Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

At night, the footsteps outside the door were chaotic, and from time to time you could see the light of fire flashing across the wall. In the darkness, you would suddenly hear a terrifying roar, which resounded through the night sky. It was the artillery of the Qin army. The shooting in the city made people feel uneasy.

Many houses and tents were hit, and there were hundreds of casualties. The whole city was in panic, not just the defenders. They were trembling during the day and could not sleep peacefully at night.

The orderly shouting of the Qin army outside the city, as well as the loud military songs sung at night, all made people feel despair and fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Xiao Chuo was awakened by the sound of cannons, and hid in panic behind a wall thickened by domestic slaves.

Yesterday afternoon, a shell entered the main hall of her house, punched a hole in the roof, and fell straight into the center. Although no one was injured or injured, everyone in the family was terrified.

The servants also panicked about who was killed by the Qin army's cannon outside, which was even more disturbing.

Second, he called in Chinese craftsmen to thicken the wall in the south of the house several layers. The craftsman told her to hide in the corner if she heard the gunfire again.

Ever since she arrived in Beijing, she has been living in her mother's former princess mansion. This mansion was rewarded to her mother by Emperor Sejong. After her mother got married, she followed her father to Nanjing. Only domestic slaves and relatives were left here to take care of her. This time she came back Used it again.

After a while, the sound of the cannon at Yunchu stopped, and she looked up from the window. The yard was quiet, but the outside was chaotic again, and she heard noisy noise from time to time, and the footsteps of the patrolling army moving from far to near and then far away again. A little bit involved her fragile and anxious heart.

Frightened and completely sleepless, she put on her clothes and went out to stand alone in the yard.

Looking at the bright moon over the mountain shadow in the distance, she felt a little dazed, the world was changing, it was unexpected, and it was difficult to deal with it. If it wasn't for the sound of the cannons, if it wasn't for the rush to the sky, the horn of the military song, which seemed to be over the city, was loud and stern and hit people's hearts. , she probably doesn't want to recognize the capital of the Great Liao Kingdom, the place where Emperor Taizu founded the country is now surrounded by Qin's army
A few months ago, her father told her that she would become the empress of the Liao Kingdom, one of the two most powerful people in the Liao Kingdom. Power is generally greater than that of southern countries.

At that time, she originally thought that she should be happy, she finally surpassed her sister who always competed with her, and grasped the authority of one person under one person and above ten thousand people.

But when Yelu Xiezhen took her out of Nanjing that day, she felt restless in the car all the way, and her heart was disturbed for a long time and it was not difficult to be at peace.

She couldn't tell why, and she couldn't figure out why she was uneasy and afraid.

When she reached Shangjing, she heard the Qin army marching northward. From the back of the mountain, the long front south of Yanshan suddenly launched a full-scale attack. At least more than [-] troops were in a hurry.

It dawned on her, and she finally understood why she was so uneasy and afraid, because once they went north, they would completely disobey Shi Congyun, that frightening person who is in the south and has never met.

In the days that followed, she spent the rest of her life in anxiety, asking her father about wars from time to time. The Qin army in the south was like a broken bamboo, because most of the imperial guards in Youzhou were taken north to Beijing, and the south was empty. The Qin army marched quickly behind the mountain and south of Yanshan Mountain. , Many states and counties fell one after another, and even Nanjing was quickly defeated by the Qin army.

At that time, her father comforted her. The Qin army only won for a while because of the emptiness in the south. His Majesty has summoned the armies of Shan, Pishi, Gongwei, and the Sixth Army of the South Court. Listening to the tune in the capital, 39 armies are being assembled, and hundreds of thousands of troops will soon be called to the south to expel the Qin army and restore the lost ground.

But a few months later, she heard rumors in Shangjing that the entire southern army was wiped out. His Majesty only took more than 1000 people and fled back to Shangjing. The rest of the more than [-] troops who went south did not return.

At that time, the city was full of wind and rain, everyone was in danger, and some people stood up and said that it was just rumors, nonsense gossip, demagogy, and various voices were inconsistent. She had a very bad premonition, because the opponent was Shi Congyun.

She was very smart, thinking that as soon as she went north, the Qin army would immediately launch an attack. It is said that the army was close to 20. The attack of so many people, whether it was logistical preparations or personnel transfer, could never be a temporary one.

Shi Congyun said that he would get along with them in a friendly way and not invade each other, but in fact, he may have already planned this attack again.
With his cunning and ferocity, thinking about the fate of those southern countries, Xiao Chuo became more and more frightened.

All the arguments, disagreements, and speculations will end in a few days, because the Qin army has arrived outside Shangjing, and their army will completely surround Shangjing two days later. There is no need to argue at this point, only stunned, fear and despair
It is an indisputable fact that only more than 1000 people returned from the army of more than [-] under the Qin army.

Xiao Chuo had been unable to calm down for a long time. She thought of Shi Congyun's request with fear. Now that he is coming, she began to regret it. If she had satisfied him at the beginning, maybe it would not be the situation today, maybe they shouldn't have gone south Fight for the front, but give up the land south of Yanshan in exchange for strikes.
No matter what she thinks, there are many thoughts and mixed feelings in her heart, and things can't be changed.

After a while, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard, and she became nervous and asked, "Who is outside?"

"I!"

She heard her father's voice clearly and went to open the door, but found that her father was not alone, there were many tall and armored family soldiers behind him.

The father ordered: "You will be responsible for protecting this yard in the future. No one can come in anyway, no matter what is going on outside."

Those people obeyed the order and began to deploy around the yard under the leadership of the captain.

Only then did her father turn around and say to her: "Yanyan, you must remember that when I'm not here, no one tells you not to leave, just stay at the Princess Mansion, it's the safest place."

Xiao Chuo's heart warmed, and he nodded, "I know my father."

Xiao Siwen once again solemnly emphasized: "Remember, no matter who it is! No one can take you away."

Xiao Chuo felt that his father's words were a little strange, so he nodded his head to assure him, and his father took people away afterward.

She was a little puzzled, and didn't understand why her father came to her at night, sent so many people to protect her, and repeatedly emphasized those words to her. After thinking about it for a long time, and thinking of her father's temper, she suddenly felt that maybe the situation in Shangjing had changed. It was worse than she thought.
The continuous camps outside the capital are all over the place, from the south of the city to the west of the city, there are continuous Qin troops everywhere. At this time, the total number of troops deployed in the four directions outside the city has exceeded 5, and more troops are deployed in the northwest. Yelusha, the Prime Minister of the Liao army, has already explained that there are still some tribal troops on the way in the northwest.

Outside the big tent of the Chinese army by the Shali River, people were roasting a sheep around the fire, and several major generals of the Qin army were there.

Wang Shenqi said: "Commander, the deployment to the northwest has been completed. Most of the troops and artillery are deployed in that direction. No matter how many tribes there are in the northwest, we can stop them."

Xiang Xun also said: "We have completely controlled the bridge in the east of the city, and it is convenient to get water for camping along the Qingshui River. The soldiers are almost ready to rest."

After speaking, everyone looked at him, and Li Chuyun naturally understood what they meant: "The south is also resting well, I know you all want to attack immediately, but"

Li Chuyun changed the subject, "Your Majesty will arrive in Beijing in two or three days at the most. Don't you want to show off your bravery and abilities in front of the officials?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately understood, and then their eyes lit up. Li Chuyun is worthy of being a commander, and he not only knows how to fight.

"Have a good rest for a few days, sharpen your knives and guns, prepare all your shells, gunpowder, bows and arrows, there must be a time when you will show your power," Li Chuyun laughed, and everyone laughed too, munching on the fat mutton, In the distance, the resounding military song came to mind again, and soon it became continuous because of the soldiers' desire to win. After a while, it was remembered everywhere in the south and north of the city, and the troops from the west and east of the city also sang along. Absolutely.

The civilian officer accompanying the army got up, looked at the capital city in the distance, and said boldly: "This is an ambush from all sides, besieged on all sides! Hahahahahaha!"

"Cultural people speak nicely! Hahahahaha" For a moment, the camp was full of joy.

Two days later, the Tianzi Luan flag came from the south, and the big flag was particularly conspicuous under the stars of the crane, dragon, white horse, tiger and other feudal flags, and could be seen clearly from a few miles away.

Shengjia arrived in Beijing!

Soon inside and outside the city, both sides of the Shali River caused great shock. Countless soldiers shouted long live by the river, and there was an overwhelming momentum.
