It has entered late winter, the weather is very cold, and the siege has basically stopped.

Li Chongshan sat in the warm tent, but his heart felt cold.

How could Liu Jingye betray himself? How could he betray himself? He was not good enough to him? What could Lin Jianyue give him? It was impossible to give him more than he could give him. What could make him so desperate?

More than ten or two hundred thousand elites just disappeared. No matter how strong the Mongols were, they could not withstand such consumption. Among the current main force of the cavalry, the proportion of real Mongolians was no longer very high.

Continuous failures have severely affected his prestige. If the Xue army that he used to intimidate the world in the Central Plains suffers heavy losses again, will he still be able to maintain his position as the common khan of the grassland?

Li Chongshan slowly walked outside the tent and looked at Yancheng in the heavy snow. He had never been so anxious to kill Lin Jianyue in the city. But he also understood that even if he was given another month, he would not be able to conquer this fortress.

city.

Lin Jianyue's guards were too tenacious. He had received news that the food in the city was gradually running out. The bows, arrows, thunder, stones, gold juice, etc. were all almost consumed, but his siege troops still couldn't stand on the top of the city.

, the morale of the defenders is still high.

The most frightening thing is that the Wuwei Army of Long Jie's army in Xuzhou and Chenzhou is still as stable as an old cow. It can be seen that the morale of its hundreds of thousands of troops has dropped significantly. The troops who went out to hunt grass and valleys also suffered heavy losses. If this continues,

How long can it last?

Li Chongshan looked at Lin Jianyue at the foot of the city, and Lin Jianyue also looked at Li Chongshan at the top of the city.

The waves of attacks in the past few days suddenly stopped. Lin Jianyue knew that either Hedong had launched a full-scale counterattack or news of the outcome of the battle on Jingdong Road had arrived. He did not know the specific situation, but Li Chongshan, who was besieging the city, must have known about it.

Lin Jianyue was already considering whether to send out beacon smoke and summon the Long Jie Army's Wuwei Army to go out of the city for a decisive battle. Because the enemy was so concentrated but the morale was severely damaged, there were really few chances, so he still fought at home. But the risk was huge. Even if the number was equal, without Li Fei's cavalry

Lin Jianyue, the main force of the army and Sun Zhengyi, knew that he could not defeat Li Chongshan in a field battle.

But it would take at least a month for them to come back. How could we keep Li Chongshan? Lin Jianyue was at his wits' end.

A thick layer of snow had accumulated, and Lin Jianyue had been walking back and forth on the top of the city for several hours. Thousands of heavily armored guards were watching Lin Jianyue nearby, their eyes following Lin Jianyue's figure, and his body remained motionless.

When Liu Bingyun saw that it was okay to continue like this, he was worried that if His Highness was exposed to the cold, the morale of the defenders would be severely damaged. Now he was the only one in the city who could persuade Lin Jianyue. Liu Bingyun winked at Hao Tianfeng and walked towards Lin Jianyue together.

"Your Highness, it seems that the news of the victory in Hedong and Dongdong has been transmitted. The rice wine has been warmed in the palace. Why don't you go have a drink? It's worth celebrating."

Lin Jianyue looked at Liu Bingyun and Liu Bingyun for a few times, but did not respond. He grabbed a handful of snow and threw it into the sky, letting it fall on his face and body, as if this could make him sober.

"Mr. Liu, has Li Yang sent the message?"

As soon as the siege stopped, Lin Jianyue had a hunch. He was afraid that once Li Chongshan decided to retreat, he would not retreat to Kaifeng, but would retreat all the way across the Yellow River. Then Kaifeng Prefecture or Jingdong Road, especially in big cities, the Han people would

He would be subject to crazy plunder and revenge by the Hu people, so he asked Li Yang to immediately organize the people from the Enemy Intelligence Division of the Suppression Division to evacuate the residents of the city to the greatest extent possible to minimize losses.

Liu Bingyun smiled and said: "Above the snow, the Enemy Intelligence Department has rich experience and many methods. Li Yang has received the signal and the order has been sent out. Your Highness can rest assured."

Lin Jianyue looked much better, and then said: "Based on the current situation, Mr. Liu and General Hao think it is better for Sun Zhengyi to go directly to Kaifeng Mansion or to clean up Jingdong Road?"

Liu Bingyun and Hao Tianfeng looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Jianyue did not ask Sun Zhengyi to come directly to Yancheng. It seemed that he had made up his mind and would not risk going out of the city to fight Li Chongshan head-on.

"Even if Pu Jinzhong surrenders, it is still a huge hidden danger. I think it is better for Sun Zhengyi to continue to command the Xinyang Army and Pu Jinzhong's Huaidong Army to clean up Jingdong Road. With him here, Pu Jinzhong will not cause any trouble. If you go to Kaifeng Mansion,

If it is not good, if we encounter Li Chongshan's army and have an unstable footing, it may cause heavy losses."

After Hao Tianfeng finished speaking, Liu Bingyun immediately added: "It is also possible that Li Chongshan is stubborn and insists on being tough. It is not a big problem for us to resist for another two or three months. By then, Jingdong Road has been cleared and the Huaidong Army has integrated

, we will decide at this time

Regardless of the strength and morale of our troops, we are bound to win. However, except for Li Fei’s 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry troops to cooperate with Sun Zhengyi, the rest should immediately return to Chenzhou to join Liu Jiahao. Even if Li Chongshan withdraws, we will still have a chance to attack

he."

Liu Bingyun knew Lin Jianyue's thoughts, and his words were comforting.

Lin Jianyue shook his head and said: "Li Fei can come back, but who is Batusu? If you want to take advantage of him, I'm afraid it's too late. Batusu's ability and vision are not comparable to ordinary people, he will definitely persuade Li Chongshan to come back

Hebei has regained its strength. Mr. Liu and Uncle Hao, since Lin Jianyue's debut, it has been going smoothly without any failures. Although it looks very good now, I know that this time is a real failure for me, Lin Jianyue, and I have paid so much

huge

At the price, the hidden Sun Zhengyi has also been exposed, but he is still helpless with Li Chongshan's main force. To put it bluntly, the real decisive force in regaining Hedong is your Liu family. The matter on Jingdong Road is actually internal strife, trump card

It's all done. Now we have the advantage, but I still don't dare to attack with the whole army for a decisive battle. I can only watch Li Chongshan leave leisurely. Do you think it is because I, Lin Jianyue, have begun to regress, and my courage and courage are all gone?

"

The two were shocked when they heard this, but they couldn't let Lin Jianyue think like this.

Liu Bingyun said loudly: "His Highness's trump card is not the Liu family or Sun Zhengyi. His Highness's trump card is the wise and mighty Highness himself, the hundreds of thousands of battle-hardened troops, and the tens of millions of people from the Central Plains who are loyal to His Highness."

Hao Tianfeng also said passionately: "Recovering Hedong gave us more than 100,000 more war horses, and the capture of Jingdong Road will not be less. Today, His Highness has all his advisers and generals, the people are loyal to him, and the troops are sufficient, who else in the world can stop him?

?Isn’t there just a shortage of cavalry now? After this time, we are fully capable of

It makes up for it, and I have a lot of experience in cavalry combat. On the other hand, Li Chongshan has been losing his main force. In the future, even if it is just cavalry versus cavalry, we will not be afraid of him. Your Highness, although I am not young, my ambition is still there.

I am willing to be a vanguard and capture the capital of Guanzhong, Hebei Province for His Highness, and capture Li Chongshan and bring him to His Highness for questioning."

Knowing the good intentions of the two, Lin Jianyue forced a smile and patted their shoulders again, but he could no longer dampen their self-confidence and enthusiasm.

"Listening to what you said, I feel much better. It seems that we still have a lot to do in the future. Now that we have won the victory, of course we have to have a drink and have fun. Uncle Hao, when I was learning strategy from you on Qingfeng Mountain, how could we

I never thought that I would be able to face-to-face with Li Chongshan so soon. The whole trip was like a dream! At that time, Li Chongshan didn’t know who Hao Tianfeng and Lin Jianyue were, and he should hate him to the bone now! Hahaha!”

Lin Jianyue is young and a martial arts practitioner, so the cold wind will not affect him much, but these two are quite young, especially Liu Bingyun, strictly speaking, a scholar. Lin Jianyue saw that his lips were blue, and it would be bad if he was frozen to death.
