Yongcheng is surrounded by mountains on three sides to the east, west and north, and extends eastward with the Weihe River as its central axis. For more excitement, please visit uruo mountain hills and forests, accounting for more than three-quarters, is a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The army marched to a place twenty miles away from the walls of Yongcheng, and the spies returned. The spies told Yun Qing the surname of the general who guarded Yongcheng was Xie Junxiong.
After hearing the name, Yu Cong said: "General, this person has never heard of it. It seems that Ji Xuan is no one to use!" Although Yongcheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is no good general to defend the city. It's still easy to beat.
Yu Cong’s view is exactly the opposite of Cui Mo's. He said, “Ji Xuan and his men are unpopular, so letting them defend the city is our advantage. This Xie Junxiong, who has never heard of, is not very good at dealing with it.”
Yuan Ying said: "General, I think I should send someone to see this Xie Junxiong." Feng Dajun is now in charge of this Lanzhou city, and there is a shortage of manpower here, so he rushed over. Yuan Ying would make this suggestion because he thought that if Xie Junxiong knew the current affairs, he should surrender. They sent envoys, if the other party agreed to avoid unnecessary casualties, if they refused, it would not be too late to attack the city.
Cui Mo disagreed, and said, "Even if this Xie Junxiong is a little bit weak, but we have a hundred thousand army, are you afraid that he will not succeed?"
Yu Cong looked at Yun Qing and said, "General, what do you mean?" Yu Cong only obeyed Yun Qing's instructions, and he wouldn't care about other people's words.
Before Yun Qing could express his opinion, he heard the guard outside say that Ding Qingyu would like to see him. Ding Qingyu does have medical skills, but he can only heal some simple injuries.
Come to find him at this time, there must be something wrong. Yun Qing said, "Let him in." See what information Ding Qingyu can provide him.
Ding Qingyu is here to tell Yun Qing about Xie Junxiong's details: "General, Xie Junxiong is a person from Gaocheng. This year he is thirty-five. This person is not only brave in battle, but also good at planning." This evaluation is considered very high.
Cui Mo obviously didn't believe Ding Qingyu's words, and said, "If he is so powerful, we have never heard of him."
Ding Qingyu cleared his throat and said, "Xie Junxiong’s successor is Zhang Wenjie’s niece. Ji Xuan and Zhang Wenjie are rivals, how can they reuse him? Under this situation, Xie Junxiong still climbed to the third-rank position, do you think How capable is this person?"
Cui Mo raised his voice and said, "That's probably because this person will slap a horse!"
Yun Qing directly ignored Cui Mo's words, and asked, "In which battles did this person make a contribution?" If a guerrilla general of the third rank is promoted by military merit, it really should not be underestimated.
Ding Qingyu elaborated on Xie Junxiong's background. Xie Junxiong is the heir of the Xie family of Gaocheng. Xie family is a family of military commanders and has deep roots in the northwest. At that time, Zhang Wenjie married his niece to Xie Junxiong as his successor, in order to win over the family: "Xie Junxiong began to accumulate military merits by suppressing bandits, and then stayed in Xihai for three years. He made a lot of military merits and promoted quickly In the big battle eight years ago, he was promoted to two levels in a row.” Civil officials are not the same as military officials. It is a remarkable event that civil servants are promoted to two levels. It is estimated that all the people in the world will know about it. In the army, as long as you have accumulated enough military merit, you will rise quickly. Otherwise, Yun Qing wouldn't be able to climb to the second-tier position at the age of twenty-four.
Yun Qing remembered the battle more clearly, and said, "I remember that the leader of the battle was Ji Xuan, right?"
Ding Qingyu said: "It was Ji Xuan who led the army, but Xie Junxiong was one of the lieutenants at the time. It was also at that time that Ji Xuan hadn't fully established his footing, so he sold his family for a bit of face, and when Ji Xuan got his footing, he began to suppress him. Xie family. But Xie family is a century-old clan, and the Xie family also knows and knows their interests so that they can survive until now." This was Ji Xuan's most beautiful time, and it was also the time that allowed Ji Xuan to gain a firm foothold in the northwest.
Yun Qing's face was very ugly, and he said, "I remember the battle with Tubo eight years ago, our army lost 110,000 talents. This is considered a victory?" At that time, Tubo dispatched 80,000 troops, but they were ten dead. Ten thousand people. It is a bullshit victory that is piled up with the flesh and blood of soldiers.
Ding Qingyu's mouth twitched when Yun Qing said about our army. It's no wonder that Yun Qing didn't wait to see the three of their brothers, because they didn't think he was a traitor at all, but he still regarded himself as a general!
Ding Qingyu coughed, and said, "Ji Xuan actually took a name, and it was Leng Dufeng, Dai Xingguang, Xie Junxiong and others who really fought."
Yuan Ying was suspicious and asked, "Why are you so clear about Xie Junxiong's details?" This Ding Qingyu is by no means kind.
Ding Qingyu smiled and said, "Not only this Xie Junxiong, there is no one I don't know about the top ranking in Shaanxi Province." This is his capital and his confidence.
Yun Qing doesn't like Ding Qingyu very much, but at this point, it doesn't matter who it is, as long as it is used, it is enough: "Then do you think we should attack or persuade us to surrender?"
Ding Qingyu's eyes lit up. He didn't come to Yun Qing to be a military doctor, but wanted to be Yun Qing's counselor. Ding Qingyu suppressed the joy in his heart, and said calmly: "First persuade you to surrender, then attack."
Cui Mo said, "What do you mean? Are you so sure that Xie Junxiong will not surrender? What if he really surrenders?"
Ding Qingyu shook his head and said: "Impossible. Xie Junxiong is a very arrogant person. It is impossible to surrender without starting a fight. Even if he agrees to surrender, it must be false."
Cui Mo said: "Then send someone to persuade the surrender to do? Why not attack the city directly? There is no time to waste?" Their time is also very precious!
Ding Qingyu smiled and said, "Xie Junxiong is a very arrogant person, but the people around him are not." Xie Junxiong's reluctance to surrender does not mean that the people around him do not want to surrender. After all, the Northwest Army has a bad reputation, and there are 100,000 troops, and the other generals in Yongcheng are not sure that they will be able to hold the city. Rather than persuading Jie Junxiong to surrender, he actually shakes the people around Jie Junxiong.
Yuan Ying frowned and said, "Who should I send to persuade you to surrender?" It is okay to let them fight, but they can't do such a difficult thing to persuade them to surrender.
Ding Qingyu clasped his fists in both hands and said to Yun Qing, "Ding is not talented, and I would like to go to Yongcheng to persuade Xie Junxiong to surrender."
Cui Mo sneered and said, "You are not afraid of death." If Xie Junxiong killed Ding Qingyu in anger, he would have died unjustly.
Ding Qingyu said with a smile: "The two armies are fighting, and they don't cut the enemy. I believe that Xie Junxiong will not be so characterless." If you don't do anything, how can you win Yun Qing's trust with just a mouth.
Yun Qing nodded and said: "If you have any conditions, please mention it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you." If there is no agreement, he will attack the city directly. Time is precious, and we must seize the northwest before the imperial army arrives.
Ding Qingyu made no request: "I can set off now."
Yuan Ying stood up and said, "I'll go with you." He wanted to take the opportunity to check the deployment of Yongcheng, and they would also have an advantage at that time.
Ding Qingyu shook his head and said, "You will know that your status is not low when you go out. It won't be appropriate to detain you in the army at that time." He is an insignificant person. Even if Xie Junxiong is detained, Yun Qing will not take him. Postpone the time of siege.
An hour later, Ding Qingyu returned. Cui Mo hurriedly asked, "What did Xie Junxiong say? Are you willing to surrender?"
Ding Qingyu shook his head and said: "Then Xie Junxiong said, surrender is fine, but you have to enter the city to talk to him." Unless Yun Qing's brain teased, he would agree to enter the city alone.
Yun Qing said: "Let the soldiers rest well, and attack the city early tomorrow." If it is too late today, the soldiers have been running around for a few days, take a good rest and recharge their energy.
On the second day, the sky was light, and the Northwest Army began to attack the city. After fighting for a day, Yongcheng was finally captured at the cost of more than 8,000 casualties. Xie Junxiong did not run away like Leng Bufeng and Chen Wei, let alone surrendered, fighting until the last moment before he fell down.
The reason why Yucheng could not be held was not Xie Junxiong's problem, but that the soldiers at the bottom had lost confidence in the court and Ji Xuan. And they had received the news before, knowing that Yun Qing would not only not kill the prisoners, but would also entangle the soldiers who wanted to go home. Coupled with the extremely fierce fighting of the Northwest Army, no one is willing to fight for their lives in this situation. The soldiers didn't work hard, and the generals couldn't be used no matter how powerful they were. The ability to last for a day was enough to prove that Xie Junxiong was powerful.
When Yun Qing heard this, he said, "General Thick Burial Jie." This is the real soldier, someone Yun Qing respects.
Cui Mo responded: "Yes." He also respected Xie Junxiong. Along the way, he met several generals who were all under Ji Xuan, but he didn't pay attention to any of them. Today I finally saw a real soldier, letting him know that there were no generals who could fight in the Northwest, but that he was buried.
Yun Qing looked at Ding Qingyu and said, "What do you want?" If you recommend yourself to the door, you must have a plan, otherwise, you will not risk your life to persuade Xie Junxiong.
Ding Qingyu said: "I want to follow the general." Follow Yun Qing to make contributions. A hero is born in troubled times. Although Yun Qing has many shortcomings, he looks good at Yun Qing.
Yun Qing had already let go, as long as he could do it, he would not refuse: "Yes, but I don't keep useless people by my side." If you want to stay by his side, you can't do it without real ability.
Ding Qingyu proudly said: "General, whether it's useful or not is not just a matter of words, but something to do." Now it's just the first step to make Yun Qing completely believe in him, and there is still a long time to go. The way to go.
It takes only two and a half days to reach the road from Yongcheng to Gaocheng for four hundred miles. Ding Qingyu asked: "General, we should take advantage of the victory and pursue it."
Yun Qing was silent for a while, and asked Ding Qingyu: "You have a map from Yongcheng to Haocheng." The map is a very important thing.
Ding Qingyu shook his head and said, "I don't have a map, but I have walked three times from here to Haocheng, and I have some impressions along the way.
Yun Qing said, "Then you go back and write down everything you remember!" If you don't know this section of the road, it won't be good if there is an ambush.
