Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 612 The Peaceful Reception of Bashu

The years here in Lin'an are quiet and good, but today's Bashu has begun a long-lost chaos.

After nearly a month of difficult trek, Zhuge Qingyun's troops finally arrived in front of Fushui Pass through the Yinping path.

But the general of Fushui gate panicked in the face of this "heroic soldier" falling from the sky.After all, Fushuiguan is the hinterland of Bashu.

It's not a strictly guarded pass. The guard here is just an eighth-rank county official, who collects some tolls from the common people here.

And the defenders of the entire pass, counting the daily maintenance of order, are only a few dozen people.

Naturally, these people would not be the opponents of Zhuge Qingyun's thousands of soldiers.

For the sake of being fellow Bashu fellows, Zhuge Qingyun didn't do anything directly, but sent Duan Siying to "negotiate" with them.

It's just that Duan Siying's way of negotiating is somewhat "violent".

After she flew up the city wall, all the chief officials were killed, leaving only one small official, and then told this small official that as long as he surrendered and offered up the pass, then his contribution would be great, and the prime minister would not treat him badly.

Persecuted by Duan Siying's force and lured by Zhuge Qingyun, this little official directly opened the city gate, and not only opened the city gate, but also told the surrounding Song army's defense situation under Duan Siying's cross-examination.

Zhuge Qingyun and the others came at a very good time. The main force of the Song army currently entrenched in Bashu has now been transferred to Xiangyang to defend the Tang army in Nanyang.

The remaining part of the main force confronted Yang Chan's Tang army at Jianmen Pass.

Today's Chengdu, Zitong is just an "empty city", with only a few thousand people in each city's security transfer force.

Zhuge Qingyun was overjoyed to get this news, it seems that his firearms are all white belts.

After taking Fushui Pass, the troops under his command immediately went to Chengdu after a short rest.

Just like the history of Deng Ai's destruction of Shu, the soldiers under Zhuge Qingyun sneaked into the city of Chengdu at night.Before Chengdu closed the city gate, they rushed in mightily.

The yamen servants in the city were quick to catch up, and the soldiers guarding the city didn't even know what happened.

After all, no one would have thought that an "enemy army" would suddenly descend here.

Facing the sudden attack by the soldiers, the officers and soldiers of the Song Army only resisted symbolically, and then all put down their weapons.

The reason for this is very simple, that is, the person who led the siege team belonged to Zhuge's family.

The Zhuge family is very popular in Chengdu, and even in the whole of Bashu. Shu people are grateful for their ancestor Zhuge Wuhou's achievements in governing Shu, so they respect Zhuge's family very much.

What's more, most of the soldiers under Zhuge Qingyun's command are from Bashu, and a considerable number of them are from near Chengdu.

When fellow villagers meet fellow villagers, acquaintances are easy to talk to.

Even the officers and soldiers of the Song army guarding the city were relatives and friends of these people.

Before, the two were still enemies of their own masters, but the next moment they recognized each other, and they became old friends again.

After taking Chengdu, Zhuge Qingyun ordered these soldiers to go back to their hometowns to win over the local clans, officials, and gentry to surrender to the Tang Dynasty.

And Zhuge Qingyun held a "surrender meeting" with local officials in the government office of Chengdu.

Duan Siying's eyes were opened, and she also fought a lot of battles with Zhuge Qingyun and Li Qingwei.

But no battle has ever been as smooth as it is now. This is not a siege of a city, it is simply a "meeting to recognize relatives and friends".

And Zhuge Qingyun knew these officials well before.

Zhuge's family is a local rich family, and Zhuge Qingyun is a juren himself, and he can be regarded as a person in the official career. He knows almost all the officials, big and small, in Chengdu.

And Zhuge Qingyun also told them how the Tang army beat the Mongols in the north, and exaggerated the Tang army's military strength.After this round of publicity, it was the final topic, which was to recruit them.

This time, Zhuge Qingyun made a guarantee to them with emotion and reason, in the name of the descendants of Zhuge Wuhou, and as the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Official position, and Datang is now recruiting talented people.

If they can surrender at this time, then they are considered meritorious ministers. If they can help the Tang army take down the surrounding counties, then they are meritorious ministers, and they can also be promoted to rank.

During this period of time, through the propaganda of the beggar gang, the news of the founding of the Tang Dynasty has been spread to everyone in the world.Beggars always like to exaggerate when they sing about the falling of the lotus.

In addition, during this period of time, Guo Jing and Huang Rong were in Kaifeng City, and they really saw the long-lost "political clarity" and "national peace and security".And Huang Rong became the "No. [-] Tang Chui". She asked several elders of the beggar gang to make up a lot of lyrics, from lotus falling to nursery rhymes sung by children on the street.

One after another, they praised the "enlightenment" of Tang Dynasty.

With these early publicity, plus this time Zhuge Qingyun's "God Soldier from Heaven", and his identity as a descendant of Zhuge Wuhou, and those conditions that they have no reason to refuse.

These local officials in Bashu are just one word "surrender".

However, in order to accept the vote of honor, these aristocratic families in Bashu executed all the officials who were parachuted from Lin'an.After that, in the name of Chengdu Mansion, the counties and counties around Chengdu were immediately recruited.

And their surrender directly caused a chain reaction.

On Zitong's side, Zhuge Qingyun didn't attack much at all, and the local aristocratic clans got rid of the officials in Lin'an, and then surrendered to Datang.

Now Yang Chan's old father, Yang Yong, suddenly became difficult to ride a tiger.

Zhuge Qingyun has copied his back route, and Zitong and Chengdu have been lost.

Moreover, all the roads going south were blocked by Zhuge Qingyun. Yang Yong once tried to recapture Zitong City after Jiange.

But it was in vain, as his troops had just arrived at Jiameng Pass, they were stopped by Zhuge Qingyun's firearm camp.Not only did they not even touch the roots of the city wall, but they lost thousands of people in vain.

It was also the first time that Yang Yong saw the secret weapon Tang Jun used against the Mongols.The power of this weapon is simply too terrifying.

Now the Song Army's morale has been lost.

But if it's just a firearm, it's not the biggest "lethal" to the [-] Song Army in Jiange.

Zhuge Qingyun's biggest lethality is "food".

Although the Tang army occupied Zitong City in the rear, Zitong City's supply of materials to the direction of Jiange was not interrupted.

According to the previous ration, Tang Jun will send food to the defenders of Jiange on time, and the strange appearance is like supplying his own troops.

Except for the different flags and armor styles of the two armies, there is not much difference. Even the procedures for counting the food are exactly the same.

But the biggest difference is that Tang Jun never withholds their food, and distributes it according to the ration of the head.

This made many officers and soldiers of the Song Army very strange. Although they felt strange, none of them attacked the Tang Army's grain transportation team without knowing what to do.

After all, they had already fought against Jiameng Pass before.Moreover, the food was not shipped out, but delivered to them to prevent them from starving to death.
