Standing on Longshan, you can overlook the western Liaoning Fort and the entire area, because Xu Jun’s fortress is built in a flat and near the sea.
Xiao Siwen watched the scene in front of him in the wind, and the sea surface was endless to the horizon. On the gray coast, the Liaoxi Fort lying on the ground seemed to be a pattern engraved on the earth.
The sound of the wind was faintly mixed with the noise of the crowd.
On the flat ground, there were a few Xi soldiers and Jurchen soldiers, surrounded by ladders. From a high place, they looked like ants carrying insects.
At first glance, the crowd seemed to be moving, but after staring at it for a while, you could find that they were moving closer to Liaoxi Fort.
Suddenly, fires flashed on the fortress, and strings of white smoke came out!After a while, I heard a rumbling rumbling... The cannon sound came from the wind.
The most disturbance was made on the Liaoxi Fortress. There was no situation between the Xi Bing and the Jurchen soldiers, and only a ladder collapsed.
The thick smoke on the fortress was sprayed for several rounds, and a ladder broke and collapsed in the distance. The crowd gradually spread sparsely to the surroundings, as if they were frightened by harassment.
Not long after, almost all the people retreated to the places far away from Liaoxi Fortress.
Seeing this, Xiao Siwen turned around and left the mountainside and said to a Khitan: No need to attack again, withdraw the troops!Afternoon, I sent someone to persuade me to surrender.
Yang Gun stepped forward and said: Duke Xiao, if you persuade him to surrender like this, Xu Jun will not surrender.
Xiao Siwen said: It’s okay to try it. He told them that Emperor Xu State, Blacksmith Guo, was about to die and he didn’t care about them anymore.
Yang Gun pondered: The last time we went to persuade the surrender was killed, the Xu army guard here was very firm.The last general felt that as long as there were military supplies and grain supplies, Xu's army would definitely not surrender... There is a canal southwest of Liaoxi Fortress, which has not been completed, but it has allowed a small boat to pass.We have to find a way to cut off the canal and prevent Xu's army from going out of the sea before we can force the Liaoxi Fortress to surrender.
Xiao Siwen said: Liaoxi Fort is one mile away from the sea, and the entire section of the canal is within the bombardment of artillery shells. How to cut it off?
Yang Gun said: You have to start from this place.
Xiao Siwen snorted, not saying anything, and had been surrounded by Liaoxi Fort for so long. If he could think of a solution, why should he think about it now?
Xiao Siwen said: Look, don’t just stare at the earthen castle. Looking at the broader perspective, if the people of Xu want to build a fort in this way, they will not be effective without ten or eight years of infinity! Their strategy is not like this, otherwise what would Li Chuyun lead the army to the northwest before?
Yang Gun nodded and said: The people of Xu still want to rely on cavalry, and expand the land westward to war horses.
Xiao Siwen said: That's exactly what it is.Damn, if you don’t occupy so many lands in the south of Xu State, you must focus on our fertile land.
Yang Gun said calmly: If the blacksmith Guo can't stand the gates of hell, these threats will be nothing.
The two looked at each other.
They stopped talking, came down from the mountain, took a team of elite cavalry back to Yingzhou.
...When I arrived at the headquarters of Yingzhou, someone immediately said to Xiao Siwen: There are important things to report to the Fan Mansion.
Xiao Siwen looked at a pair of bronze mirrors and tidied up his hat and collar first, without looking back: Let him wait in the lobby, and I will arrive later.
After he said that, he took the hot towel from his servant, wiped the dust on his face, and twisted the beard on his lips with his fingers, and then went to the lobby.
When he arrived in the hall, he saw Yelu Xizhen, Yang Gun and Fan Zhongyi being clamored there.
Yelu Xizhen said: Why did Yang Ye run away?!
After hearing this, Xiao Siwen immediately felt very interested in this matter.
At this time someone said: Mr. Xiao is here.Everyone bowed with their hands pressed their chests, and Fan Zhongyi still bowed with his fists, but he didn't say anything. This was a silence.
Xiao Siwen sat down steadily in the upper position. No matter what, he should pay attention to his demeanor and status at any time. Even the general Yelu Xizhen should be shorter in front of him.
Fan Zhongyi stepped forward and said respectfully: The officials received news. On the first day of August, Yang Ye, who was ordered to enter Beijing, suddenly fled from Beijing. This matter is quite strange.
Xiao Siwen asked: How do you know he is trying to escape?
Fan Zhongyi said: Before leaving Beijing, he rented horses from a carriage and horse store and only brought a follower, which happened to be seen by our people.I tried to go to the carriage and horse shop to find out. Yang Ye didn't even bring enough money when he rented the horse, so he put the jade pendant on the carriage and horse shop, which showed that the trip was very hasty.The eyeliner near the city gate also confirmed that Yang Ye left Tokyo in a panic.
In addition, a total of three minor officials in Kaifeng Prefecture and Xuzhou Prefecture survived the investigation of the Xu State court. Kaifeng Prefecture officials reported secretly that Yang Ye's entourage who stayed in Tokyo on the first day of August was detained. Xu State's official sent a fast horse out of Beijing to the north, probably to stop Yang Ye.
The three minor officials told the scout that they could move their families to Liao.
Yelu Xizhen said calmly: The Fan Mansion is valued by Duke Xiao and holds an important position. Some Khitan nobles are already dissatisfied.
Fan Zhongyi said softly: Xiao Gongyan, as long as he can poison the blacksmith Guo, he would ask the Khan to give him the surname Xiao and live in the Khitan hereditary aristocrat...
Xiao Siwen immediately interrupted him and said: Let’s talk about it when the blacksmith Guo is dead... Those people have great potential to stay in Xu State. What’s the use of coming to Liao State?
Fan Zhongyi hurriedly said: Mr. Xiao and Mr. Yelu were right.However, so many people were killed a while ago, they were probably scared.
Fan Zhongyi paused and said, on the day Yang Ye escaped on the first day of August, two more things happened. Xu Governor Shi Zhouduan was convicted of committing corruption and escorted back to Tokyo. Xu State's pseudo-Emperor Guo Shao fainted in front of a dynasty of hundreds of people.Shortly afterwards, Luo Yanhuan, the Duke of the State, slaughtered himself in Dali Temple. Guo Shao seemed to have never looked at the court again and was still under the supervision of the State of Dafu.
Xiao Siwen caressed the soft mink fur on her hat and pondered: It's interesting...
Yang Gun said: Could it be that Yang Ye also colluded with Zhou Duan and learned that Zhou Duan was guilty of serious crimes and fled temporarily?
Fan Zhongyi shook his head and said politely: No.Yang Ye was a surrendered general in the Eastern Han Dynasty (Northern Han Dynasty). How many years have he surrendered to the puppet dynasty in Tokyo?He doesn’t even have any connections in Tokyo, so what does it have to do with Xuzhou Zhou Duan?Furthermore, if Guo Blacksmith wants to do Yang Ye like this, Yang Ye probably won’t have the chance to run away.
Yang Gun was still white and was a little dissatisfied with Fan Zhongyi's tone, but he didn't say anything.
Yelu Xizhen agreed very much: The matter of Fan’s house is reasonable.
Xiao Siwen pondered for a long time and frowned: What happened to the Xu court after Guo Blacksmith was poisoned?After saying that, he looked at Fan Zhongyi. Although this guy is from Youzhou, he is also a Han Chinese. Maybe he has a deeper understanding of the Han Chinese.
But Fan Zhongyi was also a little troubled and said: Let's look at the result. Two dukes and one prime minister died, as well as King Guo Zongxun (Chai Zongxun), and Shouzhou defense envoy Guo Jin, and Xu Governor Shi Zhou Duan was almost dead, and thousands of people were implicated.
Xu governor Shi Zhouduan and a large group of people were well aware of the case of poisoning caused by implicating the pseudo-Emperor Guo Shao.
It is no wonder that the Prime Minister Fan Zhi and other party members wanted to take advantage of the situation and support Guo Zongxun to restore the Great Zhou... Xu State's official dialect said that those people colluded to rebel together, but Fan Zhi and Zhongli had nothing to do with our Liao Dynasty and had no connection with the Zhao family, so the Xu State's court report was not acceptable.
The most strange thing is how did the two Dukes and the confidant of Guo Blacksmith die?
Xiao Siwen glanced at Fan Zhongyi and nodded: The Fan Mansion is indeed real and knowledgeable, and it is reasonable.
Fan Zhongyi was greatly encouraged, and bowed with fists and said: Li Chuyun killed the messenger of the Liao Dynasty, but it seemed that he did not rebel.But he was actually killed by his close staff. Why did his aide Zhongli kill Li Chuyun?
Yelu Xizhen asked: That person is not the one we arranged?
Fan Zhongyi said: It took only a few years for the officials to be laid out. How can you arrange such important chess pieces in the home of the Duke of the People?This man's origin was very strange. He was once a subordinate of the rebel general Li Yun, but there was no problem after the Xu State government interrogation, so he was released. Li Chuyun dared to use it and he probably found out that there was no problem.
Xiao Siwen thoughtfully said: Could it be that he avenged the old master Li Yun?There is either someone in the Han people's books... or the enemy who ruined his face and plotted to assassinate the old master.
Fan Zhongyi said calmly: Yu Rang, pre-Qin.
Yes, yes!Xiao Siwen said suddenly.
Fan Zhongyi said: When I returned to Duke Xiao, due to different dynasties and different folk customs, there was Yu Ren in the pre-Qin period, so I am afraid there was no Yu Ren at this moment.Besides, Li Yun's death has nothing to do with Li Chuyun.
Yang Gun and Yelu Xizhen scratched their foreheads at the same time.
Xiao Siwen said: Could it be that the blacksmith Guo wants to kill Li Chuyun?
Fan Zhongyi pondered: It is very likely... not many people can kill Duke, but it is easy for Guo Blacksmith to do so.
Xiao Siwen stood up and walked a few steps, then turned around and said: In addition to the tyrant Yelu Jing, it is Guo Blacksmith.I often think about this person, but I always feel that killing Li Chuyun like this does not seem to be like Guo Blacksmith.
Fan Zhongyi said: It is hard to say that the Han people are all strife by any means.
Xiao Siwen asked again: What happened to Luo Yanhuan, Duke of the National Guard?
Fan Zhongyi thought for a long time: Luo Yanhuan and Li Chuyun are friends of life and death...
oh!Xiao Siwen first suddenly realized it, and then thought about it carefully, and was confused again.
At this time, Fan Zhongyixiang said: On the first day of August, Luo Yanhuan admitted to collusion with Xu Prefecture Chief Zhou Duan, which was known to the court, and soon all the yamen also heard about it.Then Zhou Duan was convicted of a serious crime of corruption.
The officials thought that Luo Yanhuan fell into the trap of the Blacksmith Guo and that the Blacksmith Guo wanted him to die.Rather than saying that Luo Yanhuan died in collusion with Zhou Duan, it would be better to say that he is related to Li Chuyun.
Because Luo Yanhuan and Li Chuyun were good friends, they had nothing to do with Zhou Duan.
After hearing this, Xiao Siwen sighed: The Central Plains court has always been complicated, and it is really difficult to understand the way...
Fan Zhongyi said: It is difficult to say it is difficult, and it is not difficult to say it is not difficult. It’s just that we don’t have important connections in the Xu court, so we can only look at the flowers and the moon in the water.Because since ancient times, the Han Dynasty has had different opinions and internal laws and external scholars. Even if the officials in the court are not in the center, they cannot know what they are selling in their gourds.
Xiao Siwen watched the scene in front of him in the wind, and the sea surface was endless to the horizon. On the gray coast, the Liaoxi Fort lying on the ground seemed to be a pattern engraved on the earth.
The sound of the wind was faintly mixed with the noise of the crowd.
