Let's say that the overall situation of Wuping has been decided, but the Tang army has not obtained any definite benefits since it went out, and I don't know how long Guo Ting, the current guard of Qingliu Pass, can block the Song army, so now the key step is to take the key to Fuzhou Tongcheng - Jingling City, which is already imminent.

The capture of Tianmen Pass is naturally relatively simple, and it is said that Tianmen Pass is flat, the fortifications are weak, and there is no wall to defend the city, and the most important thing is that almost all the Hanyang troops originally stationed in Tianmen were taken to Wuping by Li Chuyun, the envoy of Fuzhou Jiedu.

Tianmen Pass can be captured in one day, but Jingling City is extremely difficult to get down, Jingling City is the important place of the Song Dynasty in the south, east of Anlu City, north of Zhongxiang, followed by Shannan East Jiedu - Xiangzhou.

Therefore, although Jingling City is empty at this time, once there are more than 20,000 defenders in the city, it is also difficult to capture, and it is not as simple as saying in some novels and wars, one city in one day, and one state in three days.

In this period, the most difficult thing to fight is to attack the fortified position, even if it is fast to capture a city for a few months, it is normal for one-third of the number of people to be injured, and Jingling City is also the official center of Fuzhou's economy and population, and under the attack of the besieging party, there are also people facing the danger of their homes being destroyed.

Then, under the condition that the overall combat quality is relatively high, Li Yu's first solution at this time cannot be to forcibly attack, but to adopt a policy of persuasion to surrender, and to attack the army first, then to attack the enemy, then to attack the army, and then to attack the city.

Therefore, the first choice now is not to forcibly attack Jingling City, when Li Yu attacked Tianmen Pass, he had already sent envoys to Jingling City to recruit Fuzhou to stay at this time, Jingling Defense Envoy, Li Jihe.

In Jingling City, the generals were indeed hesitant because of Li Yu's surrender letter, just because (you are too beautiful) A large number of troops in Jingling City were taken away by Li Chuyun in the south, and there were only less than 10,000 combatable soldiers left.

Li Yu blatantly sent the letter of surrender, and it was precisely a bet, that is, Murong Yanzhao, who was guarding Zhongxiang in Yingzhou, would inevitably stand by and watch after knowing that Li Chuyun was in a hurry, waiting to see Li Chuyun make a big mistake, and Zhao Kuangyin, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, fell into the ground, after all, in the official history, these two goods broke out several quarrels from the issue of attacking Nanping.

"I said a long time ago that General Li's southward movement will definitely bring trouble to Fuzhou." The inspection of Songshan South Road made Zhang Ying sigh, and looked at the eyes of Li Jihe, who was left behind, and was also a little resentful.

"There are only 8,000 defenders in the city, how can we resist Li Yu's elite army? In my opinion, it's better to drop Kaesong! The marching commander Wu Xingyou also said with some grievances.

"Generals, Li Yu led the elite army to besiege Jingling, General Pan Mei has led the army south, if Li Yu can't capture it for a long time, Jinling is in danger, why can't we fight with it?

Besides, what is more anxious now is Tang Chen in Jinling, Li Yu outside the city, not the defenders of Jingling. Fan Yuan made Li Jisui stand up suddenly, and said angrily.

"War? How to go to war? Not to mention that General Li took away all the well-trained elite troops, and more than half of the 8,000 defenders in the city were old and weak, how could we defeat Li Yu? Li Jisui, are you too conceited? Wu Xingyou talked about Li Chuyun's southward journey again, and he was angry again, and turned to Li Chuyun's son to be angry.

"Ladies and gentlemen... Have you forgotten that I am the one left behind in Fuzhou, whether it is war or peace, I have the final say..."When everyone was deadlocked, Li Jihe, who stayed in Fuzhou, asked sharply with a gloomy face.

"The Tang Kingdom is indeed gaining momentum, but it is just a wild dog stumbling around for a few days, even if the city surrenders, he will be able to surrender to the Song Dynasty again and destroy the Tang Dynasty in the south, can I wait to surrender the Song Dynasty again to save my life?" Li Jihe saw that the deterrence had been reached, so he began to understand the reason, and I have to say that the Li family is still bloody.

Li Chuyun looked down on foreigners since he was a child, and he despised Murong, Wei Chi, and Shame Heads with such surnames, which also led to his descendants firmly believing that if they were not of my race, their hearts would be different, and at the same time, they also retained the unique integrity of the Han people.

"Before the battle is fought, you are in a hurry to surrender? I, Li Jihe, am only twenty years old, and I am not afraid of death, uncles, do you have to be a person who lives secretly and stinks for 10,000 years! ”

"Jihe... Fang Cai, the general only said some angry words, you don't have to look down on me Wu, if you want to fight, my martial arts friends will not be afraid of death! Wu Xingyou shook his head a little for a while, and suddenly said that he was dead.

"My father led the elite to the south, it is indeed a hasty move, my Li family is worthy of you, however, my Li family is not a reluctant generation, even if I die in battle, my Li family will not surrender! Zhang Lao... What about you? ”

Li Jihe's voice Zhang Lao, although there is some deterrence, but it is also enough to give respect, Zhang Ying is over sixty years old, and the ranking according to seniority is indeed above Li Chuyun, and he has achieved this position of patrol inspection, and he also has some status and grace.

"The old man has always asked your Li family to admit his mistakes, since you have admitted your mistakes on behalf of your father, the old man is not an indomitable person! If Li Yu attacks the city, the old man will cut off the queen for you, and leave you with the Li family! Zhang Ying's words are not only a statement, but also a benevolent and righteous fulfillment, Li Chuyun except for the youngest son in Bianliang, the rest of the family's lifeblood is in Jingling, Zhang Ying can have this heart, and it is true that Li Jihe is a little relieved.

"Good! With an uncle like this, how can my dignified husband be afraid?

If the city is broken, there will be death,

Jade can be broken but cannot be changed to its whiteness,

Bamboo can be burned but not changed,

Although the body is dead, the name can be hung in the annals of history! And what is there to fear? ”

......

"Changzhi, give the order to attack the city..."A hundred miles outside Jingling City, Tang Emperor Li Yu looked at the rough moat with an expressionless face, and said in a gloomy voice.

"Holy Lord, the envoy has not yet..."

"Envoys... It's useless, I sent people over, just to cause Jingling's infighting, Jingling's stay Li Jihe is a hard bone, even if he kills all the people who want to surrender, he won't cheapen Jingling for nothing..."Li Yu turned over and got on his horse, his expression suddenly became solemn.

"Wait a minute! The defenders in Jingling City are empty, take the city, I don't take a penny, all of them are left to your family! The first person to ascend the city, the king gave the surname Li, who wants to go for me? ”

"I'll go!"

"Let me go!"

......

At this moment, these soldiers shouted in their mouths, it is no longer sworn allegiance to the Tang Dynasty, or sworn allegiance to the saint, these people know in their hearts that they are not only fighting for the Tang Dynasty, but also fighting for themselves, the emperor's words have been said very clearly, he doesn't want money, the money is the besieger, and the people who climb the city also want to be crowned kings and worship officials, which is fighting for themselves.

"The rivers and mountains of the Song people! It's time to return it to Datang! The general trend is about to fall, and those who are willing to save the sky with me, please draw your sword and get up! ”

"Ten thousand years of Datang!

Datang 10,000 years!

Datang 10,000 years! ”

......

"Siege! Prepare for battle! ”

Li Yuanzhen drew his sword and shouted angrily, holding a sword and leading the horse to lead the army to rush to the moat under Jingling City.
