The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 194 Request for reinforcements, reactivate

It is only said that the news of Zhou Yu's fire plan to wipe out [-] rebels quickly spread throughout Jiangling City.

In an instant, a dark cloud shrouded Jiangling City up and down.

The determination of the soldiers and civilians in the city to defend the city began to waver.

Just kidding, that's an army of [-], but it's only within half a month.

It was wiped out by the Sui army with no more than 3 horses.

Under such a huge blow, how could the morale of the rebel army not be shaken?

In addition, due to Xiao Liang's [-] Northern Expedition elites, they had long been lost in Xiangjiang.

Today, the [-] troops left behind in various parts of Jingnan are also wiped out under the fire of the Sui army.

Today, Xiao Liang's army has only Jiangling, a lonely city left, and although there are still [-] defenders.

But among them, the combat effectiveness cannot be the same!

This rebel army was only usually recruited to defend the royal city Jiangling, and had never experienced war at all.

For a time, in the royal city and above the court hall, people were panicked and overcast.

…………

When Zhou Yu wiped out [-] rebels in the first battle, the main force of the Yanmen Army finally built a solid line of defense along the city under the supervision of the generals.

Today, it can be said that Jiangling City is completely blocked inside and outside, and even the water control power of the Yangtze River is in the hands of the Yanmen Army.

Due to the defeat of Xiao Liang's army in Jingnan area without any conscripts and being caught off guard, Xiao Mian had no time to react at all.

For a while, the situation in the city became more turbulent.

Originally, due to Xiao Xian's dominance in the south of the Yangtze River, his strength can be said to be strong.

However, after Gao Qi led his army south, it only took more than two months to wipe out 20 troops of Xiao Liang's army.

And the territory under his command was directly attacked from several counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and the isolated city Jiangling was trapped.

And Dong Jingzhen's unit who is still lingering in Changsha City.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Liangjun's already unfavorable situation became even worse.

Soon, Xiao Xian, the king of Liang, finally became frightened. He summoned all his ministers and asked, "All my loves, now Sui general Zhou Yu is leading his army across the Yangtze River."

"Using fire to attack all the armed forces of our army in the Jingnan area in one fell swoop."

"Now my Jiangling City has become an isolated city, what do you guys think?"

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials in the court bowed their heads silently, and no one stood up to propose a plan.

For a moment, Xiao Xian couldn't help feeling like a deflated ball in his heart, haggard and exhausted.

Just when Xiao Mian was about to despair, the Chief Adviser Cen Wenwen couldn't help standing up, cupped his hands and said slowly: "King Liang, I have a plan, maybe I can give it a try."

"Oh? What's the plan, tell me quickly."

Just to say, after hearing Cen Wenwen's advice, Xiao Mian couldn't help recovering his expression quickly, and asked.

Immediately, Cen Wenwen raised his head slightly, and made a serious analysis: "King Liang, when our army raised troops, didn't we sign an alliance with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that launched the uprising?"

"Now our army is in a precarious situation under the offensive of the Yanmen Army, and there is a possibility of breaking the city at any time."

"Therefore, the Taiping Army definitely doesn't want the Yanmen Army to let our army perish so quickly."

"Survival and death will make our teeth cold! If our army is quickly wiped out by the Yanmen army, then the Yanmen army will definitely be recruited to Jinling and Yuhang generations to assist the Sui Dynasty to protect children against the Taiping army."

"At that time, the pressure on the Taiping Army will definitely increase greatly."

"Therefore, what I mean is that I hope King Liang will send an envoy to the Taiping Army camp to request reinforcements."

For a while, Cen Wenwen first analyzed the current situation bit by bit.

Then he announced his plan to ask the ally Taiping Army for reinforcements in one fell swoop.

Hearing this, Xiao Mian also knew that this was the only way now.

Immediately, he couldn't help asking: "I wonder which love minister is willing to send an envoy to the Taiping Army and ask for reinforcements?"

However, the voice passed for a long time, and no one stood up.

Today, basically no minister is willing to take risks.

You must know that the Yanmen Army has built deep trenches and high fortifications outside the city, and the defense line is extremely strong.

It is quite difficult to bypass the defense line of the Yanmen Army.

Moreover, there may be some life-threatening in it.

Therefore, for these spirits in the court, how could they be willing to sacrifice their lives for a dynasty that is about to be lonely?
Seeing for a long time, no one stood up and voluntarily acted as an envoy.

The chief adviser, Cen Wenwen, couldn't help but slowly stepped forward and offered to be the envoy.

But Cen Wenwen made a suggestion, that is, he hoped that Xiao Mian would send several waves of envoys disguised as himself to set off in different directions.

And Cen Wenwen's reason is that now that the Yanmen Army's defense line outside the city is deep and high, it may be difficult for envoys to bypass the Sui Army's defense line.

Only by sending many envoys to confuse the Sui army and cover themselves, can it be possible to bypass it.

Therefore, all of a sudden, the traitor faction above the court unfortunately became Xiao Mian's sacrifice pawn.

Suddenly, under the coercion and lure of Liang Wang Xiao Mian, several civil servants became victims of protecting Cen Wenwen.

…………

At night, the gate of Jiangling city was quietly opened, but it was closed again soon.

And several people in the night also disappeared into the night.

I thought it was done in a very hidden way, but in the dark place in the distance, there are several pairs of bright eyes staring at this place closely.

"Report, General! Our army caught several spies while patrolling."

"General, our army has captured the civil servants who the rebels wanted to escape."

"General, this man's name is Cen Wenwen, he is the chief adviser of the rebel Xiao Xian, and he was ordered to send an envoy to the Taiping Army."

"I want to ask for reinforcements to deal with our army!"

In the middle of the night, Zhang Liao, Zhang Shigui, and Zhao Yun broke into Gao Qi's big tent together, and they clasped their hands to report.

"Oh? Ask for reinforcements?"

Hearing this, Gao Qi couldn't help raising his head slowly, and said in surprise.

…………

It is only said that after Cen Wenwen and others were all captured by the Yanmen Army last night.

Gao Qi then ordered Cen Wenwen and others to be escorted to Jiangling city.

Xiao Mian, who was restless on the city wall, waiting for Cen Wenwen, suddenly saw a scene.

That was Cen Wenwen and all the civil servants who served as bait, and they were all escorted under Jiangling City to show the public.

In an instant, Xiao Xian couldn't bear the blow, his chest couldn't recover, and he spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"King Liang, King Liang!"

For a moment, the civil servants and generals defending the city couldn't help shouting in a hurry.

And help him up!
…………

Royal Palace, Xiao Xian's bedroom

After a long time, the comatose Xiao Mian faintly woke up.

For a while, all the ministers gathered in the palace were overjoyed.

"Now that Mr. Cen has also been captured by the Sui army, I'm afraid there is nothing he can do to ask the Taiping army for support."

"My love, what else can you do?"

Suddenly, Xiao Mian couldn't help sitting up slowly, and asked quietly.

After a long time, one of the civil servants suggested: "King Liang, the only way out now is to reactivate General Gong Yuan."

"See if the general has any plan to save me, Xiao Liang."

Following the civil servant's proposal, Xiao Xian suddenly became full of strength and shouted Xuan Gongyuan's words about entering the palace.

After yelling, Xiao Xian couldn't help spitting out a mouthful of blood again, and fell into a coma again.

"King Liang, King Liang!"
