The cannon fire outside Youzhou City has never stopped, and the whole city is trembling. There was no one on the street, and the huge city seemed to have become a dead city! Only the army is moving in groups in a hurry from time to time.

The city was full of smoke and smoke, and the walls had collapsed and were in a mess. In the air, a pigeon swooped down into the city in panic.

"Goo-goo!" A Khitan man with hair reached into the pigeon cage, grabbed out the gray pigeon that had just flown in, saw that there was something tied to his leg, hurriedly and carefully untied it, and turned around and said, "Hey, I'm going to report the news." ”

Xiao Siwen was standing on a pavilion, watching the stones roll down from the air to the city wall in the distance. On the left and right stood Xiao Abudi, Fan Zhongyi and other civil and military personnel, and a group of foot riders below guarded the pavilion.

A cloth-clothed Khitan man rode over and muttered a few words below, and a military general led him up the narrow wooden staircase to the platform.

Xiao Siwen took it and looked at it, and said: "The cavalry of the two battalions of the Zhou army has gone south, and the infantry on the periphery of Youzhou has also evacuated a large number of south. ”

"It seems that Brother Yelu Hugh has made a move in the south, and our threat has suddenly become a lot smaller." Fan Zhongyi said.

Xiao Siwen nodded silently.

The principle of carrier pigeons to deliver news is that they will fly home, Xiao Siwen has been prepared, in order to pass on the news when the city is besieged, mainly feed the carrier pigeons in two places, Youzhou City and Danzhou. Needless to say, the importance of Youzhou City, Danzhou is also a key place, because of the control of the north entrance.

Now that Youzhou City is besieged, the Liao army scouts outside can still pass the news back through carrier pigeons. Xiao Siwen can also spread the news to Danzhou...... But the news could not be transmitted directly to Jeruxiugo from the air. (After all, carrier pigeons are not airplanes.) ）

Xiao Siwen pondered for a moment and said: "Use the pigeons of Danzhou to send a letter to the past, and write 'Report to Brother Hugh, the main force of the Zhou division is going south'." ”

"Yes." The man who had just gone upstairs bowed.

Fan Zhongyi said: "The Zhou army has transferred a large number of infantry and cavalry from Youzhou, and there is a big gap in the east besieged city, so our horsemen can go out from Youzhou to deal with Yelu Huge." ”

Abudi said coldly: "There are not many soldiers in Youzhou, Brother Yelu Xiu looks like Lao Tzu is the best in the world, and he calls himself the first tiger general in Daliao, how powerful he is!" Do you still need us to respond? ”

"Focus on the big picture." Xiao Siwen glanced at Ah Budi.

After the two major cavalry battalions of the Zhou army were transferred, the Youzhou army was indeed not a big threat from the east; However, Yelu Xiuge suddenly dispatched in the early hours of this morning, and the time was too urgent, and Xiao Siwen had not yet figured out the specific situation of the Liao army and the Zhou army. rushed out of the city, and didn't know how to deal with Yelu Hugo.

"Jeruhhuge is young and famous, and he is arrogant, but he does have real skills in using soldiers. This king still believes in him very much, and the Zhou army is not easy to deal with. Xiao Siwen exhaled, "But since you have the opportunity, you can order the cavalry to go out from the east gate and attack the Zhou army besieging the city." ”

Abudi agreed: "The most important thing for us is to defend Youzhou City. ”

Siu Siwen was noncommittal.

……

Guo Shao heard that after Yelu Hugo went south, he returned to Xuanren City yesterday and was no longer in Youzhou.

This place is located in the north of Caoqu and the south of Youzhou, which is the middle. But at this time, it was very quiet, and the sound of cannons in Youzhou could not be heard, nor could the sound of horses' hooves and fighting near Caoqu.

In the tranquility, Guo Shao looked at the air, but he could imagine that there was blood fighting on all sides.

In the signing room, there are more than 20 drawings in a row! Some of the maps are detailed, with a hillside, a forest, and a village marked on them. In addition, there are two sets of upper and lower structure charts of the intelligence system, and an organizational chart of the transmission of military orders.

The room was not large, standing or sitting dozens of people. Some people were writing "rustling", and some people were silently facing Guo Shao's side.

In the courtyard outside, two or three hundred heralds and officials of the former battalion military government stood in a line, and the emperor was inside, and they were all quiet; Everyone is always ready, once there is a military order, the order in that small signing room can be transmitted to the front in the most rigorous way and the fastest speed...... It can be specific to a hundred people!

In the silence, the atmosphere was inexplicably tense.

At this moment, an official bent down and walked into the signing room, bowed to the upper position, and walked to Wei Renpu and whispered a few words.

Wei Renpu immediately stood up and bowed: "Your Majesty, all the men and horses of Yelu Hugo are still in the northern section of Caoqu!" ”

"Very good." Guo Shao said in a deep voice.

Wei Renpu said: "Brother Yelu must have thought that the cavalry of the Great Zhou Dynasty were cavalry infantry on the other side of Yanzhou and in the south, but now he is really in the dark and becomes a monkey." As long as you hide it from him for a day, it's enough for him to drink a pot! ”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little warmer, and everyone said: "Your Majesty expects the enemy to be like a god, congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

Guo Shao said quietly: "It's still early to celebrate the crown." Yelu Hugo had 30,000 cavalry, and the cavalry of the Liao army was not vegetarian. Even if more than 50,000 cavalry of Li Chuyun's army set up a decisive battle with him, he was not 100% sure that he would be able to win a complete victory! Just wait. ”

His bright eyes were nervously concerned, but there was no joy or anger on his face, and he only paced slowly and thoughtfully in place.

Now, Guo Shao doesn't have to do anything, just wait. But the wait is a bit harder.

He wanted to go back and be quiet, but he was reluctant to leave, because he wanted to hear the results in the front yard as soon as possible.

After a long time, Guo Shao breathed a long sigh of relief and explained to himself: The worst result is to let go of Brother Yeluxiu!

Originally, today's big battle was not in the strategy, but Yelu Hugo fought very arrogantly and unrestrainedly, and the soldiers made dangerous moves, and unexpected fighters appeared......

The original strategy was that the main force of the Liao army did not go south, so it kept attacking Youzhou to exert pressure; Waiting for the main force of the Liao army to move south for the second time, it retreated to two lines of defense and continued to wear down.

Consume until the Liao army can't afford it!

It was impossible for the people of Yelu Hugo to cut off the supply line of the Zhou army's grain route, and at most they would cause some losses. Guo Shao has made a lot of money this time, and all the cities on the front line have hoarded a lot of grain and grass, even if the rear does not transport grain for two or three months, the short-distance supply line from Xuanren City to Youzhou alone can guarantee the frontline siege!

The only way that Jeruxiugo could substantially relieve Xiao Siwen's pressure was to harass the besieging army. But it was not easy, the cavalry of the Zhou army was enough to protect the surroundings; Even if he was occasionally succeeded by a sneak attack by Jeruxiugo, he would not be able to deal a substantial blow to the army.

Guo Shaoxin said: In this battle, I am fortunate to have won and lost my life. That's it!

Guo Shao suddenly smiled, looked back and said: "What we are doing now can be passed on for thousands of years in the future!" I can accomplish this great event with all of you, and I will never forget it. ”

Everyone said: "The ministers know the great ......" "Under the command of His Majesty, the same enemy is ashamed of the country, and the three lives are fortunate to ......"
