In the council hall above Wang Mao's mansion, everyone was still discussing.

"I really didn't expect that Yan Wangkang would be able to make Yan Kingdom change so much in just over ten years. After ascending the throne, he destroyed Qi Nawei and defeated the Lianheng armies of the Central Plains countries. ”

The chubby man looked at everyone and said in a low voice.

Someone snorted coldly and said: "Not only that, now there are four counties in the west of Taixing in my Zhao Kingdom, and there are already three counties that belong to the territory of Yan Kingdom." As for my Jinyang County, I don't think the time that belongs to Yan Country will not be too long. ”

"Now Lecheng has informed me of the various families in Jinyang City, not only to send people to help defend the city, but also to donate money and materials. The most excessive thing is that I was asked to open the granaries of our respective homes to supply food for the soldiers and civilians in the city. ”

"Yan Jun is just like what Brother Wang Mao said just now, with clear grievances. If the Zhao army can hold Jinyang City, then it's okay. However, I'm afraid I can't hold it! Once Jinyang City is breached by the Yan army, our family will inevitably be involved. ”

As soon as this person said that, everyone in the hall sighed.

Those of us in Jinyang are really not easy.

"This Lecheng is also true, now Jinyang City has been surrounded by the Yan Army, and he has so many soldiers under him, he actually didn't go out to fight the Yan Army outside the city, but retreated in Jinyang City."

"If this goes on for a long time, when will it end? When the two or three hundred thousand people in the city have to eat and drink, even when the food will run out sooner or later, how will we deal with it? ”

Some people in the hall began to be dissatisfied with Lecheng.

In times of crisis, the selfish and ugly side of human nature is now fully manifested in these families.

Wang Mao looked at the people in the hall again, and looked extremely troubled like everyone else.

He cleared his throat and said to everyone: "Everyone, you just said a lot, but I don't know, will Handan send troops to reinforce my Jinyang City?" ”

The chubby man sneered and said, "Huh! Handan, forget it! My cousin came back with a letter a few days ago, saying that now in Handan City, the people are also panicked, and they don't know when the Yan army will attack Handan? ”

"I said that this Wang Shang and Pingyuan Jun are too, originally my Zhao State and Yan Country are the country of relatives, and Yan Wang Kang and Empress Dowager Yan have also helped my Zhao State many times when my Zhao State is in danger."

"You're good, why do you have to listen to the bewitchment of that old thief of King Qin, and participate in any kind of rebellion. It's good now, if you can't steal chickens, you will lose a handful of rice, which will attract Yan Jun to commit a big attack. ”

Wang Mao hurriedly said to this person: "Brother Zhao, be cautious! ”

The chubby man snorted coldly:

"Brother Wang, to this day, what are you still cautious about! There are no reinforcements outside this Jinyang City, and there is no grain and grass inside, so I think sooner or later it will fall into the hands of Yan Guo. At that time, what should we do as a family? If you want me to say, let's just get in touch with Yan Jun through our own relationships, so that we can protect ourselves. ”

When everyone heard this man's words, their eyes flashed.

After half a ring, Wang Mao said to everyone with a sad face:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we and the rest of us here have been on good terms with each other for hundreds of years, and now we have to advance and retreat together. Don't forget, Lecheng is not a native of my Jinyang, it turns out that he is a general of Yan Kingdom, who knows what will happen in the future? ”

None of the people present were stupid, and they all understood the meaning of Wang Mao's words.

After looking at each other, they both nodded slightly.

During these two days, the Yan army bombarded the city wall with catapults every day, and did not carry out bombardment.

Seeing the Yan army like this, the soldiers of the Zhao army guarding the city couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At night, in the study room on the Lecheng Mansion, the atmosphere is like the yellow lights in the house, which is a little heavy.

After reading a document in his hand, Le Cheng sighed to Tianchang and said to the deputy general:

"The king asked me to hold on to Jinyang City and wait for reinforcements."

The adjutant general Hu Hui frowned, clenched his fists and said to Lecheng:

"General, what can the king say, who will send the army to help?"

Le Cheng shook his head and said to Hu Yu with a wry smile:

"General Hu Xi, where are there any reinforcements now? As far as I know, at present, in the east, the Yan army also has hundreds of thousands of troops around Handan, eyeing the tiger. Lian Po and Pang Xuan, two veterans, were both restrained by the Yan army, and they did not dare to move in the slightest. ”

Hu Hui said "ah" and said to Lecheng:

"General, according to what you say, Jinyang City can only rely on us."

Le Cheng didn't answer Hu Xi's words, just put down the paperwork in his hand and paced slowly in the study.

After a while, he said to Hu Xu: "In the past two days, the Yan army has only blindly bombarded the city wall with catapults, and has not attacked. My cousin did this, it seems that he didn't want Yan Jun to suffer too many casualties. ”

Speaking of this, Le Cheng sneered twice and continued to Hu Xi:

"Pass my order, prepare more bows and crossbows, rolling logs and stones on the city wall, and strengthen the guard. In addition, more people in the city can be mobilized to repair the damaged parts of the city wall; Soldiers should be sent to patrol the city, and anyone who disturbs the people's will be arrested and put in prison. ”

"No." Adjutant General Hu Hui replied.

Le Cheng accompanied Hu Yi out of the study and found that there was a lot of fog outside.

"General, the weather is starting to get cold, you better go back to your room and rest." Hu Hui said to Lechengdao.

Lecheng nodded and returned to the study.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and it seems that God is still helping him. As long as it lasts for a month, this severe cold will be even more unfavorable to the Yan army besieging the city.

When the Yan army was tired, it was time for him to lead the army to counterattack.

Thinking of this, Lecheng couldn't help but feel a little relieved, yawned, and went to rest.

At this moment, inside the Chinese army tent of the Yan army camp outside the city, the lights were bright.

The head of the Yan army, Lejian, put down the silk in his hand and smiled.

A man dressed in ordinary people's clothes asked:

"At three o'clock, open the south gate, can you be sure?"

This man, dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, bowed down and said to Lejian:

"General, I'm all ready, please rest assured."

Rakuma laughed twice: "Okay, you've worked hard too." Let's go down to the rest first, and you'll lead the way later. As long as you attack Jinyang City, the general will definitely ask you for credit to the king. ”

"Thank you, General." The man, dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, bowed and withdrew from the tent.

Seeing this intelligence officer from Jinyang City, after walking out of the tent, Le Jian couldn't help but sigh:

"The role of the Intelligence Bureau is getting bigger and bigger!"

After that, he shouted loudly outside the tent: "Someone." ”

Immediately, a guard came in from outside the tent, hugged his fists and said, "General." ”

"Quickly send someone to pass my general order, and order all the generals to gather in the big tent quickly."

"No." This guard bowed down to receive the order, and hurried out to give the order.

Many generals of the Yan army, neatly armored, lined up on both sides.

On the throne of Changguo, the monarch of Changguo, his face was solemn, and his eyes swept after the generals.

He ordered loudly: "My intelligence officers in the city have sent information, and the city will be broken tonight." ”

Suddenly the armor and sabers in the tent rang out, and all the generals of the Yan Army looked at the music room.

Time was pressing, and Le Jian didn't want to explain too much, so he immediately ordered: "Where is Rong Yan?" ”

Chang Rongyan of the First Army stepped forward and stood up: "General, the last general." ”

"General Rong Yan, your department happens to be stationed in Nancheng, you will go back immediately to lead your department, wait for three o'clock, after the gate is opened, give me to attack the city as soon as possible." Rakuma commanded.

"The last will obey." Rong Yan shouted his order.
