The instruction that Liu Xuanzuo got was the version suggested by Pei Yanling:

Gao Yue's military rations are about to run out, you bring 5,000 stone of grain to go over in the name of reinforcements, if this is the case, you will take the opportunity to force the surrender and annexation of the two armies of Dingwu and Yining, and capture Gao Yue and send it to Taiyuan Mansion to fall; If this is not the case, you will take the opportunity to seize the opportunity to seize Gao Yue and capture Funing Village, and then the Taiyuan shogunate will follow up with political means, which can also force him to death.

Such a meticulous operation, Liu Xuanzuo thought about it, and the whole world had the capital and ability to complete it.

Who else is me!

However, when the 20,000 Xuanwu army, followed by the three or four thousand Baoda and Jingsai troops who transported grain (while transporting and stealing and selling), they crossed the Tuyan River, then to Suide City, and then to Longquan City, and soon came to Funing on the west bank of the middle reaches of the Wuding River.

Five miles away, the military camps of the Dingwu Army and the Yining Army are unusually neat, among which the Dingwu Army has also built the middle base and the front and rear left and right four bases, the middle base is high and the tree tooth flag and the section is set, there are granaries, military depots, and the other four bases are surrounded by sanitation, the security is tight, the trenches and wooden fences are readily available, and the pack horses, mules, donkeys and camels carrying materials are constantly coming and going on the outer roads, and it seems that there is no sign of lack of food and money.

Liu Xuanzuo also overlooked, the camp of the Yining army is in the east, self-contained, is a huge glaive, with all kinds of vehicles as the periphery, there are barriers inside, just together with the Wuding River, constitute the encirclement of Funing Village, between the two camps of the Tang army built a long road of one and a half miles, there are earthen walls and moats on both sides, there are beacon fires and guards on it, and the war horses and vehicles can pass in the road.

From time to time, the various walls of the Yining army will tremble, making a loud sound of shaking the ground and mountains, spewing out clouds of fireworks and dense fog, and then Funing Village will also shake, that should be the so-called siege of the city's fire, with the explosion of burning charge, shooting huge projectiles, destroying the city wall and buildings is the most powerful.

"This, what the hell is going on!" Liu Xuanzuo and his generals Liu Chang and Li Wanrong looked at each other, and the confidence in their hearts disappeared when they saw this situation.

Not to mention capturing Gao Yue, if Gao Yue doesn't come to capture them, everything will be fine.

At this time, at the foot of the mountain where Liu Xuanzuo was, a fierce cavalry suddenly appeared, and the first young general asked himself if he was Liu Situ?

Liu Xuan sat down and replied yes.

The young man dismounted and saluted, saying that he was Li Xian, the herald of the Marquis of Qi.

"It turned out to be Li Sheng's son." Liu Xuanzuo secretly thought.

"Situ will stay here for a while, and Rong will go and tell Qi Hou to come and see him." Li Xian said deliberately.

When Li Xianchi went to the middle base and told Gao Yue the news of the arrival of the Xuanwu army, Gao Yue laughed loudly, and in front of all the staff and generals, "You don't need to see Situ now, the whole army will take Funing Village in front of Situ, and it will naturally be good!" ”

Afterwards, Gao Yue asked his generals to report on the progress of the siege.

After they knew that the Tang cannons were used to destroy the city wall, they dug the earth behind the wall and rammed the compound wall, filling branches and wool in the middle of the two walls, which nearly doubled the original city wall, so that the Tang army's cannons could not penetrate through. Every time the Tang army fired artillery, they also knew how to take shelter in the pits dug, because the shells rarely fell in, greatly reducing casualties.

However, the Tang army, which occupied the initiative on the battlefield, was still superior, after they cleared the Qiang village on the periphery, they approached digging trenches to the bottom of Funing Dazhai, building small bases, raising light artillery, intensively swooping down on the party's way of drawing water, and smashing the well springs in the city with a stone thrower.

In the end, the Funing Walled City was crumbling, and there was only one last breath left, but the party inside still refused to surrender, and their hearts were more not unyielding, but afraid, afraid of being slaughtered, and afraid of being sold into slavery, so it was better to simply carry it to the end.

At this time, Liu Xuanzuo came, and Gao Yue was ready to concentrate the elite of the two armies to jump and ascend first, and in front of the Xuanwu army, he would capture Funing in one go, and give Liu Situ a resounding slap!

But at this moment, a "party monk" named Xifeng Yiqi asked to see him, saying that he could make Funing open the city without blood.

"What else to see at this time, isn't it a delaying tactic? If he wants to intercede for the party in the city, he might as well stay until the city is back and see you later! At first, Gao Yue didn't think so, but after weighing it, he decided to give this man a day to bring him into the camp.

Another Marquis of Yu, Zhou Ziping, led a long-haired party man to the tent, Gao Yue saw this legendary "fine seal moving rat", and couldn't help but be slightly surprised, this person and the one in some portraits, really have seven or eight points of resemblance, long hair, a windy beard, and the melancholy eyes of an artist.

Recently, the Qiangdi has been gaining momentum in the northern Qiang region, and its followers are increasing: the desperate ethnic groups will indeed have religious rampant. In particular, the surrounding area of Tongwan City is mostly barren desert, and what kind of religion is born in the depths of the desert, Gao Yue will not be unusual.

This time, the fine seal moved the rat to visit him, and the purpose was also very simple, to persuade the nearly 10,000 besieged party members in Funing Village to surrender to the Tang army and save their lives, on the condition that Gao Yue promised him that he could preach in the entire Baiyu Mountain area from now on.

"You ......" The more Gao Yue looked at the fine seal and moved the rat, the more he couldn't help it, and finally blurted out, "I don't know the names of Ling Zun and Ling Tang Gao?" ”

Next to him, Ming Huaiyi and Ye Shiliangbi used the local dialect of the party to convey Gao Yue's meaning.

The fine seal moved the rat and replied that his father was the lord of the party's fine seal, and his mother was the daughter of the lady who guessed the fanluo.

I didn't hear that his father was a Zi craftsman, and I didn't hear that his mother was a virgin pregnant, so Gao Yue's heart settled down a little, and he asked the mouse again, "Why don't you just let the Tuoba Zhaohui Kaicheng of Tongwan City surrender to me?" ”

"All of this is the will of the Emperor Heaven, and it is not yet the turn of the Ten Thousand Cities." Said the mouse.

Ditian? It seems that this migratory rat has created a religious concept, and Gao Yue is a little hesitant - can this son be kept, or not?

Then Gao Yue groaned and asked, "According to Jun's opinion, are we good or evil?" ”

"Good and evil are nothing but personal vain opinions, and in my eyes, there is only a difference between belief and unbelief." The mouse crossed his fingers and clasped his palms together and replied, "Faith is light, and unbelief leads to darkness." ”

"Go, it looks like this guy has mixed in Manichaean stuff." Gao Yue became interested at this time, and he thought that this migratory rat might as well stay for the time being, and see what sect he would develop.

What's more, Gao Yue had no intention of slaughtering and selling this group of party men and women in the Funing Walled City, he had already asked people to go to Gyeongju to divide the 7,000 Dongshan Qiang slaves who were originally forged there, and divide them into 3,000, and he was about to use this group of people plus Funing's party items to urgently settle fields in the middle of the Wuding River, plus the grain that Xingyuan and Fengxiang transported immediately, and he could be invincible.
