Chapter 659 Unbearable(1/2)
The Huainan army in Hongzhou and Huainan siege for a month and did not launch a siege.
In Guangling Military Camp, Fan Sicong, Chen Fan and Zhu Sixian couldn't sit still and discussed together.
"I think Qin Pei has bad intentions. If the king does not have our protection in Yangzhou, will he be subject to mutiny?" Fan Sicong said, conjecture of conspiracy theory.
"I also think it's wrong. What Qin Pei said at first seems reasonable, but if you continue to waste, when will it be the end?" Chen Fan said impatiently, hoping to return to Yangzhou as soon as possible.
Zhu Sizhi said, "Let's go to see Qin Pei and put pressure on him to attack the city."
The three of them hit it off and went to find Qin Pei.
The general met Qin Pei and the army paid a visit.
Zhu Sizhi asked bluntly: "Master Qin, should we attack the city?"
Qin Pei replied: "Wait a little longer, the southern Sichuan army has no movement."
Zhu Sizhi said bluntly: "The Southern Sichuan Army sends troops, and it is impossible for it to arrive day and night.
Our army was working on an expedition. If we drag on this, how much money will the king need to pay? Yangzhou's finances are already tight."
Qin Pei frowned. He couldn't say that Jiangning accounted for half of the proportion.
Chen Fan said: "Master Qin, the king is looking forward to good news. We are worried that Xuanwu's army will go south and will not have time to return to reinforce the Huaihe River."
Qin Pei waved his hand and said, "Surprise the city tomorrow."
The three of them were satisfied with the ceremony and left with satisfaction, thinking that Qin Pei did not dare to offend him.
Qin Peiwang saw him off and snorted unhappily, originally planning to delay him for another half a month.
Qin Pei besieged the city for a month and used many scouts to inquire, and obtained news that Ganzhou returned to the southern Sichuan army.
Qin Pei waited patiently for the news that the Southern Sichuan Army attacked Yuanzhou in order to shake the morale of Hongzhou.
Unfortunately, there has been no news. Faced with the forced force of the three confidants of the king, Qin Pei had to agree to attack the city.
After all, the city was besieged for one month and there was no war.
Qin Pei issued a military order, and the Huainan army was like a tiger sleeping, getting up and stretching their waists and getting busy.
......
The defenders of Hongzhou City discovered the changes outside the city and hurriedly reported the danger to the full irony.
Wei Quanfan hurried to the top of the city and looked at it with a serious expression, nodding, "It's time to move for a month."
Wei Quan satirized the six generals beside him, some of whom had expressionless expressions, and some smiled bitterly at the corners of their mouths, hoping that the enemy would attack the city.
There is no way, Hongzhou City lacks salt.
In the first few days, the food became more salty. As the enemy siege did not attack, the food became lighter.
However, in order to defend the city, many group training was recruited. The salt and food consumption in the city was more than ten times more than during the peace period.
Wei Quan was sarcastic and anxious. He really took hundreds of days and was defeated without fighting. This time, the Huainan Army was so turtle-like.
......
At the west camp of the Huainan Army, Liu Wei received an order to prepare for the siege of the city and summoned his generals.
The generals gathered.
Liu Weiwei said, "After breaking the city, you are not allowed to rob the city, but you must also stop other military forces from robbing. That is to say, it is Qin Pei's military order, and those who violate it will be killed."
The generals were stunned. The first time they heard such a military order, the soldiers were willing to work hard, and most of them were plundering the spoils.
Liu Wei said: "I didn't want to say that, but my army had a premonition that I couldn't go back to Luzhou."
The generals understand.
A side general asked: "My lord, I will serve as the governor of Hongzhou in the future."
Liu Wei nodded and said, "There is a high probability that there are many people in Yangzhou who are good at fighting, so there is no need to work for our army to go to war."
The side general said: "I am willing to follow the Lord."
The other generals expressed their opinions in a verbal manner and took the order and left.
In the tent of the commander, only Liu Wei and his son Liu Chongjing. Liu Chongjing said, "My father thinks, if you catch the city in one battle?"
Liu Wei nodded and said, "The Hongzhou soldiers are useless, and it is not difficult for our elite troops to break the city."
Liu Chongjing nodded and said, "Father, my son heard about something. The military supplies transported from Jiangning were sent directly to the battalions of the Eastern Wu army."
Liu Wei was stunned and said, "You mean that the military supplies of the Eastern Wu are not assigned by the Central Army."
Liu Chongjing nodded, and Liu Wei asked, "When did it start?"
Liu Chongjing replied: "It started after Li Shenfu's death. Qin Pei was promoted to the governor of the Eastern Wu and could not change it."
Liu Wei thought for a while and said, "Qin Pei is fighting with Chu Yu."
Liu Chongjing said: "Father's meaning, Qin Pei delayed the siege and did not attack the city, deliberately consuming Jiangning, causing Jiangning to be unable to hold on to the supply cut."
Liu Wei said: "I have intentional thoughts, but Qin Pei's strategy is in line with the war."
Liu Chongjing nodded and said, "The army attacks and plans, and the quick battle and decisive attack will be very expensive."
Liu Wei said: "When you talk about Chu Yu, telling your father about it, Li Jian's rebellious advance to Chizhou was out of Chu Yu's plan."
Liu Chongjing was stunned and asked, "What do you say?"
Liu Wei said: "I have been interrogated by my father. A general in Xuanzhou captured by Chizhou said that Li Jian led 500 soldiers to the west, and then sent back the army to send troops to Chizhou."
Liu Chongjing looked solemn and said, "Chu Yu ambushed Li Jian, and falsely sent troops to advance to Chizhou. Xuanzhou troops occupied Chizhou. Chu Yu sent troops to quell the rebellion with justification."
Liu Wei nodded.
Liu Chongjing said again: "How did Chu Yu know that Li Jian left Xuanzhou? Why did Li Jian leave Xuanzhou to go west?"
Liu Wei said: "Li Jian was caught in a fishing plan. At that time, the Raozhou Commander had been to Li Jian's military camp. Recently, our scouts returned to the Wuning Army in Xinzhou and conquered 4,000 troops in Raozhou."
Liu Chongjing said: "Chu Yu colluded with the governor of Raozhou."
Liu Wei said: "Li Jian and Tai Meng are greedy and cruel, and they only have strong troops in their eyes. Xuanzhou was in constant wars and insisted on supporting 20,000 troops, and they left the old path of Tian Pang."
Liu Chongjing nodded clearly. Li Jian lacked the resources to support the army, and the governor of Raozhou gave the bait and seduced him.
Li Jian couldn't resist the temptation and left Xuanzhou credibly.
Liu Chongjing said: "Chu Yu is so sinister. Should we mention Yangzhou?"
Liu Weireng said: "Is that prodigal son worth mentioning? It would be considered as bad intentions. Xu Wen and Zhang Hao, are you close to us?"
Liu Chongjing was unwilling to say: "Let's sit back and watch Chu Yu succeed?"
Liu Wei said: "Chu Yu has succeeded, so what can we do if we expose it? All we can do is to make up for the loss, guard against Chu Yu, and give Lu Fang some advice."
Liu Chongjing nodded and said, "My son would like to mention Lu Fang."
Liu Wei said: "Chu Yu occupied Jiangning and colluded with Changzhou, and Raozhou may also be colluded. If Hongzhou falls, Xinzhou will also fall into Chu Yu's hands, so Chizhou cannot fall into Chu Yu's control."
Liu Chongjing said: "The problem is that Lu Fang did not succeed to the governor of Chizhou, and the tycoon was most likely to be the confidant."
Liu Wei said: "Let me mention Lu Fang first, and then talk about it later."
......
Boom boom boom! The war drums resounded outside Hongzhou City, and many shirtless men whipped the drumsticks.
Drink! Drink! Drink! Win! Win! Win! Win...
The Huainan army raised weapons, and tens of thousands of soldiers shouted, and the sounds surged into the sky, which detonated the high morale of the army.
Kill! Kill! Kill!...
The Huainan army began to attack the city, with arrows flying over the sky and sprinkling the city heads. Hundreds of catapults threw out stones and bombarded them in an endless stream.
The Huainan Army besieged the city in January and built many catapults, plus the original launches that were originally brought.
Bang bang bang! The stone hit the city without a correct head.
The defenders on the top of the city ran away with their heads in their arms, screaming harshly.
The generals of the Hongzhou army scolded loudly, stood behind, waved their long swords to threaten, and even chopped and killed them to shock the morale of the army, forcing soldiers to return to the female wall to defend against the enemy.
The Huainan army followed with a ladder, and there were more than a dozen towering siege chariots, creakingly advancing towards the city.
On the top of each cart, more than a dozen armored archers shot arrows towards the city.
The archers on the city wall, some of which are counterattacking archers, are still rockets.
The Huainan army set up a ladder, and the fearless ants attacked the city.
The Hongzhou army on the top of the city was busy using various defensive equipment, and many soldiers collided with each other, which seemed to be inconsistent.
The loud scolding of Hongzhou generals caused many soldiers to be at a loss.
Wei Quanshen, the lord of Hongzhou, hid in the city gate, listening to the sound of shouting, bombarding, screaming, chaotic shouting, and nervous heart restlessness.
Wei Quan was sarcastic and frightened. When things came to an end, he realized the chaos and disorder of the defenders.
In the past, when he inspected the city, he saw a line of heroes and a lot of morale.
To be continued...
