Yu Wenhua heard Li Chongjiu's intention to seek peace, and couldn't help laughing.

Yu Wenzhi and seeing his brother's expression, he further said at the moment: "Li Chongjiu has repeatedly failed to believe in this person, he has betrayed the alliance and defrauded Liyang Cang before, and now he is fighting fiercely with Liu Heimin, and he can't get out, and he is afraid of the imperial brother's military might, so he made peace, and used this as a delaying tactic to delay the army, so as to delay time, if once he captures Yongnian City, not only will he not give us the second county of the army, but also further fight Wei County, eradicate us, and unify Hebei." ”

Yu Wenhua nodded happily when he heard this, and said: "Zhiji, it seems that you have not been in vain in Zhao this time, and your knowledge has grown a lot, and you think so for your brother, Zhao Jun is also seeking peace, the more you whisper, the more they are afraid of us, and the more determined our heart to capture Handan." Occupying Handan, you can threaten the grain route of the Zhao army from the daimyo to the city of Yongnian City, and I think that I can get back my Liyang warehouse at any time, which is a double win. ”

Yu Wenzhi said: "Brother Huang's move is clever. However, we can pretend to negotiate peace with Zhao Jun and take advantage of Handan's unpreparedness to attack Handan City. ”

"That's exactly what I mean." Yu Wenhua sneered and looked at Handan City in the distance.

Yongnian City.

Xu Shiji stood on the top of the mountain and looked at Yongnian City slowly. There was already a country near Yongnian City, and it rained again yesterday evening, and the water potential of the Fuyang River was even greater, and it poured directly into the flood area of the Zhao Army, so the city wall of Yongnian City standing on the water surface was a little shorter.

One can imagine how the morale of the Xia soldiers in the city was low in the midst of the flooding.

On the side, Xue Wan said: "If this continues, I'm afraid that Yongnian City will be self-defeating." ”

Xu Shiji shook his head and said solemnly: "It's not the last moment." Anything can be born, as long as Yongnian City does not surrender for a day. You can't take it lightly. ”

Immediately, Xu Shiji said to Zhao Quanting, the general on the side: "Is the navy ready?" ”

Zhao Quanting clenched his fists and said, "I'm ready." ”

Xu Shiji said: "Order the naval army to fight. ”

Here, the Zhao army beat the drums of war, and more than 30 Zhao army's sailors set out on the lake.

Zhao Jun's water boats are all small boats with a capacity of hundreds of stones. Ten oarsmen on deck rowed hard, and on board were twenty soldiers of Zhao Jun who were familiar with water warfare.

The boat was covered by leather shields on all sides, and the soldiers were armed with swords and guns, and the deck was either equipped with a light stone thrower or a bed crossbow, and the generals commanded them to row straight under the city of Yongnian.

The Xia army on the city wall obviously didn't expect that the Zhao army would attack the city when Yongnian City had become a water. Zhao Jun's ship drove into range and shot a stone-throwing from the bow of the ship. The crossbow arrows slashed at the Xia army on the city wall. And the soldiers of Zhao on the deck also raised their crossbows and shot at the head of the city.

However, Zhao Jun's water army obviously estimated the bed crossbow and trebuchet on the city tower, and did not dare to get too close to the city wall, but only scattered in the distance.

Xue Wanshu looked at the scene of the water battle of the Zhao army, and said: "Our army relies on dozens of small boats, I am afraid it will not be easy to break through the wall of the Xia army." ”

Xu Shiji said: "But it can shake the determination of the Xia army to defend the city. ”

At this time, I only heard a bang from the east of the city.

"What's going on?" Xu Shiji asked.

One of the scouts said, "Yes." General Xue was stationed in the east of the city, and hit the city wall of the Xia army with a stone, opening a gap. ”

Xu Shiji nodded, and Xue Wanshu said with a smile: "It seems that there is no need to wait for the king to come back." The matter of attacking Yongnian City can be further advanced. ”

In Yongnian City, the hustle and bustle in the east of the city came one after another.

It's nightfall. But the Zhao army's offensive was still more than endless. The lights of the eastern wall of the city, one after another.

Liu Heimin's face was cloudy, and he stood on the bow of the boat with his sword. Soldiers rowed through the streets of the city carrying him and hundreds of reinforcements to the east of the city in the midst of battle.

From the west of the city to the east of the city, the west of the city can still wade forward, and the east of the city is the low-lying land of Yongnian City, so the water is very deep, and the depth of the water can barely reach people's necks.

The muddy water flowed beneath his feet, and Liu Heimin suddenly remembered that the Yellow River had flooded that year, and the flood had washed into their village, and that the flood had taken away his brother's family.

Just as Liu Heimin was thinking for a moment, he heard a commotion, and he saw a scene of houses on one side of the street twisting and collapsing under the heavy water. Liu Heimin pressed his sword and couldn't help gritting his teeth.

Hundreds of reinforcements rushed to the east city wall, the Zhao army's offensive had just stopped, Liu Heimin looked at the rocks all over the city, as well as the bed crossbow and big arrowhead shot in the cracks of the city wall, and the wounded soldiers of the Xia army according to the city wall, so exposed to the city wall, groaning within the range of the stone thrower on the Zhao army's earth mountain.

"Yes, General!"

Seeing that Sergeant Xia saw Liu Heimin under the light, he got up one after another.

A veteran soldier who was missing half of his arm stepped forward and asked, "Liu Wazi, my eldest son was gone yesterday, can we still fight this battle?" ”

Under the lights, all the soldiers looked at Liu Heimin's swarthy face, all seeking hope.

Liu Heimin looked at this clan uncle who was from his hometown, and said without hesitation: "Yes!" ”

All the soldiers showed joy on their faces, the Xia soldiers who were defending the city didn't know too much about the big truth, since Liu Heimin said that he could continue to fight, he would continue to fight.

Just because a soldier is like this does not mean that a general is also like this.

Several generals in the north of the city gathered in the city tower to report the battle situation to Liu Heimin.

Liu Heimin listened carefully to the generals' warnings, according to the current battle situation, the east of the city can still be defended, but the generals seem to have lost confidence in defending to the death.

"Zhao Jun is too ruthless, this is simply moving all the water of the East China Sea, and he wants to feed us fish and shrimp!"

"It's like Guan Yunchang flooded the Seventh Army back then!"

"You can't fight like this anymore, think of a way, do you want to send someone out of the city to Henan, and ask Wang Shichong or Li Tang for reinforcements."

"Bad idea, right now Tang Zheng is fighting, Li Tang is busy attacking Zheng, Wang Shichong is difficult to protect himself, neither of them will come to help us."

"General, you give us a letter of approval, how long can this city be defended."

Liu Heimin turned his head and said, "Brothers, I have received credible news that hundreds of thousands of Turkic troops have been dispatched to attack Zhao State. Yanmen and Shanggu are all about to be captured. I'm about to enter Yujing, so just bear with it for a while. Then will be the time for us to counterattack. ”

"O Turks! It's hard. ”

The generals shook their heads, and one of the generals said: "It's been almost three months since the Zhao army attacked Xia, but the Turks are still in Yanmen, wandering around the valley, the general is not that I can't trust you, but I can't trust the Turkic Hu people, if we still count on the Turks now, I'm afraid those Shandong soldiers under our command will not be able to suppress it." ”

"I can't hold it anymore. Just change people. Liu Heimin reprimanded.

The generals discussed a lot, and one of the generals began to euphemistically reveal the intention of making peace with Zhao Jun. Liu Heimin's face was blue, and his fists full of thick calluses were clenched, but he didn't say anything.

There was a knock outside the door, and a general entered the city and said, "General Qiyu has caught a fine work and wants to sneak into the city." ”

Liu Heimin asked, "Is it Zhao Jun's meticulous work?" ”

The general said: "This person was taking a small boat to sneak into the city, and when we caught it, we thought it was a spy of the Zhao army, and then this person claimed to be from Wei County, saying that there was an important military report, and insisted on meeting the general before saying." ”

"Bring it in."

Soon the name was taken into account. Although the other party was detained, he looked calm.

Liu Heimin knew that the person who could still sneak into the city when the two armies of Zhao and Xia were fighting fiercely must be a brave person.

After seeing Liu Heimin, the other party said: "This must be the general." I was polite under the order, and greeted the general on behalf of His Majesty. ”

Liu Heimin's eyes narrowed and said, "You said that you came from Wei County, but right now, Yongnian City is surrounded by Zhao troops. How did you get into town? ”

The man said: "Not really, when Zhao Jun flooded Yongnian City yesterday. They have all withdrawn to the east of the city a long time ago, not to mention the few broken ships of the Zhao Junshui Division. You want to catch me too, and you're dreaming. ”

Liu Heimin nodded slightly, and said to the other party: "However, Zhao Jun's current matter of digging embankments and irrigating the city is greatly beyond my expectations, I don't know what the current situation of Zhao Xia's battle is, with the elite of the Xia army, Zhao Jun should suffer a lot under the city." ”

Liu Heimin laughed and said: "Are you here to ask me, or am I here to ask you, since you claim to be the envoy of Lord Xu, do you have a letter?" ”

"Nope." The other party simply replied.

Liu Heimin said: "I didn't come to the book to ask me how to believe you." ”

The other party said: "I risked my life to come here, not to ask the general to believe me, but to tell the general a message." ”

The general on the side slapped the table and said: "Without credentials, how do we know if the news is true or fake?" ”

The man smiled and said, "As long as it's good news, it's true." ”

"Although." Liu Heimin said.

This person had a smile on his face, and said solemnly: "I don't sell Guanzi in the next place, I don't hide it, Your Majesty has led 20,000 elite soldiers from Wei County to this place to relieve the siege of Yongnian City." His Majesty implored the general to hold on for a few more days, as long as the army arrived, Xu Xia's two armies would attack inside and outside, and they would definitely be able to break the Zhao army. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the generals were colored, and they got up one after another. One person said: "Ruo Yuwen ...... If Xu Guo's majesty can rescue us, then there is still hope for Yongnian City. ”

The man smiled and said, "Do you still doubt my identity?" ”

Liu Heimin hugged his fists and said: "This brother is offended, Liu is here to make amends for you." ”

The other party stood up and saluted, and said: "The general is powerful in Hebei, and he has been admired for a long time, so he really doesn't dare to be it." ”

Liu Heimin said: "Your lord can ignore his past suspicions and come to help my Xia army when it is in danger, Liu is very grateful. However, I want to tell you the truth, although the Zhao army has held the city with me for nearly ten days, there has been no loss in the number of troops. If Lord Xu came to relieve the siege of Yongnian City, now was not the time. ”

The other party couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "If you are someone else, it is too late to ask for it, but the general can push it back, it is really respectful, it is really in vain for me to come to the city and see such a heroic figure of the general." ”

Liu Heimin said: "Don't put a high hat on me, at the moment Xu Jun is the last hope of my Yongnian City, if you are defeated by Li Chongjiu, then you will be a Qiē Hugh." You immediately go out of the city now, report this matter to your lord, and say that my Yongnian City can still support it for a few days, and ask him not to advance lightly at this time, and not to fight a decisive battle with the Zhao army. This is the fulfillment of Li Chongjiu's wish. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!)
