Xiao Siwen returned to the head of Youzhou City, feeling a lot in his heart.
Standing at the top of the high city, the flat ground outside the city looks more expansive, and the sky seems to be low enough to reach.
The clouds are not thick. The brilliance of the sun behind the clouds dyes the clouds. The center is dazzling, and the light spreads around like arrows, but it is even more magnificent. The golden light at this time was like a trial in the dark.
Xiao Siwen looked at the river in the south of the city without saying a word for a long time. The water of Sanggan River meandered eastward, and the wind on the river shimmered like a piece of armour. Along this river to the east, there are indeed thousands of troops! Zhou Jun had built the city on the lower reaches of the Sanggan River. Xiao Siwen imagined that the army would march along the river and waterway and reach Youzhou within a day!
According to the situation reported by the spies, the city built by Zhou Jun was also a large barracks and a large granary. There were basically no people except the people who built the city; therefore, there is no need to consider the many livelihood issues of ordinary cities, otherwise it will take a few months. Can't be built.
His palm patted the blue bricks of the female wall a few times and made some trivial movements. Then he patted the dirt on his hands carefully, turned and walked down the city wall.
As soon as I walked down the city wall, I heard the dull sound of sawing wood in the city. Craftsmen were still making catapults day and night. Xiao Siwen patrolled the city defenses and ran into Han official Fan Zhongyi.
Fan Zhongyi asked Xiao Siwen to look at something in an official office.
"It was hollowed out with stone and stuffed with gunpowder, and the fuze could explode after being ignited and thrown." Fan Zhongyi said, "This is what the Liao Army captured when it attacked the Zhuozhou fortress. It is a new thing."
Xiao Siwen picked it up and took a closer look. "It's not easy to hollow out the stone for such a small hole."
Fan Zhongyi said: "It is true."
He took out another broken copper firecracker, which was also used by Zhou Jun. This thing was seen by the Liao army on the battlefield at the beginning of the year, that is, the sound was loud and the smoke was loud, the range was far inferior to the bow|crossbow, and the fight was slow.
Xiao Siwen pondered for a while and felt that Zhou Jun's tactics in attacking Youzhou might not have changed much. But if there is no foreign aid, it is only a matter of time before you allow hundreds of thousands of troops to besiege Youzhou.
After Xiao Siwen patrolled and defended, he wrote a memo that night, reporting that the Beijing Zhou army was about to attack Youzhou, and he asked for help.
He hoped that Zhou Jun would delay for a few more months. In the fall, the Liao army will have more horses and grains, and the food and grass pressure of the war will not be so great.
...In the early summer of April, the grassland is green, and the weather is not too hot.
No one questioned the news that Zhou Jun was going to attack Youzhou among the nobles of the Shangjing tribe. Zhou Jun spent a lot of money to build a city in the southeast of Youzhou. The army gathered in Hebei for several months. I am afraid it is not as simple as scaring people.
Miyagi will discuss sending troops to the south again.
The army only returned to the north at the beginning of the year, and will be dispatched again a few months later; and this period of time back and forth allowed Zhou army to occupy a favorable position! However, this situation is not tossing around, and it is definitely not a decision error!
It is really helpless. If the hundreds of thousands of Liao army are stranded in Youzhou, it will be exhausted for a few months. The Liao army is still in Youzhou, Zhou Jun should not dare to rush forward to build the city, the situation is only deadlocked, except for the waste of money and food, there will be no results.
Yelüjing didn't say a word, hoping that the ministries would once again support him in marching south!
At this moment, Yelujing suddenly felt that Xiao Siwen was actually a loyal minister...If he lost Hebei, he could hardly imagine whether his throne would be secure, and what kind of chaos would happen next!
Someone suggested: "It can be modeled at the beginning of the year with light cavalry soldiers going south to harass and threaten the besieged men and horses of the Zhou army."
General Yelu Xiezhen objected: "Now and then. Last year, in the battle of Youzhou, the Zhou army's northern expedition went deep into the Liao border and hung outside the city of Youzhou alone; and our army is already gathering, Keli heading south, facing Zhou The army threatened a lot. Zhou army withdrew so quickly because it was not willing to take risks to preserve its strength.
At this time, the fortifications of the Zhou Army's defense line were only a day away from Youzhou, and the officials thought it was not easy to force the Zhou people to retreat with a small group of elite soldiers. "
Yelüjing turned her gaze to Yeluxiu.
Brother Yeluxiu also said: "Please be the striker, but the great Khan can lead the army to the south to fight against the Zhou people!"
At this moment, the atmosphere in the palace is not quite right. It is not the same as before. Most people didn’t say anything. They actually experienced it from the battlefield when they went south at the beginning of the year. It doesn't have any substantial benefits, but it is self-defeating. At present, the envoys are not very rich.
Everyone talked about it, but Youzhou couldn't give up easily. In the end, they reluctantly reached an agreement: first go south with Qingqi, set the guards of the southern courtyard to stick to Youzhou, postpone it until autumn, and then send out the army to go south.
Yelüjing said: "With Zhou Guogong Yeluxiu as the forward, he led the tent of 10,000 elite soldiers, selected 20,000 horses from the tribal army, and went south as soon as possible to strengthen Xiao Siwen and defend the city."
Brother Yeluxiu bowed his command.
Yelüjing did not dare to transfer all the palace troops in Shangjing. This time it was different. He had to stay in Shangjing for a few months! If there is no strength around him, his heart is not at ease.
Yelüjing sat in a chair, looking back at the ministers on both sides, looking at each of their faces, as if they were guessing what their hearts were!
"Khan and feel relieved, the minister must teach Zhou people a lesson after they go south!" Yeluxiu said bitterly. This sentence is not only a guarantee to the emperor, but also to the people present, so as to save some people from seeing others because of a little loss at the beginning of the year!
Yelüjing praised: "Very good! Zhou Guogong is Ben Khan's left and right arms."
Everyone hurriedly said some auspicious words. At this moment, a nobleman couldn't help asking: "What method do you want to use to crack the Zhou people?!"
No one can answer.
General Yelu slantedly said calmly: "At this moment, I am afraid that it can only be consumed, or recklessly fight for strength, there is no other way. Unless..."
"Unless what?" Yelujing also showed a glimmer of urgent hope.
Yelü obliquely looked at Ge Yeluxiu: "Unless you are surprised to find extraordinary talents, and there is a peerless talent who has won a critical battle unexpectedly, you can get out of this mire!"
People can't help but let out a disappointed sigh. It's nonsense! Naturally, there are occasional famous wars in history with few enemies.
Brother Yeluxiu gritted his teeth at this time, standing there with wide-eyed eyes, as if bulging. Many people in the middle of Korea praised him as a hero before, and later complained that he provoke Zhou Guo to trouble his upper body, wanting to inexplicably push the responsibility to himself... It seems that he should do things like building a miracle? !
Liao Huang looked at it and said with great hope: "The country is in crisis, and Ben Khan is worried! If Brother Xiu established his miraculous work, he will definitely become a hero of the Khitan races for thousands of years!"
The so-called marvelous man, of course, is at the most difficult and critical moment, doing extraordinary things before he can be a man of God!
