Chasing King

As soon as the fake grain and grass from Datong arrived, Fengye was ready to besiege the city with great fanfare.

He sent tens of thousands of troops to blockade Taiyuan's traffic fortress, stationed his camp within five li of the outskirts of the city, besieged the city and built several sentries. As long as the enemy's situation was found in one place, he could quickly inform the whole army with the flag and beacon fire.

At this time, the siege, on the one hand, made Taiyuan think that they were waiting for Datong's food, and now everything is ready; on the other hand, it made them not expect the crisis of rongyuanshan granary; on the other hand, even if rongyuanshan asked for help, Taiyuan army did not dare to go out of the city easily.

However, Yan Sikong guessed that as long as they besieged the city, Shen Hexuan would probably realize that rongyuanshan granary was fighting alone. Although it might be dangerous, he would try to inform the granary guards that they were ready, and they would attack when the enemy didn't have time to prepare.

It was just autumn, and it was rainy season. On the third day of the siege, it began to rain continuously. Although the rain was not big, it was thick and it didn't stop for a day. It was really annoying.

The 500 soldiers who are going to climb the mountain are all ready to go. They are all the most young and strong soldiers selected by Fengye. Fengye will reward them with a lot of money. They have high morale.

In this war, Fengye was handed over to Qian Cunxi and Yuan Shaoxu. A few days ago, que Ji won Pingliang and Fengxiang successively and made many achievements. In his letter to Fengye, he didn't ask for reward, but politely asked Fengye to promote his elder brother. Obviously, yuan Shaoxu went to ask que Ji. Although que Ji lost his memory, he didn't have a deep friendship with this elder brother and didn't necessarily know his name But he was generous in nature and sold the favor to Fengye.

Fengye naturally can not refuse que forget, gave yuan Shaoxu this opportunity.

Qian Cunxi led the army and set out on a rainy night.

That night, Feng Ye and Yan Sikong did not sleep at night, waiting for the news on Rongyuan mountain.

At that time, the beacon fire for help suddenly lit up on Rongyuan mountain. They were so happy that they immediately ordered Wang Shen to reorganize his troops. As long as Taiyuan army went out of the city to rescue them, they immediately stopped on the way.

The beacon fire has been burning until dawn, the gate of Taiyuan has not been opened from beginning to end, and the spies in return say that Qian Cunxi and Yuan Shaoxu have successfully captured the granary of rongyuanshan. When climbing the mountain, more than 20 soldiers fell off the cliff. After climbing the mountain, they fought with the enemy and suffered heavy casualties. Only by laying down the rope ladder, could the army climb the mountain.

But after going up the mountain, they found that the granary in rongyuanshan was not as rich as they thought, and the garrison was only a few thousand. Most of the grain had already been transferred.

Feng Ye's face gradually changed from joy to anger: "it must have been transferred before the siege, Shen Hexuan, the traitor."

Yan Sikong comforted: "even if they have transferred most of the grain and grass, it is also very important to capture Rongyuan mountain. It is the grain road between shuntianfu and the Central Plains, and also the last grain road in Taiyuan. Since then, we have completely isolated Taiyuan. Isn't that good news?"

"Good news, of course." Feng Ye took a deep breath. "It's just that I didn't snatch a lot of their food as you and I thought."

"I know you're holding your breath when Taiyuan is defeated. We'll get it back sooner or later. There's no need to rush for a while."

Feng Ye frowned: "however, in this way, our food and grass are always insufficient."

"The autumn harvest is coming soon, and the grain officials are trying to raise food and grass from all over the country. It's only for a while. I think Taiyuan should be more anxious than us at this time."

Feng Ye didn't answer, his eyes were full of worry.

In fact, Yan Sikong's last words, even he could not eat them. One of them did not dare to go out of the city, the other did not dare to attack the city, but there must be more food and grass in Taiyuan than they did. How long will the siege last? Every day, it can be said that they spend money like dirt, and Taiyuan is clearly able to bring them down.

Soon, yuan Shaoxu brought back a batch of enemy's grain and grass from Rongyuan mountain and invited him to do some good work. Although there was not much food and grass, it was better than nothing. Fengye also took advantage of the opportunity to reward him and sold the favor to que forgetting.

After the first World War, Fengye began to take turns of provocation. Today he sent envoys to seek peace, and tomorrow he sent generals to yell. Shen Hexuan is very calm. When the envoys come, they treat each other with courtesy. When the generals come, they don't care. After several times, the envoys don't dare to go. It's not that there is any troublesome behavior in Taiyuan. It's that they say that Shen Hexuan's mouth doesn't work, but they are humiliated.

Shen Hexuan also asked the messenger to bring back a word, if you want to talk about peace, unless Yan Sikong comes to the door in person.

Yan Sikong was really bold, but he didn't act rashly. He risked his life to go to Chahar because he was more or less sure, but he was determined not to go to Taiyuan because he knew he would die.

The two sides continue to be in this stalemate.

During this period, he got the news from Yunnan that he left Zhongqing with Prince ningshizi and marched into the Central Plains. At this time, the momentum was strong and he had broken two cities in succession. Now he was preparing to attack Yongzhou. Under the banner of the great prince, there were many responding men, and his troops were also expanding greatly.

Fengye sent envoys to xuning to see Prince Yong. If Prince Yong could send troops to help him, Taiyuan would be broken.

-

every day, Yan Sikong looks at the distant city of Taiyuan, with countless plots in his heart.

If they can't win Taiyuan within this year, they will withdraw next year because of the shortage of food and grass, and their efforts in this year will be in vain. Naturally, they can't wait for the end.While waiting for Xu Ning's news, Yan Sikong found that after the autumn harvest, a large amount of straw was left in the field. In order to continue farming next year, they must be removed, and the best way is to burn them.

Yan Si gave birth to a plan and ordered the farmer to transport all the straw from his field to Daying. Within a few days, a mountain like pile of straw was gathered.

The soldiers took the straw pile outside Taiyuan city and poured tar mixed with poison. As long as the wind blows in the direction of Taiyuan City, a pile of straw will be ignited.

Because the poison turned into smoke and spread in the air, it was not very toxic, but it was enough to make people cry and their eyes red and swollen. After burning for several days, the soldiers in Taiyuan city were miserable and wrapped up their faces every day.

Finally, one day, a general in the city was full of indignation and could not bear to be humiliated. He rushed out of the gate of the city by himself and wanted to fight Cao Yu who came to scold him.

Cao Yu was overjoyed. He yelled and scolded every day, but no one paid attention to him. He was going to be sick for a long time. He immediately promised to compete with the general alone, and he would live and die. Even if he was defeated, his subordinates would not be allowed to fight.

So two people, one with a gun, one with a knife, in Taiyuan City, above the horse, roaring fight up.

Both of them are in their prime of life. They are both brave and good at fighting. This battle is wonderful, and it's hard to distinguish them.

Feng Ye and Yan Sikong specially came to watch the battle.

In the end, Cao Yu is a little better than others and cuts the man down. He is also stabbed in the waist by a long gun.

Yan Sikong saw that Cao Yu was driving his horse around and wanted to kill the man with a knife. He quickly called out: "general Cao, keep the man under the knife!"

Cao Yu is not satisfied with Yan Sikong, but because of Feng Ye's presence, it's not good to disobey him openly.

Fengye ordered the general to be tied up and taken back to the camp.

Yan Sikong said with a smile: "Shen Hexuan is afraid to be angry."

Fengye was also very happy: "we were given a prisoner of war by the blue sky, and we were a general, not bad."

The general's surname was Zhou Mingke. He was really tough. He clamored that Fengye would rather die than surrender.

Feng Yefei didn't kill him, but asked the doctor to heal him. He specially prepared a tent for him to treat him as a guest of honor.

Yan Sikong inquired and learned that this man was a general in Taiyuan. Although he killed the enemy bravely, he was reckless and impulsive. As early as when they were provoking, he invited Shen Hexuan to fight twice, which was rejected by Shen Hexuan. After several days of being poisoned by straw, he finally broke out and went out of the city to fight Cao Yu.

Although Fengye temporarily put him in the camp, he can't help doubting whether this man would be a bitter meat stratagem just like they sent Cao Yu to Taiyuan at the beginning. Yan Sikong had thought for a long time: "I don't think it's like Shen Hexuan's first visit to Taiyuan, and his positions and grades are all under Luo Ruoxin. Now, Luo Ruoxin is in charge of the army and horse power in Taiyuan. Shen Hexuan is a military strategist, and he wants to go to Taiyuan In order to build a power in the army, he must make sure that he is forbidden. He is the last to see Zhou Ke go out of the city in such a blatant defiance. What's more, Zhou Ke is not very clever. If he is trying to make a plan, I'm afraid he can't escape my eyes. Shen Hexuan should not be so stupid. "

Feng Ye nodded: "I don't think it's deceitful. If I can accept Zhou Ke, I can know how much food there is in Taiyuan."

"I'll wait for him. When he gets better, there's a way to deal with him."

Feng Ye touched his chin: "no, I'll go and see him now."

"Not bad."

At the end of Fengye, Yan Sikong reads the official documents in the account. Suddenly, a figure rushes in and doesn't even report.

Yan Sikong raised her head in surprise. It turned out that she was SA Ren, the side room of Fengye. She was followed by a helpless bodyguard.

"Madame." Yan Sikong stood up and bowed to sa Ren.

Sarin looked around: "where's my husband?"

Yan Sikong said with no expression: "madam, the wolf king has an order. No women are allowed to go in and out of the barracks. I'll send my wife back." His tone turned cold, "and severely punished his wife into the camp of a cadre of soldiers."

"Oh? Are you going to punish General Wang severely? " Saren provocatively raised his chin, "and, I'm not a woman, I'm my wife, wolf king's military order is to command the three armies, not to command me."

"If you go up, you'll be ineffective. As a commander, you have to set an example. I'll go to General Wang Shen to ask about it." In fact, Yan Sikong had guessed who SA Ren was put in. Wang Shen, an old member of the Feng family army, was deeply favored by Feng Jianping. At the beginning, he escaped from Datong with Feng Chang and became more intimate with him. The more obviously Feng Chang entrusted him with a new task, that is, to let SA Ren become a descendant of Feng as soon as possible.

This is really a headache for Yan Sikong. Wang Shen is one of the most invincible people in the army. During the period when Fengye was injured, it would be difficult for him to implement many government decrees without Wang Shen's help.

Saren waved his hand and wrote arrogance on his pretty face: "I don't care about this. I grew up in my Khan's barracks. What's so great about the barracks? Why can't women go in and out, play with knives and guns, and fight on horseback? I don't lose men." She inclined Ni Yan think empty, "maybe I am more like a man than you."Yan Sikong said: "my wife is really a heroine. I feel inferior to her. But the military order is like a mountain. Please leave immediately. Otherwise, I can only send my wife back to Yanzhou by force."

Saren was so angry that she turned blue. Step by step, she came to Yan Sikong and said coldly, "Yan Sikong, you have taken my place. Do you have children?"

Yan Sikong arched his hand: "that's not natural."

"You..." Saren pushed Yan Sikong hard, showing her bold and unconstrained character. "Men in Central Plains are better than women. They serve people like prostitutes. I'm bah!"

Saren's voice was so loud that both inside and outside the camp could hear clearly. Several bodyguards turned blue and knew that they were in trouble.

Yan Sikong looks calm: "madam, please go back." He looked coldly at the bodyguard, "escort my wife back to Yanzhou."

"Yes."

Saren haughtily raised his chin: "Yan Sikong, you are my enemy, I Khan said, we must defeat our enemy."

Yan Sikong said with a faint smile: "madam, you are not enough to be my enemy, and I will not treat you as my enemy, please." He made a please sign.

Sarin swept away angrily.
