Because Gao Cheng had already led his troops to garrison at Jianmen Pass, the governor of Chengdu, Zeng Shuhong, was temporarily in charge.
Most of the Shu army's troops were deployed near Jianmen Pass and Jiameng Pass. In Chengdu Prefecture, only nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses were left to maintain public security in Chengdu Prefecture.
Jia Yun led a large number of soldiers and horses to advance towards Chengdu Prefecture, preparing to attack Chengdu Prefecture in one go.
At this moment, the gates of Chengdu Fucheng were wide open, and merchants and merchants were coming and going, transporting goods to the Fucheng. They had no idea that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court had already arrived before their eyes, and were preparing to attack the city in a large scale.
Because Chengdu Fucheng is still some distance away from Jiameng Pass where the battle took place on the front line, the people in Chengdu Fucheng could not feel the tense atmosphere of the war spreading on the front line.
At this moment, Jia Yun's 5,000-strong army marched day and night, heading straight for the capital city of Chengdu. At this moment, Jia Yun found the clothes of the Shu army at Jiangyou Pass, disguised himself as a Shu army, and marched to the capital city of Chengdu in a mighty manner.
Because after the uprising, Gao Cheng changed the colors of his uniforms and flags to be inconsistent with those of the imperial court in order to make it easier to distinguish them when fighting with the imperial troops on the battlefield.
Jia Yun was riding on a maroon horse, her heart was filled with excitement, and the faces of the generals accompanying her showed signs of dust.
Jia Yun asked: "How long does it take to reach the front?"
After entering Chengdu Prefecture, the originally steep and steep terrain became smoother.
The deputy general answered from the side and said: "General Jia, we are still ten miles away from Fucheng."
Jia Yun said in a deep voice: "Speed up the march and be careful not to let the Shu army react and close the city gate."
The key to such a long-distance attack is to be unexpected. Once the Shu army discovers it, it will lose its surprise and become a battle of offense and defense, and the Chengdu Prefecture will not be able to take it.
After hearing this, the deputy general nodded and urged the soldiers to speed up their march.
If you look at history, more than a thousand years ago, Deng Ai led his army to sneak across the Yinping Road to Chengdu Fucheng. Liu Chan, the queen of the Shu Han Dynasty, opened the city gate and surrendered to the Wei army.
In today's Chen and Han Dynasty, Jia Yun sent troops directly to the capital of Chengdu to quell the rebels. This seems to be a recurrence in history.
In the Chengdu government office, Sichuan Governor Zeng Shuhong sat behind a black lacquered wooden table, unaware of the imminent danger.
His majestic and resolute face clearly showed a hint of haggard, and he was clearly worried about the Shu army's war.
During this period, Zeng Shuhong was sitting in the rear. In addition to transporting grain and fodder for the army, he also had to worry about calming down the turbulent undercurrents in the recent Chengdu capital. It can be said that he was exhausted mentally and physically.
After Zhen Qing listened to Jia Heng's plan and issued an order to recruit officials and generals from Bashu who had rebelled against the Gao family, the atmosphere in Chengdu's capital became weird in the past half month.
If Gao Cheng and others had not held off the imperial troops at Jiameng Pass for a month and showed their ability to withstand the imperial court, I am afraid that some officials and soldiers in Bashu would have driven away the Gao family in response to the imperial court.
"Master Tai, this is the military order delivered from Jianmen Pass." A tall young official entered the government office and said in a deep voice to Zeng Shuhong.
Zeng Shuhong nodded, took the military order from the little official, lowered his eyes, read it, and said: "Instruct all the prefectures and counties to raise 500,000 stones of grain and fodder, recruit 10,000 men, and transport them to Jianmen.
close."
The clerk responded, then turned and left.
Zeng Shuhong picked up the tea cup, with a somewhat sad expression on his face.
During this period of time, grain and fodder were collected and Dingfu was recruited. The Sichuan people were already resentful.
At this moment, a young official came from outside with a hurried look and said warmly: "Master Zitai, a Shu army has come from the direction of Jianmen Pass."
Zeng Shuhong frowned and asked in surprise: "Jianmen Pass? When did the Shu army come from the direction of Jianmen Pass?"
Because previously, Chengdu Prefecture rushed to the direction of Jianmen Pass for reinforcements, so Zeng Shuhong thought that the Shu army at Jianmen Pass had received military orders from Gao Cheng and came to Chengdu Prefecture to escort the grain, but he did not receive the military order.
Just when Zeng Shuhong was confused, a dark-faced general wearing black armor ran in a panic from outside, his face covered with blood, and said: "The platform is not in good condition, the court's
Soldiers and horses are entering the city!"
As soon as these words came out, Zeng Shuhong's majestic and resolute face suddenly showed a look of panic, and he said loudly: "What on earth is going on?"
The general who reported the report said urgently: "The imperial soldiers and horses were flying our army's flag. General Xiao, who was guarding the city, did not notice it and let the imperial soldiers and horses enter the city."
Zeng Shuhong couldn't help but feel anxious, and said: "How can we let the imperial soldiers and horses enter the city? Come here, mobilize the guards of the Governor's Mansion and drive the imperial soldiers and horses out!"
Then, the generals from the government office of the Governor's Mansion, armed with weapons in hand, organized the three thousand guards of the Governor's Mansion to head outside to meet the battle.
At this moment, on the streets of Chengdu Fucheng, among the rows of houses on both sides, each shop was tightly closed, obviously frightened by the aura of weapons outside.
On the street, the sound of horse hooves was loud and the shouts of killing were loud and resounded throughout the sky.
Jia Yun led a large number of sergeants and rushed into Chengdu Fucheng. Along the well-connected and spacious streets, they charged towards the Shu army's troops and horses.
The people of Chengdu's capital city had been in peace for a long time and had never encountered war. At this moment, when they saw the wolves and tigers of the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp, they were so frightened that they fled in all directions.
Jia Yun led the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp to charge towards the Shu army. Along the way, the elite soldiers of the Beijing camp fought back and forth along the city wall with the Shu army guarding the city.
Not long after, the elite soldiers from the Beijing camp firmly occupied the gates of Guancheng, while Jia Yun led the soldiers and killed in the direction of the Governor's Mansion, intending to capture the thieves, capture the king, and control the Governor's Yamen.
At this moment, Zeng Shuhong sent troops to mobilize the guards of the Governor's Mansion, and hurriedly rushed towards the Beijing troops and horses rushing into the city. When the two sides suddenly met on the street of Fengming Street, they fought hand to hand.
"Dangdang..."
The sound of swords clashing could be heard endlessly, and along with the soldiers' shouts and grunts, the two torrents collided and started fighting.
The soldiers and horses of the imperial camp in the capital rushed towards the Shu army. The Shu army neglected their battle formations and naturally fell at a disadvantage in the head-on confrontation. Under the offensive of the soldiers and horses in the capital camp, a large number of Shu army generals were defeated one after another and were gradually forced to the positions around the governor's office.
Fengming Street and Sanquan Street.
To sum up in one sentence, the Shu army is weak in combat and has little power to fight back!
"Master Tai, I can't stand it anymore." At this moment, a red-faced general saw that the Shu army was losing steadily, and said to Zeng Shuhong from the side.
Because the Chengdu government had no idea how many soldiers and horses were coming from the Beijing camp, and suddenly saw the imperial troops and horses "falling from the sky", they thought that the Beijing camp was attacking Chengdu in a big way, so it was a huge chaos.
A large number of Shu army generals had no fighting spirit and just kept retreating towards Guancheng, which undoubtedly disrupted the army's front line.
Jia Yun was riding on a horse at the moment, holding the Yan Fei Dao in her hand tightly, and in a cloud of blood mist, she slashed a resisting Shu army with the knife, and then approached the Governor's Yamen.
Zeng Shuhong was already anxious in the yamen, with sweat dripping from his forehead like soybeans, and a look of fear on his face.
"Block it, don't let the Han army rush in." Zeng Shuhong said urgently.
"Sir, the Han army is so fierce that it cannot be stopped." The general of the Governor's Mansion said from the side.
Zeng Shuhong sat slumped in the lobby, his face turned earth-colored, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
The city of Chengdu is in ruins...
How does he explain to the eldest son?
Once Chengdu's capital city is captured, it means that the route of retreat will be cut off, food and baggage will not be transported, and the morale of the frontline army will inevitably fluctuate, which may lead to another defeat.
If we add in the recent decree issued by the imperial court to persuade the officials and soldiers of Bashu to surrender...
Zeng Shuhong felt a thick haze enveloped his heart.
The middle-aged general with a purple face said: "Master Tai Tai, you cannot stay in Fucheng for a long time. I will escort you out of Chengdu Fucheng."
Hearing this, Zeng Shuhong seemed to have come to his senses and said firmly: "I was entrusted by the Gao family to guard the city of Chengdu. Now that I have been cut off by the Han army in Beijing, how can I still have the dignity to escape from the city?"
The governor of Sichuan eats royal food and works as an official in the imperial court, but at this moment he refers to the Gao family, which is really puzzling.
Upon hearing this, the principal's face suddenly turned pale. He looked at Zeng Shuhong in surprise and said, "Master Taipei, if you keep the green hills here, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood."
A look of indifference appeared on Zeng Shuhong's face, and he said decisively: "You go through the back door and run for your lives."
At this moment, Zeng Shuhong had already begun to decide whether to live or die together with the city of Chengdu.
As Zeng Shuhong spoke, his face was as pale as paper and he didn't say much. He left the hall with heavy steps and headed towards the back office.
After a while, a general quickly walked out of the back office and said to the Shu army general who was returning from a bloody battle outside: "Master Tai Tai committed suicide."
The generals were greatly frightened.
The Taiwanese producers committed suicide, the situation is over!
"Dangdang..."
The sound of swords clashing was heard, from far to near, incomparably chaotic, accompanied by hoarse shouts of killing, a large number of Han troops from the Beijing camp, armed with weapons, poured into the Governor's Yamen.
Then, because Zeng Shuhong was dead, the Shu army was leaderless, and they all asked the imperial troops to surrender.
In the evening, when dusk fell and the lanterns began to turn on, you could hear the shouts of killing from everywhere gradually subsided.
While Jia Yun was speaking, she quickly came to the hall of the governor's office. Her heart was still filled with excitement. After her contribution this time, she should be able to be awarded a fifth-class knighthood.
He, Jia Yun, also has today!
Among the young generals of the Jia family, Jia Fang has the highest official rank, followed by Jia Chang and Jia Ling. Jia Yun was actually a neither plague nor fire before, but after the battle of Chengdu Prefecture in Sichuan, she will probably be on par with Jia Fang.
Jia Yun's handsome face was covered with blood, and she asked: "Where is Zeng Shuhong?"
"Reporting to General Jia, Zeng Shuhong saw that the situation was over and had already committed suicide." At this moment, a general said.
Jia Yun snorted coldly and said: "They were ordered by the imperial court to oversee Sichuan and govern the people, but they rebelled against the Gao family, acted as collaborators, and fought against the imperial court. It is really not a pity to die!"
"Here, cut off his head, put it in a wooden box, and deliver it to the capital when I go to the court!" Jia Yun immediately said in a deep voice.
A young general stepped forward quickly, with a solemn look on his face, and clasped his fists in agreement.
Jia Yun raised her eyebrows, glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "The armies guarded the gate of the city to prevent the Shu army from returning from the pass. They found the Jinyi Mansion detective in Chengdu Mansion and sent a letter to the Duke of Liao with flying pigeons.
, just say that Chengdu Prefecture has been sent."
When the soldiers heard this, they should clasp their fists.
Jia Yun then ordered his soldiers to take over the city, count the grain in the treasury, and at the same time post a notice to calm the people in the city of Chengdu.
After finishing this, Jia Yun looked at the deputy general Xiang Tai and said: "Xiang Guerrilla sent people to look for the spies of Jinyi Mansion. In addition, he had people strictly guard the city gate and gather the Shu army generals. Those who originally surrendered to the imperial court came to the Governor's Yamen.
I will lecture you."
Xiang Tai raised his hand and said yes.
After Jia Yun gave these instructions, she sat down behind the case, with a look of thought in her eyes.
Through the Jinyi Mansion's detectives who stayed in Chengdu Fucheng, we contacted some soldiers, generals and officials who were originally loyal to the imperial court to help calm the situation.
Otherwise, with the five thousand soldiers and horses he brought alone, without recruiting Shu generals and Shu soldiers to surrender and accept rebellion, it would be impossible to complete the front and rear attack on the Shu army at Jianmen Pass.
In the first year of Jianxing of the Han Dynasty, on the third day of September, the Han army in the capital captured the city of Chengdu. At this point, the home base of the Sanchen Rebellion in central Sichuan was overthrown, and the war that had been stalemate for a long time finally ushered in a turning point.
…
…
Just when Jia Yun led his troops to attack Chengdu Fucheng, Gao Cheng, who was at Jianmen Pass, knew nothing about it. He was mobilizing his troops to reinforce the pass and set up defense facilities to defend the city, intending to destroy Jianmen Pass.
Guan served as a barrier to the feud with the imperial court.
Gao Cheng is now wearing a black cloak and a maroon mountain armor underneath. He holds the sword on his waist and stands on the top of the city. After entering September, the hot weather that was originally like a furnace gradually returned to normal, and the green mountains in the distance were gloomy.
, the greenery is eye-catching, and the cool breeze blows on your face, making you feel refreshed.
Gao Yong came closer and said worriedly: "Brother, do you think we can stop the Han army's offensive?"
As the war dragged on, Gao Yong was no longer as confident as before and began to worry about the dim future.
Gao Cheng's face was like Xuanshui's, his eyes were distant, and he said: "If you can't block it, we will block it too!"
Gao Cheng said in a deep voice: "My father worked hard for the Han Dynasty and supervised Sichuan for more than ten years, but he killed Jia Heng's son. This is unforgivable!"
Gao Yong said in a deep voice: "Brother, the hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable!"
Gao Cheng's eyes were cold and he spoke fiercely: "In this battle, even if my entire Gao family is wiped out, I still have to seek justice for my father!"
Gao Yong's expression paused slightly, and he stared at Gao Cheng, and said: "Brother, for the sake of the continuation of my Gao family, it's better to send someone to resettle Sheng'er in the southwest. Even if everything fails in the end, he can still keep his incense in the future.
Endless."
Gao Cheng's face straightened and he said in a deep voice: "If our army is defeated, then even if the whole family is martyred in the king's affairs, what's the point?"
Gao Yong said: "Brother, my Gao family will always leave some bones and blood."
Gao Cheng was silent for a moment, his eyes dimmed, nodded, and said: "If the city is destroyed, you take your nephew and flee to Tibet."
Gao Yong heard this and said in a deep voice: "Brother, I will fight to the death with that Jia Heng son and we will never give in!"
At this moment, figures with tattered flags and armor suddenly appeared in front of Guancheng. Seeing their military appearance in chaos, Gao Cheng couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart.
Gao Cheng's eyes froze for a moment, he looked at the flag, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked: "Where are these soldiers and horses?"
"They are soldiers and horses from Jiameng Pass." At this moment, Gao Yong's eyesight was very good and he said.
At this moment, Chen Yuan, King of Wei Chen Ran, King of Liang Chen Wei, and Gao Bo led two to three thousand soldiers and horses and rushed to the city in a panic.
When Jiameng Pass was defeated, the four of them made a decisive decision and led their personal guards to abandon the city and fled along the Jinniu Road towards Jianmen Pass.
However, the entire city of Guancheng was under attack by the imperial troops and horses, and the Shu army fled in all directions, running wildly towards the Golden Bull Road.
When Gao Cheng saw this scene, his expression paused slightly, his heart tightened, and he asked loudly: "Why are you so embarrassed?"
Previously, Gao Cheng had sent his personal guards to inform Chen Yuan and others, asking them to withdraw their troops quickly. However, this was obviously not an orderly withdrawal, but an unorganized rout.
Gao Cheng looked extremely indifferent and said in a deep voice: "Inform the guards and let the army camp three miles outside the city. The general will come to talk!"
"Brother, why don't you open the city gate to welcome our army into the city?" Gao Yong asked doubtfully.
Gao Cheng turned to look at Gao Yong and explained: "First verify the identity of the soldiers and horses, and be careful of fraud."
After a while, the scout was thrown down from the city with a rope. After a while, he left and returned, saying: "Dushuai, he is the second son of Gao, the defeated army of Jiameng Pass."
Gao Cheng shook his head, shouted, and ordered: "Come here, open the city gate!"
Gao Yong responded quickly, and then without saying anything else, he ordered the generals and soldiers on the side to open the city gate.
At this moment, Chen Yuan, Chen Ran, Chen Wei, Gao Bo and others led the soldiers who abandoned their helmets and armor and swarmed into Guancheng.
Gao Cheng and Gao Yong went up together, looked at Chen Yuan, Chen Ran and others, and asked: "King Zhao, King Wei, what is going on?"
Chen Yuan looked a little embarrassed on his face and said: "Brother Gao, the imperial troops used explosives to blow up Guancheng. After many bombings, Guancheng can no longer be defended."
Gao Bo also shook his head and said: "Brother, the imperial soldiers and horses suddenly launched an attack on the city. The city was blown up and collapsed. A large number of imperial soldiers and horses entered the city. Our army really cannot resist it."
After hearing this, Gao Cheng's resolute and calm face showed a hint of worry, and he asked: "Where are the soldiers and horses of the imperial court now?"
"The cavalry chased them all the way. They did not stop on the road and broke off the troops before they got rid of the imperial soldiers and horses. It didn't take long for the imperial soldiers and horses to catch up." Chen Yuan said loudly.
Gao Cheng's expression changed, he was startled, and asked again: "How many troops did you bring back from this battle?"
A look of dejection appeared on Gao Bo's face, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother, we only have three thousand soldiers and horses, and they are all damaged on the road. The soldiers and horses of the imperial court are chasing us all the way, and we can't resist them at all."
Gao Cheng was silent for a moment, with a look of solemnity in his eyes, and said: "First defend Jianmen Pass to resist the incoming troops from the Beijing camp."
Although all the troops and horses eventually withdrew from Jiameng Pass, they did so in such a state that the remaining soldiers returned from defeat.
However, as long as they resist the Han army for one more step, it should be almost time to counterattack.
Then, Gao Cheng greeted Chen Yuan, Chen Ran and others into Guancheng, and sat down on the pear wood chairs in the government hall.
A large number of Shu troops entered Guancheng in a puff of smoke and dust. Their flags covered the sky and the sun, and their armor was extremely bright.
Gao Cheng sat behind a lacquered wooden table and said in a deep voice: "Third brother, in the past few days, soldiers have been patrolling the city to guard against the infiltration of spies."
As Jiameng Pass and Bazhong were lost one after another, Gao Cheng was also worried that there would be some generals with wandering thoughts and acted as internal agents for the imperial court.
Gao Yong said: "Brother, don't worry, I'm on guard against this."
Afterwards, Gao Cheng helped Chen Yuan and others to cleanse themselves from the dust.
…
…
Northwest, Hamiwei
Jin Xuan stayed behind at the Hami Acropolis, while Pang Shili, the commander-in-chief of Xining, mobilized the Xining cavalry to rush to the aid of the Qu Xianwei. During this half-month period, Pang Shili's Xining cavalry and the Junggar cavalry were engaged in constant fighting.
The two sides fought quickly, with their troops penetrating back and forth and fighting. It can be said that each other suffered losses, but neither took a big advantage.
On this day, Pang Shili led the cavalry troops and led the army to approach Qu Xianwei.
At this moment, under the boundless blue sky, with yellow sand rolling in and the scorching sun scorching, Pang Shili was riding on a maroon horse with a rich mane. Sweat rolled down his rough and resolute face, and under his two thick dark green eyebrows
, there is a hint of determination in the majestic tiger eyes.
"Commander, the Junggar troops have retreated to the Acropolis again." At this moment, a young general with a resolute face said from the side.
Pang Shili raised his thick eyebrows and said: "The Junggar tribe is not good at defending the city. After approaching the city, our troops quickly attacked the city."
The young general responded and said nothing else.
Within Quxian Guard City, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from the Junggar tribe were left behind to guard the baggage and military supplies.
At this moment, the Junggar general above the city suddenly showed a dignified look on his rough and chapped face, saying: "Inform the Khan that the Han army is coming."
Immediately, a personal guard could be seen coming quickly, responded, and then walked quickly towards the Acropolis Guanya in the city.
Baturhui sat behind a square lacquered wood table and was dozing off with squinted eyes.
The Khan who once dominated the grasslands was getting older. As he got older, he began to feel sleepy.
"Khan, the Han army has attacked the city." A guard general entered the city and said.
Baturhui's drooped eyelids moved, and his tiger eyes, densely covered with evil light, seemed to be hiding an evil aura, glaring at him.
Compared with the timidity of the Jiangyou Pass guard, Baturhui was much calmer at this moment. His tiger eyes seemed to burst out with ferocious light, and he said in a cold voice: "Let the troops guard the city. Come and follow."
Ben Khan came to the city to watch the battle."
As he spoke, Baturhui narrowed his eyes again, as if he was closing his eyes to rest.
Although the soldiers and horses of the Junggar tribe are not good at defending the city, they are not something that the Han army can manipulate at will.
Then, Baturhui, accompanied by several personal guards, came to the Fuwei city and looked at the soldiers and horses lining up outside the city to attack.
The Han army's military appearance was in good order, and the sabers raised by a large number of cavalry soldiers shone with white light under the summer sun, which seemed to reflect people's eyes.
At this moment, Pang Shili, the general of the Beijing camp, was holding a Yanyue sword that was often six or seven feet long, and led the troops of the Beijing camp behind him to attack Qu Xianwei.
"kill……"
Suddenly, the shouts of killing shook the sky; at this moment, the sound shook the sky.
The Han army carried wooden ladders and attacked the city wall. After a while, black arrows were shot at the soldiers on the wall.
"Puff..." Along with the sound of arrows piercing flesh, a cloud of blood mist could be seen exploding, and many soldiers of the Junggar tribe fell in a pool of blood at this moment.
Baturhui's face was as solemn as iron, and he said to the soldiers on his left and right with a worried tone: "The Han army's ability to shoot bows and arrows is not inferior to that of our army."
At this moment, Pang Shili and the soldiers launched a tentative attack on the Junggar soldiers on the city wall.
The soldiers and horses of the Junggar tribe were not good at defending the city. At this moment, they were overwhelmed and exhausted.
