Chapter 859 South of the Battle City, Dead Guobei (Continued 2)
In the extremely gloomy and cold winds are more and more bitter, the governor of Zhaoyi Army in Hedong Road, outside Shangdang City, Luzhou (now Changzhi County, Shanxi). He had seized the three states of Xingming and Ci in Hebei, which were under the jurisdiction of Zhaoyi Army, and had broken through the natural dangers of Jingxing through the internal forces of the Chengde Army, Yuhou, the Yanei Du of Chengde Army, who had also looked proudly at the lonely city surrounded by flags and camps on all sides.
Because not long ago, the last reinforcements sent from Zezhou (now Yangquan, Shanxi) north of Shangdang (basin), together with the leading general Zezhou governor and regiment training envoy Li Yinrui, were defeated by the ambush he had stepped forward in Liulibei, and were captured in the formation. Therefore, in his opinion, Zezhou, whose troops were divided and defense were extremely empty, was just a matter of being captured.
After all, the former Zhao Yi Army governor, Meng Fangli, and his younger brother Meng Qian, were successively destroyed in the Battle of Chang'an with the essence of Zhao Yi Army's combat power. Therefore, in fact, the city was expelled by Meng and was invited back after the expedition. The military supervisor Wu Quanxu, who was supported by the army, was the new subordinate Meng Dao, and the commander Xi Zhongxin, and others in charge of the situation.
But in fact, before Wang Rong led Chengde's army to the city, there were already Ma Shuang, the governor of Mingzhou who fled back, in Shangdang City, including Ma Gai and Yuan Fengtao, all of whom the civil and military departments were secretly engaging in the Quqi or bargaining with him to negotiate possible surrender. In addition, he also obtained an important figure in Cizhou, which was Gao Shi, the former governor of Zhaoyi who was once slapped and expelled by Meng Fangli.
Therefore, in the case of both the title of great power and the advantages of strength, and many internal responses in the city, even in Shangdang City, Wu Quanxu and others still want to fight to the end. It is certain that his ambition for this state city will definitely win.
Just as there were a burst of shouts of killings on the city wall, the Zhaoyi Army, which was full of storms and panic, was also a cold and cold scene. In the whistle and cold wind blowing through the beams and pillars of the windows, Meng Dao, who was newly elected as the descendant of the Zhaoyi Army, was also drinking glass after glass of wine with a red face.
Until the thick door curtain and tent were lifted up, a cold wind blew in front of Meng Dao, and the alcohol on his body also faded away. However, he still raised his head with drunken eyes and said slowly to the person who came:
"Dalang, why are you here?"
"Sir, are you just waiting for death?"
He is called "Dalang" and is Meng Zhixiang, who is still handsome and handsome at the age of fifteen or sixteen, said unswervingly:
"So what can I do? Do you know that this staying handsome is not what I want, but they forced me to sit on... What else can I do? If you and my father and son don't agree to this generation, you, my father and son will not even have the chance to sit still and wait for death!"
Meng Dao shook his head and waved his hands:
"Because of this, adults should work hard and think they can save themselves!"
Meng Zhixiang, who was not as powerful as the one in the weak, said sternly.
"How to save yourself? Just because of the few people left by your uncle (Meng Fangli), I am afraid that even the Jieya can't get out?"
Meng Dao, who tried hard to open a line, couldn't help but scold: You must know that the generals and servants in this yamen have all run away. Otherwise, with his dignified and handsome man, why should he drink this cold dish by himself without anyone serving?
"It's different now! Seeing the survival of life and death, the yamen generals and officials naturally want to follow me, Meng, and seek a way out!"
Meng Zhixiang's face turned red but took a step forward and said anxiously:
"What's the way to survive?"
Now Meng Dao suddenly woke up completely from the drunkenness and sweating. Even a glass of wine and metal poured on his beard and jaw were unaware of it.
"Of course, it's a way to survive in death!"
Meng Zhixiang responded without hesitation. It was not until this moment that Meng Dao looked at his eldest son who was not as weak as if he had regained his relationship.
Half an hour later, Wu Quanxu, the military supervisor who was digging Ding Zhuang and grain machinery in the city, also stepped into the empty house of the yamen and the ward. He passed through the hall without any obstacles and crossed many corridors and doors before he appeared outside the living pavilion where Meng Dao was.
Here he finally saw an old Cangtou who was waiting outside with many wrinkles on his face so that his eyes could not be opened, but he couldn't help but mutter:
"This is too unreasonable... Wherever people go, it's the decent way of a town's court."
At this time, a weak summoning came finally:
"After staying, please invite Wu Dujian to come in and talk to him..."
Wu Quanxu, who had a white face and a blood-blooded eyes, couldn't help but frown when he heard this, but walked in. However, after he walked straight through several curtains, he did not see Meng Dao, who was pushed up in the inner room decorating Fuhua, but there was only one equally empty and cold salivation leftovers.
He couldn't help but feel a sudden tightening in his heart. He quickly raised his foot without hesitation and ran outward, shouting sharply:
"Come..."
The next moment, a blade stabbed into his back from the back of the curtain turned Wu Quanxu's shouts into a short and shrill scream. In an instant, the blood that splashed out stained a large area of curtains, but he rolled on the ground wrapped in the curtain and tried hard to climb outwards. He screamed for help again:
"Come..."
Then he saw a sharp sword raising a sideways behind Liangzhu and slashing it down again; the next moment, Wu Quanxu's head, which had a white face and no need to look, rolled out a large piece of blood on the ground with a pool of blood. At this time, Meng Dao, who was full of fear, walked out of the back tent again. Looking at Wu Quanxu who was already in a different place, he still couldn't believe that this military commander, who was very popular in the city and was even elected as the commander of the Democratic Commander, was killed by his son.
The sudden burst of swords and swords and slashes gradually ended. Then, everyone brought Ma Gai in with a head to report:
"The prison soldiers brought by Wu Yizhe are still sentenced to death... Please stay behind and tell me?"
At this time, Meng Dao shrank slightly and turned his attention to his son Meng Zhixiang who planned all this, and stuttered according to the prior agreement:
"This...this...this is my son who has fully handled the matter on his behalf."
"Abide by the orders of Lord!"
Meng Zhixiang paused without hesitation
After another hour, Wang Rong, the head general of the German army tent outside the city, also presented a projection letter from the top of the city. However, after reading it, he looked at the side and laughed:
"The remnants of the Meng family in the city ask for surrender. As long as the family and life are preserved, they can kill the defender and offer the city?"
"Congratulations, everyone can get the place of Shangdang."
The yaqian general Zhang Wenli shouted without hesitation: Then the other people reacted and echoed:
"Yanei is the destiny of heaven..."
"This is God helping our army..."
"There are thousands of victories in Chengde, and the yamen is thousands of victories in Yanei!"
Therefore, not long after, Wang Rong, who was wearing a helmet and armor, also dismounted and helped Meng Dao, the Zhaoyi army who was leading the mutton to surrender, and comforted a few words of a large number of generals and school kneeling behind him, and then led his troops into the city. Then, amid some noise of crying and scolding, the occupying army began to routinely liquidate and loot the losers.
Since the most resistance forces were gathered and the most solid capital Shangdang City, the capital that had gathered as the land of Zelu, was taken down, and it was only a matter of time to make a declaration of more than a dozen other cities scattered in the Shangdang Basin. Therefore, Wang Rong was undoubtedly happy and relieved at this moment, but he felt a little lost.
Because most of the early preparations for this attack were actually planned by his father, Wang Jingchong, Wang Changshan, and the layout was completed early; and as long as he seized the opportunity, he would help the troops to set up the formation step by step, collecting the fruits of victory one by one. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but lick his thirsty mouth, wanting to find other fun and comfort in the boring and monotonous military.
The closest personal soldiers had already taken action with great knowledge and began to search for the newly occupied back houses of the losers, thinking that they would find the younger and more beautiful "spy" who was in line with the taste of the yamen for a good interrogation and investigation under the account.
However, the cavalry that rushed into the city from the north brought him good news and bad news. The good news was that the marching Sima Li Ai sent by him had already captured Zezhou (now Yangquan, Shanxi). The bad news was that as the Heping Town of Lutai Valley Road connecting Zezhou, Jinzhong, Taiyuan and other places, the Lutai Valley Road was first occupied by an army with black flags.
Despite this, Wang Rong did not care too much after sending reinforcements. Amid the clamor of the soldiers who kept robbing with fire and sticks overnight, he began to concentrate on enjoying the concubines left by the three generations of the commander of Gao Xun, Gao Xi and Meng Fangli. However, when Wang Rong, who had been enjoying himself in the gentle village for three days, was awakened by the closest soldiers again at night, he received bad news that he would not be deducted.
King Changshan, who had improved his health, Wang Jingchong, the governor of Chengde, blew the wind after drinking at the Houzhai party, and his condition worsened again and he couldn't get up. Therefore, Zhou Shi, the judge who stayed in the local area, sent many messengers at the first time, and Kuaima Jiancheng came to report the message.
Wang Rong, who heard the news of this drastic change, also issued the first order:
"Send a messenger to the Meng clan who is moving to the territory of Xingzhou, and kill all the subordinates of the surrendered generals..."
——I am the dividing line that kills all the things—
And outside Taiyuan City, which is also a natural place in the hinterland of Hedong Town.
