At the same time, on the day that Yuan Yan's department arrived in Changping, Guo Rong led the follow-up forbidden army of 50,000 to rush to the city of Youzhou, and built another large camp on the east bank of the confluence of Anyang Water and Sanggan River east of Lusitai. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Here out of the camp to cross the river, through the Yuhe County under the city to the east twenty miles is the southwest of Youzhou City Xianxi Gate, Guo Rong into the camp to inspect a circle, by the way listened to Han Tong relay the East Road Army Zhang Yue, West Road Yuan Yan Department of the military situation, back to the camp to rest for a while, then take more than 1,000 followers to ride to Youzhou City to observe the city defense.

Nanjing of Liao is the Youzhou city of the Tang Dynasty slightly rebuilt, and has not expanded, the city is the vertical rectangle of east and west long, north and south narrow, the wall is four zhang high, the circumference is twenty-six miles, there are sub-cities, inner cities and outer cities, among which the outer city has two gates on each side of the city wall, and the inner city is in the southwest corner, and some city gates are common.

There is neither urn city and pier platform horse face outside the city gate, nor moat, later Beijing city, or after the Mongols destroyed the gold, Guo Shoujing led the sorghum water to inject, redesigned the Yuan capital before there was a moat around the city.

"Now the north is in the city, and the city defense is not more than Er'er! Compared with Taiyuan, it is much worse, and when the baggage arrives, this city can go down! Guo Rong walked more than 100 steps outside the city, and confidently said to Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, Zhao Kuangyin, Han Tong and other important ministers who accompanied him.

Wang Pu listened to the silence for a moment, and then said, "What Your Majesty said is extremely true! Only now can worry about the Yuan Yan department, Yelu Tart Lie is the Liao State important minister general, although Yuan Envoy Jun is equivalent to his troops, but Changping is only seventy-seven miles away from Youzhou, if you ride fast then half a day to arrive, Yuan Envoy Jun according to the city and defend, the horse army is a little not enough, I am afraid it is difficult to block it, please ask Your Majesty to send another horse army, looking for an opportunity to fight with the Tart Lie Department, if you thrust its front, then the main force of our army has no worries! ”

"I also have this intention, and tomorrow I will send Murong Yanzhao, the former secretary of the palace, to lead 10,000 iron cavalry troops." Guo Rong nodded in agreement.

As he was talking, more than 100 soldiers riding the inner hall came on horseback, took out a few rolls of thin silk and handed them to Ma Renyu, and claimed to have forwarded them for the Lutai army. Ma Renyu didn't dare to slack off when he took it, and hurriedly handed it to Guo Rong and said, "Your Majesty! There is military intelligence! ”

Guo Rong took it and read it quickly, and said with a happy face: "Zhang Yuanzhen's department has forced Yang Gon back a few days ago and captured Yuyang, and now he has rushed to Songting Pass, so there is no need to worry about the east road." But Yang Gon's 30,000 troops entered Lu County, did not enter Youzhou City, but did not withdraw, we have to solve this force first, who of the generals is willing to attack it? ”

"Your Majesty! I am willing to go! Zhao Kuangyin didn't say anything for a long time, and then he was refreshed when he heard it, and replied in a loud voice.

"Good! I will also give you 30,000 soldiers, and I will wait for your good news to attack the city! Guo Rong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Zhao Kuangyin really took the initiative to ask for battle.

Guo Rong inspected the city of Youzhou for a while and led the ministers back to the camp, this camp was built near the river, the periphery dug three trenches three zhang wide, the wall was also erected and spliced with big wood, forming a fortress like the city wall, the head of the wall built a watchtower, an arrow tower, a corner tower and other facilities, and the interior was divided into a plurality of camps by a fence, and the total area reached a radius of nearly ten miles.

If you add another large camp on the east bank of the river, it covers a huge area, and it is really impossible to see the end. However, it is not as exaggerated as it is said in some romance books, it is impossible to camp for hundreds of miles, because there are more troops, and they can still respond to each other when they camp separately, otherwise something will happen casually, and if there is a mutiny or a fire, it will be a big game.

On the east bank of Anyang Water, the south bank of the confluence of the Sanggan River and the Ji Canal, the main camp in the triangle is the 50,000 troops of the palace front division, because the cavalry brought 40,000 or 50,000 war horses, not to mention this consumption, the stable alone is extremely huge, and the activity space of the war horses is much larger than that of people, so it has to be separated.

The camp has not been built at this time, it is completely a big construction site in a mess, and it is Murong Yanzhao who is in charge of its affairs, Zhao Chao, the commander of the capital, Zhao Ding, the deputy commander of Zhao Ding and others, of course Zhao Kuangyin will not care about such a trivial matter as camping, anyway, the big tent of the army in front of the palace has been set up first.

At this time, it was nearly dusk, the light in the big tent was dim, Zhao Puzheng and the left wing of the iron cavalry were commanding Han Chongbin, and the scattered people were commanding Wang Yansheng to talk in a whisper in the tent, and when they saw Zhao Kuangyin coming in, the three of them got up together to salute.

"Sit down! The front division of the palace has a combat mission tomorrow, and Guanglie will inform everyone of the evening military meeting later! Zhao Kuangyin walked around to the handsome case and sat down, took off his helmet and put it aside, and said to Wang Yansheng.

"So fast! I'm afraid I'm going to support Yuan Yan, right? Zhao Pu was shocked when he heard this, and quickly reacted.

"Over there, Murong Yanzhao went, and he took over the work of attacking Yang Gon's department, what a fierce opponent!" Zhao Kuangyin was a little depressed, the camp is more than 100 miles from here to Lu County, and it is not easy to march alone.

"Zhang Yuanzhen has not solved it, Your Majesty naturally knows this situation, the lord can rush to it at full speed, but it will be delayed for a few more days, so as not to attack a fortified city like Youzhou." Zhao Pujin said.

"What is the reason, the army is fighting to the death, there is no need to say more! What I was thinking about was that if Zhang Yuanzhen's troops finished deploying at Guansai, they would inevitably return to the division to assist in the siege, didn't they all happen to be in the east of the city at that time? Zhao Kuangyin said thoughtfully,

"What do you mean?" Zhao Pu was a little confused, and he didn't know what Zhao Kuangyin meant by saying this.

"Nothing...... Let's besiege the city together! Zhao Kuangyin said, and he didn't know whether he glanced at Wang Yansheng next to him intentionally or unintentionally, looking unfathomable.

Zhao Pu was surprised for a while, and couldn't help but look at Wang Yansheng, his eyes showing a thoughtful look.

Wang Yansheng, the word Guanglie, forty years old, originally a native of Shu, lived in Luoyang after the death of Shu, put into the Tang Dynasty eunuch Meng Hanqiong's mansion, because of his courage and good at swordsmanship was recommended to Tang Mingzong, the first to make up for the East Class Chengzhi, but he was brutal by nature, his arm strength was superior and he could shoot arrows, and the guards of the forbidden army were afraid of him, called "Wang Jian'er". After the Jin, Han, and Wednesday dynasties, the meritorious staff were all commanded.

Wang Yansheng is good at swordsmanship, and he is proficient in riding and archery, and then he thinks that Emperor Guo Rong has fallen ill once in Waqiao Pass, which shows that the Hu monk on the side of Xiangguo Temple is still relatively obscure and successful, so he can't stop offering medicine, and he has to continue.

In fact, this matter should be done from the third year of Guangshun and the second year of Xiande two large-scale seizures of Buddhist temples, the abolition of all those who have not been given by the imperial court, and the order of monks and nuns who have shaved their hair privately to return to the laity. This decree was originally good, but there were many foreign monks living in Tokyo, setting up dojos without permission, and engaging in abnormal behaviors such as suicide and self-harm, burning incense with their fingers, and lighting lamps with naked hooks and lanterns were confusing, which could not but attract the attention of the imperial court.

The most famous temple in the inner city of Tokyo is none other than Dashokokuji Temple, which is also the place where these foreign monks are concentrated, who bribed high-ranking officials with sesame oil money, and established a light temple and a Ilshile Ye temple in the city or suburbs, which were later all seized. Hu monks have no business, living in major monasteries, and there is a Hu monk who is good at making all kinds of secret medicines, and lives in the Zhao family's Dingli Temple, one day by chance Zhao Pu found out, so he hit it off and secretly began to operate this thing.

And now, the great cause of the lord is still facing many obstacles, among which Zhang Yue is the most powerful political enemy, when the time comes, return to the division and garrison, if the two armies attack the city together, there is always a suitable opportunity for a long time, as long as this matter is promoted, then the big thing is only one step away from success. Thinking of this, a trace of excitement flashed in Zhao Pu's eyes, and his mind suddenly moved.
