At night, everything is quiet. A bonfire was lit under Caiyang City, which was prepared by the Liangzhou soldiers to prevent the defenders of Jingzhou from attacking the city at night. Hundreds of bonfires are lit, and it only takes two nights to ride around the city and add firewood in time, so that the outside of Caiyang City can be illuminated as bright as day, and it can be seen in the eyes of the night soldiers on duty in the camp and the sentry tower.

The camp belonged to the Yan Sizhou army, although Zhang Xiu's subordinates rode in Liangzhou for several years in Guanzhong, they still did not develop the habit of camping at night, and Jiang Jin, who couldn't sleep at night, smacked his tongue again and again.

"Yo, these old Liangzhou can really do it, really do it!" Jiang Jin, the general of Duliao, climbed up to the watchtower at night, slapped the night guards who were dozing off to wake up, and asked them to roll down the watchtower to sleep, and Li Damu looked at the Liangzhou people outside the camp with their shoulders and backs, and laughed softly: "These people are like horses, their ears are supported when they sleep, and they get up and run when they get on the horse!" ”

Li Damu couldn't laugh, the big eyes of the copper bell looked directly at the head of Caiyang City over a few miles, the siege of the city at night was pitch black, except for the bright bonfire lit by the Liangzhou soldiers, more bright light gathered at the head of Caiyang City, "The defenders have changed their guards, and there was no one under the three flags in the east a moment ago, but now there are people...... Ah Jin, can't let them sleep. ”

Although Li Damu is only a partial general now, he has another identity as Jiang Jin's eldest brother, so when no one is around, he calls Jiang Jin like Zhao Wang Yanbei. A few years ago, Li Damu's five younger sisters married Jiang Jin, Wang Yi, Sun Qing, Wang Dang, and Lei Gong respectively. In other words, he is the brother-in-law of the current General Duliao, Lizhou Mu, Scout General, Yulin Zhonglang General, and Youji Salt and Iron Governor.

After Li Bo joined the Yellow Turban, his mother and five younger sisters were scolded by the neighbors of Julu Township as the head of the household, and they became the nobles of the north, and their momentum was incomparable.

"Wait, it's not the time yet." Jiang Jin whistled downstairs as he spoke, and a few soldiers who were resting on the watchtower immediately ran outside the camp. Jiang Jin said casually: "Now that the people are not asleep, let's set up the stone cannons first, and then throw stones into the city after half an hour, smash them to wake them up, don't sleep anyone!" ”

The troops entered Jingbei, and Zhang Xiu made Jiang Jin get most of Nanyang without much effort, and now there are only two cities left in front of him, Deng County and Caiyang, only need to capture these two cities, and Xiangyang will have no danger to defend except for a water. In other words, as long as Jiang Jin's generals are here, the capture of Jingzhou will be just around the corner.

"Don't really say it, General Zhang has capable people around him, that Jia Wen is extraordinary!"

At dusk, Zhang Xiu hoped that Jiang Jin could dismantle the five stone cannons in his hand and hide them in the ridges in the dim twilight, saying that the staff suggested that the stone cannons should be used to bombard the city at night to disturb the rest of the enemy army.

This is the third day of their siege, and in the hundred days, Jiang Jin just sent people to shout and scold under the city, wishing that the enemy army could stupidly run out of the city and scream and fight with him, as for the siege, although Jingzhou is nothing, it is fully prepared, a small city in Caiyang has nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, and the follow-up troops are still being sent to the battlefield in a steady stream. Everyone is anxious in their eyes, but there is really nothing to do.

Jiang Jin is not good at attacking cities, perhaps because of his talent, even if Rong Ma has been fighting with the Yan clan in the south and north for more than ten years, fighting with all parties, but the fact that Jiang Jin is fighting is not growing...... Li Damu heard his sister say that after leading troops from Bingzhou into Sizhou, Jiang Jin always ran back to his home in Jizhou every once in a while, and sometimes he would laugh at himself when he drank too much wine, saying that the most glorious time in his life Jiang Jin was about to be the grandson of the Yishui River.

Later, after a few battles, Li Damu was by his side, and he knew that Jiang Jin had indeed never fought such a beautiful battle again. The Pingnan Xiongnu was talking about Jiang Jin's exploits, but that was actually King Zhao's favoritism to his old pillar and his own military exploits. Otherwise, Jiang Jin's performance in Bingzhou, what feats can he make? The fingers were all lost in the state, and there was no credit for it.

If it is a field battle of 20,000 enemy troops, Jiang Jin still has the strength to fight, but there are 20,000 defenders attacking the city? Just looking at Jiang Jin, he doesn't want to fight, he is past the age of stepping on the rocky mountains and seas of his comrades to climb up, and he knows very well that this situation makes people attack and die!

It's hurtful to yin morality!

"You old tomb robber, are you still afraid of hurting Yinde?" Li Damu smiled, "I know, in the early years, you didn't take a ritual to raise food for King Zhao. ”

"It's all nonsense from others, and you believe it. He didn't want those things, and some of them were really hard to get out, so he sent them to him, and scolded me once. He always likes to think for others: You Jiang someone is dead, and you also want others to dig your grave? Either that, what do you say, when you go to someone else's house and others treat you as a guest, is there a reason to do so? It's old-fashioned! Jiang Jin learned the way Yanbei spoke, and then he lay on the watchtower and laughed, and after laughing, he shook his head and said: "It's not about my brother, Jiang has no other problems, but he is greedy for money, who doesn't love money?" ”

Li Damu looked at the city again, and there was no movement for a long time, then he turned his head and said: "Who doesn't know if you are greedy for money, if you are not greedy for money, you and King Zhao are like brothers, and the general will definitely do it in the future." ”

"General? Not uncommon. Jiang knows that he is two pounds, but the gang in Qingzhou are all staring at the position of the general, and Lu Yi is hollowing out his mind to fight for his exploits, and even Zang Ba is slaughtered, how many people are killed in a battle? Speaking of Lu Yi, Jiang Jin's face was full of disgust, "The dynasty has changed, how many of these soldiers who will fight with us in the future are talents who can be Wei Huo, and they can't die before the founding of the country for our military exploits." Well, it's okay to be a Du Liao, and when Jingzhou is peaceful, I will go back to Jizhou and stop fighting. ”

"Back to Jizhou, I haven't heard you say it, what are you going to do?" Li Damu has always felt that his brother-in-law will be able to be a general in the future, and now that he heard that Jiang Jin was going back to Jizhou, he said urgently: "You go back now, what should you do in Jingzhou?" ”

Jiang Jin blinked and smiled, "What can I do, find my brother to make a marquis, and go back to spend money!" In the early years, even the military rations were carried home, but now the copper coins at home are piled up, who will spend it if you don't go back? I asked San Lang to find thousands of crippled soldiers from Youzhou, and when the time comes, I will connect the soldiers who fought with me, make a big one, what is it called, I haven't thought about it yet, anyway, it's the same as my brother's caravan in Youji before, planting a flag can pass through the Erzhou Pass and don't stop that, from the Western Regions of Liangzhou to Lizhou, from the Jiangnan border to the Xianbei tribe, buy everything and sell everything, sleep on the Golden Mountain every day while I'm alive, and wait for me to die, hey, no one wants to steal Lao Tzu's tomb, just quietly find a mountain to bury, just wrap a yellow mat, Give all the unspent money to my brother...... By the way, did Liu Xuande enter Yizhou, I heard from the people who fled north, and I heard that he entered Jingzhou in the previous paragraph, is there such a thing? ”

These words turned too fast, Li Damu nodded a little dazedly, and then saw Jiang Jinyi clapping his hands and said: "Okay, it's easy to know where he is, go back and ask someone to write a letter to him, isn't he weaving a mat, his mother still hasn't called his minister to hide in the mountains, let him weave one for me, just wrap this!" ”
