Chapter 82 Report to the People of Quanzhang

The pregnant woman wrapped her head and half of her face in a dirty cloth, her face turned pale, she kept crying, and her body trembled hard in the car.

When he arrived at the city gate guarding the gate, the pregnant woman screamed again, her body twitched rapidly, and pointed at the evil man who was pushing the cart, and shouted loudly: "It hurts so much, Liu Xiaoniu, you are happy, but you hurt me so much, I can't spare you when you look back." She spoke in a pure Quanzhou dialect.

The husband Liu Xiaoniu, who was pushing the cart, looked embarrassed and desperately bowed to the soldier who was giggling and laughing, begged, "June, we are from Xiao'an Village, my wife is about to give birth, and my stomach hurts so much. The midwife in the village has something to do and left the village. You can let us go to the city to find a good doctor."

"Who is this person in Xiao'an Village in front of Xishan?" the soldier stopped laughing and asked another man with a knife.

Liu Xiaoniu timidly moved away from the tip of the knife, wiped the sweat from his face, and said with a flattering smile: "Yes, it's that Xiao'an Village, this is my cousin Liu Xiaoshuan."

The soldier casually glanced at the car, and found nothing, and smiled and said, "You two brothers, if they are combined, they are called Shuanniu. This name is so smooth." Haha, the soldier waved his hand and let it go.

Liu Xiaoniu and Liu Xiaoshuan said thank you Jun Ye desperately, and pushed the cart and walked towards the city quickly.

Not long after walking, the car turned into an alley. Zhang Jiao, who pretended to be a pregnant woman, looked at the left and right, jumped out of the car, reached into her arms, took out a semi-circular belly condom, took out six pots and handed them to Luo Xing, and said softly: "This is the last batch of secret weapons that Lord Lin asked to bring in. Hurry up to the base, so that they must take it lightly."

Luo Xing nodded, and carefully put the clay pot into a bag and slowly tied it to his waist.

"Liu Xiaoniu" is named Chen Tong. He is the commander who has been following Chen Desheng in the special forces team. He smiled and said to Zhang Jiao, "Madam, aren't you going back with me?"

Zhang Jiao glared at her eyes, scaring Chen Tong to take a step back.

"Stop talking, pay attention to hiding your signs when you go back. I'll meet you later." Zhang Jiao put down her face, waved her hands to the two of them, walked away quickly, and disappeared deep in the alley.

On the morning of March 19, 20,000 Houzhou soldiers drawn from Xijing Luoyang, Mengzhou and Huaizhou gathered at the city of Jinzhou with a large number of ordnances, and the second round of bloody siege was about to begin.

On the same morning, 40,000 Southern Han troops suddenly crossed the border state and surrounded Wuzhou again. After leaving 10,000 soldiers besieged the city, the remaining 30,000 soldiers were divided into two groups, 10,000 troops killed Mengzhou, 20,000 troops rushed to Hezhou, and the wars rose again in the Guizhou area.

On the afternoon of March 19th, Shen Times (3:00), the governor of the Qingyuan Jieyuan Liu Congxiao received an urgent report from Yongchun's defenders. The Jianzhou army was coming fiercely and had already captured Datian and was about to encircle Yongchun. The 10,000 troops stationed in Dehua were already in the encirclement of the Jianzhou army.

At the 5th hour of the afternoon (five o'clock), there was another urgent report on Quanzhou's western front. The Jianzhou army directly killed Yongchun City regardless of casualties. Yongchun City was afraid it would not be saved.

At the same time, war reports came from the eastern front that the Quanzhou navy had some contact with the Chu and Tang army and exchanged two warships for the other three warships, but due to the huge difference in number, they were still on the defensive.

Liu Congxiao was eager to attack his heart and was about to summon the Zhangzhou garrison to go north to rescue him, but Zhangzhou urgently arrived first. The traces of soldiers from the Southern Tang Dynasty appeared in Changtai, Nanjing, Pinghe and other counties around Zhangzhou. They attacked the local government office on a small scale and scattered some paper everywhere. The urgently reported also attached a captured paper pattern.

When Liu Congxiao saw the content on the paper, he was immediately angry and cursed: "This is slander, it is a rumor."

The content on the paper is a "Letter to the People of Quanzhou and Zhangzhou". The article simply and bluntly stated that the Tang Dynasty was unparalleled and righteous. In order to protect the people of Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, the Qingyuan army was particularly allowed to arbitrarily in the local government affairs. After taking Chu last year, the Tang Dynasty intended to extend the three-year policy of exempting taxes and rents implemented in Chu to Quanzhou and Zhangzhou. However, the Qingyuan Jiedushi Liu Congxiao secretly deducted this order without issuing it. It continued to impose heavy taxes, draw blood from the people, and raise a large number of troops to protect the ill-behaved their families. The content finally called on the general public to see the soldiers who were wolves who were liar to see Liu Congxiao clearly and not to offer their own property and sacrifice their precious lives for such hypocrites.

Subsequently, the exact same printed "propaganda leaflets" were handed over from counties and towns around Quanzhou. News came from Yongchun, which had fallen, that the Southern Tang army did not disturb the people after the occupation. It had announced that it had been exempted from Yongchun's quota for three years. Datian heard that the same was true.

When Liu Congxiao heard this news, he immediately felt like he couldn't breathe. Nan Tang's moves were cruel this time, and he was really useless.

Liu Congxian, who had been calming down, ordered the local area to find similar papers again and immediately destroy them, and declared that their content was purely rumor. Zhu Liu Shaochi led two thousand Liu family soldiers to patrol the city of Quanzhou. When they found similar papers, they immediately confiscated them, and monitored the movements of various cities and cities. Zhu Liujudao led the remaining 1,000 Liu family soldiers to surround the Prime Minister's Mansion and beware of the raid of the Southern Tang Special Forces.

On the evening of March 19, the two soldiers from Nanhan who entered the Guiguan area were staying overnight and heard all kinds of birds, insects, and beasts roaring around the surrounding mountain soldiers. The sound was extremely miserable, which made everyone feel a little nervous and basically didn't have a good rest overnight.

On March 20, on the way forward, soldiers from both sides of the South Han soldiers were constantly injured by traps and poisonous arrows. Although there were not many people lost, they seriously affected the morale of the army, and the soldiers' progress also slowed down a lot.

On March 20, the 20th day of March 20, the 20,000 Houzhou Army divided into four teams to attack Jinzhou City, set up a catapult cart, set up a ladder, pushed earth and rocks from afar, smashed the city walls, crossed the trenches, and filled the passages. They launched six waves of advances in succession. After sacrificing more than 3,000 people, they finally reached the second trenches. The Beihan soldiers who fought to the death cooperated with the archers on the top of the city and the small catapults to control the drivers, formed a three-dimensional defense net below the city of Jinzhou City, and killed nearly a thousand Houzhou soldiers at once. Wang Yan, who was commanding the battle, observed for a long time and found that the attack frequency on the city had no tendency to decay at all, so he had to stop the attack. If he fought again, he would die in vain. He could not fight.

On the 20th, Liu Congxiao, who was in Quanzhou City, received bad news from the western front again. Nearly 20,000 Jianzhou soldiers surrounded Nan'an City, less than 30 miles away from Quanzhou City. The same is true on the eastern front. Chu and Tang warships launched the first large-scale attack. Quanzhou naval warships destroyed twenty, and now only nineteen intact warships are left. Zhanzhao Du Commander Liu Qingyu has already carried some of the soldiers stationed in Xiagong. Shaxiang was on board and prepared to fight the Chu and Tang warships on the death row.

At the end of the 20th, Liu Congxiao received reports from the four gates of Quanzhou. After one or two strong troops attacked their patrol soldiers, they raided their camp. Although the number of visitors was small, they were very good at offense and defense, and they were very difficult to deal with. They retreated into the night after the raid.

Subsequently, the guards guarding the city wall reported urgently. Elite soldiers were found raiding the city walls everywhere. In some areas, soldiers had already rushed up to the city walls and retreated calmly. Liu Shaochi also sent people to report. A large amount of publicity paper was found on the city walls and beside the city walls, and they were trying to recover them.
