Chapter 320 Trends (1)
In October, there were several rains and the autumn wind became colder. At this time, we were urging the counties to collect grain and silver. It can be said that both sides were preparing.
"My dear sirs, I'm really sorry. This is what our king meant. The king has given an order to return to Chengguo immediately and not stop halfway. Otherwise, if something happens, don't blame me." An official bowed his hand and said.
"Please tell your king, and we understand, and say goodbye, and there will always be a time to meet in the future." Li Taiqiong bowed and headed to the outside of the city.
The envoys followed closely, and although they were almost driven out of Chang'an, they were not in a mess at all.
"It's really arrogant." The official who looked at them leaving, with a contemptuous expression put away his expression and sighed.
"Sir, wouldn't this result be the Emperor Dacheng?" One man said with a frown when he saw no one around.
"There is no way to do this. We are now the ministers of the King of Qin." The official lowered his voice and said.
Understanding the word now, the people around him nodded silently and sighed.
These people did not want to get into evil with the Dacheng Dynasty, but the King of Qin had an order, and those who were ministers could only do things according to the order. But when they left, the officials sighed.
When two armies fight, they will not kill them. This is the rule.
Guo Wentong had no kindness and would not kill the envoys, but he was not well-behaved. He had seen the envoys and refused to surrender and ordered people to drive them out of the city that day. In fact, it was expected.
Riding on the horse and looking back at the farther away Chang'an City, Li Taiqiong said: "When you go back, you must report to Your Majesty. Don't be angry, Your Majesty will be in trouble."
"What the lord said is that it won't take long to come to Chang'an again." After looking back, these people stopped stopping and rode their horses away, leaving only a smog of dust.
Before the envoy came back, Luoyang Miwen Pavilion received a memorial. Zhang Youzhi ordered the officials on duty in Miwen Pavilion to come in to report. After a moment, an eunuch came out to pass the imperial eunuch: "The emperor called Jin."
"Yes!" Zhang Youzhi bowed and agreed, headed inside, and when he arrived at the study, he heard Wang Hongyi say in the imperial study: "Is Zhang Youzhi coming? Come in!"
"Please greet the emperor!" Three kneelings and nine kowtows are the righteous rituals, so you don't need to see them every day. Zhang Youzhi bowed and stood up.
Zhang Youzhi said: "There is something important to report."
As he said that, he handed over the note.
"Well, it's a memorial about King Guo Wentong of Qin." Wang Hongyi took it, smiled and said, and then expanded to watch it, looking carefully page by page.
Zhang Youzhi gave him a seat and served tea. Seeing Wang Hongyi reading expressionlessly, he pushed the note away for a moment and walked down the ground, saying, "It was as expected."
He said to Zhang Tingyu: "What do you think about this?"
Zhang Youzhi bowed and replied: "This matter has been agreed upon. Now that the persuasion of surrender cannot be completed, I will report to the world and raise an army to attack Qin."
After hearing this, Wang Hongyi said coldly: "You are right, I will follow it. The imperial edict is ready. Now you will issue an edict immediately to send troops from Hanzhong, and I will raise an army to force Tongguan to restrain its main force!"
Zhang Youzhi responded, and pondered for a while and said, "Emperor, the army is forcing Tongguan to restrain its main force, which is a major policy, but Qin Chuan is actually at the end of his journey. As long as the emperor is open to his kindness, he will order Qin. "If other counties surrender, Guo Wentong will not surrender, what about other counties and generals?"
"It's really a conspiracy to plan the country!" Wang Hongyi's eyes shone, he turned around and picked up his pen happily, wrote an edict quickly, and said, "That's it!"
First year of Hongwu, November 2
Yuan Yu looked at the sky and saw that the sky was dark and it seemed as if it was already evening. But in fact, it was still a few hours before it was dark.
"Sir, the time has come..." A personal soldier urged him to come forward and reminded him that this time, he rushed to the border to support him in accordance with the will of the King of Qin.
Because of the urgent matter, the episode was set off immediately before the end.
Yuan Yu issued a cold order: "Get on the horse and get ready to go!"
"Yes!" Behind them were 5,500 people. After receiving Yuan Yu's order, they responded together, and the army was dispatched, trembling faintly in front of the ground.
At this time, there were many passers-by on the street, and it was not that it was half a night. The people in the city had not yet arrived to rest. The shops on the road were basically open, and there were many guests entering and leaving.
At this time, the fierce aura of the army was all holding, which made the frightened people shut their mouths.
Recently, there have been a lot of news coming from the border, and some of them have been heard of by the people and secretly discussed.
The atmosphere has become more and more tense in the past two days. Even if I feel uneasy, in front of outsiders, the people are cautious in their words and actions, and no one dares to discuss them any more.
So many soldiers rushed out of the camp in the city, fully armed, not only wearing armor and weapons, but also carrying longbows behind them. Behind the cavalry team, there were more than a dozen large carts in the infantry camp, with horses and supplies. They were led by the generals and galloping outside the city.
"It seems that the situation in Guancheng is not optimistic." The boss sighed softly when he saw this scene.
Those who saw this scene were secretly speculating on the situation ahead.
Three days ago, the Emperor of Chengguo announced an order to start the war. Everyone was in the heart of Qinchuan. The King of Qin had been ruled here for many years, so he was of great prestige and shocking.
But the reputation of Dacheng Army is also known throughout the world. What is the result of this battle, which has touched the hearts of too many people, and there is even undercurrents in the Qin world.
The autumn rain has just stopped, the coldness is forcing people
November 8, Tongguan
Yuan Yu arrived, and at first glance, it seemed that the battle was over, blood and corpses were accumulating, and a large number of wounded soldiers were transporting, and it was obvious that the battle was over.
Yuan Yu walked up to the corner of the gate tower. He saw that the soldiers in the city were spurred by the soldiers, and the soldiers flowed through like ants, transporting bricks, stones and wood to the city.
The camp outside the city was continuous for several miles, and the entire Dacheng Army camp was filled with a sense of slaughter.
The flag was floating, watching from the city, and a solemn atmosphere filled with it. Yuan Yu narrowed his eyes and felt a little worried. As the rumors said, this great army was an incredible elite soldier.
Yuan Yu is an experienced general. He has a very good understanding of the battlefield and can tell the general reality as soon as you watch it.
By watching the scale of the Dacheng army, as well as the attitude and military spirit, you will know that this attack on Tongguan is inevitable.
At this time, a team was coming up and seeing no one around, and whispered: "General, coach Chang Boyuan took people to steal the camp last night, but he didn't want to be plotted against by the other party, which cost thousands of people. He is now in anger."
Yuan Yu nodded. This should be a fact. Now even the reinforcements of his own were not summoned as soon as possible. Moreover, it was obvious that the morale in the military camp was very low.
Several people who were obviously officers had gloomy faces and led people to patrol the city.
After getting off the city, Yuan Yu and a few personal soldiers walked around the city. There were not many people on the streets here.
After a few days of siege, I have already left the city. If I can't leave the city, I will close my doors and doors. I will never be walking outside without any urgent matters.
"General, the city is empty and there is nothing to see, go to the military camp to see it.
"A personal captain reminded him: "And maybe the commander will be summoned."
Yuan Yu thought that although the person he brought had arranged for the deputy general to be resettled, he still had to go and take a look at the specific resettlement.
Strictly speaking, the team led by Yuan Yu and the ones were not the direct descendants of the King of Qin. When Qinchuan fought in unification, they surrendered to Guo Wentong with their previous lords.
His original lord died of illness shortly after surrendering, leaving only his youngest son and entrusted it to Yuan Yu.
Yuan Yu and several generals lost their lords and expressed their loyalty to the King of Qin, so they were gradually valued. However, if they had to have five thousand troops in their hands and never showed any signs of water, there might not be no disaster.
Yuan Yu walked towards the military camp, his face sinking like water, making people unable to figure out what he was thinking about at this time.
When he was walking by a barracks filled with wounded soldiers, a burst of beatings and scolding made him frown slightly.
Several soldiers tied up in front of everyone were tortured by sticks. When they looked at their eyes, their faces were empty and their expressions were dull. I was afraid that the situation was not good.
Their buttocks were already bloody and the military sticks fell down one after another.
Yuan Yu's eyes swept around and saw the fearful expression on the faces of the onlookers.
"What's going on?" Zhi's personal soldiers went to inquire. After leaving, Yuan Yu asked around halfway.
"General, these are deserters. They were captured and killed in public.
"Deserter?" Yuan Yu was slightly stunned, unable to see his aura, but just murmured: "There are deserters at this time just a few days ago?"
When there are deserters, most of them have no chance of winning in the battle, and the soldiers are uneasy, pretending to be a scattered bird and beast, or escaping in the chaos, or making a detachment in the face of the battle, which is normal.
But now, the Dacheng Army has approached Tongguan for several days, and even Qinchuan has not entered yet. It is very bad to have deserters at this time. This is what the morale of the army and the will of the people.
Yuan Yu couldn't help but remembered his thoughts again, his eyes deep.
Soon he arrived at the camp where the reinforcements were located. Yuan Yu stopped thinking about this. The very dilapidated and messy camp in front of him made his face gloomy.
"General, they said that the general has an order, so they can only camp in such a place." The deputy general greeted and said.
Yuan Yu said lightly: "Since it is the commander of the Grand Marshal, let's do it first."
Yuan Yu didn't say much, and he took some supplies before leaving and immediately sent him to send him the order.
Yuan Yu was very strict in the army. Even though the camp was dilapidated and messy, after an hour, thousands of people started to clean up first. Inside and outside the house, everywhere in the camp, finally swept out ten meters high garbage piles.
There is no fire in the city, so people are digging holes to fill it. After cleaning, they are cleaned up, making everyone feel much more refreshed. They count the barracks, take care of the miscellaneous items, and set up tents.
In another hour, the entire camp was immediately strict. Yuan Yu watched some young lieutenants busy, and saw the smoke rising again. The main thing was the big cake. He could only hear the sizzling sounds and the fragrance was swelling, and then he smiled.
