The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 559 Before Siege
King Zhao was a little puzzled after hearing the best policy. In his opinion, the best policy was not as brilliant as the middle policy.

Why did Master Du Yan regard this as the best policy? !

However, the two of them had a very close relationship, and it was no longer limited to just cooperation, so King Zhao didn't test it, but asked directly.

"Master, why can't I see how this best strategy is better than the middle strategy?!"

"Because the lord is in a hurry. After waiting for 20 years, the lord is about to lose his patience." The rosary that Du Yan plucked seemed to be spinning in King Zhao's heart.

"Because the middle strategy is very likely to allow the prince to ascend the throne legally in the shortest possible time. As long as Yu Yanyi fails and the court flees south, the prince can justifiably raise the banner of righteousness and regain the lost ground. When the prince sees the benefits, he wants to Take a fight, and the old monk's choice is the safest way. It can guarantee the greatest profit for the prince."

"If you use the best strategy, the prince can go straight to the court of Houjin, plunder the wealth and population of Houjin, and subdue the tribes of Mohe. Mohe is a family of fishing and hunting. Zhou's armaments, his age is enough for the lord to compete against the Tiance's elite cavalry that sweeps the world."

Zhao Wang: "...You are right, but I have been waiting for 20 years, and I don't want to wait any longer! This is an opportunity. If I can grasp it well, I can save at least ten years of work!"

Du Yan knew that King Zhao still had a decision in his heart.

He is not a person who changes his mind easily, at least the current Du Yan is not sure about persuading King Zhao to change his mind.

"Come here, pass on the order to monitor the Jinyang battlefield at all times, and make sure to report every day!"

"Yes!"

King Zhao's eyes were full of undisguised, burning ambition.

When Taizu passed on the throne to Jinshang, he was unwilling!

Just because he is the eldest son, he can have everything as a matter of course. In the eyes of both the empire and the emperor, there is only the eldest son.

No matter how hard Zhao Wang garrisoned the border, he did not get much praise.

Why? !

This has always been the obsession of King Zhao.

Since he didn't take it from Taizu, he will grab it himself.

He wants to build an unprecedented empire that goes far beyond Tang and Han to prove that he is the most qualified heir to the empire!

=============
For three days, the atmosphere in Jinyang City became more and more solemn.

According to the scouts' investigation, within the past three days, the Houjin troops who were originally scattered in Youzhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou were slowly gathering.

According to the report of the scouts, the Houjin soldiers and horses have already camped 30 miles east of Jinyang. The military camp stretches to the east for dozens of miles. There are probably [-] of them gathered, and the follow-up soldiers and horses are still coming. .

The meaning of Hou Jin is that the world will be determined in one battle!
The current Jinyang City is a banner for the resistance of the Northern Region of Great Zhou. Once Hou Jin can capture Jinyang City, it will greatly damage the morale of the Zhou army and wear down the Zhou people's will to resist.

Both sides know a little bit.

The battle of Jinyang City is not a battle of gains and losses for one city and one pool, but a battle that determines the outcome of Hou Jin and Da Zhou.

Although there are no elite soldiers in the northern border of the Great Zhou, the Shence Army guarding the Western Regions and the Shenwu Army guarding the southern border are world-renowned strong soldiers.

Needless to say, the Shence Army of the Western Regions. Although the cavalry army is slightly inferior to the Tiance Army, the fine cavalry of the 36 countries in the Western Regions is enough to deal with the cavalry of Houjin.

And the strong bow and crossbow of the Shenwu Army can also shoot the Mohe cavalry in leather armor into hedgehogs.

The reason why these two elite soldiers were unable to support Jinyang was that it was not an easy task to draw manpower from the already not wealthy troops to support Jinyang in a short period of time.

But it can't be delayed for a long time. Although under the arrangement of Gong Ziyu, there are turmoil in the Southern Wilderness and the Western Regions, but as time goes by, the Shence Army and the Shenwu Army will eventually be able to shrink the defense line, change the deployment, and deploy troops to support the northern border. of.

So now Houjin is also in a hurry!
Da Zhou is now a sick tiger, and Tumubao is the sudden serious illness that makes Da Zhou extremely weak now.

Then Jin wanted to take advantage of Da Zhou's current weakness, and with all his strength, he would completely injure Da Zhou.

Once Da Zhou, the sick tiger, was relieved, no matter how violent the wild wolf was, it would not be the opponent of the king of beasts.

"His Royal Highness, how many arrows are there in Jinyang City now?! How much food and grass!?"

Zhu Zhangui came out after hearing the news, dressed in military uniform and heroic!
"Hui Yushuai! The craftsmen of the craftsmen have been working day and night these days, and with the continuous shipment from Gyeonggi, there are now 400 million 80 feather arrows in Jinyang City! It is enough for our army to use for more than a month!"

The King of Chu at this moment is even more energetic than when he seized his heir in Beijing.

This battlefield is where he should be!
"Originally, there were 20 shi of grain stored in the granary of the Jinyang government treasury. When the Beiman army and the Beicao army crossed the border from Gyeonggi, they also transported countless grains to Jinyang city."

"At this moment, the storage warehouses in Jinyang City are full, and there are a total of 120 million shi of grain and grass, which is enough for the entire army to use for more than half a year!"

Yu Yanyi shook his head when he heard the words, "Not enough! The people who eat are not only the soldiers in the army, but also the people in the city! Where is the Governor of Jinyang!?"

A civil servant came out from behind, "The next official is here!"

Jinyang Mansion is the government office of Bingzhou, and the governor of Jinyang Mansion was originally a big official. The rank from the fifth rank can be regarded as a middle-level official in the country, but now he can only stand in the back row.

There are really too many high-ranking officials in Jinyang City. Didn't you see that His Highness the King of Chu can only take the second place? !

"The governor asked you to evacuate the people and relocate the old and the weak, how are you doing?!"

Although the rank is not high, the governor of Jinyang is the parent officer of this place after all, so it is most appropriate to entrust this kind of thing to him!

As soon as the war started, Min Zhuang could still provide some combat power, but the old and weak women and children would consume the food in the city, so Yu Yanyi ordered that the old and weak women and children in the city be moved to Gyeonggi for temporary resettlement.

"Returning to the words of the adults, there were 39 households and 170 million people in Jinyang City! According to the orders of the adults, the officials bought grain from the people at a high price with the money from the Jinyang government treasury to feed the army! The people knew that there was going to be a war. , One after another, they moved to the pass, and there are still 12 households in Jinyang City, who are unwilling to move because it is difficult to leave their homeland."

Hearing this, Yu Yanyi nodded. Being able to relocate 27 households in a short period of time is already within his acceptable range. This governor of Jinyang is very capable in government affairs.

"What happened to the people who were summoned by the governor?!"

"Returning to my lord, after knowing that serving the army can be exempted from corvee, the people in Jinyang City are extremely enthusiastic. The city has assembled a standing regiment of 3 militiamen, who can carry supplies and transport the wounded for the army! Officials can call up people at any time, and there are as many as [-] people available!"

Following Yu Yanyi's inquiries one by one, the officials and generals in charge of different affairs reported one by one the affairs they supervised.

"General Tao Jin of the Longwu Army, how do you prepare for the rolling logs and stones ordered by the governor?!"

"My lord... everything is ready!"

"General Zhao An of the Imperial Forest Army, under the orders of the governor, how did you do when you strengthened the city gate and widened the moat?!"

"Return to the adults, everything is done!"

……

Jinyang, the original Bingzhou government, has become an impregnable fortress under Yu Yanyi's government order!

Nurha Chi, if you want to fight, let's face each other under the city of Jinyang!

=============================
In the capital city, under the auspices of the Prince Jian Guo, military supplies are being continuously transported from Gyeonggi to the front line of Jinyang!
"No.17 batch of food is ready!"

"Back... back to Your Highness, the household department is almost out of money to raise food!"

"The money comes out of the palace's private treasury first. Now Jinyang is the foundation of the Great Zhou. As long as Jinyang is not lost! The Great Zhou has the hope of counterattack!"

The prince didn't hesitate at all, "How many horses have arrived at the Jingzhou Racecourse?!"

"Twenty-five thousand horses must be sent to the front!"

……

The crown prince rubbed his slightly red eyes, and continued to ask, "Also, have the [-] pairs of iron armor and [-] pairs of iron shields newly cast in the prison been shipped out?!"

"Your Highness, you forgot that the last batch of ordnance was shipped out two days ago, and it is estimated that it has already left Tongguan!"

The prince thought about it carefully, and then he calmed down.

Yu Yanyi defended against the enemy in Jinyang, and there was one less academician in the court. In addition to the original government affairs, a large amount of work in the capital of the gods was put on the prince of Jianguo.

The prince also lived up to the reputation of being a virtuous man, and handled the government affairs in an orderly manner!
The prince's confidantes and staff did not come out from behind the screen until the officials at all levels had left.

"Your Highness, there is something unclear about this subordinate!"

"speak!"

The prince rubbed his eyebrows and said.

"The king of Chu is currently in Jinyang City, and Yu Yanyi, who is in charge of Jinyang's military preparations, does not support His Highness. Even because of Zhou Mingsheng's murder of Dali Temple Minister Yang Qingyuan that day, Yu Yanyi is also extremely dissatisfied with His Highness. Why? Why not take this opportunity to remove them all?!"

"If King Chu dies, who else can compete with His Highness for the throne?! This is a god-sent opportunity..."

The tactics of the staff are not poisonous. If Jinyang City does not have the current logistical support, it will not last long under the Houjin army.

But before he finished speaking, he stopped. Seeing the prince's slightly cold eyes, he couldn't continue.

"This world, after all, is the world of my Zhu family. I will pretend that I didn't hear what I said today. If there are such rebellious words in the future, then don't blame me for not being sympathetic..."

The prince's tone was very meaningful, and the staff who were familiar with the prince's character knew that he was really angry!

"It's a slip of the tongue, Your Highness, please forgive me!"

The prince waved his sleeves, "You go down!", and then devoted himself to government affairs.

===================
"Woooooo!"

With the sound of a desolate horn, Hou Jin marched!
The mighty army was approaching directly under the east main gate, and the soldiers on the city wall could not see the end of the army at a glance.

Although he experienced a small defeat just now, Nurhachi quickly regrouped with Mohe's main force and marched to the city of Jinyang.

Following Nurha Chi's signal, Kong Youde beside him waved his horse rein jerkyly, and stepped out of the army formation. He wanted to try to persuade him to surrender, and even if he failed, he would also hit the morale of the enemy army.

"Commander of the Zhou army in the city, please show up and answer!" Kong Youde shouted while riding a horse under the city of Jinyang.

The east main gate is facing the main force of Hou Jin, and the person guarding it is Yu Yanyi. He originally didn't intend to answer people, but when he saw that it was a man dressed as a scholar from Zhou Dynasty, Yu Yanyi changed his mind and wanted to see this The Zhou people who collaborated with the enemy and treasoned the country could say something about North and South.

Yu Yanyi didn't speak first, but motioned for a veteran standing beside him to speak.

"If you have any nonsense, you can just talk! After we finish talking, we can start fighting! My big Zhou soldiers are very greedy when they see these military achievements!"

"I don't know which old general is so angry?! Kong Youde is a special envoy entrusted by His Royal Highness Nurhachi, Prince of Dajin, in order to reduce casualties as much as possible for both sides. It is good to stop the army, the old general is like this!" Behavior is inappropriate!"

Kong Youde didn't feel angry either, and said calmly.

"Old man Zhao Tianlin!" Although the old general has white beard and hair, he is energetic and powerful. Although his blood is withered, his martial arts in the Yuanhua realm are still there.

In the Houjin formation, there was a burst of ridicule.

A young commander taunted: "This old man! I'm afraid he won't be 79, but he should be [-]! Zhou Jun really has no one to use, and such an old man will also be sent to the battle!" The commander's words caused a lot of excitement. The sympathy of the generals and soldiers of Dui Mohe,
But the older ones among Mohe's high-level executives and Mohe's ten thousand chiefs had serious expressions on their faces, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

An old commander-in-chief said to the young commander-in-chief: "This old man who is almost 80 years old in front of you, followed Song Guogong Feng Sheng 25 years ago, and brought [-] iron cavalry. He is invincible in Jianzhou. The place was full of the weeping voices of women and children on the grassland. At that time, my general Wanyan Zongqian broke through the Liaodong County of Youzhou in the northern border, and his power shocked the whole area. Zhao Tianlin, who was then the general soldier of Yancheng, led [-] cavalry, and made a surprise attack for [-] miles. General Yan Zonggan's main force, beheaded [-] people, and fought against me, General Mohe."

After Mr. Wan finished speaking, the eyes that looked down upon this person became unbelievable.

Kong Youde didn't care what the Mohe people in the formation were chattering about, and bowed to the city wall: "It turned out that General Zhao was in front of him, the student Kong Youde is so polite!"

Then the topic changed, "Old General Zhao, although he is famous all over the world, in Jinyang City, the old general should not be the master!"

Zhao Tianlin still wanted to speak, but Yu Yanyi had already appeared, "Kong Youde?! You are from the Confucius family!?"

There may be many people from the Confucian family, but there are not many people from the Confucian family. To a certain extent, being born in the Confucian family represents the attitude of Yan Shenggong.

"Exactly!"

"You were born in the Confucian family, so you have read all the sage books into the dog's stomach?"

Yu Yanyi's tone was suddenly harsh.

The contemporary Yan Shenggong is still in Shendu as the Dongge University scholar of the Great Zhou Cabinet. Although this person is not favored by the Taizu and the present, and he is not allowed to participate in politics, he is only appointed as the Imperial Academy. Treated him badly.

What is the Kong family trying to do? !
Surrender to the enemy and treason, and pledge allegiance to the "new king" in advance? !

"Scholar Yu, don't get angry, please listen to the students!"
