Chenggu County.

p,

General Zuo Guangxian had arrived outside Chenggu City for more than ten days. He led 8,000 elite soldiers to surround Chenggu County. One letter of persuading surrender was then shot in.

At the beginning, the content of the letter of persuasion of surrender only promised that Pei Xiao2 would be given up for surrender. Later, after seeing that this persuasion of surrender did not work, he changed his strategy, and the goal of persuasion of surrender also changed from Pei Xiao21 at the beginning.

The official positions promised to be appointed as the senior executive of the Pei family army are getting bigger and bigger, from the beginning of being the general, guerrilla, and one way up to the current position of being the general and deputy general.

Every time the officers and soldiers tied these letters of surrender to the arrow shaft and shot them into the city, special people in the city gathered these letters of surrender and destroyed them in a concentrated manner.

This action was not a command from Pei Xiao2, or a hint of what he had obtained. However, after the soldiers of the Pei family army picked up these letters of persuasion, they would take the initiative to hand over to their respective officials, and then their respective officials would gather the letters at Pei

Xiao 2 was on hand. Later, the soldiers thought this method was troublesome, so they spontaneously collected these letters of surrender and handed over them.

There are only hundreds of people, and they are all in every way. What's more, there are more than 7,000 military generals in the city, and the ideas of them are even more difficult to align.

Luo Shijin walked over with a pile of thick letters, came to Pei Xiao2, handed the letter in his hand to Pei Xiao2, and said, "General, the letters of persuasion that were confiscated today must have been fewer than tens of them yesterday.

The seal must be because someone hides it secretly. His intention is self-evident. He must be trying to get along with the officers and soldiers. He will send someone to interrogate him strictly and find these people."

Pei Xiao 2 resulted in a pile of letters of persuasion. 1 flipped through it casually and said, "Don't be so anxious. If you don't have a few dozen letters, just a few dozen letters will be less. If you don't have to, the soldiers will hide it. Maybe it's

The paper of the officers and soldiers is almost used up. Perhaps it is because the people who use it by the officers and soldiers are lazy. After all, it is really not cheap to use so many papers every day."

Facing Pei Xiao2's joke, Luo Shijin didn't know whether to laugh or say that Pei Xiao2 was very worried. It was time to go, and she was still in the mood to joke. However, after seeing Pei Xiao2 so calm,

Luo Shijin's originally anxious heart also relaxed a lot.

"Besides, even if you ask you to check, what can you find? Just a piece of paper, you can hide it in any place, and it will make us feel guilty, making the entire army panic, and shake the hearts of the army.

, let them go."

Luo Shijin was still a little unwilling to give up, but since Pei Xiao2 had already given the order, even if he was unwilling to do so, he would hide his thoughts in his heart and choose to execute the general's order.

"But one point can be seen through this incident, that is, we can't delay any further. If we delay any further, the morale of the army will become more and more shaken."

In fact, from these small things, we can see that the soldiers below and some low-level officers no longer had the confidence to win at the beginning and began to become afraid and waver. The letter of persuading surrender to the soldiers of privately retained the soldiers is essentially

It is just that they want to leave a way out for themselves.

In fact, it is not surprising that the Pei family army had just defeated Baocheng, and then withdrew more than 80 miles overnight to retreat to Chenggu. Then an incident of officers and soldiers besieging the city occurred.

Not only that, during the period when the officers and soldiers attacked the city, the Pei family army was on the defensive stance and never took the initiative to go out of the city to attack the official army. In the eyes of some soldiers at the bottom, this was really a bit discouraged, so no wonder they didn't think too much.

"At about this time, it should have arrived." Pei Xiao2 murmured in the direction of Yang County.

Outside the city, Zuo Guangxian was not idle at 1 o'clock during this period.

While he ordered people to copy a large number of letters of persuasion every day, he also ordered people to cut down wood and make siege equipment. Even several cannons at the top of Baocheng were moved over by him. The siege soldiers were siege.

, several battles in one day.

1. Just to capture the city Gucheng and take down Pei Xiao2 in the city.

"Sir," the curtain of the big tent suddenly lifted from outside, and deputy general Yang Chulong walked in with great strides.

"What's the matter with you coming here?" Zuo Guangxian frowned slightly. Although they were all colleagues and had a good relationship with each other, Zuo Guangxian still couldn't stand others rudely breaking in like this.

~Novel app,-app..

"Sir, good things." Yang Chulong did not feel that his behavior was inappropriate and said excitedly, "There was news from Nanzheng that the Liu Kaiwen sent by Lord Hong had successfully persuaded Wang Wanjin to surrender to the court."

"Oh? This is a good thing. I can't help but go to Nanzheng to attack this guy." Zuo Guangxian said happily.

Although it is necessary to fight, Zuo Guangsh is confident that he will defeat Wang Wanjin's 50,000-strong mob in one move, but after all, he needs to send someone to fight. If he has that free time, it is better to attack the Pei family army.

After all, the Pei family army was valued by the Emperor Hong. The famous bandit in the world, and the benefits of the emperor won Pei Xiao 2 in 10,000 yuan. Maybe the court will give him a general seal to reward him.

Credit. Compared with the accompanying Xiao 2, Wang Wanjin is not even a big deal.

"Since that guy surrendered, it's just right to send someone to transfer him over and participate in the siege." Zuo Guangxian said lightly.

The siege in the past few days is like a black hole, and the lives of the soldiers under the Devourer. Zuo Guangxian, who only had 8,000 people, had long been unable to withstand these days. The soldiers below had already complained, and wanted to

If Zuo Guang hadn't been shocked by his previous majesty, these officers and soldiers might have mutinized and joined the bandits.

However, after all, Zuo Guang could not completely ignore the opinions of the soldiers at the bottom, otherwise the morale of the army would be dispersed. So he wrote to Liu Hanru, Baocheng several times, asking him to transfer the civilians from Baocheng to participate in the siege to save his own losses.

However, although Zuo Guangxian is the general and a dignified second-rank official, when it comes to status, he is really not as good as Liu Hanru, the magistrate of Baocheng, who is only a 7th-rank official. This is still the chaos in the world in recent years.

When they were desperately using the generals like them, if they were in Changping, a 2nd rank general might not be as good as a 7th rank civil servant.

Therefore, although Zuo Guangxian was the general, he still needed to discuss with Liu Hanru and win Liu Hanru's consent to transfer the people in Baocheng and attack the city together.

Fortunately, Zuo Guangxian also fought side by side with Liu Hanru once, and Liu Hanru had a great influence on him. Therefore, after receiving Zuo Guangxian's letter, Liu Hanru transferred 3,000 people from Minzhuang who originally guarded the city.

The man lent to Zuo Guangxian.

body

It sounds like 3,000 people, but after actually entering the siege, what is the difference between it and that drop in the bucket? Nearly a thousand people have been consumed in just a few days. Just as Wang Wanjin was worried, he just happened to hit him.

Is it just right to send a pillow to sleep?

Yang Chulong nodded and said, "Don't worry, Sir, I have sent someone to Nanzheng. I believe that Wang Wanjin will come here obediently in the future."

"That's good." Zuo Guang stood up first, walked out of the tent, looked at the defense line of Chenggu County in the distance, and sneered: "I want to see how the thief in Chenggu County should deal with it."

In Ziwu Valley, a team of officers and soldiers advanced rapidly along the plank road. They were well-equipped, well-trained, and had a neat move, without any drag. It can be seen that this is an elite army that has been on the battlefield for a long time.

"Report, sir, I found traces of large thieves in Heguan three times ahead." The scouts made a long journey and quickly conveyed what happened in front of me to the ears of practicing state affairs.

3 Heguan is located on the only way to lead to Yangxian from Ziwu Road. Originally, the Ming Dynasty court set up a general jurisdiction here. Later, when Pei Xiao3 occupied Yangxian, he sent people to go deep into the Qinling Mountains to find dangers.

Wherever, set up a stronghold and defending the north to find this place when the officers and soldiers heading south.

Chen Jieqi refused to surrender and defended the city with the Chen clan members in the pass. Pei Xiao3 sent his general Gao 3 to lead 3,000 troops. He attacked for more than 5 days, and then occupied the place.

After most of the time, only 5 hundred soldiers were left to guard this place.

The terrain of 3 Heguan is dangerous and is located at the confluence of 3 waters. It is extremely difficult to deploy troops. With the walls at the gates, the stacks are made of stone, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is difficult to capture this place in a very short time.

At that time, Gao Sanzhong led a large army to evacuate this place, leaving only 500 people to guard this place. This is the reason.

Practicing state affairs has a little ugly face. He rushed to hurry up, but he was still 1 step late. Now he is in an extremely awkward situation. If he attacks 3 Heguan, then it will be a matter of whether he can defeat him. Even if he can defeat him, he will be shocked.

3. The Yangxian behind Heguan will be in vain for the purpose of their raid.
