Looking to Chang'an from the North

The terrain of Qinguan is dangerous, and the city is built much higher than other places. The territory is full of ravines, which can be regarded as natural dangers.

This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it has always been in Tianyu's territory. Although it has always been a battleground for military strategists, because Tianyu's national strength is strong and there are many troops, few people dare to covet it.

But no one expected that such a treasure land would be given away by the emperor.

The night Xia Yizheng arrived at Qinguan, he ordered people to set up camp and take a rest.Although Qinguan was not guarded by him, he knew the terrain of all parts of the northern border like the back of his hand, so if he really wanted to attack the city, it would not be considered as an unprepared battle.

In the early morning of the next day, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, Xia Yizheng ordered people to attack the city with fire, stones, and ladders.The first rocket was shot by Xia Yizheng himself, igniting the tooth flag hanging in the center of the tower.

The dental flag has always been the symbol of the commander. Burning the dental flag first will dampen the morale of the army.

Tian Yu's siege was very strong, and the soldiers charged forward almost desperately.The goal of this battle is speed, if you wait for the enemy to react, it will be difficult to attack by force.

Stones were thrown under the city, smashing down countless defenders on the city tower, while thousands of arrows were fired from the city, and one arrow after another overturned the soldiers who were rushing forward and charging.

The city gate of Qinguan opened wide, and soldiers poured out one after another. Guan Heng sent all the troops of Qinguan out of the city to meet the enemy.

Xia Yizheng watched as the middle-aged veteran who took the lead in beheading the soldiers clenched the gun in his hand, and galloped up to meet him.

The two fought back and forth for more than a dozen rounds, but the fight was inseparable and evenly divided.

Guan Heng took a step back with his gun in hand, looked at the countless fallen soldiers around him, and glanced at Tianyu's handsome flag, and said with a smile: "As expected of Tianyu's famous Marquis of Zhenbei, a hero is born as a boy, it seems The old man is really old."

Now that the opponent has stopped, Xia Yizheng definitely can't attack again, "The old general is too famous."

Guan Heng is from the same generation as his father Xia Hongpei. His father has praised this opponent more than once. It is a pity that he was born in two countries, otherwise he would have become close friends with him.Since he is someone his father valued, Xia Yizheng will also give him absolute respect.

Guan Heng made a gesture, and immediately called Jin to withdraw the soldiers from the top of the city tower. He left a sentence, "Xia family boy, Qin Guan is no better than the other places. Even if your father is still there, it may not be able to take it smoothly." Then he led everyone into the city. .

Xia Yizheng looked at his back and said loudly, "Then just wait and see."

Although Guan Heng withdrew his troops in time in this battle, due to lack of precautions in the early stage, the losses were quite heavy, and the casualties were three or four times that of Tianyu.

Afterwards, Xia Yizheng let people shout a few times at the gate, but no one went out of the city gate to fight.Qinguan was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and Northern Qi had already prepared for it, and the siege could not be as smooth as before.

"General, Northern Qi has been sticking to the city, unwilling to face it head-on. We don't have enough food and grass if this continues." Zhao Long has been fighting for three days in a row, even humiliation is useless.

Logically speaking, it is generally the siege people who surround the city and want to exhaust the food and grass of the people in the city, but when it comes to them, the situation is completely reversed.

Xia Yizheng was silent for a moment without speaking.If it goes on like this, it really won't work, it's too passive.At this time, he remembered the bag that Lin Chuhuai gave him before he left, and told him to open it when he was unable to make a decision.

He took out the first kit, which contained a note with a person's name and a paragraph.

That passage reads, "Yun Ji, when Guan Heng is preparing to fight a protracted war and close the gates of the city, it is the time to compete for food and grass. In terms of the total amount of food and grass, our army is bound to be inferior to the grain stored in Qin Guan. , If you do this, you will definitely fall into the lower ranks. Since you can’t increase our army’s rations, we must try to reduce the other army’s rations. But today is dry, and wildfires are most likely to break out. The days with strong winds are as follows.”

Lin Chuhuai recently observed the sky at night, and wrote all the days when there would be a hurricane under the note.

Even if there is a good time, all the grain and grass are stored in Qinguan City. Even if you want to set fire to it, how easy is it?

At this time, I picked up the note with the name on it, and everything was answered.

Zhang Shu, a general who has followed Guan Heng for many years, is also the food keeper of Qin Guan. Must be able to move it.

Xia Yizheng put the note back into the kit, closed his eyes and thought for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, he already had a suitable candidate in his mind.

There is a counselor named Zhu Jin under his tent, who is eloquent and eloquent, which will come in handy this time.

He asked Zhu Jin to be called to the tent.

"Zhu Jin has met the general." He has been in Xia Yizheng's tent for a year, but he has not achieved an inch of merit.

"Sir, please get up." Xia Yizheng helped him up himself, and said straight to the point, "I have something to ask today, sir."

When Zhu Jin heard the words, there was a gleam in her usually plain eyes, "Please tell me, General, I will do my best."

Xia Yizheng looked at him for a moment, and told him Lin Chuhuai's plan in detail.

Zhu Jin nodded when she heard the words, this matter is not difficult, "Don't worry, the general, the subordinates will definitely live up to the general's high expectations."

"This is a risky move, so I will wait for the good news of Mr. X."

Since there is a way to crack it, it is better to hit the sun than choose the day.Xia Yizheng made people harass in a small area under the Qinguan Tower that night, taking advantage of the chaos to send Zhujin into the city.

After entering the city, there were waves of guards patrolling the city, and Zhu Jin finally arrived at Zhang Shu's mansion.Because Zhang Shu has not been reused, the mansion is also built in a relatively remote place.

"Who is it?" The guard at the gate of the mansion stopped Zhu Jin.

Zhu Jin stuffed a piece of gold leaf for him, and said calmly, "Please tell me, I am a person who is connected with your master and can help him to become prosperous."

The guard gave him a suspicious look, and went to the mansion to pass it on.

Zhang Shu is having a banquet in the mansion at this time, holding two beauties in his arms, drinking while listening to music, and being fed grapes for him, he is living in style.

This is probably the reason why Guan Heng is unwilling to reuse him. How can a person who indulges in wine and sex and soaks in sensuality every day be entrusted with important tasks?Guan Heng was able to entrust him with the work of taking care of the grain and grass for the sake of his years of hard work.

Zhang Shu heard the guard at the gate, drank the wine in his hand, waved away the dancing girls in the hall, and let all the beauties in his arms go down.

"Bring people in."

It has always been Zhang Shu's heart disease that it will not be reused for many years.Although he didn't know who the person outside the door was, it was worth seeing that person who had peeped into his mind.

All the people in the hall went down, only Zhang Shu was still drinking.

As soon as Zhu Jin stepped through the threshold, she bowed and saluted, "I have met General Zhang, and the general is as heroic and extraordinary as the rumors say, which makes me admire him."

Zhang Shu stared at him for two seconds before laughing loudly, "Everyone doesn't speak secretly, who are you and what is the purpose of coming here, you might as well speak up."

Although this person is addicted to drinking and sex, he is not completely confused. It is impossible for a person to come to the door rashly like this without purpose.

"The general is really straightforward. Then I won't beat around the bush." ​​Zhu Jin admitted with a light smile.

"The general is skilled in martial arts, and has always been a pillar of the Northern Qi Dynasty. After so many years of hard work, why should he always be inferior to others. Although General Guan Heng is famous, you are not inferior to him."

Anyone who receives such unreserved praise will feel elated, and Zhang Shu is naturally not exempt.

Hearing these words made him feel at ease physically and mentally, he was not young anymore, he was already impatient with being suppressed by Guan Heng all these years.

Although these words are in his heart, he will not be so easily instigated, "There is no need to say more about sowing discord, the matter between me and General Guan is not for you, an outsider, to judge randomly. "

You need a little more brains than you imagined, but it's not enough, Zhu Jin chuckled nonchalantly, "The general misunderstood, I didn't mean anything like that, I'm just arguing for you!"

"What do you mean by those words you just said at the gate of the mansion?" Zhang Shu Wuwu continued to go around in circles with him, and directly pointed out the intention of letting him in.

"General Guan is the guard general of Qin Pass. If Qin Pass falls, he must be to blame. At that time, General Zhang, you may not be able to replace him." Isn't this the opportunity for him to rise to prominence?

Zhang Shu is also a smart person, how could he understand what he meant when he heard this.

"Tian Yu's lobbyist?"

Zhu Jin smiled but did not refute.

"You are not afraid that I will have someone tie you up and send you to General Guan's residence. It is also a credit."

"You won't." Zhu Jin was betting on where the bottom line of this person was.

Zhang Shu smiled, "Sir, let me go to the study with me and discuss it in detail."

Fortunately, he won the bet.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

Although Zhang Shu is not unpatriotic, it is not impossible to exchange a city for a chance to make him a leader. If the city is lost, it can be regained, but the opportunity cannot be missed.

"The general is a smart man, so I'll just say it straight. If there is any loss of food and grass, then Qin Guan will definitely not last for three days and will open the city and surrender."

"Impossible, the food and grass have been managed by me all the time, if there is a mistake, I will bear the blame." Zhang Shu refused without thinking.

Zhu Jin didn't answer him directly, but took out a stack of bank notes from her bosom, "This is a deposit, and there will be more gold and beauties after the matter is completed."

"You want to buy me with money?"

I have to say that Zhang Shu was a little moved.

"Not all, this is just a little care of our general. Since Tianyu wants to cooperate with you, General Zhang, he will naturally not trap you in an unjust place."

"Oh, let's hear it."

Zhu Jin could see that his heart was already fluttering, and he was on the verge of vacillating, but he almost needed help.

"Now it's summer when the sky is dry and the candles are flammable. In the days to come, there will be a vision from the sky, a prevailing hurricane accompanied by lightning and thunder. At that time, General Zhang only needs to provide a little flame to make things happen. Even if someone blames it, the general It is also possible to shirk this fact as punishment from God, after all, everyone will witness the vision."

Master Lin really calculated everything just right.

Zhang Shu was silent for a while after listening to his words. This was indeed a good opportunity not to be missed, and he said after a long while, "Since the North Marquis of Tianyu Town is so sincere, he will naturally cooperate."

"Okay, General Zhang, then I will congratulate you on your success in advance." Zhu Jin bent over to congratulate him, with a smile on the corner of her lips that Zhang Shu didn't notice.
