"Bamboo Girl."

As soon as he saw Zhuyun appear, Li Yide smiled and said loudly: "The girl finally appeared as promised, and the old man has been waiting for a long time." ”

Zhu Yun hugged Li Yide with a fist, sat on the chair gently and skillfully, and glanced at the two teams of warriors on both sides, and said with a smile: "How did the old man think about it?" ”

Li Yide stared at Zhu Yun and said in a deep voice: "The old man wants to know, if the old man can help Mrs. Yang, what promise can Mrs. Yang give the old man?" How can the old man believe that Taiwei Yang can control the Khitan people, and after entering the city, he will not set up arson to loot and burn the city, harming the people of Yinzhou? ”

When Zhu Yun heard the joy in his words, he was overjoyed, but his face was more composed, and he raised his big finger and said: "The old man has this mind to abandon the dark and turn to the light, and he has the grace of reinvention to the people of Yinzhou, and the merit is immeasurable." As for Taiwei Yang's kindness, the old man can rest assured. Whether it is Yinzhou or Luzhou, they are all under the banner of the Great Song Dynasty, in their own territory, who dares to risk the world's shame and do the stupid thing of slaughtering the city?

Besides, Li Guangrui was unable to protect Yinzhou and fell into the hands of Khitan traitors. Of course not, in the future, this Yinzhou will be my captain's, if Yinzhou becomes a dead city, what is the use of taking it? In view of this, as long as the old man helps my captain to seize Yinzhou, my captain will try his best to protect Yinzhou. ”

Li Yide was unmoved, and said calmly: "The truth is this, but once the city is broken, what will the Khitan soldiers do after entering the city, I know very well, don't talk about Captain Yang, even if the king of the Khitan Southern Courtyard, Yelu, raised his sword and personally stood at the head of the city to restrain military discipline, he couldn't control this crazy tiger who went out of the gate." ”

Zhu Yun stretched out a green jade finger, shook it gently, and said with a smile: "The old man only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other, and don't worry, Zhu Yun hasn't finished talking yet." My captain is sure not to let Yinzhou suffer from the Khitan military disaster and protect the people of Yinzhou because...... If the old man is willing to help my family, my family doesn't want the Khitans to participate in this battle to capture the city. ”

"You mean...... The Luzhou Army completed it alone? ”

"Yes, the night attack on Yinzhou City was completed by my Luzhou Army alone. By the time the Khitans noticed something was wrong, the banner of my captain had already floated at the head of Yinzhou City. Yelusheng's mission is to crusade against the rebellious King Yelusheng, not to compete with my Taiwei for Yinzhou City, if we hand over Yelusheng's head, how sure is he to take Yinzhou again, and turn against my Taiwei? If we design more exquisitely, chasing King Qing without killing him, do you think Yelu will come to take the city, or will he go after Yelusheng? ”

Li Yide's two long eyebrows twitched, and he said, "Just rely on your men and horses to quickly control the entire Yinzhou City before the Khitans wake up, is it possible?" Today, the Luzhou army attacked the city, the old man once looked at the city, and saw the dust behind your military camp, and the army was coming and going. There are not so many soldiers and horses in Luzhou, if the two feudal domains of Zheyang borrow troops from your captain, the large team of men and horses will run for a long time, and the momentum will be very loud, and it will not be able to hide the eyes and ears of King Qing. You don't think that King Qing has nothing to do in the area of Hengshan, right? ”

Zhu Yun said: "The rear operation of the soldiers is a suspicious strategy. King Qing is above the bucket watchtower, and he can see clearly from a high position. Even if he doesn't have eyeliner scouts, he can't hide it, it's difficult to be an old man, just based on this analysis, you can know the clues, that kind of means, although you can't hide King Qing, you can't hide the old man, you have to hide from ordinary soldiers and people, and greatly demoralize them, but it is more than enough. ”

Li Yide said in a deep voice: "In this case, where did you come from to capture the city?" And the five or seven thousand soldiers that are present in your camp? It must be known that once you enter the city at night, it is a melee, in the vast night, the streets and alleys, it is a bad battle, excellent equipment, strict military discipline, and the dispatch of generals are all useless, and the comparison is simply the number of troops. ”

Zhu Yun said, "What if my family captain still has enough troops to ensure that he can quickly and overwhelmingly control the whole city?" ”

Li Yide retorted: "With Luzhou's sophisticated siege equipment, if there are enough troops to control the whole city, how can the battle be so tragic? Why hasn't it been used so far? ”

Zhu Yun said: "A wrestler who can pull out the mountain and resist the top must also step on the solid ground with both feet to use his strength; If a horse that travels thousands of miles a day is stuck in the mire, it will still be difficult to move an inch. The old man should know that the soldiers who have never learned the method of siege, no matter how many people there are, they will be sent to death, and the Khitan has 50,000 terrifying iron horses, from the most elite Diera Six Courtyard Headquarters, crisscrossing the grassland, and has always been invincible, but under the city of Yinzhou, their performance is not as good as my Luzhou soldiers and horses that are less than 10,000. Bing, you have to use it properly, don't you say? ”

Li Yide showed a puzzled look in his eyes, his eyes flickered for a moment, leaned forward slightly, and said slowly: "Then...... What is the origin of this so-called army? ”

Zhu Yun smiled and said, "The little woman has said enough, how can the old man make me believe in your sincerity?" ”

Li Yide straightened his waist, looked at Zhu Yun, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, call the nine-tails to the old man." Then one of them hurried out of the hall.

Li Yide said: "The old man handed over the eldest grandson of the long house to you as a hostage, is this sincerity enough?" ”

In the northwestern frontier region, the custom of the pre-Qin period was still followed, and when the weaker side expressed friendship and concluded alliances with the stronger, it would take important sons and nephews as hostages. At present, although Yang Hao has asked Li Yide, once the city is broken, Li Yide will rely on Yang Hao, and Li Yide naturally does not dare to pretend to be a strong man. Moreover, the poor people in the northwest account for the majority, as long as they have money and food in their hands, they can reunite at any time when the soldiers are gone, and the Li family can't afford to consume so many sons and nephews.

Zhu Yun said solemnly: "The old man has this sincerity, it is naturally enough." ”

Li Yide said: "I believe that Miss Zhuyun has already explored my Li family clearly, the old man is the grandson of the long house, now there is only such one, as if it is a pearl in the palm of his hand, if Taiwei Yang really has an army, enough to control the whole city, then the old man will cooperate with you." ”

As he spoke, a beautiful woman of twenty-five or sixteen years of age walked into the hall with a child of seven or eight years old, who was rubbing his sleepy eyes.

Zhu Yun naturally made some inquiries about the core figure of the Li family, and his eyes immediately fell on the boy. This boy is Li Yide's long-term love grandson nine-tailed, "Classic of Mountains and Seas" has clouds, the country of Qingqiu has nine tails of foxes, in the pre-Qin period, nine-tailed foxes and dragons, turtles, unicorns, etc. are auspicious beasts, among which the nine-tailed fox represents the prosperity of the descendants. In the Tang Dynasty, there were still worship and sacrifices of fox gods and sky foxes in the Central Plains. The descendants of the Li family are really prosperous, but the branch of the long house has not been born for a long time, so after finally getting a grandchild, Li Yide gave him the name of the nine-tailed breast.

As soon as she saw Li Yide, the beautiful woman blessed her body and said, "Daddy." But the boy let go of his mother's hand, and ran over with joy, crying out for joy, "Grandpa." ”

"Good grandson." Li Yide hugged his grandson to his lap with a smile and said: "Good grandson, our Li family is in big trouble, grandpa wants to conclude an alliance with a big tribe, and grandpa needs to take out the most precious treasure as a counter-hostage, grandpa's most precious treasure is a good grandson, do you dare to be a hostage for the Li family?" ”

The little boy's hair was shaved into a teapot lid, and pigtails hung down on both sides, quite like the style of the Hu people of the Western Regions. Looking at his face, tiger head and tiger brain, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a little similar to Li Yide, Li Yide asked, he nodded without hesitation, and said loudly: "Sun Er dare!" ”

"Ahh The beautiful young woman exclaimed, quickly covered her mouth, and immediately showed an anxious and worried look in her eyes, but the rules of the Li family were obviously very strict, and there was no part for her woman to intervene on such an occasion, even if the person concerned was her son, the young woman only looked at her father-in-law with pleading eyes, but did not dare to say a word.

Li Yide lovingly touched his grandson's hair and said with a smile: "Nine-tails, if grandpa loses his trust, they will cut off your head, aren't you afraid?" ”

The Nine-Tails said childishly: "Don't be afraid." Dad said that those who are responsible are manly husbands, and those who are afraid of death should not be my Li family's son. ”

Li Yide laughed and praised repeatedly: "Good boy, good boy, this is the seed of our Li family, hahahaha......"

He pointed at Zhuyun, slapped his grandson's buttocks, and said, "Go, listen to that sister, it won't be long before grandpa will pick you up." ”

Zhu Yun smiled and said, "Little brother, come here." ”

Nine-tails looked back at his grandfather, and Li Yide bowed his head and said, "Go ahead." ”

The little boy jumped down from his grandfather's lap, walked up to Zhu Yun with a high spirit, and said loudly: "If you want to kill, kill it, the men of my Li family are not greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

Zhu Yun smiled and said: "My little brother is so cute, it's too late for my sister to hurt you, how can I kill you." Your name is Nine-Tails, isn't it? What a name, come, come to my sister. ”

Zhu Yun smiled and said politely, but a soft wattle had been gently placed on the shoulders of the nine tails. The fingers of that hand are slender, delicate and fair, as attractive as a budding stamen, this is a hand that can make a man ** eat bones, but it can also crack tigers and leopards when needed.

Zhu Yun's hand was lightly placed on the shoulder of the nine tails, and then he smiled at Li Yide and said: "This secret, after the city is broken, is no longer a secret, but there should not be too many people who know it now, except for this little brother, can the old man let everyone else quit?" ”

Li Yide did not hesitate, immediately waved his hand, and the generals and warriors standing on both sides immediately retreated, and the beautiful woman glanced at her son worriedly, opened her mouth to speak, and finally just sighed, silently saluted Li Yide, and retreated gently.

Early in the morning of the second day of the ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※, Yang Hao's troops gathered under the city, and on the east and north sides, Yelu also tacitly commanded the army to start a strong attack, and the fierce battle like yesterday started again.

The Li family's mansion was no less busy at this time than the Chinese army marshal's tent in Beicheng Qingwang, and the important people in each branch and room went in and out, and people kept going to their orders, quietly blending into the sergeants and people who were moving back and forth and wandering around the city.

The people who were responsible for the sudden attack on the city, the assassination of King Qing's generals, the ignition of fires everywhere to create momentum, and the people who had a special mission to control the dungeon to protect the lives of Liu Jiye's father and son, all the principals were mobilizing their own manpower and making arrangements in full swing.

And Yang Hao also handed over the command of today's siege to Zhi Weizheng again, he himself sat in the Chinese army, with his generals, henchmen and colonels galloped forward, quietly brewing another monstrous wave in the fierce siege.

It was dark, Yang Hao, as yesterday, still collected his troops, and the exhausted soldiers returned to the camp, where they were greeted with the best Langzhong, medicine, and abundant food. Yang Hao took good care of his army, which had lost at least one-third of its own, and there would be deaths and injuries in battle, but the soldiers who had experienced such a tragic battle, each of them would be a valuable asset, he had money and food, as long as he had sufficient territory, he could expand the army at any time, but this army was a rabble, or an army with a fine tradition of fighting bravely and commanding as one, and the heavy responsibility of this successive fires depended on these veterans.

The defenders in the city were exhausted after a day of fighting, and the stinky and sweaty Yang Danmo didn't even have time to lie down in armor, so he lay on the couch on all fours. The cook came in with delicious food, and Yang Danmo lay lazily on the bed, not wanting to get up at all.

"General, the meal is ready." The cook was respectful.

"Put it there, Lao Tzu will rest and eat." Yang Danmo closed his eyes and said weakly.

"General, the food will be cold after a long time, so you better get up and eat some."

The cook said earnestly and held the dish in front of him, Yang Danmo was furious, Huo Di sat up, and scolded: "When will Lao Tzu eat...... What are you doing? ”

He didn't stop screaming, the tray had smashed all over his face, and the boiling water splashed on his face, so painful that he screamed and closed his eyes involuntarily. He knew that something was wrong, so he wiped the soup on his face with one hand and pulled out the saber at his waist with the other, but before he could open his eyes, a bone cutting knife slashed at his neck, and half of his head was immediately crooked to the side, and the cook was afraid that he would not die, so he swung the knife and slashed it again, and a human head smashed on the couch with a "bang", and the cook wiped a handful of blood on his face, and then pulled out his feet and fled.

The soldiers guarding outside the door suddenly heard the exclamation in the tent, and hurriedly rushed in to take a look, only to see a headless corpse sitting on the edge of the couch, Yang Danmo's fierce head was placed on his left hand side, and the back tent broke a big hole, when they rushed in, a person's back robe had just disappeared from the hole, the two soldiers were shocked, and immediately rushed to chase over, the first person just got out of the hole, a cold arrow flew out of nowhere, and slammed into his neck, and the sharp wolf's tooth arrow penetrated through the neck, The tip of the arrow stopped against the right eye of the latter person, causing him to scream in fright, and a drop of cold sweat just slipped off his forehead, and a bone cutting knife on his side slashed down on the top of his head...... There are not many high-ranking generals like Yang Danmo who have been assassinated, and most of the generals are not Yinzhou cooks, and they are surrounded by guards, and it is not easy to get close. The beheading plan proposed by Yang Hao was not a head, but mainly middle- and lower-level officers who actually commanded the operation. Their positions are not high, they have no subordinates, and they need to deal with the people and the Yinzhou soldiers often, so they are the easiest group of people to attack, and once these people die, before the appointment of a new general, it will immediately cause command failure, paralyzing the whole army, and the effect is more obvious than killing a main general, and it is easier to succeed.

At the same time, the 45,000 elite soldiers led by Ono Keer, composed of the elite soldiers of the Seventh Clan of the Dang Xiang, had also rushed to Yang Hao's camp from the place where they had lurked in advance. 45,000 elite party soldiers, this is Yang Hao's hidden strength, a full 45,000 warriors who can fight well, if they are allowed to attack the city, I am afraid most of them will be cannon fodder, but this ranger is used to fight in the mountains and fields, and in the streets and alleys, it is by no means inferior to anyone.

Yang Hao's team struggled to support, but he refused to use this secretly assembled reserve team, on the one hand, because good steel had to be used on the blade, and they used it to attack the city, and the role was not obvious, on the other hand, it was also because if he couldn't take Yinzhou City, he couldn't form a strategic depth that allowed him to advance and retreat freely in geography, and he couldn't tell the world that the Seventh Clan of the Party had taken refuge in him, and now, it was finally time to use them.

Under the southern city, Commander Li was not afraid of fatigue, and the command post repaired the city wall and blocked the city gate, which was unusually enthusiastic. The Khitan soldiers were exhausted, seeing him so effective, they were happy to retreat to the side to rest, they undressed their armor, dropped their knives and guns, lazily sat on the gravel and debris, and were pressing their hungry stomachs, stretching their necks and looking forward to the big pot of rice being cooked early, the Yinzhou soldiers suddenly shouted as if they were crazy, dropped the sandbags and stones, pulled out their sabers and pounced on the Khitan soldiers closest to them.

At the same time, the people scattered everywhere also acted against the officers they were targeting according to the pre-arrangement. Blood was shot fiercely, the corpse lay horizontally, the guard of the southern city Yang Danmo was killed, many generals and colonels in the army died at the same time, the Yinzhou soldiers and the people suddenly rebelled, the Khitan soldiers who lost their command were defeated, the stone giant trees blocking the city gate were quickly moved away, the city head put down the drawbridge, and the torches were thrown down from the city like meteors, illuminating the road into the city.

Ono Kerr's soldiers are like tigers and horses like dragons, rushing into the pass without stopping, and the sound of hooves is like thunder, shaking the sky and the earth.

At the same time, there was a fire everywhere in the city, and Liu Jiye, who was sitting in the cell, found that several Khitan soldiers had eaten and drunk water, so he lay down on the table outside one by one, sounding like thunder, and felt a little strange, and saw that the cell boss who had been called and drunk by the Khitans and sent like a gray grandson walked in sneakily, holding a bone-dissolving knife in his hand, grabbed the pigtail of a Khitan soldier, and stabbed him in the throat like killing a pig, and then walked towards the second person......
