Chapter 734: Figure it out
Li Yue said: "Don't be in a hurry, wait for the grain and grass and siege equipment in the rear, let the soldiers breathe a sigh of relief, and consolidate the rear by the way." ”
The biggest advantage of occupying the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is that it has mastered water transportation.
Logistics supplies can be transported directly down the river from Fancheng to the front line, which is equivalent to pouring the national strength of the Liang State down the Yangtze River, and a Chaisang city cannot resist it no matter what.
"Huan Mi and Uncle are kind, and the minister may be persuaded to surrender!" Xie Xuan arched his hand.
"You mean to enter the city to persuade you to surrender?" Li Yue glanced at him, not suspecting him of defection, but worried about his safety.
Huan Mi is no one else, he is Huan Wen's own brother.
"If Your Majesty is not at ease, the minister will enter the city alone." Xie Xuan first broke this layer of window paper, but misunderstood Li Yue's meaning.
"Don't forget, your sister is now a nobleman, counting, you are also my wife and brother, fierce soldiers, sensitive identity, easy to be jealous of others, not suitable to enter the city, but write a letter and let others send it in."
Xie Xuan is indeed talented, and he is not very old at the critical age, and he has great potential.
If it can be used by the girder, it will be a handsome talent in the future.
"Your Majesty Xie cares, but Huan Mi this person has always been bright and fair, will not harm the minister, a letter, it is difficult to see sincerity, only the minister personally enters the city, can persuade him to surrender, Your Majesty does not know, Huan Mi has always been at odds with Huan Wen, Huan Chong, was excluded, Huan Wen is called the emperor, all brothers are crowned princes, only Huan Mi leads the Luling County Prince." Xie Xuan insisted on a face.
"And such a thing?"
As soon as Li Yue's words came out, he felt that it was too ordinary, the brothers of the Murong family killed each other, and the rebellion of the Eight Kings, wasn't it just that several brothers and uncles and nephews of the Sima family were killing each other there?
There was also a mess within the Shi clan.
Xie Xuan said: "If the general trend is clear today, the Yangtze River has been broken, and the southeast remnant wall can resist the beams?" The former is also down. ”
"In that case, it doesn't hurt to give it a try." Li Yue nodded in agreement.
It is best to take Chaisan without blood.
Li Yue is the Emperor of Great Liang, so it is best to stand under the light, and as for those things that cannot see the light, let others do it for him.
Xie Xuan took the order and went into the city alone.
"General Xie must have figured it out." Lu Qing said in a low voice.
Li Yue was also a little surprised that Xie Xuan was so cooperative, as if he was not afraid of Xie An's embarrassment.
However, Xie Xuan's words reminded Li Yue that Huan Huo's surrender without scruples seemed to have been acquiesced by Huan Wen.
Now that Xie Xuan has surrendered to the beam, do you know that it wasn't Xie An who nodded?
Just like Xie An sent Xie Daoyun into the palace, the foreshadowing had already been buried.
The most outstanding son of the Xie family, Xie Xuan is the first to recommend, with his talent, he will definitely not be buried in the Liang Kingdom, Li Yue's slogan is to make the best use of people, Xie An is to vote for his own favor.
Even if Jiangdong falls, the Xie family will not only be able to continue, but even have the possibility of glory.
Not putting eggs in one basket has long been their regular operation.
"The old fox is so calculating!" Li Yue chuckled, Xie An had worked hard for the Xie family.
Since Huan Mi has a good relationship with Xie An, he should not embarrass Xie Xuan.
"Your Majesty?" Lu Qing wondered.
"It's nothing, pay more attention to the news of Huiji County during this time."
"Yui!"
Xie Xuan has been gone for three days, and no news has been sent back.
The siege equipment has been transported one after another, accompanied by 20,000 people, Li Yue asked them to collect artillery stones and prepare for both.
"Chai Sang dares to resist Wang Shi, and slaughter the city to deter Jiangdong!" Zhang Oyster said with red eyes.
"Nonsense, once the city is slaughtered, how is this different from the Hu people? It will arouse the hearts of the same enemy in Jiangdong. Li Yue scolded.
When Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou, Xu Sihaojie either went south to join Wu, or fled to Jingzhou, and there was also a Zhuge Liang.
Li Yue personally feels that Cao Wei has never been able to dominate the world, and being criticized by others is related to this.
The lesson of the Sima family, lack of morality, or do less.
It's not bad to take a rest in Chaisang, waiting for news from Ma Gu Shen Jin's navy.
It's late autumn now, and it's about to take action over there.
Huan Mi should know the consequences of killing Xie Xuan, not only Li Yue can't spare him, but Xie An won't let him go.
The army then rested temporarily in Chaisang.
It wasn't until half a month later that two pieces of news came from the east, one of which was that the crown prince Li Jian led 50,000 Heiyun troops south to Hefei to increase the offensive against the beard.
Second, the navy has already set out, with 20,000 troops and more than 500 seagoing ships heading south.
Huiji Haoqiang received the news, and he was also preparing to counterattack Jiankang.
Now it seems that it is not that they are too slow, but that they are progressing too fast.
In more than two months, he broke through the defense line of the Yangtze River, and went down the river, pulled out Wuchang, and reached Jiangdong.
Li Jian's 50,000 Heiyun army went south, and Huan Wen suddenly felt like a great enemy, so he had to lead his army north to support Misu.
Huan Wen moved, and Li Yue naturally had to follow suit, giving Huan Mi some pressure, "Let them see the power of the new catapult." ”
"Command!" Liu Gaozhi left with the command flag.
Zhang Hao pursed his lips, and Lu Qing said: "The stone cart created by His Majesty is no longer the thing of the previous generation, so it is better to take another one." ”
This reminded Li Yue that the new weapon should have a new name.
The catapult has no deterrent effect when it hears it.
But for a moment, Li Yue couldn't think of any good name, and glanced at Zhang Hao beside him, "General Zhang, what do you think this thing should be called?" ”
Lu Qing and the guards around him laughed.
Zhang Oyster doesn't know a single big character, a typical rough person.
"Your Majesty, isn't this embarrassing?" Zhang Hao touched the door of his head.
Li Yue looked at Lu Qing again, "What do you call it?" ”
Lu Qing thought for a while, "This thing was first used in Xiangyang, how about calling it Xiangyang Cannon?" ”
"You kid has read books for so many years, and it is called Xiangyang Cannon in Xiangyang, and it can also be called Chaisang Cannon when used in Chaisang?" Zhang Oyster grinned with a big mouth.
The Xiangyang cannon is not as murderous as the thunderbolt.
Li Yue shook his head.
Lu Qing looked at Zhang Oyster, "Please also ask General Zhang to name him." ”
As he spoke, dozens of new catapults had already started.
Artillery stones and oil canisters streaked across the sky and smashed on the walls of Chaisang.
Rumble......
The earth shook and the mountains shook, and the flames boiled.
More than 100 pounds of artillery stone left more than a dozen deep dents in the city wall.
The defenders of the castle had probably never seen such an object, and were so shocked that they forgot to hide.
"This thing is much more powerful than the last general, why don't you call it ten thousand enemies?" Zhang Oy's eyes widened.
"Ten thousand enemies? It's also apt. Li Yue's eyes lit up, the effect of this thing can indeed reach 10,000 people, "A good name, it will be called 10,000 enemies in the future!" ”
Zhang Oyster laughed, and showed off extremely proudly in front of Lu Qing and the others.
Lu Qing smiled wryly, not daring to talk back to him.
At this moment, the gate of Chaisan creaked open.
"Stop the attack, foot soldiers on alert." Li Yue ordered.
As soon as the offensive of 10,000 enemies stopped, dozens of unarmed people walked out of the city, "Chaisang is willing to surrender!" ”
"If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears!" Li Yue scolded lightly.
The door to Jiangdong has been opened......
