Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 597 Strong Fortresses Often From...

The shock of Wang Sidou's appearance and the news of Huanqing Road's surrender to Chang'an City is unimaginable.

Liu Fa immediately blocked the news, but it was useless.That night, all kinds of news spread throughout Chang'an City.

A feeling of the sky falling rose in the hearts of every soldier and civilian in Chang'an.

If before that, there were still people who hoped to keep Chang'an and half of Kansai, then the current bloody reality has already told them a cruel and unshakable conclusion.

Huanqing Road, the closest to Chang'an and the most powerful in Kansai, surrendered, and Chang'an completely became an isolated island in the sea.

There is an endless ocean on all sides. At this moment, the wind is howling, and waves are rolling up. It seems that the isolated island can be wiped out in the blink of an eye...

With the addition of the Huanqing Road Western Army, the strength of the Liangshan Army increased and decreased, making the Chang'an garrison weaker and weaker.

Li Mi took the courage to go to persuade Zhang Shen three days later by taking advantage of his business trip.The latter is also a veteran who has been in the officialdom for many years, once he heard Li Mida's words, he could guess the quality of the person in front of him.

"Well, Li Siju, I haven't done anything with you for many days, but I told you to do great things in secret."

Li Mida was not frightened. He chose Zhang Shen as his breakthrough point, not without reason.This deep book has a criminal record.He is a disciple of former prime minister Zhang Shangying. Zhang Shangying and Cai Jing were friendly at first, but later they drifted apart and even became political enemies.This Zhang Shen also followed several ups and downs in the early days, but there was never a sign of 'job-hopping'.It was not until the fourth year of Zhenghe that Zhao Ji wanted to appoint Yang Jian as the envoy of Jiedu. Zhang Shangying said: "The law of the ancestors, there is no internal servant to the regiment training envoy. If you have honorable labor as a leader, don't set up Zhaoxuan and Xuanzheng envoys to favor him. I have never heard of Jianyan axe Also." He has always insisted not to issue a certificate of appointment.Naturally, Zhang Shangying's result was not good.Presumably at a difficult time, the betrayal of his proud disciple was also a heavy blow to this Northern Song Dynasty minister who had mixed reviews and reputations behind him.

Zhang Shen jumped ship and joined Tong Guan's boat. So far, his journey has been smooth and he is proud of his officialdom.

In Li Mida's opinion, compared with other generals in the city, this kind of character has less backbone and more flexibility.

And now Guanzhong Prefecture County, nine out of ten have been captured by the Liangshan Army, it is already clear who will win and who will lose.Those who are loyal to the Song Dynasty will inevitably die in the end; but those who want to surrender to the Liangshan Army can survive.He has no clue about this military officer, but Li Mida has always known about civil servants.After the civil servants of the Song Dynasty experienced the misfortune of Cai Jing's administration, their moral integrity was somewhat unbearable.If these people could escape, they would have escaped long ago.And if they can't escape, and they happen to have something to kill them, they are loyal, filial, benevolent, and usually talk loudly, but they are as timid as a chicken, but they will usually have another ugly face.

Isn't that the case in Hedong, Northern Hebei, and the Central Plains?

"Let's put aside the big and small things. Li just knows that this has something to do with outside the city, and I can sleep soundly every night." Li Mi looked at Zhang Shen enthusiastically, "Ming people don't say In secret, does Mr. Zhang think that Liu Jinglue can really turn the tide?"

The blue sky is about to fall, how can one arm support the sky?
Zhang Shen was stunned for a while and shook his head silently.

Human hearts are made of flesh, and every betrayal is a painful ordeal for the individual.Of course, there is no need to mention some special human beings who have no face, no skin, no heart.

Zhang Shen was essentially a person who betrayed once, but the situation is much heavier now than before.

If possible, he also wants to be a big Song Zhongliang.But the condition of this future is that he can live, at least people must live, and right now...

"Dang Duan constantly suffers from the chaos. King Huanqing's Jinglue is a current example. Let's talk about him. If he surrenders early, the king will definitely take a higher look at him."

Li Mida couldn't stay with Zhang Shen for long, so he got up and left after a few words.After finishing his official business, he returned home and was still in fear. There was a little trouble outside, so he told him that something happened to him, and the Song army came to arrest him.

The shadow of a snake with a bow and a cup is like a bird frightened by a bow.It took two whole days before the heart that had been raised in his chest was let go.At such a time, Zhang Shen still hasn't reported him, so this person has fallen into his trap.

This day Zhang Shen invited him into the mansion for a talk, but he had already made up his mind.That day Li Mida came forward to tell him about him, Zhang Shen hesitated several times afterwards, but finally dared not do anything, feeling joy, fear and annoyance in his heart.This Li Mi elected him to make a breakthrough, which is both a happy event and a shame for Zhang Shen.But in the end, it was the anger overwhelmed by joy.

On that day, a small banquet was set up in the small pavilion in the inner hall, and Li Mida was invited to have a drink and talk there. During the period, Li Mida sent his personal attendants to invite the owner of a grocery store in the south of Chang'an City to come.This man is Cao Zheng's younger brother, and he is settling down in Chang'an City.

The two parties are exactly the same when they meet bosom friends, there are only a thousand cups of wine, and the conversation is as long as ten thousand sentences, and they ate the wine until the middle of the night before breaking up.

At noon the next day, several generals went to Zhangshen's Yamen to talk back and forth, all dressed up and with their knives hanging from their waists.See you soon as always.

Not long after, two messengers came, and the general led his party to the lobby.The leader, Zhao Bin, walked to the dripping eaves, and saw two squads of soldiers standing in full drape.The guards under the hall also held guns and knives, shining white, standing in a row impenetrable to the wind and rain.Standing straight from the hall to the courtyard.Several generals saw themselves high and low, and bowed upwards to pay respects.

In the official case in the lobby, Zhang Shen was wearing armor and sitting upright, waiting for all the generals to pay their respects, he said, "Do all the generals know what happened recently?"

The one with the left hand took a step forward, and said: "Young generals and others have heard of it a lot, it is the rumors in Chang'an city."

Zhang Shen touched his three mouse whiskers and two golden fish eyes, moving back and forth, and said, "That's not bad. Commander Huanqing seems to have surrendered. Chang'an has become an isolated island, and the rest of Guanzhong belongs to the Liangshan army. All. Liu Xianggong has been frowning for many days, trying hard to think of a good plan, but he can't find a good plan." The hearts of everyone in the hall jumped suddenly, and even the soldiers standing on both sides changed their expressions.

"There are still tens of thousands of people in the city of Chang'an, even the government servants and others who don't have family property. Now dozens of prefectures and counties in Guanzhong have all belonged to Daqi. Chang'an is an isolated city because of Liu Xianggong and tens of thousands of soldiers. The horses are stationed, so they have to preserve for many days. However, the enemy is outnumbered, and a short-term stalemate is acceptable. If you stick to it for a long time, how will you keep the city without mentioning soldiers? Just talk about the food, rice, etc. in the city, how much will it skyrocket? If more than [-] people in this city are rioting, how can Chang'an City still be defended?"

Zhang Shen sighed, as if he had really worried about the city for many days. "Yesterday, I made contact with the outside of the city. Lu Qi advised me to be a hero who knows the current affairs and dedicate this city. Everyone's past crimes will be forgotten, and the people will not be disturbed at all. From time to time, the army besieged the city and trapped the enemy. Going down in March and May, I am afraid that countless souls will be starved to death. At that time, they were slaughtering into the city, and the people still did not offend them, but they did not spare the defenders. Everyone’s life, but you wait What do you think?"

After he finished speaking, he just looked at the crowd. Everyone was silent, looking at each other from left to right, looking at each other in bewilderment.In the end, it was Zhang Shen who said: "I have decided to submit to Da Qi. If the generals have no objections, they will listen to my orders." After saying such unfaithful and shameless words, Zhang Shen seemed to suddenly feel missing. A huge boulder.A kind of relaxation that comes from the heart, making him feel comfortable enough to make a sound.

The next day, under the northern city of Chang'an, a banquet was in full swing.

Among them, the landlord, Zhao Bin's face was flushed, he had already drank a lot, and he seemed a little drunk.He opened his mouth and said: "Bin is a native of Jingzhao Mansion. He was under the command of the old master. He went south and north to discuss, ups and downs. He dare not complain at all. Both parents, brothers, sisters, wives and children are there, but now they are all in the hands of thieves. Grieve for parents, think about brothers, wives and children, stick to the lonely city, have thousands of words in my heart but can't say..."

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.Zhao Bin, Li Yi, and Xu You, two generals who were guarding the north gate, did not dare to utter a single complaint. It was not until Zhao Yi's figure flashed outside the house that Zhao Bin seemed drunk. The more excessive.

"General Zhao, shut up. Liu Xianggong is He and others, how can we praise and criticize?" Li Yi could hold back at first, but after waiting for a while, he saw that Zhao Bin was still "full of nonsense", and the more he said The more explicit, he immediately shouted.Put the bowl of wine in his hand on the table, and shouted at Zhao Bin loudly, "Do you want to die?"

"Hahaha, General Li's words are serious." Xu You laughed. He deeply sympathized with Zhao Bin's words, but his parents and relatives were in Chang'an City.After taking over the conversation, "General Zhao is just complaining about his parents and relatives. Mr. Liu values ​​love and righteousness, so how can he kill someone for such a trivial matter."

Zhao Bin laughed, and glanced at Xu You thoughtfully. "Brother Xu is still interested, and it's what I want."

"Hahaha, come here, Zhao Mou will treat Brother Xu with a bowl." Zhao Binru didn't seem to take Li Yi's scolding seriously at all.Pick up the wine bowl to respect Xu Youyi, and then drank it down.

Xu You picked up the wine bowl and drank it all. He was about to speak, but he heard a "click" sound, and it was Zhao Bin who dropped the wine bowl.

Throwing a cup as a sign, what a well-known scene.Hearing the clattering sound of armored swordsmen colliding outside, Li Yi jumped up, pulled out the saber at his waist, and pointed it at Zhao Bin. "You, you actually..." Li Yi pointed at Zhao Bin with trembling fingers.

There was only a faint smile on the latter's face. "If General Li doesn't want to die, he can put down his weapons. Chang'an City is about to change today, and there is no way to stop it." Zhang Shen is a powerful figure, with tens of thousands of troops under his direct control.Even though Liu Fa raised his head and grew up, he has already checked and balanced it, but if he raises his arms, the gates that open are not limited to the North City.

"Huh, huh, huh!" There was the sound of armored willow leaves colliding, and Zhao Yi led more than 30 people into the room, aiming all their spears and knives at Li Yi.

As if being strangled by the neck, Li Yi's face was flushed, his mouth was opened wide, but he couldn't make a sound.The fire-breathing eyes scanned the group of people in the big tent, and slowly calmed down the anger in his chest. He glanced at Zhao Bin with cold eyes, and he was arrested without a fight.
