Chapter 469 Gathering in Hangzhou
The defending soldiers in Deqing County were only five thousand, and the city walls were not high. The martial arts of the defending generals were average. As soon as Guan Sheng led the troops, he took him to capture them without much effort. Seeing that the situation was not good, the defending generals took the five around him.
More than a dozen personal soldiers escaped from the north gate.
When Guan Sheng entered the city, he immediately asked the magistrate of Deqing, who was sent by the court, to take over Deqing County. He would handle all the matters in Deqing County, which saved Guan Sheng a lot of trouble.
After one night of rest, Guan Sheng sent Hao Siwen to lead 2,000 people to escort Huzhou Prefect and Xuanzhou Prefecture and other officials to Huzhou, and Xuanzhou took over.
Before Dusong Pass.
Lu Junyi, Gao Zhan, Wang Jin and the other three led their troops to challenge the battle under the gate. The guards at the gate were facing each other with bows and arrows to prevent them from attacking.
In the hall, the guard general Wu Sheng, deputy general Jiang Yin and Wei Heng, three of them sat at the table, talking while listening to the yelling and scolding at the bottom of the lock.
"I know I can't catch up, but I still come every day, so these people are not tired." Wei Heng said.
Jiang Yin smiled and said, "They have no other way except to scold, so let them scold, anyway, a piece of meat is indispensable."
Wu Sheng stood up and walked to the door, with his hands behind his back, staring at the front and said, "It's not a solution for them to block this way before they are closed. They still have to find a way to defeat them."
Dusong Pass is usually passed by the people, and Wu Sheng and others also have tax points here. For ordinary people who pass here, each person must pay a penny to pass. If it is a carriage that pulls goods, it will take fifty.
It takes only 100 essays to pass.
When Lu Junyi and the others arrived, the door was closed and the people could no longer live here, so their income would naturally be gone.
Therefore, Wu Sheng wanted to repel Lu Junyi and the others as soon as possible, so that he could reopen and close the door and collect money from the people.
Jiang Yin said: "It would be great if we could defeat them, but this Song army is brave and good at fighting and has excellent martial arts skills. It is impossible for us to defeat them, so persistence is our best way."
Gao Zhan, when Wang Jin led his troops on the first day, Jiang Yin had led his troops down the gate to fight Gao Zhan, but he was killed in less than ten rounds. If he hadn't escaped quickly, he would have been
He died under Gao Zhan's gun, so he had a shadow on the battle between Xiaguan in his heart.
Wu Sheng said: "It's true that we can't do it alone, but if the prince can send us more people, there should be no problem."
"You mean to ask the prince to send troops?" Wei Heng said.
Wu Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, the prince has four marshals, twenty-four generals, and tens of thousands of troops. As long as he can send a few generals and tens of thousands of troops, we will definitely defeat the Song army.
”
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier hurried in and said, "General, the prince sent the marshal, the army of the marshal, to lead a 10,000 army to help. Now he is almost at the front of the pass."
After hearing this, Wu Sheng was overjoyed and said, "It's great. I really want to do whatever I want. Now we can defeat the Song army."
Then, he quickly led Jiang Yin and Wei Heng out to greet him.
About ten minutes later, Si Xingfang rode a tall horse, holding a big knife in his hand, and slowly came to the gate with ten thousand soldiers.
Wu Sheng, Jiang Yin and Wei Heng quickly stepped forward to greet him: "I am not good at Wu Sheng, Jiang Yin and Wei Heng pay homage to Marshal of the Secretariat."
"I've been waiting for three generals for a long time." Si Xingfang said with a smile.
“There, there.”
Wu Sheng said: "The Marshal was grateful for his humble position."
Then, he stretched out his hand to Guanli and said, "Marcedes-Master, please rest in Guanli."
"No hurry, I'll introduce you to two individuals first."
Si Xingfang glanced at Sun An and Luan Tingyu who were following him and said, "These two are newly recruited generals by the prince. This is General Sun and that is General Luan. They are both talented people with extraordinary martial arts skills. This time
In order to destroy the Song army, the prince asked them to come with me."
Wu Sheng, Jiang Yin, Wei Heng looked at Sun An and Luan Tingyu, and they were indeed very arrogant. The three of them quickly bowed and said, "I have seen two generals."
Sun An and Luan Tingyu returned the favor to them quietly, and then walked into the pass under their leadership.
After entering the city, Sun An gave Si Xingfang and Luan Tingyu a look, and the three of them raised their weapons at the same time and chopped Wu Sheng, Jiang Yin, and Wei Heng.
Wu Sheng, Jiang Yin, Wei Heng had no idea that Si Xingfang and others would attack them, and there was no defense at all. Wu Sheng was killed by Si Xingfang, Jiang Yin was also knocked off by Sun An, and Wei Heng was smashed by Luan Tingyu.
brain rupture.
This sudden change made all the defenders present confused. Sun An raised his sword and said, "Listen to all the defenders, I am the general of the Song army. Now, according to Your Majesty's order, General Zheng Hua, comes to wipe out the rebel Fang La,
Now Runzhou, Xuanzhou, Huzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou have been captured by us. Fang La's younger brother Fang Mao, his son Fang Tianding, and Dongcheng Privy Councilor Lu Shinang have been captured by us. Baoguang Monk Deng Yuanjue
, General Shi Bao, Nanli, and the other nineteen generals under Fang Tianding have been beheaded by us, and the two or three hundred thousand troops under their command have also been eliminated by us.
Now you are surrounded by us. If you put down your weapons and surrender, you will not only be spared from death, but also after you eliminate Fang La in the future, you will all have fields and houses, and there will be no more harsh taxes on you.
On your head, you can live the life you want. But if you continue to resist, there is only a dead end."
Si Xingfang also said, "Brothers, what General Sun said is true. As long as you put down your weapons, no matter what you have done before, you will be spared. We guarantee that you will not die alone."
The defenders looked at me, I looked at you, and then looked at the killed Wu Sheng, Jiang Yin, and Wei Heng. In the end, they all put down their weapons and surrendered.
Sun An asked someone to take all these defenders to a spacious place to see, then went over and let someone open the door, rode outside to Lu Junyi, Gao Zhan, Wang Jin clasped his fists and said, "General Lu, General Gao, General Wang
Dusong Pass has been taken down, please enter the Pass.”
"General Sun!"
Lu Junyi, Gao Zhan, Wang Jin was very happy to see Sun An, and rode over and asked, "General Sun, why are you here?"
Sun An talked about the incident, and Lu Junyi sighed: "Just like this, I took Dusong Pass without bloodshed. I am so smart."
Then Lu Junyi, Gao Zhan and Wang Jin led his subordinates to Dusong Pass. Sun An General Si Xingfang and the Imperial Army General Wang Su introduced Lu Junyi and the others, and the few of them greeted each other.
"General Wang, Dusong Pass has been taken down and handed over to you now. You will have to work for Dusong Pass in the future." Sun An said to Su.
Wang Su said: "General Sun is worried. Beishi will definitely guard Dusong Pass well and will never make any mistakes."
Sun An nodded slightly, then looked at Lu Junyi and said, "General Lu, do you want to rest here for another day, or go to Hangzhou to meet with the adults immediately?"
It is not too far from Dusong Pass to Hangzhou, but you can only arrive tomorrow. If you take a day off here today and set off tomorrow, you will have to arrive in Hangzhou the day after tomorrow.
"We haven't fought these days, so we don't need to rest. And it's still early now, so let's get off immediately so that we can go to Hangzhou to meet with the adults tomorrow." Lu Junyi said.
"Since that's the case, let's set off." Sun An said.
Because all the troops had not been disbanded, he gave a direct order and the army came out of the pass and took the Dusong Pass guards who had just surrendered and returned to Hangzhou together.
That night, they rested in the wild for one night and continued to set off the next morning. They arrived in Hangzhou at noon, and Guan Sheng had already returned yesterday.
"See sir."
Seeing Hua Ju, Lu Junyi, Gao Zhan, Wang Jin hurriedly came forward to pay homage. After Hua Ju asked them to waive the gift, he asked with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work all the way."
Lu Junyi said: "Compared with adults, this hard work is nothing."
Hua Ju said: "You have successively captured Xuanzhou and Huzhou, and have also eliminated all the remaining Fang La troops under their rule. It is already very good. If Dusong Pass had not been steep in the terrain, easy to defend but difficult to attack, you should have been better than me.
Arrive in Hangzhou early.”
"Shame. We have been delaying at Dusong Pass for several days, and there is no way out. If it weren't for the adults' tricks, we would still be blocked there." Lu Junyi said with a shameful look on his face.
Hua Ju smiled and said, "Okay, don't talk about that anymore. Thank you for your hard work all the way, hurry up and sit down and rest."
Lu Junyi, Gao Zhan, Wang Jin, Sun An, Guan Sheng sat down. Hua Ju asked about Lu Junyi and his team after they divided the troops, and then said: "Now Hangzhou has been taken down, our next goal is the gang source occupied by Fang La.
Hole."
Hua Ju asks someone to bring the map and open it on the table. Lu Junyi, Sun An, Guan Sheng, Gao Zhan, Wang Jin and other generals surrounded him. Hua Ju pointed to the map and said, "There is a lead to Bangyuan Cave."
There are two paths, one is to go to Fuyang, Wulongling, Muzhou, Qingxi, and to Bangyuan Cave. The other is to go to Yuling Pass and Shezhou to Bangyuan Cave.
Therefore, I am going to follow the previous strategy and advance in unison, and I will lead Guan Sheng, Sun An and others to Fuyang, General Lu, General Gao, General Wang, and your three armies will follow Yuling Pass and Shezhou.
We meet in Qingxi County. What do you think?"
"I am willing to follow the instructions of the Lord." Lu Junyi, Gao Zhan and Wang Jin said.
Hua Ju said: "Since that's the case, you will go to Hangzhou for two days before setting off."
Lu Junyi said: "Sir, we haven't fought these days and don't need to be repaired. We can set off tomorrow." Lu Junyi said.
Hua Ju said: "Although you haven't fought these days, it's quite hard to call every day. Let the soldiers recover their strength."
Hearing Hua Jue say this, Lu Junyi didn't feel comfortable insisting, so he responded in a low voice and didn't speak.
At this time, a soldier came in outside and said, "Sir, the navy army ruled Liu Menglong and led the navy from the water route to Hangzhou."
"Oh, he's here too."
After the separation of Runzhou, I didn't hear any news about Liu Menglong again. Hua Ju was about to send someone to inquire, but he didn't expect him to come and said happily: "Go and call him here quickly."
