Chapter 32: The hero holds his head and offers good advice, and the rebels slowly besiege the small state

Thousands of miles of surprise attack, breaking through the conquest of Lu in one fell swoop, the righteous army boosted the momentum, and all ethnic groups in the north returned one after another.

The soldiers are fast. Zhao Yu will select the northern volunteers gathered in the city of Olu, get more than 2,000 horses, and form a new army, led by himself. The original Rebel Army was divided into three parts, each led by Qi Jin, Yan Shizhong and Dai Degong, each with about 500 horses. So the rebels rushed to the next target - Ye Leisi City.

Most of the new soldiers are from hunters and shepherds. Some are good at bows and arrows, some are good at horse riding, and have certain combat skills, which can be used in the present, and good training will be more effective in the future.

When the main force of the Rebel Army went to attack Ye Leisi, the rear army of the Rebel Army, under the command of Lu Xiang and Liu Shang, divided their troops to appease the tribes and help the poor, as well as the small strongholds surrounding the lords of Dongsi. Part of the Northern Volunteers who temporarily lost the election and could not join the main force of the Rebel Army, as well as the newly informed Northern Warriors also came to help and surrounded all the small strongholds.

The small lords of those small strongholds face difficult choices. Some are still aware of current affairs. When they learned that the suppression of the Marquis of Lu had been destroyed by the rebels, they thought that even the largest countries in the north had been destroyed. What strength did they have to resist? They hurriedly cleaned up their wealth and took the people to escape first. Some simply singles absconded overnight. If you hesitate a little and don't escape in time, you will soon be surrounded by the swarm of northerners and won't run away.

Zhao Jin led the main force of the Volunteer Army to march northwest, came to the outside of Ye Leisi City, and immediately divided his troops to besiege the city. Zhao Jin led the new army and his guards to surround the west, and Qi Jin, Yan Shizhong and Dai Degong led their troops to surround the other three sides. There was a road out of the north in the west. Zhao Jin sent Gulla Mou with 500 northern cavalry to cut off the road and not let the Dongsi escape.

In this era, there are only two external roads in the north: one goes south to the direction of the new city; the other goes west, which can lead to the Principality of Sala and the Principality of Mogilio, which are both major countries. The head of the country is called the Grand Duke, and the population of a country is almost the same as the population of the whole northern land.

Gulu Lamou obeyed the order and chose to cut off the road. Sure enough, he caught many fleeing Dongsi nobles, destroyed the small entourage led by them, captured weapons, horses, and many other property. These are the unjust wealth they seized in the north, which is used to help the poor and supplement the national use.

Yeesihou is one of the two relatively large countries in the north, and after the destruction of Ovalu, many Dongsi lords went to defect with their soldiers and civilians to resist together. Before the main force of the Rebel army arrived, the monarch Molocheyev ordered to close the gate and guard the castle, and sent messengers to ride fast horses to the west to the Principality of Sala, the Principality of Mogilio and other major countries for help.

Unexpectedly, the messenger was killed by an indigenous warrior as soon as he left the city. This warrior is called Du Longhan and is famous in the north. He was an abandoned baby and raised by an old couple. The two old man had no children, but he picked up Du Longhan and was born very strong when he grew up. Then he picked up a baby girl named Viewy, who was beautiful and handsome. Everyone envied them and called them blessed. Unexpectedly, when Viy was only 12 years old, she played in front of the door. Because she was very lively and cute, she was caught by the passing Marquis Molacheev of Yeres and took her away on the spot. The second old man was reluctant to chase him and was killed. Molokeyev robbed Viui and went back. Only then did he know that she was the sister of the famous warrior Du Longhan. He was a little afraid, so he wanted to eradicate Du Longhan as well. Du Longhan was not at home at that time. After returning to his hometown, he was ambushed and injured, but still killed the rounder. Wenxiang knew that his family had been destroyed, and he was very sad and indignant. From then on, he entered the mountain to be a chivalrous man and specialized in assassinating Dongsi people. Molocheyev offered a reward for five years. He personally led troops to suppress him many times, but did not catch him. Instead, he was killed by many of his men by Dulonghan. Marquis Molocheyev hated and was afraid of Du Longhan and abused Viuyi to vent his anger. Viuyi was pregnant by ** and beaten and miscarried by the Marquise, which was very tragic. Dulonghan was so angry that he wanted to kill the Molocheyev family for revenge and tried his best to save his sister, but the Marquis's palace was a fortress in the fort, which was closely guarded and there was nothing he could do with the strength of a person. Du Longhan sometimes lived in seclusion in the mountains and sometimes wandered outside Ye Leisi City. In five years, he did not find a way for a day.

At this time, Zhao Jin's Rebels were about to be killed, and the Marquis Moloteev sent messenger out of the city to ask for help, which was being discovered by Du Longhan, who closely observed the movement in the city. Du Longhan chased and killed the messenger's entourage, forced the messenger to say what he knew, and then cut off the messenger's head and brought him to Zhao Jin.

Zhao Jin has heard the famous name of Du Longhan from the strong men in the north. When he learned that he came to join, he was overjoyed and went out to greet him in person. Du Longhan threw his head on the ground, cried and bowed, and asked the general to avenge himself.

Zhao Jin quickly picked up Du Longhan, understood Du Longhan's intention through Che Chuerliang's translation, and said to him, "Actually, even if you don't ask me, I will kill the heinous marquis and avenge the people of the people of the north. We are like-minded! Since you have joined the army, I welcome you very much. How about appointing you as a lieutenant first and leading the new army with Gulula Mou to attack Ye Lei Sicheng?

Du Longhan gladly received the order. Zhao Jin wanted to send something to Du Longhan, but the sword had been sent together; the golden helmet had been sent to Gululamou; because his body size was different from Du Longhan, he didn't need to give it to him; after thinking about it, there were only boots. Zhao Jin didn't care about it. He took off his golden boots on the spot and gave it to Du Longhan: "Warrior, look at your steel-like body, you are really a buried hero! People like you should make contributions. In the future, you will wear my boots and gallop around the battlefield. You will not only fight for the revenge of the people of the north, but also fight for building a prosperous country and defending your homeland in the future!"

Which monarch did such a thing when he took off his boots on the spot on the snow? Du Longhan was very moved and deeply thanked the lord and swore, "I will be loyal to the lord all my life!"

That night, Zhao Jin talked with Du Longhan and found that Du Longhan was not only brave, but also very smart. No wonder the marquis also arrested him for five years.

Du Longhan told Zhao Jin about the situation of Ye Leisi City, which he was familiar with: "Lord, Ye Leisi City is very strong, and the evil marquis is very good at leading troops. He is very strict in governing the army, and his subordinates dare not relax. Therefore, if you attack hard, you will lose a lot, and even... To be honest, the lord may not be able to attack.

Che Chuerliang felt that he looked down on the general and frowned, but still translated it truthfully.

Zhao Jin laughed and said, "That's right! You are right. Strong castles and well-trained defenders are really difficult to attack the city. So, what's the best way?"

Du Longhan calmly offered Zhao Jin a plan to attack the city: "Although the evil marquis is good at leading the army, he has a weakness - he has a lot of doubts. I suggest that the lord can bluff and scare him out of the city.

Zhao Jin was overjoyed and couldn't help patting Du Longhan on the shoulder: "Good idea! It can be seen that you are both civil and martial arts!"

"Wenwu Shuangquan" is a Chinese idiom. Che Chu Erliang translated it and translated it as "both martial arts and culture". Du Longhan said hurriedly, "I only have martial arts and no culture. I can't read or read.

"What does it matter if you haven't read the book?" Zhao Jin inspired Du Longhan: "Do you have to know a lot of words and read a lot of books to be educated? You have a good mind and can plot. This is a culture, which is more useful than being a poor doctor!"

Che Chuerliang scratched his head repeatedly and didn't know how to translate the last sentence. Fortunately, Zhao Jin told him by a returning female translator bought by a rich merchant: "What the general means is that it is better than people who are useless to study." Che Chuerliang was very impressed. He was worthy of being the person who was with the generals, so he translated it to Du Longhan.

Zhao Jin also encouraged Du Longhan to develop it well, not only to practice martial arts, but also to give full play to the natural advantages of flexible mind, learn some military tactics, and move towards the goal of becoming a general.

The next day, Zhao Jin began to bluff to scare the enemy, causing more volunteers and even ordinary civilians to come to help fight. The existing troops wanted to continue to expand the camp. Du Longhan and Gulu Lamu took people and horses in turn and quietly drove out at night. During the day, they pretended to be reinforcements and drove into the military camp, so repeatedly.

As a result, after besieging for more than half a month, I don't know how many Rebels there are in the city. I only see the increasing number of troops and expanding the camp. The Marquis Molocheyev is diligent in military affairs and observes in the city every day. He only sees more and more surprised and more suspicious! Finally, he decided that his troops were not enough to defend the castle and must break through and find a way to survive.

Zhao Jin was not afraid of enough bluffing, so he tamped with Princena and then proposed to the city to exchange Princena for Viuyi. Princena is Molocheyev's favorite distant niece, so Molocheev agreed to exchange.

Zhao Jin's intention was not only to further scare Molocheyev, but also to be afraid that Molocheyev would kill Viuyi before breaking through, which made Dulonghan sad, so he wanted to replace Viuyi first. But when Princena heard that she was going to be exchanged, she stopped Zhao Jin and begged, "General! I don't want to exchange, I don't want to exchange!"

Zhao Jinqi said, "Don't you want to exchange? It's to take you home!"

Princena said pitifully, "I... I don't have a home, the Marquise doesn't like me, and... and the general has so many people, you must besiege the city. I'm in the city, and I'm going to be attacked again. I don't know if I'm killed yet!"

Zhao Jin couldn't help but say, "You are quite planning!"

Princesa had to nod her head and admit that she looked at Zhao Yu with big watery eyes: "I'm already a prisoner of the general... In exchange, the best result is just... to be captured again! Bad results will die! So General, please don't let me go, I don't want to."

Zhao Jin couldn't help but be embarrassed and picked up his hands and thought carefully. At this time, I felt that the female prisoner was quite cute, but she wanted to stay, but... the overall situation was the most important. So Zhao Jin said cruelly, "No, I have to let you go."

Princena pleaded again, and Zhao Jin had ordered her men to drag her out for exchange. Alas, I can't bear it, but I can't help it.
