Chapter 143: The Unification of the Shu Dragon (I)
"In Hanzhong City, what is the situation?" Wang Hongyi stood in front of the army on horseback and asked the thirteen divisions and hundreds of households who were responsible for collecting intelligence in Hanzhong beside him.
Hanzhong is located in Longjian, but there is a plain, and a lot of food has been hoarded in the county of Hanzhong, and the financial and material resources are not weak.
Moreover, this place is the gateway of Shu and Qin, and it is the place where the two places border, and the merchants are very close.
Even if Wang Hongyi didn't fancy the commercial development potential of this county town, it was impossible to ignore the military role played by this county town on the border!
As long as he takes down all the dragon swords and puts them in his hands, even if there are only a few thousand people guarding this place, it will not be easy for Guo Wentong to capture this city and enter Shu.
The thunderbolt chariot and other things in Wang Hongyi's hand are not comparable to the siege objects mastered by other feudal towns, and it is definitely not easy for such a big city as Hanzhong to rely only on hard attack.
In this case, Wang Hongyi naturally would not let others take over the county.
Wang Hongyi ordered people not to rush to attack the city, for the sake of the big plan, now that Guo Wentong's army has retreated, Hanzhong is already a piece of fat in the mouth, and there is no reason to fly away?
Of course, out of habit, Wang Hongyi still got used to his surname first, and from the thirteen divisions, he first understood the situation in the city at this time, and then made a decision on how to attack this city.
"Lord, there are 10,000 soldiers in Hanzhong County, and according to the intelligence of Annihilation, although the morale has plummeted, there are still 9,000 to fight. Thirteen Divisions and Hundred Households reported to Wang Hongyi.
With the ability of the Thirteenth Division, it is not difficult to send people into Hanzhong before the war starts, but it is just that they can't access those confidential information.
The lower officials and soldiers in the city will be able to obtain information, and they will send it out of the city from time to time.
"Nine thousand defenders, if we attack it, our army will also have two or three thousand losses......" Wang Hongyi frowned and frowned slightly.
Hanzhong County is bound to win, Zhong Wendao can surrender obediently, and he will give this person a chance to spare the family's surname, but this person insists on not surrendering, that is to fight for some losses.
Of course, when the time comes, a cleaning of personnel is indispensable, including the heads of Zhong Wendao's entire clan.
The horn sounded. Tens of thousands of Shu soldiers lined up and slowly pressed towards the city.
They were all dressed in red armor, and their momentum was amazing, and the city was all discolored.
"Let people hold the armor and flags of the camp, as well as the head, and continue to shout to the city, and if there is no response within half an hour, our army will attack the city again, and then we will never surrender, and we will kill them all!" Wang Hongyi's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice.
In a moment, an officer with a loud voice, escorted by a few personal soldiers, rode towards the city wall, ran to a distance of a hundred paces from the city, and came to a distant halt.
and there were also pro-soldiers, who threw a large number of armor on the ground.
The officer shouted to the city: "Listen to the city, I have been instructed by the order of the Duke of Shu that in this troubled times, the Duke of Shu should be ordered by heaven to serve Allah, and to honor the virtuous and powerful, and to reward those who are virtuous and talented. ”
"Guo Wentong resisted Wang Shi, our army was defeated, killed the camp of nine hundred, and beheaded the main general Fu Zicheng, at this time it was shown to you and others, this is the heart of the Duke of Shu who loves the people and loves the people, and then dares to resist, the army enters the city, and it is too late to regret it. ”
This voice spread far away, and the city and the city could hear it clearly, looking at Guo Jun's clothes and armor and head below, in the city of Hanzhong County, the panicked emotions immediately spread.
The first to bear the brunt of the siege was these defenders at the head of the city, who originally relied on resistance, that is, Guo Wentong would be reinforced, but when he heard this, the fighting spirit that he had to hold on was almost lost.
These soldiers are in a state of desperation.
Although there were nearly 10,000 people in the city, everyone felt that the day was not guaranteed, and if they continued like this, they would only use trebuchets to bombard the city walls, and they would soon be able to break through a gap.
When the time comes, 40,000 troops will pour into the city, and how will there be a way to live?
"The lord is still motionless?" On the stone steps from the head of the city to the middle of the city, there were two people, one of whom was the guard who protected the Taishou, and the other was Li He, the confidant of the Taishou.
Li He's appearance is embarrassed, his face is gray, and his eyes are even redder, obviously he has not slept well in the past few days, as Zhong Wendao's henchman, he can still sleep steadily in this situation, that is strange.
The guards who were stopped by him heard Li He's question, and hurriedly replied: "Lord Li, as soon as the Lord came down from the city, this is what he looks like, why don't you go over later?"
"Okay, go about your business, this official is waiting here. Li He nodded and said helplessly.
The guards stepped aside.
At this time, someone outside the city began to shout again, and Li He found that the body of the lord Zhong Wendao trembled, obviously waking up.
Just in the distance, Zhong Wendao motioned for him to go over.
"Lord, persuade you to surrender outside, can the lord have a countermeasure?" Li He walked over and asked directly, and at this time, tactful words and polite words could be dispensed with.
"Li He, give the order to go down, prepare to open the city gate, and surrender to Wang Hongyi. Zhong Wendao was silent for a while and said.
"Lord......" Zhong Wendao's words made Li He startled, and he originally wanted to persuade him, but he immediately swallowed it, carefully observed his expression, and saw that it was not a joke, and couldn't help but say in reverse: "Lord, have you thought clearly? This is your inheritance! And maybe the Qin army was not defeated." ”
Zhong Wendao shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Hanzhong City can't support it anymore, if it goes on like this, not to mention that if you can't wait for the Qin army to come again, the Shu army will have broken through, I think about it, even if you wait until the Qin army comes again, it's just a surrender." ”
Walking down, he shook his hand and said, "Say to the outside, Hanzhong has descended, make a little preparation to open the city gate and welcome them into the city." ”
Speak, and say no more.
Looking at him walking all the way, Li He felt that Zhong Wendao's back suddenly became sluggish.
However, now is not the time to sigh, the shouting outside stopped again, I don't know if the Shu army will attack the city next, Li He hurriedly came to the city and expressed his surrender to the Shu army under the city.
"It's just Wudu County. When the city gate was opened, Zhong Wendao was dressed in a royal official robe, holding a roster of big seals and other things, and walked out to greet them, Wang Hongyi thought secretly in his heart.
Five days later, Wang Hongyi, the Taishou Mansion of Hanzhong, was standing in the garden, looking at the garden in the sun, thinking with the undulating thoughts in his heart.
In the fifteenth year of Chuizheng, the three-year Universiade of Wang Hongde in the previous life ended, Li Chengye was opposed, Wang Hongde was defeated and imprisoned for ten years, and now it is also fifteen years of Chuizheng, but it can definitely unify Shudi, one year ahead of schedule.
According to the situation in the previous life, two years later, that is, the eighteenth year of Chuizheng, Guo Wentong was basically unified in Guanzhong.
Now that it has been completely fought for two years, the idea of attacking Qin, with Guo Wentong retreating, is no longer there.
It's September, and there is no room left this year, so we have to relocate and reclaim the winter wheat before midwinter for next year's harvest.
Next year, there will be two ways, one is to capture the mediocrity, the ancient name "the mediocre people are good at fighting, Qin Chu is invincible", although it is impossible now, but it is also a large county, can recruit tens of thousands of elite soldiers.
There is also the possibility of going down the river and attacking Yiling.
When I think of Yiling, I think of the Battle of Yiling in the history of the earth.
The Battle of Yiling is one of the three major battles in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and these three major battles are the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Chibi, and the Battle of Yiling.
The battle of Guandu is the battle of Cao Ying's national fortune, the battle of Chibi is the battle of the national fortune of the Three Kingdoms, and the battle of Yiling can be tied, of course, it is also related to the national fortune of Shu and Wu.
Yiling is the only land passage from Shu to Jing.
Erupting in the first year of Zhangwu of the Shu Han Dynasty (221) and ending in the second year of Zhangwu of the Shu Han Dynasty (222), it was a war fought by Eastern Wu (Sun Quan) and Shu Han (Liu Bei) during the Three Kingdoms period for the five southern counties of Jingzhou, which were strategically important.
"Yizhou is dangerous, fertile for thousands of miles, the land of abundance, and Gaozu became an emperor because of it...... The general led the people of Yizhou out of Qinchuan, and the people dared not eat pot pulp to welcome the general? ”
Liu Bei hurriedly sent troops when Shu was not prepared, which was related to the battle of the national fortunes of Shu and Wu, and the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River became the main passage between the two countries.
Yiling is located in the high mountains and mountains, the force is difficult to deploy, in the case of the Wu army holding the important place and not fighting, the Shu army has to set up dozens of camps on the first line of Wuxia, Jianping to Yiling.
Therefore, the logistics were difficult, the battalion of the hundred miles was scattered, and the troops were scattered, and they were defeated by Lu Xun, Liu Bei was annoyed and ashamed of the defeat of Yiling, and he couldn't afford to fall ill, and died in the White Emperor City, and the battle of Yiling ended like this.
The Battle of Yiling was Liu Bei's last battle, and it was also the most completely lost, losing the national fortune at once, and also losing the possible surname of Sanxing in the Han Dynasty.
It's just that the situation is different now, there is neither Wei nor Wu, and the army led by Wang Hongyi is equivalent to Liu Bei's strength in the official history, both of which are 40,000, but the situation is very different.
As long as the 40,000 army occupies Yiling and responds from Shangyong, it will be able to attack from both sides and capture Jingbei in one fell swoop.
"Lord!" The accompanying guards who came quickly saw Wang Hongyi distracted, and bowed down and said, "Wudu County is too guarded by Lu Bei, and sent an envoy to ask for surrender." ”
On the fifth day of obtaining Hanzhong, Wudu County sent an envoy to surrender on his own initiative, very quickly, Wang Hongyi woke up with an "oh" sound.
Wang Hongyi listened, turned around, pondered for a while, smiled to himself, and said, "It's difficult to break the heart!"
I was immersed in the foreground just now, and I said with a smile: "I'll go back and let him come and see him!"
The accompanying guards responded and retreated to give orders.
Wang Hongyi went back and immediately put out a guard of honor, only to see the steps around him, every five steps, each standing a personal soldier, all standing solemnly with a knife, so that people could not be forced to look.
This majesty and grandeur came out at once.
Under the guidance of a eunuch, the messenger followed, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but change color, and when he reached the hall, he saw a eunuch leading him in.
The envoy only relied on his feelings, and as soon as he entered, he fell to the ground: "Meet the Duke of Shu!"
