Things developed as Liu Zhixing expected, and every step was correct.
Xiong Wuwo is like a guard dog, guarding Shanhaiguan. When the Han army was in the preparation stage, he sent someone to inform the court, stated his interests and requested troops.
After the Han army sent troops, he wrote to the court one after another. Although the court did not allow him to send troops, the internal quarrel was a mess.
Simply and crudely divided into two groups. Send out troops.
Just watch from the sidelines.
Each has his own reason.
The reason for sending troops is very simple, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold.
Those who sit on the sidelines think that. It is not yet known whether Meng Yuan will perish or not. With Xiong Wuwu's ability, it is more than enough to defend Shanhaiguan, but he wants to cause substantial harm to Han.
Is he worthy?
Sending troops means not sending troops.
If Wu Nian is angry, defend in the north and attack in the south. Didn’t it mean that he failed to put out the fire and was burned by the fire instead?
cannot.
cannot.
The two factions are fairly evenly matched.
But when the Han envoys arrived in Chudu, the matter was settled. Chen Kun, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, completed his task very well.
The Chu court sent a special envoy to Shanhaiguan and ordered Xiong Wuwo not to send troops to "friendly countries" to prevent the two countries from becoming hostile.
And clearly tell Xiong Wuwu that if you send troops. Regardless of victory or defeat, the family must be affected.
in this way. The southern part of Han State can sit back and relax.
And all Liu Zhixing paid was treasures, Dongzhu, ginseng, deer antlers, furs and other items. These things are very valuable, but it depends on when.
Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times.
In the battle between the two countries, the most important thing is supplies. It's grain, iron, leather, war horses, and cloth. The rest is unimportant.
If Xiong Wuwo sends troops to Shanhaiguan, although Xiong Wuwo is unlikely to cause substantial harm to the Han army. But the military supplies that the Han army needed to pay were also huge.
Send some treasures to stabilize Chu State.
This deal is really worth it.
Shanhaiguan.
The banner with the word "Chu" is hung on the city gate tower, flying in the wind. The garrison who closed the gate was tall and strong, with a resolute look on his face. He wore strong armor and was very powerful.
Xiong Wuwo's general's mansion, in the hall.
Xiong Wuwo was wearing a white robe and sitting on the Taishi chair. Below are his generals. Xiong Wuwo's face was like the bottom of a pot, completely black.
His broad hands grasped the armrests of the Grand Master's chair tightly, and veins popped out on the backs of his hands.
There was a "pop" sound. Xiong Wuwo slapped the coffee table, stood up suddenly, and cursed: "Insects. A bunch of insects."
"In order to restrain me, I was not allowed to send troops. They also threatened me with my family. Am I, Xiong Wu, fighting for myself? Or not for Huang Chu? Those group of insects."
Say it. Xiong Wuwo was still not relieved, his waist sank, he grabbed the coffee table with both hands, raised it above his head, and dropped it heavily to the ground.
There was a "click". The coffee table was shattered on the floor.
Xiong Wuwo's generals either sighed or shook their heads.
The hall was filled with an aura of decadence.
Beigong Boyu sighed, raised his head and said to Xiong Wuwo: "General, the matter is over. It is useless to be angry, and it will hurt the body. Besides, Meng Yuan has the help of the Slavs, even without us, the country may not be destroyed. .”
"Wu Nian is now forty years old. How many more years do he have left to live?"
"As long as Meng Yuan persists for a few more years, we will persist for a few more years. The Slavs will hinder it."
"You can survive Wu Nian to death."
Linghuyu echoed from the side: "That's what General Beigong said. General. The Han Kingdom was established by Wu Nian. As long as he dies, the Han Kingdom will have no strength."
Everyone also tried to persuade him.
Xiong Wuwo opened his mouth and let out a violent gasp. After adjusting his breathing, he smiled bitterly and sat back.
This was something they had discussed privately before.
It is better to pin your hopes on Wu Nian's death than to pin your hopes on Wu Nian's death soon.
When Wu was twenty years old, he went to war on the battlefield. For twenty years, regardless of weather conditions, he fought in more than a hundred battles, and suffered countless wounds and bloodshed.
God bless. He was plagued by many illnesses and died early.
Keep holding on.
Keep holding on.
Wu Nian would have been tortured to death.
but. Is it really that easy?
and. Even if Wu Nian died of illness. Will Han Dynasty stop expanding? This is also an unknown.
It’s just.
Besides thinking this way, what else could they think? In the past, I could go out and provoke, contain the Han army, and cheer for the Meng Yuan.
it's good now.
I can't even go out.
hateful. Damn it.
.............
Liu Zhixing strategized and engaged in foreign affairs and domestic affairs in the rear. The Han army's front attack was not very smooth.
Wu Nian led his troops to camp in Pinggang, and did not wait for the opportunity to encircle the point for reinforcements and fight Haida decisively. General Long Qie led soldiers from 60,000 households, including Tieniu, Liu Wu, Zhao Mancheng, Li Yunchong, and Xiongben Neji, totaling 70,000 people.
Like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, it was crushing Ninggu City.
However, Ninggu City was guarded by only five thousand-household Mongolian soldiers. Logically speaking, the autumn wind should sweep away the fallen leaves. But in fact, the resistance of the Mongolian people was very tenacious.
Just like when Wu Nian used 300 elite troops to guard Beishan Fort.
Both the soldiers and civilians of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty believed that as long as the city was destroyed, men, women, children, chickens and dogs would not be left behind. So he resisted desperately. Although the Han army had the power to capture the dragon, they were unable to break through the Xuanwu shell immediately.
Siege the city. Lasted for March.
Only after the Han army suffered countless casualties did the battle situation change.
The setting sun is like blood.
But it is far less shocking than the blood. Outside Ninggu City. The Han army attacked the city from four directions and used various siege equipment for three months.
The corpses of the Han army were transported away batch after batch.
The blood of the Han army dyed the land outside the city red.
After the blood dries up, it turns black.
"Dong dong dong!!!!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Under the setting sun. The drums and horns of the Han army continued to sound. Countless Han troops climbed up the city one after another, shouting.
"Destroy Meng Yuan."
"God bless the man." and other slogans, risking their lives.
On the city wall. Countless Meng Yuan people were numbly resisting in fear, fatigue, and injuries.
There are men, women, young men, and soldiers. Men, women, old and young, almost all took part in the battle.
They held on for three months under the fierce attack of the Han army. It's reached its limit.
Under the banner of "dragon". Long Qie sat high on the black horse, wearing heavy armor. He looked up at the city with a cold look on his face.
"The city will be broken today. Send the order. After the city is broken, no one who can speak Chinese will be killed."
"Anyone who can't speak will be killed."
"No rape of women. We only kill."
"Slaughter the city."
The coldness in Long Qie's heart was a hundred thousand times colder than this cold weather. The hatred that his whole family was killed by Meng Yuan overwhelmed his body and mind.
He did not know the other generals and could not command them.
Every city he conquered had only one end.
Massacre the city.
"Yes." Long Qie's soldiers responded loudly without any sympathy or pity, and rode down to deliver the order.
