Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 128 Defend Dengzhou
The generals entered Wang Xiaolie's residence and saw him sitting there, staring at the case, motionless.After waiting for a while, seeing that Wang Xiaolie still had no response, they sang promises together.

Tell a few people to sit down.Wang Xiaolie said: "When we entered the city yesterday, Tan Zhizhou said that he wanted to cleanse us up, and persuaded us to drink a lot of wine. I'm not a drinker, and I was a little drunk. Who would have thought that he would bring the soldiers and horses of the headquarters , opened the city gate and left at night. You said, our army entered the city, we are not afraid of Yang Jin, so why did we leave?"

Cao Zhiyan said: "It must be because you are afraid of Yang Jin, what other reason can there be?"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "I have two thousand troops entering the city, what else is he afraid of?"

Cao Zhiyan said: "Zhizhou, there are not all heroes in the world like Zhizhou. Most people are afraid of death and suffering, and dare not do many things. Tan Yan was originally a small official, but because of the arrival of Jin Bing, Dengzhou became an empty city. , he was lucky enough to be the magistrate of the state. Thinking about it in the past few months, he has made a lot of money in his hands, which is enough for a lifetime of prosperity and wealth. If this is the case, why bother to fight Yang Jin to death."

Wang Xiaolie nodded, and thought for a while.Cai said: "The golden soldiers are marching south, the country is in peril, and the people are suffering. Where is the time to think about these things? This Tan Yan's vision is too small! Forget it, I don't understand why he did this, so let's not think about it! From now on, Tan Yan is no longer the magistrate of Dengzhou, so don't mention this person again!"

Everyone crossed their hands and said yes.

Wang Xiaolie really couldn't figure it out.Tan Yan, a small official, became the magistrate of a big state like Dengzhou by chance, how could he give up so easily?Even if you have no ambition, you should try hard.If you successfully defend the city, your future will be limitless.Even if he failed in the end, it would not be difficult to save his life with the protection of his soldiers and horses.

In fact, in troubled times, people like Tan Yan are the most common.Without a strong organization of the country, the political system collapsed, and most people would choose to flee in the face of war.It's just that the heroes who have left their names in history are those who resisted bravely.This kind of character is not worthy of being recorded in the history books.Tan Yan's deeds in history were also to earn other people into the city to guard the city for him, and then he left.It has since disappeared into the long river of history.However, the person who was tricked into the city by Tan Yan in history was Wang Jun, who had already been wiped out by Wang Xiaolie.

Wang Xiaolie no longer thought about Tan Yan.He raised his head and said: "Tan Yan is gone, Dengzhou City cannot be lost! Yang Jin outside the city must be eliminated, and he cannot be allowed to do evil everywhere! The Central Plains is devastated, this area is a prosperous place. It would be a pity if Yang Jin looted everywhere .”

Shao Ling said: "Yang Jin was originally a military bandit. He did evil in the vicinity at the beginning of the year, and then he went to the capital."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "I also know a little about this matter. After escaping from Wang Yuan's army, Yang Jin recruited troops and looted everywhere. Finally, he arrived at De'an Mansion and was unable to attack the city, so the Xinyang Army went to the capital. Counting , almost a year now."

The guards nearby knew that the old rules of De'an Mansion were names that Wang Xiaolie had heard in his previous life.Although he was not particularly famous in history, he kept De'an Mansion impregnable and wrote a book "Records of Shoucheng".This book provides a detailed analysis of how to defend the city.

In this era, it can be said that Chen Gui is the best at defending the city.Including Dengzhou, Jinghu Road is the eve of the storm at this time.In the days that followed, the area was turbulent, and I don't know how many forces appeared.To pacify here, two generals, Yue Fei and Zhang Jun, appeared in the Song Dynasty.After being defeated, there were also two generals who surrendered to the Jin Dynasty, namely Kong Yanzhou and Li Cheng.Don't underestimate them, it's not Yue Fei, the other generals of the Song Dynasty don't have much chance of winning against these two.De'an Mansion is in the center of the storm, and it has been impenetrable for more than ten years.

There is another victory of stereotypes in history, that is, the victory of Shunchang.At that time, he defended Shunchang together with Liu Kai and won a big victory.However, Liu Kai was a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the old rules were often ignored.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xiaolie said: "This matter cannot be delayed. Yang entered and left Lushan Pass with no more than a thousand soldiers, and when he reached Dengzhou, there were nearly ten thousand. When he is not on his feet, he should attack immediately. If not, Let him gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses like Minggao Mountain, and things will be hard to say."

All will say yes together.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Today you go back and rest early, and tomorrow you will cook and leave the city for a decisive battle! By the way, in the afternoon, you all come to the state government office, and we will discuss the war."

This is Wang Xiaolie's habit. Before each battle, he has to discuss it carefully with his subordinates.One is to brainstorm, and the other is to let everyone clearly understand their tasks and not be an execution machine.

Several people bid farewell and went out.Only then did Wang Xiaolie feel his head cleared up.Thinking of Tan Yan's actions, I still feel incredible.

Not long after, someone came to report, and Zhang Jun asked to see him.

Let some people in.Wang Xiaolie said: "We went to the city yesterday, why didn't you come to see me?"

Zhang Jun crossed his hands: "The last general came to ask for an interview. It's just that Zhizhou drank alcohol and then fell ill with alcohol, so he had to wait until today."

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "Tan Yan, who knows Dengzhou, has planned for a long time. He wants to lure me into the city, so he can abandon the city and escape. If I had heard from you earlier, I would have made preparations earlier, so I don't have to be so passive."

Zhang Jun crossed his hands and said: "The general has been in Dengzhou for more than a month, I knew this Tan Yan was not doing big things! I wanted to remind Zhizhou, but I hate that guy did something wrong, he couldn't enter the state government last night!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Jun was very upset.This morning, Zhang Jun was also very surprised when he heard that Tan Yan and his men ran away at night.I have thought about countless possibilities before, how could I have thought that Tan Yan would run away suddenly?But I have been in Dengzhou for so many days, if I said I didn't think of it, wouldn't it make Wang Xiaolie look down on me?Before coming, Zhang Jun had a confession with several of his subordinates, and only said that he had thought of it, but he had no chance to inform Wang Xiaolie.

How could Wang Xiaolie be tempted by such a matter?No matter how many things I have to do, if I have a small belly, I will delay in major things.

Asked about Zhang Jun's situation these days, Wang Xiaolie didn't say much, and let him go down to rest.Tan Yan ran away suddenly, and the news that Zhang Jun had inquired these days was all useless.The most important thing now is to eliminate Yang Jin as soon as possible.

Zhang Jun bid farewell and left.Just as he turned around, Wang Xiaolie suddenly said: "By the way, there is one more thing, I'd like to tell you now."

Zhang Jun crossed his hands: "I don't know what happened?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "A few days ago, there was a sudden mutiny in Ruzhou. Those rebels broke into your home and took your mother captive. A few days ago, they went to Ye County. I ordered Xie Linong to chase after him. Order Xie Linong , we must save your mother."

Zhang Jun was stunned.In his heart, he had mixed feelings about his mother.That was my biological mother, who was kind and filial when I was young, and lived a happy life for more than ten years.But since Jin Jun came south and his father was taken into captivity, many things have changed.My mother couldn't bear the hardships, and when she was in Caizhou, she hooked up with a local member of the staff.At that time, Zhang Jun felt sorry for his father on the one hand, and felt ashamed on the other.After all, it was a young man who picked up a knife and killed the member outside. He joined the army and met Wang Xiaolie.

now what?How do you feel about your mother?Zhang Jun couldn't tell.Say you hate your mother, but you can't forget the happy time of 20 years.Say I like it, I always feel weird in my heart.

After a long silence, Zhang Jun said, "I don't know what Zhizhou wants me to do?"

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "The nature of mother and child, how can I let it go? Now that Tan Yan has escaped, I can't let it go. There are no officials in Tangzhou in the middle, so they just took over together. Yang Tiansong fled south and entered Tangzhou. Although I ordered Xie Linong to chase after him, I can't really give up on Ye County. After defeating Yang Jin in the past two days, you should lead your troops to Tangzhou and rescue your mother."

Zhang Jun listened, crossed his hands and said, "I can't repay the kindness of Zhizhou!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "In the current troubled times, I have seen too many such separations. But it is possible, and it is a great thing to reunite the family. You go back first, and have a good rest these few days."

Zhang Jun thanked him, took his leave and left.

For Wang Xiaolie, life and death have indeed been seen a lot these days.How many people were not affected by this chaos?Even in his own family, his father died in battle.Troubled times are too bitter, if you see too much, you will slowly become numb.
