The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 444 Human Heart
Cao Bin's work efficiency is very fast. When Pan Mei led the troops to resist the reinforcements of the Northern Han Dynasty, Cao Bin ordered someone to convey their meaning of the Great Song Dynasty to Taiyuan City.

As long as they are willing to surrender, Da Song will reward them heavily, but if they are still stubborn, the day they break the city will be the day they perish.

In addition, they ordered people to spread the news in Taiyuan City to shake the confidence of the people in Taiyuan City in the Northern Han Emperor.

However, Liu Jiyuan, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, only knew about pleasure before, and he could squeeze the people as much as he could. Therefore, for many people in Taiyuan City, they still look forward to the arrival of the Song Dynasty.

The hearts of the people in Taiyuan City are slowly changing, maybe they only need one thing to stimulate them, and they may collapse suddenly.

The wind blew over the sky of Taiyuan City, but it couldn't blow away the oppressive atmosphere.

Zhao Guangyi looked at the solid Taiyuan City, and after a long time, he suddenly ordered Cao Bin and other ministers to be called.

"My dear friends, our food and grass may not last long. If we continue to wait, I'm afraid it will be wrong. Although the hearts of the people in the city are scattered, if we keep doing nothing, they will not leave the city and surrender for a while. I don't know if you love What can you do, sir?"

Martial King Zhao Dezhao frowned slightly, but chose to remain silent.

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Bin said, "How about we concentrate our forces at the north city gate and deal a heavy blow to the enemy to force them to surrender?"

Zhao Guangyi nodded slightly and said, "Is there any other good strategy?"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering what Zhao Guangyi meant. Since they wanted the generals in the city to surrender, all they needed to do was to attack violently once, but why did the Holy One ask if there was any other good strategy?

Just when everyone was puzzled, a person named Li Hanqiong stood up. Li Hanqiong was in his 40s, with a burly figure. At first glance, he seemed like a reckless man, but people who had contact with him We all know that this person is quite proficient in the art of war and is very good at fighting.

Seeing Li Hanqiong standing up, everyone turned their attention to him.

Li Hanqiong bowed slightly to Zhao Guangyi and said: "Your Majesty, I have a plan, maybe I can force the Northern Han generals to surrender, but this plan is quite dangerous."

"Oh, what's the plan?"

"Break the embankment and divert water to irrigate the city. When the time comes, the city of Taiyuan will be filled with ocean. Will those generals surrender?"

Hearing Li Hanqiong's words, Zhao Guangyi felt a little happy. In fact, the method he really wanted to use was this method. Draining the Fen River to irrigate the city would definitely hit the morale of the Northern Han Dynasty. However, this method was indeed as dangerous as Li Hanqiong said. It is quite inappropriate for him, the emperor, to propose it.

"In this way, wouldn't even the people of Taiyuan City be flooded?" Zhao Guangyi looked at Li Hanqiong with an anxious expression on his face, as if Zhao Guangyi was a benevolent monarch who didn't want those innocent people to suffer.

"It is indeed possible to flood the people in the city, but the Holy One doesn't have to worry too much. The water will flood the houses of those people at most. As long as they run away, not many people will be drowned. Besides, we don't have to The breach of the embankment was too violent, just give the guards of Taiyuan City a small punishment first, if this can make them surrender, that would be the best, if not, it will not be too late to break the embankment again."

Li Hanqiong's few words had dispelled Zhao Guangyi's worries, and the ministers around him felt that if they could use this to force the Northern Han to surrender, it would be a good strategy.

Only King Wu Zhao Dezhao showed a sneer, because in his opinion, no matter how high-sounding these people say, flooding Taiyuan City is an inhumane act, and this can become a stain on Zhao Guangyi's life.

Pan Mei's army soon met the army led by Liu Tingyu.

This is the first face-to-face collision between the Northern Han Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty.

Pan Mei looked at the army led by Liu Tingyu and snorted coldly. In his opinion, the soldiers and horses of the Northern Han Dynasty were nothing more than mobs, and there was no basis for it. As long as they faced each other, they would definitely not be the opponents of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Pan Mei also underestimated the enemy. After the two sides met, he immediately ordered an attack.

Seeing that Pan Mei was about to fight as soon as Liu Tingyu came up, his heart sank, but he was the son of a famous general, and he was still able to maintain his composure in this situation. He took out a flag from his arms and waved it in the air a few times. Seeing this, the soldiers in the back scattered in all directions, but when the Song army rushed over, they quickly joined together again.

When they have their rounds, it will be a bit interesting. They are not all rounds, but seven or eight people surround three or five soldiers of the Song Army, and then raise their spears to stab the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. The spears are very long, and they circle again. After the Song soldiers were surrounded, if they were unable to break through in a short period of time, they would soon become dead souls.

This is Liu Jiye's favorite formation, called the eight-man formation. The eight-man formation is very simple. It is to use the fastest way to destroy the enemy's vitality. As long as the fighting continues like this, the enemy's people can be quickly killed. wiped out.

Pan Mei is also a veteran in the battlefield, and soon discovered that if Liu Tingyu's formation continues like this, his Song's vital strength will soon be wiped out. For this reason, he immediately ordered that the Song army should not disperse, and everyone should gather together. It will be difficult for the eight-man formation to exert its strength.

The soldiers of the Song Dynasty gathered together, Liu Tingyu immediately changed his formation, and the soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty used this as a base to quickly surround the soldiers of the Song Dynasty.

Seeing this, Pan Mei knew that going on like this would be very bad for him, so she immediately withdrawn her troops and confronted Liu Tingyu's troops. As long as they were prevented from joining forces with the Northern Han soldiers in Taiyuan City, his mission would be considered complete up.

Song Mingjin withdrew his troops, and Liu Tingyu did not chase them down. Instead, he ordered people to set up camp and rest as quickly as possible. He knew Pan Mei's power very well. Pan Mei was one of the most famous generals in the Song Dynasty. With one against two, if they didn't use their formation properly today, it would be easy for the Song army to destroy them.

Since the troops are not as strong as them, it would be inappropriate to chase them down.

Soldiers and horses set up camp, Liu Tingyu looked at Song Jun in the distance, and couldn't help but sighed. He knew that he had a long way to go, but now that there was a mountain like Pan Mei in front of him, it would be easier said than done if he wanted to join the people in Taiyuan City.

What Liu Tingyu knew better was that Pan Mei suffered a loss from her today, so she must find a way to get back, otherwise Pan Mei would not be able to deal with Zhao Guangyi, and a veteran of the Song Dynasty like Pan Mei was not easy to deal with.

He is a little careless today, but will he be careless tomorrow?
The breath of death hangs over the sky, and everyone's heart is uneasy. A war has just ended, but it seems to have just begun.

Liu Tingyu clenched his fists tightly and took a deep breath.
