Liu Bai fled quickly with 3,000 soldiers and horses, the ancient hero was ordered to chase after him, and Tang Zhou led his troops directly to Yizhou City. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Because Liu Bai's soldiers and horses are few, they will be very fast, and the large army will definitely not be able to catch up, and in Tang Zhou's opinion, Liu Bai can't escape, so he doesn't need too many people to chase, and the most important thing now is to appease the people of Yizhou City.

The army was rerouted to Yizhou City, Tang Zhou just entered the city, and saw the people of Yizhou standing on both sides of the street to welcome, in the past, because of Li Shimin's death, they had some misunderstandings about Li Zhi, thinking that Liu Bai was their master.

But after this period of time, they really understood who was the best person for them.

They warmly welcomed the Tang army, Tang Zhou saw that the people were as usual, suddenly stopped, and then said to those people: "The rebellion in Shuzhong will be pacified soon, and everyone will live a good life at that time, and the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty loves you." ”

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor"

"Long live the emperor............"

The people shouted loudly, Tang Zhou said some words of appeasement, and then ordered someone to transport some grain and grass to distribute to some people here, many of them had been plundered by the rebels before, and now there is no surplus grain at home, Tang Zhou knows these things, now that Yizhou City has been recovered, it is natural to distribute grain and grass to these people, so that they can tide over the difficulties.

After he destroys Liu Bai, he will focus on restoring production in Shuzhong.

The city of Yizhou gradually settled down, and the night was already deep.

But the people in the city didn't sleep, they didn't want to sleep, and happiness came like this, and they were afraid that after they fell asleep, happiness would suddenly disappear.

Everyone sat together and chatted, talking about a bright future.

"Little Hou Ye is really a good person, if it weren't for him, we would still be hungry now."

"It's not, so it's better to be Datang."

"Alas, we were all deceived by those rebels before, and in the future, I will be a Tang Dynasty in life and a Tang ghost in death."

When night came, the autumn wind was solemn, and Tang Zhou was already very tired when he was done, but he only needed to be busy for half a day, because tomorrow, he would take the rest of the soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress Liu Bai.

Liu Bai fled to Qinggu County, there is nothing special about this Qinggu County, and it is only a very small and inconspicuous county town in the whole of Shu, he doesn't understand why Liu Bai fled to such a county with poor defense capabilities.

Does he think that such a county town can withstand the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty?

You know, he has only 3,000 men left.

Tang Zhou fell asleep, and early the next morning, he brought 5,000 soldiers and horses to Qinggu County, plus the 5,000 soldiers and horses brought by the ancient hero before, 10,000 people were enough to destroy Liu Bai's 3,000 people.

Qinggu County is not far from Yizhou City, and he is a small county town under the jurisdiction of Yizhou.

At noon that day, Tang Zhou and the others came to Qinggu County, and when they came to Qinggu County, they found that the ancient heroes only led troops to besiege the city, but did not take the initiative to attack.

This made Tang Zhou feel very strange.

After seeing the ancient hero, Tang Zhou asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The soldiers and horses of the ancient heroes were five miles away from Qinggu County, and the ancient heroes sighed lightly and said: "Master Hou, this Qinggu County is not big, it is built in a river, the moat is very wide, the rebels have taken away the suspension bridge, and it is difficult for us to cross without boats." ”

Hearing the moat quickly, Tang Zhou's brows condensed slightly, throughout the ages, many cities were built by water, so as to protect the city from the enemy, Yizhou City, Jianzhou City, etc., all have moats, but their moats are not particularly wide, and it is not very difficult to pass, but it is surprising that a small county town in Qinggu County has such a large moat.

However, it is not difficult to understand that the moat is wide, and if there is a lot of water, it will affect the lives of the people of Qinggu County, and the area of Qinggu County may also shrink because of this, so it is not the most suitable place for people to live, and it will become a small county town over time.

Compared with Yizhou City, the moat is not big, but there is no need to worry about floods, so it is suitable for people to live, and the population will naturally increase.

The small Qinggu County is like a small island, and it will naturally increase the difficulty of conquering it.

Tang Zhou took people to Qinggu County to take a look, the river is twenty meters wide, where is the suspension bridge able to cross?

There was originally a bridge over the moat, but it was destroyed by the rebels.

At this time, in late autumn, which is also the season of frequent rainy season, the water in the moat is flowing loudly, which is really a bit embarrassing.

And then look at the city wall of Qinggu County, probably because of the fear that the water will flood into the city, the construction is very high, and the terrain is also higher than the usual place, such a city is not easy to attack.

After reading it like this, the ancient hero asked, "Little Marquis, what should we do now?" ”

Tang Zhou was silent, at this time, Chen Buzhou said: "Master Hou, in fact, it is not difficult to break the enemy, the water in this moat is necessary for the people in the city to live, and it goes straight to the city, if the water flow can be blocked, there must be a shortage of water in the city, we can force the rebels to surrender without a single soldier." ”

Chen Buzhou's method is naturally good, but there is a shortcoming, that is, the rebels can't eat water, and the people in the city will definitely not be able to eat, and the people are in a weak position.

Tang Zhou thought about it and vetoed the proposal.

"Don't hurt the people."

Although Qinggu County is now occupied by rebels, the people there are still the people of the Tang Dynasty, how can Tang Zhou let the people of the Tang Dynasty suffer and even be threatened by their lives in order to break the enemy?

Therefore, if you want to attack the city, you can only find another way.

"It's a bit of a hassle, but let's do it, and order someone to borrow a boat, and find someone to cut down trees and build a bridge."

This is the only way Tang Zhou and they can think of now, only by crossing the moat first, can they attack Qinggu County, although the gate of Qinggu County is very high, but if you want to break through, it should not be a difficult matter.

After this decision, the Tang army began to look for tools to build a bridge, as well as ships, and by the time everything was ready, it was already five days later.

After five days, they began to build bridges, which were naturally the simplest of them, but as long as they could pass people.

When they were building the bridge, they also had to prevent the rebels from raiding, so the boats in the moat were responsible for the defense, and it took another five days before the bridge was finally repaired.

Five days later, Tang Zhou rushed with people, and in addition to the people, there was also a herd of cattle and a very thick siege log.

It is naturally possible to rely on manpower to storm the city gate, but if there are oxen, it is easier than people, and the strength of the oxen is very great, and the strength of these oxen is not something that the rebels in the city can resist.

After crossing the moat, under the cover of sharp arrows, a group of Tang troops drove cattle to attack the city, and in just a few clicks, the gate of Qinggu County was poked a hole by the Tang army.
