"Don't don't, I can't help it, I just eat this bowl of rice, if I don't obey the order, the emperor will put me in prison in an instant!" Yao Guangyuan screamed in fright.

Zhao Junsheng's tone was calm: "So, your end is already doomed, even if I don't kill you, the emperor will kill you when a certain time comes, who let you know too many secrets?" How can you be at ease if you don't die? ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Junsheng flicked his fingers, and an embroidery needle shot out and drilled into Yao Guangyuan's nostrils, Yao Guangyuan's body seemed to be frozen, his eyes were straight, and his body was shaky.

Zhao Junsheng walked over and grabbed him, lifted his arm on his shoulder and walked out of the camp.

After walking in the camp for a while, he encountered a patrol, Zhao Junsheng scolded as he walked: "I told you not to drink so much and want to drink, do you know that this is harmful?" If you get drunk in the future, I'll leave you outside to feed the mosquitoes! ”

When the leader of the patrol heard this, he ignored it and walked away with the patrol.

Zhao Junsheng took Yao Guangyuan's body to the edge of the trench dug by the people outside the southern city wall, and Guo Yi and two of his men were waiting with shovels.

"General, what are you?" Guo Yi asked in surprise.

Zhao Junsheng threw the body on the ground, "Don't talk nonsense, dig a pit on the mound and bury him in it, tomorrow the people will work on it and continue to pile up soil, and no one will know that there is a person buried here."

Guo Yi felt a chill in his heart, but he waved his hand to the two subordinates: "Hurry up and work, don't be seen!" ”

Yao Guangyuan died silently, Zhao Junsheng didn't know how many people he sent to White Wolf City to investigate, although killing Yao Guangyuan couldn't stop those who had been sent out to investigate, but at least they couldn't tell the results of the investigation to the sky, they were just small minions, and they were the fine work of the Egret Division, and there were regulations for connecting with the boss, maybe only Yao Guangyuan alone knew their identity, as soon as Yao Guangyuan died, they broke off contact with the Egret Division, like a kite with a broken string.

Even if the emperor knew that Yao Guangyuan was dead, and wanted to send someone to take control of the Egret Division again, it would take time for the new officials to take office, and now that he was out of the house, it was not possible to reconnect with these broken kites and control them in a short period of time.

And during this time, it was enough for Zhao Junsheng to send someone to find out and dispose of those investigators.

For two days in a row, tens of thousands of people who were forcibly recruited by the Wei army dug trenches and piled up earth dams on the periphery of Longcheng, seeing that the earth dam was getting higher and higher day by day, Feng Hong, the king of Yan State in the city, and the ministers and generals couldn't sit still.

On September 15, Feng Hong convened the ministers and generals to discuss countermeasures, and he was in a hurry, and he couldn't help but be in a hurry.

Feng Hong knelt behind the imperial case and looked at the ministers and said: "Zhuqing, the Wei army asked the captured people to dig a ditch and build an earthen dam outside the city, and this earthen dam is piled higher and higher, it is estimated that it will be higher than the city wall in a few days, and then they will be able to stand on it and shoot arrows!" Besides, they're trying to trap us alive in the city! Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do now? ”

As soon as the words fell, the ministers and generals all started talking.

At this time, Shizhong, General Fujun, and the Prince of Yingchuan stood up and hugged his fists and said: "Heavenly King, the earth dam is a few hundred steps away from the city wall, and the Wei army is mostly cavalry, and they all use riding bows, even if they pile up high, the bow and arrow can't shoot up the city wall, although the Heavenly King can rest assured!" ”

"In addition, the food stored in our city is enough for us to eat for two years, could it be that Tuoba Jian'er can still besiege my Dragon City for two years?"

"Besides, hasn't the Heavenly King already sent someone to go south by boat to the Southern Dynasty to ask for help? The Southern Dynasties will definitely not sit idly by and watch our Yan State be destroyed by the Wei State, as long as we keep persevering, the Wei army will definitely retreat! After speaking, Wang Nan retreated to his original position.

A minister stood up and said loudly, "General Wang is too optimistic, isn't he?" ”

Feng Hong and the ministers looked at it, and it turned out that this person was Shangshu Gao Hao.

I saw Gao Hao say: "Qiqi Heavenly King, as the saying goes, there is no city in the world that cannot be attacked, with the number of defenders and civilians in the city and the amount of grain and grass stored, we can indeed support it for two years, but can it really support two years?" At this moment, maybe there are already people who are thinking of secretly defecting to the Wei State, wanting to sell their masters for glory, and no matter how strong the fortress is, if it is internally unstable, it will be self-defeating! ”

"Besides, if the Wei State sends a high-skilled meticulous work to sneak into the city and wreak havoc, incite people's hearts or burn our grain and grass, can we still support it for two years?"

"Now that Pingzhou, Jiyang, Jiande and other places have been pulled out by the Wei army, I am afraid that the Wei army will continue to attack Daifang, Yingqiu, Chengzhou, Liaodong, Lelang and other counties, and we will hardly get any reinforcements!"

"As for the Southern Dynasty, please forgive Weichen for telling the truth, it is better to ask for others than for yourself, if you put hope on the Southern Dynasty, we don't know how to die in the end!"

"Therefore, Wei Chen suggested that while the Wei army had not yet begun to attack the city, he immediately sent people out of the city to ask the Wei lord for his guilt and ask for a vassal status!"

As soon as this man's voice fell, another minister stood up and shouted: "It's a fart!" ”

When the ministers looked at it, they saw that it was General Zhendong, General Lingyouwei, Shang Shuling, and Chen Liugong Guo Sheng, Feng Hong asked, "What advice does the Guo Qing family have?" ”

Guo Sheng clasped his fists at Feng Hong and said: "Heavenly King, we have already called the Southern Dynasty a vassal, and now if we call the Wei State a vassal again, it will be okay for the Wei State to accept it, if we don't accept it, my Yan State not only failed to resolve the crisis, but offended the Southern Dynasty!" ”

Shangshu Gao Shao stood up and said: "Heavenly King, Weichen thinks that what Guo Shangshuling said is very true, we can't snake and mouse at both ends!" Not to mention that the Wei army should not be allowed to pile up the earthen dam, and while they have not yet completed this project, our army should immediately send troops to sabotage their plans! Otherwise, we will be trapped alive in the city! ”

Feng Hong frowned and said, "Is it certain that you will win the war by sending troops?" ”

Gao Shao said: "Heavenly King, as far as Wei Chen knows, the Wei army now has only about 40,000 horses, which is not much different from our strength, we can send 20,000 troops, and suddenly kill them while they are unprepared!" Even if we fail, we still have 20,000 horses to defend the city, and they want to use 40,000 horses to break through our Dragon City, which is a fool's dream! ”

Liu Xun, a free-rider, stood up and said loudly: "Nonsense! The Wei army has 40,000 horses, how can our army win if it only sends 20,000 horses? ”

Gao Shao scolded: "Liu Xun, you bastard, you don't understand anything, what are you talking about?" It is true that the Wei army has 40,000 horses, but they have surrounded the southeast, northwest, and northwest directions, so they don't need to deploy troops? The maximum number of mobile forces they can free up is 20,000, and we have at least a 50% chance of winning with 20,000 people! Now it is on our territory again, and the soldiers are full of fighting spirit and high morale, and the chances of winning have increased by two percent! ”

Liu Xun was not convinced, "According to what you say, why don't you send out all 40,000 horses, wouldn't there be a 100% chance of winning?" ”

Gao Shao scolded angrily: "You are a pig, who can guarantee that you can be 100% sure of the war?" I'm afraid that Sun Wu's resurrection won't dare to play this guarantee, right? Seventy percent is enough, if you press all the chips up, you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, once you are defeated, the Dragon City will be completely finished, how is the king of heaven and the minister of the Manchu Dynasty good? Wouldn't you let the fish and meat of the Wei State be left to it? ”

Liu Xun was scolded and retreated, he didn't dare to say anything, and the others couldn't put forward any objections, Feng Hong felt that Gao Shao's suggestion was very feasible, and it was much better than being beaten passively.

Feng Hong asked, "If you send 20,000 people to fight, which general is willing to lead the troops?" ”

Guo Sheng is already the oldest and highest-ranking military general in Yan State other than Zhang Xing, but Zhang Xing has been captured by the Wei army, so he is a well-deserved first person in the ranks of military generals!

He just wanted to stand up, but Gao Shao said first: "Heavenly King, this suggestion is advocated by Weichen, and Weichen asks for orders to lead troops to battle!" ”

Although Feng Hong was brutal, he was not a little white who didn't know anything, and his brain was not broken, he asked, "I don't know which city gate Gao Qing plans to fight from?" ”

Gao Shao replied: "Wechen plans to launch a surprise attack on the palace of the Emperor of Wei from the east gate, and the reason why Tuoba Jian built the palace in the east is nothing more than to cut off our connection with the counties in Liaodong, he thinks that we dare not attack his palace head-on, and Wechen wants to do the opposite and kill him by surprise!" ”

After hearing this, Feng Hong felt that this idea was quite feasible, thought about it for a while, and agreed: "Okay, the widow will give you 20,000 horses, and you will lead the army to launch a surprise attack on the Wei army, and it is best for the widow to capture the emperor of Wei!" ”

"Weichen must live up to the trust of the king!"

That night, an arrow was shot from the eastern wall of Dragon City, and the arrow was stuck diagonally in the ground, and a secret letter was worn on the shaft of the arrow, and soon someone came and took the arrow.

It didn't take long for the arrows and secret letters to be sent to Tuoba Jian's royal case.

Tuoba Jian took the secret letter and unfolded it to look at it, and a sneer appeared on his face after reading it.

At dawn the next day, the east gate of Longcheng was quietly opened, the drawbridge was slowly lowered, Gao Shao rushed out with a spear in his hand, and behind him was a long line of Yan cavalry, full of 20,000 horses.

Outside the four city walls, only the east city wall has not been excavated outside the moat, Tuoba Jian plans to use this city wall as the main attack, which is one of the reasons why Gao Shao wants to kill from outside this city wall.

Waiting for all the 20,000 horses to rush out of the city, the city gate slowly closed again, the drawbridge was pulled up, and Gao Shao and the 20,000 horses behind him all the way forward without encountering any obstacles.

Gao Shao thought that this was normal, after all, it was dawn, and the Wei generals were asleep.

But he soon realized that he was wrong, a group of soldiers and horses appeared in front of him, and he had already lined up for a long time, but after Gao Shao's Yan army and horses appeared, this Wei cavalry immediately began to attack and meet them.

"It's just in time, kill me—" Gao Shao shouted with his spear and led the team to rush over.

At this moment, a large number of shouts of killing suddenly came from the northern flank of the Yan army, and the Yan generals turned their heads to look, only to see that another Wei cavalry in the north was killing them.

Not good, enemy on both sides! The Yan generals were in a panic, and before Gao Shao could react, the frontal Wei army had already rushed over, and then the Wei army on the northern flank also rushed over, and the Yan generals were in a panic and fled south.
