One thousand and eighteen chapters lonely minister
"Absurd!" Xiao Shilian reached out and slapped the table and said angrily, "Someone asked you to persuade you to surrender, not to declare a challenge! You are really brave!"
Hou, who was standing in front of him, said in a deep voice: "General, the general situation is like this, and the stubborn resisters will just turn into powder. If we continue to speak in a low voice now, if these people join our ranks in the future, won't they want to ride on our heads?"
I want to show off my power and show off my power at this time to tell them that they have no choice!"
Xiao Shilian frowned. Hou was right. Li Xingchen's attack in Nanchen was going so smoothly. A large number of Nanchen civil and military officials poured in to join this group. If they could not be made aware of their
Since their position was so precious, there was no way to guarantee their loyalty to Nan Chen.
Before Xiao Shilian could speak, a scout rushed in quickly: "General Qi, Chen Ren's flag brigade was spotted in the direction of Fuchuan. The number should be about 5,000. In addition, reinforcements seem to be coming from the direction of Xiangjun."
.”
The expressions of the generals present were all moved. Tang Xiao said in a deep voice: "Whose flag is it? Have you ever found out clearly?"
"It seems that there are Yue people from the Lingnan tribe, but there are also Chen soldiers and horses among them, with different flags." The scout said helplessly, obviously they were not familiar with the specific situation in Lingnan.
Xiao Shilian frowned, and he knew without thinking that these must be the troops mobilized by Shen Jungao, the Pingyue Zhonglang. Maybe these troops are not elite, and there are even barbarians mixed among them, but if they really insist on guarding this strict pass
, that would be a problem
More importantly, now that reinforcements have arrived, will Fu still consider surrender?
"Without further delay, send out all the scouts, intercept and kill the enemy's messengers along the way, and the army will quickly advance to Yanguan City!" Xiao Shilian said urgently, "Get ready to attack the city!"
"Report!" Another scout rushed in, "General, the general's flag with the word 'Shen' is raised on the top of Yanguan City. It should be Pingyue Zhonglang General Shen Jungao!"
This time, Tang Xiao, Li Xun and others could not sit still. They immediately raised their hands and said, "General, we can't wait any longer. Get ready for war."
As soon as Shen Jungao arrived with reinforcements, it was obvious that it no longer mattered what Fu and the original strict guard thought. As he spoke, everyone looked at Hou next to him with a look of rejoicing on his face, and couldn't help but sigh, this guy is still
You are really lucky. If he hadn't run away after saying harsh words, he might have become a prisoner of Shen Jungao now. This Mr. Shen is famous for being decisive, and of course he is not as easy to talk to as Fu.
Xiao Shilian narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Yanguan in the distance. Shen Jungao and Fu, since you want to be a lonely minister, then I will help you.
Li Xun and others behind him also had excited looks on their faces. Xiao Shilian led an army of 20,000 to attack Lingnan. Except for Tang Xiao's troops, the rest were Li Xun and Luo Yi's troops. Among these troops,
Some of them were soldiers who surrendered from the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and some were newly recruited soldiers of the Shu Han Dynasty. They were all people who had no merit and even had some sins. Therefore, they were eager to have a battle with the Nanchen army in order to make achievements.
If the Nanchen army really surrendered like Yuzhang County and Xunyang County, then everyone would have nothing to fight for. Therefore, now that Shen Jungao and Fu want to fight, of course they are gearing up.
Shen Jungao came all the way from Guangzhou, and of course he also tried his best to mobilize the troops and horses that Lingnan could mobilize.
In any case, Lingnan is also the land of Longxing in Nanchen. There are a large number of Yue and other tribes loyal to Nanchen, and the leader of these tribes is the famous Mrs. Xian.
Mrs. Xian's name is Xian Ying. She is now over sixty years old. She is committed to the stability and prosperity of Lingnan. It can be said that the current scene of Lingnan is inseparably linked to Mrs. Xian, and Nanchen also named Mrs. Xian as Zhonglang.
General, Mrs. Shilong.
Historically, after the fall of Nanchen, the various ethnic groups in Lingnan wanted to take the opportunity to rebel against the Sui Dynasty and establish themselves. In order to prevent the Sui army from attacking, Mrs. Xian relied on her personal prestige to coordinate and appease Lingnan, and suppressed this wave of rebellion.
This was also greatly appreciated. Mrs. Xian's spirit of pursuing peace, avoiding war and reunifying China was also highly praised and bestowed upon by successive dynasties, and she was honored as the "Mother of Lingnan". Since the founding of New China, Premier Zhou even called her "The Holy Mother of Lingnan".
He was praised as the first heroine.
But Mrs. Xian, who had a great reputation in Lingnan, gave Shen Jungao a headache. In fact, he mainly relied on the local Baiyue to mobilize his troops, and Mrs. Xian didn't seem to praise Shen Jungao's behavior of leading troops to resist. Therefore, Shen Jungao finally
Only the tribes closest to the Nanchen court could be mobilized, otherwise all the Baiyue troops would have to be mobilized, at least 40,000 to 50,000 people.
However, as the war was approaching, Shen Jungao could not think about what Mrs. Xian was thinking, and could only try to gather as many troops as possible towards Yanguan.
We drove slowly and hurriedly all the way, and finally saw that the flag on the top of the city was still Nanchen's, which made Shen Jungao breathe a sigh of relief.
Not noticing the strange looks from Fu Zijiang, Shen Jungao said in a deep voice: "The troops led by Xiao Shilian should only be about 20,000, and we can gather nearly 30,000 troops in three days. We can definitely go out of the city to fight.
As long as we seize the Xiang River ferry from Xiao Shilian, we can prevent his navy from entering the Li River along the Ling Canal."
Fu suddenly perked up. To be honest, Hou's threat was still echoing in his ears. It was impossible to say that he didn't care at all. To be honest, if Shen Jungao hadn't arrived so quickly, I'm afraid Fu would have really had to fight with the people below.
Let's discuss what to do.
"Mr. Fu, the national crisis is approaching, and we must overcome it together." Shen Jungao said through gritted teeth.
Fu nodded solemnly, feeling that his previous thoughts were really shameful.
The wind was blowing their sleeves, and the two people stood on the top of the city and looked at each other. The country was in danger, and they had to use their actual actions to prove who was the loyal minister!
But Shen Jungao and Fu didn't know it. Just when they made up their minds, at the entrance of the upper city trail not far away, several strict guards looked at each other with complicated expressions. One of them really couldn't help it.
, lowered his voice and said: "With those Baiyue people who even Mrs. Xian can't defeat, is it reliable?"
"And I heard that Mrs. Xian seems unwilling to follow Mr. Shen."
"Listen, this is just a mob of 30,000 people, and they are planning to go out of the city to invite a fight. They are just two literati, and they don't care who is facing them. Xiao Shilian or Li Xun, which one is easy to mess with? These guys
There has been almost no decent war since we came out of Shu, so we are just waiting to be beaten in our teeth as a sacrifice." (To be continued)
