Chapter 24, capture the thief and capture the king and set the three states
Praise said:
If you have no courage to be cowardly, you will be cowardly, and being brave and light and wise is a strong beam.
is more good at writing Tao and martial arts, such as Shi Miao's articles.
The two soldiers are divided into light and dark, and one plan is to capture the king first.
The drums of the four doors did not stop, and the battle report was shocked.
On the same day, Li Shijian captured Nan'an Prefecture, and the meteor scouting horse was always passing on the news, Li Shijun learned that his brother had occupied Nan'an Prefecture, so he naturally divided his troops to attack the three counties of Wei County, He County and Fangtang County according to the predetermined strategy.
And the reinforcements from these three counties came to save Nan'anzhou, but they were ambushed by Li Shijian, and naturally they were defeated in all three ways. Li Shijian collected his troops and gathered a crowd in the mansion of the lord of the Yacheng Prefecture of Nan'an Prefecture, so that people could pass through the defeat of the battle of Nan'anzhou.
The first to be brought up was the defeated general Yang Can. Li Shijian asked, "Yang Can, are you willing to surrender?"
Yang Can replied, "I am willing to surrender." ”
When Li Shijian heard this, he personally loosened his ties for him, and said: "The generals and colonels in Nan'an Prefecture are all your subordinates, how about you persuade them to surrender for me?"
Yang Can said: "If the general doesn't kill Yang, Yang will repay him justifiably." ”
So Yang Can came forward to recruit a group of partial generals who were captured in Nan'anzhou, and all the generals surrendered. Yang Can led the generals to see, and Li Shijian said: "General Yang, Daliang, Lu County, He County, Wei County, and Fangtang County in Nan'an Prefecture all belong to our army, and there are still Geng County and Sha County yet, please ask General Yang to attack with me, how about it?"
Yang Can said: "The general doesn't need to send troops, these two counties are under my control, Yang Rong, the guard general of Geng County, is my nephew, and Qin Yuan, the guard general of Sha County, is my cousin, these two counties, I will write a letter." ”
So Yang Canxin arrived, and both counties were lowered.
Li Shijian gathered the crowd in the City Lord's Mansion to discuss the next move, Li Shijun said: "Brother, Ma Rong does not surrender, what should I do?"
Li Shijian pondered for a while and said, "Brother, bring him and persuade him again." If he doesn't surrender, he will have to kill this person. ”
So Ma Rong was brought up. Li Shijian said: "General Ma, why don't you surrender?"
Ma Rong said: "I'm sorry! In the martial arts examination back then, Lao Tzu won the sixth place in the world, and the three Zhu Gong all sent people to win over Ma, but Ma heard that several Zhu Gong were traitors, so he didn't try to lure him! Since Ma defected to the Shunyi Heavenly King, how could he betray him? If you want to kill, you will kill!"
When Li Shijian heard this, he frowned, and said to Yang Can: "General Yang, you tell General Ma about the news you heard when Nan'an Prefecture was attacked last night. ”
Yang Can then said: "General Ma, when my Nan'an Prefecture was attacked last night, Zhang Li said clearly: 'Ma Rong is reversed!' Now Zhang Li is gone, and he must have fled back to Shunyi Prefecture to report to Zhu Wu." I'm afraid that at this time, Zhu Wu hates you so much that he grits his teeth, what's the use of your loyalty?"
Ma Rong said: "Although Zhu Wu is incompetent, he has been kind to me, and I can't be treacherous!"
Li Shijian listened, sneered twice, and said: "Ma Rong, it seems that you are really a man who does not read poetry and books, and has courage and no strategy! You are also a celebrity who has won the sixth place in the world, but you don't know what faith is!"
Ma Rong said angrily: "Although I, Ma Rong, have not read many books, but the word loyalty and righteousness are memorized in my chest, why don't I know faith?"
Li Shijian said: "Emperor Datong Khan is mediocre and out of power, the three pillars have different intentions, and the displaced people in the eight eastern states rebel, when the world is in turmoil, how many families are ruined, and how many homeless people are wrong!"
I, Li Shijian, am determined to save the people and restore peace! I am loyal to the common people in the world, but you only talk about loyalty to one surname and one family, and you are stubborn and unyielding.
Ma Rong cross-examined: "You said it well, who knows what you did?"
Li Shijian laughed: "Ma Rong, wait until I take down Zhu Wu! ”
After Ma Rong was escorted down, Li Shijian said to Li Shijun and the generals: "The soldiers are fast, we have completely captured Nan'an Prefecture in two days and one night, now, should we attack Haizhou or Shunyi Prefecture?"
There was a lot of talking. Li Shijun said: "In the land of Haizhou, there are 30,000 people guarded by Zhu Wu's general, An Gongziming, and Zhu Wu's men and horses in Shunyi Prefecture are only forty or fifty thousand people.
At present, our army has 35,000 men and horses here, so why don't we ask Uncle Yun Hang and General Yang Can to lead 15,000 men to defend Nan'an, and my brother and I will each lead 10,000 horses and horses to Shunyi Prefecture and capture Zhu Wu, which will naturally return to Shunyi Prefecture and Haizhou. ”
Li Shijian nodded and said, "Okay! In this way, our army will attack in two directions, one bright and one dark. Younger brother, you led the troops to attack Luo County in the west of Shunyi Prefecture, where the treasury of Zhu Wu's army was located. The troops will be dispatched at noon today, and the momentum should be louder, and the bigger the better.
Today I will go to Wei County first, and set off from Wei County tomorrow evening to attack Zhu Wu's Shunyi Prefecture city at night, and be sure to capture Zhu Wu alive. ”
So the two brothers, each with 10,000 horses, set out.
Let's talk about Li Shijun's people along the way, they made a lot of noise along the way, and they just left Nan'an Prefecture, near Luo County, where the defenders of Zhuwu and Luo County already knew the news.
There were only 5,000 defenders in Luoxian, and the general Zhang Long heard that Li Shijun had led 10,000 troops to fight Luoxian, and discussed with his subordinates:
"I heard that this Li Shijun is extremely brave, known as the general of the slaughtering horse, and even Ma Rong, the sixth in the world, is not his opponent, what should we do?"
The result of the discussion was to ask Zhu Wu for help, Zhu Wu's side had lost Nan'an Prefecture two days ago, so he kept sending meteors to scout horses, and always inquired about the news of Li Shijian's side, therefore, Li Shijun wanted to fight Luo County, and Zhu Wu was naturally prepared:
Nan'an Prefecture was lost two days ago, and Zhu Wu had already gathered the generals to discuss how to take it back.
It's just that Ma Rong was captured, and none of the generals was Li Shijun's opponent, and he couldn't choose to lead the army for a while. Now I heard that Li Shijun was attacking Luoxian, so I had to send two generals, lead 10,000 reinforcements, and ordered:
"It's only better to stick to it without fighting, and wait until Li Shijun's food and grass are gone, and then he will naturally withdraw from the army!"
Li Shijun's troops entered the territory of Shunyi Prefecture but slowed down, and his military aircraft senator Zhao Pingyuan was puzzled and asked:
"Why has the general slowed down his march now? We are speeding up our march and conquering Luoxian in one fell swoop!"
Li Shijun said with a smile: "General Zhao, you only need to set up more flags along the way to make a big show for our army, and only boast that our army has increased to 30,000 troops!"
I am marching slowly, and the next step is to encircle Luoxian, just for example, to surround but not fight! Zhao joins the army, and on the day Luoxian surrenders, you will understand everything. ”
Zhu Wu's subordinates have already reported back from the horses: Li Shijun, the general of the horse slaughter, gathered reinforcements, and a total of 30,000 people came to Luo County!
Zhu Wu got the letter and sighed: "If Luoxian County is not guaranteed, my army will have nowhere to help, what can I do?"
One of Zhu Wu's generals named Wei Xin said: "Heavenly King, where are Li Shijun's men and horses?"
Zhu Wudao: "According to the report of Tanma, there are still more than 100 miles away from Luo County. ”
Wei Xin said: "Heavenly King, then Li Shijun is three hundred miles away from Luo County, and he has rushed half of the journey in half a day, so fast, I am afraid that he will seize my Luo County before the reinforcements."
The Heavenly King could send messengers to inform Chen Tong and Gao Yuan's second generals, asking them to speed up their march and arrive before Li Shijun arrived to besiege the city. Tomorrow morning, according to the situation, we will decide whether to send more reinforcements, what do you think?"
Zhu Wu listened, and even claimed that it was. Unexpectedly, the messenger was not sent, and Tanma reported again: Then Li Shijun slowed down the speed of the march!
Zhu Wudao: "General Wei, what's going on?"
Wei Xin said: "Heavenly King, Li Shijun must be strange in doing this! Could it be that they want to attract our army to rescue Luo County, and have other plans?"
Heavenly King, the two brothers Li Shijian and Yang Li Shijun, according to the battle report, are not only extremely brave, but also extremely strategic! Li Shijun made such a gesture, I am afraid that it is a false image, I don't know where Li Shijian is at this time?"
Zhu Wudao: "According to the report of Tanma, this person is now training and selecting generals in Nan'an Prefecture. ”
Wei Xin said: "If this is the case, it seems that they are going to concentrate their forces to take our Luo County. If this is not the case, the last general is worried, then Li Shijian will come to attack us. ”
When Zhu Wu heard this, he said: "General Wei is reasonable, but Nan'an Prefecture is 600 miles away from me, how can we sneak attack for a long distance without leaking the news? However, since General Wei has said this, we naturally have to strengthen our precautions. ”
It is said that Li Shijian's army was secretly assembled in Weixian County, preparing for a long-distance sneak attack, and constantly sending meteors to scout horses. Knowing that Zhu Wu had strengthened his garrison, he had another countermeasure in his heart:
Ling Ji Xiaohu led 5,000 soldiers, and the Chinese army raised the banner of Li Shijian and rushed to Sanhe County, east of Shunyi Prefecture, claiming to attack with Li Shijun on the West Road!
At this time, Li Shijun's army had arrived in Luoxian County and launched a siege battle. Li Shijun challenged the city, and no one in the city dared to come out. Li Shijun's army besieged the city on all sides, and the four gates were disturbed from time to time, although they did not exert their strength to attack the city, but they were also so frightened that the guards Zhang Long, Chen Tong, and Gao Yuan just asked for help.
Zhu Wu heard that the east and west roads were in a hurry, and summoned Wei Xin again: "General Wei, you see, Li Shijian personally attacked Sanhe County, what should I do?"
Wei Xin had no countermeasures, so he had to say: "Please ask the Heavenly King to give 10,000 horses to the last general to rescue Sanhe County." ”
Let's talk about Li Shijian's side. After sending Ji Xiaohu all the way to the army, I chose 3,000 elites, traveled to Xiaosu at night, and quietly came to the city of Shunyi Prefecture. At midnight and midnight on the third day, Li Shijian's 3,000 men and horses touched the city of Shunyi Prefecture.
As mentioned earlier, the city of Shunyi Prefecture has strengthened its garrison. Li Shijian called the three partial generals and gave some orders, so the two partial generals each led 500 soldiers and went to the east gate and the west gate respectively.
The only partial-part general, leading a thousand troops, went to the north gate, and Li Shijian asked him to attack with great fanfare. After the general went, not long after, the drums outside the north gate of Shunyi Prefecture shook the sky, and the shouts of killing began.
As soon as Zhu Wu undressed and went to bed, he heard that his subordinates reported that there were soldiers attacking the city at the north gate, so he quickly got up and ordered the men and horses in the city to guard the north gate, and at the same time strengthen the defense of the other three city gates.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the order was issued, the sound of the north gate stopped, and the war drums of the east and west gates shook the sky again!
Zhu Wu was shocked, and ordered a general to go to the aid of the West Gate, but he personally led 5,000 mobile men and horses to save the East Gate. When I arrived at the east gate, I saw that the drums had stopped, and no one was attacking the city!
Zhu Wu was puzzled in his heart, and suddenly there was a report from the horse: "The enemy soldiers at the North Gate are climbing the wall of the North Gate!"
Zhu Wu hurriedly led his troops to the north gate. However, the battle at the South Gate has started again!
Zhu Wu had no choice but to order: "The four gates are strictly guarded, and the city gates are not allowed to be lost, and when it is dawn, the enemy will retreat!"
After the order, Zhu Wu was furious and hated, and ordered a general to lead 5,000 soldiers, rescue the four gates at any time, and return to the city lord's mansion with a hundred guards.
When he came to the City Lord's Mansion, Zhu Wu ordered the guards to guard the door of the mansion, and only a few guards around him followed, so he went to the hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, he saw a person jumping out from behind the door, putting the long sword in his hand on Zhu Wu's shoulder, and shouting: "Zhu Wu! I am Li Shijian, surrender!"
When Zhu Wu heard this, he was so shocked that his soul flew out of the sky!
It turned out that Li Shijian had planned a sneak attack, but seeing that Zhu Wu had taken precautions, he had a plan at that time and used a trick "Black Tiger Heart-Digging Fist": At that time, the four gates of Shunyi Prefecture were disturbed, and Zhu Wu was at a loss, so he had to come to "respond to all changes with the same" and strengthen the garrison of the four gates.
However, Li Shijian had already led a hundred strong men, and in the city wall where no one was around, Yu secretly climbed over the city wall, sneaked into the city lord's mansion, captured all the guards and Zhu Wu's family, and lurked on the spot, just waiting for Zhu Wu to return to the mansion and catch him to eat and eat - such a black tiger came to Zhu Wu to dig out his heart, and sure enough, he directly caught Zhu Wu!
At that time, Zhu Wu was captured, and Li Shijian gave an order, and Zhu Wu's family and guards were escorted up.
When Zhu Wu arrived at this time, how could he not surrender?
Li Shijian said: "Zhu Wu, the one who knows the times is Junjie, since you surrender, let your subordinates lay down their arms and submit to me Li Shijian." I, Li Shijian, will raise troops, not for my own personal honor or disgrace, as long as I reopen peace for the world! When you follow me, you will have your own meritorious service and be crowned a marquis, do you understand?"
Zhu Wulian claimed that it was, and ordered his subordinates to surrender according to Li Shijian's request. Here is a stroke, Zhu Wu surrendered, and Ma Rong naturally surrendered obediently.
Li Shijian finished Shunyizhou, and when the battle ended, the sky was just bright.
After dawn, Zhu Wu's order reached all counties, and all counties surrendered. The defenders in the county seat of Naluo County also received Zhu Wu's order and surrendered on the spot.
Zhao Pingyuan, the military aircraft counselor, said to Li Shijun: "No wonder the general first slowed down the march, and then slowed down the attack on Luoxian, his subordinates now understand!"
Li Shijun said with a smile: "If I rush to defeat Luoxian before the reinforcements, I am afraid that Zhu Wubi will order his troops to shrink and jointly protect the city of Shunyi Prefecture, at that time, it will not be conducive to my brother's sneak attack on Shunyi Prefecture." Our soldiers made a big noise, but it was really to divide the strength of Zhu Wu's troops and serve my brother's attack on Shunyi Prefecture. ”
- Haizhou Quanzhou, after receiving Zhu Wu's order, naturally also submitted to Li Shijian. This battle spread to several sides, and the leaders of all sides were greatly impressed.
At this point, Zhu Wu's Nan'an Prefecture, Haizhou, and Shunyi Prefecture all belonged to Li Shijian, and Li Shijian owned the land of the five states, and for a time became an important force in all sides.
The Li Shijian brothers discussed which side they wanted to fight next, and among the several parties, there were already people who had the idea of the Li family brothers.
