Chapter 1213 1214 [There will be times when the wind and waves break] (10)

Sizhou, Chalingfu.

The people all over the city were panic-stricken because there were no soldiers from the Liang Army in the city, and the streets were filled with soldiers from the Zhou Army wearing black armor.

The reason why the Zhou army was able to capture Chalingfu City so smoothly was that the Xian family's descendants had started to operate this place many years ago, and there were a lot of secrets of the Zhou Dynasty hidden in the city. The five thousand soldiers of the Boning Guards of the Changping Camp who defended the city felt that they were defeated.

It was very aggrieved, but he was using all possible means on the battlefield. After a whole day of brutal street fighting, the general was forced to evacuate with more than a thousand people.

In the government office, a group of sharp soldiers from the Zhou army, armed with sharp swords, surrounded five or six men in the court.

The man in the middle is in his forties, with a white face, short beard, and a slender face. He is Yang Sichang, Yin of Chaling Prefecture in Sizhou, Daliang.

Facing the ferocious Zhou army, Yang Sichang showed no fear on his face, his eyes were calm and somewhat angry.

Another group of people walked into the atrium. First there was a young general with a strong posture and a spear in his hand. Behind him was an old man with white hair and beard. He was Xian Chunqiu, the Marquis of Jubei in the Southern Zhou Dynasty and the Prime Minister's Minister of Military Affairs.

"Yang Fuyin, as long as you are willing to surrender to the Great Zhou Dynasty, I will keep you safe all your life, and you will be a high-ranking official and well-paid."

Yang Sichang smiled coldly, gritted his teeth and said: "Kill if you want, no need to talk nonsense!"

The young military general scolded: "Yang Sichang, my father kindly gave you a way to survive, so don't be ignorant of what is good and what is good!"

When Yang Sichang heard this, he looked at the old man and said, "Are you Xian Chunqiu?"

Xian Chunqiu nodded and said, "That's me."

Yang Sichang showed a cold and stern look on his face and said resolutely: "Yang is the governor of Chaling in Daliang. How could he associate with someone like you who betrays his master and treason, slaughters people, and is a wolf-hearted person!"

Xian Chunqiu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Yang Sichang said no more and turned to face the north.

Xian Chunqiu sneered, waved his hand and said: "Drag the owl's head down."

Two soldiers stepped forward to hold up Yang Sichang's arms, and then quickly returned with a human head. Xian Chunqiu then looked at the other people and said leisurely: "You also want to die?"

The smell of blood filled the surroundings, and several of the government officials were trembling. In addition, there were a group of ferocious-looking tiger and wolf soldiers around them, and some of them finally couldn't help but beg for mercy.

Xian Chunqiu did not embarrass these people, but asked them to immediately go out to appease the people in the city under the supervision of Zhou army officers.

He walked calmly into the main hall of the government office, took a look at the simple furnishings in the house, and suddenly sighed: "Find someone to sew Yang Sichang's head and body together, and then find a place with beautiful scenery outside the city to bury it.

Erect a monument."

Xian Xiaoshi was slightly startled, then responded: "Yes, father."

Xian Chunqiu did not explain, but changed the topic and asked: "How is the battle situation between Cenning Mansion and Pingwu Mansion?"

Xian Xiaoshi replied: "I received a military report from my eldest brother and General Qi in the morning. The Beiliang defenders in these two places are extremely tough. It will take at least three days to capture them."

Xian Chunqiu muttered: "By occupying Chaling Mansion, we have achieved our army's initial goal. This place controls the only way to Dingzhou in the east. The Beiliang reinforcements should have set off now and will arrive in four or five days at most.

.You remember, the focus of the Sizhou battlefield is not to capture the city, but to turn it into a quagmire to attract the main force of the Beiliang frontier army as much as possible."

Xian Xiaoshi took a deep breath and said solemnly: "My son understands."

The battle to defeat Liang was deeply planned. Sizhou, the battle situation on the western front, was originally just a decoy. However, Xiao Jin, the right military aircraft of the Northern Liang Dynasty, was too conservative and did not believe that the Zhou army would launch an offensive from the upper reaches of the Tiancang River. Xian Chunqiu was discussing with Fang Xiexiao

After that, they took advantage of the situation and launched an attack in advance, and now they have achieved considerable results.

Once the 60,000-strong army moved northward, it took only four days to occupy an area south of Sizhou with Chalingfu City as its core. Xian Chunqiu's eldest son Xian Henghan and general Qi Wei each led 10,000 elite troops, and their troops were directed towards Cenningfu and Heping in the northern Liang Dynasty.

The Wufu and Zhou army made extremely rapid progress, naturally because the Xian family had avoided Dingzhou, which was the most heavily defended, for more than ten years, focused most of their energy on Sizhou, and deployed countless spies to work carefully.

Such a fierce offensive will naturally force Xiao Jin to make a choice, either to mobilize the main force of the border army to rush to Sizhou, or to sit back and watch the Zhou army gradually expand its results. If he chooses the latter, Xian Chunqiu can turn from virtual to real and mobilize reserve forces.

Go straight north to threaten Qinzhou.

If Xiao Jin chooses the former, more intense fighting will break out in the lower reaches of the Tiancang River.

This line of defense stretched for thousands of miles from west to east, and it was difficult for Liang Jun to travel back and forth to take care of both ends.

While the father and son were discussing, a general walked into the main hall quickly, bowed and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, our military sentry sent a secret report from flying pigeons. Xiao Jin, the right military aircraft of Beiliang, sent reinforcements to Sizhou the day before yesterday.

, but there are only more than 10,000 people, who are the Jiading Guards of Qinian Camp."

Xian Chunqiu said calmly: "I understand."

After the general retired, Xian Xiaoshi couldn't help but frown and said, "Father, what is Xiao Jin's plan?"

Xian Chunqiu said calmly: "He believes that our army's main attack direction will be the lower reaches of the Tiancang River."

If Xian Xiaoshi had some realization, he slowly said: "So that's it. Maybe he has already mobilized his troops to go to the Eastern Front battlefield at this moment."

Xian Chunqiu stood up and patted his shoulder gently, saying gently: "Remember what my father just said, the harder you fight in Sizhou, the greater the pressure will be on Xiao Jin, and he will inevitably make some wrong decisions.

.Although this man is a loyal dog of the Liu family, he can only defend, but has no ability to change. The young emperor of Beiliang sent him to command the southern border army. It was a wrong decision. This is why our army can

One of the reasons for winning.”

Xian Xiaoshi had a smile on his face. He believed his father's judgment on the big shots in Liang's military. He also knew that his father had only been worried about Gu Liang and Pei Yue's son-in-law.

Although Xiao Jin was good at training troops to defend the city, Xian Chunqiu obviously did not take him seriously.

After thinking about these issues clearly, Xian Xiaoshi asked tentatively: "Is father going south?"

Xian Chunqiu said leisurely: "As a father, I still have some things to explain to the commander of Wufeng Navy before returning to the southern border."

Xian Xiaoshi said respectfully: "Father, this trip will be smooth sailing."

Xian Chunqiu smiled, walked out of the main hall calmly, and then left the city to the south surrounded by thousands of elite cavalry.

…

Southern Zhou Dynasty, Jian'an City.

In the front hall of the first assistant's residence, Xu Huiyan was having a meal.

The wealthy and powerful in the Southern Zhou Dynasty were extravagant and often compared themselves with each other. However, Xu Huiyan never talked about ostentation. As the head of the Xu family in Qinghe, he could certainly spend as much as he wanted, and no one dared to comment on it, but he remained the same for decades.

I stick to my heart every day, and my daily expenses are quite simple.

Xu Huiyan chewed his food carefully while thinking about the recent situation between the DPRK and China.

After nearly two months of agitation, with the help of hundreds of thousands of troops from Western Wu to invade the western border of Liang State, the war faction in the court gradually took control of the situation, and the peace faction was suppressed to the point of being unable to speak. After all, no one expected that the Wu Kingdom

Being so decisive, this is a once-in-a-century opportunity. If we don't take advantage of the situation to coerce Beiliang to seek some benefits, the princes in the court can't imagine how the public will talk about it.

In particular, the Confucian scholars who participated in the Donglin Literary Society preached non-stop throughout Jian'an City, exaggerating an atmosphere of seeking war. Of course, the secret instigation of the Xu family of Qinghe, the Fang family of Pingjiang, and the Xian family was indispensable.

Under this background, Xian Chunqiu commanded the Ningguo camp to cross the river and attack Liangguo Sizhou, which won endless praise from both the government and the public.

At this time, if the news about the upcoming marriage of the Qinghe Xu family and the Pingjiang Fang family is released, I think it can have the effect of uniting people's hearts.

Xu Huiyan suddenly sighed softly.

He had read the last letter Xu Churong wanted to send to Pei Yue. There was no mysterious meaning in it. As she said, it was just a farewell. Even so, Xu Huiyan still had people rewrite it according to the general idea, and then sent someone to Chengjing, Beiliang.

.

"Master! Master!"

The housekeeper of the front house ran in with a look of panic on his face.

Xu Huiyan said slightly displeased: "What's the matter?"

"The lady has been kidnapped!"

"Clang——"

The porcelain bowl held by Xu Huiyan's right hand fell to the ground.
