The old lady's love for her grandson and her spirit of sacrifice are touching. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

She spoils the heart of her eldest grandson, and old people like Li Zhu and Liu Wen also know it, but they just know it.

However, the old man really has the noble human qualities preached by Confucianism, and is wise, diligent and studious, brave and strong, stresses dedication and sacrifice, and practices himself, and has single-handedly cultivated sons and eldest grandsons with excellent conduct, and has established the fine traditions and qualities of Cangzhao, laying a humanistic foundation and charm for the prosperity of the family, which can be called great.

Such an old man deserves to be respected and loved, and there is no need to blame for a little partiality that does not affect the brilliance of human nature and the overall situation.

People have hobbies and preferences. It is inevitable that the old man will love the younger generation of Ruyi, and it is nothing.

Moreover, Zhao Gonglian is good enough, he is the dragon among people, and he is the best choice for political leaders. The old lady loves her eldest grandson, and it is not a bad thing to help her eldest grandson take power.

Li Zhu is essentially a hot-blooded Jianghu person, and he still likes to wear Taoist robes. Emotionally, he prefers to be close to the ordinary Zhao Yue rather than the politician Zhao Gonglian.

Liu Wen is undoubtedly closer to Zhao Gonglian. But he will not favor Zhao Gonglian in major matters because of this.

His family's creed is that only the head of the family is honored.

Whoever is the head of the house, the whole family will support him. Like his parents, he eventually only obeyed the orders of the owner.

But Zhao Gonglian is the successor set by the owner. That's it.

Liu Wen is willing to have such a result from family responsibilities and feelings, and is willing to support the old lady's risky sacrifice in this crisis.

Li Zhu and Liu Wen both understood in their hearts that Zhao Yue was too demonic, and in the heart of the old lady, I am afraid that he has not really regarded his little grandson as his own children and grandchildren, and it is more likely that he sees Cangzhao and Cangzhao Tianding have this kinship and bring about the miracle of creation. The old lady also loves Zhao Yue as a junior, but I am afraid that it is subtly different from loving her children and grandchildren.

What makes the two funny is that the old lady is more and more obviously influenced by her little grandson, and like Zhao Yue, she thinks that the Cangzhou Cangbei people who have enjoyed too many benefits with Cangzhao should bear the bloodshed and test of war in this disaster. It is not okay to just enjoy the benefits of rights and not bear obligations and responsibilities. At the very least, it has to be of the right quality.

If there is Cangzhao's leadership training and the killer weapon of force, people hide in advantageous castles but refuse to unite for their lives and property to fight bravely against the enemy, and one by one selfish and clever waiting for others to sacrifice to defend their own vital interests, and even secretly beg for mercy and surrender, then, the city is broken and slaughtered by the Liao barbarians, and it is also deserved.

Living in the atmosphere of unity and courage in Cangzhou and Cangbei, but still spineless and irresponsible, this kind of person does not deserve to be a happy citizen of the empire.

The people here are imperceptibly influenced by the spirit and thought of Cangzhao, and have also learned new knowledge and skills, the quality is not comparable to the immigrants in other places in the Great Song Dynasty, and when the overseas empire is dispersed to various places, it will undoubtedly take on the responsibility of guiding other Song immigrants, and they are natural backbones and even leaders at the grassroots level in all walks of life, and their social status is invisibly superior to other immigrants. Recognizing the importance of loyalty, unity, and the courage to sacrifice oneself at critical moments, he became a citizen of the empire, still selfish and numb, fierce and murderous in internal fighting, and benevolent, weak, and crooked in the outside world, not only unable to play a positive role with his own superiority, but also bringing bad immigrants from other places.

If you want to be a proud and powerful person, you must first have the excellent quality of being proud of the world, which is the root of everything in a strong country, otherwise where will the proud capital come from?

In the adventurous decision to drag down the Liao army, Li Zhu Liu Wen could also see that the old lady was also thinking about her younger grandson, not just the eldest grandson.

Zhao Yue was busy dealing with the 400,000 troops of the Qing Halal Mountain Rogues and the imperial court in the south, and successfully leveled the danger, but these two forces needed to be transferred away quickly and could not be delayed.

The old lady did not let Zhao Yue be informed of Zhao Zhuang's danger, and did not let Zhao Yue inevitably dispatch forces to the north to support immediately, but also considered that the little grandson would not be able to spare his hand for a while.

The old man has gone through ups and downs, and he has a clear grasp of priorities and urgency, and he is bold, obviously planning to resist for a few days with the strength of Zhuang Shang. Wait for the little grandson to deal with the rogues and the forbidden army before coming to save his hometown.

She firmly believes in the ability and wisdom of her two grandchildren, firmly believes that her beloved eldest grandson can withstand the test independently, and does not allow the northern army to squeeze out strength to participate in the Cangbei war, spoiling the opportunity for the eldest grandson to prove himself and establish authority in the army, and also believes that the younger grandson can come in time to support Zhaozhuang and the entire Cangzhou.

She didn't plan to use other forces of the empire to relieve the siege of Cangzhou, so she didn't tell her son about the danger here, so as not to worry and worry about his son.

Use Zhao Zhuang to drag down and weaken the Liao army, and when the time comes, Zhao Yue will lead the marines to kill, no need to divide troops to passively chase and kill everywhere, and there is no need to fight against so many enemies in the field, reducing the risk of battle, and the operation is good, maybe Zhao Zhuang can use the natural geographical advantage of Zhao Zhuang to trap the incoming enemy and create the legend of total annihilation of the enemy again.

In the final analysis, the old lady is still very concerned about the safety of her little grandson, but she doesn't show it easily.

As long as the smart superhuman little grandson can feel her heart. That's enough.

Li Zhu and Liu Wen's exchange opened their hearts.

All right. Since the old lady is indulging in the eagerness of the little grandson, and has made up his mind to resist the enemy independently, then do it.

......

Han Chang personally observed the geographical situation of Zhaozhuang on the spot based on the information obtained by the Liao State in the past, and finally determined his prior judgment.

It's a war Jedi death site.

Who is the one who dies, and which side is the absolute one, it depends on which side is weak and defeated.

This time, he led the troops himself, and his troops were strong, and he did not make the mistake of being arrogant and underestimating the enemy, and he took every step of the way. The weak one is Zhao Zhuang, and the dead one is Cang Zhao.

As long as this place blocks the road to the west, or even only needs to block the Xihe bridges in Zhaozhuang, the people of Zhaozhuang will have nowhere to go. Break the city, and Cangzhao will be exterminated by the Manchus.

He saw it and thought it clearly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

The smile concealed excitement, confidence, ambition, and the murderous determination to kill all the family members of Cangzhao here.

Emperor Liao fantasized about taking the hostages of Cangzhao to see if he could force Zhao Gonglian, a genius, to be used by the Great Liao State, Han Chang patted his chest and promised well, but he had other ideas in his heart.

He is a Han man who struggles to climb the power tower of the Liao State, and he is bent on seeking the prominent and powerful position of the Han family in the Liao State, restoring the scenery of the ancestor Han Derang, and striving to be the Han talent that the Liao Emperor attaches the most importance to, how can he help the Liao Emperor get a more talented and more dependent Han person to be a competitor with him, and damage the political future and fundamental interests of his family?

"Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi actually handed over this kind of task to me, a Han general, to complete, and the entrusted non-person is indeed a mediocre and ridiculous generation of Great Liao monarchs that everyone talks about in private."

Han Chang sneered in his heart, and he had already determined to swear to fight with Zhao Zhuang to the end, and he would never withdraw his troops if he did not destroy Cangzhao.

He is indeed still a standard Han in his bones, maintaining the Han people's enthusiasm for dealing with their fellow Han people and their most ferocious and powerful characteristics.

Back in the barracks, he immediately mobilized 2,000 infantry troops to test Zhao Zhuang's real and real details.

A thousand infantrymen with light shields carried ten siege ladders. Another thousand infantrymen held infantry shields and guarded the side of the light shield team facing Zhao Zhuang.

Han Chang highly suspected that Zhao Zhuang had a large number of long-range attack weapons such as divine arm crossbows and even bed crossbows, and judged that Zhao Zhuang was the only way to create magical achievements again and again, so he arranged them like this.

In order to find out whether Zhao Zhuang was like this, he also specially ordered the attacking troops to rush to Zhao Zhuang from the stone arch bridge closest to Zhao Zhuang, giving Zhao Zhuang a favorable opportunity to intercept and strike with long-range weapons.

However, the war began, and there was still no one on the castle.

In these years, as long as there is a little knowledge and experience, who is not afraid of the crit of the bed crossbow or the divine arm crossbow?

The power is too terrifying for humans to resist.

Heavy infantry shields made of thick wood and iron or raw cowhide could not withstand the fire of the bed crossbow, nor could they withstand the continuous fire of the divine arm crossbow. If the number of bed crossbow god arm crossbows is large and the firing is intensive, it is even more terrifying, it is definitely a soul-hooking thing, and it is difficult to survive within the range. No matter how high the martial arts are, no matter how fierce the generals are, they will be in vain.

The 2,000 Liao troops rushed to the stone bridge with fear under the constant urging of the leading generals, but unexpectedly nothing happened, and they crossed the stone bridge quickly and smoothly.

The Liao general who led the team was strictly ordered by Han Chang in advance, although he was extremely unwilling to take the risk of being cannon fodder to explore the enemy, but the military law was ruthless and did not dare to disobey, and if he did not listen to the military order, he would be beheaded by Han Chang, and he was ridiculed as a coward when he died.

The 2,000 Liao troops shouted loudly, raised their shields, lifted ladders, and swung their swords, and rushed to the castle with great momentum, and the terrifying atmosphere spread to the city, startling many children to cry loudly.

Hearing the familiar scene, the Liao army couldn't help but think of the joy of looting and slaughtering the Song people in the past.

But they were surprised to find in their excitement and nervousness that all this was called, but there was still no figure of the guards in Zhaozhuang Castle, and they couldn't even hear a sound.

Han Chang, who was watching the battle closely from a distance across the river, was also surprised.

This is all rushed to the front of the city wall, and the cloud ladder can be set up to attack the city and kill, why don't the people of Zhao Zhuang use bows and arrows to intercept and shoot?

This is the most conventional, and the most effective and necessary means of blocking the approach of the besieging army and reducing the pressure of the defenders. Why didn't it happen, and didn't even see anyone?

Is it that the Great Song Dynasty strictly restricts the township Yong, and even the Zhaozhuang people of the Wencheng Marquis family cannot be equipped with military bows and arrows strictly prohibited by the government, and there are no conditions for intercepting bows and arrows?

It is the people of the Cangzhao family who heard the alarm and knew that the enemy had fled here by boat or something in advance, and the rest of the castle is now ordinary people such as Zhaozhuang's tenant farmers, even if they have received the military training that Cangzhao has engaged in daily, have a little military knowledge, and know some fighting skills, but they still have no resistance to the fierce and aggressive strong army, and they have no courage and no master to lead everyone to Putrajaya defense, in this primeval forest with many wild beasts on three sides, it is a lake, a boundless sea, and there is nowhere to escape, so you can only close the city gate and shrink in the city to tremble and wait for death?

Or is there some unexpected and terrible conspiracy in Cangzhao, waiting for the enemy to attack the city and advance and retreat, and it is not good to annihilate it in one fell swoop?

Han Chang couldn't help but sigh: Da Liao has always wanted to get rid of Cangzhao, but after so many years of reconnaissance, so many times, and so many deaths, he is still blind to the key secrets of Zhao Zhuang.

No matter how smart and knowledgeable he is, he can't judge what the situation is in Zhao Zhuangli right now.

But Cang Zhao Wei is famous all over the world.

It was a hard-fought prestige, not something that Dr. Song Shi was good at blowing out of his mouth. The bloody and profound lesson of the annihilation of the entire army in the past is an ironclad fact that Han Chang now knows all about. The deeds and traditional style of the Cangzhao family's toughness against the enemy, never yielding and never flinching are vividly visible, and the world has heard of them, so they are respected by the Song people as the Iron Courage Stone Heart Iron Bone Village. Han Chang didn't believe that this time, the Cangzhao family would abandon the family's tradition and reputation for fear of being wiped out because of the fear of coming to the enemy, and abandon his subordinates, Zhuang Min, and flee for his life.

If the Cangzhao family is such a group of people who know the times, it is impossible for them to dare to challenge the Great Liao, which is feared by the country, and create such a great record of prestige, nor can they be represented by Wen Chenghou again and again to threaten that the Great Liao is not afraid to stimulate the Great Liao State to hate Cangzhao even more, causing Cangzhao's situation to become more dangerous and troublesome.

Zhao Gonglian can't do this just to be in the limelight.

Han Chang understood the treachery of the Han people, and was deeply jealous of Cangzhao, and at this moment he would rather choose to believe that Zhao Zhuang had prepared some vicious means, waiting for the Liao army to attack the city, but to send him to death.

If this operation wants to succeed and break the defeat of the Liao State here again and again, it is still necessary to be cautious and careful as the first principle.

Han Chang saw that the 2,000 subordinates who had been killed had rushed close to the city wall, and the commander of the team was hesitating whether to attack the city or withdraw immediately according to the instructions he had received in advance, so he decisively ordered to withdraw his troops.

When General Liao heard the horn, although he felt that Han Chang was too cautious and cautious, and despised that this Han man really lacked courage and courage than the Great Khitan warriors, and had the intention to take advantage of the situation to kill the head of the city and break the castle to wash Zhao Zhuang in blood, giving Han Chang, who had taken away the shit luck and was in power, to take a look, but he still honestly immediately led the team to retreat to the far side of Zhuangnan.

Helplessly, Emperor Liao and King Yan gave Han Chang too much power this time.

Anyone who participated in this mission with the army, regardless of whether you were the first warrior of the Khitan, the confidant of the Liao Emperor or the King of Yan, or the son of the noble royal family, no matter how much merit you had in the previous or this battle, if you dared not listen to the greeting, Han Chang could be killed on the spot without any guilt and trouble.

At this point, Emperor Liao personally promised Han Chang in public, as long as Han Chang let go and complete the task.

If Zhao Zhuang was broken but his head was cut off in violation of the order, then he would have died too unjustly.

The Liao generals who accompanied the army had seen Han Chang's ferocity and courage these days, and no one was willing to try a specific war, openly disobeying Han Chang's orders, and whether Han Chang dared to kill himself.

After finding out the results, Han Chang decided to follow the plan drawn up in advance, and ordered the heavy stone throwing machine components that he had brought with great difficulty to be transported across the West River.

For this battle, he deliberately tried to figure out one thing in advance.

Zhaozhuang, a castle made of irregular stones and cement, looks indestructible, and the manpower is really helpless, but in fact, it is most afraid of heavy bombardment.

No matter what powerful defense means Cangzhao has, as long as the castle is destroyed and the armed forces of Zhao Zhuang are no longer supported, then the rest is a matter of the mighty warriors of Daliao.
