Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 1406 Aid Liangzhou
More than a dozen cavalry galloped all the way from Jiayuguan to the Jinjun camp, kicked up dust and entered the camp directly.

Sun Kewang, who was standing on the mountainside, was waiting for a group of people. When he saw the cavalrymen running from a distance, his face showed a serious look, and he waved his hand: "Go, go down and have a look, there is news from my king and others."

Although the current situation is rather critical, Sun Kewang was very happy that the soldiers surrendered, and he took the lead in high spirits.

When the group went down Qingtou Mountain, Sun Kewang did not enter the camp, but stood outside the camp and waited. The cavalry who had just entered the camp not long ago had already been brought, and the head lieutenant stepped forward to salute, "Report Your lord, Prime Minister Yu of Liangzhou has an urgent letter to deliver!"

One of the big reasons why Sun Kewang was able to form his own power in the Western Regions was that he didn't have many civil servants from the Kingdom of Jin around him, and the generals were not influenced by Confucianism, so they paid more attention to interests and their own future and wealth.As long as he tells a good story and describes a feasible vision for them, just like Chen She and Wu Guang exclaimed "the princes and generals have kindness", describe a good future for the generals, and have the ability to execute, the generals will be happy. Most of them will follow him to establish achievements and make a fortune.

Civil servants are a lot of trouble, but they are representatives of order. If you want them to be loyal, you have to ask for more. It can be said that it is relatively difficult, but the governance of the state cannot be separated from civil servants.

Jin Guo has few civil servants in the Western Regions, so Sun Kewang has fewer obstacles, but if he wants to be self-reliant, he has to get rid of a group of scholars.After all, he can only be stable for a while in the Western Regions by relying on force alone. He still needs civil servants to help him establish an effective administrative system to maintain the entire feudal country and avoid the situation of death and the collapse of the country's history.

In the Western Regions or grasslands, this situation can be said to be very common, as powerful as Timur, but also collapsed in a very short period of time.

However, Sun Kewang wanted to be self-reliant, but he didn't agree with the morality in the hearts of literati. It was more difficult for him to recruit the loyalty of scholars.Yu Yin is someone Sun Kewang values ​​more, and he really wants him to help him, but if Yu Yin knows that he wants to stand on his own, he might spit on him and scold him as a traitor.

If it was a face-faced person like Wang Yan, he might have given up and avoided such a shameless literati, but Sun Kewang was different. He was born as a thief, but he didn't have so many scruples in his actions. It doesn't matter if he doesn't pledge allegiance now. It is raised in the Western Regions, and it is delicious and delicious for a year or two, and the stones will give you no heat.

Hearing that it was Yu Yin's letter, Sun Kewang knew that the news from him should have arrived, so he hurriedly said, "Take the messenger to see the lonely king!"

The lieutenant was slightly taken aback, and when he realized it, he hurriedly bowed and left. After a while, a thin civil servant was brought up and bowed to Sun Kewang, "I'm going to serve Han Liang, the prefect of Liangzhou, and see King Anxi."

Sun Kewang showed concern on his face, he hurriedly supported his arm, and asked, "Prime Minister Yu sent Han Zhizhou over, but what's going on in Guanzhong?"

Han Hanliang is the second son of Han Chaoxuan. He galloped all the way here and saw that outside the Jinjun camp, most of the lawn was eaten up by war horses, cattle and sheep, so he knew that Sun Kewang had been stationed outside Jiayuguan for a while.

Right now the Kingdom of Jin is in a crisis of life and death, but he has not sent troops to support him for a long time, obviously he has a different intention.

Han Hanliang saw the situation outside the camp of Anxi Army, although he was angry in his heart, knowing that Sun Kewang was pretending to care, he still held back and did not expose him. , Now we are in a hurry to attack Liangzhou, Prime Minister Yu is organizing defenses in the city, please send troops to reinforce immediately!"

Sun Kewang rolled his eyes when he heard this, but he didn't agree. Instead, he asked: "Han Zhizhou came from Liangzhou, do you know how the battle in Guanzhong is going? Can your majesty send troops to rescue Liangzhou?"

Hearing this, Han Hanliang became anxious, and suddenly forced himself to bow down, but Sun Kewang held on and refused to let go, he could only say in pain: "Your lord is a stone pillar of the country, how can there be no end under the collapse of the nest?" Egg, the fate of the prince is based on the fortune of the Great Jin Kingdom, all will prosper and all will suffer, and now Guanzhong has been defeated, it is all up to the prince to turn the tide, the prince should not hesitate."

After Sun Kewang heard this, he was shocked, and he was still defeated. He couldn't help but turned his head and looked at the generals.

Since South Korean Liang is in a hurry to come to Jiayuguan for rescue, it is probably useless to conceal the news of the failure in Guanzhong. His eagerness to move troops at least shows that the situation is not optimistic, so he directly explained that he is very good, but he is afraid that he will not be able to impress Sun Kewang, so he added : "Right now, the only one who can save Prime Minister Yu and Dajin is the prince alone. If the prince helps the court to stabilize the situation, the credit will be like mending the sky, and it is not impossible to become a one-word king!"

Sun Kewang turned around after hearing the words, and hurriedly said: "Why did Han Zhizhou say this? The country is in trouble, and this king is naturally duty-bound. How could he be greedy for any title."

"Then I ask the prince to send troops as soon as possible to help the court through the crisis." As long as Sun Kewang is willing to send troops, he can perform whatever he wants, Han Hanliang hurriedly saluted, wanting to finalize the matter.

After finishing speaking, he presented a letter to Sun Kewang. Sun Kewang took out the letter. It was written by Yu Yin, and the content was similar to what Han Liang said. He said, let him send troops quickly, relieve the siege of Liangzhou, and help the Kingdom of Jin stabilize the front.

After reading Yu Yin's distress letter, Sun Kewang showed the letter to Zhang Sheng and others behind him, and then said to Han Liang: "This king is the King Anxi of the Dajin Kingdom, and it is naturally obligatory to rescue Liangzhou. This king will send troops immediately. Within three days, we will arrive in Liangzhou to rescue Prime Minister Yu."

After finishing speaking, Sun Kewang saw that Han Hanliang did not show any joy, and knew that he did not believe him, but Sun Kewang didn't care, and immediately ordered: "Zhang Sheng ordered the army to clean up, immediately break out of the camp, and prepare to enter the customs!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to the generals: "The generals will follow the king to enter the account and discuss the matter of entering the army!"

"My lord, I will replace Prime Minister Yu, thank you lord!" Han Han Liang bowed deeply, bowing deeply.

Sun Kewang had already made preparations to march in. With his order, all the soldiers began to pack up the tents. Within an hour, the preparations were basically completed.

At noon, after the army had a lunch, 6 horses left the foot of Qingtou Mountain and marched eastward.

Korean Liang saw that he dispatched troops so quickly, he thought he had misunderstood Sun Kewang, but he did not know that although he led 6 people into Jiayuguan, he left more than [-] people at the foot of Qingtou Mountain to graze cattle and sheep, and the logistics did not fully keep up. , obviously don't plan to stay in Yongliang for a long time.

Of Sun Kewang's 6 horses, Yuzi and Yarkand people accounted for more than half, with nearly 4 people.Sun Kewang's foundation in the Western Regions is not very stable, and he can only feel at ease if he brings these people from all ethnic groups in the Western Regions with him.

The 4 men were all horse troops. Sun Kewang's 6 gold army was similar to the dragon cavalry of the Ming army. They were all equipped with war horses.

······
In Liangzhou City, the Ming army's siege operation is still going on. Three thousand army musketeers, under the cover of shield chariots, are marching towards the city wall in a mighty manner. The gunners of the Ming army lined up in three rows and shot at the city in turn.

Projectiles whizzed and shot at the Jin army, and the broken stones from the wall were splashed, and soldiers of the Jin army who leaked their bodies kept falling down the city. The dense bullets made the soldiers of the Jin army on the top of the city unable to lift their heads.

At this time, Wang Deren waved his hand, raised his head and blew the horn. More than 2000 swordsmen and shields, carrying dozens of climbing ladders and pushing battering rams, rushed towards the top of the city like a tide.

Because of the suppression of the firecrackers of the Ming Dynasty, it was difficult for the soldiers of the Jin Army to fight back in a dense rain of bullets. They could only fire arrows from the shooting holes in the wall stacks and fight back sporadically.Although this did not kill the Ming army too much, it also protected itself. But when the soldiers of the Ming army approached the city wall, erected the climbing ladder, and began to climb, they could only brave the rain of bullets and fight with spears and rolling logs. fight back.

On the top of the city, the soldiers of the Golden Army kept stabbing their spears and dropping the rolling logs. The soldiers of the Golden Army scooped up the hot dung on the wall with iron spoons and poured it on the soldiers of the Ming Army who were climbing on the climbing ladder. A heartbreaking howl.

In the southern city of Liangzhou, on the city wall attacked by the Ming army, soldiers of the Ming army kept falling down and screaming, and soldiers of the Ming army continued to rush to the top of the city. However, he was immediately pierced through the chest by a spear, and a Ming soldier on the other side fell down the city wall with the Jin army in his arms.

A bloody and brutal offensive and defensive battle is raging in the south city of Liangzhou...
