Blood spilled on the battlefield under the blood cloud, the Khitan soldiers cleaned the battlefield and rescued the wounded while digging soil and digging ditches to build trenches, and when cleaning up the battlefield, they found the captain's seal letter and Youzhou city defense map left in the pool of blood, and after several reports, it was presented to the king's tent of Yelu Abaoji.

Yelu Abaoji: What do you think?

Relic: Brother Huang, judging from this seal letter and the city defense map, the whereabouts of Zatu and the others have been discovered, so in my brother's humble opinion, this thing was definitely not inadvertently left on the battlefield.

Yelu Abaoji: According to Aiqing's opinion, what is the intention of this deliberately dropped seal letter and city defense map?

Relic: Brother Huang, in the opinion of the ministers, this is a suspicious plan! The Jin soldiers left this thing with nothing more than two meanings, first, it is clear that the scouts have been broken and they are demonstrating to us; 2. Misleading our army in the choice of siege location with the city defense map.

Xiao Dilu: Your Majesty, the ministers think that what General Shelisu said is very true! It is not difficult to see from this map of the city defense that this is drawn by Captain Zatu himself, but it is also suspicious because of this. As we all know, for the scouts, the enemy situation can be said to be more important than life, Zatu has followed the emperor for many years of loyalty, even if he dies, he will definitely not hand over this map to the Jin army, so in the opinion of the minister, this map must be deceitful.

Yelu Abaoji: Aiqing doesn't know, Zatu is under the jurisdiction of you and others, and he directly returned to me during the war, judging from the particularity of the text on the map, this picture must be its authentic handiwork, and it is definitely not drawn by the persecution of the abduction state. Therefore, I expected that Dingzha Tu must have been intercepted and killed on the way back, and it was difficult to have a chance to destroy this map because of the suddenness of the incident!

Relic: Imperial Brother Shengming! In this case, the point is to find out whether this diagram has been altered to induce us to use the wrong force.

Xiao Dilu: That's true! The Jin thief really has sinister intentions! It is not difficult to see from the map that there are obvious changes in the defense of the west of the city, which has become easy to attack and uncomfortable, while the east of the city is quite mysterious, and it is difficult to see the slightest sign of change from the map. It seems that the high walls and deep pits are easy to defend and difficult to attack, but in fact, it may be the opposite!

Relic: What the Prime Minister said is extremely true! Brother Huang, please see, this picture is really strange. The more the Jin thieves don't want us to attack the east of the city, we have to do the opposite and catch him off guard!

Yelu Abaoji: What a good one did the opposite, and woke me up. Ladies and gentlemen, think about it, what is this city defense map that we are most afraid of? What's the easiest thing to think of?

Relic: Returning to the emperor's brother, the first thing that the ministers thought of was that the defense map had been tampered with, and what they were most afraid of was that it had been changed beyond recognition.

Yelu Abaoji: No...... What we're most afraid of is that there is no change! Such a virtual reality is the most difficult to estimate and the best strategy!

When the monarch and the ministers were discussing, a close minister entered the account outside the tent, and reported that two military commanders who had been captured before were found in the battle array. Yelu Abaoji heard the words slightly.

Yelu Abaoji: This is interesting, not only did they leave a seal letter and a defense map, but they also left two big living people. Bring it on!

Relic: A shameless man who is as weak as a dog or a sheep, he still has the face to come back!

Prisoner A: General, if we hadn't heard some favorable news from our army in the enemy camp, how could we have endured the humiliation and survived so far?

Relic: I, the Khitan, am the prairie eagle, and I have always only had the power to plunder the sheep, so how can I be trapped by the sheep! If you can really bring some useful information today, if you talk nonsense and disturb the hearts of our army in order to get rid of your guilt, you will be immediately killed!

Prisoner B: General, since the day we were captured, we have felt that life is worse than death, and today we have no face to return to the camp, and the reason why we have survived to this day is because of a heart of loyalty. After the Jin thieves were defeated one after another, the army was unstable and the commander had been changed, and he was the fierce general in the red robe and red armor today.

Sarisu: Oh? I knew that guy was the boss of the Jin thief, I really wanted to meet him for a while!

Xiao Dilu: The Jin thieves disturbed the army today, why did they bring you and others here? The prairie eagle also learned to be the guiding blue bird of the Central Plains! How unreasonable!

Captive A: Returning to the general, just because the Jin thief and the general were not in harmony, they made a military order to gamble with each other. The white horse general stood in the midst of the hosts...... Take the head of the general of our army, and coerce us to go there in order to identify the general of the army. However, we didn't say a word along the way, and please ask the general to know it!

Xiao Dilu: Why do you believe that his generals are not in harmony? Isn't it a good show that Jin thieves are waiting for!

Captive B: The villain's life can be guaranteed! The white robe will ...... The thief is the thief who captured the villain that day, his personality is perverse and disrespectful, the villain saw with his own eyes that he and the former marshal were tense, and today because of the shortage of grain and grass in the city and the successor marshal roared, gambling with each other and making a military order. The white-robed Jin thief took the head of our army's general, and the red-robed Jin thief took the head of our army's grain road......

Sarisu: What did you say? Is there a shortage of grain and grass in the Jin thief city? How do you know? Hurry up! If there is half a untrue statement, the three tribes will be wiped out!

Prisoner B: Returning to the general, the Jin thieves have changed three meals a day to two meals a day, and the army is even more complaining, and the discord between the generals and commanders is also caused by this incident. What the villain said is true, and he is willing to vouch for his life!

Captive A: The villain is willing to vouch for his life!

Relic: Wonderful! The Jin thieves do not continue to have food and grass, the generals are not harmonious, and the city is broken in a moment!

Yelu Abaoji: It is a taboo in the army that the generals are not harmonious, and the shortage of food and grass is the secret of the army. From my point of view, you can't wait for Jiang Gan'er of Cao Ying!

Sarisu: Come on, pull it out and behead it for public display!

Prisoner B: The general spares his life! We have seen everything we have said with our own eyes, and we dare not deceive it in the slightest.

Yelu Abaoji: Forget it, I will be exempted from the death penalty today, and if he is captured again on the battlefield in the future, he will be wiped out.

Prisoner A, Prisoner B: King Xie, King Xie......

Xiao Dilu: The emperor is sage! Such secrets in the army could not be easily discovered by the captives. However, the shortage of food and grass, even if it lies to deceive these two stupid donkeys and confuse the public, it is very easy to cause instability in the army's morale. Even if it is explained afterwards, I am afraid that it will be difficult to consolidate the morale of the army, and such a foolish plan is not the work of a wise general. Looking back at his position as a coach, he participated in the robbery of the camp, which shows that this person is not a calm and scheming person!

Yelu Abaoji: Aiqing must not be blindly happy, I think this person is not an idle person! Looking at it from a distance today, this person is heroic! Although we took the opportunity of the Li thief to march south to Zhuliang, it was difficult to be sure that the Li thief would not go north to relieve the siege, and based on the northwest, we would encircle him for a few days, and it would not be too late for our army to establish a solid foundation and find out the enemy's situation before acting.

Relicsu, Xiao Dilu: The ministers obey the holy decree!

Let's say that outside Youzhou City, Xiao Yulin walked in front of the team with his back against the sunset, Yuan Douyu and others staggered a position to follow, and the rest of the soldiers strode forward around a grain truck. The city wall is high and wide, crowded with the soldiers of the three armies, Tang Chihu, Song Xiangpeng, Ji Shengyuan, Shan Risheng and other people are dressed in horses outside the city to respond, everyone sees the grain cart from a distance and is all happy, and they all shout "Xue Shuai" more than that! Compared with the closer distance, I saw a head hanging from the neck of General Yuan Douyu's white horse, and the blood stained the entire chest of the red and white horse, and the soldiers felt even more encouraged.

Ji Sheng saw this situation and immediately turned his horse back to the city, and then quickly climbed the city tower, picked up two three-foot drumsticks upstairs, and beat the drums, and suddenly the crowd was excited, hey! Hey! Hey! A war song sounded. Xiao Yulin greeted the admiring gaze of everyone who threw him on his majesty, put away the long lance on the shoulders of his robe, rode his horse across the suspension bridge over the moat, passed through the city gate hole, and went straight to the handsome tent amid the cheers of the soldiers! The rest marched into the city at his pace. The drums and trumpets in the army are noisy and lively.

The Huotou army was busy under the leadership of Hua Shengnan, killing pigs and sheep, cooking cattle and ducks as if it was the New Year, the soldiers ate and drank until the time of the year, and the friends of the ugly and ugly, Li Zhong and Yu Wuving led a team of men and horses to gallop from the west of the city, and at dawn, the soldiers in the west of the city changed back to the handsome tent again. Xiao Yulin urgently recruited Li Zhong to enter the account, and after a short time, Li Zhong came to the future and Yuan Douyu took the lead in the account.

Yuan Dou Yong: (kneeling) The last general is arrogant and disobedient, please Xue Shuai to punish him!

Xiao Yulin: (support) General Yuan, please get up quickly, yesterday the general and the enemy camp beheaded the general to strengthen the prestige of our army, and the commander did not have time to reward and come to punish him?

Yuan Dou Ray: Xue Shuai! Xue Shuai said this, and the fighting dragon was ashamed!

Xiao Yulin: General Yuan is in charge of the division of tigers and leopards, if there is no courage and might, how can he serve the public? Yesterday, you and I will live up to the trust of the King of Jin, and we will live up to the tens of thousands of people in Youzhou in the coming days!

Yuan Dou Yong: Xue Shuai Tian's grace, Dou Yong's heart comprehends, only the battlefield serves to repay the great kindness!

Xiao Yulin: General Yuan is brave and martial, and the marshal knows that the general has long had the intention of meeting friends with martial arts, and after retreating from the enemy, the marshal and the general will compete in front of the tent and be about brothers!

Yuan Dou Ray: The last general is commanded!

During the conversation, Li Zhong hurried over, Yuan Douyu said goodbye and returned to the camp, and after Li Zhong paid a visit, Xiao Yulin gave Li Zhong a knee to talk. The two tacitly talked about yesterday's events, and Xiao Yulin was a little concerned about the general and friend who paid attention to sleep, and then went straight to the point.

Xiao Yulin: According to Ruzhi's statistics, are there skilled craftsmen in Youzhou City who are good at civil engineering and stone?

Li Zhong: Hui Xueshuai, since the siege of the Khitan city, all the skilled craftsmen in the city have been included in the camp, and the lieutenants Li Jiang and Li Jujin, who are engaged in urban defense civil engineering, crossbows, and stone-throwing equipment, are good at this.

Xiao Yulin: If you build a stone wall slightly lower than the height of the city between the city and Guo in the west of the city, how many days do you estimate it will take?

Li Zhong: Yu Xue Shuai, Lu Long's important town is a big pond, even if the distance between the north and south city walls is much smaller than the distance between the east and west, but compared to other cities, it is still a big city, and the enemy soldiers are under the city, and it is difficult for the soldiers to do their best to build the defense, so it is estimated that the end will be more than a month.

Xiao Yulin: No! One week only!

Li Zhong: A week? (Suspicious)

Xiao Yulin: Oh, this is a soldier's code word, specifically referring to the seven days.

Li Zhong: Xue Shuai, seven days is too urgent, and it is difficult to complete! The army besieged the city, let's not talk about anything else, this wood and stone alone is quite difficult to find, and the wall in seven days is comparable to climbing to the sky, Xue Shuai!

Xiao Yulin: Demolish the houses to collect materials, recruit the people as craftsmen, wait for the enemy's Japanese handsome relatives to lead the soldiers to rebuild the houses for the people, and when the food is recorded, the handsome will personally estimate the money and grain for the people. Seven or eight out of 10 soldiers were dispatched to build the project with all their might, and after the military and civilian were mixed, they were divided into eight groups and completed as soon as possible, day and night. There is no need to worry about defense, Ben Shuai is sure that the Khitan traitors will not dare to attack for the time being!

Li Zhong: The last general will obey the order, do it immediately!

After Li Zhong left, Xiao Yulin hurriedly recruited Li Jujin and Shi Zhankui into the account.

Xiao Yulin: Mr. Shi knows astronomy and geography, is good at judging the good fortune before and after, and is good at divination yin and yang.

Shi Zhankui: (contemplative) Yu Xue Shuai, the white tiger is good for the spring, if the main army is in the West. If the ground is broken in the west, it will be a good sign that the army will take advantage of it, and it will be a good day for the army. If you break ground elsewhere, although there is a small profit, it is not as good as the auspicious position in the West. I don't know where Xue Shuai wants to break the ground?

Xiao Yulin: Mr. Shi is clever, and the location of the ground breaking is the west of the city! I also asked the gentleman to prepare a ground-breaking talisman and use it for the groundbreaking ceremony tomorrow.

Shi Zhankui: Win one and take the order!

Xiao Yulin: Yulin heard that Brother Jujin is a master craftsman of the imperial dynasty, and Mr. Zhao came today to discuss the construction of another longitudinal city wall between the west and the city, and the personnel and materials have been prepared. This matter is all for city defense, not for personal pleasure, and I hope that Mr. will not shirk the thousands of people in Youzhou.

Li Jujin: Marshal Xiao, an old minister of the old dynasty, once saw the Qionglou rise, and also saw the dynasty tilt, there was a house in front of him, and Huaqing in the back, and he knew the disadvantages of working hard and hurting money to build a building, so he swore never to build a wall many years ago; In addition, there is a prohibition of fire and earth for breaking the ground and building a foundation, and there is a prohibition of four times. It is said that the old man should not have broken his oath to serve, but for the sake of the people of Youzhou, the old man is willing to take the oath of the day!

Xiao Yulin: Yulin represents tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Youzhou, Mr. Xie's righteous feat! (bends over and clenches into fists)

After the two left, Xiao Yulin recruited Yu Invincible into the account.

Xiao Yulin: Mr. Yu, Mr. Zhao came here today mainly to bother Mr. Lao to write an essay on the crusade against the Khitan rebels, to encourage the ambition of the soldiers, and to stimulate the pride of the small family of Li Minshe for everyone. When the gentleman returns, he will proceed with the matter, and I hope that the gentleman will come back at dusk.

Yu Invincible: Only!

After everything was arranged, Xiao Yulin grabbed the three-foot long blade that was lying on the shelf next to the handsome tent, tied it around his waist, and led the three or five personal soldiers to the West Gate to inspect the field again.
