Liu Heita listened to Ling Jingyan’s words, "Li Chongjiu is determined, and the double encirclement network wants me to be trapped in Liu Heita for years."
Ling Jingyan said, "Anyway, the general doesn’t want to leave Yongnian City. The war situation is roughly like this. The Turkish onslaught on Zhao’s frontier fortress and Zhao’s siege of Yongnian City now depends on who will support it longer."
Liu Heita nodded and said, "Is the city all set?"
Ling Jingyan said, "General, please rest assured that the city has been decorated. There are more than 20,000 foot soldiers in Xia Jun and nearly 20,000 family members of Xia Guo officials. These are all our own people. Before Zhao Jun’s camp, we specially removed everyone and drove them out of the city to put an end to Zhao Junxi."
Liu Heita said, "Zhao Jun’s fine penetration is impenetrable, and the former cities fall. I heard that there are Zhao Jun’s fine penetration. I should know that although this army is my confidant, many generals and soldiers in the city are likely to have been bought by Xia Jun, a former Zhang Xuansu."
Ling Jingyan said, "This is a key point. If people want to calm down, it is necessary to be strict and strict. It is feasible for our army to sit together. Five soldiers and a group supervise each other. One person has a mistake, and all the generals are beheaded. In addition, all four doors should be guarded by reliable confidant generals and put their families in the general office. I believe it is understandable when the hostages are in danger."
"In addition, the granary armory in the city and the gate of Jiufang Square should also be watched closely by people, so it can be avoided."
Liu Heita listened to the speech and said, "I will do as you say."
Speaking of this, Liu Heita paused and said, "I think the terrain here in the east of the city is relatively low. Zhao Jun is likely to choose this place to break the city and need to strengthen the defense here."
Ling Jing said, "I’ll arrange someone to do it for General Ying."
Thought of here, Liu Heita nodded and strode to the northeast watchtower.
The next day is the autumn wind.
Li Chongjiu recruited more than 50,000 people from all counties in Mianzhou. He was expelled from Yongnian City in troubled times and was recruited for military service. It was a narrow escape. People in Mianzhou were reluctant to go when they heard about the recruitment.
However, the Zhao army sent a number of riders to block the main roads of cities and villages with fierce fighting, so that the people could do as they fled.
Zhao Jun should make every effort to drive Yongnian City at the age of fifteen and fifty in all counties of the state.
The people were frightened and sent from various counties for a day until it was dark before they arrived at Zhao camp.
Lu Fan rode on a cruise with Ge, even if he was clever, he dared not flee, but it was another scene when he came to Zhao’s camp.
There is an intoxicating smell in the barracks after burning the straw. Thousands of people can sit on it. More than a dozen huge round wooden barrels are filled with green vegetable soup. Huang Chengcheng wheat cakes are piled up like hills. The most important thing is that several rice tanks are filled with millet porridge.
Zhao Jun, the leader of the gang, also put porridge cakes on the ground just the same. It’s a long day’s walk, and the people are always talking.
"Look at everything. You’ll open your mouth for me later. Don’t worry."
After hearing this, the civilian service burst into cheers. For the people who have never had enough to eat at home for two meals a day on weekdays, it is simply a dream every night. Even on holidays, they have never eaten such good things.
The people couldn’t believe that the escort Zhao Jun’s gang leader added, "Look, after this promise, you should do a good job and eat so well every day. We Zhao Wang Aimin regards Tianyi as a family, not only Zhao people, but all the people in Hebei are equally treated. You don’t want military orders, you can get a bucket of rice every ten days, and you can ensure that your wife and children will not worry about eating this month. His mother is always a government soldier, but only two buckets of rice a month, which is cheaper for you Tian She Han."
These people were dumbfounded. They had never heard of military service or rice grain, which could be sent to more than one million men and women in Hebei counties in those days. At that time, when the great cause was flourishing, Yan Pi, the minister in charge of supervising the construction of Yongji Canal, was in full swing, and even women were forced to serve in time.
In order to build this Yongji Canal, the people’s bones were built, and Yan Pi (Note 1) did not pay the people after the Yongji Canal was completed. At that time, the people’s civil service was a matter of course. The law of the Sui Dynasty stipulated that the people should serve for 20 days every year, and even bring their own food when they served.
As far as Zhao Junwu is concerned, the people not only have such a rich meal every day for a month, but also get paid three buckets of rice. This treatment is just like dreaming.
Note 1 Yan Pier is the famous Yan Li to be continued.

Chapter five hundred and nine Tushan Lincheng
Yongnian east ridge connected into a piece of farmland was immediately crushed by several footprints.
In the army, the packhorse will casually throw bags of dry soil in Yuncheng East to the ground as soon as it loses its civilian service. It will lift the bags and dump the dry soil into the mud, or directly cover the straw bags with a few shovels and a floating civil hammer for tamping.
A small part of the heaped-up mountains in the east of the city was built almost in a moment.
After a night’s hard work, I touched my forehead and sweated one by one. At this time, Zhao Jun’s head army carried the food to the construction site.
After the civil service, I saw the fragrant yellow and thick corn porridge, and all of them were screaming in my stomach.
When I had a full shift before the civil service, I replaced the tools and worked hard all night. The civil service was full of millet porridge with a coarse pottery basin and a small piece of onion mixed with tofu. A whole sea bowl with sorghum and wheat cakes squatted in the mud and dumped the gills to help Hu eat and drink.
What people in this generation seek is not three meals a day, although it is not new food, but the people also eat happily. When Zhao Jun promised to have three full meals a day, he really kept his word.
Seeing the scene, the civil servants are all motivated.
Seeing that the civil servants were doing well, they nodded with satisfaction while supervising the construction of heaped-up mountains.
The method of besieging a city with heaped-up mountains in a soldier’s home says that although the loss of troops in imminent siege is less than that in ant-attached siege, it consumes a lot of manpower, and it is difficult to implement this method unless the siege party has enough manpower.
In the past, the greatest fear of labor expeditions was the lack of military food. Often, soldiers did not have enough to eat before the war, not to mention increasing civilian service.
For example, the soldiers in the besieged city are usually exhausted by the auxiliary soldiers in the camp. For Xu Shijie, the Shenzhen-Shenzhen Military Strategy, of course, knowing the outcome of the war is definitely not the number of troops between the two armies, especially in this siege war, the victory or defeat lies in the morale of the soldiers.
But the eye scene was very satisfying to Xu Shiji. The 60,000 besieged Zhao army got a full rest. With the continuous supply of grain and rice from Liyang Cang to the 50,000 people, it almost became a 50,000 new force. The construction period of this heaped-up mountain was five or six times faster than expected, and the base was constantly high.
Tushan left and right wind blowing reeds, Zhao foot soldiers’ helmets swaying in the red tassels, and 5,000 Zhao foot soldiers were in ambush. Once Xia Jun came to interfere with Tushan’s repair, they could meet them before.
"General’s dinner."
Xu Shiji nodded and QinBing brought him good refined grain, white flour bun, a small bowl of carved rice and a bowl of greasy mutton soup.
After the capture of Liyangcang, the food of the Zhao army was also good. Like Xu Shiji, the generals could eat refined food and meat. Although the ordinary foot soldiers ate simply, they also ate three meals.
Xu Shiji took the white-flour bun and asked the foot soldiers if they had eaten it before getting a positive answer. Finally, he brought him a pot to drink greasy.
The scene of the hot work here has already alarmed Xia Jun, the guarding city, but someone immediately told Liu Heita Lingjing after seeing Zhao Juncheng repairing the heaped-up mountains.
After Liu Heita Ling Jingwen heard it, he came to watch the east guarding city generals say, "Our east wall is lower than the north, the west and the south of the city. Zhao Junli seems to want to break my wall by attacking the city with heaped-up mountains."
"As the king expected, Zhao is really going to fight the main force of the east wall." Ling Jing pulled out the folding fan and pointed to the sky and said with confidence, "But there is nothing to worry about. Since ancient times, there have been two ways to attack the city, but one is flying into the earth, the other is flying into the mountains, and the siege is flying. We don’t have to worry about it if we want to be royal according to law."
Liu Heita nodded and asked the general of the garrison, "Do you know that General Zhao is a person?"
The general guarding the city pointed out to the Zhao army barracks, which was hazy in the early morning fog, "There seems to be a banner of Xu standing behind the heaped-up mountain. In my opinion, it should be Xu Shiji, the general of Zhao army."
Liu Heita Ling Jingwen’s words were all dignified. Liu Heita said, "Xu Shiji is the first name of the Zhao army, and even I may not be his opponent. You are strictly forbidden to play easily. Can you defend the city?"
Dongcheng generals listened to the hurriedly agreed when added, "The general east city wall is low and humble, and foot soldiers are on pins and needles every day."
After Liu Heita said, "Don’t you worry that I will send 100 crossbowmen and 100 archers to strengthen the wall defense, and I will make an army stationed in the famous square again."
General Xia Jun thanked him gladly when he heard the news.
Liu Heita Ling Jingdang returned to the General’s Office.
The sun rose higher and higher at noon, 200 paces away from the city, and the heaped-up mountains were almost as high as the walls. Watching the Zhao Junmin servants work in full swing, the heaped-up mountains increased inch by inch, and the Dongcheng garrison became restless. If the heaped-up mountains were raised again, the actual situation in Yongnian City would leave a list of Zhao troops outside the city.
Xia Jun Dongcheng Shoujiang was frightened that Zhao Jun’s local industry was so fast, but Xia Jun foot soldiers saw the food of Zhao Junmin servants, but they couldn’t help but keep flowing.
Since ancient times, it has been customary for the guarding city to be short of grain and grass. Although Liu Heita has prepared in advance, the grain and grass in the city are also very tight
Before the siege, Xia Jun soldiers had two meals a day, but at the moment of Zhao’s encirclement, except for the foot soldiers in the city, it was reduced to one meal, or the kind of coarse millet that hurt the chest. Even the battle in Zhao Junmin was not as good as Liu Heita’s love for soldiers and eating brown rice together. See a scene where the morale of the foot soldiers in Xia Jun is not big and weak.
But morale is one thing, but whether you have the strength to fight is another. Looking at Chengtou’s hunger and sticking his chest to his back, Xia Jun foot soldier Xia Jun Dongcheng Shoujiang thought that the war had already weakened his opponent by three points.
The next day, Zhao’s heaped-up mountains were higher than the walls of Xia Jun.
Xia Jun Shoujiang decided what to do to stop the heaped-up mountains from advancing toward the city wall. The northeast city wall was densely covered with Xia Jun crossbowmen, and the outcrop of civilian service was a rain of arrows.
Dozens of people were recruited to civilian service after being shot by arrows.
Zhao is also transferred to the six-tip gun to pave the way in the Tushan gun nest. Zhao throws the gravel device at the Xia Jun city wall.
But I saw the rubble flying and scratching the wall.
The watchtower Xia Jun was smashed to the wall, and the battle of Zhao Junmin took the opportunity to push the heaped-up mountains to the wall for more than ten steps.
I didn’t expect the range of Zhao’s trebuchet to be so far away. Xia Jun Shoujiang hurriedly ordered the Ministry to weave the wall of the enemy tower with thick hemp rope into a cloth curtain and block Zhao’s gravel from killing the wall Xia Jun crossbowman.
Seeing that the heaped-up stone thrower lost its suppression on the foot soldiers of Xia Jun City, Xu Shiji thought about a decree to reconcile croton arsenic and other poisons with dried cattle and horse manure, and sulfur hit the city together, but seeing that the toxic smoke of Chengtou filled Xia Jun with coughing, his eyes were filled with smoke, and the garrison soldiers were guarding the city.
Xia Jun Shoujiang forced the suppression to make the foot soldiers go to the city with wet cloth and masks, which was just a little better.
The heaped-up hills built by the Zhao army further approached the Xia Jun wall by nearly 150 paces, and the Xia Jun wall was more than 20 feet high, while the heaped-up hills built by the Zhao army were more than 30 feet high, and a three-story turret was built overnight in Zhao Junmin.
Shoujiang told Liu Heita Lingjing again that this situation was not good.
Liu Heita Ling Jing came to the east wall of the city and saw that today Zhao Jun’s heaped-up mountains are much higher than Xia Jun’s Chengtou, and they are still widening and deepening, and the lights of heaped-up mountains are now on display in Zhao Junmin, and they are still working overnight.
In the dark, Zhao Jun transported wood and bricks from the bottom of the mountain to a temporary turret on the top of the mountain, which had laid the foundation.
Liu Heita said, "Mr. Ling said that there was a heaped-up mountain to attack the city and a plan to defend the enemy."
