The autumn wind whistled across the earth, and all the wild flowers on the hills withered, creating a sad atmosphere.
The news that Laizhou was captured was like a cold wind, blowing everyone's heart to the core.
After being escorted to Zizhou by fast horses, the cries of the prisoners under Qingzhou City were more like the death knell, hitting people's hearts every time.
Liu Wei sighed. Once Laizhou was defeated, Xia's army headed straight for Huang County along the coastal post road. The four counties of Penglai and Dengzhou would not be safe.
The city cannot be saved, the people cannot be saved, and the pastures of Denglai cannot be saved. These more than 200,000 people are far away from Qingzhou.
It is not ruled out that some brave and loyal people will stand up to resist, but it will inevitably be a struggle without any results.
Since the remnants of the Pinglu Army crossed the sea and went south to Ziqing to establish a vassal town, the old vassal town for more than 140 years was about to be wiped out before our eyes.
Alas! Liu Wei sighed again.
"Liu Dutou, the King of Xia loves his talents and is willing to treat him as a state and county, so why not come and surrender?"
"Besieging the city for so long is worthy of Teacher Wang, so why bother?"
"All the strong men in the city have been incorporated into the army. How many people will be left if the fight continues?"
"Those who know the current affairs are heroes, don't make mistakes!"
There were shouts and shouts outside the city. The soldiers were furious and wanted to draw their bows and shoot at them. Liu Wei stopped them from making blind moves. It was unnecessary.
"Why bother?" Liu Wei sighed: "Looking at it like this, it is only a matter of time before Ziqing Town is destroyed. Let's stay on the safe side."
After hearing this, the soldiers sighed again and again. The Shao thieves mobilized more than 100,000 troops to attack Yun, Yan, and Qiba Town. Yun Town was destroyed so slowly that they could barely react, and Yunzhou was there. Followed by, Ziqing
While the states were still mobilizing, Shao Tie personally led his troops, detoured to the north bank of the Yellow River, and made a surprise attack on Qizhou. He narrowly defeated the combined forces of the two towns and Qizhou also fell.
The king of Xia in the south was able to defeat the tens of thousands of people under Hu Zhen's command. He is still struggling to this day, asking him to help him with any small favors, so that the battle can be fought.
The young man discussed it privately and externally, and agreed that Shao Tiexue's night attack on Yunzhou established the entire victory. Once Yunzhou was advanced, the connection between the eight towns was severed, and only the spacious and long Laiwu Valley Passage between Yanzhou and Qingzhou was left. However, that
It has become a road of death, and some people dare to walk on it.
Until now, the young man is actually just stalling, and it is possible to turn the tide of the battle.
"Liu Dutou, have you thought about it?" The people in the city were still urging him.
"Song Rou of Qingzhou is surrendering, and you are surrendering. If Song Rou surrenders, you will surrender with the city." Liu Wei stood next to the male wall and whispered: "Other than that, I don't have anything to say."
The person who persuaded him to surrender was silent for a while and then left slowly.
Liu Wei also went to the top of the city and spoke silently.
Do you regret anything? Maybe not at all.
We also captured some prisoners of the Tielin Army during several night raids out of the city. Through those people, Liu Wei learned very little about what Wang Shuai did. There was nothing about people's livelihood, military strategy, politics, etc. Listen carefully.
, very admired.
As a military commander, who wants to meet a wise master? Wang Shuai has built such a small career, and is a rare narrow-minded person. He also suppresses the cruelty, tyranny, bloodthirsty and other negative emotions that warriors often have. Look,
He is a man who can achieve great things. If he can serve on my account, he may be able to leave his name in history.
It's a pity that Prince Taiwei has no kindness towards me. I will bear to abandon him even if the lord surrenders or not.
"Du Tou, there are few wounds medicines in the city, let's give them some more..." Lieutenant General Song Rouchao walked over and muttered.
"You still don't have the medicine given by Xiao Shuai in your room, so take it and give it to the brothers." Liu Wei waved his hand and said.
Li Gongquan still leaves.
Liu Wei's heart was like a mirror. He turned around and looked at his deputy and asked: "When the Xia soldiers first came, Qi Lang took the lead in the battle and kept saying that he was planning for his descendants. Now after fighting for several months, he is still hesitant and timid. Why?"
"
Li Gongquan felt no shame and said: "This is to hide the truth from the capital. The Xia soldiers are extremely powerful and fearful of death. They have been fighting for so long and I am scared. I can accept it if the Shao thief wants to force you to leave the town to fight."
.”
"Are there few people who have special thoughts with him?" Liu Wei asked.
At the same time, I secretly sighed in my heart, the will to fight is still like that of Yun Bing and Yan Bing. Is it really true that peace has lasted for a long time?
"Very few." Song Rouchao said honestly: "The boys all said that as long as Wang Shuai still allows us to serve as soldiers and continues to pay rewards, we will fight for Wang Shuai."
Liu Wei looked up to the sky and sighed.
The old soldiers were all like that, but the recruits trained by Zhu Quanzhong were even better. The whole town was destroyed.
Seeing Liu Wei's dejected look, Li Gongquan couldn't bear it, and said: "If Shao thief sympathizes with you and waits, and lets this young man lose his life, then he will continue to fight. After fighting for so long, our sons have become like
Once it’s over, we’re so at a loss what to do, it’s just as difficult for Shao Thief to eat us.”
Liu Wei smiled bitterly and said: "If Zhu Jin surrenders, you will surrender soon. If Song Rou surrenders, stay until the winter solstice. After this festival, you can surrender from Kaicheng."
Li Gongquan hesitated to speak, his eyes flickering as he decided to surrender. He would not surrender until the winter solstice. He first said that it was possible to defend until this time. He simply said that it was Liu Wei's order. It would be a pity to have anything happen to us.
Li Gongquan consciously considered the troops at hand.
****
Hundreds of miles away in the north of Yanzhou City, because the King of Xia was sending troops for several days, Li Tangbin assigned thousands of Li Shouxin's troops to Hu Zhen.
The Longxiang, Guangsheng, Shenjie, and Dragon-Tiger armies only had more than 20,000 troops. They had to divide their forces to guard Rencheng and Zhongdu. The number of troops was very tight. We asked for reinforcements several times, and some did come. The main force such as the Yi Congjun
They have all been to the Yanzhou battlefield, but they came and left again.
Our soldiers can hold a stalemate with the King of Xia, but if we have the ability to besiege the city, we can only stand still.
Li Shouxin's troops attacked the city of Zizhou several times and were frightened by the tragic battle situation. The young man was also happy to go south to Yanzhou.
There was a sound of horse hooves.
Wang Yanwen led the team back to the camp, with several heads hanging on the saddles.
The sergeants who went out with me all looked at me with admiration.
The general's strategy is obvious, but his martial arts and courage are indeed first-rate. No one in the mountains to the north is making trouble. I heard that they are the troops of Zhu Xuan, the military governor of the Later Tianping Army. Wang Yanwen took more than a thousand Weibo warriors to conquer , Xiao broke the bandit stronghold and killed Zhu Han, the leader of the bandit.
It's a pity that those people were just thieves and had nothing to do with Zhu Xuan. There were eight to seven hundred people in total, who occupied the mountain as kings, and went up to the mountain to plunder from time to time. They even successfully ambush a team transporting wounded soldiers, so that Hu Zhen was so angry that he sent out troops to search for the bandits' stronghold and annihilated them.
Wang Yanwen’s contribution is solid and solid.
"General Wang is back." People near and far greeted him when they saw it.
"Where is General Li?" Song Rouchao got on her horse and asked.
"I'm going to see Hu Zhen. Our brothers have been attacking the city for days and the casualties are huge. General, go and argue with us."
"Actually, it's just a fight. I heard that Song Rou has no military orders. All of your troops have been incorporated into the army, and most of them are going to Xiangzhou."
"Going to Xiangzhou? This is great."
Warriors admire brave men the most. Wang Yanwen was so brave that he earned the title of "Wang Tiejian". Now Dan Huazhou soldiers are divided around me, and even Bozhou soldiers have stopped approaching me. Li Shouxin, the lowest general, is almost gone. Fast Become Lives Up to Its Name.
"No one is going to Xiangzhou so slowly." Song Rouchao threw the reins to the soldiers and said with a smile: "Has he seen that the reinforcement of troops to Yanzhou has been completed recently? Zhao Lu's Zhongwu Army is about to go south, and Yanzhou's small army is gathering. We have to settle the accounts with King Xia."
Wang Yanwen's sense of smell is indeed keen.
The huge changes in the battle situation in Denglai broke the psychological defense of the Qi people. When the defenders of Zizhou and Qingzhou saw the prisoners of Laizhou, their faces turned pale. In the past few days, no one came to surrender every night, and the officers could stop them.
Just like that bird, but also spanked!
The only suspense now is that before the attack on Ziqing, Wang Shuai gave the young man some time to rest. If he did, Yanzhou's small army would break out, and tens of thousands of troops would rush south to launch the first general attack on Song Rou.
"I heard that King Liang is in Laizhou and does not have nearly 20,000 troops. Will the situation of the war change?" No one asked.
Wang Yanwen's expression was stagnant. He shook his head for a long time and said: "I heard that the separatist army suffered a tragic defeat. These soldiers are obviously capable of fighting. The king of Liang is trapped in the camp, and most of them have the power to recover."
After hearing those words, the Bozhou soldiers had expressions, but the Huazhou soldiers all sighed.
The King of Liang was once the little savior of the people of Henan, relieving the people from the suffering of hanging upside down, but it was pitiful that he ended up in that position.
"King Xia is out of the city again!" No scout shouted as he passed by slowly.
"Dong dong dong..." A sparse drumbeat sounded.
Wang Yanwen slowly stepped off a low platform and looked at the wilderness to the south.
The north gate of Yanzhou was slightly opened, and more than a thousand riders rushed from right to left, galloping horizontally and vertically.
He Delun, the Youyi envoy of Long Xiang's army, led his troops to meet them, and they stopped fighting.
The King of Xia was indeed brave. In a battle involving more than a thousand cavalry, the gods killed the gods and the Buddhas, and there were almost an enemy wherever he passed.
After a while, Xie Yanzhang, the deputy envoy of Guangsheng Army, also came forward with 700 cavalry.
"No. 1 in Mashan, Henan, what a small name..." Wang Yanwen subconsciously clenched the iron gun in his hand, then tightened it and loosened it.
Song Rou's little red cloak is very dazzling on the battlefield. I seem to avoid becoming the enemy's target at all, and I just rely on my martial arts and experience to harvest people's lives. However, in front of Song Rou Chao's eyes, King Xia is just being a trapped beast.
Just a fight.
When the Tielin Army and the Yi Cong Army moved tens of thousands of elite soldiers southward, the King of Xia feared that it would be a luxury to even leave the city to charge.
"The dying person..." Wang Yanwen looked again and went up to the low platform.
****
Wang Yanzhang was once again asked to leave the palace.
The Wang Shifan brothers were all present, and their faces were very good-looking.
Wang Yanzhang laughed secretly, but still made a serious expression and asked: "Zhu Jin postponed the call, but there is no decision yet?"
"I dare to ask the envoy, can Wang Shuai's response to the Jingnan Jiedushi envoy be counted?" Wang Shifan also went around in circles and asked directly.
Song Rouchao pondered for a while.
In fact, due to the war, I have recently received news from the front, but I did know the news that Laizhou was captured by the Feilong Army.
Moreover, I heard that the main force of the Feilong Army was capturing soldiers in seven places, integrating the Laizhou bandits and bandits, and weakly attacking the fortress guarded by Zhu Quanzhong. At the same time, it sent a partial force to the east to slowly attack in an attempt to capture the counties in Dengzhou. Such a small-scale action must have given rise to
The Wang brothers brought minimal pressure.
Furthermore, the situation has changed so drastically, has Wang Shuai also changed his mind? Wang Yanzhang dared to agree to anything without authorization. He could only say: "At this time and at that time, I was really hiding it from Zhu Jin. I have to ask your Majesty for instructions on this matter."
Wang Shiyue's face showed an angry look, and he scolded: "Why did you change your mind again?"
Wang Yanzhang was delighted and said: "When Wang Shijun and Wang Shuai ordered you to move to the town, the hall was full of people shouting and shouting to fight and kill. I responded resolutely. Now that the battle is like this, the fire is slow and burning, and the hatred must be immediately
Yes. Just ask, are there not such good things in the world?"
Wang Shiyue wanted to say more, but Wang Shifan stopped his brother and said: "After a year of fighting in Ziqing, the countryside is ruined, all industries are withered, and the people are in poverty. This must be kept secret, and the envoy can see it. This is all my fault. Hear me
Song Rou is narrow and generous, and treats the surrendered people favorably. If Qi Zhen surrenders, he will definitely treat the soldiers and civilians of the various states harshly."
Speaking of that, Wang Shifan suddenly squeezed out a few tears and said: "Please send the envoy back to Wang Shuai. He dares to leave the ancestral cemetery where he is. Now he is willing to dedicate Qi, Di, Zi, Lai and Deng Qizhou."
Of the seventy-eight counties, only Qingzhou was left. Wanwang approved it."
Good guy! Wang Yanzhang almost laughed out loud.
Qizhou and Dizhou have nothing to do with Wang Shifan? How dare they make it their own territory?
There is only one breath left in Zizhou, Laizhou has basically been wiped out, and Dengzhou is just around the corner. I want to take advantage of even the slightest loss.
Wang Yanzhang stroked his beard and asked, "Zhu Jin, have we reached that point..."
"The envoy will ask Wang Shuai for instructions, and you will wait for good news." Wang Shifan said.
"Song Rou is really talented." Wang Yanzhang sighed.
Wang Shifan replied, before bowing and bowing, he left the central hall.
I have something to do during the day tomorrow, so I may update the first one at night. I’ll look for an opportunity to make up for it after the second update.
