The sound of cannons outside Youzhou City has never stopped, and the whole city is shaking. There is no one on the street, and the huge city seems to have become a dead city! Only the army mobilizes in groups from time to time.
Smoke was all over the city, the smoke filled the walls, and the walls collapsed in a lot of mess. In the air, a pigeon swooped down into the city in panic.
"Cuckoo!" A Khitan man with a haircut reached into the pigeon cage and grabbed the gray pigeon that had just flown in. Seeing something tied to his leg, he hurriedly untied it carefully and turned back." Feed, I’m going to report the news."
Siu Siwen was standing on a pavilion, watching the rocks falling on the wall in the distance. Standing left and right were Xiao Abudi, Fan Zhongyi and other civil servants, and a group of foot riders guarded the pavilion.
A commoner Khitan man rode over and said a few words in the whistle below, and then a military commander took him up the narrow wooden stairs to the platform.
Xiao Siwen took a look and said: "The two cavalry battalions of the Zhou army have gone south, and a large number of infantry outside of Youzhou have also evacuated south."
"It seems that Brother Yeluxiu made a move in the south, and our threat is suddenly reduced." Fan Zhongyi said.
Siwen Xiao nodded without speaking.
The principle of homing pigeons is that they will fly home. Xiao Siwen has already prepared. In order to pass the news when he is besieged, he mainly feeds homing pigeons in two places, Youzhou City and Danzhou. Needless to say the importance of Youzhou City, Tanzhou is also a key place, because it controls Beikou.
Now that Youzhou City is besieged, the Liao army scouts outside can still send messages back through carrier pigeons. Xiao Siwen could also spread the news to Tanzhou...but could not directly spread the news to Yeluxiu from the air. (After all, homing pigeons are not airplanes.)
Xiao Siwen pondered for a moment and said: "Send a letter with the pigeons from Tanzhou, and write "Report to Brother Xiu, Master Zhou will go south."
"Yes." The man who had just gone upstairs bowed.
Fan Zhongyi said: "Zhou Jun transferred a large number of foot rides from Youzhou. There is a big gap in the besieged area to the east. Our horsemen can go out from Youzhou to take care of Brother Yeluxiu."
Abu Di said coldly: "Youzhou has not many soldiers. Brother Yeluxiu is Laozi's No. 1 in the world. He claims to be the No. 1 Tiger General in the Liao Dynasty. How good is he! How good is he? How can we support him?"
"The overall situation must be the most important thing." Xiao Siwen glanced at Abbott.
After the two major cavalry battalions of the Zhou army were transferred, the Youzhou army from the east did not pose much of a threat; but Yeluxiu suddenly dispatched early this morning, time is too urgent, Xiao Siwen has not yet figured out the Liao army and Zhou The specific situation of the army. He rushed out of the city, and didn't know how to respond to Brother Yeluxiu.
"Yelixiu is young and famous, he is arrogant, but he is really capable of using soldiers. This king still believes in him, and Zhou Jun can't easily deal with him." Xiao Siwen exhaled, "But since there is a chance, you can order the cavalry to follow The east gate harassed the besieged people of Zhou Jun."
Abu Di agreed: "The most important thing for us is to defend Youzhou City."
Shaw Siwen is noncommittal.
……
Guo Shao returned to Xuanren City yesterday after hearing that Yeluxiu had gone south, and was no longer in Youzhou.
This place is located in the middle of the north of Caoqu and south of Youzhou. But it was very quiet at this time, you could not hear the cannons of Youzhou, nor could you hear the sound of horseshoes and fighting near the canal.
In the tranquility, Guo Shao looked into the air, but he could imagine fighting and bleeding on all sides.
In the signing room, there are a row of more than twenty drawings! Some maps are very detailed, with a small hill, a forest, and a village marked on it. In addition, there are two sets of top and bottom structure diagrams of the intelligence system, and the organization diagram of military order transmission.
The room is not big, or there are dozens of people standing or sitting. Some people were writing in "shasha", while others faced Guo Shao in silence.
In the courtyard outside, two or three hundred soldiers and officials from the former camp military mansion stood in line. The emperor was inside. They were very quiet. Everyone was always ready. Once there was a military order, that small room The orders in the signing room can be transmitted to the front in the most rigorous way and the fastest... it can be specific to a hundred people!
In the silence, the atmosphere is inexplicably tense.
At this moment, an official bent over and walked into the signing room. After bowing to the superior, he walked to Wei Renpu and whispered a few words.
Wei Renpu immediately got up and said, "Your Majesty, all the men and horses of Yeluxiu are still in the north section of the Caoqu!"
"Very good." Guo Shao said solemnly.
Wei Renpu said: "Brother Yeluxiu must think that the Dazhou cavalry are mounted infantry on the Guizhou side and in the southern part. Now he is really in the dark and becomes a monkey. As long as he stays hidden for a day. Time is enough for him to drink a pot!"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little warm, and everyone said one after another: "Your Majesty anticipates the enemy like a god, congratulations to your Majesty!"
Guo Shao said calmly: "It's too early to celebrate the event. Yeluxiu has 30,000 cavalry, and the Liao cavalry is not a vegetarian. Even if Li Chuyun's 50,000 cavalry fights with him, it is not Ten percent sure you can win a big victory! Wait a minute."
His bright gaze is filled with nervous attention, but his face is neither happy nor angry, just walking slowly and thoughtfully on the spot.
Up to now, Guo Shao doesn't have to do anything, just wait. But this kind of waiting is really difficult.
He wanted to go back and be quiet, but he was reluctant to leave because he wanted to hear the result in the front yard as soon as possible.
After a long time, Guo Shao breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to himself: The worst result is to let go of Yelu Xiu brother!
Today’s battle was not within the strategy, but Yeluxiu fought wildly and aggressively, and unexpected fighters appeared...
The original strategy was that the main force of the Liao army would continue to attack Youzhou and exert pressure without going south; when the main force of the Liao army went south for the second time, it retreated to the two lines of defense and continued to consume.
Consumption until the Liao army can't afford it!
It is impossible for Yeluxiu's people to cut off Zhou Jun's food supply line, and it will cause some losses at most. Guo Shao has laid his blood this time. The front-line cities are hoarding a large amount of food and grass. Even if the rear side does not ship the food for two to three months, the short-distance supply line from Xuanren City to Youzhou can guarantee the frontline siege!
The only way that Yeluxiu can actually relieve Xiao Siwen's pressure is to harass the siege army. But that was not easy. The Zhou Army cavalry was enough to protect the surroundings; even if they were occasionally attacked by Yeluxiu, they would not be able to cause a substantial blow to the army.
Guo Shao said: In this battle, I am lucky, but I lost my life. That's all!
Guo Shao suddenly smiled, looking back at the left and right, and said: "What we are doing now will be passed on for a thousand years in the future! I will be able to finish this important event with you, and I will never forget it."
Everyone said one after another: "The ministers and others know the importance..." "It is fortunate for the three lives to be shameful for the country under your majesty's command..."
