Standing on Longshan Mountain, you can overlook Liaoxi Fortress and the whole area, because Xu Jun’s fortress was built on a flat place near the sea.
Xiao Siwen watched the scene in front of him in the wind. The sea stretched out to the horizon. On the gray coast, the Liaoxi Fort lying on the ground seemed to be a pattern carved on the earth.
Amidst the sound of the wind, the noise of the crowd is faintly mixed. Groups of people and horses on the flat ground are close to Liaoxi Fort. They are surrounded by a group of Xi soldiers and Jurchen soldiers. From a high place, it looks like a group of ants carrying insects. . At first glance, the crowd did not seem to move, but after staring for a while, you could find that they were approaching Liaoxi Fort.
Suddenly, I saw fire shining on the fortress, and strings of white smoke came out! After a short while, I heard "Rumble..." cannons sounded from the wind.
There was the biggest movement on Liaoxi Fort. There was no battle between Xi Bing and Jurchen Bing, only one of the ladders collapsed. The thick smoke on the fortress spurted for several rounds, and the ladder broke and collapsed in the distance, and the crowd gradually spread out to the surroundings, like a dress frightened by harassment. Before long, almost all the people retreated to a place far away from Liaoxi Fort.
When Xiao Siwen saw this, he turned and left the mountain, and said to a Khitan man: "You don't have to attack any more, close your troops! Wait until the afternoon, then send someone to persuade you to surrender."
Yang Dagon stepped forward and said: "Duke Xiao, if you persuade you to surrender like this, Xu Jun will not surrender."
Xiao Siwen said: "It's okay to try, tell them that Emperor Xu Guo is about to die, so I can no longer care about them."
Yang Dagon said in deep thought: "Last time the person we went to persuade to surrender was killed, the defender Xu Jun here was very resolute. The final general felt that as long as there were military supplies and food supplies, Xu Jun would definitely not surrender... There is a canal on the side, which has not been completed yet, but it can accommodate small boats. We have to find a way to cut off the canal and prevent Xu Jun from getting through the sea, before we can force the Liaoxibao defender to surrender."
Xiao Siwen said: "Liaoxi Fort is one mile away from the sea, and the whole section of the canal is under shelling. How to cut it off?"
Yang Dagon said: "We have to start from this place to find a way."
Xiao Siwen snorted, noncommittal. After surrounding Liaoxi Fort for so long, if he could think of a way, why bother thinking now?
Xiao Siwen said: "Look at the old man, don't just stare at the earthen fort. You have to look at the big picture. If Xu people want to build the fort in this way and occupy my vast Bohai Sea (Northeast), it will not cost ten or eight years. It will not be effective! Their strategy is not like this. Otherwise, what did Li Chuyun lead his army to the northwest?"
Yang Dagon nodded and said: "Xu Guoren still want to rely on cavalry, and expand west for war horses."
Xiao Siwen said: "That's right. He|mother|, Xu Guonan won't take up so much land, he just stares at our glamorous place."
Yang Dagon said calmly: "If Tiesmith Guo can't survive the ghost gate, these threats are not a problem."
The two looked at each other.
They stopped talking, came down from the mountain, took a team of elite riders, and went back to Yingzhou.
...As soon as I arrived at Yingzhou, someone immediately said to Xiao Siwen: "Fan has something important to report."
Siu Siwen faced a pair of bronze mirrors, first arranged his hat and collar, without turning his head back: "Let him wait in the lobby, my father will arrive later."
He said that the attendant took the hot towel in his hand, wiped the dust off his face, and twisted his fingers|to smooth the beard on his lips before heading to the lobby. When I arrived in the hall, I saw Yelu Xiezhen, Yang Dagon, and Fan Zhongyi were already clamoring there.
Yelü said diagonally: "Why does Yang Ye run?!"
Siwen Xiao immediately felt that he was very interested in this matter. At this time, someone said: "Duke Xiao is here." Everyone bowed with their hands on their chests, Fan Zhongyi still clasped his fists, but didn't say anything. This was a dumb gift.
Xiao Siwen sat down steadily in the upper position first, no matter what, his demeanor and position should be paid attention to at all times, even the general Yelu slantingly in front of him has to be a little shorter.
Fan Zhongyi stepped forward and respectfully said: "The next official got the news that on the first day of August, Yang Ye, who was ordered to enter Beijing, suddenly fled from Beijing. This is quite strange."
Siu Siwen asked: "How do you know that he was running away?"
Fan Zhongyi said: "Before he left Beijing, he rented a horse from a carriage and only brought one entourage, which happened to be seen by our people. Then he tried to inquire about it, and Yang Ye even had money when he rented a horse. Without enough, he pressed the jade pendant into the carts and horses, showing that the trip was very hasty. The eyeliner near the city gate also confirmed that Yang Ye left Tokyo in a panic.
In addition, a total of three small officials in Kaifeng Prefecture and Xuzhou Prefecture were spared from the Xu court’s investigation. Kaifeng Prefecture officials secretly reported that Yang Ye’s entourage in Tokyo was detained on the first day of August, and Xu Guo’s official government sent a quick horse. Going out of Beijing and going north, I guess it was to stop Yang Ye.
The three small officials told the scout outpost that they hoped to move their family to live in Liao. "
Yelü Xie Zhen said calmly: "Fan's affairs were re-used by Duke Xiao and occupied important positions. The Khitan nobles are dissatisfied."
Fan Zhongyi whispered: "Xiao Gongyan, as long as he can poison|kill Guo Blacksmith, please Khan give him the surname Xiao, living in a Khitan hereditary noble..."
Xiao Siwen interrupted him immediately and said: "Tiesmith Guo is dead. Let's talk about it... Those few people have something to do in Xu Guoda. What use is coming to Liao State?"
Fan Zhongyi hurriedly said: "Duke Xiao and Marshal Yelu are justified. But so many people were killed a while ago, and they are probably scared."
Fan Zhongyi paused and said, "On the day Yang Ye ran away on the first day of August, two other things happened. Governor Xu Zhouduan was convicted of conspiracy and escorted back to Tokyo. The great dynasty of hundreds of people fainted. Soon afterwards, the protector of the country Luo Yanhuan arbitrated himself in Dali Temple. Guo Shao seemed to no longer look at the dynasty and was still supervised by the great talisman."
Xiao Siwen stroked the soft mink earmuffs on the hat, and muttered: "It's interesting..."
Yang Dagon said: "Could it be that Yang Ye also colluded with Zhou Duan and ran away temporarily after learning that Zhou Duan had been convicted of a serious crime?"
Fan Zhongyi shook his head and said politely: "No. Yang Ye was the surrender of the Eastern Han Dynasty (Northern Han). How many years did he surrender to the Tokyo Puppet Empire? He doesn't even have any contacts in Tokyo. What is the relationship with Xu Zhou Zhou Duan? If Tiejiang Guo wants to run Yang Ye in this way, Yang Ye probably has no chance to run."
Yang Dagon is still in white body, a little dissatisfied with Fan Zhongyi's tone, but he didn't say anything.
Yelü Xiezhen agrees very much: "Fan's matter makes sense."
Xiao Siwen pondered for a long time, frowning and said: "After Guo Tiesmith was poisoned, what happened to the court of Xu Kingdom?" After that, looking at Fan Zhongyi, although this servant is from Youzhou, he is also a Han Chinese. Maybe I have a better understanding of the Han Chinese.
However, Fan Zhongyi was a little bit troubled, and said: "Let’s see the results. Two national princes, one prime minister, Zheng Wang Guo Zongxun (Chai Zongxun), Shouzhou defense envoy Guo Jin, Xu Zhou and Shi Zhou Duan did not die. Death is almost the same, and thousands more are implicated.
The Governor of Xu Zhou, Shi Zhouduan, and a large group of people are very clear because they implicated the puppet Emperor Guo Shao's poisoning case. It’s no surprise that Prime Minister Fan Zhi and other party members wanted to fish in troubled waters and help|plant Guo Zongxun to restore the Great Zhou...Xu Guo officially said that those people had colluded and conspired together, but Fan Zhi and Zhongli had nothing to do with Daliao. , And did not have any contact with the Zhao family, so the Xu Guo court report was not accepted.
The most strange thing is how did the confidantes of the two national fathers and Guo Tiejiang die? "
Xiao Siwen glanced at Fan Zhongyi, then nodded: "Fan's affairs do have real talents, and they are very reasonable."
Fan Zhongyi was greatly encouraged, clasped his fists, and said again: "Li Chuyun killed Daliao's messenger, and he didn't seem to be rebellious. But he was killed by a close aide. Why did that aide Zhongli kill Li Chuyun? "
Yelü Xianzhen asked: "Is that the one we arranged?"
Fan Zhongyi said: “It’s only been a few years since the official deployment, how can such an important chess piece be arranged in the Guogong’s house? This man’s background is very strange. He was once under the rebel general Li Yun’s subordinate, but after Xu Guo’s government interrogation There is no problem, so let it go. Li Chuyun dared to use his estimation and checked that there was no problem."
Xiao Siwen thoughtfully said: "Is it revenge for the old lord Li Jun? Isn't there someone in Han'er's book... or he ruined his face and tried to assassinate the old lord's enemy."
Fan Zhongyi said calmly: "Pre-Qin Yurang."
"Yes, yes!" Xiao Siwen said suddenly.
Fan Zhongyi said: "Back to Xiaogong, due to different dynasties and different folk customs, there were renouncements in the pre-Qin period. I am afraid that there is no renouncement at this time. Moreover, Li Yun's death has nothing to do with Li Chuyun." /
Yang Dagon and Yelv Xiezhen scratched their foreheads at the same time.
Xiao Siwen said: "Is it because Guo Tiejiang is going to kill Li Chuyun?"
Fan Zhongyi pondered and said: "It is very possible...There are not many people who can kill Guo Duke, but Guo Tiejiang is easy."
Xiao Siwen stood up and walked for a few steps, then turned around and said: "Except for the tyrant|Jun Yelujing, Guo Tiesmith. My father always ponders this person, but there is always the feeling that killing Li Chuyun like this It's not like Guo Tiejiang's style."
Fan Zhongyi said: "It's hard to say that Han'er fights inwardly. They are all unscrupulous."
Xiao Siwen asked again: "What's the matter with Luo Yanhuan, protector of the country?"
Fan Zhongyi thought for a while: "Luo Yanhuan and Li Chuyun are friends of life and death..."
"Oh!" Xiao Siwen was startled at first, then he thought about it carefully, again at a loss.
At this time, Fan Zhongyixiang said: "On the first day of August, Luo Yanhuan admitted to colluding with Governor Xu Zhouduan, which was known to all the dynasties, and soon heard of it in various yamen. Then Zhou Duan was convicted of conspiracy.
The lower official thought that Luo Yanhuan was caught by Guo Tiesmith, and it was Guo Tiesmith who wanted him to die. It is not so much that Luo Yanhuan died in collusion with Zhou Duan, but rather that he was related to Li Chuyun.
Since Luo Yanhuan and Li Chuyun are friends, it is not easy to have any relationship with Zhou Duan. "
Siwen Xiao listened and sighed: "The Central Plains court has always been complicated, it is really difficult to figure out the way..."
Fan Zhongyi said: "It is difficult to say that it is difficult, and it is not difficult to say that it is not difficult, but we do not have important contacts in the Xu State court, so we can only look at the moon in the fog. It is the difference between the outside and the inside, the inside and the outside of the Confucianism, even if the officials in the court, if they are not in the center, they cannot know what medicine they are selling in the gourd."..
