Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2307 Surrounding but not attacking

The spring breeze in February is like scissors.

The spring breeze in Bazhong has always been soft, and the winter here is very short. After the Lantern Festival just passed, the spring is already here.

On the mountain, on the side of the road, some small flowers can be seen everywhere.

The water in the river is rushing, and it never freezes here at all.

It took Qin Tian two months to finally rush from Chang'an City to Bazhong.

Relatively speaking, this place is not very far away. If you go fast, it will take about a few days, but their team is too long, and if there are too many people, the speed will inevitably be affected, so until the end of February, they Finally came to the border of Bazhong.

After the soldiers and horses entered the land of Bazhong, they surrounded the entire city of Bazhong.

In fact, a city like Bazhong is easy to encircle, because it is built next to the mountain. If there is no need to encircle one side of the mountain, they only need to enclose the front.

After the Tang army surrounded Bazhong City, Qin Tian didn't order to attack the city, but just surrounded it.

Seeing this situation, all the generals of the vassal kings couldn't understand what Qin Tian meant by doing this.

"My lord, when will we attack the city? Although Bazhong City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but we add artillery and bombard it rumblingly. It shouldn't be difficult to break through the city."

"That's right, if Li Ke, king of Shu, is destroyed, the rebellion will be settled. When will we attack the city?"

"........."

Everyone was a little anxious, but Qin Tian smiled lightly: "No rush, we will attack the city in three days and let our soldiers have a good rest."

"Three days later?" Everyone is still puzzled, you have come all the time, why wait three days before attacking the city?
But Qin Tian seemed to be confident about this, so they couldn't say anything more when they saw this, they could only nod their heads in response.

The Tang army stationed outside the city, besieged but did not attack.

In the city, a spy soon told Luo Feng about the situation.

Hearing this, Luo Feng suddenly burst out laughing: "Our Shu land is not comparable to other feudal lords' lands. Our mountain is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Then Qin Tian must have seen us The city is not easy to attack, that's why he didn't rush to attack, don't worry about them, we just need to spend time with them here, wait until they can't wait to attack the city, then we will make a move, relying on such danger, give Qin Tian In half a year, he may not be able to attack."

Luo Feng has been in Shu for many years. When Shu King Li Ke was in Chang'an City, Luo Feng did many things here. He is very confident in his own city and his ability to defend.

So he felt that even if Qin Tian had 20 troops, he would definitely not be able to attack his Bazhong City.

After he gave such instructions, some soldiers in the city also felt that this was the way it should be. In such a city, others would feel tired even if they climbed up, let alone attacking the city.

This obstacle is enough to resist Qin Tian and the others.

In Bazhong City, there was no such atmosphere as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Even if they knew that Qin Tian was very powerful, facing them in the middle of Sichuan, Qin Tian would have to suffer. They just wanted to watch Qin Tian suffer.
-
Bazhong City at the end of February is really pleasant and the weather is comfortable.

Even though there are 25 troops outside the city at this time, the people in the city still seem a little leisurely, and this situation is not found in other places.

First of all, the people here are like this, their life is very slow, and they are a little indifferent to many things.

What's more, they have heard about the people in other places where the rebels dealt with them. The imperial court will not do anything to these people. Not only that, but when they appease them, they will also give some benefits. The Tang army outside the city rushed in, so their life might be easier.

Apart from the common people in the city, even some officials are mostly leisurely.

Song Yuyu is Luo Feng's deputy general. In Bazhong City, besides Luo Feng, he has the highest official position.

Song Yuyu is good at using soldiers, and he can be regarded as a rare general.

At this time, Song Yuyu was not in the army, but came to a tea house in Bazhong City.

In this place, tea is a very popular drink, unlike in other places, wine is more popular.

The people in the Shu area eat a lot of oil, so they often drink tea to scrape the oil. In this case, the demand for tea will be very large, and after the demand for tea is large, there will be more teahouses and teahouses.

There are many tea houses in Bazhong City, but the price of tea here has risen recently, so many ordinary people cannot afford it.

The imperial court has blocked economic exchanges with Shu, and the outside things that can be seen on weekdays are not seen now. It does not mean that Shu does not produce tea itself, they also produce tea, but the economic blockade, It will definitely have an impact on the business of the teahouse.

Song Yuyu entered a teahouse, then went to a private room, and ordered a pot of good tea.

Before he poured a cup of tea, another person entered the room. This person was dressed in the clothes of a servant in a tea house, but his demeanor was very different.

Song Yuyu took a look, then asked, "You asked me out?"

The waiter in the teahouse smiled: "Vice General Song is safe and well."

Song Yuyu was taken aback for a moment, and after careful identification, he realized that this young man knew him.

"You are Liu Lu?"

The boy smiled: "Vice General Song still remembers me. It's a great honor. I thought that Vice General Song would not recognize Brother Paozhe when he was promoted in this central Sichuan."

Song Yuyu's expression moved slightly. He and Liu Lu joined the army together. Back then, Liu Lu saved his life when they fought side by side. But later, he came to Sichuan, and Liu Lu went to other places. The relationship between the two was reversed. Less, counting now, I'm afraid they haven't seen each other for many years.

At this time, Liu Lu appeared in front of him as a servant, and listening to his words, it was obvious that there was another deep meaning.

Thinking of the situation outside the city, Song Yuyu immediately became nervous.

"The king of Xiliang asked you to come?"

Liu Lu smiled slightly, sat down opposite Song Yuyu, and said, "Vice General Song is indeed a smart man, and it was the King of Xiliang who sent me here."

"The king of Xiliang sent you to see me, why?"

"Naturally, I would like to persuade Vice General Song to turn his back on it, lest the whole family have a happy death, and what's more, to send Vice General Song a fortune."

Having said that, it is already obvious what the meaning is, but Song Yuyu suddenly clenched his knife tightly. Qin Tian wants to persuade him to surrender, but can he surrender?

For him, this was undoubtedly a very tangled matter, but Liu Lu smiled slightly. If the prince asked him to come, there would be no mistakes.
