Cao Tiancheng and Li Sheng stood on the city wall, listening to the noisy voices in the Sui military camp opposite, feeling a little puzzled and a little panicked.
Having besieged the city for so long, they have long become helpless and can no longer stand the slightest disturbance.
"A great victory? What great victory? The Sui army won again?"
Cao Tiancheng's heart kept churning, the Chu army had not even left the city these days, so the Sui army's great victory could not have been gained from Liang Jun.
The Sui army did not make the Chu army suspicious for long. Soon the Sui army hung Wan Zan's head on a pole and announced it around Yuzhang City, along with the captured Zhang Xiu's banner.
After fighting with Liang Jun for so long, the Chu army is still familiar with some of Liang Jun's leading figures. The commander-in-chief Da Zhen was captured, and the generals at the king level were killed. The Liang army had to suffer such a defeat that the Sui army could achieve this result.
The Chu army in the city could not sit still.
At this time, Zhang Si. Although Lin Shihong held back his composure and kept shouting that "Yuzhang City cannot be broken", it was obvious that the Chu army generals in the city did not think so.
From Cao Tiancheng down, the generals of the Chu army were frightened.
So General Chen Su suggested to Lin Shihong whether he could find a way to break out of the encirclement. Now it is obvious that Yuzhang is a dead city, and if we continue to be trapped here, we will definitely face a dead end. It would be better to break out and fight in the south of Jiangzhou. There might be a way out.
The land in southern Jiangxi is mountainous, which is suitable for guerrilla warfare.
Cao Tiancheng had a different opinion. At this point, they must not be able to defeat the Sui army. It would be better to take this opportunity to surrender directly to the Sui Dynasty. This would also give them a different way of life. After all, they would have to go through ravines, cross jungles, and pass through savages. Cao Tiancheng didn't want to live an ordinary life.
Cao Tiancheng¡¯s suggestion won the support of many people, especially Li Sheng.
Li Sheng is Li Qiang¡¯s younger brother and has a prominent position in the military.
Lin Shihong didn't want to surrender. He was obsessed and felt that he still had a chance to make a comeback. He planned to break out from Yuzhang and go to the counties in Lingnan. His younger brother Lin Yaoshi was moving to fight in Lingnan. He still had a large territory in Lingnan and he had not lost yet.
But what Lin Shihong didn't know was that Lin Yaoshi had died in Xunzhou long ago, or was killed by Yang Shilue, the general manager of Xunzhou who had surrendered to Lin Shihong. As for Feng An, the general manager of Gaozhou who nominally surrendered to him, he was a local snake. He surrendered to Lin Shihong just to keep a low profile. If Lin Shihong really went over, he would die within three days.
Lin Shihong asked Chen Su to organize the only army in the city to prepare for a breakout.
And Cao Tiancheng was not willing to leave just like that.
After breaking through, the future is uncertain. The key is that Lin Shihong doesn't trust him and doesn't give him any rights, so what's the point of following Lin Shihong to break out.
Cao Tiancheng thought about how to escape, and finally made up his mind to open the door and ask for surrender. He dedicated Lin Shihong to the Sui Dynasty. He could still make meritorious service. How could he not get the position of prefect or county magistrate with the Sui army.
Cao Tianben had no loyalty to Lin Shihong.
Even the entire Cao family.
To put it bluntly, the Cao family believed that the emperor should have been made by the Cao family, but it was the Cao family who gave it to Lin Shihong. And Lin Shihong is not only ungrateful, but also suppresses the Cao family, and is a white-eyed wolf.
From Lin Shihong¡¯s point of view, he was ordered to help the Cao family carry the thunder in the face of danger. Why should he be inferior to your Cao family?
It can be said that throughout the entire Lin Chu regime, the conflicts between Lin Shihong and the Cao family have never stopped.
It became a matter of course that Cao Tiancheng was going to be cruel to Lin Shihong.
"But Lin Shihong didn't trust Cao Tiancheng either and was on guard for a long time. Since Cao Tiancheng followed him into Yuzhang City, he has not handed over any military power to the other party. Cao Tiancheng wanted to cause trouble, but he didn't have the ability.
Cao Tiancheng¡¯s military ability is not very good, but his communication skills are not bad. Coupled with Cao Shiqi¡¯s legacy, he has great prestige and influence within Lin Chu¡¯s small regime.
Cao Tiancheng couldn¡¯t do anything on his own, so he dragged others into doing it together.
Li Sheng is Li Qiang¡¯s younger brother and Lin Chu¡¯s general.
The brothers of the Li family tend to support family affairs and are staunch supporters of family affairs. Lin Shihong originally wanted to replace Li Sheng, but Li Qiang had just died in Jiangbei, so he couldn't do it, so he postponed it until today.
Seeing that there was no future for following Lin Shihong at this time, Li Sheng agreed to Cao Tiancheng's plan to mutiny.
The two of them recruited many people together and acted with them.
Lin Shihong was injured during the last battle at Sanyuan Mountain, and he hasn¡¯t recovered well since. Lin Chu's star withered, and those who could survive were dead or captured. Because Lin Shihong was seriously ill, he had to hand over his power to general Lin Shen and Tang Ye's younger brother Tang Mang.
But Lin Shihong did not expect that neither the generals of the same clanNeither Lin Shen nor Tang Mang were willing to follow his path into darkness.
Especially Tang Mang, whose brother Tang Ye was almost completely killed by Lin Shihong. He has long been dissatisfied with Lin Shihong.
So that night, Cao Tiancheng and Li Qiang launched a mutiny, and Lin Shen and Tang Mang, who had the power, turned to Cao Tiancheng.
Because of the betrayal of his trusted generals, Lin Shihong did not discover the mutiny until Cao Tiancheng and his men forced him to Lin Shihong's palace.
Lin Shihong was a little panicked and said angrily: "Fuck Tiancheng, what do you want to do?"
Cao Tiancheng sneered contemptuously: "Lin Shihong, you asked me what I wanted to do? I asked you what you wanted to do? After the death of the late king, you used your rhetoric to seize the throne. You should have led your brothers to make achievements. But you are so happy to achieve success, but you And because of your incompetence, more than 100,000 Yuzhang athletes died in the battle in Huainan. Instead of dying in Huainan and martyring the country, you had the nerve to abandon the team and escape back. How can a person like you be worthy of being the emperor? The Sui Dynasty troops are approaching the city, and Yuzhang can no longer be defended. , you insist on going your own way, resisting the heavenly soldiers for your own dream of being emperor, causing our army to be defeated one after another, causing mourning all over the land, and people in ruins. I would like to ask you, how cruel you are to want to kill all the sons of Yuzhang. "
Hearing Cao Tiancheng's accusation, Lin Shihong calmed down. He looked at Cao Tiancheng coldly and said, "You want to surrender to the Sui army?"
"As you can see!"
Lin Shihong whispered: "If you surrender, you can say it, it has to be like this. It is better for us to surrender together, and we can also get more favors from the Sui people."
Lin Shihong didn¡¯t want to die either.
Cao Tiancheng laughed "haha" after hearing this.
"Lin Shihong, we surrender, we have already prepared gifts, so you don't need to worry!"
Cao Tiancheng walked up to Lin Shihong with a knife in hand and said, "For the sake of our relationship between the king and his ministers, just do it yourself."
Control the big one and control the owl. Lin Shihong knew he was inevitable and said tremblingly: "Can I drink poisonous wine?"
"There's no such thing as poisonous wine. Either kill yourself or hang yourself!"
Lin Shihong had no choice but to take off his belt in front of everyone, hang himself from the beam, and hang himself to death.
After Lin Shihong died, Cao Tiancheng had Lin Shihong's head chopped off, and then ordered the Yuzhang cities to be opened. At this point, the once-prominent Lin Chu regime was officially destroyed
