Huyangeng arrived in Yanzhou in early December.

Yanzhou, also known as Yan'an Mansion, is known as the throat of the five roads. It connects Hedong in the east, Yongxing in the south, Xixia in the north, and Guanxi four roads in the west. Between Shaanxi and Xia, it is a crossroads-like place.

When Huyan Geng arrived, Wanyan Sticky Han was attacking Yanzhou, but there were 9,000 Hujia troops in Yanzhou City, tens of thousands of people were strong, and they were not inferior in numbers, and they could defend the city. Now Yanzhou is in a stalemate.

Under the cover of his brother, Hu Yangeng led the headquarters of the Beiwei Army into Yanzhou. met his father and uncle, and formally introduced Gao Lu to the inner house, and Hu Yangeng was called to the lobby to participate in the military discussion.

Although he still retains the dispatch of the Lianghe Xuanfu Division, Hu Yangeng has currently adopted the strategy of watching the nose and the nose and the heart. Wanyan Muhan did not have an advantage in troops, and the command of his uncle and father did not seem to be a big problem at the moment, and he did not need to stand up and correct anything. And he is a concubine at home, and he has another foundation in Hebei, so he can't point fingers in Yanzhou to arouse suspicion.

This harmonious situation was broken after the arrival of Orihiko.

"Benfu brought 15,000 people, and Yanzhou has 40,000 people, which is about to double compared to the strength of Muhan." Zhi Yanzhi sat in the middle, and Hu Yan suddenly Hu Yanchi sat on both sides.

Zhi Yan advocated concentrating his forces and fighting a decisive battle with Wanyan Sticky Han. The Fuzhou family was tossed by Sticky Han so that the father and son killed each other, and Folded Yan wanted to find Sticky Han to take a bad breath.

In the bottom of his heart, Zhi Yanzhi also has some resentment against the Huyan family, and Zhi Yanwen complained privately to his starling brother, if it weren't for the instigation of the Huyan family, it might not have gotten to the point of father and son cannibalism.

"It's all to come to Yanzhou to rescue you, why don't you Huyan family hurry up and take out the old book and work hard?"

Under such emotions, Zhi Yanzhi was harsh with the two heads of the Hu family, although Hu Yansu had a relationship with the elders of the Zhi family, he was still a desirable in-law.

Hu Yangeng stood in the hall, a nameless fire arose in his heart, and he was about to ridicule him: "Are you here to fight, or are you here to find fault?" ”

I heard Hu Yan suddenly say: "The advantage of our army over Suo Lu lies in the fortified city, not in the large number of people. The soldiers and horses of the Zhejia family brought by my Yan army and Xuanfu are all elite, and the grain and grass are enough for several months. Although the gold thief is sharp, its disadvantages are also obvious. Coming from afar, it is inconvenient to transport grain and grass. The old man dared to say a word: Guard. ”

Orihiko asked: "Guard? If such a stalemate continues, what are the odds of winning? ”

"I am dozens of miles away from Yanzhou City, divided into two cities, east and west, and the surrounding states and counties have been fortified and cleared. The gold thief came from afar, the grain and grass were scarce, and now it was the wax moon, and the gold thief would be frozen for a few days in the middle of winter, and the gold thief was frozen and hungry, and our army could also take the initiative to attack. When the time comes, the old man personally led 3,000 elites out of the city to attack, picked up the back road, and cut off its grain route. In this way, it will not take a few days for the army of thieves to crush themselves! I dare to assert that within half a month, our army will be victorious. ”

"Since the Taiwei is the guarantor, then Benfu will wait."

After the church was dismissed, Hu Yangeng went to visit his uncle. Hu Yan suddenly snorted: "Shu Kang, you are so domineering, we have to pull back, otherwise I will not be able to be a loyal minister to the Hu family." ”

What is a loyal minister? Hu Yangeng is thinking of a debate and brainwashing his uncle with modern theories. Hu Yan waved his hand suddenly: "I'm tired, I have to discuss how to deal with the gold thief tomorrow, Shu Kang, you can go back and rest." ”

Hu Yan Geng turned around to leave, but Hu Yan suddenly stopped him: "You only have 2,000 people under you, you don't have to participate in this battle with the gold thief." ”

"Captain...... Uncle, why is this so, the end will be more than enough for himself. ”

"I see that Deputy Zhi Xuan has a grudge against you, and I am afraid that he will be confused for a while and issue some military orders that are unfavorable to you. If you don't say it, I'm afraid you'll miss the overall situation. ”

Hu Yangeng argued a few words, and was refuted by Hu Yan suddenly, Hu Yan Geng said: "The last general will be in the city to sweep the Tai Lieutenant formation." ”

After a few more days, more than 100 fast horses galloped from the south: the Yongxing army fell.

On December 13, the third year of Jianyan, the Jin people Lou fell into Chang'an, pacified the Tang Chongzhan pawn, the chief Yang Zongmin, and the envoy Sang Jingxun, and the general sentence said that Guo Zhongxiao was killed. Only the Hedong Economic System, who lived in Yongxing, escaped and went to Yanyan Road to report the news.

"The Yongxing Army is lost, and the Jingzhao Mansion is lost." Hearing this news from the military council, everyone looked at each other, and the loss of the Yongxing army meant that the Wanyan Lou Office who surrounded Chang'an could go north with all their strength and attack Yanzhou.

If it is Wanyan Lou Room and Wanyan Sticky Han Army...... Even if you don't count the signing army, there are 70,000 gold soldiers.

"Jin Bing Yu Benfu, Tuji Wagouer. Lou Room and Mu Han joined forces, 70,000 people, and even less food. In Benfu's view, if you can't celebrate the New Year, the gold thief will be defeated. After Zhi Yan finished speaking, he stood up arrogantly and turned away, so as not to let everyone see the gloom on his face.

"Daddy, Lou sent a message saying that the Yongxing Army Jingzhao Mansion has been defeated, and he will lead his troops to meet in a few days." Finish the face and set up a horse report.

"Lou Room, it's not enough to monopolize the Yongxing Army, but I still want to get a piece of the pie in Yanzhou."

Wanyan Muhan groaned: "You say, is it cost-effective to exchange the entire Yanzhou for the entire Yongxing?" ”

"Of course, Yongxing Jingzhaofu is the old capital of the Tang Dynasty, and I heard from Han officials that it was three hundred years earlier than the founding of the Liao State. There is dragon energy, and it is feasible to be a king. ”

"Han Guan said? It was Gao Qingyi who said it. Looking at the eager gaze in the eyes of his four sons, Wan Yan Muhan waved his hand, "Don't be greedy for fame, it's enough for our family to be a hereditary prime minister." ”

"Lou Room wants to come, let him come, he is about to enter the ground, I think the living girl is a person who only knows how to kill, and she can't keep the family business."

Wan Yan Lou Room rode on his horse, grabbed the reins, looked forward, and then turned his head to look back. He led a main force of more than 30,000 people. Vulgar clouds: There are 10,000 people, boundless, like a rolling torrent, and you can't see the edge before and after. Yanzhou is in front, Yongxing is in the back. Cloudy red flags, dusty fields.

Five days later, Wanyan Lou led the army to the city of Yanzhou, and he took his son and daughter, Yiying, to Wanyan Sticky Han Village.

The two of them smiled in front of the big tent, exchanged joy, and then entered the big tent side by side.

"Yanzhou is the throat of the five roads, the Song people to resist the Western Xia, the operation for a long time, the city is strong, the soldiers and horses are excellent, and the grain is sufficient. If he sticks to it for a long time and does not fight, our army will not have enough food and grass, what will he do? Wan Yan asked.

"Prime Minister, did you fight the Yongxing Army in vain when I was Lou Murmur? There is a big gift to the prime minister, and within three days, Yanzhou will be broken. ”

"Will the plan be released?"

"The Buddha said, "Don't say it."

After Yan Muhan understood, he looked at him left and right: "Then the matter of capturing Yanzhou, if you hand it over to the capital to command, my sons and daughters will listen to the dispatch." ”

"We will live up to the expectations of the country."

After Yan Lou's room didn't have time to rest, he led four or five generals and colonels, and quietly went out of the camp to watch the reality of Yanzhou.

The dense clouds in the distant sky are dense and dense, covering the stars and moons, and the slightest light is not revealed. It was pitch black in the wilderness, and the wind, which was gradually getting stronger, seemed to be trapped tightly by the darkness, struggling left and right, and could not break through. Even the air seemed to have changed into substance.

Yanzhou City stands on the vast land of Sanshan, and every battlement has a torch, bright and bright, and the flames are soaring to the sky. This flame of light illuminates a radius of several miles around the front and back, and only a radius of several miles around the front and back.

If you look down from the sky, from the dark clouds that rush back and forth, as if they were undulating, then the city is like the only shining candle in the gloomy night where you can't see your fingers. The candlelight seemed bright, but it seemed that the slightest wind could blow it out.

The wind blows like a knife, blowing so that people can't open their eyes, they can't see anything clearly, and the war horses don't dare to gallop wantonly.

After Yan Lou's room, everyone did not light torches, and quietly approached the outside of Yanzhou City. They are in the dark, the Song soldiers are in the light, and the Yanzhou soldiers on the head of the city can see clearly. Huyan has been a general for a long time, and the generals and colonels of the Yanzhou Army have all been war-hardened for a long time, and the deployment arrangements on the city head are well organized.

Artillery, trebuchets, sassers, tiles, boiling oil, and other defensive equipment are in their place. Knife and axemen, spearmen, crossbowmen, and other types of troops, which are well matched. From time to time, officers in bright armor patrol troops swaggered by, shouting loudly to be on guard.

"The morale of the Yanzhou army looks pretty good."

Wan Yan Lou didn't care, looked at the city intently, and said, "Let's wait until tomorrow after the war starts, and then see how his morale is." ”

Early the next morning, the Jurchen army launched an offensive. The location of the attack, Wanyan Lou Room seems to have chosen the East City Gate at random. And Wanyan Sticky Han's troops attacked from the other three sides.

As soon as the war began, it was directly plunged into a fierce battle.

The guards of the East City Gate, in less than two quarters of an hour, asked Huyansu for help three times. Before the battle was in the afternoon, the city wall collapsed in two places. Wanyan Huonu and Wanyan Yiying took turns to go into battle and led the team to rush to the city. Flying stones are like rain, arrows are like locusts. Fireworks filled the air, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

The Jurchen army only rested for a few days, and its strength was not fully recovered, and it fought until the afternoon, and its stamina was slightly insufficient. However, the handsome banner of Wanyan Lou's room did not retreat half a step, and the Jurchen tribes did not dare to retreat and fought endlessly.

On the side of the Yanzhou army, Hu Yanchi couldn't sit still for a long time, so he asked Huyan Shukang to personally climb to the top of the city, brave the arrows and stones, and command the battle.

The defensive force of the East City Gate was originally the strongest, but there were too many trebuchets and nest carts prepared by Wanyan Muhan under the city, and the Jurchen soldiers were not afraid of death. The children of the Hu family took turns to fight to ensure that the city gate was not lost.

The enemy and us are evenly matched, and the tug-of-war is like a tug-of-war that spills out the flesh and blood in the sky.

The corpses of the dead were scattered all over the city, rivers of blood flowed, and the dents made by trebuchets were all over the walls and ground. The tattered banners mingled with the city's head, and the dusty and blood-stained standard-bearers under the walls scrambled to climb the ladder to snatch the glory of the first uphill city.

As the battle approached evening, there was a sudden uproar in the city. But it was a group of soldiers wearing Song army uniforms and white scarves wrapped around their arms, reinforcing the city, and then slashing and killing the defenders of the city.
