The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1575

[Chapter 1575 Head-to-head confrontation (2)]

In the early morning, all sounds were silent, and there was a ray of light on the eastern horizon.

Most of the soldiers guarding the city wall slept curled up against the wall. A small number of people, pay attention to the movement in the distance.

A soldier with a vicissitudes of life put down the long spear in his hand, took out a few soybeans from the small oil bag in his arms, and chewed it slowly in his mouth, with a satisfied expression on his face.

The soldier standing next to him had a tender face and looked at seventeen or eighteen years old: “Uncle Sang, do you know if the army will come over?” any movement. I don’t know when they called.

The man named Lao Sang chewed the beans to pieces before asking, “Do you want them to call?”

At this time, most of the soldiers were asleep, and the young soldiers had no scruples. However, the voice was still subconsciously lowered: “I heard that they not only did not kill the soldiers, but also let them go home. Uncle Sang, do you think this rumor is true?”

Lao Sang looked into the distance and asked, “How is it really?”

The young soldier lowered his head and said, “I want to go home. I have an elderly mother and a young sister at home.”

The soldier’s surname was Jiao and his name was Sanping. Just looking at this name, I also know that he is the third oldest. His first two older brothers were both drafted into the army and died on the battlefield. And those who were recruited to serve as soldiers in the village also left and never returned. So when he was forcibly drafted into the army, his mother’s eyes were about to cry. The youngest son also left, leaving only the two of them, women and children, afraid that they won’t be able to survive this winter.

Old Thorn paused, then grabbed a handful of beans and gave it to Jiao Sanping, saying, “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, and my mother and sister can’t live anymore.” When he said this, Jiao Sanping’s eyes were red.

He would ask Lao Sang because Lao Sang was a veteran. The veterans who can survive are all experienced old fritters.

Uncle Sang chewed the beans in his mouth hard, and after swallowing the beans, he said softly: “This is just a rumor, I don’t know if it’s true. However, you will follow me when the time comes. What do I do, you Just do it.”

Although Lao Sang looked in his forties, he was actually only thirty-two years old this year. He has been in the army for thirteen years, from the age of nineteen to the present. In fact, Lao Sang also hopes that this rumor is true. In this way, he can be discharged from the army and live a stable life for two days. Unlike now, living a day counts as a day.

Jiao Sanping said gratefully, “More Uncle Sang. If the rumors are true, then Uncle Sang, go to my hometown!”

Lao Sang has no family for a long time, and it doesn’t matter where he goes. Hearing this, Lao Sang smiled and said, “Let’s talk about it if you survive!” No one could be sure whether the rumors were true. However, it is also good to have an expectation. If it is like now, there is no end to the battle, and there is no hope of living.

At this moment, someone shouted: “The enemy army is coming, everyone is ready to fight.”

The Ming army not only had strong soldiers and horses, but also much stronger weapons and equipment than the defenders in Xiangzhou. It was only by relying on the tall and sturdy city walls of Xiangzhou that the Ming army was barely blocked.

At nightfall, Yan Shaoqiu came down from the city wall and found Yan Wushuang: “Your Majesty, we can only hold on until tomorrow afternoon at most. Your Majesty, please withdraw!”

Yan Wushuang was not in a hurry at all, and said blankly, “Don’t worry, they will definitely not be able to break through the city tonight.”

“emperor……”

Yan Wushuang waved his hand and said, “Needless to say, I have a good idea. Zhao Xiong, bring the wine and dishes.”

Soon, a table of good dishes was delivered. Yan Wushuang personally opened the wine jar sealed with the yellow mud, and then poured a bowl for Yan Shaoqiu.

Startled, Yan Shaoqiu quickly stood up to pick up the wine jar and said, “Your Majesty, let the minister come!”

Yan Wushuang did not stop it, and let Yan Shaoqiu pour the wine.

He drank a bowl of wine in one gulp, Yan Wushuang put down the bowl and said, “Following me all these years, all of you have been tired.” Those generals who followed Yunqing were all promoted to rank and rank, and shared the glory and wealth. And the people who followed him were killed and wounded. Few survived now.

Yan Shaoqiu hurriedly said: “What did the emperor say? It’s my old Yan’s honor to follow the emperor.” This is not a word to please, Yan Wushuang is more graceful to the person he trusts. Only people like Tie Kui who he doesn’t trust will send people to monitor him for a long time.

After saying this, Yan Shaoqiu picked up the wine and said, “Your Majesty, don’t worry, the city is alive and the city is dead.”

This is what Yan Wushuang waited for.

In the middle of the night, Yan Wushuang took 30,000 soldiers and horses and retreated to the rear.

Yan Wushuang was sent away, and Yan Shaoqiu went back to eat. After eating and drinking, he went up to the city wall to supervise the battle.

At noon on the second day, the city wall collapsed with a bang under the continuous and violent impact of the large wooden stakes.

With the gap, the defenders of Xiangzhou could block the Ming army like a tide.

As soon as the Ming army rushed in, there were loud soldiers shouting at the Yan army who were fighting against them: “Our emperor has an order, as long as you disarm and surrender, you will not be killed, and you will be entangled to let you go home.” There are more than one million troops and horses, so there is no need to recruit troops for the time being.

Some soldiers hesitated: “Is it true?”

The soldier who shouted just now spoke the dialect of Xiangzhou: “There’s so much nonsense, put down your arms if you don’t want to die.” People in the army, the softer you are, the more hesitant you will be. Strong attitude, but reassuring.

Liaodong went to war every year, and the soldiers recruited were getting younger and younger. This also led to many places where men over the age of 14 hid in the mountains as soon as they heard the wind. But sometimes it is in the middle of the night to catch the strong man, and there is no way to hide.

If you don’t surrender, you have to die. These people didn’t hesitate and put down their weapons very simply.

Yan Shaoqiu’s guard ran up the city wall and said, “General, the Ming army has already come in. General, let’s withdraw!”

“I told the emperor that I would live and die with Xiangcheng.” He didn’t say it, he really planned to do it.

However, people are not as good as heaven, and Yan Shaoqiu was finally captured and became a prisoner.

It took a day and a half to take Xiangzhou, which was completely expected by Yunqing.

Tie Kui said to Yun Qing, “Your Majesty, I want to meet Yan Shaoqiu.” Tie Kui and Yan Shaoqiu had a good relationship and wanted to persuade him to surrender. Of course, if he couldn’t be persuaded, he should be given a ride.

Yun Qing said: “It’s good to be able to persuade to surrender, but it’s not too hard to persuade to surrender.” Persuading Yan Shaoqiu to surrender was a blow to the morale of the Yan army. But it doesn’t matter if you can’t persuade them to surrender, and 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 would rather die than serve the second master.”

Tie Kui pointed to the wine and food box in his hand, and said, “I’m here to drink with you.”

When Yan Shaoqiu heard this, he sat on the ground. Although he was a prisoner, the Ming army did not mistreat him, but locked him in a room without action. In fact, if Yan Shaoqiu wanted to commit suicide, he could hit the wall. But Yan Shaoqiu didn’t do this, not because he was afraid of death, but because he thought such a way of dying was ugly.

Open the food box and take out the two plates of appetizers, dried beef and peanuts. Tie Kui smiled and said, “When I was in Liaodong, I used to have a pot of burning knives to drink.

“You are Uncle Anyang now, do you want to eat anything?” After speaking, he picked up his chopsticks and put a peanut in his mouth.

Speaking of this, Tie Kui smiled: “If I hadn’t been careful in those years, I would have become a pile of bones now.”

Yan Shaoqiu’s hand paused, and after a while, he asked, “When did you contact Han Yuxi?”

“The year I arrived in the capital.”

Yan Shaoqiu was a little surprised. He thought that Tie Kui had contacted Han Yuxi long ago: “Why? The emperor treats you well, why did he betray the emperor?”

“Yan Wushuang didn’t believe me. If you knew that I was Empress Ming’s uncle, do you think I still had a life?” With Yan Wushuang’s temperament, he would definitely use him to harm Yuxi. By then, it would really be a dilemma.

Yan Shaoqiu poured a glass of wine into his mouth and said, “For the sake of our friendship for many years, I beg you one thing.”

“You said.” He believed that Yan Shaoqiu would not mention what he couldn’t do.

“I want to be buried in Tongcheng after I die.” Yan Shaoqiu was born and raised in Tongcheng. So, he wanted to go back to his hometown.

Without any hesitation, Tie Kui agreed.

That night, Yun Qing discussed the battle plan with several generals of Feng Dajun, and finally decided to attack Shengjing in three ways. Yun Qing led 200,000 soldiers and horses, while Feng Dajun and Tie Kui each led 150,000 soldiers and horses.

Brother Rui looked at Yun Qing and said, “Dad, I want to go to the forward camp.” Only when you enter the forward camp can you make contributions faster.

Yun Qing felt that Brother Rui’s fighting experience was not enough, and the forward camp was too dangerous, so he still refused.

Brother Rui was anxious: “Father, my personal conditions are enough to enter the forward camp. Father, you often tell me that you can’t do anything special, and you are doing privileges now. If these parents are like you, I’m afraid there will be Danger doesn’t let their children play strikers, so who else can play strikers?”

Rough words, not rude.

When Si Bonian heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. This second prince is also true, how can he talk to the emperor like this.

Qi Hao was not here at this time, but went to find Tie Kui to speak.

Yun Qing asked, “Do you really want to be a pioneer?”

“Yes. Dad, don’t worry, I will never embarrass you.” I can’t read, but I have confidence in my martial arts brother Rui.

Yun Qing hummed and said, “If that’s the case, then you can go to the forward camp!” With Zaozao’s lesson, Yun Qing did not let Brother Rui follow Feng Dajun and Tie Kui, but stayed in his army. . And as Brother Rui wished, let him go to the forward camp.

Brother Rui was overjoyed: “Thank you dad.”

Qi Hao came back to know about this, and said disapprovingly, “Father, A Rui has no actual combat experience. It is too dangerous for him to go to the forward camp.”

Yun Qing also has his thoughts: “The forward camp is the best place to train people. You can’t keep him hiding behind your back because of worries. I joined the forward camp when I was fifteen years old, and I was one year younger than A Rui. !”

When Qi Hao saw this, he didn’t say any more. Because no matter how much you say, it is impossible to make Press Yunqing change his mind.
