Yongnian City in Zhaozhou is an unusually calm scene before the storm is coming.

The ditches outside the city, the anti-horse piles, the stars are intertwined into a net, the newly repaired horse face wall, the sheep and horse wall, the hanging building, stand quietly, it can be seen how much effort Xia Jun has spent in Zhaozhou in the past few months, and he is ready to fight a decisive battle with Zhao Jun under the city of Zhaozhou.

The General's Mansion in the city.

Liu Heimin was by the door frame, looking up at the lead-clouded sky over the prefecture outside the mansion. Stratus clouds rolled, and it looked as if the heavy clouds were about to overwhelm the treetops, and a suffocating solemnity permeated the general's mansion.

Ling Jing, Cui Junsu, and Kong Deshao, the masterminds of the Xia Army in the hall, stood behind Liu Heimin, and this is Liu Heimin's current team of advisers. Ling Jing, as the mastermind of Dou Jiande, was a little unconfident in his heart, because in the past, when Dou Jiande was under his command, there were both the resourceful and knowledgeable Song Zhengben, and Zhang Xuansu, who was known as a last resort and did not reveal a drop of water.

Ling Jing was ranked No. 3 at most, but at the moment, Liu Heimin had no one to strategize, so he could only be entrusted with important tasks.

Except for Ling Jing, the other two are the thirty-fourth grandson of Kong Qiu, but he has nothing to do except compose poetry. As for Cui Junsu, he is a native of Xinzheng, from the Qinghe Cui family, a famous family in the world. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he served as the county guard of Yingzhou, and when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, he served as a squire in the military department, and was captured by Dou Jiande last year and served as a servant. Cui Junsu was old and slow to make decisions, and Dou Jiande only saw that he was a famous child, so he was recruited to entrust him with important tasks to attract talents.

Now that Zhaozhou is facing a big war, how can Ling Jing expect Kong Deshao and Cui Junsu to be the two.

Cui Junsu opened his mouth and said: "A few days ago, Li Shentong revealed the news to us, saying that Li Tang's secret spy in Taiyuan County had detected the news of the full mobilization of the Taiyuan County Government. And the township soldiers are also in large-scale exercises, Zhao State stationed in Taiyuan Mansion general Wei Chi Gong has not seen for many days, Li Tang said that it seems that at the border of Taiyuan Heng Mountain, he has seen Wei Chi Gong's handsome banner. ”

"Is Li Tang's meticulous work reliable?" Liu Heimin asked.

Kong Deshao stepped forward and said, "General Qiyu, Li Tang now intends to destroy Yu Wenhua. The monopoly of Hanoi may be to release the news of Zhao's large-scale attack, so that we can retreat from Hanoi and defend ourselves. And in the past few days, there have been rumors of the Zhao army's attack in Zhaozhou, which seems to be deliberately done by Li Tang's people. ”

Liu Heimin nodded and said, "Kong Shilang is reasonable. ”

Ling Jingyan said: "It's not just Li Tang who said this, our army is in Youjing, Hengshan. The detailed work of Hejian reported that the Zhao army, whether it was a government soldier or a township soldier, had stepped up its training in the past month. ”

"what?" Liu Heimin frowned and asked.

Ling Jingyan said: "It is a practice of filling trenches and breaking trenches, digging walls and breaking cities, and all departments have also supplemented soldiers. Meticulous work. When there was no one at night, countless carriages came out of the granary of Youjing, full of grain and grass and went somewhere. ”

Liu Heimin slammed the door frame with a hammer, and said: "It seems that Li Chongjiu is really going to attack my Xia Kingdom, do you really have this confidence?" ”

Ling Jingyan said: "The general has another matter, we have also heard the news of Yu Wenhua and the detailed work there. said that not long ago, Yu Wenhua sent a secret envoy to Youjing, in exchange for his younger brother Yu Wenzhi and Empress Xiao, and promised to use Liyang Cang as a military food supply to support Li Chongjiu's expedition to Xia. ”

Ling Jingzheng said: "Liyang Cang is less than fifty miles south of Zhaozhou, and it is also based on the Yongji Canal, and the grain ships can reach Zhaozhou by waterway in half a day. We have been calculating before, Li Chongjiu has grain and grass in his hands. However, it only lasts for two months to supply 100,000 troops, so if the war is not good, it can be held in Zhaozhou, but if Li Chongjiu can get the support of military rations from Liyang Cang, the military rations will not be worried. ”

Cui Jun said solemnly: "It's really tricky. When the world was in turmoil, some people said that Liyang harvested, Gu Kyushu, Li Mi was originally based on Liyang Cang, opened a warehouse to eat the people, raised 200,000 brave and strong, and Yu culture and profligate, and never exhausted, Liyang Cang has the Yellow River, Yongji Canal convenience, if Yu culture and Ken full support, Li Chongjiu's army besieged Yuzhou, can it last, do not worry about the consumption of military food. ”

"Where is it so easy? Yu Wenhua is not a scheming person, how can he let Li Chongjiu Zhenghou Xuzhou and Liyang two places, isn't this leading the wolf into the room," Liu Heimin looked at the strategists and said, "Even if Li Chongjiu has the granary of Liyang, there is nothing to fear, Li Tang and the Turks all eat dry rice?" Li Chongjiu attacked me with the army of the whole country, and if he was trapped under the fortified city for several months and did not resist, he would be exhausted. Li Tang, the Turks will never let go of this opportunity. ”

Hearing Liu Heimin say this, everyone's hearts are a little wider.

Ling Jingyan said: "A few days ago, there was a person under Gao Yaxian's account who joined the army and told us that there were suspicious people entering and leaving Gao Mansion in the past few days. He monitored for several days, and noticed that Gao Yaxian's corporal had received a military order the day before yesterday, ordering men to take out swords and guns from the arsenal, as if to equip the whole army for a big battle. ”

Kong Deshao said to himself: "King Xia is now threatened by Li Chongjiu and Zhang Xuansu, writing a book to recruit the old department of our army, Gao Yaxian is the righteous brother of King Xia, if this person is won over by Li Chongjiu, there will be a group of old troops of King Xia who will defect." ”

Cui Junsu heard Kong Deshao also show a look of deep approval and said: "General, I would rather kill by mistake than let go, whether to order someone to take Gao Yaxian immediately!"

Liu Heimin stood still, obviously hesitating for a while.

Ling Jing stepped forward and said: "Gao Yaxian is stationed in Gaoyang City, and it is the gateway of our army, if Li Chongjiu is against Gao Yaxian, then the gateway of Gaoyang City will be self-defeating." ”

Liu Heimin sighed and said: "Although Gao Yaxian has a thin relationship with me, this person attaches great importance to righteousness and promise, so I am willing to hand over Gaoyang City to him to garrison, Brother Gao is definitely not a person who is moved by profit, I can trust him." ”

The ministers had to say more, Liu Heimin said: "The army that attacked Yu Wenhua and immediately withdrew from Liaocheng, and told Li Shentong about this matter, in case Li Chongjiu really sent troops to the south, I implore him to speak to the Tang Lord and send troops to help me." Li Shentong is a drunken person, so he will do what he likes, and other things will be decided like this. ”

When the ministers heard this, they immediately received the order together.

Speaking of this, Liu Heimin looked at the condensed heavy clouds in the northern sky, and at this moment rolled towards the head of the city of Zhaozhou. It is the scenery of a black cloud that wants to destroy the city.

The wind was blowing, and the heavens and the earth seemed to lose color in an instant.

Liu Heimin faced such a difficult environment, but it aroused the blood courage in his heart.

Choke! Liu Heimin drew his sword and shouted at the north: "Come on! ”

Rumble!

A bolt of lightning split the sky in half, and thunder rang out.

Then the rain fell.

Thousands of miles away, the war drums of Youjing shook the sky.

At dawn on this day, on the streets of Youjing, a boy of twelve or thirteen years old ran barefoot.

When he came to the market, he shouted at the people: "There is a war!" ”

"It's going to be war!"

"Splash monkey," said one of them, grabbing him by the skirt of his clothes, "what are you yelling at in the morning?" ”

The young man suddenly broke away and said: "Where am I talking nonsense, there is really a war, and it is King Zhao who is going to conquer in person!" ”

"Really?"

And all the people gathered around.

One person said: "Since the conquest of Dou Jiande last year, King Zhao has not left this secluded capital for a year. ”

"Yes, the Khitan has just been pacified, and at the moment, apart from Li Tang and the Turks, which other country is my opponent of Da Zhao. Where is this army going? ”

The crowd asked the young man in a gossiping voice.

The young man was stunned by the question at the moment, and said anxiously: "I don't have a few mouths, a person can answer like this, if you don't believe it, look at the school field in the north of the city, the school is full of soldiers in iron armor, and the sun shines so much that people can't open their eyes." ”

While speaking, suddenly in the direction of the north of the city, a sound like a tsunami suddenly broke out.

"Zhao Wang Chitose!"

"Zhao Wang Chitose!"

When the people heard this, they hurried to the streets, only to see that soon the streets were overflowing.

The sound of the chariot, the sound of the horses, and the sound of the collision of iron armor made a loud sound, and the soldiers of the Zhao army carried bows and crossbows, and the quivers at their waists and hips, and strode forward with majestic steps.

The flaming Zhaozi banner led the way, and the army rolled through the entire street.

Many of the Zhao army were the children of the land of Youyan, so when they heard that the army was going out, the people in the market came out to see them off.

The father calls the son, the brother calls the brother, and the wife recognizes the husband. Whether they knew each other or not, the women in the market stuffed the buns and eggs in the baskets into the hands of the soldiers.

The streets were crowded with people, many of whom followed the army.

King Zhao's chariot drove behind, surrounded by hundreds of iron horsemen, slowly moving on the street.

Above the car, the activity space is very spacious.

There are also more than a dozen small grids on the wall of the car, and the grids are full of books, and Li Chongjiu can draw books from the bookshelf at any time to browse in the car.

Now Li Chongjiu closed his eyes as if he was recuperating his nerves, and Zhang Xuansu was telling Li Chongjiu carefully.

"So Liu Heimin didn't hit the scheme?" Li Chongjiu listened to Zhang Xuansu's advice and opened his eyes.

Zhang Xuansu nodded, and said: "I am just casting a net everywhere, Liu Heimin is not a person who is easy to trust others, although Kong Deshao secretly took refuge in us, but Liu Heimin does not believe him at all, and he can't master important military aircraft, as for the confession of Gao Yaxian's subordinates who bought us to join the army, Liu Heimin did not believe it. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xuansu paused and said: "I think that since Dou Jiande is not in the middle of the plan, and Gao Yaxian is stationed in Gaoyang City, our army has only one way to attack!" ”

Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "A plan is just a means, if it doesn't work, it won't work, there is no general trend, what's the use of someone plotting, Gao Yaxian is a lonely city, and how many days can he rely on my army?" ”

Zhang Xuansu pinched his beard and said with a slight smile: "The king has good luck, as long as he can be lucky and divide the momentum of several ways, Liu Heimin will definitely be powerless to resist the general trend of the king." ”

"You're wrong," Li Chongjiu raised the curtain, looked out the window at the people cheering and saw him off, and said, "My general trend is here." ”
