"Your Highness! Yelu Abaoji's letter is back, he has taken the West Road Fort on the border of Weizhou, and the beacon tower behind the West Road Fort is not vigilant, and Yelu Abaoji is estimated to be about to arrive in Weizhou! Zhou Yanpet handed over a roll of letter paper that was no more than the size of a palm.

If Zhu Wen was here, he must have been taken aback involuntarily. It is rumored that Li Cunhuan, who has died, is sitting on a tiger skin chair unharmed, and it is said that this tiger skin chair was seized from where Li Ke used it. His face was ruddy, and there was no sign of serious injuries at all.

Li Cunhuan said with a smile: "Zhu Laosan definitely didn't think that this king was not dead, so he pretended to be dead!" ”

When Zhou Yanpet heard this, he smiled and said with a half-compliment: "It's not that Zhu Wen can't think of it, it's just that His Highness's plan doesn't make people dare to move no matter what!" His Royal Highness is really dead, then it is very likely that the scene of the Sanggan River will happen, the whole army will become mourning soldiers, even if Zhu Wen is the reincarnation of Sun Wu, after fighting this battle, it will also be the result of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, and in the end it is not cheap Yang Xingmi. On the contrary, the generals under His Royal Highness, after losing the restraint of His Highness, will slowly break out in civil strife no matter what, giving Zhu Wen the opportunity to calmly clean up the two rivers. But if His Highness faked his death, they thought that His Highness had a conspiracy against Xuanwu, and naturally did not dare to take other actions easily when they couldn't figure it out. I wouldn't have thought that His Highness would plan and plan to Wei Bo! ”

"That's because Zhu Wen and Jingxiang are in it, so they can't see the situation clearly! However, this king estimates that someone should see this matter in Yang Xingmi. That Yuan attack should not be underestimated! Li Cunhuan said with a somewhat solemn face.

When Zhou Yanpet heard this, he was slightly stunned, and immediately said with relief: "Your Highness can win without being arrogant or discouraged, and one day you can calm the world and come to court from all directions!" ”

Li Cunhuan smiled, immediately restrained the smile on his face, and said: "But fortunately, it is freezing and snowy now, even if Yuan Xi sees my plan and sends someone to remind Zhu Wen, it is very troublesome, and it will take five days to say the least." If you remind Luo Hongxin, you have to take a long detour, and it will be six or seven days at the earliest! Five days! Enough is enough! ”

When Zhou Yanpet heard this, the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled, revealing a smug smile. He could even imagine Zhu Wen's roaring and angry expression when he heard the news. Anyone who is placed together will not be happy, let alone if they thought they had placed someone else.

…… Weizhou ......

Weizhou was not established for a long time compared to Hedong Taiyuan and Hebei Youzhou, and it was only established in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The initial development was also very slow, and the foundation was only built on a temple. But it was this city that became the largest city in the north after the Anshi Rebellion of the Middle Tang Dynasty. Yes, the number one city. The walls are sturdy and thick, with green bricks on the outside and glutinous rice juice and other binders. The city wall is extremely strong, even the city wall of Yanjing City under Li Cunhuan's rule is not so strong.

It is four feet and five feet high, and the widest width of the city wall reaches five zhang, which is more powerful than the height of the city wall. Outside also dig the Grand Canal Yongji Canal, leading water into the moat, the moat is nearly 20 zhang wide, and the deepest depth can reach four zhang!

But now that winter is on, the moat is useless, and the surface of the river is covered with thick ice. Originally, Weizhou Thorn Shi also sent people to chisel ice, but after a long time, the ice layer was one foot eight inches thick, and it was more than half a meter. Weizhou Thorn Shi didn't bother to find someone to chisel.

First, the subordinate officials complained bitterly, and secondly, there were not many people, and there were only 200 officials, plus 3,000 soldiers, except for those who defended the city, there were not many people left. And the people in the territory have been transferred to transport grain and grass. Even if some of them take a break here, Weizhou Thorn Shi didn't dare to use it, everyone knew that the three armies did not move the grain and grass first, delaying the delivery of grain and grass, and Luo Hongxin was the first to not let him go. In this case, the history of Weizhou thorn is also difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

However, the history of Weizhou was not stupid, and sent people to set up a beacon tower every fifty miles in the north. Because Weizhou is not only Wei Bo's place of governance, but also the granary of Wei Bo now, the grain and grass from all over the country or by water, or by land to Weizhou, Weizhou then along the Yongji Canal, north, arrived at the Liting in the north of Beizhou, Liting fifty miles north is now the place where Lu Longjun and Wei Bojun confront. However, due to the cold weather, the Yongji Canal has also frozen, and the land route has been changed, and the transportation volume has been greatly reduced, resulting in the accumulation of grain in Weizhou. If the grain and grass in Weizhou are burned, without anything else, at most half a month, the 50,000 Wei Bo troops on the front line will collapse.

Wei Bo had a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses, except for the 50,000 troops stationed in various prefectures and counties, guarding grain and grass, and the 50,000 troops, especially Dezhou and Dizhou, which cut off the main roads of Lulong and Pinglu and Yanhai. Luo Hongxin gritted his teeth for this reason, squeezing out 23,000 people to garrison the two places.

And Weibo has five other prefectures and more than a dozen counties, and the rest of the soldiers and horses are divided, that is, more than 5,400 people in each state, and 2,000 to 1,000 people in each county. He also had to transport grain to Weizhou, which had to be transported by soldiers, and it can be said that Wei Bo was now in a period of 'weakness'. However, what made Luo Hongxin more relieved was that Li Cunhuan was restrained by Zhu Wen, and Li Cunhuan couldn't send many soldiers and horses out, so he also arranged 8,000 soldiers and horses in Weizhou.

However, at this moment, a soldier and horse that Luo Hongxin could not have imagined at all had already set foot on the land of Weizhou.

"Chongtao, when do you think it's best to attack?" Yelu Abaoji spit out white mist, put down the monocular clairvoyance that came to his eyes, and asked Guo Chongtao on the side.

Guo Chongtao was originally in charge of logistics, but Li Cunhuan was afraid that Yelu Abaoji would not be able to support this task alone, so he specially asked Guo Chongtao to assist Yelu Abaoji. Yelu Abaoji also knew Li Cunhuan's thoughts, and there was no need to express dissatisfaction, but on the contrary, Guo Chongtao's opinions were questioned on many things, of course, this is an important factor in Guo Chongtao's outstanding calculation ability.

When Guo Chongtao heard this, he also put down the monocular clairvoyance in his hand, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and he said: "It's not easy! Weizhou Thorn History is Wei Bo's famous general Luo Wuguan, this person is Luo Hongxin's nephew, quite trusted by Luo Hongxin, it is said that Luo Hongxin personally taught him soldiers and horses! ”

Yelu Abaoji didn't know about this yet, and couldn't help but be slightly taken aback when he heard this. In times of peace, it is better to say that in the present, soldiers and horses and military power are places to live and live. Even if it's a son, it's easy not to teach, let alone a nephew.

"It's a tough nut!" Yelu Abaoji muttered.

"Hard bones also have soft positions, and at night, the cold wind is howling, no matter how cautious Luo Wuguan is, his soldiers will inevitably find a place to be lazy. Let's take a detour to the north tonight! Guo Chongtao said calmly.

When Yelu Abaoji heard this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn't it good?" Now we are in the southwest, and we have a long detour to the north, and I am afraid that it will be easy to be discovered. ”

Guo Chongtao explained: "There are a lot of risks, but to the north, the cold wind is howling, the soldiers defending the city must find a place to hide, plus the wind is loud, can cover up a lot of sounds, and more importantly, the north of Weizhou City is the Yongji Canal, and it is estimated that the granary is also set up in the north of the city, so as to transport grain and grass." In this way, even if we can't fully occupy Weizhou, without these grains and grasses, more than half of the purpose of this time has been accomplished! ”

When Yelu Abaoji heard this, he pondered for a moment, then nodded decisively and said, "Okay!" Although there are a lot of risks, if this grain and grass are burned, Luo Hongxin's 100,000 yuan will not last long, and at most it will survive this winter! ”

Hearing this, Guo Chongtao clenched his fists, waved them vigorously, and said: "Xuanwu, Wei Bo, Huainan, the three towns, although Xuanwu and Huainan are the most powerful, but just like His Highness, it is like a strong man with two fists outstretched, although the attack power is powerful, but his chest is empty. As the center's chest collapsed, the two fists that lost their bodies were able to go there majestically! ”

When Yelu Abaoji heard this, he showed a smug smile, turned his horse's head and said, "Go!" Go back and schedule the task. ”

Guo Chongtao thought about it for a while, and said: "I'll take people here to watch and see if there is any new situation, general, you go back first." ”

"It's good!" Yelu Abaoji didn't need to say anything, and responded very happily.

The winter night came very quickly, and soon the sky had darkened, and the evil wolf hiding in the forest began to wake up, under the order of Yelu Abaoji. Eight thousand Iron Cavalry soldiers slowly walked out of the forest and advanced towards the north.

Things went so smoothly that Yelu Abaoji was a little dumbfounded, and the sentries in the north all hid in the corner tower and the hidden soldier cave to rest, and occasionally a few unlucky people were half-driven out to patrol. And in Yelu Abaoji's opinion, it was not a patrol, two guys, running in general, came to be interested, and their eyes swept over there. After the run, immediately return to the hiding cave, the speed is staggering.

It wasn't until Yelu Abaoji captured a soldier that he learned that it was all because Luo Wuguan had set up a lot of beacon towers in the north, and the cold wind was blowing from the north. People stand on the tuyere, like a knife blowing. Lu Longjun had never appeared in Weizhou, and these soldiers naturally relaxed. Only then did Yelu Abaoji easily take the northern city wall.

However, Luo Wuguan is worthy of being the person selected by Luo Hongxin to guard Weizhou City, after receiving the attack on Weizhou City, he did not panic, nor did he stupidly send people to recover the northern city, but very calmly sent people to carry the grain and grass in the southern city to Yacheng in Weizhou City. Save as much as you can.

"Attack!" Although Yelu Abaoji admired Luo Wuguan in his heart, he didn't have any mercy on his subordinates in the past. With a wave of his hand, the army launched an attack on Yacheng. In Yacheng is the family of Luo Hongxin and the famous Wei Boya soldiers, as long as Yacheng is captured, Luo Hongxin will either collapse without a fight or lead the army to surrender.
