Chapter 116: Zhan Yuan Prefecture (1)

An autobiographical story of Zhao Ta not only made him determined to rescue Wonju, but also brought him closer to the princess's little sister, making her forget her troubles for a while and have a smile on her face.

"Alas, I'm a little jealous of you, I rarely see my father and mother, and it's been two years!" Zhao Ta said with a bitter face, "Your eldest brother is known as the virtuous king, you listen all day long, you must also be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you can lead the army when you get on the horse, and you can govern the country when you get off the horse, I am really disrespectful!" ”

"Childe, don't talk nonsense!" Yu Liyan said angrily, "But if the prince likes me, I can accompany you to play chess, play the piano, and hunt, but the riding and archery skills are a little worse, otherwise the Jurchens will not be caught!" The two chatted speculatively, and she was in a much better mood!

"Cut, I play the piano and play chess are taught by my teacher, I will never play with you, I must be better at archery than you, King Liang was defeated under my hands back then, I will give you good guidance one day!" Zhao Ta said seriously.

"Childe also learned archery from Shi Niang, can you pull the bow with your thin appearance, archery I beat King Liang at the age of ten, or I can teach you!" Yu Liyan pinched Zhao Ta's arm and pouted and said, joking with him, where is the princess who is still sitting in danger, she is simply an innocent and lively little girl!

"Isn't it boring to be a princess, she reads and writes every day, and there are rules for everything she does, and it is difficult to get out of the imperial city!" Zhao Ta knew that the princesses of the Great Song Dynasty were like caged birds, it was difficult to get out of the palace before the wedding, and they might not have seen the scenery outside Bianjing City in their lives, which was really pitiful, so he was also curious if the princesses of Liao Kingdom also lived such a day.

"That's not suffocating people. We had to travel with our father's camp every year. At the beginning of the first month, the tooth tent departed from Linhuang Mansion in Beijing to Changchun Prefecture. fishing on the glacier; In April, the tent traveled westward to escape the heat and enjoy the coolness. Spend his days hunting, discussing state affairs with ministers from the north and south; Deer shooting in Akiyama in July; In September, I want to go to Guangpingdian, where I sit in the winter school to hunt and talk about martial arts, discuss state affairs with the ministers of the north and south, and receive tribute from the Song Dynasty and other countries, how can I be lonely! Yu Liyan said excitedly, as if returning to the happy times of the past.

"There are so many fun, no wonder you dare to be good at riding and shooting, you can play well, and you still need to learn!" Zhao Tan said with envy, thinking that this kind of office system is not bad. Not only can you play around, but you can also exercise and enjoy the scenery around, which is really a perfect combination of work and leisure. If his father can learn and go around the country, he won't be idle and build a rockery in his yard.

"Of course, it's just that after the Jurchen invasion these years, we have never been to Liaodong again, and we can only wander between Xijing and Nanjing!" Yu Liyan said a little gloomily.

"Alas. Compared with the princess, I am simply not out of the house, you must tell me where the fun is, and I will go around when the world is peaceful! Zhao Ta sighed and said with a frustrated look.

"What's so difficult about this, I'll walk around with my son then. I guarantee that I won't be able to watch it for a few years..."Men and women are actually just as good at showing off, Yu Liyan rarely has the opportunity to say so much to others, and that feeling of sympathy for the same disease. made her feel like she was late when she saw each other, so she also opened the conversation.

Wangfu, who was hiding in the shadows far away, was miserable. I don't dare to walk if I want to, and I don't dare to sleep when I'm sleepy. I didn't dare to stomp my feet when it was cold, for fear of shocking the prince's good deeds. But the more the two chatted, it seemed to be more and more energetic, from the moon hanging on the branches to the red sun, they chatted all night, it seems that they are not finished, I really don't know what kind of wind the prince of Lu Dao is smoking today, shouldn't he fancy someone...

"Second master, it's dawn, it's time for us to go back, the princess's car is ready, it's time to leave for Liangcheng!" Wangfu couldn't help it anymore and walked over to interrupt. When the two heard the reminder, they looked at each other and smiled, this is really embarrassing, the lonely man and widow actually froze in the pavilion all night, and it was Yanagishita Hui who heard that he might have to die of shame!

………

Twilight shrouded the city of Yuanju, the fierce northwest wind could not blow away the heavy bloody gas, outside the south gate stood two three or four zhang high Jingguan, a pair of godless eyes and countless heads hanging under the head of the city looked at each other, as if telling the ruthlessness and cruelty of the war, and the undried blood stains on the battlefield showed the fierceness of the battle.

After the Jin army besieged the city for five days, the food in the city began to be tight, three meals were changed to one meal, some of the hungry soldiers secretly slaughtered the military horses, and some secretly looted in the city, rummaging for the people's private food, and the people also hunted wild dogs and hamsters in the city to satisfy hunger. The Xijing reinforcements that were eager to wear it were still nowhere to be seen.

Seven days later, the soldiers who heard that there was still food in the city lord's mansion gathered at the gate of the palace to ask for food, and after receiving no answer, the hungry soldiers and the people chose to riot in the double choice of starvation and death in battle, and attacked the city lord's mansion at night, but were brutally suppressed by the city lord's private army, all the participants were killed, the heads were hung above the city, and thousands of people died under the swords of their former comrades-in-arms in one day.

But death did not seem to frighten the hungry soldiers, a commander took advantage of the night to open the city gate to try to welcome the Jurchens into the city, fortunately was discovered by the private army of the city lord patrolling the city, after paying huge casualties, eliminated the rebels, repelled the Jurchens closed the city gate, the rebellion was suppressed, under the instructions of prevention, all the soldiers on duty at the four gates that night were all killed, replaced with a trustworthy tribal army.

On the ninth day, the Yuanzhou army under the leadership of Xiao Chongjie tried to break through to Xijing, they chose the weak defense of the Jin army to launch an attack, after a desperate fight, they broke through the defense line of the Jin army, when they thought they could escape, the Jin army ambushed at once, the Yuanzhou army instantly collapsed and scattered, and Xiao Chongjie, who had no hope of breaking through, had no choice but to retreat into the city. After this battle, the vitality of the Yuanzhou army was greatly damaged, and the strength of the city was sharply reduced by fifty.

"Fifth sister, you can't let the eldest brother toss like this anymore, otherwise Yuanzhou City will not be protected!" Xiao Chongjian, the second son of Yuanzhou City, said with a solemn face.

"What can we do, now he can't listen to his father's words, let alone our brothers and sisters!" Zhao Xin said with a wry smile that at the beginning of the expansion of the Yuanzhou Army, she advised her eldest brother that the soldiers were not expensive, and the small land in Yuanzhou City could not afford to support so many people. But where did Xiao Chongjie, who was enthusiastic, listen to it, and with the support of Xijing, the Yuanzhou Army has been repeatedly expanded, and the team has expanded, but the crisis has been buried.

Xiao Chala is not a fool, he will not let him develop, he has his own way to control him, that is, to jam his neck in the grain and grass, and the grain and grass supported are regular and quantitative, so that you will not be able to eat enough and starve to death, and as a result, you can only rely on him more. But Xiao Chongjie didn't know it, he thought that he had the skill of supporting the dragon, and he became more and more domineering, and he couldn't listen to his sister's opinions even more, and he didn't even want to see her.

In the face of Agu's pro-conquest, Zhao Xin thought that he couldn't fight to the death, after all, the strength of Yuanzhou was far from that of a country, but Xiao Chongjie was very optimistic, he thought that with the support of Xijing, he could settle the situation and turn the tide. But the result was that it collapsed at the touch of a button, and there was no power to fight back.

After being defeated and returned to Yuanzhou, Xiao Chongjie went to the other extreme - he was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and he didn't dare to show it when he became the king, and let the Jin army build fortifications and adjust the deployment, and he didn't even have the courage to harass him. Internally, it was brutally suppressed, and the Jurchens had not yet attacked the city, so they killed their own people first. But when the food was about to run out, the Jin army brigade arrived, and the strength increased again, he remembered to break through to Xijing, but fortunately, everyone did not break through the whole city, otherwise there would not even be a nest.

"Yes, I went to see him just now, and when my father was blaming him for not breaking through, he actually said that the purpose of doing this was to consume troops, and if there are fewer people, there will naturally be less food, and everyone can eat the remaining food for a few more days. At this moment, Xiao Chongjian had not yet recovered his breath, and said in a huffing voice.

"Second brother, how much food is still stored in the city?" Zhao Xin thought for a while and asked.

"The food in the treasury is basically exhausted, the support is only two days, there are still more than 1,000 stones in the inner mansion, the eldest brother is forcing his father to ask for it, even if he gives it to him, it won't last for five days, this is still the result of his clever tricks, otherwise we will starve in two more days!" Xiao Chongjian said with a wry smile.

"Well, if you add the slaughter of war horses, you can have three more days!" Zhao Xin said with a deep groan.

"What's the difference between living three more days now and living three days less, now we have to find a way to break out, otherwise we will all die!" Xiao Chongjian said puzzled.

"But now we don't have military power in our hands, even the private army is controlled by the eldest brother, what can we do about it, but if we hold on for a few more days, things will definitely take a turn for the better, and he won't sit idly by!" Zhao Xin said.

"Fifth sister, you said that we can still be saved, who will save us?" Xiao Chongjian said in surprise when he heard that things were still variable.

"Texas, they're going to send troops!" Zhao Xin said firmly.

"No, the eldest brother has been rejected several times to form an alliance with them, will he send troops now?" Xiao Chongjian said with some dejection when he heard this.

"Yes, he'll come!"

"Fifth sister, you have an old relationship with them!" Xiao Chongjian didn't know that Sister Lu Dao had such confidence, and asked.

"No, I have a grudge against them, but he won't let me die at the hands of the Jurchens, he wants me to die at his hands!" Zhao Xin bit his lip and said, since the prince appeared in Texas, it means that Texas is under the control of the prince, and with the monkey spirit of the prince, he must know his whereabouts, and he is the most protective, even if his subordinates are wrong, they can only be punished by him.

"Fifth sister..."Xiao Chongjian was stunned, his sister's confidence actually came from this.

"Second brother, don't ask again, the eldest brother is very strict with me, and this matter can only be done by you!" Zhao Xin knew what the second brother wanted to say, she interrupted Xiao Chongjian's words and said, "What you have to do now is to help the eldest brother, persuade your father to hand over the food to him, and find a way to regain his trust..." )
