As Youzhou City was besieged, a large number of troops and logistics personnel from the Tang Dynasty quickly gathered in the outskirts of Youzhou City. In two days, more than 100,000 people were reached. The temporary camp in the outskirts of Yanjing City in Youzhou stretched for more than ten miles and was in a vast and powerful manner.

Yelu Feng, who was left by Youzhou, was shocked when he heard the news and quickly gathered his confidants to discuss countermeasures. At that time, the entire Yanjing area was full of troops controlled by Duan Mingyu. In addition to Qi County, Yanjing City completely became a turtle in the jar. Many battles in history have a characteristic. One side initially had a strong momentum, attacking the city and siege, but after the final defeat, it was defeated thousands of miles. Not only was the land that had just been captured, but his own territory would also be brought in because of this. I think that Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi was defeated by the Gaoliang River because he was very powerful in the early stage and ignored the area around Youzhou City and was finally dumped. Duan Mingyu had an advantage, that is, Yan land was occupied by the Khitan Kingdom, and Yan land still had the mood of missing his homeland. Moreover, Duan Mingyu was not planning to attack Youzhou City directly, but first cut off the surrounding wings and completely isolated Yanjing, so the battle would be much easier.

After breakfast, the craftsmen were holding big bowls of porridge and vegetables, squatting around the tent, listening to the craftsman Zhang Toutou'er posing in the gantry formation. Zhang Toutou was a fat man, and the military master who was in charge of the military commander called him Fat Zhang. Fat Zhang was already very talkative, and when he was stimulated by this nationally striking battle, he chatted even more excitedly.

He spitted and showed off: "If you want to say that the Khitan Emperor Yelu Abaoji integrated the eight Khitan tribes with three thousand tribes and connected with Xi Kingdom. He first occupied Yunzhou when attacking Zunhua, and then Zunhua, the defender of Miyun rose to the city to join him..."

Duan Mingyu was walking by here. When he heard this, he thought, only one of the three cities was defeated, and only one city fought hard to the end. One of the two commanders was voluntarily surrendered. Although Yelu Abaoji was at the border for a long time and his prestige was a great reason, the people were living in poverty since the two generations of Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty ascended the throne, and all kinds of unpopularity were probably also an important reason. Otherwise, the Khitan still had no chance of success at this time. If we only consider the personal future, how could those generals surrender without fighting? If we dare not compete, wouldn't it be possible to escape? I'm afraid they also have a sense of depression in their hearts."

Fatty Zhang said: "Immediately afterwards, the Khitan sent troops to attack Juyongguan. The defenders were defeated. There were more than 10,000 soldiers and generals from all over the country. There were 200,000 troops in one place. Zhu Wen also offered Youzhou and Zhuozhou several states. The climate of the Khitan was completely perfect."

"Fatty Zhang, what are you talking nonsense here again! I'm going to gain the ambition of others and destroy my own dignity. Grandma, do you want to eat military sticks?"

A small flag of the patrol camp led a few soldiers over, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "Don't see the Khitan's arrogance for a moment. The emperor has appointed General Duan, the King of Zhao, as the commander, and commanded 300,000 troops. As soon as the army arrived, it would recover Yizhou, Zhuozhou, the barbarians and the mobs, and it would definitely collapse! Go and do things when you have enough, don't talk nonsense here!"

When the craftsmen heard this, they immediately dispersed, and Duan Mingyu also walked away quietly.

In the Khitan camp, Yelu Abaoji was looking at a simple sand table with candles. Yelu Deguang, Xiao Kang and other generals surrounded him. Yelu Abaoji looked carefully for a long time and sighed softly: "Duan Mingyu is worthy of being the number one general of the Tang Dynasty. This arrangement is really unbreakable and impeccable."

Xiao Kang leaned slightly and said, "Duan Mingyu moved his troops outside the city of Youzhou and led his main force to station on both sides of the Gaoliang River in the south of the city. Another general Xu Jing led his troops into the river, Wang Yanzhang camped in Yizhou, and Shangrang led the 10,000 pioneers to look at Qi County. Such deployments are intertwined, biting each other, and can attack when advancing, defend when retreating, and respond to each other!"

Yelu Abaoji nodded and said, "Yes, if I fail in a battle, Duan Mingyu, King Zhao, will advance like an arrow, penetrate my heart and completely defeat me with powerful troops. If I can win, he can retreat to Yizhou Prefecture nearby and wait for help with Xiongcheng. This little fox is not easy to deal with."

Yelu Deguang said in confusion: "Dad, if we have the ability to defend the city, no one in my Khitan can be the right person of the Tang army. Why don't he directly defend Yizhou City with such a director? With this ability of the Tang army to defend the city, we may not be able to do anything to him if we have ten times more troops, right?"

Yelu Abaoji smiled slightly and said, "He came to fight me as a barbarian, rebellious. What's the matter with hiding in Yizhou City? Duan Mingyu defeated us in the battle of Yanmen Pass, but after all, it was a field battle and had never fought with me. This involved the strategy between the two countries. Now this deployment is also testing my ability."

Xiao Kang pondered for a while and asked, "I wonder what your Majesty and the Generals think about this situation?"

Yelu Deguang frowned and said, "The army of the Southern Dynasty is known as 300,000, but my son once killed 100,000 in Zhenzhou, and estimated that there are only 200,000. Now there are 130,000 people gathered around Youzhou. Our army now has 300,000 troops, so it is okay to fight it."

Xiao Kang nodded and said, "Your Majesty is very saying. With the view of humble duties, we should use Youzhou as the axis and constantly send troops to confront and consume. Duan Mingyu came with his life. He could not squat in Yizhou City. He wanted to attack Youzhou and beware of our reinforcements, nor could we watch us escape from the desert. We have to lead his nose and lead his flaws. That would be better then..."

As soon as he said this, he heard a noise outside, and someone shouted outside the tent: "Report to Your Majesty, the surrendered Han general Liu Yilong heard that the Southern Dynasty army had already reached the city of Youzhou, and was timid and afraid to die. He led more than a hundred people from his troops to escape from the military camp. Now we have been captured. Please punish Your Majesty!"

When Yelu Abaoji heard this, his face changed suddenly, and Xiao Kang said, "Go and have a look!"

Yelu Abaoji looked extremely cold and said sternly: "No need to see, you will kill them!"

More than a hundred people, Xiao Kang was shocked when he heard this, but when he saw Yelu Abaoji's dark face clearly, he nodded and said in a deep voice: "I understand!"

On the school ground, more than a hundred soldiers knelt on the ground, with their hands tied back, and a steel knife was pressed on their necks. The outside were soldiers of the three armies who were ordered to come to the prison for execution, with iron armor and cold clothes standing in a tight formation. The red tassels on the head of the gun were slowly rising in the night wind, and the steel knife was reflected by the bonfire and the cold light of blood was constantly flashing. The school ground for thousands of people was silent.

A black flag was flying in the wind, and Xiao Kang, who was in military uniform, stood under the banner, with a tall and pine figure. His strong face was cut like a knife under the burning torch, "I believe that every brother should have heard of this sentence since the day he put on this dress and picked up your swords and guns.
