."
Wen Liang was even more puzzled: "What news do I have?" ”
Lao Zhao looked like he knew it in his chest: "Oh, it's time for it, don't hide it, Zhou Tongke told us." ”
Wen Liang frowned and asked, "What nonsense did he say?" ”
"Nothing, nothing, you're busy, you're busy."
Seeing Wenliang's expression, Lao Zhao felt that he had said something that he shouldn't have said, sold Zhou Tong, prevaricated and ran away.
When he arrived at the door, he suddenly added: "We have discussed, we all listen to the eldest lady." ”
Wen Liangxin said that what is going on in the General's Mansion today, from the eldest lady to Zhou Tong to Lao Zhao, everyone talks like a dumb riddle, and it will change after a while.
Fortunately, since the commanders of the old Zhao Dynasty have expressed their attitude, the eldest lady's arrangement should be implemented smoothly.
Anyway, it's all the general's will, and it's good for him to realize it.
That night, Wen asked the 6,000 Liangzhou army to put away the general flag, take advantage of the night to go out of the city, march quickly, and enter the Tongcheng boundary at midnight on the second day.
As soon as the soldiers and horses entered the Tongcheng boundary, they found the scouts. After the scouts returned, Wen ordered the rest of the people to march westward, stationed at the western boundary of Tongcheng, and blocked all the main roads. She and Wenliang Zhoutong and others took 2,000 soldiers and horses straight to Tongcheng.
Tongcheng is located in the northwest of Chu State, southwest of Liangzhou, not an important place for soldiers, and Liangzhou as a barrier, which is quite stable. Even so, Tongcheng Taishou Liu Zhu was still frightened by the battle reports from the two counties of Anping and Guangyang, for fear that the killing god of Beiyu would suddenly appear on his own territory. His two battalions of 1,000 defenders are not enough to sharpen their swords.
I was afraid that I didn't get a good night's sleep for two days, I was really sleepy today, I was just going to sleep, the scouts came to report in a panic, and the northwest found out the news, thousands of soldiers and horses are coming in the direction of Tongcheng, I am afraid that it is the vanguard of the enemy, and Tongcheng is in danger.
Liu Zhu thought about this scene for several days, it was not possible to ask for help, he knew too well the situation in Dachu now, and the counties were too busy to take care of themselves, so he was martyred after delaying for two days. The emperor is seriously ill again, and the eldest prince and the second prince are fighting to the death, and other states and counties can't take care of it, let alone his small Tongcheng.
He asked his family to pack up a few days ago, and now it seems that he did have the foresight.
Liu ordered the scouts not to publicize it, and went out of the city to explore again. He turned around and took the whole family from the West City Gate.
On the way to the march, Wen Liang has been making arrangements, originally planning to let the dark guards sneak into Tongcheng first, how to restrain the Taishou, how to open the city gate, all of which are extremely carefully planned. But Wen didn't have the slightest intention of camping, and wanted to directly bring two thousand Liangzhou soldiers to the city.
"The eldest lady is cautious, although the thousand defenders of Tongcheng are not good at fighting. 6,000 people attacking the city is naturally not a problem, but now there are only 2,000 pioneers, and if you don't outwit it, it will be difficult to ensure everything. Wenliang persuaded.
Wen asked Zhou Tong: "Zhou Dutong, what do you say?" ”
Zhou Tong said nonchalantly: "Miss, just the broken gate of Tongcheng, I can smash it open with a hammer." ”
Wen Gu smiled when he heard this, and urged the horse to go quickly. Wen Liang looked at Zhou Tong and felt that he hadn't seen it before, this was a minister.
As a result, as soon as they arrived in Tongcheng, they saw that the commander guarding the city had opened the city gate early and was waiting for them to enter the city. Only then did Wen Liang know that Taishou Liu abandoned the city and fled, thinking that the general knew people and had no last resort.
Thinking of Wen Zong, Wen Liang felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and just as his emotions were about to come up, he saw Zhou Tong pick up the bright silver hammer and slam it against the open city gate.
With a "bang", the city gate shook, but it was not damaged at all.
After smashing, Zhou Tong also raised the hammer at him, with a proud face.
Wen Liang felt that these two days were too long, and maybe everything would be fine after a little sleep.
This sound also woke up the entire Tongcheng. When the people woke up to find that the army had entered the city, the people were terrified.
Now the enemy of Da Chu, who is there anyone else besides Beiyu? And the closest to Tongcheng is the Huaiyang Army, although they have not seen it, but the title of Beiyu Killing God has long been known to everyone.
And as soon as they entered the city, they besieged Yang Wantang's mansion, picking the hardest bones first, and wouldn't it be their turn next?
The news became more and more fierce, and some big clans were ready to sneak out of the city with their families, but they were afraid of being stopped by the Huaiyang army, so they only hated Liu Zhi for not revealing some news to them in advance, and ran away first.
However, at this time, the Liangzhou army erected a shogi, and everyone knew that it was not the Huaiyang army that came.
Although the Liangzhou army does not belong to Da Chu, it has always been stuck to Liangzhou, and the people of Tongcheng also have a good impression of them, and they are a little at ease, thinking of ways to get out of the city, and they also plan to stay at home to see the situation first.
After arranging the city defense, he ordered Wenliang to let the commander of the city with his soldiers to patrol the city while shouting "The Liangzhou army enters the city and does not hurt the people". He took Zhou Tong and the rest of the Liangzhou army and went straight to Yang's mansion.
