- Xiao Liu said he wanted to break out, but when it came time to break out, he was not on the breakout list.
Xiao Mian was puzzled and asked quickly: "Won't uncle come out of the city with me?"
Xiao Liu said: "Today I am heading east, and there are only a few people who can follow me. There are still countless soldiers and civilians in the city resisting. As a descendant of the Xiao family, the people of Jiangling have supported my Xiao family for more than a thousand years. How can I abandon them?" And go."
"Uncle!"
Xiao Liu added: "Li Tang has many soldiers, and also has cavalry. They are good at maneuvering and moving quickly. If I retreat and the enemy pursues me, our army will definitely be in panic. Now that I am defending the enemy in the city, I can contain the Tang army for a period of time, so that the emperor can Break out safely."
Xiao Mian was moved after hearing this and bowed deeply to Xiao Liu.
"My virtuous uncle, on behalf of the Xiao family and the people of Jiangling, I would like to express my gratitude to my uncle for his great kindness."
Under the protection of the imperial guards, Xiao Mian hurriedly left the palace and headed toward the southeast of the city. The southeast gate of Gangneung City is the water gate, which is not connected to the land route and only ships can enter and exit.
Xiao Liu was worried that Li Tang would send cavalry to chase Xiao Mian, so he suggested that Xiao Mian take the water route and first take shelter at the police station on the south bank of the river before making further calculations.
Xiao Xian walked out of the palace in embarrassment and arrived at the southeast gate.
Li Shimin made a very detailed plan for the siege of Jiangling City. His target was not only Jiangling City, but also Xiao Xian,
After all, only by capturing Xiao Mian alive can the entire Xiao Liang be surrendered.
If we attack one city and one place, we won't be able to hit more than a few places before the Sui army arrives.
Therefore, Li Shimin ordered General Shuang Shiluo to lead thousands of troops to lurk at the east gate of Jiangling City to block Liang Jun who was trying to break out of Jiangling City.
There are dozens of warships parked on the shore outside Jiangling City. Li Shimin also knows that this is a small hidden danger, but in Li Shimin's case,
Shimin thought that if Jiangling was captured, these would naturally be spoils of war for the Tang army, so he did not send anyone to burn them, thus giving Xiao Mian a chance to escape.
Xiao Xian took a small boat out of the city from the southeast gate and went straight to the warship outside the city.
Then, these large ships advanced to the city gate one after another, using small boats to pick up the family members, clan members, ministers and soldiers who had followed Xiao Xian to break out of the encirclement.
This made Shuang Shiluo dumbfounded.
Shuangshiluo knew that only small boats could pass through the southeast gate, not people and horses, so all the focus was on the east gate.
But Liang Jun chose the southeast gate, Water Gate.
Shuang Shiluo immediately rushed to the southeast, but one of the two sides was in the water and the other was on the shore. Although Shuang Shiluo kept directing the Tang army to block the attack, the Liang army was protected by tall warships, and the Tang army's crossbows could not damage it at all. .
This time .c om Zhang Si. Shuang Shiluo could only watch as Xiao Mian took a boat and sailed away.
At this time, Xiao Liu, who was staying in the city, also issued the first order after Xiao Xian left. The entire army abandoned the outer city and retreated to the inner city.
This inner city is Xiao Liang¡¯s imperial city and palace city.
Because Jiangling City has been the capital of Xi Liang for thirty years, the palace buildings are very complete. When Yang Jian destroyed Xiliang, considering the relationship between the two families, he did not demolish it.
"After Xiao Mian became emperor, he only made some minor repairs to complete the inner city of the past.
Xiao Liu knew very well that when Li Tang's army had completely entered the city, engaging in city street fighting with Li Tang would only lead to death. Only by relying on fortified cities could he stop the opponent.
Xiao Liu also knew that it was difficult to block Li Shimin, but he had to do so.
Since before the Battle of Yuzhang, Xiao Liu has been opposed to Xiao Mian sending troops into Yuzhang, and even more opposed to Xiao Mian going to war with the Sui Dynasty. It is unwise to use a corner of the country to fight against the world, and it is impossible to succeed.
"It's a pity that Xiao Mian didn't listen to him. In the end, Zhang Xiu went to the east and all the main force of Xiao Liang was lost.
At this time, Xiao Liu suggested that Xiao Liang no longer had the capital to dominate the world, so he should surrender to the Sui Dynasty and exchange the Xiao family for decent honors and good rewards, and reestablish himself in the new dynasty.
"It's a pity that Xiao Mian didn't listen. He was reluctant to give up the throne, let alone the luxurious and glitzy life in Jiangling, so he lured the wolf into the house and asked Li Tang for help.
Xiao Liu objected again, believing that if the two sides united together, it would be impossible to defeat the Sui Dynasty, but would instead anger the Sui Dynasty. Once the Sui Dynasty kills the Xiao family, the hundreds of years of Xiao family's foundation will be completely overturned.
But Xiao Mian failed to listen to him again, which ultimately led to the current situation.
Xiao Liu repeatedly persuaded Xiao Mian to defect to the Sui Dynasty. It was not that he had any selfish motives or that he wanted to surrender to the Sui sect, but that in his heart, the Xiao family was far more important than the Xiao Liang regime, and the purpose of all his actions was to preserve Xiao. family.
It¡¯s the same reason why I stayed this time.
Xiao Liu knew very well that although Xiao Mian had already broken throughGoing east, nominally Daliang still controls Jingnan, but in fact Xiaoliang, who has lost Jiangling, can no longer command the Jingnan states.
So Xiao Mian is actually just a polished commander.
Originally, Xiao Liang was an easy prey for the Sui Dynasty, but under Xiao Mian's operation, he gave it to Li Tang in vain, so even if he surrendered to the Sui Dynasty at this time, Huang Mingyuan could spare him.
As for what Xiao Liu said to Xiao Mian before, it was actually to stabilize the other party. He was worried that Xiao Mian would directly vote for Li Tang, and the Xiao family would be even more doomed.
First, Xiao Yu defected to Li Tang, and then Xiao Mian rebelled. Although Empress Dowager Wu Yi still exists, Huang Mingyuan will not really kill the Xiao family, nor will she reuse her.
In this case, it only takes a few decades of suppression for the Xiao family to completely decline.
强牺 yuewenyuan.com 读牺。That¡¯s why Xiao Li doesn¡¯t care about life or death. Have to stay After coming down, he must defend Jiangling, for the Sui Dynasty and for the Xiao family. Only by guarding this Jiangling city can Xiao Liang's rule in Jingnan not collapse, and then surrendering to the Sui Dynasty can the Xiao family have a way out.
Xiao Yu knew very well the consequences of desperate resistance, which was to treat Jiangling City as a big millstone and pull the Tang Army and all the soldiers and civilians of Jiangling City into this millstone to grind their flesh and blood bit by bit.
And the future of the Xiao family depends on the nourishment and rebirth of these crushed flesh and blood.
The longer Jiangling City is defended, the better the future for the Xiao family.
Jiangling City has 30,000 soldiers, including water and land soldiers. When Xiao Mian fled, he took thousands of troops with him, and many of them fought with the Tang army in various gates and alleys.
Xiao Liu can't care so much, he can only let him go around in the outer city.
In addition to ordering the entire army to retreat to the inner city, Xiao Liu also ordered all members of the royal family, chamberlains, and even slaves and servants in the imperial city to be under unified management and go up to the city walls to defend against the enemy.
Control the big one and control the owl. As for the food and materials of each family, he will allocate them uniformly. If anyone is unwilling, he will be executed. There was an elder of the Xiao family who was one generation older than Xiao Liu. He was unwilling to become a servant and provide food because of his seniority.
"But Xiao Liu didn't give him any face at all, and directly ordered him to be beheaded on the spot.
The other party¡¯s face was full of surprise and confusion until he died. He didn¡¯t understand how Xiao Liu dared.
With this head, Xiao Liu shocked most people.
And in front of everyone, Xiao Liu even shouted the slogan "The Xiao family in the inner city will not die, and the inner city will not be destroyed". Everyone understood that Mr. Xiao was going to make a desperate move
