MTL - Wei and Jin Cooks-Chapter 798 captured
Chapter 798 Captured
Zhao Hanzhang led an army of 20,000 straight to Shangdang, went down to the two cities of Gaodu and Xuanshi, and finally joined Mize Yuanli in Zhangzi County, and then divided his troops to attack the cities of Shangdang County and Wei County. The posture of taking down Shangdang County and Wei County;
At the same time, Zu Ti also received a letter from Zhao Hanzhang. He divided his troops into two parts from Jizhou, one part went west, and the other part went south to encroach on the territory of Shile and the Huns.
When Shi Le received the letter, both Zhao Hanzhang and Zu Ti had taken half of his territory, but the Jin State hadn't been able to please him. He occupied one-third of Yanzhou's territory, which was much larger than Shangdang County, but the geographical location Not worth mentioning.
Shangdang is extremely important, of course Shi Le was not willing to discard it, and neither were his advisers, and they all persuaded him to return to aid Shangdang.
Zhang Bin had a different opinion, and said to Shi Le: "It's too late for the general to go back now, and if he goes back at this time, not only will it be difficult for Shangdang to take it back, but the captured cities like Puyang, Linqiu and Baima will also be lost. "
Shi Le trusted Zhang Bin very much, and quickly said, "Please, sir, save me!"
Zhang Bin said: "Having come to this point, the general might as well make mistakes."
He said: "Occupy Yanzhou, capture Emperor Jin, kill Gou Xi, and then exchange the heads of Emperor Jin and Gou Xi back to Shangdang."
Zhang Bindao: "Zhao Hanzhang has such a good reputation. If she succeeds here, she will also lose here. The Emperor Jin is in our hands, and she dare not refuse."
Shi Le himself is a bandit and a rascal, never thinks well of people, and asked directly: "What if she doesn't follow?"
Zhang Bin paused and said: "If she is not threatened, then we will occupy Yanzhou and attack Yuzhou from Yanzhou. Why not change places with her?"
Shi Le thinks what he said is reasonable, although Shangdang's terrain and location are more favorable to them, but...Yuzhou is also good, this is the Central Plains.
Shi Le immediately endured the pain in his heart, and recruited his confidantes: "Send a letter to the governor, asking how long he will continue to lure the enemy, Zhao Hanzhang is about to cut off our retreat."
Shi Le urged: "Let him counterattack immediately, just say that we will help him with all our strength!"
"yes!"
There are wars everywhere, and the communication of information is not smooth. A letter may need a dozen postmen to pay the price of their lives, and some letters will disappear quietly. With the postmen, no one knows them except them Where did He Xin disappear.
The army can only consider the post soldiers as dead after a period of time without receiving feedback.
Since Zhao Hanzhang arrived in Shangdang, it has been very difficult to exchange information. Except for the safe passage from Yuzhou to here, there has been no news of letters from other places.
But from the letter from Yuzhou, we know that the battles in Yanzhou and Sizhou are very fierce. Fu Tinghan and Zhao Erlang have captured several counties around Pingyang City, and there is a tendency to go north. Now Pingyang City is almost isolated.
Bei Gongchun held back Liu Yuan and Shi Lefen's troops to attack Luoyang with his own strength. As long as they wanted to retreat and return to Pingyang City, Bei Gongchun would bite them hard.
This is also one of the reasons why Fu Tinghan and Zhao Erlang were able to recover other cities in Pingyang County so smoothly.
The second is that Fu Zhi sent troops from Chang'an, surrounded the west gate of Pingyang City, and attacked with Zhao's army at the south gate every now and then, leaving the army in Pingyang City with no time to take care of the outside city.
Yanzhou was also going well. I heard that Gou Xi won several battles and took back several cities that Liu Cong had occupied. However, Shi Le also went to attack Yanzhou, leaving half of his men to storm Yuzhou.
Xun Xiu and Mi Ce's lieutenants are not very good at other abilities, but they can still defend the city, especially with Yuzhou as their back, which is rich in resources. Fu Tinghan gave them a lot of catapults and bed crossbows made in the past two years. Even the strong attack failed to take Meng County and Ningling.
Zhao Hanzhang was determined to take advantage of the fire to take down Shangdang, and divided up with Mi Ce and others to attack it. After a while, he took down a city and was extremely happy.
It is also because of this that the letter sent by Yuzhou was sent to Zhao Hanzhang after passing through two places.
Zhao Hanzhang had just conquered Tunliu County, and was standing on the city tower watching the soldiers martial law the streets. Her subordinates went down to appease the people.
Today’s Shangdang is dominated by Hu people, especially in Tunliu County, where there are more Hu people than Han people, so this city was more difficult to fight, and it took 12 days to besiege the city before it was defeated.
At this time, many people had hatred for her in their eyes, and Zhao Hanzhang didn't mind. They were Jiehu, Xiongnu, and Xianbei. When Shi Le was in power, they had a higher status and could avoid being treated as slaves by Han soldiers. Same trafficked and driven, so it's normal for them to hate her.
However, she didn't want to please and obey them.
Since Tunliu County has been brought down by her, then follow her rules.
Using heavy codes in troubled times, Zhao Hanzhang changed the Huairou policy in Sizhou, Yuzhou, and strictly managed Jijun, Weijun and Shangdangjun.
A Jiehu youth waited for a soldier to approach and suddenly took out a dagger and was about to stab him. Yuan Li who was standing beside him found out just in time and kicked him over.
He was furious, and without giving the other party a chance to speak, he directly cut off the man's head with a knife, and the blood gushed out. Fan Ying, who was standing beside Zhao Hanzhang, was startled, turned her head slightly, and said in displeasure: "Master, do you want to warn him?"
"No need," Zhao Hanzhang said coldly: "The other party used a knife on our soldiers, they should be killed."
Fan Ying bowed her head and answered "Yes", and saw a messenger who was in a state of distress running up to the tower led by a personal guard, and stepped forward to catch it.
After asking a few words, she immediately led someone forward, "Master, it's a letter from Yuzhou."
Zhao Hanzhang withdrew his gaze, glanced at the messenger, took the letter he sent, and opened it while asking: "Why, the road from Yuzhou to here is not easy? Why are you so embarrassed?"
The courier hadn't even breathed yet, and when he knelt down, he almost lay down on the ground, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, something happened in Yanzhou, it's urgent for eight hundred miles."
When Zhao Hanzhang heard this, he couldn't wait to tear the fire seal slowly, so he tore open the envelope directly, and expedited 800 miles. Even when Liu Cong attacked Yanzhou, the imperial court only spent 600 miles rushing to ask for help from all over the country.
Zhao Hanzhang unfolded the letter, glanced at ten lines at a glance, and was speechless for a long time.
Fan Ying saw that her face turned livid, and asked worriedly, "Your envoy?"
Zhao Hanzhang clenched the letter in his hand, gritted his teeth, and said, "Go and invite Mr. Ming to come to the account to discuss matters, as well as Mi Ce, Yuan Li, Zeng Yue, and Li Tianhe, please come here."
"Yes." Fan Ying hurriedly went to order.
Zhao Hanzhang recruited a soldier and said: "Help him down to have a good rest, let the military doctor show him."
"yes!"
Zhao Hanzhang took the letter into the main tent, and when she saw Mingyu waiting there, she passed the letter directly, "Your Majesty has been captured."
Ming Yu's eyes widened, and he quickly took the letter to read.
I went out today to celebrate a friend’s birthday, so there is only one chapter, and I will add it tomorrow
