Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 519
Welcoming Wang Yan into the state government office, and invited him to tea, Tian Cheng said, "I don't know why the governor is outside the city?"

Wang Yandao: "Last night, I was ordered by the Commander-in-Chief to set up an ambush twenty miles away. I don't know how the battle is going to be here. After making arrangements, I hurried over to have a look. It happened by coincidence that you were attacking the city."

"I see." Tian Cheng nodded and stopped talking.

The relationship between the two parties is special, and Tian Cheng has no idea how to get along with each other.Say one less sentence if you can, so as not to cause misunderstanding.

Wang Yandao: "Just now outside the city, I saw many iron frames in front of you. They caught fire together, and then the city wall of Junzhou collapsed like heaven and earth. Marquis Yu, I don't know what kind of weapon it is. I haven't seen it before."

Tian Chengdao: "It's a cannon. It's nothing unusual. It uses gunpowder to put it in a barrel and shoots out bullets after it is ignited. At the beginning of this year, when bandits attacked De'an, Chen Fu ordered people to use bamboo poles to load gunpowder and smashed the enemy army. Same thing with artillery."

Wang Yandao: "Perhaps the reason is the same, but the power is vastly different. I see that your artillery fires and destroys the city in one shot. What's the use of fortifying the city if you have artillery in the future?"

Tian Cheng smiled and said: "Zhenfu, the artillery is not that powerful. A real fortified city can hardly be destroyed by artillery. The city of Junzhou is small and the walls are thinner, so it is just vulnerable. How can a real big city be so powerful?" So easy?"

The two chatted for a while, and Tian Cheng arranged a residence for Wang Yan to live in temporarily.Early tomorrow morning, Wang Xiao hunted to Junzhou.

Tutai post, Wang Xiaolie's headquarters.

After reading the battle report ahead again and again, Wang Ruohai said: "I didn't expect the artillery to be so powerful. Just one round of volleys knocked down half of the city wall, killing Li Zhong and several important generals in his army. "

Wang Xiaolie took the battle report and briefly read it.He said: "Junzhou City is still a bit small, and the city walls are not very strong. In previous military drills, the city walls were not so easy to break. It was also Li Zhong's hit that should have this calamity, and he happened to run into the mouth of the gun."

After finishing speaking, he handed the battle report to Li Yanxian who was on the side.

Wang Ruohai said: "It's just strange, last night Jie Shuai asked Wang Yan to set up an ambush twenty miles away, but why did he go to Junzhou City?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "This Wang Zhenfu was born in the 'Eight Character Army' of the Taihang Mountains. Wars are often unexpected. Let him set up an ambush twenty miles away, and say that he can destroy Junzhou in one day. I'm afraid he won't believe it. Don't go to the front line by yourself. Take a look, how to arrange it?"

Li Yanxian nodded: "What Jie Shuai said is true. Wang Zhen has been fighting in Taihang Mountain for many years. Who doesn't know his name? It's not uncommon for people from the rebel army to like to be on the front line."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Tomorrow we go to Junzhou, just ask him face to face. No need to guess here and there."

Wang Ruohai said: "When Jieshuai was in Kaifeng Mansion, Wang Zhenfu helped him a lot. I wonder if it's true?"

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Of course it is true. At that time, hundreds of people under my command were all recruited from the village, and no one knew how to lead troops. After arriving in Kaifeng Mansion, I often asked Wang Zhenfu for advice. He knew everything, They also sent me a few small schools.”

Wang Ruohai said: "If that's the case, Wang Zhenfu is kind to Yu Jieshuai, and he shouldn't be treated like an ordinary person."

Wang Xiaolie smiled and said: "That's right. Wang Zhenfu and I are old acquaintances, so we are naturally different from others. I treat people with sincerity, and I can never make a mistake. We will meet in Junzhou tomorrow, so don't be too cautious, just speak up." that is."

Wang Ruohai nodded.

Junzhou, Wudang County, Wudang Army Jiedu, stationed in Wudang County, established in the Western Han Dynasty, named after the nearby Wudang Mountain.The geographical location is very important for the key point of the road from Jinzhou to Sichuan and Sichuan.Zhang Jun asked Wang Yan to be Jin Junfang's envoy, with the intention of ensuring the safety of Sichuan and Sichuan.

The next day, Wang Xiaolie set off before dawn, and the sun had just risen, and he had already arrived outside the city of Junzhou.

Tian Cheng and Zhang Chi had already come out of the city with a group of generals, and Wang Yan was by Tian Cheng's side.Seeing Wang Xiaolie coming, everyone crossed their hands and sang promises.

Wang Xiao returned the gift.To Wang Yandao: "I heard that Zhen Fu has arrived in Junzhou, I wish I could fly over here. It's just that the army is moving and there are many affairs, and it has dragged on until today. Zhen Fu is no wonder."

"How dare you!" After listening to Wang Xiaolie's words, Wang Yan relaxed a lot. "You are the envoy of Southwest Beijing Road. I should obey the military orders."

Wang Xiaolie said: "Zhenfu is a feudal town, so don't care about these false names. Let's go, let's go into the city!"

A group of people entered the state office and sat down in the official hall.Tian Cheng arranged for tea to be delivered, and asked everyone to rest.

Wang Xiaolie said to Wang Yan: "Is Zhenfu's army still twenty miles away? Didn't they come to Junzhou?"

Wang Yandao: "Jie Shuai's army is here, Li Zhong died in the first battle, how can my army come to Junzhou at this time?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "You are the envoy of Jin Junfang Township, this is your territory, how can you not come? Your army has come, so our army can withdraw. Junzhou is not close to Xiangyang, here is the time How can I bear it after a long time?"

Hearing this, Wang Yan completely let go of a big stone in his heart.To be honest, he was really afraid that Wang Xiaolie would stick around after occupying Junzhou and treat it as his own territory.At that time, it was troublesome to deal with.

After thinking for a while, Wang Yan said: "Since Marshal Jie said so, I will order my troops to come to Junzhou. We will leave tomorrow and arrive in the evening."

Wang Xiaolie said: "This is the best. After all, we are two armies. To avoid trouble, after the Zhenfu army arrives, they will first be stationed in Dingjia Village in the west of the city. We will leave in a few days, and you will enter the city again."

Wang Yan cupped his hands: "What Jieshuai said is true. It should be so."

Said a few gossip.Wang Xiaolie said: "Li Zhong ravaged Jinzhou and Junzhou, and now it's autumn harvest time, Zhenfu must have suffered a lot. After this war, are there any difficulties?"

Wang Yan lowered his head and thought for a while before he said awkwardly: "I'm ashamed to say that Jieshuai came to save me. I should pay money and food and reward the army. But the states under my rule are all in mountainous areas, and they are not as rich as Jieshuai's. The last time Li Zhong invaded, he wasted all food for a year. Since Commander Jie asked, I’ll just say it straight. After this battle, I’m really short of food here.”

Wang Xiaolie said: "Before the battle, I didn't expect it to be so smooth. There are still more than [-] shi of grain in our army, so I gave it to Zhenfu."

"How to make it, how to make it!" Wang Yan hastily declined. "There is a shortage of food in our army, and I have borrowed the three thousand shi of grain! When the autumn grain is harvested next year, I will definitely repay it! Commander Jie led his troops to save me, and take your grain, how can I be a man!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "We are all raising troops to fight against gold, so we should share weal and woe, why divide each other up? You don't have to be polite."

The current Wang Xiaolie naturally has no shortage of these three thousand stones of food.Seeing Wang Yan's sincere attitude, he just smiled.
