Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 396 Zhang Xun and Sui Yang

Da Xixun was caught under the table in the study. Shan Tao didn't show any courtesy to the former Henan Yin of Tang Dynasty and now the false Prime Minister of Yan, and directly dragged him out from under the table.

The other important officials who stayed in Luoyang City were treated the same as Da Xixun, and they were guarded by the players.

Ge Shuhan was taken into a private house by the car, Zhang Wu said to him: "You will be called Ge Qi from now on, this is your house."

Ge Shuhan nodded. Although this small house is not big, it is clean and tidy.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Wu spread out a map, and Ge Shuhan was immediately attracted by the map.

This is a very detailed map!

Ge Shuhan is a battle-tested veteran, so he naturally knows how to make maps, but it is the first time that Ge Shuhan has seen such a detailed map of mountains, rivers and waters.

Seeing the city in the center of the map, and looking at the surrounding mountains and rivers, Ge Shuhan asked, "This is Suiyang?"

Before being captured, Suiyang was besieged by Anlushan rebels.

Suiyang is the waterway from Jianghuai to Guanzhong. Zhang Xun is just a small official with sesame and mung beans. When Anlu Mountain swept the north, most of the county magistrates directly surrendered to Anlu Mountain.

But Zhang Xun didn't. He raised troops from Qingyuan and led his troops to resist Anlushan's army.

In the second year of Zhide, An Qingxu sent Yin Ziqi to lead troops to attack Suiyang, and Zhang Xun led the volunteers he had recruited into Suiyang City, and guarded Suiyang, the Jianghuai barrier, with Xu Yuan, the prefect.

The German Model of later generations is known as the master of defense, but in Zhang Wu's view, what Model is not worthy of carrying Zhang Xun's shoes!
Zhang Xun defended Suiyang firmly, not only for a year, but he was still able to take the initiative to attack, and defeated Yang Chaozong by more than 1 people in the north.

Yin Ziqi's 10,000+ army besieged the city, and Zhang Xun was able to fight day and night, defeating the enemy many times, leaving Yin Ziqi helpless with the small city of Suiyang.

But in real history, although Zhang Xun was very capable of guarding the city, the people of Suiyang were united as one.

However, the Suiyang defenders fought alone, lacking food and supplies, and not enough wound medicine to treat the wounded.

In the end, the people of Suiyang defended the city with Zhang Xun with bamboo poles, and finally fell ten days before Luoyang was restored.

Counting the days, there are only more than 20 days from now.

Suiyang is only 150 kilometers away from Luoyang. After controlling Luoyang City, Zhang Wu set his sights on Suiyang.

If the mid-to-late Tang Dynasty was gloomy and hopeless, Zhang Xun was the brightest light in the history of the mid-Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Xun defended Suiyang to the death, and finally died for Datang.

Zhang Wu wants to save Zhang Xun!
But Zhang Wu also knew that Zhang Xun, who was guarding Suiyang, had many chances to escape.

But he vowed to live and die with Suiyang, if he wanted to save Zhang Xun, he had to preserve Suiyang city.

Zhang Wu looked at Ge Shuhan and explained the current situation in Suiyang.

He pointed to the map and said, "Can Sui Yang be saved?"

Ge Shuhan looked at the map and said to Zhang Wu:

"Before you said that King Jianning is now holding festivals in Longyou, where Hexi is all there. Why did he send people to Luoyang? Why did you save Suiyang?"

Ge Shuhan is not just a soldier, otherwise he would not be the king of Xiping County.

He is a politician who is very good at maneuvering. He asked Zhang Wu: "No matter how long the hand of King Jianning is, it is impossible to extend it to Luoyang or Suiyang. The places you control now will eventually be given to the court." .”

"So what if you save Suiyang, can Zhang Xun still serve King Jianning?"

Ge Shuhan is very aware of loyal people like Zhang Xun. They are loyal to the orthodox Tang Dynasty. Even if you, King Jianning, saved him, if King Jianning rebels in the future, Zhang Xun will definitely lead troops to attack Jianning with a clear banner. Wang Ping rebelled.

Seeing Li Yan's arrangement, Ge Shuhan naturally thought that King Jianning wanted to seize the throne.

But Ge Shuhan didn't understand why King Jianning went to great lengths to save Zhang Xun who was far away in Suiyang.

Ge Shuhan couldn't even figure out why King Jianning's men wanted to save him.

Zhang Wu said with a smile: "Zhang Xun is a true loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty. If such a person can be saved, he is the only one."

"We did this just to make up for some regrets in history."

Ge Shuhan couldn't understand what Zhang Wu said, but he quickly began to study the map.

In fact, how to save Suiyang is a hot topic discussed by players on the forum recently.

But Suiyang is really too far away from Longyou, so far away that Longyou's power can't be projected to Suiyang at all.

Now Zhang Wu only has dozens of players in his hands, and the supplies he carries are explosives and medicines. He doesn't even have a cannon, so there is no way to save Suiyang.

The final conclusion of a group of proficient military players is that with the current situation in Suiyang, there is no way for Longyou to intervene in the rescue.

Even if Zhang Wu led all the players in the Guanzhong area to join Zhang Xun's command and help him defend Suiyang City, it would definitely be impossible to defend.

For this conclusion, Zhang Wu himself has led troops to fight, so he naturally knows that the analysis of these players is correct.

But Zhang Wu felt angry.

He read Tang history, Yan Zhuang who instigated the An Lushan rebellion, finally took Luoyang to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and was awarded the third grade by the Tang officials.

Not to mention that the Jiedu envoys of the three towns in Hedong in the future will all come from rebel generals under the command of Shi Siming in Anlu Mountain.

However, Zhang Xun, a good official who was loyal to the Tang Dynasty and loved the people, could only break the city and die.

You must know that after the capture of Suiyang, even the rebel general Yin Ziqi admired Zhang Xun as an opponent. After Zhang Xunning refused to surrender, he even moved the idea of ​​releasing him back to Datang.

Later, Yin Ziqi's generals persuaded him, and finally Yin Ziqi killed Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun and Yan Zhuang were treated just like Ge Shuhan and Yan Gaoqing.

This is an era in which those who descend are born and those who are loyal die.

This is an era in which good people suffer, treacherous ministers gain power, and villains can die well.

Since he can return to this period of history, why doesn't Zhang Wu want to change history?
Although Zhang Xun was saved, it did not help King Jianning's great cause.

But being able to save such a loyal man is also to leave a bright light in this dim and troubled world!

Unknowingly, "players" like Zhang Wu no longer regard this place as a simple "game".

Instead, they regard everything in "The Wind and Cloud of the Tang Dynasty" as real, and they are also using their own consciousness to transform the world.

Modern players can't help it, maybe the ancient Goshuhan can do it?

It was also for this reason that Zhang Wu went to rescue Ge Shuhan.

Ge Shuhan looked at the map and began to think.

While watching and making gestures, countless plans flashed through Ge Shuhan's mind.

Zhang Wu just sat quietly on the side, quietly watching Ge Shuhan muttering to the map.

From noon to evening, Zhang Xun lit the kerosene lamp in the house, and then Ge Shuhan said:

"The battle in Suiyang has been stalemate so far, and Zhang Xun is almost unable to hold on."

Sure enough, he was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and he had already guessed the outcome of the war just by looking at the map.

According to real history, Suiyang will be able to defend for another 20 days at most.

Ge Shuhan pointed to the map and said: "In July, Zhang Xun was still able to take the initiative to attack, but now the puppet Yan army is fighting steadily, first cutting off the waterway of Suiyang, and cutting off the supply of Jianghuai."

"And surrounded Suiyang City with a large army, and removed the fortress outside Suiyang City step by step."

"What's more important is that the autumn harvest is over now, and the outside of Suiyang city is controlled by the puppet Yan rebels. There is no way to harvest the grain outside the city, so there must be no surplus food in the city."

"This situation can last for ten months, and this Xun is already the decisive general to defend the city."

Zhang Wu asked, "Can it be saved?"

Ge Shuhan said: "Give me 5 troops, and start from Luoyang now, and the siege of Suiyang will surely be relieved!"

Although Ge Shuhan couldn't move half of his leg, the former Great Tang Army God still said confidently.

fifty thousand?

Zhang Wu shook his head and said, "If there are 5 troops, I can solve the siege of Suiyang by myself."

An Qingxu took away most of Luoyang's troops, and Yan Zhuang himself could control less than [-] troops.

These 5000 people are not enough to maintain Luoyang City, where did 5 people come to rescue Suiyang.

Ge Shuhan said again: "If there are not 5 troops, send a dead soldier to sneak into the barracks and assassinate Yin Ziqi."

"If the enemy general is dead, it will be enough to defend Suiyang for another ten days and half a month. As long as Luoyang recovers, the rebels who besieged Suiyang will be defeated."

Zhang Wu said with a headache: "Whether it is Jing Ke's assassination of Qin or the Zhuan Zhuan Liao, they are fully prepared. Yin Ziqi is in the barracks, how can he assassinate him among thousands of troops?"

Ge Shuhan looked at Zhang Wu and said, "That's the last resort."

Recruiting soldiers from Luoyang to rescue Suiyang and assassinating the enemy general Yin Ziqi are all plans proposed by players on the forum.

These plans were all proved to be unfeasible one by one. Hearing that Ge Shuhan had a third plan, Zhang Wu became interested.

I only heard Ge Shuhan say: "Actually, Suiyang is not an isolated city."

"The army of Linhuai Jiedushi is in Linhuai City, not far from Suiyang. Bianzhou Jiedushi Xu Shuji is in Pengcheng. As long as they send troops to help, then Suiyang can be defended."

"Now that An Qingxu has fled back to Hedong, if Luoyang is conquered, then the Guanzhong Tang Army may encircle Yin Ziqi's army with Jianghuai soldiers and horses. The offensive and defensive situation will change, and Yin Ziqi will definitely withdraw at that time!"

Zhang Wu looked at the map, and sure enough Linhuai city and Pengcheng were not far from Suiyang.

Zhang Wu couldn't help being overjoyed, but he asked in doubt: "Then why didn't these two armies go to rescue Suiyang?"

Ge Shuhan sneered and said: "The Bianzhou army has always been cunning and cunning, Xu Shuji is also a greedy person, Suiyang has long been an isolated city, and there is no benefit in saving Suiyang, of course he will not save it."

"The governor of Linhuai is now He Lan Jinming. I know this guy too. He is narrow-minded and timid. If he goes all out to save Suiyang, if Linhuai's defense fails, he will definitely be dismissed by the court. .”

"Linhuai city is not far from Bianzhou. If the Bianzhou army wants to annex Linhuai, it will be able to completely control the water transportation in this section."

"He Lan Jinming's refusal to send troops is also to guard against Xu Shuji."

After listening to Ge Shuhan's analysis, Zhang Wu was dumbfounded.

The Tang Dynasty is like this, and these ministers are still fighting among themselves.

In the past, Zhang Wu felt that Datang was almost destroyed in the Anshi Rebellion, and it was Datang's regret to turn from prosperity to decline.

Now it is a miracle that Datang can survive the Anshi Rebellion and survive for a hundred years!
