Chapter 1053: Commitment
The battle to attack Shangjing was underway, and it seemed that Yun Zhao had no intention of accomplishing it overnight. After more than ten days of leveling the external trenches, the wide moat outside Shangjing began steadily. With the strength of the Northern Army, they
The moat can be filled directly, but considering that the moat in Shangjing is connected with the water system in the city, once the moat outside is filled, it will affect the city. Yun Zhao directly rejected this proposal. It is easy to fill it, and it will be excavated later.
The difficulty was greater. The Northern Army still adopted the plan to deal with the moat when he was in Jiangling, and the logistics and supplies were driven
The factory made a large number of hollow siege cars and pushed them directly into the moat. In this way, the soldiers could also step across the river directly. The only thing that could counterattack on the city was
Using thunderbolt cannons to destroy these siege cars, Qin Sheng's thiege cannons that had not been used finally began to fight back, but the price was extremely high. After destroying a section of siege cars in the moat, the thiege cannon that exposed the target
It brought a storm-like blow. Seeing that the loss of the thunderbolt cannon exceeded the amount of supplementary amount, Qin Sheng was worried, but he could not do it.
Yun Zhao is not focused on siege now. His generals have more experience than him in how to siege the city, and his energy is now more involved in the situation across the country.
With the besieged by Shangjing, the general trend of the world has been basically determined. This game of chess to compete for the world has settled. It is not necessary to say that the areas that have been captured by the Northern Army have not yet been involved in some areas.
It's time to start taking sides. If there is no sign of anything at this time, they will wait for the visit of the Northern Army to conquer the next step. This is a conceivable situation.
No one would think that the Li Dynasty had a chance to turn the tables. Combined with the death of Li Mian, the young emperor of the Northern Court, the Northern Army did not establish a new puppet again. Yun Zhao's mind was already Sima Zhao's heart.
Everyone knows it.
Now it's time to get there sooner or later.
Yun Zhao did not take any slowness for these people who could surrender now. He only had one requirement. All these places must send an army, regardless of the number of people, even if it was a hundred people, just need to shoot their local flags.
Zhao needs them to go up to the capital and make their position clear to the world.
Everyone must participate in this battle to siege Shangjing.
As the local Shangzhen Army's flags became more and more popular, the despair in Shangjing became stronger and stronger. As Shuzhou, Bazhou and other places raised flags outside the city, the world of Dayue had already turned against each other, Li
The ten thousand miles of the clan dynasty are now only an isolated island in Shangjing.
With the war, Yun Zhao hopes that there will be some changes in the city. After all, Shangjing City is the capital of the Li family for hundreds of years. After hundreds of years of operation, the name of the world's No. 1 heroic city was not called in vain. It takes hard work.
The price is too high, and Yun Zhao doesn't want to spread a huge price at the last moment. This is not a good deal. If he can exchange external siege and strong coercion for changes in the city, and thus take over the capital city at the lowest price,
It is what Yun Zhao is most happy to see.
In the capital, not everyone wants to be swept into the garbage dump along with the Li Dynasty.
A month after the army surrounded the capital, the Anqing Camp of Su Dingfang was first launched. Tens of thousands of Anqing Camp soldiers rushed across the moat like ants under the cover of countless thunderbolt cannons and crossbows, facing the Beijing City.
The city wall launched its first frontal attack, and a specially-made extended ladder mounted on the top of the city. Mengchong City's cone head hit the thick city gate hard, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout Shangjing.
The first day of the attack ended in vain. As Qin Sheng said, the soldiers in the city were not good at fighting in the field, but defending the city could still be useful. Although the losses were a little larger, the Northern Expedition Army did not take up anything.
Cheap.
The next day, it was replaced by Hu Zehua's Panshi Camp and changed the direction of the attack.
On the third day, Lucheng Camp, which became Meng Yao, changed its direction.
On the fourth day, Quan Yifeng wore a ward.
Next, there is a main battle camp every day, changing different attack points every day.
It seems that the Northern Army is looking for loopholes in the defense of Shangjing City.
Qin Sheng couldn't figure out Yun Zhao's thoughts. If it was a test, there was no need to test for such a long time. Every time he went to a battalion and attacked a place, if the Northern Expedition Army surged up, the soldiers in the city would be
Qin Sheng will definitely be in a hurry with his qualities. What makes Qin Sheng even more frightened is that almost every day, the Northern Army will change its battle camp to attack, and the intensity of the attack and the intensity of the war did not change with the army's number at all.
And it was weakened at all, which also meant that the combat powers of the main battalions of the Northern Army were almost different. Compared with the city, Qin Sheng was despair except for despair.
Yun Zhao is showing his strength. He wants some people in the city to take a look and think about it, and thus make certain decisions.
Soon, there was a response in the city, but the responders were surprised by the entire Northern Army. It was actually the Cao family, and it was actually the Cao Xiang.
The person who came was Cao Fang, who was Cao Xiang’s uncle.
Looking at the sixty-year-old man in his sixties, Yun Zhao narrowed his eyes, "What does the Chief Auxiliary say?"
Without asking Cao Xiang, ask Cao Yi directly. Yun Zhao naturally knew that only Cao Yi could make this decision. Cao Yi's life, he turned his hand into clouds and turned his hand into clouds. Li Jian and Li Xiao, that one was not in his mind.
In his hand, even the old emperor Li Jia was inevitably stabbed by Cao Yi after his death. This was a real guy who was as cunning as a jackal wolf. Yun Zhao was full of vigilance against him. He didn't want to follow the people above.
In the footsteps, it is not an exaggeration to look up to someone like Cao Yi at all.
"It has nothing to do with the Prime Minister, it is the decision of General Cao Cao." Cao Fang's answer made Yun Zhao even more surprised and full of doubt.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, because the Prime Minister has now become a prisoner!" Cao Fang replied with a wry smile, "It was the prince's work. Lou Xiang's betrayal directly knocked down our Cao family. Now the first one is the first one
Lord Fu and Lord Wang, the Minister of War, were both held in the palace by Qin Rouni. Qin Rouni even threatened their lives and asked General Cao to defend the city to the death, otherwise he would kill everyone in the Cao Wang family."
"Since that's the case, why did Cao Xiang surrender? Could it be that he wasn't afraid that Qin Rouni would kill them?" Yun Zhao asked.
"The Chief Aunt said that the destruction of the two families of King Cao is a foregone conclusion. Whether he can defend or not in the capital, he will definitely not see this day. Since that is the case, why not give the prince a big gift?" Cao Fang said.
Yun Zhao turned his head and looked around. Han Zhongyi was recruited by him from the north. Now, in his tent, in addition to military generals, there are many more civil officials. Wang Gui, Zhuo Yiming and others are all following.
On one side, She Wenzhuang has also returned, and a disabled person with broken legs and crutches sits on the side. Of course, this person is Suo Wenhai.
"What does Cao Xiang say?" Han Zhong saw Yun Zhao looking at him and immediately asked, "What are his conditions?" If Cao Xiang could surrender, it would be a good thing for the Northern Army, and it would be a life left.
There is no problem, Han Zhong believes Yun Zhao thinks so too.
"General Cao has no conditions. If you really want to say anything, you are asking the prince to let General Cao leave after breaking the city. From now on, the sky is high and the water is long, and there will be no more time to meet each other." Cao Fang said.
"That's just one condition?" Han Zhong felt a little incredible.
"That's the only condition!" Cao Fang nodded and said affirmatively.
If something goes wrong, there will be a demon! Everyone in the tent was filled with storms and waves, and their hearts were full of doubts, but they could not find any problems.
"If the prince allows it, three days later, the south gate guarded by General Cao Xiang will be wide open, and the soldiers there will be transferred to other places. I believe that with the strength of the Northern Army, the strength of the Northern Army can be controlled in a very short time.
The south gate blocked the reinforcements transferred by Qin Sheng. As long as the Northern Army entered the city, without the obstacles of the city wall, the soldiers in the city would no longer have the power to fight. Taking Shangjing would be easy for the Northern Army to take over.
." Cao Fang said: "Your Majesty, don't worry about what tricks my general plays. In fact, what tricks do we have to play now? In the face of absolute strength, no tricks will be defeated."
Everyone naturally understood this truth, but they just couldn't figure it out why Cao Xiang was like this?
With a few ticks, Suo Wenhai walked out of the shadow behind the crowd with a crutch. "Prince, can you allow Suo to ask a few questions?"
"Of course!" Suo Wenhai is sinister. Although he is resourceful, he is not favored by Yun Zhao. However, this person is indeed wise. He also made great contributions to the Northern Army's annexation of the Bailian Army. Although he was not happy about it, he was not satisfied.
Yun Zhao never treated him badly. Besides, Suo Wenhai and Hong Niangzi, the backer, were very comfortable in the Northern Expedition Army.
"Do you dare to ask Mr. Cao Fang, is General Cao Cao leaving alone, or should you take Jia Xiao with him?" Suo Wenhai stared at Cao Fang and asked.
When Cao Fang was seen by Suo Wendi's eyes with a slight glow, he felt panicked for no reason. "Of course he wanted to bring Jia Xiao. If General Cao was alone, what else would he have to worry about in the field? How could he surrender?
”
Suo Wenhai lowered his head, thought for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "I understand, among the so-called small families such as Prince and Cao Xiang, there must be descendants of the Cao family, and even descendants of the Wang family."
"You are slandering, and it's all about General Cao's own family!" Cao Fang was shocked and angry, and immediately retorted.
Suo Wenhai laughed in a dark way, "Mr. Cao Fang, you probably don't know who I am, what I did before? Let me tell you the truth, I used to be a butler who specializes in the field at the Fourth Prince's Mansion. Everyone is very good
I have seen many secret secrets in the courtyard. As the extremely core general of the Cao family, Qin Rouni detained the Cao family. How could you let your family go? Cao Yi is already in prison, but she is still here
Could it be that the painstaking plan is for Cao Xiang, and naturally it is for his Cao family to continue to take over the cigarettes?"
Cao Fang was sweating all over his face, "General Cao's family was naturally detained, but General Cao had his own dark room outside. It was for these reasons that General Cao decided to surrender."
"There are some in the outer room, but it is not General Cao's name, but Cao's direct descendant!" Suo Wenhai turned around and bowed to Yun Zhao, and retreated into the shadow.
Suo Wenhai's words immediately woke everyone up. Looking at Cao Fang's face, he was full of sarcastic smiles.
Yun Zhao smiled, "Mr. Cao Fang, I think Master Suo's opinion is correct, right? Is this all Cao Yi's arrangement? Awesome, powerful, in prison, can still determine the life and death of a dynasty, Cao Yi's life
It’s not in vain to live!"
Cao Fang's legs became weak and he sat on the ground.
"Go back and tell Cao Xiang that I promised him that I will not pursue the investigation whether he took away Cao Yi's descendants or even Wang Jingluo's descendants." Yun Zhaolang said.
"Prince!" Everyone in the tent spoke out, obviously trying to stop Yun Zhao from cutting the grass and not removing the roots. The spring breeze blew. Cao Yi was a scheming person, and he might have something to do if he left the descendants of the Cao family.
Yun Zhao waved his hand, "Go back and tell Cao Xiang that since he has painstakingly preserved his bloodline for the two families, it is best to be a person in charge from now on. If he has any ideas, he knows the consequences."
Cao Fang was sweating profusely, but he was overjoyed. "The prince promised a thousand gold, so he would not regret it. He would burn the bridge across the river."
"Yun never loses his trust. If Yun was a person who broke the bridge and killed donkeys across the river, could he stand outside the capital today?" Yun Zhao laughed to the sky, "Even if Cao Wang Er was a centipede worm,
If they die without being stiff, or if they can turn over, they can make trouble, and they can only lie at Yun's feet."
