Changdiangang, more than ten miles east of Yuhe County, is a gentle hillside, surrounded by deserted people. At this time, except for the sentinels scattered around Nagadian Oka patrolling, the middle was a soldier who had unloaded his armor and was resting, and the war horse was tied to him, gnawing on the grass at will.

Before dawn, there was no longer the coolness of the middle of the night, and the mist was still rising in the mountains in the distance, and it seemed that the sky was dawning. The soldiers were lying on the blankets and taking time to rest, while others were munching on dried meat and fried noodles from their food packets in preparation for the daybreak.

Zhou Nan, Yang Keshi, Gao Yuan and others were sitting on a spread of felt, and there were two people, wiping the sweat on their faces, drinking milk wine, it was Zuo Xiaosi and Gao Shouxiao.

Zuo Xiaosi should have been in Yanjing City at this time, and Gao Shouxiao was also a recent Zhuozhou who had recently descended from Sanssouci Village. According to Zhou Nan's instructions, Zuo Xiaosi preemptively informed the number of soldiers and horses in Yanjing City, the defense of the city wall, etc., and took advantage of accompanying Monk Jia to go around and find out clearly. Yesterday, he received a summons from Zhou Nan, asking him to rush to Yanjing West to meet before the early hours of this morning, and Zuo Xiaosi took advantage of the night to swim out of the river entering the city from the west of the city wall, and drove thirty miles to find Zhou Nan and them. And Gao Shouxiao was relaxed, after going down the mountain, he was looking for Zhou Fu, Zhou Fu just happened to find out the news that Xiao Gan led 5,000 horse troops to the south to pursue Liu Yanqing's deserters, and was about to send someone to chase Zhou Nan overnight and tell Zhou Nan the news, Gao Shouxiao followed Zhou Nan to Yanjing, and the terrain was also familiar, so he let Gao Shouxiao chase after him on horseback.

At this time, the two had already told Zhou Nan and others their news. Zhou Nan was nothing, Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi stood up and sat down excitedly, sat down and stood up again. Such a large Yanjing City, with only 5,000 people, has to guard eight city gates, and there are only 600 people on each gate. It's almost defenseless, and it's a godsend. The two of them smiled at each other, both of them had a general thought: Are their four thousand cavalry a bit of a bully?

Zhou Nan looked at the sky, stood up and said, "Fourth brother, you better go back to the city as soon as possible and act according to the plan." Brother Gao, Brother Yang, let's go. Rush into town in the morning! ”

Zhou Nan asked Zuo Xiaosi and Gao Shouxiao to ride the same horse and rush back to Yanjing. With Gao Shouxiao as a helper, Zhou Nan is also a lot more relieved.

"Let's go into town!" Yang Keshi shouted loudly, and the soldiers who were lying down and resting immediately got up, put on their armor, and the four thousand elites got on their horses together, and galloped east along the road, facing the rising sun that was about to erupt.

Among these 4,000 people, there are the original Liao soldiers, Song soldiers, Gao Yuan's soldiers who trained in Sanssouci Village, and recruits who were forced to be recruited by Guo Yaoshi who could not live. Now he is following this Zhou Nan, who doesn't know whether he is a Han or a Liao, clamoring to attack Yanjing City. Last night, the 50,000 Song army had been beaten away by 10,000 soldiers, but their 4,000 cavalry troops were full of confidence. Just because they are a victorious army from scratch, from less to more.

Zhou Nan rode a horse and walked leisurely on the south bank of the moat, behind him were three rows of elite pro-soldiers, each of whom was equipped with the same standard: one man and two horses, a spear, a hand knife, a bow, two pots of arrows, and a bulging leather bag on the left front.

Of the 4,000 cavalry, Zhou Nan asked Yang Keshi and Gao Yuan to bring 2,000 each, to block the Andong Gate and Yingchun Gate in the east and the Qingjin Gate and Xianxi Gate in the west. The two gates on the north side were left alone.

Zhou Nan himself only brought his three hundred personal guards to the Danfeng Gate in the south of Yanjing City. A few days ago, Liu Yanqing used a rocket to burn the Kaiyang Gate, and later Xiao Gan was a fire, which completely burned the inside and outside of the Kaiyang Gate.

Zhou Nan waved his hand to the side, and Han Gui immediately stepped forward from the team and came to the edge of the moat. Han Gui and Ma Daqiu have never returned to Yizhou Gao Feng's men since they followed Zhou Nan, and later Zhou Nan formed his own pro-army, and Han Gui and Ma Daqiu did both have some stretch out their hands, and their brains were more flexible, and they were familiar with the land near Zhuozhou, so they let Han Gui and Ma Daqiu be like Li Feixing, and they were the head of his personal guards, three hundred personal guards, just three capitals.

Han Gui raised his voice, and according to Zhou Nan's meaning, he shouted at the soldiers in the city: "If my Wansheng army is not here to usurp power and seize the throne, I really can't bear to see the people of Yandi enter the mouth of the tiger and wolf again, and suffer from the disaster of swords and soldiers, so that countless Li people in the city have left their homes, their wives and wives are separated, and yin and yang are separated. Please open the city gate and let my Wansheng army enter the city, guard Yanjing, and protect the people of Li! ”

Han Gui took a breath, and then shouted: "When my Wansheng army enters the city, I will not kill the people indiscriminately, but only those who seek opportunities to make trouble; Second, do not rob commercial goods, and the people have a penny and a penny; Third, hundreds of officials are still in their positions, and they do not mess with the government. The Queen Mother and the royal family were courteous. ”

After Han Gui finished shouting, a few guards came up from behind, wrapped the notice with the words just now on the shaft of the arrow, removed the arrow, and shot into the city, and for a while, one hundred and ten notices were transmitted to the city. With the same notice, Zhou Nan also asked Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi to shoot headless arrows into the city, so that the people and officials in the city would know that they would not indiscriminately kill innocents and indiscriminately shoot people and property after entering the city. Believe it or not, you can only wait for yourself to enter the city and show them with practical actions.

A shout from outside the eastern, western, and southern city walls made the soldiers at the head of the city whisper:

"Team Zheng, what is the number of these 10,000 victorious troops? How come you've never heard of it? ”

"These people are kind-hearted, and they know how to shoot arrows."

"Wan Shengjun, Wan Shengjun...... Are they really so powerful, won't they lose a war? ”

"Shhh......h To win is to be undefeated...... Pig! It is...... Sage! Don't hurt these people out there for a while. ”

"That's right! Right! Isn't that it? Or the third brother, you understand. ”

The five thousand defenders at the head of the city, looking at the four thousand cavalry troops outside, were already weak and curious. What kind of soldiers and horses? When they arrived at the city, they were not in a hurry to attack, but sent some notices to come in. Later, after guessing and guessing, they all recognized that these people outside were the sage's soldiers and horses. For a while, they were a little hesitant.

The news that a cavalry army from outside the city is going to attack the city has reached the court, and now Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi are not there, Zuo Qigong is in charge, and stands up and says to Concubine Xiao De: "Niangniang, Weichen is brave, please allow Weichen to go to the city to supervise the battle, and then ask Niangniang to send two people, ride fast horses, and quickly ask Xiao Shumi and Lin Ya to lead the troops to turn back." In this way, Yanjing can be guaranteed. ”

Now that the situation is critical, there is no need to pick and choose, Zuo Qigong, a Wenchen, dared to stand up and take the initiative to go up to supervise the battle, which has already made Concubine Xiao De very satisfied, and what Zuo Qigong said is also the only way, so he nodded hurriedly and said: "Then there is Lao Yanguogong, I order you to take full responsibility for the defense of the capital; I immediately arranged for the two generals to return to their divisions. ”
