The party is absolutely conscientious in fighting a war.He Jin's entire army was annihilated, and Dang Shousu got the news and immediately planned to send troops to avenge He Jin.However, he had less than 20,000 soldiers and surrendered soldiers, and he couldn't deal with Wang Shuo at all.He sent a message to Tian Jianxiu, who was staying in Xi'an, asking him to send troops to support, and at the same time informed Xin Sizhong, who was guarding Longzhong, that after the reinforcements from Xi'an arrived, the whole army also marched westward and surrounded Xining.Unexpectedly, the reinforcements did not wait, but Xin Sizhong took refuge in Wang Shuo.He knew that he had become a lone army in the northwest and was in danger of being wiped out by Wang Shuo at any time, so he planned to avoid Wang Shuo's army first, withdraw from Lanzhou, retreat to the territory of Dashun in Ningxia, recruit tens of thousands of new troops to defend Ningxia, prevent Wang Shuo from going east, and keep the rear of King Chuang safe.When Hu Lianqi's spies heard about these situations, Hu Lianqi reported truthfully to Wang Shuo and suggested that he immediately march to Lanzhou, and at the same time, he asked the big family in Lanzhou to meet Dang Shousu to see if he could persuade him to surrender.Wang Shuo was anxious that Xin Sizhong would not listen to his dissuasion.He did not agree with Xin Sizhong to go to see Dang Shousu, but Xin Sizhong did not reply to him, indicating that Xin Sizhong did not mean to listen to his advice.He wondered how these generals he met, Zhang Ermeng, Lu Yinchang, and Xin Sizhong, were more stubborn than the other, whether he didn't know how to be a leader, or whether his personality was not charismatic enough The idea Hu Lianqi gave him was exactly what he wanted.If the big households in Lanzhou can persuade the party to keep up, Xin Sizhong will not need to take risks personally.On the one hand, he led his troops to quickly move closer to Lanzhou, and on the other hand, he asked Hu Lianqi to quickly let the big household go to persuade the party to defend the su, and on the other hand, he asked people to inform Xin Sizhong and explain the measures he had taken.Unexpectedly, Xin Sizhong was afraid that he would stop him, and after seeing his vanguard, he went to Lanzhou by himself without waiting for him to come and meet.Hu Lianqi found a big Lanzhou household who had a relationship with Dang Shousu, went to meet Dang Shousu, and said to him: Wang Shuo's army has marched to Lanzhou, and the general Ji will have few generals and soldiers, and he may not be able to fight Wang Shuo alone.When I heard that the general wanted to withdraw from Lanzhou and return to Shaanxi, I thought it was impossible.The general is like this, I am afraid that the general will evacuate Lanzhou without the order, Liu Zongmin is the commander of the general, and then he will leave his post without permission and escape without a fight.If Liu Zongmin governs the crime of the general, and the general is unable to defend himself in front of King Chuang for a while, then the general's life is in danger, and the party guards the big family to remind him.He wasn't afraid that Liu Zongmin would punish him.He is also a mighty general, and he must let King Chuang know about his crimes, so he doesn't believe that King Chuang will slaughter him, an old battalion general who has followed him for many years.This little bit of sowing discord was not enough to calm him.What he woke up to was that King Chuang's troops were divided into two routes and attacked Beijing with all their might, and at this moment the rear was empty and in urgent need of stability.If he really wants to evacuate Lanzhou and return to Ningxia, he doesn't believe that Xin Sizhong really doesn't have any friendship at all, and he will kill him to the death, and most likely he will let him go.But after arriving in Ningxia, what should I do if I can't hold Ningxia, Wang Shuo now has more than 200,000 people, how many people and horses can he recruit in Ningxia, and he can't prevent Wang Shuo at all.In case Wang Shuo attacked all the way to Shaanxi, Shaanxi had very few troops, and the rear of Dashun was broken by Wang Shuo because of this, it would be a big event to break into the king to go north to destroy the Ming, but even if he defended Lanzhou, with only 20,000 soldiers, how could he be the opponent of Wang Shuo's 200,000 army, and when the big family saw that his face was cloudy, he thought that he had moved him, so he persuaded him again, and the general was better to surrender to Wang Shuo than to die, and there was still a glimmer of life.Unexpectedly, Dang Shousu sneered: "A certain has followed King Chuang for many years, and King Chuang has treated a certain person as kind as a mountain, you don't know whether you are alive or dead, and you must have received the benefits of Wang Shuo to persuade you to surrender, maybe you are Wang Shuo's spy" He ordered the big family to be tortured and asked the roots.Sure enough, the big family was not punished, and it was entrusted by Hu Lianqi to come to persuade him to surrender, and he summoned Hu Lianqi's secret agent in Lanzhou City.Dang Shousu killed the whole family of the big family, arrested the spy and beheaded it to show the public, and then hung the heads of the big family and the spy on the head of Lanzhou City to show his loyalty to the king and his determination not to surrender.He decided to hold on to Lanzhou, hold back Wang Shuo's eastward advance, and buy time for Tian Jianxiu in Xi'an to prepare for defense.At the same time, he sent someone to inform Tian Jianxiu in Xi'an, telling him to take precautions as soon as possible, guard the pass where Wang Shuo attacked eastward, and not send troops to reinforce him.Wang Shuo couldn't help but be surprised when he learned that Dang Shousu had killed the big family who persuaded him to surrender and Hu Lianqi's secret agent.Dang Shousu hung the heads of big families and secret agents on the city wall, and did things desperately, undoubtedly telling him that he would rather die than surrender.At this time, Xin Sizhong had already entered Lanzhou City, and Xin Sizhong was in danger.If he attacked Lanzhou City at this time to save Xin Sizhong, it would be too late, not only could he not save him, but he would also prompt Dang Shousu to kill him more resolutely, he could only wait for Xin Sizhong's news.If Dang Shousu killed Xin Sizhong, he would immediately attack the city and kill Dang Shousu to avenge Xin Sizhong.That's all he can do.The words are divided into two ends, let's talk about Lanzhou City.The party guards are constantly organizing people to raise the city walls and prepare defensive equipment.The soldiers came to report, and some guests visited, claiming to be a friend of the party for many years.Dang Shousu asked who was coming, and the soldiers secretly told him that it was Xin Sizhong.Xin Sizhong came to see him at this time, obviously to persuade him to surrender.He hesitated for a moment, asked his soldiers to sneak Xin Sizhong to the back hall of his Shuaifu, arranged what his subordinates had to do, and hurried back to Shuaifu.Dang Shousu entered the back hall door, and saw Xin Sizhong dressed in coarse cloth clothes, sitting on the Taishi chair drinking tea, and couldn't help but scold angrily: "The traitor Zuojin Wang He Shuai was killed by Wang Shuo, you are his confidant and beloved general, and he does not want to avenge He Shuai, but recognizes the thief as his father, and takes refuge in Wang Shuo, you and Wang Shuo surround my Lanzhou, and want to put me to death, I can't wait to eat your flesh and dare to come here to die
