------------

Zhang Xiaochun stood on top of the city wall, sneering and looking downward, followed by several generals behind him. \\.\\

"My lord, do the Liangshan thieves really want to attack me Taiyuan City? Looking at the number of their soldiers, there are more than 100,000, and it seems that they have transferred all the soldiers here. A general said.

"Hmph, I can't do it." Zhang Xiaochun said coldly.

He looked down carefully for a while, and found that Liangshan's military camp was arranged extremely carefully, and there were almost no gaps in the middle that could be attacked. It seems a little impossible to take the opportunity to attack the Liangshan military camp.

"Watch out!" Zhang Xiaochun said as he walked forward.

"Yes, sir! Only, my lord, what should we do if the enemy army keeps besieging the city? A general said.

"How is this possible all the time besieging the city? Winter is coming, and with such cold weather, it is impossible for them to stay outside all the time. Zhang Xiaochun said casually.

Although he felt that Taiyuan City was very strong and could not be conquered by Liangshan, he was still a little vigilant in his heart, so he ate and lived on the city wall that day and did not leave the city wall at all.

There are a total of four cities in Taiyuan City, and there is a huge mansion on the side of Xicheng Mén, and the plaque of the house is engraved with the word "Yang". This silver hook iron painting written by Yang, a heroic spirit rushed from it, this is the ancestral home of the Yang family in Taiyuan.

Taiyuan Yang family, that is, the place where the Yang family will start. Yang Ye, the ancestor of the Yang generals, was originally a famous general in Hedong, and after surrendering to the Great Song Dynasty, he came to the northwest from Hedong and began to guard the northwest. However, in Taiyuan's hometown, there has always been a group of people from the Yang family stationed.

It's just that since the Yang family began to decline, the Taiyuan Yang family has also declined. Now Yang Denai, the head of the Yang family in Taiyuan, is the guard general of Mén in the west of Taiyuan City, and the rest of the Yang family also serve as some insignificant petty officials in Taiyuan City.

In the courtyard of the Yang family's ancestral house, Yang De was standing there in armor at this moment, and a young man was standing beside him.

The leaves of the trees in the yard are falling one by one, and it is extremely depressing. Yang De had been silent, and the young man beside him was anxious.

"Father, do we really want to help Liangshan?" Finally, the young man couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help asking.

"Not bad!" Yang De nodded and said.

"However, how can we do such a thing in the Yang family's era of loyalty?" The young man asked.

"Loyalty? Do you know what loyalty means? More than 150 years ago, my Yang family was originally an important minister of the Later Han Dynasty, and then surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, do you say this is loyalty? Yang De asked lightly.

"This ...... But back then, when the Great Song Dynasty ruled the world, it could not be the same as now. At that time, the Later Han Dynasty had already declined, and it was only a matter of time before it was replaced by the Great Song Dynasty, and it was nothing for us to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty. Now if we help Liang Shan, it will be an anti-thief and a rebel, disloyal and unfilial. The young man hesitated for a moment and said.

"It was indeed the time when the Great Song Dynasty ruled the world, but now it is also the time when Liangshan dominates the world, so we can naturally assist Liangshan." Yang Dedao.

"Father, how can you say such a thing? Liang Shan is just a thief, how can you have such an idea? "The youth was incredulous.

"Show loyalty, the court has no way! Since the current saint succeeded to the throne, the people of the world have been oppressed. Now there are thieves everywhere, and there are people who occupy the mountains as kings, and I heard that the people of Jiangnan are also panicked now, and they may rebel at any time. The current Great Song Dynasty is already a sign of the death of the country, and the ones that can replace the Great Song Dynasty are none other than Khitan, NV Zhen or Liangshan, so I want to assist Liangshan and find a way out for my Yang family. Yang Dedao.

"But father, there are still 800,000 forbidden troops in the imperial court, and 300,000 western troops, plus garrisons in various places, more than two million troops. In the face of such a force, no thief is vulnerable. The youth said.

"What the forbidden army of the imperial court looks like, we soldiers know best. The so-called 800,000 forbidden troops can be completely ignored. As for the garrisons in various places, they don't have much training on weekdays, and they are scattered and scattered, and their role is extremely limited. The only thing left in the imperial court is 300,000 Western troops, but I just got the information that Seed Master Dao personally led 200,000 Western troops to attack Hedong, and they have been defeated by General Lin in Hedong! Under such circumstances, do you still think that the Great Song Dynasty will not lose the country? Yang De asked.

"Is this true?" The young man said in disbelief.

"Of course it's true! I personally sent people to the south to investigate, and the news I got was that the Seed Master Dao was defeated, and less than 100,000 of the 200,000 western troops were able to return to the northwest! The rest of the people were either scattered all over the place, or they had been captured or killed by Liangshan, and the Western army was indeed defeated by Liangshan! Yang Dedao.

"The Western Army has been defeated, is the imperial court really going to perish?" The young man was a little lost in his soul.

Although the Yang family is a family of soldiers and generals, most people do not read poetry and books, but this young man is an exception. In addition to practicing martial arts, he often read some Confucian classics, and he even wanted to attend the imperial examination, but was stopped by his father. In his heart, loyalty is the most important thing, and now that his father has made such a decision, he is really difficult to accept.

"Tonight, you and Shi Qian, the hero of Liangshan, left Taiyuan City together and went to the Liangshan military camp. I have already discussed with the people of Liangshan, and I will wait for my torch when the time comes. Once the torch is lit, it is the day when the city is opened. At that time, the soldiers and horses of Liangshan entered Taiyuan City from Xicheng Mén, and it was very simple to occupy Taiyuan City. Yang Dedao.

"Yes." The young man took a deep breath and said.

"Very well, get ready to leave." Yang Dedao.

Yang De turned around and left the place, heading towards the western city wall, leaving the young man here alone.

The young man looked up at the sky, and it was a little difficult to decide.

He stood for a long time, then suddenly stomped his foot fiercely and said, "How did I, Yang Xianzhong, become such a mother-in-law?" My father has already decided, but tonight I will go out of the city to meet the people of Liangshan! From now on, I don't have to be loyal to the court anymore, and I, Yang Xianzhong, am also a member of Liangshan! ”

Late that night, Yang Xianzhong and Shi Qian were lowered from the city wall with ropes, and the two quietly headed towards the military camp in Liangshan.

In Yang Xianzhong's arms, he carried his father's handwritten letter, which contained all the plans. In addition, as Yang De's only son, he went to the Liangshan military camp this time, in a sense, as a hostage, so as to gain Liangshan's trust.

******

After Yang Xianzhong met Zhu Wu, after three or four days of determination, he chose the weather to open the city, and then Yang Xianzhong was sent to Wu Song and Li Ying, and told Wu Song and Li Ying the news.

Because Wu Song and Li Ying's 20,000 soldiers and horses were in Xicheng, they would definitely be the first to attack the city at that time.

Wu Song arranged for Yang Xianzhong to stay, and then came to the outside of the barracks with Li Ying.

At this moment, the cold wind was howling, but the two of them stood there as if they didn't feel the slightest feeling. Martial arts have been practiced to the point where they have long been invasive.

Both of them are admiring the Taiyuan City in front of them, which is worthy of being the first fortified city in the north, just looking at the height of the city wall, the general ladder will never be able to climb up. What's more, there is a moat formed by the Fen River below, and the water of the Fen River is extremely turbulent, and it is almost impossible to fill the moat.

If there are thousands of stone throwers attacking Taiyuan City day and night, it is indeed possible to take Taiyuan City, but without siege weapons, it is almost impossible to take Taiyuan City by relying on the courage of soldiers alone.

"When the city opens, I'll enter the city with 5,000 men, and then you will enter with the rest of the soldiers." Li Ying said suddenly.

"I'd better lead the troops in first." Wu Song Road.

"No! What if that Yang De is deceiving us? What if it's a trap inside? It's too dangerous inside, don't go in. It's okay if I'm dead, but it's okay if you're dead. Li Ying said with a smile.

Wu Song snorted coldly, very unhappy in his heart.

He knew that it must be because of him, the "younger brother of the Metropolitan Governor", because of this identity, many people were reluctant to let him take risks, including Li Ying.

"Needless to say, I'll go in first, and you'll answer in the back! This time I'm the supreme commander of the Shuibo Army, and you need to listen to me. Wu Song said coldly.

Li Ying smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that his kindness would be rejected by Wu Song, and it also caused Wu Song's displeasure. He wanted to persuade again, but Wu Song had already turned around and left here and headed towards his military camp.

More than 100,000 troops have been under the city of Taiyuan for three days, and they have been besieging but not attacking for these three days. The atmosphere in Taiyuan City was very tense, and Zhang Xiaochun was a little suspicious, not understanding what Liang Shan was doing. Some generals said that Liangshan might be waiting for the arrival of siege weapons, Zhang Xiaochun thought about it carefully and felt that it made sense. He had already looked carefully below, and did not find any siege weapons, so he relaxed after being sleepy for a while.

On this evening, when the sky was so dark that there was no moon or a single star in sight, it was at this time that 15 torches were suddenly lit on the western city of Mén, and these 15 torches were lined up in a very dazzling row.

When he saw these 15 torches, a soldier immediately rushed to Wu Song's barracks, Wu Song turned over in an instant, he hurriedly lit 5,000 soldiers, and rushed towards Xicheng Mén in less than half an hour.

At this moment, the western city mén has been opened, and the drawbridge over the moat has been lowered.

Wu Song rushed to the forefront, and countless soldiers followed him behind him.

Along the way, Wu Song was a little apprehensive, he was actually worried that this was a trap. But no matter what, he had to go in harshly, and if he lost this opportunity, it would be difficult to attack the city.

After passing through the city of Mén, there were no ambushes, and at this moment, a middle-aged general arrived with dozens of soldiers. The middle-aged general went straight to Wu Song and said, "This is the general of Liangshan?" Under Young! ”
