Chapter 59 Returning to the fiefdom
After Yunfeng captured Ju County, he was not in a hurry to march to Nanzheng. After traveling through the mountains and forests for nearly half a month, the entire army was already exhausted, but the people were better. They had a good meal and a good night's sleep.
You can almost recover to a full extent. But horses are different. They are thin in winter and spring and have to be recuperated for a few days.
Nanzheng, who was only ninety miles away from Ju County, received the news of the fall of Ju County early the next morning. He quickly closed the city gates and strictly prohibited entry and exit. Li Guo, the governor of Puppet Liangzhou, was even more anxious as if someone was on a hot pot.
They are like ants and don't even have the heart to eat breakfast.
It was so sudden, completely at a loss!
He was also paying attention to the battle situation in Qinzhou. However, no intelligence came back from the detailed operations sent out, so he thought that several forces were still fighting endlessly as before, so he had no worries about the attacks from the northwest.
He focused his attack on the east. To the east of Hanzhong are the two counties of Wei Xing and Shangyong, which are affiliated to Jingzhou. From these two counties, you can go upstream along the Han River to Hanzhong.
Li Xiong held the seven counties of Liangzhou, including Hanzhong, Zitong, Guanghan, Basi, Bajun, and Fuling. There was only Badong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, although Li Guo was named the governor of Liangzhou, he only had Hanzhong under his jurisdiction.
A county has only more than 20,000 troops.
He understood that the occupation of Ju County meant that reinforcements from the direction of Jiange could not be reinforced. If they took the Micang Road, even if Chengdu immediately sent troops to help, they would not be able to arrive within a month. What's more, how could Chengdu have such a fast attack?
reaction?
He could only rely on Nanzheng to support himself. As for surrender, he never considered surrender. His relatives were all in Chengdu and did not dare to surrender.
I don’t know whether Tianjimen’s life is good or bad. The disciples they sent have just left the city. It didn’t take long before Li Guo ordered the city gate to be closed tightly. Otherwise, the plan to seize the city gate could not be communicated with Yunfeng.
It can be a waste of time.
After Yunfeng received Zhuge Xian's letter, he wrote back in person, agreeing to use Langyan as a signal. Of course, he would not bet all his money on Tianjimen, and at the same time, he was also making intensive preparations for a strong attack.
Ignoring the turbulent and tense atmosphere in Nanzheng City, the Liangzhou Army rested for three days in Ju County. During this period, Yunfeng also went with Tianjimen to pay homage to the tomb of Zhongwuhou, where Zhuge Liang is buried.
The land of bones.
The Tomb of Marquis Zhongwu is located at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, thirty miles southeast of Ju County. Yunfeng also visited it as a tourist in his previous life. However, he was lucky enough to see the Tomb of Marquis Wu 1,700 years ago. This is probably
Something he never thought of in his previous life?
Except for the fact that the location of Wuhou's tomb did not change at that time, it was completely different from that of later generations. It was a simple bucket-shaped tomb (the shape of a tomb for nobles in the Han Dynasty) with a bluestone tombstone in front. In addition, there were
A Wuhou Temple built by a later master does not have the mountain gate, worship hall, main hall and other large buildings built in later generations.
As a prince, Yunfeng naturally couldn't just look around and sigh with emotion like ordinary people. He had to give a speech in front of everyone.
At that time, no matter which force it was, whether it was Cao Wei or the later Sima clan, Zhuge Liang was still highly respected. The key was that he assisted Liu Chan and did not usurp the throne and stand on his own. In addition, in ancient China, there was a tradition of tabooing the honorable person.
As a result, Yunfeng impassionedly recited "Dingjun Mountain Sigh" by Sun Yingshi of the Song Dynasty.
The poem, a total of one hundred and seventy words, made everyone accompanying him remember him deeply, especially Tianjimen, who were all in awe of Yunfeng. This poem was so well done that it showed that their ancestors were committed to running Hanzhong.
After working hard all their lives for the Northern Expedition, they ended up feeling so sad that their ambitions were not fulfilled. Some even burst into tears on the spot.
There are Huang Zhong's and Ma Chao's tombs around Wuhou's tomb. Yunfeng then paid homage to Huang Zhong's tomb, but Ma Chao's tomb refused to go. When Ma Teng took his family to Yecheng to serve as officials, Ma Chao actually colluded with Han Sui and others.
Ten tribes rebelled and put his father and brother to death. He didn't even care about family ties. How could he be called a master?
After cooking in the early morning of February 15th, Yunfeng officially set up camp, leaving 5,000 infantry to garrison in Ju County, and led 65,000 people to drive to Nanzheng. There was no other way, Ju County must leave enough manpower.
In order to prepare for the Yizhou reinforcements coming from the direction of Jiange, although
It might not be a big deal, but it's always good to take precautions before they happen. In fact, deep down in his heart, he quite hoped that the Yizhou Army would come to the rescue. As long as Ju County could hold on for two days, he could lead the attack.
The cavalry returned to reinforce and defeated the Yizhou reinforcements in one fell swoop.
After a day and a night, the entire army arrived at Nanzheng City early the next morning and immediately set up camp five miles outside the city. Yunfeng was not so arrogant that he could conquer a strong city without careful preparation. In addition, he sent some sergeants to Nanzheng City.
Zheng Yidong recruited two other counties to surrender, Nanxiang County (today's Chenggu County, Shaanxi Province) and Xingdao County (today's Yang County, Shaanxi Province). Each of these two counties had thousands of people garrisoned, so there should not be much difficulty in recruiting them to surrender.
While the sergeants were busy, Yunfeng led his guards to a mile away from the city. He stopped and carefully looked at the city and the surrounding environment. Of course, no one from the Tianji Sect accompanied them. Just kidding, just in case.
After being recognized by the garrison at the top of the city, the fellow disciples inside had no other option but to die.
Although I got a general idea of Yunfeng through the map and Jiang Fa's oral description, it was far from being intuitive in person. Nanzheng is built on the mountain, sitting south and facing north. The Micang Mountain behind it is nearly 500 feet high. The mountain wall is steep and cannot be climbed.
, the Han River passing through the southeast of the city is about fifty feet wide, and a moat was drawn closest to the city as a barrier.
.The water has not yet developed, the flow of the Han River is gentle and the runoff is small. It is completely possible to build a dam to block the entrance to the moat, and then fill the moat with sandbags. The only thing that needs to be taken care of is that the entrance to the moat is only fifty feet away from the city.
The opponent's crossbow and trebuchet are within the attack range, but the trebuchet on his side has not been made yet.
At this time, a voice came from the top of the city: "General Yun! I, Dacheng, have always been on good terms with your Jin country, so why did we bring troops to invade for no reason? We hope you can retreat quickly, so as not to cause any trouble between you and us.
dispute."
"Huh?" Yunfeng looked towards the top of the city and saw a fierce general in his thirties shouting to him. Based on the description of Tianjimen, he should be Li Guo, the governor of Liangzhou.
Yunfeng suddenly felt funny. He discovered that the ancients liked to argue with each other. Did they think that they could retreat the army just by arguing with words?
However, Yunfeng would not lose to anyone when it came to arguing with strong words. He immediately said righteously: "Li Guo was originally named Marquis of Nanzheng by the Emperor of Jin Dynasty. Now he has returned to his own fiefdom. What's the point?
No? If you are interested, you can withdraw the troops from the city as soon as possible. I will allow you to wait until you can return to the sword pavilion. You have to think carefully and don't do anything stupid!"
"You~~" Li Guo suddenly turned red with anger and said angrily: "It's nonsense. Nanzheng is owned by me. How can your family master use this to canonize me?"
Yun Feng cupped his hands to the southeast and sneered: "Li Xiong is a bandit, and he stole Yizhou and became emperor by virtue of the favor of the court. Now I will be ordered by the emperor to lead the king's army to regain his homeland. If you surrender the city,
You can still save your life, otherwise, it will be too late to regret it!" After saying that, Yun Feng ignored him and looked up to the sky with a long smile, then led his guards back to his team.
