Han Baoyi stood on the steps with his hands in his hands, looking up at an eagle circling in the sky a few times, and then flew westward, and his heart was also relaxed.

The Jin army barracks are set up in the northwest direction of the county a few miles away, there is a large piece of flat land here, close to the harbor, all kinds of material transportation is very convenient, the barracks have set up two thousand big tents, neat and orderly, the momentum is magnificent.

The fleet has returned to the port of the estuary, and the next arrival will transport a large amount of grain and forage.

The soldiers were very busy, digging trenches, planting camp fences, at this time, the county commander Zhou Zhen came to the camp with nearly 100 carts, they brought 500 quintals of dried fish, the number of 500 quintals of dried fish is not small, a load of dried fish is at least 50 or 60 catties, 500 quintals of dried fish is more than 30,000 catties, which can improve the food of the soldiers.

When Yang Meng heard that the dried fish was sent, he personally came to the gate to thank him, and Zhou Qian finally found an opportunity and whispered to Yang Meng: "There is a confidential matter to report to General Yang!" ”

Yang Meng was slightly stunned, and then laughed heartily: "Thank you for the dried fish from Zhou County, please go to the big tent and sit down, drink tea and leave!" ”

Zhou Qian also smiled: "Then disturb the general!" ”

He followed Yang Meng to the big tent, and Yang Meng asked solemnly, "What does Zhou County Ling want to tell me?" ”

Zhou Qian sighed and said, "As soon as Han Tingshi returned to the city, he immediately wrote an eagle letter to report the arrival of the general to Li Na of Qizhou, but the eagle letter was stopped by my brother. ”

Zhou Qian took out a small wooden cylinder from his arms and handed it to Yang Meng, "This is the eagle letter that Han Tingshi prepared to send to Li Na." ”

Yang Meng opened the letter and read it carefully, a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes: "He is the assassin appointed by Li Na, and he wants to report to Li Na, I can understand, but he personally promised me not to leak it, why didn't he believe it?" ”

"General Yang doesn't know that Han Baoyi is not only the assassin appointed by Li Na, but his sister is also Li Na's concubine, of course he is loyal to Li Na."

Yang Meng's eyes widened, Zhou Qian's words really shocked him, Han Baoyi is actually Li Na's brother-in-law? He immediately realized? If this person can't stay in Dengzhou, it will be a big deal for the lord.

Yang Meng lowered his head and walked a few steps? asked again: "Zhou County Ling thinks I am arresting Han Baoyi alone?" Or do you want to expand the scope a little more? ”

Zhou Qian was secretly happy in his heart, the other party trusted him? He hurriedly said: "Han Baoyi came to Dengzhou last year to take up his post, and his popularity in Dengzhou is not good?" Do you usually rely on two people the most? One is Wang Feng, a staff member, and the other is his brother-in-law Jiang Miao. ”

"What about his family?" Yang Meng asked again.

"His wife and children are all in Qizhou, not Dengzhou, he only has one concubine in Dengzhou."

Yang Meng thought for a while and asked, "How did these two people you said find them?" ”

Zhou Qian hurriedly said: "General Yang can send troops to take Han Baoyi away at night?" These two lowly know where they live? They may be handed over to the generals by their humble posts. ”

"Does Zhou County Order need manpower?"

Zhou Qian shook his head, "Half of the two hundred militia soldiers in the county are controlled by lowly positions, and if you arrest these two people, lowly duties can be done." ”

Yang Meng looked at the sky? It was already dusk, so he said to Zhou Qian: "Two watches tonight? I will send an army into the city, and when the time comes, please ask Zhou County to open the north gate for me! ”

"I will fully cooperate with the general!"

.........

Two watches at night? A thousand soldiers rushed to the north gate under the leadership of the general Li Huang, and they waved torches? The gates open? Li Huang led the soldiers to rush in? Zhou Xizhu ran down from the city and said, "I am Brother Zhou County, please come with me, general." ”

He ran to the official residence of the assassin with a thousand soldiers, pointed to the official mansion and said, "This is the mansion of the Han assassin!" ”

Li Huang waved his hand, and a thousand soldiers divided into two roads, five hundred soldiers surrounded the mansion, and another five hundred people climbed into the courtyard wall, opened the gate, and five hundred soldiers rushed in.

Li Huang did not enter the inner house, standing in the atrium with his hands in his hands, and after a while, more than a dozen soldiers pushed a middle-aged man out, he was only wearing a white middle coat, barefoot, and his hair was scattered, his eyes were full of horror and anger, his mouth was gagged with rags, his feet were barefoot, and his hands were tied behind his back, this person was Han Baoyi, he didn't know what was going on, how could the Jin army arrest him?

Could it be that his identity has been revealed? How is it possible, Jin Jun just arrived today, and it is impossible for them to know their relationship with Li Na.

This is, Han Baoyi suddenly saw Zhou Xizhu standing in the corner, and in an instant, he suddenly understood that it was the county order Zhou Qian who betrayed him.

"Woo-woo-"

Han Baoyi stared at Zhou Xizhu and shouted angrily, but the sound he made was only a muffled whine.

He was quickly pushed away by the soldiers, who pushed him into a wagon and drove towards the barracks outside the city.......

At the same time, Wang Feng and Han Baoyi, who lived nearby, were also arrested by Zhou Qian and sent to the barracks.

This happened in the middle of the night, most of the people were sleeping, the Jin army was fast in and out, everything remained the same after dawn, and it had no effect on the ordinary people, just like a pebble thrown into the lake, and disappeared without a trace.

Yang Meng did not kill Han Baoyi, and a few days later, he sent a boat to send Han Baoyi and the others to the estuary to be imprisoned.

Two months later, Zhou Qian, the county magistrate, was promoted to the governor of Deng, which was also a reward for his meritorious service.

.........

Three days later, Li Bing led an army of 40,000 to Penglai County with 300 warships, and joined forces with Yang Meng's 30,000 troops, the total number of Jin troops in Dengzhou reached 70,000, Li Bing became the commander of the capture of Qi, at the same time, 200 5,000 stone ships transported a large amount of grain and materials from Hekou Port, 70,000 Jin soldiers were well fed and ready, and they quietly waited for news from Chang'an.

The war to besiege Licheng County, the capital of Qi State, went extremely unsmoothly, the war had been carried out on the eighth day, 150,000 Zhu Zhu's army besieged Licheng County, with tens of thousands of casualties, but still failed to capture Licheng County.

On this morning, the drums of war rumbled, and on the battlefield, 30,000 troops were desperately attacking the city, and the arrows were raining down on the city, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and there were constantly cloud ladders being overturned, and a string of soldiers on it screamed and fell to the ground.

Zhu Jun's army put in dozens of heavy siege ladders, this kind of siege ladder has a large base, the base is pressed with boulders, making it extremely heavy, the long wooden ladder is flat on the ground, it has been hung with soldiers in advance, when the bottom of the two long iron cables pulled back, the long siege ladder was pulled up, 'Boom! With a loud bang, the wooden ladder slammed into the city wall, and several soldiers on the ladder could not withstand the strong impact, and fell from the ladder screaming.

The city had already been prepared, and poured a pot of fire oil on the head, and then lit it with a torch, and immediately burst into flames, and the whole siege turned into a long fire bar, and the soldiers on the ladder turned around and jumped down, and many soldiers fell directly on the boulder at the base, and suddenly the flesh and blood were blurred, and they died tragically on the spot.

At this time, ten large arrow towers were slowly pushed to a hundred steps away by thousands of soldiers, and there were three hundred soldiers on each arrow tower, and after entering the firing range, the soldiers on the arrow towers began to shoot the Qi army at the head of the city with crossbow arrows.

But Licheng County is not Dong'e County, the city wall of Licheng is tall and wide, large trebuchets and stone cannons are installed on it, several trebuchets adjust the range, and at the same time launch the oil jars, one by one the jars filled with fire oil fly out, two oil jars hit the arrow tower, the jar is broken, the fire oil flows down the wood, and immediately dozens of rockets shoot at the arrow tower, and the fire oil on the arrow tower is ignited.

One after another, the oil jar was thrown past, the fire became bigger and bigger, and the wood began to burn, and after a while, the smoke was billowing out, and the entire arrow tower was engulfed in flames, and the people on it fled in a hurry, and many people stepped into the air, fell down from the arrow tower several feet high, and fell heavily to the ground, unable to move.

The battlefield was filled with thick smoke and flames, the morale of Zhu Zhu's army was low, and the casualties increased, and the Qi army at the head of the city became more and more courageous, and hundreds of enemy troops who had already rushed to the head of the city were also killed.

Seeing that he couldn't take the city, Zhu Jun had to sigh and say, "Order to collect the troops!" ”

'When! While! While! ’

The battle lasted for more than two hours, and the 30,000 Zhu Zhu army suffered more than 8,000 casualties, and the city also paid more than 2,000 casualties.

The large camp of the Zhu Jun army is located five miles away from the east of Licheng County, the whole camp covers an area of thousands of acres, the flag is like a cloud, the momentum is magnificent, in addition to more than 100,000 soldiers in the barracks, there are thousands of craftsmen accompanying the army, they build siege weapons, repair damaged weapons.

But the siege failed for eight consecutive days, with heavy casualties, low morale of the army, and serious war weariness among the soldiers, especially when a tuberculosis began to spread in the barracks, and thousands of soldiers were infected, many of whom coughed up blood.

In the king's tent, Zhu Jun listened to Liu Sigu's latest illness report expressionlessly, "Your Majesty, Weichen has seen with his own eyes that two soldiers have died, and dozens of soldiers are also in danger, and I don't know where this tuberculosis is transmitted from now?" We must attach great importance to it. ”

Zhu Jun said impatiently: "There are tens of thousands of injured soldiers, and hundreds of soldiers who die of serious injuries die a day, what is the death of two soldiers?" Don't bother with this kind of! ”

"Your Majesty, if you don't pay attention to this kind of tuberculosis, more and more people will be infected, first of all, they will lose their combat effectiveness, Your Majesty, this is also unbearable for us, and it is no different from dying in battle!"

This sentence touched Zhu Jun a little, for him, the loss of combat effectiveness is even more serious than death, at least the death of the battle does not have to consume food, just eat food and not go to the battlefield, Zhu Jun can't stand it.

"You don't have to report this matter to me, you can do it yourself, if you want to isolate, you will be isolated, if you want to be cured, I will be cured, I don't have so much energy to take care of these things."

"Wechen.... Weichen means to temporarily stop attacking Licheng. Liu Sigu said.

Zhu Zhu's eyes immediately turned cold, and he snorted, "What do you mean by this?" ”
