Chapter 128: The trick to capture the city

"We are the royal army of the court. Now that the court has fought back, your hardships are over. Are you happy?" Liu Hezi was excited to give speeches to two thousand Han soldiers.

In order to attack Lueyang, Li Jun asked Xu Guanghan to send special forces into the city in advance, preparing to cooperate inside and outside to take down Lueyang in one fell swoop. Xu Guanghan carried out this task well and sent hundreds of special forces into the city. As soon as Liu Hezi and his friends entered the city, they acted together and took down Lueyang in no time. The battle began when the sun had just set, and when night fell, Lueyang, the one who was about to rush to the city, returned to the court.

The Mongolian army was caught off guard and had no time to resist. They either killed or became prisoners. Liu Hezi was not polite to the Mongolians and locked them up. Regarding the Han army, Liu Hezi decided to surrender in consideration of the current special circumstances, so he gave a speech to them, hoping to use this to touch their hearts and make them surrender to the court.

Liu Hezi knew very clearly that when the Song army advanced into Guanzhong, the Mongolians would react very fiercely and would immediately mobilize large troops to attack the Song army. The Song army would not have any more artillery in a short period of time. Not to mention, even other troops could only arrive in batches. The troops in his hands were extremely limited, and Xu Guanghan's special forces were only 3,000 people. With this, the pitiful troops confronted the upcoming Mongolian army, and the strength was very different.

Considering that the main force could not arrive in a short time and gave him strong support, Liu Hezi put his ideas on the Han army. His idea was indeed good. If nearly two thousand Han army were surrendered, his strength would increase greatly, and the benefits would be self-evident.

"Good." The Han army cooperated very much and shouted loudly.

After hearing this voice, Liu Hezi thought there was a chance and was happy, saying, "The Tartars raped, plundered, burned, killed, robbed, your ancestors, your parents, brothers and sisters were deeply harmed by the Tartars. The Tartars regarded you as inferior nations, enslaved you, and did not regard you as human beings. It was you who sent you to death, and it was the Tartars who received the merits. Do you hate the Tartars?"

All he said was facts. The Han army either experienced it personally or some of their relatives and friends had it. He shouted: "Hate!"

"The court preferential treatment for you. If you are willing to contribute to the court, the court will welcome you. If you are unwilling, the court will send you travel expenses to go home. If you are willing to contribute to the court, stand to the right." Liu Hezi began to implement Li Jun's policy towards the Han army.

As soon as he finished speaking, almost five hundred people left the line and stood on the right.

Liu Hezi had the idea to surrender all the two thousand Han troops, and only 500 people responded. His expectations were pitifully small. He frowned slightly and asked, "Is there any?"

The Han army looked at each other, hesitated for a while, and walked out about a hundred people.

There were only about 600 people in total, and Liu Hezi's brows became even tighter. Xu Guanghan, who was watching from the side, also frowned. Jiao Yu became angry and stood in front of the Han army and cursed: "Damn, are you dogs... people, are you cheap? The Tartars enslaved you and whipped you with whips all day long, and you ran faster than dogs. The court treated you preferentially, but you didn't contribute to the court. Hey, it's really cheap!" He wanted to scold a dog traitor, but he thought it was too heartbreaking, and it was not in line with the situation of surrender at this time, so he didn't scold him.

Jiao Yu cannot be blamed for being impatient. The situation is really special. One more person, the more strength you have.

Liu Hezi patted Jiao Yu and stopped him from talking. Liu Hezi knew that Jiao Yu's personality was a little anxious. He was not good at speaking but would have bad things, so he stopped him. He said to the Han army that had not surrendered: "You don't know that the current court is not the previous court. The court has won many victories, from Lin'an to here and to Lueyang. If you contribute to the court, you will have a bright future. You will be promoted, you will become rich, and you will be promoted. You and your descendants will benefit from your correct choice today for life. Compatriots, please submit to the court."

If you can move it with emotion and understand it with reason, then you can use the promotion of the title to lure it. Unfortunately, there are many responders.

A Han army asked boldly: "Sir, did you really send us a travel fee to go home? I have my mother and children at home. I haven't seen them for many years. I just want to go home to be filial and see my son." After that, I was already crying like rain, and I squatted on the ground and started crying.

Since the Mongols occupied the Han people's territory, things like this Han army have happened many times. Liu Hezi patted his shoulder with sympathy and said, "The court keeps his word. Come on, give him ten taels of silver." He took the silver from Jiao Yu and handed it to the Han army, patted his shoulder, and said, "Brother, go home. When you get home, please give me Liu Hezi and the court a greeting to your mother."

"Thank you, General." The Han army couldn't believe it was true. After hesitating for a while, he was about to kneel down and kowtow to Liu Hezi. Liu Hezi hurriedly supported him and said, "Brother, don't do this, don't do this. Brother, you go back to your hometown and tell the fellow villagers that the court is back."

The Han army said excitedly: "Yeah." He was so excited that he couldn't even say anything.

Xu Guanghan patted his shoulder and said affectionately: "Brother, please leave quickly, don't let your mother wait for a long time."

The Han army nodded with tears, turned around and was about to leave. Liu Hezi shouted, "Brother, wait a moment." He led a war horse and handed the reins to his hand, saying, "Brother, just ride your horse home, hurry up."

Such a good thing was hard to believe that the Han army could not believe it was true. They stood stupidly without any reaction. After a while, they knelt in front of Liu Hezi and said, "General, the young man will not leave anymore, the young man will follow the court to fight the Tartars."

Liu Hezi helped the Han army up and said, "Brother, go home. Your mother, your wife, and your lovely son are all waiting for you. If you fight the Tartars, you will have opportunities in the future." He helped the Han army get on the horse, slapped it on the horse's butt, and waved his hand, "Brother, go."

The Han army choked and said, "Long live the imperial court! General, my name is Wang Dabao, I will come back to find you." He turned around constantly, his face full of tears.

With the example of this Han army, more than 300 Han army that had not surrendered went to the right, and thousands of people surrendered.

It was already very good for half of the people to surrender. Liu Hezi was still not satisfied and continued to move with emotion and reason with reason. These Han troops were like stubborn stones, but they just did not surrender.

Liu Hezi was so angry. If it weren't for the special situation, he would have sent them a trip fee to get out of here so that they wouldn't get angry.

Jiao Yu stomped his feet and said angrily: "It would be great if the emperor was here." Li Jun was resourceful and had no choice but to make plans, and it was difficult to predict. When encountering difficulties, Jiao Yu thought of Li Jun.

His words were very heart-warming for Xu Guanghan, and he nodded and said, "Yes, if the emperor is here, it would be easier."

Liu Hezi said regretfully: "Don't think about the emperor. The emperor doesn't know where it is. The distance water cannot save the near fire."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came: "Okay, Liu Hezi, you know that you are talking bad things behind your back. I mean, why are my ears so hot? It turns out that they were told to you." There is a saying among the people that someone is talking about himself, and his ears will become hot. In fact, this is nonsense, which Li Jun used to joke about.

Liu Hezi, Xu Guanghan and Jiao Yu were overjoyed, and the three of them shouted together: "Emperor." When they encountered difficulties, Li Jun, an expert who cleaned up the mess, arrived. There was nothing wrong with it, and it would be impossible to make them unhappy.

Li Jun strode with Duan Ganmu and a group of guards, his gait was light, as if they did not cross the Qinling Mountains, but were walking in the garden, and he didn't feel tired at all. Not only did Li Jun not get tired, but Duan Ganmu and the others were also relaxed and comfortable, but also sang while walking and humming tunes, as if they were not marching, but were sightseeing.

During the Battle of Gaixia, Zhang Liang played the Chu song and dispersed the soldiers of the King of Chu; Guan Zhong’s “Yellow Swan” saved his life and passed down through the ages. Li Jun took the lead in singing folk songs in northern Shaanxi, so the soldiers naturally became much more relaxed. It was impossible to be relaxed and comfortable if Li Jun was not relaxed.

Liu Hezi and the others knew about this. The surprise in their hearts could not be described by the pen and ink. They looked at Li Jun straight and didn't even know how to say anything.

What a delicate person, Li Jun, how could he not know the reason why they thought. He smiled and said, "Are you surprised that I was so leisurely in the Qinling Mountains?" This question was exactly what Liu Hezi and the others thought, and they all listened to Li Jun's answer. Unfortunately, Li Jun was a very uncooperative person and said, "Then I won't tell you." Li Jun was joking. Liu Hezi and the others understood that Li Jun was in a good mood, but they didn't get the answer, and they felt very sorry in their hearts.

"You are moving very quickly, and you will take down Lueyang so quickly." Li Jun was very satisfied with Liu Hezi and the others' performance and asked, "Did you encounter a problem?"

Jiao Yu immediately said, "Yes, Master. Look at them..." Li Jun shook his hand to stop the following words. Li Jun was extremely smart, and there was no reason that he could not see. He smiled and said, "It's okay, a small matter." He walked to the Han army that had not surrendered and said, "I understand your difficulties. If you don't surrender to the court, you are afraid that the Tartars will deal with your family, so I will not force you to part. Let's have a good time before giving you travel expenses, let's sing a song to see you off."

With a wave of his hand, Duan Ganmu hurriedly directed the guards to stand, waiting for Li Jun to start.

At this time, Li Jun was still in the mood to sing. If Li Jun hadn't been a god-like status, Jiao Yu would have said that Li Jun was crazy.

Although Liu Hezi didn't know that Li Jun used folk songs to march, he thought that Li Jun would never do meaningless things, and must have had a clever plan, and was ready to listen to the following text. Unfortunately, Li Jun's subsequent performance disappointed him. In his opinion, Li Jun must have been making a witty remark, and he used his innocence to persuade the Han army that had not surrendered. Unexpectedly, Li Jun sang: "My family lives on the Loess High Slope, sing!"

Duan Ganmu, who had cooperated with many times, sang with a group of guards: "My home lives on the loess high slope, and strong winds blow from the slope. Whether it is the southeast wind or the northwest wind, it is my song, my song..."

"This is this..." Liu Hezi, the resourceful military commander, never expected that Li Jun really did what he said, never fired empty guns and sang just by raping. He was unbelievable for a moment, and he didn't know how many words he said in one breath.

Xu Guanghan stared at this incredible scene with his tiger eyes as if he was so surprised that he had never been so surprised by the millions of Mongolian troops.

Jiao Yu stomped on the ground with heavy feet and said, "This, Master, are you..." Li Jun waved his hand at him and said, "Sing, you sing too." Although Jiao Yu was unwilling, he could not disobey Li Jun's will, so he had to hum gently.

"And you, General Liu, sing with you." Li Jun knew very well that Liu Hezi didn't know the lyrics, but just asked him to sing with you. Liu Hezi had no choice but to learn from Jiao Yu's appearance and hummed with you.

Under Li Jun's command, Xu Guanghan, the Song army here, and the surrendered Han army all sang "Loess High Slope". For a moment, a powerful song sounded from the head of Lueyang City.

After singing the first time, Li Jun smiled and said, "Come on, come and sing again. My family lives on the Loess High Slope, sing." Under the leadership of Duan Ganmu and a group of guards, Liu Hezi and the others started singing again.

"Loess Plateau" is a folk song in northern Shaanxi, with authentic Qin Opera and Qin Opera. Most of these Han soldiers are from Shaanxi. They have been used to Qin Opera since childhood and speak Qin Opera. At first, they are very familiar with it. When they know the lyrics, they sing it. Even those Han soldiers who did not surrender also sing. They started humming in a low voice, and later they let go of their throats and sang loudly.

Li Jun is a native of Shaanxi. He is knowledgeable and has a lot of knowledge about the anecdotes and interesting stories about Shaanxi. He knows a lot of folk songs. He sang "Loess High Slope" several times before teaching them "Xintianyou". He taught them one after another, but not five songs yet. Some of these unsuccessful Han soldiers walked to the right while singing.

When they walked alone, everyone helped them. More and more Han troops who had not surrendered stood to the right. In less than a stick of incense, all Han troops, like stubborn stones, stood to the right. Except for Wang Dabao, all Han troops in Lueyang surrendered to the court. With these two thousand Han troops, Li Jun's army in Guanzhong increased a lot.

The songs we have too many contacts in our daily lives and cannot attract people's attention at all. In fact, the songs have a very great effect. There is no need to mention the story of "The Yellow Swan" saving Guan Zhong and Zhang Liang's Chu Qu'er's Soldiers.

To put it more exaggeratedly, World War II was triggered by a song, which is the national anthem of Germany.

After the head of state came to power, he asked the then German President Hindenburg for dictatorship. Hindenburg was very unhappy and said that if the German parliament passed, he would sign it. Hindenburg was just an excuse, because the opposition forces at that time were in absolute dominance and it was impossible to pass it in parliament. His purpose was to make the head of state retreat. However, the progress of the facts was greatly outweighed the general's surprise, and the dictatorship bill was actually passed.

The reason is that the German national anthem. The head of state delivered a speech to the parliament with an absolutely tough attitude, demanding dictatorial power, and the opposition did not give in and the two sides were in a stalemate. Later, the Imperial Marshal, then Speaker Gorene, took the lead in singing the German national anthem, which was responded by the Nazi MPs. Later, the opposition MPs also joined the ranks of singing. At the end, no one dared not to sing the national anthem. In the end, the dictatorship bill passed, which laid the spark for the outbreak of World War II.

Liu Hezi and the others knew about these magical stories related to songs. They looked at the Han army walking to the right with extremely surprised eyes, so surprised that they didn't even know how to say the words of praise.

Baoji was called Chen Cang in ancient times. The story of Han Xin's "building a plank road openly and crossing Chen Cang secretly" happened here. The name of Baoji was only used in the Tang Dynasty, and the name Chen Cang in the Qin Dynasty was used before.

According to Feng Menglong in "Records of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty", there is a mythical story in the name of Baoji. This story took place during the reign of Duke Mu of Qin. Duke Mu of Qin dreamed that Mrs. Bao asked him to dream of him and asked Duke Mu of Qin to build a temple for her, which could ensure that his future generations were prosperous. After waking up from the dream, Mu Menggong went hunting, caught a green chicken, built a temple, and enshrined the green chicken inside. When it was late at night, the sound of the rooster crowing was heard. It was Mrs. Bao's husband who came to meet him.

There is a pair of green roosters, one male and one female. The Qin Mugong got the female rooster, so he could only become one of the five hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period. The one who got the male rooster was Liu Xiu, so he revived the Han Dynasty, and only in Chinese history was the prosperous era of "Guangwu Revival".

These are all legends and cannot be true. One thing is certain that Baoji is the birthplace of Zhou and Qin culture and an important city in Guanzhong. If the Southern Song Dynasty took Baoji, the gates of Guanzhong would be completely opened, and the Southern Song army could traverse the 800-mile Qinchuan area.

Baoji's strategic position is extremely important. The Mongolian sect has a large army stationed. If Li Jun wants to take over this place, it is almost impossible for him to take over the army he has. However, the magical Li Jun once again staged a magical scene. Not only did he easily take over Baoji, but he also had no blood. It is really unbelievable.

Li Jun walked in the army accompanied by Duan Ganmu and said to Liu Hezi: "You are responsible on the left, you must ensure safety and not disturb the Mongolians."

"Prince, please rest assured, I will complete the task." Liu Hezi patted his chest to guarantee and asked, "Prince, can this be done?"

Liu Hezi has always been very confident in Li Jun. There is one thing that makes him suspect that Li Jun cannot do. However, what Li Jun is about to do makes him really hard to believe that this will come true. Don’t say that Liu Hezi is hard to believe, except for Li Jun himself who believes that it will succeed, no one believes that this is useful, because Li Jun’s method is too ridiculous.

"It doesn't matter whether you succeed or not, what's important is that you have to do it." Li Jun said in a philosopher's tone.

Liu Hezi muttered in his heart: "Even though he knew it was useless, he would do it in vain." But he said, "The emperor's words are reasonable."

"It's a verbal but not a heart." Li Jun commented with a smile, "Call them to start."

A group of Song soldiers wearing shepherd's clothes walked out, and fell with lotus flowers, saying, "In March, the sun is sunny, the cattle are coming to the edge of the village, the wild flowers are red and beautiful, the grass is green and fresh, the yellow orioles are yelling on the branches, and the white geese play in the water. Today, the scenery is beautiful, the mountain singing is singing and singing in the sky."
