"What does Wang Qing think?" Zhao Jiong saw that Wang Yu was beside him without saying a word, and asked. The minister thought that Wu Yingying's deeds were obvious, but he was still unwilling to openly rebel. For today's plan, since he is willing to pay tribute to the imperial court, the imperial court also needs the war horses of Hexi and Qingtang, so he ordered him to speed up the attack on the Qingtang Fanbu, and pay tribute to 10,000 war horses and 50,000 catties of jade every year to consume his strength. Wang Yu replied respectfully, as if he had no friendship with Wu Yingying, and Zhao Jiong nodded when he saw that he was doing his best.

A few days later, Anxi Jiedu envoy to the palace, Wu Yingying convened the generals to discuss the matter. "The imperial court instigated the party Xiang Cai to prepare to attack Lingzhou. Before sending troops, Cai Jifeng will definitely attack the White Feather Army first, and General Yu Fu and I have notified the White Feather Army to disperse into various battalions, fight with them, and not fight hard with the enemy. Now, it's time to teach the party a lesson. Wu Yingying held a folded silk book in his hand, which was the news that Wang Yu had transmitted through Zoroastrianism, for Wang Yu, who was determined to assist Zhao Dezhao to bring down Zhao Jiong, cut off the wings of the imperial court, the more embarrassing the situation in the future, the more Zhao Jiong could be forced to use the general.

More than ten days later, in the official office of the Xiazhou Dingyan Festival, Cai Jifeng listened to the envoy's will to report to the court with a gloomy face, and the edict of the Dingyan Army Jiedu envoy was asked to come down, but the court immediately threw out a fragrant bait, if the Dingyan army paid tribute to 5,000 horses, the imperial court would pay food and salary from Shaanxi and Hedong to help him subdue the five states of the Dingyan army, and if Lingzhou was conquered, the Lingzhou observer would be sealed. "It seems that in the battle of Youzhou, the horses of the imperial court forbidden army were badly lost," Cai Jifeng said, "but he used this plan to kill three soldiers with two peaches, and provoked me to fight with Wu Yingying." ”

"Brother, the imperial court has promised Lingzhou!" Cai Jiqian said loudly, Cai Jifeng left the Dingyan army to stay, Cai Kexian, Cai Keyuan, Cai Keshun, these uncles who occupied other states did not buy his account, Cai Jifeng named Cai Jiqian as the commander of the Dingyan army, and pulled him around, "The five states of Dingnan are barren and poor, and the imperial court has been held hostage with money and grain. In the future, as long as they plundered the Han people in the Central Plains, they could reclaim farmland and provide more than enough food. In the past, the imperial army was stationed in Lingzhou, and the Wuding army did not dare to watch, but this time the imperial court secretly ordered the Wuding army to seize Lingzhou from Wu Yingying, which was a golden opportunity. Once he occupies Lingzhou, operates for more than ten years, and uses the strength of our party's soldiers and horses to meet the source between the Liao State and the Song State, even if the eldest brother is called the emperor and the country, what is the difficulty?" Cai Jifeng was quite moved by what he said, this Cai Jiqian rarely considered it for his brother, he muttered to himself, "Lingzhou is the north control of Heshuo, the south leads Qing (Zhou), Liang (Zhou), according to the upper reaches of the road, choke the key points in the west. He added: "It's just that we have an appointment with Wu Yingying in advance, the Anxi army is not weak, and the territory of the five states is not quiet, what can we do?"

"What's so difficult about this? The elder brother only needs to use the name of the imperial court to order several uncles to jointly send troops to attack Lingzhou, if someone disobeys, just report to the imperial court, and lead the troops to remove, if a few uncles are subdued, then they will use their military horses as the forerunner to consume strength with the Anxi army. I am willing to contact the head of the eight tribes, many tribal leaders have long hated the White Feather Army, but they are afraid of the arrogance of the rebels, and now that they have the grain and grass of the imperial court, they are just recruiting warriors, and they will first get rid of the gang of rebels in the White Feather Army in the land Jin Ze, which is a big problem. Seeing Cai Jifeng's hesitation, Cai Jiqian tried his best to persuade, "Brother is nothing more than trying to use the power of Wu Yingying to deal with his uncles, and now with the will of the imperial court, if Lingzhou is captured, how powerful is Xuanhe, how dare several uncles disobey the orders of their brothers." When the time comes, the eldest brother will not only sit firmly on the Dingyan Army Festival and occupy Lingzhou, but by the way, what if he will ask the imperial court for the sealing of the Shuofang Army? At that time, the south will control Tibet, the west will be the Uighurs, and the north will be bordered by the desert. Seeing that Cai Jifeng was moved, Cai Jiqian knelt down and said, "If my brother has a heart, I am willing to follow my brother and restore the glory of my Tuoba clan in the past." He lowered his head, hiding a glimmer of cold light from his eyes.

At the same time, in the mansion of the king of Wugong County in Bianliang, Zhao Dezhao asked with a worried face: "Sir, this Wu Yingying is the hero of the world, we helped him get rid of the party item Cai, and even took away the five states of Dingyan, aren't you afraid of the legacy of raising tigers?"

"The king is also right to have this doubt," Wang Yu is wearing a Taoist uniform in order to hide his whereabouts today, and his face is still sticky with a fake beard, "It's just that the imperial court is only in the forbidden army at all, as long as the elite of the 300,000 forbidden army does not fall, it is still difficult for Wu Yingying's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to spy on the Central Plains artifact, and Wu Yingying's subordinates mostly use Hu people, and the system is also very different from that of the imperial court, and it is difficult for the people of the Central Plains to be tolerated by the people of the Central Plains. He paused for a moment, and then said: "The minister calculated carefully, if it is not expected, the king hides his edge, accumulates wings, and only waits for the time to come, regardless of Zhao Jiong, the usurping faint monarch or the foreign domain, no."

Cai Jifeng looked at the thick and towering city with a gloomy face, as the saying goes, it is better to see than to hear, in the past, Shuofang Military Administration, known as the head of the world's eight major governors, Lingzhou Xiongcheng, known as the north gate of China, saw it today, it really deserved its name, but it is a pity that this strong city is now in the hands of the Anxi army.

Under the city of Lingzhou, more than 20,000 Xiazhou troops, more than 10,000 Sui and Yinzhou troops, more than 20,000 party and eight cavalry troops, more than 20,000 Shaanxi Zhuluxiang troops and people who transport military rations, and more than 70,000 people set up camps. Partisan warriors are not cowardly, but courage is no substitute for the catapult and the bed crossbow, which are needed most to storm a city. The state army and tribal warriors with thin armor, only a few people close to the patriarch and nobles, can hide under the most rudimentary siege vehicles covered with multiple layers of cowhide, and most of them face the dense arrows and stones at the head of Lingzhou without shelter, and the Dingyan army originally wanted to rush to the city to dig the city wall, but who knew that the Lingzhou city wall has been rammed extremely strong in the past dynasties, and it has been planed for a long time, leaving only some shallow white marks, and it is impossible to dig a siege hole that can hide.

"Abba, they have good armor and are not afraid of arrows, why do they still let us die?" Ta De looked back at the iron harriers who were clustered under the shade of the Tuoba clan, and said hatefully. "Iron harriers are all nobles, born nobler than us, and must not be cranky. There are already deep wrinkles on Ciri's face, and both of their father and son are food in the Xiazhou army. "That's a lie, everything is the reward of the Immortal Heaven, the brave and courageous warriors should be on top, now those fat pigs wearing armor are against the will of the Immortal Heaven and are destined to be destroyed, the Anxi Army under the command of the Lord is the whip sent by the Immortal Heaven to whip them. Ta Chu remembered the saying that circulated in the White Feather Camp, if it weren't for the military law that hindered the father and son, he would have defected to the White Feather Army a long time ago, but unfortunately this guy was a good man who united the heads of the various departments to break up, and he had to carry a ladder to attack the lord's city, he looked at the aristocrats of the various heads of the tribes behind him, and retreated fiercely, eager to put down the ladder immediately, draw out the knife and kill it reflexively. Cyril looked at the wolf-like look in his son's eyes, and could only sigh secretly. Later, the officer of the Xiang clan of the Xiazhou Army gave another order: "You lazy bones, have you fed the dogs with all the meat you only rewarded in the morning? Cheer up and attack the city!"

I can compare it with the king. ”
