my wife is mulan

At this time, a torch was planted on the wall of the tunnel at intervals of three feet. Soldiers with swords and crossbows stood on both sides. Su Ji's troops would go to the lowest point, and some sloped tunnels lead to the ground. The sword master nodded to the tooth master next to him: "Go!"

"Yes!" Yazhu walked up the slope tunnel with a sword in his hand, and soon reached the top. There was a wooden plank at the top. He pushed the wooden plank away, and a piece of grass on the ground was overturned. He quickly went out and held a weapon to guard.

This is a yard close to the city wall. The yard belongs to a civilian family. After the civilians withdrew, it became a temporary resting place for the defenders, but the defenders all went up the city wall to defend the city. There were only a few wounded soldiers in the house. .

After a few people got out of the tunnel, they quickly began to approach the house. As the follow-up soldiers got out, the people in front quickly rushed into the room to deal with several wounded soldiers.

More and more soldiers came out of the tunnel. Half an hour later, the general who led the troops waved his hand, "Follow me to the city wall, let's go!"

At this time, the city wall was almost unable to hold on, and Chen Xian also killed the enemy until his hands and feet became numb and he couldn't control him anymore. He didn't know how long he could hold on, but he could only hold on until he couldn't hold on anymore!

"Kill!" Behind him came the shouts of the soldiers entering the city from the tunnel.

This sound made Chen Xian's body stop, and when he looked back, he saw countless soldiers rushing up the city wall holding torches. He suddenly felt a pain in his chest, his mind was stunned, his eyes darkened, and he fell straight up.

As more and more cadres attacked the city wall from behind, the defenders finally couldn't hold on and were killed one after another. In less than two, the east city wall was completely captured.

The city is broken!

Chapter 1023 Yong'an is in danger

There were corpses and blood everywhere on the city wall. The ministers said: "By the way, such a big city cannot live without people, so it can't just be abandoned like this? I think those people should not have gone far, after all, if I really can't live any longer, and no one will leave their hometown easily, after all, the homeland is hard to leave! Li Song, you will be in charge of Yizhou affairs for the time being, first send someone to tell the people hiding nearby, let them all come back, they The house is still theirs, their land is still theirs, we are in the army and don’t eat people! In addition, the government affairs in various parts of Yizhou must be answered as soon as possible, write to Chang’an, and select some officials to come and govern the local area!”

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhao Junsheng asked again: "Lin Jinghui, how is the situation with Lu Shuang?"

Lin Jinghui replied: "Return to Your Majesty, I haven't received any news yet!"

"Closely!"

"Yes, as soon as there is news, I will report it to His Majesty immediately!"

The moon in Sichuan is too hot, it’s like a stove, the ministers are all too hot, and they can’t bring their followers when they follow the army. Now the conditions in this city are limited, and they can only fan the wind desperately with fans, and they have to spend a lot of time. Handle business.

Zhao Junsheng, on the other hand, was drinking tea leisurely while watching, leaving the ministers to do the work.

Lin Jinghui hurried in and reported: "Your Majesty, there is news from Lu Shuang that the army of the Southern Dynasty is attacking Baidi City!"

Zhao Junsheng stood up. This matter is serious. Although there are more than 4 people from Lu Shuang in Yong'an City, defending the city is different from attacking the city. It may not be able to hold on.

"Decree, let Li Bao come to see me!"

"promise!"

Soon, Li Bao came in, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

Zhao Junsheng nodded and said: "That's right, I asked you to come to gather people and make preparations, and I will leave for Yong'an tomorrow!"

What?To Wing On?How can this work?When the ministers heard this, they put down what they were doing and stood up one by one. Dongfang Chen cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this... is this decision too hasty? Yong'an is too dangerous now, please Your Majesty, think twice!"

Li Song also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, if you agree with the national teacher, please think twice!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers believe that General Lu Shuang is capable of blocking the army of the Southern Dynasty. Your Majesty does not need to worry too much. Your Majesty must believe that General Lu Shuang can solve this matter. If His Majesty goes to Yong'an in person at this time, it will give Lu Shuang brings a lot of pressure and burden!"

Chapter 1024 Berkshire

Zhao Junsheng's consideration is that if he personally leads the troops to Yong'an to visit the front line, it will definitely boost morale, and it will also allow Asano Yamashita to shift his sight and focus to the front line of Yong'an instead of always staring at Chengdu.

However, the considerations of Dongfang Chen, Li Song and other ministers are not unreasonable. If he leads troops to Yong'an, it can certainly boost the morale of the frontline soldiers, but it will invisibly bring Lu Shuang, the general of the army The pressure will make him restrain his hands and feet, and he will inevitably lose sight of one thing and lose another when commanding operations.

Zhao Junsheng thought about it comprehensively, and said to the ministers: "What Zhu Qing said is not unreasonable, how about it, I won't go to Yong'an to cause trouble for Lu Shuang, and limit his hands and feet invisibly, but I can't wait forever In Chengdu City, I decided to go to Berkshire to have a look, it is not far from Yong'an, and it is also the border area between our forces and the territory of the Southern Dynasty, if I go there, I can also put pressure on the Southern Dynasty to a certain extent!"

Dongfang Chen looked at the map. If the emperor went to Bajun, there would be soldiers from Sima Chuzhi and Liang Yi in the north threatening Xiangyang, Huainan and other places. From the point of view of the strategic attack situation, it is absolutely possible to send reinforcements to the Southern Dynasty. If 5 troops were encircled by bottom-hunting, it would be fine if the [-] Song soldiers from the Southern Dynasty ran fast. To the south of the Song Army, the leader of the Song Army might be scared to death, right?

He immediately said: "Since your Majesty has this plan, I suggest that you issue an order to Sima Chu to order the main force of the army to contain the defenders in Xiangyang, and then send Qingqi around the cities and go south to cut off the retreat of the [-] reinforcements from the Southern Dynasty. Surrounding the [-] Song troops can also scare them out of their courage, so that we can not only solve Yong'an's predicament, but also turn passive into active in the military!"

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at the map, pondered for a while, and immediately said: "Okay, let's do it like this! Come here and pass an order to Sima Chuzhi, ordering him to use the main force to contain the Song Dynasty defenders on the front line of Xiangyang, and send another [-] Qingqi quickly Go south to Dangyang, when this light cavalry arrives in Dangyang, I want to see if the [-] reinforcements from the Song Army can still attack Yong'an with peace of mind! By the way, who is the commander of the [-] Song Army?"

Lin Jinghui stood up and replied, "Return to Your Majesty, the chief commander of the Song Army is General Xiao Sihua!"

The leading generals and guard generals during the Northern and Southern Dynasties were not miscellaneous generals.Especially in the Southern Dynasties, the leading generals were in charge of the forbidden army. If the senior officer was not qualified enough, but he was required to be in charge of the forbidden army, he would be appointed as the leader of the central army;

"Oh? It's him!" Zhao Junsheng knew about Xiao Sihua. This person was a little older than him, but not a few years older.

"Then this matter is settled. I will set off early tomorrow morning. If you feel that the mountain road is bumpy, you can stay in Chengdu and return to Chang'an after the Sichuan and Shu affairs are over. You can also go to Berkshire with me!"

What are you kidding?If you stay in Chengdu City, how long can this official remain?

Of course, the ministers and ministers cannot say that they don’t want to stay in Chengdu because they don’t want to be exhausted. If so, I’m afraid that they will fall out of favor in the future, and this official career will come to an end. The relationship between the monarch and his ministers still needs to be maintained. They had to follow wherever they went, and they couldn't leave a bad impression in the emperor's heart.

The next day, Zhao Junsheng only took 1000 Dragon Guards, [-] cavalry, and ministers to Berkshire. The rest of the troops stayed in Chengdu.

During the Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, the administrative jurisdiction of Ba County had shrunk a lot, but it was basically within the scope of today's Chongqing. However, its seat was still in Jiangzhou, and it was renamed Ba County in the Sui Dynasty.

The entire Sichuan and Shu provinces have not been captured by the Gan army for a long time. At this time, they are still in the period of military control. Most of the officials appointed from Chang'an are still on the way at this time, and even the main officials of many counties and counties have not yet been appointed.

Duan Changyan, the commander in charge of Berkshire's military and political affairs, is in charge of both the army and the people at this time. Government affairs were out of control, but he managed those former Song officials who surrendered obediently. Don't let anyone fool him.

At the beginning Zhao Junsheng led the army to pursue Song General Li Danbu, he sent Yang Dayan to block his retreat and wiped him out in one fell swoop, and then sent a thousand-man team to advance eastward, and the leader of the thousand-man team was Duan Changyan.

Zhao Junsheng's original intention was to let Duan Changyan lead troops eastward to threaten Berkshire, and he never got the safety of the main body of the guarding army in the outer periphery of the east, but he didn't expect Duan Changyan to march all the way to the city of Jiangzhou with troops and horses. At that time, Jiangzhou's defense was already empty. , unable to defend the city at all, the officials in the city opened the city gate and surrendered after deliberation. In this way, Duan Changyan captured Jiangzhou without a single soldier, and within a few days he recruited some miscellaneous troops in the city. No, but it is still very capable to be a dog's leg and bully the common people.

Duan Changyan supervised these miscellaneous soldiers with two hundred soldiers to maintain the law and order inside and outside Jiangzhou city and city defense, and then sent troops to attack the various counties under the jurisdiction of Berkshire. The officials of those counties learned that the officials of Jiangzhou, the prefecture, had surrendered. Where do they have the courage to defend the city?So one after another opened their doors to surrender, and Duan Changyan easily captured the entire Berkshire.

Don't look at Duan Changyan as a rough man in the army, but a rough man has the shrewdness and small wisdom of a rough man. He used his own little wisdom to break up all the defenders in the counties under the Berkshires and reorganize them, and then exchanged defense zones with each other. , and sent his own generals to supervise them. These former Song soldiers did not dare to act rashly at all, and could only be obedient.

At this time, the official road from Chengdu City to Jiangzhou City is not very easy. After leaving Chengdu, the journey for the first three days was relatively smooth. After marching for more than a hundred miles, but after three days, they began to cross mountains and ridges. The mountain road was high and low, up and down, and it took five days to complete the second half of the journey.

A messenger had already spread the news to the prefect's mansion of Ba County in Jiangzhou. After Duan Changyan got the news, he immediately called the officials to arrange the meeting.

When Zhao Junsheng, military officials and accompanying guards arrived outside Jiangzhou City, Duan Changyan led the main officials of the Bajun prefect's mansion and county government and the people in the city out of the city to meet them.

Yang Lie said to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, Duan Changyan brought all the officials and common people here to meet him! It seems that Duan Changyan has managed Berkshire and Jiangzhou well. It's hard for him, a rough man in the army, to do such a thing. I am afraid that I have racked my brains and scratched a lot of hair because of worrying about the meticulous work!"

"Hahaha" Zhao Junsheng laughed loudly, reined in his horse and stopped, since Duan Changyan brought people to greet him, he didn't need to go any further.

Duan Changyan led the officials over to bow down and said: "The last general, Duan Changyan, led 36 officials of various sizes from the prefect's mansion of Bajun County and the county government, and the people of the whole city to welcome His Majesty!"

"Welcome Your Majesty!" The officials and common people knelt down on the ground.

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "All the officials and people should be flattened!"

Under the leadership of Duan Changyan, the officials all stood up, but the common people were still kneeling. They had no right to stand in front of the emperor.

Duan Changyan said: "Your Majesty, the last general has ordered someone to prepare a palace in the city, and the accompanying ministers and ministers also have houses. There are also large houses around the palace for the guards and soldiers to camp. They can take on the task of guarding nearby. The cooks can make their own fire and cook, which is very convenient!"
