my wife is mulan

Hearing this, Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, got up and went to Pang Faqi to help him up, and patted him on the shoulder: "It seems that I am suspicious, and I hope Mr. Pang will not be offended!"

"Don't dare, dare not!" Pang Faqi bowed and cupped his hands.

Zhao Junsheng patted him on the shoulder: "No matter how much discord there is between father and son, it is father and son after all. Blood dissolves in water. When Pang Gong saw the death of his eldest son, he was very sad. This is human nature. I understand it very well." Let’s do this, it’s getting late, Duke Pang and you all go to rest first, and we’ll talk about things tomorrow!”

"General Niu, send someone to prepare tents for Pang Gong and the others, and carry the body of General Pang to the tent next to Pang Gong's camp, and then find a good coffin! According to the decree, bring Mrs. Pang and other family members of Duke Pang over here, so that their family can be reunited, and the daily food and drink are indispensable, and they are fully supplied!"

"I obey the order!" Niu Dali clasped his fists and agreed, turned around and ordered several soldiers to carry Pang Gandang's body out, and then said to Pang Faqi and others: "Pang Gong, everyone, please follow me!"

Chapter 1052

Liu Gun stayed up all night, and the other generals and officials of the Song army who stayed in Jiangxia City also stayed up all night, waiting for news of Pang Gandang.

Not long after the army left the city, the sound of war drums and shouts of killing came from the north. Even though they were far away, they could be heard in Jiangxia City.

On the north gate tower, Liu Gun and other generals and school officials gathered here to wait for the news. The sound of drums and shouts of killing during the battle lasted for more than an hour and then ended. Everyone was very disturbed and contradictory. It is not clear whether I hope that Pang Gandang and others will succeed or that they will fail.

This waited for more than an hour, and the sky was bright, but it still didn't wait for Pang Gandang to send someone to report the victory.

Now Liu Gun understood in his heart, and the other generals and officials also understood in their hearts, there is no need to wait any longer, Pang Gandang must have failed, otherwise it would have been more than an hour without sending someone to report.

Liu Gun held the hilt of his sword and looked at the other officials and generals, saying, "Everyone, I'm afraid General Pang and the others won't be able to come back! There is no hope of breaking through, no reinforcements, and no support from crossing the river. If we stick to it, we can only die. Is there another choice?"

No one made a sound, and everyone knew that they had to choose to surrender, and there was no hope in standing firm. Xiao Bin made it clear in the letter that there was nothing, and it was his fault to let them stick to it until the end and wait for the situation to change. How about coaxing a three-year-old?

But everyone's heart is contradictory and complicated. After serving the Song State for so many years, suddenly surrendering to the Qian State feels like knocking over the five-flavored bottle. It's not a good feeling. Who doesn't want to be a loyal minister?Who is willing to be a traitor?Isn't this overwhelming?

The master Bo Zhuji sighed: "Everyone, there is no one in this world who is not afraid of death, and it is a lie to say that he is not afraid of death, but the current situation has reached this point, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, I, Zhuji, will never choose to surrender. But Marshal Xiao didn't give us any hope, even if he just lied to us and told us to hold on for half a month, there will be reinforcements coming, and I, Zhu Qi, will definitely stick to it to the end, but unfortunately not!"

"General Liu, I don't think it's necessary to persevere any longer. If you persist, you will kill more people. If you wait until the army comes to attack the city, then the killing will be ramped up. Once the city is broken, the high-level officials will be able to calm down the soldiers. If you lose too much anger and indulge the army to slaughter the city, I am afraid that the city will become a hell, and then you and I will become sinners?"

Liu Gun glanced at everyone and asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to stick to it?"

Even if someone didn't want to surrender at this time, he could tell from Liu Gun's tone that this person had already made up his mind to surrender, and no one was still hot-headed and vocal at this time.

An official said: "It seems that the general and all of you have made up your mind to surrender to the army, and I have nothing to say. Since you all have this idea, I will follow the trend. I just want to ask General Liu, if I surrender to the Qianjun, what will happen to my family members in Xiakou? If the court and Marshal Xiao get angry, I'm afraid they will attack them!"

Liu Gun said: "This is indeed a problem. I'm afraid that everyone else has this concern? This general will talk about this general's thoughts and what the court will do. This general does not know, but this general knows that Xiao Bin will never, and also Don't dare to attack my family members, does he have no family members? Who can guarantee that he will not fall into the hands of Gan Jun tomorrow? Over the years, are there still few generals and officials who have surrendered to the Northern Wei Dynasty and Qian State? There are not no officials who surrendered to our court, but have you ever seen the family members of these people being persecuted?"

"To put it bluntly, they all come out to make a living. Why bother wives and children? As long as he, Xiao Bin, dares to attack our family members, and if he or his family members fall into our hands in the future, we will definitely kill him." Let him regret it!"

The official just now said: "The next official has no problem, so I ask the general to take full responsibility and send someone to contact the army to discuss the matter of surrendering the city!"

Liu Gun glanced at the others: "Does anyone have a different idea? If someone wants to leave, I can order someone to open the city gate to let him go, and I promise not to stop him. As for whether he can live after leaving the city, it depends on him." I'm dead!"

No one spoke.

Liu Gun immediately said: "That's good! In fact, the general went to the Ganjun camp yesterday to discuss the matter of surrendering and dedicating the city with General Niu of the Ganjun. We will definitely send troops to take over the city defense! Where is Liang Dagui?"

Liang Dagui stood up and cupped his fists and said, "The end is here!"

"On behalf of Ben, you will go to the Qianjun camp to meet General Niu, and say that I, Liu Gun, have persuaded all the guards and generals in the city to surrender to the Qianjun, and ask General Niu to send someone to receive them!"

"promise!"

······

Dry army camp.

Zhao Junsheng walked in the camp holding the handle of the knife, and Lin Jinghui followed him back to the situation.

"Our army is still confronting Xiao Sihua on Yiling Road. Xiao Sihua launched several sneak attacks, but they were all beaten back by the national teacher and General Lu!"

"Sure enough, Xiao Sihua sent a partial division to attack Jiangzhou. Fortunately, His Majesty issued a decree and warned Jiangzhou. Jiangzhou was prepared so that the Song army did not succeed. The Song army who went to attack did not The Jiangzhou side received the news before entering the Jiangzhou border, and sent troops to set up an ambush in advance, and the Song army lost more than half, and the rest returned along the same route!"

"In addition, this is an investigation report from spies from Bashu. Generally speaking, Bashu territory has gradually stabilized under our control, and prices have gradually declined under our dynasty's entry of a large amount of grain, grass and materials. After the merchants and landlords who had a large amount of food and supplies were disposed of, no one dared to drive up prices!"

Zhao Junsheng took the memorial and looked at it, nodded, returned the memorial to Lin Jinghui and said, "Okay! During this period of time, pay more attention to the news of the Southern Dynasty, especially the news of the Chaotang of the Song Dynasty!"

"promise!"

A civil servant accompanying him quickly came over and reported: "Your Majesty, General Hua who is stranded in the rear has arrived thirty miles away with Sima Chuzhi and Li Bao's army, and will arrive in another hour!"

"Oh? It came quite quickly, it seems that they didn't delay on the way!"

Zhao Junsheng thought of something here, turned his head and asked Lin Jinghui: "Do you know where the Song Army navy who went to attack Hanjinkou two days ago went? Did the black guards check?"

Lin Jinghui clasped his fists and said: "The minister has already sent people to investigate, and news came down yesterday that it will take two days for this Song army navy to reach the entrance of Hanshui River in the waterway in Jingling County!"

Zhao Junsheng thought about it and made a decision in his heart!

Not long after breakfast, Niu Dali came to report: "Your Majesty, good news, Liu Dang sent someone to say that he has controlled all the officials and soldiers in Jiangxia City, and he is waiting for our army to lead the army to receive them!"

"Oh?" Zhao Junsheng felt a little strange. "Last night, Pang Jizhi said that he would surrender to our army. His son Pang Gandang strongly opposed it. Liu Gun also supported Pang Gandang and opposed Pang Faqi's surrender. Now Liu Gun sent someone to say that he would sacrifice the city. , what do you think is going on here?"

Niu Dali touched his neck and said: "Your Majesty also knows that my brain is not good, so don't embarrass me!"

Zhao Junsheng smiled when he heard the words, and after thinking for a while, he ordered: "Go and tell the person Liu Gun sent, that our army will receive it after noon, and let Liu Gun get ready. When our army arrives, all officials in Jiangxia City The guards and the generals must be greeted outside the city, and the defenders in the city will leave one guard at each of the four gates, and all other soldiers will gather outside the north gate, put down their weapons and wait for reorganization!"

"promise!"

An hour later, the army brigade arrived, and the camp that could only accommodate 1000 people naturally couldn't hold tens of thousands of horses, so another camp was set up nearby.

"Veteran Sima Chuzhi (minister Li Bao) pays his respects to His Majesty, Your Majesty is safe!" Sima Chuzhi and Li Bao came to the commander's tent to have an audience.

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "Pingshen!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "You came quite quickly, did the journey go smoothly?"

"Going back to His Majesty, the journey went smoothly. All the counties and counties we passed surrendered. Our soldiers occupied all the towns along the way from Xiangyang to Jiangxia without bloodshed!"

Zhao Junsheng frowned: "How many troops have been divided?"

Li Bao and Sima Chuzhi looked at each other, feeling uneasy, Sima Chuzhi gave Li Bao a wink, Li Bao could only say: "Therefore, there are too many cities along the way and on the left and right, and we have to be busy suppressing the rebel forces, so we divide our troops to speed up Get up to [-]!"

Zhao Junsheng asked: "How many people did you two bring together?"

"Return to Your Majesty, less than ten thousand!"

Zhao Junsheng slapped the desk and asked loudly, "Who told you to divide the troops?"

"Your Majesty, if you don't divide your troops and capture the cities along the way, how can you ensure the safety of the army's supplies and retreat?"

Zhao Junsheng angrily scolded Li Bao: "Have you ever thought about why the commander of the Song Army asked Shen Qingzhi to abandon Xiangyang and withdraw again and again? Of course it is to preserve strength, but another purpose is to divide our troops. The longer the front is dragged, it is indeed right. The logistics pressure is great, but the consequences of dividing troops are even more serious, which seriously weakens our army's front and strength. Once Song Jun knows that we have less than [-] people here, Xiao Bin gathers troops in Xiakou, and then uses the navy to As an aid, it will definitely be able to hit us with a beautiful counterattack! The water network is dense near the big river, and our cavalry has not given full play to its maneuvering advantage, and its combat power is equivalent to a waste of more than half. How can infantry alone defeat their numbers? "

Sima Chuzhi and Li Bao really didn't think so much. If Zhao Junsheng wasn't here, Sima Chuzhi must have considered it more comprehensively. When he learned that Zhao Junsheng had led the army to Jiangxia City, he would have to consider Zhao Junsheng's It is safe, so he must ensure the safety of Zhao Junsheng's rear, and then divide his troops to attack the cities along the way.
