Xiao Gan took a deep breath, thinking that Xin Xingzong was also a famous general in the Song army, but he didn't expect to make such a stupid move, and he went deep into my Daliao territory for nearly 200 miles, it was really no one to deceive me Daliao!

One day and one night, the Song army went deep alone, marched for 200 miles in a row, and was deceived by his plan to show weakness. According to the report of Yuanlanzi, after the Chinese army was stationed in Laishui, it did not even set up a horse rejection. It seems that the sky will not die, and I am a great liao.

Zhou Nan has almost lived in the back mountain these days, taking Liu Zongwang, Liu Shishi and some other stonemasons in the village to be busy in the Xinshan Temple. Sometimes he called Lao Zheng Tou over, and sometimes he took a ruler to measure it.

The place where Gao Yun and the women in the village cook for the Hujia Society is not far from the mountain temple, which is also close to the public treasury and vegetable field, and it is convenient to get rice and grain. The newly built council hall, the Wangqi Tower, the mountain temple, the public treasury, and the school not far from the south are connected to the city at the beginning of the year. The blue, solid stone buildings, the spacious, bright wooden houses, neat and orderly.

Gao Yun and Amei and other female companions often cook and talk at the same time. Talking and talking, the topic always falls on Zhou Nan, who suddenly came to the cottage and can mix with the young people in the cottage, whether it is hunting in the mountains, or building a fence with the people in the cottage, and training the soldiers of the Family Protection Society, the young man who always has different ideas from others has now become a special topic for Amei and others to tease Gao Yun.

In the past few days, Zhou Nan took people from the front of the council hall to the mountain temple, and from the mountain temple to the wall behind the temple, and from the wall to the cliff next to it. As far as Gao Yun is concerned, as long as her brother and Zhou Nan can stay in the village for a good life, and An An is born, she will be satisfied. In the stockade, you can toss as much as you want. So seeing that Zhou Nan didn't know what to do here, Gao Yun was also down-to-earth.

It's just that Amei suddenly asked the person next to him: "Zhou Dalang led some stonemasons here to calculate, isn't it going to build a house again?" ”

The person next to him also said with questions: "It's certain to build a house, but I don't know which ones to build?" There are council halls, mountain temples, and schools, but what other places to build? ”

Ah Mei walked to the other side and said while working: "This new house, of course, I want to marry and live in ......."

Without waiting for anyone to answer, Gao Yun knew what these people were talking about next, and ran out early, and there was a burst of laughter behind him.

Zhou Nan, Lao Zheng Tou, and Liu Zongwang have racked their brains in the past few days, trying to make a way out here in the back mountain cliff. This retreat, first of all, must be hidden, and it is difficult for outsiders to find it; second, it should be sturdy, so that it will not collapse and deteriorate due to long-term use; The third exit should be safe. These three points are easy to say, but it is difficult to really do them.

Zhou Nan's initial plan was to make a road to the top of the west mountain, the forest and shrubs on the west mountain are luxuriant, the mountains are high and low, it is difficult to live in people, but it is no problem to hide for a few days temporarily, and when the time comes, the entrance will be hidden, the official army is to attack the cottage, the people have fled to the west mountain, and it is difficult for the officials and soldiers to go up the mountain to search, and they will withdraw if they can't find anyone.

But Lao Zheng Tou felt that he was still risky and not completely out of danger. In the end, the few people decided to dig a tunnel from the cliff of the back mountain, lead to the outside of the cliff, and then chisel out the stone steps on the stone wall outside the cliff, and people can go down from the stone steps, so that they are completely separated from the cottage.

After a few days of on-the-spot inspection, I found an ideal place where the cliff protrusions and the stone wall below is not very steep, but it can't be directly chiseled down from the wall, and finally I have to dig a tunnel from this cliff, and the entrance of the tunnel Zhou Nan is selected in the mountain temple, and the statue of the mountain god is below. During this period, people were superstitious and kept away from ghosts and gods. When the officers and soldiers came in, they searched everywhere, and they would not knock down the statues of the mountain gods.

There is a distance of twenty-six zhang from the mountain temple to the cliff, and the tunnel must be at least six feet high and four feet wide, so as to accommodate two people passing through in parallel, and it must take a lot of manpower to dig such a tunnel. Who knew that Liu Zongwang said with a smile: "Don't worry, the master of Dazhai will be able to open up the tunnel within ten days." ”

Since Liu Zongwang, who was born as a stonemason, promised this, Zhou Nan didn't ask. He entrusted the matter here to Liu Zongwang, and then he still had a lot of things to do, not in the cottage, but to go out, outside Yizhou, Zhuozhou, Yanjing, where he did things.

In Fanyang Village, Wang Ji took less than 3,000 people and horses, and successfully entered Fanyang Village without losing one person or one horse. Here, you can already see the tall yellow-brown city wall of Zhuozhou in the north from a distance. Zhuoshui comes from the west, circling the city in the north of Zhuozhou City, and the south of the city is just a moat dug by hand, which is not very wide, and it reduces the difficulty of attacking the city. After arriving at Fanyang Village, Wang Ji led people to the north and returned to the camp after a hasty round. From him all the way to the south, if he entered the situation of no man's land, the Liao army must have been too much restrained by the Jin people in the north, Zhuozhou is the key place in the south of Yanjing, so they were easily broken through here, it can be imagined that the Liao people's forces are indeed stretched.

The march of men and horses was hurried, and they were going out again tomorrow, so they simply set up camp, and there were no deer outside the camp, and after the camp was established, the soldiers were not allowed to enter and leave at will. But a covenant shop was set up outside the camp, and there was a man outside to listen.

This day and night are really tiring enough, although the soldiers are all cavalry, but as the front army, all the way, it is much harder than the group of old soldiers behind. Fortunately, Liao Gou probably knew that the deadline was coming, so he was too lazy to fight. When Wang Ji came in from outside the camp gate after his inspection, he saw that there was only a team of guards at the camp gate, so he only told him not to be lazy and to defend carefully, and then returned to the camp. He rose step by step from the bottom, and knew that the march and camp were hard, so he did not urge the soldiers to set up camp according to the requirements of the army. The sentry didn't ask to be released, and he couldn't even see a figure along the way, so keep some spirit and prepare to attack Zhuozhou City tomorrow.

A soldier brought a meal, Wang Ji was full of food, the soldier presented a hot soup again, Wang Ji took a comfortable bath, and then lay on the bed, he had already gone deep into the south of Zhuozhou, and the army was still in the rear, was it suddenly a little anxious? Just tomorrow when he enters Zhuozhou, he is waiting for the arrival of the army, and he can't let his 3,000 people go to attack Yanjing, right?

Thinking that tomorrow to capture Zhuozhou City, you can stay in the city for a few days, serve wine and meat every day, and it is best to have two women to accompany you, although it is not as good as the Jiangnan woman, it is better than nothing. After this battle, it was time for his official to turn around, thinking about his various good deeds of meritorious service and prosperity, and gradually fell asleep.
