Chapter 948 Westward Chang'an (2) Corrected Edition
"Rat slaves are too bullying!"
In the Tai Chi Hall of Chang'an, just after hearing the crying and complaining from his brother Yu Wenshiji, Yu Wenji became angry, afraid and angry, and stood there and cursed.
Just now, when he saw his brother, King Yu and Wen Shiji, who was embarrassed and still entered the palace with a bloody smell, he thought his brother was here to force the palace to rebel. When he heard that Xu's army had suffered a great defeat, not only Feng Yi had already lost, but even Pujin Pass had long been lost, and the third brother, King Yu and Wen Zhiji of Han, also became a prisoner of the Chen army. Immediately afterwards, the second brother, Yu and Wen Shiji, who had a second brother, not only suffered a great defeat in Weibei, but also suffered tens of thousands of soldiers. And even he yesterday.
iThe 30,000 troops and horses that had just been pieced together from various places, plus the remnants of Tongguan, a total of 40,000 troops, actually defeated the Yongfeng Cang in Weinan.
After listening to the fear for a long time, the 40,000 troops were gone, and only Yu Wenshi and his hundreds of subordinates escaped. Until now, Yu Wenshi and his defeated Yu Wenshi and even didn't know how Chen's army passed through the Wei River and how they entered Yongfeng Cang City in one fell swoop.
Forty thousand soldiers are gone, plus the first few
The ten thousand that i threw in Weibei is 50,000 at once.
The 50,000 troops were gone, and Yu Wenji felt that the last little strength was gone, and he was as if he had been pulled back. Xu's troops basically followed Chengdu to confront the Chen army in Changwu. The Chang'an area was already empty, otherwise it would be impossible for Chen thieves to kill thousands of people into Weishuiyuan and seize Fengyi's important town. These 50,000 troops were almost the last force in Guanzhong. Now, even the capital Chang'an, there are only 10,000 imperial guards left.
Fifty thousand soldiers were gone, Feng Yi was lost, and Pujin was also lost.
There are still 10,000 soldiers and horses in Tongguan, 10,000 soldiers and horses in Chang'an, 5,000 Wuguan, 5,000 Sanguan, and 120,000 Changwu.
However, although Changwu's troops were numerous, they were beyond reach. Moreover, the Changwu army had 100,000 troops from both sides of the east and west camps of the Chen army's west and west camps.
The left servant shè Fan Zigai couldn't help asking, "King Qin, Yongfeng Cang is lost, where is the grain? Have you burned it?"
There are tens of millions of stones of grain stored in Yongfeng Warehouse. It is the largest granary in the entire Guanzhong Plain. It is not only responsible for the supply of Tongguan, Pujin and Fengyi Zhucheng, but also a large part of the grain supply in the capital Chang'an relies on the transportation here. Now, what is even more worried about this old prime minister is that if so much grain falls into the opponent, Chen Pojun will no longer have the pressure of logistics supply. He can even rely solely on the grain of Yongfeng Warehouse to replenish 100,000 Chen Jun in Changwu. In this way, Yuwen Chengdu previously proposed to confront Chen Jun for a long time and to delay the future supply of logistics supply to cross the Chen Jun. There is no hope.
Yu Wenshi was gray and smiled bitterly, "At that time, Gu was attacked by Chen's army, and wanted to leave the city first and gather the troops, return to the army and fight again, and regain Yongfeng. Unexpectedly, Chen's army was cunning and deliberately surrounded three queu and one, and then set up ambush outside the Xicheng Gate, and then light cavalry drove them to chase them. When our troops fled for a long time, they were tired of being trapped and tired, they were ambushed our army with heavy cavalry as they wait for the effort. At this point, our army was defeated and there was no more power to return to heaven. Forty thousand soldiers, only eight hundred cavalry broke through the encirclement."
"How many soldiers and horses does Chen Ni have?" Yu Wenhua and his brothers were not even at the time. He had no demeanor at all. He was on the platform and pointed his fingers and jumped, like a woman buying a street.
No wonder he jumped. There were hundreds of thousands of Turkic people in the north of the Chen Dynasty, and the confrontation lasted for a long time. The information he had showed that Chen Pojun had all his guards to the north to prevent the Turkic people half a year ago. Previously, when Chen Kefu went south to Jiangdong to clean up the Shen Luoyan women, it was reported that they used the imperial guards, the village militia, as well as the women's army. Last time the Chen army broke into Longzhong, he had been transferred to Longzhong 100,000 Chen army.
After all the calculations, no matter how much Chen Kefu has already run out of his troops.
But now, the damn Chen Kefu did not create a large army. Not only did he suddenly bypass Zhucheng in Weibei, he raided and captured Fengyi's important town in one fell swoop, and took down the crucial Pujin. If these were just Chen Pojun's cunning, then what would be the defeat of Weibei and Weinan in the next place?
Forty or fifty thousand troops were defeated like this, and the entire army was gone. If anyone told him that Chen thief was just a small group of people, he would immediately cut off his head.
Yu Wenshi lowered his head and his face flushed red. He said for a long time: "When Chen Ni ambushed our army in Weibei, there were 6,700 ambushers in Chaoshang, and more than 10,000 on the banks of the Wei River, which combined about 20,000. I believe that Chen Ni could not have all the troops, so he ignored Fengyi and Pujin. There were at least 10,000 soldiers left in these two cities, so Chen Ni should have more than 30,000 soldiers."
"Thirty thousand? Thirty thousand will kill all your 40,000 people? How did these 30,000 people fly across the Wei River in the middle of the night and fly into Yongfeng City?"
Cui Hongsheng, general of the Left Wu Guard, said: "The Chen army cannot be only 30,000. According to my estimate, after the Chen bandits seized Pujin Pass, they must have drawn their troops in Hongnong, Shangluo, and even Luoyang and entered the pass through the Puyang River Bridge. Although the Wei River is flat, the current season is when the water rises. The Chen bandits can silently build a floating bridge on the Wei River and capture Yongfeng City, which is defending for 40,000 people in one fell swoop, and the troops are at least multiples of Yongfeng. It is very likely that Chen Kefu has transferred all the reserve troops east of Tongguan."
Yu Wenhe sat down on the dragon throne with a little depressed disdain. Now there is no need to guess how many people Chen Jun has, how he crossed the river, and how he seized the city. What Yu Wenhe is most worried about now is that there are only 10,000 troops in Chang'an. After crossing the Wei River and taking Yongfeng Cang, Chen Jun has broken into the Guanzhong Plain. Not only does there be no logistics and food and grass problems, but in front of them, there is already a flat river, and there are only 10,000 troops in Chang'an City.
Yongfeng Cang is only more than 200 miles away from Chang'an. If Chen Pojun comes with a light cavalry,
You can reach the city of Chang'an at night.
"My dear friends, since Yongfeng has been lost, there is no barrier in front of Chen thieves.
At night, Chen thieves can arrive. How should I deal with it? Which love minister has a plan to get rid of the enemy?"
When Fan Zigai was a minister of the Sui Dynasty, he was a defender in the Eastern Capital and had some experience in fighting against Yang Xuangan's attack. He said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the current situation is no longer enough to fight hard. There are no soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, so he can only defend first. The city walls of Chang'an are solid and have not encountered any war in a century. If you stick to it, you can defend for one year."
Linghu Xingda opposed with a pale face: "Hold for one year? Yongfeng Warehouse was lost, and tens of millions of grains and grass fell into the hands of Chen thieves. Chang'an had a lot of grains and grass before, but last time the Lantian king went to Changwu, he had already taken away most of the army's grains and grass. It was originally said that the Lantian king took the grain from Chang'an to get nearby, and Chang'an would later transfer it from Yongfeng Warehouse later. But now the grains and grass in the city have long been gone. The Yongfeng Warehouse had entered Chen thieves' pockets before they were transferred in. I have calculated that the capital now has a population of more than 700,000, and so many people, the grains and grass in Kyoto will last for up to two months. Chen thieves will arrive soon, and they will definitely besieged the city. At that time, the capital could not get food and grass supplies. Chen thieves would not need to attack, and more than 700,000 people in Kyoto could eat us alive."
Yu Wenhua was extremely difficult to see, and said in panic: "What do you think?"
Linghu Xingda suggested: "I think Chang'an cannot be defended. It is better to leave a minister to stay in Chang'an. Your Majesty will avoid his sharp edge before the bandits arrive. It is best to go now, go west, and go to Fufeng Renshou Palace. Renshou Palace is all in place, and you will not be uncomfortable if you go there. Moreover, Renshou Palace is not far from Changwu in the north. When it is critical, you can transfer the army of Lantian King to protect him. If it really doesn't work, Your Majesty can also go south to Sanguan immediately and temporarily avoid Yang Ming, waiting for the future."
When Yu Wenshi heard this, he was indeed a little moved. There are only 10,000 soldiers in Chang'an City now, although Yu Wenshi insisted that Chen Pojun had only 30,000 people. Even if Chen Pojun had only 3,000 people, he would not feel at ease. It would be fine if other Chen generals led the troops, Chen Pojun personally led the troops. Not to mention 30,000, even 3,000, there would be no chance to defend it.
Fan Zigai on the other side was already pointing at Linghu Xingda and cursing: "You are running away, not what the ministers do. You are timid and afraid of war. Have you ever thought that if Your Majesty leaves Chang'an, then Chen Pojun is so close that it is very likely that before Your Majesty arrives at Fufeng Renshou Palace, Chen Pojun has already caught up. At that time, in the wild, how can you resist the enemy? Another one. Fufeng is indeed close to Changwu, but don't forget that Changwu not only has the 120,000 army of Lantian King, but also the 100,000 army of Chen's army. At this time, wouldn't it be that he would fall into the trap? Besides, when going to Sanguan to avoid Hanzhong, Hanzhong is Yang's territory. Although we are allies with Yang Ming now, don't forget that our Xu Jun and the Sui Army fought many times. We are in the Relevant Zhong, and Yang Ming is an ally. If we abandon Guanzhong and enter Hanzhong, can you guarantee that Yang Ming will swallow us in one mouthful?"
When Fan Zigai scolded him, Yu Wenhua thought about it again, but he felt that it made some sense. He could not run away from Chen Pojun, and Yang Ming was not a good person when he was hiding.
"What good advice do you have? But please tell me and teach me."
Fan Zigai scolded Linghu Xingda fiercely. Seeing that the emperor had dispelled his idea of escaping, he immediately said, "The only solution for the present is to stick to Chang'an."
"How to defend it specifically? No soldiers or food?" Yu Wenhua sighed, and he couldn't help but feel a little heroic.
"As long as your Majesty is willing to make up for his determination, our monarch and ministers will be united, and our superiors will be united. I think that if the strength of Chang'an is now, there will be no chance. What I am afraid of is that some people are timid and afraid of fighting and want to escape. When the people in the city are panicked, that is, they will be powerless to turn the world."
Yu Wenhua and his heart had a lot of thoughts. If possible, he certainly wanted to escape. But at this time, he also knew the importance of strengthening the hearts of the people. He ordered the guards to hold his sword and hand it over to Fan Zigai himself, saying: "I will give it all my strength to the servants to do about the defense. If someone is afraid of war, do anything to disrupt our morale. You can use this sword to kill him!"
"I accept the order!" Fan Zigai replied excitedly.
The hall was silent, and the Inner Historian Yuanmin Zhang Yuyan stopped.
"Mr. Yuan, I will not punish you if you have anything to say, no matter whether you are right or wrong."
Yuanmin left the list, "Your Majesty, why not send someone to surrender to Chen Jun?"
When he heard this, many people in the hall felt relaxed, but Yu Wenji's face was black.
Yu Wenshi turned around and shouted angrily: "Rareless!"
Old Man Fan Zigai even pulled out all the sword that the emperor had just given, preparing to kill a warning to him.
"Your Majesty, please spare me! Please let me finish my words!" Yuan Min was so scared that she knelt down and kowtowed desperately.
"Say!" Yu Wenhua said coldly.
Yuan Min wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said in a trembling voice: "I meant not to surrender, but to surrender, to delay the army and gain some time."
"Well!" Yu Wenhua and then looked a little better after hearing this. "What we need now is time, just how to surrender? Then Chen Pojun is not a fool, so I'm afraid it's hard to succeed. Well, since Yuan Shilang has some suggestions, whether it succeeds or not, it's always good to give it a try. In this way, Yuan Shilang, I will let you be fully responsible for this matter."
When Yuanmin heard this, he wanted to slap himself seventeen or eighteen times. At first, he really wanted to persuade Yu Wenhua and surrender to the Chen Dynasty. After all, the current situation was that Chen Pojun occupied Longshang and destroyed Western Qin and Longxi. Guanzhong was originally only three counties left, and now all three counties could not be defended. Chen Pojun and a side army entered the Guanzhong plain, and in a moment he had already obtained Fengyi and Pujin, destroyed another 50,000 troops and captured Yongfeng's granary. There were only 10,000 troops left in the Kyoto Chang'an.
In the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, all heroes compete for hegemony, which was normal. But now, no one can see that the world belongs to Chen Pojun, and the others are just supporting him for a while. Once Chen Pojun comes, who can stop him. These people are originally wealthy families for generations, and no matter who becomes the emperor, they will always be rich. At this time, they are not willing to be loyal to the Yuwen family to the end.
I just heard that I would collect all the servants and serfs from various families in Chang'an City, as well as their food, and implement quantitative rations. This made him very dissatisfied. If he really insisted on resisting to the end, what if Chen Pojun was upset and got angry and came to massacre all the officials and soldiers in the city?
However, he only said one sentence, and was frightened by Yu Wenhua and his fierce eyes. If it weren't for the rapid change behind him, he probably had fallen under Fan Zigai's sword. The old man Fan Zigai was not a good man. Back then, Yang Guang asked him to suppress bandits in the Jianghuai River, but he implemented the three-light policy, killing Jiangnan, killing all the blood-stained earth, burning them all, and robbing them all. Later, there were not many rebels who died under his sword, but there were many children of Luoyang aristocratic officials who died under his sword. Yuan Min didn't want to try the sharp sword, but now he was unable to get off the horse.
Chen Jun was sent to the mission to discuss the surrender with Chen Kefu. If he really surrendered, he would be willing to lead the way for Chen Pojun. But he was going to pretend to surrender. Is Chen Pojun so easy to coax?
Damn, who should I blame myself for being mean? Yuan Min took the imperial edict with a fake smile while blaming him hatefully.
