Chapter 454: Kuanren
After the autumn harvest, grain, ordnance, livestock, and baggage were continuously sent from Tianshui and Wuwei.
Together with the auxiliary army, Yang Zheng invested nearly 60,000 troops under Chang'an City.
Tianshui and Nan'an were originally important places in Tuntian, and this year, under the management of Lu Zhi, they began to burst out with strong potential, and the grain produced did not go down to Hequ and Xiping.
There are also Shuofang and Beidi two counties, under the vigorous management of Yang Huan and Yang Ji, they are also showing an explosive trend.
Not only was there a bumper harvest of grain, but there was also an outbreak of livestock.
The soldiers wore newly issued sheep jackets, ate mutton, and sat on top of the city to laugh at the defenders on the Chang'an city wall opposite.
In the cold wind, the defenders on the city walls huddled together, stretched their necks, and stared at the defenders on the city.
Wang Ji had wanted to break through from the north.
But that was a trap deliberately left by Yang Zheng.
There are not so many water nets on the north bank of Weishui, and the cavalry is coming in the blink of an eye.
As long as they went out of the city, whether to the west or north, within half an hour, there would always be a cavalry in pursuit.
Despair, fear, hunger, and cold.
The morale of the defenders on the city walls was getting lower and lower.
Even Sima Fu and Wang Ji looked weak.
"The livestock in the city have already been slaughtered, and even the rats have been caught and eaten by the people, and the food is only enough for ten days, so what can I do?" Sima Wang's eyes were sunken, and his face was dark.
Sima Fu implemented the strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness, resulting in no people near Chang'an.
Without the people, there is no food.
The soldiers came out of the western city, and all they saw was a desolation and desolation.
There are wolves that are hungrier than them.
Further west, Wugong and Chencang have food, but where has been occupied by the Shu army.
Sima Fu said: "Send soldiers to collect grain from the people again, and you can always find some." ”
A month earlier, Sima Fu had implemented the policy of centralized food supply, taking back the grain from the people, and only supplying the soldiers and young men who defended the city, and the people in the city were left to fend for themselves.
Even so, there was only enough food for ten days.
"People are constantly starving to death in the city, so how can the people have surplus food in their hands?" Wang Ji sighed.
In his early years, he worshipped Shandong Confucian Zheng Xuan as his teacher, read Confucian classics well, and advocated the way of benevolence and righteousness, so he was a little unbearable.
Sima Fu is also a well-educated person, but he does not have Wang Ji's compassionate heart, and laughs softly: "There will always be a search." ”
"Even if you find some, how long will it last? Taiwei has always been lenient and benevolent, so it is better to let the people out of the city to survive, so as to live up to the name of the general's benevolence and righteousness! Wang Ji stared at Sima Fu's eyes and said.
Sima Fu shook his head, "No, if you let the people out of the city, the soldiers will all have the heart to survive, and they will defend it?" Can Boyu know what the thief lacks most? ”
"Righteous name!"
Sima Fu's old face laughed again, "The name of righteousness is just something that covers people's ears and eyes, and what the West Thief lacks most is people!" Now there are more than 100,000 people in Chang'an City, if they are given to the western thieves, wouldn't it be helping to abuse? ”
Wang Ji was dumbfounded, "Taiwei is going to ......"
The smile on Sima Fu's face remained unchanged, but a coldness surged in his eyes, "They stay in Chang'an, or my people of Dawei, if they go out of the city, they will be thieves, and if they live for a while, don't they just ask for a reputation?" Dying as the people of the Great Wei Dynasty is a beautiful story! It is better to die for the people of the Great Wei than to live with the thieves of the West, the people are not afraid of death, why are you afraid of death? ”
In an instant, Wang Ji fell into an ice cave, which was the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people.
In Sima Fu's sophistry, they all became victims of his Sima family.
is so vicious, it is better than Sima Yi and Sima Shi.
Wang Ji lost his father when he was young, was adopted by his uncle Wang Weng, and tasted the suffering of the world, so he will have the heart to understand the people.
And Sima Fu was born with Zhong Ming Dingshi, and Wang Ji is a person of two worlds.
In the eyes of the nobles, aren't the people sacrificial?
"Boyu, you can't be a fool of Xiaoren and Dayi." Sima Fu in turn persuaded Wang Ji.
The old voice has a special persuasive power, which makes people unconsciously agree with his point of view.
"Even so, Chang'an may not be able to survive ten days." Fifty-nine-year-old Wang Ji was in a cold sweat.
Sima Fu said in a tone full of vicissitudes: "In the past, Wei Wu and Lu Bu competed for Yanzhou, and the army ran out of food, Shouzhang County ordered Cheng Yu to skip his own county, provide three days of food, mixed with human breasts, and help Wei Wu break Lu Bu, and the Great Wei side has today!" Boyu is the pillar of my Sima family, and he should be so, and he should not be stingy with his name! ”
Not only Wang Ji, but even his own son Sima Wang was stunned.
"Don't be like that, Captain! I still have 20,000 elites in Bashui and Lishan, and if I send people to break through, I still have the strength to fight. Wang Ji couldn't help it.
He would rather die in battle than see Chang'an become a ghost.
Sima Fu's white eyebrows moved, "Oh? If this is the case, Boyu must hurry up. ”
Wang Jitie went out with a blushing face.
Only father and son were left in the church.
"Father, father, son, son don't want to die!" Those who are greedy for money must also be afraid of death.
Sima Wang has been sparing no effort to loot for so many years.
Sima Fu stretched out his spotted hand and stroked his son's head, his eyes full of kindness.
Although Sima Wang was born to Sima Fu, he passed on to Sima Lang in his early years.
Tiger poison does not eat children.
The older you get, the more you lick your calves.
"The men of the Sima family are still afraid of death?" Sima Fu laughed.
"The most difficult thing in the world, the only death, how can you not be afraid?" Sima Wang looked at his old father with hope.
Sima Fu Kuanren's temperament returned, and after thinking for a while, he said: "The ants still have the will to survive, let alone my son?" If you don't want to die, don't die, you can gather more than 100 people, pretend to be a deserter, and surrender to Shu to the west! He will sweep the world in the future, and you can enjoy wealth and prosperity when you return to the court. ”
"Obey!"
……
On the Dongwei Tushan Mountain, Yang Zheng was discussing the military situation with the generals.
With today's situation, Chang'an will undoubtedly be broken.
Every day, more than 100 scrawny corpses are thrown from the walls of Chang'an.
During the night, many of the defenders surrendered.
From the mouths of these defenders, it was learned that Chang'an could not hold out for a few days.
The war actually started last year.
First, the Shu army went north, attacked the Great Wall in the Qinling Mountains, swept Fufeng County, and attacked Guanzhong.
Then Yang Zheng defeated Deng Ai, and the elite of Guanzhong died in a battle.
The two armies took advantage of the situation and surrounded Chang'an.
If it hadn't been for the divisive plan, Chang'an City would have been attacked last year.
This year has been another month of great captivity.
Although Chang'an is standing, only one Chang'an will not help.
The only thing worth worrying about is the 20,000 Chinese troops in Bashui and Lishan.
As soon as he talked about this, the scout came to report, "Report to the general, there are seven hundred-man squads in Chang'an City that have crossed the Weishui and headed east. ”
"This must be Sima Fu's person asking for help!" Zhang Te's words revealed his intentions.
Yang Zheng thought for a while and said: "All the killings, don't let the big fish slip through the net, after identifying the identity, let one or two people go to the Bashui camp, I want to see if Pang Hui and Xu Yi have the courage to come to the rescue!" ”
besieged the city and sent reinforcements, waiting for the Chinese army to come to the rescue.
