Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 1204: Reinforcements go north to invite Xuan soldiers

Subsequently, more and more news came, and three days later, news of the fall of Chengdu came.

Looking at the battle report, Wang Dun couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. After being stunned for a while, he sighed, put down the battle report, and felt exhausted.

"Chengdu is a great city in the world. When Li Xiong led the attack, he also used tricks to break the city. It took a lot of time before he could achieve his goal. After Li Xiong captured the city, he reinforced it back and forth. After knowing the single-shot cannon, , the power of artillery, and even the expansion of the city several times. In conjunction with the favorable geographical location of Shu, it should not have been so easy to be broken..."

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Dun also knew that all of this was of no use. Now that Chengdu was destroyed, regardless of whether Li Xiong was caught or not, the entire Shu regime had collapsed, and the entire Shu region had been annexed and absorbed by the north. It's just a matter of time.

"In this way, the only point in the world that is not controlled by Chen's family is the southeastern area." When Wang Dun spoke, he looked at the staff in front of him and spoke with great sincerity, "Before, that Chen family Didn't he say that he would attack Shu first and then fight Jingzhou? Now that Shu has been captured by him, it is probably only a matter of time before he attacks me. Do you have any countermeasures?"

After hearing this question, many staff members looked at me and me, but no one took the initiative to speak.

The aftermath of the previous news really made them frightened, and they didn't dare to make any rash ideas anymore. And to be honest, how could they fight against Youzhou soldiers and horses?For a moment, it was really difficult for them to think of a practical solution——

In the past, I could still talk quickly. After all, the Xuanjia Army was far away, but now it is really possible that the Xuanjia Army is attacking. This situation is different. This time, I was careless and said a lot of things, and I was defeated in the end. If they come down, they may be killed by Wang Dun to vent their anger. Even if they don't die, it won't be good, so they should think more about it.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Wang Dun withdrew his gaze, then snorted coldly and said: "I know your thoughts, but you are just afraid of taking responsibility, and there is really no useful way."

As he said that, he sighed: "How could I, not to mention you, have imagined that this would be the case now? They just said that the Xuanjia Army was hindered due to natural disasters, but in the blink of an eye, this situation Then it turned around and became what it is today. It seems like we in Jingzhou can’t stand it anymore.”

He looked at the people in front of him and said emphatically: "I say this to make you mentally prepared. If it's a decisive battle on the battlefield, I'm afraid no one will be his opponent, Chen!"

At this time, everyone heard some meaning, looked at each other, and had several guesses, thinking that the Lord of Jingzhou was planning to surrender?

If you think about it carefully, this is not impossible. With Wang Dun's background and military strength, if he surrendered to the Chen family, he would not end up with his head missing. Maybe he could also rely on the Wang family's relationship to get some help. With an official position and a half-job, although it will be difficult to control the army and lose power for the rest of his life, it is not difficult to be rich and healthy.

Of course, if you feel uncomfortable, you will not live a good life, and you may even suffer from some symptoms.

But at present, it is more practical than resisting the Xuanjia Army.

"You must be thinking, am I planning to surrender to that Chen family?" Wang Dun then directly said what everyone was thinking.

Suddenly, the hall fell silent. "The Chen family is so powerful now, in fact, it is because he got rich a few years before me. Xuan Jia is so tyrannical, it is nothing more than gathering the methods of hundreds of schools. If I could get the territory a few years earlier, I would have thought of these methods. We will convene and gather hundreds of families, so the situation will be completely different."

There was a kind of loss and unwillingness that was difficult to conceal in his words, and others could only remain indifferent after hearing this.

"Now, in the final analysis, what's the difference between him and me? It's just that he has a bigger territory and more people. That's all. If you want me to surrender to him, that's impossible!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone sighed. Knowing what happened today, it would be difficult to do anything good. However, Wang Dun had always had great prestige, and everyone was in awe of him. They also knew his character, so they didn't find it strange. It was just that It is inevitable that I will sigh in my heart, and then I will start to think of ways to face the coming storm.

Unexpectedly, Wang Dun suddenly said again: "The matter has come to this, there is no other way. However, I cannot resist the attack of the Xuanjia Army, but it does not mean that there is no way to restrain the Chen family. The Xuanjia Army is powerful, but the imperial court The soldiers and horses on the side are weak, if I attack them with all my strength, they will be unable to resist!"

As soon as he said this, some people in the hall suddenly realized, some looked surprised, some showed hesitation, and some were eager to try, but they all knew what Wang Dun was thinking——

Since there is no way to prevent it, then it might as well be to attack the Jiangzuo court first, gain control of the title, and perhaps survive in death. After all, no matter what the Chen family did, they still recognized the reign name of the Jiangzuo court, and The new emperor.

"This move can be regarded as a desperate move. If it fails, we can take advantage of the situation and fight for some space for the Wang family. It should be done without further delay. While the Xuanjia Army is still digesting Shu, it is temporarily difficult to allocate troops. Please hurry up Get ready and march immediately!"

After this order was issued, it didn't take long for the entire Jingzhou army to take action - they had long been prepared, but originally it was to deal with the possible arrival of the Xuanjia Army. Of course, Wang Dun also saved some other In his mind, he also prepared troops and horses on the road to Shu. The purpose is self-evident.

Now, they just changed the direction of the attack. Although there were some twists and turns, Jingzhou soldiers and horses had done it several times before, and this time it was done with ease.

On the other hand, the news about Shu was blocked at all levels and was not known to the soldiers below. Therefore, the morale of the Jingzhou soldiers was acceptable for this march. Therefore, this move, combined with the strategic advantages obtained long ago, can It was said that it was overwhelming, but in less than half a month, it had already besieged Stone City, shocking everyone in the Jiangzuo court.

But at this time, the newly enthroned emperor finally couldn't sit still. After consulting the opinions of the princes, he immediately wrote a letter of appeal for help, and Wen Qiao took it with him. He went out of the city overnight, broke through the siege, and walked by water. , headed towards the north, asked Chen Zhi for help, and asked him to send troops south to suppress the rebellion!
This letter was placed on Chen Zhi's desk a few days later, and everyone in the civil and military circles were quietly waiting for his decision.

"Prepare the troops and I will personally lead the troops south this time!"
