Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 684
It has been three days since the Song army stormed Jinling City. Although Jinling City has not yet been breached, it is still in danger.

The sound of fighting above and below the city was loud, and the Song army charged desperately, attacked the city wall, and used its momentum to deter the Tang army.

At this time, Tian Qinzuo, the supervisor, rode over and found Cao Bin, who was commanding the three armies to fight, and said: "General Cao, these three days have been attacking the city day and night, and the soldiers have suffered heavy injuries. Soldiers even complained, whether to consider it, repair it, and slow down the intensity of the siege!"

Cao Bin shook his head and said: "With one effort, then decline and exhaustion, the Tang army doesn't have much fighting spirit. We will attack the enemy for a few days, just to deter the enemy and break their courage. In this way, some ministers and generals who are vacillating , they will think about surrendering, prompting a mutiny in the city, and opening the gate to throw themselves into the city!"

This was Cao Bin's idea, and he explained it to Tian Qinzuo, the supervisor, so that he would not misunderstand.

This Tian Qinzuo was a general of the Imperial Army, his father was a general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he had been serving in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Later, he joined Zhao Kuangyin's side and won his trust.

However, Tian Qinzuo has a capricious personality and is easy to complain in private. He is a typical villain, but because he is very loyal, he often reports to Zhao Kuangyin privately about monitoring the generals of the Forbidden Army, so that the officials can grasp the thoughts and status of the generals of the Forbidden Army. However, Zhao Kuangyin valued him very much.

And Tian Qinzuo has a normal relationship with Cao Bin, and even has a little bit of trouble with him. Because of this, he became the supervisor of the army this time, and the court intended to check and balance Cao Bin.

After Tian Qinzuo listened, he felt that what Cao Bin said was also reasonable, so he didn't argue any more. Along the way, his military achievements have increased a lot, and both of them are a community of interests. Now that it is critical to attack the city, he doesn't want to tear it apart with Cao Bin for the time being. Broken face, the reason why he made the suggestion just now is because of different understandings. He believes that work and rest should be combined, proper rest and rectification should not be excessively aggressive.

"Since General Cao knows what's in his mind, let someone in Tian worry too much, and I have to go back to the camp to check the inventory and accounts, so I won't bother General Cao to command the army to attack the city."

Tian Qinzuo didn't want to make fun of himself, so after chatting a few words, he immediately turned his horse's head and left with his guards.

Several generals around Cao Bin, such as Pan Mei and others, were very angry.

For example, Pan Mei, who knew Tian Qinzuo's virtue for a long time, could not help complaining to Cao Bin: "Everyone knows that this Tian Xiaoer is a cunning villain. He always turns black and white and slanders loyal people. General Fang has suffered many times. Such a villain is too fearful to avoid, but you brought him along and asked His Majesty to invite such a person to be the supervisor, isn't this leading the wolf into the house!"

Seeing that Pan Mei was angry, Cao Bin enlightened him, "Of course I know he is not a good person. Because of this, we must take him with us!"

"What do you mean?" Pan Mei was good at fighting, but when it came to brain teasers, she was far behind Cao Bin, and she didn't quite understand.

Cao Bin sighed: "This expedition took a long time, and the officials handed over all the elite soldiers to me. If Tian Qinzuo is left by His Majesty's side, he will definitely slander us, support the soldiers, have the heart of rebellion, etc. Wait, we are too far away from the official house, and we have no chance to explain. This matter is serious. It cannot be said that we won the battle and came back with no brains. Now I bring him by my side. If he wants to slander, we can also Take precautions in advance."

Pan Mei was still worried, and asked: "Then take this guy, he records every day, won't he arrange our mistakes behind his back?"

Cao Bin smiled slightly and said: "He and we both prosper and lose together. If we lose a battle, he will also be unlucky. Now that we have won many battles and made military achievements, he has also reaped benefits. Don't worry, he will continue to fight along the way." He is sensible and did not make trouble, and now that Jinling is about to be broken, it should be that the cooperative relationship is coming to an end, so there is more talk."

"So that's how it is!" Pan Mei nodded and remained silent.

In fact, Cao Bin knew in his heart that he led all the elite soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it was difficult to reassure the emperor Zhao Kuangyin. He was worried that if Cao Bin also had a mutiny in Chenqiao, the emperor's seat would be lost.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin must be wary of Cao Bin, who holds a heavy army. Therefore, Cao Bin also thought of this before leaving, so he took the initiative to ask the official Zhao Kuangyin for one person, Tian Qinzuo, to be the supervisor of the army. The lieutenant waits.

Zhao Kuangyin also knew that Tian Qinzuo and Cao Bin were not on good terms, so sending this person was like a supervisor. Supervising Cao Bin was very suitable, so he did it without even thinking about it!
Cao Bin also has difficulties, he has to do this!
Jinling City, Chengxin Hall of the Imperial Palace.

Li Yu was worried, and walked around in Chengxin Hall. Two emperor brothers knelt at the table, Zheng Wang Li Congshan and Deng Wang Li Congyi, pleading guilty to Li Yu.

"Brother Huang, it was my brothers who were incompetent and failed to defend Runzhou City and the line of defense that caused Jinling City to be besieged. Please punish me, Brother Huang!"

"Brother, please punish me!"

Li Yu stopped, looked at the two imperial brothers, and shook his head helplessly: "The three of us are all brothers, and we are all of the royal blood. We should be of one heart and one mind, united and friendly, and unanimously external. This Li Tang Jiangshan is us We all have the responsibility to protect our grandfather, I believe you didn't do it on purpose, you are incompetent, I can't blame you, get up!"

Li Congshan and Li Congyi looked at each other and stood up.

"Brother Huang, now that the soldiers are approaching the city, do we still have a chance?" Li Congyi couldn't help asking.

Now in the entire Jinling City, no matter if it is the common people, the ministers, or the relatives of the emperor, they are all terrified.

Facing the onslaught of the Song Army in the past few days like a storm, anyone who has seen such scenes will have nightmares, because the Song Army fought fiercely and it was really hard to resist. Compared with it, the morale of the Tang Army is gradually declining.

"Do your best, listen to the destiny, dynasties have changed, and the fate of the country has dictated it. Our Li family's land and mountains were also taken from the hands of Xu Wen and Yang Xingmi. You have also seen that since the Huangchao uprising occurred in the Tang Dynasty, the northern five The country alternates, and each country only has a national fortune of 30 to [-] years. In the past hundred years, too many wars and subjugation have occurred. In the southern land, there are many princes, and they have risen and fallen one after another. However, if you think about it, if you really defend Can't stop, as the king of the Tang Dynasty, I can die for the country. You county kings, the Song Dynasty will not embarrass you. If you go to Bianjing, you may be able to become an official. If you don't seek great development, you can live a rich life, that's enough .”

Li Yu has already seen it very openly, and he has already expected in his heart that it will be even more difficult to defend Jinling.

Li Congshan and Li Congyi in front of them fell silent, feeling desolate and helpless. The country won by their ancestors will eventually be lost by their third generation.
