"Zhu Jinliang, I plan to let you do business between the Great Zhou and the Khitan in a bright and bright way, I don't know what you think?"

Guo Zongxun used an inquiring tone, and he also knew that Zhu Jinliang would go to the Khitan territory again, and there would be many variables and great dangers, so he didn't want to force it.

"The grass people are willing, it is the glory of the grass people to be able to do more things for Your Majesty for the Great Zhou, and now, the only worries of the grass people have been solved by Your Majesty, and the grass people are willing to drive for Your Majesty."

Guo Zongxun said with a smile:

"Then I will appoint you as the merchant envoy of the Great Zhou, set up a caravan, and be responsible for the trade between the Great Zhou and the Khitan, the Great Zhou caravan is protected by the border guards along the way, and you have to find out what the Khitan needs in terms of materials, I can't let them starve to death, but I can't feed them."

The first national caravan of the Great Zhou was officially established, and Zhu Jinliang won the appreciation of Guo Zongxun by virtue of his fierce loyalty and unruly in the face of danger, and became the first merchant envoy of the Great Zhou.

Zhu Jinliang originally thought that the little emperor wanted him to continue to risk being killed at any time, enter the Khitan as an ordinary businessman, and help the imperial court collect information about the Khitan, but he didn't want the little emperor to give him a big pie.

"Thank you for your majesty's love, although you can't repay your majesty's grace even though you have broken your bones and your liver and brains."

"Zhu Jinliang, this is the glory you deserve, I said, I will not treat any hero who has contributed to the country, and then you will be an upright merchant envoy of my Great Zhou Dynasty, and you will have the protection of the Great Zhou army if you go to the Khitan."

How domineering this is, the caravan of the Great Zhou entered the territory of the Khitan, and the army of the Great Zhou also had to follow up to protect it, which is too serious about the Khitan Kingdom.

It's really so arrogant, the so-called Khitan territory south of Liaoyang is now the racetrack of the Great Zhou army, if the Khitan people dare to disagree, Cao Bin, who is guarding Youzhou, will gather more than 100,000 troops at any time to fight directly under the city of Liaoyang.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Outside the city of Taiyuan, at the end of December in winter, the Spring Festival is approaching.

Yue Fei and Han Zhao have led an army that has besieged Taiyuan for more than a month? But Taiyuan City is still resisting stubbornly.

About the Northern Han Emperor Liu Jun thought that the army of the Great Zhou would be the same as last time? After a while, the troops will be withdrawn.

But this time Liu Jun really thought wrong? He underestimated the determination of the little emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty to pacify the Northern Han Dynasty.

In Yue Fei's handsome tent, Song Yingxing, a squire from the Ministry of Science and Technology sent by the imperial court, was conveying Emperor Guo Zongxun's edict to Yue Fei:

"I heard that Liu Jun refused to surrender? It's freezing, I don't have time to play with him? It's almost the New Year? I sent Song Shilang to send Liu Jun to send artillery to fight? I ask General Yue for your full cooperation. ”

"Chen Yue Fei commands."

宋英星 says:

"Marshal Yue, after the subordinate entered the barracks, he saw that the soldiers generally lacked winter clothes to protect against the cold, this problem has been handed over to our department to deal with? His Majesty sent someone to Tianzhu to look for cotton seeds? The department is also working on a spinning machine, and I believe that it will be solved soon. ”

Yue Fei said:

"Your Majesty is also worried about the soldiers in front of me, and wants us to take Taiyuan City as soon as possible and take Taiyuan? captured Liu Jun alive, and the rest of the things were easy to do. ”

Song Yingxing said with a smile:

"Marshal Yue? Xia Guan saw that the soldiers were mostly wrapped in sheepskin to keep out the cold, this expedition, His Majesty transferred all the sheepskins that could be transferred to the Huzi Army, after the battle, after the winter, these sheepskins asked General Yue to collect as much as possible, handed over to our department, His Majesty has ordered us to start the development of wool and cashmere warm materials production, now, there are Khitan people for us to raise cattle, sheep and horses, in the future, we have an inexhaustible wool. ”

Yue Fei nodded and said:

"Your Majesty is really meticulous in everything, and it makes us ashamed to think about it in front of us every time."

Song Yingxing also sighed:

"The top priority is to take Taiyuan City, and then rest in place, the land north of Taiyuan, Your Majesty said that you can send someone to recruit An, and there is no need to use swords at all."

Yue Fei didn't believe much about this, but since it was said by the emperor, it was always difficult to refute it in person.

"Your Majesty, my Great Zhou army is bound to be invincible."

Song Yingxing ordered people to carry all the explosives bags he made outside the Chinese military tent.

"Marshal Yue, the ballista cart that can fire explosives packs at the head of the city has not yet been made, so this time we have to use a stupid method, when attacking the city, let's give him a sound to attack the east and west, attack its south gate, blow up its west gate, and it is best to attack the city at night."

Yue Fei said:

"Tonight, Ben Shuai personally led his troops to attack the south gate of Taiyuan City, and General Han Zhao led 50,000 infantry troops and 30,000 cavalry to ambush near the west gate, just wait for the good news of Lord Song."

Song Yingxing didn't need Yue Fei to provide a demoman, the person he brought was a pawn of the Guards Division, and he had been trained many times.

At night, Yue Fei organized an army to attack the south gate of Taiyuan City, while Song Yingxing led people to quietly touch the west gate.

More than a dozen soldiers took advantage of the night to carry the explosives bag to the city gate hole of the west gate of Taiyuan, and put the explosives bag on the city gate with the branches prepared in advance, and then pulled up the lead and retreated, and the Northern Han soldiers on the city head did not find it at all.

"Ignition, whether it can be done in one battle depends on whether these explosive packages can blow up the city gates."

More than a dozen soldiers heard Song Yingxing's order, and lit the three fuses in their hands with fire folds, and the sound was accompanied by sparks, and more than a dozen sparks were particularly eye-catching in the dark night.

"Alas...... Look, what's under the city, is it an enemy attack? ”

The defenders of Taiyuan have been very tenacious these days, and their emperor has told them that as long as we withstand their attacks, the army of the Zhou State will definitely withdraw, and I will reward you heavily.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack ......"

The soldiers guarding the head of the city did not dare to slack off, and the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been attacking the south gate for several days, and the west gate has found movement.

Hundreds of Northern Han officers and soldiers rushed to the city, ready to meet the attack of the Great Zhou army.

One after another, many soldiers poured into the city under the leadership of the generals.

At this moment, the brilliant fireworks burned out, and two or three deafening explosions were heard in succession......

The west gate of Taiyuan City was blown up in an instant, and the city gate was full of fire.

The soldiers at the head of the city were all blown up, and the soldiers in the urn city were the most unlucky, and the huge explosion echoed in the round urn city, enough to burst everyone's eardrums.

"Charge, take Taiyuan, and capture Liu Jun alive."

Han Zhao led 50,000 infantry troops and 30,000 cavalry troops, shouting and rushing to the city gate, after rushing into the city gate, Han Zhao handed over the horse to his own soldiers.

"Take good care of General Ben's war horse, and when General Ben leads people to break open the second city gate, he will take you on the horse to kill the enemy."

Han Zhao took out his set of fighting methods at Gubeikou again, ordered the deputy general to lead people to annihilate the enemy soldiers in the urn city, and led people to rush to the head of the city himself.

After a fierce battle, the west gate of Taiyuan City was breached, and the Great Zhou army finally rushed into Taiyuan City.

"Those who surrender on their knees do not kill, and those who surrender on their knees do not kill......"

The generals of the Northern Han Dynasty stationed at the west gate of Taiyuan City could not have imagined that the city gate was so strong that it would become a pile of fragments after a few rumbles, and then, the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty seemed to fall from the sky......
