() The eighteen gates of the capital.In addition to the four main gates of Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu, there are fourteen auxiliary gates, but even with eighteen wide gates, compared with the majestic and thick Zhuse city wall, it still looks like this city. It is as strict and solid as a tight iron barrel.

Taizu Zhao Kuangyin is recognized as an emperor with great talent and strategy, and this majestic city wall built on flat ground is the capital city ordered by Emperor Taizu to be completed within five years. Many people were not optimistic about the location of the capital and moved it to Bianzhou and then east. , but Taizu was convinced that there was a purple dragon coming from the east to protect the rivers and mountains, so he suppressed the objections of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and finally erected this unprecedented city. Wealthy households no longer feel resentment, but rejoicing.

The civil servants of the Great Zhao Kingdom are deeply favored by the Taizu, but no one will doubt that the Taizu will not respect the generals, because the relief statues of the eighteen gates in the capital are engraved with the eighteen generals who joined the army with the Taizu Although many of the generals were later released by the Taizu to enjoy a comfortable life, but in order to show the great achievements of the generals, the Taizu put the statues of the eighteen generals on the gate of the city forever. Although the status of literati in the imperial court is increasingly important, in fact, warriors have always had the pride of warriors in their hearts.

The imperial palace in the capital has thick red walls, solid masonry foundations, carved beams and painted buildings on white marble railings, flying dragons dancing their claws, and dragon heads on the corners of the eaves, which are magnificent.

But compared with the magnificent atmosphere seen from the outside of the imperial palace, the imperial study room is relatively simple and simple.

There are not expensive bookshelves, desks, dragon chairs, and beds. There are no poems and paintings hanging on the walls. The only thing hanging is a simple long sword without a scabbard.

Sitting on the dragon chair was a handsome man in a large dragon robe. Zhao Kuangyin, whose hair was already a little gray, stared at the other man sitting across from him.

Sitting opposite the emperor was a middle-aged man in light plain clothes, his face looked a bit refined, even his eyebrows were slender like willow leaves, his vermilion lips, and his bright eyes were full of softness. Se, just like the face of a refined civil servant.

But in fact, this person is the military general Yue Wu who makes the whole world look up to him, the Duke of Zhen Guo of the Great Zhao Kingdom.

Zhao Kuangyin's expression was slightly worried, while Yue Wu looked much more calm and indifferent.

"Fei Qing, what I'm wondering is why you refused to go out of the city to break the formation, but followed the Manchu court to defend the city? Could it be that the 20 soldiers and horses in the capital couldn't defeat Wanyan's 15 Qingqi? "

The elegant man smiled, and then replied calmly, "It's not that Yue Wu was afraid of the Yujin people, it's just that this battle came too suddenly. But Wanyan Hongjian approached the city without attacking it. The purpose of stationing inside and outside is not to attack the city, but to wait for the opportunity to attack the city..."

"What do you mean by that? Does Fei Qing think that the Jin people still have backup?" Zhao Kuangyin frowned and asked doubtfully.

"The 20 soldiers and horses of the Jin people broke through the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. There are 15 soldiers and horses in the city, but it is still impossible to launch a siege or violent attack on the 20 soldiers and horses, because Wanyan Hongjian not only scattered the 15 soldiers and horses to guard the eighteen gates, but also distributed the formation Enlarged to thirty miles away, the end-to-end trend."

"Since the Jin people have set up such a defensive formation that is both internal and external, it can be explained that Wanyan Hongjian's purpose is definitely not to storm the capital, but has other plans..." Yue Wu said confidently .

Zhao Kuangyin stroked his long beard habitually, and after thinking for a moment in his eyes, he said, "The 20 cavalry of the Jin people went south. It can be seen that this is the limit of the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom. How could the country still wait for reinforcements? Besides, isn’t he afraid of my King Qin’s teacher?”

Yue Wu said calmly, "If Yue Wu's guess is correct, the reason why Wanyan Hongjian penetrated into the territory of Da Zhao with lightning speed and besieged the capital was actually because of the idea of ​​supporting war with war. To make up for the loss of not crossing the border to hit Grass Valley in autumn..."

"Why do you say that? Don't the people of Bianzhou... oh... what to do!" Zhao Kuangyin frowned when he thought of the city of Bianzhou that was caught in the flames of war, full of distress and resentment .

"Wanyan Hongjian wanted to control the fighting power of the capital and me, and then use 1 people to harass the wealthy Bianzhou, so as to compensate for the national power lost in the long-term war with Liao, and then continue to retreat outside the pass to recuperate. So his I hope that there are more than 1 tiger and wolf divisions in Bianzhou, and...the captives of the Liao Kingdom have not appeared on the battlefield so far, so it must be Wanyan Hongjian who prepared the captive army on the road. It can be used as a death squad when necessary..." Yue Wushen calmly took a brush to mark on the desk and interpreted the prediction of the battle situation between several places...

"If this is the case, then the purpose of the Jin people is to plunder. In terms of Bianzhou's defense capabilities, wouldn't it be a catastrophe if it was defeated? We will send troops to help!" Zhao Kuangyin frowned.

"Your Majesty, don't pin your hopes on the defenders in other places, because if there are defenders from other states and counties who dare to rush to help, then the captive army prepared by the Jin people will definitely take advantage of it and plunder it." Leave quickly..." Yue Wu actually directly refuted Zhao Kuangyin's idea in front of Zhao Kuangyin.

"Then...does Feiqing mean that Bianzhou can only suffer this disaster? This is absolutely impossible. Bianzhou is my arm. If Bianzhou falls, wouldn't it be that the golden man cut a knife on my arm? Could it be that Feiqing really can't solve this situation?" Zhao Kuangyin jumped up from the dragon chair when he was in a hurry, and stared anxiously at Yue Wu, who was like a scholar.

"Your Majesty, be safe and don't be impatient... There is never a predetermined victory or defeat on the battlefield. What's more, in Bianzhou, which is hundreds of miles away, Yue Wu may have a plan in his mind to break the formation, but because the battle is long-term, it cannot be extended. Going out, there are too many variables, so it is better to just guard the main force of the golden man outside the city to prevent it from retreating and disturbing other places. The matter of Bianzhou... Has the Holy One forgotten the battle that happened in Bianzhou a while ago? "Yue Wu said with slightly bright eyes.

Zhao Kuangyin, who looked worried, suddenly had a flash of light on his face, and then he calmed down a little, "Yeah... I almost saw that Bianzhou was also suddenly attacked not long ago but eventually wiped out all the Liao people... Liao Humans and Jinren have the same fighting power, maybe Bianzhou won't fall... Then I will feel at ease..."

"Report --- the emperor, there is a hundred miles to expedite the military situation..."

Only then did Zhao Kuangyin feel relieved, when the eunuch outside the imperial study gave a high-pitched notification.Immediately, the two people in the room looked at each other and their colors changed slightly.

After spreading out the military report from Bianzhou, the faces of Zhao Kuangyin and Yue Wu sank at the same time, and then Yue Wu let out a sigh.

Bianzhou fell and was captured and occupied by Jin soldiers.

"Fei Qing, what if you led 5000 members of your Yue family's army to make a breakthrough under the guard of the soldiers and horses in the capital to rush to the aid of Bianzhou, the defense of the capital, and I will personally guard it in armor, and there will be no mistakes!" Zhao Kuangyin suddenly said in a deep voice. Suddenly, a fierce murderous look that hadn't appeared for many years appeared in his eyes.

Yue Wu smiled wryly and shook his head and said, "If we go at this time, it will be a bit late... Besides, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will never allow Yue Wu to go out of the city and let the Holy One wear armor, and the residents of the city will definitely oppose it..."

Zhao Kuangyin's momentum suddenly softened, and then he murmured in pain in the direction of Bianzhou, "My Bianzhou... my people... what should I do..."

"Maybe there will be a miracle..." Yue Wu comforted him, but even he wasn't sure when he said it.

......

On Qingmu Village outside Bianzhou City, many people are rushing to make 'smoke cannons', and many people have prepared the 'smoke cannons' that can be used, and a dozen or so people composed of Song Yi, Fuyao, Tang Feng and others The team of people quietly descended from Qingmu Village and galloped towards Bianzhou City.

Tang Feng left the team halfway to go to Tangjiazhuang to do work, while the rest of the team continued to rush towards Bianzhou City with heavy faces. These people's faces were not very good, and they didn't even have time to speak on the way It was a waste, just because Song Yi, the leader, never slowed down for a moment.

Non-stop, pointing directly at Bianzhou.
