Chapter 384 The Strategy of the Strongest Staff Group
The movement of the figure moving forward, the sound of shaking iron chains, the armor on Tuoba Zongjue's body has been removed, and his arms are thickly attached to his body He was bound several times with iron chains, his mouth was stuffed with socks, and his expression was distorted.
On the way to the government office, you can see the corpses of Tuoba soldiers, Fushan cavalry, and trekking cavalry everywhere being thrown into carts and taken away by Xia soldiers.
Groups of prisoners knelt on both sides of the bluestone road outside the government office. When they saw Tuoba Zong approaching, they all raised their faces, watching each other pass by in numbness and pain.
Someone shouted in Tuoba language: "General, we can't surrender!"
"We would rather die than surrender!"
"I don't want to die...General...my child is about to be born."
Weeping words and high-pitched voices who would rather die than surrender were mixed. rang in Tuoba Zongjue's ears, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at these captured tribesmen.
It should be said that as a general, he had no face to see them.
He was pushed into the government office by several muscular soldiers. A Xia general in silver armor and white robes looked over and waved, "Your Majesty is free at this time, take him in."
Tuoba Zongjue recognized him. After the Xia army broke through the city, he and his soldiers broke out from the city wall. He led the Fushan and Kewa armies to continue fighting in the streets with the Xia army for two days. In the end, he was defeated and captured. This is General Zhao in white robes and silver armor.
At first, I didn’t think that the opponent’s martial arts skills were very high, but when he knocked down the war horse of a female general, the general, who was called General Zhao by the soldiers, suddenly improved his martial arts skills. A silver spear made him look like a peach blossom. He was beaten in a flurry in a few rounds, and the Fushan soldiers who rushed over were knocked to the ground almost one by one.
And he was shot down by the opponent in the end, and his soldiers rushed over, tied him up, and sent him here.
The Emperor of the Xia Kingdom is here...
Tuoba Zong recovered his thoughts and followed the blood stains on the ground into the government office. Only after entering here did he know that the Emperor of the Xia Kingdom There are so many generals.
A burly man wearing a big cloak and silver armor; a mighty general wearing a golden crown and long feathers, and a beast-swallowing chain armor; a fat man with a ferocious stature, holding a serrated knife; a man wearing a lion helmet, white armor, and white robes. General, the female general who was knocked down by him before was also here, and there were two people beside him, who should also be senior generals in the army.
The Xia general who had fought with him on the city wall was sitting not far away, taking off his robe and letting his soldiers bandage his injuries.
On the other side, there are two veterans, sitting majestically at the top on the left, looking like military commanders.
'This is still the Eastern Route Army of the Emperor of Xia...'
Tuoba Zongjue felt that Tuoba Kui had many tribal warriors around him, and they were well-equipped to compare with the Emperor of Xia. , it’s so small that it pales into comparison.
He was brought to the court, and Zhao Yun ignored him and walked to Ma Chao. He sat next to his wife Ma Yunlu. Ma Chao glared at him, probably because he didn't take good care of his sister.
Xiang Yu and Lu Bu only glanced at the prisoners standing in the middle, then sat on the big chairs, closing their eyes to rest.
In the court, Li Jue’s voice was cursing. He asked the soldiers to bandage the wounds and came over with his bare upper body, “Aren’t you pretty good at fighting? You thought I’d be defeated. The Xiliang army on the top of the city. Will it fade away? "
Zong Jue understood what he said, but he was too lazy to speak because something was stuffed in his mouth.
“Let’s talk!”
Li Jue suddenly kicked out Tuoba Zongjue's knees, knocking him down to his knees. He shouted to Ma Yunlu, who was on Ma Chao and Zhao Yun's side: "I've avenged you, sister Yunlu!" "
Ma Chao and Zhao Yun both looked over. Ma Yunlu was also tough. He pulled out a dagger and threw it at him: "It's better to kill him directly."
"How dare I, Your Majesty? No questions asked!"
Li Jue threw the dagger back, and Zhao Yun caught it casually, and when he put it back into his wife's hand, a sound came from the front door of the court, "What dare you?"
The soldiers on duty outside straightened their backs and banged their halberds on the ground.
Tuoba Zongjue knelt on the ground. He turned around and saw four figures striding in. The man in the middle was tall, much taller than Emperor Tuoba Kui of Liang Dynasty. He was wearing a dark-colored chain armor with double-shouldered beasts. Dragging a white cloak, Long Tinghu walked past him.
There was also a smiling scribe and two guards, one fat and one burly.
"Tuoba Zongjue?"
Su Chen walked to the front desk and sat down. After Xu Chu and Dian Wei stood still, he raised his hand to let the guard The two soldiers took out the socks from each other's mouth and untied the chains.
Seeing Su Chen's face, Tuoba Zongjue knew that the other person was much younger than Tuoba Kui, but he did not expect that he would be so young.
However, as a clan member of the Liang Kingdom, he did not want to be humbled. After standing up, he raised his chin and said casually: "It's me." He turned his face to one side.
Then, Li Jue corrected him and went back: "Look at my emperor talking!"
Tuoba Zongjue glanced over, then looked at Su Chen: "What do you want to ask? Just ask, it's my business to answer or not. Anyway, I have been captured by you, and I just want to die."
"I have conquered the Three Kingdoms, and you are the only one I admire, and I like you the most. Only a virtuous person." Su Chen was quite satisfied with Tuoba Zongjue's performance on the city wall, but unfortunately he also understood that it was impossible for such a person to surrender to him.
"I understand that I can't convince you. After all, you are a general of the Liang clan. I will definitely not betray your ancestors..."
Su Chen looked at him, was silent for a moment, and then raised his hand: "Succeed General Tuoba!"
Two soldiers came over, Tuoba Zongjue's face was as usual, and he did not show any timid expression when he was about to die. Instead, he used the etiquette of the Central Plains and bowed heavily to the young emperor at the head of the throne: "Thank you, Emperor Xia, for your success!"
After saying that, he turned around and was escorted out of the court by two soldiers.
"It's a pity. This kind of person really makes people love and hate me. But I don't like it when I die generously. I might as well compromise and find a chance to escape."
"However, In that case, Your Majesty will not let him surrender." Jia Xu bluntly pointed out the loopholes in Su Chen's words.
"Well, I just felt it. There is no need for the Taiwei to point it out. By the way, Tuoba Zongjue's body will be sent back to the Western Capital of Liang Kingdom and returned to Tuoba Kui."
Su Chen stood up with a smile and ordered the generals in the court to rest for a day in Taikang City before continuing their march. The Xiliang Army stayed behind to rest, with the Youyan Army as the main force and Tieya's 37,000 cavalry as the vanguard. A raid on the Western Capital of Daliang. After waiting for explanation, Su Chen left with Dian Wei and Xu Chu. Ma Chao turned around and saw Pang De sitting silently on his seat with no intention of getting up, "Ling Ming, what's wrong?"
"Thinking of what His Majesty said just now."
Hearing this, Ma Dai laughed heartily: "Seeing Tuoba Zongjue, does it remind you of the scene when you were captured by Guan Junhou?"
"Can you not mention this matter?"
Pang De's old face turned slightly red and turned to one side: "We can't let Cao Cao look down on me and wait for the Xiliang people to defeat and rebel."
"Ling Ming ." There was no one else in the courtroom. Ma Chao stood at the door and turned his head slightly, his eyes fixed on Pang De. "Do you still hate me now?"
Pang De was silent for a long time and nodded. , and then shook his head.
……
At the same time, in the back hall of the government office, Su Chen walked into the backyard, where the ancestral coffin was parked. After being frustrated in the military camp for a long time, Taoist Li was finally able to leisurely practice health-building boxing in the courtyard.
Wu Zixun was also beside him, following suitably.
After Su Chen came over, he raised his hands without letting the two of them greet him, turned around and walked straight into the carriage. Dian Wei and Xu Chu no longer had to guard them, so they watched Taoist Li doing this set of fists with wide eyes.
“Can you hit someone?” Xu Chu asked angrily.
Daoshi Li shook his head as he moved.
"That's a good practice."
Xu Chu suddenly lost interest and pulled Dian and Wei to sit under the eaves, arm in arm. He also found two jars of strong wine from the house and drank freely, but Dian and Wei There was little drinking, mostly Xu Chu was drinking.
On one side of the carriage, the fragrance floats out of the window.
The incense sticks were placed in the incense burner. Su Chen knelt down on the futon and bowed devoutly. After the ceremony, he looked at the spiritual statue that was gradually resurrecting on the altar table, and then laid down Taikang, and then pointed his sword at the beam. Xidu’s plan was informed to all the emperors.
As soon as the words came out, the altar table shook like a mountain. All the spirits laughed, greeted each other, and then spoke to Su Chen.
"The fight was too slow." A majestic voice sounded from Zhao Kuangyin's spiritual tablet: "It took so long for two groups of troops to get here. If it were me back then, I would have almost defeated the entire territory!"
"Back then I would have defeated the entire territory!" Being here to support my brother proves that my brother is not lying!" Zhao Kuangyi spoke up and flattered him at the right time.
“How can the words of a man who was beaten by the Liao Kingdom run away faster than the cavalry can be trusted?” Ming Taizu’s spiritual throne jumped out of grooves: “Let’s talk about the Liang Kingdom. , We have seen the map before, the western capital of Liang Kingdom is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even though Taikang City has been defeated for so long, the western capital may be even harder to defeat."
The spiritual throne of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty floated in blue smoke, and Li Shimin floated. He rubbed his chin and beard in mid-air, "Zhu Laoba, in such a small place, do you think it is as easy to defend and difficult to attack as the Kingdom of Abundance?"
"What is Taizong's advice?" Speaking of fighting, Liu Yubi said Everyone is eager, "But it's a fraud that will lead the snake out of its hole!"
"No, the food in the western capital of Liang Kingdom must be more abundant than that in the army. If I were the Emperor of Liang, I would only be able to defend and wait for the food to be exhausted." Li Shimin crossed his arms and looked at the small map hanging on the wall of the compartment.
This was specially drawn by Su Chen, and was used to put it here for the emperors to take a look at and use each other's troops to deduce.
Suddenly laughter came from Genghis Khan's memorial tablet: "Haha, why bother to pretend defeat, kill thousands of herdsmen, leave them for two days, and then throw their corpses into the city with catapults."
Besides, Zhu Di said: "Sure enough, the Mongolian Tatars are still ruthless."
"You men have more experience in fighting, so I won't get involved." Wu Zetian's spirit shrank back.
As for Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty Li Longji and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty Liu Xie, they had nothing to say, but they still looked like they were thinking hard, making people think that they were also thinking.
Cao Cao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly floated out of his spiritual position and clicked his finger on the map.
“At this time of year, there is abundant rain, so the river in the western capital of Liang State can be used.”
After Cao Cao reminded him, Li Shimin’s eyes lit up: “People in Liang State think that mountains and rivers serve as screens. , but I didn’t expect that the big river that I relied on was the way to break the situation.”
“Broken rivers, stored floods, and flooded most of the Liang Kingdom!” Many of them were emperors and fought for a lifetime, maybe once. I didn't think of it at first, but after being reminded by Cao Cao and Li Shimin's words, their words suddenly rang out.
"Haha, King Wei still has experience. Is this how the water flooded Xiapi back then?"
"Why didn't I think of this river just now!"
"It became this river. , defeat this river!"
"There is a lot of rain in May, not to mention that this river is a big river, and the river will never stop flowing. Once the water accumulates, the downstream will be blocked!" At this time, Zhu Wen also came to join in the fun, and his vicious thoughts were more than usual. There are many emperors, "but Changsheng must prevent the flood from rushing to his army, or the flood goes directly downstream, but Liangdu only suffers a little bit."
Su Chen frowned: "Then how to solve it?"
"Stupid, a dam has been built downstream to store water. If the water level in the middle section does not drop, the flood will naturally fill up the middle section of the river embankment and reach the beam."
The hearse is swaying. , one by one, the spirit figures excitedly expressed their opinions, which were gradually absorbed by Su Chen, and then he sorted it out. In order to feel at ease, he also went to find Jia Xu's plan, and the latter wrote a pen on the paper. The word 'water'. ,
Obviously, Su Chen was reminded to use water attack.
"Immediately send an order to the West Route Army to build a dike to the north of the Guyou River to cut off the water!"
Soon after, Su Chen sent out his commanding cavalry and galloped north.
