Zhou Dingshan's eyes were embarrassed, and he opened his mouth with a smile, "The person who came here announced his name and said he was a staff member under Zhang Dasheng. He has been detained by Qi Wenhan. Does the supervisor want to see him? If the supervisor thinks it is not necessary,
, I will immediately order Qi Wenhan to send this guy away."
Zhou Dingshan, a murderer on the battlefield, never had a good impression of the people around Zhang Damou, so he spoke more fiercely. Tie Mo touched his chin and thought for a while. Soon, Tie Mo figured out the joints, tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers, and said
There was a slight thumping sound, just like people's heartbeats. "Understood, if what I expected is correct, Li Boyang should have been sent by Wang Ziyong with the purpose of negotiating peace with us."
Li Boyang must have some ability to have been Zhang Damou's staff for so many years. On the way to Yan'an City, Li Boyang was a little uneasy. He was afraid that his plan would fail and he would be thrown into Yan'an City. When Tie Mo agreed to be summoned,
My mood improved a lot. I walked along the central street and came to the familiar Meihuayu Manor. I was filled with emotions for a while. The manor was still as grand and beautiful as before, but the owner was not the original owner. He used to be a man who could change everything, but now,
He could only be cautious, fearing that he would be chopped off by the guards if he made any mistakes. On the bluestone road ahead, there were burly Ruifeng Battalion soldiers on both sides. Some of them were holding two-handed axes, with fierce eyes, staring at Li Boyang.
He walked towards the small building. Li Boyang knew very well that he really didn't have the ability to pass through so many people.
Looking at Li Boyang standing in the hall, Li Boyang was so embarrassed that he didn't even dare to raise his eyes. Tie Mo breathed a long sigh of relief, touched the back of his head and asked slowly, "Are you Li Boyang? Are you not afraid of being killed by this supervisor?"
Got you??”
"Afraid, of course I'm afraid, but the Superintendent is not an unreasonable person." Li Boyang calmed down and tried to calm down. "I thought that the Superintendent had already captured Yan'an Prefecture and had enough protection for the Hetao. This battle
If the fight continues, Leader Wang may not be able to handle it, but the Superintendent will also be unable to bear it. According to my understanding, the Superintendent wants to hold the Yan'an Mansion in his hands, but it doesn't seem to be going so well."
"Oh, it seems you know a lot." Tie Mo's tone was light. Coupled with Tie Mo's previous deeds, it was difficult for Li Boyang not to be careful. He thought for a while and said hesitantly, "I heard that Yan'an recently
Due to the changes that have occurred in the city, the Superintendent also intends to suppress the Maitreya Sect, and I feel that since the Superintendent has no intention of getting involved in the northwest area, and our people are also unwilling to start a war again, we will not affect each other. The Superintendent can rest assured, as long as the Superintendent promises to sell
Give us some food and stop oppressing our troops. Leader Wang, Leader Zhang and others will definitely contain Gao Yingxiang for the Superintendent and will never form an alliance with him."
"You don't have to act in front of me. I really have no interest in you. It's no problem for us to make a verbal agreement. But one thing is, what's going on with Gao Yingxiang? What's going on with the alliance?
"
Tie Mo clearly saw the intrigue between Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang. Li Boyang quickly waved his hand and said anxiously, "Gao Yingxiang sent a letter to Chief Wang before, hoping that the two sides would form an alliance and use troops against the Central Plains at the same time."
After hearing this, Tie Mo frowned. Gao Yingxiang is really difficult to deal with. If Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang form an alliance and use troops against the Central Plains at the same time, after the situation becomes chaotic, the Northern Shanxi Army will inevitably be restrained and sent to the Central Plains. This is not the case.
What Tie Mo wants to see, at least for now, is that Tie Mo doesn't want to fight with the bandits because the time is running out.
Of course Tie Mo will not believe Wang Ziyong, but that does not mean that he cannot use it. Since Wang Ziyong has prestige, let him continue to maintain the status quo, "Okay, I believe you for the time being, but remember, if you dare to be half-hearted, I will
The master will not be polite. You go back and tell Wang Ziyong and Zhang Damou not to have any plans for Hetao and Yan'an Prefecture in the future. In addition, I will build an official road from northern Shanxi to Bashu to let them know more."
"Thank you, Supervisor" Li Boyang couldn't hide his joy, this trip was finally not in vain.
Li Boyang was full of joy, but Shen Yongzhong in Yichuan City had a sad face, as if his parents were dead. In the final stage of the Yanshui River battle, Zhang Xianzhong and Liu Wenxiu all led their troops to the Yanshui River to defend Yichuan.
It fell on Shen Yongzhong. Originally, Shen Yongzhong thought it was safest to stay in Yichuan, but he never thought that he would be trapped and die in Yichuan.
The officers and soldiers have almost controlled the entire Yan'an Prefecture. Now only Yichuan is still resisting tenaciously. The most terrible thing is that all Wang Ziyong's troops have fled. Shen Yongzhong seems to have lost all time. Yichuan is in a precarious situation.
It may collapse at any time. Shen Yongzhong was confused and heartbroken. Perhaps after the failure of the Yanshui River battle, he should have thought of such a fate. Is there any point in continuing to fight?
With only Yichuan City, there is too little that can be done. At this time, Shen Yongzhong does not have the high spirits of the past, nor does he have the bloodthirsty ferocity, and some are just discouraged. He has not thought about winning now.
, all I was thinking about was how to find a way out. At this moment, a letter was delivered to the city.
Looking at the letter in his hand, Shen Yongzhong finally opened it and read it, "Surrender, the soldiers and people will be like Yan'an City. If you don't surrender, Yichuan City will be massacred." Of course, there is the name Hai Lanzhu behind it.
Shen Yongzhong smiled bitterly. This letter came at the right time. It was simply the straw that broke the camel's back. In this case, could there be a second option?
In just one sentence, there is an irresistible domineering attitude in the calmness. Hai Lanzhu wants to tell Shen Yongzhong clearly that Yichuan is now in his pocket, and he can fight as many as he wants. In Yanshui River, it may be difficult
It was a fierce battle, but in Yichuan, the Northern Shanxi Army had an overwhelming advantage and had the confidence to speak. After a period of tossing and the Battle of Yanshui River entered a dogfight, Wang Zuogao ordered an encirclement on all sides and surrounded the outside of Yichuan City.
The resistance forces were completely wiped out.
It can be said that the current surroundings of Yichuan are more stable than Yan'an City. Yichuan City has become a completely isolated city. When the letter was sent to the city, Wang Zuogao was not busy arranging the siege. If it was not a last resort, he would
They don't want to attack Yichuan City by force. Shen Yongzhong is a respectable opponent. With Shen Yongzhong in charge, attacking Yichuan will inevitably pay a heavy price. At present, Yan'an Prefecture has been basically captured, and Wang Ziyong in the Qingyang area has also admitted defeat.
, in this case, you have to pay a heavy price, which is not worth the gain.
Early the next morning, the army generals came to the temporary wooden house. The weather at the end of July was not only hot, but also rainy. Wang Zuogao didn't want Hai Lanzhu to live in a tent, so he had this wooden house built.
The Northern Army was very powerful near Yichuan City. When Hailanzhu arrived, everyone thought they were going to launch a fierce attack on Yichuan immediately. Who would have thought that two days later, Hailanzhu still looked calm and unhurried, with Li Jiucheng and Geng Zhongming the most
Anxiously, "Madam, brothers are well prepared, why haven't you ordered an attack yet. After our blockade for this period of time, the thieves in the city have been tortured to the point of death. If we don't attack now, what are we waiting for?"
Geng Zhongming was actually very impatient. After all, he could not help but feel jealous when he saw Zhou Dingshan being in the limelight. However, he did not act recklessly.
Li Jiucheng's tone was full of resentment and resentment. Hailanzhu frowned unhappily. He also put the hot porridge in his hand on the table. His eyes swept over the generals and finally stopped on Li Jiucheng. Feeling the power
Under the pressure, Li Jiucheng touched his neck with some guilt, "General Li, it's a good thing that you are eager to fight. But if you can take Yichuan City without any blood, why bother to attack by force? In two months, it will be autumn harvest again.
The season is the time to hire people. If the losses due to the attack on Yichuan City are too heavy and affect the governance of Yan'an Prefecture, will you bear the responsibility?"
"This" Li Jiuzheng has a reckless temperament, but he is not a fool. He also knows how important soldiers are. Hai Lanzhu's eyes were filled with sadness. Li Jiuzheng couldn't help but shudder. He did not dare to refute, so he could only ask in a low voice, "General
You can’t bear this responsibility, but Madam, Shen Yongzhong is famous for his bad temper. If he wants to take down Yichuan City without any blood, is that possible?"
"No matter how hard-tempered you are, today is different from the past. Since my wife and Mr. Wang have arranged it like this, they are sure to convince Shen Yongzhong." Hai Lanzhu glared at Li Jiucheng with an unkind expression, and stood up slowly, "I hope
You can hear clearly that in the past few days, no one is allowed to get closer than ten feet to the city wall without my wife's order. Anyone who disobeys the order will not be spared. The outer earth wall will be heightened, and more rockets will be purchased at night. There will be no difference in the city.
Projectile. The surrounding defense areas must also be strictly guarded and guarded without any slack. I will conduct random inspections of the defense areas from time to time. If anyone dares to neglect their duties, don't blame me for asking Mr. Wang to use military law."
Everyone in the room felt an inexplicable pressure. Hai Lanzhu's power was increasing day by day. She had always said she could do it. Everyone headed by Li Jiucheng quickly surrendered. After Li Jiucheng and others exited the wooden house, Liu Guoneng touched
Touching the cold sweat on his forehead, he sighed in a low voice, "What kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd, madam? Is that old guy Shen Yongzhong really going to surrender?"
"No matter what, now we just have to defend our respective defense areas. We don't have to think about the desire to storm the city recently." Li Jiucheng stroked his beard regretfully, with a look of disappointment on his face. He was very eager for military glory.
But what Madam said is not unreasonable. If you want to control the entire Yan'an Prefecture, the current military strength is still a bit small, so you can't afford to lose it.
A few people gathered together to complain for a while, and then returned to the defense zone. It was not long before the earthen wall outside the city, which had been idle for some days, started to be busy again. The young Slavs were carrying shovels, and the baskets were humming and drying.
Come to life. The earthen wall is several feet high and stretches like a mountain of earth, surrounding Yichuan City. The top of the earthen mountain is even higher than the city wall of Yichuan, and now it needs to be even higher, making the thieves in the city full of faces.
Grudge. Although the Northern Jin Army did not launch a siege during this period, the rebels in the city were not easy to bear. They were often greeted by catapults on the mountains, and the security situation in the city was also worrying.
Niu Er was originally from Yichuan. When the officers and soldiers arrived at Yan'an Prefecture, he was promoted to a young man and became an ordinary spearman. Looking at the busy situation outside the city, the mountains of dirt were piled higher and higher.
, which means that the opponent's projectile advantage is becoming more and more obvious. Niu Erben leaned on the battlement and stuck his head out, with a look on his face, "Boss, what are the officers and soldiers going to do? Are they going to torture us to death?"
"
The team leader next to him had blurry eyes and dirty cheeks. He was leaning against the city wall. He looked very wilted and weak. He really didn't look like the material to be the team leader. In fact, the team leader was also a vigorous man, but he was cheerful.
His pride had long been smoothed away by the ruthless reality. Hearing Niu Erben's question, he didn't even raise his head, "They must torture us, otherwise why would we raise the earth wall?" I passed by on the street last night
, I accidentally overheard the conversation between Chief Wang and the others, saying that the wife of the iron governor was also here. Now that the officers and soldiers are doing this again, there will probably be a big move. Pity us people, the next days will not be easy, can we save a little
My life is considered blessed by God.”
Throughout the day, although the rebel soldiers were on full alert and vigilant, the Northern Shanxi Army did nothing else except raise the earthen wall. Both sides lived in peace and harmony. At night, it was still peaceful. However, as soon as Haishi arrived, the situation suddenly changed.
, the trebuchets on the surrounding mountains all fired up, and countless rockets, stones, and kerosene were thrown into the city.
For a moment, Yichuan City was like a huge firework, with firework everywhere. Many peasant army soldiers were confused by this sudden change. Although the officers and soldiers often used the earth wall to harass them before, they had never been like today, with everyone showing off their power.
, rockets rained down, accompanied by rocks, and even wood were projected in. Many places had become a sea of fire, and many houses were smashed out of holes. Fires were everywhere, and wailing sounds filled the city. The rain of arrows did not stop, and countless
People were holding their heads and rats were running around, and the entire Yichuan City seemed like the end of the world was coming.
The city was in chaos, and Niu Erben also escaped from the city. Now the defense area he was stationed in had turned into a sea of fire. More than half of the entire team was damaged, and even the amiable team leader died under the rocks. Niu Erben
There was no color on his face, and he had lost the courage to continue fighting. In front of the officers and soldiers, Yichuan City was like a toy, and the people in the city were just other people's playthings.
It was clear that Yichuan City could be captured, but the officers and soldiers refused to attack. This was simply an inhuman suffering. Panic spread throughout the city. In this sense of loss, some wealthy businessmen in the city had begun to have other ideas. How many people were willing to do so?
It's simply not worth it to accompany Yichuan City to destruction.
Inside the yamen, the gray castle was shrouded in the night. Shen Yongzhong stood on the top of the castle blankly, watching the fire in the city with an expressionless face, and the bursts of screams hurt his heart. At this moment, he found that all his persistence,
They all looked pale and powerless in front of the methods of the officers and soldiers. This was the gap in strength, and there was no room for resistance. After this night, I don’t know what Yichuan City will look like. After this storm-like blow, what will happen to the soldiers and civilians in the city?
