Chapter 722: Confusing Truth with Falsehood

The battle to attack Kaifeng Mansion has been fought for three days, and the intensity of the battle has greatly exceeded Gu Junen's plan and expectations, although there are only about 60,000 righteous soldiers participating in the attack on Kaifeng Mansion City, but the order of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, is extremely tough and clear, that is, to capture Kaifeng Mansion City at all costs.

This made the Henan governor Wu Fu stationed in Kaifeng Fucheng under great pressure, not that the more than 20,000 soldiers stationed in the city could not resist, but the morale of the sergeants was generally not very high, they did not know the situation outside, and they did not know whether they could get support, they knew very well that only with 20,000 people to resist more than 100,000 rogues, it was no good result, in this case, the sergeants just responded passively according to the requirements of the above, and did not take the initiative to kill the rogues with determination and confidence, Even the reward prepared by Zhu Gongyu, the king of Zhou, with a large amount of gold and silver, was difficult to inspire everyone's fighting spirit.

Wu Fu began to find ways to send scouts out of the city to break through the encirclement of the Liukou and look for assistance, he understood very well that only by really figuring out the situation outside and making it clear that there were reinforcements from the army, could he defend Kaifeng Mansion inside and outside.

Gu Junen did not stop Li Zicheng's large-scale attack on Kaifeng Fucheng, he knew very well that Li Zicheng was thinking about taking Kaifeng Fucheng in his heart, such a victory for Li Zicheng, has a great symbolic significance, Li Zicheng's idea has changed fundamentally, not the previous idea of living a day is a day, but with the budding idea of establishing a regime, at this moment to be able to take Kaifeng Fucheng, an important city, will make Li Zicheng's confidence in creating a regime more firm.

Gu Junen not only did not stop it, but after discussing with Liu Zongmin, he transferred some of the righteous sergeants who were preparing to ambush the official army of Zhuxian Town to participate in the battle of attacking the city.

In the process, Gu Junen discovered the scouts sent by the official army, and it is said that these scouts could not break through the encirclement of the rebel army. After some thought, Gu Junen made special arrangements and ordered the rebel sergeants to capture some of them, let some of them go, and let a small number of people rush out for help.

Gu Junen couldn't wait for the officials and soldiers to ask for help, so the officers and soldiers stationed in Zhuxian Town. It will not be possible to remain indifferent.

Although Gu Junen did not see Sun Chuanting with his own eyes, he was 100% sure that Sun Chuanting must have participated in the battle of Zhuxian Town, and the official army won a major victory in the battle of Zhuxian Town, but did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and did not go to Kaifeng Mansion to help. The officials and troops of Zhuxian Town still did not move, which can only show that Sun Chuanting expected the consequences of rushing to help, at this time, the main task of the righteous army was to attract or force the officers and troops stationed in Zhuxian Town to come to the aid of Kaifeng Fucheng.

The cautious Sun Chuanting finally wavered, the main reason for his vacillation. It was the scout sent by Wu Fu, the governor of Henan, who arrived in Zhuxian Town. informed the city of Kaifeng of the great danger and asked for reinforcements.

The scouts have long had a lot of reconnaissance information, and the rogues tried their best to attack Kaifeng Fucheng, and Sun Chuanting already knew about it.

He Renlong's temper is very bad these days, and he is ready to lead his sergeants to reinforcements several times, if it weren't for Zuo Liangyu's patient persuasion. He Renlong had already acted.

The battle has developed to this point, and Sun Chuanting must make up his mind.

Sun Chuanting has a lot of opinions about the prison army Wang Yongji, the army led by Wang Yongji, the speed of the march is slow, and such a long time has passed. The scout reported that the army had just passed Xuzhou, and it seemed that it would take at least ten days or so to rush to Kaifeng Fucheng, according to such a marching speed, Sun Chuanting could not wait until the army arrived in Kaifeng Fucheng, and then start a fight with the Liukou, and any accidents during this period, Sun Chuanting would suffer severe punishment from the emperor and the court.

In the military tent.

He Renlong had a cold face, and Zuo Liangyu had a helpless face.

Sun Chuanting's face didn't have much expression, but he asked the scouts who came out of Kaifeng Mansion to report the situation in detail.

This move has actually illustrated Sun Chuanting's thoughts.

Maybe it's because the resentment in his heart is too heavy, maybe it's the soldier's idea of going straight and not turning, He Renlong didn't understand the meaning of Sun Chuanting's move, and there was still no smile on his face, Zuo Liangyu understood something, most of the time he was looking at Sun Chuanting, but he didn't pay attention to the scout who was always reporting the situation.

After the scout finished reporting, Sun Chuanting waved his hand.

After the scout saluted everyone, he silently withdrew from the Chinese military tent.

"Kaifeng Mansion City encountered a fierce attack by the Liukou, the army in the city under the command of Lord Wu, struggling to resist, Kaifeng Mansion City is as stable as a rock, the official is very pleased, but the Liukou is heavy, if Kaifeng Mansion City does not receive assistance for a long time, it will definitely fall into the danger of falling, Lord Wu sent scouts, after many hardships and difficulties, arrived in Zhuxian Town to report the news, the official thinks, it is time to analyze the situation in Kaifeng City."

Although he had made up his mind to rush to the aid of Kaifeng Fucheng, Sun Chuanting's words still had reservations, these days, He Renlong's attitude made him very dissatisfied in his heart, as the secretary of the military department and the governor of the five provinces, on behalf of the imperial court responsible for all matters related to the extermination of the Liukou, his authority was challenged.

Even if he decided to rush to the aid of Kaifeng Fucheng, Sun Chuanting had to show a certain attitude.

This is regarded by Sun Chuanting as the backbone of the literati, but this backbone is probably considered by many people to be sour and rotten.

Zuo Liangyu understood the meaning, but it was a pity that He Renlong, who was immersed in his own emotions, could not understand the meaning.

Sun Chuanting had just finished speaking, and He Renlong spoke angrily.

"My lord, Kaifeng Mansion is in danger, and the last general thinks that the only way to solve the danger of Kaifeng Mansion is to rush to help, and it has come to such a time, what else to analyze......"

He Renlong's words made Sun Chuanting's face pale, and anger gradually appeared.

"General He, you rush to Kaifeng Mansion City one by one, is it possible that this official is unwilling to rush to the aid of Kaifeng Mansion City, is it possible that you are the only one who thinks about the safety of Kaifeng Mansion City, this official represents the imperial court, is responsible for exterminating the Liukou, in accordance with the imperial court's ambush on all sides, the operational deployment of the four corners and six corners, experienced the Battle of Xiangyang and the Battle of Yunyang, and then led the army to aid Kaifeng Fucheng, experienced the Battle of Zhuxian Town, and did all this to protect Kaifeng Mansion City and exterminate Liukou. What comes to mind is that the rogue is powerful, and how the official should plan to ensure that the army defeats the rogue and does not encounter danger, but you always can't understand, immersed in your own thinking, stubborn, you really think that the official will blindly connive. ”

Sun Chuanting's words, according to reason, should not be said, the army is about to rush to the aid of Kaifeng Fucheng, the war is imminent, at this time, the unity of the generals is very important, which directly affects the morale of the army, but Sun Chuanting really can't help it, although he is both civil and military, but dealing with pure military attachés, he still feels tired.

The advantage of a military attache is that he is straightforward, but the disadvantage is obvious, that is, he cannot understand the voice of Xuanwai.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zuo Liangyu hurriedly spoke.

"My lord, General He also took into account the safety of Kaifeng Fucheng, so his words showed impatience, now Kaifeng Fucheng is in danger, the main force of the Liukou is used to attack Kaifeng Fucheng, the last general thinks that this is a good opportunity, at this time to rush to the aid of Kaifeng Fucheng, will definitely be able to defeat the Liukou."

Sun Chuanting's face was a little better, and he didn't even look at He Renlong and spoke again.

"Zuo Zongbing is right, Kaifeng Fucheng has been attacked, the official is bound to rush to help, but the official thinks that since it is a rush, it must be echoed by Lord Wu, the officer led the sergeant to attack the Liukou outside, Lord Wu led the sergeant to firmly defend the city, and hit the siege of the Liukou, so that he can really defeat the Liukou, if necessary, the officer thinks that Lord Wu can order some of the sergeants to rush out of the city and fight with the Liukou......"

Sun Chuanting's original intention was to think of galloping to the aid of the soldiers of Kaifeng Fucheng, if they could not completely defeat the Liukou, they could take the opportunity to enter the Kaifeng Fucheng, and resist the attack of the Liukou together with the soldiers in the city, Wang Yongji led the army, has been heading towards the Kaifeng Fucheng, once the strength of the guards in the city has been enhanced, so that the Liukou can not covet the Kaifeng Fucheng, then the situation will have a major change, the sergeants guarding the city and the army led by Wang Yongji will fight together at that time, and it is even possible to exterminate the Liukou under Li Zicheng's command.

Sun Chuanting's thoughts were a bit idealistic, which made He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu dumbfounded.

You must know that there are nearly 200,000 rogues who attacked the city of Kaifengfu, and the sergeants who rushed to the aid and the sergeants stationed in Kaifeng Fucheng are less than 60,000 in total, and it is very good to be able to barely stop the attack of the rogues.

Sun Chuanting saw the expressions of He Renlong and Zuo Liangyu, he just felt it, and he was not prepared to really do it.

"I know what you think, let the sergeant enter the Kaifeng Mansion City, but it is the hope of the officer, it is very difficult to do this, and it depends on the situation of the battle, as for the sergeant stationed in the Kaifeng Mansion City, whether they go out of the city to fight, it is even more necessary to make a decision under the situation that we have the initiative and advantage......

The order to rush to the aid of Kaifeng Fucheng was quickly conveyed.

Nearly 40,000 sergeants began to prepare for battle, this time rushing to the aid of Kaifeng Fucheng, facing nearly 200,000 rogues, thinking that the situation of continuing the battle of Zhuxian Town is basically impossible, this must be a cruel fight.

He Renlong's attitude finally changed, and his emotions became excited, as long as Sun Chuanting agreed to rush to the aid of Kaifeng Fucheng, He Renlong couldn't think of so many other things. (To be continued......)
