After a short break, Zhao Guangyi returned to Tokyo through the portal of Li Lianyi.

He handed over the siege of Taiyuan to Pan Mei, who thwarted several tentative attacks by Liu Jiye under the city of Taiyuan, but in the distant prefectures and counties, some people made progress.

In March, Guo Jin, the general of the Song army, defeated the Liao general Yelusha in Baimaling, and also captured the envoys of the Northern Han Dynasty who asked for help, and pulled them to Taiyuan City to cut off their heads to show the defenders.

Until April 22, the fourth year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Kingdom, Zhao Guangyi recuperated his body, cheered up, and came to the outside of Taiyuan again.

During these three months, Zhao Guangyi was in a bad mood.

There are also various discussions in the government and the opposition:

"Sure enough, you still can't beat it?"

"The official family still can't surpass Emperor Taizu."

"Taiyuan is a famous fortified city in the world, even if it can't be defeated, it's understandable."

Such a seemingly considerate discussion made Zhao Guangyi the most angry.

Zhao Guangyi already had an army of nearly 200,000, and Pan Mei set up a large number of trebuchets to attack the city walls of Taiyuan.

On April 23, Zhao Guangyi inspected the army, and everyone shouted long live, and morale was high.

On the 24th, Zhao Guangyi came to the Western Wall, organized the whole army and attacked it, but unfortunately, he did not enter it.

On the twenty-fifth day, he sent someone into the city to recruit Liu Jiyuan, and promised to write an iron coupon with Dan, but the other party left an edict, but did not agree.

On the first day of the fifth month, the southwest corner of the urn city of Yangma City fell, this is a castle exposed outside the main city, can cover each other with the main city, before the Northern Han attacked from here several times, killing and wounding many Song troops.

On the third day of the fifth month, the Northern Han Dynasty had generals such as commanders surrendering.

On the fourth day of the first month, the preparation for the water attack was completed, Zhao Guangyi surrendered again, Liu Jiyuan did not reply, and Zhao Guangyi ordered the Fen River to attack Taiyuan.

This is a last strategy, Liu Jiyuan accompanied Zhao Guangyi to play the whole game.

Water attack is an attack method with extreme superiority, and it is also the most tactically charged combat method.

There was no water in the first month, and it was delayed until the fifth month of the lunar calendar, when the rainy season came, and the water attack was used, Zhao Guangyi was actually quite embarrassed, his problem was that he couldn't fight, and he loved to command in person.

After the water flooded into the city gate, the envoy of the Northern Han finally arrived, and it was none other than the old national teacher Saqima.

"Convinced?" Zhao Guangyi smiled.

"The official family is sage." Saqima bowed deeply.

"You're a Persian?" Zhao Guangyi looked at Saqima.

"Yes."

"The Great Song Dynasty is a tolerant country, I am a tolerant lord, even if it is a Zoroastrian, you can do business freely in Bianliang."

"Thank you, official."

Zhao Guangyi didn't know the details of Saqima.

Because Zhao Tia didn't tell his father at all, he only said that Saqima was a national teacher, and of course Li Lianqiao would not be looking for trouble, saying that Saqima was Zhao Tia's grandfather.

"Xu Jin's family, are they still in the city?" Zhao Guangyi asked Saqima.

"If you go back to the official's house, they left privately in the first month, and we don't know where they went from the north gate." Saqima said.

"I want to cure your sin, how can I let him escape? He's a prisoner! Zhao Guangyi said.

Saqima was neither humble nor arrogant: "When they left Taiyuan, we didn't know that they were Qin criminals. ”

That's right, you haven't even surrounded Taiyuan City at that time, who can blame you?

Zhao Guangyi wanted to have a seizure, but when he saw the old man's deep eyes and the face like the bark of the old tree, he put his hand down again.

After all, although the city of Taiyuan was flooded, it was necessary to fight in the streets of the city, and there were still many losses.

"Let Liu Jiyuan come out and surrender tomorrow, you have been guaranteed by me."

Zhao Guangyi asked Wang Jien to take the edict and personally stamped it with a jade seal.

"Thank you for the soldiers and civilians of the city."

"No, now you are all my people, the people of the Great Song Dynasty."

On the sixth day of the fifth month, Liu Jiyuan walked out of the city gate with a hemp rope tied to his body, followed by Saqima and Liu Jiye.

In the cheers of the three armies, Zhao Guangyi tore off Liu Jiyuan's rope and named him the right general and the prince of Pengcheng County.

This was the last regime of the "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms", and the years of military secession finally came to an end.

Zhao Guangyi led the soldiers into the city, but the south gate had been flooded once, and it was all muddy, so he had to use firewood and grass to pad the road and walk into the city, and the people were very surprised to see the emperor's legs muddy.

Zhao Guangyi entered the palace of the Northern Han Dynasty and arranged for someone to receive the remnants of the Northern Han Dynasty and grain and grass, and his intestines were repentant.

The Northern Han Dynasty, from the official treasury to the private treasury, had no money.

Liu Jiyuan is a real poor ghost.

"Don't hide it from me." Zhao Guangyi looked at Liu Jiyuan.

"I really don't dare to hide it from the officials, we have little land and little food, and we only have 40 ......yuan per month," Liu Jiyuan looked frustrated.

"Why did I make him a general and a county duke! Isn't it all money! Zhao Guangyi was more depressed than him.

Zhao Guangyi claimed to be orthodox in the Central Plains, and he could not indulge the officials and troops to directly plunder Taiyuan City, which was politically unjustifiable.

He suddenly remembered Xu Yongzhi.

Xu Jin persuaded him, saying that Liu Jiyuan and Taiyuan City had no money, and if too many troops and men were mobilized, there might be a lack of reward money this time, and there would be a shortage of grain and grass.

However, he has mobilized an army of 200,000 and has been fighting for four months, and now the grain and grass in Hebei and Shanxi have bottomed out, and there is no money and grain in Taiyuan City to make up for this shortfall.

In this case, you should hurry back with the army, arrange for the fierce generals to guard the main road, and wait for the past three or five years, when the warehouse is full, and then come to the battle, but Zhao Guangyi can't open this mouth in front of the generals anyway.

He sat in the court of the Northern Han Dynasty with a snort, but he couldn't directly open his mouth and scold Liu Jiyuan for being a poor ghost.

Since he boasted about Haikou and said that he wanted to attack the sixteen states of Yanyun, he must fight.

He counted the details in his heart.

Zhao Guangyi, if he is a good accountant today, he will inevitably use some means in order to make this account.

"Zhong Aiqing."

The civil and military knelt down one after another.

"There is an old saying, it is called the Huns are not destroyed, why should they be at home."

As soon as these words came out, Pan Mei felt that something was wrong, but how well-behaved he was, he didn't speak.

Cao Bin was next to him and understood that something was wrong.

"My plan is to conquer the sixteen states of Yanyun in July, and you can enjoy the cool under Youzhou City in August." Zhao Guangyi said.

You see, such a bad joke, some people will laugh.

"Slow!" Zhao Guangyi roared angrily.

Everyone quickly knelt down.

"Taiyuan City, I actually fought for four months, everyone, four months! And what about Youzhou? ”

Cao Bin felt that the style of painting was wrong.

"I have already decided, I will not reward the three armies first, but directly wave my army to the north, and when I arrive in Youzhou, I will reward everyone!"

It's a bastard.

The famous generals in ancient times were not rewarded and punished, you are the son of heaven, it is best to carry gold with you, and you will directly give a piece when you encounter soldiers who fight hard.

How can this money be tied up? Can people who are in arrears of wages work effectively?

Regarding the reward, there are indeed different controversies, for example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to reward Huo Qubing with a house, and he said, "The Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home." ”

This is to push away his own reward, but Huo Qubing poured the imperial wine rewarded by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty into the spring water, so that everyone could share the emperor's reward, and later the place name "Jiuquan" was born.

After Liu Bei invaded Chengdu, he also rewarded the ministers, when Zhao Yun came out to stop him, saying that the Han thieves had not yet crusaded, and they should not divide the house and land for everyone, Liu Bei praised Zhao Yun, and then rejected his proposal.

Because everyone has been with Liu Bei for so many years, in fact, what they are waiting for is this day, if you don't give everyone dividends, everyone can't stand it. Because of this proposal, Zhao Yun became the most popular person in Shu Han.

"Official!" Cao Bin's kind person, he couldn't help but speak.

"Next, announce the marching array!" Zhao Guangyi directly avoided Cao Bin's opinion.

The people below all secretly cursed the street.

In the past few months, not to mention the dead and injured, there are many sick people, and in all places where people gather, there will be various diseases, and feces are the best source of infection.

Now that there is no reward, it is really unreasonable to go from Taiyuan to the front line of northern Shanxi and Hebei.

There are also people who have been talking to the emperor, such as Cui Han, this person is also a veteran, Chen Qiao's Conglong Zhichen also beat Li Yun in Luzhou, this person's characteristic is recklessness.

According to the records of the Song Dynasty, this old Cui said a bunch of words:

"The one who takes the ride is also powerful; Those who cannot be lost are also timely. Taking advantage of this momentum is very easy to take. ”

In short, it is a miracle to make a big effort, and if you are reckless together, maybe the sixteen states of Yanyun will be in hand.

This is what Zhao Guangyi wants to hear!

"Cui Zhongwen's statement is very good!" Zhao Guangyi said, "Where is Liu Jiye? ”

"Minister, here." Liu Jiye was uneasy, after all, he had killed so many Song soldiers.

"You have been in the border area for a long time, and now you want to serve the Great Song Dynasty, and you will be crowned the general of the right army to lead the army of Zhengzhou, and be the vanguard of our army."

"Thank you." Liu Jiye's heart was put down.

"By the way, you changed your name. Restore your original surname Yang, and call Yang Ye. Zhao Guangyi commanded.

"Yes."

Zhao Guangyi dispersed the military discussion, and hurriedly urged Bianliang to stay behind Zhao Guangmei, Zhao Pu, and Zhang Xun, and hurriedly let the local superintendent transport of grain and grass.

Camp today!

"Renmei, don't you persuade you?" Cao Bin waited until the end of the military discussion, and quickly grabbed Pan Mei and asked.

"Guohua, what's wrong with you? Xu Jin didn't persuade him? There is no money in Taiyuan Mansion, and neither does Liu Jiyuan, and the official family doesn't know? ”

"The official family didn't believe that this city was so poor before...... Cao Bin was also ready to defend Zhao Guangyi.

"The official family thinks that Xu Jin deceived him, but you know, Lord Xu, every time he tells the truth, the word military intelligence, there is no one more reliable than him." Pan Mei said.

Pan Mei understands that he slandered Xu Yongzhi, but knows who is reliable.

"In this state now, you will lose the battle when you go out!" Cao Bin said.

"Maybe, but maybe not," Pan Mei said, "and we don't expect it." ”

"You're flattering!" Cao Bin said angrily.

"You, the first day you knew me?" Pan Mei looked at Cao Bin coldly.
