Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 427 Surrender now, is there still time?

Yuzhou government office.

"Luo Youdu is still standing still in Kuizhou?"

The messenger said: "The enemy general Shi Shouxin led more than a thousand soldiers and horses to cruise around Wanzhou, Kaizhou, and Anzhou. The general quickly supported them, and it would be too late if it was too late."

When Shi Kai heard this, his brows were tightly knit together, his feet unconsciously strode left and right, his face was ugly.

Yuzhou was called Jiangzhou in ancient times, the place where Zhang Feiyi explained Yan Yan.

Because of the distinction from Jiangzhou in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Jiangzhou was changed to Ba County, and at the beginning of Sui Kaihuang, Ba County was abolished and Yuzhou was changed.

In the east of Bashu, Kuizhou is the gateway, Anzhou, Wanzhou, and Kaizhou are the front gate compound, followed by Zhongzhou is the hall, and Yuzhou is the corridor connecting the back room. After passing the corridor, you can directly enter the back room Chengdu. .

Anzhou is an important salt-producing area in central Sichuan, also known as Yun'anjian.In order to prevent the Ba people from robbing salt, Meng Chang specially ordered people to build a strong city.

The former Wanzhou and Kaizhou are located on the banks of the Diejiang River, while the latter is located in the steep upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

The three cities have formed a horned situation, which can depend on each other and is the second line of defense for entering Shu.

Shi Kai was a veteran general who followed Meng Zhixiang to Shu, compared to those young Shu generals who grew up bullying rebels and mountain people, who had never fought a real war, or rose directly through connections.

Generals like Shi Kai who have fought on the battlefield are superior in terms of strategic foresight and tactical thinking.

He has already seen Luo Youdu's intentions. Although Anzhou, Wanzhou, and Kaizhou have solid geographical advantages, they are not popular, and they are prone to mutiny, which is not conducive to defense.

If you really want to defend the three cities, you will be controlled by the other side.

Shi Kai had no intention of sending troops to rescue, but the letters of appeal for help from Anzhou Salt Superintendent Wu Linyang, Wanzhou Inspector Fei Ping, and Kaizhou Inspector Sun Yuan came one after another, making him a little upset.

Now there are rumors in the army that he is too timid to fight. Shi Kai gritted his teeth and said, "Go back and tell the two governors, Supervisor Wu, Fei, and Sun, that An, Ping, and opening three prefectures are not conducive to defense. Let them think There is a way to retreat to Chungju, and a certain party will meet them on the way."

In any case, you can't go to An, Wan, and Kaizhou. There were rebellions in Wanzhou and Kaizhou half a year ago.

They would rather give up than take risks, they can't afford to lose.

Shi Kai made this decision, but there was a feeling of loss of strength in his body.

He also knows that this is self-deception.

If they could retire, Shi Kai believed that Wu Linyang, Fei Ping, and Sun Yuan would have already retired.

Such a hasty request for help caused panic because he could not retreat.

The salt inspector Wu Linyang, Fei Ping and Sun Yuan, who got the news from Shi Kai, all cursed at him.

"The old man is afraid of fighting, and he refuses to save him? Sell me?"

Just as Shi Xi thought, if they could run, they would have already run away.

Even if they bear the name of abandoning the war and throwing the soil, the three of them will recognize it.

It's better than being buried with the city.

Although Luo Youdu didn't send any troops, Shi Shouxin led more than a thousand troops to guard.

There are not many people, but who dares to step forward and touch the brows of those soldiers in iron armor?
The copper in Bashu was squandered for Meng Chang, and the common people used iron coins.

Iron equals money.

Except for the imperial guards in Chengdu who have the qualification of iron armor, most of the defenders in Pingzhou and Kaizhou are in leather armor, and only a few generals have a complete set of iron armor.

Due to the special situation of Yun Anjian, there were a thousand iron armors before.

But in order to raise money for Meng Chang to build the palace, Wu Linyang melted eight hundred sets of iron armor and forged them into iron coins...

Shi Kai didn't dare to support, Wu Linyang, Fei Ping, and Sun Yuan couldn't run away. The people had already heard about Luo Youdu's benevolent deeds in Kuizhou, and the people's hearts were not in their hearts, and they were ready to move.

Before two days had passed, Fei Ping couldn't hold on any longer and contacted Wu Linyang and Sun Yuan on his own initiative.

Together, Fei Ping and Sun Yuan sent someone to surrender to Luo Youdu of Kuizhou.

Shi Kai made it clear that he wanted to give up An, Ping, and Kai, but Fei Ping and Sun Yuan were willing to die for it.

Wu Linyang hesitated, and did not immediately follow suit.

He is slightly different from Fei Ping and Sun Yuan.

Wu Linyang's surname is Wu, a common surname in central Shu, and his ancestor is Ji Han's uncle Wu Yi, who is very famous in Bashu.

Many people in the clan serve in the court, and their status is not low.

Wu Linyang was worried that his family would be involved, so he didn't dare to surrender neatly.

After receiving Fei Ping and Sun Yuan's joint surrender, Luo Youdu didn't have any regrets, but said with a smile: "From this point of view, the old general of Bashu is still capable, and Sun Yuan and Fei Ping are okay. The family surnamed Wu has a history of 500 years in Shu. They have a lot of influence in the court, and he dared to give up Anzhou. His courage is worth mentioning."

He paused and said: "In this case, then first take over Ping and Kai Erzhou, trap him in Zhongzhou, and light a fire in his backyard by the way."

He is not Zhuge Wang Zhaoyuan with juice, blindly confident in himself.

Use a strategy to the end, leaving no way out for yourself.

What you can think of, your opponent may not be able to think of it.

Therefore, it is still very important to leave yourself a trump card and room for maneuver.

Just like Kanglong Youhui in martial arts, what is really powerful is the word regret.

It is also a beautiful thing to be able to win Pingzhou and Kaizhou without bloodshed.

"Tian Shaobin was ordered to attack Yun'an prison immediately. I will stand on the top of Yun'an prison tomorrow morning to watch the rising sun."

Luo Youdu knew in his heart that as long as it took a few more days, Wu Linyang would probably surrender like Fei Ping and Sun Yuan.

However, Wu Linyang who died in battle was more useful than Wu Linyang who surrendered alive.

The result of storming Yunanjian is more advantageous for the battle situation than taking Yunanjian without bloodshed.

"Your Majesty, the last general's hands are itchy!"

Hu Yanzan said aggrievedly.

As Luo Youdu's personal bodyguard, Hu Yanzan was extremely responsible.

However, as a militant, a fierce man who stabs "killing thieves with a heart" on his body when he has nothing to do, does not have many opportunities to go into battle, so he will inevitably feel wronged.

Wang Tingyi also said: "The last general also wants to fight the enemy!"

Glancing at the two humming generals, Luo Youdu thought that they were following him dutifully, so he couldn't help but soft-heartedly said: "Forget it, I haven't been to the front line for a long time, let's go and see together!"

He originally planned to leave after taking down Yun'an prison, but for the sake of Hu Yanzan and Wang Tingyi, he moved half a day earlier, so he moved half a day earlier.

Hu Yanzan and Wang Tingyi smiled one after another, the eagerness in their eyes could not be concealed at all.

They got together and made a bet to see who would kill the most and who would ascend the city first.

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Luo Youdu laughed dumbfounded.

These two treasures...

When Luo Youdu arrived at the front line, Tian Shaobin had already lined up outside Yun'an Prison.

Yun'anjian is solid, but it's not a huge city.

The only siege equipment is simple wooden mantle carts and flying ladders.

The well-trained soldiers, hiding behind the wooden curtain carts that can guard against crossbows and catapult carts, slowly approached Yunanjian.

On the city tower, Wu Linyang looked palely at the mighty soldiers below the city, who couldn't see the end at a glance, his intestines were green with regret, and a thought flashed in his mind: Is it too late to surrender now?

　Thank you book friend Wei for your reward, thank you for your support!
