my wife is mulan

They met with Zhao Junsheng at the first time, and because they were bumpy and tired all the way, Zhao Junsheng asked them to rest first.

After dinner, Zhao Junsheng summoned the ministers accompanying him to discuss matters.

"According to the information we have collected so far, there are 8000 Liu Song troops in the entire Shu region, but most of them are scattered in various places or sent out to quell and suppress the refugee rebellion. Chengdu, the capital of the Shu region, has only 1000 defenders. , Mianzhu only has [-] people, I would like to ask you, how will we fight this battle next?"

The accompanying ministers stood up and expressed their ideas one by one. Some people advocated to fight fast, to kill the city of Chengdu at the fastest speed, and then spread out after breaking through Chengdu.

There are also people who advocate attacking the periphery of Chengdu Mansion first, attacking from the outside to the inside, and after taking all the territory in Bashu, they can finally attack Chengdu Mansion.

Some people even advocated taking the main traffic road into Sichuan as quickly as possible, guarding the throat, and then rushing directly to Chengdu Mansion to encircle and fight for aid.

Zhao Junsheng thought about it comprehensively. In view of the current shortage of troops, he temporarily decided to attack the Chengdu Mansion as quickly as possible, and use the tactic of encircling the point to fight for reinforcements to solve Liu Song's military strength in Shu, so that there is no need to storm the Chengdu Mansion. , There is no need to divide troops to attack the cities of Shu, just surround Chengdu, and Liu Song troops from all over Sichuan and Shu will come to help.

If the Southern Dynasties wanted to send troops to reinforce Sichuan and Shu, the only way to do so was by water, and they had to send troops from Jiankang. There were no troops in other places, but the troops were scattered and difficult to concentrate. Therefore, the time required to send troops from Jiankang to reinforce Sichuan and Shu It's not just a day or two. It will take at least two months from preparing food and grass to gathering troops and marching until entering Shu.

During these two months, Zhao Junsheng had enough time to win all of Sichuan and Shu, and even further expand the results.

Thinking about the next strategic deployment, Zhao Junsheng asked, "National Division, where is the first batch of troops dispatched from Guanzhong now? How many are there?"

"Return to Your Majesty, they should have entered the border of Hanzhong. There are about 2000 people in the first batch!"

Zhao Junsheng looked at the map and thought about it, and then issued an order: "Pass down the order, and order the various batches of troops drawn from Guanzhong to gather in naturalization! Send an order to Nanzheng and order Lu Shuang to go to naturalization to receive them. The horses are gathering and training, waiting for my order! Send an order to Lu Xuan, and the follow-up food and grass must keep up!"

According to Zhao Junsheng, it is more than enough to take the whole of Sichuan with the current force. The key is to prevent the counterattack of the Southern Dynasty. All the troops transferred from Guanzhong were naturalized and concentrated, and Lu Shuang led the training. Once the signs of the Southern Dynasty's army marching westward were found, Lu Shuang led the troops to go south to Baqu, and then sent the army east to Badong to block the westward Southern Dynasty army. .

Early the next morning, Zhao Junsheng led his troops to the city of Fu County again. A large number of siege equipment was carried out, and thousands of siege soldiers were ready to go and rush to the city wall at any time.

Zhao Junsheng was riding on horseback, and the sun had already risen from the horizon. In this kind of weather, once the sun rises, the temperature will directly soar.

Zhao Junsheng couldn't wait any longer, and ordered: "Order the siege echelons, give them a moment to prepare, and prepare to attack the city after a moment!"

After the order was conveyed, a long series of horns sounded, and the more than [-] Liangzhou garrison troops began to prepare for the siege. Some people checked their equipment, some checked the siege equipment, and some made psychological adjustments.

Seeing this posture, all the defenders on the tower in Fu county were going crazy, but the county magistrate still didn't give the order to surrender.

Just when Master Bo was about to kill the county magistrate with a knife, the county magistrate finally gave an order: "Forget it, the matter has come to an end, sticking to it is indeed the way of self-destruction! Everyone, come down with me, put down your weapons, open the city gate and surrender!"

A moment passed quickly, and when Zhao Junsheng was about to order the attack, the city gate opened, some officials came out with the defenders, and they threw weapons at the gate of the city.

"Your Majesty, the defenders of Fu County have surrendered!"

Zhao Junsheng put down his hands and ordered: "Stop attacking the city, Nie Feihu, you take people to receive the surrendered soldiers, and enter the city to take over the defense of the city!"

Nie Feihu was rather disappointed. He hated these generals and defenders for their lack of backbone. If he persisted for a while, he would be able to lead his troops to attack and break through the city. The army simply ruined his good deed.

From Fu County to Mianzhu, there was basically no obstruction, and the distance was not too long. Zhao Junsheng ordered Yang Lie to lead [-] cavalry straight to Mianzhu at the fastest speed.

Yang Lie took the lead and ordered [-] cavalry, led by Jiang Hui, a spy in black, to attack Mianzhu as quickly as possible.

Although Liu Songjun in Mianzhu had already learned that Fu County had been approached by the Qianjun soldiers, he did not expect the Qianjun to come so quickly, and was killed by the Qianjun in less than two days.

Mianzhu officials and defenders have never seen such a huge number of cavalry. In the eyes of these Sichuan and Shu officials and defenders who have never seen many cavalry in their lives, three thousand cavalry is already an astronomical figure. The loud noise they made when they came running scared them to the ground.

When Yang Lie arrived at Mianzhu City with [-] cavalry, the banner of the Southern Dynasty on the top of the city had been taken down, and soon the city gate was opened, and the officials led the defenders out of the city to surrender.

Yang Lie didn't expect these Liu Song defenders to be so obedient this time, which was beyond his expectation, so he immediately sent people to receive the captives and the city defense, and then sent people to report the situation to Zhao Junsheng.

Chapter 981

It was beyond Zhao Junsheng's expectation that Mianzhu voluntarily surrendered in such a short period of time. When he arrived with his troops the next day, the city was in order, and the residents didn't seem too scared except for a little nervousness.

Mianzhu City is not big, but it is also one of the important gateways to the north of Chengdu Mansion. After taking this city, there will be no barriers to the north of Chengdu Mansion.

The marching speed of the Qianjun was so fast that just after the Chengdu government received the news, General Yang Lie of the Qianjun led [-] cavalry to the city, and the defenders closed the city gate in a panic.

When Liu Yu, the governor of Yizhou, rushed to the top of the city tower and looked outside the city, his expression changed drastically and he gasped.

I saw the army outside the city with a clear banner, a lot of armored battles, and the armor was cold. The neighing of war horses came to my ears, and the air of killing came to my face.

Liu Daoxi, the prefect of Zitong, escaped from Zitong City all the way, and it took only half a day to arrive in Chengdu. After meeting Liu Yu, he had just reported the news of the large-scale invasion of the Qian army to Liu Yu. To the city of Chengdu.

Both Liu Yu and Liu Daoxi were taken aback, and they didn't know it was true until they went up to the tower and saw the voice of the Qianjun cavalry with their own eyes.

Liu Yu turned to look at Liu Daoxi and said angrily, "Liu Daoxi, why did the Qianjun come so fast? You rushed to them, and they arrived just as soon as they roared?"

Liu Daoxi hastily bowed and saluted, "Calm down the governor's anger. When the officer escaped from Zitong City, he was penniless and his entourage was also separated. He came here after suffering all the way. I really didn't expect the army to come here so quickly." The lower official speculates that Fucheng, Mianzhu and other cities must have not resisted, otherwise the army would not have come so quickly!"

Liu Yu thought about it for a while, and immediately ordered, "The Qian army has just arrived. I judge that their strength is good, the food and grass are not enough, and they lack siege equipment. Now the only way to deal with this vanguard is to prevent the Qian army from following up before a large number of troops enter Sichuan." Soldiers and horses enter Sichuan! Come, send an order to the troops of the counties in Shu, and tell the leading generals to ignore the refugees, and bring troops and horses to reinforce Chengdu City. As long as Chengdu City is defended, the refugees will not be a problem!"

The magistrate was quite worried, "Master, the rioters everywhere should not be underestimated. Those people are already hungry and crazy, and they can do anything. If the rebellion is not put down as soon as possible, there will be endless troubles!"

Liu Yu said angrily, "When the follow-up brigade of the Gan army enters Sichuan, we won't even have any future troubles. We can only hand over the land of Sichuan and Shu to the people of Qian! What are you doing in a daze? Send an order before sealing the way out!"

The orderly next to him quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes!"

Liu Yu observed the cavalry cavalry galloping and cruising outside the city, and ordered, "These cavalry cavalry have just arrived and are not familiar with the surrounding situation, and they don't have siege equipment. , I will quickly deploy the city defense strategy!

Pass down the order and divide all the people into four departments, each of which will go up the city wall for four hours in turn, and the remaining one will be responsible for patrolling the sentries and public security in the city, and let the arresters and servants of the government offices assist!

Then ordered to gather all the young and strong people over the age of 16 and under the age of 30 in the whole city, divide them into three parts, assist the soldiers to defend the city, be responsible for carrying the supplies for the defense of the city, and distribute weapons to them when necessary!

The few of us are also assigned tasks. Each of us takes turns to be on duty on the city wall for two hours. We are not allowed to go down the city wall until we are on duty, and we are not allowed to rest and doze off. Anyone who neglects their duties will be severely punished! "

Several officials bowed and bowed, "No!"

Yang Lie outside Chengdu had already received Zhao Junsheng's order not to completely surround Chengdu, otherwise the officials in Chengdu would not be able to ask for help from other troops stationed in Shu.

According to Zhao Junsheng's deployment and orders, Yang Lie only left [-] cavalry guards outside Chengdu. Even so, the [-] defenders in Chengdu did not dare to go out to fight, so Yang Lie sent the remaining [-] cavalry to go around. Several counties went around and did not do anything at all. Those county officials who were empty of troops were so frightened that they obediently surrendered.

Zhao Junsheng led his army to arrive outside Chengdu two days later. It was because he had arranged the affairs of Fucheng, Mianyang and other cities properly, which delayed a lot of time, otherwise he would have rushed to Chengdu with his army one day earlier.

"Minister Yang Lie pays homage to Your Majesty!" Yang Lie greeted Zhao Junsheng's army outside the Qianjun camp outside Chengdu.

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand, "Excuse me, let's talk about it after entering the camp!"

"Yes, Your Majesty please!"

The army slowly entered the camp, and the infantry and cavalry were allocated camps and tents under the arrangement of officials and generals.

The accompanying ministers, ministers and soldiers were rather tired, Zhao Junsheng arranged for them to rest, and invited Yang Lie to ask about the situation of Chengdu and the surrounding small towns.

Yang Lie replied, "It is true that there are only [-] defenders in Chengdu, but in the past two days they have forcibly recruited [-] young and strong people from among the people in the city to help defend the city! Moreover, they have strengthened the city defenses, increased sentry posts and guards." Patrolling troops, a large amount of supplies for defending the city were carried up and down the city wall!

Under the deterrence of our army, the four surrounding counties surrendered one after another, with a total of 500 surrendered troops!In addition, according to His Majesty's will, I have ordered craftsmen and dry wood to be recruited from these counties, and they will arrive in the camp soon! "

The reason why Zhao Junsheng ordered the recruitment of craftsmen was to build siege equipment to attack the city, and the collection of dry wood was to prepare materials for the construction of siege equipment.

There is no shortage of mountains and forests around Chengdu, and it is easy to cut down wood, but the siege equipment made of wet wood is really not conducive to siege, it is heavy and inflexible, and difficult to operate. It is simply miserable for the soldiers of the equipment.
