At the gate tower of Wansheng Gate in Bianliang City, a group of people stood on the head of the city around three people, looking out at the mighty Tang Army.

The middle-aged man in the middle of the leader, wearing a golden dragon heraldic armor, is none other than Wei Siqi, the new emperor of the Yu Kingdom. To his left is the newly established governor of Yuguo, the Chinese and foreign military, and the front division of the palace to check Wei Hua. On his right hand is the newly established Tongzhong Shumen under the Ping Zhangshi and the general leader Zhang Liang of the Yu State.

Wei Siqi looked at the Tang army camp outside Bianliang City with a pale face, and said angrily, "Lord General Political Officer, this is what you said that the Tang State is willing to negotiate peace?"

Zhang Liang's face was also ugly, he really didn't know what to say to Wei Siqi, he finally understood the reply letter written by Wang Wei to him, the sentence "You don't have to worry about it." What does that mean. The joy of supporting Wei Siqi to seize the throne at the beginning was like the leaves on the branches of the tree, blown away by the cold winter wind.

Wei Hua's face was also not good-looking, and his mood was even more heavy. In the court of the Yu State, including the new emperor Wei Sinian and the crown prince Wei Li, the entire court of the Yu State believed that the offensive of the Tang State was over.

After all, it is much more difficult to fight a war in the winter than in the fall. In winter operations, the primary consideration is logistics. Transportation is the top priority in logistics, and in the ice and snow, the transportation cost is extremely high, and the casualties of the people recruited are even more incalculable. Then there is the warmth of the soldiers, it is not enough to build a bonfire in the camp and light a coal stove in the camp tent, but also to ensure that the soldiers have warm clothes and robes to support them to fight in the ice and snow.

This is what the monarchs and ministers of the Yu State can't figure out, they don't understand, how the Tang army can withstand such bad weather in winter, are they really not afraid that because of excessive casualties, the whole army will collapse and the war will be lost?

Of course, the monarchs and ministers of the Yu State couldn't figure it out, needless to say, firewood had long been eliminated by the Tang Army as the main force for heating, and now the Tang Army used fired honeycomb stone to heat up. This type of stone is easy to ignite, burns well, and ensures the safety of soldiers as long as ventilation is ensured.

At the same time, because cotton planting has been widely promoted, as well as the wool produced by breeding wool sheep, Tang Jun has no shortage of raw materials to make warm robes.

Whether it is cotton clothes, cotton robes, or cotton armor, they are all necessary for Tang soldiers to prepare. Of course, the demand for warm robes and armor in the land of Bashu is relatively small.

Just when Wei Siqi and other Yuguo civil and military forces were standing on the city wall at a loss, Wei Hua saw movement on the Tang Army's trebuchet position, and soon a black object flew in the air.

Wei Hua hurriedly snatched the shield of the guards on the side and put it on top of Wei Siqi's head, and shouted at the same time, "Enemy attack! Escort!"

The guards next to him raised their shields one after another, only to hear a "bang", and the black object smashed on one of the shields, making a muffled sound, and then rolled down at the feet of a civil official of the Yu Kingdom. The man looked over curiously, and when he saw Ling Huyi's pale face, he was paralyzed with fright.

"Ah! ——」

The terrible screams startled the people in the city, and they all looked over. Wei Hua walked over first, stared at the human head on the ground, and instructed the guard beside him, "Put the human head away!"

Wei Hua turned around and returned to Wei Siqi, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, what the Tang Army threw over is the head of Ling Huyi, the chief general of the Jing State reinforcements."

When Wei Siqi heard this, he gritted his teeth and said, "It was he who caused my Dayu to lose Henan County. What does the puppet Tang emperor mean? Throwing the thief's head into the city? Is he mocking me?"

The surrounding officials of the Yu State were silent, and no one dared to touch the anger of an emperor, not even officials in high positions like Zhang Liang and Wei Hua.

The situation outside Bianliang City and on the head of the city did not have much impact on Bianliang City. The people in Bianliang City are very confident in Bianliang City, and the current situation is different from when the Qin general Wang Ben led the Qin army to attack the Wei capital Daliang.

Bianliang City is far away from the big river, and it is winter, so it is impossible to flood the city again. The Bianliang city wall is as high as five zhang, two zhang thick, and there is also a hidden fortress in the city wall, which can shoot arrows outward.

Although the moat outside the city was wide and deep, it was already frozen at this time, and it was only necessary to wait for a while before people could run on it

After waiting for a while, the ladders and buildings will be able to go up to the ice and directly to the city wall.

On the first day Wang Rong arrived at the Tang army camp outside Bianliang, he did not start a war. This made the people in Bianliang City full of confidence that their army could hold the city.

As the night darkens, the lights come on, and the two layers of street lamps on both sides of the street emit an intoxicating glow.

A group of more than a dozen horsemen went straight to Yulin Lane, Fang Zheng was just about to stop, the knight headed by the right hand tossed lightly, and a yellow and clear copper collar fell at the feet of Fang Zheng.

"Don't look it up!"

"Yes, yes...... Forgive the villain's clumsy ......."

Fang Zheng was busy apologizing, but the group of knights had already rushed more than a hundred steps.

The one who broke through the door was Leng Shao, the commander of the left wing of the Crane Army, who lived in Yulin Lane.

Leng Shao went straight to Lengfu and entered the main hall to find his father Leng Hongxi. Not long after, there was a sound of smashing utensils and scolding in the study.

A servant wanted to see what was going on, but before he could enter the ear door, he was stopped by a general in armor......

"Rebel! The old man's name is ruined by your hands......

Leng Shao knelt straight on the ground, a few inkstones fell under his knees, and blood was dripping on his forehead, but he didn't wipe it.

A few hours ago, Leng Shao's maternal uncle found him and identified himself - the head of the Tang State's Detective Department and a secret agent of the foreign commission. To put it simply, it is: "Your uncle and I are a daughter of the Tang Kingdom."

Leng Shao, as the commander of the left wing of the Crane Army in front of the palace, naturally has good ability, and his vision is also very high, and after careful consideration, he decided to discuss it with his old father. After all, Leng Shao's father, Leng Hongxi, had only retired from the front division of the palace not long ago, and he was much more influential than him, the commander of the left wing of the Crane Control Army.

It's just that Leng Shao didn't expect that he had just said something briefly, and Leng Hongxi's reaction was so strong.

"It's a pity that my father has a clear name?"

He slowly raised his head, his eyes were as bright as lights, he looked directly at Leng Hongxi, and said, "If it is a clear name, why didn't Taizu be loyal to the Qin Dynasty and surrender to Western Chu?

If it is a clear name, the Heavenly Ancestor should rest with Western Chu, and should not demote the Wei family...... If it is a clear name, the great-ancestor should keep the festival for Yuzhong Sect, instead of switching to Taizong......

The child did not come here to blackmail his father, but he was flustered and difficult to decide. Now that the father has made up his mind, the son knows what to do......

After that, he "knocked and knocked" three heads, and blood was all over the ground.

Seeing Leng Shao get up suddenly, Leng Hongxi was shocked: "What do you want?"

"Naturally, I will be filial to my father and loyal to Dayu......

Leng Shao's face was full of gloom, "My son will go to kill his relatives in righteousness, cut off his uncle's head, and then send it to the palace to show the capital, to Your Majesty, and even to the people of the world that my Leng clan is definitely not a chaotic minister and thief......

"You...... You...... You ......."

Leng Hongxi trembled all over, but he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Leng Shao continued: "Presumably my father can also expect that after the city is broken, the Tang army will slaughter all my Leng family, and there will be no chickens and dogs, but it doesn't matter, at least my father's name will be cleared......

"Rebel...... Rebel ......"

Leng Hongxi picked up the pen holder again, but when he met Leng Shaoxin's death-like eyes, he couldn't do anything.

He sighed suddenly, and the old tears flowed: "It's really here...... So far?"

Leng Shao snorted coldly: "The Tang army has already arrived outside Bianliang City, and with just one order, those hundreds of thousands of troops can be pushed to the city...... What does my father think?"

Leng Hongxi shook his head and said, "Your uncle's words...... Not credible ......"

Leng Shao nodded and said, "Yes, I also know that my uncle is a little alarmist. But at a glance, I know that the whole leopard, even my uncle can quietly become a Tang Army girl, running around the city, and is not afraid of revealing his identity to convince the child, let alone others? Regardless of the rest, at least the child knows that the right wing of the Crane Army, Yu Hou Huangfu Fang, has already voted for the Tang Army?"

Leng Hongxi's eyes froze, and he asked coldly, "What did your uncle say?"

"No, I found it...... This morning,

The city gate was opened, and a team of soldiers entered the inner city from the east side of the city with the seal of the Crane Military Mansion, and the maternal uncle hid in it. And the guard of Wangchun Gate at that time was Huangfu Fang's nephew, Zou Yong......

Leng Hongxi was shocked when he heard this: Zou Yong, isn't that the son of Zou Yanzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?

And Huangfu fir has always been in the same breath as Zou Yanzhi, doesn't it mean that Zou Yanzhi is also the opposite......

Leng Hongxi laughed wildly and said, "Haha...... In vain, Zou Yanzhi praised himself as a high ......."

"Zou Yanzhi is a subordinate, so it's not surprising that it's the opposite!" Leng Shao laughed coldly, "Otherwise, how could Zou Jie, the county guard of Dangjun, say the opposite, and make a lot of contributions to Tang Guoguo?"

Now, the East County is lost, and the Yingchuan County Guard is in the posture of a Chinese man, commanding the Yu army of Yingchuan County to resist the Tang army. As a result, the whole army was annihilated, and the civil and military officials of Yingchuan County were wiped out by the Tang army. Seeing that the situation was not right, Chen Jun and Dangjun surrendered to the Tang army one after another. The two divisions of the Yongzhou Army rushed to the two counties respectively to receive them.

Zou was valued by Wei Sinian for his high talent, and was promoted all the way to the county guard of Dangjun, holding the military and political power of Dangjun. Originally, the next step was to serve in the Bianliang Imperial Court, but he didn't expect Wei Sinian to be killed by a few Xiaoxiao.

Wei Siqi, who had just ascended the throne, also loved talents, and did not have the idea of moving Zou Jie. But Zhang Liang disagreed, he first stripped the military power of Dangjun in the hands of Zou Xuan, and then set up the Imperial History Observatory and sent an inspector to keep an eye on Dangjun. Unable to bear it, Zou Yan directly took Dangjun to surrender to the Tang Kingdom.

However, Zou Yan is only a subordinate, and he has long been separated from the two places, so Zou Yanzhi was not implicated.

But when I think about it at this time, I'm afraid that the uncle and nephew have already secretly understood the song......

Leng Shao still tried hard to persuade his father: "Whether to surrender or fight, please make a decision as soon as possible......

Leng Hongxi closed his eyes in pain: "Your uncle can sneak into the city unharmed, now, how can he fight?"

"The child knows...... Leng Shao put a palm-sized bronze medal on the table, and kowtowed three times with a "knock knock", "Tonight must be extremely dangerous, and please father put the family first, don't have the idea of suicide......

With that, he got up and walked out of the study without stopping.

Leng Hongxi was stunned for a while before picking up the token.

Indeed, as Leng Shao expected: Leng Hongxi was lonely and poor when he was young, if it weren't for Wei Sinian's insight, where would he be today? It is because he has long had the ambition to repay the country with death. :

But after Leng Shao's reminder, he was shocked to realize that there would be chaos in Beijing tonight, if there was no one in the mansion to preside over the overall situation, who could save the lives of the Leng family's hundred and ten people?

Unfilial son......

He scolded secretly, gritted his teeth again, and commanded: "Leng Guo, inform the whole of the mansion, women and children, the old and weak withdraw into the dark room as soon as possible, and everyone is prepared with knives and bows...... But when he heard the turmoil, he hung this order outside the gate of the house......
