338. The life of waste Xing
In July, Huangshi is hot and humid, and the heat makes people drowsy. This small town in the southeast corner of Yizhou is far from the bustling metropolis. It has always been calm and dull, and there is nothing new all year round. Those big figures in the court never glance here.
It seemed particularly stuffy today, and the pedestrians who were passing by were wilted by the sun, and they all looked dejected. The soldiers at the city gate inserted their halberds to the ground and took a nap.
The war in the north had no effect on the place. People were still as usual, with the city gates open, some people entering the city and some people leaving the city, everything seemed no different from usual.
A group of people appeared on the horizon, to be precise, a team of cavalry, and came very quickly. The dozing soldier wiped the saliva from his mouth with one hand, looked up and muttered, "Where did the official magistrate come from this hot day?"
As the cavalry got closer, the soldiers woke up a little, stretched their necks and looked into the distance, and said, "This clothes are not right! They don't look like officials."
A man next to him smiled and said, "Can it be that the Han army is here?"
"Fuck! The Han army is thousands of miles away. If they can get here, the entire Yizhou will be over."
While these people were chatting, the cavalry had arrived in front of the city gate. A soldier wanted to go forward to ask questions. Suddenly, he saw the leading cavalry shooting a flag. The big word "Han" on it was particularly dazzling. The soldiers' tone changed and they shouted: "Han, it's the Han army, hurry up..."
Before he finished speaking, he was already slapped with a knife and the dead body fell to the ground. When the soldiers next to him saw it, they scattered and allowed the Han army to enter the city.
The Han army quickly passed through the city, occupied all the city gates and checkpoints, blocked the news, and occupied the city. Such a small city had no resistance in front of the Han army and could only surrender. Huangshi changed the sky in one day.
Sun Yi, the general of Dinglong in the Han Dynasty, entered the city to rest for a day, left a small number of troops to recover, and led his army to continue to go north along the river. Wherever he passed, his momentum was as strong as the enemy was invincible and dispersed one after another, and no one could stop him.
The elite soldiers of the entire Yizhou were concentrated in the north, and the southern part of Yizhou was peaceful. No one would have thought that the Han army would appear here.
Sun Yi captured Wuyang, an important town south of Chengdu with almost no bloodshed, and then sent elite cavalry to go north quickly and marched into Guangdu. Here he encountered the first decent resistance since he headed south. The Chengjia Army, who had been hasty, did not last long, but was defeated by the subsequent Sun Yi army.
At this time, Sun Yi's troops had reached the gate of Chengdu, only a few dozen miles away from Chengdu.
When the war report reached Chengjia Palace, Gongsun Shu was guarding a cabinet of ice to enjoy the cool air. A palace maid was holding a fan to fan the wind to relieve the heat.
When Gongsun Shu heard the news that the Han army had arrived in Guangdu, he was so shocked that he stood up suddenly from the couch. He got a little anxious, and he was dizzy and almost fell down.
Gongsun Shu quickly held the cane, stood firm, and then angrily hit the ground with a stick, shouting: "Did the Han army fall from the sky? What kind of god is it?"
He said he couldn't understand anything. The Han army had been on the north and east sides, outside the heavy defense circle, why did it suddenly appear from the south and suddenly reach his nose?
Gongsun Shu urgently dispatched his troops to the south to resist the Han army. Sun Yi's army's attack was extremely sharp. In a hasty situation, Cheng's army was in a low morale and could not resist it at all. He returned in a defeat.
Gongsun Shu immediately closed the city of Chengdu, ordered Gongsun Hui's army to retreat, and ordered all counties and counties across the country to enter a state of emergency, and all went to Chengdu to "respond to the king".
Gongsun Hui and Ma Yuan were in a stalemate for several months. Suddenly, they learned that Chengdu was attacked by the Han army, so they had to urgently dispatch troops to the rescue. As soon as the army and horses had a strange movement, Ma Yuan immediately realized that it was likely that Sun Yi's army had detoured and immediately led his troops to advance directly, launching a fierce attack on the defense line of the army.
The Cheng Family Army had a loose defense line. Under the fierce attack of the Han army, it showed flaws and was defeated. Gongsun Hui lost tens of thousands of troops, retreated step by step, and retreated to Chengdu City.
Ma Yuan's army advanced rapidly, and the army was in the city of Chengdu. Sun Yi advanced from the south and fought several times with the enemy, forcing the Cheng family army to retreat one after another. The Masun army gradually joined forces and surrounded the Chengdu city. At this point, the battle of attacking Shu had been fiercely fought for more than half a year, and the dawn was gradually revealed.
The Han army took advantage of the victory to attack the city, and Gongsun Shu defended the city to the death. Chengdu city was strong and the Han army could not capture it.
Ma Yuan did not want too many casualties from the soldiers, so he ordered the attack to stop and discussed with Sun Yi and Zhuge Zhi the plan to break the city.
Zhuge Zhi said: "I wish to recruit death-death men and as the vanguard of the army, and swear to ascend to the top of Chengdu."
Ma Yuan sighed, "If you attack the city again, there will be many casualties and soldiers who go on a thousand miles away and cannot return home. The scholars and people in Chengdu will be ravaged. What is the reason for the people of Chengdu? They will be buried with Gongsun?"
Sun Yi said: "Does the general want to persuade Gongsun to surrender?"
Ma Yuan said: "If Gongsun Shu is willing to surrender, with His Majesty's magnanimity, he will be able to protect his peace and wealth. I would like to write a letter to persuade him to surrender and guarantee him with my wealth, life and life."
Sun Yi and Zhuge Zhi both said: "The last general is willing to follow the general to protect him."
Ma Yuan immediately wrote a handwritten letter and sent it to the city.
Gongsun Shu's younger brother, Grand Sima Gongsun Guang, hurriedly walked into the palace and shouted: "Emperor Brother, Ma Yuan has come to the messenger and wants to see the emperor brother."
Gongsun Shu's face darkened and said, "Why are you so panicked, you don't talk about etiquette at all, and do you still understand the rules?"
Gongsun Guang hurriedly sorted out his clothes and bowed to his brother according to etiquette, saying, "Your Majesty, General Ma Yuan, the Han Fubo, sent an envoy here. I have a letter, please ask my brother to check it out."
Gongsun Shu opened the silk book, glanced a few times, snorted, and said, "When Ma Wenyuan came to Chengdu, I was kind to him and gave him a marquis. How kind of treatment he treated him! He was ungrateful and insisted on joining the command of the Cattle Herding Emperor, willing to drive him. Now that I have forced me to surrender to him, it is simply too deceptive!"
Gongsun Guang looked at his face and said carefully: "Your Majesty, tens of thousands of Han troops have surrounded Chengdu City. The people in the city are frightened, there is no news outside the city, and the soldiers are not willing to fight. This battle is difficult to fight!"
Gongsun Shu's face was gloomy and handed the silk book to his confidants. Too often, he was with Guangluxun Zhang Long, "Look at it, what should be done about this?"
Young Master Chang said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Jianshi has occupied half of the Han Dynasty. It is not a place in Yizhou that can compete with him. I hope your Majesty will think of him."
Zhang Long said: "Wang Mang was in chaos in the country, and all the people in the world thought of Han morality. Emperor Jianshi pacified Guanzhong and treated Emperor Gengshi and his former ministers well. It can be seen that he was tolerant. Your Majesty used his own strength to stabilize Shu and make contributions to the country. If you surrender to Yizhou and Emperor Jianshi would be grateful to Your Majesty for his virtue, you would definitely be able to be kind to him."
