Strictly speaking, Jiesu is not a military general who rose up through the military route according to the normal system.
He is a complete confidant of Wan Yanliang's faction and a person who is in the heart of the emperor.
At first, Li Su was the captain of the personal guard around Wan Yanliang. During Wan Yan Liang's seizure of power, he charged into battle, risked his life and made considerable achievements, so he was very trusted after Wan Yan Liang ascended the throne.
Later, because he felt that he did not have enough control over the army, many of his bright-faced old subordinates were sent to the army to practice gold plating.
The speed of separation is relatively outstanding among them, and he has quite a bit of military talent, so he has been rising through the ranks and reached the position of deputy general manager of the army in a short period of time.
During this expedition, Wanyan Liang specially recruited him to join Wanyan Alin's army.
One is that he is not at ease with Wanyan A-lin, and the other is that he wants to leave Suduo to practice, learn something from Wanyan A-lin, and develop his skills.
Wanyan A-lin is still one of the capable generals among the new generation of generals. Wanyan Liang hopes that he can learn something from Li Su and grow up as soon as possible.
Therefore, the other generals were in awe of Wanyan's status as a Lin clan member and would not do this when they left Su Ke.
Naturally, they, the old subordinates and clan members of Wan Yanliang's family, did not call and were even hostile to the clan.
Before, Zuosu was dissatisfied with Wanyan Alin's order. Now Wanyan Alin had given him an order that was almost equivalent to asking him to die. How could he carry out it?
He thought about it seriously and felt that he couldn't be so obedient.
"No, we can't go. If we go, even if we can win, we will still suffer heavy losses. Maybe we won't even be able to save our lives, and we will be killed by that bastard. He is helpless, so he will let us fight with our lives. This is Can we listen to the matter?”
Li Susu said to the general beside him.
The generals around him looked at each other.
They knew about Lisu Su and even the old subordinates around the current emperor, and they were even more aware of how harsh the emperor was towards the clan, but no matter what, they did not have the confidence to dare to go against the clan.
But if they break away from Yatutite, they will of course be happy to follow him and leave the land of right and wrong. No one wants to die fighting here, right?
However, a subordinate general who was close to him persuaded him.
"Although this order is harsh and we are unwilling to carry it out, General Wanyan is still the commander-in-chief. Military orders on the battlefield cannot be violated, otherwise even if he is killed, it is not impossible. The general must think of his next move, but Wanyan cannot let The general has a clear target."
Li Su thought about it seriously and felt that what the general said made sense.
Although he was unhappy with Wanyan Alin asking them to go to the head, he couldn't give Wanyan Alin a chance to do anything against him.
"Then what do you think I should do?"
"The general cannot withdraw from the battlefield, so he should feign an attack. No matter what, he will not be able to capture it. There are small mistakes but no major mistakes. No matter what, there are ways to fool him. As long as the army is preserved, Your Majesty will not embarrass the general. "
The advice given by his subordinates to Li Suti made Li Su very excited.
"Indeed, no matter what, I can't live up to the truth, but Wanyan Alin wants me to work for him, and he is not qualified!"
Lisusu snorted coldly and replied to Wanyan Alin on the surface that he understood, but in fact he only planned to fish happily and was not prepared to attack the local area at all.
He also sent people to find an escape route in advance. If the situation went bad, he would retreat immediately, thus at least preserving the troops.
Well, just do it!
Wanyan Alin didn't expect that his intimidation would have a counter-effect on Zuosu. Zuosu was alienated from him and had no intention of helping him.
And he was still concentrating on preparing to cross the river.
On the other side, Su Yonglin has been sending troops to guard the banks of the Zishui River since Wanyan Alin arrived in Wuji County, monitoring the movements of the Jin army and preparing to make contingency plans at any time.
However, before Wanyan Alin could launch his attack, Zhending City had already reached its limit.
The chaos in the city has never stopped. In the fierce chaos, those who did not climb the city wall were either drowned, starved to death, or killed. In short, no one was left.
The few survivors on the city wall finally began to face the problem of insufficient food but no way out.
Wugu Lunwo Lun originally planned to use a makeshift boat to escape, but was surprised to find that the coalition forces outside the city had used small boats to cruise around Zhending County, just like cunning wolves waiting for their injured prey to completely lose its combat effectiveness. .
Wugu Lunwo Lun felt that the coalition forces outside the city were hungry wolves, and they were thinking about rushing up and biting his neck off every moment.
There is no possibility of escape, there is no news of reinforcements, the siege of the city is still there, Zhending City is almost soaked with water.
Many corpses have also been soaked to death, and waves of unpleasant stench constantly challenge the survivors' nerves. That is to say, the stench is not so strong now that the weather is cold. If the weather is hot, the stench can kill them.
Finally, when the food in the city began to run out and rationing began to be controlled, the tight strings in the survivors' heads broke.
No one can control them anymore.
On December 20, the coalition soldiers who were cruising far around the city by boat discovered that a fierce battle was taking place in the city. The golden soldiers on the four walls were killing each other and making a mess. The battle was so fierce that they were all seen. Silly.
They quickly informed Su Yonglin of the news. After learning about it, Su Yonglin immediately drove a boat to observe it personally and found that it was indeed the case.
"They finally couldn't hold on any longer. The city is really about to be destroyed."
After besieging the city for more than a month, the Jin people in the city finally couldn't bear the internal and external troubles, collapsed completely, and started killing each other.
Although Su Yonglin didn't know who made the move first, he knew that the city was finally coming to an end.
The fighting in the city was fierce, and Su Yonglin ordered the army to exercise restraint, not to attack, but to wait for the final result, until they were exhausted.
Then the next morning, when there was no movement in the city, Su Yonglin asked someone to approach the city with a hook rope and go up to the city to check the situation.
The results speak for themselves.
There are almost no living people left in the city. The survivors on the tower are all dead. Many people wearing official uniforms and high-quality armor have died on the tower. Blood is everywhere, and broken limbs are everywhere. No matter what, It’s very scary to watch.
I don’t know how brutal the fighting was that they went through.
There were survivors, but most of them were mentally disturbed. When they saw the coalition soldiers, they rushed up to fight with red eyes, as if they were wild beasts that had lost their minds and could do nothing but kill.
And such a group of people were quickly killed.
Su Yonglin gave the order to get rid of all the chickens and dogs in the city. He wanted to leave an empty Zhending City as a base for future counterattacks.
Having said that, the flood all over the city is a troublesome thing, but it cannot be drained now because there is still the main force of the Jin Army outside.
After thinking for a while, Su Yonglin ordered to start repairing the Hutuo River embankment and burn the bodies of the deceased on the city wall.
After all the corpses in the city are burned, go to the city to salvage the corpses of the remaining dead and set them on fire together, trying not to leave any corpses behind.
That is to say, the weather is cold now. If the weather is hot, Zhending City will be a dead city, and Su Yonglin will not dare to let living people in.
Standing on the tower, looking at the fire and the corpses floating all over the city, Su Yonglin knew that he had won the war.
He turned his head and smiled as he watched Su Haisheng, Han Jinggui and the others excitedly celebrating this hard-won victory on the tower.
He doesn't like death, not at all. He believes that life is precious and should be respected.
But if the enemy dies, he will be happy to backhand a wave of super doubles to wipe out the enemy faster.
Now, isn't that exactly what it is?
All the enemies in the city were wiped out in one fell swoop. Zhending, Jinting's important town in Hebei Province, could no longer perform its duties. Jinting's strategic goal had failed in half.
Su Yonglin felt that if the Jin army came to lift the siege of Zhending, then their strategic goal no longer existed.
Of course, despite the hard-won victory, the war is not over yet.
There's still half of it.
Su Yonglin cast his gaze in the direction of Wuji County.
