Although the sky has not snowed, the climate becomes even colder after the snow stops. The north wind is whistling, cutting it on a person's face like a knife, causing pain...
In the Changli County Government, Zhao Xun was also anxious and uneasy at this moment. Today is the day of the Shanyang Army in Yanzhou Prefecture to the north. Or rather, it is more appropriate to be in the early morning of this morning. Although he is full of confidence in this action, Zhao Xun is still a little
I can't rest assured. After today, the Shanyang Army will officially fight with the Yanzhou Prefecture Army. If you can take down Jiyin Prefecture and Songzhou Prefecture in the shortest time and defend it, it will be considered as the goal.
If it cannot be solved quickly, the subsequent matter will be troublesome. In Luzhou Prefecture, Xu Jie and Li Yu's troops are not far apart. At that time, Xu Jie gave up Luzhou Prefecture and allowed the Wuwei Army to capture Luzhou Prefecture and threatened Xuzhou.
It is not impossible to force the Xuzhou army to send troops to help as a threat. After all, in winter, wars in various parts of Xuzhou also stopped.
"What, the general is worried about the war in Jiyin Prefecture?" Ge Xin, who walked to Zhao Xun, wrapped his clothes and changed to the position of the upcoming prefect of Songzhou Prefecture, asked slowly.
Zhao Xun said: "There are some! Winter combat is not a good time. Furthermore, according to the information, Xu Jie has sent the new chief Ji Yun to take charge of this matter. After Ji Yun arrived in Qi County, Ji Yin Prefecture, he repeatedly gave it to him.
The counties sent orders to make them take strict precautions. It goes without saying that we are the ones who are guarding against us, and we don’t know what the situation is…”
Ge Xin said in a deep voice: "Why do you need to worry about the general? Since you hand over the matter to your subordinates, you should believe in their abilities. Furthermore, as the general said, no one is born to lead the army, and no general is born to win every battle.
It doesn't matter if you fail, but you are afraid that you can't get up if you fail. General, you said this when you were recruiting troops and persuaded to surrender. You should believe them, let alone, even if you fail, our Songzhou Prefecture
It must be fine. After all, the closest thing to Changli County is that in Rencheng, which has the most guards in Songzhou Prefecture, the guard lieutenants were surrendered by the general. Then, there would be no problem with Songzhou Prefecture. Songzhou Prefecture,
Jiyin Prefecture is located in the middle of the attacks between Songzhou Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture, so why are you afraid of it?”
Zhao Xun smiled faintly and said, "What you said is reasonable, I still don't see clearly!"
Ge Xin smiled and said, "The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear! In fact, Ji Yun, who took over Feng Ziming as the chief secretary, did have two tricks. Among them, he betrayed Shanyang Prefecture and Liangzhou Prefecture and used tens of thousands of two government troops as abandoned sons.
But although he was meticulous and had plans, he was not a general in the leadership. It was different to make plans for the army and lead the army in person. Even if Ji Yun returned to Qi County, he would not cause any trouble to the army.
”
Zhao Xun laughed and said, "It's so good. If you give me auspicious words, my army will definitely be as powerful as a bamboo shoot."
…………
It seemed as if the bloody smell over the entire city was blowing away, and the north wind over Qi County was howling. Although it was not snowing now, it still took a long time after the war in the middle of the night. It was originally dirty and dirty, but it was burned.
The streets are also covered with white snow.
The white snow seemed to cover up the sin that happened last night, and no one would pursue what happened last night again. In the face of the white heavy snow, people can forget the killing of last night, and think that maybe this is a
A beautiful beginning. However, until dawn, there was still no trace in Qi County, with no personnel coming and going, and it seemed deserted everywhere. No one even dared to walk to the streets, and most people obediently continued to stay in the house.
Inside. Because when the war started last night, the Shanyang Army had already ordered the people to live at home and not to go out without permission. Those who violated the orders would be killed without mercy. However, after the war, although no one continued to enforce military orders, no one deliberately said it.
This military order has been cancelled.
Gradually, there were brave people quietly looking through the window, which was already thick snow outside. However, they were trampled in a mess and were full of footprints. The children were also planning to build snowmen, which seemed to be
Can't continue.
All around the governor's mansion were soldiers from Shanyang Army stationed. The whistling wind blew a corner of them, but the soldiers were still standing upright as if they were javelins. The governor's mansion was also the key to the battlefield last night.
The bloodstains of the fight last night were all covered by heavy snow, and there was no trace of them.
From time to time, patrols appeared around, leaving long footprints on the snow, adding some footprints to the already messy snow.
"Have you met Lord Feng!" After arranging the matter in the city, Tang Bin came to the governor's mansion to meet these civil servants, and Feng Ziming also came here in person.
Feng Ziming smiled and said, "Tang Bin, you have done a good job, and the general will definitely look at each other with admiration. In addition, let's tell you a good news. Chengyang and Juxian in the north were taken down by our army. Next, we will
On the one hand, it is to sweep westward, and on the other hand, it is to take down the Lincheng in the east."
Tang Bin said in a deep voice: "There should be no problem to the west of Qi County. After being transferred by Ji Yun like this, the five counties to the west are no longer a big problem. It can be said that as long as we turn the here
The news can be spread by one order. As for the Lincheng to the east, it is the first front to resist the Xu Jie counterattack. The city is strong and the chilly. After taking it down, the entire Jiyin Prefecture is basically in our army.
It's the hand."
Feng Ziming paused and said, "First settle the people in the city, and I'm telling me that all the poor people in the city can go to the governor's office to collect relief food. All the surrendered soldiers in the city will be exempted from punishment. All the affected people in the city will be affected.
The governor's office arranged for the handling. In addition, new policy notices have been posted, announcing tax exemption and tax reduction policies and unified commercial tax policies to the people. As for the gentry, as long as the private army is handed over according to the regulations and the embezzled fields, the blame will be held.
All are exempted.”
Tang Bin said worriedly: "Will this incite riots among the big tribes in the city?"
Feng Ziming said in a deep voice: "If I dare not do so anxiously in other seasons. But in this winter, we are not afraid of him, especially when the snow is falling, and they are seeking death, then
Let them die.”
"The baggage and young soldiers were all organized into regular soldiers this time. According to the general, your right guard will be changed to the right guard, with 25,000 people in one guard. In addition to the first remaining capital, which was expanded in Yanzhou Prefecture, the first capital was added to Yanzhou Prefecture.
, One of them began to expand on the spot, select from the surrendered soldiers, let them join the army to join the war, and soften them. In addition, all the injured soldiers were left, and I will mix them with local young and strong people to form county soldiers,
Guard the place."
Tang Bin suddenly said, "Master Feng, my subordinates can take action now when they take down Lincheng. However, they need to use Ji Yun's body."
"The Body?" Feng Ziming was stunned. In the past, he and Ji Yun were both Xu Jie's aides, but he was the chief minister appointed by the court, and Ji Yun was Xu Jie's close aide. Therefore, Xu Jie trusted more
Ji Yun, not him, was also because of this, and Xu Jie finally abandoned him without hesitation. The reason why he was not in a hurry to attack Lincheng was that in addition to the strong Lincheng City, it was because the Wuwei Army was almost in the Wuwei Army.
When Luzhou Prefecture broke the heavy city behind it, the city had a large army in addition to the need for it, there were also many things like defending the city, such as crossbows and catapults on the city walls, which were easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Of course, we can no longer raid the city like at night. But if we wait until night, the news that Qi County was occupied by our side would probably have spread to Lincheng.
"The news that we have taken this place has not yet been spread out of the city. As long as we lead the army to appear in Lincheng first, we will definitely be able to take this city." Then, Tang Bin planned to use Ji Yun to take advantage of his plan to use Ji Yun.
The plan of the corpse and the army that pretended to be Yanzhou Prefecture Army to raid Lincheng was told by Feng Ziming.
"This plan is good, but it's hard to win the trust with Ji Yun's corpse alone." Feng Ziming frowned slightly.
Tang Bin said: "In addition, Qi County Guardian College Guard Qiu Lin also surrendered to our army and asked him to cooperate. This person really surrendered to our army. In addition, there are some officers who were attracted by us, and they are also
In this way, the orthodox officers of Qi County should be able to deceive the Lincheng defenders. Furthermore, it is normal for Ji Yun to command the army in the name of the chief minister and take the initiative to fight and defeat, because Ji Yun's nature is Zhang, the Lincheng defender.
Yao also knew very well."
"Okay, since that's the case, you will be allowed to operate this time. Lincheng has not many defenders, but because it is a logistics base, ordinary people are not allowed to enter the city except for the army, baggage team and the military and civilians recruited by the army.
Usually they pass around the city. In short, be careful." Feng Ziming explained in a deep voice. He naturally knew the benefits of taking down Lincheng to the whole situation. It was gloomy and would not stop Tang Bin from attacking this time.
The north wind was like a knife, and a team of all the troops appeared outside the west gate of Lincheng.
A carriage led by four good horses slowly came towards Lincheng. The soldiers of the army were disheveled and moved toward the city gate in scattered manner. Qiu Lin, a guard of the Qi County Army, was located in the front army, on both sides of his body
There were several soldiers from Shanyang soldiers eyeing him. Then, behind him, several crossbow arrows pointed directly behind him. Although Qiu Lin surrendered voluntarily and regarded his family as the host, Tang Bin still did not dare to be careless. If something went wrong,
That would have failed.
"Wuwuwu..." The logistics site is the logistics site. Although it is not now, it is still tightly guarded. The soldiers on the city pointed the longbows in their hands at the soldiers on their own side, not because they were soldiers on their own side.
And relax.
A low and loud warning trumpet sounded on the Lincheng city tower, followed by a fierce gathering of soldiers and drums. After a cup of tea, the west gate of Lincheng opened wide, and a team of fully armed elite soldiers Hulala rushed from the city.
He came out, then quickly spread his wings to encircle them into geese wings, and was eyeing them on both sides of the white army.
An officer rushed forward and shouted loudly: "Who are you waiting for? What's going on? I am Lin Daoran, the lieutenant of the Lincheng garrison, and the person who came here is a common name!"
Qiu Lin suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, raised his head, and said bitterly: "Captain Lin, can you still recognize this captain?"
Lin Daoran's eyes sharply wanted to see who it was. When they dared to call themselves the captain, they saw that it was Qiu Lin, and he immediately said with a smile: "It turned out to be Qiu Linqiu, the captain of the guards, Qiu Linqiu.
And the soldiers were wearing mourning, but for some reason? Also, Captain Qiu should be in charge of Qi County, how could he be?"
Qiu Lin looked sad and said in a stern voice: "People Lin don't know anything, and Ji Changshi was killed yesterday afternoon."
"What?" Lin Daoran was shocked and said in a lost voice, "Person Qiu, please explain clearly, what's going on? How could Lord Ji go back to raise food and grass?" As he said, his face was full of doubt.
Qiu Lin said bitterly, "The Shanyang Army pretended to be a baggage team and suddenly attacked the city yesterday afternoon. Our army guarded closely and occupied the Shanyang Army outside the city. However, Lord Ji was inspired by the Shanyang Army.
He refused to listen to the advice and insisted on leading the army to fight, but as a result..." As he said that, he couldn't help but feel sad, and two lines of clear tears flowed in his eyes.
Lin Daoran saw Qiu Lin's expression of sadness, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong. He rushed forward and looked forward to the coffin on the carriage. He saw a person lying in the coffin with pale face, and his vitality was gone. Lin Daoran saw it very clearly.
This was Ji Yun and Ji Changshi. His face changed drastically at that time. The servant turned over and fell down, and he started to cry.
"Sir, please inform all the officers in the city to come out and welcome the Chief Secretary into the city!" Seeing that Lin Daoran was shocked by Ji Yun's body, he did not ask about other situations in detail, he felt relieved.
Lin Daoran was naturally not really sad, but Ji Yun, as the chief minister, could not be without expression. He knew very well what Ji Yun's identity and status in Xu Jie's heart. That's why he started to howl. He heard Qiu Lin say this,
Immediately stood up and said, "Person Qiu, wait a moment, and I will go back to the city to summon civil and military officials."
After saying that, he turned over and galloped towards the city, and hundreds of elite Nanyang soldiers who were eyeing him around him also retreated back to the city like a tide.
Five miles away from Lincheng, Xu Qing's face was covered in frost, holding a long knife in his hand, and his eyes were staring at Lincheng ahead. They were waiting for Xu Le and others to take action, but they were all killed.
After the city's civil and military officials had more city gates, the five hundred cavalry that had temporarily gathered together rushed out and pacified the defenders in the west of the city with thunder to welcome the arrival of the army behind. After all, the army was infantry, but not as fast as the cavalry.
.
In less than a meal, there were noises from afar from the city. Under the leadership of Zhang Yao, the civil and military officials stationed in Lincheng, lined up in two neat rows and hurried out from the west gate to greet them.
Lord Changshi's coffin entered the city.
"Prince Qiu!"
"Prince Zhang!" Qiu Lin and Zhang Yao greeted each other, and then saw that many of the officers around him knew each other, so they pressed their questions in their hearts. After all, this is Ji Yun's coffin, but it's not
There is no one's leisure place. In this kind of occasion, Zhang Yao dared not do anything. In fact, Zhang Yao wanted to ask why Ji Yun was killed and the coffin did not say hello before it was transported. As the garrison of Qi County, facing
Why did the Shanyang Army leave the city during the attack? But he could only ask Qiu Lin later.
"Prepare to welcome Lord Changshi's coffin into the city!" Qiu Lin shouted in a deep voice.
"Thuh...puff..."
When the Shanyang Army officer located beside Zhang Yao received the order, he inserted the sharp blade hidden in his sleeve into Zhang Yao's chest without hesitation, and stabbed him several times.
"You...you..." Zhang Yao fell to the ground, and after just chanting a few words on his lips, he disappeared.
"Swish swish swish swish..." The crossbow arrows in the hands of the soldiers behind were tilted out in an instant. Although each person had only the power of one arrow, after targeting the target, he had already solved all the more than 20 officers and more than ten civil servants at the city gate.
"Brothers, kill and seize the city gate!" Xu Le slashed a sword in his hand, killing an officer who had not yet died, and then shouted loudly. At the same time, the cavalry five miles away also began to act. Xu Le sternly began to act.
Before the more than 300 soldiers guarding the city reacted, they killed the guards near the west gate.
In just a moment, except for a few soldiers who fled in panic, all the unprepared civil and military officials were killed. It can be said that among the two thousand defenders in Lincheng, all the officers with the above-tier command were basically finished.
When the soldiers in the city arrived for reinforcements in a mess, Xu Le's more than 300 people had already nailed them to the west gate of Lincheng like nails. The city gate was opened and the chains of the suspension bridge were cut off. The left-behind officials were
Killing all the troops and losing the effective control of the city guards, one out of ten, was not allowed to have one out of ten. Although there were many people, it was difficult to pose a fatal threat to Xu Le’s more than 300 people.
The soldiers guarding the city launched several chaotic counterattacks, but they were all defeated by the Shanyang army gathered under the city gate. At this time, Xu Qing's troops who came five miles away finally arrived. Although there were only more than 500.
But at this moment it was like rolling iron flowing towards the west gate. The rumbling sound of hooves suddenly rang through the sky, and even the snow on the surrounding houses and on the city walls began to scatter. The soldiers looked at each other in horror, all
They were all frightened, and they clearly felt that the ground under their feet was trembling and shaking.
