At the ancient city of Youzhou, you can see dark green moss in the corners of bricks and stones under the sun; the ground on the city wall and the edges and corners of the stones have been rounded.
This is a trace of time, but there are not many signs of human damage. Youzhou has not had any war in many years.
Xiao Siwen stood beside the female wall, looking at her, holding her fingers and holding her beard in her eyes, looking thoughtful.
There are many people outside the city, but there is no war yet.
From a distance, you can see the smoke everywhere in the wilderness. Xiao Siwen looked at it for a while and said: They were burning fire and roasting frozen soil, and they should have to use rammed earth to build siege fortifications.
After saying that, he stretched out his neck and looked down at the outer city wall. There was a layer of ice on it, and there were icicles under the female wall, like frozen running water.
The water I poured last night will freeze in the evening and in the morning.
But Xiao Siwen looked up at the sun, felt the warmth of the sun on his face, and guessed that the ice on the wall would melt before noon.
At this time, Abudi pointed to the northeast and said: There is a large number of Zhou troops stationed there. Before they encircle the city, we can counterattack the attack camp.
Xiao Siwen immediately remembered Zhuozhou a few years ago. Because of a momentary difference, he temporarily asked the general to lead his troops to attack Zhuozhou, but he suffered huge losses.
He shook his head cautiously and said: It's useless.Even if the attack on the camp was successful, too few people went out could not cause any substantial blow to the Zhou army. We still have to take risks... There are too many soldiers in Zhou, and it is reported that there are endless people on several roads.
He also carefully observed the soldiers on the city and felt the faint fear of the soldiers.
Because there are some rumors in the army, it is rumored that the King of Zhou, Guo Blacksmith, was a monster that ran out from the ground, with three heads and six arms holding a big iron hammer.
Moreover, the Zhou army was in full swing, and it was not appropriate to go out of the city to seek battle under such morale.
At this moment, a general knelt on the ground: Damn it!The Zhou people went north in large numbers... At the end, they did send scouts several times, but somehow they haven't come back yet.I don’t know what happened, but why didn’t I notice that Zhou Jun was transferred?
Xiao Siwen looked down at him and said: You are negligent, but even if you find out in advance, there is no difference in our situation.How many days did the Zhou army go from Yizhou to Youzhou?At that marching speed, it was just that.
He looked back and said, "There is no other way now, he can only defend the city and wait for reinforcements."Without reinforcements, there is no way to deal with the Zhou army by the lack of troops stationed in Youzhou alone.
The generals bowed one after another and said, "The last general is waiting for the king to call the order."
Xiao Siwen said solemnly: The 10,000 cavalry soldiers who came to help at the end of last year are just the only ones who guard Youzhou, all the families of our people in the city. If we don’t defend the city, the city will be destroyed and the jade will be destroyed!May you strive to protect the country.
After saying that, he looked north for a long time, and deep in his sight, he seemed to see the vast grassland beyond the mountains and ridges.
……
In the royal court on the hills of Jingshan, even in the daytime, there were charcoal fires, and the windows were sealed.
The firelight reflected on the face of the Liao emperor Yelu Jing, and his eyes reflected fireworks, which looked very terrifying.
The ministers and nobles of Zhubeiyuan were filled with righteous indignation and were shouting, beating and killing!
Yelu Jing held his face and said nothing.He thought to himself: If you weren't all thinking about taking me off the throne, with the martial arts strength of the Great Liao Dynasty, what about this?!
The nobles took the initiative to ask for troops to send troops to Youzhou to rescue Youzhou without any objection in the court.
The minister of the North Court came out and bowed with his hands pressed his chest and said, "The Khan issued an order. The North Court can gather 400,000 cavalry of the Palace Treasure Army and tribal army within two months!"
The strength of the Great Liao Dynasty is not weak. They occupied a vast land, ruled numerous tribes and populations, and had almost no fortress in the Great Wall. Without a large number of powerful forces, it would be difficult to maintain such a huge country. Moreover, the cavalry mobilized rapidly on the grassland, and the proportion of population to troops was high.
It is a fact that hundreds of thousands of cavalry can be mobilized at extraordinary times.
Yang Gun said: I'm afraid I can't wait until the army gathers.
After hearing this, the ministers looked at each other.
Yang Gun said: I was following Yelu Xiu Ge to rescue the Northern Han Dynasty, which was not considered delay, but before I could reach the ground, Jinyang was broken.You may look down on the Northern Han Kingdom, but the solidity of Jinyang City is world-famous.The main name of Zhou Kingdom is "Guo Pocheng", and his ability to attack cities and villages is beyond the world's estimates.If we wait for two months to gather the army and then head south, it is difficult to say who will be in Youzhou City.
A nobleman asked: What do you mean?
Yang Gun bent over and looked up at the upper position.
Yelu Jing pinched the bowl on the table with his tiger's mouth, raised his head and took a sip of the strong wine.As the hot smell flowed down his throat, his face gradually showed a pathological bright red color.
He understood what Yang Gun meant: to save Youzhou as quickly as possible, the only option was to mobilize the palace tent army to guard the royal court in Shangjing!
But Yelu Jing had to think about whether the palace tent army could be transferred away, and the tribal army could gather together to the capital with justification. Will it take the opportunity to make a mistake?
If we personally lead the palace tent army to the south, we will have to gather more reinforcements in the future. Will we take the opportunity to take over the capital to deal with the Khan who has already gone south?
Yelu Jing couldn't control himself from thinking too much. If he felt safe, what would the windows of this palace be blocked?
He took another sip of wine, and the bowl was empty. He wanted to throw it on the table, but he put it down gently and said coldly: How many people can there be in a month?
The Prime Minister of the North Court said: The palace tent army and tribal army gathered in the areas outside Shangjing can have 100,000 to 200,000 cavalry.
Yelu Jing understood that Youzhou had a great relationship. If you were to die and lose Youzhou, it would arouse internal dissatisfaction and conflict.
He no longer hesitated and said: First, transfer 40,000 elite cavalry soldiers to quickly go south to attack the Zhou people to attack the city. A month later, the Khan led a large army of '200,000' from Shangjing to the south!
All the ministers agreed: The Khan is wise and powerful!
Yelu Jing looked down at the ministers and looked over one by one, and his eyes stopped on the young Yelu Xiu Ge's face: Yelu Xiu Ge, take Ben Khan's elite troops first!
Yelu Xiu Ge immediately stepped out, slapped his left chest with an ambitious palm, and bowed vigorously: The last general's order will be fulfilled, and his mission will be fulfilled!
good!Yelu Jing pointed at Yang Gun again, and you are still the deputy general.
Yang Gun said: I will receive the order.
Yelu Jing slapped the table with a palm: Give wine!
The palace maid hurriedly came up with a can of wine, first put it on Yelu Jing, then poured two bowls of wine and delivered it to the two generals.
Yelu Jing picked up the wine bowl.
Thank you Khan!The two generals bowed together and drank the wine clean.
Yelu Jing also picked up the bowl and poured it into a stomachache, and his body became even hotter. He waved his hand and threw it into pieces, stood up and pointed to the south: I don’t give you a look, I thought the Liao Dynasty was easy to mess with!
...Yelu Xiuge and Yang Gun took the imperial edict to the camp in the northern part of Shangjing to mobilize troops. The two led the guards out of the palace city and soon saw the garrison of the palace tent.
Yelu Xiu Ge looked at the scene in front of him excitedly.
The felt tents were scattered horizontally and vertically on the grass, as vast as white clouds in the sky.
The scene here is completely different from the Nancheng. There is no building at all, it is just an open space. The Khitan army does not need houses, maintains its original habits and lives in tents.
Yelu Xiu Ge shouted, led his men down the gentle slope and rushed into the camp.The accompanying palace officials handed over the certificates and summoned military generals from various departments to confirm the military order.
Yelu Xiuge immediately inspected the various departments of the Palace Treasure Army, and he determined that the Palace Treasure Army in the North Courtyard of Beijing was the real elite!
Most cavalry have iron armor, mainly scales and mail, and at least they also have strong hard leather armor.
Since Emperor Taizong of Liao, the Liao Kingdom has not been a pure nomadic country. Although the main force is still on the grassland, there are large areas of farmland and towns in Bohai Kingdom, Youzhou and other places; even in the southern part of Shangjing, there are areas specially built for the Han people.
A large number of craftsmen from all ethnic groups made porcelain and tools for them, and made armor and weapons.
Forging armor is quite troublesome and cannot meet the needs of most Liao troops wearing armor, but the Palace Army has a high priority equipment and armor rate.
The palace tent army in Shangjing North Court is well-equipped and strong.There was even a heavy cavalry with armor even on horses, but the personal guard Yelu Xiuge could not take it away, and it was a guard who was only around the emperor.
The main force of the Liao army was hunting everywhere, and the tents of the garrison could be removed after they were packed up. It took less than two days to send troops.
A large number of horses came out of Beijing, and tens of thousands of horses surging on the grassland, so it is naturally difficult to hide.There are a large number of Han people in the south city, and many people know that the Liao army's palace tent army has left the capital... Among them are spies from the Great Zhou.
First, a small number of fine works pretending to be fur merchants entered Shangjing South City and established trade relations with the local area. This approach was more troublesome and difficult.
Later, the Northern Han Dynasty was destroyed, and many Northern Han officials were worried about being liquidated by the Zhou army, so they fled to the Liao Kingdom, with many slaves.
At that time, there were mixed soldiers and people. The detailed leader of Jinyang took the opportunity to follow the previous deployment and let the undercover disguised as various identities and sneak into the fleeing crowd, and then ran to Shangjing.
Some people say that the slaves of a certain family have been separated, and there are too many slaves in each family that are really difficult to find out, and no one cares about them. Some people even claim to be an official in Jinyang, and they happened to be asked by an official which yamen and which room he was in, but they were in trouble.
Officials in the Northern Han Dynasty believed that he was a fisherman who was catching up with troubled waters and coaxed him away.
Outside the south gate, two men carrying firewood stood there and stopped to watch. On the undulating grassland, the black herd of horses filled with floods.
The earth is so open that the horse team does not need a road. If it starts a march, it seems slow and it is actually considered a very fast march speed.
One of the men was sending out the air to observe the surrounding situation, while the other carefully estimated how many people there were.There are tens of thousands of people, but it is probably only a matter of time.
The Liao army was dispatched and as soon as they left the capital, the people of Zhou knew about the truth.In this regard, the Zhou court did a better job than the Liao people.
This is a trace of time, but there are not many signs of human damage. Youzhou has not had any war in many years.
Xiao Siwen stood beside the female wall, looking at her, holding her fingers and holding her beard in her eyes, looking thoughtful.
