"Grandpa."

When the banquet was lively, an elderly old land was struggling to stand beside Zu Ban. Zu Ban hurriedly pulled him into his seat.

Lao Mingtu couldn't help but praise: "I heard the name of my ancestors for a long time and met today. It is really worthy of being famous.

Great appearance, different from ordinary people...\n."

Zu Ban listened to the other party's praise for a long time, but did not interrupt him.

After the other party finished playing, Zu Ban began to praise him. Although Zu Ban didn't know who he was at all, this did not hinder Zu Ban's appreciation of him.

The two of them admired each other for a long time. Old Mingtu frowned and said solemnly: "Grandpa, these Bashu passes are steep, easy to defend but difficult to attack, which is really worrying."

"oh?"

"I wonder what my father-in-law wants to teach me?"

The old famous scholar said seriously: "You don't know that Yuwen Xian is a cruel guy who used to pretend to behave and can treat us with etiquette. But this time, his nature was exposed. Previously, the four hermits from Shu went to find him and discussed major events with him, but he was beheaded for no reason... This action made the people of Bashu panic."

"I heard about this, but I really didn't expect that Yuwen Xian's evil deeds would be endless! People and gods are angry!"

The old famous man nodded, he stroked his beard, "But, this thief is good at winning over the morale of the army, and his soldiers in the army,

They were all bewitched by him and were willing to fight for him. It was not easy to open the city gate from inside."

"However, I have many old friends in Bashu. These people are quite kind in the local area and have some friendships with local officials."

According to the law, officials cannot be officials in their hometowns, but the good thing is that the Zhou State is that there are many states he divided into. If it were in ancient times, such a large land belonged to Yizhou, and the people of Yizhou could not be officials in Yizhou. But now,

All the places are states. If you can't be an official in your hometown, then you can go to your neighbor's house to become an official. Anyway, some loopholes can be exploited.

The old famous scholar whispered: "I am willing to help the great man and persuade these old friends to submit!"

"But I don't know if this will happen..."

Zu Ban hurriedly held his hand, "Oh, if this is possible, it would be great! If you want them to surrender, I can promise that after the matter is completed, everyone will be retained and their clan will be preserved. In addition, after I personally conquer the merits of the army, I will go to the Imperial College in Yecheng for my disciples...:..."

There was no sign of excitement on the old celebrity's face, but he just repeated the difficulty.

Zu Ban tugged him a few times. After getting Zu Ban's promises, the old celebrity finally gritted his teeth.

Show that you must do your best!

After this old famous scholar, other famous scholars also talked to Zu Ban one after another.

At present, Yuwen Xian is guarding the important road, but this does not mean that the two sides can no longer communicate. There are many roads, but the army cannot pass. In addition, these large tribes, especially those who are in marriage, will train carrier pigeons. The efficiency of delivering letters in two fixed cities is much better than that of cavalry.

Zu Ban made a lot of things with these people.

Wei Xiaokuan also understood that the purpose of Zu Ban bringing him here was nothing more than to show the 'achieve', so he also spared no effort to praise the emperor's many kindnesses he had given to him after his surrender.

"kill!!"

"Puff~~""

Outside Jiange, the Han army launched a fierce attack.

Yuwen Xian personally stood on the city wall and fought against the Han army.

With Yu Wen Xian in person, the soldiers were able to maintain morale. With the advantage of the terrain, Liu Taozi's army began to suffer for the first time and could no longer be as powerful as before.

However, Liu Taozi is not the one who gives up easily.

He once again adopted the previous method of attacking Hanzhong, allowing the army to rotate and attack without giving the opponent a chance to breathe.

The shouts of killing sounded every day, and it continued.

The throwing carts were launched again and again, and the surrounding area of ​​Chengguan was covered with gravel.

The houses of the two armies were almost piled up into mountains and blood was like a river.

This battle was quite tragic. Yuwen Xian already knew in his heart that he could no longer escape. If he evacuated, the Zhou Kingdom would be completely finished. Therefore, he focused all his attention on defending the city, and the casualties of the soldiers became heavier and heavier. Of course, the same was true for the deaths and injuries of the Han army. The generals under Yuwen Xian began to suffer frequent casualties, but Yuwen Xian always kept the reserve service.

On several occasions, the enemy almost broke through the city gates, and he asked the reserves to step forward, the new force joined, and then he defeated the enemy.

Both sides fought in Jiange for more than 20 days, and the more they fought, the more fierce they became.

They seemed to be fighting morale, and it depends on which side collapsed first.

Yuwen Xian was very tough. He followed the soldiers to defend the city during the day, and motivated those who were meritorious at night, and ate and lived with the soldiers. The soldiers were all willing to fight to the death.

Liu Taozi's side is not weak either. Under Zu Ban's mobilization, Qian Shenliang and other material resources continued to come from the rear, and at the same time, a newly trained army was also coming as a supplement to the troops.

At this time, Gao had already left Jiange with his men. He went back a little, and wanted to appease his rear. When Gao returned, he immediately realized that something was going to happen.

Because Gao Tuo ordered the summoning of several famous lands in the local area, these famous lands actually ran away.

Gao Dian sent someone to search, but no one could tell where they were hiding.

Gao Ying's sudden action caused the people who were conspiring behind to be in chaos. They thought Gao had already known about them and came to capture them this time. Without waiting for Gao to take any action, the rebellion quickly began.

Meizhou Zizhou launched rebellions one after another. Li Cheng, a famous scholar in Meizhou, suddenly took action at the banquet, killed the governor, gathered the civil servants in the city, and shouted to surrender to the Han Dynasty.

Zizhou then responded and rebelled against Zhou and surrendered to Han.

Suspicious and horrified, he quickly sent someone to tell Yang Jian who was escorting the emperor back, asking him to stop immediately and not go to the hinterland, and asked him to take the emperor to temporarily go to Jiangyou and set up defenses there.

After the rebellion of the two prefectures, the rest of the counties responded quickly.

For a moment, Bashu was in chaos, the food route was cut off, the emperor could not advance, and the troops and food that helped the front line could not be sent.

Gao thought that Yuwen Xian's behavior might cause rebellion among these people, but he did not expect that these people were so straightforward and did things so quickly, without any delay, and would just say anything!

And the most terrifying news is that Yong'an surrendered to Gao Changgong.

If this is the case along the way, Gao Changgong can directly kill through the hinterland and capture the emperor alive.

Yuwen Xian was fighting hard on the front line, and when he received the battle report from the rear, he couldn't help but feel dark.

Fortunately, Yang Jian was still protecting the emperor, and Gao Ying was actively contacting his confidants to prepare to quell the rebellion.

In the letter, Gao Tie told Yuwen Xian not to worry, and he would calm down as soon as possible.

Gao Dian summoned several local confidants and asked them to go to quell the Meizhou rebellion. Gao Ying believed that if defensive measures were taken at the moment, it would only intensify the rebellion in various places, resulting in more and more participants. Only by taking the initiative and taking the lead and dealing with those who followed the rebellion can the rest be awakened.

At this moment, another bad news came, and Hu Luxian conquered Wudu.

Wudu was originally short of troops, and he became an isolated city and had no morale. Liu Taozi also sent troops to assist. Under Huluxian's long-term attack, Wudu finally couldn't stand it. Yan Qing was shot and died in the city.

The other generals continued to flee.

Hu Luxian rectified the troops and then continued to attack in the direction of Pingxing.

late at night.

The bonfire in the military camp shook back and forth with the strong wind Yuwen Xian sat tiredly among the many soldiers. He now did not live in the house and lived with the soldiers.

In the bonfire, he could vaguely see his deep fatigue from the inside out, and he could hardly bear it.

Bad news comes one after another.

The Zhou Kingdom was already running towards the direction of destruction, and Yuwen Xian felt powerless.

Even Gao Ying's strategy was successful, and he blocked Liu Taozi's army here, and Gao Changgong's side probably couldn't stop it.

I dare not divide the troops, and I am not sent enough to all places, so I may not be able to take office smoothly if I send it.

And the Chen people, they have not taken any action yet.

Should they watch the Han Kingdom destroy the Zhou Kingdom?

Aren’t they afraid that the next one will be their turn?

Yuwen Xian had a very bad headache.

But when he saw the silent soldiers around him, he still had to squeeze out some smiles.

"Liu Taozi has been fighting with us for more than 40 days, and countless casualties!"

"Today, he even began to send new soldiers to participate in the war, which shows that he was injured and could not fight again!"

"We only need to resist for a few more days, and he will definitely withdraw!"

"At that time, we will be able to recover the lost land, and you can also leave your name in history for this achievement!"

The generals smiled but didn't say anything. They had been listening to this sentence for a long time.

The Han army probably knew what the Zhou people thought, so when there was enough food, they continued to attack. They would rather pay a huge price than chew Yuwen Xian down, leaving no way out for themselves.

Under this level of fierce attack, the Zhou army struggled to resist, and his morale was shaking, relying on Yuwen Xian to force it.

Yuwen Xian inspired him for a long time, then called the guard and went up to the city wall again.

The Han army had more bonfires and brighter, just like stars in the sky falling on the ground.

Yuwen Xian stared at the enemy's camp, and the strong smell of blood forced his fatigue to relieve his sense of fatigue.

Liu Taozi...: Can you still withstand it??

Han army camp.

The soldiers sat in front of the campfire in three or three, their faces were equally tired.

Compared to their appearance when they first set out on the war, their morale was indeed much lower.
To be continued...
