Yongnian City has been built for a long time, the earliest called Quliang City, is the fief of Mao Sui, a meritorious hero of Zhao during the Warring States Period. Later, it was called Guangnian County, and the name was used until the Kaihuang period, because of the Guangzi of Yang Guang in the Sui Dynasty, it was changed to Yongnian County

Since Li Chongjiu made the decision to attack Yongnian City, he ordered Tanzong to defend Liyang City for Tudi, and replaced the brave and warlike soldiers of the Yan tribe, and the general of the Xi tribe begged Ashu to guard Wu'an City, Wang Mahan guarded Handan, and ordered Guo Xiaoke to guard the name of the grain and grass land.

For example, the Hebei generals who surrendered from Liu Heimin, Li Chongjiu asked them to prepare their own headquarters to replace the Zhao army stationed there. For example, Li Wenxiang is the governor of Hebei Province patrolling Qinghe and Wuyang two counties, Li Deyi is the governor of Haidong Province patrolling the plains, Bohai two counties, Zhuge Dewei is the governor of Hejian and patrolling Hejian County, and Wang Xiaohu is the governor of Xindu County.

Zhao troops from all over the country gathered in Yongnian City from all directions.

After capturing Handan, Wu'an, and Lishui on the periphery of Yongnian City, Li Chongjiu's army surrounded Yongnian from all sides, and uprooted the dock forts and forts near Yongnian City one by one. The strategy of dividing and attacking together reached the last step, and Li Chongjiu and Xu Shiji, Etuo, Wei Chigong, Xue Wanjun, and Wu Gu Nai all came together under the city.

The Zhao army that besieged Yongnian City reached 60,000 people, and the city was surrounded by water.

Now the final battle that swept Hebei, the final goal, Yongnian City is in sight. After the Zhao army broke through the city with iron hooves, the strongest enemy who prevented Li Chongjiu from unifying Hebei was swept away.

The 60,000 soldiers of the Zhao army, from the generals to the soldiers, looked at the Yongnian City in the middle of the depression in front of them, and they were all gearing up, eager to try, waiting for the final battle to capture Hebei.

"Your Majesty. Yongnian City is not easy to attack! ”

Xu Shiji and Zhao Junzhong's generals accompanied Li Chongjiu to inspect the terrain around Yongnian. So he told Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu knew it in his heart, looked at Xu Shiji and said, "It's okay to say it directly." ”

Xu Shiji pointed to the head of Yongnian City and said, "Your Majesty, look. This Yongnian city is located in the middle of Daze, it can almost be called a water city, this city is surrounded by thousands of acres of depressions and endless reeds, such a terrain is very unfavorable for our cavalry to impact the city. ”

Li Chongjiu held the horsewhip and looked at it, this Yongnian City is just as Xu Shiji said, surrounded by water and reeds, if you want to attack the city, the army must be stationed in the mud and puddles. Moreover, such terrain makes it difficult to bring siege weapons from Yujing.

Zhang Xuansu said to Li Chongjiu: "According to the news from the city, Liu Heimin has already prepared for war after he built the capital for Yongdong. Yongnian City is thirteen steps in Saturday, it is the largest city in Wu'an County, this city is the only dry land water city in Hebei, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Liu Heimin has already done a good job of sticking to the intention, and in June he will put all the summer grain in Hebei in the city. It can accommodate 20,000 Xia troops and 20,000 people in the city to eat until winter. Liu Heimin also built four urn cities behind the four city gates, because there are also city gate towers on the city gate of the urn city, so this city has four gates and eight floors.

In addition to strengthening the city gates. And four corner towers were built at the four corners, and twenty-six bunks were placed above the walls of the city as shelters for the army. This fall. Liu Heimin mobilized another 20,000 civilian servants to lead the Fuyang River into the city Zhou. Dig deep into the moat of the besieged city. In addition, on the castle tower, there is also a stone throwing machine. Eight Ox Crossbows. ”

General Zhao Junzhong looked solemn when he heard this, Li Chongjiu asked the general Cheng Mingzhen, and Su Dingfang said: "As far as you know, can there be flaws in Yongnian City?" ”

Su Dingfang was silent, looking at Yongnian City without speaking.

Cheng Mingzhen said after hearing this: "With the last general's knowledge, it is really difficult to attack the city. However, Yongnian City is low-lying, so it is better to mobilize civilian servants to build a soil mountain in the east of the city, and it may be possible to do so. ”

"How many civilian servants will be mobilized?"

Cheng Ming said: "At least 10,000 civil servants." ”

Li Chongjiu looked at Yongnian City, thought a little in his heart, and said: "Immediately go to the counties of Zhaozhou to mobilize 50,000 young and strong people. ”

Cheng Ming said: "10,000 civilian servants are fine, why mobilize 50,000 civilian servants." ”

Li Chongjiu said: "If our army wants to capture Yongnian City, it must be decisive, anyway, no matter how much civilian service is mobilized, the only thing that is consumed is just military rations. ”

Xue Wan said: "What the king said is very true, and the minister immediately transferred another 100,000 stone of military rations from Liyang Cang. ”

As soon as the military order was given, the Zhao army immediately mobilized.

At this moment, in Yongnian City, Liu Heimin and Ling Jing were in the corner tower of the northeast city, looking at the Zhao army camp in the distance. But seeing the military flag hunting and fluttering, the Zhao army camp was majestic like a mountain, and there was no end in sight.

In order to prepare for the decisive battle of Xia and Zhao, Liu Heimin strengthened Yongnian City, and now he is in the corner tower, which was built in the summer and autumn of this year, which can be used for overlooking, and also for defending the corners and corners of the city wall. You must know that the besieging side likes to carve the city in the four corners of the city.

Although Liu Heimin had been prepared, he still didn't dare to take Zhao Jun lightly under the siege.

Ling Jing earnestly told Liu Heimin: "At present, the Zhao army has surrounded my Yongnian City, and the formation is twenty miles away, listening to the last news before the fall of Lishui, Li Chongjiu ordered four generals, respectively, in Liyang, Handan, Wu'an, and Daming, which is the second encirclement. ”

Liu Heimin listened to Ling Jingyan and said: "Li Chongjiu has made up his mind, the double encirclement network is to let me Liu Heimin be trapped in Yongnian, and it will be difficult to fly with wings." ”

Ling Jingyan said: "Anyway, the general, I don't want to leave Yongnian City, the current battle situation is roughly like this, the Turks are attacking the Zhao army's border fortress, and the Zhao army is besieging Yongnian City, now it depends on who of the two families will support it longer." ”

Liu Heimin nodded and said, "Have you settled all the places in the city?" ”

Ling Jingyan said: "General, please rest assured, everything is arranged, there are now more than 20,000 soldiers in the city, as well as nearly 20,000 Xia soldiers, the families of Xia officials, these are all our own people, before the Zhao army was encircled, we deliberately cleared out a single unrelated person and drove out of the city, so as to put an end to any Zhao army's meticulous work." ”

Liu Heimin said: "The infiltration of the Zhao army's fine work is pervasive, before the fall of the city, I heard that there are Zhao army fine work in it as an internal response, you must know that although this army is my henchman, but the hearts of the people are separated from the belly, many generals in the city, soldiers are likely to have been bought by Zhang Xuansu, as well as the previous Xia army generals." ”

Ling Jingyan said: "This is a critical moment, if you want to calm people's hearts, you need to strictly order the law, our army can practice the law of continuous sitting, five soldiers and soldiers are a group, supervise each other, one person has a bad pool, the whole gang is killed, and the general is three for a team, the same is true." In addition, the four gates must be guarded by reliable confidants, and their families will be placed in the general's palace as hostages. ”

"In addition, the granary, arsenal, and Jiufang Gate in the city should also be watched, so that there will be no internal troubles."

Liu Heimin listened to the words and said, "Just do what you say." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Heimin paused and said: "I see that the terrain here in the east of the city is low and low, and the Zhao army is likely to choose here to break the city, and the defense of this place needs to be strengthened." ”

Ling Jingyan said: "The general is wise, I will arrange someone to do it." ”

Thinking of this, Liu Heimin nodded and strode down the northeast corner tower.

The next day, it was the autumn wind.

More than 50,000 civilian servants requisitioned by Li Chongjiu from various counties in Zhaozhou were driven to the city of Yongnian. In the troubled times, being requisitioned for military service is a life of nine deaths, and the people of Zhaozhou are reluctant to go when they hear about the requisition.

However, the Zhao army sent a horseman, armed with soldiers, and blocked the main roads of various cities and villages with fierce gods, so that the people could not flee and could only obey their lives.

Zhao Jun was now serving as a soldier over the age of fifteen and under the age of fifty in all counties of the prefecture and drove to Yongnian City.

The people were frightened and recruited from various counties, and they traveled for a day, and only when it was dark did they rush to the camp of the Zhao army.

On the road, even the most clever people did not dare to flee, but after coming to the Zhao army camp, it was a different scene when they saw it.

The barracks were filled with an intoxicating aroma of roasted wheat straw, and in the open space where thousands of people could be seated, more than a dozen huge round wooden barrels were filled with green vegetable soup, golden yellow and clear wheat cakes were piled up like hills, and most importantly, there were several rice bowl-sized buckets full of corn porridge.

The leader of the Zhao army and the gang also put the porridge and cakes on the open space in the same way, and this scene can be seen that the people who have walked for a day are all drooling.

"Look at everything, it's all yours, open your mouth wide for a while and give it to me, don't worry, I've said it's full."

The militias burst into cheers after hearing this, for the people who usually eat two meals a day at home, one dry meal and one thin meal, and have not eaten enough for many years, this is simply a scene that they dream of every night. On weekdays, even during the New Year's holidays, I have never eaten such a good thing.

The people were in disbelief, and the escort Zhao Jun said again: "Look, you have this bit of talent, as long as you work hard in the future, you will have such good food every day, our Zhao King loves the people like a son, and regards the world as a family, not only the Zhao people, but also the people of Hebei are treated equally." You don't need a military order, you can get a bucket of rice after every 10 days of military service, and after 30 days, you can ensure that your wife and children will not have to worry about food this month. Damn, Lao Tzu is a soldier in the government army, and he only gets two buckets of rice a month, which is cheaper than you Tianshehan. ”

These people were dumbfounded, and had never heard of military service or rice rations. At that time, Emperor Yang edicted more than 100,000 men and women in Hebei counties to open the Yongji Canal. Yan Bi, the minister in charge of supervising the construction of the Yongji Canal, was forced to serve even women in order to meet the deadline.

In order to build this Yongji Canal, the bones of the people were fortified, and after the Yongji Canal was completed, Yan Bi (Note 1) did not give any remuneration to the people, at that time it was natural for the people to serve in civil service, and the law of the Great Sui stipulated that the people had to serve for 20 days every year, and the people even had to bring their own food when they served.

And now that Zhao Jun is serving, the people not only have such a sumptuous meal every day, but also have a salary of three buckets of rice a month, which is like a dream.

Note 1: Yan Bi's son is the famous Yan Liben. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!)
