Boom!Suddenly a rolling stone hit the ruins of the house opposite, and heavy dust suddenly rose into the air.Several personal soldiers either acted in evasion or shrank their necks.
Zhao Kuangyin said: I really want to hit us, can I hide?If it doesn’t hit, why should you hide?
Li Jixun and others looked at his black face sideways.
Li Jixun said: The Zhou army's attack method was that the defenders were suffering a lot of casualties, and they were still building soil under the city to make slopes. If this continues, I am afraid... The Great Zhou has thousands of miles of people and tens of millions of people, which are consumed here; but Jinyang is surrounded by an isolated city, how can they be consumed?Besides, if they succeed in building the mountain, it will be more difficult to defend.
After hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin stopped and said calmly: "Lianshan is not unsuccessful. If we only talk about consumption, the entire Northern Han Kingdom would not be able to consume the Great Zhou, which had already obtained the territory of Shu Kingdom and Jiangnan.The solution to Jinyang is the Liao army!The Liao Kingdom will definitely save the Northern Han... If the Liao army cannot be brought, the gods cannot save Jinyang!The current consumption level of the Han army is not yet at the moment.
He looked up at the direction of the city wall and said: I have to meet General Feng (Feng Jinke) and others, so that he can't just stare at the earth on the ground and beware of the tunnels underground bombing of the city!
At this time, the sound of killing and drums outside the city were very loud, and the war was very tense.But Zhao Kuangyin was not panicked, but instead acted very calm. His emotions made several generals feel relieved.
Zhao Kuangyin walked up the ramp of the upper city and strode upward.
He was also thinking about the words of Guo Yuanwei, the prime minister of the Northern Han Dynasty the day before yesterday: I didn’t always talk to Brother Zhao, but I still remember our friendship in my heart; I will only come forward unless it is really important and necessary.
Hope is why Zhao Kuangyin can be so calm.What people fear the most is that there is no hope at all!
...Guo Yuan had been an official under Guo Wei, the Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was plotted against him in the internal strife, and Zhao Kuangyin helped him.
But after Zhao Kuangyin arrived in the Northern Han Dynasty, he never helped Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Kuangyin was unwilling to take the initiative to find him in such a situation; sometimes when the position changed, the relationship would also change... If Zhao Kuangyin looked for Guo Yuanwei in a situation where he was living under someone else's roof, he might even think it was a threat, and if he did not make it happen, he would not be able to continue his old friend, but instead he would create a dark enemy.
But Guo Yuan finally took the initiative to contact Zhao Kuangyin and recognized his old friendship.
This gave Zhao Kuangyin real hope: there was a prime minister in the Northern Han Dynasty who was his own, and he could gain some prestige in the army in this battle.
First gain a foothold in Northern Han Kingdom, and then slowly advance.
This is great hope!
At this time, they had climbed up the city wall. Zhao Kuangyin was not afraid of arrows and looked down at the scene below.
Thousands of troops are at their feet!
Although he was a member of the enemy, he still found some ambitions and couldn't help but expand his mind!
He looked up at the sun in the sky and took a long breath in the face of the smoke.
Yes, the enemy's siege was very fierce, and Jinyang City was not without the danger of being broken; the Liao army would definitely come to save Jinyang, but it is not known whether it can arrive in time!
The risks are still very high, but Zhao Kuangyin is not afraid of risks. He dares to capture the enemy general alive before entering the army in Chuzhou alone!
Danger is just a matter of vain, as long as there is hope!
Zhao Kuangyin raised his head and looked up at the sky and said silently: A true man is not about how glorious he is when he is proud, but about what manifestations he is when he is frustrated.
So what if I fall from the highest general of the Great Zhou imperial guards to the ground?
At worst, you can get up and do it again!
Believe in your own abilities. As long as you gain a foothold in Northern Han, you will definitely be able to climb up and rebuild your foundation!
A hot flame seemed to burn in Zhao Kuangyin's chest!
At this moment, a general suddenly walked up to the city, whispered in Zhao Kuangyin's ear, and handed over a piece of paper without an envelope.
After seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin was slightly stunned: Guo Yuan wanted to make an appointment with him. At this time, the war was so urgent. If the civil servants wanted to meet, it must be something internal.
I'll go there right away.Zhao Kuangyin responded first.
His steps were a little hesitant and he felt a little bad... But standing here, there was a city wall of more than three feet below, with thousands of enemy troops outside; behind was Jinyang City, surrounded by water.
cough!Zhao Kuangyin turned to Li Jixun, Shi Shouxin and others and said, "I have something to do."
What's the matter?Shi Shouxin said.
Zhao Kuangyin didn't say anything.Shi Shouxin said again: Let’s go with Brother Zhao.
Zhao Kuangyin did not refuse, so a group of people went down the wall and walked north from the main road in the middle of the ruins.
From time to time on the road, troops drove southward, and there were people carrying wounded soldiers on both sides.
But there are no more people. After the city is martial law, it is strictly forbidden for idle people to wait on the cross road in the middle to avoid affecting the army to mobilize the four cities.
Several people walked a long way, turned around, and walked on another street, which was gone without even a figure in it.Zhao Kuangyin and others walked to a door, gently lifted it up, and walked in.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with this trip at the moment. If the Northern Han court really wanted to be unfavorable to him, Guo Yuanwei would not have been able to make a trap... Even if he didn't help him, he could at least leave it alone.
After entering the room, I saw Guo Yuanwei sitting alone inside.Zhao Kuangyin and others entered and met and saluted each other.
Guo Yuanwei said: Brother Zhao is in danger!
Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly said: How do you say this?
Guo Yuanwei's eyes swept across the faces of Shi Shouxin and others, and said in a deep voice: Your Majesty discusses with several ministers to tie Brother Zhao to the Zhou army's camp in exchange for a temporary ceasefire in the Zhou army.
Zhao Kuangyin had probably guessed something was wrong, and he felt nervous when he heard this.
He sat there, put his hand under the table and pinched his fist... He was still ahead and did his best to defend the city. He thought he had a little hope and was about to be sold in a blink of an eye!
His heart seemed to have fallen into the ice cave at once, but there was another anger.But getting angry is useless. Only the village man yelled with his hands and pounded his hands. Zhao Kuangyin asked coldly: How long does the truce take?
Guo Yuanwei said: Your Majesty first asked for fifteen days, but the King of Zhou only agreed to three days, and then the agreement was completed for five days.
Five days... Zhao Kuangyin's face became darker. How effective is five days? He is just worth such a little bit of work?
He was not only desperate, but also very embarrassed and angry!
Thinking about the number one general of the Great Zhou imperial guards, he actually fell to such a state?!
Guo Yuan sighed: Your Majesty wants to do that, but I can't persuade him... I really have no choice.
Zhao Kuangyin suppressed the anger in his heart and asked again: When did it happen?
Guo Yuanwei pondered: Yesterday, the people from the Zhou army shot the letters onto the top of the city, but His Majesty let us know the letters, this morning.
Zhao Kuangyin nodded.
I couldn't help but think: Guo Yuanwei is the prime minister, but I only learned about this overnight?
It is not impossible, after all, the Lord of Northern Han may not have let the ministers know immediately; in addition, according to what Guo Yuan said just now, both sides also bargained... They only let the ministers know this morning, and it was less than noon, and they could bargain back and forth in half a day?
Although it is possible, Zhao Kuangyin already suspected that Guo Yuanwei knew about it yesterday and refused until today to come and report it!
Zhao Kuangyin is usually kind, but he never treats people as selfless good people.
He speculated about Guo Yuanwei's intention: If he didn't come to reveal it, he would be dragged into the water when he was afraid that he would be desperate!
But if it is too early to disclose, it will be unfavorable to him if something goes wrong.
However, Zhao Kuangyin still clasped his fists and said: Xianggong Guo can tell me in advance that he has done his best to take such a huge risk.
Guo Yuanwei shook his head and said: I really can't do anything.After saying that, he stood up and bowed: It is not convenient to stay here for a long time, so I will say goodbye first.Brother Zhao likes to do it himself.
When Guo Yuan was leaving, Li Jixun, Shi Shouxin and others were also angry and afraid. Shi Shouxin waved his fist: Instead of dying like this, it is better to let us open the city and fight a happy battle with the Zhou army, and die happily!
Yes... Zhao Kuangyin frowned.He fully agreed with Shi Shouxin's words, but obviously the Lord of Northern Han would not agree, and he wanted to have a ceasefire for five days.
Several people were there for a moment frowning and indignant.
Shi Shouxin frowned and said: The Lord of Northern Han will not agree... Then let us brothers take our weapons and rush to the Northern Han Imperial City!Damn, let’s sell us, and you also have to show their store’s colors!
Zhao Kuangyin did not comment, but completely rejected Shi Shouxin's method.
If you rush to the Northern Han Imperial City, you will definitely die, and your head can be sold!
After dying, someone else will find an excuse to say that he is rebelling or doing something in detail to rebel in the chaos!
Even if you die, you will be criticized.
At this time, Li Jixun said: Let’s have a fight with you brothers. Since we have reached this point, it’s better to die together!It’s a pity that my eldest son’s revenge has not yet been revenged!
Zhao Kuangyin turned around and looked at the exit of the house, thinking that he might be able to escape alone and find a place to hide... but there was basically no chance of survival.
Jinyang is now a closed city. Without proper preparations, where can I hide in the city temporarily and not be searched?
As long as someone sees it, it will definitely be exposed; and the food is not prepared, so you must come out to find food and water to drink. It is too hasty and it is too easy to be found.
It is also a must-have way. Not only will it not survive, but it will also be caught even more embarrassing!
Leave here first.Zhao Kuangyin said.
Several people came out of the broken house together. As soon as they walked onto the street, the person next to them asked: Brother Zhao, where are we going now?
Zhao Kuangyin looked at the endless street and wondered, where else can he go now, the world is so big?
The ambitions cooled down little by little in his heart, and the whole world seemed to have turned gray and black, even if the sun shone on his head.
Zhao Kuangyin raised his head and sighed: I have been in vain for half a lifetime, but I was actually plotted to end in a villain and a dark corner!The tiger falls into the sun...
Several big men were all worried.The black smoke in the air was floating, and there were damaged ruins in the south, and there were leaves and debris floating in the wind, and there were desolate everywhere.
Zhao Kuangyin said: I really want to hit us, can I hide?If it doesn’t hit, why should you hide?
Li Jixun and others looked at his black face sideways.
Li Jixun said: The Zhou army's attack method was that the defenders were suffering a lot of casualties, and they were still building soil under the city to make slopes.
