Under the city of Zhuozhou, the night is dark.

Lu Qian joined forces with Tian Hu, an army of 50,000, and camped on all sides outside the city for some time. During this period, he organized many sieges and fought many battles with the Liao army, but he failed to take this place.

Just because Fanyang City is high and deep, there are a lot of soldiers and horses in the city, and there is a considerable amount of Khitan army. The Liangshan army did not have the help of Liangshan artillery, and it was very difficult to storm Zhuozhou.

You must know that the affairs outside the city of Baozhou have now spread all over Nanjing Road, and the news has been heard in the city. In this way, those Liao soldiers can be said to be united, and their will to resist is not strong.

Because the thousands of Khitan soldiers inside are the fish that slipped through the net under the city of Baosai, Lu Qian did not exert a hot hand on the Liao army in Yizhou, Shucheng and other places, but if Zhuozhou is broken, the Khitan soldiers inside may not escape death. What's more, the Han soldiers in Zhuozhou City didn't know the former, but only knew about Baozhou. I just think that surrender is death, so who wouldn't resist desperately? The clouds in the city were about to gather into a flame.

Lu Qian muttered in his heart, it was the first time he had seen such a large-scale and vigorous military spirit for many years. But I didn't think about scolding MMP in my heart!

But on that day, he ordered the slaughter of Baozhou World War I prisoners of war, and the current situation was already in his mind. Rumors backed by 'facts' would be ten times worse than facts, but he won the hearts of the people of Hebei and the fear of the Khitans. This gain and loss is nothing more than that.

At this moment, there is tranquility in the Liangshan military camp.

The soldiers were already resting, and only the soldiers on duty were still on guard.

In the big tent, Lu Qian sat in the tent, and on the table in front of him, there were some documents and account books. Put down one, pick up one, there seems to be no end, with a thick tired face on his face.

These documents were sent from Yidu. Earlier, when others were in Yidu, the cabinet was in charge of small matters, and major matters were decided by him. But now that Lu Qian is in the north, Zong Ze is big and small, everything is collected into a book, and someone was sent to the army.

There are indeed some things in it that the cabinet can decide alone, but more things belong to the cabinet, and Zong Ze and they did approve it, but they still had to send it to Lu Qian for instructions.

Apparently this is avoiding suspicion!

But Lu Qian couldn't turn a blind eye and ignore it. The emperor's mind told him that he had to see, even if he looked at ten lines, it was still to see.

For an emperor who stands at the top of the pyramid of power, authority is always the most important. No matter how great your credit is, it will not be worth the power in his hands. If necessary, he will not hesitate to sacrifice you for the sake of his authority. This is the imperial nature. So, don't laugh at their suspicions. Especially the Founding Emperors!

These people will never have pure trust. This is human nature, and it is very sad.

As a minister, it is your duty to be loyal to the monarch and love the country, and if you are greedy and greedy, it is your fault.

No amount of credit can offset your threat to him. So once you are successful, it is time for him to move you.

Don't be negligent because of a short period of peace between the monarch and the minister. Otherwise, it's the king. In history, such as Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, such as Liu Yu and Liu Muzhi, there are always very few.

Zong Ze was not wrong to be cautious, Lu Qian obviously did not have the temperament to ignore the 'trivial matters'. Even if he 'born' with a pair of heavenly eyes.

When the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it loses. Zong Ze, who was already at the pinnacle of the Lu Qi court, was undoubtedly the best and most suitable way for him to deal with the world.

However, human energy is limited. Lu Qian is very tired now.

In addition to the cabinet documents, there are also many account books, not only the grain and grass on the front line of the Liangshan Army, but also the money and grain, soldiers, and officials collected by the Liangshan Army along the two roads in Hebei, as well as the number of acres of land and the number of people that have been counted in various localities, as well as the private fields, houses, and shops confiscated in various places.

These countless numbers are called heads-hugging. Not to mention the new officials, as well as their life history.

Qilu's money and grain are like a bottomless pit, and a large amount of money and food is flowing out. It's just fortunate that these numbers have not exceeded Lu Qian's expectations.

Song Jiang and Sun Li fought very well in the area east of Zhuozhou, and all counties and villages have been leveled. If the plan is right, at the latest, Cangzhou's military rations will be able to reach the front line in half a month at the latest, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the city of Zhuozhou will definitely not be slow to consume food. However, according to the current situation, although the Liangshan army was unable to sustain a long battle, it was enough to force the Khitans to bow their heads.

The next day, the sky was clear and the weather was fine. Zhuozhou guard Yelu Dezhong was sleeping soundly, and suddenly heard shouts outside, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the eldest son Yelu Zongyun with an anxious face. "Father, go up to the city and see." Yelu was shocked and hurriedly asked, "But the thief army has come to detain the city again?" When he heard Yelu Zongyun's negative answer, he was a little relieved. It's just that this matter is more important in Yelu Zongyun's heart than Liang Shanjun's troops waving his troops again.

Jerod got up, put on his armor, and went straight to the head of the city. While still under the city, he saw Aliqi, Zhi'er Fulang, Uli Ke'an, Qu Li Chuqing and others leaning against the city from a distance, pointing and pointing. These latter few are all from the so-called eleven star generals of the Liao State.

Yelude muttered in his heart, what kind of trick did the Han people outside come up with?

Yerod rushed up to the city in three steps and two steps, and when the people in the city heard the movement, and when they turned around and saw him coming, Aliqi first said loudly: "Look, my lord, there is also a disaster." ”

Yelude's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his mood suddenly went bad! "What kind of disaster, Zhuozhou City hasn't been broken?"

Along the way, Yelu Zongyun had already told him what the Liangshan army was doing outside the city, but Yelu was always unable to piece together a specific picture in his mind. What are the fences, the antlers, the horses, the ditches, the breastwalls?

But when he went up to the top of the city and looked out, he suddenly realized it in the blink of an eye.

Jerod's face immediately became cloudy, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

About a hundred and ten paces in front of the moat, a large group of Han soldiers were busy. Carrying antlers, horses, fences, etc., they were lined up one after another, and soldiers with shovels and pickaxes were digging into the ground. Leave that without mentioning that, just talk about the fence, where the thigh-thin logs were stripped of their branches and leaves, the lower half was sharpened and carbonized on the fire, and then the two long and two short were buried in the ground.

It's like two wooden walls, filled with earth, and on top of them are wooden rafts. The taller ones can be used as cover, and the shorter ones can not only be used by the soldiers to rest, but also help the soldiers rely on the fence to defend against the enemy.

Then there was a trench dug in front of the fence, which was being used to fill the wooden rafts. Although there is no stagnant water in the trench, there are sharp wooden stakes and bamboo sticks with thick bowl mouths buried. It is not allowed to scatter thistles outside.

And looking further back, it's even more remarkable. The dense soldiers of the Liangshan Army are ramming earth to make walls, and building arrow towers and earth forts with chest walls and trenches for protection. This is not only the cover of the fence ahead, but also the firepower point that independently supports the battlefield after the fence is broken.

It's a very new approach. Lu Qian called him the City Lockdown Law!

The Jin army in history has been attacking Taiyuan for a long time, and it is this method that is used to trap the city, so that the inside and outside of Taiyuan City cannot be communicated, and it is completely isolated! If so, all kinds of materials in the city became increasingly scarce, and finally the ammunition and food were exhausted, and the city was ruined.

When Zhu Yuanzhang killed Zhang Shicheng, he also used this method for Suzhou City. Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Hua Yunlong, Tang He, Wang Bi, Zhang Wen, Kang Maocai, Qiu Cheng, He Wenhui and other troops were stationed at each gate and outside the parties, and the city was surrounded by a long siege, and a wooden tower (called the enemy tower) was erected on three floors, monitoring the movement in the city, each layer was used with bows and crossbows, and the Xiangyang cannon was used to attack day and night.

At the moment, Lu Qian used this hand, because the will of the Liao army in the city to resist was too strong. Even if he transported the Liangshan cannon from the rear and collapsed Zhuozhou City, he would lose a lot of losses if he wanted to kill all the Liao soldiers who resisted. Not to mention that it is more time-consuming!

Although many Liao generals in the city were very ignorant at the first time, they quickly noticed that something was wrong, and even guessed the purpose of Lu Qian's doing. Obviously, he didn't plan to consume it with Zhuozhou City.

Once the Liangshan army's method of besieging the city is successful, it will greatly reduce the garrison outside the city, so there is only one possibility, he will lead the army north and approach Nanjing City!

Therefore, Yelu has to be heavy, and the generals of the Liao State don't know whether to be happy or worried. Because since the Liangshan thieves have used such methods, it means that the other party has no way to take Zhuozhou, and since they can't attack it, they can only besiege it. In this way, Zhuozhou is at ease in the short term. But the Liangshan thieves can also calmly deploy troops to attack Nanjing, which is not good.

Once this fortification is fully formed, Zhuozhou does not have to worry about losing in the short term, but it will be difficult for the defenders in the city to get out. It's a cash.

Lu Qian's strength is strong, and he is obviously not afraid.

"Damn, look at the king, the Liangshan thieves are divided into two routes, one is a police officer, and the other is a civil engineering operation. I also caught a lot of local people to help, and I just wanted to rush out and kill for a while! Aric snapped the battlements and said angrily.

"Since the Liangshan thieves have the intention to besiege the city, they will prevent our army from going out of the city to attack and disturb." Qu Li's eyes were full of uneasiness. If the Liangshan army only advanced to the city of Nanjing, it would be easy to say. I'm afraid that Lu Qian will divide his troops to fight Shunzhou, Jizhou, Jingzhou and other places, in that case, the Liao State will suffer a big loss. As one of the generals under Wu Yanguang, he knew how empty Nanjing Dao was at the moment.

In the past, Shunzhou, Jizhou, Jingzhou, etc., which were all stationed with heavy troops, are empty at the moment as if they were wilderness and pastoral.

"Lu Qian, a thief born of a servant, he just relies on the abundance of troops. As soon as this siege is completed, won't we all be trapped in the city and have no way to escape? Yelu Zongyun scolded. Although he didn't have a lot of battlefields, what else did he not understand when he saw the posture of the Liangshan army outside the city? As soon as the siege offensive is completed, the attack and defense will change shape in a short period of time, and the soldiers and horses in the city will break through, which is not inferior to fighting a siege battle.

Those obstacles such as antlers, horses, fences, and fortifications were all out of range of the bow and crossbow at the head of the city. No matter how you step in the army or the horse, if you want to stand out, you have to fight a tough battle. Not to mention how many heavy troops the Liangshan army gathered after the siege of the city, only the price when rushing out, no one can estimate it.

The generals patrolled all the way along the city, and in front of the four sides of Fanyang City, Zhuozhou, was the busy figure of the Liangshan army. Although it is a state city, it cannot be compared with the big city of the Central Plains. Hugh said that compared to the Daimyofu and Jindingseong, it is inferior to Jeju. In addition, the Liangshan army has a large number of troops, and if it is built with such efforts, I am afraid that it will not take long to be completely besieged. ()
