Reborn Yue Feizhi returns my rivers and mountains

On this day, Wang Zhen led his troops to patrol the city. Passing by the camp, he saw the soldiers lying on the ground. He was about to scold them, but he saw that they were haggard, their breath was weak, and their eyes were slightly closed.I couldn't bear it, so I asked the people around me: "How much food and grass are there in the army? Why are the soldiers so hungry?"

The guard on the side smiled bitterly and said: "Taiyuan has been besieged for more than [-] days, and the food and grass in the city have been exhausted. At first, each person could eat two taels of brown rice a day, and then it was changed to one meal every three days. Now I am afraid that it is difficult to survive for five days." A meal. Many weak soldiers died suddenly."

After hearing this, Wang Zhen shed tears unconsciously and sighed: "Since the Jin people came to attack, the imperial court failed to rescue several times, so that Taiyuan has become an isolated city. I want to be loyal to the country, but I have made all my brothers suffer from hunger." "Bitterness. I still have a few beloved horses at home. Please go to my house to fetch them and kill them for food."

The people on the left and right advised: "The general rides on horseback every day to assist the city gates in Taiyuan. If there are no horses, how can we meet the enemy?"

Wang Zhen said: "If Taiyuan is lost, even if I have thousands of furniture, what use will I keep? And now the army will be exhausted, and it will be difficult to get out of the city to meet the enemy. In the streets and alleys, the war horses will be useless. On the contrary, It is better to save the brothers."

After a while, Wang Zhen's beloved horse was brought in and slaughtered on the spot, divided into large pots and cooked.After a while, the broth was finished, and the king ordered the sergeants in various camps to help each other and come here to divide the meat.

When all the troops came and heard that it was the king who loved the horse, they all shed tears and refused to take the meat.Seeing this, Wang Zhen shouted: "Now the city is out of food. All the brothers have been defending the city for nearly nine months. Now that the food and grass are exhausted, the Jin army is still under the city. If they refuse to eat, I am afraid that in a few days, there will be no more food at the top of the city." He who defends the enemy. The troops listened to the order and quickly divided the meat to regain their spirits so that they could behead the golden man and the dog!" After saying this, he used his sword to fork out a piece of meat from the pot, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and said with a smile. : "It's a little bland." The soldiers around him broke down in tears and laughed, so they divided the meat and ate it.

After a few days, all the cattle, horses, donkeys, mules, pigs, dogs, chickens and sheep in the city were eaten. In desperation, the generals had no choice but to eat beef tendons, bow strings, saddle leather and the like.The people in the city could only eat chaff and dry firewood. If they couldn't bear the hunger, they would dig holes in the ground and look for rats to eat.

On this day, Wang Zhen was patrolling the city. Suddenly he saw flags waving in the distance and smoke billowing. He quickly ordered the troops to stand up to meet the enemy.Not long after, the army was seen arriving and arrayed under the city. Nianhan flashed out from the center of the army. When he saw Wang Zhen from a distance, he clapped his horse and came to the front of the array.

Nianhan looked at Wang Zhen on the top of the city and said: "General Wang, it has been almost nine months since your and our armies faced each other here. Taiyuan City has been surrounded by our army like an iron barrel. Presumably the food and grass in the city have been exhausted, and the sergeants are all hungry. Are you getting intolerable? I know that the general is loyal and righteous and will not surrender, but does the general not care about the life and death of his soldiers? If the city is opened at this time, I will send the general grain and grass to relieve the plight of the soldiers and civilians in the city. I don’t know what the general can do. Do all the people in the city sacrifice small things to maintain righteousness?"

Wang Zhen, who was on the top of the city, laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "You are untrustworthy people. What happened before the soldiers and civilians of Shuozhou were killed in the trenches is still vivid in my mind. Now you are using these words to influence the hearts of our soldiers. It is really wishful thinking." ! When reinforcements come, I will teach you to lie down under the city with your corpses, and Wang will definitely behead you personally!"

Nianhan sneered and said: "Now that things have come to this, you still want reinforcements? I'm not afraid to tell you. A few days ago, our army captured Weisheng, Longde, Fenzhou, Jincheng, Zezhou and Jiangxian." Down, all the cities you passed were surrendered by the wind. Even if you defend Taiyuan, you can only stand alone. What impact will it have on the overall situation? If you listen to the advice, quickly open the city to surrender. If you don't listen, when the city is broken, chickens and dogs will Do not stay!"

Wang Xun cursed loudly: "You thieves want to steal the prosperity of our Central Plains. You have betrayed your trust and raised an army to attack. Taiyuan City has been fighting bloody battles for nine months. The soldiers and people in the city have long been determined to die. If you want us to open the city, it is nothing more than a dream!" After that, he turned around and shouted to the soldiers and civilians behind him: "I am willing to live and die with Taiyuan. Are there any of you who are willing to surrender?"

Although the soldiers and civilians behind them were all sallow and thin, they used all their strength at this moment to make a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami: "I swear to the death! I will not surrender!"

Wang Zhen laughed loudly at Nianhan and said, "Do you know the heart of the martyr from Hedong?"

Nian Han's face was ashen and he turned around. After a while, dozens of cannons were pushed out from the front of the formation, and dozens of Dongzi and Goose carts were pushed out together to attack Taiyuan City.Upon seeing this, Wang Zhen quickly organized soldiers and civilians to resist.

During this siege, Nianhan had already killed his soldiers. If Taiyuan could not be conquered, all soldiers and generals would be beheaded in front of the battle.So the Jin soldiers were not afraid of death and charged towards the city wall one after another.

I saw the sky full of rocks and cannons raining down on the city. Suddenly, fires broke out everywhere in the city, and the cries of the people resounded through the sky.On the top of the city, the Song soldiers used all their strength to throw gravel at the siege Jin soldiers, and used long ropes to pull down the goose cart.But at this time, all the sergeants in the city were hungry. After several months of siege, the defenders in the city were reduced to ten or seventy-eight. At this time, the troops were already stretched thin, so the Jin soldiers attacked the city from a small number and started fighting with the Song soldiers. .

The battle lasted for a day and night. The Jin army came to attack several times, but was repelled by Wang Zhen's army. However, the army was helplessly outnumbered. The battle continued until noon. Several people came to report that the city gate had been lost and that the Jin army had entered the city.When Wang Zhen saw that the city wall was difficult to defend, he led more than a hundred warriors to retreat to the urn in the city and defend it again.

While marching, the guards came to report that the north gate had been breached. The prefect Zhang Xiaochun and the judge Fang Ji were unable to retreat in time and were captured by the Jin soldiers. Now the Jin soldiers have broken through the Wengcheng at the north gate and attacked.Wang Zhen was shocked and quickly led his people to the government office to fight with Jin Bing in the street.

When they arrived at the Yamen, they saw Jin soldiers swarming in. Wang Zhen led his army to fight to the death. Although dozens of people were killed, all the warriors around him had been killed or injured, and only a dozen people were left to protect Wang Zhen and his son Wang Xun in a fight to the death.

Seeing that more and more gold men were gathering, they advised each other: "The general, with his body of thousands of gold, has been guarding Taiyuan for nearly nine months, and has been loyal to the country, but that's all. Now that the city has been destroyed, a few of them are willing to die to protect the general and the young master from leaving the city." "

Wang Xun said sternly: "The army and people of Taiyuan are not afraid of death. I am the general manager of Bingzhou. How can I abandon my father and live alone?" Then he turned to Wang Xun and asked, "Are you afraid of death?"

Wang Xun chopped down the attacking Jin soldiers with one sword and laughed loudly: "My son died together with his father. He is loyal, filial, and righteous. He will definitely leave his name in history. There is nothing to be afraid of!"

After hearing his son's words, Wang Zhen also laughed and said: "If you have a son like this, what more can I ask for!" Then he led the people to resist to the death, fought and retreated, and came to the lobby of the government office.

At this time, the Jin soldiers' offensive paused for a moment, and Wang Xun stationed his sword to take a breath. Suddenly the Jin soldiers dispersed, and Nianhan walked out surrounded by dozens of guards and said, "With the current situation, General Wang still refuses to surrender? If you don't surrender, I will massacre all the soldiers and civilians in the city."

Wang Xun turned around and straightened his body, looked at several soldiers on the left and right, and said softly: "I have served the country loyally, served the people righteously, and died with a clear conscience. What more can a man ask for in such a life?" Then he lifted up his arms, which were stained with blood. He turned into a black and red tattered robe and gently wiped the curled sword in his hand.

After wiping, Wang Xun raised his sword and pointed it at Nianhan, his eyes widened with anger, and shouted: "Nianhan barbaric dog, if you dare to kill our Taiyuan soldiers and civilians, I will turn into a fierce ghost and take your life!" After that, he put the sword horizontally across his face. With a strong swipe at the neck, blood spurted out, and the body fell backwards.

Seeing Wang Zhen fall to the ground, Wang Xun and the remaining guards on the side burst into tears, and then they also killed themselves with swords and followed Wang Zhen away.At that time, Wang Zhen was 59 years old and his son Wang Xun was 25 years old.

At this point, Taiyuan City finally fell after Wang Zhen and the soldiers and civilians in the city fought desperately for more than 250 days.
