In the early morning, everything was still, and there was a glimmer of light on the eastern horizon.
Most of the soldiers on the wall curled up against the wall and slept. A few people, pay attention to the movement in the distance.
A soldier with a face of vicissitudes put down the long gun in his hand, took out a few yellow beans from the small oil bag out of his arms and put them in his mouth to chew slowly. He was satisfied with his face.
The soldier standing next to him, with a tender face, looked like he was only 17 or 18 years old: "Uncle sang, do you mean the army will come here?" He has been guarding for such a long time, and has not seen any movement from the Ming army. I don't know when they will call.
The man named Lao sang chewed up the beans and asked, "do you want them to fight?"
At this time, most of the soldiers are asleep, and the young soldiers have no scruples. However, the voice still lowered unconsciously: "I heard that they not only didn't kill the soldiers, but also wanted to go home. Uncle sang, do you think this rumor is true
Old sang looked into the distance and asked, "how is it really?"
"I want to go home," said the young soldier, hanging his head. "I have a young mother and a young sister in my family."
The soldier's surname is Jiao and his name is Sanping. Only looking at this name, I know that he is the third. His first two brothers were conscripted and died on the battlefield. All the soldiers in the village have no return. So when he was forced into the army, his mother's eyes were almost blind. The youngest son also left, leaving only their two women and children, afraid that even this winter could not survive.
Old Thornton, then grabbed a handful of beans for Jiao Sanping, said: "eat it!"
Jiao Sanping shook his head and asked in a low voice: "Uncle sang, I just want to know if those rumors are true? Uncle sang, I don't want to die. Uncle sang, I'm going to die. My mother and sister can't live any more. " When he said this, his eyes were red.
He would ask sang because he was a veteran. All the veterans who can survive are experienced veterans.
Uncle sang chewed the beans in his mouth hard and said softly after swallowing them: "it's just a rumor. I don't know if it's true. however. You'll be right after me. You do what I do. "
Although he looks more than 40 years old, in fact, he is only 32 years old. He has been in the army for 13 years since he joined the army at the age of 19. In fact, the old mulberry also hopes that this rumor is true. In this way, he will be able to retire for two days. Unlike now, living a day counts a day.
Jiao Sanping said gratefully: "more uncle sang. If the rumor is true, then you can go to my hometown, uncle sang! "
Old sang has no family for a long time. It doesn't matter where he goes. Hearing this, old sang said with a smile, "let's live!" No one is sure whether the rumor is true. However, it is also good to have one expectation. If like now, there is no hope to live in the endless war.
At this time, some people shouted, "the enemy is coming, everyone is ready to fight."
The Ming army is not only strong in military strength, but also much better in weapons and equipment than the Xiangzhou garrison. Only relying on the high and solid walls of Xiangzhou, did it barely block the Ming army.
At night, Yan Shaoqiu came down from the wall to find Yan Wushuang: "emperor, we can only stick to it until tomorrow afternoon at most. The emperor, you leave quickly! "
Yan Wushuang was not worried at all. He said without expression, "no worry, they can't break the city tonight."
"Emperor..."
Yan Wushuang waved his hand and said, "needless to say, I have a good idea. Zhao Xiong, bring up the wine and vegetables. "
Soon, a table of good food was brought up. Yan Wushuang opens the wine jar sealed with yellow mud and pours a bowl for Yan Shaoqiu.
Startled, Yan Shaoqiu quickly stood up to take the wine jar and said, "emperor, let me come!"
Yan matchless also did not stop, by Yan Shaoqiu pour wine.
One mouthful will drink a bowl of wine dry, Yan matchless put down the bowl and said: "these years follow me, you are also affected." Those generals who followed Yunqing were all promoted to rank and enjoy the prosperity. And those who followed him died and were wounded. Now there are few who survive.
Yan Shaoqiu said hurriedly: "what's the emperor saying. It's my honor to follow the emperor. " This is not flattering words, Yan matchless to the person that oneself trusts, favor adds again. Only a person like tie Kui, who he doesn't trust, can be monitored for a long time.
After saying this, Yan Shaoqiu took up the wine and said: "emperor, you can rest assured that the city is in the city and the city is dead."
That's what Yan Wushuang said.
In the middle of the night, Yan Wushuang took 30000 soldiers and horses to retreat.
After seeing Yan Wushuang off, Yan Shaoqiu went back to eat. When he had enough to eat and drink, he went up to the wall to supervise the war.
At noon on the second day, the wall fell down with a roar under the continuous and violent impact of big wooden stakes.
With the gap, Xiangzhou's garrison will fundamentally block the Ming army like the tide.
As soon as the Ming army rushed in, the soldiers with a loud voice shouted to the Yan army who was fighting with them, "our emperor has an order, as long as you surrender, you will not kill your head, and you will be sent home." There are more than one million troops in the Ming army, so there is no need to recruit for the time being.
Some soldiers hesitated: "is it true?"
The soldier who just shouted said the dialect of Xiangzhou: "if you don't want to die, put down your weapons." The softer you are in the army, the more hesitant You are. Be tough, but be reassured.
Every year in Liaodong, the soldiers are younger and younger. This also led to many places to hear the wind, men over the age of 14 to hide in the mountains. But sometimes it's in the middle of the night to catch a strong man.
If you don't surrender, you will die. These people have no hesitation and simply laid down their weapons.
Yan Shaoqiu's bodyguard ran up the wall and said, "general, the Ming army has already come in. General, let's go! "
"I told the emperor that I would live and die with Xiangcheng." He's not saying it. He's really ready to do it.
However, it's not as good as heaven. Yan Shaoqiu is finally captured and becomes a prisoner.
Xiangzhou will be taken down in a day and a half, which is totally expected by Yunqing.
Tiekui said to Yunqing, "emperor, I want to see Yan Shaoqiu." Tie Kui has a good relationship with Yan Shaoqiu. He wants to persuade him to surrender. Of course, I can't help but give him a ride.
Yunqing said, "it's good to be able to persuade people to surrender, not to persuade or force them to surrender." Persuading Yan Shaoqiu to surrender is a blow to Yan army's morale. But it doesn't matter if you can't persuade him to surrender. It will only take a little more time to win Liaodong.
Yan Shaoqiu saw tie Kui and said, "you don't need to talk nonsense. I'd rather die than serve the two masters."
Tiekui pointed to the wine and the food box in his hand and said, "I'm here for you to drink."
Hearing this, Yan Shaoqiu sat on the ground. Although he was a prisoner, the Ming army did not maltreat him, but confined him in the room without action. In fact, if Yan wants to commit suicide, he can hit the wall. Yan Shaoqiu didn't do this, not because he was afraid of death, but because he thought it was ugly.
Open the food box and take out the two plates of dried beef and peanuts. Tiekui said with a smile, "when I was in Liaodong, I used to have a pot of burning knives to drink. They were all beautiful."
"You are Anyang Bo now. What do you want to eat?" Finish saying, picked up chopsticks to clip a peanuts to put in the mouth.
Speaking of this, tiekui smiled: "if I had not been careful in those years, I would have become a pile of white bones."
Yan Shaoqiu's hand, after half a ring, asked, "when did you contact Han Yuxi?"
"The year when I got to the capital."
Yan Shaoqiu had some accidents. He thought tie Kui had already contacted Han Yuxi: "why? The emperor treats you well. Why betray the emperor? "
"Yan Wushuang didn't believe me. If you know I'm the first uncle of the Ming empress, do you think I still have my life?" With Yan's unparalleled nature, he will surely be used to harm Yuxi. Then it's really a dilemma.
Yan Shaoqiu poured a glass of wine into his mouth and said, "for the sake of our many years of friendship, I beg you for one thing."
"You said." He believed that Yan Shaoqiu would not mention what he could not do.
"I want to be buried in Tongcheng." Yan Shaoqiu is a native Tongcheng. So, he wants to go back to his hometown.
Without hesitation, tiekui agreed.
That night, Yunqing and several generals of Fengda army discussed the next battle plan, and finally decided to attack Shengjing in three ways. Yunqing brings 200000 troops, fengdajun and tiekuize 150000 troops respectively.
Rui elder brother-in-law follows cloud Qing and says: "Dad, I want to go to Qianfeng camp." If you enter the forward camp, you can make contributions faster.
Yunqing feels that Ruige's experience in fighting is not enough, and the forward camp is too dangerous, so he refuses.
Brother Rui is in a hurry: "Dad, my personal conditions are enough to enter the forward camp. Dad, you often tell me that you can't make special. You're making privileges now. If the parents are the same as you, afraid of danger and not allowing their children to play forward, who else will play forward? "
If the words are rough, the reason is not.
When spernian heard this, he came out in cold sweat. These two princes are also true. How can they talk to the emperor like this.
Qi Hao is not here at this time, but to find tiekui to talk.
"You really want to be a pioneer?" Yun Qing asked
"Yes. Don't worry, Dad. I will never lose face with you. " Reading is not good, but I have confidence in my martial arts brother Ruier.
Yun Qing said with a voice, "in that case, go to Qianfeng camp." With the jujube lesson, Yunqing didn't let ruige'er follow fengdajun and tiekui, but stayed in his army. And as Rui elder brother's wish, let him go to the forward camp.
Brother Rui is too happy: "thank you very much, Dad."
Qihao came back to know this and said with disapproval: "Dad, a Rui has no real experience. It's too dangerous for him to go to Qianfeng camp."
Yunqing also has his consideration: "Qianfeng camp is the best place to train people. Don't let him hide behind because he is worried. I entered the forward camp when I was 15 years old. I was one year younger than Ariel! "
When Qi Hao saw this, he stopped talking about it. Because no matter how much you say, you can't change your mind.
PS: every time I write about a war, I will carve it out. Second, it will be later.
