Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Shi Congyun is located in the central army, and the two wings of the army are tight and powerful. Besides the famous flag of the king of Qin, the handsome flag, and the square flag for command, there are also the flags of dragon, tiger, crane, iron horse, and red bird. Long Jie, Hu Jie, Kong He, Iron Cavalry, and Shenhuo armies.

Suddenly I feel a little fancy....

Seeing such a scene, the accompanying civil servants of the Privy Council couldn't help feeling overwhelmed, and chanted:

"The beacon fire shines on Xijing, and I feel uneasy.

Yazhang resigned from Fengque and rode around Dragon City.

The snow is dark withered and the flag is painted, and the wind is full of jumbled drums.

Better to be a centurion than a scholar..."

Shi Congyun glanced at him and said with a smile: "Scholars are not useless, the only ones to be afraid of are those who study hard.

If you think about Li Gu, Li Gong was able to lead troops to fight and govern the country in peace, and the officials asked him to lead troops, raise troops, and stay in the capital, even if the Yellow River flooded, let Li Gong govern.

He is also a Jinshi, a scholar, and he has made great achievements; don't belittle yourself, and you can't make a car behind closed doors. The so-called civil and military boundaries, but everyone insists on adding it, sometimes it doesn't have to be so serious. "

"Thank you, Commander, for waking me up!" He thanked again and again, regaining his energy.

.......

Zhao Chongtao stared closely at the densely packed enemy army below the city, and felt a little dizzy for a while.

The news that Damantianzhai was breached arrived yesterday, so they immediately sealed off the city gates and transferred the defenders outside the city into the city.

The next day Zhou Guo's army really came, but the strict formation below, and the deployment and dispatch of everyone as one, made him terrified and sweating, and the successive defeats also made the soldiers dejected and frightened, although no one said , but everyone seems to think that it is not Zhou Jun's opponent...

This kind of atmosphere does not need to be said, but it can be subtly felt.

Zhao Chongtao looked from a distance, and the commander-in-chief flag of the Chinese army below was particularly conspicuous. Under the commander's flag was a mighty young man covered in armor and riding a tall horse. No need to guess, Zhao Chongtao knew that it must be the legendary Qin King Shi Congyun .

The commander-in-chief flag and famous flag behind him all indicate his identity. In the past six or seven years, he has fought in the South and the North, and has a great reputation. He is also regarded as a military god with mixed reputation in Shu.

Those who admired him said that he fought south and north, strategized without a single defeat, and the Khitan people were also defeated by him. Moreover, he was kind to the prisoners of war in Shu, Huainan, Jingchu and other places, and he did not kill them indiscriminately. Countless people, many are grateful for his life.

There are two kinds of slander, one is naturally because this person is likely to become their enemy.

The other is to verbally criticize Shi Congyun's virtues, saying that he has no conscience in doing things. It is said that he is capturing Huainan, crossing the Yangtze River and approaching Jinling. Going back to Daliang to be a concubine is simply not something human would do.

In short, there have been many discussions. After all, in these years, no matter what they say is good or bad, Shi Congyun is destined to be the most popular figure in the world, and he has also stirred up the world.

Meeting here now, on such an occasion, Zhao Chongtao doesn't know whether he is lucky or unlucky.

After a while, he asked the person next to him, "Where is the commander in chief?"

"I don't know, since I heard yesterday that Damantianzhai was breached by Zhou Jun, the commander-in-chief hasn't shown his face."

Zhao Chongtao was worried, "I'm going to meet the commander-in-chief, and now there is only one way to try, which is to stick to the city.

Zhou's army has come from afar, and it is advantageous to fight quickly. We can hold on to the strong city and delay them. "

That's what Zhao Chongtao said in his mouth, what Zhao Chongtao thought in his heart was based on the previous lessons, looking at Zhou Jun's military appearance, and then looking at the morale in the city, going out to fight them is definitely not Zhou Jun's opponent, but as a superior, he knows that such words cannot be said no matter what of.

So he hurriedly got down from the top of the city, rode across the street, and went to the government office to the north to find the commander Wang Zhaoyuan, trying to persuade him.

When he arrived outside Wang Zhaoyuan's temporary residence, he was stopped by someone. After explaining his identity, the concierge went in to report, and soon someone came out, but it was not Wang Zhaoyuan who came, but his staff.

"The commander-in-chief is busy comprehending a good strategy to retreat from the enemy, the general should go back for now."

Zhao Chongtao was a little surprised, Wang Zhaoyuan still has a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?

So he asked: "May I ask the commander-in-chief to understand what is a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"

The staff was quite proud: "You just wait, you don't need to ask, the commander has his own tricks!"

Chapter 277, Not Reading

"I think it will take a month to fight. The Shu army is not very good at fighting. It is certain that there is enough food and grass in the city. We have fought all the way here. The food stored in each town is as high as 50 hu, and Lizhou must not be less.

So the veteran thought that there was bound to be a big battle, and if they wanted to fight, they couldn't fight intermittently, but launched a fierce attack to scare them all at once.

After fighting this way, I feel that they are not good at fighting tough battles, so it is best not to procrastinate, but to defeat them all at once.

It took about a month for Shenhuo to build a large number of siege equipment. After the army rested, they swarmed up and took it all at once. "On the open space outside the city, guards stood on the periphery, Shi Congyun and many generals were discussing how to attack Lizhou.

Because of the previous victories, Wang Quanbin's prestige in the army has greatly increased, and he will speak first at this time.

Shi Congyun asked everyone to sit in a circle. He liked this way of discussion the most, and everyone gradually got used to it.

After Wang Quanbin finished speaking, Shi Congyun looked at everyone, "Is there anyone to add?"

Everyone shook their heads, and Wei Renpu and Pan Mei who caught up later did not speak.

Shi Congyun smiled and said, "Secretary Wei came to tell everyone, after all, you are the minister who oversees military affairs."

Wei Renpu cupped his hands, and also laughed, "How can you understand the old man who fought, but General Wang's words are very reasonable.

The old man can only guarantee one thing, the army just fights, and the rations captured along the way are enough to fight for as long as they want. The old man guarantees that no sergeant will go hungry. "

Everyone laughed. Wei Renpu was not like Fan Zhi and Wang Pu. He was not born in the imperial examination.

"Hahaha, don't make them fat." Shi Congyun also laughed.

Feng Jisheng also stood up over there, cupped his hands and said: "Everyone, I can guarantee that it will not take a month, and [-] days is enough for a certain one. I have many craftsmen in Shenhuo. I just went to see it, and the trees in Dongshan, Lizhou City Very good, there are a lot of ancient trees, as long as there are enough people, it will not be a problem."

"Old Feng can, never let the brothers down!" Someone shouted.

Everyone was booing. Last year, the Shenhuo Army was recognized by everyone in the war against the Liao Kingdom. This time, the Shenhuo Army conquered the mountains and opened roads, built bridges when encountering waters, and won the trust of the soldiers.

It is not easy to get the approval of these arrogant soldiers who have come through the five generations of wars.

Feng Jisheng dared to make such a bold promise and directly cut the time in half. Shi Congyun was also very happy, but he still reminded him: "Don't talk about it when you are happy, there are no jokes in the army."

Feng Jisheng also began to hesitate at this point. The bold words of fifteen days were too much to speak, and it was hard to take them back, so he could only whisper: "If it doesn't rain and the mountain roads don't slip, fifteen days should be fine... .”

Shi Congyun laughed, "I'm afraid you'll blow the cowhide apart, it's still fifteen days away, why don't you go to heaven!

Give you 20 days, and the soldiers will just take a good rest. "

Only then did Feng Jisheng heave a sigh of relief, nodded repeatedly, and then said fearfully, "Don't worry, Commander, it won't work out in 20 days. Let the Commander take my head as he pleases."

"What's the use of taking your head, it's too small to use as a chamber pot, keep it for yourself.

Do this matter well and don't make any mistakes, otherwise the military law will be used. "

Feng Jisheng nodded repeatedly, and everyone burst into laughter, saying that Feng Ji was useless.

But he didn't care about it himself, he scratched his head and laughed, feeling scared; at the beginning, he saw everyone discussing enthusiastically, and he didn't have much experience in fighting in the army, so he talked for fifteen days as soon as his head got hot.

Fifteen days is indeed possible, but we must ensure that the weather will be smooth and rainy for these fifteen days, and there will be no unexpected delays;

Fortunately, the commander-in-chief woke him up with a word. This is an important matter in the army, not a place to brag. Fifteen days of talking is too deadly. If it cannot be done by then, he will be responsible.

After realizing the seriousness, Song Kou couldn't face himself at this time. Fortunately, although the commander scolded him, he changed the time limit to 20 days in one sentence.

My heart is full of admiration and gratitude to the commander-in-chief.

When I came back to my senses, I had to be more cautious in the future, and I couldn't follow them to make a fuss. After all, the affairs in the military were related to the lives of tens of thousands of people, so I couldn't boast about them.

.......

After the dispatch was settled, the armies began to move.

It is a very radical plan to lay down an important town in more than 20 days, not to mention that the main force of the Shu army is stationed in the city.

But obviously the morale of the current Shu army is very low, Lizhou is not as strong as Shouzhou, and the combat experience is not the same.

For places like Hefei, Shouchun, and Xuzhou, the Chinese may not know where they are, but they must have heard of their names more or less, because these places determine the fate of China time and time again.

Although the ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty was weak, the two sides of the Huaihe River had experienced wars and turmoil. As long as they were soldiers from the war, they were not easy to mess with, just like Liu Renshan who led the soldiers to guard Shouchun for more than a year.

There is also Zhang Yanqing in history, who led more than 1000 people and was trapped in Chuzhou for more than 40 days, forcing Zhou's tens of thousands of troops to have no choice but to suffer heavy casualties.

It's not that the Southern Tang was invincible, it's just that the ruler was weak.

But the situation on the side of the Shu Army is really different. The Shu Kingdom has not fought a war for almost 30 years. After fighting all the way, it is obvious that the fighting will is far inferior to that of the Southern Tang Army, and it is even more incomparable with the Liao Army.

In this case, the method Wang Quanbin said is feasible. If you don't fight, you will be fine. If you fight, you will directly break the opponent's will to fight, and you won't be able to fight a protracted battle.

Liu Renshan in Shouzhou fought for more than a year, and many soldiers and soldiers can vividly remember it, and they have a headache when thinking about it, so everyone does not want to have such a situation.

But everyone has a tacit understanding that Lizhou will not become Shouzhou, which may be a judgment made along the way.

Whether the opponent can fight and whether they have morale, as the opponent who is fighting, he knows best.

Everyone seemed to look down on these soldiers, thinking that the Shu soldiers were all rats, but Shi Congyun knew that this was not chosen by humans. Many of these Shu troops came from the northern part of Guanzhong and Qin to seek refuge, and they still had no morale.

At this point in this battle, the victory is almost certain. Everyone is full of confidence, and the main reason is that morale has improved.

In the history of the Kingdom of Shu, no power aspiring to the top of the world was born.

The only one who is somewhat similar is Liu Bang from Chu, but Liu Bang did not rely on Shu soldiers to conquer the world. Beiding Guanzhong mainly relied on the tens of thousands of Chu troops he brought to Hanzhong, relying on the homesickness of Chu troops, Go straight out of Guanzhong.

After arriving in Guanzhong, Liu Bang relied on Qin soldiers. On the one hand, Liu Bang entered Guanzhong, returned the army to dominate, abolished harsh laws, agreed with three chapters, pardoned Qin Prince Ying, and even prepared to become the queen of Guanzhong with Ziying as a relative. Get the hearts of the original Qin people.

On the other hand, Xiang Yu massacred the surrendered soldiers of the Qin army and plundered Xianyang, causing the people of Qin to hate him deeply, and they were willing to work hard with Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.

Liu Bang seems to have walked the road of Qin's unification of the world again.

And the land of Shu still plays the role of a logistics granary, which is where the blessings and misfortunes of this place lie. The blessing is that the mountains protect the Kingdom of Shu, and the root of the disaster is that the mountains close the Kingdom of Shu.

When the world is in chaos, everyone wants to go to Shu to avoid disaster, use the mountains as a screen, and try to protect themselves.

But because of its closed nature, it is often difficult to do anything. When the world is settled, the foreign army comes, and the land of Shu can't resist.

In fact, this is also very good, it is a good thing for the people of Shu, but the premise is that there is no tragedy like Huguang filling Sichuan.

What Shi Congyun is most concerned about now is how Li Chuyun's East Route Army is doing. They agreed to be in Chengdu, but the distance is too far, and communication is a big problem. There is no way to coordinate. We can only trust Li Chuyun and others. ability.

On that day, the army settled outside the city, and then got busy.

The combat deployment and general policy of the entire army were also finalized, and the army began to swagger outside Lizhou City to rest.

But something that Shi Congyun and the generals did not expect happened at noon the next day.

At noon the next day, Shi Congyun was about to go to Dongshan with Feng Jisheng to see the actual situation, but someone came to report in a hurry, saying that it was the envoy of the Shu army.

Shi Congyun was surprised, and Feng Jisheng and others beside him were also surprised, and then said: "Are they going to surrender?"

He also thought of going with the others, and sent envoys at this time, could it be that he was unable to fight and wanted to surrender.

Soon the envoy came in under the leadership of his own soldiers. The visitor was dressed as a scribe, but he looked calm in the camp, and then he bowed his hands and said, "Excuse me, is this the King of Zhou and Qin?"

Shi Congyun nodded, "Speak directly if you have something to say."

The other party took out a letter from his bosom and presented it with both hands: "I will send the letter to King Qin for the commander in chief."

Shi Congyun took it over, and directly opened it to look.

After looking at it for a while, he wondered if his eyes were dazzled, so he handed it to the people next to him, who couldn't believe it.

Because this letter is not a surrender, nor a peace, but a letter of war!

Shi Congyun didn't know what Wang Zhaoyuan was thinking for a while, you said you defend the city well, at least it's safe, so you take the initiative to fight?

"Your commander... are you awake?" Shi Congyun asked tactfully.

The envoy said very seriously: "Please take care of the King of Qin. Everything is fine, Commander. Our Commander has read military books and is full of strategies. Will the King of Qin dare to fight?"

The general beside him was confused and angry, and was about to scold the envoy, but Shi Congyun stopped him: "Go back and tell your commander, I will definitely fight, so he can prepare for it."

Afterwards, the envoy surrendered and left very proudly. Many people were aggrieved, but Shi Congyun didn't pay much attention.

He has been recalling the things about Wang Zhaoyuan in his mind these days. He has read a lot of history books, but there is nothing about Wang Zhaoyuan. After thinking about it slowly, he realized why he didn't remember it.

He thought that Wang Zhaoyuan, as a member of the Privy Council of the Kingdom of Shu, commanded the army of the North Road, so he was also an extremely personable minister, he should have a separate biography, and he should be a person with a long history.

He recalled according to this train of thought, but he was naturally wrong and couldn't remember.

Later, when I thought about it by chance, I remembered that there were only a few words about Wang Zhaoyuan in history. It stands to reason that this person commanded the army on the North Road of Shu Kingdom and also managed the Privy Council. It's really useless, and the historian doesn't know what to write about him.

Shi Congyun also recalled some keywords, such as being familiar with military books, comparing himself to Zhuge, and Lizhou losing three battles and three defeats.

Before, he thought that his memory was messed up, and he always felt that he had made a mistake, and he might have recorded other people's deeds on Wang Zhaoyuan.

Because according to his actual situation after the inspection of Lizhou, although Lizhou is not as good as Shouzhou, it is also a strong city. Wang Zhaoyuan defended the important town of Lizhou, how could he lose three battles with Wang Quanbin? The battle failed.

Now Shi Congyun suddenly realized that it might not be that he remembered wrongly, there is another possibility, that is, Wang Zhaoyuan thinks he is familiar with military books, full of strategies, and compares himself to Zhuge Liang, so he must show off his formation It's my job.

So there was an invitation to fight, which made him and many generals of the Zhou army a little confused. What age is this, is it still in the Spring and Autumn Period?As soon as Wang Zhaoyuan took the initiative to fight, wouldn't he be able to lose three battles and be taught by Wang Quanbin to be a man?

The more Shi Congyun thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, so he ordered Shao Ji to bring out the elite cavalry to prepare for the battle tomorrow morning.

At noon the next day, Shi Congyun led three thousand generals to wait at the south gate. Sure enough, he saw the Shu army leaving the city, and then began to line up in front of the city gate. There was a figure, who seemed to be directing the soldiers below.
