Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 396

At the head of the city of Yunzhou, Wu Luan, the judge of the Datong Army, stood on the head of the city, looking at the Khitan camp in the distance in the snow and remained silent.

There was wind and snow, but it was too small to freeze the Khitan people away.

If Yelude had only come to encircle Yunzhou last year, the two blizzards alone would have caused heavy losses to the Khitan people and they would have withdrawn from the siege.

Now in Yunzhou City, although there is sufficient food and grass, and there are still more than [-] defenders, people's hearts are floating.

He, Wu Luan, is just a Jiedu magistrate. Although he was elected as the leader, he lacks prestige after all, and he has no way or ability to do many things.

Sighing, Wu Luan looked to the southwest. If the person in his position at the moment was the Yong'an Army, things would be very different.

The Zhe family is a wealthy family in Yunzhou. They have settled in Yunzhou since the Southern and Northern Dynasties. No matter in terms of network or prestige, Zhe Congyuan can convince everyone.

But he, Wu Luan, can't do it. After the siege lasts for a long time, people's hearts will not be as united as before.

After all, as long as they are human beings, they all cherish their lives. The high-ranking officials hope to keep their wealth, and ordinary people also hope to live a normal life.

The people from Yunzhou were frightened by the killing and wounding of hundreds of Khitan soldiers and Yelu Deguang. They couldn't believe the discipline of the Khitan army outside the city, so they had to fight together.

If Yelu Deguang personally came out now and vowed never to pursue it, Wu Luan believed that Yunzhou City would not survive five days.

Where to go, Wu Luan has no idea now, so he can only secretly make up his mind, and at worst, he will die in this Yunzhou City!
When he was feeling sad, shouts, cursing, and the sound of horseshoes suddenly came from outside the west gate.

Immediately afterwards, there were screams and the sound of the bowstring vibrating. It seemed that someone had passed through the Khitan army tent and was coming towards Yunzhou City.

It has been almost two months since Yunzhou was besieged, and all contact with the outside world has been cut off. If there is any disturbance, the whole city will pay attention.

Soon, dozens of generals ran to the Ximen tower to look around.

In the distance, a few figures appeared vaguely. They were wearing white capes, and their war horses were also clear white.

It seemed to be integrated with the whiteness of the sky and the earth in the distance, and it was completely different from the Khitans in leather robes who were chasing after them. Perhaps it was their whiteness that allowed them to break through the blockade.

When they got closer, everyone could see clearly that there were about a dozen riders coming towards the west city gate.

They cooperated very skillfully. A dozen or so riders could form an open crane wing array. Whether it was turning around to shoot or stopping to shoot, there would be an obvious sequence of bows and bows.

Arrows from more than a dozen bows shot continuously, knocking the chasing Khitans to the ground.

Among them were two young generals in white robes who were particularly brave. They held rhubarb hard bows. Every time they stretched the bowstring, they would surely shoot down a Khitan cavalryman.

When they ran to the city of Yunzhou, at least 30 Khitan people were shot and killed. They didn't dare to surround them for a while, but gathered in the distance to make noise.

"Jiedu Envoy of the Yong'an Army, Zhede, the second son of Duke Zhede, is willing to be here. Please come and answer the question!"

A white-robed knight under the city opened his pocket, revealing a slightly green face.

In Yunzhou City, there are still people from Zhejia's branch house. He took a closer look, and then shouted excitedly: "That's right, this is Zheerlang Jun of my Zhejia, wish brother!"

"This is Wu Luan, why did Mr. Zhe Erlang come here? But he was sent by Mr. Zhe Ling?" Wu Luan asked hopefully.

Everyone knows that the emperor in Tokyo is unreliable, and Taifu Liu in Hedong probably won't offend the Khitan people because of them.

The only one who can do a little bit of hope is the Yong'an Army Jiedushi who is originally from Yunzhou and who also faces the threat of the Khitans, and the governor of Fuzhou Zhe Congyuan.

"Yes!" Zhe Dejian replied loudly: "Not only did people from Zhe's family come, but a certain one is now serving as an envoy of Jiedu in Longyou, Hexi, and an envoy of the Yi Army, under the order of His Royal Highness King Han, to break into Yunzhou to tell all the lords.

King Zhang sent [-] iron cavalry to join forces with a certain Zhe family, and they have smashed the Khitan Zuopishi army by the Hun River, beheading more than a thousand people. "

"The sky is endless and we are waiting for the people of China! His Royal Highness King Han of Hexi is a hero who returned from the eighteen states. With his old man leading the troops, Yunzhou City will be saved." Next to Wu Luan, a man in black The scribe in the robe looked up to the sky and laughed.

Well, I, Zhang Dawang, haven't arrived at 28, and I've already become an old man.

Although Zhang Zhao is well-known for his return from the Eighteen States, people in Yunzhou in the far north do not know him well.

Many people thought that Zhang Zhao was a prestigious old loyal minister like Guo Ziyi or Zhang Yichao, but they never thought that King Zhang was not yet [-] years old.

"Mr. Zheerlang, please follow a certain red flag to the West Weng City!" Wu Luan was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the school next to him to hold a large red flag and guide the dozen or so cavalrymen below the city to enter the city from Weng City.

West Wengcheng is the only city gate in Yunzhou that has not been closed. Under the guidance of the red flag, Zhe Deyuan and others entered from West Wengcheng. As soon as they passed through Wengcheng, the residents of Yunzhou who heard the news surrounded them. up.

While Wu Luan sent people to guide them, he made people shout that the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court had arrived, and King Han personally led tens of thousands of elite soldiers from Hexi, and they had crossed the Hun River.

Immediately, the colorful flags of Yunzhou City were flying in the snow, there was a lot of cheers, the old and the weak, women and children sang and danced, and children ran around excitedly.

They have just passed a quiet New Year's Day, and this will seem to make up for the joy.

However, compared with the jubilation outside, the atmosphere in Yunzhou Datong Military Office is much more depressing.

After Zhe Deyuan and others entered the city, Wu Luan couldn't wait to ask: "But the emperor ordered His Highness King Han to lead Hexi troops to the east?"

It is reasonable for Wu Luan to ask such a question. In this world, the siege of Yunzhou must be relieved unless the emperor of Tokyo issues an edict.

Let Liu Zhiyuan, the Jiedu envoy of Hedong, and Zhang Zhao, the envoy of Longyou Jiedu in Hexi, join forces to march from the south to the west, so that there is a possibility of forcing back Yeludeguang's personal conquest.

Zhe Deyuan remained silent, looking at the hopeful eyes of Wu Luan and the generals and officials in the Yamen, he couldn't say "no".

But he couldn't say it, Li Xiaojie, the eldest grandson of Li Zhongchao in Huizhou, who followed him, couldn't feel the sadness, because he was a party member, and he saw no one but Zhang Zhao.

It was also because he didn't feel aggrieved, King Zhang ruled Longyou in Hexi, rampaging everywhere, only the Guiyi army beat people, and no one else beat the Guiyi army.

As an officer that King Zhang focused on training, and a member of the Yier Army, Li Xiaojie couldn't understand it, and he didn't feel this kind of aggrieved, so he raised his hand.

"So that Judge Wu and everyone know that Yunzhou was sold by the Emperor of Tokyo, how could he send troops to rescue him?

This time there are soldiers and horses coming, it is Han Wang Renyi, who can't bear to see my land of China lost in Khitan, only then can I draw thousands of cavalry and go eastward desperately. "

Although Wu Luan was prepared in his heart, his expression changed, as if struck by lightning.

Everyone in the office was also in an uproar, those who were silent, those who wept, and some even began to have different plans in their minds.

"The imperial court has no soldiers to come, even if the King of Han sends all his troops to the west of the river, how can he defeat the Khitan Lord himself!"

Wu Luan showed a look of despair, this hope came quickly, and the blow came even faster.

Li Xiaojie bowed his hands to the people in the government office, "It is indeed impossible to rely on me to drive away the Khitan from the Hexi army of the rebel army, besides, if we drive away today and come back tomorrow, what can we do?

But you have already hated the Khitan king, because the Khitan people are wolves, Yunzhou has long since had no way out, once the city is destroyed, life will be in danger.

Fortunately, my great king is benevolent and righteous. Although he cannot keep Yunzhou City, he is willing to do everything in his power to save everyone! "

When everyone in Yunzhou heard this, they immediately hoped again. They squeezed away Wu Luan, surrounded Li Xiaojie and started asking questions.

"If you want to be saved, it's actually not that difficult! Now that Khitan has seen the capabilities of Yunzhou's soldiers and civilians, they will definitely not be able to break through Yunzhou City until the spring is warm and the flowers bloom and they build siege equipment.

In addition, my lord stationed troops near the Hun River, how could the Khitan dare to launch a fierce attack?

The most trouble-free way is nothing more than to threaten the imperial court and let the emperor issue an edict to let Yunzhou City out. "

Li Xiaojie said slowly, the generals in Yunzhou also have good faces, they have only these three 4000 people, they have blocked the light of Yelude who was personally recruited in haste, at least for now, there is nothing they can do.

Seeing that everyone in Yunzhou was mobilized, Li Xiaojie went on to say: "So all you need is to work together to defend this Yunzhou city.

With our Hexi soldiers and horses watching from the side, Yelu Deguang must have compromising intentions. If we let the city go without hurting anyone in Yunzhou city or relocating the people, the Khitan people should agree. "

After Li Xiaojie finished speaking, a general cupped his hands and said, "In this way, the people of Yunzhou can be saved.

But let's wait, kill and wound hundreds of Khitan soldiers, even if the Khitan ruler is let go today, how can we take revenge after I hand over the military power? "

Li Xiaojie showed his big white teeth and smiled, "Don't worry, general, my lord Zhang Dawang of Hexi has just defeated the Li family of the Dingnan Army. You are all Han heroes who fought against Khitan. If you are willing, the king would like to invite you to settle down in Xiazhou .

When the king came, he told the young general that anyone willing to go to Xiazhou would be promoted to a higher level, given five hundred acres of land, and several male and female servants from the Pingxia Department.

All soldiers and common people also have rewards for their great achievements in protecting Yunzhou. "

Wu Luan was shocked immediately, he looked at Li Xiaojie in disbelief, the Li family of the Pingxia Department of Dingnan Army for hundreds of years just disappeared?
However, the most people in the office still looked at Zhe Deyuan. In the eyes of these people, they were not familiar with King Zhang of Hexi, and only Mr. Erlang of the Zhe family was the most trusted by them.

"That's right! King Zhang Tianzong Yingzhu, when I was waiting to defeat the Khitans by the Hun River, the Hexi soldiers had already besieged Xiazhou for several months, and it was only a matter of time before they broke the city.

Before that, in the Battle of Baiyanchi, the Dingnan Army's [-] troops were defeated, and the armored cavalry and armored soldiers had already been wiped out. "

Zhe De is willing to bow his hand. Although he did not go to Xiazhou, his brother Zhe Dejian lost Xiazhou. He saw with his own eyes that the Guiyi army beat Li Yiyin to no avail, so he could only retreat to the Inner West City.

Just talking about Hexi soldiers cannot give the generals of Yunzhou an image of reference, but when it comes to the Li family of the Dingnan Army, everyone will understand.

It turns out that the Hexi Guiyi Army is already so powerful!It can wipe out the Dingnan army with [-] soldiers and horses, armored cavalry, and three to four thousand armored soldiers.

Li Xiaojie bowed his hands to Wu Luan at this time, "When the spring begins, the King of Han's special envoy will come to Yunzhou, and Judge Wu can send someone to meet him.

At the end of the future, Your Majesty has already said that Judge Wu is a loyal minister and righteous man. If he is willing to go to Xiazhou, he should be rewarded with the Sima of the Han Palace and the real title of Xiazhou Inspector! "
