Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 658 Surrounding Zhuozhou

Zhuozhou city.

Fang Guoshou looked at this important town in the north. It used to be the place where the Yellow Emperor and Chi You fought decisively, and it was the core area of ​​the northern Central Plains civilization.

Zhuozhou City is also the governing seat of Fanyang Town, and it is Tian Chengsi, the general of Anlu Mountain, who is annexed in Zhuozhou City.

Tian Chengsi was born in the Tian family of Yanmen, and he was the assistant school of Lu Longjun.He was brave and good at fighting. He followed the general of An Lushan, the military governor of Pinglu, and made many military exploits. He moved to General Zuo Wuwei and led his army to capture Luoyang.

But after An Qingxu killed his father and usurped the throne, veterans like Tian Chengsi and Shi Siming were arranged by An Qingxu to return to their hometown in Hedong.

Although Tian Chengsi's qualifications are not as good as Shi Siming's, he is quite prestigious in Hedong.

Now guarding Zhuozhou is Tian Chengsi's [-] troops.

These 5 people are also the elite who followed Tian Chengsi to conquer the world. In history, Tian Chengsi returned to the Tang court after Shi Siming's death, but he still ruled Weibo Town, Xiangwei and other seven states. , making the feudal separatism increasingly serious.

During the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the Weibo Fanzhen, which had been rebelling, submitting, and rebelling constantly, was founded by Tian Chengsi.

However, the previous negotiations between the two sides were quite pleasant, Tian Chengsi still asked his nephew to bring Fang Guoshou in.

For example, infantry must disperse as much as possible when encountering shelling. The more dispersed troops are, the less likely they are to become targets of shelling.

But this time the Tang army used all eighteen cannons to bombard the city walls of Zhuozhou uninterruptedly.

"Major General, is General Tian still unwilling to surrender?"

Tian Chengsi's tone was full of anger, and he put his hand on the saber, as if he was about to draw the saber.

"now?"

"General, the Tang army is bombarding Dongcheng!"

No wonder the history books say that when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, "hundreds of boats competed and thousands of sails raced across Yongji Canal".

Now Yuchixin's army has captured Shunyi County near Zhuozhou, but instead of continuing to march towards Zhuozhou, they kept shouting to Tian Chengsi to persuade him to lead his troops to surrender.

The roar followed one after another, Tian Chengsi's face was cloudy and uncertain, until the guard rushed in and said:

Tian Yue said: "The Yongji Canal is flooded with rain, I'm afraid it's not safe."

Not only the Yongji Canal, but many rivers in North China have stopped flowing. In the real world, the North China Plain is short of water, so there is a South-to-North Water Diversion Project.

In other words, the habit of reckless military generals is just Tian Chengsi's disguise. The Tian family is a Han family that has been passed down from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the present.

Now that the new security fortress has been built, Yuchixin is ready to attack Zhuozhou City. Fang Guoshou asks Yuchixin to give him another chance to find a way to enter the city to persuade Tian Chengsi to surrender.

For the sake of the Luoyang war situation, the imperial court should also accept its own request.

This time the Tang army did not use soldiers to attack the city, but set up artillery from a distance to bombard the east wall of Zhuozhou City.

If he really handed over the military power, wouldn't he become meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others?
A northern general like Tian Chengsi has always believed in the supremacy of strength.

"Mr. Fang, I'm afraid you are not dreaming. I still have [-] troops in the city of Zhuozhou. With your words, are we going to surrender without a fight?"

Tian Chengsi had just finished handling military affairs, so he was a little surprised by Fang Guoshou's sudden visit.

Fang Guoshou still kept a smile on his face, and soon more military information was sent to Tian Chengsi.

Tian Chengsi is also a slippery and cunning guy. While negotiating with Tang Jun to procrastinate for time, he asked Shi Chaoyi of Qingzhou for help, and his idea was to wait and see what happened.

Some soldiers who have experienced artillery battles even spontaneously summed up a set of ways to avoid shelling.

Tian Chengsi asked in surprise: "Your Highness? Aren't you an army of the Tang Dynasty?"

Just as Tian Chengsi finished speaking, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound coming from the east.

Who knew that just after walking for a while, it began to rain heavily.

At the juncture of life and death, the wisdom of soldiers is also infinite.

Tian Chengsi must give up Zhuozhou City, and his troops must be reorganized by the Tang army. The opposite Tang army promised the wealth of the Tian family, but the Tian family had to move to Longyou.

Fang Guoshou said:
"Fang's visit this time is to give General Tian an ultimatum. He will not accept our unconditional surrender within three days. After the city is broken, there will be no such generous treatment."

Also, you must get down immediately when you hear the sound of the cannon, so that you can avoid many well-known shrapnel damage.

Tian Chengsi looked at Fang Guoshou and said:
"Is Datang planning to bombard the entire city of Zhuozhou with cannons?"

However, although Tang Jun's request was outrageous, the opposite Tang Jun's general seemed very pedantic, and he really stopped attacking Zhuozhou City during the negotiation.

But Fang Guoshou said in a serious tone: "It is now."

Fang Guoshou shook his head and said, "General Tian is not such a person. My Highness has said that only Shi Siming and his son of Anlu Mountain will be punished in Hedong. Those who can sacrifice the city and surrender, they only need to move to Longyou to ensure their prosperity and wealth."

Tang Jun also fought a few battles in Fanyang, and now Fanyang's army also knows the magical weapon of cannon.

What's even more frightening is that the defenders in the east of the city dare not approach the city wall at all, for fear of being swept away by artillery fire.

Tian Chengsi thought that he invited Fang Guoshou into the city of Zhuozhou like the previous envoys, and sent his nephew Tian Yue to accompany Fang Guoshou, and there was nothing wrong with the etiquette.

In history, the Tian family relied on this ability to see the wind and the wind, and the Tian family ruled the Northland for more than a hundred years.

Tian Yue looked at Fang Guoshou suspiciously, and only then did Fang Guoshou realize that he had made a slip of the tongue.

Hearing the sound of cannons from the east, Tian Chengsi understood that what Fang Guoshou said was not empty words, Tang Jun really launched an attack!
Just why did Tang Jun launch an attack at this time?Now the sun is about to set, are the soldiers going to attack the city at night?

This condition was also carefully considered by Tian Chengsi. Now Datang is facing tremendous pressure from Shi Siming to go south. If he changes his flag in Fanyang, it will have a huge impact on Shi Siming's army.

If possible, it is best to put an iron pot or iron basin on the head, which can protect the head.

He is an expert in the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Later generations once inspected the Yongji Canal site. At that time, the northern section of Yongji Canal had already stopped flowing.

Tian Yue was a little surprised. In the past, when the two sides sent envoys to each other to negotiate, they always procrastinated. Wherever Fang Guoshou came up, he hurriedly asked to see him.

Fang Guoshou shouldered the mission this time and was going to enter Zhuozhou City to persuade Tian Chengsi to surrender.

Fang Guoshou nodded and said: "It is the army under the command of His Royal Highness King Yue who attacked Fan Yang."

Fang Guoshou said: "Of course not, my Tang army is the army of justice, Zhuozhou is the Zhuozhou of the Tang Dynasty, we are here to restore Zhuozhou City!"

So although Tian Yue is Tian Chengsi's nephew, he is Tian Chengsi's heir.

Tian Chengsi sneered and said, "Is Tian still afraid of your attacking the city?"

Tian Chengsi asked calmly: "Aren't you afraid that Tian will be destroyed?"

Fang Guoshou walked into Zhuozhou City as an envoy of the Tang army with a festival stick in his hand.

Tang Jun's conditions made Tian Chengsi feel insulted. The [-] troops belonged to him. He was able to be valued by the An family father and son to the Shi family father and son because of these [-] soldiers.

Tian Yue wanted to return to the post house, but Fang Guoshou said, "This heavy rain is not a problem, can the Major General accompany me to Yongji Canal?"

On the one hand, Yu Chixin gave Tian Chengsi the hope of negotiating, and the army from southeast Modong built a city in Xin'an, west of Zhuozhou, cutting off Tian Chengsi's escape channel to Taiyuan.

Fang Guoshou was not intimidated by Tian Chengsi. He was familiar with history books and knew that under Tian Chengsi's seemingly reckless appearance, he was actually quite exquisite.

Fang Guoshou couldn't help but said: "Is the water volume of Yongji Canal so abundant?"

The city walls of Zhuozhou are tall and strong, but under the repeated bombardment of cannons, small gaps have appeared.

Tian Yue accompanied Fang Guoshou to browse around the city of Zhuozhou. On the way back to the post house, Fang Guoshou suddenly proposed to meet Tian Chengsi.

Fang Guoshou, who was still gentle and refined just now, suddenly became serious, and Tian Yue was also caught by his aura, so he could only obediently take him to the Jiedu envoy's mansion, begging to see Tian Chengsi.

Fighting with An Lushan before hurt the root, and now Tian Chengsi has completely given up the idea of ​​having a son and adopted his nephew Tian Yue as his heir.

Tian Chengsi was quite polite to Fang Guoshou, but after Fang Guoshou reiterated the conditions of the Tang army, asking Tian Chengsi to put down his arms and surrender unconditionally, accept the reorganization of the Tang army, and the Tian family would move to Longyou. laughed out.

However, Tang Jun's conditions were so harsh that even Tian Yue found it unacceptable.

What Tian Chengsi didn't know was that Yu Chixin didn't expect the negotiations to achieve results, and the negotiations with the Tang army in Longyou were just to buy time for the new security to build the city.

Tian Yue is a scholar, and has not yet grown into the patriarch of the separatist feudal town in the later generations. Now he does not agree with his uncle's way of being a warrior.

Tian Chengsi thought that behind the Tang army he was negotiating with was the Tang court. He offered the same conditions as Shi Siming's before, asking the court to grant him the post of Fan Yang Jiedu envoy, and allowing him to lead his old department. The Tang court became a minister.

On the second day Fang Guoshou entered the city, he suddenly proposed to take a stroll in Zhuozhou City, Tian Yue could only accompany him on the carriage.

But Tian Chengsi did not expect that Tang Jun, who was negotiating with him, was very firm.

In the history books, Tian Chengsi's figure is very flexible, and he knows how to advance and retreat.

But Fang Guoshou found that there is abundant rainfall in North China today. When he saw the Yongji Canal with a wide river surface, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. alright!

Although Tian Chengsi's name was "Chengsi", he could not give birth to a son.

Tian Chengsi had made up his mind to procrastinate, so he kept sending envoys to and from Zhuozhou City to negotiate with the Tang army intermittently.

King Yue?

Isn't the King of Yue in Longyou?

It turned out that the army that I fought with for so long was actually loyal to the King of Yue?

　Errata, the strategic point between Zhuozhou and Taiyuan is Xinbaoan, and the players led by Qin Chuan built a fort in Xinbaoan.
