my wife is mulan

After another half an hour, the fighting in the army village had stopped, and all the stubborn Wei troops were wiped out, and Bu Liugufu and some Wei army generals and officials who stayed in the army village were captured.

It was late in the afternoon when everything in the military camp was tidied up and calm was restored, Zhao Junsheng ordered people to go to the camp twenty miles away for Fu Zhan and Liu Xing to come and meet up with the soldiers, horses and luggage left behind.

At this time, Chang Kun also escorted a large number of captives back with soldiers and horses. All the captives were concentrated and detained under heavy guard.

Zhao Junsheng sent people to convene the generals and officials of the various armies to discuss the matter, and these people quickly rushed to the commander's account.

"Next, we have three things to do: first, clean up the battlefield; second, find out the situation in the city; third, we must not let go of the escaped troops, and we must send someone to continue watching to see what he is taking with him. Where did the remnant soldiers go!"

"Lu Shuang will arrange manpower to clean the battlefield, and Shen Hui will be responsible for counting the casualties and counting the seizures; Mr. Dongfang will be responsible for ascertaining the situation in the city. On the one hand, he can interrogate the prisoners, and on the other hand, he can send people to sneak into the city to investigate; as for The scout battalion is in charge of tracking Buliuguli's remnants for the time being, and once the remnants of Buliuguli are out of the scout battalion's scouting range, the black guards will take over, so you can know Buliuguli's movements at any time!"

The ministers and generals who were named stood up together and clasped their hands together and agreed: "Obey!"

There were too many casualties on both sides. It was not until noon the next day that Lu Shuang, who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield, took all the remains of the soldiers away and buried them. The weapons, bows and arrows left on the battlefield were also taken away one by one.

That night, Lu Xuanbo came to report: "Your Majesty, Bu Liuguli took the remnants of the defeated army and headed towards Chang'an. The last news I received was that they passed through Chencang and headed east!"

After hearing this, Zhao Junsheng asked, "Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at the crowd and said, "What do you think Bu Liuguli wants to do when he returns to Chang'an? Is it to continue recruiting troops to compete with our army?"

Shen Hui stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think Bu Liuguli's life in Chang'an will not be easy. Before that, he relied on force to lead the power of the Wei State, but now he has returned after a disastrous defeat in the hands of the Majesty. After ten to seven virtues contacted, I found it basically impossible. This guy is very stubborn. He always thinks that the Wei State is orthodox, and that our intervention in the country is treason, so he refuses to surrender, and he wants to die. In the past two days, he Not eating or drinking, he is on a hunger strike, if this continues, he won't live for a few days!"

Zhao Junsheng was shocked: "Wei Guo still has such a loyal minister? Is he loyal or foolish? Or is he out of his mind and mentally ill?"

Dongfang Chen looked serious, and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, a loyal minister is a loyal minister. There is no such thing as foolish loyalty. In the eyes of outsiders, he may be foolish and loyal. He should not be buried with Wei Guo. This is so stupid that it is not worthwhile to die, but In his opinion, no matter what happens, it is his lifelong principle to be loyal and not to serve two masters!"

Zhao Junsheng was silent for a long time, then he said to Shen Hui: "Write a letter of persuasion, and order the civil servants to copy hundreds of copies and shoot them into the city with bows and arrows!"

Shen Hui agreed: "Yes!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at one of the generals: "General Wang Yu!"

"The end is here!"

"I heard that you found an underground river when you were digging the tunnel. The underground river runs through the underground of Pingliang City. Is that true?"

"Return to Your Majesty, that's right!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at Wang Yu and asked, "Can you dig a tunnel to Pingliang City?"

Wang Yu clasped his fists and replied: "My lord, it should be possible, but we haven't yet estimated how high the underground river is from the ground of Pingliang City. Even if it's not too high, it may take a lot of time to dig a tunnel. Because it is impossible to dig a straight line from bottom to top, you must dig a spiral tunnel!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded after listening: "Gu understands, the new task Gu gave you is to dig such a tunnel, let's enter the city through the tunnel!"

"The last general takes orders!" Wang Yu clasped his fists in agreement and turned around to leave.

After hundreds of letters persuading surrender were shot into the city, there was no news. Zhao Junsheng could only pin his hopes on Wang Yu, hoping that he could dig the tunnel without disturbing the defenders in the city.

For five days in a row, Wang Yu led his soldiers to dig tunnels in the underground river. The entire tunnel went up in a spiral shape. It was not until the night of the fifth day that the tunnel was finally dug through.

After the tunnel was dug, the exit turned out to be in a pigsty in a small courtyard. After a few dry soldiers crawled out from the exit, the pigs screamed in fright, which woke up the owner of the small courtyard. When he came to the pigsty with an oil lamp in his arms, a sharp sword was placed on his neck.

"Oh, don't, don't, don't, my lord, spare your life. If you have anything valuable at home, you can take it. Go and don't hurt my family!" The man thought it was robbers and bandits who broke in, so he screamed in fright. Patrols are frequent, there are many guard posts, and the army gathers outside the city. Which robber dares to come out to work.

The soldier behind said coldly: "If you say one more word, your head will be cut off! Say, who else is in the family?"

"Don't kill, don't kill, there are mother, wife and children at home, a total of four people!"

"Go, go into the house!"

After a while, the family of four was tightly tied up, and cloth strips were stuffed in their mouths to prevent them from yelling.

More than a dozen dry soldiers will come out from the exit of the pigsty, and will soon control the entire small courtyard.

Camp outside the city.

After Shen Hui received the news that the tunnel had been dug, he immediately came to the commander to report to Zhao Junsheng.

"Report to Your Majesty, the tunnel was dug through just now!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Junsheng immediately asked, "Nobody found the exit, is it safe?"

"Wang Yu sent someone to report that the exit was in a pigsty in a small courtyard. They have now controlled a family of four in the small courtyard and the entire courtyard without making any noise!"

Zhao Junsheng was overjoyed: "Okay! Well done! Come here, order the whole army to assemble, and order the generals and ministers accompanying the army to come and discuss matters!"

The discussion is to assign tasks. Li Yuande, who had experience in tunneling, was again ordered by Zhao Junsheng to lead 5000 people into the city from the tunnel to attack at night; each of the four city gates was blocked by a general with 5000 people to prevent the defenders from escaping. On that day, Zhao Junsheng and the ministers accompanying the army stayed in the barracks and took command.

After assigning tasks, Zhao Junsheng asked, "Are you clear about your respective tasks?"

"Clear!"

"Okay, let's start to act! In short, before dawn, I must enter the city!"

"Yes!" The generals clasped their fists in agreement, turned and left one by one.

Li Yuande took the original team and added more than 2000 people to make up 5000 people. Everyone carried knives, guns, bows and arrows. Drill out at the exit.

Under Li Yuande's command, five thousand soldiers and generals quickly took control of two nearby streets, and all the Wei soldiers patrolling and standing guard nearby were killed.

It was time to launch a general attack. Li Yuande quickly issued the attack mission and order. He personally led the team to attack the prefect's mansion at the fastest speed. In less than a moment, the whole Pingliang City was in chaos, and there were shouts of killing everywhere.

Chapter 723

Zhao Junsheng yawned and walked out of the handsome tent. He stretched his limbs, and the morning sun shone warmly on his face.

Fu Zhan walked over quickly and clasped his fists to report: "Your Majesty, Li Yuande sent someone to report that the city has been cleaned up, please enter the city!"

Pingliang City was captured around midnight last night. The defender, Bu Liuguba, was killed when he resisted. A small part of the defenders were killed, and most of them surrendered.

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Okay! Send someone to tell Li Yuande that he will enter the city in an hour alone!"

"Yes!"

After breakfast, Zhao Junsheng left some people in the military camp to take care of the prisoners, food, grass and military supplies, and he took the ministers accompanying the army and the Dragon Guards into the city.

When the army arrived outside the west gate, Zhao Junsheng looked up at the city wall. There was still blood on the city wall from the soldiers who attacked Pingliang City not long ago. The blood had dried up and turned dark brown.

"Mr. Dongfang, has it been a month since we came to Pingliang?" Zhao Junsheng asked.

Dongfang Chen cupped his hands: "It's been one month and five days. It's not easy to take down this Pingliang city! Your Majesty, although our army did not bring heavy siege equipment with us when we attacked Pingliang city this time, we were unable to attack Pingliang city for a long time. It seems that it is not because our army lacks heavy siege equipment, the defender Gao Wende still has some skills in defending the city, otherwise our infantry is proficient in siege tactics and tactics, and the general defender will not be able to stop it at all!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "You are right. I know what you mean. Do you want to plead with Gao Wende and save his life? Is he related to you?"

Dongfang Chen shook his head with a smile and said: "Gao Wende has nothing to do with the minister's half of the money! The reason why the minister pleaded for him is mainly because of his character and talent! Let's not talk about talent, but character, the world can see How many people are there who do not surrender after being captured while the dynasty they are loyal to is about to perish soon? It is a sad thing that a dynasty perishes without even a single martyr. Wei Guo can have Gao Wende like this The number of sacrificial victims shows that it still has merits!"
