Chapter 343

Although there are only two or three hundred miles from Suizhou to Wuchang, and there are no risks to guard on the way, due to the unique geographical environment, if Xiangyang has not been captured since ancient times, the army will rashly go south from Suizhou and must break halberds into sand.

This is the conclusion drawn by countless blood. Both the Mongols and the Japanese invaders proved this.

Because the east of Suizhou is Dabie Mountain, and the west is separated from Xiangyang by fluctuating mountains, which forms a valley hundreds of miles long, with the entrance in Zaoyang and the exit in Suizhou.

When Xiangyang is not broken, once the army enters, it will be in a dilemma that the rear road may have been cut off before it reaches Suizhou.

Because the army in Xiangyang can take a boat from the tributary of the Han River to Zaoyang City in only one day.

The terrain around Zaoyang is open, which is typically easy to attack and difficult to defend. Therefore, this is the reason why successive dynasties hoarded heavy troops in Xiangyang.

It can be said that this is a natural trap. It seems that taking Wuchang is a shortcut, but in fact it is a dead end.

Strange to say, from the perspective of geographical location, Zaoyang should have been under the jurisdiction of Suizhou, but it has been assigned to Xiangyang in the West since ancient times.

Suizhou, as an insignificant city, not only has a higher wall than the general city, but also has far more soldiers and horses to defend than the general city and state city.

At this time, the army gathered under Suizhou city.

Qin tie arrived with two towns and 30000 Tianxiong troops almost at the same time.

Thirty thousand border troops were stationed in the city, of which twenty thousand were stationed in the city and ten thousand outside the south city.

Thirty thousand Tianxiong troops did not enter the city. They also set up a camp in the south, while the Chinese army set up a camp in the north.

"Damn it, the reinforcements are coming so fast!"

On a hillside, Qin tie was no longer happy and excited when he came, but his face was dignified and his eyebrows were frowned.

Although the first town and the second town are both elite, there are only 30000 soldiers to fight. After the arrival of the other party's reinforcements, they are twice as many as them. The key is that half of them are in the city and half outside the city.

In this case, even if Qin tie is arrogant, he knows that he alone can't capture Suizhou.

"Brother tie, what should I do?"

"What else can we do? Naturally, we should defeat the armies outside the earth and attack the city in the besieged city."

Several young captains began to discuss.

"If you want to defeat the army in the South first, you must bypass Suizhou City, but do you see that it is only ten or twenty miles wide whether going east or west. Moreover, there is a city gate in the southeast, northwest and east of Suizhou city. There are urn cities in the west, North and East. It's too dangerous to go to the south to fight."

Qin tie shook his head. The camp of the other party's reinforcements is ten miles away from Suizhou city.

"Then surround the northeast and west sides and block the gate!" Another captain gritted his teeth.

"The three sides of the northeast and the West are really blocked, but the South can't be blocked!"

Qin tie sighed again, and the others were silent. I'm afraid it's a little tricky this time.

Now the situation is that the siege can only be attacked from the north, the siege can not be killed, and there is no way to fight in the field.

"Brother tie, I'd better ask the king for help. This situation is not that 30000 people and horses can fight. In my opinion, at least 100000 troops!"

"Try it first! If you can't, you can only ask for help. "

Qin tie hesitated and waved his hand. He decided to attack Beicheng first tomorrow. After all, he had to increase troops before even fighting. He was really incompetent.

To Qin tie's surprise, as soon as he returned to the camp, the herald sent by Qin Huan arrived. Let them stand still for the time being, as long as they contain each other.

Qin tie and the school captains were relieved and disappointed at the same time.

The order given by Lu Xiangsheng, the 30000 Tianxiong army and the 30000 border army, also stood still temporarily to contain the other party, so the two sides had a very tacit confrontation.

On the contrary, the red warbler received very different orders.

"Madam, what did the King say?" Seeing that she didn't look right, Li Yan asked quickly.

"See for yourself!" The red warbler handed him the order in a low tone. She knew that Xiaoyu was really angry with her this time.

"The king asked us to let Luo Rucai live their way. How... How is this possible?" Li Yan shook his hands and looked shocked.

In his opinion, Qin Huan, for the sake of his fellow rebels, even if he wanted to make a good name, it would be ridiculous to take Luo Rucai and others under his command and let them live.

After all, this release will surely become a stumbling block to the unification of the Qin state.

The red warbler waved his hand and said, "Mr. Li, please go to the city and tell Luo Rucai that each big leader can take 300 people away from runing house. In addition to wives and concubines with children, the rest of the family must stay, and the grain can only take two thousand stones."

"Madam, if Luo Rucai doesn't get rid of today, he will certainly become a big trouble in the future in the state of Qin. Moreover, once they are released, they will die wherever they go!"

"Sir, you don't have to say any more. Up to now, it's the only way. If you don't want to go to the city, I'll choose another person." The red warbler smiled bitterly.

"Madam, why don't I go back to Xiangyang immediately and explain the interests to the king? If the king still refuses to take back his order, it's not too late to enter the city for negotiation..."

Li Yan hesitated and said, obviously still not giving up.

"Ah! Sir, I know the king's temper better than you. If you go back and estimate the Minister of your staff, you will come to an end. "

In fact, Hongying wanted to tell him that he, a middle general, had done his best, because in addition to the military order, Xiaoyu wrote her a private letter.

Knowing that she can't read, all the pictures on it are pictures of her, so they don't dare to go back. Where are you willing to delay any more.

Seeing that she had said so, Li Yan knew that the matter was irreparable. He was a simple man, so he discussed the details and went to the city.

In the hall of the government office, they may also have the idea of living day by day. Luo Rucai and others began to live a happy life again.

Hearing that the Chinese army had sent messengers, everyone was overjoyed. They quickly pushed away the woman in their arms and asked someone to bring the messengers in.

Obviously, Luo Rucai and other leaders know that if the Chinese Army really wants to kill them all and continue the siege, there will be a late chaos in the city, and they will die.

So as long as the Chinese troops surrender, they will surrender without hesitation. But when Li Yan explained his intention, they all thought they had heard wrong.

"Mr. Li, that's true. Brother Qin... Oh, no, Hua Wang is really willing to let me wait?"

"Yes, my king has always been benevolent and righteous. Because we all belong to the rebel army and fought side by side at the beginning, we are open."

Li Yan nodded and said with an expressionless face. Obviously, he didn't have a good impression of these anti thief leaders who have harmed Henan.

"Hua Wang Renyi!"

"Brother Qin is really a hero in the world. I'm ashamed of Lao Luo. Please tell your king for me. Lao Luo wrote down this feeling."

The old thieves were almost moved to tears. Luo Rucai squeezed out two tears and came to the hall and said to Li Yan.

"Well, please ask the king of Wei to open the gate first and carry out the handover ceremony!" Li Yan nodded and said faintly.

"Good!"

Luo Rucai didn't hesitate. He immediately conveyed the order and ordered people to open the gate at the same time.

Qin Huan was not afraid to pit them. After all, they were desperate. Qin Huan didn't have to lose his reputation and do such a dishonest thing.

After being a king for several days, he finally realized the importance of reputation. If he had a good reputation, he would not fall into this field today.
