Song Yang's words immediately made Luo Dingyuan and other Hanzhong reinforcements look at him with suspicion. Please visit for the latest free chapter of this book... Although Song Yang did not say what connection Lin Shucheng had with Zhao Jun, he could be regarded by King Zhao
He was regarded as the top official in Chang'an City and could not help but be envied and envied.
They know the current situation in Chang'an City better than anyone else. Most of them are not afraid of fighting to the death. Of course, if things cannot be done and they cannot hold on, it is naturally a good thing to be alive. Being valued so much by Zhao Xun, plus
Lin Shucheng's surrender to Zhao might be a good way out for his old friend Ling Xiao. Especially since the King of Hanzhong has no intention of re-appointing him, it would definitely be better for him to serve under King Zhao than to serve in the Han army.
In addition to these envy and jealousies, these generals also had some suspicions. If other generals wanted to fight to the death with Zhao Jun under Luo Dingyuan's military order, then the original group of people in Chang'an City and Lin Shucheng all had reasons and solutions to surrender to Zhao.
Most of Luo Dingyuan’s family’s Hanzhong reinforcements and their family members are in Hanzhong. Especially these senior generals and officers, their family members are basically in Hanzhong. They raised the flag to surrender to Zhao, which naturally caused many problems.
Compared with the nearly 10,000 soldiers of their Chang'an line, they are basically locals from Chang'an and Xiyongzhou. It is more cost-effective for them to surrender to Zhao than these Hanzhong reinforcements. Therefore, since then, the relationship between the two sides
, some special emotions and thoughts gradually appeared, and an invisible barrier also appeared between them.
What a sharp method! Lin Shucheng secretly admired it. But his expression remained unchanged and he said softly: "If King Zhao wants to rely on you to divide the soldiers in the city and facilitate your attack on the city, I think you don't need to say anything anymore. My officer
My king favors me and appoints me as the military and political director of Xiyong Province. It is absolutely not what you said. If you want to capture Chang'an, I will wait here for the Zhao army to attack the city. I and General Luo will jointly fight against you and other unjust divisions.
"
"That's right! If you want to divide us, I, General, see that you don't need to say anything. Although there are not many defenders in Chang'an City, if you want to break the city, I, the General, will definitely make you suffer a bloody head." Luo Dingyuan also said.
He answered in a cold voice.
Although Luo Dingyuan's tone was passionate, Song Yang saw hesitation, worry and fear of Lin Shucheng in his eyes. He smiled and said: "Since you two are so confident, Song will not say much. However, what is the situation in Chang'an City?
, you two and all the Han generals are very clear about the situation in Xiyong Province. I think you will have new views on war and surrender in the future."
Although he failed to get the Chang'an garrison to surrender, Song Yang knew that his mission had been completed. Unexpectedly, the Han generals who were still arrogant and wanted to fight to the death with the Zhao army were now silent.
Didn’t you see? Didn’t you see that some of the generals looked at themselves differently from the beginning?
In fact, not only did Song Yang see the change, why didn't Lin Shucheng and Luo Dingyuan see it? Zhao Jun's envoy did bring them the situation outside the city. Although they said they didn't believe it, they knew what the other party said.
It is 10% true. Otherwise, there would be no news coming from the surrounding counties during these days. But these news brought more harm to them. Lin Shucheng already regretted it at this time.
I saw Zhao Jun’s envoy.
For the defenders in the city, the worst news is that the passage for Jingzhou reinforcements going north is blocked. Lin Shucheng knows very well that if the reinforcements going north are Han soldiers and horses, these leading generals may desperately attack Qingni Pass and other passes. But now
These reinforcements are from the Luo Army. They are afraid that they will not let their soldiers fight to the death to attack the pass in order to support Xiyong Province. Of course, it is not easy to seize the pass from the Zhao army.
Lin Shucheng was even more worried about what Song Yang said about the Shu army's reinforcements. He knew that the Zhao army was full of talents, and while besieging him, he must also be using some conspiracy in Hanzhong to make the Shu army give up going north for support.
He turned to attack his allies.
"General Luo, how much do you believe what Zhao Jun's envoy said?" Lin Shucheng said in a deep voice after Song Yang left.
Luo Dingyuan's eyes flickered, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Although what Zhao Jun's envoy said is beneficial to the other party, it is true that our situation is not good. I wonder if Mr. Lin can teach me anything?"
After hearing what Luo Dingyuan said, Lin Shucheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He knew that the other party and himself had already developed a gap. In other words, between the soldiers of the Hanzhong reinforcements and the original soldiers of Chang'an, because of the words of Zhao Jun's envoy, there was a gap between them.
There is already a barrier.
"General Luo, we cannot believe everything that Zhao Jun's envoy said, nor can we not believe it. Thinking about it, Zhao Jun will not immediately launch an operation against Chang'an City. Therefore, the prefectures and counties west of Chang'an will become Zhao Jun's primary target. Therefore,
We should immediately send a message to the Xianyang area to let them be more vigilant."
"In addition, the fall of Lantian, Qingni Pass and other places also tells us that Zhao Jun has begun to block the passage connecting Xiyongzhou to the south. Therefore, Luogu, Chencang, and Sanguan lines must also warn them and let them be careful.
alert."
"There is also what the envoy of the Zhao army said about the reinforcements of the Shu army. Although we don't know what conspiracy the Zhao army is playing in Hanzhong, we have to be on guard. Therefore, the general also wants to summon Xianyang and ask them to tell them about this.
The situation was reported back to Hanzhong, and the soldiers were left behind in Hanzhong to be on guard against the Shu army. However, there was an abnormality, and the most important thing was to protect Hanzhong. Of course, the situation must also be reported to the king. Only the king can use other princes to suppress the evil intentions of the king of Shu.
.”
Lin Shucheng's words immediately made Luo Dingyuan nod secretly. Although the appearance of Zhao Jun's envoy made him somewhat suspicious of Lin Shucheng. However, he still had to take what Zhao Jun's envoy said to heart.
"Master Lin, the situation in Chang'an is like this now. Do you have any good way to solve the current predicament?" Luo Qing asked in a deep voice. Luo Qing's words were also what these generals wanted to ask. Song Yang told the situation in Chang'an
It was clear that as leading generals, they had to consider this.
Lin Shucheng was silent for a while, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Although Chang'an is good, it also traps us here. Although there are many troops in the city, because of the huge city, we cannot use the tens of thousands of troops as we should.
The role. If you really have to choose one way, it is to withdraw from Chang'an and temporarily avoid the edge!"
"Quit Chang'an? Avoid its edge?" Luo Qing and other generals all changed their colors.
"That's right! Although the city of Chang'an is strong and thick, we have a good location to defend the city. However, now Zhao Jun has captured all the areas around Chang'an, making us a caged bird. Although we have a city to defend,
But we are also trapped here, preventing us from playing the role that our more than 30,000 soldiers should have."
"But if these 30,000 soldiers join the prefectures and counties to the west, then we can have tens of thousands more mobile troops, and we will not be scattered and surrounded by the Zhao army one by one, and they can communicate with each other. The Zhao army will use part of its troops to let them
Our more than 30,000 soldiers are stranded here and cannot move lightly. However, the counties in the western region will become the targets of Zhao Jun's gradual attack. If the western counties are captured one by one by Zhao Jun, even if we defend Chang'an, it will be in vain.
Without help, Xiyong Prefecture will definitely be unable to be protected."
"No!" Luo Dingyuan said coldly, "In Chang'an City, we still have a year's worth of food and grass for tens of thousands of troops, and countless weapons and equipment. At the same time, this is also the old capital of Yan and the core of Xiyong Province. If Chang'an is to be
If you lose it, the meaning is very important. Even you and I can't explain it to the king."
Lin Shucheng nodded secretly. The large amount of food and supplies in the city was indeed the reason why they could not give up the city, but more importantly, Chang'an was of great significance to Xiyongzhou and they could not give up easily.
Lin Shucheng said coldly: "Of course, when I withdraw from Chang'an, I don't mean to leave the Chang'an Security Department to Zhao Jun, but to burn the grain and grass in the city, force the people to hand over the remaining grain, and make hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an become Zhao Jun's
Drag. Zhao Jun has always put the people first. This time, let them choose whether to appease the people or advance westward. In this way, we will have enough time to wait for reinforcements to regain the eastern part of Xiyong Province.
"
After Lin Shucheng said this, everyone present took a cold breath. Lin Shucheng's plan was really a treacherous one. In this way, Zhao's army would definitely be as big as a fight. However, they who were stationed in Chang'an would also become notorious.
"No! Chang'an is under the jurisdiction of our Han army, how can we act like this? If we do this, the people of Xiyong Prefecture will definitely be alienated from us. If the Zhao army puts the people first, then we will completely lose the hearts and minds of the people of Xiyong Prefecture.ri
Even if we are able to regain Xiyong Prefecture in the future, I am afraid that we will not get the support of the people. Instead, it will allow the Zhao army to win the hearts of the people and let them continue to occupy this place relying on the people of Xiyong Prefecture." The generals and colonels of the Chang'an department all refused. They
They are all from Xiyongzhou and Chang'an, so they naturally don't want to see their families and hometown suffer.
"Yes, this plan is not possible! There are so many grains and supplies in Chang'an City that we have worked hard to hoard, how can we destroy them easily? In addition, the status of Chang'an City is not trivial. If it is destroyed by our fire, then what will happen?
It is difficult for us to bear this responsibility and this infamy." Luo Dingyuan shook his head quickly.
Luo Dingyuan also thought that Lin Shucheng's suggestion was good, but he did not want to bear the infamy of destroying Chang'an, the old capital of the Yan Dynasty. Of course, he was not sure whether he could get it back after destroying Chang'an.
Take it back, will Chang'an still be Chang'an at that time? Will the King of Hanzhong need such Chang'an?
Luo Qing's eyes flashed with light, and he suddenly said: "Master Lin's suggestion is good, but it is a bit too much. It is better to lead the army west to Xianyang, gather with the prefectures and counties in the west, and at the same time send troops to the area connected to Hanzhong to let the north
The Shu army stepped up its support, while the remaining people were stationed in Chang'an, waiting for the source of the army."
"General, General Luo Qing's words are worthy of consideration." Fang Ying, one of the four generals, couldn't help but said: "General, he will temporarily lead the main force of the army to withdraw to the western region and contact the armies of various prefectures and counties in the west to deal with the Zhao army's westward advance.
In Chang'an, an army was left to garrison. There were hundreds of thousands of civilians in the city, and young men were recruited to defend the city. With this city, they would be able to hold on for a while. When the generals gathered reinforcements from the Shu army, the army marched eastward, and then defeated Zhao.
Army, recapture Xiyongzhou."
Lin Shucheng frowned and said nothing. In his opinion, what Luo Qing said was not nonsense, and was similar to what he said. However, Lin Shucheng knew very well that Luo Dingyuan was now the coach of Chang'an and also the coach of Xiyongzhou. If at this time
Luo Dingyuan abandoned Chang'an and went west, which is no different from abandoning the city and fleeing. So no matter how many troops are left to guard Chang'an, no matter who is stationed, the morale of the defenders left in Chang'an will definitely be greatly reduced, and the defenders will definitely not be able to last for a long time.
, once Chang'an falls, not only the large amount of money and food stored in Chang'an City will inevitably fall into the hands of Zhao Jun, but Zhao Jun will also get the first city in Xiyong Prefecture.
Think about it, if our own side occupies Chang'an City, Zhao Jun cannot attack easily. If Zhao Jun occupies this place and gets the food and grass supplies here and the city defense without any damage, then Zhao Jun will have a large number of catapults.
Can they still take down Chang'an City and Zhentian Lei?
Seeing that Luo Dingyuan was a little moved, Lin Shucheng hesitated for a while and said in a deep voice: "General Luo, although what General Luo Qing said is a good idea, the general is the commander in chief of the city. If the general leaves before the battle at this moment, it will affect the morale of the defenders."
I'm afraid the blow will be huge. I'm afraid that even if there are hundreds of thousands of people in the city and countless young men can be recruited, it will be difficult to hold on to the city."
Hearing this, Luo Dingyuan's face turned slightly cold and he said: "In that case, then I, the general, should be stationed in Chang'an City, and Master Lin will lead the army out of the city to join the western army?"
Lin Shucheng naturally heard from Luo Dingyuan's words that he was dissatisfied with what he said. He had some doubts about what he said, suspecting that he deliberately let him stay in the city. Randomly, he said in a low voice: "I, like General Luo, are the main persons in charge of Xiyong Prefecture.
, this land of Chang'an is the core of Xiyong Province, you and I cannot leave easily. Unless we want to take Chang'an City as I said before, otherwise, we will hand over Chang'an to the Zhao army."
Seeing what Lin Shucheng said, Luo Dingyuan did not say anything further. However, as soon as Lin Shucheng said this, Luo Dingyuan's original plan to leave Chang'an City and go west to join the armies from various places to fight with the Zhao army in the field was difficult to express.
Xue Ran, one of the four generals under Luo Dingyuan, saw that Luo Dingyuan wanted to leave the city, but he did not want to be trapped in the city, so he had no choice but to do anything to Zhao Jun. So he said in a deep voice: "At the end of the day, I think what Vice General Luo said is reasonable! Master Lin is worried.
Although it makes sense, as long as we join up with the armies of the western prefectures and counties, immediately move our troops eastward, break Zhao Jun's siege of Chang'an, and become horns with Chang'an, we won't worry that the defenders in the city will not last long. Besides, Chang'an
The city is strong, and as long as the remaining defenders hold on firmly, they may not be able to hold on until the main army repels the Zhao army."
"It's not that easy." Lin Shucheng frowned and shook his head and said: "A city of three miles and a country of seven miles can't be defeated in a ring. It's all because the weather is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the people. The coach leaves before the battle, which is a blow to the morale of the army.
It is still very big. Once the morale of the army is loosened and the morale is sharp, no matter how strong the city of Chang'an is, no matter how high the city is and how deep the trenches are, it may be difficult to defend it."
Xue Ran nodded and said: "What Mr. Lin said is true. However, in addition to the general being the chief brush officer in the city, Mr. Lin is also the commander. Moreover, Mr. Lin is the orthodox Chang'an left guard in Chang'an. With Mr. Lin here, Chang'an will definitely general
It will not be easily lost. When the general's army is outside, there is no need to worry about Chang'an. At that time, it will definitely be exposed to the siege of the Zhao army outside Chang'an City. Therefore, the problem that Lord Lin is worried about is not insurmountable."
Hearing what Xue Ran said, Lin Shucheng and the generals of the Chang'an First Department under Lin Shucheng's command suddenly became unhappy. Especially the former generals of the Chang'an First Department. According to what Xue Ran said, Lin Shucheng and the former Chang'an First Department were asked to stay in Chang'an.
, Luo Dingyuan and a group of Hanzhong reinforcements went out to the west of the city to join the army to respond outside.
Although according to what Xue Ran said, if Luo Dingyuan can unite his army, break through Zhao Jun's blockade, and become horns with Chang'an, it is not impossible for Chang'an to rescue the siege. However, if Chang'an does not have an army of 20,000, and Zhao Jun attacks the city, the defenders can
There are still two reasons for not being able to hold on. The most important thing is that Zhao Jun's Zhentian Lei has not been able to come up with a hostile method until now. In particular, they are now deliberately sorting out previous intelligence because of the appearance of Zhao Jun's Zhentian Lei.
It was learned that the Zhao army once used thunder to blast open the cities of the Mohe tribe in the north.
Although the Zhao army bombed the cities of the Mohe tribe at that time, in comparison, they were just like a small city on the border of the Han people in the Central Plains. However, who can guarantee that the Zhao army could not blow up Chang'an City? Without a large army, let them
Staying behind is obviously to let them die. If Luo Dingyuan cannot arrive in time and Chang'an is lost, it has nothing to do with Luo Dingyuan.
When Lin Shucheng saw this, he immediately regretted what he had said before about avoiding the edge. It was not that he didn't like what Xue Ran said to let him stay in Chang'an, but it made the estrangement between the army in the city clearer.
"What General Xue Ran said is not unreasonable. If it were in the past, there would be no problem for me to stay behind. But now I'm afraid it's impossible. For one thing, the officers and soldiers in the city all know that General Luo is the commander-in-chief of the city.
The person in charge who came to lead the war in Xiyongzhou on behalf of the king. Secondly, I forced the officers and soldiers to fight to the death by seeing the documents, which made the officers and soldiers in the city very dissatisfied with me. If I were to take charge of the military again, I am afraid that I would not have arranged the garrison before
Regarding the city affairs, these soldiers directly dedicated the city and surrendered."
"In addition, the generals have been in the city for many days, and they must also know the attitude of the people in the city towards their officers. Do you think they will obey my military orders and assist the army to garrison the city? I'm afraid that they will be more straightforward to surrender to the Zhao army by then. The soldiers below will not only
We will not stop it, but we will cooperate.”
"So, it is okay for me to stay in Chang'an, and the same is true for my duties. However, if I am asked to take charge of this matter, I am afraid that not only will there be no benefits, but there will be a lot of disasters." Lin Shucheng glanced at Xue Ran and other Hanzhong reinforcements generals, and said
Said quietly.
