A knife in love

Chapter 3111

After Zhu Di received Tie Xuan's letter of arrows, he was very happy at the beginning. He thought that the city guard was forced by the situation and was afraid of losing his life. Auxiliary Cheng Wang Lun" an article.Tie Xuan intends to use this article to persuade Zhu Di to follow the example of Zhou Gong who assisted his nephew in governing the world, and faithfully assist his nephew Zhu Yunwen, and not to make a big mistake by trying to raise troops and cause chaos.

After Zhu Di read the letter, he was furious and tore up the reply letter written by Tie Xuan with his own hands, and ordered to attack the city.Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong led their soldiers to defend the city desperately, killing and wounding many Yan troops, and tried their best to protect Jinan City.Zhu Di was so angry that he personally supervised the battle and ordered the Yan army to break through Jinan City.Unexpectedly, the Yan army suffered a lot of losses and was still unable to break through the city. However, Zhu Di had no choice but to dig the embankment of the Yellow River and divert water from the Yellow River to irrigate the city.

After Xi Zuo found out about Zhu Di's plot, he hurriedly fled back to the city and reported the matter to Tie Xuan.After Sheng Yong and other generals heard the news, everyone turned pale with shock, thinking that once Zhu Di flooded the city with water from the Yellow River, the city of Jinan would turn into a country of Ze, and no one in the city would be spared.Tie Xuan knew that if the news got out, the army in Jinan would be shaken and the city would be destroyed, so he strictly ordered the generals not to leak the news. At the same time, in order to prevent Zhu Di from flooding the city with water from the Yellow River, he planned to lure Zhu Di into the city by tricking him into surrendering. Kill him again.

After Tie Xuan made up his mind, he sent Sheng Yong to conceal a thousand-jin gate at the top of the city gate, and made the guards cry and howl, so that the Yan army outside the city thought that the soldiers in the city were shaken.Yan Jun saw the panic of the defenders on the city and heard the sound of crying and howling. He really thought that the defenders were shaken and was very happy.Zhu Di also gave up the poisonous plan to irrigate the city with water from the Yellow River, and only waited for the defenders to leave the city and surrender.

A few days later, Tie Xuan sent a dead soldier as an envoy to the Yan army camp outside the city to kneel down and ask for surrender.The dead man was a man of eloquence. After entering the camp of the Yan army, Zhu Di and his men questioned him repeatedly. , so that you risked your own life and risked your life to fight on the battlefield. You are the favorite son of Emperor Gao. The people of my generation are the subjects of Emperor Gao. I have always wanted to surrender to you. But the soldiers and people in Jinan City are all An ignorant villain who doesn't know how to fight, saw the king leading an army to suppress the border, and was afraid of being killed by the rebel army, so he resisted desperately. Now that he knows that the king is the king's teacher, how can Jinan City refuse to surrender? Will you please the king? If the soldiers do not fight, they lead the troops into the city, and the soldiers and civilians of the whole city will kneel down to meet the king and serve him with death."

Zhu Di, King of Yan, is cunning and cunning, so it stands to reason that he would not be easily fooled.It's just that he led the army to the south, and fought hard for a long time under the city of Jinan. The soldiers suffered countless casualties, and the food and grass became increasingly scarce, and the reinforcements of the southern army might move northward at any time, so the morale of the army was quite unstable.If it weren't for Yao Guangxiao, who assisted Zhu Gaochi, the son of King Yan, to guard Beiping City, who encouraged Zhu Di again and again, I'm afraid he would have led the Yan army back to Beiping.Zhu Di was in a dilemma and was at a loss when he suddenly heard that Jinan City could be defeated without a fight. He was ecstatic in his heart, and had already cast his caution to the winds.He thought to himself that after occupying Jinan City, the Yan army can cut off the north and south and occupy the geographical advantage. They can attack Yingtian in the south, capture the Central Plains in the west, and retreat to the north of the Yellow River in the north.It's just that although the guard of Jinan City surrendered, he must not spare the soldiers in the city. After he entered the city, he had to slaughter the city with his troops to eliminate future troubles.

On the day when the two parties agreed to enter the city, Zhu Di wanted to frighten the soldiers and civilians in Jinan City. He rode a tall horse with a big yellow umbrella, surrounded by golden armored warriors, and entered the city triumphantly from the west gate of Jinan City.Sure enough, the soldiers guarding the city knelt on the wall, and no one dared to look up.Seeing this situation, Zhu Di was overjoyed and wished he could rush into the city immediately, kill all the soldiers and people in the city, and set up the banner of King Yan on the top of the city.

When Zhu Di walked out of the city gate, he could only hear the soldiers on the city shouting "Enter the city at a thousand years old". The iron gate on the door slammed down.It was also Zhu Di's life that didn't deserve his death. His mount was startled by the loud noise, and he actually backed away. At this time, the iron gate just fell down, smashing the head of Zhu Di's mount. Although Zhu Di fell from the horse, he managed to survive.

At this time Zhu Di knew that he had been fooled. Although he was terrified, he had experienced many battles and knew that the moment of life and death was at stake, so he must not hesitate at all. He desperately escaped from Jinan City.

Zhu Di narrowly escaped death, and his heart became more and more annoyed. It happened that the reinforcements sent by Yao Guangxiao arrived outside Jinan City with cannons.Zhu Di besieged the city with heavy troops and bombarded the city wall with cannons, which was about to collapse. Tie Xuan hung the portrait of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang on the top of the city, and wrote many Zhu Yuanzhang's gods and gods by himself, and placed them on the crenels of the city wall.Seeing this situation, Zhu Di was afraid of being accused of being unfilial, so he had to order the Yan army not to bombard the city wall with cannons, so Jinan City was preserved.

Although Zhu Di didn't dare to bombard the city wall with cannons, he was unwilling to withdraw his troops at this point, so he dug trenches outside the city to defend, trying to trap the soldiers and civilians in Jinan City to death.Tie Xuan refused to sit in the isolated city and wait for death, so he recruited dead men to go out of the city to harass the Yan army.Taking advantage of the wavering of the Yan army's morale, Tie Xuan and Sheng Yong led the surprise troops out of the city and defeated the Yan army.Although Zhu Di was extremely angry, there was nothing he could do.Yao Guangxiao wrote a letter to Zhu Di, asking him to withdraw from the siege of Jinan, first return to Beiping to garrison troops, and then move on.

Zhu Di had no choice but to lead the Yan army back to Peiping.After several months of fighting, not only the generals of the Yan army were afraid of Tie Xuan, but even Zhu Di, who had experienced many battles, was extremely afraid of Tie Xuan, and never dared to attack Jinan city easily.Afterwards, although the Yan army went south many times, they all bypassed Jinan City, not daring to confront the soldiers and horses led by Tie Xuan.

After Zhu Di retreated, Tie Xuan joined forces with Sheng Yong, took advantage of the victory and pursued, regained the counties and counties of Dezhou, and the military power was greatly enhanced.After Jinan was rescued from the siege, Tie Xuan held a banquet at Daming Lake to reward the soldiers.Emperor Jianwen sent envoys to give money to the garrison in Jinan, and promoted Tie Xuan to be the governor of Shandong, added the title of minister of the Ministry of War, praised military affairs, and assisted Sheng Yong in preparing for the Northern Expedition of the Yan Army.The Jinan people who were spared from the war called Tie Xuan the "City God" and respected him very much.

It was only later that Zhu Di used Yao Guangxiao's strategy to lead his troops around Jinan City, took Yingtian directly, and finally broke through the capital.After Zhu Di seized the throne, he returned to the north to attack Jinan again, and massacred the people in Hebei.When he arrived in Jinan, Tie Xuan refused to surrender, but because he was outnumbered, the city was breached.Zhu Di set up an ambush to capture Tie Xuan. Tie Xuan was finally captured in Huainan and escorted to the capital. Company insults.
