Yuan Li's reputation for bravery is known all over the world, and he is naturally good at archery. The big bow weighing one stone and five stones is held in his hand like a feather.
I just heard a "boom, boom, bang, tie, tie", and in the blink of an eye, there were dozens of arrows. The arrows were like a volley of arrows. When I saw that seven or eight soldiers at the top of the city were shot down, the rebels below the city suddenly cheered.
She felt her arms were sore and weak, and the bow string was as heavy as a thousand stones. Yuan Li stopped her hand and shouted in a cold voice: "Don't stop, just shoot like this..."
The bowman agreed with a bang and used all his strength.
The defenders on the city were confused: when the rebels shouted "King Jiyin", there was no doubt that the one who shot the arrow just now was Yuan Li, but the strange thing was that the dozens of arrows he shot at the top of the city were all pointed at the tip of the arrow. There is no edge at all?
Don't look at the fact that one soldier fell to the ground with every arrow, but that was because Yuan Li was so powerful that he was knocked down. All the soldiers who were hit by the arrow were unharmed.
What's more, there is a silk letter attached to each arrow. The content is generally the same, but it is actually a letter of surrender from Yuan Li?
How could the guard dare to neglect himself? He hurriedly ordered his confidants to put away their arrow shafts and send them to the county government...
……
Outside the city, it was like a raging fire cooking oil, and the sound of killing was loud, but inside the government hall was silent and empty.
There is only a small county town, but it has nearly 40,000 soldiers. They are divided into four walls, with nearly 10,000 soldiers on each side. Moreover, Yuan Zhao, Yuan Zhen, Yuan Gui, Xue He are all good generals, but they only take over On the first day of the battle, it was not the turn of the governor and Sima to go to the city wall in person to supervise the battle.
Li Shao wore a flat crown and a long gown, leaning on a low couch, frowning and looking at a picture of Guanzhong Yu.
Seeing the unwillingness on his face, Yang Jun sighed: "Now that the situation is getting better and victory is in sight, why do you have to look so sad?
If Cheng Zhi had not enumerated the famous generals of our dynasty, such as Yuan Ying, Yuan Jia, Li Chong, Li Ping, Xi Kangsheng, Yang Dayan, Xing Luan, Cui Yanbo, etc., no matter who led the army, how could he dare to say that he could win with nearly two men in his hand? The Changyi of a hundred thousand troops?"
"Jisun, ask yourself, this battle is a victory, isn't it a tragic victory?"
Li Shao pointed his finger heavily at the picture, "One general's success will lead to the death of thousands of bones, but pity the millions of people in Guanzhong..."
Yang Jun moved his lips, but was speechless in the end.
Tens of thousands of troops were mobilized, and the movement was so huge that it could not be concealed from Li Shao and Yang Jun who were close at hand.
Therefore, when they withdrew their troops and entered the city last night, they knew that Chang Yizhi had decisively divided his troops and sent a partial division to the east.
As for what they are going for, any fool can guess it.
But Li Shao had no choice but to watch the huge Guanzhong being looted by enemy thieves...
Yang Jun thought for a while and then sighed: "You and I expected this, but now that we don't have enough troops, we can only take advantage of the trend and avoid its front for the time being...otherwise, what else can we do?"
Although he is not a famous general, he can be regarded as a good soldier. He knows that the more war there is, the less effective his tactics will be.
Just like now, in Qizhou alone, the number of troops participating in the battle on both sides is nearly 200,000. Whenever troops are mobilized, the number can easily reach tens of thousands. Even the light cavalry for patrol and exploration are dispatched on a battalion basis. p>
With such a scale, the more skilled a general is, the more cautious he will be. As for the so-called "surprise troops" and "ambushes", it is unthinkable. Because sending less troops is like beating a dog with meat buns. But with slightly more troops
, but the whereabouts cannot be hidden, it has nothing to do with the word "odd", and it is simply not a faction.
Didn’t you see that even Li Chengzhi, who has always been a risk-taker, this time he acted honestly, followed the rules, and followed the steps?
There are only so many methods that can be used, so both enemies can roughly guess the other's next move.
Just like after the fall of Qingshui, Yu Zhong, Yuan Li, and Fu Luo all expected that Li Chengzhi would rush towards Li Shao. And Li Shao, Yang Jun, and Li Chengzhi all expected that Changyi would suddenly rush to attack the west.
Camp.
It is even more expected that if he does not make achievements, Changyi will definitely divide his troops and attack other counties, so that Chengzhi will focus on one and miss the other...
This is a conspiracy, it just depends on who has stronger organizational skills and the resilience of his soldiers.
For the time being, it seems that Li Chengzhi has the upper hand...
Just as he was secretly sighing, there was a noise outside the hall. Yang Jun raised his eyes and saw Yuan Zhao running in with a happy face.
"Captain, Sima... I'm very happy..."
Yuan Zhao shouted wildly and placed several silk books in the case.
It seemed that the handwriting was all written by the same person, and the content was generally the same. Yang Jun glanced at it quickly and said, "I know that my sins are serious, so I want to abandon the secret and turn to the light... If Uncle Zang is interested, he can raise a flag to Xicheng as a letter... I should spy on you."
If I get a good opportunity, I will turn against you in front of the battle... Yuan Li pays my respects!"
Yuanli?
Yang Jun's face changed wildly: "This thief is notorious and dishonest. Isn't he trying to trick me into opening the door and leaving the city?"
Li Shao's pupils were as narrow as the eyes of needles, and his eyes were like arrows as he stared at several letters of surrender: "If there is a rebellion, Yuan Li should coax us to work together tonight..."
Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: At this time, both the enemy and us know that if they want to break the city, they can only do it tonight. Just because Li Chengzhi is slow, he will arrive tomorrow morning. Therefore, if he wants to trick us into leaving the city, he can only do it tonight...
…
He took another breath of cold air, pointed to the silk scarf and said: "In this case, what is written in this letter should be true: yesterday night, Changyi sent Lan Ziyun to lead 30,000 infantry and to bury Luo's 5,000.
Qingqi, go straight to Fufeng, the two counties of Qishan...
And at the latest tonight, Chengzhi will arrive as promised. If Ganyin is still not conquered by then, Chang Yizhi will retreat to the south bank, or even to Chencang?"
"If I were Chang Yi, I should do the same!"
Li Shao pondered, "But Yuan Li is inconsistent and difficult to trust. It's hard to guarantee that Chang Yizhi has seen through her mind and is playing hard to get, so it can't be fully trusted...
And as you just said: Now that the situation of our army is getting better, we only need to wait for Chengzhi to come to our aid, and together we can resolve the crisis in the city. So we only need to follow the steps..."
Yuan Zhao was full of joy. He wanted to ask for orders to leave the city and join forces with Yuan Li to defeat Chang Yizhi and accomplish a great feat. But his joy was all in vain?
He was so disappointed that he said anxiously: "Uncle Zang, are you just going to watch this opportunity pass by?"
You thought it was a good opportunity, but how did you know it wasn't a trap?
Li Shao raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Zhao, and his tone was a little stern: "What should Yuan Zuocheng mean?"
Seeing the fierce light in Li Shao's eyes, Yuan Zhao's heart tightened. He wanted to ask for orders to cooperate with Yuan Li inside and outside, but he turned a corner: "It is best to just follow the steps and wait for Duke Li to come to help.
But the general believes that no matter whether Yuan Li surrenders for real or fake, there should be a response. What if he really surrenders and strikes back when the enemy and we are in a stalemate, wouldn't it be a timely help?"
"Okay, just follow Yuan Zuocheng...Li Fu!"
"The end is here!"
"According to what is said in this letter: take my flag and patrol the west city, repeat it three times!"
"No!"
Li Shao had given the order, and even though Yuan Zhao was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to obey as a general.
He pretended to quit and followed Li Shao's personal soldiers out of the government hall.
Looking at Yuan Zhao's back, Yang Jun said suspiciously: "This Yuan Zhao relies on his cousin Yuan Hui. He has always been arrogant and behaves frivolously. He won't make his own decisions and leave the city without permission, right?"
Li Shaofeng lightly shook his head: "Don't worry, he doesn't dare!"
As the saying goes, every emperor has his own ministers, and today is no exception.
In the end, during the Yuan Ke Dynasty, Yuan Hui was favored by the emperor. Even when he was in charge of the prefectures and counties, he still secretly held the post of "embroidered clothes and pointed directly at the secret guard (leader of the secret guards)", including the tiger talisman and the secret talisman.
The right to recruit troops from several states.
Under the influence of love and affection, Yuan Zhao also followed the rising trend and was deeply trusted by Yuan Ke. Before the assassination of the late emperor, Yuan Zhao was Zuo Cheng, the minister, Beixian Xingtai (imperial envoy), secretly appointed Xiu Yi Cheng, and patrolled six towns in the province. It can be said that
High position and authority.
It is said that when one is determined, one becomes arrogant, and Yuan Zhao was like this, hence his reputation as "arrogant and frivolous".
However, due to the assassination of the late emperor, Yuan Hui failed to save him, and now he is in danger. In order to stabilize the situation, the Queen Mother did not liquidate the officials, but demoted them as punishment.
Even Yuan Hui himself knows it well and is acting extremely low-key now, let alone Yuan Zhao?
But if he dares to disobey orders, Li Shao can kill him on the spot without Li Chengzhi taking action...
"The post of Yuan Zhao Xiu Yi Cheng has not been removed, so there is a high probability that he has a secret order to join the army this time. It will not be the case below, but he must have the right to hear the secret report... I am looking forward to this
The dog thief lost his mind for a moment, so he might as well take the opportunity to save Chengzhi from some trouble..."
"Don't be troublesome!"
Li Shao scolded in a cold voice, "Chengzhi even dares to appear in the world with divine objects such as Tianlei, so why should he be afraid of some rumors? Furthermore, you are considered to be Gao Sikong, and the King of Guangyang is just a decoration?"
That’s true!
Among the eight assistants, Chengzhi is the second closest relative, and the others include Liu Fang, Cui Guang and other people who have close personal relationships. Naturally, they will not let bad words hurt him.
Yang Jun nodded and asked: "What about now, should we take advantage of the enemy's lack of siege to go down to the city with confidants to report to Yu Chengzhi that Yuan Li is about to surrender?"
Li Shao said decisively: "We only have one day left. It won't be too late to report when Chengzhi's troops arrive at the city, so as not to be taken advantage of by the enemy..."
If Yuan Li surrendered sincerely, then what was said in the letter would be true: as of last night, Chengzhi and Diao Zheng had entered Anrong Pass. If nothing unexpected happens, they would arrive tonight at the latest.
So there is no need!
After thinking about this, Li Shao suddenly became more confident: "Left and right, give me armor... Ji Sun, would you like to go to the city with me to watch the battle?"
It's so boring to stay in the yamen. Listening to the shouts of killing outside the city, Yang Jun has long since stopped thinking about his subordinates.
He couldn't wait to respond: "Then hurry up..."
……
Chang Yizhi could no longer think of sending troops to stop or contain Li Chengzhi.
If there are too few factions, like Cheng Jingjun, he will be defeated in an instant, just like beating a dog with a meat bun.
If there are too many troops, it will be a multi-front battle. Moreover, Li Chengzhi is as brave as a tiger, powerful as a bamboo, and can win consecutive battles. Even if Changyi has many soldiers, they cannot withstand the consumption of tens of thousands.
Therefore, Li Chengzhi marched very fast. He set up camp at Mao hour and by noon, he had traveled more than seventy miles. Now he is less than eighty miles away from Qianyin.
The originally planned plan to divide the troops was disrupted by Cheng Jingjun. Furthermore, after receiving the news that Li Shao had withdrawn his troops and entered the city overnight, and that Chang Yizhi had divided his troops to attack the counties in the pass, Li Chengzhi woke up early.
Half a day, half a day later makes no difference.
No matter how you calculate it, Chang Yizhi still has nearly 70,000 to 80,000 troops in his hands, so he definitely doesn't dare to divide his troops to attack Lan Ziyun, so he can only think of ways to make Chang Yizhi retreat as soon as possible. p>
The ceremonial carriage of the four chariots is extremely spacious. In the past, when marching, Li Shixian would ride with him. Or Li Song and Li Liang would be waiting in the chariot.
But today there is only Li Chengzhi, and Li Shixian is not allowed in.
I watched one after another Nan Jiang being escorted into the car, and then taken out within a moment or two. From time to time, I would hear sounds of beatings or screams coming from inside the car.<
/p>
It looks like he is interrogating, but I don’t know why Lang Jun is so sneaky and wants to do it himself?
What’s more, it seems that even Li Shixian must be on guard?
All the retainers were confused and suspicious. But Li Shixian's face glowed red, and he occasionally let out a silly laugh, as if he had encountered a huge happy event.
Li Song hesitated for a while, and bravely came forward: "Master, Langjun is interrogating the enemy and the thief alone, and the servants are really worried. Why don't you let the servants come in to guard you, just in case?"
Li Shixian squinted his eyes and looked at Li Song with disdain: Do you think I am an idiot, so easy to fool?
Not to mention that the enemy generals who entered the carriage were all unarmed and tied up, and they were checked and checked again and again by Li Rui, Li Cong and other personal guards before getting on the carriage. With Chengzhi and bravery, he won the three armies, and now he has all his armor and stomach. There is no way he will be hurt.
Li Song was clearly curious and wanted to trick himself.
Seeing Li Shixian's expression, Li Song knew that his thoughts had been revealed, so he smiled and said, "I'm just curious. Why are you doing this?"
What else can we do? Of course it is to defeat the enemy!
In fact, Li Shixian also knew this, but didn't know why. He just guessed some of it from the few words Li Chengzhi said before summoning the captured enemy generals.
When he heard that the commander who defeated the enemy was Chang Yizhi, the deputy commander was Pei Sui, and the man who led the elite cavalry to attack the camp like an egg hitting a stone was Cheng Jingjun, Li Chengzhi once said repeatedly: God helps me, God helps me...
Just Chang Yizhi and Pei Sui. The former was a famous general in the Southern Dynasty, and the latter could interpret Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals at the age of ten and was known as a child prodigy. He was also very good at fighting and could be called a versatile scholar in both civil and military affairs. These two people are so famous. Li Shixian has heard about it, and Li Chengzhi is no exception.
But Li Shixian has no idea who Sung Kyung-joon is.
It's not just him, even Diao Zheng, who comes from a wealthy family, and Bo Xue such as Li Daoyuan are hearing about it for the first time. I can only guess whether he is a member of the former Huaiyang Prefect Cheng Anle's clan.
But when Li Chengzhi heard this name, it was like thunder in his ears, and then a flash of light suddenly appeared, and he suddenly ordered Li Rui to bring in all the enemies captured today, and he wanted to interrogate them one by one.
After that, there was a sentence that Li Chengzhi was quite proud of and seemed to have a well-thought-out statement: The way to use troops is to attack the heart first, and attack the city next; fighting with the heart is the uppermost, and fighting with soldiers is the lowest...
Li Shixian wanted to ask more questions, but before he even opened his mouth, Li Chengzhi coaxed him out of the car.
Know your son and don’t talk about your father. In this way, with Li Shixian’s treachery, how can you still not figure out what Li Chengzhi wants?
He couldn't help but think of what the traitor had said: He and Guo Yuzhi could at least live to be old (eighty years old).
Others may doubt whether Li Chengzhi was given by heaven, but Li Shixian believed it from beginning to end. Therefore, he guessed that Li Chengzhi should know the secrets of Chang Yi Zhi, Pian Shen, and Cheng Jingjun and others. Therefore, he wanted to This is a plan to attack the heart...
