Only by being careful can you sail the ship of ten thousand years.
Qian Tongyu calculated over and over again, and sure enough, he got it right. This time the three families turned around, which indeed caused a lot of trouble, but it came and went as quickly as it came. It was completely extinguished in one night, and it did not have much impact on Cheng Dalei. On the contrary,
Cheng Dalei had a thorough military training.
The army pressed under Haojia City at night, and launched a general attack on Haojia City using land and water troops.
Qian Tongyu was looking forward to it. He did not expect the good news of the attack on Liangzhou City, but he did expect the army to attack the city.
After hearing the news, Qian Tongyu almost fell off his stool. He knew that Cheng Dalei was difficult to deal with, so he was cautious and anxious in the face of this battle. As he waited in Haojia City, his heart kept pounding.
Although he had been mentally prepared, he still did not expect Cheng Dalei to be so stubborn and violent. Before Qian Tongyu could figure out what was going on, the army was already pressing down on the city.
What about being addicted to wine and sex, and having no ambition... Qian Tongyu wondered if Sun Bieshan was blind. If Cheng Dalei was really addicted to wine and sex, how could the army mobilize so quickly?
Now Qian Tongyu is trapped in Haojia City and knows nothing about the outside news. However, it is estimated that the fate of Sunbie Mountain and Bai Kongji will not be too good. Now he will rely on the fortified city to hold on, otherwise he will be killed.
fall.
After Cheng Dalei tried to attack the city twice, he felt that it was a bit difficult. He ordered his soldiers to retreat and set up camp outside Haojia City. They set up battle formations but did not attack.
After daybreak, Qian Tongyu climbed up to the city tower and saw the numerous soldiers and horses outside the city, the most conspicuous of which was Cheng Dalei's tent.
"Prince Cheng, my subordinates have always obeyed your advice. Why did you raise an army to attack me and bring disaster to the people?"
Cheng Dalei heard Qian Tongyu's shouting and walked to the front of the two armies. He happened to hear this sentence: "Qian, stop talking nonsense. You collaborated with Bai Kongji and Sunbieshan to rebel. Now the matter has been exposed."
"Oh my, my subordinates are wronged." Qian Tongyu shouted: "My subordinates know nothing about what the prince said."
Cheng Dalei curled his lips and said, "I have wronged you by saying so. Well, then, you open the city gate and I will go into the city and ask for help."
"My subordinates dare not disobey the prince's orders." Qian Tongyu said: "But the prince's army is approaching the city. If I open the door, I am afraid that the prince's army will come and kill me."
"You are judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart." Cheng Dalei said: "You can ask me what my reputation is in the world. The most important thing is that I always keep my word and keep my promises."
"Of course, of course." Qian Tongyu said: "It would be better if the prince withdrew his army and entered the city alone. His subordinates would prepare a banquet and entertain Prince Cheng well."
The two of them were at the top of the city and at the bottom of the city, talking to each other, but they were pretending to be confused. They were already approaching the city, and their swords were at war, but they were still in the mood to talk nonsense every sentence.
It's not that Cheng Dalei can't defeat Haojia City, but the cost is too high. Besides, there is no need to fight to the death. Haojia City has no support, and if the city is surrounded by a circle and lacks follow-up support, it will only be a matter of time before the city is broken.
Qian Tongyu didn't necessarily have to fight to the end. He didn't have the courage to die together. The reason why he didn't surrender was simply because he didn't believe in Cheng Da Lei.
He had already made it clear that he was going to turn the other way. If this fell into the hands of Cheng Dalei, with Cheng Dalei's cruel character, he would be cut to pieces by him and end up with no burial.
But he also knew in his heart that there would be no good end if he persisted. But he had no idea how to deal with the aftermath. He just wanted to hold on for one more day.
Afterwards, the Qin Man who occupied Wuwei City rushed here. Zhao Zilong also captured Jincheng, arranged for people to take over, and led his troops to rush here. In this way, Cheng Dalei was the only one left, and he could not capture Haojia City.
After the city was broken, there were many things to deal with. Taking over the city, arranging prisoners, providing food and grass, and giving rewards based on merit... But Cheng Dalei was trapped in Haojia City, and he was at a loss for what to do.
"Master, let's take it by force. You give the order and the Manzi Army will be responsible for the general attack and capture Haojia City before dawn tomorrow." Qin Man said.
"The Barbarian Army has been cultivated with great difficulty. If we lose people, wouldn't you feel bad?" Cheng Dalei waved his hand: "If you can fight without bloodshed, don't sacrifice too much."
Qin Man could only suppress the fighting spirit in his heart and obey Cheng Dalei's arrangements.
When Haojia City can be broken depends on when Qian Tongyu surrenders. But there are many things to deal with in Jincheng and Wuwei City. They are so urgent that they cannot wait for a moment.
Cheng Dalei and Qian Tongyu wrote a letter of persuasion to surrender, and then used the big account as a temporary office. Cui Baiyu, and Yang Guozhong were all mobilized urgently.
Guan Yu took away a large number of military generals, but fortunately all the civilian officials stayed in Liangzhou. Cheng Dalei's manpower was sufficient to take over the two cities.
Thirty to fifty thousand people were captured, and many ordinary soldiers actually had no intention of resisting Cheng Dalei. Therefore, the prisoners of war were dealt with smoothly. The original organization was broken up and they were organized into various military camps.
Sun Bieshan died on the battlefield, and Bai Kongji was temporarily imprisoned for later treatment.
The most troublesome thing is their family members. However, Cheng Dalei is not a newbie, and he is experienced in handling these matters.
Some people were imprisoned and temporarily imprisoned. Some people were exiled from Liangzhou. In the current chaotic world, when people leave Liangzhou alone and have no luck, the word of death is waiting for them.
Some women and children were assigned to generals who had made meritorious service in this battle.
After Cheng Dalei's letter of persuasion to surrender was handed over, Qian Tongyu also replied with a letter. The words in the letter were sincere, saying that he was loyal to Cheng Dalei, but he was actually bewitched by Bai Kongji and Sunbieshan.
By now Cheng Dalei has found out clearly that the mastermind is Qian Tongyu.
The letter stated that it was asking Cheng Dalei for conditions and seeing how Cheng Dalei would deal with them after the surrender.
Cheng Dalei was merciful to the families of Sunbieshan and Bai Kongji, and he was just showing off to Sunbieshan.
What Qian Tongyu wants is to be able to properly arrange his family and not be harassed by soldiers. Even if he is under house arrest, he will have someone to support him.
Cheng Dalei refused directly. It would not hurt his family, but he had to demote his official position to the people and rely on his own efforts, just like the ordinary people in Liangzhou.
Qian Tongyu grew up in fine clothes and fine food, and the thought of having to work hard like an ordinary untouchable in the future was really more painful than killing him.
The two parties talked back and forth, and Cheng Dalei made another condition, allowing his family to leave Liangzhou.
Qian Tongyu was already a little tempted, but then he thought about it. In today's chaotic world, if you encounter bandits and robbers on the road, death is inevitable.
How did Song Bokang die? Qian Tongyu remembers it clearly.
Finally, he agreed to demote himself to the people, opened the city gate, knelt at the city gate to welcome Cheng Dalei into the city.
