The wind went cold for a while, the night that should have been silent, but it was as noisy as day.
Nanping County Mansion City, with bright torches, stones and bows and arrows are carried on the city wall in turns by the slave servants.
Someone outside the city was digging ditches overnight, hoping to rely on the bumpy ground to temporarily prevent large siege machines with wooden wheels from approaching the city walls. However, people came and went, shouting and shouting constantly, mixed with the murmur of the supervisor swinging the whip and yelling at the servant husband, and it was a mess.
The city is not getting better. The soldiers were ordered to demolish the houses and transport the wood and bricks to the vicinity of the city gate. Some of these things were used to seal the city gate and strengthen the city wall, and some were counted as rolling stone woods. When the rebels attacked aggressively, they pushed down the city wall and thwarted the rebellious spirit.
Some people were thrown out of their homes. They wept and begged for mercy, kneeling in the ruins and feeling helpless.
As a prefecture city, the people living here are actually relatively wealthy. Basically, every household has a certain foundation, and some of them have shops under their names. This makes them still a little bit hopeful when Feng Wen Tianshou is sweeping Jingzhou. . After all, King Jing and the powerful and high-ranking officials lived here. This should be the safest place in the entire Jingzhou. How could it be turned upside down in a blink of an eye?
Those who had a close relationship with the servants of high-ranking power, yelled and screamed, and were slammed on the ground by a smashing whip.
The first choice for house demolition is a few streets close to the city wall. Whether it is ordinary people or shops with “backers”, now they are all ignored and demolished.
Even if he wanted to squeeze money in and beg for a escape, he was pushed away mercilessly.
After all, the house is so big here, it’s clear at a glance. Unless it’s on the edge of the demolition area, the other houses are gone. Only your family is standing alone in the ruins. All fools know that there is a problem, so how can you deal with it? ?
Now it’s no better than usual, Shangguan will open one eye and close the other.
Once you are dragged down to deal with, the lighter will be forced into coolies, and the heavy will lose their lives, in order to restrain the others.
The inside and outside of the city were so tight that they seemed to be wound up, and when a command was issued, everyone turned like a top.
If there are not enough servants, the people will be forcibly recruited.
It doesn’t matter who paid the money to redeem it, or who has done hard labor this year, it is eager to get rid of it when you see it.
There are so many physical tasks to do in and out of the city, and the urging on it for a while, the Tianshou Wang army has already arrived in Hua County, and it’s only half a day away. Who would dare to sleep at night? The little official who was scolded by the Shangguan was bloody, and in a blink of an eye, his temper was vented to the servants and coolies.
“At the evening meeting, so many people from Hua County came to vote, and the ready-made labor didn’t have to ask us to knock from door to door in the middle of the night, what the hell!”
One small official said cursingly, and the other older one stroked his beard and sighed.
“It’s not that the above is worried about it. I am worried that the adversary will sneak into the city and no one is allowed to enter or leave the city.”
“That is, let alone the flat-headed people, even the side branch of the Dongcheng Confucian family in Huaxian, shouldn’t they be sent away?”
Those who can enter the city are all officials, but unfortunately the magistrates and lieutenants of Hua County didn’t show their faces, and only a few meager documents came.
The crime of abandoning the city is not a small one. A fool would hit the edge of the knife at this time, regardless of whether he was born in a family or had a relationship with a senior official in Jingzhou or a fellow teacher and student of the same year. At this time, he caught up. It’s for the head.
“…I want to say that if there is no place to go, these fat-headed guys will not stay in the palace.”
“Quiet, you don’t want to die?”
The little official who spoke first didn’t take it seriously, and continued to complain: “Forget it, who can care about whom now? Like we can go to Yangzhou if we take the opportunity, those high-ranking families who go to Yangzhou have to look at others. Let alone King Jing’s expression, where can he go without Jingzhou?”
“Really…I can’t go back to Jiangxia, right?”
“Jiangxia’s city wall is not as high as our mansion. Besides, General Nie has never sold the reputation of the family’s high-ranking family. He has been stationed in Jiangxia since the Chu Dynasty. Who can shake it? Right now, people don’t stand on their own as kings anymore. It’s because of King Jing’s face, how do you want to contribute?”
“Come on, the more you talk, the more you lose track.”
The little officials rubbed their faces against the cold wind, rubbed their sleepy eyes, and resigned themselves to their errands.
This night, I don’t know how many people look at Hua County, panicking in their hearts.
The adversarial force is like a broken bamboo. No one expected that they would hit Nanping County’s city so soon. Many of the powerful children in Jingzhou have not been able to react. It seems that they will be defeated as soon as they wake up, and the isolated city will be difficult to support.
At this time, someone in King Jing’s Mansion proposed a strategy.
It sounds nice and can be described as Mingxiu plank road, dark and Chencang,
A nasty thing is to abandon the defense of the city and seize Yangzhou to change a place to stay. Anyway, King Ning just died, and Ningdi is turbulent.
The dignitaries of the aristocratic family suddenly changed when they heard this. Their roots are in Jingzhou. If they easily abandon their reputation in the literary world, they will have to pretend these days, even if they don’t speak about integrity and face. Faced with such a crowd of mud-legged mobs like King Tianshou, defeat is embarrassing enough, and yet to flee without a fight?
Some people objected, and naturally others agreed, and the quarrel became a pot of porridge.
The wound that King Jing was assassinated was actually not serious. He pretended that the injury was not healed for other reasons. He originally thought it was an assassin sent by the Qi Dynasty. He just saw his sons who were uneasy and fished for those who were unpredictable. People, I never thought that the assassin was from Yizhou, and Jingzhou was defeated like a mountain. It was still rumored that he was scared by the assassin and couldn’t keep the door behind. It was like King Jing’s face was abruptly thrown to the ground. Let anyone step on it.
That’s all. Probably because King Jing himself was “unsatisfied”, all counties and counties in Jingzhou didn’t even pretend to be on their faces, and they just kept their doors behind closed doors and let the adversaries burn, kill, and looting.
If they are willing to send troops and contribute, how could King Tianshou hit Nanping County so soon?
The king of Jing was full of fire, and he wanted to chop off the guys with the corpse position vegetarian meal. But he never thought about why everyone believed this rumor.
——In addition to pretending to be too real, maybe only his impression is not so good.
Now it’s too late to say anything, King Jing faced with whether he fled without a fight and completely settled the rumors, or to defend Nanping County for the sake of face and give the group of adversaries a good look.
Of course, King Jing wanted to choose the latter. His fame is like fate. Who would like to record himself as a ghost in history books? But from the bottom of his heart he knew that this was a moment of irritation. The people of Nanping County were distracted. It might be feasible to stay for seven or eight days, but they didn’t have any reinforcements!
Yangzhou is another good place.
Just as King Jing was struggling with a dilemma, a piece of news was like a bolt from the blue sky.
“Go to the king, Qi Jun crosses the river, and has already occupied two cities.”
“What?”
Everyone is shocked, Qi Chao is here to pick up the leaks?
After experiencing the ravages of the Heavenly Consecrated King’s army, Jingzhou is just a pile of loose sand, and it is indeed a good time to break through one by one.
The king Jing was trembling with anger. It was not enough for a mad dog to bite at home, and the wolves also came in immediately.
——Jingzhou is completely finished.
Everyone quickly realized this, and couldn’t help but lean towards the back path of winning Yangzhou.
“Come on, get ready…”
Before King Jing finished his sentence, another urgent report came.
“Go to the king, Ningdi dispatched one hundred thousand troops, and marched towards Yiping, not far from Jiangxia.”
That was one of the junctions of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, and it was also an important place for entering, attacking, retreating and defending. Ningdi was also able to guard against the King of Heaven, and at the same time, it also cut off the Jingzhou army and went south to take the road to Yangzhou.
If you don’t go to Yiping, you can take a detour, but abandoning the city means that the rebellious army is chasing after him. Who dares to delay?
The king slumped in the chair.
He didn’t think that Qi Jun and Ningdi Bingma came to defeat the Heavenly Grant King. He would definitely expect Jingzhou Army to consume the strength of the Heavenly Grant King and then take the opportunity to carve up the fat of Jingzhou, and he had nowhere to go. Can sit in trouble.
What’s the way to survive?
For a while, everyone was speechless, all of them pale, and they really realized what is called embarrassment on all sides. There is no worst but worse situation.
***
“Snee!”
Liu Tan sneezed heavily, rubbed his nose and muttered, “Is this the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River going against this general?”
In just two days, he has diarrhea seven times, and nothing tastes good.
It’s not just him, the generals under him are more or less unacceptable, after all, they are all from the North.
If it weren’t for this time, the army, in addition to Liu Dan’s direct line of soldiers and horses, had also temporarily deployed the Qi Dynasty Navy, which was originally confronting the Jingzhou Army, for fear that the entire barracks would be embarrassed.
“Why didn’t those Jinyiwei get sick? Xu Qianhu and the others were in good spirits. Gong Jun also took people to Xuanchuan Pass when they got off the boat. They looked like they were rushing for hundreds of miles, and there was nothing wrong with them.” Liu Dan was right. Be puzzled.
“It’s hard to say.” General Liu’s soldier said seriously, “Even if the palace commander is really dissatisfied and falls on the way, we don’t know.”
Liu Dan glared at him and said nothing.
The soldier said nonchalantly: “Maybe they practice martial arts, what’s the panacea?”
Liu Dan thought for a while and sent his soldiers to find Xu Qianhu.
There are no miraculous medicines. There are pills that are often sold in drugstores. It’s okay to eat them on their own. It is a huge expense to provide tens of thousands of soldiers. How long Jiangnan stays, it is better to adapt directly.
Anyway, as long as you don’t drink raw water, go to the cottage a few times to change your appetite.
Xu Qianhu didn’t give General Liu any face. He sat on the floor and raised the price. The price of a pill was ten times higher.
Liu Tan was so angry that he almost wanted to grab Xu Qianhu to stage the martial arts field, but unfortunately his stomach was unsatisfactory, and he started to feel a little pain again.
“Too much deception.” Liu Dan cursed, covering his stomach and asked, “What news is there from the commander of the palace? Where did the Tianshou king hit? What is happening in Yangzhou, Jingzhou?”
Even if you have diarrhea, you have to finish the military affairs first.
Although he was a gangster general, he had long been looking forward to making contributions on the battlefield, but when the opportunity came, he realized that he was different from what he thought.
Liu Dan felt grief and anger, and squatted in the Gongfang for a while, his legs numb and moved out.
As soon as he pushed the door, he was pushed back by the soldiers guarding the door.
“It’s not good, General!”
Liu Dan was confused, enduring the unspeakable smell in the room, and asked roughly: “Did the Tianshou King attacked Nanping County, or Gong Jun discovered that the adversary had a sharp weapon capable of breaking through the city wall? Where? Can’t say, why are you here?”
The soldier said with a complex expression: “It is the palace commander who is back.”
“I’ll be back when I come back, isn’t this general shameless?”
“…I really don’t see if there is something missing.”
For some reason, Liu Dan said impatiently: “What do you want to say in a huff?”
“No, my subordinates would like to wait for the army to wait until you find the money bag to hang up for you, and then let you go out to meet with the palace commander.”
Liu Dan: “…”
