The journey to the heavens starts from the underground station

Chapter 159 Soldiers approach the city, Bianliang city opens (two chapters in one)

Thousands of sails compete, and hundreds of boats compete for the flow.

The soldiers who rushed up the embankment quickly disembarked, formed an army formation on the bank, and pointed their guns at the Song army camp that stretched for several miles below the embankment.

Strangely, none of the soldiers in the Song Army camp dared to come out to stop the Wu Army from crossing the river, but there were quite a few Song Army soldiers lying on the barracks and looking out curiously. Instead, he watched the excitement with his soldiers.

The Song army neither resisted nor surrendered. This scene made Yang Ponu, who was commanding the battle, not know what to do for a while.

Soon, the second wave of river-crossing boats was also fully loaded with Wu Jun to cross the Yellow River, and Li Yu was also in this wave of river-crossing troops.

After going ashore and looking around, Li Yu went straight to the front of the army.

"Your Highness, the enemy, this..." Yang Ponu pointed in the direction of the Song Army's camp in embarrassment.

"It's okay. After crossing the river, leave the two battalions of soldiers to cooperate with the cavalry of the Road Search Department to watch them. The army bypasses them and goes straight to Bianliang City!"

Li Yu noticed the intention of the Song army in the camp. Is this going to wait and see the direction of the wind, save himself, and surrender to the winner after the result is determined?
When the military order was issued, Li Yu took a team of carefully selected guards with loud voices to the front of the Song Army's camp. As the "enemy" approached the camp, the Song Army didn't even have the intention of shooting arrows, and watched Li Yu go to the maximum. The gate of the camp is less than ten feet away.

Waiting for a while, seeing that no general in the Song camp came out to answer, Li Yu thought for a moment, took out the edict of the empress dowager, the tiger talisman, and the jade seal of the Chuanguo obtained from Liaoyang, held it with one hand, raised it above his head, and shouted with sufficient skill:

"Following the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager alone, Xing Yishi, eliminating the faint emperor, the Great Song Tiger Talisman is here! The Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom is here! Destined to wait, keep the camp and don't move rashly. After the chaos is calmed down, there will be rewards for you! Soldiers are treated like Wu Jun, and those who retire will be given a hundred acres of fertile land, and those who have moved overseas will be given a thousand acres of land and concubines!"

After Li Yu shouted, the guards behind him immediately repeated what Li Yu said, and the rolling sound went straight through the camp.

In the big camp, the soldiers of the Song Army looked at each other in blank dismay, followed by discussions.

"The king of Wu said that he would share the land with us." "Is it really the Jade Seal of the Kingdom?" "I heard that the other party never defaults on the salary." "And the concubine?" "He has a tiger charm, we have to listen to him." "King Wu seems to be the destiny." "If you can't beat him, you can't die!"

Amidst the clamor, someone suddenly yelled.

"Long live King Wu!"

Song Ying was silent for a moment, followed by a burst of orderly shouts.

"Long live King Wu! Long live! Long live!"

In the tent at the back of the camp, General Song was fully dressed and was about to go out to talk to King Wu when he heard the voice of long live shouting suddenly, his footsteps froze, and his spirit quickly collapsed.

"Fly, fly the pigeon to report to the official, the general will do his best!"

Why is this Song Jun like Guo Jun in [-]?Li Yu listened to the shouts of Song Jun, smiled slightly, everything was under control, turned his horse's head, and returned to his army, leaving two battalions of soldiers to "watch" the hundreds of thousands of Song Jun who had already surrendered , The whole army bypassed the Song camp and went straight to Bianliang, twenty miles away.

Zhao Xu, who was furious in the arched hall of the imperial palace of Bianliang City, looked in shock at the guard soldiers who suddenly barged in: "What did you say!"

"Your Majesty, the pigeons in our army camp on the south bank of the Yellow River have passed the letter, and the Wu army has already crossed the Yellow River by force! And, and..." The forbidden soldiers stammered, with a look of fear on their faces.

Zeng Bu took a step forward, grabbed the guard's wrist, his eyes widened, and the bearded Lao Gao said, "And what, say it!"

"Besides, the king of Wu is holding the imperial edict and tiger amulet. Hundreds of thousands of our troops will surrender without a fight! King Wu has already led his army to attack Tokyo, and now, it is almost outside the city!" He didn't dare to look up at Zhao Xu's face.

As soon as this remark came out, all the ministers panicked and talked a lot.

"What, what!"

Zhao Xu's immature face was full of panic, his feet went limp, and he fell down on the dragon chair, bewildered, and murmured: "Surrender, surrender? Our hundreds of thousands of troops, surrendered? Didn't you mean Wu Is Ni not enough to be afraid of? Where did Wu Ni get the Tiger Talisman of the Edict?"

"Official? Official?" Zeng Bu called out twice in a deep voice.

"Oh, oh, Zeng Qing," Zhao Xu came back to his senses, looked at the calm and calm Zeng Bu, as if grasping at the last straw, and asked anxiously: "Zhen, what should I do, please Zeng Qing Teach me?"

"Officials, don't panic! There are humble officials in everything!" Zeng Bu rolled his eyes, stepped forward two steps, bowed and said, "Bianliang City is solid, King Wu...cough cough, it's not so easy for Wu Ni to get in! The officials don’t need to panic, as long as we hold the city firmly, hold back Wu Ni’s army, and issue an imperial decree to call the imperial guards from all over the country to join the king of Jingqin! Our Song Dynasty still has millions of troops, and there are also those who can fight well Western Army, why be afraid of a mere Wu Ni!"

"Ah, yes, defending the city! It's defending the city!" After listening to Zeng Bu's analysis, Zhao Xu seemed to have a backbone, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, smelled his mind, and hurriedly asked: "Did Zeng Qing say that?" Wrong, I haven't lost yet, I still have millions of troops, as long as I defend the city of Tokyo... Zeng Qing, the generals are not trustworthy, yet dare to surrender to Wu Ni! Who do you think will be entrusted with the important task of defending the city?"

All the ministers kept silent, it's fine to be brave on weekdays, but at this critical moment, no one is willing to be the first bird.

To defend the city, you have to go up the city wall!They themselves lied to the emperor on weekdays, saying that Wu Jun was not enough to fear, but you all know the true strength of Wu Jun. They heard that Wu Jun has a weapon that can shoot iron pellets weighing more than ten kilograms for several miles. It can also explode, which can be said to be a blow for miles!The Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo in the Liao Kingdom was destroyed by this kind of weapon. I heard that the city wall was blown down alive!
He took over the important task of defending the city and went up to the city wall. What if he was killed by the Wu army!
Zeng Bu looked at the faces of the ministers, sighed silently, could only "helplessly" cupped his hands and said: "Officials, I am a privy envoy with a little knowledge of military affairs. I am willing to shoulder the burden of defending the city!"

"Okay! Zeng Qing is really the pillar of the country!" Zhao Xu praised, and immediately agreed: "Since that's the case, I entrust you with the responsibility of defending the city, don't blame me!"

Zeng Bu bowed to the ground: "How dare I refuse to die!"

At noon, Li Yu led his army to the north of Bianliang City.

Immense!

Looking at Bianliang City with its gates closed in the telescope, Li Yu's face was a little embarrassed.

As the capital city, Bianliang's city defense facilities are incomparable to the Liaoyang City that Li Yu once broke. The city wall is fifteen feet high, and there are all kinds of towers, female walls, and urns. Basically all the ancient city guards The equipment is all ready. Seeing this, Li Yu knew that if he wanted to play ants attacking the city, he would have to pay an extraordinary price!

But it's such a strong city, decades later, Zhao Ji, that little bastard, is so fucking cowardly!Li Yu sighed with emotion, those golden soldiers don't have cannons, and if they want to break such a strong city with 10,000+ troops, go ahead and dream!But painter Zhao's father and son are cowards, so they just give it away!If not, wait for the Zhong family army and King Qin's army to arrive, at least they can keep the south of the Yellow River, right?

It can be seen that this old master's kind is really not good, to guard the country and fight the country, we have to come from the fourth!
"Your Highness, please show me how to attack Bianliang City."

The sword and shield soldiers of the auxiliary army lined up in front, and behind them were the main soldiers of the Shenji battalion of the Wu army, forming a large hollow formation, with artillery in the formation, and the musketeers of the road search department and the Khitan iron cavalry in the auxiliary army guarded the left and right sides. , After the army set up their formation, Yang Ponu rode his horse and came to ask for instructions.

Yang Ponu was full of confidence, and he was not afraid at all that the Song army would go out of the city to take advantage of the Wu army's unsteady footing to sneak attack. The Wu army's current formation was quite luxurious, and even the cavalry, which the Song army coveted, had been reduced to auxiliary units under his hands.

"How do you want to fight?"

"Hey," Yang Ponu sneered twice, and said maliciously: "Your Highness, among our auxiliary soldiers, there are quite a few Khitan, Bohai, and Xi people. At the end of the day, the general is thinking, why not send them to attack first?" City, test the city defense of Bianliang..."

By the way, consume the strength of these non-Han people.

"Nonsense!" Li Yu pretended to be angry and said: "You kill the embryo! There is a strict order in the early morning, regardless of the nationality in the army, all are robes. I see that your blood has rushed to the head! I will say this to you, and wait until the battle is over. , Take the Ten Armies Staff yourself!"

"Yes!" Yang Ponu cupped his hands depressed.

"I know what you're thinking, but this is a civil war, and you should strictly enforce military discipline! If you want to fight a happy battle, I will allow you to lead the troops to Liaodong and Goryeo in the spring of next year. Those Jurchens, Goryeo people, you can kill them all." Happy, I am not happy to kill the orphan!" After punishing Yang Ponu, Li Yu comforted him again.

"Hey, yes!" Yang Ponu smiled happily, leaned forward again, and asked, "Then we can only use cannons to forcibly destroy the city like Liaoyang! But our luggage is still on the north bank of the Yellow River, and we are crossing the river. There are not many, and there is no trench bridge ladder, so we have to wait for Xueshi Su and the others to transport the luggage to the front line."

"The last general thinks that it is better to besiege the city! Wait until the luggage arrives before attacking!"

"It should be like this!" Compassion is not in charge of soldiers. Faced with such a strong city, if you want to take it down, you will definitely pay some price. Fortunately, there are firearms pressing the formation. Unlike the real ants attacking the city, Li Yu can still afford some casualties: "Siege all directions, don't let the little emperor escape; also, wait for Gu to write a letter of persuasion, and shoot it in... Hey, what kind of moth are you playing?"

Just as he was talking, Li Yu suddenly found the second gate among the four gates of the North City through the binoculars. The New Suanzao Gate slowly opened. A man in armor rode a rough horse and stepped out of the city gate with a flag. The suspension bridge slowly opened. Putting it down, the man drove the nauseous horse across the moat, the suspension bridge rose again, and the man walked slowly towards Li Yu's army alone.

"The negotiator is here, but the little emperor knows how to find someone, and he came here." Li Yu laughed at himself and waved his hand: "Waiting here alone, let someone bring the messenger over."

After a short while, the Song envoy was led to Li Yu's horse. The Song envoy got off the horse, held the brocade box in his hand, bowed and said: "The last general will pay homage to the king of Wu."

"Excuse me." Li Yu rolled over and got off his horse with a smile on his face: "The little emperor knows how to choose people, but he sent you, brother-in-law, to be a lobbyist. Isn't he afraid that you will surrender to the enemy on the spot?"

"Your Highness was joking." Song Envoy is Li Yu's relative in this world, Zhang Dunli, the son-in-law of Princess Ji.

According to Gao Taotao, there are only two compatriots left with one mother, Zhao Hao and Princess Ji, so Li Yu is polite to her sister's husband.

But Zhang Dunli had a wry smile on his face: "The officials threatened the princess's life, so the last general dare not not come!"

"Hey, isn't this lonely nephew crazy?" Li Yu teased, and found Zhang Dunli's brocade box, opened it, took out the letter inside, and asked, "How is sister?"

"Thank you for your highness. The weather has been cold recently, and the princess accidentally contracted a cold. After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, she decocted the decoction and took the medicine. There is no serious problem." Zhang Dunli answered cautiously. Although Li Yu was polite, he was a sensible person, but he dared not Really get along like a brother-in-law.

Seeing this brother-in-law entered the capital and sat on the throne!
"The officials didn't want to negotiate a peace. Today, all the ministers in the court persuaded them, so they agreed to these conditions. The officials said that they hope that His Highness will withdraw as soon as possible after careful consideration. Otherwise, His Royal Highness may not be able to make peace with the king's army." Zhang Dunli After thinking about it, he said again.

This brother-in-law also has grievances against the little emperor, and what he said clearly meant putting eye drops on the little emperor!Looking at the conditions for withdrawing troops written in the letter, Li Yu really didn't believe that the little emperor could say threatening words.

Li Yu looked up at him, lowered his eyes, and continued to read the letter.

"The officials have said that if the King of Wu withdraws his troops, the officials are willing to follow the example of the Song and Liao. With the Yellow River as the boundary, the north of the Yellow River will belong to the King of Wu. The officials are also willing to recognize the King of Wu as the Son of Heaven, and are willing to follow the example of Song and Liao. For example, Nasui currency, a country of brothers."

"A joke! A country of brothers? Zhao Xu is the orphan's nephew! My nephew! The orphan and the first emperor are brothers of the same mother! They are his uncles if they don't rebel!" After reading the letter, Li Yu put it back in the brocade box In the meantime, he still returned it to Zhang Dunli, sneered and said, "Why, Zhao Xu still wants to raise his seniority?"

Pooh!Uncle is robbing your nephew of the throne openly, you really have the face to say that!Zhang Dunli lowered his head and curled his lips silently, sneered in his heart, but then he thought about it, no matter which of the uncle and nephew wins, the princess or the princess, just do your own shit!I was just doing a job as a messenger.

Li Yu said sternly again: "This is a civil war, not a war between countries. Go back and tell Zhao Xu that the Song army in the Yellow River camp has surrendered. How about the iron cavalry? Shanggu's army didn't flee at the wind, and now they are all surrendered! You tell him not to have delusions, recognize the situation, and surrender as soon as possible. Gu can swear by the Yellow River, guarantee his life, and make him king , so that he will grow old in peace and wealth, and have endless heirs. Whether he believes in it or not, he does it alone, not for his own selfishness, but for China! The Great Song Dynasty is just the beginning, Xixia, Dali, Tubo, Western Regions, No single one will be spared!"

Swear by the water of the Yellow River?Since Sima Yi, no one will believe this set!However, Zhang Dunli did not refute, nodded and agreed: "The general will go back and report to the officials what the king of Wu said is true. I hope the king will give the general some time. Don't attack the city for now, don't let me Han people My son wasted his life innocently."

Li Yu didn't want to attack the city now, so he responded immediately: "Okay, I promise you, you go back... forget it, you can't go back."

The situation at the head of the Bianliang city suddenly changed, the flags of the Song army were brought down, the weapons in the hands of the soldiers at the head of the city were thrown down the city wall, all the four gates of the north city were opened, and the suspension bridge was lowered, but no soldiers came out of the city.

On the top of the city, there was a sudden burst of neat shouts:

"Respectfully invite King Wu to enter the city!"

Hearing the shouts from Bianliang City behind him, Zhang Dunli's face suddenly tightened, and then he felt relieved.
