- Jiangling City is a large city with six gates. Until the Ming Dynasty, it was the well-deserved core city in the Jingxiang region. It was not until the establishment of the province in the Yuan Dynasty that Wuchang became the capital of Huguang Province due to its location in Jiangbei and was included in Henan Jiangbei Province. After that, it gradually lost its status as a core city in the Jingxiang region.
Of course, the current Jiangling City has a radius of ten miles, a city height of two and a half feet, and a population of 200,000. It is well deserved to be the first city in Huguang.
There are six gates in Jiangling City, two each on the north and east, and one each on the south and west. Li Shimin left through the west gate.
Although Li Shimin was surrounded by 300 guards, because he was Xiao Mian's distinguished guest and he was leaving the city rather than entering the city, Liang Jun, who was guarding the west gate, did not check them closely.
As soon as the two sides met almost face to face, Liang Jun opened the city gate and let Li Shimin and his party out of the city.
It was already afternoon, and it was getting dark early. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the city wall, and the blue bricks reflected were slightly red, as if they were shining beautifully.
At this time, Li Shimin suddenly got out of the car and had already put on a suit of armor.
The little leader of Liang Jun who led the team at the city gate stepped forward diligently, thinking of trying to curry favor with Li Shimin.
Li Shimin waved to him, and the man ran over in a hurry. At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and thrust it into the man's chest.
This man suffered a sudden blow and his chest hurt. He stretched out his hand, trying to grab something, but he couldn't grab anything. Li Shimin drew his sword, kicked it away, and shouted: "Kill the thief!"
At this time, the three hundred men and horses led by Hou Junji also suddenly attacked the defenders at the city gate.
If there is chaos, there will be many defenders at the city gate. But in peacetime, there will be no more than a hundred guards at each city gate. This is still a big city. In a small town like that, there are only a few people who open and close doors. Moreover, the gatekeeping officers and soldiers have always been selected to be good-looking. Regardless of their combat capabilities and being exposed to the wind and sun every day, generally only the worst troops will be responsible for the drudgery of guarding the gates. Taken together, this is why theft of cities often appears in history books.
"The Beauty of the Sun and the Moon"
"And Li Shimin's three hundred guards are all elites in the army, far beyond the comparison of the gatekeepers like Liang Jun.
Hou Junji quickly killed the crowd, rushed into the city gate, and lowered the city gate.
Jiangling¡¯s city gates are all in the style of a thousand-jin gate, and there is usually a wide moat outside the city. When Zhou Yu attacked Jiangling, it took a full year of fighting to capture it. If Li Shimin hadn¡¯t come to create a center, it would have been difficult to break through.
Li Shimin had already arranged for Li Daozong, Dugu Yanyun and others to lurk outside the city. After the city gate opened, they immediately led their troops to the city gate.
Soon, Li Tang's army swept across the city.
When Xiao Mian learned about Li Shimin's sudden attack, he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth in shock for a moment. He was a little confused. He had already agreed to Li Shimin's request and only asked for a few days of grace. Why did Li Shimin suddenly attack?
The panicked Xiao Mian immediately sent people to quell the chaos at the city gate. He knew that the Tang army was good at fighting. Once all the Tang troops poured in, the whole of Jiangling would be over.
After arranging everyone, only Xiao Mian was left. Xiao Mian rubbed his hands, full of anxiety and uneasiness. He didn't know if he could defeat Li Shimin, and he didn't know what to do after Xiao Liang and Li Tang fell out.
At this moment, a servant came to report that Xiao Liu, the king of Yuzhang, came to see him.
King Xiao Liu of Yuzhang, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan, and the son of King Xiao Dong of Yuzhang. Xiao Liu was born in the third year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign and is thirty-six years old this year. His father Xiao Dong died thirty years after he was born.
The identity of King Xiao Dong of Yuzhang is quite special. He is the eldest great-great-grandson of the eldest son of Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan, and the true heir of Nan Liang. However, Xiao Dong's father Xiao Huan and grandfather Xiao Tong died early, and Xiao Dong lost his inheritance rights. Later, Xiao Yan committed suicide, which led to Hou Jing's Rebellion and the Southern Liang Chaos. Several puppets were supported successively. Xiao Dong became the third emperor of Southern Liang after his uncle Xiao Gang was deposed by Hou Jing. After Hou Jing usurped the throne, Xiao Dong was demoted to King Huaiyin and imprisoned in a secret room. After the Hou Jing Rebellion ended, Xiao Dong escaped, but he and his two brothers were killed by Emperor Xiao Yi of Liang Yuan.
The Xiao Huan lineage is now extinct.
But thirty years later, before his death, Emperor Liang Ming Xiao Kui, the son of Xiao Huan's younger brother Xiao Jin, suddenly thought that his long-dead uncle had no descendants, so he selected a three-year-old child from the Xiao family and named him Yu. King Zhang, as a descendant of Xiao Huan, is Xiao Liu. After entering the Sui Dynasty, Xiao Liu served as Suizhou's military official and Neihuang county magistrate.
After Xiao Mian rebelled, Xiao Liu fled back to Jingxiang and was named King of Yuzhang by Xiao Mian and granted the title of Sikong.
Xiao Liu is a man of courage, strong character and strategy. He is one of the few capable people among the descendants of the Xiao family. It's a pity that although Xiao MianXiao Liu was appointed as a high-ranking official, but because of his status, he did not dare to reuse this uncle who was younger than him.
When Li Shimin breached the gate of Jiangling City, Xiao Liu was at home. After hearing the news, he didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he rode on his horse and headed to the palace.
When Xiao Mian saw Xiao Liu, who was a little sick and rushed to seek medical treatment, he directly asked: "Uncle, Li Shimin has entered the city, how can we defend against the enemy?"
Xiao Liu said directly: "Emperor, please break out of the encirclement!"
Xiao Mian was stunned, what kind of idea is this? This is Jiangling, so just give up.
Xiao Liu said directly: "Li Tang was good at fighting, and Li Shimin occupied the west gate, so Li Tang's troops could enter the city continuously. Today, there are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangling City, and most of them are old and weak. The emperor thinks that we can stop them. Can you live with Li Shimin?"
强牺 kanzongyi.cc 读牺。 Xiao Mian said unwillingly: "But there is still a palace The city can be relied upon!¡±
This time 75 zw .c om Zhang Si. "With no food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside, what's the use of the emperor just defending the inner city? Does the emperor think there will be reinforcements to help Jiangling?"
Hearing this, Xiao Mian took two steps back, staggered, and sat directly on the ground.
"Heaven mourns me!"
Seeing this, Xiao Liu stepped forward directly, pulled Xiao Mian up and said, "The emperor must not be discouraged at this time. The Jingnan states are still in my hands. The emperor goes to Jiangnan to recruit troops, and there may not be no chance of returning to Jiangling."
After hearing this, Xiao Mian was about to say something, but was discouraged again.
It¡¯s okay not to mention the situation in Jingnan.
Xiao Liu added: "If the emperor feels that it is difficult to defend the enemy and is unable to recover, it is better to use the land of Jingnan as a bargaining chip to surrender to the Sui Dynasty in exchange for peace and wealth."
Xiao Mian was stunned.
Xiao Liu said: "Today, Li Shimin used deceit to betray his allies, which is an act of outrage from both humans and gods. In the future, Li and Tang will not last long. This world belongs to Duke Wei. And Duke Wei has always respected Empress Dowager Wu Yi (Empress Xiao, Huang Mingyuan) The honorable empress who gave me to Empress Xiao) will definitely leave a way for my Xiao family to survive."
Control the big one and control the owl. Xiao Mian nodded.
"Xiao Xian was not a determined person to begin with. To this day, all his great ambitions have long been in vain with this defeat.
Surrendering to the Sui Dynasty may be a good choice
