Chapter 42 The burning of Panyu City

Chunsheng woke up and rested for a while, drank tea, ate snacks, the wine had woken up, his subordinates said that Dongsheng had returned to the camp, Chunsheng felt a little melancholy, Dongsheng was really, he left without saying hello to me, he felt that he seemed to have done something to Dongsheng last night, but it seemed to be very vague, and he didn't want to admit it, he thought of Jasmine again, and gave birth to a faint sadness.

However, he knew that during the war, they couldn't help but have too many children's affections, and as soon as the lunch was over, General Yang Fu asked him to go to the big tent to discuss matters.

In the big tent, General Yang and General Lu sat in the chairman's seat. Chunsheng was standing on General Yang's side, looking at the other side, Dongsheng was looking at him without squinting, and he smiled at Dongsheng. Dongsheng also smiled, as if nothing had happened, so Chunsheng was relieved!

The two sides exchanged pleasantries and introduced each other. When Chunsheng was introduced, General Lu nodded to him and paid respect, he knew that Chunsheng was rumored to be the "victorious general", the right-hand man of Yang Fu.

General Yang said: "Panyu City is built by the mountains and rivers, and for decades they have been very arrogant to build all kinds of buildings, Zhao Tuo added and the successive Nanyue kings, Lu Jia expanded, very solid. It's easy to defend and hard to attack, what is the way you can break the game?"

General Lu said: "It is indeed difficult to attack directly, but we can use the wheel warfare method to defeat the enemy soldiers. General Yang's troops were in front and arrived at the foot of Panyu City and stationed in the southeast of the city, while General Lu's troops were in the rear and camped in the northwest of the city. We surrounded on all sides, taking turns to attack, so that the enemy could not breathe, and after being tired of dealing with our wheel battle, the enemy was psychologically exhausted, and felt that there was no way out, and every day to deal with it, it will be full of loopholes, and the fatigue will be fully revealed, so the siege can be obtained!"

Yang Fu thinks this is a good idea, and he thinks it's okay to ask others, General Lu is kind and sleek, of course he applauds.

Chunsheng didn't say anything, in fact, Chunsheng felt that the wheel battle could certainly drag the enemy down, but our side was also easy to get tired, and it was difficult to have any practical effect in the end. But General Lu had already applauded, and he couldn't say anything. When Yang Servant asked him what he thought, of course he didn't want to offend the other party's military advisor, so he said, "Just follow the opinion of the military advisor!"

The Han army besieged the city for many days, and the wheel battles were round after round, but they could not break the city. Lu Jia and Zhao Jiande closed the city gate and held on, and the Han army was helpless for a while. It made the Han army extremely tired and complained a lot.

Dongsheng and Chunsheng take turns fighting every day, and their physical strength is very exertional, and the two don't even have time to talk, only nodding and smiling when they meet, they both know that they are very tired and don't want to disturb such a short rest. If you continue to consume like this, the possibility of winning is decreasing step by step!

Yang Fu had no choice but to convene a meeting of the generals again to find a new way to break the situation.

At this time, Chunsheng spoke: "It is early spring, when South Vietnam is dry, the weather is dry and dry, and there are many thatched wooden houses in South Vietnam, which are easy to catch fire. If we attack with fire, it may work wonders. The first is to send as many arrows with fire into the city as possible, preferably with ten thousand arrows; second, there must be a strong wind, and the fire catches the wind, so that we can burn from outside the city to the inside of the city, and third, at night, when it is not prepared. ”

The opposing military adviser said: "Prepare for the arrows, as well as the hay and branches, but how long will we wait for this strong wind? If the wind does not blow all the time, then we are not preparing in vain?"

General Lu and General Yang both looked at Chunsheng, who smiled lightly and said, "You prepare rockets, grass, branches, etc., and listen to my notice within five days, and I will be responsible for calling the wind." But someone has to help open the altar and sacrifice, so that Heaven will give us the wind, and in five days we will have a strong wind!"

Dongsheng immediately said: "Okay, Chunsheng, I believe in you, and I will bring a few brothers to help you." Chunsheng said happily: "Okay, with the help of my junior brother, everything can be done." With Dongsheng's support, the military advisor stopped talking, and Yang Fu laughed and said, "This matter is so decided!" Chunsheng and Dongsheng looked at each other and smiled, Dongsheng saw that his senior brother was so happy, and his little heart was beating again, and he sighed in his heart, Senior Brother is so cute!

The two Han armies began to quietly prepare a large amount of haywood, firewood, and rockets, just waiting for the notice of Chunsheng. Three days have passed, and when the military advisor is complaining, Chunsheng came to report that there is a strong wind tonight, and you can light a fire!

During the night, the wind did rise, and it blew harder and stronger. The Han army began to fire thousands of arrows, and the hay and timber were ignited and thrown into the city. Most of the dwellings in South Vietnam are built by grass and trees, the most afraid of fire, the fire borrows the wind, and in the blink of an eye, the city is full of flames, the city is burned to the outside of the city, and the city is burned to the city.

Yang Fu led his troops to attack the city from the front, invincible all the way!

The military advisor gave Lu Bode an idea to put on a red face in the northwest of the city, to convince people with virtue, and to buy people's hearts - Lu Bode opened the camp gate in the northwest of the city, recruited those who surrendered, rewarded them with seals, and then let those who were successfully bribed go to the city to surrender.

The defenders of Panyu did not know how many troops the Han army had, and they only heard that Yang Fu was cruel and merciless, while Lu Bode was benevolent, seeing that the city was in flames and could not be saved, and finally the army's heart was shaken, and batch after batch surrendered to Lu Bode.

By dawn the next day, the city of Panyu fell.

General Lu received a lot of troops and generals, which made Yang Fu very unhappy, I am desperately attacking the city, you are a good person there to sit back and enjoy the success, and finally end up with a good reputation!

Although there is discomfort, it has not yet reached the point of seizure!

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Lu Jia and Zhao Jiande had to break through and escape with the remnants of the army, and retreated by boat to Lu Jia's hometown, a hundred miles south of the city.

At this time, Yang Fu did not move, he wanted to see what General Lu was capable of.

Chunsheng persuaded: "General Yang, it is best to chase the poor, and if you don't chase the results, you will give General Lu all the gains." ”

General Yang said: "Chunsheng, my heart has been decided, you don't need to persuade me." Chunsheng had no choice but to retreat.

General Lubod pursued the rebels relentlessly. But what should I do if I encounter a stone urn and a Jindouhe?

The military advisor came up with a big move, let the Han army weave the bridge with ropes, and the bridge was erected on both sides by swimming in the water, and those who could not swim crossed the river blocking the stone urn and the golden bucket through the bridge made of ropes.

Lu Jia and Zhao Jiande had no choice but to flee to the sea with hundreds of cronies, hoping to get the response of Yu Shan, the king of Minyue and Dongyue, but Yu Shan didn't pay attention to them at all.

Lu Bode learned of the whereabouts of Lü and Zhao from the newly surrendered South Vietnamese officials, and immediately continued to send troops to pursue them. As a result, Lü Jia was captured and beheaded by Sun Du, the former official of Nanyue Guolang, and Zhao Jiande was captured by Sima Du, the former captain of Nanyue, and presented to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. As a result, these two people were named Hai Chang Hou and Lin Cai Hou respectively. The emperor rewarded Yang and Lu Bode heavily, but in fact rewarded Lu Bode more heavily, better, and higher, because he finally captured the leader of the traitors, and Yang Fu did not listen to Chunsheng's advice and missed the opportunity.

Yang Fu and Lu Bode led the Han army to break through Panyu, Lu Bode captured the leader of the rebels, and won a decisive victory in South Vietnam.

The Han court placed nine counties in South Vietnam, including the South China Sea, which were directly under the jurisdiction of the central government.

As soon as the battle of Nanyue ended, Chunsheng immediately found General Yang Fu and said: "We have won the battle in Nanyue, we should immediately send troops to Minyue, the leader of Minyue Yu Shan already has a rebellious heart, we should take Minyue in one go, first, from now on Minyue will return to our Han Dynasty, second, after our army enters Minyue, I can also find my wife and children, this is also what the general promised!"

Yang Fu said: "I promised you, but Chunsheng, don't worry, the more Fujian is a vassal country, and fighting Fujian is a major national matter, not something that I can personally decide." I will immediately write to Emperor Wu, suggesting that the army that defeats Nanyue will attack Minyue again, and we will act after the emperor's approval, what do you think?"

As soon as Chunsheng heard this, he couldn't say anything. In fact, he knows very well that "the general is outside, and the king's order can not be accepted." But since General Yang said that he wanted to ask the emperor's opinion, he had to wait, in fact, his heart was tormented and extremely anxious!

A few days later, news came from the capital, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was tired of military travel and did not allow the immediate attack on Minyue, and ordered the troops to move to Yuzhang and Meiling (now Ningdu, Jiangxi) in Jiangxi Province to stand by.

Yang Fu hesitated for a few days whether to tell Chunsheng, seeing that Chunsheng came to him every day, he looked at him with a blank eye, and felt that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he told Chunsheng what the emperor meant, and Chunsheng became angry when he heard it!
