Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 490 General Let Me Talk About Zhang Xian

Let's say that Huang Qianshan, the magistrate of the famous prefecture, was in his forties, and he sat in such an important position, which can be said to be very proud.If it weren't for the rise of the Liangshan Army and the land of Hebei was at stake, Huang Qianshan could be said to be proud of his spring breeze and full of ambition.

But now he is in constant fear all day long, every time he wakes up at night with sweat dripping down his face, he is afraid that it is the Liangshan army who broke into the city.

His younger brother, Huang Qian Detian, was the magistrate of Mengzhou and had already fled into Daming Mansion. Unexpectedly, he threw himself into a prison and could not get out. He lamented every day and cried out in pain many times.

If so, these two people also fell into Li Si's eyes.

On this day, the city of Daming Prefecture collapsed, and even though the Liangshan army failed to pour into the city, the whole city was shaken.As soon as Zhang Suo issued the decree, he received an invitation card from Huang Qianshan, which stated that he would hold a banquet with the wealthy families in the city at night, and planned everyone's strength to defend the city.

"Why does Fu Yin add to the chaos at such a time?" Tonight is the most important thing, and there must be no negligence in the slightest.At dusk, the Liang Bandit used the gap attack as a cover, and led his elite soldiers to the breach in the city wall.If Wang Yan hadn't handled it properly, he would have arranged the wooden female walls layer by layer, and blocked them with barbed caltrops, antlers, and repelling horses. I am afraid that the surrounding cities of the Daming Mansion would have fallen.Where does Zhang Suo still have time to go to the banquet?
Huang Qiande wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Mr. Zhang is tolerant, but this night banquet must be attended by Mr. Zhang. At that time, the wall in the south of the city collapsed, causing panic throughout the city. There were countless rumors, and the people spread rumors. Although the words were absurd, the impact was great Very bad. If you want to quickly stabilize the people in the city, you have to have those big gentry come forward. If so, the elder brother invited the big and rich families in the city to the banquet, and also asked the officials to invite the minister to go there for a while. This is also a big deal. "

What Huang Qiande said was reasonable and well-founded. Not to mention that Zhang Suo felt the same after hearing it. Even Zhang Xian felt the same after hearing it. "Huang Qianshan seems completely useless, but I don't think it can be of any use."

The officer's voice was not good in the Daming Mansion, if the Liangshan army broke into the city, it would surely suffer.Looking at it this way, they are people in the same boat, so it's no wonder they are now working hard.

With this settled, the Zhang family father and son went separately. Zhang Xian went to dispatch troops and strengthen internal defenses, while Zhang Suo led a group of soldiers and followed Huang Qiande to the prefect's Yamen for a banquet.

The latter was really full of people, so it was not lively.Zhang Suo was far away and heard the cheers from there.Then he said to Huang Qiande: "This is a wonderful way. Seeing peace and prosperity in the eyes of the people can calm the hearts of the people and boost morale." Huang Qiande only said yes.

When Zhang Suo arrived at the backyard of the government office, he saw that the banquet had already been set up, and all the big and rich families in the city had been invited, and it was quite complete.Only the atmosphere in the world is different, and there are many depressed people among them.

The two met each other, and Zhang Suo was immediately introduced to the chief seat by Huang Qianshan.And with the arrival of Zhang Suo, this banquet is just beginning.

Seeing that the morale of the crowd is not high, there is not a single person who toasted and drank, looked around the crowd.Zhang Suo got up and said: "Zhuge Wuhou of the Ji Han Dynasty once said: "Thinking deeply about the fact that the Han and the thieves are not independent, the king's career is not partial to one another. With the wisdom of the previous emperors, measure the talents of the ministers, so knowing the ministers and defeating the thieves, the weak and the enemy are strong." However, if you don’t kill thieves, the king’s career will also perish; but if you just sit and wait for death, who should kill them? That’s why you don’t doubt your ministers.”

"How similar was the Ji Han Dynasty in those days to the Daming Mansion I have today? All of you here used your servants to protect the courtyard and help Zhang to defend the city. So far, the Han and the thieves are no longer at odds. The day when the city was destroyed was the day when I, Zhang, was martyred. It’s time for you all to die. A desperate fight with a traitor is a death, and sitting there waiting for death is also a death. Why don’t you all fight hard to let the world know how loyal we are? In this way, we will leave a name in history and be admired by future generations."

What Zhang said was very loyal, just like what was said in "The List of Later Teachers", a sense of loyalty and heroism is beyond words.But these words can never make the people present happy. Even those who have not moved closer to Li Si, after hearing Zhang Suo's words, their faces are twilight and their smiles are ugly.

"What Xianggong said is different. King Qi is benevolent, and the world knows it. If Zhang Xianggong suddenly changed his plan at this time, the king will be happy, and he will not lose his wealth. Who would sit still and wait for death!"

Wearing a black cotton robe, Li Si got up and walked out of the sequence, speaking aloud.

Zhang Suo was furious and said, "Where are the soldiers? I pushed them out and killed them." However, he did not argue with the visitor and just shouted.At this time, it's time to use thunderous means and show off the cruel tricks.But we cannot give these people the opportunity to speak sharply, so as not to confuse people's minds.

At the same time, Zhang Suo also became suspicious of Huang Qianshan who was beside him.How can this kind of crazy thief get in and out of the official office? Could it be him...

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked directly at Huang Qianshan with angry eyes, "You...you are such a thief." But he saw Huang Qianshan holding a hand crossbow in his hand with a sharp arrow pointing at him.

Zhang Suo was furious immediately. "Well, you bastard, you have received a lot of favor from the imperial court, but you have betrayed your country and become a thief in this difficult time. I really wish I could see through Ru's face as soon as possible, and kill him as an example to others."

Zhang Suo was furious, and he was about to draw his sword from his waist, but he couldn't.It turned out that when he took the seat, he had already removed his saber.But Zhang Suo still threw his fists at Huang Qianshan, disregarding life and death.

He was hit on the head by a boy behind him who seemed to be a wine waiter, holding a wine spoon, and he fainted immediately.

There was a lot of noise at the banquet, but it was quickly overwhelmed by the sound of armor rushing out from the hatchback.But I saw hundreds of soldiers in armor pressing over from the left and right, and those big gentry who had not participated in it fell silent.

"Everyone, don't worry. Today's situation is really unavoidable. Xiao Ke first introduces himself. He belongs to the Daqi Intelligence Department and is the head of the Daming Station. His surname is Li and his name is Si. I greet you all."

If it was a thunderbolt, the name of the Liangshan Army's intelligence department had already spread all over the world, and the name was in charge, and his position was not low.For example, the heads of a group of rich and powerful families, whether they were the ones who knew about it long ago, or those who refused to participate, are now standing up to return the gift.

"You all know that this city has collapsed. Although Zhang Xianggong built another city wall inside it, the difference between the city wall built in a few days and the city wall of Daming Mansion is so huge? The former has collapsed, how can the latter be preserved?" What’s more, there are no reinforcements outside the Daming Mansion, no strong soldiers inside, and the day when the city is destroyed is just around the corner. At that time, if Zhang Xianggong builds fortifications on the streets and fights hard, a war will sweep through this place, and the loss will be huge. One can imagine .Maybe after a fierce battle, this Daming Mansion is like Tokyo City, and the scenery is gone.”

"Everyone is a wealthy local family. Based on this, why are you obsessed with obsession and do not save yourself, so as to avoid the situation where the army and the people are killed together, and jade and stone are burned?"

This is the time for Jia Yi and other insiders to perform.Qiqi went out and bowed to Li Si: "I beg the general to save you."

Even Huang Qianshan was inferior to Li Si at this time.

In this way, people are group animals, and when they are driven by this, there will be a scene of group responses immediately.In this way, not long after, countless entourages returned home in a hurry with the owner's handwritten letter.

Waiting for Zhang Xian to realize that something was wrong, it was already two or three quarters of an hour later.Immediately, he led troops to the magistrate's yamen.It was also at this time that the Liangshan Army's offensive at night began.

One after another, the artillery stones hit the wooden parapet and earth bags and sandbags not far from the broken wall.Among them, huge wooden balls pierced the sky with raging flames, just like shooting stars.

These incendiary bombs are wooden balls dipped in fat, taken out to dry, and dipped again.Repeatedly like this, if a fireball 'drinks enough' the fat, it can burn for four or five hours without interference.

The fireballs were like large torches, which soon lit up the city and the city red.

The battle drums of the Liangshan Army were beating rapidly, and the sound of horns shook the sky. The soldiers rushed forward like a tide like a turbulent tide.

Once the city wall of the defenders was broken, the morale of the army was already in chaos. Even if Zhang Suo had built a second city wall earlier, it would not help.Lu Qian didn't choose to attack in one go. After probing the attack, he just asked the stone cannon troops to extend the bombardment. That's because the defenders had already prepared.From Zhangsuo to Xiaobing, they all knew that that section of the city wall would be finished sooner or later.

Therefore, although the morale of the army was shaken, they could persist for a while.If so, Lu Qian took a step back and ordered the artillery carts to bombard the new city wall behind. After an hour of bombardment, it was already full of cracks.Obviously its quality is far worse than that of the city walls of Daming Mansion.

Lu Qian just wanted everyone to know that this new city wall is not worth mentioning at all.At the same time, it was also a wrong signal to the defenders, and he wanted to repeat the same tricks, using stone cannons to break down the new wall.But in fact, when the night covered the earth, it launched a fierce attack.

In the dark night, when people's sight is blocked, they rely more on their ears, and are more likely to be gripped by fear.

When fireballs and cannon stones were flying, there was a constant rumbling sound; a bed crossbow was aimed at the city wall in the light of the fire, and the stepping arrows were inserted straight into the city wall, and the soldiers climbed up staring at the stepping arrows; A series of ladders were built at the gap, screaming and killing, and Liangshan soldiers rushed to the top of the city like a tide.At this time, someone shouted again: The city is broken, the city is broken...

Lu Qian didn't think that these soldiers and horses in Daming Fucheng could hold on.Not to mention that both father and son of the Zhang family disappeared at the critical moment, Zhang Xian would not leave the prefect's father alone and go to the city to fight bloody.

When there was a loud roar in the city, although only fires were ignited here and there, some unoccupied and empty houses were deliberately vacated, but this was a heavy blow to the defenders fighting on the top of the city .

Wang Yan first felt that the situation was over.Especially when he knew that the magistrate Huang Qianshan had rebelled, Zhang Suo was trapped in the magistrate's yamen, Zhang Xian led his troops to besiege, and he dared not use force because of his father's safety.Looking up to the sky and sighing: "God does not bless the Song Dynasty, what can I do?" Then he asked people to raise the flag and surrender.

Seeing Hao Siwen said: "General, let me talk about Zhang Xian. Eliminating troops from each other will not only reduce casualties, but also add one or two heroes to King Qi."

Hao Siwen didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, so he sent someone to report to Lu Zhishen, who readily agreed.Lu Qian mentioned Zhang's father and son several times, and his admiration was beyond words.
