The waves on the Juma River in southern Youzhou were sparkling. Xiao Siwen rode his horse first to the riverside, turned over and got off the horse, led the horse to the riverside to drink water, and reached out to touch the hair of the mount. He looked back at the river and built many floating bridges around.

This place is based on the upper reaches of the Juma River, and the Jiedushi of Zhouguofang Town in the middle reaches is doing something, using the river water to artificially build swamps on both sides of the river to resist the attacks of the Liao cavalry. But that was a very difficult task, and there was no progress in a year or two; and now, Xiao Siwen only needs to build a few floating bridges on the river to drive south.

His subordinate Abudi also led his horse to the river to drink water and said, "Let's go west after crossing the river. Will there be something wrong in Yizhou?"

Xiao Siwen smiled and said, "Sun Xingyou's turtle shrouded, Wen Feng kept his door and stood there, how dare he come out? Even if he comes out, he is not my opponent. However, the general of the Zhou army is heading to Gong to the Maiden Pass. Let's take down Maiden Pass first, and Prince Yelu's army may arrive late."

Abudi nodded and said yes.

Xiao Siwen turned around and the terrain was slightly higher in the north. Looking at the large area of ​​infantry and cavalry on the plains spreading towards the Juma River. He said: "The warriors of the Great Liao Dynasty are like tigers. It is not that easy for the Zhou army to pull their teeth from the tiger's mouth! As long as our reinforcements can break through on the periphery, Jinyang will not be a problem."

...

There was still no big noise outside Jinyang City, and the rain stopped within two days.

A few days ago, the Zhou army besieged and attacked very fiercely. People in Jinyang City were panicked. However, after the initial panic passed, people gradually adapted to the war environment and the world gradually stabilized. But at this time, someone became panicked: Prime Minister Guo Yuanwei.

Guo Yuanwei had a high position in the Northern Han court and had great power, but the more he was like this, the more cautious he was. Before being arrested, Zhao Kuangyin showed dissatisfaction and anger that he showed clearly knew about being betrayed; and that was the court's military operation, and only a few important ministers and military generals knew about it. Where did Zhao Kuangyin know?

Jinyang is in a war. Although the Northern Han lord did not pursue the matter with great fanfare for the time being, Guo Yuanwei still smelled the danger.

He thought about whether the process of doing things would leave clues? Some of the subtleties that he thought were impossible to expose were also considered loopholes at this time, but he couldn't think of what specific methods others would use to know.

Worried about danger and luck, Guo Yuanwei suddenly regretted contacting Zhao Kuangyin. Now it seems a bit unnecessary; even if he didn't inform Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin would not necessarily bite. However, it was because he was cautious and thought that he was worried about this matter, so he did that.

Guo Yuanwei thought of surrendering to the Zhou army to protect himself, but he did not directly control the troops, so the risk of planning was also very high. The best chance of surrender was the demise of the Northern Han Kingdom.

But Guo Yuanwei was still so panicked that he judged that Jinyang should be able to be saved this time. Feige sent a letter from Xinzhou and other places. The Liao army had already dispatched, and even the Youzhou army also reinforced from the east. As long as the reinforcements could approach Jinyang, the Zhou army would not be able to capture the city.

The reinforcements of the Liao army are still there, so there will be no problems with the morale of Jinyang City.

Guo Yuanwei's main focus is on his own safety, and of course he does not value the survival of Jinyang the most.

...Yang Ye took advantage of the truce and had no war and visited Feng Jinke in Nancheng. He wanted to take the opportunity to take a closer look at the fortifications of the Zhou army. This was the main attack direction of the Zhou army. However, Yang Ye was not convenient to come over during the war, otherwise he would be suspicious of pointing fingers at his colleagues.

Feng Jinke went to the city to greet him, and the two exchanged a few greetings and then talked about the war.

While dealing with it, Yang Ye looked at the geotechnical construction below. The entire land was more than twenty steps wide. The Zhou army had only been slightly effective in two days and built a short height under the city wall... Although the results were not great, the Zhou army had only been less than two days of building land; and the city wall looked high, and this section was only more than three meters long, and the height was not out of reach.

He looked carefully and found that the large rock bullets, rolling wood, bricks and stones on the rammed earth were also built in the earthen mountains as stepping stones.

Feng Jinke said: "The Zhou army only built soil here, and there were many ways to stop them. However, the Zhou army's gunpowder cannons were mainly concentrated here. Once the armour was laid on the city wall and a bombardment were fired, they would definitely be destroyed! We have not yet found a way to stop them from stacking soil."

Yang Ye nodded and looked at the scene outside the city wall. He reminded quietly: "I saw a ruined house in disguise on the southeast corner building. He guessed that Zhou's army was digging tunnels and attacking, and might have the same trick to re-engage the battle of Shouzhou to bomb the city."

After hearing this, Feng Jinke said, "I have dug tunnels in the city to prepare for defense. If the Zhou army digs close to the city wall, we may find it. We have also made arrangements and guarded according to the defense method suggested by Zhao Kuangyin. It is not so easy for the Zhou army to reuse the same trick."

When Yang Ye heard Zhao Kuangyin, he immediately remembered the fact that Zhao Kuangyin was sold. He had no objection to the decision of the Northern Han lord, but he was also quite emotional, and felt that the so-called emperor's grace was so great that it was just that in the face of the pros and cons!

But Yang Ye was still calm and did not want to surrender to Zhou through the spies of Zhou. Now that he surrendered, although he has made great contributions, his reputation and reliability in the hearts of the world have been greatly affected. The performance of loyalty to the emperor cannot be easily destroyed.

Yang Ye looked at it and said cautiously: "We will have a hard battle with Zhou Jun, sooner or later!"

Feng Jinke turned his head and looked north and said, "Even if the soil is successfully built and the gap is limited, the Zhou army attacks from above and wants to break the city from such a place, unless our morale is low, there is no desire to fight."

Yang Ye remembered the battle with Zhou Jun near Baigu, frowned; but he looked down at the Tushan Mountain below, pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

In Yang Ye's previous speculation, the Liao army could rescue the crisis this time when the Liao army could arrive. This was the consensus of the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty; if reinforcements were not available, Jinyang would surrender because he lost hope. It would be meaningless to waste the city without foreign aid... But now after seeing the Zhou army's tactic of using 100 kilogram stone cannons, he changed the speculation: if the Liao army did not come, Jinyang would not surrender, and he would not have the morale to fight bloody battles, and he would be forced to break through the city.

Feng Jinke pondered for a while and said, "No matter what, whether the Liao army reinforcements can reach the city of Jinyang is related to the life and death of our country."

He suddenly didn't value the result too much... He was indeed a little disappointed with the Northern Han Lord in his heart, and he didn't want to repay the Northern Han Lord with his gratitude to the Northern Han Lord. In addition, the spy in his family made him a little angry at the beginning, but gradually realized that this was the intention of King Zhou's win over, and he already had a way out.

Feng Jinke said: "It is reported that the Liao army has gathered near Yinshan, and the Ri is heading south. Jinyang City should be at least one month or two months. It depends on whether the Liao army can defeat the Zhou army's Li Chuyun team in Xinzhou and Niangzi Pass in the east!"
