When Yelu Hongji heard this, he clapped his hands and shouted: "Good plan, just do it! Come on, take paper, pen, ink, and inkstone!"

The attendant immediately sent the four treasures of the Shangwen room, and Yelu Hongji immediately drafted a letter of persuasion, and then sent it to the capital with great fanfare.

At the same time, the undefeated East properly dispatched 180,000 cavalry and surrounded the capital of the Great Liao.

Liaoshangjing is the capital city established at the beginning of the Khitan state, and it is also the first capital city in the Mobei region.

In history, Shangjing is the place where Liao Taizu started his business, bearing the mountains and hugging the sea, the natural danger is enough to be solid, and the water and grass are livestock.

In 916 A.D., Yelu Abaoji called the emperor Jianliao in Longhua Prefecture, and in 918 years, the Ministry of Rites and Rites Shangshu Kang Moji served as the plate to build the capital, and it began to take shape in only 100 days, and the name was called the imperial capital.

After the death of Liao Taizu, Taizong ascended the throne and continued to build the imperial capital. In 938, Taizong changed the imperial capital to Shangjing and set up Linhuang Mansion.

Shangjing Linhuangfu City is vast, the momentum is magnificent, it is divided into two cities, the north is called the Imperial City, the circumference is ten miles, the south is called Hancheng, the circumference is seventeen miles, the two cities are connected to the shape of the word "day", the circumference is about twenty-three miles in total, and the city walls are all rammed earth plates.

The imperial city is in the north, hexagonal in shape, and consists of an outer city and an inner city. The wall is three feet high. There are towers, four city gates are opened, and horse faces are built on the city wall. Outside the city gate there is an urn city.

Ouchi is located in the middle of the Imperial City, and in the north of its center, there are felt hall-shaped base sites and official office base sites with a circle in front and back.

The northern part of the imperial city is an open and flat area, which is presumed to be a felt tent area.

The southeast of the city is the government office, the government, the temple and the workshop area. Seoul is in the south of the imperial city, slightly square, the wall is two zhang high, there is no enemy tower, and its north wall is the south wall of the imperial city. The city was inhabited by the Han, Bohai, Uighur and other ethnic groups and plundered artisans. There are seven gates in total, and the walls are low.

Liaoshangjing retained many nomadic customs and paid great attention to defense. There are complete urban defense facilities, with typical Khitan characteristics.

The Khitan rulers lived in the imperial city, and the Han people lived in Hancheng, which was the Liao State's "rule of the Khitan with the state system." treat the Han people with the Han system".

Since the imperial city is taller and stronger than Seoul. Naturally, it became a place for Yelu Chongyuan to gather heavy troops to defend.

Although Yelu Hongji and Dongfang Undefeated led their army from the north to the south, in order to avoid the real situation, they ordered most of the horses to bypass the city wall and set up camp in the south of the city.

In the letter of persuasion written by Yelu Hongji, the city gate was opened within three days of Yelu Chongyuan, otherwise the army would attack the city.

The south gate of Seoul is tentatively set as the main direction of attack, and the other three sides are feints.

Three days later, dusk came. The city was silent, and the soldiers on the city walls were waiting for them. There was no sign of surrender, and the sound of "rumbling" outside the city was endless, and it turned out that Xiao Feng and the king of the North Courtyard were escorting siege equipment.

More than 200,000 soldiers and soldiers gathered around the carts transporting all kinds of "stone throwing machines", "ladders to the city", and "crash cars", stretching for dozens of miles, winding to the ground.

Xiao Feng took the lead, a tiger tooth broadsword in his hand flashed white light in the smoke and dust of dusk, and walked with the guide, and after a short time, he led his troops into the gate of the imperial camp.

As soon as he entered the Yelu Hongji tent, Xiao Feng saw him sitting upright in the north, brushing his beard with his hands, frowning, I don't know what he was bowing his head and pondering, he hurriedly took two steps forward, knelt down to worship, and reported: "Qiqi Shengshang, Xiaofeng has led his headquarters to come to reinforcements with siege equipment. ”

Yelu Hongji heard the sound, looked up, saw Xiao Feng, his face was happy, and said with a smile: "Haha, second brother, eldest brother, I am looking forward to the stars and the moon, and I finally brought you here." You and I don't need to be commensurate with kings and ministers, we just need to do the gift of brothers. Get up quickly! Someone is coming, take a seat for King Xiao!"

"Yes!" The two attendants carried a tiger skin chair, came out in response, and placed it at the west head, and after Xiao Feng thanked him, he stood up and walked over and sat down.

After sitting still, Xiao Feng asked Yelu Hongji: "Big brother, you and the Dongfang brothers came three days in advance, so you must know more about the situation in this place. Next, about the siege of the city, I don't know what the big brother has planned?"

Yelu Hongji shook his head and said: "I'm worried about this matter! Before my third brother and I arrived, Yelu Chongyuan had already sent tens of thousands of elite soldiers to occupy the west of the city and Chong Chilonggang. ”

"As soon as our army launches an attack on Shangjing, the bandit army entrenched on the post will attack our army from behind, and if our army divides its troops to attack the camp on Chilonggang, the defenders in Shangjing will take the opportunity to launch an attack on our position. It's hard to guard against, it's hard to deal with!"

"Things on the battlefield have always changed rapidly, maybe my uncle's arrangement can turn things around, turn defense into offense, and turn defeat into victory. Moreover, I gave an ultimatum to the rebels defending the city, saying that if the city is not opened and surrendered within three days, our army will attack the city. ”

"Today is the third day, but if the nail of Chilonggang is not removed, how will our army be able to attack Shangjing tomorrow? Even if we attack rashly, I don't know how big the casualties of the soldiers on both sides will be. It is said that you have no jokes, but in this current situation, alas, I have to break my promise!"

After hearing this, Xiao Feng also raised a trace of worry, and thought to himself: "Regardless of the rebels and our army, they are all good men of the Khitan, but judging from the current situation, our siblings will inevitably have a bloody fight, alas!"

Looking around, he suddenly remembered something, and then asked: "By the way, eldest brother, what about the Dongfang brothers? He must have a way to help eldest brother capture Shangjing at the smallest cost, and return my great Liao Taiping." ”

Yelu Hongji nodded and responded: "Well, the second brother is right, and now I can only pin my hopes on him." Just after noon today, the third brother led a team of light horsemen out to investigate the enemy's situation, and he has not returned yet, and the eldest brother is also waiting for him. ”

Before the words fell, he listened to the guards guarding outside and said, "Your Majesty, the Marshal of the East asks to see you." ”

When Yelu Hongji heard this, he smiled, turned his head and said to Xiao Feng: "Hehe, this is really 'Cao Cao Cao will arrive'!" and then faced the camp gate, and responded: "Xuan!"

As soon as the words stopped, the curtain of the tent was suddenly raised, and a person floated in.

Xiao Feng took a closer look, and saw that the person who came was dressed in the clothes of an ordinary herdsman, rich as jade but dusty, it was his good "brother", the East was undefeated.

"Wechen knocks to see Your Majesty!" As soon as Dongfang was undefeated and entered the big tent, he bowed down to Yelu Hongji.

"Brother Dongfang, you and I are commensurate with each other, and there is no need to do this great courtesy. Yelu Hongji raised his hand and said.

"Yes, big brother!" Dongfang Undefeated finished speaking, just got up, looked up, and said with joy: "Ouch, Brother Xiao, you are finally here, this is really good! Originally, I was still worried that my little brother was alone, and it was difficult to sing alone! Now that you are here, with the strength of the two of us, we will definitely be able to sing this play!" (To be continued......
