Farmer of Shu Han Chapter 578

Chapter 578 Sifang Fengyun

"Bo Yue, going on like this is not an option." Liang Xu came up anxiously, "Ji Han's army will arrive soon, and we will be unable to advance or retreat by then, what should we do?"

Jiang Wei nodded, agreeing with Liang Xu's statement, and asked, "Where's Luomen? It really doesn't work, let's go back to Luomen first."

"I sent people to try it the day before yesterday, and the gate of Luomen was also closed."

Liang Qian interjected.

Although Jiang Wei had expected it, but at this moment, he could only look up to the sky and sigh, "I will wait for the sky to die?"

Liang Xu's eyes flickered, and he hesitated, "Bo Yue, it's not like..."

Jiang Wei knew what he meant when he heard the words, and immediately sneered, "What Le He said, isn't it about going to surrender Shu captives?"

Liang Xu, Liang Qian, and Yi Shang did not dare to look at Jiang Wei, and all bowed their heads in silence.

"The clans in the city have put their minds to it!"

Jiang Wei smiled miserably.

He understood the meaning of the family.

The Shu captives are coming fiercely. If Jicheng cannot be defended, then the few of them who surrendered to the enemy in advance are the hope of the family on the side of the Shu captives.

If the city of Ji is not destroyed, then the clans in the city are considered to be meritorious in defending the city, and in order to defend the city, even the children of the clan are refused to leave the city. Isn't this not loyal enough?

What's more, being forced to surrender to the enemy by one's own people in such a desperate situation will only gain more trust from the Shu captives.

Jiang Wei thought, maybe the clan still thinks that through their relationship with others in the future, they can make Yishi in Hanzhong bigger.

"I was pushed out by my family, so what can I do?"

Liang Xu smiled wryly.

Can quickly design this kind of situation based on the situation in the past few days, which one of the old people in the family is not a smart person? It is estimated that when Ma Zun said those words in Luomen, the family members had already started planning after getting the news.

Jiang Wei snorted coldly, turned around directly, "Let's go."

"Where to?"

"Where else can I go? Of course I want to vote for a big man!"

Jiang Wei gritted his teeth.

"Boyue, you made up your mind so soon?"

Liang Xu was a little surprised.

"The family has decided for me, what else can I do?"

Although he is concerned about his mother, the Jiang family is a surname in Tianshui. Even if he is not there, his mother will be taken care of by his own people, so there is no need to worry too much.

It's just such words, but I will fall into a place of unfilial piety.

But in such a situation, what else can he do?

Jiang Wei got on his horse, looked back at the city behind him, and then at the direction of Shangbi, with a gloomy expression in his eyes: If you don't allow me, I will make you regret what you did today!

A group of people cast a long shadow on the ground and headed south, leaving Jicheng behind.

The chaos in Longyou reflects the various aspects of life.

Some people go south, some people go west.

Longxi County, the westernmost part of Longyou, got the news that it was already the time when the Han army entered the customs in a large scale and divided the troops to take the counties.

Nan'an County fled because the prefect abandoned the city, and the counties responded one after another. In addition, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao were leading Qingqi, and they were quickly defeated.

Then the two immediately led their troops northward and set up a guard at the junction of Longyou and Liangzhou to prevent Liangzhou soldiers from coming to help.

And Wei Yan continued to travel westward, preparing to pass through Nan'an County and conquer Xiangwu County, the prefecture of Longxi County.

All the counties in Longyou surrendered, especially Nan'an, which took them all without any effort, which gave Wei Yan an illusion that he led the army to Xiangwu City, and he could naturally take it down in one fell swoop.

After all, among the four counties in Longyou, even Tianshui County, the most important place, has already surrendered. Longxi County is the most remote place, so why not surrender?

So he urged his troops to travel lightly and hurriedly, only wanting to reach Xiangwu County as soon as possible.

When the officials in Xiangwu City heard that Shu soldiers were coming, they were all panicked.

Longxi prefect You Chu stood at the city wall, looking east, with a sad face, and sighed.

"The Shu captives are approaching, and the Ming government doesn't know the laws and regulations. They don't order the officers and men, and they don't repair the armor to wait to guard the city. Instead, they lament here. Is it the way to protect the land for the court?"

You Chu heard the sound and saw two men standing not far away looking at him, one of them was Shi Ma Yong, the chief of Longxi County, and the other was Gongsun Zheng, a member of the army in Longxi County who had personally visited Nanxiang.

What he said just now came from the mouth of Gongsun Zheng.

"Why don't I want to defend the city?"

These two are his good friends, You Chu smiled wryly, but he did not hide his helplessness, "It's just that the two counties of Tianshui and Nan'an are looking forward to the wind, and now there is only Longxi County, which is isolated from the outside world, what can I do? "

"The Ming government also knows that Longxi is isolated from the outside world?" Gongsun Zheng smiled when he heard the words, "The people from Shu didn't just come from a long way and spared no effort in manpower, so what if they got here? They don't have siege equipment, and they have been exhausted for a long time. Master, can we still capture this fortified city?"

You Chu heard something in Gongsun Zheng's words, and immediately asked, "Why did Boyan teach me?"

Gongsun Zheng pointed to the outside of the city and said, "The defenders of the city must cut down all the surrounding trees, fill up the water sources, destroy the walls and houses, drive the people into the city, and do not use it for the enemy. In this way, the Shu people want to attack the city. It is also necessary to cut wood from far away to make equipment, so the Ming government should send people to do this as soon as possible."

"In my opinion, the general of Shu is lightly armed and rushing forward. When he gets here, he is at the end of his strength and can't wear clothes. We will go out of the city with the army of the city to meet the exhausted army. If he dares to fight, he will be defeated. If he does not dare to fight, he must If you have to retreat several miles and set up camp, you can also dampen your spirit first."

"Nowadays, the hearts of the people in the city are fluctuating, and the Ming government should appease them early. Otherwise, how can they defend the city?"

When You Chu heard Gongsun Zheng's previous words, his eyes lit up, and when he heard the last sentence, he frowned again, "How should I caress him when his mind is down?"

"This matter is easy to hear." Gongsun Zheng looked at You Chu with burning eyes, "But I have to borrow something from the Ming Palace."

"What?"

Gongsun Zheng pointed to his head.

The next day, You Chu summoned the officials and people of high moral standing in Xiangwu City, and said, "Since I became the prefect of Longxi, I have never done you any kindness. Now the Shu people are aggressively invading Longyou, and the officials and people in other counties are going to join the Shu people. "

"If you want to do it, I will not stop it. After all, this is the opportunity for you to seek wealth. But I am different. Others can surrender, but I cannot."

"The prefect's responsibility is to guard the county, so I am righteous. If you have the heart, please use my head to seek wealth."

As he spoke, he drew out his long sword and threw it on the ground.

With a sound of "clang clang", everyone took a step back, and then looked at each other, not daring to speak.

Although You Chu claimed to be ungrateful to Longxi County, in fact, since he became the prefect of Longxi, he has been generous and generous. He usually focuses on kindness and does not like to use criminal law and killing.

Now seeing him standing there awe-inspiringly, ready to die, finally a passionate person said loudly, "Where the righteousness of the Ming Dynasty lies, how can we live in vain? I am willing to live and die with the Ming Dynasty!"

As he spoke, he stood up, picked up his long sword, and stood in front of You Chu, "Everyone wants to go, but please do not hurt Mingfu."

At this time, the character of the Han people is still there, and Liangzhou is very chivalrous. Someone took the lead, and the heart of kindness and righteousness was aroused, and everyone said, "I have no second heart."

You Chu sighed, "From this point of view, I am persecuting the sergeants in the city!"

So he said again, "Everyone is unwilling to do anything now, so I will give you an idea. If the Shu people come to attack Longxi, we can't hold on. We only need to wait for the imperial reinforcements to arrive, and the Shu captives will retreat. At that time, everyone To be rewarded by the imperial court."

"But if things go wrong, and the people of Shu attack the city in a hurry, and it is difficult to hold the city, please tie me up and send me to the camp in the center of Shu. Then I will bear the responsibility, how about it?"

After hearing this, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, You Chu knew that the goal of winning people's hearts had been achieved, so he sent an order to close the city gates and prepare to defend the city.

Two days later, Wei Yanguo's light army arrived in a hurry, including the surrendered army from Nan'an County.

The army marched to the bottom of the city, and saw that the army formation had been set up in front of the city gate, and at the same time, someone on the city wall shouted at him, "The general has come from a long way, do you have the strength to defeat Longxi Jianer?"

This situation was beyond Wei Yan's expectations. He really didn't expect that Xiangwu County would not only refuse to surrender, but would even dare to go out of the city to set up an array, wanting to fight him.

It's just that he marched too fast all the way, and the soldiers have lost much strength here, and now they urgently need to rest, how dare they agree to You Chu?

I saw Wei Yan driving his horse forward and shouting towards the city, "The Han army entered Longyou, and all the lands fell upon hearing the wind. Do you want to resist the heavenly soldiers with a single county?"

You Chu laughed, "If the people of Shu can block Longshan, so that the soldiers of the Great Wei cannot go to Long, a month later, the officials in Longxi will surrender without a fight. If you can't, you will be waiting in vain."

After finishing speaking, he beat the drum himself, and saw Shi Mayong, the chief outside the city gate, let out a long cry, and led the soldiers forward slowly.

Wei Yan didn't expect that the other party would march when they said they would march, so he pulled the reins and returned to the army, took the trilogy and broke it himself, and ordered the army to retreat slowly.

On the first day of visiting Chu, the spirit of the Shu people was dampened, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were greatly encouraged, so they became more determined to defend the city.

Seeing that Xiangwu City did not surrender, Wei Yan was anxious, but he had to rest for a day before he asked his soldiers to cut wood to make siege equipment.

Longyou wars were raging everywhere, and Zhang He led Cao Wei's Luoyang Central Army to come day and night.

In Xiping County of Liangzhou, which borders Longxi County, a fast horse is galloping on the official road. The command flag on his back shows that this is a postman delivering important news.

The soldiers of Xidu City, the prefecture of Xiping County, saw the post envoy galloping at full speed, and hurriedly dispersed the people around the city gate.

After a while, at the gate of the prefect's mansion in Xidu, the postman rolled off his horse and fell to the ground, but he took out an official document from his arms without hesitation, and shouted, "Urgent report from Wuwei!"

The soldiers at the gate of the prefect's mansion rushed over and helped him up. One of them took the official document and hurriedly sent it to the mansion.

"General, an urgent report from Wuwei!"

Hao Zhao, who was dealing with government affairs, was startled when he heard it, and quickly got up to take it over to take a look, his face changed drastically: "Shu captives actually offended me, Great Wei Longyou?"

The official document was sent by Xu Miao, who had just been appointed governor of Liangzhou, ordering him to quickly reorganize his troops and go to Yuzhong in Jincheng County to join the prefect of Jincheng, preparing to go south and recover Longyou.

Hao Zhao didn't dare to be negligent, he ordered his troops and horses, and was about to set off, but someone persuaded him, "General, in the land of Xihai to the west of Xiping, there is a bald tribe that has just surrendered, and in Xiping County, there is also a wealthy family, Changsi, who rebelled. "

"If the general takes all the soldiers and horses away, the barbarian rebels out of righteousness, and the wealthy family takes the opportunity to cause chaos, what should we do?"

When Hao Zhao heard this, he felt that it made sense.

After pondering for a while, he said, "The bald-haired tribe treats me very respectfully. Now I order their tribe to go south with me. It can not only drive them to fight against the Shu captives, but also make them unable to rebel."

"As for the noble family in Xiping County, they were killed only last year. At this time, their vitality has been seriously injured, and they will not dare to rebel easily."

After the plan, let someone send an order to the bald hair department, Mr. Bald Pigu.

The bald hair department moved to Xihai with the advice of an expert, and finally found a place to settle down, ending the days without pastures.

In addition to helping Hao Zhao to calm the chaos, he obtained the privilege of trading with the Han people in Xiping County, and continuously annexed the Qiang Rong and other tribes near the West Sea, and it has gradually become prosperous.

Now there are nearly 10,000 tents and more than 7,000 people who control strings. They are a rare and large tribe in the West Sea.

The bald-haired Pi Gu was ordered by Hao Zhao, so he asked his son, Bald-haired Tianli, to lead five thousand elite horsemen from his clan to accompany him.

When Hao Zhao went south with his preparations, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty led the army to finally break through Xixian County, and at the same time Jiang Wei led the officials of Tianshui to surrender on their own initiative.

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, and after taking a short rest in Xixian County, he continued to sing northward and approached Jixian County.

At the same time, Zhang He had just passed Chang'an, and was rushing westward along the Weishui River, preparing to join Cao Zhen in Meicheng.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't drop it."

Feng Yong stood at the gate of Xi County and gave orders loudly.

I saw one short Dian horse after another, under the guidance of the groom, "treading" under the feet, carrying bags after bags of grain into Xixian County.

This is grain shipped from Qishan City.

In the past two years, Zhao Guang has collected a large amount of grain in Ju County, and before Zhuge's Northern Expedition, he also searched for grain from a family in central Shu, so there is no shortage of grain.

What is lacking is transportation capacity.

This time, Feng Yong spent a lot of money and transferred most of the capacity of Dongfeng Express.

Before going north, he also put horseshoes on the horses. Not only is it much faster to walk on the mountain road, but also there is no need to worry about damaging the horseshoes.

Today's grain and grass are first transported from Hanzhong to Ju County by cart on the artificial stone road, and then transported from Ju County to Qishan City by Dongfeng Express.

A part of Qishan City, and another part had to keep up with the army, so a batch was transported over immediately after visiting Xixian County.

It is because of the strong transportation capacity of Dongfeng Express that the army in front does not have to worry about food shortages.

This made the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty very satisfied, and it was also the main reason why the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty asked Feng Yong to keep watch over the Liang Dao. He was very talented.

Seeing Zhao Guang who was listless standing beside him, Feng Yong said unhappily, "Just the food in Juxian County has already given you a lot of credit in the Northern Expedition. Who are you showing your despondency?"

Zhao Guang muttered, "What do I want this credit for? What I want is the credit for killing the enemy..."

As he spoke, he squatted down and drew circles by himself.

"Don't worry, there are plenty of opportunities for you." Feng Yong glanced at the north and sighed, "This comfortable life won't be too long."

I thought about it in my heart, if the history is correct, counting from the start of the attack on Jicheng, Zhang He should have arrived in ten days or so.

Zhuge Old Demon probably miscalculated the speed of Cao Thief's reinforcements this time.

If we divide our troops to fight Longdi right now, there may still be a chance to block Zhang Yun to the east of Longdi.

But who knows? What if he saw Longdi fall, and ran to the north directly, what if he came up the Long Road in the north?

Of course, it is also possible that Zhuge Old Demon originally planned to fight Zhang He at Jieting.

So after thinking about it, it's better to forget it, let Zhang He come from Jieting according to the original trajectory.

It seems that the big man can't get around this street pavilion after all.
