In the secret room of the upper city tower on the north city wall, which was guarded by the pro-regimental regiment, the Wu family brothers, who were known as the two dragons of Yuanmen, were looking at me at this time, and their faces were extremely solemn.

Today, Shi Siming gathered the generals in the festival hall, because they were responsible for the important task of defending the north, so according to the rules, they did not need to leave their duties to go to the festival hall. When An Lushan rebelled, Wu Chengen was the Taishou of Xindu County in Jizhou, and he raised the anti-flag behind An Lushan without thinking about it, but now Xindu County has been lost, although he relied on his love with Shi Siming and more than 3,000 soldiers and horses to return to Youzhou, he barely gained a foothold in Youzhou, but when he thought of the fate of Youzhou City in the future, he really regretted it.

He is already a lot of old people, why did he lose his mind and follow An Lushan in the first place? It's better to be false and wronged first, and then see the opportunity to get out. Look at how smart Hou Xiyi is, An Lushan stayed in Pinglu when he rebelled, and he turned against him at a critical moment, which is a great achievement, maybe it is worth a festival

"Brother wants to emulate the example of the previous Yejun War, when the city guards opened the north gate to welcome the army into the city?"

Wu Chengen's mind was broken by his brother Wu Chengen, and he was suddenly a little unnatural. However, thinking of his life, he still nodded and said: "If Youzhou is restored, and the court rewards meritorious deeds, Du Shiyi will definitely not be in the position of a town festival, and others will also be rewarded one by one, when Grandpa is there, it is equivalent to Pinglu Jiedu, but after that, although you and I have great achievements, we will not be able to be in the position of moderation, this is probably the last chance." Brother, you should help me, I'm not coveting a position, it's for the future of our Wu family."

"But...... Your Saburo is now a general under Shi Siming, and he is also quite trusted, if he fails, he may be bad. ”

"You're not unreasonable, but if it goes on like this, I'm really worried that the jade will be burned."

Wu Chengen sighed dejectedly. But at this moment, there was a loud shouting sound outside. Knowing that there must be a situation, where did he dare to slack off, he immediately got up and opened the door. Sure enough, a personal soldier had already planned to remind the main general in the house, and when he saw someone come out, he immediately shouted anxiously: "General, the Anbei army in Juyongguan has attacked."

Hearing this, Wu Chengenden chuckled in his heart. Thinking that at the beginning, An Lushan sent troops all the way like a bamboo, and his brothers were with the army at first, but later they couldn't support it because of their age, thinking of their former feelings and merits, An Lushan allowed them to go back to Youzhou to sit in town, and Shi Siming specially instructed them to keep an eye on the Fan Yang Festival who stayed behind Jia Xun, and the two of them naturally agreed. It was precisely because of his and Wu Chengjiao's vigilance that he keenly noticed the change in Juyongguan, and immediately closed the gates of Youzhou City, avoiding the danger that the strange army would wake up when they arrived in Youzhou and lose their nest in the first battle.

Since the strange soldiers did not work, the Anbei soldiers and horses no longer attacked arbitrarily, and only held the Juyong Pass steadily, and they were not afraid to fight against the defenders of Youzhou City. An Lushan has been operating in Youyan for more than ten years, but he still can't win the hearts of the people

It wasn't until Shi Siming hurriedly returned and punished the three clans of Jia Xun that Wu Chengen learned that the battle situation in the front and rear had suddenly deteriorated, and it was Du Shiyi who sent troops with lightning speed. Now every time he thinks of his "turning the tide" in Youzhou at that time, he regrets it even more than he followed An Lushan's rebellion. Knowing this, he should have fought against Jia Xun together

He and Wu Chengjiao hurried to the head of the city, only to see flags waving in the distance, and there were at least tens of thousands of people. But if you want to conquer Youzhou with such a soldier alone, it is simply wishful thinking. Without waiting for his orders, Wu Chengjiao had already shouted to order the soldiers at the head of the city to enter the first-level defense state, and then ordered people to find out if there were any enemy troops on the other three sides of the east, west, and south, but when the soldiers were in chaos, he suddenly heard someone shouting uncle, and turned his head to see that it was Shi Chaoyi.

Shi Siming used to be an old subordinate of Wu Chengen's father, Wu Zhiyi, and Shi Chaoyi was his eldest son, and Wu Chengen was also very familiar with him. In addition, Shi Chaoyi is polite and polite, and he has always given people a good impression, so Wu Chengen asked with a pleasant face: "Isn't this morning a gathering of the handsome festival generals?" What's wrong with the nephew here? ”

Shi Chaoyi's face showed a trace of bitterness, however, he quickly threw away this hesitation, and actually knelt down on his knees, and said mournfully: "Please also ask my uncle to save me"

Wu Cheng Enden was taken aback. Seeing that many soldiers around him were attracted by the offensive of the Tang army outside the city, he hurriedly dragged Shi Chaoyi up, lowered his face and said: "The man has gold under his knees, what is it that makes you so panicked, and you still want to beg me?" Could it be that you disobeyed your father's military orders? ”

Shi Chaoyi had made a decision to his subordinates before, but it was just because he was too bitter and angry in his heart, so he wanted these people who followed him to be prepared. But just now he was in the northwest corner of the city wall, not long after the enemy came from the north, and the west side was also full of flags. Even if he expected that all the Tang troops from all directions were coming, it was enough to make him panic. Therefore, he didn't even care that it was at the head of the city, which was likely to be attacked immediately, that he held Wu Chengen's hand tightly and said in a low voice: "Uncle, in fact, I was ordered by my father to go out of the city to see Du Shiyi......"

After whispering to Wu Chengen about Shi Siming's surrender, he groaned after seeing his shock, Shi Chaoyi thought of his judgment of the Wu family brothers when he tossed and turned last night, he took a deep breath, and took advantage of this last point to discuss things, focusing on the fact that it was the Son of Heaven who his father wanted to surrender, not Du Shiyi, and planned to keep this strength under his command. When Wu Chengen was obviously moved by this bombshell news, he pleaded bitterly: "Uncle, it is not only the Anbei soldiers and horses in Juyong Pass who are attacking today, Du Shiyi is also likely to let all the soldiers and horses under his command attack, so my father will definitely blame me." ”

Wu Chengen, who was urgently digesting the news, then understood. With Shi Siming's temperament, if Shi Chaoyi went to see Du Shiyi in vain, he would definitely kill this eldest son in anger. If it was another time, he would not have reached out because of Shi Chaoyi's uncle, but if Shi Siming successfully got in touch with the imperial court and was really able to keep these tens of thousands of troops and the three counties of Fanyang, Miyun and Yuyang, then what about him? Whether he is himself, his children or grandchildren, what future is there to speak of?

"Nephew Xian, don't worry, in front of your father, your third uncle and I will help to intercede, it is important to block this wave of attacks first, you don't need to say anything else"

With Wu Chengen's promise, Shi Chaoyi was only slightly relieved. Seeing that Wu Chengen was busy going to discuss with Wu Chengjiao, he immediately ordered someone to inform several generals under his command and let them be on strict guard, while he overlooked the soldiers and horses like dark clouds gathering more and more, as if this huge secluded state could be swallowed up anytime and anywhere. At that moment, his heart was tightly clenched.

If he really reached some kind of consensus with Du Shiyi on this mission and got some kind of commitment from the other party, then it would be fine, but the problem is that except for Du Sui's specious facts and reasoning, there was no other contact. The reason why he said those nonsense when he came back to see Shi Siming was completely just to save his life

When Shi Siming hurriedly climbed the southern city wall of Youzhou, he saw the big flag embroidered with the Du character straight into his eyes. At that moment, although there were still a lot of flags around, he ignored them directly, and his heart was full of rage. He's not a fool, how could he not know that he was being tricked by this time? Or maybe the news brought by Shi Chaoyi is true, but Du Shiyi must have found a way to deal with those envoys from Chang'an, or just temporarily dragged the other party...... But even though he thought so, he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and suddenly commanded in a deep voice: "Come here, summon Shi Chaoyi to this commander."

Youzhou is not an isolated city, there are seven or eight prefectures and counties in the south, and Yuyang and Miyun in the east, just within four days of Shi Chaoyi's back and forth, how could so many cities be easily breached? Could it be that Shi Chaoyi really colluded with Du Shiyi?

However, although Shi Siming really made a killing move. There is no way to carry out such an order. Because the city was soon in chaos. In addition to catapults, there are ten more large winch crossbows under the city. When one of them was at least 800 paces away, and fired a test shot, all the soldiers at the head of the city watched as the arrow came across the sky, deeply rooted in the city wall, and seemed to be more than three feet long, not so much an arrow as a spear, and it almost fell on their heads, and I don't know how many people felt a chill in their faces.

No one doubted the determination of the Tang army to attack the city this time, because the overwhelming banners and men and horses on the south side alone numbered at least 60,000.

Although there are so many soldiers and horses in Youzhou City, where can they be compared to the elites of Hedong, Shuofang, and Anbei

Under the handsome flag, Du Shiyi saw that the first test shot of the winch crossbow had received the established results, and he couldn't help but be extremely satisfied.

Outsiders only saw that the recovery of these counties in Hebei was unusually smooth, but they did not notice the assembly and preparation of these siege equipment. Although Zhang Xing said that the army was in Yongguan, the past few months have not been a waste of grain and grass, and the army has brought a group of outstanding craftsmen in the city of Anbei Yajiao, and these siege weapons have already been prepared.

When he put Shi Chaoyi back at that time, the comprehensive sweep of the counties around Youzhou City had already begun. The lion fights the rabbit, and also uses all his strength, with Guo Ziyi and Cheng Qianli personally leading the troops in front, Fugu Huaien and Hou Xiyi in the east and west to contain Yuyang and Miyun forces behind, after the scouts disappeared in large numbers, Youzhou City became a lonely city in the fastest degree

"Send the order down, the winch crossbow pushes forward, the giant arrow"

Although there is no way that there are no sharp weapons to defend the city in Youzhou City, the Tang army came too fast, and they didn't have time to move the trebuchets and ballistae at the head of the city, etc., and the crossbows under the city had already begun to shoot in unison, Shi Siming shouted angrily and fired back, but then he was almost dragged down by several tooth soldiers. When he went down the stairs, he only heard a series of dull sounds in his ears, mixed with countless cries, and his heart fell to the bottom for a while.

Du Shiyi really didn't plan to give him the slightest chance, and really wanted to go down to the city in a fight
