Chapter 935: From now on, there will be fewer disasters in the world
Sima Yi, who fled westward, will still need some time to realize what it means to be "recovering from the skynet", and Fa Zheng, who was in Chengdu City, and some remnants of Yizhou who fled back to the city at night, felt what it meant to be "negligent but not leaky" on the morning after the end of the siege battle.
Zhang Yi, a fierce general who had gone north many times to participate in the attack on Bingzhou and Liangguo, was left with only one head hanging not far from the south gate at this time, and his wide-open eyes seemed to be telling the defenders in the city about his unwillingness.
Meng Huo, Wang Ping, Zhang Wei, Wu Lan and others who were captured alive, as well as Wu Tugu, Wu Yi, Jia Long and others who were captured before, were all tied by ropes and pushed in front of the army outside the city to appear to the soldiers and civilians in the city one by one. In fact, among the captured generals, there are also heavyweights such as Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, but because one of these two has been recruited by Gan Ning, and the other has been sent to Crouching Tiger City, they will not appear under the city of Chengdu.
In today's Chengdu City, for Zhang He and Tai Shici, the most valuable person left is Fazheng.
I don't know if Sima Yi thinks Fa Zheng is too smart, or for some other reason, in short, on this escape trip, the Sima family did not take Fa Zheng with him. According to normal speculation, Fa Zheng should have been blown into powder along with Sima Fang when the army outside the city rushed into the city, which could be regarded as a funeral for Sima's family. Not only Fa Zheng was going to accompany the funeral, but Fa Zheng's father and grandfather, as well as the old and young of the family, as well as other officials in the city, would accompany Sima Fang to the funeral.
However, after the Yizhou army that rushed out of the city under the blockade, the siege army from all walks of life, which could be driven straight in, stopped the pace of attack again, and continued to send many Yizhou soldiers to shout to the soldiers and civilians in the city, and it seemed that they were not in a hurry to break into the city of Chengdu and loot it.
The song of "Three Disciplines, Eight Attentions" composed by King Pingxi himself has been sung in various armies of the Jin Kingdom for several years, and even today if anyone can't change the habits of bandits, the discipline inspectors in the army will not be polite to everyone. Even if there is a mountain of gold in the city of Chengdu, the armies besieging the city will definitely not step half of their feet into the city of Chengdu without receiving an order from the joint command.
Sima Fang, who had been waiting in the city all night, still did not hear the movement of a large army entering the city until noon, which made him a little unsure of what to do with himself.
With the shouting and mobilization of the "mass work team" outside the city day and night, many ordinary people in the city who had been fooled by the Sima family had come out of the huge panic of the initial siege of Chengdu. Some villagers who knew the soldiers of Yizhou outside the city took advantage of the fact that there were no soldiers stationed in the city and quietly escaped, but there was no, and they were welcomed and escorted by the army outside the city.
At this moment, the people of Yizhou, who had been confined to the city for more than a month, became emboldened, and some people who were not in the city began to evacuate Chengdu, but they were not hindered in any way. The troops outside the city even sent small units to escort the people back to their respective counties to prevent them from being attacked by bandits in the mountains.
In less than three days, the city of Chengdu, which was originally crowded with more than 1.5 million people, was suddenly 70 percent empty, and only more than 400,000 wealthy families remained, fearing that their property would be plundered by troops outside the city, and they still insisted on refusing to leave. These guys are really the masters who want money and don't want their lives, and they deserve to be pulled by the Sima family.
Beginning on the fourth day, the Yizhou soldiers guarding the city began to surrender in small groups, and any general who dared to stop was likely to be killed on the spot by the sword from behind. At this time, whoever wants to believe the general's nonsense and willingly accompany the Sima family to die will really have his head squeezed out by the door.
After waiting for five days, even after the people in the governor's mansion ran out, Sima Fang still did not wait for the siege troops to enter Chengdu. At this moment, the old fellow finally lost his patience, and he thought that his children and grandchildren had fled into the Heming Mountain at this time, so he was a little unwilling to light the fire rope in the study.
As the fire rope crossed the threshold with a swishing sound and burrowed into the ground, after a loud bang, Sima Fang's study was shattered, but the explosion was only limited to this, and did not spread farther away.
Looking at the backyard of the Prefecture Governor's Mansion, which had been reduced to ashes, Fa Zheng, who was not far away, said to himself: "You have to drag the remaining people in the city to die with you, but you don't know that you will end up with a self-inflicted blame and a cocoon......
It turned out that on the second day after the defenders in the city failed to break through, Fu Zhu sneaked into the city to meet Fa Zheng, and truthfully told Fa Zheng about the huge amount of explosives buried by Sima's family in Chengdu. At this time, he came to tell Fa Zheng this top-secret news, naturally hoping that Fa Zheng could make the right choice and not follow the Sima family to the dark again.
Fa Zheng was a scheming scholar, but he was not a dead soldier raised by the Sima family. Whether it is morally speaking, or from the practical way out, Fa Zheng has no reason to abandon the hundreds of thousands of people in Chengdu City, but to choose a desperate path with the Sima family to die without repentance. Because of this, Fa Zheng did not hesitate to choose to surrender to the Jin State, and then with his charisma, he persuaded the soldiers in the city to send all the more than 900,000 catties of gunpowder buried under the city of Chengdu to the outside of the city in these five days, leaving only the gunpowder under Sima Fang's study.
Fa Zheng very much agreed with the last order of the joint command outside the city. The danger of destroying Chengdu City has been lifted, and it is still carried out without Sima Fang's knowledge. In the end, if Sima Fang still had a conscience in his heart, then he would not have lit that arquebus, and naturally he would not have buried himself in a violent gunpowder explosion. On the contrary, if Sima Fang still lit that rope, then there was nothing to say, if he wanted to die, he would die!
The small explosion in the prefecture in Chengdu was just a small episode of the attack on Chengdu City. With the assistance and organization of Fazheng in Chengdu, even if Sima Fang is reduced to ashes, it will not affect this city with a long history and rich cultural traces to be thrown into the arms of Zhao Xing, the king of Pingxi.
No one in the world knows what Zhao Xing saw in his previous life, but Zhao Xing firmly remembers how the people of Yizhou faced this disaster when the huge disaster that shook the mountains and the earth befell Shuzhong. In the space that Zhao Xing once remembered, they were buried underground, and they left sadly, but the people who were still there were still rubbing mahjong around the table, as if they had already seen through the story of life and death.
The death of a Sima Fang is really a great thing for Shuzhong! The people of Yizhou owe no one, so why should they accompany the Sima family for the funeral?
